In their seventies Terry and Monica Darlington travelled widely in their narrowboat Phyllis May, in England, France and the USA. Terry wrote books about their adventures. Monica acted as his manager and Jim and Jess acted as their dogs.
Terry
Darlington
Terry
was brought up during the war between an oil terminal and a flying boat base.
He survived and went to Oxford, where he passed unnoticed.
In
Stone Staffordshire he founded Research Associates, the research firm, and Stone
Master Marathoners, the running club.
Like
many Welshmen, Terry is talkative and confiding, ill at ease with practical
matters, and known to linger in public houses.
He likes boating but isn’t very good at it.
Narrow
Dog to Carcassonne,
Narrow Dog to Indian River, and Narrow Dog to Wigan Pier have together
sold more than a quarter of a million copies.
Monica Darlington
Monica’s
father was a gardener and her mother a housemaid, or perhaps it was the other
way round.
She
was Beauty queen of Brecon and Radnorshire, has a first class degree, has run
thirty marathons, and leaps tall buildings with a single bound.
Her
three children have all reproduced themselves, suggesting that she and Terry are
the same species.
She
quite likes boating but knows little about it.
Jess
Jess
is a rescue bitch that may be a whippet.
She is more affectionate than Jim,
but just as cowardly and thieving.
She
really really hates boating.
