The last week on the Becky

As of tomorrow the Tramp and I will be spending our last week on the Becky before handing the care of the old girl to Kate her knew owner . 
Doing my best to keep her all spruced up but already she's beginning to look a bit bare and forlorn as I move all my books and bits off. I'm  sure Kate will soon have her looking pretty and loved in no time.
Am I sad, yes of course the Becky has been my home for 14 years but its time to move on. It's time for a new adventure, at 72 perhaps my last, I hope to get a smallish narrow boat and spend a few years pottering about on the canals. 
I've seen a lot of the rest of the world but very little of my own country so think its about time I did.
