    Well done girls. The 'narrowboat experience' the experience is starting to show. I was taught a lesson at locks by a very experienced person who lived and worked from his widebeam. Coming downstream, he stopped briefly to get off and open the gates (Bardney Lock btw). Just tied a thin centre rope throwing a few turns around a bollard. Opened the gates and went in on tickover. Leaving his boat in gear he got off, opened the lower paddles. Cill is topside gates. Once emptied, he got onto the boat, putting it in neutral. It drifted back and he opened the lower gates, back on the boat, took it out and tied it as before. I offered him a cup of tea, which he excepted and we had on my boat Wud E Nuff. I learned a lot that day .

    Those bridges really made for an uplifting experience. Flowers on roofs? I guess, however cluttered they make the boat look, at least the cats won’t have to leave the boat to do their business. They can scratch the dirt all over that new paint job.

    I have a full on life with lots of stress as a paramedic and an advanced life support instructor, your and CC’s vlogs have convinced me, I am looking for a boat and I’m going to spend my down time on canal time as soon as I can get a boat for my wife our dog and myself 👍

      Glad to have helped. It is actually quite good for mindfulness. I watched a duck family for 5 mins today. Doesn't sound like a long time, but it was lovely to just focus on one thing at a time. Also thank you for all your work you do as a paramedic. x

    You two are delightful to watch. I’ve been following you for a while and would check in periodically. Now, you have become an important mainstay in my watching habits during this coronavirus lock down. I enjoy watching the playful exchange between the two of you and the occasional expressions of affection that you share on screen. Thank you for being you and sharing your lives through your Narrowboat Experience.

A compromise would be to have a couple of pots by the back door and in the cratch - lavender would be nice so it would smell lovely on a summer evening through the bedroom.

    @davidcollins9512 5 років тому

    How goes the Hooning off the Llangollen Canal - well from this vlog, brilliantly...
    Problems with growing flowers on the roof I think would be:-
    1. Possible obscuring of the view.
    2. Constant need for watering - oh wait, you are back in England now & going into Summer - so it will rain every day!
    3. Water damage to the paintwork on the roof.
    4. They will just get established - then get de-headed in the next tunnel or low bridge.
    5. Increased wind resistance.
    6. The cats will be tempted to use the soil (self fertilizing though!).
    7. Potential colour clash with the paintwork.
    8. There is no point eight - cancelled due to lack of ideas.
    9. If you get them looking really good people might think they are plastic.
    10. Increased risk of them getting stolen by passers-by.
