Beck free-birthed Willow on her boat in July 2022, when the temperature hit 43°C. She laboured for 24 hours unassisted, with just one very close friend supporting her.

Since then they have journeyed from a quiet mooring in the Midlands to cruising the River Thames, and back again on the cut.

Beck runs her own ancestral organic skincare brand: @roamandwood (follow on Instagram).
