You never know what is around the corner and what opportunities that may present. My life living on a narrowboat has been rewarding but hard too. To suggest this life is always great fun....well you probably need to be young and have an instagram lifestyle. You have to make your own way in life and maximise the opportunities life offers. I'm doing just that.

Life's rich tapestry of opportunity. A change is as good as a rest. Pastures new. Take your pick, just hope you find some inner happiness and stillness. Stay safe Chris xx

Thanks Elaine. Hope you’re both well and looking forward to the warmer weather. 35 out here and rising. I’ll bell you when I get back

The main reason why I've been watching this channel from when you first began is, its not about the boat its not about the narrowboat cruising and that is nice when it happens. Its about following a person's journey. Discovering their thoughts and passions and learning about their life. The story continues. Although somewhat on another tack. But it's still the same person doing their do's. For me, this is getting better as it goes along. Wishing you all the bet in your new adventure and you can bet I'm hanging on to see where this goes. Cheers mate

So glad to hear that Max is doing better, time with family is not something you can put off until later, and we spend much of our life trying to do so. I retired in January, and literally on my way out the door got an email asking me to do a consulting project, the fee for a couple of weeks work will pay for a month of travel, I couldn't say no. Take those opportunities when you can.

@chrismears-inslowtime 5 месяцев назад

Agreed David. If I get a more permanent position it will make so much easier in the longer term. Sacrifice today for a better tomorrow

@highwaymanish 5 месяцев назад

Chris, Sheree and I met you at Cosgrove last year and you pointed me to new fenders and lines etc. I am now a solo boater and just want to say " tomorrow is not guaranteed, do what you have to do as this opportunity may not come around again" All the best. Nigel

Dear Chris Age has taught me that life is like a book. You start by opening the book. After that, one never knows where the story will go, but you keep reading. Finally you get to the end, close the book up and place it back on the shelf for another. Everything you have said in this vlog is so true. Thank you again for sharing your words of wisdom. and thank you for sharing another part of your life. All the very best in the next chapter of YOUR life. I will be here waiting for you to return.

Sir you look after yourself and I am glad things are already slotting into place in M.E.speak soon. Could have done with your young muscles to help me with changing my batteries. Oh well.

@jongibbs1036 5 месяцев назад

Very much from the heart Chris ❤ life is what you make it, never miss out on an opportunity, you will always regret the paths you never took, life follows a path for a reason, yours has been a towpath for a while. Good luck in your new venture - as you say maximizing what you have, you never know where life will take you or which will be day will be your last so make what you have count. Marina life will be a new experience for sure

@chrismears-inslowtime 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Jon. Appreciate the wise words. Marina life has its benefits that I may have to get used to. Do like the canal life though.

That is the plan but I don’t want to get it wrong with the cultural differences. A bloke filming where I could inadvertently do it wrong has consequences, although I have started getting a few clips.

@mags9981 5 месяцев назад

@petermastenbroek7719 5 месяцев назад

Hi Chris, your vlogs are really informative and quite entertaining too, and you really seem to be making the best of it. I don't remember how long it took me to get used to living and working barges, I think that is was at the most 2 weeks instead of 2 years, I started aged 22 and now at 75 I am still living on a boat, although not a commercial barge anymore, and can't see that changing in a hurry, I don't feel comfortable in a house, even whan staying with lovely family for a week, and I am always happy to be back on board again. About losing stuff on the boat, I lost myself, searched everywhere, and I found myself again stupidly (as usual) staring at me in the mirror, quite a shocking experience to say the least. I do wish you all the very best in and with your new ventures, and I will follow you in your vlogs. All the very best and lots of success.

@chrismears-inslowtime 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Peter. Experience talking which I always value. I’m getting used to it. I’ve always been able to do it. It’s not hard as such, but harder than house life. If I was with someone, I would get around to saying it’s a great life.

@1Polglen 5 месяцев назад

All the best. And hope to continue enjoying your point of view on life and your videos. (No canals in NZ) Just put my fire on for the first time since last year, winter is coming to NZ. Houses (average a million apparently or close too) and rents ( 2 bed, if lucky includes a lounge about $700+ a week) are stupidly expensive. Everything is. People are doing it hard. And a national party is in. Busy stripping away the help for those who need it. And slashing jobs left, right and center. But still they get a salary increase! Kia kaha Kia ora. Cheers

One last thing if I may, in the last three or so vlogs your mental health seems to have improved a lot, that's great. Looks like you are living life to the max 🤩

I’m always losing things. I wear 4 different pairs of glasses because I can’t get on with varifocals. The chances of finding all 4 pairs on one day are minimal. When you leave your keys in the fridge they feel nice and cool. My mobile phone enjoys snuggling up in the duvet. My woes aside, I’m very pleased that your son is better and that you’re spending time caring for him and supporting your other children; it’s what good Dads do. If we don’t hear from you again, I’ll miss you but I’ll know that you’ve moved on enjoying new opportunities and Maximising your Life. Thank you for sharing your journey and thank you for sharing your heart. Warm hugs 😘😘

It will be good for you soul and for your mental health. Through watching your videos I have already determined that canal life is not for me. The solitude, and the confines of living in a metal tube seem crushing to m. It will be good for you to get out of it for a while - a trip to the middle east sounds like a good opportunity to change the scenery for a while. Have a great trip!

@chrismears-inslowtime 5 месяцев назад

I’m pleased I’ve been able to influence people in the correct and right way. It was not a choice for me, it was almost a necessity for reasons. Do I want out…….this job may offer an opportunity. But as I said, the boat is my home.

Hi Chris, just for info I have two kids plus grandkids in New Zealand and I know that over the last 10 years house prices have risen dramatically there by about 70% in most regions. I know that it`s a fairly expensive place to visit nowadays.

Isn’t everything going up expediently. Not so sure globalisation is as good as it’s made out to be. Need to back to trading partners and rely on those. Never happen as it’s too late to reinvest in the infra

Enjoy the month in the Middle East Chris. To misquote.....Life is not a destination it is a journey. Having followed your journey thus far, I look forward to following your adventures.

You’re going to the Middle East as a mercenary…… you’re a wild “soldier of foreign”, don’t deny it…..

Fellas, it’s an office job and the knees couldn’t take the soldier of fortune job. That said in a way, yes. If it becomes permanent!

Nice one Chris Make sure they pay you in Bitcoin Loved the slow drone tracking shot......save those so you can just bring them up when it suits from the menu. I'm so glad to hear that your Max is on the healthy side of things. I deal with Lymphoma and have done chemo and has helped me immensely. Hard though when it's your kids......my heart go's out. Throw your self to the wind friend

TBF I'm constantly losing stuff on the boat and I'm sure I jinxed it because when I moved aboard I thought it's such a small space I couldn't lose anything 😆😆😆 but TV remotes and mobile phones are the prime suspects to go missing oh and sometimes food from the fridge goes missing because my lurcher can open the fridge door 😂😂😂 also I found I got used to living on the boat instantly I just had to get used to driving the boat which i found quite intimidating for the first couple of months also as you know I started out on the K&A I bought my boat from Sally narrowboats in bradford on avon marina and have to say its a great little marona and sally narrowboats have their own dry dock so do a lot of boat jobs and their a great bunch of people their soooo helpful and it's only a 20 minute cycle to Trowbridge center via the tow path or the road if it's wet and muddy ps sorry if I made that sounds a bit of an advert for them 😅😅

Always had that chimney Julie. When I move I take it down and in the winter have a smaller one to keep the stove burning. I also sweep it each time I move so it never clogs up. Only takes a minute.
