I have been photographing some of my paintings and one of my favourites is this watercolour. These commercial narrowboats are at Uxbridge on the Grand Union Canal. Arthur and Rose Bray lived on board from the time of building in 1958 until 1970. It was said that Mrs Bray never, ever went ashore ! They were usually engaged in transporting coal to a jam factory in Southall and I would meet them frequently when I had a canal boat.
