    The leaf you were eating is a nasturtium leaf. They are great for adding to salads and they grown easily in UK. The flowers are pretty too.

      Yeah it was nice to get back to our home comforts but we’ll miss the bow thrusters!

    Your boating holiday looks relaxing and fun. The plant at 18:03 is a Nasturtium leaf. Both the leaves and flowers are very tasty in salads and soups :)

    I thought there was some really first class editing on this one. Especially liked the fade out with the time lapse looking back at the boat with it's lights on as it went dark. Also, have to say I just adore the times when Danni is trying to get the name of a town or some other word correct. Priceless

    Great video, love your choice of music in all your videos. I am a French resident and was looking to go back to uk and buy a narrow boat as after 15 years I am feeling a little home sick but after seeing this I wonder if I should give the canals here a go first. Just out of interest, on the manned locks is there a fee or are they all free. Looking forward to your next video.
