Sophia wanted to call her The Sleeping Kitten. I wanted the more esoteric ‘Moment’ as in, “I began life in the cut on The Spectrum, but now I am living in The Moment.” Sleeping Kitten’s Moment is our consensus.
My life on the water began during the first Covid-19 lockdown on a tiny narrowboat called The Spectrum. She was, at the time, moored at Kings Cross just a few minutes walk from Sophia’s school.
