# 180 Prepping for a Big Storm and How I Earn a Living on My Narrowboat
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ม.ค. 2024
- We have been in an Arctic blast on our tiny NARROWBOAT home and now a very powerful storm called Isha is on its way! How do I make my boat safe? As the storm pounds the boat, I talk about how I run my business and earn a living from my narrowboat. When the storm is over, I see the impact it's had on the canal which ends up with me taking a big risk on a railway level crossing! Sit back, relax and enjoy. Take care🦋🌻

It's always lovely to hear from you and I will get back to you
Not sure what it is about a British lady's voice. It's very soothing to Americans like me. She could record a record of her reading the phone book and I would buy it.
What a kind comment; I'm currently sitting here recording the phone book to sell to you! 😂 Thank you so much for your lovely message. Take care🦋🌻
@@themindfulnarrowboattoo funny. Thank you for the opportunity to laugh.
That’s because Americans accents are very harsh.
Shes a mix of Sally Philips from Smack the Pony and Sian Gibson from Car Share this girl... 😊
@@themindfulnarrowboat:)
Even blustery Isha couldn't spoil the relaxing chilled nature of your videos Vanessa. Have a good weekend!
I am so relieved that you still found the video relaxing.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
Hi Vanessa, a belated thank you for your delightful book, received earlier on this year. It has inspired me to stop and stare, observe and really appreciate all the wild life I encounter each day as I walk the dogs, along the banks of the Water of Leith, here in the heart of Edinburgh. Your enjoyable blog and illustrations have pushed me to pick up pencils and brushes after a long “rest” from painting.
Best wishes to you and Zeph.
At the rate your art progresses, you’ll be adding “professional artist” to your CV. It’s becoming stunning 🤩
That is so kind of you. Practising each week is definitely helping.Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
So glad to hear you managed ok during the storms and cold.I felt for all the narrowboats and their people as we heard news of storms and flooding in UK..you have such a lovely,calm demeanor as you narrate, but im sure it was scary! Beautiful story of the wrens..al the creatures that forage and endure in Nature.I am hoping to order one of your beautiful journals soon.You touch my heart.Much love from snowy Ontario
That is such a kind and thoughtful comment, Joanne! 🤗 The storms are scary as they are so noisy, but it is quite safe on a narrowboat as long as your ropes are secure.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
You have made a lovely life for yourself, congratulations.
Thank you so much for your kindness.Have a super week, take care🌻🦋
@@themindfulnarrowboat I lived on my narrowboat "unicorn" for about two and a half years cruising just like you. I no longer have my boat because of other commitments unfortunately. But I still retain wonderful poetic moments I shall cherish for eternity.
Once again, I am enthralled by your videos, drawings, and the commentary. It is so beautiful
That is so kind of you.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
PS thrilled to think that my book has been on your boat!
Isha was my first storm since I moved onto my narrowboat and I was soooo paranoid I was checking the ropes every hour until midnight but I actually enjoyed weathering out the storm on a boat
Hi Nathan, what a storm to start your lifetime of narrowboat storms- and then Jocelyn was even stronger I thought! It is exciting though isn't it?Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
@@themindfulnarrowboat I absolutely loved it the noise was just unbelievable but it's as you said I'm your video it's about being safely moored and being prepared before the storm hits also my boat is as former hire boat and has four massive conservatory style windows in the saloon so I had the perfect viewpoint its like owning my own bird hide
Love how you maintain your positive outlook through any and all challenges.
That is so kind of you, Alan. Thank you so much! Take care🦋🌻
That train crossing was wicked as was the storm. The snowdrops make me feel that this winter will soon pass. Bring on spring. Your artwork and writing are lovely 😍
Definitely bring on spring! 😄Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
Hello Vanessa - greetings from Poland
Storms, iced in, blocked in between closed locks and a broken rail crossing - what a time you had.
The birds and the snowdrops were really lovely - can't wait for Spring.
It really has been an eventful new year so far! I hope it is warmer in Poland now? I can't wait for spring either.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
Whenever I order something from the internet or out of a catalog, I do so with the understanding that the thumbnail I’m viewing, is a highly stylized, electronically embellished version that some marketing person has envisioned as being able to sell the most of whatever the product is, and only bears a passing resemblance to the actual product. That being said, I just received my copy of “The Nature Journal of a Narrowboater 2022”.
I had reasonably high expectations for the quality of the content, from watching the multifaceted creator’s videos over the course of the year. The poetry and artistry weave a tapestry in one’s mind of her journeys and thoughts, and are uniquely wonderful. I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened the package and found a book of high quality materials, beautiful printing and just overall excellent quality. It is a fabulous buy at this price. I will be ordering my 2023 edition shortly. Thank you.
Hi Brad, I held my breath whilst reading your comment as I thought you were going to say that my journal was a disappointment after reading your previous experiences; you should have heard my sigh of utter relief when I got to the end of your comment! Thank you so much for your kindness; I really appreciate it. Have a super rest of the week, take care🦋🌻
@@themindfulnarrowboat😅I am just now finding your TH-cam channel and am immediately enthralled! What medium do you use for your artwork? It is very beautiful along with your writings. Looking forward to learning and see more of you here on your channel. :) Your boat is amazing! I live very near the Mississippi River in Minnesota, U.S.A. so of course the boat caught my attention right away! 😄
A truly beautiful account of a winter storm told in a warm and soothing manner I really enjoyed your trip around the museum and your enthusiasm and delight about the exhibit’s passed down to your ordinance and the poem at the end was beautiful. Thank you…
That is such a kind comment. Thank you so much! Have a super rest of the week. Take care 🦋🌻
I truly enjoy your night scenery. Plus the crashing of rain, wind howling, night sky. Most narrow boat vlogs leave these out, and that's a shame. You make it so natural and appealing. Please continue, it is a big plus. Be safe and enjoy your outings.
I am so pleased that you enjoyed some nighttime storm footage.Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
Happy and relieved you made it through Isha safely and with no damage to your boat. All souls accounted for! Xx
So am I; it's always such a worry in a big storm. Thank you for watching and commenting. Take care🦋🌻
@@themindfulnarrowboat With great pleasure, Vanessa!
You make canal life look so tranquil, I love to take time out and express my feelings through poetry, thank you for a lovely insight into your world of relaxation and beautiful locations 😃
It is great to know that you are writing poetry to convey your feelings too. It's a wonderful way to do that isn't it? Thank you for your lovely comment.Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
Hi Vanessa.So long awaited vlog,please follow up with more please,and quickly.We look every day for your posts,which we love.The music you use is perfect too.Thankyou.❤😊
I am so pleased that you look for my vlog every day- that is so kind of you. I post a vlog every Friday at 4:30pm, but if I am unable to put one out, then I put a little post out first explaining.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
I don’t think I’ve ever known a winter as stormy as this one. I bet you will be glad when spring finally comes. It was interesting to hear about Josiah Wedgwood, I didn’t know that he was one of the people who fought against slavery. Lovely nature as always, we have some resident wrens in our garden, they are such cute little birds. I hope it’s not too long before you can move on again, winter closures must make it very difficult for narrow-boaters, especially continuous cruisers when you can’t get your essentials like water and diesel. Stay safe and warm all of you. Lots of love. xxxxx
It really has been a stormy winter hasn't it? It's great to know that the wrens are visiting your garden as the cold weather makes it so hard for them to find insects and so they go looking for seeds- you're saving the wrens, Shirley!Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
I once walked the canal path from Hebden Bridge to Todmorden. It was evening, then it was night. The barges looked so cozy. Sometimes a bit of smoke escaped, sometimes I could hear muffled music. Beautiful.
I know exactly what you mean by this. When I walk along the canal in the evening and see the boats' lights and chimney smoke it makes me feel all cosy too. Thank you so much for watching my vlog. Have a super week, take care🌻🦋
What an enriched special life you have. Your sweet soul obviously attracts kindness 😊
That is such a kind comment.Thank you so much! Take care🌻🦋
Thank you for taking the time to visit Wedgwood. I am originally from Longton but my parents emigrated to Australia when I was 10 in 1960. I returned in 1970 and worked in the offices at Wedgwood Barlaston. We had a couple of royal visits, one from Prince Phillip and another from Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother. I loved every minute of my three years there before coming back to Australia. I had every intention of returning to travel more but fate intervened when I met my future husband on my return journey home. It was an unforgettable time and I made lasting memories. The factory is set in beautiful farm land in Barlaston and as I remember every one I met loved working there 💫🇬🇧🫖. Last time I was there I visited the cafe where the afternoon tea was served on the most beautiful crockery you will find.
What a fabulous story; when you next visit, you should add these memories to that wall that I read from. Fancy meeting so much royalty too!Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
Glad to see you made it through the storm OK. I worry about all the narrowboaters there with these harsh storms and flooding! Waiting excitedly for your 2022 and 2023 journals to arrive here in New Hampshire USA! Stay safe! Much love!
I think it always sounds worse on a narrowboat than it actually is. Storm Jocelyn was worse, I thought as it shook the boat a lot more. Thank you so much for buying my books and for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
The power and force of nature. Never to be underestimated. Glad that you survived such a wicked storm.
The big unresolved question, did you find the “chimney hat”? 🤔👍😀
I wondered that too !
I didn't find my chimney's hat and its head is ever so cold at the moment! 🥶 🤭Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
Isha took it and has not given it back! 🤭
Hello again. When we used to caravan we wrapped the aqua rolls in the foam jackets you buy for the hot water cylinders in the house to prevent them freezing
That is such a good idea!Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
Awesome ❤Photage extrodinary .. narratives splendid ..vocal superb ..background music so nice ..All 🙏
That is so kind of you.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
What a great vlog Vanessa, this time of year the storm's come in thick and fast. Keep your head down and stay safe 🙏 .
There have been so many storms this winter; what a hurly burly time!Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
Thanks Vanessa for being positive organised and creative, during tough weather from freezing rainy Ontario. Glad to hear your community boaters are helping you out too. ❤. And that you're using a post-box for the delivery ! For Huawei, we say Wah-way, although i think there were issues here with that provider/supplier
I shall be able to pronounce it now! 🤩👍Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
Just ordered one of your beautiful nature journals. Thank you.
That is so kind of you- thank you so much! Take care🦋🌻
So beautiful Vanessa... Thankyou for sharing. Much love.. Xx
That is so kind of you. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
I love the sound of thunder and lightning, stormy winds and heavy rain or hail bouncing off my windows,it sends me to sleep within minutes. I don't do social media where can I purchase your book. Excellent video as always. Thanks you.
Rain sounds wonderfully calming on a boat, but the bashing of the solar panels in the wind just doesn't have the same effect for me. My book is on Etsy which guests can buy on without creating an account. It's themindfulnarrowboat.etsy.com I appreciate your interest in buying a copy. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
:smiles: One of my favourites times in watching a narrowboaters channel is when I recognise where they are :D In this case the most resonant was that foot path near the malfunctioning level crossing :)
Does it normally malfunction then? Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
@@themindfulnarrowboat Ahh no :smiles: My wording was misleading it seems - I just meant that it was malfunctioning in this instance :D Mind you, it does always feel a little 'exposed' and enclosed at the same time when you cross it. I think that is possible because the road is quite narrow and the safety equipment is scaled to suit.
Looks so much like the Erie Canal near where I was born in upstate NY, USA. I also remember the drawing or pencil box. My wife of that time, the 80s on, liked crafts and drawing. Since I had once enjoyed it myself before becoming an engineer, I got a kit as well. We even joined an exhibition together along the canal. We also rode mule drawn narrowboats on the original canal remnants. She passed away in 2010. I remarried a year ago.
What wonderful memories and how special to have ridden mule drawn narrowboats too.Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
Marvellous. You are truly living. Stay safe.
It does make me feel alive to live like this- you're right.Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
Hi Vanessa, this is the first time watching you tonight, within 3 minutes you had me hooked and subscribed.
What a lovely calming video. Thank you from Preston Lancs.
That is so kind of you! I am really pleased that you enjoyed the vlog and subscribed.Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
This is the first time I've seen your channel I love your 🐶 your 🏡 and your poem
Hi Becky, thank you so much for finding my channel and watching this vlog. Have a super rest of the week. Take care 🌻🦋
Oh I’m so excited for my books! Thank you so much for the tour. The Girls are excited to see the animals.❤ I hope you didn’t suffer to much with the storm! We have warmed up a little, no more carrying water for a few weeks.😊 Be well!
I am so pleased that you have all warmed up a little.Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for buying my books too. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
Wonderful moments of narrowboat life.! Through all seasons.! its exciting.. best wishes for you 3.. x 🌳🍃🐾
Each season has its own unique set of excitement doesn't it?Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
WOW I have lived nearby on the river Avon for 12 years and never seen it frozen over like that.
Your nature art is awesome. A real talent you have.
Edit: By the way, that's called a Dip Stick. What Del Boy used to call Rodney.
That is so kind of you! Poor, Rodders! 🤭 Thank you for watching. Take care🦋🌻
Sure was a horrible storm Vanessa two on the trot as we say shame you lost your chimney top did you find it i guess it’s in the canal you will have to get your magnet out ,I hate wind it’s something you can’t see ,well I hope you got through the storms with it to much damage,till next time take care keep safe John 🐕🦺🌹🙏🤔🤭😅🫢🫶🧑🦽🧑🦽
Hi John, sadly, I didn't find my chimney hat and then something else has happened to our chimney which you'll see in next week's vlog.Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super week, take care🌻🦋
61 wrens in a nest box is crazy. Such delightful birds. Very interesting to hear about how you plan your days and work and what it means. So difficult with these storms. What a crazy winter. I have never known such extreme weather. I really feel for you. How exhausting all that walking. Be safe please.
I adore the thought of 61 wrens in a nest box! 🥰 Thank you for your kindness- take care🦋🌻
I watch far too many TH-cam videos, and I enjoy all different genres, but there’s a beauty and flow in these that I just don’t see anywhere else. Just fantastic.
That is such a kind comment and I’m so pleased that you enjoy my vlogs. They are a pleasure to make. Thank you so much 😊 Have a super week. Take care🌻🦋
I love how cozy she seems while the storm blows outside.
Thank you for watching. Take care🌻🦋

I’ve just caught on to this channel and it really does appeal. I was thinking how does this girl earn her living and now I know! How idyllic. I need a new adventure! Thank you! My dad opened my eyes to bird watching but you have now linked it artistically.
Thank you!
Hi Beverley, I am so pleased that you are enjoying the vlogs; well done to your Dad for getting you into bird watching too- it is a hobby that is good for your soul. Have a super week. Take care 🦋🌻

Thank you so much, that's really kind of you. Take care🦋🌻
I didn't know about Wrens communally nesting 😮 I wonder if any other birds do that.
I've never seen the wind cracking the ice before!
Glad you're through it OK. The repeated storms have been vile.
You've nice writing, for a teacher, Vanessa, it always amuses me when teachers write in childlike style, outside of work.
That is a good question about communal roosting; I know that some do, but not in a small nest box like that; I loved reading about the record of 61 wrens all tightly packed together for warmth; isn't that adorable?Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
Special as always!!!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
you had me when you knew your lichens ... your art is fabulous ...
I’m trying to learn more of my lichens but I know the common ones now and I think they are wonderful 🤩 Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋

I love how she places her hand on the first page and makes a connection!
Thank you for watching. Take care🦋🌻
I can't think of any storms when I lived in Uk like the ones you suffered lately.
So your a busy Lady , busier than I ever realized, so I will try and keep my comments concerning questions to a minimum in future.
You need a clip fastener on your chimney Vanessa but I hope you found it.
I used to go by a place when cycling with my Brother close to Derby named Denby Pottery Est 1809 which is still producing but Wedgewood is on the next level I guess.
Hopefully that is the last of the bad weather for a while for you.
Your smile always makes me smile.
We do seem to have a lot more storms these days; it's ever since we gave them names; I think they like to have their name heard and so they ramp up their stormy efforts a bit more!🤭 Isha, decided she would rather suit a chimney hat and so, she has not returned it, but something else happens to our poor chimney in the next vlog...😱 What a wonderful part of the world to cycle with your brother when you were younger! Thank you for your lovey comment. Have a super week, take care🦋🌻
I think the Americans started naming Storms for whatever reason Vanessa.
Wonderful vlog. Thank you. Stay safe.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋

Your work is so beautiful 💗
That is so kind of you, Jan. I have a question for you, boaters keep telling me not to moor in Hanley Park; it looks so pretty there, would you moor there? As a local, I think you might be able to help me with this. Take care🌻🦋
I haven't lived in Stoke on Trent for 46 years since getting married and moving to Cheshire, so can't really comment, but as always take care where you moor, safety in numbers usually. I know there is either a Marina or moorings in Etruria, or there was some years ago
Im impressed
Thank you so much. Take care🦋🌻
Great drawings !
That is very kind of you- thank you so much! Take care🌻🦋
