- We made the decision to move from Australia to the UK quite a while back. This is the story about the journey we took and the lives we lived before we came to the UK and began living on a narrowboat. Warning: awesome shots of the Australian Outback included - you might want to visit after viewing!

Ryan, your mum follows my channel and she told me about you guys some time ago, I have been slowly watching my way through your videos, and really enjoying watching you discover the uk - a place I take for granted having lived here all my life. If canals came as far as Northumberland you’d be very welcome at The Last Homely House! Xxxxx Kate
I'm sitting in my bus during a rain storm watching this!
Now you can be jealous of me for a minute.
I'm in northern Wisconsin.
No canals.
Haha, definitely jealous! Miss those storms!! 😁
Husband and wife nice to see these days
Well, you are very welcome, and it's a pleasure to have you here!
Haha, thanks! 😁
"One of our favourite things about being in the UK is the weather ..." Excuse me while I pick myself up off the floor As a native Brit, I don't ever recollect hearing those words uttered in that particular order before... 😊
🤣🤣 well it’s true! We love the rain after living most of our lives in the dry, hot climates of Aus!
@@NarrowboatChef Yeah I know :) For years I lived in central Spain. Come the middle of the roasting Spanish summer, I'd find myself fantasising about walking across the crunchy, frosty grass of a British winter's morning...
flat5sharp11 haha, exactly! Occasionally if I’m REALLY cold, I’ll think how nice it would be to be back in Aus... 😂
flat5sharp11 well said!! But some folks find it easier to bundle up and stay cozy, than run and hide from scorching heat.
@@NarrowboatChef I can relate to that. After umpteen years in the dry tropics of Oz and PNG it was nice to move back to seeing change of seasons and colours other then varying shades of brown (even if it does get bl00dy cold......)
Wow! Thanks for the background info. We would never have guessed you were from down under. You must cruise during winter you can see so much more without leaves on the trees.
We are considering doing it next winter! See how it goes...
Enjoying your Australia home video
THANKS GUYS INTERESTING ABOUT YOU TWO WILL TELL YOU ABOUT MY LIFE , GOING TO CHECK YOUR ONE ABOUT BUYING YOUR BOAT .
Hi from Perth, WA. Just discovered your videos and loved your background stories. My wife and I spent a holiday on the Macclesfield Canal in 2015 and have been hooked since. By the way we are a multigenerational homeschooling family and our daughter is a chef, so lots in common. So will look forward to your videos. All the best Paul.
I don't like the heat either.
Wow, lots in common indeed! Thanks for the kind words, we’re pleased to have you along! 😊
@@NarrowboatChef I just noticed from one of your other videos about Aston Marina, you live only 8 miles from Church Leigh were my grandfather was raised as a young boy before emigrating to Australia in 1922 as a teenager. Im not stalking you by the way. Very interested how your parents experience will be, because I am hoping to buy a NB for holidays, when I retire a few years down the track
Haha, I hardly think watching our videos constitutes stalking! 😂 That’s interesting to know about your grandfather - it seems there were a lot of people moving from the UK to Australia during that time. I think my parents are considering making their own videos about their experiences with the boat, so if they do, might be useful for you.
@@chiselit1 It will be interesting for us to see if we can work the travel backwards and forwards to UK around work commitments without becoming too jet lagged, maybe we'll have to retire sooner rather than later ;-)
@@carriea4868 I have come to view that sooner is better than later if circumstance permit, because sometimes it can be too late if you wait. You can always go back to work later if you have to.
I remembered our walk in the snowy forest when you said you were looking forward to living on the canalboat with a fire whilst it was snowing! I am glad that this came true :) ❄️
Us too! You will have to come visit - or we will come visit you, but that could take a while on the boat... 😂🤣
THANK YOU !
Very well done indeed.
Excellent background history.
I didn't realize that your stories would have such a positive impression on me.
I hope every day is better than the one before.
Funny to see the reactions for a dusting of snow and what we would think is a nice warmer day.
LOL.
Alaska's year round average temperature is a fraction over 26°F, right now it's -20°F Below Zero.
Our snowfall is measured in inches and its been common this year to see six inches at a time.
There's so much snow that Moose are walking rigt over our five foot fences that are buried by the snowfall.
Love in Christ from Alaska.
G.
Wow! That is a lot of snow!! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Thank you for sharing a bit about your lives in Australia as well as why you decided on the UK for your home base so to speak. So wise to travel now while you are young and can really enjoy all that travel can be. I enjoy your boating series as the canals are so unique. I have seen so much or England's beauty from you as well as other narrow boat owners. The country is so beautiful., all the farms and little villages, I just love it. Looking forward to all that you want to share while moored for the winter. Have a Blessed day.
Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying them!
I live in the desert like you did in Oz, but ours is the Northern Sonora desert and high altitude (1 mile/ 1609 meters). The high desert gets all four seasons over the right times of the year. We get 11" of rain over the average year but we also get 11" of snow in the same year (really about 1.1" of rain is snow). The amazing thing is that I know people who ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon (albeit the golf course is brown) in winter.
Wow, that’s amazing! 😄
I'm glad you did decide to do these Vlogs, we quite enjoy them!
just watch your blog 2 lovely people i to was raised in aus as a emigrant with my parents in 1960 we came back in 1985 i loved aus as a teenager it was nice to come home good luck to you both .if your ever on the lancaster canal in lancaster give us a shout
Hi Cliff, nice to hear you enjoyed Australia, we have grown to appreciate it more now that we live in the UK. Loving life over here in the UK though!
Im from London and I thought your accents were British not Australian. PS Gday and ill be watching your other uploads now :)
Haha, g’day! 😁🇦🇺
Ahhhh....the sound of rain on the roof of the narrowboat...must be like the sound of rain on a corrugated metal roof in Aus :) I've also known Australians who love the fact that we have much longer daylight hours in summer. Not sure they like the shorter winter days, but you can't have one without the other :) Thanks for the background information, really interesting :)
You’re welcome! Yes the longer summer days are nice, we don’t usually mind the short winter days either, especially now that we work from the boat so we don’t need to go out into the freezing dark! 🤣
I am sure that 3very one my age is cheering your decision to go adventuring NOW. HAVE FUN CRUSING. XOX
Maggie due to lock down I started watching this channel (David the sconner from 'the cut' highlighted it!) and thought you had this amazing aura. Well recipes
You 2 do sound British, because you have British parent's I think. I am in Australia but went to school and university in UK. I sound British too. Love your videos on the boat stuff. Nice to see young people so happy.
I think somewhere you made a comment about a sister in Australia so I thought there could have been a passing connection with Australia. Well I am glad of the connection. Having lived a third of my life in Brisbane and a third in the outback and a third in the wet tropics I appreciate the variety you have had. Talking about the green, we have plenty here with all the rainforest (and so we should with 90 inches of rain so far this year), but there is something lovely about the soft greens of Britain. I have seen them a few times. Having been born and raised in Australia I am surprised that your accents are so English.
Yes, it is a different kind of green here in the UK. We do miss the varied landscapes in Australia sometimes though! We never had very strong Aussie accents, and after being here for 4 and a half years we’ve picked up a little on the English accent. 😊
Don't forget Australia is a very diverse country geographically -- so some places are green and some red. :) Nice to hear your story -- off to Mooloolaba beach to walk the dog, meet the family for a bbq brekkie at the beach reserve- back home to the aircon and pool, decent mangoes and prawns. Enjoy your rain, ridiculously hot shops and busy roads though won't you - :) 29 degrees here today - just perfect. Actually I do love the UK - love the shops, pubs and yes even the weather when I visit often. But snow == I go to Whistler for that :)
Yes, Australia has quite the range. Maggie was born down in Tassie so the climate there is pretty similar to the UK anyway! Sounds like you have a lovely day planned! Enjoy! 😊
This was just lovely! Thank you so much for sharing your story; I found it completely fascinating. You also had me looking up info on Ancestry Visas - I would qualify, having a Welsh grandad and English grandmother....sometimes I am so tempted.... all the best to you!
Thanks Patricia! The Ancestry visa is one of the easiest to get, at least, it was when I applied - I believe they’ve upped the amount you need in your bank account since then. Still, definitely pleased that I was able to get the visa. Fingers crossed that I will be able to get citizenship when it runs out end of this year... 🤞🤞
Thanks for sharing your stories. I couldn't tell that Maggie wasn't from the UK but Ryan, every once in a while you sound Canadian believe it or not so I had suspicions but wasn't sure. Thanks very much again. Yours is the only other boating vlog I watch besides David's. Cheers from Canada, E. Ontario actually.
Hahaha, someone thought Ryan was Polish at one point! 🤣 We’d like to visit Canada at some time in the future!
YOU WILL HAVE TO COME UP TO THE LANCASTER CANAL AND VISIT THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND TO SEE THE AURORA BOREALIS....A REGULAR THING IN THE AUTUMN....PLUS THE LAKE DISTRICT HILLS AND THE SCOTTISH HILLS AND MOUNTAINS....
Recommend the Kennet & Avon canal... Bath, Bristol, 👍
Thanks guys! We definitely want to go to Bath at some point, but we are thinking of heading northwards this year 🤔
Thanks for sharing your story.It's great you're having an adventure while you're young and free.The thing i love about England the most are the four seasons.I enjoy every one of them.Good luck to both of you on your journey.
Yes! Exactly! We have two seasons in Australia - wet and dry, and both of them are hot! 🤣 Love seeing the seasons change over here, it’s magical.
G'day from Penrith NSW Australia. I am catching up with your Vlogs. I am a Chef but not working in the industry. I discovered by accident during the March Lockdown UK Narrow boats. I became hooked on the lifestyle. So much so I am looking at not a Tree change or Sea Change. I hope for Narrow boat change.
Haha, welcome to the world of narrowboats! 😁
Interesting comments about the weather. I guess its all relative. You were raised in a dry arid part of the world and I just came in from 4 hours of snow blowing snow drifts in my driveway and shoveling over a metre (yard plus) of snow off the roof of my house (sitll have the other half to do tomorrow). So if its rain in the frozen form you pine for Canada is the place for you. Just a few canals, but you may want to trade your narrow boat for a sailboat and cruise our Great Lakes. Keep up the great vlogs
Haha, we will keep Canada in mind if we get the urge to spend our days shoveling snow! We’d love to visit Canada at some point. 😊
Your from Brisvagas. I knew there was a reason I liked your vlogs. Fellow Brisvagas resident.
😁😁👍
I am happy for you two ..I envey your life and travels ...
Have a great time cruising the canals, I shall be tagging along for the ride.
Glad to have you along! 😊
Didn't realise you were Australian . Great video guys very interesting,
Great channel! We were so impressed with your cookbook. Well done
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
I’m a rainy day person too!! I love a good thunder storm, as long as the lightening doesn’t cause a forest fire. It’s wonderful to hear your story! I’m enjoying the scenery of your cruises. 🇨🇦👋
Hi!! Yep, thunderstorms just have a majestic quality about them! Thanks for watching 😊
aww... I want to live on a canal boat too! congrats from Sydney!
Thanks, it’s pretty awesome! 😊🇦🇺
You guys don’t have any trace of a Aussie accent! Very cool
Haha, it’s there in some of our words! 😁
This video has an occasional flash of pixelation as if there is corruption in the video file. I suggest you try to watch to make sure it isn't just me. If you see it, also, you might want to find a good master and upload it again.
great to hear how you ended up with us Poms in Blighty, enjoy yourselves its a great country.
It certainly is! 😊
As a British person, living in Australia, who watches stuff about cooking or canal boats on UA-cam, I feel like I’ve found the middle spot in the Venn diagram
Hehe, you’re welcome, we aim to please! 😁😉
Sat watching this freezing cold and you've left all that heat and sun keep the good work up take care
Loved this video with the beautiful glimpse of Australia. Oh my, what a fascinating country. In my area of California, USA, from June through September you can count on weather in the high 90’s to as hot as 113 degrees, but it is a dry heat. No snow here but it is only an hours drive away. Looking forward to enjoying your fun, entertaining videos. You are a delightful couple.
Thanks! 😊
The Llangollen canal is great but take your time. The pubs in wrenbury, (Dusty Miller or Cotton Arms) Whitchurch, the black bear, Ellesmere, the Black or Red Lion, the Poachers pocket by Chirk, the Corn mill at Llangollen and there is a big flow. It will take 20% longer going to Llangollen than the return. It is so worth it, a bit narrow at some spots so have a walker ahead to clear the way. 👍
Thanks for the tips! We will always be taking our time on the canals, so much to explore and enjoy! 😊
Thank You for sharing your story, I really enjoy your vlogs!
Thanks Sherri 😊
I experienced my first English thunderstorm in York where there was a little old lady walking up the street telling me there was an awfully dangerous storm coming. I burst out laughing at the pink lightning and apologised to the lady that is nothing like a storm. The storms we get in Queensland with a blinding blue white flash of lightning and thunder that has you jumping 3 feet in the air. She relied "Oh dear that must be awful." I explained how 'strayens love a good bang up storm in the late afternoon to cool things down a touch and we can sleep at night. She exclaimed "That sounds like a horrid place." Only when its all on fire. The look on her face was priceless
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Awesome!
I’m watching from just south of Coffs Harbour and we have been having some awesome storms! But also lots of smoke from a huge bushfire up in the New England National Park, you wouldn’t get that in the UK. Good onya you two, enjoy while you’re young and not tied down.
Good to see you adventuring. I was housesitting and cycling between sits in 2017 and Google Maps directed me along a number of towpaths. Watching people cruising along while enjoying a cup of tea made me very envious. Next time I visit England I’ll be hiring a narrowboat to potter along the cut 😄
Yep, it’s a great way to see the country! We’re loving it! 😊
Crikey, it's the flying chef !
So, Maggie, from flying doctor country, eh !
Say hi to Skippy for me.....
THATs the reason for the flag at the boats stern .. great Vid !
Haha, yep!
2 lovely people
We travel the canals of England each year for approximately six months of the year from our home in Western Australia. Like you we both love it. If you see a boat Called "Many Meetings" in your marina make yourself known to them and tell them g'day from Harley & Shelley. Hope to see you on the cut sometime.
I believe we have seen that boat! Next time we will say hi 😊 It’s certainly a lovely lifestyle, we may cross paths with you someday!
Hi to both, the thing we love most about the UK is the different seasons as each holds its own beauty. You must try winter cruising, it’s been great for us so far. Love Australia too but wouldn’t live there as far too hot. We have visited a few times as our son emigrated there 12 years ago.
Everyone keeps telling us how great winter cruising is! We are thinking about doing it next winter, we will see... We agree about the changes in seasons too, it’s lovely seeing them change, especially the leaves in autumn. Where abouts in Australia is your son living?
When we lived in a house Autumn was just the wet season sandwiched between Summer and Winter and to be honest we didn’t take much notice of it as we both worked a lot. However cruising during the Autumn was beautiful and now one of our favourite seasons. Our son initially emigrated to Sydney where he lived for 5 years then when he got married he moved to Brisbane which is where he lives now married to an Australian.
Thanks for telling us your story. Your channel is interesting and delightful. Don’t stop. You will never have a normal route in life.
Thank you! 😊
watching this hearing your life stories, well I was born in South Wales, emigrated to Adelaide South Australia in 1976, I was 12, it wasn;t until 1989 I decided to go back to the UK to find my father which I did, stayed for 2 years travelling and yes it so go beign so close to the Eu, met a guy to whom now i am married too, left the UK for home Adelaide which I feel is my home then He my Hubby now followed me LOL but for the next 4 years we got married travelled back and force the Uk and OZ, lived there for a few years, but as I was an Australian Citizen had to be back, so said good bye as I didn;t want to lose the right to live in OZ. we also while I was living in the UK did do a couple of Canal boat holidays, loved them we did most of the Rings and four countys So want to do the Llangollan Canal one day, maybe in retirement hehe love watching you guys and Pickle. I think if we ever came back to the UK I would miss my Aussie Rules football. oh and GO Crows lol
, 4Carl - I live in the Great Basin Desert of the U. S. so I understand how unusual rain can be. From the videos I see, Britain doesn't really have weather either. I grew up on the west side of the Great Lakes, My Mother was a Scot from the near northern islands, they get weather!
The north of Scotland and the west & north of Ireland get proper weather.
Great to find out a bit about you both and your upbringing X So glad you decided to come here and we can all benefit from your cooking knowledge, great recipes and enjoy watching your Canal Adventures X Looking forward to your new trips X Take Care X
We’re glad we came too! And glad we had the courage to start doing these videos, we’ve had such lovely responses like yours! Thank you 😊❤️
So interesting.
they do have snow in australia ?and the poms do no what an aprentice is , when i was at the regent of sydney hotel back in the 80s ,we had a few ice carvers , but now they use a lot of moulds just fill them with water , cant put a cray on the barbie in tass to expensive all going to hong kong , china you should of gon to tasmania we have snow and rain ,, safe trip , england is a beautiful place , stunning heaps of history , from one cook to another , bon appetit
Greetings from Australia guys, it's as hot as Hades here atm, wish I was there...
We certainly don’t miss the heat! We will try sending some cool weather your way 😉
Well, if you come, bring the heat with you ;)
I'm in my 50s but had my eye on Darwin since I was 18 !
It is interesting to note that you note that the UK is a "different" lifestyle. Having been born in the UK and lived in Australia, I would have considered the lifestyles similar, except perhaps that Australia is a "bit" more laid back. :D I feel you will enjoy the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct near Llangollen, I have travelled over it in a narrowboat and I see it as one of the seven canal wonders of system.
Yes, I guess it depends on how you grow up and experience the countries that you’re in! We are looking forward to doing the Pontycysyllte at some point.
Nice to hear your back story. You've had interesting lives and will continue to do so, I believe. As for the storms...here in Florida, we have Hurricanes. We don't miss them when they are not here! Keep up the cooking vlogs!
Well, you only live once, so we try to make the most of it and follow our dreams. 😊 Yes, I can imagine that hurricanes aren’t exactly welcome! We get cyclones in Australia and can say the same about those...
Great story and great for you both for embracing life with a slightly different alternative. Looking forward to your spring travels!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Thank you for sharing both of your backgrounds. You are an amazing couple and I will follow you on your adventures from this time on. As sailors say. Wishing you fair winds and little rubbish in the prop. 👍😂
Haha, thanks! 😁 We do like our prop clear of rubbish! 🤣
Enjoying your vlogs, nice to hear your story. We moor at Hatherton Marina on the Staffs and Worcs so we may have been past your boat while you were moored up in that area at some point. We’ll be doing the Llangollen over Easter so our paths might cross!
We tried to get into that marina! It would have been ideal for us at the time, but no space available 😞 oh well! The Llangollen will be lovely, especially at that time of year, we might see you around if we decide to go that way 😊
Hatherton is probably half the price of Aston. Book well in advance if you’re thinking about mooring up in winter another time!
Haha thanks, will do!
Fascinating to hear your story....so glad you’ve settled in so well. We can’t wait to set off on our cruise this year, but like you, prefer to stay warm (although we still have a house) and cruise when it’s not so cold..enjoy your trip wherever you go...love to watch your vlogs....🍷🍷
Thanks Steve, warm weather cruising is definitely more pleasant for the extremities! We might try winter cruising next year... Glad you’re enjoying the vlogs! 😊
We went out early one morning last week, just to fill up the fuel tanks. My extremities definitely decided that they prefer warm weather cruising...🍷🍷
😂😂
Great video 😉 thanks for shearing 👍🏼
Welcome to the UK guys hope it lives up to your expectations......rain is a gimmie......
You probably get this all the time, where's the Aussie twang. Hint now and then in Ryan's voice, but not in Maggie's. I'm moored near Llangollen at the moment, a more pretty canal you couldn't wish for. Nicely complimented by the Shroppie canal, which you need to be on in order to get here. Love your vids so far. Keep them up. And finally, Woof to Pixel.
Thanks Steve! Haha, neither of us had a strong “outback” Aussie accent to begin with, and Maggie tends to pick up on the accents of whichever country she happens to be in! We know the Shroppie quite well, one of the nicest canals we’ve been on so far - although admittedly we’ve not been on too many yet! 😁 Pixel says woof woof back 😉
Loved seeing where you came from, fascinating differences between those parts of Oz and the UK.
We miss the cold of North Dakota😂, we vacationed there last November. It was around -12oC most times, back home in Hawaii, it's now too warm 😂
Sometimes we find ourselves wishing for the heat of Australia... but only when it’s absolutely freezing! 🤣🤣
Great to know your story.... So is this you settling down!!!....😊😅👍
Haha, don’t know if “settling down” are the right words!! 😂😉
Nice change to see the man doing the locks for a change.
We mix it up!
Nice to be able to experience a different way of living, certainly a few weeks in another country doesn't do that, you really need to be there at least 12mths...imo. What a great time of your lives...enjoy to the max.
I can't imagine what it would be like to have the rain and snow there though...winter here (WAust) is long enough for me, just gone into Spring now and I am really looking forward to the warmer weather..:) Will add though....I didn't like living in the north of WA or Darwin, way too hot for me.
Yep, we feel the same about the north, way too hot. Part of the reason we moved over here! 🤣
I didn't realise you wernt from the UK!!!
We hide it well! 😂
Here in Kentucky we have a wide range of weather. Summer might get to 100f, and winter as cold as -5f. And we get the remnants of the occasional hurricane and/or earthquake.
We’re quite lucky in Australia that we don’t suffer too many natural disasters - we get occasional cyclones and bushfires and that’s about it. The UK seems to get even less - maybe a little bit of flooding now and then from too much rain!
@@NarrowboatChef But the piles of mushy peas you are forced to trek thru is hellish
Lee Bruner 🤣
Hahaha that’s so funny how much you love the rain and all we do is moan about it 😂 love you two - I hope we bump into you on the cut one day - look out for NB Hang Loose 😉👍
Haha, well I’ve had enough of the wind and rain for now... just want to get out cruising! 😂 We will keep an eye out for you guys! 😁
Completely unexpected. Lovely
We are treading a very similar path to you guys, after 9 months on our boat Nimrod last year. We have just finished a 3 month work contract in central Aus, which had us working in Kintore, Docker River, Mt Liebig and Ampilatwatja...were back to the boat in mid march with plans to do the Yorkshire canals. So perhaps we will cross paths at some stage.
We are thinking of perhaps doing something similar to you in a few years time - most of the year on the boat, but a few months in Aus during winter. Nice to hear of someone else doing it. We aren’t sure what our cruising plans for this year are yet, but we want to head north and the Yorkshire canals are a strong contender - so we may very well see you! 😊
Feeling jealous Phil, I'm off to Ampilatwatja and Arlparra next week, would rather be heading over to the Yorkshire canals.
@@carriea4868 Great! Are you working at the clinic?
@@philelliott5327 No with the aged care services. We do a lot of support work across NT, WA and FNQ with remote aged care services.
@@carriea4868 Purple house is right next door, call in and say hi to the staff for us, oh and say hi to the donkeys too.
I thought so .. at first i thought kiwis ..but no fush n chups ..😁 jolly good carryon pip pips..
🤣
What an interesting life :)
I love the weather, we get to see all of it :-) would not change it for all the tea in china.. :-) happy travels , Gaz
Yes, it’s amazing to see all the seasons!
Very interesting story about you both, but Maggie you do not have an 'Aussie' accent, you sound very English ☺
I know, I’m quite pleased my “English accent” - even though my family back in Aus tease me about it mercilessly! 😂
Great life story...rain....really lol
😁
That was great backgrounding. Thanks for sharing. (I know, I'm a bit late to the party....:-)
Haha, better late than never! 😁
I did find it interesting. I worked with a guy from Australia, who lived in a place famous for a 4 wheel drive vehicle on a telegraph pole. Does that make sense to you? I think it does to me! I can’t wait for your next video. Thanks as always. 😁
Didn’t take you long to catch up! 😊 Can’t say I’ve ever heard of 4 wheel drive on a telegraph pole 🤔 but then, stranger things have most definitely happened!
A late response maybe but anyway, here goes☺. The 'Landrover On A Pole' (you can Google it!) is in the small country town of Keith, about 200km odd South East of Adelaide in South Australia. The town is on the main highway, Adelaide to Melbourne, but is also the junction point for the main road to the region known as The Lomestone Coast (you can Google that too:-), which amongst other things is known as something of a wine region.
I thought I detected some Aussie accent coming through!
Tell me when you whant to visit north of Sweden...
We’d love to go back to visit Sweden someday!
Almost impossible to emigrate to Australia so why is it so easy the other way around?
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY🐨🐨🍻🍍
😂😂 🐨🐨🦘🦘🇦🇺
Hi guys what do you do for work while you live on the narrow boat. Thanks
Detroit joe
Hi Joe, Maggie has a web design business, so as long as we have internet access, we can work.
@@NarrowboatChef always great to see how people make a living on a boat. GOD always supply's all of our needs
Hmm, 30 hours in an airliner or 30 months in a narrowboat? ... how is that even a question, the boat, of course! :D
😁👍
Where are the Ozzy accents?
Never had very strong accents! We’ve kind of picked up on the English accent a little bit after being here for over 4 years. 😊
Wow I would never of said you were from Australia you sound so English lol
We try to blend in! 😉😂
I am Australian and when we visit UK my wife tells me I 'blend' in half a day. I didn't pick any Oz accent either - same as Annamarie of Narrowboat Experience.
I know an English bloke that sounds more Aussie than them !
You won’t find any “Kook” a burra’s here. 😂
🤣🤣
they do have a kingfisher which is related ,
Ya got lost right?
Richard Deary 😂
:)
You do not sound Australian at all!
Haha, we get that quite a lot! 🤣
