Watery Ways - Last Minute Christmas Present Idea

For anybody that is interested in living on a barge, you should read this book by Valerie Poore.  It is a fascinating insight into her first year of living on the water and about her falling in love with the way of life.  There are some lovely snippets about Rotterdam and her 'faring' adventures.  I couldn't put it down once I'd started.  I got my copy from Amazon UK.

  2. I am lucky enough to have this week off work, so I started the book last night, read until my eyelids gave way (!) and then stayed in bed this morning until 10.00am finishing it! I only got up for necessities such as tea. Amazon actually delivered the book the very next day after I ordered it.
