Thank you for your comments I've replied to some.
No we don't have a washing line on the roof, neither of us is nimble enough to get up there. We do have a whirly washing line that fits on the tiller but we had so many people fall off their bikes or nearly step into the canal that we rarely use it.
Caroline, it was lovely to see you and meet your husband.
Lincolnshire exile, thank you I've been looking at the link, lots of interesting things.
Rambler I'd recommend Robbie Cummings narrow boat blog, and Weir on the Move as these show a fairly realistic view of life on a boat.
Ellen yes we do have some favourite mooring spots, in particular on the offside (not the tow path side) at Widmead lock and Midgham lock. Both are very peaceful. Where we are now is great for shopping, the wardrobe is now rammed with this and dry goods and the fridge and freezer are both well stocked. It's very noisy here as the supermarket is constantly being restocked and we are only a few feet from the lorry entrance. Fortunately we take our hearing aids out overnight.

The pros and cons of living on the canal, I guess!
It must be awful to have noisy neighbours. I have a sparrow that is nesting right outside our bedroom window. It used to wake me up every morning at 05.30. Out with the hearing aids and problem solved, Considering its size that little bird is amazing. It keeps singing all day. If your son manages to keep in contact please do let us know how he is getting on.
