    Still trying to catch up! Still watching all videos in sequence! Love them! Your reduce, reuse, recycle way of life is so fantastic to see!….( am working on 8 quarts of strawberries for the freezer, so should be able to watch 5 or 6 videos today! Hurray!!)

      Wow, how many strawberries will be eaten? It is not always easy or even possible to live on a boat sustainably, but we always try. Thanks for your comment

      @@FloatingOurBoat we eat the ones fresh from our garden. These 8 quart I bought at a local produce auction and will be in my husband’s yogurt / granola breakfast during the winter months. Btw, I love seeing your roof top garden, am hoping to se more of that in during my viewing pleasures!

    Lots of laughs as ever. Very entertaining! I think the ladybirds are a bit confused with all this late warm weather. They are looking for somewhere to settle for the winter. Bye for now, stay safe.

    The cottage is lovely but I can understand why you'd choose the boat over the house. Your videos of the places you visit and the countryside are so nice to watch, thanks x

    The cottage looks absolutely lovely. A quaint English village, in beautiful countryside.
    I'd shoot that bloody bell-ringer though. ;o)

    Sorry to laugh out loud at the explanation of the bell ringing, but I had no choice, what with that sound and your caption. Immediately I thought; shades of Midsomer Murders. Someone was always being murdered who was a bell ringer in a quaint village hiding all sorts of secrets. I do love that program in all its iterations! And I love your vlog, every bit of it that I’ve watched so far. Over here in Portland, Oregon, I only found you Friday, today is Sunday. Sweet!

    • @FloatingOurBoat
      @FloatingOurBoat  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you Lynette, so glad you are enjoying our videos. The canals and canal villages/ towns often have a feel of the past to them and a time left behind, much like Midsomer Murders.

    I am so jealous. Thank God for your good health. Yup are able to put up with your typical pains of getting older. Take each day as it. Comes. You can’t change yesterday or see into the future. Live and enjoy your love for one another. The future will take care of itself. God Bless!

    Hey guys absolutley loved this latest addition to the vid line up. That cottage is immense and cosy as per our discussion we may be booking....depending on numbers.
    That stretch was the stretch we first learnt to boat on this summer with our friends Mick and Melissa.
    Keep safe and keep buying gadgets rich 😁 see you on the cut in the future no doubt.

Mind you , if you can look out you can look in :) I had a girlfriend once who thought because You can't see out of the window in a room with its light on then that meant people could not see in that same room .......

    Just a tip for who ever is on engineer duty,any time you do a bit of extra reversing like that is a good time to give the prop shaft gland a little pump up of grease,the shaft spinning in the opposite direction will drag any grease into voids or air pockets missed from constant forward motion.Lovely footage as usual we just did a binge watch after getting back from 5 weeks cruising/diving/fishing/exploring on our boat off the remote Kimberley coast of Australia.Happy cruis'n and give the dogs a pat from us ;)

    Hi guys.
    Thanks for another brilliant vlog. Your cottage isn’t far from me. I live in Hereford. It’s a cute place and the garden is massive. I still prefer your canal vlogs best though. I’m not surprised that you would choose the cut over the cottage. Keep safe.

    • @FloatingOurBoat

    Hi Fran and Rich so what is all this deciding business, Don't tell me you are thinking of leaving us,I for one enjoy your vlog's as I assume that many others do,after all the work you have both done to get your boat shipshape. However if there are reasons then I can understand . My reason to swallow the anchor was age 74yrs at it.What ever you decide Good Luck to to you Both. And THANK YOU.
