Karl and his teen daughter continuously cruise on the Grand Union. He trades in crystals & fossils.
Here we discuss what it's like to live on a narrowboat when you're 13 and the challenges of getting to school without the luxury of a home mooring. We also explore what can happen when you attempt to move someone else's boat a few feet in order to make enough space for your own. It might be acceptable in London but what about elsewhere??? (spoiler alert: I tried to do this today and it didn't work out too well).
