Hello! We are Stuart and Emmie Bobson and we are documenting our journey as we settle in to continuously cruising life on our 57 foot narrowboat, Annie!
We lived together in London (mostly in Tottenham) for over 10 years. Stuart designs and builds electric guitars. Emmie is an NHS administrator and local artist. We are child free after infertility and looking for a different adventure than the one we previously planned.

Dear friends, I have been thinking about your need to fund your new engine, and wondered if you had considered crowdfunding? To this end, I have spent a happy evening counting the number of likes that you scored on your 94 vlogs. (I’m suffering from Bobbing Along withdrawal syndrome) stand by for figures. The lowest number of likes you’ve ever received is 151. Twenty three vlogs got between that and 200. From there up to 300, you got fifty episodes , and there were 21 episodes that got more than 300 likes. And then! the very first one received 625 likes. Wow! And try as I may, I can not get that to add up to 94. My best result was 92. Anyway, I think you certainly have enough support to ask your supporters (such as me) to help pay for your new engine. Best wishes to all of you,including Annie and your Grandmother. Xxxx Berwyn
Oh my dear chap, my heart bleeds for you over loosing your wedding ring. A few years ago I took off my wedding and engagement rings at a motorway service station, together with my wrist watch all given to me by my wife over 50 years ago. When we got home I couldn’t find them at all, so know how you feel. I was gutted for over 6 months, when amazingly they turned up when Mary was cleaning out some canvas holders. We must have had that one with us at the time, and I must have put them in for safe keeping. The first thing I did when they turned up, was to take pictures of them all, so that if I ever lost them again, I could at least claim the insurance. It would never wipe out the pain of losing them, but at least it would be something. My thoughts are with you. With condolences, Berwyn.
Xx
Hi again Stu and Emmie, my mother made some Elderflower champagne and put it in old wine bottles and put them in a cupboard in the larder. Some time later (a few weeks), we were having Sunday lunch when we heard an enormous bang coming from the kitchen area. Dad went to investigate and found nothing, but a few hours later mum noticed that the floor was wet by the larder cupboard. Looking inside she saw the cork had blown out of one of the bottles and the Elderflower champagne was still leaking gently onto the floor. So dad had a great idea, and tied the remaining corks on with string. This time, on investigating a further wet larder floor,mum found that the string was unbroken, but there were 2 half pieces of cork on the shelf. Beware the power of the Elder flower! Xxx B.
Ha! That's a great story! Thank you for sharing it! X♥️
Yes. Smashed Avo is so pretentious. Sliced Avocado is much more civilized.. 🥑
Hi again folks, I just wondered if it would help you to get a peaceful night to do what I’ve often done using ear plugs or a small ball of cotton wool? Good luck with keeping the train noises. Xxxx B.
I think we've got used to train noises now! 😅
Sadly I can’t get sound on quite a lot of the first day.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that :( for future, we always make sure subtitles are available! Though we hope our sound is better in later videos x
Once again a big thank you for another lovely glimpse into yours and Annie’s life.she’s a wonderful home, keep on telling us how you are doing. Best wishes, Berwyn.
Thank you for bobbing along with us ❤️
Hello again Stu & Emmie ☺. I am subscribed but I didn't get your last post until now. Oh Stu you looked so stressed and tired 🕷. And it's so odd that you're talking to us from August! Now into November, so I'm hoping things are more settled for you and at some point we willl get a more current up date ... Take care of each other. Sending love, light and November full moon blessings xx
well done sorting all this! must’ve been so stressful 😳 can’t imagine seeing GG on the road haha! all the best guys
Thank you guys! ❤️❤️
Xx
Can’t believe the window fell out! 😂 how you going replace that ? Also Stu….white bread for the avocado!? No no no. 😂. Needs to be sourdough or seeded or brown 😍😍😍 my fav breakfast!!
Dear Emmie and Stu, sorry I spelled your name wrong in my last comment. Thought you might like to know that when we had a motor home, I bought a shopping trolley for a couple of pounds, and removed the canvas bag part and with the aid of two luggage straps, made myself a trolley to tow the toilet cassette with one hand and my elbow crutch in the other to the Elsan point. Having found you trapped by a tree on the Leek branch about a month ago, I have come back to the start to watch your whole wonderful journey, and spend more time in your company. Fabulous vlog from a fabulous couple. Much love, Berwyn.
Thank you for your kind words! And for sharing about your DIY trolley, fantastic!
Love the introduction to your art work Emma, now waiting to see some of Stu’s guitar work.
Quite agree, sliced not mashed. 😂 Good luck guys.💚
Hope all of the stuff inside the boat are safely stowed as well as the plants removed from the roof. 😅😅
Indeed they were, but there is only so many times people want to see me taping doors shut and such! Thank you for watching x♥️
We are really surprised that there was no mess after all that lifting out and moving of the boat. Those tomatoes must really love you a lot, they hung on in their pots and didnt fall over xxx
Honestly, all parties involved did a stellar job. I think a few tomatoes did fall over, but more got snagged in just taking them off of the roof. Thank you for watching. X♥️

Potatoes die back when ready to eat ,
Well, know that now😂 Thank you for watching. X
Sorry in advance, I wanted to put the avocado in the bin 😂😂 Other than that a great vlog and so chuffed to see you’ve made progress. Stay safe, best wishes and double boop 😊😂
Are avocados, more divisive than marmite? They might be! 😂 Thank you for watching. X♥️ Boop
@@bobbing_along more divisive than marmite 😂😜 it would seem they are the new marmite haha have a great day you two
Cheers, you too.
Hope you are over the stress and glad the move is over blessings to you both from both of us tc🤗🤗👍👍
Thank you! Yes we are over the stress of it, though we got a little stressed going back through the footage! Thank you for watching, you take care as well! X♥️
:)
(: thank you for watching! X♥️
Good luck both. Xx
Thank you. X
That went really well, though stressfull.. Nice potatos that you grew 🤩
Thank you, yea it was a pretty stressful couple of days! But all companies involved were pretty superb. Thank you for watching. X♥️
We felt your pain at having to clear your roof, that was us when we wanted to go through Harecastle tunnel. We had a gorgeous roof garden at the time :) Glad the move went smoothly. Those potatoes looked yummy but avocado on toast? Noooo!
Yes! With proper sea salt and hot pepper sauce. Food of the gods! All hail Travis! 🐦 Thank you for watching. X♥️
@@bobbing_along 😂
Good to see the move went well, and that Annie is intact, except for throwing away the window 😂. Your home grown potatoes looked delicious. Whether avocado is sliced or smashed, the important thing is not to end up with 'avocado hand'! Have a great couple of weeks 😊
Ha! I have never once stabbed myself while preparing an avocado. I've stabbed myself while building guitars a few times though. Thank you for watching! X♥️

Please learn basic camera usage!
Thank you for your comment.
As you probably discovered, there are more bins further along from Town Lock in Newark marina direction :)
Hah! No, we did not discover that.
What a cool walk in Newark. And the benches are so neat. I love books and I would love to do that little tour. Thanks for sharing.!!
We love books too! Though Emmie is the really big reader of the two of us. Thank you for watching! X
Just love those creative Newark book/benches 😅😊
It was fun! Though I did think a lot of them had broadly the same idea! Thank you for watching! X
What a great vlog, loved the anagram although that could have ended horribly wrong as Newark can also spell a rude word..!! 😂😂 Don't worry, the boat will have a new engine and you'll be back travelling soon 👍🏼👍🏼
I've looked in to the future and I am sure we will be back cruising soon 😉 Thank you for watching! X
