Julie & Martin on Rhapsody in Blue
Великобритания
Добавлен 26 янв 2008
In 2021 we sold our house and bought our NARROWBOAT floating home Rhapsody in Blue.
We continuously cruise and travel the UK Inland Waterways in our tiny home, showing canals and rivers just the way they are and how we see them. We see wildlife on the way and travel through some stunning scenery.
We are living our dream, it’s not always perfect and things do sometimes go wrong, but thankfully those times are few and far between. We love this slow pace of life on the water and we try to show this in our videos …. no dramas, just our life as it is.
Come along with us, as we share our cruising journeys with you. xx
If you would like to support our channel, you can buy us a coffee here, thank you! ❤️

Can’t believe we got SEVEN? | The Perfect STORM! | NARROWBOAT Living Ep125
We arrived at Tixall Wide in our NARROWBOAT floating home, and was greeted with an unusual sunset, but as the week progressed, the sunsets just got better and better, just wait til you see SUNSET 7! 😍 We have a thunderstorm that lasts for hours and hours, and even see it lighting up the boat at night! Martin goes fishing and catches a whopper! We meet up with friends, go to a fantastic TASTY farm shop, have a very WET CRUISE to get water and move moorings four times!
Hope you enjoy this video 😃 xx

Fabulous shots of the sunsets and bird life. What bait do use when fishing? Do you eat the fish? What is the size of your water tank? And last question - where are you?
Fabulous! Love the sunsets and scenery, and for you to see so many friends was wonderful. Thank you for sharing with us xx
Hi guys Great place to stay ...we loved it ..nice to see some quality bream on the bank 😁 what bait did you use?
You sure had some rain wonderful sunsets its been very hot here AC working hard still its Summer best to you both from me & the budgie Bluey ❤❤
Most serene seeing Martin relaxing back , totally love your vlogs Merry Christmas to you both
Hi Julie & Martin, To use Julie's expression WOW!! What great photography and content. I love painting skies and your sunsets are fabulous, and complete with reflections. I got a little concerned with the threat of more storms and you holding that umbrella. As an angler myself, I envied the bream Martin caught. Even the roach wasn't bad, as they don't grow that big. What a lovely GSD. My favourite breed. We had one, and her father was the German equivalent of our Crufts Supreme Champion. The difference between Crufts and the German show is the German Champion has to pass an obedience test as well. We couldn't show our dog because she had a medium length coat, and at the time, Crufts didn't allow them in shows. I believe they have changed the rules now and allow them in. Just thought I'd share that. Looking forward to Monday. Keep safe and well. Barry from Essex.
Wow! That video was excellent. You take such beautiful videos and pictures. Thank you so much.
Do you know if any barges have been struck by lightning
Julie. Sunset #7 is the best, and my new phone wallpaper! Much love, Ohio USA
Best mooring on the system I wager. I really see the whale now. Moby Dick look alike. Well done Julie.
I love your channel and the beginning of the video. Beautiful colors and sunsets, Trees birds. So nice really enjoy your style
Such a beautiful place to stay guys. Half your luck. 👍
Congratulations on 10k subscribers :) Sooo Well deserved :)
One of your best vlogs yet! We loved the Sunsets, shopping, meeting old friends, and the thunderstorm! Eloise still does not understand the concept of "catch and release". As we do here in the Pacific Northwest when trout fishing.
Terrific shots of the sunsets...and the storms! Another entertaining video. Thanks guys. Cheers
Red sky at night sailors delight. Red sky in the morning sailors take warning! Thank you for the beautiful pictures!
The reflection of the sunsets are so beautiful.
What a great video getting woke up with pump out coal diesel nice to see you keep tanks full and sunsets to die for my curtains are shut keeping home nice and warm so don't see sunsets they were lovely I love to go to a farm shop but none near me to walk to glad you doing two a week as your miles behind don't seem one year since last service but it's a year or 250 hours per service so if you traved a lot you could 4 or five services a year because its cold this week poor poppy been limping bless her but see never moans wish humans were like that stay warm and dry let's have some winter cooking meals I love some ideas for winter
Well that was a vlog that covered just about everything Julie! Fantastic sunsets (captured beautifully); storms that seemed to go on forever; kingfishers, good sized bream (well caught Martin) and lots of ducks; meeting friends; getting the chores done and a farm shop that had my mouth watering! Thank you both so much ❤. A very well deserved 10K subscribers 😊. Take care, stay safe until the next time.
What an excellent vlog!!!!!!!
We love it at Great Haywood and around Tixal Did you manage to get to Shugbrough Hall? Slightly easier from round on the T&M. We managed to get locked out of our boat at Great Haywood last summer and had to break in. Fortunately (?) it was actually quite hard!
Martin living the bream there I see 😃
With all that rain I would have had a bucket or to out to collect water rather than move outside during it. But that is me, lazy and ornery.
Spent 4 months thru’ Christmas in the marina at Great Haywood a couple of years ago and absolutely loved the cafe and farm shop!
did they charge you extra for the fly sprinkles on the latte?
I thought sunset number 2 was a nuclear bomb explosion.
Looks like a great lifestyle...SV Aquila Seattle

Hi George, we’ve not clicked on the link as we always worry when there’s a link but no message, could you reassure the link is safe for us to click please xx
@ it’s a clip of camber wick green 😀
@ love watching your videos, my partner and I were going to get one but she passed last year so I live vicariously through yours.
That’s brilliant! That’s exactly what Martin was doing, well done finding that, showing our age aren’t we lol 😂

Julie, you did some great photos on this one; well done ! Also, so sweet of you to name one of your cans after me.😍 Well done on the fishing Martin, I was a little jealous since I haven't fished in a few months. Cheers !!
Great video Julie & Martin , Fantastic kingfisher shots and 2, 6&7 sunsets were the best.xx
I love just sitting out under the covered porch and watching the lightshow during thunderstorms, just have to watch out for tornadoes.
Those sunsets would make great slow TV footage - with symphony music. Also the storm -( have had a CD storm/ music). Better than the boring rubbish that they try to convince us is great viewing 😵💫😡. With added geese❤ !! And also congratulations Martin on successful fishing - great to see them go back - can u eat them? -or would they taste muddy? Confined ( canal) waterway? Thanks Jan Adelaide
Lovely sunsets and location too. Great pics. Loved the kingfisher. You have a great camera ! Stunning. Hope the weather improves up there for you. Best wishes. ❤
Congratulations on 10k !
Lovely video! Thanks again!
Xx
Lovely vlog 🎉😊 thanks for sharing. Brings back memories of a trip and overnight stay I did some time back at Tixall Wide - stay safe and enjoy your adventures 😊
🤠👍👍
The reflection on the water (#7) makes me think of the Pearl Tower in Shanghai. I have to say, the views and sunsets.in this video were spectacular. I so enjoy watching!
Hi guys, as continual cruisers how often do you generally need to refuel? Wow, that was great footage of the storm xx
Lovely photos and editing, and nice to see there are healthy fish in the water too,besides the usual waterfowl.
Wow sunset no 7 was spectacular. Not sure I'd have been so happy to see and hear the thunder and lightening overhead. Wonderful tempting farm shop , best I've seen in YT so far I think
Spoilt for choice with those sunsets. Hope you've been surviving the storms okay
❤ When I was working in Cambridge 2006/07 I saw narrow boat. Thanks to you now I know it's a very nice life style.👍
That was a helluva storm 😱. Amazing thunder and lightning. Sunsets were brilliant. Question - most narrow boaters I’ve watched seem to be able to moor at most 2 nights in one location - does it vary be location? The food in the cafe looked 👍👍. Martin is so cute at times when he goofs a bit for the camera. You’re a sweet couple 🥰
Hi Julie and Martin, lovely seeing a video from around here. You should have seen it here during the storm last weekend, considerably amount of flooding but thankfully it has drained away now. I will be in the canal side shop tomorrow for some groceries. I will look forward to seeing your video on Monday. Lots of love to you both, have a wonderful weekend
Pleased you included the fishing,nice Bream Martin ! N B Halsall-ex BWB until 1971 then Three Fellows Carrying (Leicester)with butty Aboyne until 1992. 😊Loved the sunset and the storm wasn’t bad either!
his a nice dog
Another beautiful video. Thank you. Such wonderful sunsets. What a beautiful mooring,what an amazing storm. So jealous. Looks so cozy inside
