I've been editor of Towpath Talk since 2010, but that's not my whole story – as I say on Twitter, "I'm editor of Towpath Talk, would-be boater, but in reality fulltime working grandma and Rotarian".
I juggle being editor with being a proud grandmother. Every month I'm out covering stories across the networks and, over the years, I've been to many events such as Braunston Historic Boat Rally - which is possibly my favourite.
My first holidays afloat were in the 1950s when my parents hired a cabin cruiser. When I first began my role at Towpath Talk, it brought back memories for me of those holidays. I think the most positive change I've seen since I became editor is the progress made on restoration schemes around the network and the increase in awareness about the network following media coverage.
