Troubled Waters

Margaret Cornish


I read this while on a canal holiday. During the last war women called "trainees" worked on the canals transporting coal. They worked really hard in terrible conditions but the author loved it. After the war she bought a boat and lived on it until her old age. Leighton Buzzard gets a mention as a lady used to offer the trainees her bathroom.
