A Day in the Life Living on a Canal Narrowboat - Ep. 141.

Join us for a day in the life living on a canal narrowboat in lockdown. Have you ever wondered what it's like to live full-time on a canal narrowboat? We'll show you around our tiny, 57-foot by 6.5ft narrow boat, take you for a short cruise to get some supplies and tell you what life's really like living on a narrowboat.
Here's a link to our Mr D's 3L Thermal Cooker 👉🏻
mrdscookware.c...
Here's Shaun's Beef Stew recipe 👉🏻
700g Lean, large diced beef.
1 Large onion, cut into 1-inch chunks.
4 Medium potatoes, peeled and chopped into large bitesize pieces.
200g Mushrooms, halved.
Roughly chopped fresh tomatoes.
Carrots, cut into chunks.
Beef stock.
2 tsps Worcester sauce.
1 tsps Oregano.
2 tbsp Plain flour.
2 tbsp Olive oil.
Salt and pepper for seasoning.
Season the beef with the salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Brown off the meat, turning with tongs, for about 5-minutes
Transfer the beef to a large plate and set aside.
In the same pan, brown off the onion chunks and mushrooms for about 5-minutes.
Add the beef to the pan.
Add the flour to the pan and stir until dissolved, then tip into the thermal cooker.
Add the fresh tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, Worcester Sauce, Oregano, and beef stock into the thermal cooker.
Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally and simmer for 10 minutes.
Seal the thermal cooker and stand for three hours.

I love Otis cam with the fluffy floppy ears! Also Colin there is a lot of evidence supporting exercise, and also being in nature, and by water to improve mental health. So you are doing all the right things. I have started to keep a nature journal recording what I see, and it has definitely helped me to keep my anxiety and depression at bay during the pandemic. That’s why I suggested you try and hand feed the squirrel earlier. I am full of admiration at the way you speak out about your mental health by the way.

Shaun is getting so much more comfortable on camera, practically a professional. I’m guessing that either Otis’ dad is a greyhound or your cocker spaniels are much bigger than ours here in the states.

You may never know just how much we all enjoy a vicarious view into your daily lives. And . . . PLEASE continue to do on occasion, more cooking segments. Shaun may have just put Graham Kerr right out of a job :O :O :O I also loved that you used Worchester Sauce in the stew, THE ONLY BRAND I buy is Lea & Perrins and I refer to it as "The Golden Nectar sent down from Heaven." I love it over mashed potatoes, try it sometime ;) Take good care Gentleman, you have really livened up our world once again with your joyful presentation and we are all the better for it !

We come from the midlands so we’ll have plenty of canals to cruise down. We too have a dog (Bentley the beagle) and I know he’d love it just like Dillon 😢 & Otis.

you guys look so cosy watching the tv in front of the fire, watching this during the heat wave has been lovely, cannot wait for winter!

[@ruthmichigander]

Oh man that stew looks so good! Will have to look again to see if the thermal cooker is available yet. Last time I looked they were sold out. Guess Covid has everyone making stuff at home. Have a great weekend Colin and Shaun and Otis!💜💜

[@FoxesAfloat]

Hope you enjoy

Back again! Actually I haven't stopped watching since left last comment for you hours ago haha. Better than Netflix. Anyway I had to say that I am so SO loving your winter videos, as I live in Queensland, Australia and I would give anything to have a white Christmas, be surrounded by snow and asmr (😋) ice breaking like in one of your other videos I watched earlier. My family reckon I must be part polar bear as I can't stand hot weather. So this is just beautiful to me. I'd be out there steering the boat etc even if my face turned into an iceblock haha. Anyway am off to bed after watching this one. So goodnight and much love and covid free air hugs from your Aussie polar bear fan. 🌺

Glad you're enjoying all this madness, have a great weekend xx

Love the scenic paths along the canals.

It is lovely! x

[@dianebrown7034]

Great insight into the daily life of you guys. Loved the slip in the snow. Great recipe Shaun, can we have more please. How about a cookbook as well as a calendar!!!!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Great suggestion!

[@wendygriffiths585]

All I can say is wow! What an amazing vlog, so lovely to see how you live day to day, absolutely love your vlogs Thankyou guys take care xx

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@margaretwilliamson9659]

Wonderful to have Shaun showing off his cooking talents. Would be fun to see more once in awhile. Then he gets to do the talking!! 😁 Great episode

[@FoxesAfloat]

I hate talking to camera. I never know what to say. I get tongue tied, and I feel really uncomfortable.

[@margaretwilliamson9659]

@@FoxesAfloat Shaun, You did wonderfully with talking through the recipe. It's the familiarity of what you are doing. Just use that. Please still consider showing more cooking at various times.

[@jeffbatt8968]

A wonderful insight into the goin's on and off's on your narrow boat. Great fun, thoroughly enjoyable, You's really made my day. God bless you both and stay safe paleeease.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@James-rc6qq]

Came up in my reccommended. I've never been on a narrowboat and never wondered about or cared for this way of life if I'm honest. But I never realised how cool it is XD. great video lads loved it :) Great to see the behind the scenes of how you live on a narrowboat and how you film and record your videos.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Aww, thanks James and welcome 🙏🏻

[@maryp2747]

I just discovered you guys. This is my kind of cruising, slow and easy. I grew up in Michigan, (USA) and my family boated on the Great Lakes. It was great when the water was like glass, but sometimes the open water could get pretty rough. Now I'm going to binge watch the rest of your videos.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thank you and a huge welcome! 👍🏻👋🏻

2 Northern lads calling lunch dinner. Same as myself.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Absolutely x

[@tweed532]

Like many others have mentioned, I reckon one of the most natural and jolly Vlogs you two have put out. Shaun on top form giving as good as he got from 'the chatty one'. However serious devil in the detail, HOMEMADE or BOUGHT Yorkshire Puddings @ 18.06? Just baked my weekly loaf, 'Galley Goodies with Shaun' should be a feature.! All the best. 🤔🤭👍😃

[@FoxesAfloat]

No details, just enjoy it! 😂💜

[@JoeLodge]

Watching this after waking up this morning I was moved by the healthy balance that came across in your lifestyle, and was inspired to walk for an hour after breakfast which in turn better prepared me to face the day. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Absolutely our pleasure, Joe 👍🏻

[@FRANK1EO1985]

Made my day this video. Keep up the good work lads 👍👍👍👍

[@FoxesAfloat]

Glad you enjoyed it

Wow you really do reply to every comment thank you

I’m all caught up ...this has kept me happy during this lockdown thank you 🙏

You are so welcome

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Colin & Shaun & Otis, I would really love to live on a narrowboat, all of the different beautiful places and landscapes you can see as you're going along would be awesome to me as I adore the countryside. Thank you for showing us a snapshot of canal narrowboat life and that beef stew looked so appetising but where were the dumplings Shaun ???, seriously though I love Yorkshire puds in fact we had a roast today with Yorkshires. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🙏💖

[@FoxesAfloat]

Hehe. We do have dumplings sometimes

[@SueGirling68]

@@FoxesAfloat Lol, that's good to hear. xx

[@jordanjackson9598]

Love the video guys! I’m viewing a boat to live on next week And this has given me great insight into narrowboat life with your comical value along the way! Love your boat too it’s stunning 😍

[@FoxesAfloat]

Best of luck!
