Back in the country of my birth, tourists and retirees are terribly fond of travelling around the countryside on slow moving and super slim narrow boats — many of them seeing it as the perfect way to either relax and take in the views or while away one’s twilight years.
Yet in space-restricted Tokyo, at least one resident has taken this cramped is convenient approach off the water and onto the land — at least what little there is of it — and crafted it into a cosy, although admittedly somewhat cramped, roadside retreat.
A house that whilst not allowing much in the way of movement at the front, does spread out a bit at the back, creating just about enough space to swing the proverbial cat.
Albeit in a somewhat cautious manner.

Hey the pic with the narrow boats, it looks like that pic was taken in a village I know not far from Manchester in the UK.
Lee says
Yeah, if I remember correctly, the picture was taken at Hebden Bridge.

Not to mention the dog

So Lee, where abouts do you hail from. as you say ” in the country of your birth”?
Lee says
From the U.K. cobra427. England to be more precise. About a 45 minute drive from the top picture.
