We stayed in our old neighbourhood for two weeks but the time was up, we had to move. Luckily the next stop was in De Beauvoir Town, this is where my friends have their upholstery workshop. And it’s still in Hackney, we didn’t have to leave ‘my beloved’ borough just yet. It was a short cruise and De Beauvoir Town was one of Antonios’ favourite mooring. Our friend, who stayed on the boat prior us moving in permanently, came along.
