Hi everyone, I'm Fiona, I am a live aboard boater. I have four dogs and I lean towards being a 21st century moderate hippy. I love technology and all the benefits it gives us, but I also care deeply about the environment and having time to stop and stare at the nature around me. (I do love tie-dyed clothing and the smell of lavender and roses as well). I want to learn a lot of the old-time crafts like knitting, crocheting, and lace making. Also kitchen crafts like jam and soup making (although not jam soup). I am hoping that soon I will have more time to be able to pursue these hobbies.


When I am cruising I will cover as much of the English and Welsh canal system as I can get to. I will be discovering all the little quirky places and delightful views that I can find. I will tell you all about the best ones. As well as all the lovely places I find I will be trying to find the history of places and all the little stories that make this such an interesting country. This I will also share with you.

I have written a few books that I have published on Amazon, one is a book about how to make banana bread, Fiona's Photo Cookbook - How to make banana bread and another is Facts for Facts Sake - 101 Random Facts. I will continue to add more links to my books as I write them.
