February 2019
We’ve been on Narrowboat Hang Loose for 3 weeks now – you can read about our Maiden Voyage here. It is just amazing – it’s everything we dreamed of – and more.
Had a lovely walk today – I used to blog about each of our walks but we go on that many now, I can’t possibly blog about each one!!




Had a lovely chilled day – washed the boat – sat and had a beer by the lock – we really are living the dream!
Had a lovely meal at The Malt in Aston-on-Trent, the pub is dog friendly, and the food is fab. I had a rack of ribs with cheese and beer croquettes and Paul had a curry. We highly recommend this pub – if you are cruising along the Trent & Mersey and you moor up anywhere near Aston – go – it’s definitely worth a walk up to the village.

I went for a little run – I’m really trying to get back into it as I have not been running much due to bit of a dodgy hip – but I won’t bore you with that. Anyway I managed 2.5 miles, it was a glorious sunny morning and I really enjoyed it. Had another 2.5 mile run a couple of days later!

We are big lovers of the U Tube vloggers and I have found another one – The Well Deck Diaries – found this via a FB group and we’re really enjoying it – if you like all the Boat vloggers then add this one to your list.
The weather has been amazing
We’ve had some really cold frosty mornings

And then we’ve had the hottest February day on record – so of course, we had to have a BBQ


We’ve had a lovely day – had some friends come and see Hang Loose and had a lovely sunny walk.



Chan, Ross and Winston came to visit – lovely evening chatting and having a few beers.



We are so happy – this is absolutely everything we have dreamed of for so long and we are enjoying every single minute.
Wow, what a nice are and spring time around already! BBQ time for sure, can’t wait till spring comes to my corner. Would love taking a trip in those boats!!! What a life!
You should do it if you get the chance – it’s so relaxing – we are loving living our dream x
You are living the perfect dream life. Loved to be living in the wild. Keep posting amazing beautiful sunrise and sunset pics dear.
Thank you – we are loving every minute – sometimes I take far too many photos!!
Wow, that looks great! I love the photo of the frosty morning. It’s great when you can live your dream, and you all look so happy and contented. That’s the way to really live, isn’t it? Visiting from Blogging for New Bloggers. 🙂
Thanks it really is amazing – we are very happy and contented – we have to keep pinching ourselves – we are so lucky ❤️
Woow, such beautiful pictures. I am glad that you are enjoying your life. I love your blog and your awesome content. Thank you so much for sharing this. I have to say again, I love the pictures 😀
Wow Feb BBQ, you’ve beaten us, we usually get ours out at the first opportunity but I the we missed the boat this time.
Glad you’re both enjoying life

We had a rite nice pint with it too ?
Those are stunning photos! The sunrise and the swans look like a painting. You’re definitely living a good life.
Thank you so much – life is good ?
Wow, this looks great. I’ve always thought of what live would be like living on a canal boat (suh as a narrow boat). This looks so picteresque. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you – there will hopefully be more regular posts about it now that we are starting to cruise more ? xx
