    Hi from Victoria in Australia; we are into our 5th lockdown here, but given we moved last year from Tasmania, we are actually in our 8th lockdown. We have watched your journey from beginning to now. Love you energy and optimism; I wish we were over there supporting your efforts. I think you need an A Board to put out on the tow path to advertise your offerings. Yum. And we noticed you have swapped your engagement ring for wedding rings; do tell!!! Stay safe, loving watching you every night. Makes our lockdown go faster. Donna & Denis XX

    You could do with some shelves on the bank side windows to display your cakes, maybe the shelves could be swappable from one side of the boat to the other. Your customers can see what's on offer and prices etc Just a thought ?

    Hi Jo, Vic, Loved this week's Vlog, it reminds me of a "fly-on-the-wall" Documentary, but without all the shouting. Love the way you both talk to each other, so nice. I hope you enjoyed your trip to the Post Office Jo. Enjoy you're cruise to the next destination. Take care both.

    Those were some quality pasture-raised eggs! Happy chickens - orange yolks! I've traveled in an RV for 10 years. It's always sad to leave but then I always wonder what awaits me at the next stop. Every stop has something special that the others don't. It's like living life on fast forward. You learn detachment.

    Lots of excitement by the sound or it. Someone knocked off their bike. Air Ambulance landing close by. I never did work out who was injured!
    You are both doing so well with Holly. It’s going to be busy for you at Easter weekend. How kind of someone to give you eggs, considering how many you must use in those super looking cakes. Your fame is spreading far and wide, but it’s hard work for you Joanna. We could see you were almost asleep at the end. Best wishes to you both from Lionel and Mary xx

    Coffee - doesn’t matter whether you are 7g or 16g portion the Tamping controls the amount of flavour. The heavier the tamping the longer the filtration flow, the stronger the flavour. Too heavy defeats the object because you do need flow.
    East African Arabica is floral & fruity with light acidity
    Central & South American will have Nut & Bakery aroma, should pair well.
    Asian Arabica & all robusta’s have a Pipe tobacco, spicy aroma. Intense & bitter with persistent aftertaste.
    First two if paired with plant based are better with Oat & Almond. Robusta better with Soy to enhance the aroma and aftertaste.
    Richness effected by length of roasting & grind from freezer
    I could be biased 🤣. I prefer the South American’s, higher altitudes, single estates. Each to his own.
    Love your RUclips’s.

Zero should start easier in the cold. 2cups of flour, 3 eggs, 300mls of tomato sauce, should appear on the screen as Jo cooks?? Sorry for being a bit excited about you two. I can see Vic is really into his coffee, but more protein is called for. Take care.

    first off I love your channel and what your doing. I wish I could buy one of your cakes but by the time I got it I think it might be a bit on the stale side. (I'm on the other side of the pond.)
    Just a thought for Nick. you mentioned the coffee in the morning taste different and you think its because the beans are colder in the morning then they are during the rest of the day. So, why not try a little experiment. since you grind your own beans for your coffee maker. Why not measure out then umber of beans it takes to make a cup and refrigerate them or freeze them for an hour or two and find out if your theory is right. I know here at my home if I keep my coffee for my coffee maker in the fridge it always smells fresher and seems to taste better to.
    Also have you ever considered baking with goose eggs?

    I had a friend gift me some homemade Apple 🍎🍏 Butter and on RUclips I found out you can also make 🍑 Peach Butter I used fresh peaches then remembered my dad had purchased frozen 5lb bags I used a slow cooker but graduated to a insta- pot pressure cooker & air fryer my friends love it I keep jars as gifts and thank yous. Just met you gifts. As I cook it down so much I use cling can peaches and the fresh frozen. You can't tell the difference. I use way less sugar than called for. I also get 4oz jars and make baby food before adding anything to the Apple or Peaches. I almost bought 10lbs of purple 🍇 grapes to make jelly. I held off to look over the instructions. It said at the end instead of capture of the juice from grapes and the mess that goes with. Get 100% Welches pure grape juice add 7 cups of sugar. I thought or for .99 cents buy the Grape Jelly and save all the time & money. I absolutely love the Butters you can do Banana but it turns rapidly. Only did it a few times. It's outstanding on oats it hot cereal and ice cream. I put some hot out of the pot. The 🍑 melts the ice cream. On your breads hope you try out making some. I jar it up last for 18 months. Your both great the perfect wife that lets her man act as if he's in charge in public... Lol great mom & dad I love in Corpus Christi, Tx and would love to travel the narrow chanel's in a N. Boat. Maybe I can make it happen I would do my best to look you up. God Bless
