Dream finally came true! It’s official, it was the first night of living on Foxglove permanently. Our house has a lovely family moving into it and our new life now begins
I looked across the horizon at the marina and it was just wonderful to think that this will be the base for our new home. I have finished work and I am so looking forward to actually living my life instead of just existing in the normal, stressful daily routine.
Wish is loving it already as she got to go out for 5 walks yesterday. Just being out in the open, the countryside being right there on your doorstep is just the most magical feeling ever.
Many times I have heard ” you have one life, make sure you live it” and that is what I intend to do.
The sun is out this morning and the hatches are open wide and the feeling of the outdoors being inside is wonderful. I am going sit down, make myself a cup of tea, read my book and relax. Just what I need 🙂

Congratulations and welcome to life afloat. I completely agree “you have one life, make sure you live it”. I have never regretted moving on to the cut. Have a wonderful weekend xxx
Hi Jo, Thank you so much.I don’t think I have met anyone who have regretted moving on. So many people I have spoken to this past few weeks who know someone who moved on to a boat and never looked back. I am loving it already and knowing I don’t have to go back to the stressful life I was having with my job I can really start to enjoy this life more.Love to you both xx
Wow – Congrats to you both for ‘just doing it!’ I’m sure it will have it’s challenges though, as we have found, the positives certainly feed the spirit. Enjoy! Kind regards Anton
Hi Anton & Christine, I love the comment “the positives feed the spirit”…..what a wonderful expression!Already I can feel the benefits.xxx
Good for you! Hope life aboard is everything you hope for. We’ll be back in the marina beginning December. We should catch up for a cuppa this time.
