Vagabonding: The act of leaving behind the orderly world to travel independently for an extended period of time and a deliberate way of living that makes freedom to travel possible.
Hi Jo, having had several boats ourselves I think this is a wonderful idea! I retired just as you and Jonno started your adventures and have followed you all the way, lots of luck in your floating home and if you’re ever in Maidstone let us know and we’ll have a MKC meet up xxxx
That’s a whole new adventure. Gotta have a project – and that certainly looks like a project. Cant wait to see the inside, and looking forward to a succession of before and after shots. I suspect she’s going to be a work in progress for several years to come.
Oh I was hoping it would be! I might have spotted you on one of my canal side wanders! Have to say I see some boats on my walks that would be kindly described as potential projects.
Now THAT sounds like an excellent idea. I’m envious.

We would like to give that a go but this is a step too far for us. Bit of a wind-up I’m afraid.

Hopefully not. It appears to be surrounded by toothpaste 🙂 xx

A toothpaste home sounds very unpleasant Lydia. Not for us .

Slightly more than a bit of TLC Maggie. We’d love to have a go at this but I’m afraid it’s a bit of a wind up.

I used to follow a blog of a couple who renovated a barge to live on the UK. It was fascinating to follow. So when is the big unveil?

It’d be an amazing life I think but a whole load of work. Not sure when or if the reveal will be .

Ha it was sinking and surrounded by what looked like toothpaste. Can’t imagine it’s going to survive a lot longer. Not for us.

Love those canal walks. We’ve walked quite a lot of the Kennet and Avon now, love Caen Locks especially.
