    That low lying fog was indeed very spooky with so little visibility. Love your adventures so much through the beautiful English countryside. Give Shanti a big cuddle from me.

    damp newspaper and the white ash from the fire, used as a paste to clean the glass. The mist, and those paintings, wow. 👌

    Another FAB V-Log folks.. What a serene life to lead too :-)
    When you wet the cloth to clean your fire glass give it a dig in the log fire ash if you need some none chemical added friction to shift harder marking to the screen :-)
    We had chimney to our log burner swept yesterday all ready for another burning season too :-)
    WOW what creative arty farty medium too :-) Maybe too messy for the grandkids until we have a dry day n lots of space outdoors too :)

    • @thefloatinghome17
      @thefloatinghome17  2 роки тому

      Hey Mark! Great idea with the ash - we have actually washed dishes before with ash too as we learnt of it’s antibacterial properties!
      And yes definitely a messy hobby so old clothes and lots of table coverage is essential!

  • @sheilajoseph9953
    @sheilajoseph9953 2 роки тому +2

    Good forage even if you didn't find the best mushroom, I guess if Shanti had a sniff of the mushroom you are seeking you mind find a bounty full.
    Loved the mystic cruise. Lovely art work Lauren.

    Hello you three - greetings from Poland
    I really enjoyed your forage for mushrooms. It's something that most families do here in Poland during September/October. The mushrooms we collect are very varied in type and all come from the forest floor.
    The canal cruise this week was mystical. Early morning mist with the sun breaking through has something magical about it.
    Lovely camera work and commentary guys. See you again soon. Stay safe please

    • @michaelpilling9659

      Just sent you an email with a photograph attached showing the results from last Wednesday of our foraging expedition to find mushrooms in our local forest here in nowe Slupno, Poland.

    • @thefloatinghome17
      @thefloatinghome17  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Michael, I only just had a chance to check your email! Wow that is amazing ! We would love to forage with you one day and learn more about mushrooms - we are just beginners.. thanks for sending that and for your kind comment ☺️

    Hi there. Also found you guys after watching Ben&Emily. Long time multi faith following, yoga practising, meditating, veg growing silversmith and poet so you two have energy that feels kindred 🙏 Anyway, introduction over I popped up here to say WOW! The pour painting. It was incredible. I thought the white bar was obliterating everything at first but what an utter joy when all the colours came through so beautifully - thank you for sharing the process, I’m totally inspired ❤

    Cool. I'm a bit careful about foraging, depending on the weather. I have seen giant soft white mushroom on tree roots where its damp. They look delicious. Lovely painting technique.

    Try cleaning your wood burning stove with ash. Just put some on a paper towel and wipe the glass clean. This will prevent the glass from fogging up the next time you use it so that you can see the fire.

    Nice relaxing vlog, the paintings look amazing, just a tip when cleaning the fire glass, dip the damp kitchen towel gently in the top of the white ashes and it will clean the glass crystal clear.

    • @thefloatinghome17

    If you keep toilet paper rolls or paper towel roll, you stuff them with used dryer sheets and dryer lint. They are GREAT fire starters! The best part is they are all trash items that your up-cycling!

    Romans 3:23 states: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;". We are all sinners, that have committed at least one sin in our lives, which earns us an eternal punishment in Hell. Revelation states 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.". God sent his Son, Jesus, to Earth as a perfect sinless sacrifice. To take on all the sins of the world; both past, present, and future sins. Shedding his blood on the cross as a blood atonement for all sins. After dying on the cross, he rose from the dead on the 3rd day and rose to Heaven. To show life after death. To show everlasting life through Jesus's sacrifice. John 14:6 states: "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.". Romans 10:13 states "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.".
    Eternal life in heaven is just one prayer away. All you have to do is believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on the cross for your sins. As an atonement for your sins. And rose from the grave on the 3rd day. Ask Jesus to save you of your sins and give you eternal life in Heaven. Salvation is a free and everlasting gift from God. Please don't let pride drag you into eternal punishment in Hell, but ask Jesus to give you eternal life in Heaven. If you're getting a strong feeling of resistance while reading this, it's because Satan doesn't want you to get saved. He wants you to resist, and think it's not real. He wants you in Hell for all eternity with him. Hell is not a fun place, like worldly people like to imagine. It's everlasting torture with no relief. I'm only taking the time to text this, because I want to get the message out. There are so many distractions in life keeping people from witnessing to other people. Keeping people from thinking about salvation. Keeping you from thinking about life after death. Please, ask Jesus into your hearts to save you of your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Ask him for a place in Heaven, and he will save you from eternal damnation in Hell.

    Enjoying your Vlogs BUT you do not put episode numbers on all of them. I also find that rather than following on from one vlog to the next it seems to leap anywhere. This is a bit like getting a book with random selected chapters making it tiresome trying to follow the story. For example ''The Narrowboat Pirate'' and ''Foxes Afloat'' have a file that allows us to follow right through from the beginning. Maybe ask them how they do it. Also ''The ...Pirate'' only places her adverts at the start and finish of the vlog so I let them play right through so she gets some revenue. Vlogs that jump in throughout get Skipped and a skipped add is not paid out to you. Thus you do not get revenue and annoy the viewer who just might go elsewhere and unsubscribe.😎 I do like your presentation and film work.

      Hi Frank, We so appreciate this feedback. If we are honest, we are quite new to UA-cam and feel so grateful how fast the channel has grown, however that does mean there are definitely some things to iron out! I will add episode numbers to all of our videos now and also the ads were inputted automatically and only from a couple of days ago so I haven’t had a chance to look into that properly, but now you have brought it to my attention it’s on todays to do list! Thanks for your comment and we are glad you enjoy our videos :)

    A really good tip, go to a butcherand get your beef and chicken tasting items. I believe they would guarantee the flavours that way.
