RE: My First Autumn On A Narrowboat, UK Canals: Stock Images

in Stock Images3 years ago

That's an epic post! You must be very aware of the changing seasons as you cruise around and spend a lot of time outside. I'm more of an indoors type, but I can see some appeal in that life. Are numbers of boats increasing? I would think more people have had time to think about alternative lifestyles recently.

Happy cruising!

Thank you very much 😊
Yes, indeed! There's a boom in the narrowboating industry, as more people are not only finding alternative ways to live in a self-sustainable way, but also an increase in domestic tourism.

We got onto the narrowboat scene just as England was coming out of partial lockdown in March, and there's been a hike in the prices of narrowboats since.

I've never been an indoor person, but my coping mechanism to do so has improved. In the past, two days without spending time outside was the maximum I could do without feeling like I was losing my sanity 😅

Living on the canals, we get to see and experience the best of Britain, and remind ourselves just how beautiful an island England is :)

Thanks for stopping by!
