RE: #kiss | Off Grid Living - is it (possible) for the ordinary person in England?

in The MINIMALIST2 years ago (edited)

I am loving the responses to your post @shanibeer.
This is exactly what I had hoped for and more.
Off-grid living certainly suits my personality and all, but the question of self-sustainablity quashes the idea of it being realistic and achievable in many countries, including the UK.

Sort:  

So glad you are enjoying it 😍.
I think off grid living is possible if you have some money behind you (or can get money), and being on a boat is one of the ways you can do that. I especially like how you can move around on a boat, too.

That's very true with the boat. However, I wish there were more feasible opportunities in the UK.
I'm back in Leicester, but only here for a fairly short time because we can only moor up at Castle Gardens and Friars Mill for 2 nights at each place. I wish I had more time to explore more areas though:)

Funny you can be so close to the City Centre! You'll gradually see everything over time 😍

Yeah, it's amazing. Boaters have a key to the park at Castle Gardens.
I would love to sit and look at the stars at night, but you have drunkies and rascals. That's one of the reasons why one of us tends to stay on the boat. Just last week we heard that some drunks or kids were throwing stones at a narrowboat over the fence of Castle Gardens in the night time. It can be scary for older boaters especially. Apparently the police came though.
