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!

I think you three have got the best life now, you still get to mess about on boats but have the comfort of unlimited water and electricity in your house. Your bread and cakes look delicious as always Jo. William is as gorgeous as ever and seems to have settled into life on dry land very well. I’m loving your vlogs. Take care you 3. X
Do love William's leaf-kicking style, and wide-eyed appreciation of the fireworks 🎉
I have been moored in the same Marina for 10 years, a fantastic location, even got a glimpse of my boat as you entered your correct entrance 😊
Laughed out loud when William said "No!" 😂. Strange how it's a word all children pick up so easily 😂😂😂. As usual it was a joy to enter your world - thanks for the invite ❤.
Willam is sush a sweety.your both very good parents.love you kids.God bless..
You are always fun and entertaining. Great looking Baked goods!
So nice to see Zero all settled down for Winter ❄️…..Nothing like fresh homemade Bread 🍞 warm from the Oven great job 👏
Buy William tell Mum & Dad that was a great video
thank you 🤗👍
Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
So nice to see Zero away for the winter. William is such a cute little boy not sure he was impressed with the fireworks though. The bread looked gorgeous.❤️❤️
Jo you are in your element when you are baking the cakes look amazing sound yummy. Watching from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 hope it all goes well for you both and William is the cutest little man ❤️🇦🇺👍🥰🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed fireworks night. My hubby birthday same night/.day as a small boy thought they were for him thanks from "Downunder"🙃
You need to get on the Bake off show you would make a great contestant xx
Every episode is a cinematic treat.
Hi vic Vic Jo and William what a lovely video, cakes looked yummy, have great week 😊
Bless William putting his toys in the pram, normally the opposite for a two year old!😂😂😂
Hmmm Narrowboaters often say you move the tiller the opposite way than you'd think to steer. I don't really feel that way. Maybe it comes from growing up in canoes. It just seems correct. to get the front end to go right you have to make the back end go left. I do often seem to see the world differently.
Ben is a natural!
So glad you carried on vlogging, love to see you al happy and enjoying life and still backing all that yummy food. Little one is a total joy bless him 😊
Lovely video as always! Bread & cakes looked lush 😋 ❤
I thought I recognised Ben! I randomly came across one of his videos 2 or 3 weeks ago, what a coincidence 🤪😄
Just when you thought your cinematography/editing couldn’t get any better………….it did!
KIds wonderment is a thing never to miss, and Williams is full of it bless him.
I'm quite happy how you three have taken to being landlubbers/boaters Mt twin grandsons are slightly younger then William by about six months and I really enjoy seeing him give me a glimpse into the future. My Really Best Wishs to you three and hope you have happy holidays to come. Sincerely, Steve From texas
12.28 minutes of happiness! xxx
Love you guys.
We took our son to fireworks when he was about Williams age & we had to go back to the car to get away from the noise. The light show was great for him but not the noise. I was watching William carefully to see his reaction. He wasn't real happy it appeared but he was okay. I'm guessing this was Guy Fawlkes night? I heard another channel mention that recently. Great to see you guys! 😊
Groovy episode.
Sometimes I think that a part of what makes your videos so lovely... is love.💗
Great video so sad to see Zero parked up but at least zero will be safe in the marina I love riding this stretch of canal I haven’t covered all of the Macclesfield canal I started off at bridge 70 congleton and rode to bridge 34 and back which took me roughly 2 hours on bike love William at the end byeeee such a lovely voice 🫶
Parkin and fireworks, brilliant. Thank you.
Zero is safe and sound . William is learning soooo much.🥰 Lovely bread and cakes Jo. 😊
Lovely!
Where I live, the bonfire, parade, fair, and fireworks were cancelled due to rain and strong winds. So lovely to share a little of your celebrations. Love William to bits he always make me smile ❤
Thank you for little visits with my Favourite family in UK:) Be Welll Hugs from Wild Wet Coast of Canada (west coast) It ☔ Rains a lot here ss well .👍🇨🇦☕🥳
The toffee apple cake looks really delicious., and the bread too, it turned out really well.
William looked a bit overwhelmed with the fireworks, but he handled it well, bless him. 😊❤️❤️❤️
Love the blog, as usual.
Not sure if you know, but trick or treaters don’t call these days unless you have a candle or something in the window giving them an indication that you don’t mind them knocking. That’s what it was like when we were on dry land anyway. 😔
Yummy looking bread Jo. Baking bread is a comfort thing for me. I love the way the house smells afterwards.
😂You like your coffee Victor lol. I love when you describe your cakes Jo, it always sounds delicious. Your friend did really well steering Zero. Love to William 😘 ❤️🇦🇺🦘
Jo, I rise my bread in the oven!! I put the oven on as low as it will go, just so the light comes on. Takes only 25 mins. You’ll have to experiment if course as all ovens are different 😊
Great vlog! I look forward to each and every one.
When will the tea towel be available?
Sending hugs from Florida!
Sue
Great video, thanks guys.
Short and sweet thanks for sharing. So lovely to see William and the fireworks making memories 💕 xx
🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
When I made bread I made as many as fit in the oven. Same work same electricity (more or less) and you can save the rest in the freezer. The smell of bread in the oven is so nice.
Bread is a wonderful product to experiment with. Try cheese bread.
Might have to make some bread this weekend. Looked great.
Jealous of Ben, wanted to go on a narrow boat for years but Debbie doesn’t so we haven’t. 😢
Loved the ending. William is soooooooo sweet.
Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Love watching.
Lovely video
Which marina are you based at? Would love to visit for some cake! Is it Bollington Wharf?
Love the video guys and the love and excitement in Williams eyes you are so going to love Christmas 🎉. Have a lovely weekend. 🥰
Hi Vic, I’m a bit of home barista and have a Gaggia Classic coffee machine plus a Eureka Manual grinder… I normally buy fresh beans from “ House of Coffee” roasters in Leighton Buzzard and I use Monsoon Malabar medium roast… I’ve found a ratio of 2.1 ie 15g coffee timed at 30seconds is perfect for me… obviously 18g coffee would be 36seconds. If you like coffee home barista is a rewarding hobby!
That was a fun video, and you had a buddy to be on Zero with.
I so hope that you keep the narrowboats, well done to you both and William, I may have said but incase not l sold my Narrowboat 8 years ago, lived on her for 10 years. So miss that amazing opportunity...😊❤
Ahhh, feeding the ducks in South Park, I miss it 🥲
I'm with Jo re a Samosa over a doughnut!! I can understand why Vic hesitated re Zero...sad parking Zero at a Marina...Will you take Zero out like on the week-ends to have a week-end out if the apt? Will is getting so big and your ending was so cute with Will saying "good bye" to us!! Looks like you all are enjoying having more space...stay safe and happy!!
Hi guys, thank you for continuing to share your story with us. It’s such an enjoyable channel to watch. Can I ask Jo, what kitchen aid/ mixer do you use, would you recommend to others? Thank you.😊
Great vlog! Everyday life and more ! So very natural which is the key ! ❤ .
William, cute as ever.
William reminds me so much of my grand nephew Elvis (I know, I know the name choice didn't go over to well with the older folk). Both beautiful little boys. The wonder in his eyes at the fair was just prescious.
that was a joy to watch
Fireworks night, that brings back memories. Now verboten in OZ:( I want William’s fantastic dinosaur hat ❤️!
You need a gimbal to put your scales on so they always level even when boat rocks 😊
Excellent as per, but I wish they could be longer vlogs? 👍
Brilliant. Is Zero tucked up in bed for the winter now?
I love watching your vlogs😊. William is so adorable 🥰 too, have a good weekend, Sue x
PS. I’m waiting for your next set of ‘The cafe boat cakes and bakes’ to come in, my friend has seen mine and said she would like one, so a perfect Christmas present 🎁 🥰 x
Other families "normal" is intrinsicly interesting. Thanks for sharing!
good vid on channel thanks lee
Oh God Bless William is getting so big
Lovely!❤
We had 92 kids come around on Hallowe’en. Down from our usual almost 200. We put a fire on outside to warm everyone up as it was cold (-16 with the wind), windy and there was snow on the ground.
Love It!
What a lovely family you are. Great video
Awwww cheers guys William is just lovely bless him.
I haven't had a trick-or-treater for over 20 years in my neighborhood. The area is pretty sketchy at best. If anyone comes knocking at my door in the dark, it's safe for me to say it will most likely be a thief with a gun.
I just love my visits with you all, you are all looking well and settled. Take care 🤗
Thanks guys great video 😮😊❤
Looking forward to see you too!
Great to see you back Guys 😂xxx
Really interesting video. Loved it. Thanks!
Thanks for a great video. 😂❤
That parkin looked scrumptious.
What! Still no pineapple upside down cake?
Our street is fairly quiet, but this year for Halloween we had over 500 "Trick-or-Treaters", my wife bought (5) big 120 piece bags of candy, "I thought she was nuts", but we went through all of it, not one piece of candy left. Our neighbors held a haunted maze and it brought in people from other neighborhoods. After we ran out of candy, I went to get myself something to eat and there people everywhere, it was crazy. WOW the community where you are living really looks like fun! Fireworks, rides, food stands, my kind of place. William is so cute, he is really getting into the vide of your videos.
I mean fair play to William because I've got 2 kids 8 and 11 and neither have yet been to a bonfire night because as small kids they really didn't like them. So now we just don't bother :)
That bread looked really good!
Well hello Ben 😍
William is just adorable
What is your favourite coffee? I Like Jamaica Blue Mountain. expensive though..😊
❤
Cool hat William.
When you open zero up for stationary monthly/weekly B&B rentals, let us know! 🤔😉
Fresh fallen leaves and something to feed the ducks with, what more does a little boy need from life?
💜💙💚
We're watching this while having breakfast and here are Hays's comments:
"You chat to these people? They talk to us on the TV?"
"Oh...they make good videos, actually."
"We should make videos."
"He (William) really likes the leaves."
"It's over now?"
"Fireworks?!"
Another nice family video, hope William enjoyed the fireworks 🎆🎇 i use to love Guy Forks night when i was a kid. Do they still do Penny for the Guy ??.
Glad to see Zero is safe in her winter berth.
Good baking Jo bread 🍞 came out perfect, will make some nice Toast for breakfast.
Dave B Thailand.
And there is “ no” the beginning of independence 😢. The bread turned out perfectly, as did all your baking. 🙋🏼♀️
William did not look convinced by all the loud bangs and whistles and fiery things lol. That's Halloween and Bonfire Night out of the way so next stop Christmas, yay!!
My what big fella Bill's getting to be! It's been fun to see for me. In Dr. Seuss speak.. ;^)
That boy needs a sister... 🤭 Good to share the winter with you guys
creepy comment
If you understood the language and the culture then you could understand... @@Marcel_Audubon
@@34136TS I understand both the language and the culture, dearie. Commenting on what size someone else's family should be is creepy in any language, in any culture
!!@@Marcel_Audubon
Lovely to see you endorsing your friend's coffee 😊 (don't drink it myself 😂) those brown cakes look delicious 😋
William's not impressed with the fireworks, has he been listening to The Archers? 😉💜
I thought you sold zero?
Ah coffee tutorial. So funny😊. Im going to watch again on super-sloooowww. Jo, super-excitjng news i'm warly looking shopping, and those little silicon molds are in the shops... I may try something. Will post on Insta if successful/or if disaster
Crusty end of loaf? We always called it The Doorstop, anyone else got a different name? Must be loads
In Northern Ireland we called it the “heel “
I so miss bonfire night😢
Can I ask from Australia how did you find your rental house, was it difficult and do you have reasonable security for a long lease. I read a lot over here about extreme accommodation issues in the UK.
