I liked that this showed more of what it is like to actually live onboard as a break from the more usual maintenance or scenic videos. Also, that pumpkin might have been the right type to make a pie out of.
Thank you Mel. Another adult who admits to being terrified of the dark! I'm now what they call a Septagerariun and am still waiting to 'grow out of' my irrational fear of the dark - whilst realising in my rational moments that it is never going to happen and I'm stuck with sleeping with the hall light on every night and not even taking the rubbish out once it gets dark! It sounds so stupid I know but fear of anything is a real emotion. I also hate horror films! On a happier note!!! The pumpkin looks great, Paul will soon be back with you again, the rain always stops and the clouds always make way for the blue skies. Thank you for sharing your everyday life with us when Paul is away. Keep smiling and living that dream.
Thanks Jill! We could all do with more honesty 😅😂 I relate to you too! Yes always keep smiling there’s so much that still so great! Any life changes just keeps it all interesting x
Mel.. I watch your VLOGs because they are interesting 🧐 Sure Paul is half of team Mel and Paul but you Mel are an equal half! Keep doing what your doing it works! Look forward to the next one!
Please ask Paul to fix that wonky axe, safety first Mel! Lovely editing Mel, you do keep yourself busy, I can empathise with you about your table top, be careful with your back! Good news today, they found Cleo Smith!
Seriously no introduction that you will be taking a brake. Rude guys! A whole community you built and brought together left wondering. That being said hopefully you are both well and have a wonderful Xmas
A up you two, happy new year. Hope you have a trouble free year boating 2022 . Look after each other, stay safe. Johnny n bev, Jack sparrow Sawley marina A jetty
Hi John and thanks so much! If you had popped around for tea you probably would have had an update sooner than waiting for a video!😂 thanks for the lovely wishes, just dealing with some life changes but we’ll be back with a new video on Monday!
Hi Mel, thanks for the content. Loved the concentration on your face doing the pumpkin, you did a great job! Rainy days in England, will never forget them and how much I used to get wet walking from the station to the office... but good memories. Take care both, regards Reni 🍷🍷
Hi guys how come we have not had the weekly video hope everything is good with you guys hope to see you back soon wishing you both a merry christmas and a happy new year. S C UK.
Hi steve! We took a little break! We will be back in the new year, we’ve missed it so much but it’s done us good👌🏻🙌🏻 see you soon! Seasons greetings right back at you!✨❤️
Hi! Hahaha not much! We are chilling for the winter (not literally though we hope 😂) just taking some time and we’ll be back with mew things when the time is right 🤙🏻😎
Hi Mel .....enjoyed your first solo vlog. Hope Paul is enjoying his new job but i am sure he is missing you and the boat !....Good job with the pumpkin by the way ! Keep safe and well....all my best to Paul too....chris x
Thanks so much Chris! Yeah, I enjoyed making this one for you all, will be back to the two of us in the next - always fun to change it up! And no doubt we’ll keep staying creative with our time as we continue down this road 😎xx
As always, a lovely video and a great attitude. As a US citizen I may never get to see a narrowboat or a wide beam. Since you mentioned visiting another boat.....I would love to see any interior shots anyone is willing to share. Don't mean to be intrusive but I am amazed at the time, effort, and craftsmanship that owners have put into their boats. Hope that doesn't come out sounding weird.
@@LM-rp1bw Thank you. Absolutely gorgeous boat....or are they called ships? Another subscription to waste my retirement on. If you folks would just move England about a thousand miles south I would liquidate everything and learn to live on a boat. Thanks again.
I would love to film them.. always a hard one knowing when to ask or to make sure they know we’re not there just for the boat.. these are our friends after all, and not everyone enjoys being on camera (or having to clean house for one😂) but I’m sure along the way I’ll squeeze it in! 😎✌🏻
@@MelandPaulMunro Thanks. I'm don't mean to be intrusive but I don't think there are any similar types of boats here in the US. If any of your friends have public channels like yours I would love to see the URL. Again, only if it is public. Thanks.
Ah, Paul doing what he does with planes could be a component of why Paul likes to have things done well and properly; Dad and Grandad were each pilots for a season of their lives & there are a whole bunch of things in aviation where if you don't get it right the first time you'll never have to worry about getting anything any way ever again.
Hi Mel your first blog alone,never mind Paul will soon be home after his long week at work.I bet he has missed you as much as you have missed him love is in the air as the song goes,,Mel the dark won’t hurt you is the things you bump into that hurts ,yes Mel we like watching kinginit great people,Hi Paul nice to see you the pumpkins Mel has carved reminds me of you so much ,wanted to see the end product of the pumpkin lol well take care Mel look after yourself till next time keep safe, John 😂🤷♀️👏🙌🧚🏽♀️💃💃👀👩🦳
Hi Christine, yes all good here. Just taking a break and figuring some things out! We miss you all so much and bringing you into our lives so sit tight I’m sure you’ll see us pop up again soon x
We miss you too! It’s been so strange not filming things😅 all is good we just needed a break to figure some things out and we’ll be back as soon as we can!
I wish I could remember the name of a narrowboater , from Frances’ canals, I came across last year , maybe you’ve seen her. She goes to vintage and second hand shops to get clothes to upscale and sell online, you’d have a lot in common. I haven’t seen any videos from her since Covid so she may have moved home to her parents home till it was safe again. I’m sure it was lonely and probably unsafe for her living alone on a little boat. Her Father owned a hire company if I remember correctly, but then again I’m getting up there and watch so many cloggers I don’t trust my memory😂🤣. I think she was selling on EBay or Etsy to begin but was starting her own website because the fees for those sites were ridiculous. I’m glad you’ve found a friend with same interests, it must get lonely staying alone . Is Paul staying at work for long periods? Hope all is well for you both, take care🙋🏼♀️
Oh that sounds just up my alley I’ll take a look! It can be lonely especially not having family around either.. but I get by and I do also enjoy being able to spread out and get my sewing done etc. It’s a change but we make the most! Always nice to miss each other a bit!☺️ not long periods 5 day rotating shifts x
Hi Clive! We are here and well! We miss making videos so so much - but we needed this break! We are still figuring out a new way forward for making videos over the winter and with Paul’s work schedule so sit tight, thank you for checking in and we’ll see you soon! X
@@MelandPaulMunro Doubtless you have considered (?) a mooring in Oxford. If not but you are living in Oxford then the pubs in Oxford are not bad at all. Not all in city centre. My favourite is the Turf Tavern, under the "bridge of sighs", turn left down the alley. Covered Market ... make your first recce without your purse and plastic!!! 😂😂😂 Unsophisticated it might appear but nothing unsophisticated about relieving you of cash in the woollens stalls 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. (On the far right wall ref from the main entrance.) And breakfast in upstairs cafe for "after the night before". Dunno if it's still there but Google up "shark in the roof" ... might be worth a squint.
@@t1n4444 thanks for the recommendations! We are in fact still where we left off.. we got onto some waiting lists for moorings in Oxford but since then I found work in Nottingham so now we’re really in a pickle! (Hence the time away to figure things out) we’ll be back to posting videos in the new year so will see you then! Have a super Christmas x
@@MelandPaulMunro Spoilt for choice it seems! 'Turf Tavern" or "Trip to Jerusalem" (If you don't mind caving). Shark or Robin Hood. Can certainly see your dilemma! Doubtless you will resolve the issue in due course. And lastly enjoy your Christmas too. Will look forward to your episodes in 2022.
@@MelandPaulMunro Sweeeeet!!! Hope you’ve enjoyed your break from filming (it’s pretty demanding!); we have missed you guys and are really looking forward to your future videos.
Hi Greg! We’re coming back in the new year! Totally appreciate your concern - we’ve missed being here and can’t wait to come back! Have a super Christmas and see you soon!
Hi Ross! Yes we are! Here and well, we just needed a break.. it was an abrupt change but life sometimes forces you into a new space to make way for something different. For now we are just enjoying the new season and each other and when the time is right we’ll be back!

Plenty of waterways around Oxford ... it's finding the mooring which can be tricky.
What has happen its been a month. Is everything ok?
