Holly The Cafe Boat
@HollyTheCafeBoat
If you’re new to our channel, here’s just a little introduction. We are Julie and Martin and in 2021 we sold our house and gave up our jobs, to live full time on a narrowboat. We bought our 2004 narrowboat Rhapsody in Blue in the September and have been living full time onboard ever since. We hadn’t intended on vlogging, but recorded videos for ourselves and family and it has escalated into the weekly vlogs you see today, we love every minute and it’s lovely having you all onboard! ❤️
Please join us as we continuously cruise the inland waterways of the UK, sharing our cruises and adventures with you all, thank you! ❤️
We’ve made a few playlists for you too, one with all our favourite cruises, one of our River Nene adventures, and the other is all our vlogs from the beginning, so you can binge watch to see where we’ve been so far! There’s also a walk through of our narrowboat home too, come inside and see how we live. ❤️

    I was trying to find the video where Martin was puzzled by people thinking he was Australian. I having lived in the USA for 12 years often get accused (I mean asked) if I am Australian. For Martin I Understand it because a London accent to Americans is very similar. Historically most of the people who got deported there were from London. So there is reason why the accents sound similar to foreigners ❤️ but seriously I am from Yorkshire and I don’t sound Australian at all lol.

    Hi guys, beautiful. The snow covered landscape looked magical. It's crazy your there with snow and ice, and we are here in SA 39-40 degrees. I cracked an egg open and put it in a frying pan, put a glass lid on it and put it out in the sun. Half an hour latter the egg was cooked, that's how hot it is on a 40 degree day. 🥵 Thank goodness for air conditioning, the only problem is you just got to hope you don't have to go out for anything.😂😂How amazing seeing the water ice over, in that way I suppose your in the the same situation, hopping you won't have to go out for anything in the cold.🥶 But I know what weather I would rather be in, Give me the cold any day. Stay safe guys.👍🏻👍🏻❤❤

      Oh to be warm lol! Mind you, 40°c is just a tad too hot 🥵 I’m with you, I love the winter, you can always warm up in the cold, but when it’s too hot there’s nothing you can do! We love the snow, but don’t get it very often, so am like a big kid when we do! 🤣 Glad you enjoyed this one Geoff! Thank you so much, hope you’re not too hot! 😜 xx

      Aww sorry to hear this Carol, migraines are so debilitating. I find a dark room, cold wet flannel across my forehead, zap it with painkillers and sleep! Thankfully I only get two or three a year, but that’s quite enough! Thanks Carol! xx

      Hi Chris, the Macclesfield canal is absolutely beautiful, just a little tip though, cruise the Macclesfield and Peak Forest canals in Spring/Summer, as when the weather is clear you’ll be able to see all the views, we had a lot of mist, fog and low cloud so a lot of the views were lost. We will be going back in a couple of summer’s time. You’ll love it! Thank you so much Chris! xx

    The only reference I can find to wood carvings on Middlewood Way is this: Nelson Pit Ranger Ed Pilkington has carved seven animals that are placed at intervals along the Middlewood Way. Each carving has an association with a local junior school ... I can't find out if this lady is one of his carvings though. Barry

    WOW, 😂😂 Julie, did I see you driving the boat? Smashing intro to this vlog as always. Hope your migrain cleared quickly. I have never heard a heron making a noise before, either. That was interesting. What a lovely group of friends you have to relax and have fun with. I am letting my imagination run away with me and think there could be some urban myth attached to the carved lady. This was a very interesting trip, especially seeing the photos of how the station looked in its day etc. Love to you both, Barry x

      Thank you Barry, yes the walk in the snow cleared all the cobwebs out and the migraine slowly dissipated. It was really interesting finding out about that old railway line. Thanks Barry! xx

    Steady on Julie, you had a lye-in and the boat's steamed up, 🫢🙈🙈, it's a bit good up north innit 👍, this vlog seemed to encapsulate everything about wanting a boat, the freedom of travel, the community both on and off the canal, if you don't like it then you can move, and if you are organised then being frozen in is not a problem, I think you made this journey at a great time as I can see the macc getting busy this year with the closure of the Bridgwater canal, stay safe, Nige.

    • @JulieandMartinonRIB

      Aww thank you for your lovely words, you’re right, the community is second to none and so long as you are organised, being frozen in is actually enjoyable! Thanks Nigel xx

    The boaters aren't silly are they. Congregate on this beautiful canal with the wonderful scenery. I loved the filming in the snow especially when the sun came out, totally awe inspiring. It is incredible how the canal froze over and it was wide there. Grief that must have been cold. Filming as always has been super, catching all the nuances of the atmosphere and weather. The Fuel boat, hard work but lovely people earning a crust and not easy! That word you were looking for to describe the togetherness of winter boaters is, camaraderie, where these involved all pull together and in unity! BTW, Julie, your WOW is getting worse not better, just saying!

    • @JulieandMartinonRIB
      @JulieandMartinonRIB День тому

      Hi Nigel, yes that’s the word, the camaraderie in the boating community is just brilliant! Boaters seem to form a tighter bond in the winter, especially those that are continuous cruising such as ourselves. We’re always very conscious of who is around us, making sure everyone is ok, especially in the snow and icy weather! The fuel boats are amazing, we always try to use their services when we can, they are often the ones making sure boaters get much needed fuel when they are frozen in, they deliver in all weathers and if they can’t reach you by boat, they will even get to you by road and foot, amazing people! Lol re wow! 😜 Thanks Nigel xx

    SNOW!! we have 35° plus here and no rain in S.A. whereas it's flooding in North Queenland!! Q - where did the Canadian Goose come from ( first 5 mins) migration maybe? And before I forget where does the water come from (water point) Julie never enough WOW😂😊 - the scenery is several WOW's - picture postcards. And can I be cheeky and add the captain is easy on the eye😂😂💙 Thank you Jan Adelaide

    • @JulieandMartinonRIB
      @JulieandMartinonRIB День тому

      Hi Jan, we have lots of Canada geese here in the UK, they don’t necessarily migrate to warmer climate in winter, they often congregate together in various wetland areas, or if there is a constant food source, then they stay in that area. The water points are provided by CRT along with each area council, so it is mains drinking water that everybody gets in their houses, and the cost is included in our CRT boat licence. The scenery really is wow! And Martin is flattered by your compliment too! Thanks Jan xx

    When the canal is frozen like this, do you hear the ice moving against the hull?

    • @JulieandMartinonRIB
      @JulieandMartinonRIB День тому

      Yes! It can be very loud and sometimes it sounds eerie! If someone moves in another boat, it makes the ice move and scrape along the boat. You hear it cracking and creaking all the time! Believe it or not though, we really enjoy it! Thank you so much xx
