Really professionally produced video guys. 👏
Thank you!
Dannies love of foraging is adorable thank you for another great vlog
There always jobs to do on any boat. 😂
Good luck with the foraging Dani ❤
We’ve got otters being sighted on the Thames above Windsor which is amazing, 🤞we will see beavers too again.
Thanks again guys, always makes me smile watching ❤
Always something! Aw it’s so amazing for wildlife to be restored!
Found the video! Excellent ! Really informative, thanks
If the under bed damp issues persist, might be worth fitting a 12v PC fan on a small solar panel to circulate fresh air? They only draw single figure watttage, so would only need a tiny panel.
Yeah that could be a good shout actually!
"Becoming a Farm Girl," is a great channel about starting small to grow a homestead. She lives in a cul-de-sac here in the States and she's full of personality!
Thanks for the suggestion I’ll check her out!
To combat your damp, try Nyxi hanging interior wardrobe dehumifieier bags - cheaper than an electric dehumidifier
They look handy! Cheers
So nice to see you back on the screen again. Keep these very interesting, down to earth videos.
Love watching you bake. U should do it more ❤xx
Aw thank you! We will this year ❤️
@@DanniandJoetry little village homestead too xx❤
Hi Danni , Ruth Goodman does a some canning on “Wartime Farm” along with the W I and there is a section in John Seymour s book”Self Sufficiency “ Hope you enjoyed the film 😊
Ooo I will check this out thank you!
just incase you dont have your books on you try using google lens on your phone to take a picture of something you want to find out what it is . i was in AUS last year and took a picture of a leaf in a mates garden that had a fungal growth on it in less than i second it told me what leaf it was and name of the growth was and the nearest shop to us that sold the spray for it
A lot of foraging pages discourage the use of these apps etc as they can be quite dangerous. I’ve seen them give very wrong identifications. I love reading and learning ☺️ amazing what technology is out there though!
Danni and Joe, dudes you are killing it.🤟 You kids are just adorable together. Joe is a madman in the galley. Love the foraging stuff too. Looking forward to all the way to use nettles.💌 Delicious!
Thank you so much! Yes we can’t wait for them to pop up in spring ☺️
Could you possibly add an extra vent under the bed for extra air circulation?
Danni I like to watch Acre Homestead on TH-cam
❤ lovely video guys, thank you! Especially love Danni sharing her love of foraging and homesteading 🤗 beautiful x
Thank you so much!
Mould is nasty stuff, glad you're tackling it as it can seriously affect your health as I'm sure you know.
Lovely happy video, thanks for sharing.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching
The Hollar Homestead is a good one for canning, as Meg has done a number of different videos on it and she's always in the kitchen. Off grid with Dough and Stacy is a good one for preserving and some great food ideas too.
Followed them both thank you! Just a beautiful way of living I feel ☺️
I grew up canning with my Mom and have done quiet a lot of it. I advise you invest in a book called, The Ball Book of Canning.
Will add it to the list thank you!
Whippoorwill Hollow she makes food and cans and she was a lunchroom lady. She makes great food.. Joe 🤷♀️ where's the recipe to those those cinnamon knots?? No those should be pretty easy to make ..Thank you! Love your videos!!
Just subscribed to her! It’s a recipe from Richard Bertinet, not sure if it’s online but it’s from his crumb book ☺️
I like the timelapse cruising, very satisfying. I can't be arsed to 'cook,' it takes so long and makes so much mess that I mostly just warm things up, but those cinamon plaits looked amazing.
Thanks for watching! Aw we think the mess it worth the reward!
If you get stuck in a muddy area, highly recommend a boot brush to help keep your lovely deck area cleanish. Really hope that you both stay safe and cosy with the crazy weather that’s coming this week 🤗🤗
Good idea! Will try get one thank you ☺️
Stay warm and well in the coming cold spell another grand vlog look forward to the diy next time both tc nowthe oldies 🤗🤗
Thank you! We’ve got lots of wood to keep us toasty!
I Just these Vlogs about narrowboats, the two i love to watch were/are 'Floating our Boat' and 'Cruising the Cut' but are very rarely seen thesedays. And thanks loads for showing these so i can reduce my stress levels, good luck and thanks again!!
And BTW Fran from 'Floating our Boat' forages all the time, perhaps you can get some tips from her?
Great vlog
Great vlog, everyday life. The foraging was fab and the buns looking yummy.
Another great vlog - 5⭐'s Thanks for sharing.
About the pink cupboard doors, maybe a small metal strip on the middle shelf and a small magnet on each door?
Nosey neighbour style peering out the window with intrigue 'That was indeed Kevin' adjusts glasses and nerdishly makes a note in pocket notebook 😂😂 Great vlog as usual guys, sorry i missed you in Kings X but maybe bump into you sometime..
😂😂 haha just like that! Aw yes there’s always next time!
Wow very interesting, those mushrooms looked lovely. Uxbridge I\ve been there, my hubby used to fly light aircraft out of Denham which isn't far away.Hey Danni I watch a couple on utube they live in Ioho or however you spell it, they are called "More than farmers" they have a homestead, and 4 kids, chickens, cows, and grow lots and lots of vegetables and do canning as well, a must watch. cooking looks great, enjoy the movie.
Mold and mildew is a constant for a live-aboard, especially in winter. There are commercial cleaners, not inexpensive . You can make your own with this formula with the added advantage being that it does not have a strong smell and it restricts the re-growth of the mold. Spray it on and wipe it off. To I litre of warm water, add 30ml baking soda, 30 ml of Borax, and 15 ml of TSP. Formula courtesy of Practical Sailor magazine. Good luck, and stay warm.
Thanks for that will give that a go if (when!) it comes back!
Love your videos, useful tips, ideas, foraging, baking, comedy and music. 💚
Thank you so much!
The wild garlic I think you're speaking of in the U.S is called RAMPS, it actually a leek that grows wild that tastes like onion and garlic. I have two ramp patches here in western North Carolina, one at my house and one at my Moms, both are under red oak trees on a north face. The name they are usually referred to here are Appalachian mountain leeks. Western Carolina University has done a lot of studies on them, I just don't know if they post that info online.
Hopefully one day you can taste "ramps and taters" for yourself, Thanks for the great videos.
I (Amy) watch sooo many canning videos 😂 it’ll be a lady in her kitchen peeling 3,000 apples or something, can’t get enough 😮💨
ps you are both so cute with your hobbies and stuff, foraging and baking. V inspiring and wholesome
luv you both ❤
Hahaha yes girl!! I’m hooked 😂 let me watch you pick 200 chillis and pull out 50 carrots. Thank you guys! Perhaps we can go foraging together this year ❤️ love you x
Acre Homestead is really good for cooking and canning. 😊
Yes I’ve been watching them 😍
@@DanniandJoe Have you come across Off Grid With Doug&Stacy, he can be a bit full on however it's worth just looking at Stacy's fermenting on there channel.
Hi both a lovely vlog plenty going on , Danni where do you work that you have to go back? Hopefully Joe will have boat ship shape by time you get backx😊
They looked amazing Joe! 😊😊😊😊
Thank you!
We are three years into van life and it was close between a van and a C Boat, van won and we are loving it. You two are a hoot. Keep the videos coming.
Amazing! We certainly miss having a van for Europe!
Fab video! Those cinammon twisty rolls looked fabulous. We love foraging too - though we've stuck to berries, nuts and fruit/veg/leaves so far. Need to get our fungi knowledge up to speed 😊 Have a great week guys ❤
Try the holler homestead,
I follow Acre Homestead, she got me excited about canning again! She’s in the USA, Oregon
Yes! I’ve been following her along! Love it
Those buns look amazing !
They were delicious 😋
Those buns looked very nice.
Thank you, they were very tasty!
Love the video as always. Clove oil is the only thing that really kills mould spores. It will smell like a dentists for a while.
The Lovely Bride just made some Orange Marmalade. Said it was too sweet for her, and she will have to tweak it.
I’ve canned Spaghetti Sauce, baked beans, stew beef in a burgundy wine sauce and separately, the veg in spring water, so that combined with a gravy mix, had stew (pretty good).
It’s something I enjoy doing.
Amazing! I (Danni) would love to get into canning one day
love a bit of drum and bass, chase n status, etc :)
We do!!
Clove oil guys…. I lived in the tropics in Australia it’s the only known product that kills the spores and turns it to dust ….less is more as it is potent
mix a small amount of clove oil - just a quarter of a teaspoon - with a litre of water in a spray bottle. Then spritz the solution onto the mould, leave it to work its magic for a minimum of 10 minutes (and up to a few hours), then use a wet cloth to wipe away the mould or you can actually leave a small container with pure oils or a make up pad with some drops and for a few days and if new growth starts the process should happen…..
Just don’t put pure on any surfaces…and it’s eco , no chemicals 🙌🙌which I thought u would like 😀
Thanks for that will save it for when it comes back!
Always enjoy your videos ❤
Great foraging tips! Great dough Joe!!!! Good video! Enjoyed the culinary bits! Well done guys! Onwards and northwards!
Just for you Dunc 😘
Like a really good book I look forward to each and every instalment! I’ve enjoyed all of your shenanigans from your first video. I’ve enjoyed them all but particularly this latest canal adventure. I don’t live there now but until my adolescence I lived near Rickmansworth and spent many a summers day at or around Batchworth Lock. (Btw There’s a Tescos right on the canal there)
So I’m keeping fingers crossed that you might go through 😊. Many thanks for your videos …..you’ve become like old friends 😂 regards Richard
Is it not customary to chuck the trolley in the canal when you are done in London? 😜 joking aside that’s really handy having a supermarket right on the canal!
Loving the drum and bass ... Keep it coming 😊
Favourite genre for sure!!
Great video as always guys 👌. We love watching your antics every week. Take care 💕 xxxx
Thank you so much!
I got into canning after being inspired by Simple Living Alaska on TH-cam. For safe excellent straight forward recipes for a newbie then 'Carol - thrifty chic housewife' is my go too, the baked beans recipe is better than anything store bought. Love you're channel ❤
We love Simple Living Alaska! Will check out the other channel thank you!
The Elliott Homestead. Great pantry ❤
Just subscribed thank you!
Simple Living Alaska they do an amazing amount of canning using jars. Look back on some of their recent ones.
Yes we have been watching them!
Just a tip for you too if you get chlorine crystals like for the lazy spa from B&Q or somewhere like that to spoonful edition to drop a Wall or will kill mould permanently. It smells a bit like a swimming pool, but it goes away quite quickly and you haven’t got the trouble of mould. The spores from the mould can cause respiratory problems.
Thanks for that! Yeah I’ve got a feeling it’s been keeping this cough lingering

Hi! Connie from Pennsylvania, US. I always look forward to your videos. You make me smile 😊. Danni, do you mind telling us what you do when you are working?
Thank you for watching! I work as a mental health nurse ☺️
I’ve just found your channel and I’m throughly enjoying going back and watching your old videos!
Danni if you’re into canning watch three rivers homestead, seed and sparrow homestead, the holler homestead and little mountain ranch. I’m in Australia but they’re all American and Canadian channels that predominantly focus on canning and cooking with the food they can.
Thank you so much! I will definitely check these out now 😍
Lovely buns! I have been canning on our boat for many years. It's a great way of saving money-buy stuff when it's cheap or forage it. Also great for keeping food without a fridge. I recommend Simple Living Alaska, The Hollar Homestead, The seasonal homestead and Little Mountain Ranch. All from the USA but fascinating. My favourite is Simple Living Alaska- great content. I can fruits, veg, soups, meat, fish, ready meals like spag bol, pickles, chutneys etc. Got enough of the 19p bags of veg at Christmas to cn enough soup for the year at a really cheap cost!
Amazing! I would love to on the boat but I’m worried about the lack of space we have. I’ll stick to ferments and pickles aboard I reckon. I absolutely love Simple Living Alaska! They are part of the rabbit hole I fell down haha. Will check the others out thank you ☺️
t@@DanniandJoe I live on a 40 foot sailing boat and still manage to store vast quantities of bottled foods!
Elastic band will keep the wee handles closed together happens in my bathroom
We have been using a hair band ☺️
In Windsor the water is very fast. No floods but the water is very fast. My boat is the blue roof one on your left pointing the wrong way 😂.
Yeah it seems to be calming down now! Went past Runnymede in my friends van & seen all the cars parked up stuck!
Loved the video guy's. ❤
Thank you!
If all else fails blame the Mrs, those buns look very nice, i could almost smell them ,keep up the good work, 😁👍
😂😂 cheers!
Check out off grid with Doug and Stacy the best
Just subscribed! Thank you
Cuso tag on every bridge, lock & wall on the Lea, Stort & GU until Kings Langley. He is one busy boat graffiti guy. You know you have left London when you stop seeing his tag lol
Seen several of his tags! Love it
❤🎉❤🎉 0:55
Great vlog love the natural banter. Brilliant. Keep it going. Best wishes❤
Thank you for watching!
oh and I am not on commission 😊
Evening gutted I might miss you guys I’m up near malt shovel pub near Cowley next Sunday I would’ve walk down say hi
Aw we are around the area you may see us ☺️
Awesome 🤟😵💫💋
Thank you!
I watch a few different canal boat channels, and is it just me, or does it seem that every week there are more and more boats on the canals? Even just 6 months ago it seemed like there were far fewer boats. Entertaining video as always with you two. Good luck on your DIY Joe!
It’s definitely gotten busier. Lots of new boats being built with very few getting taken off the canals (like Lady Penny Bun). Being in London definitely doesn’t help with that either!
Hi Danni i watch Lumnah acres and alans wife Gina does make a lot of different foods
Another couple is Sow the Land
And also Holler Homestead
Project Portugal a cornish couple regularly do cook meals and pass on recipies
Just followed them! Thank you ☺️
What’s wrong with Salnsburys ?
Nothing is wrong we just think it’s quite expensive but not on par with Waitrose ☺️
I have to agree I do too. I go in with a shopping list and come out and I'm always shocked how expensive it is...
Xx
❤️
Don’t know if you follow @Acre Homestead she does a load of canning, mostly from crops she grows
Yes I’ve been watching them! Thank you ☺️
Whole week of Dani not breaking anything 😂
😂😂
Hi Guys; love the vid. One thing that intrigues me! What do you do with your grey water?
Much to our surprise when we bought the boat it goes straight into the canals. That’s why we make sure we use eco products!
Great video!! Your backing skills are great. Thats also a hobby of mine. Do you have your own sourdough? One day maybe we will meet you are on the same level as me. We have alot in commen. Take care. Steve from Germany.
Thank you for watching! Yes we have a sourdough starter, probably close to a 6 months old now maybe a little longer
Aren't you supposed to drop the trolley into the canal 🤔
That’s normally what happens, right?! 😂
Me greenFord just saying
Hope you apologised to JESSOPS for your mistake
Do you guys drink the water straight out the tap or put it through a filter first? If so what filter?
We have a filtration system for our water in the kitchen ☺️
Watch simple living Alaska they can everything
Yes!! They’ve been in the rabbit hole I’ve fallen in to. I love them 😍
I've heard a few people talk about the dangers of the Southall/Hayes area! Me and my partner are new to boating and are currently in West Drayton, moving east into London. We're doing our boat up and not currently living on board, should we be worried about leaving her overnight once we get past West Drayton? It seems pretty nice where we're moored currently.
Hey, yeah we’ve recently moved north from a week in West Drayton & felt fine there! Personally the next stop heading east would be past High Line Yachting Northolt, we stayed a bit further on by Greenford Quay, as you come through on the right hand side you’ll see some boats moored on some fairly newly installed rings, we stayed there on a few occasions now & it’s walking distance to a Lidl & M&S etc (there’s also a water tap just before this on the right outside an abandoned pub), after that Horsenden is great, we found Alperton okay as well, the new bins by Harlesden we’ve stayed there too that’s fine, as long as there’s other boats around you should be fine really, then from probably the Sainsbury’s at Kensal Green it’ll start getting busier and more likely double mooring etc but we got lucky a few times and found spaces by maida hill, Westbourne Park area, spent a lot of time there with no trouble! Give us a shout if you want any more tips in detail! danniandjoetravel@gmail.com
@@DanniandJoe hello! Thank you so much for this amazing and detailed advice!! That’s really good to know about Northolt, we will definitely head there next. And it’s helpful to know there are more good spots immediately after that! We’re in a 10ft widebeam so won’t be able to do any double mooring so fingers crossed we get lucky once it’s starts getting busier as we get more central. Thank you so much again!! Best of luck with your journey north!
:)
