Hi,
My name is Peggy. I am a writer, blogger, virtual assistant, narrowboater, mother, poet and e-course creator.
After 13 years of living on a narrowboat I am now living in a cottage in Devon. Read more about that decision: A new direction.
This blog is a three year archive packed with real life stories about my time spent living on a narrowboat with my husband and two young daughters.
You could either dive in and read a random article, or grab yourself one of these free e-books to find out more about narrowboat life.
You can contact me through my professional website or find me on Twitter @Boat_Wife and Facebook.

About The Blog
The blog is Star's idea. She sent me a text in the summer of 2010 saying 'I'm just reading 'Agent Pegworth - Licensed to Cruise'. Why don't you write poetry anymore?'
I replied,
'Because I'm writing my memoir The Real Life of a Narrowboat Wife!'
She wrote,
'That's brilliant! You should start a blog called that - you might get a book deal, like that chick Wife in the North!'
I was about to retort with how unlikely it is that I could become one of these 'blogs to riches' stories whilst also being a hypnotic-motherin-multi-tasking maniac, but then I stopped myself. After all, you've got to be in it to win it. So here it is. My Real Life. On the inter-web. For all to see.
If you like it please subscribe to the Narrowboat Wife Newsletter. You probably won't find another blog like it. My readers have described me as constant, addictive, intrinsic, perceptive, lyrical, tranquil and super! (comments on this post).
