    I sped through it as I was bored to death, and not in the least interested. I'll soon be unsubscribing if this is a taste of future videos.

      What did you expect from a Canal boat video? Jet Ski's and Surfboards. You must be joking. This is what canal life is about. Subbed.

    Ahoy me matey's!
    A Flashback scenery from my childhood when we were off on our nature missions outside catching sticklebacks /newts/ frogs & water boatman along the canals in Brum, on a hot summer's day with the glorious sights & sounds of nature. We didn't have any problems back then.
    We would come back home with jam jars full of all sorts from our day's catch.
    This is a fantastic vlog.
    More ❤️ to you both not forgetting the little ones🐕🐕 cheers guys ☕

    Greetings from Taiwan. After two hectic days this was just the balm I needed recalling cruising this canal some 52 years ago.. Thanks for all your vlogs. After 40 years in the Far East I still love the English cut.

    • @FloatingOurBoat
      @FloatingOurBoat  Месяц назад +1

      Wow, that is a long time away but I guess the peace of the canals is definitely something that would always be missed

    Wow! That was gorgeous. We bought our boat at Overwater and brought it up to Yorkshire. We didn't have time to go through Audlem locks and beyond. We will have to go back when we have a chance. Oh, and the Shroppie Fly was shut each time we visited too 😂

    Beautiful Shropshire. Have just discovered your channel so am going back to the beginning and ‘binging’!! An amazing lifestyle for you both. Reminds me of “ stop the word and get off”!! We are in NZ and spent 7 years pottering around our country in our motorhome, biking and walking as we went. But how amazing what you are doing.. We lived in England back in the early 2000’s for a few years and spent all our off time enjoying all the beautiful walks, especially along tow paths - exploring England. Watching you is a lovely ‘re-visit’. Love your videos, thankyou so much for sharing all this.❤

    • @FloatingOurBoat
      @FloatingOurBoat  Месяц назад

      Thank you for watching and especially for going back and watching our story. What an amazing adventure you must have had travelling NZ in a motorhome. We have considered doing this ourselves to reach parts of the UK that we can't reach by boat. I'm glad you are ejoying another look and UK through our travels.

    @kanders7391 Месяц назад +1

    I was watching an old video of yours where you talked about the problems with the bank when you don’t have a stable address & just correspond through your daughters address. My grandparents had the same problem when they decided to sell their house & live traveling with a big trailer, driving all over the USA visiting towns & camping in national parks. We handled their correspondence & just sent it to them if it was important. They could cheaply pay for a Post Office Box in the nearest town to where they were camping & get the mail there in the big envelope we put it in. You should have not bothered to tell the bank where you were, and when they mailed the paperwork for signature, your daughter could just send it on to a P.O. Box near you. Then you mail it back from where you are and if they ask about the post mark just say you “live with your daughter at the address you gave”, but you are “on holiday a lot” because you are retired and you had your mail forwarded to you. When dealing with the doctor, say the same. You are on holiday a lot but need to pick up your meds. Its none of his business that its a permanent holiday. Give the doctor the closest location of a dispensary. My mother gets hers at a local pharmacy & prescriptions can be sent to one anywhere. Prescriptions should be forward-able for local pick up or seniors couldn’t ever go on extended holiday anywhere.

    • @FloatingOurBoat
      @FloatingOurBoat  Месяц назад

      Thank you for your thoughts. The doctor is much easier now as we can get registered anywhere and we did eventually get the bank to understand. We know we could lie, but we didn't see why we should. We are quite happy not to have a permanent address and this shouldn't be a problem to them.
