Some weeks we find a boat that would be suitable for our purposes and some weeks we find a boat that we'd really love to buy! We have no idea whether when the time comes, the boats for sale at the time will include an exciting one or just something we can live with.
This boat is for sale with Great Haywood and it's a name I quite like : nb Dreamweaver. I think it's a name that suits us after being "narrowboat dreamers" for so long.
I really like this one.

Hello Elly and Mick, just left a comment about your blog on 8April asking if there were any other Aussies out there who were in the process of buying a canalboat in UK. We are Jennifer and Peter in Tassie and are just in the process of finalising our buying a secondhand 55'.
Hi Jennifer & Peter,
Fantastic to hear of more Aussies on their way to the UK. We'd love to hear all about your plans.
Leave a comment with your email address (I won't publish it if you'd rather not) so we can keep in touch.
Elly
Hi Elly
Keep us in the loop, we can all have a little get together..
My brother has sent me all the Caxton manuals, plus the survey report so we have plenty of bedside reading!
