‘Tis The Gypsy In My Soul

I've always loved boats. Many of you know that I once made a movie about narrow boats on the Grand Union Canal in the UK some years ago. That was a crisp frosty January and February. The morning sunrises, skies and iced landscapes are still clear in my mind.
The canals are beautiful and peaceful, a world of their own.

At the beginning of last week, I was travelling. I went to buy a boat, and eventually, I will sell my house and move country again.

This is the interior of my millroom where I live at the moment.

I will be a bit sad to leave this room but things have not been the same here since Covid.
Businesses are closing down, streets are still deserted. My friends no longer go out, so life changed here and it's time to move on.

A few weeks ago, I saw a boat and loved the interior. It was unusual and colorful. It was, however, sold, but I wasn’t informed, so I set off to see the boat.
When I arrived at my destination, I found that the boat was again on the market as the buyer could not raise the money.
The boat is 58 ft. It is fairly open plan, with a galley, a saloon, with an oven, fridge, and hob, a double bedroom, a dressing room, and a utility room with a washer and dryer.

There are four solar panels and the boat is all electric, and I will have a tv at the end of the bed. The engine may perplex me for a while. but I like the idea of rocking to sleep on the water, watching wildlife, and being able to travel waterways. Also I will put my stamp on the furnishings as I love white linens rather than patterned.

So, our theme is moving on, change and travel.
Post memes, music, gifs, trailers and chat to your friends here. Enjoy.
See ya soon, but I have to sort out a few things concerning the move.
