Welcome to Nick and Diane's Diary 

Join us on our travels through the European waterways aboard our Barge Fleurie (Please make sure you view these pages full screen)

 

 

 

INTRODUCTION 

 

 Fleurie has been our “retirement” project. When we are not on our boat we live in a lovely thatched cottage in Dorset.We hope this site will  keep family and friends updated on our travels through the waterways of Europe. Those people who have similar interests to ourselves may also find it useful: 

Having previously fitted out and cruised the UK waterways in our Narrowboat the “Mckenzie Rose” we decided that a wide beam boat would  be comfortable with perfect dimensions for European Waterways.   In 2006 we commissioned Ledgard Bridge at Mirfield in Yorkshire to build our hull, the final fit is being completed by ourselves.
