This time last year!!

Was just remembering that this time last year we were in Spain getting excited as our moving date was getting nearer. We had arranged our flight booked an overnight stay in a kennel for the dogs who would then be taken to the airport and put on the same flight as us. In the hold I might add not in the cabin. Our friend Steve had booked a van to pick us and the dogs up from Gatwick and a kennel was booked in England for a month so we could boat hunt.

So here we are now a year later settled into our life on board the dogs have adapted well from having a large garden and living outside to curling up in front of the fire. I must admit that now that it is Autumn I am enjoying it more as everywhere is so peaceful not so many people about just us hardy live aboards. Everyone seems to have more time for a chat and there isnt the urgency to get to a mooring by 2 oclock before they are all taken. Okay so we are still new to all this compared with most of the people we have met but we are still convinced we have done the right thing for us, and we dont miss Spain at all, miss our friends out there Spanish and English but not the sun or the country. It is so nice to have seasons to be back here when the leaves are falling yeah I know they are a pain as you have to keep sweeping them off the boat but this is what living in England is all about. The diversity of the seasons and the unpredictabilty of the weather. Good old England its nice to be back.
