OK.. Well… We’re a couple of baby-boomers who have decided we want out of the rat-race and have bought a narrowboat to live on.
Biography!
We have been married since 1972 (that’s nearly 40 years – wow!)
and are both committed Christians and belong to Heyford Park Chapel.
Chris is a Moonraker (in other words, he originally comes from Wiltshire) and Joy is an Essex Girl.
We have two children, Karen & Jeremy, who have both ‘flown the nest’
Karen is married to Mike and lives in Sydney and have a son Joel and a daughter, Summer.
Jeremy is married to Sadie, they live in Dursley and have a son, Morley and a daughter, Iona
Personal Interests
We are Grecophiles having spent several years holidaying in the Greek Islands, their favourite island is Skiathos in the Sporades Group and now feel visiting there is a bit like ‘going home’.
Chris occasionally attempts to play guitar & chromatic harmonica.
Joy is something of a jigsaw puzzle fanatic and loves challenging ones, double sided, 3D effects or anything difficult!
Yam from Dudley? *
Because of the name of our boat we sometimes get asked if we’re from Dudley because of the Black Country’s Wren’s Nest National Nature Reserve although it does have boating connections because there are limestone quarries and caverns, some going down 100 metres below the hill to underground canal basins.
