    If you haven't already got one, I'd recommend getting a moisture meter for the foraged wood. Means you only burn the dry stuff and get more heat out of it. Trying to burn damp wood just means your steaming off all that moisture and its way less efficient and way more polluting. Its difficult on a boat leaving wood for a couple of years to season properly! The meters are cheap and their fun to use!

    Way to go, Emily! Highest point of Conway castle! Went up the Eiffel tower with my wife. I didn't know she is terrified of heights. I was running all over the place, one floor from the top, and there she was clutching for dear life on to a interior joist . Tears running down her face, so I escorted her down gave her a cup of tea to settle her nerves Back up I ran stayed about 1.5 hours, taking pictures, talking to other tourist, etc, etc, Loved it!

    What a lovely episode ❤ had me smiling the whole way through. The last time I was in Wales was December 1970 on my Honeymoon and we loved exploring in our tiny Self-Drive hired Austin Mini Van despite the similarly freezing weather.
    We'd earlier flown in, all the way from a hot summer in Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 so the contrast in temperatures🌡 was pretty challenging. Just like yourselves, a jolly good laugh was the best way to experience it all.

    Loved the Vlog guys I think I’m becoming a bit of a sadist as I love seeing the fear in Emily’s eyes (Well done Emily you’ve earned a brave 😊badge) envious that you both have got good knees to climb the steps 😂 Thanks guys love ya lots XxTrevor & Linda

    ..Also 22:39 Is sampled beat-worthy, Benny.... 😁
    ....If you had even more energy storage, say another couple Jackery, an artisticly painted helix-shaped pop-up wind turbine could have spun up a lot of energy for you, in that wind....Energy to power an onboard micro-studio +++

Ben at the tiny house, & gate crashing Santa parade and the finale- journey leaving the basin at the end 😝 Alan just being the sensible mature one out the three of you as always, love 💕 it 😂😂😂 happy new year 🎉

    Arrrgh! You got to meet the pirate. A lovely person. Loved your last two post. Especially this last one. -17C early last morning warmed up to about -12C. This evening. A lovely glow in the north around to west just above the trees 11PM Northern lights. A great show of courage to keep going to high places to see the lovely view. Wish I could have been around the fires playing tunes
    Leah’s a great time. Keep having fun!

    You really made me cringe when you went off the slipway at Conway, because when I was about 10 years years old I jumped off the same slipway and sank up to my waste in the mud, if it wasn't for the rapid response of a local chap in waders that managed to drag me out I am sure that I wouldn't be here today. And I never got the oppertunity to thank him. I am now 72 years old and still remember so clearly. Keep up the good streams, myself and my wife watch them every week without fail. Thank you both for so much entertainment, it is so much more entertaining than most other things that is so called entertaining. ( It is real life) thank you so much. We have watched you from day one and probably will until the end. Thank you both so much.
