At seventy-five, Terry and Monica Darlington had done everything
they could think of doing, including starting a business and
becoming athletes and running a literary society.Lately they had
become boating adventurers and Terry a bestselling writer. But in
their Midlands canal town in November, life was looking dull and
short on surprises. Then their famous canal boat was destroyed by
fire. Within a few days they had bought a new one and soon headed
north in the Phyllis May 2 - to Liverpool, Lancaster, the Pennines
and Wigan Pier. Terry recorded the journey, and alongside it the
story of his life and his marriage and his dog Jim, with his broken
ear like a flat cap, and Monica's dog Jess, known with
heartbreaking reason as the Flying Catastrophe. Funny, affecting
and beautifully told, this is a story that brims with incident and
excitement, and is full of the famous and fascinating people the
Darlingtons have met - a story of an adventurous life well lived.
