We will just have a look!

Viewing “The Priory” at Herons Rest Mar

For a while we had been looking for a piece of land to park BoobyDo! and possibly building a tiny house. The more we looked, the greater the reality that it was outside our budget and also that we could spend the rest of our days potentially arguing with planners.

Back in 2016-2017 we had thought about a narrowboat. WE had gone to Crick boat show and viewed quite a few. However, when Rachel was given the all clear from her primary breast cancer diagnosis we wanted to travel further afield so the idea of the narrowboat was put on the back burner. But following a lovely weekend in Bradford upon Avon and a stroll down the canal tow path we both admitted to one another that the idea still appealed to us. Especially as Rachel’s cancer has returned, now being stage 4 it means she will have to continue on treatment indefinitely.

So we then looked at narrowboat adverts and plot of land in equal measure. Rachel found one on the Monmouthshire & Brecon canal, an hour up the road from where we were helping our friends set up a campsite. What’s the harm in just having a look? After all it had 6’6” head room, a walk through bathroom…..

Our friends Paul & Marilyn were with us and we viewed the boat on April Fools day before 12.00!!! Yes, you guessed it - We fell in love with it. Put in an expression to buy subject to survey that morning.
