Phil and I are now in our seventies.Twenty years ago I set off my narrowboat for a new life, three years later I met Phil. We married with our hog roast. 7yrs trading crafts and five boats later we swapped canal life and bought 4 acres of land. We planted over 3000 trees and created a glamping site. We spent four winters in Australia living on an ocean going boat on Lake McQuarie. We travelled from Sydney to Cooktown in our camper, later swapped for Ute with tent accommodation on top. However Covid brought us home. We are now felling some of our massive willows, selling a Gypsy wagon and an Ohio airstream and trying to retire. We had to sell the boat and Ute, but happily bought the four acre cider orchard next door. Packing life in, as you are doing has been an amazing journey. We will be long gone when Bill has flown the nest, but can imagine you both becoming Vloggers extraordinaires by the time you are our age! Thank you so much for sharing your lives and keeping the spirit alive. Roz and Phil x❤

When i was in Seville there was a bike race on. There was a drinks station right next to some construction works where the riders would stop for a brief minute or two. It was hilarious that almost every single rider who stopped was fully invested in the construction workers whilst taking a drink. At times there were several riders at time all chatting about the work being done, pointing and talking to the construction workers. Even when Spaniards are competing in a sporting event their obsession with construction works still kicks in. Thanks for your video!

Happy to see you enjoyed your trip!
