Hiya troops, apparently years ago before engines people used to lay on the roof and walk boats through the tunnel like upside down walking lol. Very funny ridding the waters of riffraff. also Amy, I will let you into one of my free strawberry farming secrets, and that is to save the plastic glasses that they give you at events and pubs and use them as mini greenhouse lids. You can attach them using saved lolly sticks and elastic band and plug them into the pot to protect plants from bugs and drought. Water evaporates and drips back into pot. You can have a half pint greenhouse if you wish lol. Good luck with new job mission Wez. Cruise with a bruise and style savvy. Capt. Dave ;) x
Yep! It’s true! It must’ve been hard work doing tunnels like that! That’s a great idea for strawberries we will have to remember that one! Thanks for the kind words again! Xx
Little tip to save money on filling a hire car. Turn on the ignition and keep an eye on the gauge , it will often show full while you can still get another 10 to 15 quid in the tank.
Was great to see you both having a great time away.....loved Rufus in his little bed lol...ops about the milk,,,😉....love your vlogs ..you make me laugh.......happy days stay safe and Happy guys xxxxxxxxx
I love your little garden... it lovely... I did notice that your curly parsley is in a strawberry planter. the little openings in the side of the sweet white planter is so that the runners of the strawberries can pop out the sides. if you try them in there next time and put a terra cotta pot on top for the first few weeks to get the started I think you will have strawberry success~ ! 🍓🍓🍓
Hi Amy and Wes. Bet it was brilliant to go to the concert. You had a lot to sort out in order to get there! So funny to see Rufus in that little bed. The bus trip was eventful(Bus Time 😂). Great that you got chance to cruise along. Have a great week. Take care. Nick
Hello from usa, gotta tell u, I love Rufus! Dupes is adorable as well. Bad part, when u eat chips, we don't call them that, u make me so jealous! I worked McDonald's for six years, lots of locations! I can't resist the fries, I crave them, but alas no car! Last thing it's so funny, I told a friend I was knackered, she was so odd about it, she knew nothing, all u narrow boaters & mudlarkers have me talking funny to my friends here in RI, USA, smallest state in the country. Tata Tina Lopez aka T.lo😊
Awesome vlogs guys, glad you cover all aspects of narrowboat life ,we shot a few bits for a gig the other week too, Iv always thought its important for people to fully experience the life style, plus more footage, win win haha can't wait to bump into you on the cut....if we ever get there, safe journeys keep up the awesome work :)
Thank you both!! 🥰 boat life is so full of twists and turns so we’re glad it comes across! Can’t turn down extra footage 😅 We would absolutely love to bump into you on the cut! 🥰 x
Such a pleasant interlude in my difficult day. Thank you. The new plants are not technically cactus, they're succulents. Don't need loads of water but like the damper climate there. We have lots of them here in Washington state. You guys are becoming great pro boaters, going through a two way tunnel with no problem and no worries! Excellent. So happy for you having such a great VA capped off with that concert and new shades for the cratch. Good luck with the new job, Wes. Stay safe and well.
Oh we hope you’re doing okay! ❤️ Ah that’s good to know about the succulents thanks! We’re slowly learning, still so much more to learn! We love the new cratch! Thank you for watching; stay safe too! 🥰
Lovely vlog again. You bring a smile to everyone. Just a quick question about going through tunnels… when we used to sail in the 1970’s, we used to put all our internal lights on in the boat as well as the light outside. Is that still something that boaters do?
Guys the vlogs are getting better and better every week - love the editing, you're so funny! Not surprised you needed a nap Ami after all that, Billie looked amazing, that girl is a ball of energy! Those cameras have been so good for you being able to leave the boat with peace of mind. See you next week!!
Hi Amy, Wes, You make such wonderful happy Videos/Vlogs. I smiled all the way thru this weeks adventures. You packed so much in. Amy, your Cacti looked sweet, I suppose as much as cacti can. I don't know where the both of you get your energy from. The concert looked amazing, great theatrical lighting. Loved that you had your chips twice this week. Your "Renault Something" car looked really nice. Good to see Rufus charging up and down on his long lead. And then to see Rupey getting nice cuddles from his Mummy. I bet he is overjoyed at having a bit more privacy. Such a fab episode. So well crafted, produced and edited. The four of you are a lovely family. Have a great week. Take Care.
Thank you so much as always! ❤️ I think most of the time we’re running on fumes and chips 😂 Rupey seems much happier with his new blinds 🥳 thank you for the kind words it means a lot!! Take care too! 🥰
They look like hen and chicks to me. They grow almost everywhere and propagate every where. My wife set out three and they multiplied to hundreds over several years.
Bless you guys, so happy you’ve had such a great time at Crick and popping to see Billie Elish up here in sunny MCR 😂🤗 I hope you both slept and took some time out to rest and unwind 🤗
Yes both events were so good! 🥰 it’s been a while since we visited Manchester so it was good to be back even if it was just briefly! We’ve managed to catch up a bit on sleep at last 😂 thank you for watching 🥰❤️
What a busy time handled really well by you two. This Vlog I think gives insight to you both and quite honestly you are soooo nice. Please be careful during the heatwave.
Hi guys been watching your vlogs and luv them, can i ask something i kinda noticed that there isnt much room on your desk have you guys considered wall mounting your monitor and light ring and putting a floating shelf under it for bits and bobs what will give you more desk useable area .
Thanks for watching! 😊 We have thought about it, and still considering it! The walls are slanted so not sure if it would make the monitor an awkward angle and/or put too much pressure on the walls as they are only thin plywood! Would love to though at some point maybe
Thanks for another enjoyable vlog. Looks like you had a great time at the concert. Definitely one that you won't forget. We used to watch ice hockey in that arena.
Enjoyed the trip on the Magic Bus ,l hav’nt been on one for ages .Well done Wes for being so up beat even though you looked dead beat and back at Foxton ! Cratch cover looks real nice 👍 cheers both .
And breath..... 🥵 OMG GUYS! I was worn out just watching this one😩. Glad you enjoyed Billie anyway and love new cratch covers, gives you more security too.As always, stay safe and happy sailing the 4 of you.xx that gifty barge ...lol😁❤❤😃xx
It's going to get hot, think about a solar powered air conditioner for the future. I'm worried for your animals. Great vlog. Thank you, try to enjoy your week!
Wow, the gig looked amazing! I was working on the Glastonbury production team and we watched her live feed but I didn't get to see her live. Would love to! I'm also a haphazard gardener too so I'm glad to see you approach the art of gardening in the same way! 😁
Ah no way!! She was really incredible live, but that’s so cool you worked at Glastonbury! 😊 Haha yep we aren’t one to faff around with the ‘correct way’ of doing gardening things 😂😂
We were quoted £923 for a week’s standard car hire with Enterprise a few months ago. I rang up just to enquire about hiring as we want to sell the car when we get settled on our boat. I had to ask the guy to repeat himself. I then rang another well known company and they quoted £876. Two years ago I had a car accident and 4 weeks hire was £500. How can they justify the increase!!
Oh wow that’s almost double! It’s crazy how expensive some of them are. I think the short term hires are cheaper, but long term contracts are expensive 😬
What a busy time you had after Crick. Can’t believe you paid £30 in taxi for what was £5 on a bus. I’d have been furious…..but I’m a tight Yorkshire man. Lol. No wonder you needed a nap. Great full on vlog as usual. Loving the updated cratch cover, Dupes will be safer now too. Love as always. ❤️
