Ulla and Josh. I’m 67 years old and a nana. Go for it and enjoy your life on the canals. I’m too old and live in Australia. Buy two things. #1 a metal garden rake for fishing leaves etc out of the locks and canals and #2 a Big Boy hand saw to get fallen wood to cut. You won’t regret buying these two items. And now you can tell all you friends that you live in the country !!! Lucky you. ❤️❤️
Thank you for the recommendations Vicki, we shall definitely get our hands on a rake. Josh used to be a tree surgeon so we have many many saws on board already 😄 where shouts do you live in australia? I lived in aus for 15 years, from the age of 9 onwards! Loved it so much. Looking forward to visiting again one day. xx
Okay here goes… I have been a fan of Narrowboat UA-cam channels for years. I am very selective about the ones I prefer. For a first vlog- my opinion - you nailed it. You kept my attention the entire time. Not too much music- just enough and your music selections were perfect- not too powerful but just the right piece for the moods. Your joy- priceless! Your appreciation for small moments- thank you. Your voice tone- spot on. Really- great vlog. You now have a fan from America. P S - you mentioned Milton Keynes- I have a daughter living in Buckingham- great market village.
Oh Tanya, thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely message to us. We are having such a wonderful time so far! There have been hard moments for sure but we are enjoying it and feel so thankful to be living this life. Thank you for the encouragement… it means so much to us. Looking forward to seeing you again on here. Wishing you a lovely day x
Couldn't agree more. Way too many boater channels are ruined by the Music, plus some seem to rely on what is basi ally Soft Porn to get subscribers and likes. Annoying enough for me to unsubscrive. 🤔👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️
My parents used to live just outside of Bedford, and I stayed with them while waiting for the purchase of my Smallholding to be completed, loved Rollerskating around the Milton Keynes Shopping Centre when on the way to a Roller Skating rink and waiting for its opening time not sure, may have even in Newport Pagnell ? Met lots of nice people in the area as at the time CB Radio was big, and there was a great CB Radio Club called Alpha Zulu that had regular Meetings. Fun Times. Best Wishes. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Have you seen NC&L (Narrowboat Cruising and Lifes tyle) Vincent Parker. He started his adventure about 2 years ago. He gives lots of tips on the things that he is learning as he goes along.
I hope you love it. When my husband and I were first married (41 years ago) we moved to Juneau Alaska and purchased a 27 foot sailboat which we lived on. It is one of my fondest memories,
Great first vlog...love the cinematography, storytelling style and your great personalities....I think your channel and narrow boat life will be very successful
Talk about jumping in at the deep end. Freezing temperatures is a good way to hit the reality of living aboard. A nice video style and plenty of enthusiasm despite the cold. Good luck.
Thanks Marcus… yep you’re right there, we really did throw ourselves in the deep end!! We moved out of our house the first day it snowed in the south of the U.K. and then straight on board our narrowboat. We figured if we can survive the winter… summer will be a breeze 😁 … to be seen!! Thanks for being here with us !!
How lovely to join you on your new and exciting adventure. I really enjoyed your first vlog and it was beautifully filmed. Your boat is beautiful inside....it has obviously been lovingly cared for. Happy travels!
Super tare postarea! Sunteți plăcuți! 👍 Mă uit de ceva timp la acest stil de viață și îmi place! Îmi place din fața ecranului! 🗽 Comunic cu câțiva temerari care au ales viața 'on narow boat'! A good thought! 👍
This is awesome. Il definitely be keeping up with your episodes. I love how English it is 😁 The country roads n bridges, the nature, hot cups of tea and ofcourse the canal boat. Reminds me of my childhood in Leicestershire. ❤️
I have been craving proper Englishness for much of my life I think. Having left the U.K. at a young age to live in australia and then having spent most of my adult life thus far in Paris, it feels so great to be immersing myself in all things british :) so happy to have you here with us xx
Hello you two, you seem so excited by the thought of your new adventures. I hope boat life is as good as you dreamed it would be. I’m looking forward to seeing more from you two as you live and learn onboard. Take care. Lots of love. X
Hiya Izaac, we are loving the narrowboat life so far! It is the only affordable and legal way to live off grid, amongst nature in the U.K. We wish you so much luck if you decide to take the leap also :)
You’ve absolutely cracked it guys. Beautiful content and I’ll be back for more. You lucky people will give sooo many more lots of fun and eye popping Vlogs love it love it stay warm be safe love each other just the way you are. Can see it how you behave with each other !! Steph U.K. xxx
Thank you Stephanie, there have been hard moments here and there for sure but we have each other which means anything is possible and all hardships can be overcome. Thank you for being here with us on this journey! xxx
30 seconds in and I started feeling butterflies for you guys! What a magical video! What a wonderful way to be introduced to a channel. First of many views to come from me 💕 God bless.
5 mins in your personalities and sence of joy in everything you do with such positivity made me hit that new subscriber button like a shot! 🥰 looking forward to watching your journey, that boat will look unrecognisable by the time you've both made it your home, flowers in the roof and crocheted blankets on the beds, I can see it all now 🥰🥰 xxxxxxxxxxxxx
@Ula and Josh I forgot to add my adult daughter is a lovely autistic lady who is a self taught amazing crocheter, she crochets blanket to donate to all the baby wards and the dialysis wards around our area, if you have a P.O Box or address she said she'd love to make you some and send you them for your new Rosie and Jim boat (she used to watch that as a toddler and has been obsessed with narrow boats ever since bless her lol) let us know what colours you'd like and how many and rough sizes ect cos she'd love to gift some my lovelies 🥰🥰 xxxxxxxxxxxxx she makes a mean tea cozy too if you want some she'd love to gift you some of them too 🥰 xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx
@@Ariesbuddha thank you, thankyou, thankyou for your support and the most kind words. You’re so lovely and we appreciate you. And as for your gorgeous daughter, how talented, kind and as thoughtful as her mumma. Look at you guys, the world needs more Lorna and Co!

I think it’s amazing seeing beautiful couple like yourselves experiencing a different style of living. I’m happy you can carry your viewers with you! 🙌☺️
This is amazing, it looks like you’re in a beautiful part of the country! I’m looking forward to following your adventures and seeing where you end up.
This video came up in my recommendations. I’m watching from Canberra, Australia. What a beautiful first episode - subscribed! Looking forward to following your adventures in this new phase of narrowboat living!
I live in Sweden on the countryside. I’ve got an old caravan that i adore and love to live in. Now when i found you, i’m so happy to se that you live my dream, a narrow boat. I gone love to follow your channel. Lot’s of love for you. Yvonne
I loved your first vlog. You kept it interesting and entertaining. Look forward to seeing more. Enjoy this next chapter in this journey of your lives. All the best from Nova Scotia Canada.
Hello You Two - greetings from Poland It's lovely to meet you both. What a great couple you are. I've subscribed and will follow your journey from here. A fantastic first video. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for episode 2. See you again soon. Stay safe please
Thank you so much for the loveliest feedback Michael. We are loving life on the water so far even with all its quirks 😆 thank you for whinge here with us on this journey x
I knooooow!! We have always said if we can enjoy the winter onboard then the rest is sure to be wonderful! And I think it is safe to say that we are really enjoying ourselves so far :)
Hi we are Al and Cheryl Combes 64 and 65 years old from Cape Town South Africa and we have loved our adventures on the Norfolk Broads. We have so enjoyed your first blog and look forward to following you as we live vicariously through your adventures. May you go from strength to strength. Much love xx
Brill blog. Great to see you navigate your new life. It would be brilliant to have some context in terms of selling the house, what you have done with your stuff (you mentioned not having any), are you going to have a mooring or become constant cruisers etc. Appreciate it's the first blog but would be super useful for those who may potentially be looking to do something similar.
Thanks Ryan this is great feedback!! We will definitely work this on to future vlogs :) we watched so many narrowboaters online before taking the plunge and loved when they explained how they came to be on the water! Thanks for being here with us :) x
So happy your video popped up on my youtubes. Years ago read a couple books about a couple and their 2 dogs that lived on a narrowboat; enjoyed them so much. I am so happy now to follow along on your narrowboat journey.
Hello to you both, I wish you both lots of adventures and fun. I am very pleased to join you right from the start. You are both doing very well in keeping our interest. Enjoy the experience long may it continue
So happy i found this channel! You're both incredible! I'm trying to do a similar thing.. Putting so much Love into selling my house and its actually sold 3 times and buyers have pulled out on all occasions.. I'll get there soon, persistency pays.. Wishing you well on your watery adventures guys. Much Love! 💚
Good luck with the house sale Paul! It was a stressful moment waiting for our house to sell and hoping to not miss out on our boat in the meantime!! You will get there. Thank you for the encouragement. So happy to have you here with us :)
@@michellemacrae3643 Hi Michelle. I was actually in a huge low point of my life stuck in a loop of working a job i really didnt like and then stuck drinking in my time off trying to numb the pain of it all and smile. Had a huge awakening during the Lockdown when i realised what our Governments are really trying to do to us and their future plans for us all and just had a lightbulb moment of realising life's too short for this. I'm selling the house, taking the money and start living!! Wishing you the best with your adventures! Sending Love..
Wow! What an explosive start to a channel/series!! Well done!! Looking forward to seeing more of what life is like on a canal boat. Would love a video tour of your new space once you get it all set up. Looking forward to your future episodes!
Hey Ulla and Josh 🤗 What a lovely couple you are! I've just put my flat on the market to also live my narrowboat dream. Folk have said I'm mad as I'm a solo, mid-50's woman but, I've done alright so far following my heart (and my gut!) so I'll just carry on 😆 Too much comfort gets dull! Plus, my dog Moo loves the canals and it's all about her - of course! Can't wait for more content. Your boat is gorgeous- and so is your voice Ulla. I checked out your other vids. Fingers crossed for some singing. Hugs and best wishes, Tracy 🙏
Ohhhhhhh Tracy, your comment has melted my heart. Thank you for taking the time to write such a heartfelt message. Well done you! Listening to one’s intuition can definitely be hard at times, especially when those around you are saying you are mad! We have been called crazy by many family members and friends… but I would much rather be crazy than bored and stuck in a life that is unfulfilling! We want adventure… and all that comes with it. Solo boating will be a blast and having Moo along with you to keep you company will be brilliant. Always listen to your heart Tracy. Thank you for the lovely words about my singing… I am planning on perhaps playing some songs in the future on our videos so stay tuned :) much love xxx Ula and Josh
@@UlaandJosh aaw, what a beautiful message! Thank you so much for the encouraging words. ❤️ More songs would be lovely. Anyway, go safe and in happiness 😊 Hugs, T and M xx
im living my dream through you guys, i always wanted to do this but now sadly due to mobility issues and age im unable too, so looking forward to following your adventures
Oh Pamela, thank you for the lovely words!! Keep in touch and if we ever pass where you are in the U.K. we will get you on board for a cuppa and a cruise… to feel it out. Thank you for being here with us xx Ula and Josh
Just found your channel……so idilic but bloody cold!! Made me quite home sick. I used to live in front of the canal. The beauty of England makes me miss it. Can’t wait to see next week.
Hello Ula and Josh. I've just discovered your channel and am thrilled to have found it right at the beginning of your new adventures! Your filming and presentation style is perfect. So relaxing. I lived on a narrowboat and went all over England for two and a half years until family commitments took over. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I'm older now with mobility issues so don't get out much.... so watching you enjoying all the nature and wonder of the waterways is a real treat for me. I've subscribed and look forward to following your story. What lovely, genuine people you are. Have fun xx
Oh wow Emily, I bet you have seen some incredible things from the water ways! What an adventure you must have been on!! Thank you for following our journey so far!! We are pleased to have you with us xx
Just a word of advice. Less revs from cold, you will kill your engine very quickly. The smoke at the start was blue smoke which is not great. Go longer on warming the glow plugs when it's so cold, the engine was cranking too long which either means poor compression or glow plugs not hot enough. Just run your engine as gently as you can from cold. I was cringing at the amout of revs you were running from dead cold. It sounded almost flat out.
What a find...beautifully filmed and your excitement for your new life shone through. The boat looks amazing, especially inside. Loved the Greensleeves music too. Looking forward to future episodes. Thank you, Tony
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback ✨ we are slowly turning the boat into our home and it feels so good to do so! The outside definitely needs a paint job, which shall be fun to film when the weather gets a little better. We have discovered some artwork under the peeling paint so hoping to salvage it :) more on that in an upcoming episode! Thanks for being here with us 😊
Greetings from Tasmania Australia where it is much warmer than there.😊I absolutely loved your first vlog. The scenery was divine with the snow and light. Looking forward to next weeks vlog.
Absoltly fantastic. I would watch those ropes they look tight. It can tip the boat when the ice goes. Looking forward to next weeks vlog. Take care stay safe xxx
All the best to you both go for it my grandson just given up on his boat after eighteen months gone back to Thailand he fell in love with country there n the heat but England is tc now the oldies 🤗🤗👍👍 just has lovely just a bit cold
Thank you Ann! Best of luck to your grandson on his new adventure and to you too with whatever adventure you are on :) thank you for being here with us xx
Hey Ula & Josh, it was so lovely watching and hearing your voice. Great start to your vlog guys and I look forward to following your journey and feeling inspired to chase my dreams too. Congratulations on making such a brave move. I hope it all works out to be the best decision you’ve ever made 🙏🏻
Hello Jeremy, so lovely to hear from you :) thank you for the kind words!!! It is always so worth chasing your dreams even if it means throwing yourself in the deep end as we have 😆 and I think you may be right…. this could just be the best decision we ever made! xxx
A good new start of life ahead of you two as couple and new adventure!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎GOODLUCK TO YOU GUYS LOVE U AND TAKE CARE always!!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌹🌹🌹🌹💚💚💚💚🌟🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜👏🏼
I really loved this! I live seconds away from the river lea and when I go for walks I see all the long boats and ducks and it’s so relaxing just to look at the waters it can put me into a sleepy mood, so relaxing to be out there! All the best on your journey and will sub now !
Thank you Ella, we are loving living on the boat so far... we are hoping to publish a new video ever week for as long as we can, so wish us luck 🤪. Would love to visit the river Lea... though we are currently moored rather far from there for now. 😀
Hi there! I’m new to your channel, just subscribed after watching this video. You guys are great 😊 I’m so happy for you that you’ve been able to do this.. I would live on one tomorrow if I got the chance! Love the way you respect your surroundings/nature. I think you have nice calming voices, the music you chose for the video was spot on.. just everything about it was great. I look forward to seeing more! Enjoy guys 💚🍂🪵🌱🦢🐿️ xx
Thank you so much Kim for the lovely feedback! We are thrilled to have you here with us :) it is definitely a lovely way to live! Being this close to nature on a daily basis is something we have wanted for such a long time. ✨✨✨
Thanks Phil! It take a lot of courage to do this … especially when many people around you may think you are nuts for wanting to break with the norm! Happy to have you along for the ride x
Hi. Enjoy I did .It did take awhile to get things in the right place and settle in the space .It was really great in all the Season.The Canal the people nature and beautiful country side and the Architect.❤️

See you again soon. Stay safe please
Thank you so much for the loveliest feedback Michael. We are loving life on the water so far even with all its quirks 😆 thank you for whinge here with us on this journey x
Welcome to the cut! What a way to start your lives afloat - in a big freeze!!
I knooooow!! We have always said if we can enjoy the winter onboard then the rest is sure to be wonderful! And I think it is safe to say that we are really enjoying ourselves so far :)
I've never seen or heard of a narrowboat before now but this looks like an absolutely fabulous way to live!
It is quite the adventure Eric :)
" Iv'e never seen or heard of a narrow boat before ". You wouldn't be american perchance Eric?
Hi we are Al and Cheryl Combes 64 and 65 years old from Cape Town South Africa and we have loved our adventures on the Norfolk Broads. We have so enjoyed your first blog and look forward to following you as we live vicariously through your adventures. May you go from strength to strength. Much love xx
Thank you Al and Cheryl!!! That means A LOT! So happy to have you join us on the journey x
Brill blog. Great to see you navigate your new life. It would be brilliant to have some context in terms of selling the house, what you have done with your stuff (you mentioned not having any), are you going to have a mooring or become constant cruisers etc. Appreciate it's the first blog but would be super useful for those who may potentially be looking to do something similar.
Thanks Ryan this is great feedback!! We will definitely work this on to future vlogs :) we watched so many narrowboaters online before taking the plunge and loved when they explained how they came to be on the water! Thanks for being here with us :) x
This is rad!
Thanks bud
Glad to see a new narrowboat channel. It seems like some of my old favorites have sold their boats or got married.
Thanks John, so pleased to have you here with us :) x
So happy your video popped up on my youtubes. Years ago read a couple books about a couple and their 2 dogs that lived on a narrowboat; enjoyed them so much. I am so happy now to follow along on your narrowboat journey.
Hello how are you doing?
Hiya Jan, so happy to have you with us. Hope you are enjoying the videos so far. Wishing you a lovely day
Hello to you both, I wish you both lots of adventures and fun. I am very pleased to join you right from the start. You are both doing very well in keeping our interest. Enjoy the experience long may it continue
Thanks Lorraine, we are loving the experience so far! Xx
Brilliant video. The very best wishes to you both on this journey. Love is the answer! Lovely couple
❤️❤️❤️yes it is
Congratulating you both on your narrowboat adventure. Lovely forest vlog.
Thank you Sheila !! And what an adventure it is too ☺️
So pleasing to watch!! Can’t wait to watch more!
Love this Kandis!! Thankyou for your support and so glad you're following along!
WOW !!! Amazing, what a fantastic way to live on a narrowboat 🙂 Hope it all works out and look forward to your videos 🙂
Thanks so much! 😊
what a beautiful scenery and what a cosy boat! I love it and I am excited for you! 🤩
Thank you a jasmin xx
I'm excited for you two. Quite adventurous and an entertaining to view. It would be nice to have a little backstory about how this came to be.
Hiya Vince, yes the back story shall definitely be coming out in episodes to come! There is a lot to say in how this all came to pass 😁
What an adventure. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So happy i found this channel! You're both incredible! I'm trying to do a similar thing.. Putting so much Love into selling my house and its actually sold 3 times and buyers have pulled out on all occasions.. I'll get there soon, persistency pays.. Wishing you well on your watery adventures guys. Much Love! 💚
Good luck with the house sale Paul! It was a stressful moment waiting for our house to sell and hoping to not miss out on our boat in the meantime!! You will get there. Thank you for the encouragement. So happy to have you here with us :)
Best of luck on the house sale. We have contemplated this live style. Can I ask what has prompted you to go for it ?
@@michellemacrae3643 Hi Michelle. I was actually in a huge low point of my life stuck in a loop of working a job i really didnt like and then stuck drinking in my time off trying to numb the pain of it all and smile. Had a huge awakening during the Lockdown when i realised what our Governments are really trying to do to us and their future plans for us all and just had a lightbulb moment of realising life's too short for this. I'm selling the house, taking the money and start living!! Wishing you the best with your adventures! Sending Love..
I'm looking forward to following your adventures
✨✨✨
So happy for you guys! A new beggining, bless you both! 🙌
Thanks Deividas :)
Hi Guys love your tiny home. Enjoy floating around.
Ohh thankyou Susan! Xx
Wow! What an explosive start to a channel/series!! Well done!! Looking forward to seeing more of what life is like on a canal boat. Would love a video tour of your new space once you get it all set up. Looking forward to your future episodes!
Yessss definitely! Hoping to do a tour soon 😁
This is beautiful , I love the boat it looks so cozy..
It so sooooo COSY now
Hey Ulla and Josh 🤗 What a lovely couple you are! I've just put my flat on the market to also live my narrowboat dream. Folk have said I'm mad as I'm a solo, mid-50's woman but, I've done alright so far following my heart (and my gut!) so I'll just carry on 😆 Too much comfort gets dull! Plus, my dog Moo loves the canals and it's all about her - of course! Can't wait for more content. Your boat is gorgeous- and so is your voice Ulla. I checked out your other vids. Fingers crossed for some singing. Hugs and best wishes, Tracy 🙏
Ohhhhhhh Tracy, your comment has melted my heart. Thank you for taking the time to write such a heartfelt message. Well done you! Listening to one’s intuition can definitely be hard at times, especially when those around you are saying you are mad! We have been called crazy by many family members and friends… but I would much rather be crazy than bored and stuck in a life that is unfulfilling! We want adventure… and all that comes with it. Solo boating will be a blast and having Moo along with you to keep you company will be brilliant. Always listen to your heart Tracy.
Thank you for the lovely words about my singing… I am planning on perhaps playing some songs in the future on our videos so stay tuned :) much love xxx Ula and Josh
@@UlaandJosh aaw, what a beautiful message! Thank you so much for the encouraging words. ❤️
More songs would be lovely. Anyway, go safe and in happiness 😊
Hugs, T and M xx
Very fun and joyful video, thank you from Tennessee!
Thank you so much xx
im living my dream through you guys, i always wanted to do this but now sadly due to mobility issues and age im unable too, so looking forward to following your adventures
Oh Pamela, thank you for the lovely words!! Keep in touch and if we ever pass where you are in the U.K. we will get you on board for a cuppa and a cruise… to feel it out. Thank you for being here with us xx Ula and Josh
@@UlaandJosh Bless you x
Just found your channel……so idilic but bloody cold!! Made me quite home sick. I used to live in front of the canal. The beauty of England makes me miss it. Can’t wait to see next week.
It’s quite a special way to live!! So happy to have you here with us x
Omg I didn't know you guys had this channel!! Katie just told me ❤❤❤ So happy for you, looks wonderful
YAY so happy to have you here love!!!! We just released our new episode :) so much love your way xx
What an exciting adventure!
It is indeed 😁
Hello Ula and Josh. I've just discovered your channel and am thrilled to have found it right at the beginning of your new adventures! Your filming and presentation style is perfect. So relaxing. I lived on a narrowboat and went all over England for two and a half years until family commitments took over. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I'm older now with mobility issues so don't get out much.... so watching you enjoying all the nature and wonder of the waterways is a real treat for me. I've subscribed and look forward to following your story. What lovely, genuine people you are. Have fun xx
Oh wow Emily, I bet you have seen some incredible things from the water ways! What an adventure you must have been on!! Thank you for following our journey so far!! We are pleased to have you with us xx
Love it. You have done an amazing thing & deserve to enjoy it! Have subscribed & will enjoy following.
Thank you so much Lyn xx
Just a word of advice. Less revs from cold, you will kill your engine very quickly. The smoke at the start was blue smoke which is not great. Go longer on warming the glow plugs when it's so cold, the engine was cranking too long which either means poor compression or glow plugs not hot enough. Just run your engine as gently as you can from cold. I was cringing at the amout of revs you were running from dead cold. It sounded almost flat out.
Thanks for this James :) that was our first time starting it so we have learnt a lot since then!! Thanks for being here with us.
What a find...beautifully filmed and your excitement for your new life shone through. The boat looks amazing, especially inside. Loved the Greensleeves music too. Looking forward to future episodes. Thank you, Tony
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback ✨ we are slowly turning the boat into our home and it feels so good to do so! The outside definitely needs a paint job, which shall be fun to film when the weather gets a little better. We have discovered some artwork under the peeling paint so hoping to salvage it :) more on that in an upcoming episode! Thanks for being here with us 😊
Greetings from Tasmania Australia where it is much warmer than there.😊I absolutely loved your first vlog. The scenery was divine with the snow and light. Looking forward to next weeks vlog.
Thank you Lynne :)
Absoltly fantastic. I would watch those ropes they look tight. It can tip the boat when the ice goes. Looking forward to next weeks vlog. Take care stay safe xxx
Thank you Karen! And great tip :) see you next week x

Congratulations on making such a brave move. I hope it all works out to be the best decision you’ve ever made 🙏🏻
Hello Jeremy, so lovely to hear from you :) thank you for the kind words!!! It is always so worth chasing your dreams even if it means throwing yourself in the deep end as we have 😆 and I think you may be right…. this could just be the best decision we ever made! xxx

Thank you Jackie xxx ✨✨✨
I really loved this! I live seconds away from the river lea and when I go for walks I see all the long boats and ducks and it’s so relaxing just to look at the waters it can put me into a sleepy mood, so relaxing to be out there! All the best on your journey and will sub now !
Thank you Ella, we are loving living on the boat so far... we are hoping to publish a new video ever week for as long as we can, so wish us luck 🤪. Would love to visit the river Lea... though we are currently moored rather far from there for now. 😀
Congratulations on your purchase of the narrowest and with many happy canal miles to travel ahead of you.
Thank you John! We are excited to get exploring more when the winter closures and repairs ease a little! Thrilled to have you here with us x
