Moving house!

OK, this is the news I've been wanting to share! I'm moving house! The great thing about living on a boat is that moving house is a very simple business. There is a brand new marina opening up in Brinklow, just 8 minutes from my school and right out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but beautiful countryside all round and fields of sheep. It's based on the North Oxford canal and is going to be a very prestigious and sought after marina. I met Adrian, the owner, this morning and had a great chat and got on well. The marina is due to be in water this weekend sometime and I plan to move the boat down there after the Christmas and new year around about the 4-6th of January 2007 so watch this space. The great thing about Brinklow marina is that it is going to be strictly non-residential and cater as a high class, prestigious holiday base. I have managed to get in as one of only 10 residential boats to act as security and caretaker moorings.

Went and told the Trinity marina staff today that I was leaving and the only comments I received was, "We'll need it in writing" and "well, that's your choice innit". A pleasant parting for one of their first boats to support Trinity but extremely indicative of the lack of business sense and personal skills that is the cause of Trinity ending up as it is!

Well this last week of school is hectic with Christmas shows, parties, lunches and then the travel back down to London on Friday evening. The next blog update will be from London and then hopefully, Brinklow!
