I don’t live in it. Although I also know many who do.
My brother and I use it to travel the network for leisure. We are both retired due to health and vision. So we each take it for a few weeks. Moving around the nation. Then get bk us or train to swap over. While the other spends time at home.

That sounds like a great way of doing it :) I’ve seen some lovely stretches of canal. Do you ever make it over East Anglia?

Not yet. We have only been doing 2 years. And are now staying in Oxford over this summer and next while we redo the interia of the boat.
The flooring is the 1976 original so is starting to have issues with damp.
We also plan to build all the furniture so it can easily be moved to check the bilge etc.
Basically on the way back from Wales last summer we had to stop and get some of the hull over plated.
