Hello @coquicoin,
I think you're right about both worlds. Would you believe it though, I feel safer in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes in the middle of the night in the rural area, I like to pop outside (when it's warm, of course). The stillness of the night in nature is just soothing. I need to watch my habits though.😅
I totally get the fascination that people have.
We had wanted to live on one of these narrowboats for over a decade now.
Three years ago I came back to the UK on holiday, and every day I stopped by that same bridge just looking at the boats wondering if I could really survive in that narrow small space. Never did I think we would have ended up in one this tiny, but it feels just fine.
Haha! For you, yes! I use my judgement well as to which strangers I might entertain...just not groups of lads who fancy themselves as "bad boys" 🤣
PS. It's normal for boaters to invite other boaters in for a boat tour. We are amazed when we go into some of them.
Happy weekend to you too:)
I can understand the feeling of being safer in the middle of nowhere. It's the same for me here in the mountains when we visit my family's little cabin in the middle of nowhere. It is so nice going out in the dark alone to gaze at the stars. It gives a feeling of freedom.
And of course, I understand sending those 'bad boys' for a ride 🤣🤣.
It must be an interesting and challenging experience to live on a narrowboat. But with time and years, I think some of us learn that we can live with little and that it's the experiences that really count.
Have a nice evening!🤗
