Alison’s expressive and elegant style of writing reached out and took me by the hand, inviting me aboard the decks of Lily to explore historical villages and countryside throughout England, Europe and Ireland.
For me personally, as a cruising sailor along the East Coast of Australia, our worlds upon the water offer us vastly different sights and experiences. I was completely swept up in the beauty and romance of Europe and felt I was there with Alison and her family among the fields and flowers, gliding along historical waterways, aqueducts and ancient locks systems.
