Little shoots... I dare not swear in case youtube moans at me. Thank goodness they did not actually jump on the boat. We've had kids jump on the back and kick the doors then run off. Think this is some weird craze, they do it to houses too. It does unsettle you though. I can handle myself, but no way do I want to take on 10 or so kids who are bored and likely think they have nothing to lose or have simply given up. Glad you got past them with no damage and you were able to find an ok spot for the night.
Haha yes! Not sure how UA-cam handles profanity 😅 They were shouting saying they were going to jump… it was pretty intense but glad to get away unscathed. It’s sad to know that’s how they entertain themselves by distressing others. But we carry on regardless! 😊💪🏻
I know this is an older video, but as someone who has anxiety. Something that my friend told me really helped - never get too tired too hungry or too thirsty. Hearing you say that you were thirsty after hearing the tap run reminded me. Eat rest and hydrate ❤ 🙂🐿❤️🌈
You can totally remove anxiety by not eating! I started fasting a year ago, and I'm off all bipolar meds and bpd meds, as well as getting rid of fibromylagia and reversing type 2 diabetes. Fasting focuses the mind. We aren't meant to eat three or more times a day. I eat once a day maximum and feel great 👍
yes as someone who travels a lot by myself in my teardrop camper I am always aware of were I park and yes people around does make it feel a bit more secure glad you are both ok
What's a shame is them kids most likely have lovely parents who would be mortified to see this behaviour. Sadly, this is the next bunch of adults. The good thing is most of them will learn (we can hope) and become better people. The main thing is you guys and the boat is okay. Love the vlogs of usual, so real life... dishes everywhere etc haha. When I first moved into my first flat many years ago, it was so small, I was like yer I'll keep this clean........ Nope! the smaller the space the bigger the mess :) But it's a long day for you having to fuel, empty, top up, move, drama, then clean........ nah that can wait till tomorrow :) Chippy!!!
That’s very true. I think a lot of kids can be really different around their friends than at home. Hopefully the majority will turn out good in the end 😊 like you say, we’re safe and unscathed and that’s all that matters! Haha yep! It’s messy more often than not, so we’re keen to show that as much as possible! At least it’s quick to tidy up as well as make messy 😅 when in doubt, get chips 😂 x
Hi Amy Wes thank you for saying I got the comment of the week well pleased to hear you say that you both made my day thank you both so much,John 🌹🐣🐥👀👌👍🥰🥳🥳🥳
So sorry you experienced those lowlifes. So scary! Sometimes pointing the camera directly at them makes them scarper (or at least think twice). What a shame the crazy hosepipe couldn't have been doing it's thing right at that very moment and soaked the lot of em! Rufus is such a beautiful dog, he's got an adorable nature. x
And a shame they couldn’t direct their energy into more positive ways. Showing off, thinking they’re hard/cool. It’s really not. I hope they see this video and the messages. Grow up. When you bumped into the other lads. It felt like a perfect example of the yin and yang ☯️ off life! Really enjoy your videos and spirit towards life. Such a lovely couple. Love from Louise in Worcester 😊
I work with kids…most of them are amazing but it just take a few naughty ones to blow your whole day. I’m pretty sure your good intentions brought the nice kiddos your way.
Thank you so much both of you!! I really appreciate your videos as they really help me deal with anxiety and stress!! You are a really lovely couple and i’m so sorry that it happened to you, hope you and rufus are feeling better now! Thank you 😊
Thank YOU so much for watching 😊 We are glad they help! Anxiety is something we are very familiar with and understand 💕 We feel much better now about it thank you! Away from the area moored with some lovely boats so feeling better :) Have a great weekend! x
Hi Amy, Wes, I really feel for you with regards to the issues you have had to put up with this week. It cant have been nice for you both. Sadly there are some strange people about. I hope Rufus has fully recovered. Hoping Rupey is OK too. Congratulations on winning the mooring prize, even though you would not be able to use it. Many congrats for finishing off one of 2 loans, you must be so pleased about that. I enjoyed your shopping trips too. Did you go to get chips then? I hope you have a much better week this week. You are two lovely people. Take care.
Thank you! It was so stressful but we got there in the end. And both Rupey and Rufus are fine too 🥰 It was so typical we won the prize we couldn’t use but we were happy to pass it on 😅 We’re over the moon with getting one loan out the way. Just one to go! 🥳 We did get chips in the end, as we often do 😂 Thank you for another lovely comment, we really appreciate you! 🥰❤️
Glad you are both ok after such an ordeal..really feel for you both it does make you feel a little vulnerable. so glad that Rufus is doing well after his op. Such a brave boy...Warm yourselves a hotchocolate.... looks yummy, take care x
Hi guys been watching from day one love it. I have been boating since 1983 had stones thrown at me golf balls aimed at us. Unfortunately the worlds full of the oxygen stealing people but you handled it well. Don’t let the scum get to you just keep at it. Ps don’t normally comment as I watch on my smart tv. Keep up the good work. X
Thank you so much for all of your support, that means so so much to us! ❤️❤️ Wow! A real veteran of the canals then! It’s very true. We’re trying to brush it off and carry on. The positives still massively outweigh the negatives. No worries for not normally commenting! Your viewership is appreciated regardless 🥰
Wow Amy and Wes that was an eventful vlog. Glad Rufus has had his teeth sorted. Sorry you had to put up with those lads messing around and throwing a stone at your home. I’m glad you pointed out that not all teenage kids are bad and your faith was restored by meeting some good ones. Hope you have a great weekend. Take care. Nick
Hey Nick! It sure was eventful… quite stressful but we got through it as always! We’re very careful not to generalise based on bad experiences although it can be hard. The two nice kids were so sweet and really did restore our faith again. Have a lovely weekend and thanks for the kind words as always! 🥰❤️
Hi Amy/Wes, love your vlogs as do a lot of people who follow you guy's. Don't let these moronic idiots dampen your spirits! Your a lovely couple and your cruising exploits with Rufus and Rupee give a lot of pleasure to people like me! Glad Rufus has recovered from his dental ordeal and back to his jolly self. Take care and stay safe...
Thanks Gary, that's very kind! Our spirits are back up after some very exciting upcoming stuff 👀 so feeling much better now! Thanks for watching as always, we appreciate you 🤗
Glad Rufus recovered from his dental treatment. Shame you had to encounter those twats on the bridge but at least meeting two youths that were nice instilled a bit of faith that not all young uns are up to no good. I think its time you bought and cart to carry your shopping save on getting a backache. Love to both and pets. ❤
Yes rufus was so brave! And we were relieved he didn’t have to have any teeth removed - I’m sure he was too! 😅 Yeah it was quite a stressful experience but we were so grateful for the two nice kids too. Felt like fate! Yeah we agree regarding the cart… it has been recommended a few times for good reason! 😅❤️
Washing clothes is so easy in a house compared to on a boat, it must be the number one orrible task to do, then trying to dry or air it. Isn’t there somehow a way to build an airing cupboard or rack around the heater flue? Well done for showing us the warts and all of life on a narrowboat. Yes get yourselves a trolley to save your back.
Yes agreed!! I think you possibly could, but it would take some craftsmanship… a good idea though! We do sometimes just hang hangers up around it. Thank you! 🥰
Bless you both your Dutch a great couple. So glad rufous is ok. So kind of you to give back your prize. How you have more of a relaxing time. Take care
Came across your channel by chance when looking for narrowboat monthly spending vids, ended up watching 4 hours worth last night haha, gunna go to the start and catch up.. you're both fantastic keep it up
Hello 🌻I love watching your videos dont let the negative boys pull you down thers more nice people in the world relaxed and have a lovely hot chocolate love from Australia 🇦🇺🌻🌈🌻
I thought today how funny would it be to see Wes chopping wood for the fire with a chainsaw. Then it struck me that would be INCREDIBLY dangerous and could possibly result in loss of fingers and or limbs!! I was thinking about this because Friday is boat time day!
Hahaha! I think you might be right there. Who knows whose limbs would be lost 😂 Aw thank you so much for watching! We’re so glad we’re able to entertain! 🥰
I was with you all the way on this vlog .Yes l’ve ended up in hospital after being hit by a brick, shot at and worst still had to wash my clothes but it’s all part of the rich tapestry of life .Take care guys 🤩
As others have said, a very lively vlog. Kisses to sweet Rufus! It seems that since you both do lots of sitting at the computer, especially Wes, it would be advisable to do some specific back exercises, strengthening and stretches now so that you don't get serious back problems or get injured when doing the strenuous boat duties. Maybe visit a physio therapist? Stay safe and well.
Thanks for watching Michelle! 😊 Wes does do a lot of sitting but the chair we have is very comfy and he gets up regularly to stretch it out and have a walk around. Take care xx
So sad to see you having to deal with those idiots. However, like you said meeting the other sensible kids made things a little better. On a lighter note did like the look of those pasties and knowing that you were 20 mins away from a chip shop was good to hear. Take care guys all the very best.
"My pocket just broke" and "Peppa pigs got a Wide beam" 😂😂 you couldnt write Wez's classic jokes. The youth of today (not all) are not just mischeivious they can be so disruptive and nasty 😞 You got through it like you always do and will. So happy Rufus was ok after his op, his little face when he saw you 🐶 thank you both for another eventful vlog i really did enjoy it. 💙💖🐶🐰
Haha! Wes is very happy knowing his silly remarks are appreciated 😂 Sadly yes, there are a lot of disruptive people about, but it was nice to have it balanced by the two nicer kids too. Thank you for watching, and for the kind words! 🥰❤️
@@BoatTime Oh i forgot to say that i never win anything either, but my raffle ticket was drawn out in an Easter fair when i was a little girl and i was so excited to receive a lovely big easter egg... but nope my prize was half a dozen eggs 😟 my mum was pleased though. 😂
Glad you were feeling better about things. It can be a bit intimidating and having people nearby is good. A while ago I was moored up and had some kids on a bench nearby huffing nitrous which was sort of ok until they started throwing the canisters at the boat. I texted a few friends and a load of them turned up at once with torches and ran the kids off. 😊
Hey! We watch your videos 👋🏻💕 Yeah we have been feeling a lot better being moored by other boaters again for sure! Sorry you had those issues, so glad you had the friends nearby to come help! Kids are so annoying 😤 Stay safe xx
Hi.just watching your latest vlog. Hot chocolate. Love it myself. Always have a large supply on my boat ( GANDERS ASH ). Try Sainsbury's own brand drinking chocolate. Only £1.40 a tub,and the beauty of it is you don't need to use your milk supply,just hot water. Don't get the light version though, it's a bit sickly. Regards Nick.
Hello from Shanghai, China! I am considering relocating to the UK, and after watching your videos, hmmm.....maybe living in a boat seems to be a good idea (frankly, I just don't think I could handle that by myself)
I hope the bad kids got a good taking to. The police should be called. No one boating and living on their home should be scared or threatened. If the kids are not reprimanded the threatening will get worse.
Hi troops, I love your adventures. I too have had people jumping on my boat in towns and I love being out in middle of nowhere away from idiot land people. I have a BB gun rifle on board incase things ever get really bad. I also use a 5 litre petrol can for my water top ups. Good luck with your wiring and batteries and if you ever need free electrical advice then contact me, I could probably advise over the phone or Facebook. Stay safe and happy cruising.. capt Dave aka capt Black. Xx
Ooo thats scary, we dread the day that ever happens 😟 We prefer the countryside too! Thanks for the offer thats so kind, we really appreciate it! 😊 Thanks for watching, take care x
My Asian brothers and I were treating like trash growing up in the UK. Racism, splittings, and beatings, we ensured it and triumphed. We had stones thrown at our heads! I still have a constant reminder of a stone thrown at my face....two broken front teeth. British people will never change. Never.
why use the wash motor! Buy old fashioned plunger or a sink plunger, soak them in the tub, plunge a bit, rinse if possible and plunge as required and done.........then dry
I don't know if anyone has mentioned to you but most of those scruchy type hoses are not considered safe for drinking water, as the elasticiser in the rubber slowly leaches out into the water. If yours said it's fine for drinking use, then there is no reason to think its not. But also I would not like the idea of someone having potentially issue with their drinking water, and I did not say something.
@@BoatTime It's hard to know what most of those filters do/don't filter out. I have one on the filler hose, on my motorhome. No idea what it filters out, but I guess it filters out somthing. I know since I've started using it, I nolonger get that odd film, you sometimes get on your tea. So that's good.
I've just subscribed to you,what a day you had and those morons with the bricks 😑 I would of been tempted to grab his foot as well,thank goodness you met the other lads,these are the kids that need rewarding I'm pleased you gave them a ride on the boat,I hope rufus is feeling better ,Take care ❤😊 x
It’s no coincidence that we ban parents rights to give their kids a clip around the ear and the first generation reach adolescence and think they’re untouchable, I don’t play by those rules. Put me , my belongings, my family at risk and in danger and I’ll do whatever is necessary to defend the situation. You have the patience of saints!
I’d throw that hose away, get a food grade hose, put it on a hose lock winder, and get an in line tap, which you can turn on and off near your your water filler. Those extendable hoses are not supposed to be used for drinking water.
Hey guys, scary situation really as you could have took action physically or verbally and to be fair it would have probably resulted in many more projectiles being thrown, the youth really don't care as they know they are untouchable, needless to say I think keeping calm was probably the best thing as they could have followed along beside you. My wife and I really respect how you handle your difficult situations. On another note, what broadband do you recommend for Cc'ing? And costs per month please? We are getting there slowly, just waiting for the right boat to come along. Good luck!
Yeah agreed! We thought if we reacted it might’ve caused them to pursue us… thank you for the words of support! 🥰 We use a 4G EE Sim, with a Huawei b535 router and Poynting aerial. We’re actually planning on making a video about our setup so watch this space! 😊 That’s so exciting!! Good luck! These things shouldn’t be rushed but it’s also worth the wait! ❤️
@@BoatTime I still laugh when I watch the scene after your bit of a bump when coming off the Trent(?). Wes is surveying the damage inside the boat, noting the dirty dishes that had been clean and put away, and that the lettuce had gone off because of the crash. Gets me every time. Thanks you two.
I hate the trouble you had. I would love to move over and do it full time just like you and bring my adult son along. I don’t think he would enjoy it as much as I would. But a woman alone I worry about things like what happened to you. As far as I know your not allowed to have a weapon in England? Hope that is your one and only problem ever again. Congratulations on the prize what a nice thing to do be regifting back. With the new kettle could you heat the milk with out the top on so you can see before is boils over? Please show us the bird feeder on the next video I love the idea. Do the marinas sell duck food? Can’t wait to see y’all out on the go again visiting new places.I to enjoy looking into different stores seeing what random it’s they might sell. Stay safe out there. Susan
We know of a few female solo boaters so it’s definitely doable! Its just extra steps to take like mooring with other boats etc to consider Hope you get to do it one day, whichever way you do 😊 we have lived on the boat for 10 months and this was our first bit of trouble. Ah yes that’s a good idea not putting the lid on, why didn’t we think of that haha 🤦🏻♀️ Will try and get some clips of birds eating the seeds, so far not seen any but the seeds are going somewhere 😂 Have a great weekend xx
@@BoatTime it’s easy for others to come up with ideas like leaving the lid off. You two do the hard work of filming and doing all the day in day out activities showing your life. Very brave sharing with everyone as I’m sure not everyone has the best things to say.i truly enjoy watching can’t wait to see what the pets are up to and the both of you of course. I will live vicariously through yours and others videos. Thank you,Susan
All was going so well, especially with Rufus being fine after his teeth procedure. I don’t understand why kids delight in being so stupid and being nasty to people like you who are just going about their normal way of life. One hopes they grow out of it but unfortunately another lot take their place and it all starts again. Please don’t let it spoil your future adventures. Take care x
Usually its just them showing off in front of each other on who can do the craziest thing. Hopefully they will grow out of it and dont do it to anymore boaters! All is good now, feeling much much better 😊 Thanks for watching 🤗xx
Cowards come in packs, it can be a demeaning experience, especially as a male, but just know they have not faced life yet, and we all know how it ends up for lads like that.
There was probably more kids than the video showed but I counted 7 you went from saying 10 I think then a couple minutes later you said 20 so I am a little confused

What a brilliant idea, jumping onto the top of a narrowboat as it's about to go under a bridge! The logic defies me.
I know this is an older video, but as someone who has anxiety. Something that my friend told me really helped - never get too tired too hungry or too thirsty.
Hearing you say that you were thirsty after hearing the tap run reminded me. Eat rest and hydrate ❤

Ah that sounds awesome! Its good to be vigilant for sure 😊
Thanks for watching! Stay safe
I hope You have had a better time cruising this week. It must have scary with those kids throwing stones. I dread that x
Thank you!💕 this was our first time we’ve had trouble in 10 months so fingers crossed it was a one off 🤞🏻thanks for watching!! X
@@BoatTime that’s good then. Hope to see you on the cut now we’ve left the marina x
What's a shame is them kids most likely have lovely parents who would be mortified to see this behaviour. Sadly, this is the next bunch of adults. The good thing is most of them will learn (we can hope) and become better people.
The main thing is you guys and the boat is okay.

Stay safe xx
@@BoatTime I watch yours now too! 😁 Really enjoyed watching the latest one and glad to have found you!
Good job these challenging days don’t happen very often x
Very true ☺️ it’s all worth it overall x
Lovely boat, lovely people (puppy included). Great video... Totally subscribing :D
Thank you so much!! Welcome aboard ✌🏻👋🏻
There are no bad places…only bad people.
This is true! I like this
Hello Wes and Amy so sorry to see this happen there is no logic with stupidity SMH
Yeah it was scary!! But thankfully we left unscathed 😓
Hi.just watching your latest vlog. Hot chocolate. Love it myself. Always have a large supply on my boat ( GANDERS ASH ). Try Sainsbury's own brand drinking chocolate. Only £1.40 a tub,and the beauty of it is you don't need to use your milk supply,just hot water. Don't get the light version though, it's a bit sickly.
Regards Nick.
Cant go wrong with a good hot chocolate! ☕ Thanks for the tip!
thanks for watching, take care 🤗
Great Hayward is lovely. Have the six months there!! Over winter....
We decided to give it away to someone else as we are continuous cruisers all year round 😊
So sorry this happened to you. I understand why it is upsetting. 🤗
thank you! 🤗 feeling okay now! thanks for watching x
When we were on the water same thing happened to us, caught the person he will never do it again
Oh dear, it’s always funny for them until it’s not 😬👏🏻
We found a paint ball gun a great deterrent especially if you freeze the pellets, yobs know to not mess with us lol
But what if they chase you 😣 haha great idea though!
Hello from Shanghai, China! I am considering relocating to the UK, and after watching your videos, hmmm.....maybe living in a boat seems to be a good idea (frankly, I just don't think I could handle that by myself)
Hello! 👋🏻 Wow, Shanghai! You might be our furthest viewer! Amazing 😊 Love that!
Its a great life, but it is difficult and not for everyone 😊
I hope the bad kids got a good taking to. The police should be called. No one boating and living on their home should be scared or threatened. If the kids are not reprimanded the threatening will get worse.
This was fantastic. Missed you guys. :)
You need a fully loaded super soaker for the stone throwers.
Haha we were tempted for sure! But it'd probably make them worse 😒
That’s very scarey ! Did u report it to the police with the footage ? I would. I expect they’ll know of them. Stay safe and best wishes
Thank you! We didn’t actually, if it had caused damage we would’ve done! Maybe we should 🤔 take care x
My neighbors are gang members, their kids are feral, I understand how you felt. Love the beanie tho.
Thank you! ☺️🐮
Hi troops, I love your adventures. I too have had people jumping on my boat in towns and I love being out in middle of nowhere away from idiot land people. I have a BB gun rifle on board incase things ever get really bad. I also use a 5 litre petrol can for my water top ups. Good luck with your wiring and batteries and if you ever need free electrical advice then contact me, I could probably advise over the phone or Facebook. Stay safe and happy cruising.. capt Dave aka capt Black. Xx
Ooo thats scary, we dread the day that ever happens 😟 We prefer the countryside too!
Thanks for the offer thats so kind, we really appreciate it! 😊 Thanks for watching, take care x
My Asian brothers and I were treating like trash growing up in the UK. Racism, splittings, and beatings, we ensured it and triumphed. We had stones thrown at our heads! I still have a constant reminder of a stone thrown at my face....two broken front teeth. British people will never change. Never.
why use the wash motor! Buy old fashioned plunger or a sink plunger, soak them in the tub, plunge a bit, rinse if possible and plunge as required and done.........then dry
Haha that is a good method! But we love our trusty washer 🧺
I don't know if anyone has mentioned to you but most of those scruchy type hoses are not considered safe for drinking water, as the elasticiser in the rubber slowly leaches out into the water. If yours said it's fine for drinking use, then there is no reason to think its not. But also I would not like the idea of someone having potentially issue with their drinking water, and I did not say something.
Oh we've not heard that before, but that's a really good point, thank you! We do have additional filtration on board, but that's really handy to know!
@@BoatTime It's hard to know what most of those filters do/don't filter out. I have one on the filler hose, on my motorhome. No idea what it filters out, but I guess it filters out somthing. I know since I've started using it, I nolonger get that odd film, you sometimes get on your tea. So that's good.
I've just subscribed to you,what a day you had and those morons with the bricks 😑 I would of been tempted to grab his foot as well,thank goodness you met the other lads,these are the kids that need rewarding I'm pleased you gave them a ride on the boat,I hope rufus is feeling better ,Take care ❤😊 x
Welcome and thank you so much for subscribing! 👋🏻😊
Rufus is doing great thank you!
It’s no coincidence that we ban parents rights to give their kids a clip around the ear and the first generation reach adolescence and think they’re untouchable, I don’t play by those rules. Put me , my belongings, my family at risk and in danger and I’ll do whatever is necessary to defend the situation. You have the patience of saints!
I’d throw that hose away, get a food grade hose, put it on a hose lock winder, and get an in line tap, which you can turn on and off near your your water filler. Those extendable hoses are not supposed to be used for drinking water.
We’ve already got an in-line filter! And don’t have the space to store a big hose winder! But thank you 😊
Hey guys, scary situation really as you could have took action physically or verbally and to be fair it would have probably resulted in many more projectiles being thrown, the youth really don't care as they know they are untouchable, needless to say I think keeping calm was probably the best thing as they could have followed along beside you. My wife and I really respect how you handle your difficult situations. On another note, what broadband do you recommend for Cc'ing? And costs per month please? We are getting there slowly, just waiting for the right boat to come along. Good luck!
Yeah agreed! We thought if we reacted it might’ve caused them to pursue us… thank you for the words of support! 🥰
We use a 4G EE Sim, with a Huawei b535 router and Poynting aerial. We’re actually planning on making a video about our setup so watch this space! 😊
That’s so exciting!! Good luck! These things shouldn’t be rushed but it’s also worth the wait! ❤️
“Peppa Pig’s got a wide beam.” You are the best. Hang in there.
Haha! Wes was particularly proud of that joke 😂 thanks for the kind words they mean a lot! ❤️
@@BoatTime I still laugh when I watch the scene after your bit of a bump when coming off the Trent(?). Wes is surveying the damage inside the boat, noting the dirty dishes that had been clean and put away, and that the lettuce had gone off because of the crash. Gets me every time. Thanks you two.
@@Onegoldstarisenough hahah 😂 thank you! Glad you love his silly jokes!
I hate the trouble you had. I would love to move over and do it full time just like you and bring my adult son along. I don’t think he would enjoy it as much as I would. But a woman alone I worry about things like what happened to you. As far as I know your not allowed to have a weapon in England? Hope that is your one and only problem ever again. Congratulations on the prize what a nice thing to do be regifting back. With the new kettle could you heat the milk with out the top on so you can see before is boils over? Please show us the bird feeder on the next video I love the idea. Do the marinas sell duck food? Can’t wait to see y’all out on the go again visiting new places.I to enjoy looking into different stores seeing what random it’s they might sell. Stay safe out there. Susan
We know of a few female solo boaters so it’s definitely doable! Its just extra steps to take like mooring with other boats etc to consider
Hope you get to do it one day, whichever way you do 😊 we have lived on the boat for 10 months and this was our first bit of trouble.
Ah yes that’s a good idea not putting the lid on, why didn’t we think of that haha 🤦🏻♀️
Will try and get some clips of birds eating the seeds, so far not seen any but the seeds are going somewhere 😂
Have a great weekend xx
@@BoatTime it’s easy for others to come up with ideas like leaving the lid off. You two do the hard work of filming and doing all the day in day out activities showing your life. Very brave sharing with everyone as I’m sure not everyone has the best things to say.i truly enjoy watching can’t wait to see what the pets are up to and the both of you of course. I will live vicariously through yours and others videos. Thank you,Susan
Hi just subbed. Are you fellow vegans? Love how you love ur dog so much. Peace 🧚🏻♀️
Hey! Welcome 👋🏻 We are!! Woop 🌱 Amy has been vegan 10 years, Wes has been vegan 6 😊
kids out my front think my picture window is the back of their net
Ah that sucks! 👎🏻
Beware those hose get thin walled and then burst.
Ah good to know thanks Jan! Will keep an eye out 😊
Assault is Threat of Attack, you were Assaulted and the boat was Battered by rocks.
Thank you for understanding! 🤗
Can you ask on computer about area you can stay safely.
We do usually for mooring spots, but as this one was just passing under a bridge on route it couldn’t have been planned :(
Mean kids every where
Unfortunately 😞 but lots and lots of lovely ones too!
What if use the toast plate on the fireplace for your choc
The stove didnt go too well when we tried haha but we plan to get better at it next winter!
All was going so well, especially with Rufus being fine after his teeth procedure. I don’t understand why kids delight in being so stupid and being nasty to people like you who are just going about their normal way of life. One hopes they grow out of it but unfortunately another lot take their place and it all starts again. Please don’t let it spoil your future adventures. Take care x
Usually its just them showing off in front of each other on who can do the craziest thing. Hopefully they will grow out of it and dont do it to anymore boaters!
All is good now, feeling much much better 😊
Thanks for watching 🤗xx
May moon narrowboat had her boat right vandalized check out her channel
We saw! 😱 such a horrible thing to happen
Is the solar panel ok
Luckily no damage! Thank god
The thing is guys, it’s not logical.and that’s why there is no logic or understanding about it.✌🏻
True! Thanks for watching 😊
Feral kids. They know nothing will happen to them.
Deference between UK & US In US those kids would have been looking down the barrel of a shot gun.
15 or 20
There were about 15/20. We obviously didn’t count them. There were more to the side on the towpath off camera
Cowards come in packs, it can be a demeaning experience, especially as a male, but just know they have not faced life yet, and we all know how it ends up for lads like that.
There was probably more kids than the video showed but I counted 7 you went from saying 10 I think then a couple minutes later you said 20 so I am a little confused
Hi that's pretty nasty what canal are you on
It was on the Erewash canal! We spent a few months on there and that was our only problem, it is still a lovely canal! 🌳
Toilets : If its Yellow, let it mellow. If its Brown, flush it down ( or equivalent ). Never heard of gloves?
This isn’t necessarily the case for cassette toilets they are different to regular ones
Thats why most buy a boat to get away from the scum of Society keep chugging along and forget about the scum.🤗
Thanks Andy! 😊
kids don't develop Empathy [frontal lobe] until around age 7 or 8, so tweenies are psychopaths with no critical thought sadly
Haha didn’t know that fact!
Kids are like old people... you can't batter'um. Society frowns upon it unfortunately.
