Jan 30. - Half way there.
It's been three months since I moved aboard.
Half the time I gave myself to figure out if life on board suits me. I know the answer already..
She's SO Small.
It's everyone's initial reaction; its a truth.
In my three months I have seen people living on smaller and less well planned boats.
I've seen bigger boats too without half of what Miracle has in storage or facilities.
Those that know boats and have seen the liveaboards that float on London's canals all agree, Miracle is small but she's also the most effecient use of space most have ever seen. She's tidy. Her interior is all the original wood and has that mature golden patina, he cuboards are understated and simple her lines are clean. She's too small for the intricate and sometimes twee woodwork found on other canal boats. In short she's timeless.
They say a place can feel like home. Miracle does.
