With the pending departure and preparations well under way, the pressure is on to ensure that this blog is a document of our journey. Concerning for me is the number of people who have asked for deatils of this blogwhich really does mean that I need to I keep this blog updated and interesting (I hope).
So as I have finally given away this blog address to people I figured that some background about our trip may be of interest.
I have lived on a canal boat with my Husband Scott and cat Matilda for a number of months now. We have learnt loads about living on the waterways from tying knots to driving the boat, from cooking in a smaller kitchen to lighting the fire, from using a launderette to learning to live with less ironing. We are aware of the amount of electricity we use and are careful of our water usage. It has been a wonderful journey of learning a whole range of new skills.
Next week, we are leaving the safety of the marina where we have electricity and water on tap to venture out on the open waters. Yes, we have been on holiday and weekends away, but this is it, no coming back to the familiar sounding of the marina. We are leaving our old lives for a year long adventure.
The plan for the next few days is a mixture of seeing friends and getting things ready to leave next week.. (gulp)
