After a chance remark at a rather drunken dinner party, John and Judie found themselves the proud owners of 'Celandine', a 55 foot narrowboat. Now in their middle eighties, and well past the age for a bus pass, they have spent their retirement cruising the canal network in the British isles.
Judie's acute and humorous observations of life on the cut make this an entertaining read for those already seduced by the magic of the canals, boaters and non-boaters alike.
And however improbable the incidents depicted in the book, they all happen to be true.
