- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Freezing on a narrowboat, woke up to ice on the windows after the fire went out at night. Ice and -7 outside, 2 degrees on the boat. Our narrowboat in the snow looks more magical than ever, we waited two years to see Alba in white!

Fun fact; The Thames stopped freezing over because they built the embankment for the tube and sewer which condensed the Thames and sped up the water flow which stopped the freezing over.
this is not true
It still freezes over upstream above Teddington when it get below 8 degrees for a few weeks
I worked on the Thames in the 1970s and 80s and it froze over a few times at Hampton
@@joeconnolly89 January 1963 was the last time the Thames froze.
this was like my childhood, waking up in winter temperatures in the early minuses, with a thick layer of ice in the inside of my bedroom windows, and then helping my dad make the coal fire
Wow, where did u grow up? Also, how old are you? So much has changed is a short amount of time. I used to be amazed at what Jack Frost used to do to our windows as a child . You never see windows ice over anymore and I’m only 55.
When I was a lad in the early sixties, we lived in a big Victorian house with no central heating or double glazing. In the winter, I would wake up with the inside of my bedroom window covered in lovely frost patterns. I would sit there in my pyjamas and draw patterns in the frost and don't remember being cold.
-12f here in Minnesota today with 30mph winds. 🥶 Still went out and filled all the bird and Squirrel feeders. 😊
Thanks for looking out for our little friends ,,I feed them every day and had great karma back 👍
We have been seeing on our news, here in England, how cold USA is at the moment!!. we think we are cold when we go a little below minus and have a few inches of snow!!. Greetings from london..
@@maggie2759 😊 So true, its all cold below -0.
Glad to know there are others watching in Minnesota
Good on you feeding the wildlife even in those conditions your atrue champion ☺
First rule of winter boat life is never let the fire go out!
I'd be up every 4 hours putting some fuel on. They would only need to get up once each lol. Great life though.
Hi , Im Polish women living in uk (12 years) but I’m hearing you talking in your language and is like Polish and Russian mixing together . Slavic soul 🤘🏻
Lovely watercolor pic. We are at 10F below but its sunny and we have lots of sparkling snow!
Oh wow! Love it when its cold and sunny! Happy holidays Susan 💜 xx
For a Good Fire,
Mix Coal & Logs.
A Little of each Alternately.
The coal will Give the Heat & the Logs will Give the Flame.
2 much of Either will make the boat Too Hot then too cold.
Feed a Fire Slowly & Often. for Constant Heat.
Very talented and gifted.
Hope everyone has a great holiday season and enjoys the simple things like critters and family. 😊
Hi Troy,we should all take time out and enjoy the simple things in life, Merry Xmas everyone 🎉🎉🎉,life maybe a bxtch but not alot we can do about it.
Have a wonderful festive season Troy 💜 xx
Back in the 70's I remember waking up to glass of water frozen, and the toilet bowl frozen. There were times in the 60's when the water pipes froze and split. We were on a lake in Central Ontario, Canada. Some nights we were woke up by the Ice on the lake splitting with a ZINNNNNG!! and heaving up.
I've often wondered how our ancestors survived in caves with rudimentary heat and fur blankets. Glad you were prepared, and not taken by surprise. I've subbed to keep track of you :D Happy New Year, 2023...
Merry Christmas to you guys. I have followed Kevin on his channel Country house gent since the beginning. I love Kevin's videos. I have decided to subscribe to your channel because I am humbled by narrow boating life in the UK. Here in the United States, our canals are in ruins. My name is Aaron, and I am glad to be aboard! :)
Merry Christmas⛄️🌲 to you both 🙂. Thank u for all the hard work this past year in making these vlogs for us.

Hi
Just found your channel. Loved the video! I used to live in Sweden and miss the snow, not as much as in Russia but generally from late December to March. Loved your life style, living in a cottage myself, empathy with Myles carrying the coal, bless him. Subbed too!

henley on Thames I love the place I made music clips there, I never knew winter that would be so beautiful
Hi, this is the first time I've come across one of your video's. I must, say it was beautifully shot. I visited Yekaterinburg in February about 10 years ago...that was cold!!
That was my bedroom windows every morning when I was young ☺
As always, the most soothing voice on the water! Thanks and Merry Christmas from Spokane Washington.
A Happy Christmas to you both. Super winter videos.

Merry Christmas Stevan 💜 xx
Privet from my Russian wife... And Merry Christmas from both of us..
Merry Christmas to you and your wife, thanks for watching 💜 xx
Just up the river from you near Abingdon. Had couple of early 5:30-6:00am starts on site during the recent cold snap. A couple of mornings were -10C. Not quite Russian like, but that's pretty cold for our part of the world. Did see -18C a few years ago. Made the skin burn that! Stay warm! Merry Christmas to you both!
Merry Christmas lovely 💜 xx
Merry Christmas. It is 7F here in Michigan. 15 inches of snow and still blowing.
Merry Christmas Barbara, thanks so much for watching all year, big hugs 💜 xx
I used to make press stamp and never worked for me. So glad to see old skills still going on making own cards its such a talent.
In the late forties and early fifties when I was a Child, having Ice on the inside of our Window Frames was nothing unusual. Before we went to bed my Mother would iron the Sheets with an Iron full of hot Coal from the Fire. If we were cold my Father would put and extra old Coat on the bed. My two Sisters slept at the top of the bed and I was at the bottom with my legs facing up. I learnt to swim when I was two.😂😂 I am 79 now so it did me no harm. Our bodies are meant to work hard, not be mollycoddled.
Looks like irish weather love a cold morning
Merry Christmas and happy New Years from Canada!!!
Happy holidays lovely 💜 xx
Merry Christmas, it has been a joy see ya'll evert week !!
Merry Christmas Donnis 💜 thanks so much for watching every week xx
Love the video 📹 ❤. Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄. Really love your tree so Beautiful 😍. Does your pipes freeze when it is that cold 🥶. How about your water in storage.
Nope never had frozen pipes or water tank, thank god!
Thanks.
In my cabin , I have a wood fired slow combustion firebox... I modified it, Theres 4 runs of 1 inch pipe that keeps the 300 lt hot water system nice and hot... And theres a 10 cm pipe that runs all the way through with a 90 degree bend at the end.. On the inlet end theres a little 12 volt hi flow fan from a computer.. That blows toasty warm air all night long.. As long as I put a small log in before i go to bed and another around 4am..
When you can see your breath ,that's cold ,a quick swim in canal will warm you up 🥴
Lol too far to walk
Very peaceful video !!! In awe of your caligraphy and art skills .
Merry Christmas. Stay warm. We're expecting -7 later here in New Jersey wind chills -25 to -30.
Merry Christmas Pete 💜 xx
I love the cards. Thanks for the videos. So enchanting.

Great video...sounds like the bearings are worn-out on your diesel heater
I hope you manage to keep the damp out of yr stuff, mold is bad for us, but really bad for everything else too. Sending warm thoughts.
Welding gloves work for our wood stove to prevent burns, and permit good handling.
Merry Christmas to you two as well! I love watching your vlogs!
I wish my wife will want live on the boat:D it's nice freedom
Have a merry Xmas, from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
My mom has some Christmas tree deco's that are easily 50 years old or more. But after my dad passed away she stop putting up Christmas stuff. We still exchange gift's and have a good meal but that far as it goes.
The trees beutifull so is the snow cold is ok and your artistic skills are cool as think anyone would love a hand made card like that hope youz had a lovely christmas and hope new years tops
Lucky lady
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...-22⁰C here in Wisconsin, we are experiencing what they call a Bomb Cyclone. Pretty horrible.
Thanks for sharing this with us. Have a wonderful holiday.
Cold..I have been on the canals and rivers for 25 years from Lancashire to london.been frozen in place solid for months before
Marina when is the next one due? Missing the two of you and your adventures!
👋i hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity love and peace 💞❤️🕊️🕊️ all over the world! Happy New year 🎆 🙏🌍
I'm originally from Canada currently living in California ☀️☀️and you where are you from if i may ask?
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year
I used to live in a flat where the only source of heating was a stove, it was hard to keep it going overnight, it was so cold in the morning..
Looks like a canal barge in England. Where in England is this? Tbh 2 degrees Celsius ain't bad, in day nice fleece as long as it's dry will do and at night go to sleep (whiskey or 2 get you warm).
It's a really cute christmastree 🤶🎅
Thanks so much 💜 Merry Christmas xx
Very different to my experience of Henley in 2022 on a glorious summers day.
Been there, done that, except all I had were two small room heaters to keep a 50 foot houseboat "warm" during a week of -15 degree F weather. Three layers of clothing, two pairs of socks, furry slippers, gloves - I survived, but it was all day. I didn't have a furnace or a wood stove!
Well, I like your 80s watch 👍
Hehe thanks 💜 xx
Wishing you both a very happy Christmas.
👋i hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity love and peace 💞❤️🕊️🕊️ all over the world! Happy New year 🎆 🙏🌍

Merry Christmas
Same to you Gitte 💜 xx
I would love the frost fairs to come back along with deep snow in winter making Christmas proper also seeing the shops close at 12 noon 24 December and be closed fir at least 2 days. We really do not need all this silliness. I do wonder how in 1970 and 1980 we managed to get ready for Christmas with no Sunday trading and very few late night shops.
We do need to take a step back and reset society
Lovely video you 😊 happy new year
Merry Christmas Myles and Marina best wishes for 2023
Thank you for a lovely diary of your day. Have a happy Christmas.
Thanks for watching Richard, merry Christmas 💜 xx
I'm sure I've seen that boat in kinver or cookley? I'm not sure but, I've definitely seen it somewhere
Lived on my boat for years bought a Bluetooth heater so I could switch it on with my phone in the morning so the wheelhouse was warm by the time I left the bedroom lol one winter the gas had run out it’s a catamaran so spare gas was in the four front deck lockers it was covered in a foot of snow couldn’t remember which one it was in had to dig out two before I got it the hose freezing up was biggest bug for me
Would love to live this boat life
I bet you would probably hate it in real life 😩
Have a great Christmas and happy new year 🌲🌲❄️❄️☃️☃️
Your Christmas tree 🎄 looks stunning. How lovely to have a home made card. Have a wonderful Christmas and great New Year .❤
My friends house was 4 degs.c. without heating on!🙊
2c is really cold indoors but you get similar if you camp out in a tent.Well beneath human comfort which is 21!
Merry Christmas wrap up and stay warm.😀
A happy Christmas to both of you and also see you into the new year. John.
I'd love to buy a canal boat fair play to ya girl you ever need any wood to burn we just skip it working on m25 at the moment
