Hail to the Hive!

We are now out of quarantine after flying in to the UK from the Philippines. 12 days we have been onboard ‘Badger’ our new home. There have been many things to adjust to and problems to overcome. The quarantine made getting problems solved very difficult indeed as we were to have no contact with people and not allowed to leave home, or the boat in this case. So somethings we managed tomfix others we found a work around so we could wait for the self isolation period to finish and then get it sorted.

Despite everything we have found the experience very rewarding and we haven’t even started to move around and be nomadic as yet. But that is to come very soon.

As small as our ‘Badger’ is it has a lot of character and charm. I find the boat very cosy and even though we are now having to think a bit more about space and interacting with each other in a small space this in itself has been a good thing. You must be more cooperative and considerate. Working together is a must, not an option.

When the weather was bad the other night I felt protected and safe and when the weather is good like today it’s a pleasure to be on the boat relaxing, on the deck with a beer or taking a stroll along the towpath. Its a pretty cool feeling to know we own our own home as unorthodox as it may be.

And the adventure has only just begun.

Stay safe out there people, wherever you may be on this planet of ours
