RE: Canal Life during the Autumn/Winter

Yeah, I love seeing fallen leaves in the park, not on my boat! 😅
When I just moved to the location, I was freaked out when the first few leaves fell on the boat, but I've gotten used to hearing the little taps now. It's an indication of just how quiet it can be sometimes, and it's a lovely location that I'm lucky to have on this arrangement.
I know things will be different when the seasons change.

I picture the inside of the boat is very cozy and warm on a cold night.

That's so right. I've been wearing summer clothes inside the boat the last few weeks😁
