Such a beautiful ❤boat I love all the unique character of ur home so much. 😊 I would love living in that beautiful home boat. I love the rose in the shower it gives it character you should keep it and definitely keep the pictures on the ceiling. With all the TLC you can make it more beautiful. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! 🎉
We have just re-uploaded this video so its now in HD :D Finally figured out how to do it! Thanks to everyone who liked and commented on the first upload of this video last night, this will be much better now though! Ben and Emily :) x
Secret Squirrel’s 🐿 garden tips - When your plants bolt to seed like you mentioned. When you notice it just pinch or prune off the stem with the seeds/flowers. This will stop the plant putting all of its energy into producing seed and hopefully produce leaves again. If it’s already flowered and gone to seed, I usually collect the seed and store it for the next season. If I’ve had one really great plant, one that has produced a lot of leaves or whatever, I’ll try to collect the seed from that particular plant to save for the next growing season 🙂🐿🌈❤️
Hello from Texas, USA. Enjoy watching your ventures on the canals. Retired and like to relax watching several of the canal narrowboat vlogs. Just started with yours and enjoying. Keep up the good entertainment.
What a lovely boat one of the best I have seen a bit Rosy and Jim. Loved the self ejecting garlic bread. Very impressed with the recycled pallet and wardrobe work. I have watched all your back issues and looking forward to the next.
I’ve been living on my 42’ Trad style narrowboat for 23 years and I’m so envious of your space!!…😃…. I would love a decent galley and saloon area but I’m too old and skint now to change anything… thank you for allowing us to visit your home… 😊
What a beautiful ship. You have decorated it very tastefully. It really is an environment where you can feel at home. I certainly feel at home and hope to follow you on your TH-cam channel for a long time to come. Greetings from a Dutch boat owner, Marco
What a beautiful home you have folks. Looks comfy and with everything you need for a happy content life and I love it. Yes I'm sure it's hard work specially in the darker months but still it's gorgeous. Emily if you cut the bolted seed heads off the chard they will recover from the crown's with some TLC. Chard just loves growing the same as does leaf beet and spinach, goes on for ages. The tomatoes look like bush tomatoes and lovely and healthy you are doing so well. Thank you for the video. xxx
Brilliant! Thanks so much for the tips! We went away for for a few days and unfortunately the chard has dried out a bit. Lots of TLC is needed now :D I can't believe how many toms the little plants are growing! Good job they are just little cherry tomatoes :) So glad you enjoyed the boat tour, thanks again! Xx
Hello You Three - greetings from Poland Thanks so much for showing me round your lovely home. I guess it's really snug and warm in the winter. Can you keep it cool in the summer time? Stay safe please and look after each other.
You two are lovely .Thank you so much for the tour and for Ben for his use of pallets (man after my own heart). Your home is just that, not a gin-place, but somewhere you will enjoy. I am enjoying your journey.
Lovely cosy narrow boat ,love it ,Had to laugh when the bread went flying ,Happy travelling ,i did it for 6 weeks ,enjoyed every moment ,Just needs paint as you say ,lovely home ,
A lovely couple and the inside of the boat is practical and comfy and suits your personality. Yes , the outside needs a lot of attention and I recommend you do not leave it too long. I look forward to continuing to follow your journey.
HI BENNY & Emily you both are so so special & your boat is so so special & your lovely cat is so lovely to for now I hope you all stay safe on the water god bless you all from tom & grace moore corby northants god bless you all xxx👍
Just love you guys so down to earth.This video reminds me of a time along ago when most boaters made do with any materials they had to .hand to create creature comforts . How times have changed with all these expensive paint jobs and all the expensive fit outs with every conceivable luxury that you can think of.
Hiya thanks so much, yes this is how we've chosen to modify the boat, coming from a past of van living and generally off grid life. Boating does seem to be getting more expensive, but luckily there are many lonely pallets out there waiting to become furniture...😆
Lovely vlog nice to see a nice down to earth couple and a proper nice boat instead of someone showing off their £100,000 plus boat good luck for future subbed.
Thanks for showing us around, love the boat and all the bits of furniture you’ve made. Thanks also for the story of Alan, I also love Alan Rickman 👍 hope you had a lovely birthday Emily. Oh yeah,the garlic bread out the window was a classic,laughed out loud and got moaned at by my wife 😂
Hysterical. I started watching you 3 a few weeks ago. I heard mention of the garlic bread,but had no idea how fun that would be. " for 3 seconds I thought about retrieval " bahaha. 😂😂
I came across you guys at around episode 16-17, and I've put off going back to the beginning because I wanted to have something to watch on my dark days to add a little light. The fact that I am here watching from the beginning will tell you how things are going in my world at the moment. I smiled right from the first episode as it was as brilliant as every other episode. You have a very lovely, functional life pod from stem to stern. Don't want to be weird here, but I love you guys, happy journey's in Portugal. Oops! You don't know you're going to Portugal yet, hope I didn't spoil the surprise. :)
Another fab video. Belated happy birthday Emily - I meant to message you. The pizza looked fab, the garlic bread flinging was hilarious - wonder if they should make it an Olympic sport. I love the inside of your boat - so creative and so cosy and pretty. Benny sure is talented. Looking forward to the next episode xxx
Love the wood and splashes of colour, works really well and very cosy 🥰 love the ceiling art! Noooooo not the garlic bread 😂😂😂 Hope you had a lovely birthday Emily!
Great video! Most boat tour videos look like the boat is brand new from the builders. They also tend to look like you shouldn't touch/use the furniture or anything. Yours looks like what it is - a HOME!
It’s a lovely boat guys. So bright , Splashed with colour and bits & pieces of what u like. Love the ceiling pictures. It’s gorgeous! Thanks for showing us and for sharing all your fab adventures with us. It’s a pleasure to watch.Alan is such a lovely cat. 🐈⬛❤ much love lisa xx
Loving the channel and upfront approach to life in general. I have never been on a NB but somehow always find myself coming back to these types of channels. Love the Berkey, we have the very same one in our kitchen and never drink tap water unless it has gone through the filers first. You guys have already done quite a lot and I will be watching with interest to see how you progress. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.......
Thank you, so happy you are enjoying our channel! :) Yes there are always plenty of jobs to do on the boat!...never ending :D The Berkey is brilliant, so glad we have it. Thanks again!
Really enjoyed snooping round your home, it's very cosy & exactly as I'd expect it to be. I loved Alan Rickman too, what a nice tribute naming Alan after him. We had a black tom kitten years ago, were assured he was a boy so called him George & going for her first vaccination the vet kissed him on the nose & said what a pretty little girl she was 😸. She was forever Georgie after that. Haha, that bread!!!! 😁
Thank you for showing us around your home. It's lovely with all it's nooks and crannies. I nearly choked on my cuppa when that garlic bread suddenly flew out of the window 🤣
Hi guys, i've just found your channel, and i'm loving it, i love to go back and see all the videos, from the begining when i find a nice channel. That garlic bread made me laugh so much, watching this on xmas morning while my husband is sick and we are on the verge of taking the step to get a barge, i'm looking for all information, tricks, problems, design ideas for our own, and channels like yours, "the Indie projects" (in the past also had a lovely barge), "the mindfull narrowboat" love her poetry tours, "May" just entered to her raffle ticket to get her boat (not a lucky gambler girl) and "Robbie Cumming" have made me fall in love with this life style since 5 years ago when i moved from Portugal to your country. Thank you soo much and Merry Xmas.
New to the channel - great video - you've done what many people would love to and move onto the water. Looking forward to the story and adventure going forwards!
Thank you for the tour it’s a beautiful boat and you’ve given me lots of ideas. Hope you had a lovely birthday 😊 p.s. the bread slinging was hilarious, I laughed out loud and made my dog bark 😂
Hi. I`ve just discovered your channel and am watching your videos in order .I find them so interesting as you give a great insight into what seems a fascinating way of life and presented in such a nice natural way. Nothing seems to phase you when problems arise with the boat and you just carry on sorting things out in a nice relaxed way. Long may you continue.
We love your boat! It is so beautifully decorated! Bens woodwork skills are fab! I love that things have a dual purpose and how you make the most of your space. Sorry you lost your garlic bread, but hope you enjoyed your pizza. Alan is a beautiful cat. Give him a cwtch from us( that's a 50% more than a hug from Wales!!). Thanks both for showing us around your lovely home.😊
Back in the 80's we used gas bottles like that and we had a double regulator which ment you could connect 2 gas bottles at the same time - this double adaptor had a special feature in which when the first bottle ran out it would automatically switch over to the other full bottle - I don't know if you can still buy them but if you can I would highly recommend!
Love your narrowboat. Was following ‘Cruising the Cut’ and magically your channel popped up and I subscribed. I know about the TH-cam algorithms so hopefully you’ll get more comments and lots of likes. Cheers from Cape Town, Andrew & Lynna.
Hello Andrew and Lynna 😊 So happy you found us and thank you so much for subscribing! Can't believe we have viewers from so far away! 😀 All the best from Ben, Emily and Alan.
Such a helpful video.. I’m contemplating boat life so it’s really great to see how you’ve used the minimal space to maximally .. it looks so light, airy and yet very cosy and welcoming. That pizza also looked delicious and well, the ‘Garlic bread moment’ was hilarious.. thanks so much 💛
What a lovely cosy home you have :) I love what you’ve done with it. And the projectile garlic bread was hilarious :)) Oh, and a belated happy birthday Emily :)
Lovely to see your beautiful boat, really impressed. Great job. Back to all red will be nice. I have a high top VW T4 which is the same red as your boat, and I think it's a great colour 👍🙂
Thanks I enjoyed the tour it got me through some of my ironing 😆 my house is up for sale and my plan is to live on a narrowboat so it’s always encouraging to see people enjoying their tiny home. Having to let go of lots of stuff in the meantime … physically and metaphorically. But I’m very much attracted to life on water among nature living simply with less “stuff”. This is the first video I’ve watched of yours. What canal are you usually on? I’m by the grand union in berkhamsted though I’m looking forward to exploring the canal network once I have my new floating home. Love your dry sense of humour 😄
Hiya thanks for watching! We are on the Trent and Mersey at the moment heading southward.. Yes it was a big chance for us moving out of our house and downsizing, in fact we still have storage up north...! Good luck with it all 😊
What a lovely little boat you have there. Wishing you a very happy belated happy birthday Emily. Thank you for explaining why your kitty is named Alan, it was a bit confusing. There is a channel called Oli Vella Narrowboat. Oli has a rusty narrowboat shell and he shows you the best and easiest way to get rid of the rust and do a 2 pack epoxy paint prep job. Well worth a look. Cheers
We’re new to this boating business but watching you you were sold!!!! Also had a cat rescued from Coombe Abbey in Warwickshire I called “her” Abbie as she had been rescued from an Abbey took “ her” to the vet for surgery ( had been shot which a pellet gun 😞) turned out “ she” was a bloke still called him Abbie though and was always known as Abbie was my best baby for 15 years Your pizza looked delicious Happy Birthday darling we are thoroughly inspired xx
Hi guys, I've just found your channel and I must say it's so good. You are both great on camera. I've been watching people making campervans for the past year or so and I'm just about completing my own, but I can see on here what my next project might well be, it looks like great fun, long may you both continue entertaining us, see u soon, Jack
I'd think I would make a new reply since I don't remember much and we left the boat safe after. Maybe let's see if mom remembers her or maybe my my mom and dad and him together.
Many thanks for the tour. This is exactly the layout I'm looking for, and a happy, happy Birthday Emily.... Enjoy PizzaFrenzy (happyface) with depleted garlic bread (sad, but still laughing face)!
You have a beautiful boat and a beautiful lifestyle! Its some someday I hope to do the same, we holiday on the Lancaster canal but owning our own boat is something we would love to be able to achieve some day. All the best for the future!
Thank you so much! 😊We would love to do the Lancaster at some point. Just a bit worried about the ribble link! Really hope you get your boat soon, its lovely when you can make it your own inside 🙂All the best you you too, Ben and Emily
Great vlog guys, love the fit out, and you are both talented so the skies the limit going forward! Get yourselves a bottle of Fertan and apply it any exterior rust, it will kill it dead and save you a load of dosh. Looking forward to the next episode. Love to Alan, she's a star x
Hi Mark 😊 Thanks so much for the lovely comment and the tips! I used fertan last year on the roof, it is great, but was thinking of using vactan this time as you don't need to wash it off afterwards...do you know if that is any good? Thanks again!....Alan sends her love x
What a great living space you have, it’s lovely, I could easily live there in peace, thanks for sharing your home with us, love to know more about your van too
What a lovely boat. The art on the ceiling is lovely. I would say put a few storage boxes on the shelving in bedroom to house your clothes, rattan would look nice. Hilarious 😂 seeing that garlic bread fly out of window. Hope your birthday was a good one. Alan is a beautiful chilled out cat. So the name suits her. ❤
Hey Sheila, that's a good tip, its does get a bit messy up there! Yes that garlic bread was in a rush to escape 😆 Thanks so much, and yes Alan is a special cat indeed ♥️
I laughed out loud when you threw the bread out the window. Your boat is really light and bright inside. I like it.
😆 Thanks Carole! Glad you enjoyed it :) x
I actually love all the painted art in your narrowboat - it gives your living space so much character
It's nice to see harmony between a couple, a cat, a boat...and the surroundings.
Not BREAD though ~ garlic bread has rights and feelings too you know!
Very true! 😄
Such a beautiful ❤boat I love all the unique character of ur home so much. 😊 I would love living in that beautiful home boat. I love the rose in the shower it gives it character you should keep it and definitely keep the pictures on the ceiling. With all the TLC you can make it more beautiful. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! 🎉

Good call to make it private to preserve the stats for the algorithm, I think 👍
@@Daytona2 Ah yes, we weren't too sure what to do with it! I think we've deleted it now though..
As one may figure out, I watch episodes over, again, and I love the bright, cherry decor, the light and the things Ben built!! Love it, allj.

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks so much for watching. That garlic made a bid for freedom, and got away. Wonder where it settled down in the end...

I have enjoyed watching a few of your episodes. I laughed out loud when the bread flew out the window. Funny
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love you fellas so much. If I need cheering I simply watch you❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏

You have a lovely home, so many nice touches. - dinner out the window was hilarious
Hello You Three - greetings from Poland
Thanks so much for showing me round your lovely home. I guess it's really snug and warm in the winter. Can you keep it cool in the summer time? Stay safe please and look after each other.
Hiya, it is warm in winter for us, but in summer whilst it's hot, we try and find shade as it can get rather hot!
Thanks for posting and sharing. Very interesting to see your tour.
You two are lovely .Thank you so much for the tour and for Ben for his use of pallets (man after my own heart). Your home is just that, not a gin-place, but somewhere you will enjoy. I am enjoying your journey.

It’s a lovely boat! It’s has you’re personalities all over it. I’m moving on the cut pretty soon and you are my kind of people x
Happy Belated Birthday!
You had me belly laughing out loud with the bread 🤣🤣🤣 I mean it was fantastic!!! Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Flying garlic bread? Comedy gold! I love all your decorations, such a lovely home 😍
Hahaha! Thanks so much! 😊
Lovely vlog nice to see a nice down to earth couple and a proper nice boat instead of someone showing off their £100,000 plus boat good luck for future subbed.
Cheers Tony, we are just doing it the way we know and like 😊 And I can't resist a good pallet haha 😆
@@BenandEmily Neither can I neighbours tend to drop me some in front garden, One session with circular saw kindling for our log burner, stay safe,
Happy belated birthday 🎂 🥳

Great video! Most boat tour videos look like the boat is brand new from the builders. They also tend to look like you shouldn't touch/use the furniture or anything. Yours looks like what it is - a HOME!

Hello! Aww poor Abbie being shot! Poor kitty! Great name 😻 Alan says hi 👋 Thanks so much for watching 🌟
What a lovely home 😊😊😊
Its beautiful. X
Hi guys, I've just found your channel and I must say it's so good. You are both great on camera. I've been watching people making campervans for the past year or so and I'm just about completing my own, but I can see on here what my next project might well be, it looks like great fun, long may you both continue entertaining us, see u soon,
Jack
I'd think I would make a new reply since I don't remember much and we left the boat safe after. Maybe let's see if mom remembers her or maybe my my mom and dad and him together.
such a lovely couple. enjoy your adventure!
I love your home, well done guys ❤
We used to have a cat called Bubbles, then we found out she was a he, but the name stayed.
Lovely tour of your boat. Thank you
Bubbles is great name, whether its a he or her hehe.. Thanks for watching!
Many thanks for the tour. This is exactly the layout I'm looking for, and a happy, happy Birthday Emily.... Enjoy PizzaFrenzy (happyface) with depleted garlic bread (sad, but still laughing face)!
Hehehe thanks so much! 😊 Yes, it's quite open plan which we really like. Hope you find your dream boat! x
Excellent guys- most enjoyable. Boats got loads of character and very homely. Looking forward to more from you both. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much Anthony :)
OMG 😮 sooooooo funny about the bread. Just subbed LOL. PS happy birthday x
Heheh, yeah still making us chuckle! 😊 Thanks so much for the sub! x
@@BenandEmily welcome 🧚🏻♀️
It is delightful getting to know you and seeing your boat. Would love to be your neighbor one day albeit far away from our Tennessee home.
Thankyou David, we have a lot of different neighbours boating around, maybe one day we shall moor next to ya! Take care 🙂
You have a beautiful boat and a beautiful lifestyle! Its some someday I hope to do the same, we holiday on the Lancaster canal but owning our own boat is something we would love to be able to achieve some day. All the best for the future!
Thank you so much! 😊We would love to do the Lancaster at some point. Just a bit worried about the ribble link! Really hope you get your boat soon, its lovely when you can make it your own inside 🙂All the best you you too, Ben and Emily
Beautiful boat, very interesting and enjoyable. looks really cosy and homely.
Great vlog guys, love the fit out, and you are both talented so the skies the limit going forward! Get yourselves a bottle of Fertan and apply it any exterior rust, it will kill it dead and save you a load of dosh. Looking forward to the next episode. Love to Alan, she's a star x
Hi Mark 😊 Thanks so much for the lovely comment and the tips! I used fertan last year on the roof, it is great, but was thinking of using vactan this time as you don't need to wash it off afterwards...do you know if that is any good? Thanks again!....Alan sends her love x
No I haven't used Vactan but it appears equally effective. As long as you are killing rust then you will have peace of mind 🙂
Wilco do a rust converter. - Cheaper & seems to work just as well
What a great living space you have, it’s lovely, I could easily live there in peace, thanks for sharing your home with us, love to know more about your van too
Loved the video of your homely boat , thanks for sharing
Our pleasure : )
What a lovely boat. The art on the ceiling is lovely. I would say put a few storage boxes on the shelving in bedroom to house your clothes, rattan would look nice. Hilarious 😂 seeing that garlic bread fly out of window. Hope your birthday was a good one. Alan is a beautiful chilled out cat. So the name suits her. ❤
Hey Sheila, that's a good tip, its does get a bit messy up there! Yes that garlic bread was in a rush to escape 😆 Thanks so much, and yes Alan is a special cat indeed ♥️
Just found your channel really enjoyed the boat tour - have subscribed.
Thank you very much!
