Since December 2019 I've been writing the 'Characters of the Cut' column for the Towpath Talk Newspaper. Each month I feature those who live their life on the canals of England and it's always enjoyable and fascinating to write their stories.
Having previously lived afloat for a number of years myself, narrowboating as a way of life is endlessly appealing to me. And by writing about others, it allows me to keep my hand in on this unique lifestyle! So far I have featured roving traders, artists, signwriters, environmentalists, families in search of a simpler way of life... do visit my Characters of the Cut page to read their stories. You can also read a few articles about my own narrowboat life, here.

So glad Bx's story resonated. It's a lovely way of life... maybe a narrowboat could be second to a van?! Glad you enjoy these columns—there are so many rich characters on the cut! :-)

I hear you... I have a friend who could just never get on with being on my boats. Van life is a very good choice!!
