Floating Our Boat I am new to TH-cam and your vlog. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning about your narrow boat life. I am keeping a positive outlook and feel very blessed. The vlog today gave me a couple of good chuckles. Take care. So glad I found you guys.
Good to see you guys. Burst out laughing with the screeching halt of Rich "not" missing the pubs!🤣🤣 You have a good mantra for these times. It is what it is!! Take care!
Well thanks for the invite into your home. A nice fire side chat all be it one way. I had a nice cup of tea and a cookie while you were talking. Loved your alarm clock........... Weather here has not warmed up as well as yours has. I still have a bit of snow..........so....I guess I can still throw snow balls. Some rain in the forecast so I am hoping that the rest of the snow will go. Stay safe you "4".
He's just enthusiastic Rich 😂 dude? too funny, God you made me laugh my son has the same problem outside his window ONLY appearing when he has to be up early for work starting at round 4am in tree right next to his windows or when he's worked late😁
Lovely attitude about life "It is what it is". I've been using that mantra more and more the last few years. Started about 2 years ago when I went through a really bad patch and carried it with me since then. Makes life so much better having a more positive outlook. Wish I had learned it a bit earlier in life. So close to catching up to current with your videos. So glad Rich made it through his bout with covid19/coronavirus and you didn't get it or get it too badly.
Well almost a year has passed and it still "Is what it Is". Not sure any of us would have guessed that the whole "C" mess would still be around. One thing getting me through all this (and more) is that you two still "Are who you Are" and by taking the time to share you travels and day to lives, have really helped this viewer. Bless you both and fair locks......
Did the fan belt slip, when Fran said we don’t miss pubs 🤣🤣🤣....you guys looking well.....there’s still too many people not respecting live in boaters on tow paths....what a beautiful place to moor....stay safe guys....Regards Mick
You might think your vlogs are ordinary and boring but we think they’re interesting and love your humour. What a lark! 🤣🤣Keep going! Thanks 😊 Linda & Rob from Adelaide South Australia
If you have to be stuck on 20 odd miles of canal for the whole of summer, I couldn't think of a better place to be. If you can't get off, no-one else can get on - what a blissful thought :)
Looks a nice place to be staying, hope for you, it's not all summer. Good to see the sander out, Rich..... Finally. 👍 keep smiling. You both brighten my week. Ade
Fabulous vlog again. Great to see you both again and Archie and little Jess. Little Jess kept appearing between you under the table with her sparkly eyes. The Middlewood Way, one of my favourite places to walk in summer. Have fun. 😎
Hi malcolm.nwe didn't realise she was there until we watched the video and now that is all we can see. She's was once called the silent assassin by one of our friends because you can't see her in the dark except for her beady eyes.
pubs and pies didn't realise I missed them till you mentioned it but living in France it's something you have to live with so it will be another glass of rose, great to see you two looking well and happy, stay safe stay well
Great vlog guys - we laughed out loud when Fran said you don’t miss the pubs 😂😂 the screeching to a halt was brilliant 😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂🍻🍻🍻 here’s to next time we get to go for a pint together and we will remind you of your crazy comment 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
She's deluded eh? I got a new number will send so you can add me xxxx

Hi Richard and Fran 😊 thanks for sharing this video update 🤔 mmm mowbray pork pie 🤔🤔 beautiful 👍 say safe and say well oh and they say 👍🍺🍷 cheers 😁 and we are ready to roll out too 🚌🚌🚌👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Glad to see you both looking well again ,we were worried about Rich,he looked so I'll,it must be hell stuck in such a beautiful place,just take it easy and enjoy.Phil and Lorraine.
Hi Rich Fran Enjoyed the video as you say it's what it is Pie &Mash lovely as I was brought up in South London know what you mean Fran yum yum You both stay safe looking forward to seeing the next video
Hi Rich & Fran Just to let you know there is a Pie,Mash & Liquer Appreciation Society, Keep Smiling I can see this lockdown lasting a few weeks yet. Cheers
With all the crazies in the world (some of them in charge), it's nice to have a civilized visit with rational people. Thank you and don't fret about content, you're both very entertaining. 👍👍😁😎
I am quietly following you through the scenes of my childhood and earlier life... decades ago now and all so different from those far off days. Now I am not even in the UK. So thank you. Oh I have not forgotten re the Chester story.... bear with me? lol..trying to plant as many food crops as I can this year. . And yes a strange world now. but reminds me of days gone by too.
Hi Fran & Rich! Glad to "see" you both again. I laughed at the editing about the pubs! I feel you Rich 😉 And that bloody bird at 530a! ... Fran, I love your weavings on Etsy ❤ Take care. - Eric in Illlinois, USA
Hi guys, I watch all of your Vlogs but never comment. You're lucky to hear a Song Thrush, they are on the RSPB red list so make the most of it. Send Rich on his bike to the bakers, he can have a crafty meat pie on the way back 😋
Hello Fran and Rich, greetings from Brisbane Australia! In the summer, sun rise is after 4am here and the parrots, crows etc. start their loud calls! Funny thing after 30,years I mostly sleep thru it. There is a bird also like a nightingale and it can sing very loud all night long! I think it sounds louder in a boat or a caravan, brick walls reduce the sound. Great to see you both well and enjoying the sun.
Enjoy your vlog from here, Indiana, in the early 19th century Indiana and Ohio had several hundred miles of canals, then the railroads did away with them - sure wish our canals had been maintained like those in the U.K. Keep making your videos, they are wonderful. Hope the house sale can be finalized.
Can’t wait to add a ‘pootlin’ mug to my kitchen collection. I’ll feel much less landlocked and forlorn (no canals in Texas) with a cup of tea and toast in the mornings from one of my lovely new narrowboat friends.
Love that look in Rich's eyes Fran as you said you don't miss the pubs much, brilliant 🤣🤣 Bollington does look like a beautiful area to be stuck. Oh yeah I think that bird would definitely get on my nerves every morning. Looking forward to the next one. Stay safe and healthy.
Hi you two. I love what you are doing, and always hoped one day to visit the 'old country' some day and do exactly what you are doing. I love the history still preserved there. I live in N.Z. Our history is quite new here by comparison.My ancestors arrived here about 1200 years ago and not much evidence remains. I hope you take the camera to the pub when it opens.
I have been watching you two from my home in Victoria, BC Canada. Originally from North West London. Just thoroughly enjoy your videos. They brighten my lockdown days. Thank you so much.
Hello x just subscribed wow just wot I needed to wotch to let my head relax how gorgeous is your bardge love u guys 🙏 thank you for vlog stay safe big hug 🤗 xxx
I Hope the house sale goes through ok with no further delay .Ah steak and kidney pie with a nice suet crust Another lovely homely vlog I feel you're like nice neighbours now you certainly helped make this lock down tolerable. Good luck,stay safe stay well from Canada.
My better half (an Aussie) LOVES birds. They remind her of times past down under. We currently own a couple of love birds that will not shut up. Ever. (Unless we cover them). Admittedly, they do make a lovely sound, and fortunately we are early risers. Still a little courtesy wouldn’t kill them, would it? Perhaps our cat will someday... Thanks very much for your videos. Lockdown videos (from all of the narrowboat vloggers) these days seem to have a more intimate vibe to them, like friends stopping by to say hello. Really enjoying them all. (Just between you and me, yours are the best). Hoping next week is special for you! Thoughts & Prayers from New England!
We've been to Oz a couple of times, NSW, and have exprienced Kookaburra's, etc. at their noisiest. We would love to visit New England. Rich wants to RV there one day. Thanks for your lovely comment we are just trying to show our life as it is now without trying too hard :) Love Fran and Rich
We lost the sale of our house the day Boris announced we had to stay at home. Hope your sale goes through ok. 🤞 We are hoping, probably too optimistically, that the buyer will come back when this is over. Love your vlogs. 😊
Oh that is tough. We have been waiting for a phone call to say our buyer has pulled out but ok so far! I hope your buyer comes back or you find another soon.nit is all very worrying xx
Yes I agree there are No nice veggie pies, anywhere ,I think they just meant to be meat pies,..eeek😫for vegetarians. Gosh u had a beautiful blue sky day cruising along,..yeah that bird really had heaps to sing about,no alarm setting when that birds around..thanks for sharing🙋♀️
A cheery vlog, so welcome these days - had genuine laughter throughout, something I’ve not had in recent weeks. Good luck to you both.....and thanks of course.
Peoples pet hate phrases are always fun. I was supposed to move flat about 6 days after we went into lockdown, so I have every sympathy for what is going on with your house sale. Fingers crossed it goes well when it can start moving forward again. Next time someone says "It is what it is" I will end up laughing and no one will understand why. Such fun!
Your videos are great. It is what it is (sorry Rich, I couldn't help it) Glad to see Rich looking so much better and see that you are both keeping safe. Take care nige
Oh, thanks for the update. It was fun just to cruise that short way. I, too, think it's nice of you to help us pass the time during this forced imprisonment. lol...……..Can't wait to see the boatroof finished. When I lived in England my husband and I used to walk on the Milton Keynes tow path near Campbell Park. Lovely time to feed the water birds. Thanks for your time, Merry Ann
That bird! We have a lovely woodpecker that bangs on the road sign on the edge of our lot starting at about 5-5:30 am every day. He's been doing it for years every spring.
when I was working in the bank, and we found ourselves with a great pile of solids about to hit the air conditioning, “we are where we are” was the phrase you heard over and over again...! You appear to have found yourselves in a glorious spot....hopefully for not too long. Keep posting the vlogs and reminding us what a narrowboat looks like. I loved the dog’s head peeping out at you from under the table....really made me chuckle. Stay safe...Steve and Sue..🍷🍷
Just discovered your channel. I'm thoroughly enjoying your videography, music, banter, humor, and honest coverage of the narrowboating life. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your experiences! Glad that you are in good health again, Rich.
I know what I’d rather listen to other than a motorway every night, the radio channels play the same songs, birdsong you can’t beat it. Keep up the good work Rich and Fran these vlogs are keeping me sane. 👍👍
I thought your video was very entertaining especially when Rich said the song thrush was a great alarm clock, only if you need to be woken at 5am! It’s great to see you’re both still in good spirits and I have my fingers crossed for a successful completion on your house sale and very soon. Thanks for keeping us up to date while you’re in lockdown.
Really pleased to see you've recovered well Rich, What a lovely place to be stuck. Was going to do the Macclesfield Canal and the Peak Forest Canal myself this year. Never mind it's nice enough on my mooring on the Birmingham/Worcester Canal near Tardebigge. Keep safe both xx
Hi Fran and Rich, I must admit you are getting some of that nice weather from our summer in NZ. I am still looking forward to getting there and meeting Ruth my girl friend, and start looking for a Narrow boat that are predicted to be more forced sales for some. according to a dealer I spoke to by phone. Blessings and enjoy your stay where you are. John ...NZ
Hi Guys, ice to see you both, very interested in seeing a blog on painting the roof of your NB and the preparation etc. Oh yeh, local bakers, we have one here , lady on her own and her cakes and bread are great. If it wasn't for lock down we wouldn't have found out how good they are.
You guys are doing great your content is always interesting! I so look forward to all your vidios thank you so much! This virus has caused a lot of interesting changes in all our lives no matter where we live I think some of the changes will be permanent for some of us and they are for the better anyway thanks again for your efforts with your vidios please keep them coming!!
I stopped watching you guys when you got married, just got out of the habit. Great to find you again! Seriously considered following suit and retiring to a canal boat in England after becoming hooked on your videos.
I need to stop wearing the same shirt on our vlog thumbnails :)
Off to the charity shops when they open for some nice M&S shirts, cheap as chips, re-cycling and good for the charity too.
If you don't watch out, it could be come a thing....

Floating Our Boat I am new to TH-cam and your vlog. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning about your narrow boat life. I am keeping a positive outlook and feel very blessed. The vlog today gave me a couple of good chuckles. Take care. So glad I found you guys.
About the shirt,Rich............’It is what it is’........if you are comfortable wearing it,what’s the problem?
Get tucked up in bed and watch your video's so relaxing i envy you.
Sounds lovely
Good to see you guys. Burst out laughing with the screeching halt of Rich "not" missing the pubs!🤣🤣 You have a good mantra for these times. It is what it is!! Take care!
I thought I was going to get pushed off the boat then 😕
Just got up to this episode and laughed hysterically at the same thing. Poor Rich, I felt your pain!
Well thanks for the invite into your home. A nice fire side chat all be it one way. I had a nice cup of tea and a cookie while you were talking. Loved your alarm clock........... Weather here has not warmed up as well as yours has. I still have a bit of snow..........so....I guess I can still throw snow balls. Some rain in the forecast so I am hoping that the rest of the snow will go. Stay safe you "4".
Ah, we missed the snow this year. We are enjoying the early spring though.
@@FloatingOurBoat PS:......I have the same shirt.........
The birds! Great video.
Rich is looking so much better. The pie shop sounds good. Stay safe and post what you can. Thanks
I think we may have to do a pie shop video.
He's just enthusiastic Rich 😂 dude? too funny, God you made me laugh my son has the same problem outside his window ONLY appearing when he has to be up early for work starting at round 4am in tree right next to his windows or when he's worked late😁
That bird is hysterical! A great vlog as usual.
Absolutely my favourite people on TH-cam xx
Ah thank you so much Vanessa XX
Take care both,thanks again.🥟.

Wish I had learned it a bit earlier in life. So close to catching up to current with your videos. So glad Rich made it through his bout with covid19/coronavirus and you didn't get it or get it too badly.
It goes along with the other great mantra, change the things you can and accept the things you can't. Takes away a lot of life stress.
Thank You for sharing a part of your beautiful country. God Bless
We're glad you like it
Well almost a year has passed and it still "Is what it Is". Not sure any of us would have guessed that the whole "C" mess would still be around. One thing getting me through all this (and more) is that you two still "Are who you Are" and by taking the time to share you travels and day to lives, have really helped this viewer.

Thanks guys for keeping us entertained, hopefully it won't be much longer before you can start moving again. Cheers Alan x
Fingers crossed! Thanks Alan.

You have vineyards and cheese instead....a fair swap
Perhaps the critter making the noise thinks that YOU have moved into HIS neighborhood and wants YOU to move elsewhere. lol😉
He is absolutely right. We are the intruders!
Vobes has been advertising your mugs and channel every night this week. Keep well and safe.🍺
Hi Steve. We just realized this and now feel guilty. We watch him often but not every night and we missed some of these shows.
Constanze looks lovely, can see all your work. Here in Australia they have a "pie floater" its a meat pie sitting in pea soup..
Oooh, that sounds amazing.
@@FloatingOurBoat They're a cultural thing I only had once I had a lentil pie and it was great! I'm not a take away person.. 😊
Looking forward to bathroom remodel. 😁. Glad Rich didn't fall in again. This vlog was fun. Or maybe it is the two of you who are fun.
Thank you. It won't be do much fun when we do the bathroom remodel😂
Great vlog guys - we laughed out loud when Fran said you don’t miss the pubs 😂😂 the screeching to a halt was brilliant 😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂🍻🍻🍻 here’s to next time we get to go for a pint together and we will remind you of your crazy comment 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️

Enjoyed the video as you say it's what it is
Pie &Mash lovely as I was brought up in South London know what you mean Fran yum yum
You both stay safe looking forward to seeing the next video
Happy memories I hope
Ha -- that Thrush? sounded lovely. You should try a flock of cockatoos arguing at 5am.
That must be even louder.
Super Tweet. Good to see you both well.
Hi Rich & Fran Just to let you know there is a Pie,Mash & Liquer Appreciation Society, Keep Smiling I can see this lockdown lasting a few weeks yet. Cheers
Wow, didn't know that, thank you
Great video! Thanks for sharing. The Pub face was LOL funny....
Hi guys,brilliant video,awesome cruising along the canal,very lovely listening to the both of you,stay safe
Thank you
Another good vlog. Take the camera to town. I'd love to see the town and shops.
Great to see how you are coping with sheltering and still enjoying life. Thanks for the updates, stay safe, well and happy
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Very good yet again , it is what it is , you are where you are , another enjoyable watch 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
pleasant vidio xx
Great to see you both, the bird song made me laugh 🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️
Yes, it made us laugh at the beginning🙄
We are enjoying your channel. Glad to hear you are feeling better Steve after the virus. Patrick and Debbie in Christchurch New Zealand.
Thank you
With all the crazies in the world (some of them in charge), it's nice to have a civilized visit with rational people. Thank you and don't fret about content, you're both very entertaining. 👍👍😁😎
Never thought of ourselves as civilized and rational. Thank you so much.
🤣😂😁👍@@FloatingOurBoat
Very good to see you are recovered from your chest problem. Stay well. Xxx
"We don't miss pubs that much"...I laughed so hard at that bit! Great stuff.
I was obviously mistaken wasn't I?
Fran x
Looks like you actually lucked out with finding a mooring spot in the countryside. We really do enjoy the scenery you go by. Thank you for sharing
Sorry sometimes the countryside wakes up too early
Thank you for watching
I am quietly following you through the scenes of my childhood and earlier life... decades ago now and all so different from those far off days. Now I am not even in the UK. So thank you. Oh I have not forgotten re the Chester story.... bear with me? lol..trying to plant as many food crops as I can this year. . And yes a strange world now. but reminds me of days gone by too.
. We are so pleased we can take you on a trip down memory lane x
Hi Fran & Rich! Glad to "see" you both again. I laughed at the editing about the pubs! I feel you Rich 😉 And that bloody bird at 530a! ... Fran, I love your weavings on Etsy ❤ Take care. - Eric in Illlinois, USA
Thank you Eric
Hi guys, I watch all of your Vlogs but never comment. You're lucky to hear a Song Thrush, they are on the RSPB red list so make the most of it. Send Rich on his bike to the bakers, he can have a crafty meat pie on the way back 😋
There are a few birds here we don't even recognise the sound of. It must be a good area
Love listening to the Blackbirds singing early morning (dawn chorus) cant beat it
The blackbird definitely has the best song of all
Nice place to be stuck I hope you have a great summer keep those vlogs coming they cheer us up stay safe peace♥️🌈✌️🇮🇪
Thank you
Hello Fran and Rich, greetings from Brisbane Australia! In the summer, sun rise is after 4am here and the parrots, crows etc. start their loud calls! Funny thing after 30,years I mostly sleep thru it. There is a bird also like a nightingale and it can sing very loud all night long! I think it sounds louder in a boat or a caravan, brick walls reduce the sound. Great to see you both well and enjoying the sun.
Enjoy your vlog from here, Indiana, in the early 19th century Indiana and Ohio had several hundred miles of canals, then the railroads did away with them - sure wish our canals had been maintained like those in the U.K. Keep making your videos, they are wonderful. Hope the house sale can be finalized.
Thank you. It is a shame your canals were not restored.
Love Pie , mash and liquor! Great vlog as ever x
Thank you
Can’t wait to add a ‘pootlin’ mug to my kitchen collection. I’ll feel much less landlocked and forlorn (no canals in Texas) with a cup of tea and toast in the mornings from one of my lovely new narrowboat friends.
Ah, that's lovely. Thank you
I love watching you!😁
Oh thank you!
Love that look in Rich's eyes Fran as you said you don't miss the pubs much, brilliant 🤣🤣 Bollington does look like a beautiful area to be stuck. Oh yeah I think that bird would definitely get on my nerves every morning. Looking forward to the next one. Stay safe and healthy.
Hi you two. I love what you are doing, and always hoped one day to visit the 'old country' some day and do exactly what you are doing. I love the history still preserved there.
I live in N.Z. Our history is quite new here by comparison.My ancestors arrived here about 1200 years ago and not much evidence remains.
I hope you take the camera to the pub when it opens.
Thanks for keeping us sane and entertained guys!
Hopefully, one day things will be normal again, and we can all go out for a pie and a pint 🍻
Here here!
Brilliant guys loved it thanks 😁👍👏👏👏
Thank you
Good luck with the house and we hope you get warmer in your pond. We are still locked in in 🇪🇸.

Nothing so great about the repetitive coo-ing of Doves, though, ugh, I'm sick of them.
We love you guys! Your cheerful resignation encourages us so much.
Please refer us to recipes for pies!
Thank you. I'm no great chef really although I do make leek and mushroom pie. We will pay the pie shop a visit I think.

It’s great to see you’re both still in good spirits and I have my fingers crossed for a successful completion on your house sale and very soon. Thanks for keeping us up to date while you’re in lockdown.
Thank you Sylvia. We don't really mind the alarm call, but he really doesn't stop all day long with the same bloomin' song!
Great video guys
Thank you
Love your vlogs and enjoy them all.Hope your house sale goes through soon and you get your painting done x
Like watching your video, I will pray that the sale of your house goes thought soon. We also miss eating out here on Vancouver Island.
Thank you Peter

I am still looking forward to getting there and meeting Ruth my girl friend, and start looking for a Narrow boat that are predicted to be more forced sales for some. according to a dealer I spoke to by phone. Blessings and enjoy your stay where you are. John ...NZ
Thank you. Good luck with finding your boat
Hi Guys, ice to see you both, very interested in seeing a blog on painting the roof of your NB and the preparation etc. Oh yeh, local bakers, we have one here , lady on her own and her cakes and bread are great. If it wasn't for lock down we wouldn't have found out how good they are.
Hopefully slot if people will appreciate their local shops s little more after this
