  • People who live in a boat on the canal are also business owners. I went to see a floating market on the Trent and Mersey Canal at Shobnall playing fields. It looks like a lovely life to chug up and down the canal network, selling your wares as you go. I chatted, and bought some lovely cheeses, and a flowery crotchet hand made hat. What a lovely atmosphere.

    Thank you Ilona for the beautiful walk…..the narrowboats and owners are so creative in how they show their wares and how someone can live and work in such a small space. 🌴🇺🇸

      I think you have to be creative in downsizing to live on a boat. We don't need half the stuff we think we need.

    Meanqueen Thank You for taking us a long your walk, travels. So nice seeing the different boats and their goodies. I spied a orange plastic swan or goose. on one of the boats for sale. The only thing with those is you do have to watch your pockets emptying fast! Great Video Thumbs Up

      I parked up at the Showground at Lincoln. There won't be a video for that visit to Truckfest. It was far too busy. Pics on the blog if you want to see the trucks.

    Looks lovely there Ilona , I’m fascinated by narrow boat living .
    I found a channel called Primal England. The guy is Nigel , I don’t usually recommend other channels but something made me think that you would like it .
    Really enjoyed this one Ilona 👍looks so interesting there , happy camping

    Thanks for the video. I wonder if the boat life is similar to the RV life?
