It’s Black Friday again. The nationwide day of shopping until you drop, literally in some cases.

Entertaining in a Tiny House

Narrow Boats for Holiday or Full Time Living

I mentioned recently in a Tiny House in a Landscape feature that I would be covering narrow boats in an upcoming post. I will show off a boat here that is for rent on the Avon Canal near Bath in the United Kingdom.
