My narrowboat life inspired by nature - VLOG 93
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лип 2024
- Two months of cruising the cut in all weather, whilst listening to Andrea Bocelli. I've been making my way off the Macclesfield canal and on to the upper peak forest canal and stopping off, mooring up and enjoying the magnificent views and wildlife. At furness Vale, my boat comes out of the water, into drydock, where my narrowboat home hull is blacked, and I spent time re painting the roof and other parts of the boat. After my stay in drydock and short stay in the marina, I cast off and cruise up to Bugsworth Basin at the end of the canal. Here, I enjoy not only its history, but it's beautiful nature and wildlife.
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

Love the colour scheme , home is where the heart is ,wether you live in a cave ,a giant box , it looks great inside , you get to see some great buildings and what not , i often think what would i get a camper van ,a barge or both if i had the wealth 😂 in a way you feel unplugged from the system ,the daily grind 🌞🙌

Hi, thanks for tuning into my channel from the Pillow channel. Thanks for subscribing 🙏 Dave
Thank you! I really enjoyed your video! It was interesting to learn about how people live on boats in the UK. Great blog! Health and prosperity!
This what UA-cam is all about. We experience a limited amount of the 4 seasons in our short time. Nature always knows best. It’s sad to know most humans are not in tune with nature . A world consumed with greed human greed. Thank you for your channel, it’s a rebalance and a reset for me and hopefully others too.
Enjoy this lovely living pace.
I think these six years have been a real enjoyment and nature at its best.
Will be following you,take care❤

Hello Bianca. Thank you 🙏 Dave
Good morning sorry for my english because im Italian
I live in the countryside between Modena and the hills very near a river and I understand what you say.
The nature is wonderful when I need to relax and regenerate myself I work in the vegetable garden or I walk into the river in the past , in October I fall down and have a big brake of knee with 4 mount of wheel chair and still now use 2 crutches
I show your story on the pillow youtube channel and now I look your video and it s great so i write something to you
Have a nice day
CIAO MARCO, sono della provincia di reggio emilia, i nostri paesaggi di collina non hanno nulla da invidiare; ma questo canale e' davvero bello. ciao e riprenditi.
Hello Marco. I'm sorry to hear about your fall. Sending you love and I do hope you heal 🙏 Thank you for connecting, and I'm pleased you enjoyed watching the video. 🙏 Your English is good!

Si è vero I nostri passaggi sono egualmente belli
Ciao e grazie ma ci vorra ancora un anno o due prima di guarire completamente
@@inspiredbynature3
Thank you very much
Dave, your images that you share are world class! People often ask me how I can spend so much time fiddling in the front yard weeding and tending to my garden. I tell them no one talks back and it is less expensive than therapy. Good enough reasons for me. Thank you for another peaceful and entertaining video with the dry dock information.
Hello Dave. Beautiful video. Like 👍 Great channel, I subscribed, 🙂
Thank you for tuning into my channel and subscribing 🙏
@@inspiredbynature3 You're welcome friend, hope s. too, 🙂
Dreamy. I'm about to be made redundant and videos like yours make me so envious. They show me there is so much more to do with our life than being a slave to a wage and 9 to 5. At the same time though, you need to have some decent savings in order to be able to give up the shackles of work and start enjoying life and every minutes nature gifts us. Sadly I have no savings and just debts and redundancy will be a final nail. But for a few minutes, thank you for your dreamy video. ❤
Thank you for tuning in and watching. I've been through the same many years ago. Have faith change will come 🙏
There are ways. But I hear and feel your panic. Reach out to become a live in volunteer, ie " Project Kamp'. There is so much out there that you can join in, just reach out. ❤ Blessings to you ❤❤❤
You know how to bring and film nature , absolutely gorgeous Thanks 🙏
Isness returns!! :-)
Thank You so much for sharing this video, I grew up by canals and I absolutely love them, so relaxing. I`m making dinner whilst watching and when you said what bird would I be, I shouted "A Robin" and you said the same. Your video`s are so relaxing and I often watch them more than once imagining myself there, you are so blessed to have your boat. I`m amazed at how you can capture fantastic images.
🙏 🐦 😃
Another wonderful episode
❤❤ ❤ Dave 🎉😂❤
Enjoy this lovely living pace,Dave.
This isvreal enjoyment and nature at its best .
Is it the dame boat of the beginning or a new one.
Anyway,it looks so beautiful with all those flowers ❤❤
Ciao Dave,sei fantastico.ho visto il video di the pillow proprio ora e mi sono iscritta al tuo canale.saluti dalle Marche -Italia
Hello Anna, I'm pleased you've connected with me and my channel. Thank you for subscribing 🙏 Dave
@@inspiredbynature3 🙏
First time I have seen this channel. Introspective, engaging, and quite lovely to watch.
Welcome aboard! Thank you for tuning in and watching 🙏
Dave
Lovely video. Full of beautiful nature ❤
questo video è pura poesia
Last week I had a heavy stomac surgery in hospital, I enjoyed the video's, and keep my mind on your beautiful video's and forget the pain, thank you Dave🙏🏼
Wishing you a speedy recovery 🙏
Dave
@@inspiredbynature3 ❤️🙏🏼
What a lovely way to relax. The Peak District is beautiful, stunning views.
The music you've created is sublime. Outstanding. It accompanied the video scenery with so much peace. Just love what You do and share with us. Appreciation from Hawkes Bay NZ 💚🌏💚
Caro Dave spirito libero incarnato in un corpo ti mando il mio amore e la mia buona energia, il posto dove vivi e' super, fai buon viaggio, anch io come te sto facendo un viaggio su questo pianeta, quando vedo che ci sono persone che escono fuori dagli schemi mi sento felice.. Molto belli i video, capisco quasi nulla di quello che dici, ma mi piace quello che vedo.
Thank you for your kind words and watching my videos. I mostly talk about my connection with nature. I talk about being in the stillness and tranquility, where my mind is clear, at peace and I'm at one with everything. A place we call the now. Although I go into the past, it's only a lesson in life and I attempt to live moment by moment. Nature takes me to that place. I share my experiences with the world. 🙏
Dave
Content seems to be getting better every time! (by my eyes haha). Slower paced, more nature, more relaxing. Love it. Keep up the videos!
Just maybe it's because I've had more of me space in between May and June 😃 Slow is good 🙏
@@inspiredbynature3 Haha, your dead right. Time / space to yourself - the most creative drug of all hah! Yes loving the slow pace of the videos, quite a few seem to go down the 'dramatic' route these days, but not for me hah!
Ciao.
Hello 🙏
Fabulous viewing and so relaxing .The life style beats any lotto win . With their feathers , fur etc nature always ensures wonderful neighbours .I'm back in UK ate this summer and looking are what else but narrow boats .-) Like 90 and 👏🏻 from Helena
🙏
Bellissimo poco fa ho visto suo video fatto da Andrea Le Auguro tutto bene del mondo .Saluti❤
Thank you 🙏 Dave
😮 Wow Dave, really enjoyed this week's video, so lovely to see you again, and well worth the wait, nice also to see your lovely 🌹 friend.
Talking about little birds I also think you would be suited to be a Robin.
I had some bad news of my own a month ago my Dad died and he said he's going to become a Robin too
😢😢😢😢.
Take care Dave ❤ X X X
Aww, sorry to hear about the sad news of your fathers passing. 🫂 ❤️ pleased you enjoyed watching the latest episode 🙏
Love the sunset and music. All the flowers and trees are beautiful. Such a peaceful time spent with you. Thanks
Beautiful

Hi Dave another lovely and peaceful video. Thank you 💙
Hi from South Australia Dave ❤
Beautiful as always.
Another Mindfulness session done, thank you.
Mer, Jan and our rescue silky terrier Arki xxx
Loved your video, as usual. They bring some calm to my busy life. The filming and photography is stunning. I’d say you was a swan in a past life - you’re so calm and serene. Looking forward to your next one.😊
Thankyou for the kind words. Swan, nice 🙏
Hello again ☺ I think you are probably a Heron Dave. Grey (in a good way), wise, patient and forever watching. And judging by how often it's with you by the river, maybe your Totem bird, you should check it out 🤔. There's a great book called The Language of Birds (will try and find the name of the author). Also we can throw in an Oyster Catcher for its beautiful haunting calls in the night, and for our east coastal heritage. Haven't been to Bridlington since I lost my beloved husband, but I will one day. The boats looking fab. Wonderful gentle vlog, thank you.
Sending love, light & Solstice ☀️ and full moon 🌚 Blessings 🐞🌻🌺🐝 xx
🙏 Heron a wise one 😊
Glad to hear you are releasing your music.
It is absolutely beautiful!
Hi Carol I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Thank you 🙏 Dave
Hi Dave, loved this video. Beautifully created. Have a good week. Love peace happiness to you. K ❤🙏
Very nice as usual Dave.
Thanks Trev 😊
Hello, I somehow just discovered your channel. I follow a few of you as you wined through the canals from here in America. I am in my mid 60's and I guess what really stirred my attention. Was your mention of Pink Floyd. Dark Side of The Moon is more than likely my favorite album, even though I have enjoyed Another Brick in The Wall very much. I am in the Appalachian mountains of East Tennessee, we are a small community, " or was when I was growing up here." We were more mountains then, and I appreciate the feeling of being alone with nature. Each animal, bird, flower, and tree have something to teach us if we would pay attention. I have become a subscriber, and I do hope to watch more content as time will allow.
Thank you Paul for for tuning into my channel and subscribing. And thanks for your comment too. It's sounds real nice where you are 🙏 Dave
I can see you as a robin, but, perhaps, you were a chickadee: a bringer of joy, positivity, and cheerfulness.
😃 🙏
Totally beautiful
😍
