My boyfriend has suddenly discovered a deep love and affection for canals (this is not a spelling mistake) and narrow boats and as it’s his birthday soon I was wondering about hiring a narrow boat on Regent’s Canal or the Lea Navigation (I think this is the one that goes near Stamford Hill/Stokey towards...

After staring drunkenly at the river through the bottom of a pint of lager whilst wondering how to get home from the south bank to Putney, I was struck by London’s lack of water taxis, I know that there are meant to be a couple around here and there which you can catch if your father’s father was a water...

I’m sorry – but I just had to rant. One of my ‘friends’ on Facebook (i’m quitting tomorrow, honest) has just uploaded and album with 27 pictures of boats, all taken from a distance, all basically the same. Just sails in the water. Nothing else. No nice lighting, cool wind effects, bikin...

So fabulous things have happened of late and it seems I am leaving this fair city to move to the South of France and live within skiiing and surfing distance of both mountains and beach.

Most of my family are descending on me this weekend – arrggh!
