	‘A search for the soul of England? What planet was I living on? I might just as well have gone in search of a new design of wheelie bin. Or the perfect pork pie.’ When Steve Haywood hits 50, he is galvanised into action. Exploring the English canals on his trusty narrowboat Justice, and the countryside in his classic Triumph Herald, he attempts to delve into what it is that makes the English so, well, English. Happily mixing with the eccentric array of characters he meets along the way, Steve experiences more than his fair share of mayhem, mishaps and, of course, torrential rain. Interspersed with the fascinating story of Tom Rolt, whose own book Narrow Boat inspired the founding of the Inland Waterways Association, this funny and forthright tale is travel writing at its best. About the Author As a child of the 1960s who never thought he’d make his thirtieth birthday, let alone his fiftieth, Steve Haywood is still reeling from the implications of his own longevity. Did he really study under Malcolm Bradbury at the University of East Anglia all those years ago? And was it really him who afterwards became a journalist and spent so many years pretending to be a TV producer that they eventually gave him a Royal Television Society award just to get him out of the industry? Thankfully, other parts of his life need fewer question marks. Nowadays, even after taking drink, he can be fairly certain that he lives in Blackheath in London. And that he has a partner called Moira. He also has a vague recollection of having written one or two detective novels.
