How kind of you to reply. Those narrowboat years were our "Halcyon" years together as we only had 10 years before she was stolen from me by cancer. Everytime I see a canal my heart leaps with all those wonderful memories. Michael.
There's nothing I like better than having a nosy peek around another boat. Thanks so much. We are especially impressed with the organization in the engine room! She looks wonderful - and doesn't show her age at all! We were sure she was a much newer boat.

Hi Scott, it’s a lovely way of life, off grid, no ties to anywhere, no deadlines to keep and we can choose where to be. It’s not all sunshine and roses mind, you do have to work at things and can be a bit challenging at times, but we love all aspects of BoatLife. If you serious about thinking of doing this, can we suggest you take a short vacation over here, and hire a narrowboat for a week or two, that way you’ll know as soon as you set foot on the boat if it’s something you really want to do. It’s not for everyone, so always best to have a go first, but I’m sure you’d love it! Thanks Scott! xx

What a great tour and more's the point the amount of thought into how things work and get stored is truly fantastic. Anyone could be forgiven for thinking you have been living on boats all your lives with this the culmination of your experiences put into practical design. If we even do manage our dream of returning to UK and living on a narrow boat (I've been working in S E Asia for over 35 years, my wife has never lived in UK. Our adult son lives permanently in UK.) we would love to be able to talk to you both about how you make your boat work for you. The storage and how you have made spaces other people would ignore but for you they are pressed into service. So inspirational. I've sketched and planned out a number of design ideas for how we would want a boat and of course we are different people, so there are some differences, such as we like the idea of a cruiser stern and reverse layout but there are still some major similarities within each part of the boat. There are so many questions to ask about how you managed to get everything so well sorted.

Blakemere is a lovely place for mooring & we also like being near Colemere for the dogs. I’m a massive Elvis fan as well, we went to Memphis in 2007 & we stayed at the old Heartbreak Hotel before the new one superseded it, from what I’ve seen online I like the old hotel much more than the new one.

Aww thank you so much Joyce, that’s lovely of you to say! Really hope you do get your dream of a year on a narrowboat, you’d love it xx
Beautiful boat.
