I would have gladly waited 20mins for the pies!! You're in no hurry.
At the time, Covid restrictions were tight and we couldn't really just stand around waiting
An American here. I adore pub pies. Nothing better! 😋
Australia the same with pies..🦘🇦🇺👍 Same here Fran men and pies at the pub haha.. Fran "it's not weaving is it?" Too funny 😂
thank you for taking us on your little adventure to the little town , more of that please ,interesting architecture etc . i'm a big fan of the stone walls ,stone works of any kind . again thank you !
There is plenty of that to see around here
I find you'd channel very relaxing. You seem such a lovely couple. God bless you both
Thank you Lee, glad you enjoy it
Your vlogs make you feel as close as our next door neighbors. Enjoy your simple recipes but my husband says"where's the meat?" After almost 50 years of marriage, we are still "floating our boat" here in Raleigh NC. Blessings going your way.
Thank you Gloria. You can add bacon to nearly anything I think. That should keep him happy.x
Fran and Rich, Myself and Sarah have spent our lockdown coffee breaks catching up on your every episode of your VLOG's, we have found them entertaining and informative so thanks for that. You are a great couple and have opened up a new way of thinking to us and where our future lies. We have booked a rental boat at the end of September to give it a go and we'll see from there. Sarah has just baked the first bread to your recipe, smells great!
We look forward to the next episode.
Hi Colin. Thank you so much and thank you for watching. Hope he holiday works out well for you and enjoy the bread x
Fran, make your own sourdough starter... in 5 days you’ll have an endless supply of your own Constanza yeast. You’ll never go back to store bought!
I'll look into it, thank you x
I've been following you guys and your adventures for a while, but I've now got my partner Kim watching your weekly VLOG - she's always been resistant to my dreams of narrow boats, camper vans, camping etc, but she likes your perspective on life (particularly Fran's cooking) and maybe, just maybe you're winning her around!! Well done and keep them coming.
Nice one Nick.
Kim resistance is futile 😀
Great video relaxing and entertaining, thank you both and the pups
Hi, lovely video, you past our old boat GENIE , which we lived on for 7yrs. Loved the life, now living in Ballycastle Northern Ireland, have fun painting. 👍
Hi Frank. We are still moored quite close to Genie, so as I pass I will look out for the new owners and have a chat with them about the boat. Thank you for your comment
Fran x
Making the best of lockdown, a inspiration to us all. Ta for vlogging. Best wishes. God bless.🐞🦆🕊😘.
Great to see you guys are doing well..... Keep safe and please keep the vids coming...
Always enjoyable videos here! thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching
Your vlogs are always a great way to unwind!
Thank you
Brilliant vlog guys,thanks 😁👍👏👏👏
You're welcome x
Wonderful wild cooking : ) ....thank you for the ride along!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed
Your vlogs have a bit of everything. Always interesting and often informative. Good stuff.
Thank you
I always love your vlogs! Too bad you didn't get your pies! Fran, time to show us your work at the loom again! Happy to see you and the doggies are doing so well! From Port Angeles, Washington.
Must try that pesto - looks yummy! And all those pies - yum! Great show you two!
Thank you. We'll make pies when you come to visit 😋
Very nice blog, nothing like a good pie....😋
Quite agree
This Canadian vegan loves tomato pie. Absolutely delicious with asparagus, garlic, mushrooms, chopped onion and kale sautéed then add nutritional yeast and put in my home made vegan pie crust with my homemade cashew cream cheese spread on the bottom and sliced tomatoes on top to roast to their hearts content for about an hour in a 375 F degree oven. Oh boy. Nootch is a staple in my kitchen. Try it on popcorn too.
Oh my goodness that sounds wonderful
Don't be eating any Cow Pies heheheheheheheh I love the stone fences over there / nice walk Thanks for sharing
We had a mooring on the Macc in the early 1980s. Your vlog reminded me it's time we went back and maybe treat ourselves to one of those meat pies. At the moment it would be good just to get anywhere. Take care guys!
Another great video.....!!
Thank you
Hi lovely vlog. Such a nice day for a walk. The UK seems to have had a lovely spring so far. I love a pie of any variety. There were a lot of cyclists out The pups certainly looked to be enjoying themselves. Glad you are both doing well. Take care🇨🇦👍😎
Glad you enjoyed it
I love cow parsley! Lots of it around here where I live. It's a wonderful sign of Spring - and it brings back memories from my childhood.
Barney Leith. The common where I take my dog has a huge meadow, with a track that runs the length and is about one quarter of the width of the meadow from the edge. The major part is already waist high over the whole area with Cow Parsley (Queen Ann's Lace was it?) but the minor part has hardly any. Why is that? Also, what you described as 'Garlic Mustard' and called "Jack by the Hedge", was pointed out to me by a friend (just before lockdown) who called it 'Dead Nettles" (I think) because they grow alongside real nettles, but they flower and don't sting. Good vlog guys, as ever. Thank you.
We totally have pot pies (savory meat filled) and quiche (egg pie) here in the states. Pot pies are delicious!
They sound lovely
Lovley, thank you. Regards AJ
You're welcome
Thanks for the pesto recipe, Fran. I have garlic mustard growing in my yard this year, along with wild garlic, so I’m nearly halfway there! The new chimney pipe looks great!
Have a go if you can. The pesto was amazing and so easy.
Wonderful video...I really love hearing about your recipes...very inspirational! It's always nice to see the dog's enjoying themselves...they are just happiness! That's a nice looking chimney. 👍 Thank you for sharing...stay safe...take really good care! 💖
Thank you, we will
‘Not missing pubs’, had me laughing all over again🤣🤣. Wonderful vlog, your walk looked so peaceful. That pesto looks great, I think I’ll try some with rucola salad, that’s what I have at the moment.
Sound lovely. I just had to look up ruccola, we only know it as rcket
Awesome update my friends
Thanks 👍
Hi Fran and Rich, another lovely vlog....definitely going to try the pesto...! You are too polite and patient with those pig ignorant cyclists, hurtling along at that speed....much more polite and patient than I would be...stay safe both...Steve and Sue...🍷🍷
We were filming Steve! 😂😂
Love your little trip to town, about pies we love chicken and beef pies we can buy them at local food store. Keep safe.
Thanks for a lovely sunny vlog, the pesto looked great. Great to see both of you and the doggies are doing well. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Thank you Stevie ❤️
Lovely video once again keep safe
Thank you
Glad you scored some flour!
Thank you both, enjoy watching the dogs run and play, the footpath of tree roots looked a bit tricky!! Love the new chimney, look after that one Rich. xx
It was a tricky path but at least it was away from the bikes.
Glad to see you guys safe and well....enjoyed the vlog....beautiful bird song....think I would have stopped for the pies 🤣🤣🤣😕🥟🥟🥟....Regards Mick
love your videos thanks, going to order a hoody or something soon
Great photography guys
Thank you
Well, it's a pretty chimney 👌😂
Condolences on the loss of your friend. Another very nice vlog, thank you! I live in the edge of the sage steppe in Washington State, and we have a wild flower also called Queen Anne’s Lace. It looks similar to the one by the canal. The one here likes the areas that are sunny, but a bit more on the damp side. It is done before the weather turns hot.
Hi Robin. I think this is the same plant.
Nice video good job
Thank you
Oh boy , that pesto looked very good, I love the way you forage as you go Fran, there are so many weeds etc that you can eat and that are good for you too, I often find something in the garden to add to my salad or my other greens., just love it. regards from Australia.
I thinking is difficult to get healthier food. No chemicals. No plastic. To air miles.
That pesto looks delicious! I just discovered your channel two nights ago and I’m addicted! I watching backwards so I’m going back in time but so informative and interesting! You both have so much knowledge about plants etc! I also love your two little chatty doggies! I now have a passion for Canal life and Longboats but unfortunately I live across the ocean so I’ll have to appreciate from afar. Thanks for creating such great content!
Thank you so much Elle. It is great to know there are prople watching us from all around the world. We are do glad you are joining us on our travels.x
Well done addressing pies.
Great to see u all,(doggies of course to),it’s pretty scenes,going for a walk to the shops as well,dogs certainly had heaps of energy to burn off,.i was looking forward to yr video and got excited to see it appear .😍,it certainly helping in lockdown to see the pretty English countryside and villages.thank u and take care👋
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh wow Jack by the Hedge! I have a lot here in the rented cottage garden, I didn’t know it was edible.....will be adding it to the diet, thank you for the info. We use the yeast flakes, especially the one with added B12. Glad you got your bread flour. I’m still making your bread recipe 🥳👌🏻xx
Good luck with the jack by the hedge. It was the first time we have used it and was amazed at how good it is.
Great video as usual! Fran, I'd love one of your pie recipes. We lived in Yorkshire for a few years. I loved the meat and potato pies but never tried to make them. Take care you two!
I just make it up as I go along. I will experiment with s few new recipes though and share any good discoveries.
I do miss Cornish Pasties here i n Canada,last time I was visiting my sister in Somerset we went to the Eden Project in Cornwall and of course I had a pasty for lunch, before we left I went back and bought 6 more.....I was right for a week or so ,should have bought a dozen.
Your pesto sounds good I like an adventurous cook
Real Cornish pasties...so many happy holiday memories
Another fabulous vlog. Loved every second. Archie and little Jess featured a lot. Loved their duck watching stint. The Middlewood Way..my favourite place to walk. Will be there after this lockdown ends. Love to see you all again. 😀👍🐕🐕
Hi Malcolm, they would be happy spending every minute of every day watching ducks. They never get bored and they hate it when they see us feeding them from the side hatch.
Thanks for that it is after midnight watching you and i am going to eat a second supper now and when i have something the dog has to. You get a paws up from him.
Second suppers are always the best....especially for dogs. X
All that talk of pies got me salivating, I'd love a good meat pie and chips or mash, not too easy to find here in Shanghai unfortunately. It's a lovely little village Bollington, definitely the quintessential English location. Another excellent vlog 👍❤🙂
Bollington is lovely. We are quite happy to be stuck here.
I've been binge watching over the last few days (from episode1 through to the present), and I've thoroughly enjoyed the journey and sharing all your ups and downs. I was particularly unhappy about the experiences you had in my own county of Lancashire (on the Rochdale canal), but that's modern society for you I guess. But I can almost guarantee you'll have a much pleasanter time on the Lancaster canal when you finally do the Ribble Link, which is in my own back yard and an area I know well. And knowing how much you enjoy walking, I recommend walking the route of the now disused section of the Lancaster, from Tewitfield to Kendal. You'll really find that an interesting and scenic walk. May I finish with belated congratulations on your marriage (you are both so well suited and a great couple), and that your recent ailments.are improving with each day that passes. Good luck to you both, and thanks for all you're doing for us land lubber canal enthusiasts!
Thank you for your lovely message David and we'll done for getting through all of our videos. It was only a little hiccup on the Rochdale, nothing to worry about and we also are looking forward to the Lancaster canal.
Hi Fran & Rich glad to see you are coping well you both look great. I enjoy cooking so it's fascinating to see the adaption Fran you have from the English countryside. I'm missing England at the minute it's stinking hot now as we go into summer, I so wanted this year to be my own start to my canal boat life. Thank you for brightening my lockdown curfew day. All the best Mark & Hedgewick
Hi Mark. Such a shame that your plans have been halts. Let's hope it's over soon.
Love the country side. Stay safe be lucky.
Thank you we will
JHS Pedals good music, love when you take us to town, Old stone buildings love them more than new structures, well behaved puppies great vlog
Churchill said: " You can always count on Americans to do the right thing--after they've tried everything else!" they stopped at pies
We love the old buildings too. Hope to show you more after lockdown.
Oooo cheese & onion. Sounds good
Three and half to four miles for pies! Lol 😂 you must be very hungry indeed. Enjoy.
That was the round trip and we did supermarket shopping too so all was not lost x
Good to see you both out in Bolly, lovely place. Thanks for the Pesto recipe... will definitely be trying that.... stay safe xxx❤️🌱💚
Thoroughly recommend it
Yummy - Nutritional Yeast! Great also on popcorn; gives it a great buttery flavor (of course, nothing beats real butter!) or in some soups.
We have only just discovered it and we love it
My condolences for your friend. He's just older than me & since my recent surgery I do think more of my passing. Had to take care of all that b4 I went in. Blessings.
On a more cheerful note, you both always take us on such fun, informative, & delightful journeys. Maybe next time you can call in & place an order with the pie place, so they have it ready for you. I loved all the shots & Fran, as ever, your foraging recipes are fantastic! Thanks so much to you both & woofs to Archie & Jess! Peace, Q
Thank you. We never met Tony but he was an avid watcher and supporter of the channel. Such a shame.
This American has enjoyed many good meat pies As well as great fishNchips, usually in May before or after the British Falconry Fair. Ive traveled 19 times over and love it there, have looked into buying a canal boat however at age 70 is not the time time to move. I do enjoy watching the videos keep em coming please.
Thank you Larry, glad you enjoyed it
We do have meat filled pies in the US; they are called “Pot Pies”. Maybe they are more prevalent in the Southern US... our family loves them also 👍🏻👍🏻 I’ve also added veg and cheese. I agree Fruit is more common as a filling here tho, or custard. Painting process is looking good! Glad you all are well
Everyone has their favourite pie. Can't wait to make some lovely fruit pies in the summer.
Fab video. For the first time I watched it with headphones on. Absolutely brilliant. The sound of the birds, panting dogs and even your footsteps on the towpath. Just lovely to listen to. So many thanks. However adding things like nutritional yeast to food sounds more like a science experiment than cooking to me. But as they say, don't knock it till you've tried it. Keep on keeping on!
I understand what you mean about nutritional yeast. It doesn't sound appetising does it, but it is a natural product and really cheese making is a bit of a science experiment itself. It is good and dairy free so we're happy.
Hi great video again , we must look out for the wild garlic , our boat has now been put in the water 😀just waiting for gas inspector 😃😃
Wow, let's hope lock down ends really soon for you.
I’m glad to see you’re both looking healthy and well.
Beautiful new chimney!
Those tree next to the factory might have given good mid day shade for the painting. For whatever reason it’s apparently better the paint to not paint in direct sunlight. Or at least the paints I’ve painted with like to recommend that 🤷♂️.
I enjoy your vlogs.
Thanks,
Jeremy
Seattle, WA USA
That is true. It's s balance of shading from hot sun. And getting solar power.
I love chicken and veggie pie with mashed potato, mushy peas and gravy on top ❤🥰
Keep safe guys x
We will. I understand you have someone in your family you're worried about. Hope they're ok xx
Really loved the walk to the village. I'm not sure the English realise how pretty their villages are. This was a really enjoyable adventure. Thank you so much.
Thank you Viv, I think many people do take our villages for granted. There are so many unspoilt places along the canals, it's one of the things we love about this life.
The Queen Anne's Lace is commonly called Old Mans Baccy here in Newcastle/Durham where I've lived Fran and Rich 🙂
Really enjoyed this video, thank you both, stay safe xx
It seems to have lots of old folklore names including mother die and dead man's flesh. I think I'll stick to queen Anne's lace as it's such a pretty plant.
Starting now to prep painting my narrowboat. Have the first week in June off to paint the top colours. At last!
Good luck Steve
Nice video guys. Been bingewatching over the past week. I'm Australian living in US and soooooo miss the meat pie, pastie and sausage rolls. Gotta make it yourself if you want one but not always the same as a corner bakery. I enjoy your channel, thanks.
I loved the video. When I was doing my research form my foraged soup last week, I came across the recipe for pesto from garlic mustard. I also made some, with not all the true ingredients. I also did not have pine nuts or parmesan cheese, so I used some almond pieces I had and finely grated some cheddar. I thought it was delicious too. I did not make much, and I spread it on some homemade garlic bread.
That's the best way, to adapt a recipe to what you have. We will definitely make more.
@@FloatingOurBoat I will make it again. I have been amazed at the great tastes some of the "weeds" as we call them have.
You foot must be getting better, you seem to be walking a lot better. Stay well and safe.
Rich is getting slowly better. We want to do some big walks when lockdown ends
Cheese and onion pie sounds delish!
Wow! First viewer, First Like, First comment! That's a first!! Lol! Love you guys from the US! Glad to see you're both doing well and keeping that positive attitude! Good Luck and thanks for the enjoyable videos. ;-)
Thank you...congratulations on being first xxx
Better luck next time with those pies.enjoyed watching your walk along the river.two lovely dogs you have.
Thank you. They can also be very naughty though🙄
Jack by the Hedge. Good way to get arrested if you ask me. 🤣😂🤣😂👼
Naughty!!😂
Made pesto yesterday with Italian Parsley and pistachios. It was great! Have you ever picked Queen Anne's Lace and put the blooms in water with food coloring (maybe use beetroot juice). The blooms will turn a lovely pastel color. Thanks for the great videos. They are keeping me sane during this wretched pandemic.
Hi Marilyn, I'll have to give this a go.
Sorry hear about your friend. Thanks for the video be safe.
Thank you. We never met Tony but he was an avid watcher and supporter of the channel.
Hugs to you for your friend 😘. Funny about the chimney but a new good looking one. I always look forward to your vlog as it feels very normal. Plus you are managing your life your way.
Thank you Brigitte. We never met Tony but he was an avid watcher and supporter of our channel
so sorry to hear of the sad loss of your friend........i could smell the bakery from here yummy...take good care of yourselves....
Thank you, We never met Tony but he was an avid viewer of our channel
I have some of that same plant in my yard. Just this morning I was thinking, " I wonder how I find out what that is?" And here you are with the same plant. Thank you very much from Ohio.
Just make sure it is the same plant then get cooking. It smells and tastes garlicky and a little peppery.
@@FloatingOurBoat I lost my scene of smell years ago. But hubby said it smelled like garlic. I see in Wikipedia that it's an European plant. Must be a different variety.
Love te meal.....Please keep sharing info on the plants that you are using in meals and salads!!!! Enjoyng your videos here in Washington DC
Willbdo
Veggie Pie, wash your mouth out 😂 Steak and Ale for me 💋
Really enjoyed your video and recipe. I knew you could use wild garlic in pesto (and nettles too I've heard) but never thought to try jack by the hedge. Will certainly do so now. You were only a few miles from where I live and I miss walking the canal towpath so much :-(
It's the first time we have ever used wild garlic too. Thoroughly recommend it.mx
great video guys when you reversing you are getting prop walk love it as always
?
@@FloatingOurBoat . Prop walk is the rotation of the prop pulling the boat stern sideways as you back up it will always pull the stern a little in that one direction if your prop was turning the other way going forward it would pull it to the other side in reverse that happens with any single screw boat in reverse it tends to walk sideways ways it can be helpful when backing into a dock once you understand how much it walks but it is easily dealt with but a pain on a long reverse
Ah yes we do. It is quite manageable though as long as we just relax and take it slowly
Very pretty countryside around where you are,love seeing the stone walls and bridges.Sure wish you had bought a good old steak and kidney pie! although the pasta looked pretty good too,be good to see the painting progress in the next vlog take care and safe travels.
It is lovely countryside here. Hopefully we can take you on some walks soon.
I will have to try that pesto recipe. From the look on Rich's face it seems amazing.
It s have a go
I like your pesto, looks good. Mortar and pestle work well for the pesto too. I have a mortar made of olive wood I like to make pesto.
I have been looking out for one for ages. Live anything that doesn't need electricity.
Best non meat pie we've had was a Homity Pie from a pie and mash shop in Skipton. Very Tasty!!
I'm going to have a goo at these.
If you're ever in the Preston area you should try butter pies - potato onion and butter. Yummy!
I'm definitely going to try these
The pesto looks great. I make one with coriander, basil, garlic, olive oil and a pinch of salt. Also very good. Sorry for the loss of your friend. My condolences.
Sounds lovely
I think those doggies "walked" twice as far as you did. Lovely vlog.
They always do, even if we are out all day.
MMmm - that pesto & salad DID look good .. and so too the new chimney eh. .. Shame about the pies but.. Cheers & Thanks for sharing
Thank you Martin
Of course meat pies are wonderful. I made my first corned beef and potato. And then a chicken and mushroom . This Friday I am going to try butter pie. (Potato and onion) I think it was served by Chatholic’s during period of Cromwell. Wish I could find that Mustard and garlic plant in the Seattle area. Thanks for the lovely vlogs.
Butter pie sounds great. I think I may start a pie series.
Oh so refreshing! Not Doom and Gloom!
