Our Summer on the Canals
Happy New Year! Call us fashionably late, come hell or high water we're gonna get through our Summer footage and enjoy the memories with you all! This is some of our pootle along the Ashby Canal. We love making these home movies of our narrowboat travels and we're excited to see what new things await as we continue our cruise around the Leicester Ring.
We're here for all that this lifestyle throws our way, taking advantage of the joys of narrowboat living as much as we can and we're always grateful to have good folks like you along for the ride.
All the good vibes,
Mel & Paul

And we're back! Here's a little of what went down for us in May! This one sees us get stuck into our Toyota Proace van conversion, exciting, and slightly overwhelming times! This is a solution for Paul to live in when he is a away at work and so we'll no doubt bounce back and forth over the coming months between boat life and finishing the van! 3 days of the first stages of insulating the van a...

NARROWBOAT Bathroom Renovation
Просмотров 4,5 тыс.2 года назад
Hello again! Here's a little of what went down for us in March! Mostly it takes place over a week of work on our boat bathroom. After discovering our gulper was leaking due to a rusty screw, we had a boat full of water to sort out and a floor to rip up so we could remove the shower and get to the pump. Paul tackles all the details for you here, and there's the little extra chats with me (Mel) t...

This week it's just me! While Paul is away and hard at work - doing what it is he does with planes.. You get to hang out on board Annabelle with me!

    Im having to go into dry dock to have exactly the same weld done on a Liverpool boats rudder, and exactly the same it was supposed to be done by the seller after survey, it was one of 2 key jobs the seller faked, seems to be a thing in boating, dishonesty, and similarly the seller did a sh.. job of blacking the boat so im getting it blacked also, couple of grand down after less than a year

    Would have been nice if you asked advice, no you can't paint at night! You paint when it can dry! Someone would have told you that, the trouble with being a talker and not a doer Mel is that you can talk that poor guy into trouble, it's painful to watch narcicist at work, poor guy 🤦‍♂️

    Happy New Year! Such a lovely break. I sit here in Colorado, looking out at our beautiful snowy scenery with yet another session in the tractor of scraping away at the ice in the driveway. Winter is def a “thing” whether on a boat or on a farm! We got this! Hang in there! I wish we were looking forward to another holiday in the UK out of Sawley Marina. Sadly, not this year.
