Synopsis

Late in 1987 Jenny and David Parkin opted out of the rat-race to discover a gentler life-style - a 'life in the slow lane'. The new life was to be a travelling picture gallery and tea-room aboard a converted narrowboat on some of the canals of England.Here At The Weekend tells the story of their canal years - of finding and refitting the boat; of journeying amid scenes of quiet beauty; of meeting some marvellous people; and of the canals themselves, an enduring part of England's industrial heritage.
