The Pen Maker's Boat

Welcome to my pen turning Facebook page. Debbie and I have lived aboard our Narrowboat Lois Jane since the early, and rather chilly, spring of 2012. We have cruised much of the connected inland waterways of the UK but still have loads to go!

We have always known that our 'gap year' wouldn't be perpetually self financing so we have successfully applied to the Canal and River Trust for a license to become Roving Canal Traders. This is the blog (http://thepenmakersboat.blogspot.co.uk/) of our fairly mobile workshop outlet and home, trading from the canal side as we cruise the rest, and revisit some of our favourite, parts of the UK's connected canals and rivers.

Whilst the intention is to mainly make and sell pens from the canal side, if you have trundled into this page and find something that you would like to buy just add a comment to the items blog page and we'll be in touch (postage will only ever be at cost price - even if we've got to hike across fields to find a post office!). Thanks for reading.
