Well carry on doing what we are doing for a while, had lots of short trips on the boat, interspersed with the caravan. With lots of veg and fruit ripening we can't be away from home for too long, so the canals out east of us are ideal, nipping back and forth on the train when strikes allow, otherwise car and Brompton shuttle. Daughter is thinking of selling her eriba caravan, a bit longer but no heavier than the Freedom plastic snail, we'll borrow it for a few days as a try out. It has a better heater, hot water, 2 double beds, we could leave one made up for our afternoon naps. The pop top makes the eriba more efficient to tow too, not protruding much above the car.

We've got decorators coming in at the end of next month so Jane's busy picking paint and wallpaper.
Hall, stairs and landing and kitchen/dining room.
So it seems other folks don't make plans, or don't want to share.
Or is it just me that is a worrier ?

Ali and me drifted to this point. Started our business 30 odd years ago on a whim. Sold it 2015 because we fancied doing something else, though didn’t know what that was. Brought our first boat 15 years ago while out looking for a new bike. Only sort of long term plan we had was to go live in France when we retired, but Brexit ended that. We expect(hope) to spend our time doing what we do now for the next few years. Change will come when our bodies tell us it must.

All I know, is that I'll be on the boat as long as health/finances/boat hold out. No other options so have to hope for the best. Once it all goes wrong hopefully there will be some help available but if not I'll survive for a short while.
