Canals Are My World (Ulverscroft Large Print Series)

The latest from the author of the popular CANALS ARE MY HOME and CANALS ARE MY LIFE. Freelance journalist Iris Bryce, and her jazz-trumpeter husband, Owen, live aboard the narrow boat "Bix" and explore the inland waterways of England. Travelling from town to town, taking casual work when they can, they enjoy a lifestyle most would envy. This book spans two years of their nomadic voyaging in the Midlands and North Country. We are introduced to lock-keepers and landlords, barge skippers and jazz bands. The scene ranges from canals in the backstreets of industrial towns to the remotest country reaches of navigable rivers.
