The majority of the information relates to peacetime, but additional reflections are given on the position of ocean trade in the...

ISBN: 9781908447876 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'Dreams Really Do Come True' is a light-hearted and sometimes serious collection of escapades that chart the journey to the fulfilment of Cherryl and Ian's dream. The dream? Not an original one by any means; to live on a narrowboat and explore the English canal system. Having champagne taste and beer money, a fully-fitted narrowboat was unaffordable. They had to draw on common sense and shear tenacity to turn the dream into reality when they bought a 'project boat' and fitted her out over a period of time - not without its ups and down.
