      Thanks Susan. Took a day just to edit that part but fun to do and glad all the effort was worth it.
      Perhaps Jan (and her twin) should pop up again sometime...🤔

    Hi Jan and Tony. Really enjoyed this vlog - everyday things to do, but your style, humour and presentation somehow make it seem special. Trish has to take a load of pills daily so she has one of those "daily pills sorter" things that separate each day's tablets into one little compartment, doing away with all the separate packs - she finds it useful, and quicker. Loved the walk - those autumn colours were just fab. Fascinated by the thermal cooker - never heard of those before. Could be a great idea for our caravan - thank you. Stew looked yummy by the way. And what a lovely atmosphere as you both settled down to watch a bit of YT by the fire. Thanks for a lovely video. George and Trish - CaravanningMacs

      Thank you George and Trish!
      Thermal cookers are very handy for all sorts of meals and saves on gas as well 👍

    Nice enjoyable video thanks to both of you. Tony I also take a multiple number of tablets every day. I took them like you do for quite sometime, my other half decided it would easier to get four, seven day containers to match my monthly supply from the doctors. What a revelation this has been, they are all sorted in one go and it’s so easy to see how many I have left. If I have three empty containers and one full it’s time to reorder. You can see at a glance exactly where you are. Hope this makes some sense. Regards Graham and Wendy.

      Hello Graham and Wendy and thank you for commenting.
      I've only ever had the 7 day box and decided not to continue with it.
      However, one that contains a month's worth is far more convenient. Will have to investigate 🔎
      Thank you 👍

    Hi. We love your vlogs. After watching todays vlog we looked up the unusual bird on the tow path. A muscovy duck . Weve walked canal towpaths for year and never seen one. Cheers Nigel and Jo.

    • @MakingNewMemories
      @MakingNewMemories  3 роки тому

      Yes Nigel. He's called Boris.
      Apprently there was a flock (?) of them and they all got moved on. But Boris didn't want to leave and still lives there! 🙂

    When I make coffee in a “volcano” I fill up the whole top with coffee - maybe 10 teaspoons - I note you only put 2.5 in. Interesting. I enjoy you videos especially evening drink time.

    • @MakingNewMemories

      It was only to make two cups of coffee so no need to over fill it. 👍

    That was an awesome episode thank you for sharing.......BUT........I have one question?..... when you took the ash out of the fire where did you put it?. and also love the ending, playing your vlogs and ending it there brilliant thank you, Hubby and I are thinking of doing a utube Vlog over here in Adelaide Australia, just bought a small go pro like camera....

    • @MakingNewMemories
      @MakingNewMemories  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you for your lovely comments Lyn.
      The ash goes into an ash bucket in the well deck and then when full gets tipped into special ash bins provided by the marina.
      GoPros are really good little cameras, the 10 is excellent so I'm told. We use the 7 alongside a few other cameras.

    Hi both, love your vlogs - thank you. Not sure if you are based in a Marina or continuous cruise but, just wondering how you manage doctors and medication. I have to take blood pressure medication and have to have blood and pressure checks every six months. Just wondering how you manage as its a lifestyle we plan to adopt next year. Keep up the good work

    • @MakingNewMemories
      @MakingNewMemories  2 роки тому

      Hi David and thanks for commenting. We have only been in a marina during the winter but will be CCing this year. Thankfully I only have to have an annual check up.
      The doctors we are registered with allow us to take 3 months prescription at a time and we can always order top ups as we travel via the NHS App. Alternately you can register with a delivery service like Lloyds (others are available!) and specify where you want it delivered. Can be a location by the canal if you're not in a marina or a nearby pharmacy.
      As we lived in Norfolk - miles away from the canal system, it was easier to change doctors but you don't need to have a fixed address to register with whoever is your nearest surgery. We have, however stuck with the same one since we moved on board and as it's fairly central I can get there if I ever need a check up.
      As you travel, you can use any passing surgery for any emergency treatment you might need (Jan needed on on the Llangollen.)

    Love your vlogs both! Can I ask, do you use the same amount of washing liquid in the cassette t as you would have done with the blue liquid? Ive heard of this before and are keen to try it to make a saving. Many thanks

    • @MakingNewMemories
      @MakingNewMemories  3 роки тому

      Hi David and thank you.
      Great question!
      Yes, we put in the same amount as we would have done with Blue.
      Our Thetford also has the electric flush, so we add a little bit of flush formula which helps keep the pipes clean and provides a pleasant smell 👍
