- I thought I'd try and make a vlog every day for a week to try and answer the question of what we do with our days?

For those of you just joining us, welcome! We're Vic and Jo and we've been narrowboating around the UK for the last few years on our 54ft narrowboat Zero. Two years ago we decided to give up our jobs in the city and add another boat to our fleet in hope of turning it into a travelling cafe and becoming full time boating baristas.
Follow us as we learn the ins and outs of business on the water whilst cruising around the UK.

You have two boats to maintain, a cafe to run, a UA-cam channel, and a toddler. I do not wonder what you do all day. I wonder how you get it all done.
My thoughts exactly.
They have chosen to do all of those things mind. They manage in the same way any busy parents who work manage. If they found it too hard they could, of course, give up making UA-cam videos, but that is how they afford to do what they’re doing. They could get their old jobs back and live in a house if it all becomes too much. Whereas other busy hard working parents - maybe on zero hours contracts- don’t have that luxury do they? You’re watching two well educated middle class people who have actively chosen this lifestyle- they’re not on the bread line are they? That’s how they manage
Very well said! 😊
Totally agree! With my first child, if I got out of the house by 3pm it was a miracle 😂
@@jellslixcy6168Nobody is forcing you to watch these videos. Your disapproval seems like sour grapes.
Phil and I moved onto our narrowboats in our sixties. We lived the dream too, only we didn’t make vlogs. We remember Bugsworth basin and the Peak Forest Canal. We picked up an ex British Waterways butty from Bosley Locks and turned it into the first of two butty craft shops. After 10 years We looked for land and bought 4 acres . It was 3 miles from the canal so we ended up selling the boats and got into self sufficiency ( I remember you mentioning John Seamore , our bible!! ) we planted,veg, a flower garden and over 3000 trees and ran a glamping site . We are now retired but can empathise so much and can only imagine yourselves twenty years on. Love every minute of your videos, thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. Roz and Phil xxx
I am a 26 yr old girl from the Highlands. (Im sure you don’t care about that but thought it would be interesting to know you appeal to a wide demographic) Who used to watch mainly makeup tutorials and hauls etc (embarrassed to admit) But this is my new favourite channel by an absolute MILE. 🥰 I am also standing by the statement that Vic and Jo (and wee William with his “hi guuyss” to every squad he comes across 😢” are THEE most likeable, most genuine couple on UA-cam. I watch a LOT of channels. And there is NOBODY I enjoy as much as these guys. There’s just something about them that makes you want to be friends with them l 😂 and have such a similar sense of humour to me. I don’t think they realise how naturally funny they both are. 😊 really hope they continue posting for a long time yet 🙏🏼❤️ so much love from Scotland 🏴
Ashleigh that's such a lovely comment! Thanks so much 😁 Definitely don't be embarrassed about watching make up tutorials and hauls, all those videos take hard work to make too so I'm sure they appreciate your watching!! Really glad you enjoy the videos 😁
Ps. It really is interesting to us to see who are demographic is and it's always nice to know who we're talking to when we're behind the camera ☺️ Hope you have a lovely day up in the Highlands!
This Nor. Californian feels the same!
I couldn't have put it better myself. I'm 67 and as you say Jo, Vic and Bill have a very wide appeal because they are patently genuine. Oh and very good at vlogging! Thx for all your efforts 😁
55 Horticulturist in Georgia US…just to expand the demographics
Loved it when William said 'hi' to Daddy on videocall & also the sound of a pigeon. So cute & a lovely lifestyle. You don't need a mortgage to be happy. Its society that has brainwashed people that is how you should live but its tosh. There is so many ways you can live & keep yourself going & most importantly BE HAPPY if you think out the box & not what 'society' tells you to do
Well, I'm going to admit to wondering "what do you do all day"?
Apart from... coffee, cooking, cleaning, looking after William, making videos and boat maintenance how much time is left in a day, anyway ?
I hope you like doing a daily vlog, Vic, as this one came as a lovely surprise. Your boat life is very cool and William is learning to speak beautifully.
A real pleasure 😊.
Thank you
I must admit Vic I do enjoy a short daily vlog!, Lovely to see William coming on fantastically! Rosie says that you need a ships cat for everyone's wellbeing! 😊
Pigeons are SO UNDERRATED 😂 we have about 2 dozen who frequent our garden. The shimmering turquoise, violet and aqua feathers around their necks are incredibly beautiful, especially in sunlight. We have so many shades of pigeon... deep charcoal, pale grey, black and white with chevron tail/wing feathers, beigey/pink and blondey/peach. As well as the regular colours. And some white all over. They are clever and adaptable creatures who have evolved to thrive in urban environments. Thanks for your daily blog idea... I don't think I could ever be bothered with all the editing ❤
Have you noticed that pigeons drink water by direct sipping. They do not get some water in their beak and chuck their heads back like most other birds to drink.
Your vlogs are always something I look forward to. They are interesting, beautifully filmed and edited, and your family is a delight. 😊🤗 Kathy
It's not boring at all guys!!! Things don't have to be big/extreme to be interesting. If you like doing it, please go on, I'll keep watching🥰😍
You're going to spoil us!! Two posts in two days!! Hope the three of you are doing well and enjoying the week-end!!
Vic your story telling is really good. Looking forward to your next "What do we do all Day" video. Thank you. Take Care
It’s always a pleasure to spend time with your family, and as as Australian it’s fascinating to see what the villages and towns along the canals are like, as well as get a glimpse into what your life is really like!
It’s an odd thing. My Dad left Marple in 1954 for NZ. He moved to Marple from New Mills as the youngest of 7 in the early 1930s. Living in NZ we never heard anything of it. So it’s been a big surprise to see a bit of it on your channel. Will be visiting there in Sept 2024. It’s been good to see a bit of the area. Last time I was there was 1985.
Wow!
Daily vlogs for a week. Im hooked.😊
William such a sweet bright little boy. 💚
So what we've leant Vic, is that whilst you work all day, then shop for lunch/dinner etc. Jo and Bill sleep and play all day, then eat and enjoy the fruits of your labour! 😜🤣🤣🤣
That was a fun time! William certainly is a growing little boy with a fine vocabulary and the ability to enjoy every moment he’s out and about with his mom and dad. The serendipity of the builder sticking their heads up out of that plethora of trusses and talking to you about Holly the café boat really hit the spot! I loved Jo’s response at the duck window. Is that the duck window? Nope, it’s the duck hatch! Let me know if I got that wrong, please. I’m not gonna Google it. Vic, you really have to do a lot of planning and thinking ahead, whether it’s conscious or unconscious, to do such a thing as film yourself doing things during the day. How’s that for stating the obvious? I happen to be awake at 5:55 AM on Saturday morning watching Denmark and China in the FIFA World Cup game. I woke up on purpose with my alarm at 2:15 AM so I could watch England play Haiti, hmmm, no? Who did England just play? Obviously, I have not planned ahead very well for my comment, have I? I’m going to check the WWW and see who it was that England defeated 1-0. Oh, I had it correct! Now in the next little while since I won’t be doing a video of what I’m going to do all day, I shall eat breakfast; do some laundry; sort through some stuff to trash, donate, or save; possibly paint on different sorts of paper or maybe start/finish a collage; cook some petite sweet green peas; and figure out what I need to have delivered by Instacart tomorrow. Y’all are sweet to let me ramble here, so I’ll say goodbye. Looking so forward to whatever you give us next to view! One last random thought. I wonder what William will think when he visits other little boys and their families, and the daddy doesn’t stop after they’ve walked about 14 feet to backtrack to pick up the camera on the tripod? Couldn’t help but wonder. Do y’all wonder that sometimes? I really will stop now. Goodbye.
I started my day watching your love story over breakfast. Now I have watched this while I have lunch! What will I do at dinnertime! Love your idea os small slices of life, even watching you guys cleaning the boat would be enjoyable because you bring so much pleasure in the way you present every vlog. Take care and see you soon.
Your vlogs are never boring, everyday life is rarely thrilling, but I’m always interested in life onboard. William is getting even more adorable. X
Absolutely love you two. The love you have for each other shines ! William is so smart. Enjoying these vlogs. Definitely a different kind of life. ♥️ @ 72 years young I can only wish I could jump on and off your narrowboat, turn key lift a bridge, bake, raise a child and go out to do laundry, and ride a bike. 🤣 you are living your best life. Until next time …see ya
As usual, I smiled all the way through that, thank you!😄 I have never wondered what you do all day! As well as two boats you have a small child! I remember what it's like just to have time to think! 😊 Nearly spat my drink out at the "vol au vents" comment, Jo.😂 Thanks guys 💜
Vic, you must be the best editor, truly amazing vlog.
In the 1960s we had two boats, the one we lived on and the old bwb boat with a small winch on board, which we scraped a living by roving the canals and rivers, removing scrap and junk and odd bits of wood, (fallen trees etc.) which we cut up for fuel. Long time retired, but enjoy watching all you youngsters creating new lives on board boats now.
Not the first time I' ve heard that the Huddersfield Narrows are difficult to navigate, such a shame its been so neglected over the years when canal boating has become so popular, glad you are
now you are all safely back together. Keep up the good work . Very much looking forward to receiving my copy of your cook book Joe xx❤
Very very clever and eminently watchable! - you lovely peeps!
What a treat to have two videos in a week! 😍
You seriously do not need to justify your very, very busy lives to us. So many of us appreciate the efforts you go to to take us along with you. Thank you from Texas. Leigh
Yes pigeons are underrated. Every year we have one nesting in our false acacia tree and they never succeed in raising the chicks as unfortunately squirrels and magpies are around. Yet she's on her nest again now, eggs we think hatching on 31st.
Vic and Jo....every single one of us human 'beans' (lol) go through seasons in our lives...seasons of growth, seasons of sheer mad busy-ness, seasons of repair and restore, seasons of contemplation and planning, and seasons of just sometimes wait and see... not everyday will be exciting adventure and bliss which I'm sure you know! ... I will continue to follow you every vlog you produce whether it's Vic making a coffee and riding to the shops, or Jo baking cakes and playing with William or the two of you running your lovely cafe...! What I love most about you two as a couple is that you seem to be so considerate to each other with loving good humor and a sense of playfulness. That is such a joy to see. 😘☕🥧🧁🛶(Louise in the Canadian prairies).
At first I thought "Oh 2 in as many days" and then thought "wowzer, every day" I'm looking forward to spending the week with you all.
Your Vlogs = so loaded with talent, creativity, humor. . . and other stuff the words for which I can’t think of right now. . . . can’t tell you how much i enjoy being a part of your family from way over here in New England. Be Well!
I'm always impressed with the amount of content you put out and the quality of imformation! Never disappointed! Love to you three.
Love to hear William make bird noises.. He does very well..Pigeons are lovely.. There are so many different types some more colourful than the next. I live in aus ona property and we have loads of birds visit all of the time. Can spend hours just being with them..Do the best you can with your clogs I love them...
Good morning young man - it is now 6pm in Western Australia!! LOVE seeing your vlogs.......... and laughing already!!!!
We are all very much invested in your family & lifestyle! You're editing is really good & the videos are a lovely relaxing watch. 🥰
like your light jazz !!
Hi again lovely people, I’ve been away, lovely to see you three still doing what you do ! Little William is gorgeous as always, you’re staying in a lovely place, still vlogging thank goodness ( if you ever stop I don’t know how I’d get my allowance of love every week ! ). Keep up the great work, much love to all, X
OMG daily vlogs - this is going to be a happy week for me!! 🤗 (PS I'm 53 year old autistic woman who still feels like a kid and adores your vlogs)
Love your vlogs, Vic your stories are fabulous. Loved your Love Story. Can't wait to receive my cookbook, Jo. ❤
Excited to see more daily blogs from you. Yours are some of my favorite narrowboat blogs.
Real life is always interesting because it is not always exciting and often boring. There is comfort in the rhythm of mundane routines. Thanks for sharing a glimpse.
This was always the trap I feared falling into when I considered Vlogging our adventures on the Trike, that I would have to justify to others our lifestyle and personal choices. The idea of that just felt too intrusive. So I feel it's worth saying that you ought not feel that you need to justify anything, but also, I'm pleased you are, because I could watch you three all day long, lol.
Just being able to "spend some time" with you guys is a treat!
Any DAY IN THE LIFE adventure with your family is always groovy, including this one. Vic what's your favorite coffee?
We always enjoy your videos and while it would be great to have a daily vlog, don’t burn yourselves out and not enjoy it anymore 👍
Daily vlogs are great , hard work editing I bet, but what the hell you have the skill and experience go for it. Young William is growing fast a very happy chappy.😊
I'm still catching up from 2 years ago, when u had just opened the cafe, love you guys xx love the glasses😀
Great Idea, I would like to see what does Willuam do all day too for a week, he is just so cool and loving life. Love It
Good morning..😊 Just love your program..always look forward to it..in the blood greatgrandfather was from Burton on trent..Derbyshire..right by the canals..
Lovely incredible family . I’ve always admired you two. Never wondered what you do all day 💕🥰🤗I applaud you both, I couldn’t do it 🥂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
A soap opera starring people we like living a life that interests us.
That was a very entertaining vlog! I'm not saying your normal vlogs are not entertaining, but this one surpassed them.
Just so refreshing and wholesome- all of you… thanks
Ah, pour over coffee to start the day ... just like me ... only I use an electric grinder--the Fellow Ode Gen 2 (and I only mention the name because I just bought it and am so happy about it). Then I walk my tiny little dog for about a mile, come home and put his toy box on the floor after which he pulls all his toys out. Life is good! As usual, your vlog was charming and enjoyable.
Love your blogs , William is such a joy! Greetings from
🇨🇦 Canada.
50K subs - well done!
Fantastic, really grand, thank you. Am just smiling here, you are such a great wee family. Take care and keep smiling xx
Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, Brilliant idea , makes a real.change to see you doing something other than pulling the boat into the hedge 😂😂, maybe swop of ver too and let us have the odd baking video that would be fantastic, just in time for my book coming too 🤗, Thanks for sharing, Take Care xx
Love your vlogs, it’s like a having a cuppa catch up with mates x
Love these daily vlogs and seeing what you do in a day.❤️❤️❤️
Pigeons are beautiful, so clever. They rely on us to feed them ❤
Exercise, I never fancy it either!
Making videos, all the filming and editing must take up a huge chunk of your time. Nearly as much as being parents eh? Then there's the business too! For us looking in, you seem to have a great life/work balance. Never worry about being boring, you should see our life 😃
Very lovely and glad everything is good after the accident.
thank you for explaining about the cook book love you guys i’ll patiently wait for it 😍
My main thoughts:
1) Your FaceTime call quality looked amazing for a no Wi-Fi home, what is the point of my fibre internet again?
2) The new camera is grading up very well, worth the investment for sure.
3) I’m jealous of the days calmness.
4) Jo in glass! (Same thing happens when my wife wears hers at work I’m like 🤩)
5) I think all this fitness is leading to something ….
Good vlog, thanks 👍
Oh my. What a challenge! Brave lad 🌟. We know what you do all day . Just your editing is fun to watch 😄
William is so bright! ❤️ and sooo cute. ❤️
Great vlog 😊 It’s always lovely to see what you are all up to.
the barking builder did it for me. reminds me of my site working days.
Brilliant idea!! Should I try that..,.I am already exhausted just thinking about it!! 😂😂😂
Pigeons are incredible birds - they are so clever and never get any credit for it
Looks about right. Most people don't really do much in a day, if it's not specific errands for a project and so on. Time just flies and then it's morning again. Good vid.
i haven't even watched this but seeing a video ready to be watched from you makes my day! xx
I love it when you do this, it's a refreshing dip into canal life & lovely to see you all too.
Don't know how you manage to do your weekly video never mind a daily one.
Thanks for the vids and vlogs always interesting
Always enjoy!
'might just have a quick whip round and see if there's any vol au vents' - ha ha ha ha ha ha. Love it!
Omg they have no idea how naturally funny they are I don’t think 😂
@@ashleighmackenzie8670 Agree x
Soo funny this quip!
I've just watched this at 1:00 AM my time, and now all I want is a cup of coffee. 😆
8:30 AM my time now, and I finally had my coffee. 😂 I'm so interested to see what your daily vlogs will look like.
We're reminiscing with you, we used to live in Leicester so looking forward to your walk around in your next video xx
This one seems to be a well prepared unplanned idea 😉😉🥰🥰
I think you guys are great, and love anything you put out. Its always a joy, and you both crack me up 🤣. You guys are rich beyond words with all the important stuff of life and that's what matters most! 🙏💖
Two days in a row! I feel like I have won the lottery. Will we actually, possibly, maybe see you several days in a row? I just don’t want you to tire and reconsider this vlog thing. But your opening salvo was a great start and I look forward (as always) to your next publication. Would you call it a publication? Thanks for taking us along. It’s kind of weird, you going about your day with 37000 people following right behind you. No pipes involved! All three of you treat it like something normal which must take practice
William is such a happy soul 😊
I'm happy to watch anything you guys do. Look forward to a daily vlog.
Thanks for the insight into your day, look forward to tomorrows . 🤗
Brilliant!
Computers form a time vortex. It sucks you in, seemingly for a few moments, but when you emerge hours have passed.
Luv it !!
You do what You 3 want to do! I've never heard you nor Jo ask what are your viewer's do on a given day. Right? P.S. thanks for the previous message on our, I purchased a copy, cookbook. I'm really looking to start 'Cooking.'
A whole week of your lovely faces, yes please. 👏
Hello Vic. It's a bit ambitious to make a daily video and I know how much time and effort goes into the editing process. Whilst it will be great to see you all more often, we will understand if you miss a day here and there. When are you going to open the cafe boat again?
That was a lovely treat :) Thank you x
Excellent-daily vlogs,thank you!x
don't know about pigeons but you two seem to be underrated
sorry three
66 year old from New Zealand. Love your travels round the English countryside, really like your knitted jumper/jersey, would love to darn that hole in the sleeve, is that weird????
Nice to see your daily blog. As for pigeons, Why do they make flying look so difficult!
I’m glad you said that I hate exercising as well. I do with my dog we do 80,000 steps a week I don’t know if that’s good or not
Lovely video, keep it up Vic , by the way Jo’s glasses suit her. X
Loving the video quality of the most recent uploads! New camera??
I think that the weekly Vlogs show adequately what you and Jo do every day ! It's nice to see the rough and tumble of the filming and editing process though, but I wouldn't want to see it endlessly !
If you film endlessly ALL day, then, that's taking something out of the weekly or fortnightly Vlog, The Vlog becomes solely about doing a Vlog.
I like you, just catching those SPECIAL moments with Jo and William, {the important ones ! }.
Then of course there's ALWAYS the ones of you down the weed hatch,
But MOST IMPORTANTLY, ! .......... DO what YOU want to DO !, ..... not what everyone else thinks you should be doing !
Also, Have a great time, ............. like the Art Exhibition, ....... the visits to the Cake shops !
Stay safe !
