We have not blogged much recently because we have been very busy changing several things on the home front. We have a four bedroom house at the minute which has more space than we need and a garden which would still need tending while we are away. We see the house as a bit of a tie really, so we are going to put it up for sale shortly. In the meantime we have bought a two bedroom apartment just two streets away from the house and we have moved into it.  It is a lovely apartment which we decorated before we moved in, hence the reason that we have been too busy to do much boating and blogging. The apartment is on the middle floor of a three storey building and has Juliet balconies in both the lounge and the main bedroom making it lovely and bright. It is right by the canal too, so another plus.
