Having had a long career in nursing and cared for a family and stepfamily, recently widowed and lonely, Alice had withdrawn to hide away in a sleepy Norfolk seaside village. However, hurtling towards 50, she was itching for adventure and when a charismatic man bounded into her world she rushed headlong into a new life with him. A woman, a narrowboat, a grumpy cat and a new relationship—what could possibly go wrong? In “Reflections from a Narrowboat”, Alice White muses on events extracted from the blogs she wrote while on her adventure. These memoirs offer a sometimes funny, sometimes moving and always interesting insight into the impressive strength of a woman when negotiating some of the challenges of narrowboating, nature, life, and relationships.
