In the UK, you can hire a narrowboat for one or two weeks for a holiday. It's a
relaxing kind of holiday that forces you to slow down. The top speed of one of
these riverboats is about 4mph 6.4kph. Alongside most canals in the UK there is a
footpath, so you can also stop your boat for a while and go for walks or bike rides.
You can use a map or an app to plan your route, and there are signposts to help
you find your route. At the end of the day, you can moor your boat in a marina, or
simply tie it up alongside a riverbank. It's the perfect holiday if you need some
rest and relaxation.

to lend. For example, a bread machine or a barbecue. We put the items in
our shop, then other people come and borrow them.
Will: I don't get it. Do you mean people can take the things away and not
pay for them?
Paula: Yes, exactly. Think about it. Maybe you want to make some fresh
bread for a special dinner. You need a bread machine, but you don't want
to buy it, because you might only use it once or twice a year. You can
come to our shop and borrow it for a day, or a weekend.
Will: Are you saying it's all about lending things?
Paula: Exactly!
Will: And that works? I mean, people don't take the things away and
never bring them back?

honest. They're happy that people in the neighbourhood have brought their
things to the Share Shop. The community feels stronger as a result.

improved sense of community?
Paula: Yes, that's right.
