  • I'm up early for the dawn chorus and enjoy the colour changing sky, and then the rising sun over the hills of the peak district. I'm surrounded by new life! Ducklings and goslings. I take a walk into woodland and discover a rare native white albino bluebell!
    And there's jobs to be done as a boater, from washing up to getting dirty servicing my boat engine.
    The Journey started here... I once lived in the fast lane of life, happily married of 26 years, with two children. That chapter was suddenly shattered by the sudden loss of my wife to cancer, which led me in to depression and homelessness. Waking up in hospital, after attempting to take my own life, with just a suitcase, kayak and bicycle and no money, I've managed to rise up out of the darkness and find happiness and continue my next chapter.
    I'm a self taught film maker, and creating these vlogs, it gives me something to do, share my personal experiences as I continue my journey cruising and living life on the canal. Please do consider supporting my channel below... Thank you Dave

    Dave, I have to admit that your smooth video pans provide such a great relief to the incredibly anxiety inducing shaky-cam crap that has completely taken over tv productions these days. I am so at peace while watching your vlogs. (Sigh) Oh! Loved how that bird just happened to almost completely vignette the sunrise scene @ ts 5:13. Nice.

    It is amazing how much you can tell in a period less than 19 minutes, and with no rush at all. And how much beauty of the British nature along the canals you can show. Thank you Dave for sharing those moments of tranquility and beauty 💕

    You're one in a million Dave! Your in depth descriptions and experiences of the your stunning surroundings along the canal network is very special. This is the right way to fill your soul, you can't get closer to nature than you do, and you bring it to our screens so beautifully. Thanks for sharing your travels. Good health to you Sir. 🙌🫵

    I love that you name the flowers and animals. Perhaps you could name the trees too. We don’t have these where we are so it’s good to learn what we’re looking at. They are all so lovely and made me smile from ear to ear watching them and listening to all the sounds of nature. Amazing video as always!

    David,
    i don't envy people with big cars and big houses,
    but gliding through the countryside in a narrowboat I do.😆
    I also love nature, I'm out of bed at 4 am, coffee in hand and sit outside,
    waiting for the sun to come out
    This. kind of life just feeds the soul to capacity.
    David you put the kettle on the gas, could you not leave it
    on the wood, it would keep it hot, and you wouldn't use much gas to bring o boil
    just a thought from an old girl.
    regards Qld Australia

    • @inspiredbynature3
      @inspiredbynature3  11 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for tuming in. When it's warm weather, you can't have the wood burner on! It just gets too hot in the boat. In the colder weather I can.

      I do realize that, it's just a winter thing I know with
      cost of living thought it might help.
      love watching your videos and your beautiful photography.
      and I'm glad you are in a good place now.

    New subscriber here...I am in awe of the time and care that goes into the filming and editing of these beautiful videos. Found you through EA channel this evening and watched 4 of your videos so far. As someone who lives part time off grid in a little cabin by a river, I know the extra work it takes and how rewarding it is. Before I lost my fiance 5 years ago, we had a slow cruiser and dreams of doing the intracoastal waterways. Now my dream is an RV touring my country of Canada with my kayak....not quite the same as planned but nature is always there to inspire, heal us and help us pivot as required ❤🙏 Just a guy named Dave...thank you! Your guitar playing, singing and song writing is lovely.

    Hi Dave, last December I caught Covid and was quite ill during January, February and March, during that time I watched your videos back to back and have done so multiple times.
    As a Thames based boater myself, watching yours during the winter was a great source of comfort and was what kept me going through some horrible times.
    My covid turned into long covid and it took me six months to recover. I’ve just watched your latest, sat on the back of my own boat, listening to the evening bird song, now fully recovered.
    Thank you so much for making the videos and sharing them.

    Who built these canals when and how?

    • @murdershe......7378
      @murdershe......7378 11 місяців тому +1

      The canals were built hundreds of years ago, they were the transport route in Britain before trains, goods were sent off in boats pulled by horses which is why there is a towpath by each canal as the horses pulled the boats loaded with goods to be sold. The canals are now used by people who live on their boats fulltime or you can hire a boat for holidays and travel along the canal routes which are thousands of miles through Britain.
