Narrow boat life. Starting with choosing the boat, selling the house, moving onboard and moving the boat.

Basil - the meercat
Our Basil, just loves to look at reflections in a picture that we have hanging across from the window. In the reflections he can see the boat next door and see the comings and goings of all the dogs that live there.
I know he loves his life here, he's a completely different dog. More relaxed, better behaved and so much more loving - he's the best!!!
At a junction in our lives, we decided to step back but not opt out. Moving from the 'normal' day to day grind, mortgage and other millstones round our necks - to a new life and new venture. After the first few days, reality hits and questions are raised. Day to day life brings new challenges but definately no doubts.
New to Narrowboats - and so far so good!! But could be better!
Having reached the half way mark in life and the children have fled the nest, we found that lifes needs and wants and changed. We dramatically downsized to live on a nb. Hopefully this is a story of how we manage to adapt for a very comfortable middle-class (expensive)lifestyle to that of a pair of homeless river gypies.
