This edition charts the exploits of Pat and Sue Willan, who now retired plan to buy their very last floating home, which they hope to keep moored on the Thames. They have enlisted the help of a boat-maker in Stoke and opted for a 35-tonne, 55-foot state-of-the-art, all-mod-cons Dutch barge. They have a healthy budget of over £400,000 and elaborate plans for very contemporary kitchen fittings and gadgets and a powerful hydraulic engine.
