fancy a dirty weekend? the travels of a navvies' cook by Anne Nichols

One woman's story of her life amongst a group of waterways restoration enthusiasts, known as navvies. Unsuited to the physical activities of navvying, she offered her catering skills to the group, travelling round the country in the back of a van, feeding anything from 6 to 1000 people at a time. It offers an insight into the world of the volunteer movement on the canal network as seen through the eyes of the woman who kept them very well fed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating stories and great recipes 13 Feb. 2013

By Angela Bowey - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle Edition

The author describes some hilarious experiences with a canal restoration "flying squad" of expert fixers on some of Britain's derelict canals. She also shares some great recipes from those days. A really good read.

Photographing a Templar... ?

My book of poems and photographs is almost complete... in fact I just need one more photo and it's done. The problem is that the photo I need is of a Knight Templar, and there are very few of them to be found in the 21st Century, so I'm having to apply some creative thought as to how to solve that problem!

A Butterfly Mind is a collection of my poems, accompanied by photos taken by me or my partner (BJ Morgan), and will be published shortly... when the Knight Templar photo issue has been resolved!

Fancy a dirty weekend? :)

No, it's not an invitation to an orgy! Dirty weekends involve navvies, canals and (usually) mud... lots of it! This is all about my new book -  it's the story of the years I spent travelling up and down the country in the back of a Transit van, with a team of mad navvies (volunteer canal restorers). I went along to cook for them, so it's stories from the camps I cooked on, along with some of the recipes I used.

If you like canals or cooking, and enjoy a giggle, then fancy a dirty weekend? is the book for you.

Join me as I cook my way round the waterways of England, feeding a horde of hungry navvies in some of the oddest kitchens you could imagine. Some have a cooker... some have two... but only bits of them work; some have heating... some don't... and it's minus 6 degrees outside! Pack your earplugs as everyone snores; someone sleepwalks... and the accommodation is next to a canal basin... lock the doors and hide the van keys! There's never a dull moment on canal camps, and the navvies themselves could never be described as dull!

fancy a dirty weekend? the travels of a navvies' cook, by Anne Nichols, is available from Amazon for Kindle. In the words of one reader, it's a "delightfully funny book" and "a thoroughly entertaining read" - why not give your chuckle muscles some exercise and join me in the navvies' kitchen?
