When living on a Narrowboat gets difficult | Is it time to stop?

- We have been continuously cruising for 3 years now and it's starting to take its toll so we have some big decisions to make...
It's been longer than we had hoped since our last video. We have been very mindful to respect our boundaries when it comes to vlogging as it can feel overwhelming at times to film everything so we've decided to make intentional videos when it feels right - we appreciate all of you who love watching.

We are Adam & Lauren, we live full time on board our 59ft Narrowboat with our dog Shanti. We are excited to welcome you into our daily life as we continuously cruise around the British waterways.

Don't ever apologize for taking a break!
That means a lot ✨ we got messages saying people are going to unsubscribe as we are not ‘consistent’ enough
@@thefloatinghome17 You are free spirits - that is what I enjoy the most.
You don't have to apologise when you want to take time off and enjoy the summer and have lots of fun.its lovely you are friends of Benny and Emily I follow them as well.Have a lovely week both of you.😊😊
Good for you for taking a break from vlogging. I agree about not being in the moment when you are watching the world through a camera lens. Great to see Ben and Emily in your video after seeing you in their video a couple of days ago. Good oldBen and Emily coming to the rescue with their van, great to see Dave again too. Take care and I look forward to your vlogs when you feel the time is right to film. xxxx
Thanks so much for these kind words Shirley xx
I love that I saw Emily and bennys videos yesterday and yours today, great community spirit there for you, good luck with staying still for a while and I hope you all the best for your future. I’m planning to buy a narrowboat this coming winter once my house has sold, I hope I find friends like you have
Thank you so much - we feel very lucky with the community on the canals :) you will find good people I’m sure!
Taking a mooring over winter sounds like a smart move i think for any boater the days are shorter and having to travel when its colder must take its toll. Being able to just sit and relax will make it much more enjoyable for you all. Xx
You guys are lovely! I really enjoy your videos!
Thank you!
Found you guys through Ben and Emily. You also have a lovely vibe! Appreciate the need for easy to make but quick food. When you are busy, It's a must! Also looking forward to hearing about your long term mooring. Just vlog when it feels right, your followers will still be here!! Thanks guys!
So glad you found us :) and thanks for the kind words!
It’s lovely down there where you are, just on the outskirts of town. 2 minutes from civilisation but far enough away to not be part of it. The flood lock will help if the river floods, just need your welly’s or a paddle board for the towpath 😊
Glad you are back - I missed you three!
You guys have such a beautiful dynamic together!! I understand you’re taking a break? You go right ahead! I’ll just be here watching past videos for now. Take care! 😊
Great to see you back vlogging. It’s good to take a break and I always look forward to seeing your videos whenever you post them. Sending love to you all x
Thanks Caroline ☺️❤️
Hi Both, love your videos. Lauren, you expressed your feelings very well, the need for stillness. My life has been full of movement,I am not good at being still but your words resonated. There is a time for stillness. And growth. Look forward to your river winter.
I watched your next video with great pleasure and I'm already waiting for the next one. Warm regards.
Thank you so much - so glad you enjoyed ☺️
Hi,
I came across you guys watching Ben and Emily, amongst other narrow boat vlogs, boatime, dani and joe, ulla and josh. Another on to add to watch
Thank you
It’s lovely to see you, love your vlogs, but you have to take time for yourselves and look after yourselves. Thank you for sharing 😊
Balance is what we are searching for :)
Good to see you both! Love your vibes, glad you got a break hopefully it was good. Hope to see more of you guys!❤
You guys are lovely 😊
yay, great to see u guys back on the tube 😊
Thank you! It’s been a while ☺️
You provide us all with pockets of stillness through your videos so I'm glad you're claiming some of that for yourselves. Btw, you guys have the nicest combined energy. I'm a bit of an old celtic hippy bird so for me (and Tesla - I'm in good company 😉!) energy and vibration is everything! Looking forward to more vlogs beautiful people 💕
This message made us smile… a lot :) we feel a good energy from you also just by reading your message - thank you for being here
@@thefloatinghome17 😍🙏
Was just going to type, Johnny P is a perfectionist at washing up, but ya beat me to it 🤣 x
I hope I don’t find out ‘the news I am waiting for’ on your TH-cam channel! Great video ❤
Me too Lorraine xx
Amazing video love watching you two on your amazing adventures real inspiration 🤗 good luck 🤞🏻 to the future
Ah. I'm laughing... thanks for fessing up about the kitchen - food IS endless cooking and wiping. Happy Ben and Emily and the mighty Dave helped with wood etc. Love how Lauren breaks into song to specially announce things... I remembered those tunes... especially the pastel nata ? Totally appreciate the working out and planning - it means you're in control of what you want to happen for you. So satisfying - happiness
Love this comment - Lauren’s songs are one of my favourite things also ❤️☺️
Love you two, so sweet ❤
Gusto is so much better than hello fresh, first time watching you both and really enjoyed your vlog x
Looking forward toseeing boat life adventures in a different way, i love that you can moor up that long, be intresting to follow your next journey
Thank you!
Ha, blackberry season just started about a week ago in Western Washington state.
LAUREN, can you please post recipe for your amazing lemon drizzle cake. Was watching older video and wow, looked amazing. 💛🍋🍋🍋🍋
Love the videos keep them coming. Hola de Tejas
Thank you!
❤❤❤

#namaste ॐ as we say 🙏🙌🙏
~ Many thanks 🙏🙌🙏
Were well on our way in our van home to saving for future land and a homestead. Van and boat life are basically cousins. Any plans on spreading into a plot in the future?
You said your a bit worried about being on the River . Is that a ‘Lock’ behind you ,where your moored ? If it is you will be able to move to the other side of the Lock where its safer. Are you close to a Water Point ? You will only need to get nervous , if all your Narrowboat neighbours suddenly move away from that mooring in the winter . 😊
How do you get Hello Fresh delivered to you when you’re on the boat. I noticed it said Ervi - so do you use a parcel pickup point?
Lookout. With stillness comes permanence, nesting and babies.
It's different for my wife and myself. We're retired.
We're cruising, living in our American caravan in new zealand, towards our tombstone. Or dementia unit. Which ever comes next. Lol
We hope to be on the move again in March but also we are open to go with the flow of life :)
You just need to understand a couple of things about that reply.
Flows can be controlled. Regulated or diverted.
Once you figure out who's in control, then you can relax.
As long as you're doing the controlling.
Sweet video... Squash with the peel on? How was it?
Really good! Lots of nutrients in the skin!

Can I ask what app you use for navigation on the canals pls and thanks
Nebo :)
What was the app you use for tracking your cruising?
Nebo ☺️
I just subscribed, but I have 2 questions. I just went on your Buy-Me-A-Coffee page, and I noticed that you have a financial goal on your page, so my question is - Do your coffee donations go towards your financial goal, or is there some other way to support you ? Also, do you sell any handmade products, and if so, what are they please ?
Thank you firstly for visiting the buy me a coffee and taking an interest in supporting us it means a lot - on there we are saving to continue renovating the bow of our boat ☺️ we have mugs with our logo that we sell and Lauren also makes handmade jewellery!
Where are your winter moorings?
:)
are you on the Ooze
dont want to criticise , just for information , do you not have to use an environmentally washing up liquid , noticed you don’t choose to any reason?
20metres is a linear measurement.sorry don't understand
I actually wash up better than a woman, so I must be the exception.
You actually have to use ask questions to clean Mr. come on. What are you 6 years old? Wow.
Glad you are back - I missed you three!
Thank you :)
