This week we start our journey at the top of the Shropshire Union Canal in Ellesmere Port but after arriving we quickly decide to up anchor and make our way back to Chester.
Hi, we are Rozzie & Rob with our lovely cockapoo's Ralph & Rosie. We have given up the rat race, sold our house and have bought a new narrowboat, Thistle & Rose. Our vlogs are showing our learns as we go from bricks and mortar to life on the water. Join us as we literally learn the ropes of becoming continual cruisers on England's 2500 miles of canals & rivers.
Our vlogs are ideal if you have ever wondered what it's like to live on a narrowboat or are considering to make the leap and buy your very own narrowboat. There's always some humour, lots of mistakes and always a few drinks being poured. Subscribe to our channel, ask us a question or just watch our videos as there's something for everyone.

I enjoy the landscapes and the townscapes.
Thanks for watching ☺️
Sorry you missed the Museum. We were there last year for two days and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the many buildings and fantastic exhibits. Had no trouble although someone appeared to be permanently moored on the water point. We double moored whilst we filled up and scrambled over the other boat. Not our fault if we disturbed anyone.
Tip for Chester Locks: read the instructions!!!!!! I didn't. Got the water levels wrong going down and nothing works. Had to refill all the locks and start again as per the clearly written and clearly displayed instructions. Everyday is an adventure on the cut!!
Yes it was a shame, but there will always be a next time! Sorry to hear about the locks!
Every day is an adventure that is for sure!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Love the adventurous spirit in this post! Your escape from noisy neighbors on a narrowboat sounds like a thrilling adventure
Thanks for watching ☺️
@@thenarrowboatgoodlife welcome
I grew up in NYC but my parents are from County Mayo. I love black pudding. Yes, I know what's in it 😊
Isn’t it tasty! 😋
Thanks for watching
great video thank you ❤👍
Thank you ☺️
We have recently moved away from Ellesmere Port having been moored up in it vicinity for almost two weeks. Never had any issues there - that we are aware of!
I guess we were just unlucky!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Peace my friends Xx
Thanks for watching ☺️
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much! Really appreciate it! We’ll raise a toast to you! ☺️
Bacon & Black Pudding. A match made in heaven!
100% agree! It was so tasty, thanks for watching ☺️
Watching your videos and Heidi “The Narrowboat Pirate” make me want to fly over from the states, rent a narrowboat, and enjoy those same moments! 😊😊😊
Oh wow! You definitely should! You’d love it 😊 thanks for watching
The clip at !6 minutes going through that narrow part was wonderful
Thank you ☺️
Gosh, those Northgate Locks are soo deep! No wonder it takes so long to fill and get through. Between the height standing on the side AND the depth when on Thistle and Rose, they are both claustrophobia AND acrophobia inducing!!! You must be glad they are behind you!
We Aussies are fans of black pudding too! I must add one to my shopping list 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
It is so tasty!
The locks certainly were deep! Made my legs shake!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Sorry you had problems at Ellesmere Port, we have been several times with no trouble at all. Perhaps stay in the museum it would have been safe.
I guess we were unlucky.
Thanks for watching ☺️
You look cold ! X
It was cold 🤪
For all the good there is always some bad. We like your attitude, and moving on is the best way. Here's hoping you had some better days thereafter! If I get a boat, I think I'll limit myself to your top ten places to cruise. Till next time, may you all four have a wonderful safe and happy week. Toodle pips! 🙂
Thank you so much! It’s very rare that we don’t feel safe, but easy to move so all worked out well!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Oh a bacon and black pudding sandwich, that’s got my taste buds going 😋 thanks for sharing your travels 👍
It was very tasty!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Black pudding! Yum! I haven't had any for years....I'm on way to the butcher right now! Bye!...and thanks for taking us on your adventures.
Hope you got some!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Loved the view from halfway along the boat of Rozzie on the tiller. Gave it a totally different perspective. Don't know about the black pudding sandwich though.
It was very tasty!
Rob is great with the camera!
Thanks for watching ☺️
That’s the great thing about narrow boating, you can just start up and leave when there’s noise or possible trouble. Can’t do that living in a house or flat. In my family we call black pudding, “blood sausage”. I don’t know which is better. We eat ours with cranberry sauce, especially at Christmas.
That was one deep lock. Can certainly be scary. Nice cruising with you. Have a good weekend. Cheers!
Yes we agree. Very rare to have to move.
Ooh never tried it with cranberry!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Love Chester we were there in July last year while on our 5 week trip around the UK from Australia, love all your content guys 🥰🥰
Wow! That must have been an amazing trip!
Thanks for watching ☺️
goo vid cranking it on the cut and liveing the dream thanks lee
Cheers Lee 🍻
Lot of travellers living around E.Port
Thanks for watching ☺️
Fit like. You mentioned the yobs jumping on the boats. Have you seen what happened to the couple on Duo Vagari. They are renovating a big barge. Some young kids got onto it and smashed their new double glazed windows. Keep cruising and take care.
How awful for them 😢
Thanks for watching
Always love watching you two. We would be the same moving on if not comfortable. We now have our narrow boat called Lerryn so hopefully see you on the cut sometime ❤️❤️
Awh lovely! And yes do give us a wave 👋
Thanks for watching
❤❤❤
Thanks ☺️
How much did it cost you for the boat and restoration and everything?
The boat was new so no restoration. A new boat will cost anywhere between £130,000 and £200,000.
Thanks for watching ☺️
@@thenarrowboatgoodlife you’re both amazing! Would love to introduce you to an amazing brand of essential oils that I am working with one day. They would go down an absolute treat on your boat plus you could earn an extra income through your you tube. Let me know if you’re interested in hearing about them x
You really should have reported those kids to the police, while it might be a bit of fun for them - it isn't for everyone else. Your first instinct when you saw them again was to hide your camera equipment which tells us it was more than them just "being kids". The situation was bad enough for you to move on another 3 miles to safety. I feel sorry for the owner of the boat that got boarded by them, must have been frightening, even more so seeing other boaters just leave them to it.
👍🏼
DONT BLAME YOU MOVING its not safe any where
It’s very rare we don’t feel safe. But was easy just to move on.
Thanks for watching ☺️
