1 Comment on Ep 90: Cabin Fever Onboard Maggie!

So, maybe I’ve been on onboard too long, but I was in a jolly good mood and decided today was the DAY when I sorted out my life. Light-hearted and fun, this is what I get up to on a daily basis.
Big love!

Ep 86: Creepy men on the towpath. A RANT.

No Comments on Ep 86: Creepy men on the towpath. A RANT.

After having a stranger TELL me they were going to come onto my boat, convinced that we would be perfect together, my patience snapped. I am very tired of receiving messages like these from men demanding where I am for them to come over. They have no idea of the terror this incites. SO, I will be beginning a journey of investigating proper safety methods that you can use to arm your boat against these idiots.

1 Comment on Forgotten Voices of the Great War on a Narrowboat.

A reading of Max Arthur’s Forgotten Voices of the Great War during Armistice.
It’s always an honour to read these recollections, and hope to share with you some poignant pieces from my favourite book during this time of remembrance.
