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

The new mat
How sad is this, I loved this mat so much I took a picture of it. Problem is - I put it outside on the pontoon while I was cleaning my beloved wooden floor and the rotten wind blew it away.
Its at the bottom of the marina together with a folding chair, fishing keep net, clothes airer and a pair of sunglasses.

Hi Helen/John, I found your blog by chance, and have really enjoyed reading it. I was nearly moved to tears by the frustrations of your early days, glad to see that you now have solved those problems. I do hope you will start blogging again soon. Sue
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.
