Welcome to our blog
We are in retirement on our barge called "Body and Soul", on the waterways of France - since 2005 - with "Coco Chanel" and "Minky" our two cats.

Lucie, my Wife, is a brilliant cook. She speaks French fluently and without accent, ( I am so glad she agreed to come with me!) .
Her interests are expressed by including photos of her delicious recipes
Most of my postings contain some family news and/or, descriptions of where we have been on "Body and Soul", but if you are not a family member just click on the line below for something more entertaining:
“It isn’t all plain sailing, y’know!”
- One cannot possibly travel thousands of Kilometres on these waterways without incident - good, bad or funny - it is these I try to describe. We hope you will enjoy them too.
Please Note:
- On the left hand column of each posting, there are many photo albums.
- The left hand column is also the home of - "My Rantings" where you will read comments, views and topics of information which have caught my eye.
