Everyone reaches a crossroads in life when one feels in need of a change of direction. We reached such a crossroads and so we have decided to have a Narrowboat built, downsizing our home to finance it. We've made the first step by moving home and all being well the build will start in the next few weeks! Here is our journey towards the dream.
