Our Diesel Stove Broke AGAIN on our NARROWBOAT! | Life on Lavender Lee - EP 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- This week our problematic diesel stove breaks again, leaving us to face the cold winter temperatures alone on our narrowboat home. In more cheerful news, we re-grease our stern gland tube for the first time and do other DIY painting and explain about some elements of off-grid living.

👋 IN CASE YOU ARE NEW HERE - Hello! We're Izzie and Ciara! In the autumn of 2023 we moved out of our tiny rented London flat and bought our new home, a 62ft narrowboat called Lavender Lee. Join us as we explore our new life living afloat the UK canal network while we teach ourselves to renovate our home!
🕵️ SOLVING A MYSTERY - For reference, Izzie is the one with curly hair and Ciara has straight hair.
Lots of love,
Izzie and Ciara x

This boat was my Nan and granddads! Many years ago and they are D&D Mould. They lived full time on it and I spent many summers travelling the canals around Shropshire and the surrounding areas! The stories I could tell of our trips on here! Many many happy memories!
So lovely and AMAZING that you have managed to find our video! How wonderful! Its so nice to hear about the boat's history, and we would love to hear more stories about your trips. If you ever fancied sharing more we'd love to chat just drop us an email at winterpidgeon@gmail.com 💗
@@IzzieandCiara I was searching for photos to show my children as my youngest didn’t believe they lived on a boat. It’s lovely to hear how it’s going to be refurbished! I remember greasing the prop each morning before setting off, leisure batteries dying while out, inverter failing - all while enjoying the British countryside! I’ve sent your videos to my Nan and she couldn’t believe it was still travelling under the name Lavender Lee with their names still on the back! She said she’d love to see it when it’s all done! Good luck to you both. I’ll share your email with her and I’m sure she’ll share some stories!
Hi again.
I did a video on our stove albeit a lockgate refleks - might help? 🤷🏻♂️
You seem to have done a lot of the things I would do to rectify it but maybe have a look at where the stove breaths from (it needs to be able to have air coming into it for proper combustion) the air intakes can get blocked up with dust, fluff etc.

@@nbspudley Thanks for watching/replying again! I will definitely check out your video. We have someone coming to have a look at it and do some investigating at the end of this week so fingers crossed it will be back in action soon!
Absolutely love seeing you both each week. Love the singing. Beautiful
I lived on a boat for 3 years, I got rid of my diesel heater it was nothing but trouble. Got a wood burner instead. Check out The Narrow Boat Pirate, Heidi is a solo continuous cruiser, currently having fun in Spain, I am sure she will have lots of useful advice to share. Enjoy boating its great fun with a good community spirit. XX
Shame about the stove, but I'm sure you'll get it sorted. You seem capable and resourceful. You will gain experience and remember most boaters are happy to help or offer advice, so don't be afraid to ask.
You can do this Xx
Every week I wait to see what you will bring, you never disappoint.as always thanks.
Their's always going to be jobs to do on a boat. Its all about problem solving and learning new skill sets but I'm sure you'll be great
Sorry to hear about your stove problems, hopefully get it fixed soon, I am enjoying watching your progress. Good luck and stay healthy. See your next one soon.
We've had someone out to fix the stove today, so fingers crossed that all goes according to plan 😬
Aw Good luck with the stove, hope it gets fixed soon. Good to see the painting g progressing too. 👍🌻
You two are charming! Nice job on the stern gland and the music Izzie.. Do you have any plans to do some serious cruising?
Thanks so much for watching Mark! We have a video coming out this week about the BIG cruise we did when we bought the boat. We are also about to head down to Watford this week and beyond. We plan to explore the Oxford when our work permits us in the autumn too! Happy cruising 😁
I hope you manage to get the stove fixed
So frustrating on the stove front but well done for getting into the belly of the beast and tackling the stern gland 😊
Was a surprisingly straight forward job for Lavender Lee!
Love this!! ❤️❤️
