In all honesty , it feels like the whole of the UK is done for . I'd like to move abroad(even though ive never left the country before), but I know that only seeing my grandson once or twice a year , would absolutely kill me. My only real hope is to get as far away as I can , but still be within driving distance of the kids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cuzza 67 22 Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 Good luck mate in your new upcoming lifestyle I’ve Been living on the narrow boat 14 months now, I can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve made, it’s bloody great, and all the clutter has gone from my life, I’m in a marina in staffs so everything is on hand and plenty fields to roam all around, the peace and tranquility is fecking ace. I'm sure you’ll all adapt fine. but remember BOAT generally means Bring out another thousand lol all the best 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My old man has a narrowboat, he has a house but spends most of the time on the boat. He rents part of a farmers field and it's about an hour away from his house. There is only 4 boats there, 3 live a boards permanently and my dad's. He has parking for 2 cars and running water to each boat and a decent little plot of land. It's in the middle of no were and he only pays £25 A week rent, it's ideal ! No muzzies no migrants , no annoying neighbours. Wakes up the the sound of the ducks. Plenty of wildlife. Must admit I think if I retire or take early retirement it will be this. As I said before best of luck to your new venture DC atb. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
