oh mother of sweet divine jasus what a fecking day. so my brother came over to help me with the ropes for the barge for when I went down to get water and do a pump out and he brought my mam. that was great until I went the wrong way around the island and got 60ft if steel caught between the two banks and had to be rescued by my amazing neighbor. shout out to Richard who without it would of been swimming to shore. half a Christensen (kinda fell in just one leg) the other one is battered and bruised we managed to get her out and cruising again. I swear I feel like them ducks the ones where little feet are going 90 under the water that's the pace my heart ❤️ was going when I thought I was stranded wrapped around the island 🏝. lesson learned have patience to let them pass and then turn around 😅

My life has always been a continuous adventure. A friend said recently .gardens if I had said to you 6 years ago you would be splitting your time between Valencia and Ireland after buying an apartment and completely renovating it and living on a barge on the canal in Ireland would you have believed it.... No i don't think i would but then I always leave my mind and options open and I've found that's the best way to live my life because it has brought me so much happiness 😊.

🌸✨ Barge Life Making it Pretty✨🌸
There’s something so special about making a small space your own I've always done it no matter where I've lived I've always loved the small little touches.

This evening I planted flowers in my little buckets along the barge and honestly I fecking love them. A few pops of colour, a bit of greenery, and suddenly everything feels brighter, calmer, and more like my own place.

The plant pots also double as holders for my solar lights, which means when the sun goes down, the whole place has this soft, cosy glow and it means i can find it when it's dark lol.

There’s nothing better than sitting out in the evening, surrounded by flowers and twinkling lights, just soaking it all in. Not that I've got that far yet them evenings are still to come.

Living on a barge might be simple, but it’s these little touches that turn it into something really special I think it's deadly defo not for everyone but for me it's my oasis of calm. Me and my swan neighbors I just love it 😀 😍 💕

There’s something about soft lighting that completely transforms a space ✨

I’ve just added USB rechargeable wall lights to the barge and honestly… game changer. No wiring, no hassle just warm, cosy light exactly where it’s needed.

It’s made everything feel so much more homely, especially in the evenings when the water is calm and the lights reflect outside 🌊
Small changes really do make a big difference. Now it finally feels less like a boat… and more like home 🏡
