Narrowboat Nomads

Steve

Haywood

We were aware of a dreamlike quality to our trip. There was something far-fetched about it something out of this world.

Austerity might be getting everyone else down but Steve is waving his worries goodbye on another of his light-hearted trips around the picturesque English waterways.
This time it's a bit different though. This time he's not just cruising with his cat Kit but with his long-suffering wife Em who's given up work and wants her share of easy living too. They've rented out their home for the ups and downs of a life afloat and there's no going
back now as they cruise from the historic River Thames through the Midlands and westward into the hills of Wales meeting a familiar cast of eccentrics and oddballs along the way and experiencing one of the hottest summers of recent years.
But how after life in a four-bedroom house do they manage to survive together squeezed into a space the size of a potting shed? Other books pretend to tell you about life afloat this one shows you what it's really like.
