Here we are. It feels like the first day of the rest of our lives, though we know that sounds so trite! But this is the first time we have taken our floating home for a journey. When we travelled from Oxfordshire Narrowboats to Rugby, it was a speedy journey and there was still so much to do to make the inside a home. (Curtains, fixing cupboards, hanging pics, etc). Now we've lived aboard for three months, we've got all the domestics relatively sorted. It is now truly our home. And we have wanted to take it with us as we travelled to new places. And here we are. The first taste of that new way of life. And this is the view from the side hatch, or from the Duck Door, as our Blue Haven neighbour calls it. We'll be moored up back at the marina on Sunday night, we expect, but this is now. And its wonderful.
