Want to live on a narrowboat? Learn more about composting toilets? Wondering if your pet would like boat life? Enjoy the British Countryside? You are in the right place!
We are Annamarie and Kath - we live and work on board our 57ft narrowboat full time (and have done since 2016). We share lots of cat videos, our life afloat, plus tips and tricks for surviving life off grid. We continually cruise the UK canal network and work from the boat, which enables us to share regular cruising trips along with trips Through The Hedge to explore the towns and villages we visit.
Before you consider life afloat, check out our journey from land to narrowboat, plus essential tips for living on a narrowboat. We love life on the canal and hope that our joy and optimism is obvious in our videos. Even when we break down, we try to do it with a smile!
Loved watching this vlog again. We have planned to follow the same route to Tewksbury. Nice to see the mooring spots and also how the locks work on the Avon. Miss you guys lots ❤🧸🧸
I am moving onto a narrowboat in a month or so as a constant cruiser. I am very nervous about letting my cats out. Can anyone advise or tell of their experiences please?
Hey, my partner and I are wanting to move onto a narrowboat with our dogs but are wondering about leaving them to go to work and safety (dog theft, over heating, being too cold) would be really interested to talk further on this as I can't find anything online about it!
I just watched David's interview featuring pets aboard and was delighted to see you both once again. It made me realise how much I miss your regular videos. Best wishes from Chiang Mai.
I've really felt encouraged to grab this wonderful life even more enthusiastic, after having followed your journey in the very charming narrowboat. Getting to know you through your tellings and doing has been absolutely wonderful! From all of my heat - best wishes for your future lives! 🎉❤😀🌈🎉🇩🇰😍🥰
I hope you are both doing well. I still watch your old videos regularly. I do enjoy them. Thank you for sharing your travels on Lazy Days with us. I use your coffee cup every day and often think about you both. I have my pin badges too, and just wanted to say you made a difference for me and many of us who watched you. In fact, I know you did. I hope you know that and keep that in your hearts now. Your watercolors are beautiful, Anna, and to Kath I would like to say how much I admire your steady and gentle demeanor. In all situations on the canals, you are so competent, and I admired that about you. I hope all your dreams come true, and that a narrowboat in the future won't be left out of your lives. Lives change, I know, but memories don't. I just wanted to write and say I miss seeing you both on RU-vid.
Well done ladies- I’ve watched many other videos re installing solar panels, particularly on a sloping roof! Yours is clear filming and the commentary showed me for the first time that you used adjustable feet to compensate for the sloping roof which was brilliant for me. Thank you. Your commentary is slow, considered clear and very useful. Well done and thank you
I have just found you guys and I am just starting the process from the US! I see that you are no longer boating, but I will be watching your channel from the beginning! Good luck in what you are doing now.
This is really sad, brought so much joy to me and trying to convince my parents to have a holiday on one because of the fun you 2 have had with it. Stay safe whatever you do and you will be missed by me at least. Thanks for the wise words, suppose this is farewell. Thanks ladies ❤
Hi Kath and Anna, have only just started viewing on the phone,previously via the blurayrecorder and not logged in . The little doors are the boards used to close the lock,I think.
Hi ladies, gadday to you, we're still enjoying your videos but if we have only one criticism it would be that we wish you made your videos a little longer. Question! How do you care for your car as we noticed that you still have your motor? Marion & Glenn X
Kath, you must allow AnnaMarie to buy another book because 12 years is far too long, it must be updated 😉 Also did you get yourself a filter, it would be good to see you do an engine service 😉👍 What did both you ladies do for work before you went into narrowboating? Why did you move your bed with the slow close storage drawers to its position you have it now cos we thought it looked great as you had it before. It must be a nightmare to change the bedclothes now lol also climbing over the bed to escape should the need arise! Marion and Glenn xXx
Hi ladies, we've just started watching your narrowboat experience series. You don't say so far what you paid for your narrowboat, just that you bought it second hand. You're both so funny, we enjoy watching you both so much, keep up the good work 👍 Marion and Glenn xxx
always sad to say goodbye... take care and thanks for you vlog it made life good.. life is too short, omg im 70 now. live your life its goes so quickly.... bye better go i tearing up hehehe bye
Have just seen your farewell video. Thank you so much for sharing your narrowboat experiences with us. I have thoroughly enjoyed the ride with you. And I have your T-shirts, cup and pin to cherish. Love and best wishes for the future to you both💚.
Crazy how I’m just seeing this. I watched your channel 2 years ago and I just came looking for it again. I’m from America and it interested me to see your canals and the narrowboats, before finding your channel I had never seen this type of boat or way of traversal. I enjoyed learning about the life and the way the locks operate using water. I haven’t watched for a couple of years but I just remembered you guys a little bit ago and came looking again. It’s sad to see you go
Thank you for 5 years of vlogging and sharing your life and adventures! I do follow you on Instagram but it was good to see you say goodbye here. Will miss seeing you both and your lovely kitties on this medium, well after I finish catching up on your older videos (I started watching you during the beginning of the pandemic and at one point went back to the beginning and started forward from there so I have a little bit of that catch up left). I have been getting back into painting and will be finally checking out your painting channel more. Best wishes!!!
Just came across your video. Sorry to hear you have called it a day. I enjoyed watching them and have enjoyed the journey with you both. I was hoping you would come back for another year or two, as most of my narrowboat vloggers have gone. Are you now land lovers again? So thank you for the journey and wish you both every success in the future, what ever you decide to do. Best wishes for the future. 😿👍👯♀️
Well I seemed to be to late to the party , as I have only just found all your video's , we are wanting to buy a boat to live on and have a thousand questions ☹️ I wish you good health and happiness in all you do in the future .😃
