Life in the slow lane aboard Hirondelle


Hirondelle is the name of this narrowboat about to cast off on the Macclesfield Canal. The word is the French for "swallow". Owners Denise and Keith Wright and their watery home were featured in a fabulous article a few years ago in a 2010 edition of Cheshire Life magazine. There is a more luxurious version of a "barge" with the same name for hire in France.
