Person
Janul grew up in the Black Country, living in Quarry Bank, UK and grew
up surrounded by derelict canals. Much has changed.
Writing from the age of 12, including songs, poetry, and shows, Janul had no idea where the tales would lead and had to wait a long time for her canal experiences to fill the gaps.
After suffering the day job for most of her life and by now living full
time on the canal, Janul escaped the rat race and took her place on the
UK canals, working on and owning a variety of boats, which indulged
her lifelong passion.
Janul can be seen with her boats, Storm, The Crimson Pirate, BCN 108
and occasionally, with the truly, unruly Constance.
