    I liked that this showed more of what it is like to actually live onboard as a break from the more usual maintenance or scenic videos. Also, that pumpkin might have been the right type to make a pie out of.

    Thank you Mel. Another adult who admits to being terrified of the dark! I'm now what they call a Septagerariun and am still waiting to 'grow out of' my irrational fear of the dark - whilst realising in my rational moments that it is never going to happen and I'm stuck with sleeping with the hall light on every night and not even taking the rubbish out once it gets dark! It sounds so stupid I know but fear of anything is a real emotion. I also hate horror films! On a happier note!!! The pumpkin looks great, Paul will soon be back with you again, the rain always stops and the clouds always make way for the blue skies. Thank you for sharing your everyday life with us when Paul is away. Keep smiling and living that dream.

    As always, a lovely video and a great attitude. As a US citizen I may never get
    to see a narrowboat or a wide beam. Since you mentioned visiting another
    boat.....I would love to see any interior shots anyone is willing to share.
    Don't mean to be intrusive but I am amazed at the time, effort, and
    craftsmanship that owners have put into their boats. Hope that doesn't
    come out sounding weird.

    I wish I could remember the name of a narrowboater , from Frances’ canals, I came across last year , maybe you’ve seen her. She goes to vintage and second hand shops to get clothes to upscale and sell online, you’d have a lot in common. I haven’t seen any videos from her since Covid so she may have moved home to her parents home till it was safe again. I’m sure it was lonely and probably unsafe for her living alone on a little boat. Her Father owned a hire company if I remember correctly, but then again I’m getting up there and watch so many cloggers I don’t trust my memory😂🤣. I think she was selling on EBay or Etsy to begin but was starting her own website because the fees for those sites were ridiculous. I’m glad you’ve found a friend with same interests, it must get lonely staying alone . Is Paul staying at work for long periods? Hope all is well for you both, take care🙋🏼‍♀️

      Doubtless you have considered (?) a mooring in Oxford.
      If not but you are living in Oxford then the pubs in Oxford are not bad at all. Not all in city centre.
      My favourite is the Turf Tavern, under the "bridge of sighs", turn left down the alley.
      Covered Market ... make your first recce without your purse and plastic!!! 😂😂😂
      Unsophisticated it might appear but nothing unsophisticated about relieving you of cash in the woollens stalls 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. (On the far right wall ref from the main entrance.)
      And breakfast in upstairs cafe for "after the night before".
