Hidden Gem. New Narrowboat Marina Location Finally Revealed Life Living On A Canalboat

[@annhay4572]

Welcome home! You'll have that mooring spiffed up in no time. What a great garden, great sunlight. Wow, looks great without that shrubbery barrier, super! Great Kingfishers too. Your cruising videos and music are spectacular. I say that a lot, but I'll keep saying it. 🙂

[@waltersims493]

From Deb Sims, Charlotte, North Carolina. Just discovered you and subscribed. Enjoyed this vlog. I’m 72 now. Lived in UK in my teens, an American Air Force family. We flew into Mildenhall on our flight to England. Our tour of duty was 3 lovely years. I went to the American high school at Lakenheath, but we were stationed in Gloustershire. Thanks for your lovely vlog.

It’s amazing watching the planes come low overhead

[@mommahil4323]

what a beeoootiful mooring - with idyllic garden including a WILLOW TREE! how lovely is that? wishing you all the best and many happy barbies there xx

Girl from the Fens ....... Now that's a song 😂😂😂😂 the extra finger does come in quite handy 😳 Nice to see you settled, I often thought about you and the what always seems to be constant road noise (roar) at Fox's every time I pass it going from Chatteris to Hunny. Perfect new home now though 😊

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

That’s a classic song 🎶🤣😂

[@outandabout5247]

Wow, pet Kingfishers! I used to walk along River Stort to work years ago, Used to see Kingfishers nearly everday, hear them first, peep, peep, peep, then they'd come flying round the corner! got an eye for them now, if theres one around, nearly always spot it! Nice marina, great band. Have a great new year!

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

Happy new year Jeff

[@DavidBriggsAdventures]

Replace that decking with extruded aluminum. Pricey, but worth it in the long run. Expanded grating is a cheaper option. Scrap yards and industrial supply are your best options.

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

Cost is an issue

[@isobelchapman9548]

[@annclark5082]

Happy New Year. That mooring space is amazing, having your own personal garden space is perfect. I am a little disappointed though. Ages ago when you teased us with something new coming in the future. I made a comment about taking bets. I was 100% sure that it was going to be a new boat with an engine room! Never mind, for what it's worth, I think the garden is better:) Enjoy it to the full.

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

Happy new year! I think a lot of people were betting on a different boat

[@raymondparr1]

I know that place well… lovely little number you’ve got.. and you’re just inside the ATZ of Mildenhall. So I cannot do a fly over and say hello.. lol… have to keep an eye on you lovely people when you’re out having a little wander when I fly over… beautiful place well done. X

[@dorothydotson7154]

I think a garden mooring would be the best of both worlds. Having a home base and some actual ground of your own to come back to after a cruise would be ace. I follow Chris and Shell and they have created a little paradise at their end of garden mooring.

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

Ill have to catch up on their videos
