Hello and welcome to “Making New Memories.”

Tony and Jan

We are Tony and Jan. We’ve sold our home, cleared out all the junk we’ve accumulated, said “goodbye” to our jobs and bought a narrowboat which we’re now living on – we’re defiantly living an alternative lisfestyle!

We started cruising the inland waterways of the England and Wales from April 2021, although we bought our boat in January 2021 – lockdown meant we were stuck in a marina. But, that forced stop meant we not only met some lovely people, it meant we could get a few things done on the boat before we went off cruising.

Who said your too old to start something new?

Stay with us, check back regularly and follow our journey. There’s sure to be some ups and downs, although we hope more ups than downs!

We will post here all our updates. Individual pages can be found at the top of this page and it’s here that you will find things like our videos, boating logs, pictures and other pages.

We’re on social media and links to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram can be found at the top of the page and don’t forget our vlogs on YouTube – we would love you to subscribe to our channel (it’s free!) so you can follow our journey.

If you want to help support us as we take this “leap”, you can become a “Patron” – Check out the link below:-

If you’re looking to take home your own memories, why not take a look at our online store which contains a unique selection of gifts for you, or a boating friend.

We look forward to welcoming you onboard.
