If it wasn't for you both & the subject, we wouldn't be here, BUT! I must say which ever one of you does the editing & music.... WELL BLOODY DONE, perfect match for the situation & mood of the shot.
Hi Fran and Rich. Sorry to see you both not been well ,you need some lemon juice ,honey and hot water first thing in the morning, keeps me going.... We love Chester and the shop's nice and near the canal. Take care .🍷🍷
I recommend carrying on to Audlem, turn there before the locks, marina there if you want to top up batteries, lovely little village, moor before the turning point and walk in, lots of walks there for the dogs. Three pubs and a safe lovely place to be. Llangollen is recommended early season, we are hanging around to do it before following your plan.
Hi Tim, that was our original plan but we can't go that way at the moment as there is another closure and we don't want to wait around so it will have to be another time. We think we may save llangollen for the Autumn now.
If going to Buxton, the Opera house is a must to look around. Same designer ,Frank Matchum, who designed the Palladium . Coliseum and so many more Theatres in the West End. Its a gem.
Those Pakoras/fritters are wonderful, I tried them and served them with mango chutney; perhaps one of the tastiest things I've eaten recently along with my version of your coconut curry!
While Fran was cooking her vegetable pancake fritter blobs I was able to see the nice tile job you did. I must say it came out rather well, even if you say you are not handy.
make an double batch of those cooked veggies and put them inside a grilled cheese sandwich, and you can add Worcestershire sauce if you like. I enjoy your videos
With regard to your Welsh Dresser with the gap down the back - can I make a suggestion. Remove the back of the dresser and then fit filler side pieces to cover the gap on both sides. You can then extend the shelves to the back which will give you more shelf space. You can cover the sides of the dresser with some ply to hide the join and paint either the same color as the walls or the same color as the dresser. I think it will look a lot neater and is not a difficult DIY job. Just a suggestion - take it or leave it. Hope this makes sense. This message comes from Heidelberg, Western Cape, South Africa.
Belated happy birthday Fran. -32C at my grandchildren’s the other day, they are in their glory outdoors ice skating and ice fishing. Lot of work for Grandpa to cut an 8ft wide hole 30ft long in the ice to get the boat in, ice is 18 inches thick. 🤣🌊
Theres a order in narrow boat youtubers...... Top 4 ur in it for me... Keep them coming. Out of the 4 u often hit no 1. Dont change a thing thank you for the videos.
I love your bob haircut! Dallas TX. How difficult is laundry on narrow boat. I understand one would have to narrow ones closet to practically nothing, but still, there’s always laundry. I guess what I’m trying to ask is when you fill the boat with water, how long before you have to refill, given showers, dishes, laundry etc.
We tend to do laundry as the tank is filling up which can take up to an hour, then we don't use our stored water. We fill up when ever we get a chance but can last nearly a week if we are careful.
My home city. I bought a narrowboat a few weeks ago and I'm currently heading back to Chester now. Just sitting the weather out outside the Harecastle tunnel until passage through on Wed. :)
Hi Fran & Rich, going to try your pancake mix after today as I have your no knead bread in the oven this morning. I know you don't want to be a cooking blog but up to now they have been very good, so just throw 1 in now & again Fran. Loving your journey.
So good to know your both safe and sound after the awful storms and flooding we had been thinking of you both. Fritters look good Fran, Will have a go today and add a little grated Parmesan on top. Good deal with the broadband btw :-) keep warm and plenty of fruit for those colds. Warmest regards to you both, William
Sorry the weather has marred your visit to the area to a degree (I know you make the best of it anyway), nice up Buxton, used to ride there years ago, nice in the pavilion and gardens, the fritters look good although not cooked proper!, no singing or black bits anywhere (how else do you know when stuff's cooked?), good times ahead the Daffodils are nearly ready to show us a sea of yellow, then all the other wonders of nature will be lining up to show us a vista of colour, moments of just sitting and gorping with glazed eyes (no not from the whiskey!!) but from Gods gift to us all, you can almost just feel that sun on your face if you let your mind wonder then wishing for a cool breeze to come along and ruffle your hair, (wish I could add music now, "Maid with the flaxen hair" would be nice to set the mood. Farewell dear friends farewell.xx
We were not worried about the weather Albert,at least we were in a lovely place. We're heading back your way again, so we will keep our eyes out for a flash of yellow on the towpath x
Did the canals flood with the storms or or they more like inlets and sort of protected. These are the sort of videos I enjoy. All we see on so many videos is scenery. And although your country is stunning, It’s nice to see life ON BOARD the boat, day and night.
It's very rare a canal will flood. There are so many weirs that run into rivers should the water levels rise. We fill our water tank usually once a week and see ep.12 for washing. We also visit laundromats for large items. Thanks for watching.
I’m not gonna lie, we are so nicking that recipe!!!!! Going to try it with Banana Blossoms tonight!!!!...... Glad you’re getting better and survived the storms..... ❤️🌱💚
Video was a lovely end to a wet and windy Tuesday here on the Solent coast. I could smell those pakoras from here ! Glad to know you are both well. Lovely snowdrops. Keep warm. Regards AJ
cracking vlog again guys ,,, your bhajis you made look yum I make them but I don't pre cook my veg just dice it as normal then fry on low heat for 5 mins perfect
Hello from Central Illinois, USA (2hrs S Chicago). Just started watching your vids and love them! Liked this one, I'm going to check-out Chester better. Fran, those fritters sound great, I'll have to try them. Cheers to both of you and the pups 🍻
So glad you survived the storms! The river Thames was very high this morning and the MUD !! The hanging plant was a blast from the past, we all had those in the seventies. 😃
Bugger, we are so disappointed that you are not going to be near the Llangollen next month as we fly out on the 15th of March and were hoping to catch up with you somewhere along either the Llangollen or the Shroppie. Will have to catch you somewhere else on the system. Harley & Shelley.
Hi Harley and Shelley . Such a shame we won't be there. We have just got tired of hanging around in one place. It is supposed to be beautiful there so I'm sure you'll have a great time.
Lovely to see you both hope your feeling better Rich still looks a bit green round the gills (my gran used to always say that when we had been poorly) I have to agree the peak forest is stunning but I am biased due to living next to it. Those fritters looked lovely just passed the recipe to the good lady she cooks school dinners so every chance they will be on next week's menu. Take care stay safe x
Such a lovely video on a lousy day.You seem to be such a well suited couple. Great to see the snowdrops, let's hope the weather improves soon. Have you been on the Leeds Liverpool ? lots of interesting places to explore.
My great-great-great grandfather, who was a butcher by trade was in Ireland in 1792, immigrated to Canada with the family at age54 in 1845 and passed away at age 101 in 1893, he was still talking to people 3 hours before he died in Saint John, New Brunswick, his sons were shipbuilders and may have had a hand in building the Saint John City Market, which looks like an upside down ship when you look up at the roof, there are videos on UA-cam about it.
@@FloatingOurBoat I wish it would, but I had a major heart in November 2017 at 65, my dad passed at 50 with a heart attack, all my mother's side of the family were heart attack too. So I take it day by day, and I'm a 4th generation Type 2 Diabetic for 25 years now at 67 going on 68.
You passed me yesterday. Last boat after the big line of boats before tattenhall I was getting the wood of my side hatches love you’re blogs by far the best couple blogging safe trip all
Glad you're on the mend and on the move. I usually try the dishes you make but this time I don't have too . I make a similar thing and we call it pakora. I just use raw vegetable and I deep fry them in Trex. Makes it crispier. Delicious. The kids love them with tomato sauce which has got to be cold from the fridge.
Hi Rich & Fran hope all is weel with you and the 2 little 4 legged ones :-) Well finally caught up with all your Vlogs fantastic job done by you. (Feel free to post some more lol)
It's nice to see that someone outside the area loves Chester market! It's always been local to us (25min drive away) At Xmas time it's always a go to place to buy presents. In the summer my wife and I will get the train in, meet up with family who live there, then have a few drinks in the Riverside bars, just watching the world go by! With you on the Shroppy canal, it has been a guessing game for me where you are. I usually guess where abouts pretty quickly, before you even say! 30+yrs fishing all along it, you get to know the sights.. ( I've always been a happy angler for towards boaters, not like some of the anglers!) Always have a chat to them, majority chat back, some don't! Always love your vlogs, and your cooking.....
It is great to see some of these old markets not only surviving, but thriving. The one I used to work in as a teenager has recently been pulled down and is being turned into flats. Such a shame as is was a lovely old glass roofed market when I worked there.
Hi Rich and Fran, I am a veterinarian and enjoy your cooking, inspires me, Have been making bread every weekend after seeing you make your several months ago. always enjoy you videos. Rich did you get your drone sorted... John in NZ
Glad to see you are on the mend health wise. It is a gray dreary snowy day here in New Hampshire so those brief shots of daffodils, blooming trees, and other spring flowers were an absolute delight.
I'm glad you got through these damn storms without too many problems, happy birthday Fran, (with a little delay, we can't guess), I hope your lovely dogs are less stressed
The pair of you are exceptional individuals. Always wonderful videos, especially since you show the areas you visit but don't feel compelled to talk the whole time. Hope you weather settles down and you have an enjoyable rest of the winter and forward into spring. Peace!
Looks like our paths aren’t going to cross after all. Once we leave our top secret location with you know who😜, we’re slowly drifting to the Llangollen. Was looking forward to some of Fran’s veggie cooking 🥘
I know, it's such a shame. Would love to meet up with you guys. We may possibly shoot back in April, but will probably leave it until the Autumn now. I'm sure we will catch up at some point. Look forward to it. Xx
Fran & Rich - LOVELY to see you again. - I'll be doing your veggie-fritters for sure .. do you do anything like my Oaty-Pancakes - A scoop each of plain flour & rolled oats (50:50), a splash of oil or melted butter, an egg, milk soy or moo - by the glug to thickness and a t.sp of baking powder & a pinch of salt ? You can add blueberries etc and eat with spread/ dribble of choice. - Just pan fry low heat in a touch of oil until bubbles set & flip over- can be handy when out-of bread eh. Love watching you & the Spring blossoms ..
Hi Fran and Rich....good to see you both so happy and well. Definitely a recipe we’ll be trying. I guess they are similar to blinis...? Stay safe in this awful weather and hopefully we’ll catch up with you soon. Steve and Sue...🍷🍷
Good to hear that you didn't float in to town during those storms. It's usually nice to see flowers blooming, but not when I look out the window and can't see across the street during a snow storm over here in Canada.... No worries, we'll see our flowers blooming sometime in May, hopefully.... Take care
We are disappointed that we haven't had any snow at all this year, but spring is definitely just around the corner now, nights are getting lighter and it feels good.

Hi guys. Top power saving tip: Turn off your inverter. Run everything off 12 volts. Also, buy a battery load tester off Fleabay for about a tenner. Now I'm off to cook keema curry for tea. I may even throw together some onion bhajis. All the best.
Thanks for the video,them fritters look good,will give it a go.looking forward to the peak journey,was up there last week for a wedding,made it just before the storm came in.take care xx.
Saw signs of spring 💐 in your video. Those fritters resemble the recipe for what we call hush puppies in the Southern US. They are made with corn meal flour though. Often veggies are added in. I bet they are 😋. I’ll be glad to see Peak Forest again it IS beautiful
Hi stir crazy very nice blog what time of the year? You should be having bad weather at present floods snow high winds or have you found a sheltered spot?

@@FloatingOurBoat And it was lovely to meet you and your gorgeous dogs at Tilstone this morning🙂. At least now you are off somewhere new at last.
I look forward to trying the pancakes. I have chick pea flour home - I use it for an Ethiopian dish.
You can't just drop that in without a recipe Justine. I'm intrigued x
@@FloatingOurBoat I make Shiro Wat with the chick pea flour - and my own injera with teff flour. www.thegourmetgourmand.com/ethiopian-shiro-wat/ and www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/injera-ethiopian-flatbread-3364733
Fantastic vlog as usual. Glad you all are ok.
Hi guys.
Top power saving tip: Turn off your inverter. Run everything off 12 volts. Also, buy a battery load tester off Fleabay for about a tenner.
Now I'm off to cook keema curry for tea. I may even throw together some onion bhajis.
All the best.
SarkyBugger Yes, some papadem with prata on top of that would be good.
Glad to see you survived the storms. Great vlog
Good to see you are both on the mend. Going to cook Fran's super food soon. Happy cruising the cut. :) XX
They will make a great starter before one of your curries. Miss you two x
Enjoy your travels
Thank you both, pleased you did not suffer too much in the storms. Looking forward to seeing your trip to the Peak Forest. Take care
Spring soon be here.....x
Thanks for the video,them fritters look good,will give it a go.looking forward to the peak journey,was up there last week for a wedding,made it just before the storm came in.take care xx.
Saw signs of spring 💐 in your video. Those fritters resemble the recipe for what we call hush puppies in the Southern US. They are made with corn meal flour though. Often veggies are added in. I bet they are 😋. I’ll be glad to see Peak Forest again it IS beautiful
Hi Debbie. Spring is definitely knocking at the door now. I love the name hush puppy. We may adopt that for ours.
Wow did I see right daffodils out already in the village of Christleton or are my eyes playing tricks
Hi Anthony, the daffodils are just about coming out all around here, you are not seeing things x
Thanks for including the flower videos! Are the little white ones on the ground "snow drops?"
Hi Jo, yes, they are snowdrops, one of our favourite spring flowers.
we are going stir crazy in Nantwich. Can't wait for winter stoppages to end
Only a couple of weeks to go. Hold tight and spring is on its way xx
Hi stir crazy very nice blog what time of the year? You should be having bad weather at present floods snow high winds or have you found a sheltered spot?
Hi Roger. This video is very current. I think we were just lucky and avoided the worst of the weather. We filmed in between the stormy days.
