Has this year gone madly quickly for you too?! We can't believe there's only one month left before the little one is here! Whether you've been with us since the beginning, or if this is your first video you've come across, thanks for joining us this week!! We'd also love to know what your go to winter warmer drink is...comment and let us know! ☕
Jack, I was touched to hear your feelings for Gabby. She is amazing, but so are you. Your baby will have wonderful parents who love, respect and cherish one another. ❤
@@thistinylifeget a beko washing machine they are excellent and quick if you get a digital one takes 28 mins for a 30 degree wash, 38 for a 40, 58 for 60 and just over 1 hour for a 90 which is great they are also silent if you go for a 10kg beko digital washing machine.
Jack, the moment that baby is in your arms is something you will never forget, your life really does centre around baby from now on. Gabby all I can tell you is your body knows what to do and will guide you through the birth. Keep calm, remember to do your deep breathing and just enjoy the gift of a new life. If baby gets half the love you two show each other that is all they need. Food, warmth and love. Exciting times ahead!
I completely understand the feeling you're getting moving the wood knowing it's going to keep you warm in the winter, there's something visceral about providing for yourself be it food, fuel, making your own clothes, building out your home to suit you. It's the basis of life, how we're meant to live not just switching on a central heating controller on the wall. Be yourselves & be happy ❤🌼🌱
Wow only 1 month. Well done on stocking up with the wood. I love how Tilly is part of everything, you are going to be the best loving parents, so thrilled for you both ❤❤
You’ll both be amazing parents - what you’ve achieved over the last few months is huge, and I have no doubt you’ll be ready for the baby to arrive. Ultimately babies are stationary for several months and do nothing but sleep and eat, so you’ll have time to finish things off and childproof the boat before he/she is mobile. You could follow the Scandinavian model and use a cardboard box as a crib for the first few months. Very eco friendly, easy to get hold of and recycle afterwards.
I get the firewood thing... I love a good open fire and it is so satisfying to stock up and know that you will have a cozy fire to snuggle up to during the winter months. You are both so inspiring and we can see the gratefulness that you have for life.... narrowboat living reminds me of growing up at my grandparents cottage and is so nostalgic and I have so many amazing memories and hope the I can experience that again. You truly look like you are living your dream lives and we so love live vicariously through you. 💖
You guys are so lovely. I really enjoy watching your videos and catching up with what's been going on. No one ever feels completely ready to become parents, but I can assure you that it is the most rewarding, beautiful journey you can share. Can't what to meet your new arrival x
I can't wait for baby to arrive! Can't wait to know the gender and the name hehe 😁 I only found your channel about 6 weeks ago, but started from the first video and have rushed them all to watch to present day so I can watch for baby videos without skipping any previous vids 😋🤗 x
Aww bless you guys for sharing your journey and your thoughts with us, just know that baby is gonna be so lucky having u guys as mum & dad, all the best for the coming weeks.❤
Jack and Gabby, I feel privileged to have a peak into your lives. Slow living was a concept I had never heard of prior to finding your channel. You have everything you need to have your baby. They need love and you both have plenty of that! As far as a place to sleep, I had a friend whose baby slept in the drawer of a dresser- not in the dresser - they used the drawer as the crib. It worked perfectly. I do remember on the way to the hospital, me telling my husband, I’m not ready , who thought it was ok for me to have a baby. Turn around I can hold it!! Yes I was adult! It was just the sheer enormity of what was happening. You are about to have the best adventure of your lives! It’s worth every minute. Thank you for a lovely video! Donna
Thanks so much for leaving such a lovely comment Donna! I'm not sure we'll ever feel ready enough... I'll probably say something similar haha. Jack's all for the dresser drawer,.it may make an appearance!
Awww you are both amazing and the baby is lucky to have such loving parents we are so proud of you both and thank you for sharing your story and journey with us all our love your oldies🤗🤗🤗🤗
Absolutely love being invited to look into your tiny world. Thank you for the vlogs, you're a lovely couple- if a bit daft sometimes.....Jack. showering in the cold- priceless! Xxx😊
You both are going to be the best parents. I cannot believe how fast this year as gone. Good luck for the future with you and your new baby. As everyone says you don’t need much for a baby just love. ❤❤
I have been really enjoying your videos. My decendants were barge families and ive always felt an alignment, but so enjoy a first hand depiction of life on the waterways. Thankyou so much, keep warm, enjoy your last few weeks of twosome, life changes alot! x
Another lovely video. Wanted to let you know we finally published the video where Wendy and I had the pleasure of meeting you both on towpath. It was one of the many highlights of our cruise, thank you for your time and yes, Lower Heyford was awesome!👍
You’re both going to be amazing parents - the way you live your life and the love you have for each other and this baby really is evident. As for what you need for bubs at the start - some clothes, some form of nappies, a blanket, somewhere safe to sleep (be that co sleeping or a bassinet) and a car seat are really all you need. A baby wearing wrap and/or a pram are nice to have (if you get a pram with a bassinet it can double as a bed for the first few months if needed), as is a bouncer, but they are by no means essential.
Enjoy so much watching your positive outlook and satisfied lifestyle. Watching your excitement of the coming event brings back memories of our first child.
Good luck with the baby. You will be amazing parents, and yes you need much less than most people think for the baby, somewhere to sleep something to wear, some milk and a big amount of love. ❤ enjoy your time as parents, it's over so soon. ❤
Hi Jack and Gabby. Glad you’ve got a good supply of wood for the stove sorted and the tap for the bath works too. Sending you loads of good wishes for the next month. It’s so good to see how much the baby is going to be loved. I’m sure you’ll make really great parents 🥰 Take care. Nick
Gabby you look so Beautiful ...you both are going to make amazing parents..love your stove...the tiny baby clothes so cute...Soo happy to see your video pop up,been watching for a while now...love your videos 😅 God Bless!!
Jack it’s only a small load but it will keep you warm. We are stocked up with wood in four log stores around the house. With your stove you will end up having the hatch open as it will be too warm. Enjoy.
Aww that was such an emotional video guys, especially at the end jack when you were saying how much gabby means to you, it almost brought a tear to my eye. I'm so glad to be able to follow your journey
I just love you two, you have such a lovely relationship, you care about each other very lovingly. I love to watch, your little doggy Tilly is gorgeous too. See you next week.x
Put a lid on the pan when you go to pour. It will contain all the bits and not spill all over for you! Cheers! Wishing you well with the wee one on the way 💗
Not long now! Just a quick tip for space and water saving baby bathing: get a bucket style tub like Shnuggle or Tummy Tub - they're small enough to fit in a sink and very comfortable for the baby.
. I was lucky to have had my husband in my life for 52 years until his death 2 years ago . Love and be thankful for each other . Time is very precious .
You can buy stores for your wood. My brother and sister in law have a couple of them in their back garden. With pouring the chi, use a ladle, and ladle it into your strainer.
Re your Chai you should put your herbs and spices into a tea infuser so you don’t need to worry about straining the tea. A tea pot would also help more with your directional pouring ….. and no mess. Enjoy. ❤
As a new parent you will always feel like you don't have everything for your little one. It's not until months go by and you realize you actually didn't need all the things you thought you did. As a winter mom my main concern was keeping my little one warm. All I can say is layers is your friend. They need much more than you think especially if the room doesn't stay extremely warm 24/7. If you need anyone to chat with about having a winter baby feel free to reach out 😊.
We live in a "normal" house and have central heating. But we also only use the woodburner. We forage our wood true the year. Saw and chop it together. And i always give me a rich feeling when i see all that wood ready for winter ❤
I love heating with our Woodburner, we forage our wood and I completely get the beginning of winter happy log store feeling.... love you videos guys thankyou 💜🦋💜
Friends of mine had a sailboat and they put their infant into a hammock. One in the bedroom and one in the living room. They basically put the boat in charge of rocking the baby to sleep!
Only just found you guys in the past week and since then I have been struck with a cold 🤧 But you guys have become my comfort channel to watch ! Congrats on the 👶🏼 and I can’t wait to watch you story unfold 🤍
Jack, how wonderful to hear your heartfelt admiration for Gabby. You are both fantastic and so well suited. You have adapted to your new life so well and I am sure are going to make incredible parents. Hope all goes smoothly at the birth, when the time comes,😮 and remember being parents is full of learning curves, with often no right or wrong way of doing things. Listen to others advice, but ultimately follow your hearts and you won’t go far wrong. Blessings to you both and continue to treasure your wonderful way of life. Best wishes Helen 😀 & Barney 🐕🦺
I am enjoying your journey ! I remember when we were expecting our first baby and she was born 40 years ago. Your journey's taking me back through it. A magical and terrifying time. You guys have your priorities right and you'll do great. That little baby is lucky to have you both. I'm in California and I have to say there's nothing here like the British canals.
SO love the baby updates and seeing how you all are doing and getting ready for the winter, the baby clothes look amazing and we are looking forward to seeing more of you all , God bless you both and the baby ~
You are both so sweet. You will be awesome parents. The only advice I got that I really appreciated I will pass on to you. You know your baby best and the decisions you make will always be the right ones for you and baby. I raised my son while renovating or building homes for his whole childhood. We all loved it. A home is where the people and animals you love live, There are a lot of so called beautiful homes without any love in them at all. Be so proud of yourselves. Best wishes from Canada.
Good luck with baby, very exciting. Remember to enjoy it, and good luck doing it on the boat. For pouring from jugs, key is confidence, try to pour more quickly and commit. (Won't try to give you advice on babies, you'll get plenty of that!)
For your tea you need a milk pot. It has a small open spout for pouring. Oh the pot had one. Need to be deeper as you said. My old one, was my grandma's, has a deep spout.
Anyone who has done any living in the wild, whether it be for a weekend, a holiday, or (as in my case) by long-term choice, has to be a bit loopy. But the rewards from doing it far outweigh the temporary inconveniences. Your immediate future is filled with unknowns brought on by the arrival soon enough of another human being who will be totally dependent on you two for everything, including life. You both have good brains and make great choices. No worries!
Thank you for this lovely comment, it was lovely to read ✨ We think we're a bit loopy for living a life this but you're totally right, the rewards outweigh any negatives!
Amazing vlog. well done on getting the wood on board. I think that was so lovely what you said about Gabby being so strong and she is certainly looking great pregnant. Look forward to more. Take care xx just moved onto my boat tonight! Just in time for winter. Anyway good luck with it all. You will both be amazing parents.
Have you got space to make a wood store on the exterior of the canal boat, even a temporary one? Also, get a small ladle - much less mess when getting liquid from pan to mug!
@@thistinylife a SMOL ladle though - not a big one. IKEA used to do them in sets of two - one large, one small. Then hold mug as much over the pan as you can, ladle into mug 😁. I have shaky hands, but have not had a mulled wine/cider emergency since I started using said smol ladle. Also, yes it’s entirely possible to do it non-alcoholic. I am not allowed the good stuff anymore (histamine argh), but I reserve the right to make my mulled wine and cider without alcohol and it is EVERYTHING. I start the first batch at the beginning of December and keep going for the whole month. It deffo tastes better once it’s had time to sit and mature.
You need a purpose made sauce pan to be able to pour without spills. You two are an amazing couple and your baby will have loving parents and be lucky enough to be bought up in nature. Good luck with the birth preparations I hope everything goes easily and well for you. X
I have a wood burner in my house, and I still struggle with space for all the wood so hats off to you!!. I do harvest as many pallets though for free wood that I can get as long as they're only heat treated. Free wood. Burns great.
Hi Jack & Gabby, if the UK is anything like OZ, house prices are unobtainable and renting is equally bad. Young ppl’s choices are, get on the treadmill and be stressed, or do what you have done. Your choice will be much better for your relationship and your child. I’m positive all will be good and I wish you both all the best for the upcoming birth :)
Has this year gone madly quickly for you too?! We can't believe there's only one month left before the little one is here! Whether you've been with us since the beginning, or if this is your first video you've come across, thanks for joining us this week!! We'd also love to know what your go to winter warmer drink is...comment and let us know! ☕
Was all set to try your winter warmer drink but I could not find the recipe that you suggested looked all over your website
I love chai tea. It’s my favorite 😍
Jack, I was touched to hear your feelings for Gabby. She is amazing, but so are you. Your baby will have wonderful parents who love, respect and cherish one another. ❤
Thank you 🥰🥰
It’s never cringy championing the one you love, it was beautiful ❤️
Your baby is very lucky to have such lovely people as parents
Thank you so much 🙏

Having the bath working will be the biggest bonus once baby is here. Everyone bathing, hand washing clothing, bathing puppy in the winter, etc. 😍🇨🇦
Absolutely - feels such a treat having it working!! ✨
Expressing love and admiration is never cringe. Never feel that way; it is beautiful
🥰
Your child is very lucky to be born into such a beautiful and loving life.
Ohh thank you ✨✨

Thanks so much, it really means a lot reading this so thank you for sharing such lovely advice!! 🥰🥰🥰
You did the right thing getting all that wood guys. You will get through it. I had my first baby in December. Lovely time of year to have a baby ❤
Perfect nesting season 🥰🥰
I completely understand the feeling you're getting moving the wood knowing it's going to keep you warm in the winter, there's something visceral about providing for yourself be it food, fuel, making your own clothes, building out your home to suit you.
It's the basis of life, how we're meant to live not just switching on a central heating controller on the wall.
Be yourselves & be happy ❤🌼🌱
Absolutely! Perfectly worded 🥰 thank you ✨
Wow only 1 month. Well done on stocking up with the wood. I love how Tilly is part of everything, you are going to be the best loving parents, so thrilled for you both ❤❤
She's a solid family member ol' Tills! Thank you✨🥰
What beautiful words Jack ❤ you and Gabby are going to be the best parents to your little one and Tilly will be the bestest big sister ❤️
Aww Tilly will be 🥰🥰 thank you!!! ✨

Haha thank you Barbara, we'll take that 🤣 🥰
Nobody, anywhere, is ready for a new baby. If you try, and love, you've got it.
Thank you ✨✨
All the best with your renovations and baby preparations you are both beautiful people, and will be wonderful parents❤
That's really lovely to say, thank you✨
We heated our 1600sq ft home all winter with our wood stove, for 35 yrs. Warm &cozy
You both are going to be the best parents. I cannot believe how fast this year as gone. Good luck for the future with you and your new baby. As everyone says you don’t need much for a baby just love. ❤❤
Hasn't it just - flown by!! Thank you 🥰
You guys! I am so thrilled for the little one about you come into your lives. What amazing parents you will be. Parenting is humbling but beautiful. ❤
Oh thanks so much 🥰
You guys are going to be precious parents.
I have been really enjoying your videos. My decendants were barge families and ive always felt an alignment, but so enjoy a first hand depiction of life on the waterways. Thankyou so much, keep warm, enjoy your last few weeks of twosome, life changes alot! x
Oh how lovely, I hope you can get to spend some time near the canal! Thank you 🥰🥰
Baby just needs food, love, warmth and a cozy bed for now. No problem! Oh, and you did the right thing getting all that wood! xxx
Thank you ✨✨✨✨
The love you guys have for each other is palpable...how lovely...great future parents..keep it up..
Thank you so much 🥰
You'll both be such amazing role models can't wait to see your little bubba xx
That's so lovely to say, thank you 🥰
Another lovely video. Wanted to let you know we finally published the video where Wendy and I had the pleasure of meeting you both on towpath. It was one of the many highlights of our cruise, thank you for your time and yes, Lower Heyford was awesome!👍
Ah was so lovely meeting you both!!! Hope you had an awesome rest of your holiday. We'll give it a watch ✨✨
You two are such loving and beautiful couple Your baby will have such a amazing upbringing.
Thank you 🥰
You’re both going to be amazing parents - the way you live your life and the love you have for each other and this baby really is evident.
As for what you need for bubs at the start - some clothes, some form of nappies, a blanket, somewhere safe to sleep (be that co sleeping or a bassinet) and a car seat are really all you need.
A baby wearing wrap and/or a pram are nice to have (if you get a pram with a bassinet it can double as a bed for the first few months if needed), as is a bouncer, but they are by no means essential.
Thanks so much Claire, really appreciate this!!! We're over halfway there from your list of must haves so all will be well 🥰🥰
Enjoy so much watching your positive outlook and satisfied lifestyle. Watching your excitement of the coming event brings back memories of our first child.
Aw thank you, really lovely to say 🥰
I'm so glad you have a bath. I'd been worried about you. Seeing the way you treat eachother I can tell you will be good parents.
Thank you 🥰 feels like such a milestone!
When you think that it will provide you and your love ones with comfort , its worth it !
🥰
Exciting times ahead!
'Somewhere to sleep and love' very true! You don't need all that much apart from the basics with a newborn.
Thank you 🥰🥰
Good luck with the baby. You will be amazing parents, and yes you need much less than most people think for the baby, somewhere to sleep something to wear, some milk and a big amount of love. ❤ enjoy your time as parents, it's over so soon. ❤
Awww... lovely sentiments at the end. I agree: Gaby is a gem. 😊 (sorry if I misspelled name!)
I think I would need a sturdier plank if I was carrying a baby onto a boat! Love this.
The plank is just for the delivery on the opposite side of the canal! No plank needed where our mooring 🙂
Hi Jack and Gabby. Glad you’ve got a good supply of wood for the stove sorted and the tap for the bath works too. Sending you loads of good wishes for the next month. It’s so good to see how much the baby is going to be loved. I’m sure you’ll make really great parents 🥰 Take care. Nick
Thanks so much Nick! It's reassuring to have the hefty load... let's see how long it lasts!! Thank you✨
You guys are awesome, thanks for a fine update vlog and a well deserved tribute to Gabby. You'll be fine!
Thank you, really kind to say ✨🥰
I am so pleased for you both and am sure you make fantastic parents xx
Thank you ✨
Gabby you look so Beautiful ...you both are going to make amazing parents..love your stove...the tiny baby clothes so cute...Soo happy to see your video pop up,been watching for a while now...love your videos 😅 God Bless!!
Thank you so much! Lovely comment to read 🥰🥰
I pour into a pyrex jug with a wide top. Much less spilled
This is our first year getting prepared with wood ahead of time . Our stove is the heart of our home !
Jack it’s only a small load but it will keep you warm. We are stocked up with wood in four log stores around the house. With your stove you will end up having the hatch open as it will be too warm. Enjoy.
Absolutely, it kicks out a fair bit of heat!!!
Aww that was such an emotional video guys, especially at the end jack when you were saying how much gabby means to you, it almost brought a tear to my eye. I'm so glad to be able to follow your journey
Thanks Stephen for sharing the journey with us ✨
I just love you two, you have such a lovely relationship, you care about each other very lovingly.
I love to watch, your little doggy Tilly is gorgeous too.
See you next week.x
Thank you so much Jayne ✨ See you next week! x
Put a lid on the pan when you go to pour. It will contain all the bits and not spill all over for you! Cheers! Wishing you well with the wee one on the way 💗
That's a great tip, penny drop moment 😅 Thank you!
Lively video thank you,lovely couple all the very best
Thank you✨
Not long now!
Just a quick tip for space and water saving baby bathing: get a bucket style tub like Shnuggle or Tummy Tub - they're small enough to fit in a sink and very comfortable for the baby.
Thank you!!
Wishing all three of you, big hugs and love
🥰
Good you are getting prepared, love following you both and looking forward to your precious arrival
. I was lucky to have had my husband in my life for 52 years until his death 2 years ago . Love and be thankful for each other . Time is very precious .

That must feel so satisfying being able to do the full process including foraging!
I love heating with our Woodburner, we forage our wood and I completely get the beginning of winter happy log store feeling.... love you videos guys thankyou 💜🦋💜
You guys are truly charming and and give me plenty of laughs, thank you.
Oh thank youuu ✨✨
Thanks!
Thank you so much ✨🥰
Friends of mine had a sailboat and they put their infant into a hammock. One in the bedroom and one in the living room. They basically put the boat in charge of rocking the baby to sleep!
Hammock is such a great idea - jack wants to make this, and space saving!
Jack, you and Gabby, you’re the best!
Only just found you guys in the past week and since then I have been struck with a cold 🤧 But you guys have become my comfort channel to watch ! Congrats on the 👶🏼 and I can’t wait to watch you story unfold 🤍
Oh thank you!! Hope you're feeling a little better today 😊😊 glad we can be of a smidge of comfort, that's very lovely to say!
Thanks
Thank you so much, means a lot! 🙏
Jack, how wonderful to hear your heartfelt admiration for Gabby. You are both fantastic and so well suited. You have adapted to your new life so well and I am sure are going to make incredible parents.
Hope all goes smoothly at the birth, when the time comes,😮 and remember being parents is full of learning curves, with often no right or wrong way of doing things. Listen to others advice, but ultimately follow your hearts and you won’t go far wrong.
Blessings to you both and continue to treasure your wonderful way of life. Best wishes Helen 😀 & Barney 🐕🦺
Hey Helen and Barney! Thanks so much for such a lovely comment and advice, means a lot 🥰🥰
Jack it was lovely hearing what you said about Gabby.i always love watching your videos.Have a lovely week all three of you.🩷🩵🦴
Thank you Sally! See you next week ✨
You both will be good parents. Looking forward to the arrival.
Thanks Christine ✨
@thistinylife you are so welcome.
Your baby could grow up without screens and cameras, now that would be a gift
I am enjoying your journey ! I remember when we were expecting our first baby and she was born 40 years ago. Your journey's taking me back through it. A magical and terrifying time. You guys have your priorities right and you'll do great. That little baby is lucky to have you both. I'm in California and I have to say there's nothing here like the British canals.
Thank you so much ✨ The canals are rather special, glad we can share them with you ✨
Chai masala! Chai just means tea 😊 masala means spiced 😁 it's our go to for winter too ☕
Chai club ✨✨
Absolutely love Chai masala. We had our bonfire night Chai a few minutes ago.
You’re going to be wonderful parents! Your baby is so lucky to have you as parents. 😊😊😊 thank you for another great video
That's really sweet to say, thank you 🥰
SO love the baby updates and seeing how you all are doing and getting ready for the winter, the baby clothes look amazing and we are looking forward to seeing more of you all , God bless you both and the baby ~
Thank you so much ✨
Hi Jack, I'd recommend a milk saucepan. You'll pour successfully every time
Wood heat is very cozy. My favorite
i know both of you are going to be brilliant parents and wish you the best of luck in your future adventures
Thank you!
I'm so excited for you two. Bless you and little one.❤
Jack you sweetheart!!
We love you Guys. What a great Vlog. 👍 xxx❤😊
Thank you Glenn 😊😊😊
You will be fine. I managed with 5 children on my boat. It gets better after the first month, cos you get into a routine XXX
Thank youuu, five must have been a bit more of a challenge but amazing! Thank you✨
You two are amazing people, I hope all goes well with the baby, looking forward to seeing a new member of the crew ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍☕️
Thanks so much Nigel ✨✨
Thank you
Love will overcome all obstacles x
You are both so sweet. You will be awesome parents. The only advice I got that I really appreciated I will pass on to you. You know your baby best and the decisions you make will always be the right ones for you and baby. I raised my son while renovating or building homes for his whole childhood. We all loved it. A home is where the people and animals you love live, There are a lot of so called beautiful homes without any love in them at all. Be so proud of yourselves. Best wishes from Canada.
Oh Diane that's lovely advice, thank you so much for sharing ✨
Good luck with baby, very exciting. Remember to enjoy it, and good luck doing it on the boat. For pouring from jugs, key is confidence, try to pour more quickly and commit. (Won't try to give you advice on babies, you'll get plenty of that!)
Ita growing up you need to live it xx
You are an adorable couple. Your baby is going to be loved so much. ❤
Thank you ✨✨✨
For your tea you need a milk pot. It has a small open spout for pouring. Oh the pot had one. Need to be deeper as you said. My old one, was my grandma's, has a deep spout.
Or a ladle... We'll get better 🤣🤣
Anyone who has done any living in the wild, whether it be for a weekend, a holiday, or (as in my case) by long-term choice, has to be a bit loopy. But the rewards from doing it far outweigh the temporary inconveniences. Your immediate future is filled with unknowns brought on by the arrival soon enough of another human being who will be totally dependent on you two for everything, including life. You both have good brains and make great choices. No worries!
Thank you for this lovely comment, it was lovely to read ✨ We think we're a bit loopy for living a life this but you're totally right, the rewards outweigh any negatives!
Amazing vlog. well done on getting the wood on board. I think that was so lovely what you said about Gabby being so strong and she is certainly looking great pregnant. Look forward to more. Take care xx just moved onto my boat tonight! Just in time for winter. Anyway good luck with it all. You will both be amazing parents.
Thanks so much 🙏 hope you had a good first night onboard, welcome to the water!
Where is the link to buy you lovely couple a coffee? Enjoy your maternity leave! ❤
Oh thank you so much ❤️❤️ it's in the description! X
Love a cup of Chai in the winter but you both need to learn how to pour slowly. 😂
Good luck with the baby. You will be fine.
You will be great parents
Hopefully better at parenting than pouring 🤣 thank you ✨
Heartwarming video... thanks and the best of luck.
Thank you 🥰
Have you got space to make a wood store on the exterior of the canal boat, even a temporary one? Also, get a small ladle - much less mess when getting liquid from pan to mug!
Ladle definitely needed... We'll have a wood store on the towpath eventually!!
@@thistinylife a SMOL ladle though - not a big one. IKEA used to do them in sets of two - one large, one small. Then hold mug as much over the pan as you can, ladle into mug 😁. I have shaky hands, but have not had a mulled wine/cider emergency since I started using said smol ladle. Also, yes it’s entirely possible to do it non-alcoholic. I am not allowed the good stuff anymore (histamine argh), but I reserve the right to make my mulled wine and cider without alcohol and it is EVERYTHING. I start the first batch at the beginning of December and keep going for the whole month. It deffo tastes better once it’s had time to sit and mature.
You need a purpose made sauce pan to be able to pour without spills. You two are an amazing couple and your baby will have loving parents and be lucky enough to be bought up in nature. Good luck with the birth preparations I hope everything goes easily and well for you. X
Thank you so much ✨
I have a wood burner in my house, and I still struggle with space for all the wood so hats off to you!!. I do harvest as many pallets though for free wood that I can get as long as they're only heat treated. Free wood. Burns great.
Can't beat free wood and heat treated! Competition along the canal for pallets is high along the canal 🤣

Hi Jack & Gabby, if the UK is anything like OZ, house prices are unobtainable and renting is equally bad. Young ppl’s choices are, get on the treadmill and be stressed, or do what you have done. Your choice will be much better for your relationship and your child. I’m positive all will be good and I wish you both all the best for the upcoming birth :)
