Lovely post. I have to ask, what's it like living on a boat? Cool photo!
Living simply, with a lot less has always been my preference, steadfast on that. Over ten years in 366 square feet that fit just right. The only thing I'd change is to be off-grid, out in nature, something quite familiar to me, something I miss. So, I admire off-grid, goal of several years now, but the right fit is necessary.
Thank you for your kind feedback😊
Living on the canal on a narrowboat is awesome. It's like having a permanently flooded endless backyard with elegant swans, and other water birds that entertain you with their communication amongst each other.
It's a friendly community as the other boat dwellers are pleasant and helpful:)
I particularly like this lifestyle because I'm completely cut off from society (except Hive of course) and I only pop into towns occasionally and get a reminder of just how caught up the world is in consumerism and all. I enjoy living life at this slow pace at the moment.
I do hope that someday you get the chance to be closer in nature, but you already have the experience and the mindset of less is more, which is a great start.
Thanks for dropping by, have a nice day:)
I like it that there are other boat dwellers there, saw more than one boat lined up in the photo. Is it very remote where you are? I wonder that since you said you only pop into towns occasionally (heaven in my mind). Did you do a post showing what it's like living on a longboat that you could link me with? I always find these alternative ways of living fascinating. So many choices. I have not seen a longboat before. I'm so curious, lol.
Whatever is meant to be for me is where I walk, so just waiting on my intuition to give me the nod for the right direction.
My pleasure reading your post, you're welcome! 💖
Oh, yes! I have done a few specific posts about life on the canals. Here are a few of them. It's different everyday because we are continuous cruisers exploring over 2000 miles of the English waterways.
I hope you get an idea from these posts:)

Thanks very much @millycf1976! I'm going to enjoy reading these. So you get to cruise around on over 2000 miles of waterways. Okay, I love that even more being a total water person. Heavenly! 😄
You're very welcome! Yes, over 200 miles😁 and we can choose any idyllic spot we like to moor.
It's awesome:)
It must be awesome, I can imagine the freedom and peace.
Indeed! Every day😊🙏
