    You guys were my introduction to boat life when I stumbled upon a random Instagram post telling the world you’d started this channel, and I fell down a rabbit hole and never escaped. This coming Wednesday we’re arriving in Napton to collect a hire boat for a week on the South Oxford canal. Can’t wait for my first taste of the canals, and in some small way it’s all your fault 😂 (and I thank you for it!)

    As a granny, I’m wondering if you have a fire guard, now that Joe is crawling and standing. I have a little one the same age and he’s fast! I have a wood stove too, but have a heavy 3 sided guard. I’m learning every time he comes around new things to baby proof. 🫤 The box is brilliant! I only have a cardboard box. Maybe cut up pool noodles for the edges ? Sending love from Australia where winter started in April and is still going now half way through September. 🤗🤗🤗

      @@thistinylife Ah but you have a bright & light home to live in because of all the windows.
      Curtains need to be a priority as so much heat is lost through windows though, get some nice material & Gabby run up a production line of simple curtains while Jack puts up rails & you won't regret it when you save money on heating the boat & it'll be so much more cosy on cold days. The bitterly cold air that drops into the boat from an uncovered window is not nice to experience.

High cliffs, crashing waves, warm sunshine, heavy downpours, strong winds, beautiful lakes, ancient ruins, dinner in castle, Celtic music, Blarney Stone but didn’t kiss it, interesting poison plant garden, pony/trap ride in the park in the rain! Stayed one night in a very plush hotel in Belfast. Got soaked through in a rain storm. Home with a filthy cold/flu but sunshine 18 deg today! Great to see you’re enduring through all weather’s & conditions! Bumper crop of veggies & still growing!!!

    Lovely to see the fire lit. Your allotment is looking great. You've done wonders there. BTW, just a thought - when you're pushed for time due to weather and other considerations, instead of showing us and explaining to us what you're going to be doing, set the camera and just get on with it. You could do a voice-over afterwards. It may only save a few minutes but sometimes those few minutes are extremely important!
