For those of you just joining us, welcome! We're Vic and Jo and for the last few years we have been travelling the UK on our 54ft narrowboat Zero and working in our floating cafe narrowboat, Holly. After two years of trading and travelling (and having a baby!) we moved onto land and are now planning big things for the cafe boat business! Join us as we work out how we're going to navigate this next chapter of our lives!

We are thrilled the book is in it's second printing and being discovered all over the globe. So proud for you Jo!
I love that you reprinted your book! Well done! 👏🏼📖 It has a prime position on my bookshelf.
Aww William has such good manners repeating 'thank you' 😭
His oh Thank you ❤😊
William is just such a cute kid, I could watch him all day long.
William is delightful. So much easier when they can communicate what is wrong instead of just being grumpy.
Hidden dance talents!
My baby William is now 25 years old. He is super cool and doing very well for himself. I wish your William the very same luck.
Thanks for keeping your boatvlog alive, despite you are grounded!
I think often one starts watching a particular RUclipsr for some one topic but then you,me,us gets into THEM and when they need to move on or change tack they discover,sometimes to their surprise that a lot of their followers want to go with them because we are emotionally engaged.
You could rent Hero out as an air B&B or holiday let 😁 so pleased you have more books in xx
Great to see William again and how he is progressing, seems ages since we've seen him, my how he has grown.
What beautiful manners William has. Impressive. Must be the excellent parenting he’s had 😊
I had no idea until this moment how marshmallow was made--it could have grown on trees for all I knew. This channel is soooo educational! William is the dearest boy. Cheers!
Great video - so entertaining! Jo your hand knitted cardi is gorgeous and also Williams jumper!
Congratulations on the 2nd printing of the book and for being stocked in a local shop. The marshmallows look amazing Jo, hot chocolate will go down really well, especially in winter. Poor Vic having to deal with the compost toilet! William is an absolute joy, I loved this vlog. X
William is such a lovely little boy and he has really come on speaking much more.❤️❤️
William is adorable and cute as a button and my goodness his speech or perhaps vocabulary has amassed unquantifiably
😂wait till he is older 😂😂
I’m glad you have published more copies of the cookbook. We have enjoyed our copy and I’m happy for others to do so as well.
WOW...William is growing up fast...."Thank you" stole the show x
You guys are nuts. Love the dance ending😂
Congrats to Jo for the new book selling venue.
William is just too cute.
Just wanted to say how much we’re enjoying your cook book….. lots of cakes!😇😇 Have just received a second copy, we ordered, as a Christmas gift for our Niece ….expecting her first child in early February. Well done to you both….and, of course, Bill!
And on to the next book. I have made lots of recipes, if not all, out of you cook book. It is a joy. Love watching William grow. Xx
Here in Tasmania we have Chili hot chocolate. It is made with chocolate and Chili syrup. Anvers a small private choclateir is the place to get it. Great in the winter. ❤🇦🇺
Great vlog Guys, We really enjoyed. And so good to see you all.See you next week, love to you all ❤xxx
Well done Jo on having your book in a shop in town ,it's just up the road from me so I will look out for it tomorrow on my way into town 😊 xx
Very pleased to place an order for a copy of the book. Didn't know you were reprinting. That's my daughter's present sorted! Thanks. Tebay Rob
I love it when Jo surprises herself when she is successful with a new receipt...................>
You guys are Sooo cute. Second print 🙊. I've still not got one 🙈Love the dance at the end. I've got a Christmas Fair this weekend at The Ruskin Glass Centre. I'm going to try to plan a visit to see you on Holly before Christmas ❤ if you're open 👍 Jamie
Great drone footage Vic!
Thanks for taking us on that nice little excursion 😊
Loved the pleasure/surprise on Jo's face when it worked and tasted "just like marshmallows" I too love it when that happens 😀
Can't wait to see your place done up for Christmas, William is going to be sooo excited! So happy to see your book in that interesting little shop, wish we were closer, I'd certainly go there!💜
Your filming is amazing vic, and Thankyou for my weekly visit to your life. Hopefully this time I manage to get a book, you should be so proud 🤗
Your sweet William is seriously the cutest little one ever!!
Loved the video great well done Vic for doing senseless task,the marshmallows looked scrumptious well done Joe, and always a delight to see William getting proper talkative. Have great week 😊
Great to see your book in a shop! It’s not just a cookbook, I love the back stories for all the recipes.The cranberry and almond flapjack recipe is delicious, all my family love it.
Williams jumper is gorgeous.. just like him
Is it a hand knit? So nice . Great vlog! X
So excited you have more books 👏😃Christmas list ❤
Will is just too adorable 🥰
If you bathe and then put your son to bed at 6pm every night - even if he doesn't sleep- then you can have adult time together.
Please believe me that you will thank yourselves as your son gets older. Parents NEED alone time, even just to have an uninterrupted cup of tea. It's part of the training that young children need. I used to say to my children that once bedtime story (one) was done then it's snuggle down and lights out time.
As young adults they have each told me that they are grateful for the security that the routine gave them.
I also gave them afternoon naps at 1pm every day until they went to school. The 'awake as a button' is often a sign of being over-tired rather than as a result of the nap.
Blessings to you all. 🙏🙏🙏
ah that's so lovely to see the book being picked-up by a local shop. You must be very proud Jo.
Good'un. Like the way that the munchmalloos were approached.
Super video guys. Very entertaining. We’ve seen that market at Altrincham. It’s very stylish. I didn’t know you were selling your book again. I’m really pleased. I thought I’d missed out on it. So my order will be in. William is talking so clearly and sweetly. He’s really changing. Brilliant marshmallows and homemade, even better. 😃👍🎄
awesome. particularly the ending
I can thoroughly recommend Jo’s book. Would make an ideal Christmas present. All the cakes have turned out so well. 💕
William is so adorable and so cute loved that he is chatting away more now xx
That was briiliant!! Hot chocolate with marshmallows!! OMG!!!!
What a dear little boy. He is a credit to you both xx
Groovy episode. I'd never seen marshmallows being made before.
Love you three. Fun and interesting as usual. Thank you 🙂🙂🙂
So pleased to see the next delivery of books (I've just ordered mine!). Loving all the baking and congratulations on the marshmallows.
Your book looked so at home in the shop. All the best with the sales.I have been making the ginger cake never been a baker but its delicious..may try marshmallows they looked so nice..
Great video as always guys! William is sooo cute! X
That must feel amazing, having your book stocked in a local shop! Wow! Feel proud of what you guys have achieved and you’ll achieve much more im sure
Great to see you guys, and William has such a lovely voice now, with all his new words, and he really knew the meaning when he said "Thank You" so beautifully. He is a bright young thing your beautiful boy, thanks to two beautiful and loving and caring parents. xxx
Just bought your book Jo. Really looking forward to trying the recipes. It'll take my mind off your compost toilet Vic 😂
Like watching you bake…it looks effortless. I have tasted homemade marshmallows and they are delish. Nice video thanks
Love the little clip of Stockport underbanks
Back in the 70s I was a candy maker and we made our own marshmallow, and used honey instead of sugar for the sweetener. Made for a very nice taste.
What a beautiful family. Love your channel
I just noticed that my clock in hanging over your mantel or is it your clock that is hanging over my desk.... LOLOL I am glad that your marshmallows turned out so well. I also wanted your cooker from Zero but your there and i am here. I am still searching for one like it here in the US that is not outrageously expensive. Cheers guys, I am glad your having so much fun in your house.
Love the dance party!!!
The hot chocolate sounds really good. Great job on the marshmallows. Congratulations on the book. William is the sweetest. The flies from the composting toilet looked gross. Good luck with the sale of Zero. It’s sad. Have a good weekend. Cheers!
Just ordered one of your fabulous cook books..cannot wait. You always bring a smile to my face each time I watch your videos - keep being you...Terry and guide dog Spencer
That was brill!! Thank you for sharing some of your life with us!
I love watching your videos.Im happy william is talking well.Take care.God bless.
Excellent video in many ways, great production these days, well done team.
Love this little family.
I have just ordered your cookbook. So excited for it to arrive. Those marshmallows look divine. X
Well done Jo - that moment of seeing your book in a bookshop for the first time is very special! (and who'd have thought you could furnish a whole terraced house with boxes of books?)
Love the look of the shop your book has gone to be brought 👍🤗
Marshmallows look great 🍰☕💐🍰☕
Love Sue. ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Altrincham so trendy! My brother had a stall years ago in the market there! Hot Chocolate sounded lovely.Marshmallows sound nice! I used to make my own sugarpaste without a sugar thermometer with the glucose gelatine and glycerine to decorate celebration cakes.
Fabulous to get your books in that lovely shop.Next time in Macclesfield will have to visit!
Congrats on your book and the display in shop was perfect. Marshmallow looks delicious. Loved the look of the place where you tried the hot chocolate.
Owww marshmallows they both looked good to me. You both look so happy with more space & room for William to move around. Poor Vic with that job!!
I did laugh at the end great twerk Jo😅 have a great week xx
Great video about the new job change. William is growing up so fast. Good luck with selling your boat. Your new adventures will continue. 😊
There seemed to be quite a lot of life in the pads you removed. If like mine, then there are two washers of different sizes. once adjusted to the max through wear, remove and swap the washers around to bring the pads closer to the rim. hope that makes sense.
Love for marshmallows they look great.😊
just saw your article in business insider browsing the news this morning!!!
I put off watching this one for days as from the title I feared it would contain something traumatic,and it did,lol! Congrats there on a good job done. I've have hired someone! Loved your opening shots. William now WALKS! And how heart melting is his "thank you". God Willing I hope to visit Macclesfield next summer if I get the chance. In this last summer of 2023 I went through on the train several times going up north and each time I wanted to jump off and explore. Macclesfield is in that brilliant story by Alan Garner "The Weird stone of Brisingamen". I love how that author conveys that sense of "otherness" that is in the countryside. It's not neccesarily sinister or frightening but it's definitely there and often in towns too,mostly in the old parts or places where the roads haven't been straightened out but the odd kinks and curves tell your subconscious brain this was a road before there were houses. I'm into psychogeography and urban rambling (from before I learned it was called that). I guess anyone who can view some fields and not feel what the ancient world termed 'panic',is qualified to be a property developer. How amazing to be able to make those marshmallows. Even the first batch done by eye,were super. If I get to up north next summer I defo want to buy a cake at your cafe boat so ill try to find out where it is at that time.
Hehe... loved the dance party! "Thank you" 😄
That is very impressive you making your own marshmallow. Such a brilliant cook you are. I just wish I lived near your cafe boat to taste those delicious creations you make.
Bless you all 👋💐
William is growing so quickly, such a good boy! Love the marshmallow lesson....might make some, but I am so pleased as other half has ordered your book for me for Xmas! Yay!. I know what you mean about hot chocolate Jo, it has to have good chocolate in it I also love your dance skills! Look after yourself guys. Plenty of vitamin C for the sniffs and snivels!😊😷
Once the EW of the comfort wears off I’ll have to make some marshmallows but I want some pastel pink and some white just because I’ve been influenced by numerous people . Have a great weekend and good luck 🤞on the boat sale🤞🤞🤞. William is such a cutie , at a great age, learning some things new every minute it seems. 🙋🏼♀️
If you like a nice chocolate bob yourselves down to Leek and look for Miscos. They are delicious. Leek also has/had an Independent bookshop (not been for a while)
Congratulations on your book sales as well as your first shop sales. It is a tremendous book. Marshmallows look fab a great asset to hot chocolate. Wishing you all well and look forward to whatever you are doing next. Christmas is not far away, William is a lovely age for Christmas. Lots of hot chocolate and marshmallows followed by crazy dancing. Xx
You 3 👨🏼 👩🦳🧒 are priceless!
Another great vlog, thank you🙏✝️🙏🇨🇦
You are fantastic baker🎉
Great blog Joe I love watching you cook especially something you have not cook before ,William sure is putting his words together.what a job emptying the compost toilet the flies just couldn’t believe that Vic you need a medal for that,it’s a shame you are selling zero how long have you had it ? Till next time take care keep safe,John 🇬🇧🎄🎄👀🌹🌹🤫🤗🤭😂😘🫣⛄️⛄️🏅🏅🏅🍺🍺
I’m so pleased you’ve got your first book stockist, I bet it’ll fly off the shelves! I’ve just preordered some tea towels, something to look forward to after Christmas 🎄
Homemade marshmallows are a revelation! Make it with fresh juice from crushed sieved raspberries, also delicious x
William 🥰 "Thank u"
Thought about a composting bog but after watching your post ya can stick em🫣
I'm sharing your love for bike parts. At least until the guy told me that the brake pads for my disk brakes are £25 a pop
Just found your channel. Interesting to watch while I'm WFH, nice videos
I spotted a Great North Pie shop. Amazing pies.
must be my lucky week, ordered a cook book and first to view the new video !
Bye bye Zero, cleaning up your old boat is kind of sad and comforting, somehow, know it's going to a new life. Very nice boat, Zero, lots of happy times. Sweetness charge from the homemade marshmallows ought to be high - happy landing!!
Congratulations on getting your book into a shop!!!! I am sure there will be many to come. It reminded me that I hadn’t ordered the digital version ( I live in the US) but when I went to your site it said Product Not Available. Is there a different way to order it. 8 would love a hard copy but the shipping and length of time, is too much. Great work on the marshmallows. Loved the dance party, and who knew Jo can twerk 🥳
😊🤗 Kathy
I enjoyed the vlog, well done with the marshmallows
Thank you!
Thank you. 🙃🙃🙃👍👍👍
I was in stitches with your family sugar high gyrations. Could never have done that on the boat! 🤣
Oh the joys of boat loo's, luckily for me I spent a lot of time on tidal rivers and the sea. So I had a pump overboard loo, plus a blue water thingy for the upper Thames etc. but emptying that blue container got me splashed every time. The downside of the pump out one was when we sat on the mud at low tide, then it was a careful run to the club house and a pint afterwards. You can tell a boater in a restaurant; they always use the loo before leaving.
The marshmallows looked yummy and nice to see the three of you tucking in.
The chocolate they make is called drinking chocolate. It's a prepared shredded chocolate. Really good. Its rich. Please show us your marshmallows. Haha. Homemade ones are a revelation. I'm really cheering you on with your hot chocolate
Success! Your marshmallow looked so delicious Joanna. 🤩 Congratulations on your book display. 🎉
Hugs to little William. ❤️🇦🇺🦘
Have you ever tried Tunnocks Tea Cakes? The marshmellow inside them is a soft gooey texture. We were in the UK a couple of months ago and got hooked on them and we've even found a shop that sells them here in Auckland New Zealand
I loveeeee tunnocks teacakes! It's a special kinda marshmallow isn't it?? I don't know how it's made but I'll have a look into it 👀
I love you guys. 😂❤
