It doesn't matter how much time there is between videos, I will always be there waiting for the next one. You two are part of my life as are Minimal List, so carry on at your pace, those who care don't mind waiting. xx

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thank you James

@brodie2711 Год назад

Making videos must always come second to actually enjoying life on the boat. I for one love watching you on your travels but I would hate it if got in the way of living the life you wanted in the first place. So keep them coming but never feel pressured to do so. All the best. Stephen

@dougzirkle5951 Год назад

My very words. Realizing the amount of effort that you all expend on any “normal” given day, but then adding to that what it takes to film & edit for an upload, well, I would feel grateful as a viewer to see one perhaps every month or so. Thanks for considering us, but please stick to your original plan…have fun first!

@lindao1327 Год назад

I agree!

@patdobson4265 Год назад

@chrisc9406 Год назад

Hope you take time out at Gargrave and visit Malham for the day.. Welcome to the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

That is definitely one of our plans

@thelastpilot4582 Год назад

I started watching this and said to my wife I know that voice and when you appeared I was right. Welcome back, good to see you again.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thank you

@pamelazahn4816 Год назад

Thank you ahead of time for any and all videos you do. I enjoy them so very much! No pressure tho. Thanks for allowing us to come along with you!😊

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

You are so welcome! There is another in the pipeline. x

@britz3864 Год назад

What beautiful video of the leaves and water. You both are so very talented. Missed your cooking and kitchen videos. Thank you for each and every one.

@davidrobinson630 Год назад

Brilliant, thank you !...makes us feel homesick......now carry on as normal...☺

@ralphwood5875 Год назад

So glad you guys are back and safe and sound .I certainly missed you but as others have said there is more to life than becoming a slave to filming and editing. The trouble is you make your videos so interesting we crave for more . Glad you had a nice break and did some living like your visit to Snowdonia. So take care be safe and enjoy life. Cheers from Canada where it snowed overnight.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thank you Ralph. We feel well rested and loved our trip to Snowdonia. Now we are hoping for some snow of our own

@Lynette21122431 Год назад

Thanks for being y’all!

@brianmessenger Год назад

It’s good to have you back again. However I totally understand your reasons. After all you don’t want it to turn into work. It would defeat the purpose of your lifestyle. Happy pootling 🛥

@ben8mag 4 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing. That looked dangerous. Gut wrenching.

@janl8683 Год назад

Welcome to my home town of Leeds 🥰. Glad you have finally made it onto the Leeds Liverpool. Happy boating xxx

@downhilltwofour0082 Год назад

It's good to have you back but don't worry when you need a break! I look forward to your videos whenever you feel like posting! You do make lovely videos and your choice of music is sublime!

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thank you so much!!

@theannecrossett7761 Год назад

You're living your life your way Happy you've made it to where you wanted to be. Well done. 😊

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thank you so much

@infour44 Год назад

In addition to lots of other things your sense of peace and contentment transcends the vagaries of tech and RU-vid. Lovely share.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

That's lovely. Thank you

@KarenSFrancis Год назад

Happy to see you again. But we aren't the point, Life the way you want to live it, is the point.

@westaussiejeff1547 Год назад

Life's not always about the cut......it's about life and you have nothng to apologize about. Always enjoy your Vlogs

@jennifermatsushita4321 Год назад

I have missed your videos. So glad you are back

@johnwadlow2617 Год назад

So glad to have you both back. Of course your brief of live the life first and record second means that you remain true to yourselves. I look forward to the next slice of 'Fran & Rich' whenever or how frequent that may be.

@jeanniehyde8090 Год назад

Yaaay 🙌🏽🥂welcome back Fran & Rich,🤗💕good to see you, but NEVER feel you need to explain your precious time away from the cameras, you both look very well 🤗🤗🐾🐾

@martineager9448 Год назад

Welcome back! Great to hear your break was a happy and relaxing one. Those 5-rise locks look fearsome, glad you were there to do them so we don't have to :)

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thanks 👍

@francesdavey1337 Год назад

Thank you both nice to see you back xx

@christopherbutler7588 Год назад

Glad you got the lock gate sorted out. Have a great week. 👍

@jillchew-tetlaw3388 Год назад

Just love your videos. Never ever feel compelled to do them. You must enjoy the life you have chosen. Enjoy my part of the world (I live in West Yorkshire) it has alot to offer.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

We have fallen in love with it already

@hughcarson6837 Год назад

You have been missed. Understand, live your life first, can wait for your vlogs.

@torisharpley2370 Год назад

Glad to see y’all back ! Louisiana USA

@ms.butterworth7160 Год назад

Just beautiful photography, always have and will love your videos

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thank you so much 😀

@christineprice5463 Год назад

Beautiful scenery! I am glad you are back. However, you both should do what is important to you.

@carolinefiler5506 Год назад

Great to see you guys really enjoyed this vlog. We watch your vlogs to follow your journey but if taking a break every now an then is needed then so be it. Enjoy your time together it’s your life and when you vlog we’ll watch take care

@nancyspringston8547 Год назад

Those locks can be a LOT of work. I do not think my husband and I could get through some of them, like these without assistance. It is nice to go along with you guys through your vlogs though. Have a wonderful Christmas break and will look forward to more of your cruising adventures when you can share them with us.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

We are enjoying the stretch without locks now, but lots of tough swing bridges to make up for it

@richardspencer1162 Год назад

Cracking video and I'm glad you got to use the LL canal. BTW the 3 stair case before the 5 rise is Bingley 3 Rise :)

@rickytarbuck Год назад

Well done both for putting yourselves first. Really enjoy your vlogs, but happy to wait a few weeks if you need time out x

@lindagarczynski2415 Год назад

Love these walks , do them often.

@SecretSquirrelFun 10 месяцев назад

Hay, nice to have you back..🙂

@dominicnolan8380 Год назад

Great to see you again, God Bless

@mickiminx Год назад

Welcome back! And also just to say you do what you need to do for yourselves, it must be hard editing etc daily, you need to enjoy your life as you see fit. Take care ❤️

@tinyfoothpaths9518 Год назад

💗🍁🌲Enjoy. Thanks for sharing.

@themetalgardener4960 Год назад

Great overall video per usual but the shots of the falling leaves were just extra amazing! Y'all could do just a few a year and I'd be here watching. Watching videos isn't my life either. Hence catching up here and there when I have some down time.

@marionjohansson4235 Год назад

Welcome back and enjoy yourselves

@sallyu1 Год назад

Great to have you back on RU-vid. Ive sent Fran a message on Messenger. We are moored in Skipton and would like to meet up with you for a drink or meal when you are in the area xxx

@stevecooney1361 Год назад

Wow, thought you both were having a break. Lovely surprised, thank you

@lindagarczynski2415 Год назад

Salt air is fantastic, well worth a visit.

@connieholley1124 Год назад

Santa/Father Christmas should bring Fran some shoes with good grips on the soles. The canal scenery breathtaking, leaves floating down. Take care and enjoy!

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Ha Ha! I do have new boots now 😊

@jocaprichard Год назад

Welcome back and keep 'em coming.

@pilpelet100 Год назад

Good to see you back but no need to apologise for taking a break. We all need one from time to time. Looking forward to seeing more of your travels.

@jamesfoley6555 Год назад

Thank you both for sharing your journey with us, we do appreciate it…🙏✝️🙏

@colinb188 Год назад

Welcome back, was getting worried. Glad you're both good

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

We are fine thank you and well refreshed

@leer798 Год назад

Good to see you guys but life certainly comes before vlogging! We love the L&L ! We were on there for a long weekend in September. Silsden boats . Nice long stretch between the 5 rise and gargrave lock free to enjoy whilst they were closed ! Saltaire is a wonderful place so is skipton :) enjoy :)

@dina6699 Год назад

Glad to see you back and all well…. Great to see you in Leeds too. I’d like to have said hello if I’d known, but looks like you’re well away now… enjoy your cruising life… your viewers certainly enjoy watching you.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

We really enjoyed Leeds. I'm sure we will be back some day

@lisasmith2065 Год назад

You don’t have to explain to anyone. Your both fabulous.enjoy life and vlog when you feel like it ❤️

@traceyballard1678 Год назад

Can't wait to watch later x

@AfterTheRains Год назад

The autumnal scenes 🍁 were beautiful and it was so nice to see the old buildings being cared for and still in use in Saltaire. Well done all you lock keepers. 👍🏼

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Saltaire was an amazing place. Would love to go back if it wasn't the other side of Bingley locks!

@LawrenceBroussard Год назад

It is so beautiful on the cut!

@lovelyskull3483 Год назад

It’s a joy to see your videos but life must come first. Thank you and cheers.

@sallya5158 Год назад

Hi, did wonder where you were, the autumn views must be beyond beautiful along the canals, glad you are still enjoying life aboard must of been a swelter in the heatwave, glad you are enjoying life, looking forward to the northern adventures, best wishes.xx

@janeabbotts Год назад

Beautiful autumn footage with a superb choice of music to accompany it. Really enjoyable vlog, but that bit was simply stunning and so relaxing. Thank you.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it Jane

@Lex-Hawthorn Год назад

Good for you!! Take time to yourselves for yourself. I follow a man in NZ and binged watched all his posts for months, seen his outdoors business ventures & family grow over 8 years. Then they got separated, his business and subsequent vlogs, took him away from home just once too often. His attitude has changed now quite considerably, and he still helps out his ex wife, and hopefully they can get back together, but as Rich says, it is what it is. Thankfully it hasn't affected their children too much, as far as can be seen. SO GOOD ON YOU. TAKE TIME FOR YOU. We can wait, no problem here, i will be notified when you post a vlog. Bon Voyage, take care, stay safe. 3 to go and I'm caught up to you. 168/171 🤗🤔🧐

@rawnclark1115 Год назад

Great to have you back! I was going through withdrawl! LOL

@arjenhillenius1917 Год назад

Glad you enjoy life. Thanks for sharing a part of it. Could you show a bit of all the things you make, or should I look somewhere else for it. I love it you have plants onboard; in het boat. Have fun! 👋

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thank you very much. We will hopefully be showing a little bit more of our crafts over the winter

@ksparrot Год назад

Happy to see you back. Sometimes a break is needed and well deserved to get the creative juices flowing again. Take care.

@juliegere9415 Год назад

Hello, we've missed you.

@bagobonecollective799 Год назад

love you guys so much xxx

@danhollifield Год назад

Lovely to see you again! Y'all take all the time you need to enjoy yourselves. We subscribers will be content to wait until the time is right for you to vlog again. After all, it's your life, your adventure, your schedule--and we wouldn't want it any other way.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thank you

@kaths3990 Год назад

Bingley Five Rise: we never went through them on our various holidays but I have visited just to stare for a long time at their magnificence. So this was wonderful for me. Thanks! 😀💜

@suzannehague5203 Год назад

So lovely. To see you both I have been. on the Leeds Liverpool canal luvely but hard going good luck and all the.best to you both

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thanks so much

@tonygillett6428 Год назад

So good to have you back. But Doing stuff you enjoy in life must always come before videos. Hoppe you enjoy the Leeds and Liverpool it's a lovely part of the contrary.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

We are loving it

@Heavywall70 Год назад

I wish narrowboats were a thing in the States. I guess the vast majority of our canals are replaced by highways and the ones that remain are high traffic shipping channels.

@annemurkin8392 Год назад

You were def missed! Glad to see you back all refreshed. Looking forward to the next one take care❤

@tubularap Год назад

Good for you to have stopped filming for a while. Good of you to recognise that you needed a break from seeing the world through a camera. Still, selfishly, I am glad to see you two again :-) [edited for typo]

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thank you

@MissingLink-hb9ov Год назад

brilliant as always..

@garry9999 Год назад

Nice to see ya, to see ya nice...Now I feel complete. Without seeing your vlogs I feel something is missing as its been a good few years I have been watching your journeys and adventures. I understand what you are saying regarding taking vlogs your lives are more important but I must say you started it so in reflection someone like myself is with you all the way. xx

@tburnsmatheny Год назад

Missed you, I follow you,plus a few others,on a map I have of the canals. I’m in USA and retired and would have loved to do what you do. NO canals here.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Love it that you have a canal map. That is true dedication x

@sarahstrong7174 Год назад

Thankyou for sharing.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

You're welcome

@dragnfli520 Год назад

Glad CRT got you all sorted! Beautiful scenery and music 🎶! Thx

@philipwinter8729 Год назад

Thanks for sharing. Lovely to see my part of the world again. A very long time since I boated down there and you showed how it has become hard work in recent years.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

I think maybe it is harder as the locks have n=been out of use for quite some time.

@ronnielloyd4676 Год назад

Quality is always more important than quantity. Just keep posting when you feel like posting. Gates in staircase locks always look SO huge! Take care you two!

@philliphammond399 Год назад

Hi Fran and Rich, extremely nice to see you back. It pays to take a break every once in a while but, missed you very much😊.

@shardlake Год назад

Making videos for us hungry viewers must be an added pressure, however you must do what's good for you. Love the videos, grateful that you share your adventures with us, but, you come first.

@traceyballard1678 Год назад

Yes agree with everyone's comments, enjoy life on your travels first. You videos are worth waiting for, when ever they come. It's great to see so many enjoy them too.

@pameladwyer2244 Год назад

Glad to hear and see you, both, Fran and Rich! It’s necessary to take breaks from making vlogs, so happy that you can walk away for awhile, then come back. Life is a series of changes, isn’t it? All the best to you both!

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

We always feel more energetic and enthusiastic when we have had a little break

@ladyhawke1357 Год назад

I've been out of the loop myself for quite a while but so happy to be catching up again, especially starting in my old stomping ground. I was born in Leeds and this stretch of canal holds a special place in my heart. Did you visit Kirkstall Abbey and/or the Abbey Museum. They are well worth a visit, as is the Royal Armouries Museum, and definitely worth a return journey even if it means going back down Bingley Five Rise! Hope you enjoy every bit of your time in Yorkshire.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

There is so much to see here we may be going up and down for some time

@sheiladrury3144 Год назад

At the end of the day Fran and Rich you have to do what you deem fit to live the best life you can 😊

@leslielutz6140 Год назад

How absolutely beautiful. You are always missed. Thank YOU for making videos.

@ynys_mon6928 Год назад

Great to see you back after a well-deserved break.

@stevehoare6378 Год назад

Morning Fran and Rich, it’s Sue and Steve (we had the great pleasure of an evening with you and Mark when we were all on the Ashby canal in 2018, when we had our boat Juniper). So sorry that weve not kept in touch in the comments, but we’ve followed your “journey!!” closely, and remain deeply envious that you’ve been able to continue narrowboat life and are clearly thriving on the beautiful lifestyle that Laura Maisie affords you both. So pleased to see you both back, and in such good spirits. Spare a thought for us “land lubbers”....still dreaming of being back on the canals one day when family commitments are over....who knows, we may even meet up for another meal one day. Take care, look after each other and keep making your videos...cheers Sue and Steve...🍷🍷

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thanks Steve and Sue. Of course we remember you and it's good to hear from you. Stay in touch and let us know if you make it back to the water

@stevehoare6378 Год назад

One day soon I hope...🍷🍷

@grahamlewis6062 Год назад

👏🌟👍. Lovely video, thanks for sharing, and keep on enjoying yourselves! Sharing vlogs with us is really a bonus for us! You just get on with your lives and share whatever and whenever, we DONT have priority in your life ! 👏🌟👍. Joan

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thanks so much! 😊

@petemoring67 Год назад

Those locks looked Terrifying!! ...... AARRGGHH!!!!!!! ...... Welcome back though ..... looks like you nearly didn't at one point ..... WELL SCARY!!

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

It was scary at the time. You can feel so out of control when locks go wrong

@Deb_Downes Год назад

I was wondering where you were (video wise), I’m glad the reason wasn’t due to some unpleasant event. Looking forward to see your vlogs for this canal country, cheers :)

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

No problems at all, all refreshed now

@anthonymccabe7800 Год назад

Well done, that's the whole point of travelling on the boat, to enjoy your lives, videos come second or even lower. Saltaire fascinates me, I'll never get there now so seeing others exploring and giving their version and experiences is wonderful. Keep on enjoying everything, even if it buckets down, you've a cosy, warm boat to snuggle under the duvet and just let things go their way. Take care.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thank you. I could spend a lot of time wandering around Saltaire. Such an interesting place. But today it is cold with heavy rain and hail so we are happy to do the snuggling down thing !!

@sheilajoseph9953 Год назад

Glad to see you again, wondered what you were doing, live in the moment and don't feel you have to vlog all the time, I'd be happy watching monthly, your life is for you to enjoy and I appreciate you sharing your journey 💚

@michaelhibbert4393 Год назад

Still love your vlogs guys…..some lovely Autumn shots….hope your both keeping well and Frans got over the fall…it was lovely to Meet you on the Chesterfield I just wish it could have been fully open for you to travel up-to the head. Always important that you enjoy yourselves and love your life to the full xxx

@appeltaart47 Год назад

You are so right. Video making must not be the most important thing to do. Enjoying life together is far more important.. Enjoyed seeing you and the dogs again.

@kevinbullas2328 Год назад

You two are IMHO ‘real people’ and thanks for communicating so effectively…you don’t need to do better at all explaining and revisiting your core values makes thing really clear…thanks for being you👍🏻😁

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Wow, thank you!
