Every week, I move my home to somewhere new and I work in my floating home too. This lifestyle could be very isolating, so do I find it like that? In this vlog, I show how I manage this nomadic way of living. Sit back, relax and enjoy. Take care 🦋🌻

Good evening Vanessa it’s only me again - I hope you’ve had a good week and that you’ve been keeping well - I have the hospice team coming in next Thursday to talk about medication. As at the moment. Nothing seems to be working anyway. I’m trying to stay positive as I can be- but as usual my Friday nights are the highlight of the week as I look forward to your Vlog/video - I hope you have a lovely weekend - sending loads of love and loads of hugs as always ~ Xxx Xxx

Oh my dear, I hope they can work out a medication regimen that works for you. I’m in the USA so not sure if our hospice works differently than yours but as a nurse I know that you have to demand what you need ! Pain is best relieved by alternating 2-3 different medications so you are taking something every 2 hours, otherwise you get behind and it takes time for medication to start working, you should always have overlapping doses on board. And also remember, and your healthcare team should know this too, that while taking these doses you will have to steadily increase dosing because you will acquire a tolerance! God be with you and hugs from a caring nurse ❤

Whenever I feel the need to isolate from the daily grind of the news cycles. I can open my copy of the “The Nature Journal of a Narrowboater” (In between videos) and slip away from the “Weirdness” that is our current world. Relating to the natural world around me opens a door to an inner peace that is grounding. Thank you for another great video.

When you were spelling out the "B A L L", I noticed that Zephyr cocked her head to one side, as it to say: "I know what you're trying not to say." I found that moment quite amusing. Thank goodness you both got into the narrowboat before that thunderstorm eventually broke - that rain really did hammer it down. Also, thank you for revisiting that small garden, a beautiful place to sit and relax, and just be with nature. I really love to wait for the end of the video to see the sketch of what you have seen in the past week along your journey - Thank you! 🙂

My wife and I used to use the phonetic alphabet in the car when profanity was appropriate, the upshot was our four year old learnt the phonetic alphabet :D Fortunately it didn't appear to hamper his development of vocabulary. He's a bit of a freak though, he learnt to say Mohorovicic Discontinuity at three when I was teaching him about the Earth, "because it sounded funny".

@markd3250 2 месяца назад

I suppose people who live in cities might think you're isolated, but I think it's just the opposite. You get to experience the rich and varied beauty of nature, and they don't. The city folk I think are the ones isolated. You get to meet and greet people often enough, and yet still have the peace of solitude as you journey along. It's like taking a vacation, but you get to take your home along with you, which is like the best of both worlds for someone who's an adventurer. I like how you take the time to tell the story of, or at least describe the various buildings and locations as you see them. It's like a living journal in motion. Another beautiful video!

@Circa65-wk8th Месяц назад

This life appeals to me so much. I'm an introvert, an artist, I care about wildlife, I love boats and water and I adore dogs. I know it won't appeal to everyone but to me it looks like stepping into a magical parallel universe. I know it's not as easy as it looks, life never is, but the effort looks worth it to me. The only thing that stops me doing it is that I tend to get homesick quite quickly. I don't know whether you eventually get past that stage or whether it gets worse.

@themindfulnarrowboat Месяц назад

Feeling homesick does get better because your boat becomes your home and you can always moor up somewhere and get a train to visit loved ones. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super week. Take care🦋🌻

We don't have stained glass in Canada, not like you guys do! Having seen the Mayfly Spinner and that beautiful Scorpion Fly I can now understand what inspired Norman artists to break big expanses of glass in to small bits and then reconstruct them into beautiful Works of Art. I find the water-colourists of England to be at complete odds with the Norman and Cathedral glass artists, in that the water-colourists actually HOPE that the colours will run together and create that wonderful hue in the crested-tit's wing tip.

Another heartwarming glimpse into your world with Zeph Vanessa… I love how you always think of her when buying anything, she is so intelligent yet still has the puppy excitement inside when it comes to her ball… I wish I had your knowledge of plant life and wildlife… I hope the diesel issue is only temporary 😊

That is so kind of you. Zephyr is such a wonderful companion that I just have to spoil her sometimes. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻

Great vlog as per usual that lock number five was really interesting how it changed through the season, I've only been through Bosley once in 1998 with a Dawncraft we left our fenders down and got stuck in the lock ( we thought about anti fouling it while it was there.lol) , Glad Zepher got her ball her face was a picture, The biscuit challenge " Treacle Tart " my wife went for two and claimed the victory, love all the bird photos as usual but I'm trumping you this week as we are going to see the Eagles at the Co op venue in manchester tomorrow night, Have a great week and stay safe. 😀

Oh no you got wedged in the lock! 🙈 That happened to me on the Stratford Canal a few years ago. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Congratulations to your wife too! Take care🌻🦋

Hello again! One thing I don't recall mentioning to you before, is how much I appreciate the way you match up the music you use with the scenery. Particularly liked the dramatic music right before you said "That very dramatic sky!" Loved the local lore you shared, about the "Treacle Market". At one point you had a real convoy of narrowboats. I don't think I've ever seen so many in motion at one time before. All in all, another excellent episode. Thanks again, and best wishes! As always!

I’m so pleased that you enjoy the music. It is always really exciting trying to find the right piece to match the mood. Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Chris. Take care🌻🦋

Oh zephyr you are just as ball obsessed as my black lab Chocky was (he’s in heaven now) but you remind me of my white lab Billy who I miss so dearly (died last Sept of bone cancer in back leg) I just love watching your adventures with zephyr. Thanks Vanessa. X from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺

So glad you gave Zephyr her ball, at least to carry, and we saw how you tucked it away while she enjoyed her swizzle stick...I love your poems and drawings of nature, hope you publish your beautiful book, so similar to the Edwardian Country Diary. Beautiful Vlog!

Such a wonderful video. I always find the locks so interesting. I would rather enjoy that part. Boy Zeph didn’t want to leave the ball. I’m glad she’s happy with it. You made her week! I’m glad you don’t feel isolated. You really do connect with nature and you allow us to connect with it but the amazing shots you get. I love your music choices too. I so wish I could enjoy narrowboating with you. Seems like such an amazing experience.

I’m so glad that you answered that Vanessa because I’ve been watching you for a while and I’ve commented before but I keep thinking there’s someone else there because of taking the videos often when you’re at the Luz I’m glad that you’re still with your husband and it sounds like he has a very well. He does have a very important job. Take care and keep doing your beautiful, beautiful videos.

Funny thing is last week we were talking about boat names and now you find one called Zephyr. Speaking of which I find the conversations you have with Zeph fascinating it’s almost like she understands exactly what you are saying the way she came back to the boat to get her ball. Once again thanks for making my Fridays so enjoyable Have a great week see you next Friday Steve

A great little refresher video - New viewers will love it too .... Our local woods - Sulham Woods - Always smelt 'richly' of Mushrooms and You'd see them everywhere - Sadly it's been visited too many times by the 'harvester gangs' - The smell has now gone, and you rarely see any - I hate to think what it's done to the woodland infrastructure .... They really don't THINK! Do they ??

@themindfulnarrowboat Месяц назад

It is a shame that they have all gone as this couple showed that you can set up and grow your own mushrooms without over foraging the woods. Luckily, though the mycelium network should still be thriving under the earth, so hopefully, the mushrooms will return to your wood.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Take care 🌻🦋

Hi Vanessa, What an amazing market, those mushrooms look gorgeous and so reasonably priced, I had no idea there were so many different varieties in England. It was buzzing there, it was a real treat to see such a vibrant market, so many are in decline and shutting down. I could see your little owl, I used to see them regularly when I lived in a cottage in the country. Your plants are thriving it must be all the rain! I’ve seen a few lapwings this year, they seem to be making a bit of a come back, they used to be a common feature in the fields but not so much now. I hope your engine is going to be ok.🤞🏻Fabulous art as usual, good job you managed to avoid getting wet in the downpour. Take care all of you. xxxx

@themindfulnarrowboat 2 месяца назад

Hi Shirley, it must have been wonderful to regularly spot little owl. I wish that I had focused in quicker as it looked so beautiful in the evening light. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
