One Day More Aboard

We sold up and bought a narrowboat! After living in Texas for 10 years, we sold almost everything and moved back home to England to live on a narrowboat and cruise the canals of the UK with our westies, exploring so much of our country that we have never seen before. We followed the build of our brand new narrowboat virtually with the amazing guys at Russell Narrowboats, and only got to see her for the first time 2 weeks before we launched in September 2021! We took a leap of faith and it's working out beautifully!

Hop aboard and join us for a glimpse into our daily liveaboard narrowboat life as we travel the UK!

A little update!

The next video in our River Thames series is running a little behind schedule. Unfortunately, I’ve come down with bronchitis and currently croaking and wheezing, so recording the voiceover to finish it off isn’t happening!

I did suggest that Pete step in and do the narration instead, but he has firmly refused… 😂

The good news is the next episode includes our favourite sign on the whole waterways network, which you’ll find at Abingdon Lock. It made us laugh, and it’s so relevant when you know that Pete is King of the Roasts!

So please bear with us for a few more days while I get my voice back. Thanks for your patience and for following along with our Thames adventure 😊

So happy to be back cruising with ‪@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked‬ for a few weeks! Our boats parted ways way back in September 2023 and we were determined to make it happen again when they came down south for the Crick Boat Show. Back to lots of laughter, shared dinners, card games, cake and Poppy and Sebastian hanging out together 🍰 🐶 ❤️
