Boating… Specifically Narrowboats…
is something they have more than a passing interest in.
(Not Barges or Longboats please)
Chris blames his Aunt Bet who used to take him for walks beside the Caen Hill flight of locks, on the Kennet & Avon Canal near Devizes when he was 3 or 4 years old, but in the slightly more recent past Joy & him enjoy canal holidays and day trips.
The plan is to sell their house buy a narrowboat and become 'Liveaboards' to enable them to realise a more relaxed and simple lifestyle and looking ahead to retirement it will give them the opportunity to explore the country by 'cruising the system' (the canal system, that is!) but initially they intend to get a mooring fairly locally on the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal so they can continue their current jobs and continue to develop Chris' Auto-Electrical work into Boat-Electrics too. Could bring a whole new meaning to 'working from home'!
Watch this space for developments.
