This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Elizabeth Earle, 34, about her experience living on a 70-foot narrowboat from the 1920s in the English countryside since April 2022. Earle is an author and illustrator from Warwickshire, England. The conversation has been edited for length and clarity.

A big expense will be your canal and river trust license, which for me is £650 every six months. On top of that I pay £350 quarterly for my diesel. I have diesel to run my engine and that tops off my batteries. And on top of that is coal for the fireplace. A bag of coal for me is about £8 a bag, and it lasts me two and a half days.
i am a pigmy and live in a tree,, best life lessons..

I’ve often wondered how that would be …
It would be fun to live in a barge on the canal.
