    What a dream! We've just bought our first narrowboat. Having a cafe on a boat takes the dream to another level

    I’m not really one to comment on RUclips videos but the music while Jo was making cake is worth a comment. Absolutely 10/10

      I don't agree.. hardcore urban soundtrack to baking cakes on a canal boat is not my taste and for me it's spoilt the video, which would otherwise have been excellent

    A dream becomes reality. Savour these moments and believe me when I say they are special. Fast forward 30/40 years and you will have great memories. What you are doing together is very, very, special. Now then.....we know Holly inside out but what about Zero. She looks very special and mustn't be left out. Big rivets, lovely woodwork, loads of character......come on give us the low down on her history and story.

    The uneven layers of the cake kinda prove that you bake them on the narrowboat, quite a tell & a feature! Congrats! Scarves! I kept thinking of the snow going down both your necks! Brrrrr

    I live 100 miles North of Green Bay Wisconsin and have been following your vids from the beginning. I am retired and would love to sell everything and get out of America and spend time on the Canals. Wish you the best of luck in your adventure, keep the videos coming so I can live vicariously through your trials. Tim Grossmann.

    Hi I’ve binged watched every one of your blogs👍. Wonderful. 2 things I’d do..... First put an advertising board 50 metres from each end of Holly so that people have time to say to each other “Fancy a coffee?” “ Yes, what a good idea!”☕️☕️🙂. Second Put locking nuts on the handles of your portholes before they “walk”😉

    Vic, would you and Jo consider making a video showcasing Ben and Sylvie's boat Home Oak? Ask them to give us a tour, give us a tour, maybe see some of Ben's work other than the front hatch which I think is superb craftsmenship!

    Ooohhhhhh Cakey Bakey 😋 looks amazing don't be so hard on yourself Jo looks amazing and i bet it tastes just as amazing!
    Good job sending Vic down the hatch he's the man for the job! Makes for rapid detritus removal when it's cold! Nice having the deck hatch though slightly more desireable than clambering under the deck like I do in Freya
    Vic and chainsaw . . . . Be careful lad 👍

    Time to "big" you both up: Totally loving your slick, engaging, creative, quirky style of vlogging. Most professional on the editing front too!! ... I'm not the first to comment, but wish to reinforce that you are both soo unbelievably "good looking" and well suited it's not funny!! ... The ways in which you both present yourselves on camera are seamlessly natural and captivating. Finally your content continues to be positively engaging and absorbing. Job well done - You can stay 👍😆🥰 ... Frm Wurzel in NZ 🙃 Oh and keep them there recipes coming, they are delish!!

      Hi Vic why don't you see if you can still purchase the thick black rubber gloves that come all the way up your arm I used to use them years when roding drains wort a thought,can't wait for your cafe to take off.

  • @lionelmarytravels6003
    @lionelmarytravels6003 3 года назад

    Nothing wrong with that cake. Once the icing or covering is on it, no one would know. We would have bought a slice or two from Holly.
    I’m glad Holly was okay after you got back to her. You never know who’s around these days. I’d hate for anyone to damage her whilst your back is turned. You’ve both come a long way and I’m so pleased for you. All you need now is for some better and drier/warmer weather. See you next time.

    Glorious homecoming reunion of the fleet happy ending... Maybe a anvil or two set on the opposite side of the boat somewhere will help to level it out... That or another fridge or range of some type? Maybe a heavy ice cream maker to go with the mouth watering vanilla and chocolate cake...

    @stanleyclark7758 3 года назад

    I know exactly how you both feel about Holly. She is now part of your family and helpless without you both to care for her. You would have kicked yourself if you had left her and something had happened. I can understand wanting to get away for a while, but always leave her in the trusted care of someone. I hope that when we are freed up from total lockdown, you are able to begin coffee service proper. As somebody previously mentioned, some signage on the towpaths will probably help, and maybe messaging the canal community as to your whereabouts! The very best of luck in this venture. Take care and stay safe. Stan

  • @wolfk4213
    @wolfk4213 3 года назад

    That's the human experience in a way, isn't it. We navigate our lives and get through things fine generally; but, much of the time we worry about our concerns which, once solved, disappear and are immediately replaced by new concerns. Not to overstate it, but we do spend a lot of time worrying about things that didn't matter in the end. If we keep failing at something we tend to try something else but, somehow, that doesn't apply to worrying about things that keep failing to remain a problem. It may just be human nature. Lovely cake. Great video.

    The best cakes I have had were home made and wonky in one way or another! Thank you for your vlog - I have been to Swarkestone many times; once on a rented canal boat, but often walking from Chellaston, where I used to live (prior to 1957!). Thanks for the memories, and I hope Vic warms up soon!!! (Phil)

    One of my favourite cakes is Kouign-Amann. a Brittany delicacy a lardy bun type cake. Know of it?
    We worked for many years in the sector that you are about to pursue but on land and had great success with hot jam doughnuts. Pop them in the microwave, don't forget to warn the client that the jam is rather hotter than the outside. Needs a bit of trial and error to get the timing right but that can be fattening fun.

  • @paulayala4816
    @paulayala4816 3 года назад +1

    The panic of a level cake. My mom used to make wedding cakes and was very good at it. Two things she would always say, "it doesn't matter how pretty the cake looks if it tastes like crap" and "there is no mistake which cannot be covered up with frosting." Looks really cold out there, poor Vic needs a better hat.

  • @yeoldfart8762
    @yeoldfart8762 3 года назад

    I think on sailboats they have stoves that stay level while the boats rock. Can't think of the term for the mount. Too late for that but they may make something that you'd fit in the oven that would hold the pan level. The plate would need a ball centered underneath with a weighted pendulum. The ball would fit into a stand and be able to swivel all ways. It's old tech stuff.
    Good to have you back.

    @rosemary5531 3 года назад +6

    I have a heck of a lot of respect for you both. I was surprised when you decided to leave Holly behind simply because of the thousands of pounds worth of boat and other goods onboard which could have been damaged if not stolen! I'm with Vic., I couldn't have slept for worrying about Holly! This was a surprise video which popped up as soon as I logged on to RUclips! Thank you for taking us along. Love your positive attitudes. Oh, btw, did you fill up with water and get rid of your rubbish?

    • @HollyTheCafeBoat

  • @MrOVERANOUT
    @MrOVERANOUT 3 года назад

    What a hero. I can fully understand Vic's apprehension on leaving Holly. Your cake looked delicious. Had it been perfect one could believe it to be shop bought. But imperfections like a slightly wonky cake and no doubt the exceptional taste would quickly dispel that theory.
    I love the Nora Battye look. You just need the wrinkly stockings. But seriously you both deserve all the success after putting so much time and effort into this venture.
    You need to pre-notify your location so that gongoozelers can visit to sample coffee and Wonky Holly Cake or whatever menu you put out.
    I would eat that cake too. 😉

  • @katedhotman9282
    @katedhotman9282 3 года назад +1

    You guys are very sweet, and I hope Holly works out as a business for you guys! As a fellow filmmaker and editor, may I suggest you get more POV and close up cutaways of the things you're working on / baking / labels etc. Quite a lot of the time, you're referring to something you're holding or working on, and we don't get to see it. And to avoid underexposed and shaky footage - you might have an easier time just shooting on an iPhone with a gimbal for stability instead of your DSLR. Just a little bit of feedback if you don't mind! You guys are so likeable, I'd love to see more of you :)

  • @americanrambler4972
    @americanrambler4972 3 года назад

    I would suggest consider making the “wonky” cakes a marketing feature of your cafe offerings, and market them as such. Also look into a self righting gamble mount for your stove. Lock it in place for cruising and let it gimble while tied up and cooking. Your cafe boat looks great! The snow video is cool.

But your enthusiasm and personality alone deserves to make the cafe boat a great success.

    Two comments:
    1) I was drinking coffee when the Princess Leia image was shown. Now I've got coffee everywhere from laughing so much.
    2) Never apologise for a home made cake looking "rustic". Believe me, I have eaten more than my fair share of home baking over the years. That cake looked wonderful.i would have paid good money for a piece.
    Best wishes to you both during this rotten weather. Stay warm, and keep well.

Good luck with the business. You both deserve success. You both seem willing and able to accomplish something special in your new careers.
