It all began with a crazy idea in 2007, six months later I found myself living on a narrowboat. Sixteen years later I have never looked back and remain grateful for that crazy idea.<\/p>
Spending most of the time in marinas in the first years, as commitments dictated a home base was required.<\/p>
In 2018 I brought my current narrowboat, affectionately known as Strenshie. He, yes he, is a traditional style boat with a boatman's cabin and a mid engine room. I lived onboard and worked in an office until 2020, when my home, like many, became my office. Working Monday to Friday and escaping every weekend. In the winter of 2020 I started on my pyrography journey, making bits for friends and family. By the next summer, feeling brave I decided to see if anyone else might be interested in my work so became a roving trader, well at weekends anyway! One thing lead to another and now here I am a continuous cruiser, roaming the UK's inland waterways popping up my floating shop when I can.<\/p>
Now in 2025 it's time to branch out into the world of clothing, accessories and other gift ideas.<\/p>
