Narrowboat nomads - Steve Haywood

We were aware of a dreamlike quality toour trip. There was something far-fetchedabout it, something out of this world.

Austerity might be getting everyone else down, but Steve is wavinghis worries goodbye on another of his light-hearted trips around thepicturesque English waterways.
This time it's a bit different, though. This time he's not just cruisingwith his cat, Kit, but with his long-suffering wife, Em, who's givenup work and wants her share of easy living too. They've rented outtheir 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 theMidlands and westward into the hills of Wales, meeting a familiarcast of eccentrics and oddballs along the way, and experiencing oneof the hottest summers of recent years.
But how, after life in a four-bedroom house, do they manage tosurvive together squeezed into a space the size of a potting shed?Other books pretend to tell you about life afloat - this one shows youwhat it's really like.
