I've got it!!!

Having sweated my way through the last few days and hours, I am delighted to report that I have secured the mooring at Fradley and only had to go £55 over my ideal annual budget to get it. It will cost me nearly £800 less than Barton (although of course I will be using much more diesal as there is no electricity at Fradley). It is also a fixed amount for 3 years and vat inclusive so I know exactly how much I need to budget for which is excellent.
But most important to me is that there will be no more fences, gates, signs or people telling me what to do, how to live and how to look after my dog!! Yes, the practicalities of life will take more working at, but I am so sure it will be worth it.
It is not a residential mooring, so from 1st January, when my mooring at Barton runs out, my address will be c/o a friend in Devon. If you want that address, let me know.
Happy Days! I'm going to be a 'proper' boater!
