    Aye a narrowboat, we have a house which is rented out to our kids, when the market is better we shall sell and spilt the profits. The narrowboat is pretty shabby :):) She is 1970`s Harborough Marine, and is rather tatty, she is a work in progress... and it is a bloody long progress, and she eats money ... but we love her and it is a lovely life. We see a lot more of the wildlife than we did in a house, her name is Ubique.. Your dogs would love it, and then could talk all they wanted to we dont have many neighbours...

    I will stick with shaving !!!!
