I found your channel last week and it’s so unlike others that I watch, no sensational announcements no dramas just a good honest people cataloging their experiences, you are both finding the joy in life and it’s refreshing to follow, all of the content is interesting and I’m sure I’m not alone in this but I think lots of people see you as pretty brave to give up the 24/7 hamster wheel that 99.9% of people are on and live life on your terms, you won’t ever regret it.
Thank you for this Gina! You really Hit the nail on the head here. We were both working ALL the time to pay huge bills and an ridiculous mortgage… and at the end of the day we found we had a nice house but no spare cash to do anything nor enjoy the house we spent all our week paying for! We both met whilst travelling and we craved those more relaxed and carefree times, but still wanted a home base and then came up with the idea of living on a narrowboat! I am so pleased we did! We will share the full story in future episodes! But yes… life is too short to live on the hamster wheel.. we wanted to live life on our terms!!! ❤️
In a world full of carefully manicured TH-cam videos about boats (which are also good), it’s wonderful to watch two people ‘learning by doing’ and enjoying themselves along the way. Keep the videos coming, I watch feeling like it’s a window into of real life afloat😁
Such a breath of fresh air to see two authentic lovely people, telling it how it is and sharing a slice of their adventure with us. I live in a city so this is just the kind of nature and escapism I need at the moment! Keep up the good work!!! ❤❤❤
I didn’t want the video to stop ! I’m so happy I’ve caught your journey at the very beginning. Can not wait for more videos . Wishing you both all the very best … ❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My favourite part of moving is the unpacking, finding a place for everything and putting everything in it’s place! I’ll bet things get moved plenty of times over the next few months. Good luck with the first cruise.🤞
This reminds me a bit of the cine films my dad used to take of our camping holidays in the sixties I know its . a narrow boat but I mean the style of filming ..its nostalgic @So refreshing to watch 🏕️thankyou
I just had your channel pop up on my recommended, & I’ve just sat here with a warm cup of milky horlicks like a grandma, lol, watching both of your beautiful videos & I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed them. I have 2 chronic genetic disabilities, I’ve had to come to terms with letting go of a lot of my dreams for practical reasons, but I have the fondest memories of narrowboat trips growing up, lazy days on the river during spring & summer with my brothers friends narrowboat, going out as a family. I was fortunate enough to grow up on a farm surrounded by wildlife, my heart is in the country & nature, I can’t even begin to tell you how much I smiled when you panned over your beautiful narrowboat, or over to the trees, watching the winter sun peak through, isn’t it just beautiful? I’ll be living vicariously through the both of you. It’s so lovely seeing a young couple get out of the ‘rat race’ & just take a big leap of faith to follow their dreams. I lost my beautiful mum very suddenly 12 months ago, & when you lose someone suddenly like that, it really opens your eyes to how short life can be. Grasp it with both hands. I’m honoured to be on this journey with you, & I absolutely love the way you vlogged - don’t change a single thing! So much love & blessings to you both on your new adventures! 💗 xx
Oh Laura, what a beautiful message. Thank you for taking the time to write to us on here. It sounds like you have been through a lot of late and so if we are able to bring a little smile to your face then that has made our week. What beautiful memories you have from your childhood along the canals! What precious recollections. There were many reasons we decided to change our lifestyle and some of the motivating factors were to do with health and also a few people close to our lives that had some issues come up that really reminded us that life is too short! Thinking of you xx so happy to have you here with us ✨
I loved the realness of your vid, no dramatic emotional music or super fake editing, it really was a pleasure to watch. keep it up guys i look forward to following your new life.
This is our Sunday night viewing, so much more real, interesting and entertaining than most on telly! Keep the content coming Ula and Josh. Would love to go for a beer with you Josh and put the world to rights.
Oh my days...you are both such a breath of fresh air and smiles galore...! I have been struggling a great deal with life of late, having set up a business from my rented farmhouse some 7 years ago that is service base led, I have found myself so lost in recent years, burnout and exhausted, feeling overwhelmed by the endless demands on my time and not least of all the financial demands... Covid has left my business struggling, and what with various difficult personal and family problems too, I have been turning to VLOGS and such like, seeking a simpler, slower and less complicated life, one where there is choice and no longer slavery to systems or routines... I stumbled across your VLOG, as you do, when just drifting aimlessly through TH-cam, and I have to say, I think you are the most lovely couple and the least mad souls I have come across. I think what you are doing and how you are doing it, is just perfect. Watching you is so calming, you are a little ray of sunshine in my life, and I really cherish being able to sit and watch you both. The simplicity, the downsizing, and the nourish approach to life that you have embraced is invaluable. The happiness and fun that is palpable between you both when you do anything...is just heartwarming and uplifting; so thank you for doing this and sharing it, as I for one can say that you make a difference in my day, and are somewhat of an inspiration. My dream is to live in a small dwelling that I can actually own myself, and one day to write something, a book, whatever, who knows? I want to continue my path into Reiki healing and find a way to live slower and more meaningfully, that is fully present and receptive to the little things in life, to immerse myself in nature and connect with, and hold space for and nourish myself and the authenticity of who I am. So, please keep Vlogging and sharing, I love your shared snippets into your new adventure and can not wait to see how life unfolds for you both from here on in...In peace Sarah xxxx
Hello beautiful lady, Thank you so much for your heartfelt message to us. We wanted to make sure to carve out some time to respond to you. First off, thank you so much for your kind words, really is lovely to hear and made us smile a lot (more than usual 😜) Your message to us really did resonate. It's not a rare thing, unfortunately. It's sad to hear this is the norm for so many people around the world. Really is sad.. We felt similar too if we're honest. It was the biggest driver for us to call 'time-out'!! Something had to give.. we were in a dark and negatively contemplative period of life. We resonate with the things you've mentioned albeit in our own way. It sounds like you should keep focusing on your dream of the small holding. The slower-paced life and more meaningful/fulfilling things you want to fill your time doing. The reiki sounds perfect. When times get tough. Just tap into these thoughts and know you're taking small steps to make this more of a reality. It's the only way, or life will pass us all by before we action anything.. take care of number one! We love you!! We are so glad to have you along for the adventure, and all of us together have no idea where or how it'll end up! But it's most important to enjoy the here and now. All of love and blessings to you Sarah, Ula and Josh xxx
@@UlaandJosh Thank you guys, that is so lovely of you to take the time to reply and with such nurturing words. Bless you both. I was sorry to see you had issues with your toilet and I was so sad to see you had the leak. Poor Ula, you looked so worried, and Josh so tired, but the most beautiful thing to watch was Josh holding you and saying it would be alright, and you, Ula taking care of Josh too, telling him how good he is..You two really are a dream to watch together, the dynamic in your relationship is soulful and really nourishing. Love that supports, enables and facilitates both growth and a safe haven for the heart is invaluable..it is what keeps us going through the tough times and makes us shine from within during the fun times...keep it up guys. Just wanted to say too, how beautiful the decoration was that you unearthed on the outside of the boat...how gorgeous was that? Lucky you! When you thank people who bought you coffee each week at the end of your Vlog, have they actually bought you coffee or donated to you, and if so, how do they do that? I would love to buy you both a coffee... If you ever feel like a trip up to Cornwall, obviously without your gorgeous boat, as Canals are somewhat lacking here, then please do look me up, I would be delighted to offer you a place to stay and explore...www.thecowshedweddings.co.uk you can also find me on wwwfreathyfarmhouse.com I have a bell tent here in the summer, you would be very welcome to come stay in that or in the farmhouse with me for a break as my guests. Here is the link to the Bell Tent it is so long though... www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/658429674427835938?adults=2&children=0&infants=0&pets=0&check_in=2023-04-01&check_out=2023-04-06&federated_search_id=0aa8850a-032c-4bcc-b7ca-7542d8513acb&source_impression_id=p3_1679908942_UGOiCAck9%2BuO7esv Any way, I am looking forward to this weeks Vlog and well done you with all the locks, that was brilliant. Thank you again for your kind words and encouragement, it means a lot. We are all here to help each other on our path, so thank you for taking time to connect with me as you did. Stay happy and safe. In peace, love and light, Sarah xxx
So lovely to escape with you to the tranquillity of the English canals💫 And so great to get an inside view into what it's really like - especially for a couple of newbies muddling through! Keep up the good work! 👍
Thanks so much :) we are really trying to capture life as it unfolds. So pleased you enjoyed the episode! And yessss the English canal network is beautiful… very peaceful and tranquil :) x
I love watching your adventures - what a lot of energy you need to do this! I love your joy and sense of humour in the face of the challenges. I have subscribed and can't wait for the next episode. xxx
So glad I learned about you two. I wish the two of you and your channel all the best. I will look forward to your weekly adventures. Your smiles and positivity are lovely to see.
I'm so impressed with you positivity and adventurous spirit. You are two beautiful gentle natured people , a pleasure to watch , I'm looking forward to seeing how you progress from boating amateurs to canal boat experts . 😀
I'm loving watching your video's you both sound so happy living on your longboat...I have to say that village you went to is stunning with the Tudor style home's with thatched roof's...see you in your next video 💜🇦🇺
Hiya Terri-Ann! So many beautiful villages to explore when travelling by boat! We are getting to know so much about England in such a Short space of time. Feeling very grateful for the life ✨
@@UlaandJosh hi there yes I can hear the excitement in your voices it really is a special time in your lives and one which I'm sure will bring you both so much happiness...doing what you're doing will really strengthen the love you have for each other I'm sure 💜
I know it's early days, but you both seem so at ease with boatlife, getting your own dog would be a great idea, they can give you so much love. A lovely video
Good luck guys on your new life on the water. 'Jethro' looks like a wonderful flome - my term for my own floating home on the Rochdale Canal and a dream I realised only last spring. Lots of experiences to enjoy and challenges to overcome but then that's life on the cut.
Oh we like that term Geoff! 😏 we've heard the Rochdale is lovely too? Keep your eye out for us as we'd love to say hello and speak to another fellow boater 🙏 all the best buddy, take care
What a charming couple. We are in our 70’s and have been seriously thinking about buying a boat and returning to live in the Uk after 40 years in Australia.
Hiya Lynne, I grew up in australia!! What an amazing country it is. Happy to be in the U.K. now rediscovering my homeland. It’s a wonderful way to explore
I loved your second boat video, so authentic! I’m glad you chose to share your journey with us from the start of your life onboard instead of showing us a manicured version when you’d settled in and done everything. I’m really looking forward to following your journey. Your boat is lovely on the inside. Take care, stay safe you two. X
Thank you Shirley!!!! We wanted to document our journey from the start for our families and friends and then thought “hey why not pop it on TH-cam” and we have had the most wonderful response so far. Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos! It means so much to us x
Oh my goodness, I have only just started following you you two & I'm already in love with you both - You're living the life I dream of... 💖💖. I hope to watch all your videos in the next few days, you've really inspired & excited me. ❤❤
It’s winding hole as in weather not winding as in cable. It comes from the days of horse drawn boats where the boatmen would use the wind to turn the boat. Much love.
@@UlaandJosh we were in your position 6 years ago when we bought our boat. Everything can seem a bit daunting but you learn fast and everything is amazing. Just wait til spring and summer you won’t regret a thing . Ps. Please don’t use an oven with an open door to warm the boat, very dangerous. C02 x
I love your boat are you to see wonderful I been looking to rent a boat because I can't afford to buy so lovely to see this way of life well done you lovely couple taking a leap of faith I'm so impressed 🥰
Omg that's my local post office!! I commute to London every day so i spend the whole journey looking at the canal running alongside the train, the early misty cow parsley mornings in spring are truly magical!!
Love you guys. Enjoy your adventure, one of many in your lives. Thanks for sharing and look forward to your next Vlog.You have such an infectious 😆 laugh. Trevor & Linda xxx
Hi enjoyed the vlog If you stern bilge is filling with water check your stern gland make sure it is topped up with grease turn the handle till it tightens after each time your prop shaft has turned that is where the water is probably coming through the stern gland unless it is rain water if so check any drain holes.
I like how easyli you take if something goes wrong and don't take it to seriosly and discussing every situationen. That makes you so lovely and beautyfull inside. I like to learn this more. Thanks for you both.
Hi Ulna and Josh--Your narrowboat is looking shipshape and more homey. Those push-lights are an added bonus to brighten the dark nooks and crannies too. You live in quite a beautiful environment with all the seasonal challenges like leaks from rain etc. Look forward to more adventures. Jenny USA
Watching you two gives me life 🥰🥰 I've been sitting here unwell for afew weeks.... then I found you both on here..... I've been captivated from the first video I saw, your so relaxing and fun to watch, living my dream you are lol 🥰 xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I live in my campervan, come summer I buy solar candles and other lights I leave by my windows to charge which is great for not worrying about batteries from shops and even drain on my leisure batteries as it all mounts up ,. USB is good also
Awww nice to see you working through things and getting help from an expert that’s the way to learn from someone who has been through it all good luck tc now the oldies Ann n David not boaters just luv to watch 👍🤗🤗👍
What a fantastic video 😀we all gather as a family on Sunday evenings and watch a handful of our favourite TH-cam subscriptions. Yours is now on our list!!! Huge admiration to you both for doing this, it’s the sort of thing we all talk about doing but really never have the nerve to do, our daughters who are at university still live with us but once our situation changes it’s our chance, we will be mid 50s by then … is that too old😳… we’re all looking forward to following you both on your fantastic adventure. The best of luck . Gary, Claire, Heidi and Annie Thompson 👍👍👍
Hiya Gary, this is fantastic!! So happy you found us :) and absolutely not… one is never too old to begin this way of life. So happy to have the four of you with us on this journey ✨❤️
I love your videos! What a life! I would give anything to have this kind of life! Can't wait for new videos! Do you leave your car there alongside the road?? How about a full tour of the boat?
Hiya Lola, so happy to have you here. I wonder if it comes across as practical so far?!? 😁 It is definitely getting much much easier now that we have moved in :) we have been on the boat for nearly two months now and we are loving it!!
Glad to have found this little gem of a channel. Very technical work you're doing there "press the red knob thing" and "what does this little silver pipe thing do"? 🙂 How lovely and down to earth.
Oh , you guys are so lucky, that would be amazing living on a narrow boat. You both are so sweet and the relationship between you guys is beautiful,some people just belong together. I love how U both care for nature and wildlife. I look forward to seeing many more episodes and seeing your beautiful country. The UK is such a gorgeous country.
Hello there, thank you for taking the time to write a lovely message! Very happy to have you on this journey with us and thank you for the well wishes. Josh and I hold the same sentiment… we are so lucky that we crossed paths those years ago in India!!! More on that story in future episodes😁 x
Thank you so much!!! It is crazy to see how well it has been received so far. We are thrilled to have such a beautiful community of people so far who are very supportive of our videos. Thank you for the kind feedback also x
What a delight to see your enthusiasm. AllI can say is keep smiling and you will learn how it is done. Ask questions, ask for help when needed and enjoy the journey.
I sure hope you got a better tarp than those u just used !! To leave a reply so quickly was awe inspiring for me. I’ve sat here for weeks after a serious illness with Sepsis diagnosis and I’m now in a nasty flare up of osteoarthritis which needs Oramorph and fentanyl patches watching you two. I’m so jealous I’m crying I’m 71 and sick of life as it is. You go guys do it now. I’m determined to get better and smile but it’s hard very hard. Little lights please be bright…yah see in the cupboards…way to go …..Sunset walk…I’ve open fields behind me with muntjac, feed the foxes every night too….no wild birds as Harris hawks visit scare the life out of my budgies and me when it lands on the flight. Ken is a bright old spark for you both to know and bet he loves it too. Be safe love each other every day. Stephanie U.K. again xxxxx
Hi you guys, I was absolutely fascinated this week to learn about Stern gland grease🤣 I was riveted watching Josh pack that stuff in! I hope you earn a bumper commission for the Hello Fresh ad. It was so comical and entertaining! Nice to see you having fun at the Crick boat show too and loving the Brad and Angelina vibe😍 Hope you both have a good week and look forward to seeing you next Sunday 😊
I love your channel, can’t wait for the next episode! The best of luck to you both wonderful people, I hope to bump into you one day on one of our many walks along the canals ❤
Here he is! So lovely to have this blast from the past. Great to be back in contact with you! Thanks a bunch for your support also Andy! Much appreciated my friend x
I will keep an eye out for you both. When you go to Bath you will go right by the side of my home. I live next to the tow path. Keep up the good work. Lots of boaters along my stretch here.
I just stumbled on your channel a couple of episodes ago. Then did a look at the previous videos you have put up and I am hooked on the content. Can't wait for more!!
Such a cool atmosphere in your videos about the boat! In our era, when TH-camrs and bloggers are trying to properly set the light and all that, the color of your video looks very cozy and unpretentious) . Perhaps it will be a new trend in shooting). The simpler, the better! And also, watching your videos about the boat, it occurred to me that the two of you are some kind of survivalists in the post-apocalypse, but the most optimistic survivalists))!😄😄 You also got out of the dangerous city into the wilderness, so as not to run into crowds of urban zombies.🧟♂ Forgive me for my imagination🙏
I just moved into my SUV about the time you moved onto your boat, so this is lovely. You are both so real 🥰 n a ludicrous world of click- bait. Making due, beautifully, instead of proving the massive immaturity of so many who are only interested in their creature comforts, build ours and nonsense to get views. I lived on a sailboat for 2 years BTW, so cheers both of you, and thank you for your honesty courage and love of the honesty of life

My favourite part of moving is the unpacking, finding a place for everything and putting everything in it’s place! I’ll bet things get moved plenty of times over the next few months. Good luck with the first cruise.🤞
They have indeed and now we have completely emptied the van 🚐 into the boat and cannot find a thing 🤪🤪
This reminds me a bit of the cine films my dad used to take of our camping holidays in the sixties I know its . a narrow boat but I mean the style of filming ..its nostalgic @So refreshing to watch 🏕️thankyou
What a lovely thing to say :) thanks Henrietta! I love a bit of nostalgia x
You two are delightful. So happy to have found you 💓

Hello beautiful lady,
Thank you so much for your heartfelt message to us. We wanted to make sure to carve out some time to respond to you.
First off, thank you so much for your kind words, really is lovely to hear and made us smile a lot (more than usual 😜)
Your message to us really did resonate. It's not a rare thing, unfortunately. It's sad to hear this is the norm for so many people around the world. Really is sad.. We felt similar too if we're honest. It was the biggest driver for us to call 'time-out'!! Something had to give.. we were in a dark and negatively contemplative period of life.

When times get tough. Just tap into these thoughts and know you're taking small steps to make this more of a reality. It's the only way, or life will pass us all by before we action anything.. take care of number one! We love you!!
We are so glad to have you along for the adventure, and all of us together have no idea where or how it'll end up! But it's most important to enjoy the here and now.

So lovely to escape with you to the tranquillity of the English canals💫
And so great to get an inside view into what it's really like - especially for a couple of newbies muddling through! Keep up the good work! 👍
Thanks so much :) we are really trying to capture life as it unfolds. So pleased you enjoyed the episode! And yessss the English canal network is beautiful… very peaceful and tranquil :) x
So much fun!

You work together wonderfully
Thank you Daisy xx
What a fun video. Looking forward to watching more. Enjoy your new journey. 😀😀😀😀

A tip from me, you can have kind of kitchen drawers on wheels on the floor under the the lower kitchen-cabinets😃. Enjoy your new "small" boatlife!
Thanks Rosa!! We need all of the storage tips and solutions 🤪
My gf & I just found your channel, we love watching your progress & can’t wait to see how you both get on.

If you ever get a night with nothing to do look up Danni and Joe. Narrowboat and van owners and just like yourself, friendly and fun to watch.
Thanks for the tip Les xx

I'm loving watching your video's you both sound so happy living on your longboat...I have to say that village you went to is stunning with the Tudor style home's with thatched roof's...see you in your next video 💜🇦🇺
Hiya Terri-Ann! So many beautiful villages to explore when travelling by boat! We are getting to know so much about England in such a Short space of time. Feeling very grateful for the life ✨
@@UlaandJosh hi there yes I can hear the excitement in your voices it really is a special time in your lives and one which I'm sure will bring you both so much happiness...doing what you're doing will really strengthen the love you have for each other I'm sure 💜
What a refreshing vlog. So proud to be one of your first subscribers and loving it. Best ❤
Yeah!! Happy to have you along for the journey xx
I know it's early days, but you both seem so at ease with boatlife, getting your own dog would be a great idea, they can give you so much love. A lovely video
We would love to get one one day... stay tuned :)
Good luck guys on your new life on the water. 'Jethro' looks like a wonderful flome - my term for my own floating home on the Rochdale Canal and a dream I realised only last spring.
Lots of experiences to enjoy and challenges to overcome but then that's life on the cut.
Oh we like that term Geoff! 😏 we've heard the Rochdale is lovely too? Keep your eye out for us as we'd love to say hello and speak to another fellow boater 🙏 all the best buddy, take care
I'm very envious of y’all. Keep up the vlogging - we so enjoy you adventure. 😊
Thanks so much buddy :) xx
Looking forward to following on your journey. I wish all you all the very best with it. 👍👍
Thank you so much Craig!! New episode out tonight at 6pm ☺️
I see a lot of smiles and happiness in your videos. I wish your happiness will never end. Good luck guys 🍀
Thank you so much Igor
What a charming couple.
We are in our 70’s and have been seriously thinking about buying a boat and returning to live in the Uk after 40 years in Australia.
Hiya Lynne, I grew up in australia!! What an amazing country it is. Happy to be in the U.K. now rediscovering my homeland. It’s a wonderful way to explore
cant wait for more episodes!! such genuine people. very happy i came across your channel
Happy to age you Blake! New episode this evening at 6pm :)
Thank you for taking me along on your narrowboat. I’m having as much fun as you are!
Yeahhh so pleased x
I loved your second boat video, so authentic! I’m glad you chose to share your journey with us from the start of your life onboard instead of showing us a manicured version when you’d settled in and done everything. I’m really looking forward to following your journey. Your boat is lovely on the inside. Take care, stay safe you two. X
Thank you Shirley!!!! We wanted to document our journey from the start for our families and friends and then thought “hey why not pop it on TH-cam” and we have had the most wonderful response so far. Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos! It means so much to us x
Great episode and you are lovely people. All the very best x
Thank you so much !! New episode out tonight at 6pm ☺️
Ula your laughter is contagious, I love the positivity and vibrant energy. Abundant blessings & Peace to you both.
Thank you for that :) means a lot xx much love
Brilliant to come across you chaps accidentally. I hope you continue to enjoy your new life and keep making such wonderfully relaxing videos.
Thanks Chris, we are loving the new adventure so far!!! So pleased you came across us accidentally :) very happy to have to here with us. x
Love your positive and happy energy. You two make such a perfect couple. Well done on your two vids, can't wait for the next one. 👍🏻
Ahhhhh Sam! That is so lovely of you. x
Lovely comedy you are natural people keep the stove stoked love from Billy Novax south Spain
Hiya Billy :) thanks for that!! Happy to have you here on the journey with us x
So excited to join you two on your first excursion on your new home!!
Happy to have you Maureen x
You two are great bloggers!! So natural and enthusiastic and very relaxing to go with you on your adventures in a long house boat!! From a gram in 🇨🇦🤗
Oh thank you for the kind words. Xx
Oh my goodness, I have only just started following you you two & I'm already in love with you both - You're living the life I dream of... 💖💖. I hope to watch all your videos in the next few days, you've really inspired & excited me. ❤❤
It’s winding hole as in weather not winding as in cable. It comes from the days of horse drawn boats where the boatmen would use the wind to turn the boat. Much love.
Ohh fantastic!! Haha, thankyou for correcting that, and sharing the back story to it, very interesting 😄
@@UlaandJosh we were in your position 6 years ago when we bought our boat. Everything can seem a bit daunting but you learn fast and everything is amazing. Just wait til spring and summer you won’t regret a thing . Ps. Please don’t use an oven with an open door to warm the boat, very dangerous. C02 x
Can’t wait for the next video! ❤ your channel.
Thank you so much Audrey 🤩🙏
Oh you two just made my evening.
Yeahhhh!! See you tonight at 6pm Allyson x
Really enjoyed meeting you both ken and little dog 🐕
Yeahhhh they are lovely aren’t they :)
Love this…I can’t wait to join you on your adventures! X
So happy to have you Susan x

Looking forward to seeing your plans are for this new adventure!! Just found you guys today!! Already can't wait for the next video!!
Thank you so much! New episode out tonight at 6pm ☺️ x
The boat looks like its ready for a haul-out and some cosmetic TLC ✅✅
Two fun people with adventure ahead 💙
Oh yes! You're not wrong there Steve! Need to get booked in for blacking ASAP. Looking forward to giving her a good paint job too. Thanks 👍
Omg that's my local post office!! I commute to London every day so i spend the whole journey looking at the canal running alongside the train, the early misty cow parsley mornings in spring are truly magical!!
Amazing … we love pewsey!!! We often head back that way. If you see us in the street give us a wave :) we are so looking forward to spring 🌱🌷
@Ula and Josh will do!! Also if you see a boat around the Hungerford area with a 3D tiger/dragon head on it, someone I know called Sofia lives there 😊
Love you guys. Enjoy your adventure, one of many in your lives. Thanks for sharing and look forward to your next Vlog.You have such an infectious 😆 laugh. Trevor & Linda xxx
Oh thank you Trevor and Linda :) we are thrilled to have you on this journey!! Many more adventures to come that’s for sure X
You two really are incredible, I hope you are enjoying boat life and look forward to your next video
Thanks Edward :) x
Hi enjoyed the vlog If you stern bilge is filling with water check your stern gland make sure it is topped up with grease turn the handle till it tightens after each time your prop shaft has turned that is where the water is probably coming through the stern gland unless it is rain water if so check any drain holes.
Thanks Brian! We think it is the stern gland :)
Vi ste srecni ljudi jer zivite onako kako osecate,zelim vam da uzivate u svom novom domu i avanturama koje vas ocekuju.Pozdrav🥰
I like how easyli you take if something goes wrong and don't take it to seriosly and discussing every situationen. That makes you so lovely and beautyfull inside. I like to learn this more. Thanks for you both.
Thank you Sabine… we are always trying to look on the bright side of things! As my mum always said “there are no problems, only solutions”.
@@UlaandJosh woooow, that sounds good. Your mother is a champ
Hi Ulna and Josh--Your narrowboat is looking shipshape and more homey. Those push-lights are an added bonus to brighten the dark nooks and crannies too. You live in quite a beautiful environment with all the seasonal challenges like leaks from rain etc. Look forward to more adventures. Jenny USA
Watching you two gives me life 🥰🥰 I've been sitting here unwell for afew weeks.... then I found you both on here..... I've been captivated from the first video I saw, your so relaxing and fun to watch, living my dream you are lol 🥰 xxxxxxxxxxxxx
❤️❤️❤️
I live in my campervan, come summer I buy solar candles and other lights I leave by my windows to charge which is great for not worrying about batteries from shops and even drain on my leisure batteries as it all mounts up ,.
USB is good also
That's a great idea! Nice one Robert, enjoy the freedom 👍
You two are the most uplifting beautiful souls ❤️ i wish you both all the happiness in the world :)
Ohhh Bob, that's so lovely of you to say! Thankyou so much. And all the best to you too!
Loving your vids, u 2 are so infectious and a really lovely couple to watch, enjoying coming along with u on ur journeys 👍
Oh thank you Tim, that is such a lovely thing you say :)
Awww nice to see you working through things and getting help from an expert that’s the way to learn from someone who has been through it all good luck tc now the oldies Ann n David not boaters just luv to watch 👍🤗🤗👍
Hello Ann and David! We are so lucky to have met Ken, he is such a good friend of ours now :) wishing you both a lovely day x
Love watching Ursula Andress and Chris Martin (sorry Josh) 😂 Can’t wait for the next video.
Hahaha that is great!! Imagine those two doing a narrowboat channel together lol!!
What a fantastic video 😀we all gather as a family on Sunday evenings and watch a handful of our favourite TH-cam subscriptions. Yours is now on our list!!! Huge admiration to you both for doing this, it’s the sort of thing we all talk about doing but really never have the nerve to do, our daughters who are at university still live with us but once our situation changes it’s our chance, we will be mid 50s by then … is that too old😳… we’re all looking forward to following you both on your fantastic adventure. The best of luck . Gary, Claire, Heidi and Annie Thompson 👍👍👍
Hiya Gary, this is fantastic!! So happy you found us :) and absolutely not… one is never too old to begin this way of life. So happy to have the four of you with us on this journey ✨❤️
Love you guys, i can’t wait to follow your journey ❤
Thank you Manon :) see you tonight at 6pm for the new episode !!
enjoying joining you on the journey - or at least the preparations so far!
Thanks for being here with us!! Many actual journeys coming up :)
I love your videos! What a life! I would give anything to have this kind of life! Can't wait for new videos! Do you leave your car there alongside the road?? How about a full tour of the boat?
My dream has always been to live on a boat. Watching to see how practical it would be for me. So far you look like you’re having tons of fun.
Hiya Lola, so happy to have you here. I wonder if it comes across as practical so far?!? 😁 It is definitely getting much much easier now that we have moved in :) we have been on the boat for nearly two months now and we are loving it!!
Glad to have found this little gem of a channel.
Very technical work you're doing there "press the red knob thing" and "what does this little silver pipe thing do"? 🙂
How lovely and down to earth.
Haha you are so right Maxine!!! 🤪 we are getting there slowly. Making sure to enjoy every step along the way x
@@UlaandJosh Thank you, I know I shall. I absolutely love your music too btw x
Amazing it’s like living in an in chanted forest
Ohh that's so true Jan! 🙏 thankyou, glad you're enjoying
Oh , you guys are so lucky, that would be amazing living on a narrow boat. You both are so sweet and the relationship between you guys is beautiful,some people just belong together. I love how U both care for nature and wildlife. I look forward to seeing many more episodes and seeing your beautiful country. The UK is such a gorgeous country.
Hello there, thank you for taking the time to write a lovely message! Very happy to have you on this journey with us and thank you for the well wishes. Josh and I hold the same sentiment… we are so lucky that we crossed paths those years ago in India!!! More on that story in future episodes😁 x
Great video. Looks like your channel is getting very popular, very quickly 😊good for you! Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much!!! It is crazy to see how well it has been received so far. We are thrilled to have such a beautiful community of people so far who are very supportive of our videos. Thank you for the kind feedback also x
What a beautiful journey to share with you both - the videos are fantastic x
Oh thank you Bessie, that means so much to us x
What a delight to see your enthusiasm. AllI can say is keep smiling and you will learn how it is done. Ask questions, ask for help when needed and enjoy the journey.
Great advice thanks Elinor :)
I sure hope you got a better tarp than those u just used !! To leave a reply so quickly was awe inspiring for me. I’ve sat here for weeks after a serious illness with Sepsis diagnosis and I’m now in a nasty flare up of osteoarthritis which needs Oramorph and fentanyl patches watching you two. I’m so jealous I’m crying I’m 71 and sick of life as it is. You go guys do it now. I’m determined to get better and smile but it’s hard very hard. Little lights please be bright…yah see in the cupboards…way to go …..Sunset walk…I’ve open fields behind me with muntjac, feed the foxes every night too….no wild birds as Harris hawks visit scare the life out of my budgies and me when it lands on the flight. Ken is a bright old spark for you both to know and bet he loves it too. Be safe love each other every day. Stephanie U.K. again xxxxx
Oh Stephanie, what a trooper you are. Thank you for being here with us on this new journey. Stay safe also and see you in the next episode xx
Hi you guys, I was absolutely fascinated this week to learn about Stern gland grease🤣 I was riveted watching Josh pack that stuff in!
I hope you earn a bumper commission for the Hello Fresh ad. It was so comical and entertaining!
Nice to see you having fun at the Crick boat show too and loving the Brad and Angelina vibe😍
Hope you both have a good week and look forward to seeing you next Sunday 😊
Ohhhhh thanks for the lovely words Wendy!! So pleased you enjoyed the episode Beauty xx
This is wonderful you guys! And I get to be here from the start! Wow!! So cool!! Much love and well wishes for your new adventure, from USA! 👍🏼🌈❤
Just catching up on past shows, thank you
Nice one Kim xx
WELL DONE... PROPER WATER LIFE. CHEERS!
I love your channel, can’t wait for the next episode! The best of luck to you both wonderful people, I hope to bump into you one day on one of our many walks along the canals ❤
If you see us Stefanie, please make sure to say hi :)
You are such a lovely couple. Really enjoyed watching your videos. Have lots of fun on your boating adventures. Look forward to watching more. 😊XX
Thank you Fiona! So happy to have you on the journey xx
So happy for you both, worked with Boxy back in the days we played firefighters. Loving the content ! #freespririt
Here he is! So lovely to have this blast from the past. Great to be back in contact with you! Thanks a bunch for your support also Andy! Much appreciated my friend x
Just found your channel, I love all the canal boat channels, have to say your boat has my favourite layout so far!
I will keep an eye out for you both. When you go to Bath you will go right by the side of my home. I live next to the tow path. Keep up the good work. Lots of boaters along my stretch here.
If you see us make sure to give us a wave 👋 xx
I most certainly will
Can't wait to see what you do with your new home.
Much to be done… but getting there slowly slowly :) xx
Just brilliant natural down to earth content so chuffed to have found you guys 😊x
Thank you so much for the kind words Paul xx
Your boat looks so cosy! Wshing you all the best for your new life and I look forward to following your journey.👍
It is very cosy on the boat now! Very happy to have you on this journey with us :) thank you for the well wishes xx
I just stumbled on your channel a couple of episodes ago. Then did a look at the previous videos you have put up and I am hooked on the content. Can't wait for more!!
Oh Judy :) thank you for the kind feedback x
Very sweet videos! Good luck in your narrow boat!
Very happy to have you on this journey with us :) thank you for the well wishes xx
Such a cool atmosphere in your videos about the boat! In our era, when TH-camrs and bloggers are trying to properly set the light and all that, the color of your video looks very cozy and unpretentious) . Perhaps it will be a new trend in shooting). The simpler, the better!
And also, watching your videos about the boat, it occurred to me that the two of you are some kind of survivalists in the post-apocalypse, but the most optimistic survivalists))!😄😄 You also got out of the dangerous city into the wilderness, so as not to run into crowds of urban zombies.🧟♂
Forgive me for my imagination🙏
That’s it!!! We are getting apocalypses ready 🤪🤪But seriously it is a beautiful way to live !! 😁✨
I just moved into my SUV about the time you moved onto your boat, so this is lovely. You are both so real 🥰 n a ludicrous world of click- bait. Making due, beautifully, instead of proving the massive immaturity of so many who are only interested in their creature comforts, build ours and nonsense to get views. I lived on a sailboat for 2 years BTW, so cheers both of you, and thank you for your honesty courage and love of the honesty of life
Wow a sail boat! That must have been quite the adventure :) xx
