I found your channel last week and it’s so unlike others that I watch, no sensational announcements no dramas just a good honest people cataloging their experiences, you are both finding the joy in life and it’s refreshing to follow, all of the content is interesting and I’m sure I’m not alone in this but I think lots of people see you as pretty brave to give up the 24/7 hamster wheel that 99.9% of people are on and live life on your terms, you won’t ever regret it.
Thank you for this Gina! You really Hit the nail on the head here. We were both working ALL the time to pay huge bills and an ridiculous mortgage… and at the end of the day we found we had a nice house but no spare cash to do anything nor enjoy the house we spent all our week paying for! We both met whilst travelling and we craved those more relaxed and carefree times, but still wanted a home base and then came up with the idea of living on a narrowboat! I am so pleased we did! We will share the full story in future episodes! But yes… life is too short to live on the hamster wheel.. we wanted to live life on our terms!!! ❤️
In a world full of carefully manicured RUclips videos about boats (which are also good), it’s wonderful to watch two people ‘learning by doing’ and enjoying themselves along the way. Keep the videos coming, I watch feeling like it’s a window into of real life afloat😁
I loved the realness of your vid, no dramatic emotional music or super fake editing, it really was a pleasure to watch. keep it up guys i look forward to following your new life.
Such a breath of fresh air to see two authentic lovely people, telling it how it is and sharing a slice of their adventure with us. I live in a city so this is just the kind of nature and escapism I need at the moment! Keep up the good work!!! ❤❤❤
Such a cool atmosphere in your videos about the boat! In our era, when RUclipsrs and bloggers are trying to properly set the light and all that, the color of your video looks very cozy and unpretentious) . Perhaps it will be a new trend in shooting). The simpler, the better! And also, watching your videos about the boat, it occurred to me that the two of you are some kind of survivalists in the post-apocalypse, but the most optimistic survivalists))!😄😄 You also got out of the dangerous city into the wilderness, so as not to run into crowds of urban zombies.🧟♂ Forgive me for my imagination🙏
Oh my days...you are both such a breath of fresh air and smiles galore...! I have been struggling a great deal with life of late, having set up a business from my rented farmhouse some 7 years ago that is service base led, I have found myself so lost in recent years, burnout and exhausted, feeling overwhelmed by the endless demands on my time and not least of all the financial demands... Covid has left my business struggling, and what with various difficult personal and family problems too, I have been turning to VLOGS and such like, seeking a simpler, slower and less complicated life, one where there is choice and no longer slavery to systems or routines... I stumbled across your VLOG, as you do, when just drifting aimlessly through RUclips, and I have to say, I think you are the most lovely couple and the least mad souls I have come across. I think what you are doing and how you are doing it, is just perfect. Watching you is so calming, you are a little ray of sunshine in my life, and I really cherish being able to sit and watch you both. The simplicity, the downsizing, and the nourish approach to life that you have embraced is invaluable. The happiness and fun that is palpable between you both when you do anything...is just heartwarming and uplifting; so thank you for doing this and sharing it, as I for one can say that you make a difference in my day, and are somewhat of an inspiration. My dream is to live in a small dwelling that I can actually own myself, and one day to write something, a book, whatever, who knows? I want to continue my path into Reiki healing and find a way to live slower and more meaningfully, that is fully present and receptive to the little things in life, to immerse myself in nature and connect with, and hold space for and nourish myself and the authenticity of who I am. So, please keep Vlogging and sharing, I love your shared snippets into your new adventure and can not wait to see how life unfolds for you both from here on in...In peace Sarah xxxx
Hello beautiful lady, Thank you so much for your heartfelt message to us. We wanted to make sure to carve out some time to respond to you. First off, thank you so much for your kind words, really is lovely to hear and made us smile a lot (more than usual 😜) Your message to us really did resonate. It's not a rare thing, unfortunately. It's sad to hear this is the norm for so many people around the world. Really is sad.. We felt similar too if we're honest. It was the biggest driver for us to call 'time-out'!! Something had to give.. we were in a dark and negatively contemplative period of life. We resonate with the things you've mentioned albeit in our own way. It sounds like you should keep focusing on your dream of the small holding. The slower-paced life and more meaningful/fulfilling things you want to fill your time doing. The reiki sounds perfect. When times get tough. Just tap into these thoughts and know you're taking small steps to make this more of a reality. It's the only way, or life will pass us all by before we action anything.. take care of number one! We love you!! We are so glad to have you along for the adventure, and all of us together have no idea where or how it'll end up! But it's most important to enjoy the here and now. All of love and blessings to you Sarah, Ula and Josh xxx
@@UlaandJosh Thank you guys, that is so lovely of you to take the time to reply and with such nurturing words. Bless you both. I was sorry to see you had issues with your toilet and I was so sad to see you had the leak. Poor Ula, you looked so worried, and Josh so tired, but the most beautiful thing to watch was Josh holding you and saying it would be alright, and you, Ula taking care of Josh too, telling him how good he is..You two really are a dream to watch together, the dynamic in your relationship is soulful and really nourishing. Love that supports, enables and facilitates both growth and a safe haven for the heart is invaluable..it is what keeps us going through the tough times and makes us shine from within during the fun times...keep it up guys. Just wanted to say too, how beautiful the decoration was that you unearthed on the outside of the boat...how gorgeous was that? Lucky you! When you thank people who bought you coffee each week at the end of your Vlog, have they actually bought you coffee or donated to you, and if so, how do they do that? I would love to buy you both a coffee... If you ever feel like a trip up to Cornwall, obviously without your gorgeous boat, as Canals are somewhat lacking here, then please do look me up, I would be delighted to offer you a place to stay and explore...www.thecowshedweddings.co.uk you can also find me on wwwfreathyfarmhouse.com I have a bell tent here in the summer, you would be very welcome to come stay in that or in the farmhouse with me for a break as my guests. Here is the link to the Bell Tent it is so long though... www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/658429674427835938?adults=2&children=0&infants=0&pets=0&check_in=2023-04-01&check_out=2023-04-06&federated_search_id=0aa8850a-032c-4bcc-b7ca-7542d8513acb&source_impression_id=p3_1679908942_UGOiCAck9%2BuO7esv Any way, I am looking forward to this weeks Vlog and well done you with all the locks, that was brilliant. Thank you again for your kind words and encouragement, it means a lot. We are all here to help each other on our path, so thank you for taking time to connect with me as you did. Stay happy and safe. In peace, love and light, Sarah xxx
I just had your channel pop up on my recommended, & I’ve just sat here with a warm cup of milky horlicks like a grandma, lol, watching both of your beautiful videos & I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed them. I have 2 chronic genetic disabilities, I’ve had to come to terms with letting go of a lot of my dreams for practical reasons, but I have the fondest memories of narrowboat trips growing up, lazy days on the river during spring & summer with my brothers friends narrowboat, going out as a family. I was fortunate enough to grow up on a farm surrounded by wildlife, my heart is in the country & nature, I can’t even begin to tell you how much I smiled when you panned over your beautiful narrowboat, or over to the trees, watching the winter sun peak through, isn’t it just beautiful? I’ll be living vicariously through the both of you. It’s so lovely seeing a young couple get out of the ‘rat race’ & just take a big leap of faith to follow their dreams. I lost my beautiful mum very suddenly 12 months ago, & when you lose someone suddenly like that, it really opens your eyes to how short life can be. Grasp it with both hands. I’m honoured to be on this journey with you, & I absolutely love the way you vlogged - don’t change a single thing! So much love & blessings to you both on your new adventures! 💗 xx
Oh Laura, what a beautiful message. Thank you for taking the time to write to us on here. It sounds like you have been through a lot of late and so if we are able to bring a little smile to your face then that has made our week. What beautiful memories you have from your childhood along the canals! What precious recollections. There were many reasons we decided to change our lifestyle and some of the motivating factors were to do with health and also a few people close to our lives that had some issues come up that really reminded us that life is too short! Thinking of you xx so happy to have you here with us ✨
My favourite part of moving is the unpacking, finding a place for everything and putting everything in it’s place! I’ll bet things get moved plenty of times over the next few months. Good luck with the first cruise.🤞
I didn’t want the video to stop ! I’m so happy I’ve caught your journey at the very beginning. Can not wait for more videos . Wishing you both all the very best … ❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This reminds me a bit of the cine films my dad used to take of our camping holidays in the sixties I know its . a narrow boat but I mean the style of filming ..its nostalgic @So refreshing to watch 🏕️thankyou
Hi you guys, I was absolutely fascinated this week to learn about Stern gland grease🤣 I was riveted watching Josh pack that stuff in! I hope you earn a bumper commission for the Hello Fresh ad. It was so comical and entertaining! Nice to see you having fun at the Crick boat show too and loving the Brad and Angelina vibe😍 Hope you both have a good week and look forward to seeing you next Sunday 😊
This is our Sunday night viewing, so much more real, interesting and entertaining than most on telly! Keep the content coming Ula and Josh. Would love to go for a beer with you Josh and put the world to rights.
It’s winding hole as in weather not winding as in cable. It comes from the days of horse drawn boats where the boatmen would use the wind to turn the boat. Much love.
@@UlaandJosh we were in your position 6 years ago when we bought our boat. Everything can seem a bit daunting but you learn fast and everything is amazing. Just wait til spring and summer you won’t regret a thing . Ps. Please don’t use an oven with an open door to warm the boat, very dangerous. C02 x
I'm loving watching your video's you both sound so happy living on your longboat...I have to say that village you went to is stunning with the Tudor style home's with thatched roof's...see you in your next video 💜🇦🇺
Hiya Terri-Ann! So many beautiful villages to explore when travelling by boat! We are getting to know so much about England in such a Short space of time. Feeling very grateful for the life ✨
@@UlaandJosh hi there yes I can hear the excitement in your voices it really is a special time in your lives and one which I'm sure will bring you both so much happiness...doing what you're doing will really strengthen the love you have for each other I'm sure 💜
An enjoyable first couple of videos; no gilding the Lily or clickbait tactics to attract viewers. Looking forward to watching some more content from you. We live not far from the K&A Canal in Bradford-on-Avon, if you're passing by get in touch, always happy to buy you both a real coffee 😉
So lovely to escape with you to the tranquillity of the English canals💫 And so great to get an inside view into what it's really like - especially for a couple of newbies muddling through! Keep up the good work! 👍
Thanks so much :) we are really trying to capture life as it unfolds. So pleased you enjoyed the episode! And yessss the English canal network is beautiful… very peaceful and tranquil :) x
Here he is! So lovely to have this blast from the past. Great to be back in contact with you! Thanks a bunch for your support also Andy! Much appreciated my friend x
What a charming couple. We are in our 70’s and have been seriously thinking about buying a boat and returning to live in the Uk after 40 years in Australia.
Hiya Lynne, I grew up in australia!! What an amazing country it is. Happy to be in the U.K. now rediscovering my homeland. It’s a wonderful way to explore
I sure hope you got a better tarp than those u just used !! To leave a reply so quickly was awe inspiring for me. I’ve sat here for weeks after a serious illness with Sepsis diagnosis and I’m now in a nasty flare up of osteoarthritis which needs Oramorph and fentanyl patches watching you two. I’m so jealous I’m crying I’m 71 and sick of life as it is. You go guys do it now. I’m determined to get better and smile but it’s hard very hard. Little lights please be bright…yah see in the cupboards…way to go …..Sunset walk…I’ve open fields behind me with muntjac, feed the foxes every night too….no wild birds as Harris hawks visit scare the life out of my budgies and me when it lands on the flight. Ken is a bright old spark for you both to know and bet he loves it too. Be safe love each other every day. Stephanie U.K. again xxxxx
Glad to have found this little gem of a channel. Very technical work you're doing there "press the red knob thing" and "what does this little silver pipe thing do"? 🙂 How lovely and down to earth.
Thank you so much!!! It is crazy to see how well it has been received so far. We are thrilled to have such a beautiful community of people so far who are very supportive of our videos. Thank you for the kind feedback also x
Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, Awwww I Love you two , you seem to be enjoying all of it , even the leaks 😏 , I'm in this for the long haul with you two , Thank You so much for taking us with you , looking forward to this 😃, Take Care xx 🤗❤️
I live in my campervan, come summer I buy solar candles and other lights I leave by my windows to charge which is great for not worrying about batteries from shops and even drain on my leisure batteries as it all mounts up ,. USB is good also
I know it's early days, but you both seem so at ease with boatlife, getting your own dog would be a great idea, they can give you so much love. A lovely video
Oh my goodness, I have only just started following you you two & I'm already in love with you both - You're living the life I dream of... 💖💖. I hope to watch all your videos in the next few days, you've really inspired & excited me. ❤❤
I love your boat are you to see wonderful I been looking to rent a boat because I can't afford to buy so lovely to see this way of life well done you lovely couple taking a leap of faith I'm so impressed 🥰
You are a beautiful couple. I love your metalic green kettle. I remember my mom serving us kids with a boiled egg in a cup with toast, Maybe porridge in a cup will start a new trend for people living in a small space like a narrowboat to reduce the number of dishes on board.?
Hi enjoyed the vlog If you stern bilge is filling with water check your stern gland make sure it is topped up with grease turn the handle till it tightens after each time your prop shaft has turned that is where the water is probably coming through the stern gland unless it is rain water if so check any drain holes.
I'm so impressed with you positivity and adventurous spirit. You are two beautiful gentle natured people , a pleasure to watch , I'm looking forward to seeing how you progress from boating amateurs to canal boat experts . 😀
Watching you two gives me life 🥰🥰 I've been sitting here unwell for afew weeks.... then I found you both on here..... I've been captivated from the first video I saw, your so relaxing and fun to watch, living my dream you are lol 🥰 xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I loved your second boat video, so authentic! I’m glad you chose to share your journey with us from the start of your life onboard instead of showing us a manicured version when you’d settled in and done everything. I’m really looking forward to following your journey. Your boat is lovely on the inside. Take care, stay safe you two. X
Thank you Shirley!!!! We wanted to document our journey from the start for our families and friends and then thought “hey why not pop it on RUclips” and we have had the most wonderful response so far. Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos! It means so much to us x
Good luck guys on your new life on the water. 'Jethro' looks like a wonderful flome - my term for my own floating home on the Rochdale Canal and a dream I realised only last spring. Lots of experiences to enjoy and challenges to overcome but then that's life on the cut.
Oh we like that term Geoff! 😏 we've heard the Rochdale is lovely too? Keep your eye out for us as we'd love to say hello and speak to another fellow boater 🙏 all the best buddy, take care
I will keep an eye out for you both. When you go to Bath you will go right by the side of my home. I live next to the tow path. Keep up the good work. Lots of boaters along my stretch here.
I love watching your adventures - what a lot of energy you need to do this! I love your joy and sense of humour in the face of the challenges. I have subscribed and can't wait for the next episode. xxx
So glad I learned about you two. I wish the two of you and your channel all the best. I will look forward to your weekly adventures. Your smiles and positivity are lovely to see.

Happy to have you along for the ride buddy
ZIVOT VAM JE DIVAN NA TOM.BRODIĆU..TOTALNA SLOBODA ..BRAVO.I POZDRAV OD SRCA..
Thank you Niki x
A tip from me, you can have kind of kitchen drawers on wheels on the floor under the the lower kitchen-cabinets😃. Enjoy your new "small" boatlife!
Thanks Rosa!! We need all of the storage tips and solutions 🤪
I loved the realness of your vid, no dramatic emotional music or super fake editing, it really was a pleasure to watch. keep it up guys i look forward to following your new life.
Thank you so much buddy :) see you tonight at 6pm for the new episode !!
You left us hanging!!! For an entire week! Aaaaargggghh!
I Love The Pub Scene, awesomeness! Meeting new friends, how wonderful. ☮️ &❤
So much fun!
😚
You two are delightful. So happy to have found you 💓
Thank you so much!
Love watching Ursula Andress and Chris Martin (sorry Josh) 😂 Can’t wait for the next video.
Hahaha that is great!! Imagine those two doing a narrowboat channel together lol!!
Such a breath of fresh air to see two authentic lovely people, telling it how it is and sharing a slice of their adventure with us. I live in a city so this is just the kind of nature and escapism I need at the moment! Keep up the good work!!! ❤❤❤

That’s it!!! We are getting apocalypses ready 🤪🤪But seriously it is a beautiful way to live !! 😁✨
If you ever get a night with nothing to do look up Danni and Joe. Narrowboat and van owners and just like yourself, friendly and fun to watch.
Thanks for the tip Les xx
You work together wonderfully
Thank you Daisy xx

We are very excited to paint the outside :)
Hi you guys, I was absolutely fascinated this week to learn about Stern gland grease🤣 I was riveted watching Josh pack that stuff in!

Nice to see you having fun at the Crick boat show too and loving the Brad and Angelina vibe😍
Hope you both have a good week and look forward to seeing you next Sunday 😊
Ohhhhh thanks for the lovely words Wendy!! So pleased you enjoyed the episode Beauty xx
Can’t wait for the next video! ❤ your channel.
Thank you so much Audrey 🤩🙏
This is our Sunday night viewing, so much more real, interesting and entertaining than most on telly! Keep the content coming Ula and Josh. Would love to go for a beer with you Josh and put the world to rights.
Ahhh that’s class to read buddy, thankyou very much. Let’s make that happen soon. It’s been too long! Xx
Oh you two just made my evening.
Yeahhhh!! See you tonight at 6pm Allyson x
What a refreshing vlog. So proud to be one of your first subscribers and loving it. Best ❤
Yeah!! Happy to have you along for the journey xx
Just catching up on past shows, thank you
Nice one Kim xx
Lovely comedy you are natural people keep the stove stoked love from Billy Novax south Spain
Hiya Billy :) thanks for that!! Happy to have you here on the journey with us x
jealous of your new life, but sooo happy for you both!!! keep up the vids, loving it!!!
Thank you so much x New episode out tonight at 6pm ☺️
It’s winding hole as in weather not winding as in cable. It comes from the days of horse drawn boats where the boatmen would use the wind to turn the boat. Much love.
Ohh fantastic!! Haha, thankyou for correcting that, and sharing the back story to it, very interesting 😄
@@UlaandJosh we were in your position 6 years ago when we bought our boat. Everything can seem a bit daunting but you learn fast and everything is amazing. Just wait til spring and summer you won’t regret a thing . Ps. Please don’t use an oven with an open door to warm the boat, very dangerous. C02 x
I'm loving watching your video's you both sound so happy living on your longboat...I have to say that village you went to is stunning with the Tudor style home's with thatched roof's...see you in your next video 💜🇦🇺
Hiya Terri-Ann! So many beautiful villages to explore when travelling by boat! We are getting to know so much about England in such a Short space of time. Feeling very grateful for the life ✨
@@UlaandJosh hi there yes I can hear the excitement in your voices it really is a special time in your lives and one which I'm sure will bring you both so much happiness...doing what you're doing will really strengthen the love you have for each other I'm sure 💜
Amazing it’s like living in an in chanted forest
Ohh that's so true Jan! 🙏 thankyou, glad you're enjoying
An enjoyable first couple of videos; no gilding the Lily or clickbait tactics to attract viewers. Looking forward to watching some more content from you. We live not far from the K&A Canal in Bradford-on-Avon, if you're passing by get in touch, always happy to buy you both a real coffee 😉
Hiya Bob, that’s so kind of you… yes we shall be popping up that way soon :) if you see us make sure to say hi x
@@UlaandJosh What's your boat called? Sorry, I can't remember if you mentioned it in your videos. I wouldn't want to approach the wrong boat 😂
So lovely to escape with you to the tranquillity of the English canals💫
And so great to get an inside view into what it's really like - especially for a couple of newbies muddling through! Keep up the good work! 👍
Thanks so much :) we are really trying to capture life as it unfolds. So pleased you enjoyed the episode! And yessss the English canal network is beautiful… very peaceful and tranquil :) x
See you next week 👍👍👍
See you next week Glyn 😁
You need a bigger plank to walk on and off the boat.
This is a new adventure even for me to watch.
Stay Safe!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the advice Deborah, we need to get a new one anyway as the ones we have are in need of some TLC ! Happy to have you here x
So happy for you both, worked with Boxy back in the days we played firefighters. Loving the content ! #freespririt
Here he is! So lovely to have this blast from the past. Great to be back in contact with you! Thanks a bunch for your support also Andy! Much appreciated my friend x
I'm very envious of y’all. Keep up the vlogging - we so enjoy you adventure. 😊
Thanks so much buddy :) xx
What a charming couple.
We are in our 70’s and have been seriously thinking about buying a boat and returning to live in the Uk after 40 years in Australia.
Hiya Lynne, I grew up in australia!! What an amazing country it is. Happy to be in the U.K. now rediscovering my homeland. It’s a wonderful way to explore
I sure hope you got a better tarp than those u just used !! To leave a reply so quickly was awe inspiring for me. I’ve sat here for weeks after a serious illness with Sepsis diagnosis and I’m now in a nasty flare up of osteoarthritis which needs Oramorph and fentanyl patches watching you two. I’m so jealous I’m crying I’m 71 and sick of life as it is. You go guys do it now. I’m determined to get better and smile but it’s hard very hard. Little lights please be bright…yah see in the cupboards…way to go …..Sunset walk…I’ve open fields behind me with muntjac, feed the foxes every night too….no wild birds as Harris hawks visit scare the life out of my budgies and me when it lands on the flight. Ken is a bright old spark for you both to know and bet he loves it too. Be safe love each other every day. Stephanie U.K. again xxxxx
Oh Stephanie, what a trooper you are. Thank you for being here with us on this new journey. Stay safe also and see you in the next episode xx
Wonderful!! ❤
Thank you Jan :) see you tonight at 6pm for the new episode !!
Love this…I can’t wait to join you on your adventures! X
So happy to have you Susan x

Vi ste srecni ljudi jer zivite onako kako osecate,zelim vam da uzivate u svom novom domu i avanturama koje vas ocekuju.Pozdrav🥰
I live in my campervan, come summer I buy solar candles and other lights I leave by my windows to charge which is great for not worrying about batteries from shops and even drain on my leisure batteries as it all mounts up ,.
USB is good also
That's a great idea! Nice one Robert, enjoy the freedom 👍
WELL DONE... PROPER WATER LIFE. CHEERS!
Looking forward to following on your journey. I wish all you all the very best with it. 👍👍
Thank you so much Craig!! New episode out tonight at 6pm ☺️

I'm really enjoying your videos on living on a narrowboat.
Thanks buddy
I know it's early days, but you both seem so at ease with boatlife, getting your own dog would be a great idea, they can give you so much love. A lovely video

Love you guys, i can’t wait to follow your journey ❤
Thank you Manon :) see you tonight at 6pm for the new episode !!
You are a beautiful couple. I love your metalic green kettle. I remember my mom serving us kids with a boiled egg in a cup with toast,
Maybe porridge in a cup will start a new trend for people living in a small space like a narrowboat to reduce the number of dishes on board.?
What a beautiful memory to have held onto!!! And thank you for the lovely words xxx
The boat looks like its ready for a haul-out and some cosmetic TLC ✅✅
Two fun people with adventure ahead 💙
Oh yes! You're not wrong there Steve! Need to get booked in for blacking ASAP. Looking forward to giving her a good paint job too. Thanks 👍
This is wonderful you guys! And I get to be here from the start! Wow!! So cool!! Much love and well wishes for your new adventure, from USA! 👍🏼🌈❤
Hi enjoyed the vlog If you stern bilge is filling with water check your stern gland make sure it is topped up with grease turn the handle till it tightens after each time your prop shaft has turned that is where the water is probably coming through the stern gland unless it is rain water if so check any drain holes.
Thanks Brian! We think it is the stern gland :)
I'm so impressed with you positivity and adventurous spirit. You are two beautiful gentle natured people , a pleasure to watch , I'm looking forward to seeing how you progress from boating amateurs to canal boat experts . 😀
Ohhhhh thank you so much for the gorgeous feedback! Sooooo happy to have you here with us x
You guys are awesome
Awww thanks buddy x

Thank you :) see you tonight at 6pm for the new episode !!
I loved your second boat video, so authentic! I’m glad you chose to share your journey with us from the start of your life onboard instead of showing us a manicured version when you’d settled in and done everything. I’m really looking forward to following your journey. Your boat is lovely on the inside. Take care, stay safe you two. X
Thank you Shirley!!!! We wanted to document our journey from the start for our families and friends and then thought “hey why not pop it on RUclips” and we have had the most wonderful response so far. Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos! It means so much to us x
Good luck guys on your new life on the water. 'Jethro' looks like a wonderful flome - my term for my own floating home on the Rochdale Canal and a dream I realised only last spring.
Lots of experiences to enjoy and challenges to overcome but then that's life on the cut.
Oh we like that term Geoff! 😏 we've heard the Rochdale is lovely too? Keep your eye out for us as we'd love to say hello and speak to another fellow boater 🙏 all the best buddy, take care
Just found your channel. What a great way to live.❤️
Thank you so much Alison !! New episode out tonight at 6pm ☺️
I will keep an eye out for you both. When you go to Bath you will go right by the side of my home. I live next to the tow path. Keep up the good work. Lots of boaters along my stretch here.
If you see us make sure to give us a wave 👋 xx
I most certainly will
I love watching your adventures - what a lot of energy you need to do this! I love your joy and sense of humour in the face of the challenges. I have subscribed and can't wait for the next episode. xxx
Here's to a ramp that fits the wagon wheels!
😂👍
If you haven't gone to The Barge Inn, Honeystreet. You must! You'll meet a very friendly community of boaters! Not far from pewsey. 🙂
We have been there many times :) lovely community of people in Honeystreet!!
I'm pleased I found your channel, I look forward to your future video's.
Thanks Chris 😁
Fantastic mate. Can’t wait for your next instalment.
Legend Tom! Really love that you’re on this journey every step of the way with us! Really cool
So glad I learned about you two. I wish the two of you and your channel all the best. I will look forward to your weekly adventures. Your smiles and positivity are lovely to see.
Thank you so much Kate!! New episode out tonight at 6pm ☺️
