You're videos are NOT rubbish. They are a right good laugh. Great to see you looking better Rich.
Your vlogs are not rubbish, as you say!!! That is why you are growing! It's because you two are just being you, and let us all into a part of your life. I always look forward to a new notification of a new vlog!
Can't wait for the pub one, once they finally open again......
We can't wait either.
27k subscriptions now from your astonishing 10k. You sel deserve even more. You’re content is just lovely to watch.
We can't believe we have that many subscribers, Thanks for being one of them.
Laughed when Fran had parked and brought the boat to a halt and Rich gallantly took over.
If you get stung by a nettle there is always a dock leaf nearby and if you rub that on the sting it takes away the pain...(you may already know this 😊)
Fran, when we were kids we used to pick nettle leave by pinching then between finger and thumb in the middle of the leaf away from the stingy edges. Once picked then usually don’t sting. A slow and accurate attack works better than a quick snappy grabby attack. Give it a go and let me know if it works for you :-)
Well earned... congratulations x
Being a know all after boating since 1995, Fran, at 7.09 you step off the boat and to slow the boat you wrap the rope around your hand and pull. Doing this under other circumstances with 20T of boat it would crush your hand. This is bad practice as we used to say in Health and safety meetings years ago at work. You were stood by a bollard, the correct and safe way is to take one turn around the bollard and ease the pull on the rope to slow / control the boat. Sorry if this rubs you up the wrong way ,I'm just trying to pass on years of boating experience. Stay safe.
Not rubbing me up the wrong way at all Brian. You've been doing this for 25years, I've been doing it for 2! I'll give that a go. Thank you
being a know all sailing since the 70's I will second that... never ever wrap a rope around your hand nor pull on a boat that weighs more than you do... always use the friction of the rope against a cleat or bollard (or strapping post on canal). I've seen people pulled into the water or crush their knuckles so badly they cant grip properly for days.
I would suggest using the engine to slow the boat to a stop, rather than pulling on the rope. Certainly this is what was taught on the RYA helmsman course. I think it does mean you are in control, rather than the boat! Willow Wren have a couple of videos on this: ruclips.net/video/rsCCI-eOiIk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/uebz3C6j7Ak/видео.html
Why are you surprised, you are wonderful, kind, intelligent people. I've been following since the beginning and you never disappoint. Glad to see Rich up and about and obviously feeling better. Fran, I have two color books on L.S. Lowry and would love to send one to you. Is that possible? Jane, Philadelphia
Hi Jane that is really kind of you. If you send us an email to info@floatingourboat.com I will give you our daughters address.
Are you are 10,000 or 100,000 because you have 100,000 in your pinned comment.... Beside all that really nice to see Rich up and about.
PS I remember right at the start watching Fran walking the dogs down the side of a field next to a hedgerow talking about buying your boat. Yes I have been around since the start and love watching your channel
Hi Trev. Definitely not 100,000. Rich has corrected that now. I think it was all going to his head a bit. Thank you for sticking with us from the beginning xx
@@FloatingOurBoat It made me smile, and that's what it is all about. Being a bit of a numbers person, it jumped out at me straight away. I will always be subscribed, love watching you guys, down to earth, say it as it is, not trying to get viewers through drama, just straight up videoing.
Goodness I so glad you go through that one Rich, and Fran, you weren't even touched! Our middle daughter got the dreaded lurgy 1 week before last Christmas. So all our celebrations were scuppered. Hope this winter is kind. Good health.
Congratulations Glad to see you . are back on your feet take care you guys ( real nice battery set up )
You guys, Foxes Afloat and Cruising the Cut really are the 'Go To' Vlogers for me. Your content is interesting and amusing, you all are very professional with your presentation plus you're all good buggers! Inviting people into your lives, as you have, means that we all very much feel like we know you and have an interest in your well being. I'm Dairy Farming in New Zealand, you're living on a narrow boat in England, RUclips allows us to enjoy and experience a completely different life style and environment. Keep it up you two, take care. Cheers.
Hi Craig. Thank you for your lovely message. Maybe you should start a RUclips channel on dairy farming in New Zealand. We would definitely find it interesting xxx
@@FloatingOurBoat Cheers Fran. Maybe I should. I also fly a Convair 580 between NZ and the Chatham Islands and NZ to Norfolk Island. Internal night freight between Auckland and Christchurch as well as Metroliner aircraft all over NZ. RUclips Air Chathams and check it out. Keep well. xx
Hi guys, the kitchen is looking lovely. Nettles are soooo nutritious, good idea to add to a curry Fran.
Happy that Rich has recovered from the flu. Time for sun and fun.🌿🍲
It's NOT rubbish! Well done on 10K, well deserved. Your videos at this trying time, are a balm to the soul, I've been watching some of your earlier ones, to help pass the time.
Julia.
Ah thank you so much Julia xx
Congrats guys on the 10K.... Well deserved it is to.... Glad to see Rich is on the mend....Fran please please mind the comments about rope work.... Your present technique is going to land you in the water or emergency room... Please take care... You guys keep safe.... And thanks for living my dream....
Hi to you both. You're looking so much better Rich, thank goodness.
Good that you're such a go-ahead couple, able to forage, especially when veg is in short supply, to obtain the nutrients needed.
I'm enjoying the virtual journeys and banter, with curry and nettle pasties along the way..nice one. Reminds me of my own boating adventures. I was supposed to be coming back to the UK in April for 2 to 3 months.....on the back burner now of course.
Support and ideas of others proved to be invaluable to me when I was going through the mill, so I'm glad if you've found some of them useful too.
Take care, love and best wishes from India.
✨🙏💖☀️🏵️✨
Its a lovely channel, well deserved.
Orange and brown, real 70-ties style, just lacking the dark green.
Well done guys. It will keep growing. Thanks so much for your great entertainment. Really enjoy everything you do. Stay safe 👍🏻
I've watched every episode. Hope your feeling better Rich and that you won't get sick Fran.
Thank you for all your support over the years xx
Happy you are feeling better, Rich. Fran, take care of your shoulder. Just recently found your channel and I am thoroughly enjoying it!
Welcome aboard Velma and thank you for watching
Really glad Rich is better
Delighted to see Rich doing so much better. Fran, you stay well and keep that lad in line! Rich needs to give you a good warm shoulder rub! Congrats on the 10k!!!
Rich, not as orange as you’re pumpkin looking?
I quite agree
Fran x
Congratulations.
Spring looks very nice indeed.
We have another 3 inches of snow and it's still just above 0° F at night.
Well done with your subscribers, yes I have going through all your trips ! Thanks guys . Hopefully you will enjoy our part of the world we live close to marple on the peak forest canal ,
hip hip herraaay!!!!!!.......way to go. hope you all are keeping safe...foot looks good
best to you both
thx chris and shell
Thanks you two xx
Congratulations on 10K. Part of why we watch aside from the wonderful videos is your personalities draw us in to your wonderful experience whether relaxing or showing us the more difficult part. Thanks. Btw any history behind the red brick country house would be appreciated.
All I can remember about the house is that when the canal was built, it crossed their land and in exchange for allowing the construction the owners insisted on an ornamental fence being put up alongside the canal to improve the view from the house, and the fence is still there.
Very heartwarming to see you both well ."The love you take is equal to the love you make"...Be safe! you are much appreciated.
Always a cheer to catch up from you. I hope you are feeling better now.
Great achievement on 10k subscribers. Very well deserved. What an enjoyable video - as ever. Take care.
Well done kids👍10000 subscribers enjoy your videos.
Hi Fran & Rich hope you are both well and hope that Rich is feeling a lot better and fully recovered from his illness, I wont say the word on you tube as its a banned word from what ive heard, sending you both love take care stay safe
Hi from Australia I went back to the beginning and have been watching all your videos and are thoroughly enjoying them I have always been fascinated by your canals. Thanks for sharing and stay safe 👍👏
Hi Ingrid. Thank you for joining us from Australia x

Thank you xx
Hi Rich and Fran, well I guess you might have to employ a secretary to look after your numbers. must take hours reading your support. Great show again and glad you have got the batteries done,. John .. NZ
That curry looked so yummy and congrats on your 10K well deserved xxx 👍🙏
We’ll done to you both. Lovely channel, your helping to keep us sane in the lockdown. Hope you haven’t had too many problems with busy tow paths and are managing to get supplies. Stay safe👍🙂
The towpath has been quite busy, but everybody needs the fresh. We have actually put our planters alongside the boat to give us a little distance, but it is a fairly wide oath here. Most people are being considerate
Congrats on 10k.. well deserved. Curry puffs they call them here.. mini spicy cornish pasties.
Glad to see you looking so much better. Congratulations on the subscribers. Yay!
I do admire your resourcefulness. Can we have more foraging hints please? The cooking hints are great too.
Loved those little bird feeders you made a few vlogs back.
I enjoy your vlogs very much! I love all the work you have done on Constanze.
My dream would be to retire and by her when your new boat is ready! ❤️
And Fran, I have taken notes on your foraging information. Currently we only forage local mushrooms but I look forward to trying nettles this spring.
Congrats guys. enjoy watching yall from Texas.
Glad to see you look fully recovered from the virus, Rich!
You deserve every one of those 10,000 subscribers - and more! You're now on the way to the 20,000. Happy to see that Rich seems to be recovered.
Thanks for the ❤️ you lovely pair!!!... good to see the pre 🦠 World!!!! Hope you are fighting for and ticking off that ENORMOUS job list 🤔😬😂❤️🌱💚
Erm,,,,,,, the job list is unchanged at the moment. We made a great start for 2 days then stuff got in the way. Hope you're both ok xxx
The job list is still the same. We made a great start for 2 days then stuff got in the way. Hope your both OK xxx

Good to see you looking so much better and a very positive attitude with it.
Congratulations also on reaching the ten thousand subscriber mark
This appears to be recorded before Rich fell ill. 😷🤨
Yes it was Tracy x
Well-done for the 10k. You're a quality item! Thanks for the videos, great to see Rich back in full force.
Martin Wray filmed before he became ill- the new batteries featured in an earlier vid. Hopefully he is on the mend though!
Your electrician did a good job and it’s so much neater. Well done on 10k well deserved
Hall Green. The best motorcycle ever made. VELOCETTE. German engineering.
Richard it is far from rubbish,keep on keeping on
Well a new one ‘watching your rubbish!’ Lol - hope you are both well. Love watching.x
Thanks for watching X
Doing well with your subscribers well done, it's so good to see you have got over your scare. I have told my misses that she should look for nettles so we can put it in our Currys, thanks for the tip. Just a matter of getting foot and shoulder good the warm weather will sort that. Good luck with all you do.
Regards Paul osman
Thanks Paul. Any relation to Richard Osman? 😀
I feel your pain, Fran. Could not pull up my pants either! Even had pain as I raised my wine glass for a toast New Year’s Eve!! After trying cortisone shots with little results, Dr sent me to a physical therapist. Much, Much better, but MUST keep up the simple exercise routine 4 yrs later to keep limber! Was told it was the rotator cuff. My favorite exercise (which was painful when I started it 4 yrs ago) is to use stick or hiking stick and holding it out front of your body with both hands raise stick overhead, hold 3 secs, lower out front again. Stick keeps your arm straight and good shoulder helps support bad shoulder in exercise. A couple of other ones too I could share, but I still do this one everyday to keep the shoulder limber and lubricated. 👍Good luck❤️
😇🙏👍🏻🥰brilliant as usual,glad your looking better Rick, and congratulations on the 10k well deserved I say,informative once again 🇬🇧👍🏻 tc and safe the pair of you ,Dave&Faye in sunny ☀️ Cornwall,wild garlic,pan fried with mushrooms peppers and pasta nice meal there,perhaps you should look at foraging cookbooks on line💡( was a chef for (40 years 😒) not so stressed now😂just an idea
Brilliant and you're feeling better too❤
No rubbish on THIS channel!!! Love to you both! It's brilliant! So glad we got to watch u forge, Fran, thanks! Especially helpful 2 have prep instructions! Have fun, take very good care of yourselves! My hip replacements are both on hold, so I'm bedridden & loving watching all your fun! Peace! Q
well done guys, spotted you on this stretch, blamed you for me being on a hire boat, we were lucky when we returned it the world shut down, thanks to Fran for sticking her head out and saying hello. Stay safe.
Hi, we remember seeing you. Glad you managed to get your trip in when you could xx
Good to see Rich looking better 👍
We are so glad you both are well at this point. What a scare you had!. ...We even watch the RUclips Ads, just for Floating Our Boat! (adds often are repetitive and terrible, yet we endure because we know there is revenue.
Ah, thank you. It all helps x
Keep it up
You seem a lovely couple doing what a lot of people would like to do.
Will keep watching, keep smiling nice to watch anytime.
Want one myself ..
Thank you Mark
Congratulations on 10K subs. Glad Rich is feeling better, keep safe the both of you.
When we lived in the Shetland Islands we used to eat stinging nettles. A good iron-rich substitute for spinach. The nettles grew lushly around the cover of our septic tank.
Ah, they love the rich soil!!
hi im soooo happy to see Rich is doing so well its amazing news im very happy for you both please stay safe and hopefully this time next year youll have 20k subscribers
Great to see you both well. 🤗
Very nice of you Chris!
Have you ever looked at solar showers? . My friend lives in a van. He has 7 solar shower bags . Each time he's at a water point ( service station) . He fills them up and stores them . They don't take up a lot of space. He then leaves them out in the sun when he needs a them for a few hours. Then they're hanged in his van for a 6 minute shower.
That's s good idea. We'll have s look.x
Great to see you are both ok now please keep up the good work your doing
Congrats on reaching 10,000 subscribers . We are happy to see Richard is doing well . Maybe we can get a little tune out of him now lol.
Oh No! Don't encourage him! 😁
it's ALL down to the strong lady .
Congrats Fran and Rich. 💛💛
Thanks Annie xx
I've always thought you guys were a great couple, great personalities! YaaaY for you guys!
P.S.: I thought your clothes collars were very nice! Not a faux pas!
Thank you so much xx
Well done guys with the 10K. Well deserved❤️
I remember the fist time we used nettles I was convinced they were going to have a laxative effect😳 but they didn't, curry looked nice by the way Fran.
😱Thats one hell of a to do list, I thought mine was long but Rich's is much longer ( just read that back, sounded a bit weird😂)
Ha ha! Bragging again 😂
At last ! Someone else who puts nettles in the curry . I enjoy your wild plant inclusions.
Thank you
Did you know that stingy nettles are good after boiling them put them in a bucket and they are great for psoriasis, my mum made some for her friend once who had this all over her feet and she soaked her feet in the bucket for a little while and the Psoriasis was gone never had a problem again.
Here you say you got 10,000, and now you've had 1 million. I'm getting through the past, to catch up. Thanks you keep me sane - In my motorhome.. we are grounded. My husband is going through chemo just listening to Fran with her sore shoulder. Try a chiropractor. Mine was fixed after years of pain. I feel sorry for you, it's really painful.
PS use your bag to pick nettles, like you would pick up a dog poo!haha
Hi Marion, sorry to hear about your husband, but thank you so much for watching our little videos in your motorhome. My shoulder is fine now after about 8 months of exercises and physio. It was one of the most painful things I have experiences.
Yeah what a load of rubbish , no , 10,000 like watching your vlogs , it's good to see a down to earth couple sharing their boating life with others . Keep on doing it and stay and out of trouble and stay safe , well apart from your shoulder Fran and Rich's foot , stay healthy :-)
Very well done 10000+ .good to see on the mend .
Great video! Glad to see you both up and about.
well deserved guys you deserve all you get superb guys well done
❤ foraging for nettles! I bet it was good in the curry
It was lovely
At the water point Fran brought the boat gently to the side and then with centre line in hand she went onto the towpath and pulled the boat to a stop. Just as the boat came to a halt, Rich appears and says to Fran "Give me that. Let me do that. You mind your shoulder". Fran did not say a word and let it go or so I thought. A little later on the 'We have a list' of jobs came out. Rich says " They're not blue jobs or pink jobs..." No Rich, they all looked like blue jobs to me. And then she made you eat nettles. I think that's 2-1 to Fran. Good to see you looking well.
Oh No! I've been sussed! Sweet, subtle revenge. 😄
Fran x
I remember your very first vlog before you had the boat it has been a wonderful adventure congratulations on 10,000!!!
Thanks for sticking with us Becky xx
Great video thank for sharing keep safe both 👍
Well done on your 10K you deserve it.
Just found your videos. Absolutely lovely! Stay safe and well.
Hi Christy. Welcome aboard!
That was a great video. I shivered when Rich said I can’t stop touching my face! He should be on the public information commercial. 10k subscribers, that’s fantastic but I think you should have lots more. Hopefully now, RUclips will circulate your videos to a wider audience. I’m glad Fran is enjoying watching Kate at the last homely house. I have her calendar hanging in my kitchen but I would prefer to have yours! You have some fabulous photography in your videos and I’m sure your subscribers would love a floating our boat calendar in 2021. She’s expanded her shop to include other crafts people and maybe you could look to do something similar with canal crafts people. I know you’re limited for space but maybe you could pick up some ideas from her. She did some Christmas boxes and they sold in a flash, and they were £100! Maybe you’re not that interested in that type of venture but I think she’s got a good balance between RUclips and crafty sales. If you needed help with land based logistics I would be happy to help. Great to see Chris helping you out. I also love Chris and She’ll. I hope Rich is getting better and I hope Fran’s shoulder isn’t giving her too much trouble and that you did avoid covid 19. Take care and thanks for sharing.
Hi Sylvia. Thanks for your comment and for being with us right from the early days. Rich is still coughing well, but on the men and miraculously I am still clear. I will look at Kate's shop, to be honest i didn't know she did that and I'm vet interested. We obviously still need an income so I may well be interested in expanding our sales. Thanks for the offer of help. I will certainly bear that in mind.
We really hope you're both well
Fran x
Floating Our Boat Yes, I remember your very first video from your old house! I wonder how boatman Ben is doing these days. If you get time look at Kate’s videos of her Christmas box she really has the ability to hook viewers! Also her patreon levels are interesting. She is obviously a craft based channel when you and Rich are arty and crafty on a NB channel but I’m sure you could get some ideas. I hope your house sale is still on track, what with flooding and pandemics you really have had some challenges. Take care and good luck. 😁x
THANK YOU just keep showing dogs and trees ,water and boat we will be happy
I enjoyed this video. Congratulations on the 60k. Shame about the reason Chris had to stand off. But respect to him going out of his way to help you.
60k!!! Fran and Rich would be over the moon.
Chris is a great guy, we would have been a bit stuck without him. It's a shame it isn't 60000 😂
10,300 already... cool!
Rich you were correct in your response to blackberry leaves. I was checking my plants and decided to try a small leaf. 🤢🤢🤢
Philistine!
Fran x
Fran I thought the taste would never leave my mouth. I actually was hoping it would taste good. But I really prefer the berries and hope I have a bumper crop again this year. Be safe!
Great video guys, congrats on 10,000. Keep the spirits up.
thank YOU. Stay safe.....
C’est merveilleux de vous voir en pleine forme. 👍🏼🌞👍🏼
Merci beaucoup Francois. Nous Somme beaucoup mieux. Xx
Merci beaucoup Francois. Nous somme tres mieux
Well done Fran and Rich. Love to Archie and little Jess 🐕 🐕 👍👍🙏🙏🙏
From the beginning, Why got to be loco. Out, you have to elevate ones stature. Now were is our Cake Fran use gloves. Cheers.
