Rita. Brook, and others,

Am I right that there used to be an entire class of people--watergypsies, who lived on canal in UK like the caravans of gypsies do/did on land?  I thought someone mentioned these folks back when we were discussing homeschooling?

Dee, trying to remember, but tooo many posts!

  This spring (I *think* it was March) SMITHSONIAN magazine had a 
  pretty photo essay on narrowboats (the British canal boats) and the 
  people who have revived them. 

  One of whom (altho' not in the article) was at that time on an HP 
  e-mail-list. His boat's web site is www.grannybuttons.com
