Shanti is just gorgeous, he really is. We have a working cocker. She’s called Juno. Aren’t they just gorgeous dogs? Juno will be moving onto a narrow boat in the spring 😀 x

Another great insight. Glad you enjoyed your Sunday lunch Adam, didn’t expect to see it on here. XX

It was delicious and very gratefully received

[@laurencoley2560]

Loved it :)

[@lynnedeegan4077]

That information board at the lock will have been telling you about the not so secret war bunker that is now a visitor attraction, we visited several years back, it was interesting and worth the visit.

[@thefloatinghome17]

Oh really! That’s cool.. so the bunker was there as they anticipated war so for people to hide

[@lynnedeegan4077]

@@thefloatinghome17 it's a massive secret underground military bunker, it was incase of nuclear war and was not for the masses, it was for strategic personnel only, it was operational until the 1980s. Its called Hack Green Secret Bunker if you want to look it up

[@susanmparker4109]

Looking forward to you cruising the Leeds Liverpool canal and I believe you're off to Wales too...a country we fell in love with a couple of years ago... enjoy 🥰

[@michaelpilling9659]

Hello You Three - greetings from Poland A lovely cruise towards Nantwich through the county I was brought up in. A fascinating story about your 3-year hitchhike to Asia. What an adventure! The cleaned and polished fire looks wonderful - congratulations to Lauren to a job well jobbed! A fabulous real life video. Wonderful camera work and superb commentary. I loved it. Stay safe please

[@thefloatinghome17]

Michael thank you for this detailed comment - it’s so lovely to read when someone has watched the video and really taken everything in - great to know you were brought up in this county also!

[@newlifecomingsoon]

😌🙏😍 thanks guys for sharing, lovely!

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thanks for watching!

[@amarillasolo5864]

You should get a little fishing net for those balls😉

[@simonsherlock]

Please keep these coming, it's great to see the great Cheshire countryside from the canal, as well as see how much you love it, and the boat. What work do you do, and does the boat (and connections etc) create any major challenges?

[@simonsherlock]

and I am allowed to call a barge a boat, or have I just committed a minor faux pas? :)

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thanks Simon! The Cheshire countryside has blown us away! Every lifestyle has its challenges of course but often it’s your mindset towards the challenges that matters more. Will definitely be making videos to answer some of the questions you’ve asked here!

[@livvylang]

I feel inspired!

[@thefloatinghome17]

That’s great to hear ! Thank you 😊

[@kimberlyonseastar]

That trip sounds so amazing!!! Did you film any of it? You could KZbin podcast it. I’d love to hear details

[@s.s858]

[@sianwarwick633]

I think i'm going to show someone your stove... they have a small fake stove, that occupies a small space in their restaurant/bar. Maybe this will persuade them to think about replacing it.

[@UKCM]

It is perfectly fine to feed bread to ducks and other wildfowl. Just don't over do it. There is a "slight" possibility of health issue in younger birds, if fed too much bread Similar to humans and their "HUGE FRY UP" .... yes it can be bad for you, but having it "once in a while" is ok Love watching these Canal Vids. Just wish I had the funds to join you guys on the cut

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thanks for the tips Paul! I guess we never know how much others have fed them but I see what you mean 😊 Glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@shae5502]

Can you share some of your delicious recipes 😋

[@bccradventures84]

Really curious about your engine. Is there some pictures or videos showing it? How much fuel do you keep on board ? How much does it use per hour? Thanks.

[@thefloatinghome17]

I can make sure we include some videos of inside the engine within the next few weeks :)

[@valeriebaxter2354]

Do you have a tour of your home? Shanti is toooooo cute x.

[@thefloatinghome17]

The tour is coming 👀
