The light can be stunning and it really shows off the leaves. 🍂 Fran, one of those succulents (the good luck money plant) looks like a jade plant, which can be pinched back to maintain fullness. We are going into a two-week freeze (kind of a partial lockdown) in Oregon starting today. Stay safe you two.

Life's a cruise, stay the course..and if by chance you've forgotten to fill up at the last diesel stop and become stranded in one of those beautiful settings give Rich the gas can, a peck on the cheek and wish him "Happy Trails."

With no intended criticism of the other narrowboat vlogs I follow (nowhere near all of them!) 'Constanze' is about the closest to 'real time' of all of them and I do so agree with loving this time of year. And then you showed bridge 39 which, of all the sights we've seen on our hire boat trips, that bridge is truly iconic. I'm not sure why, but if you want to encapsulatre narrowboating in one image, that weird bridge 39 is it. Obviously, one shot of the Caen Hill flight, or the south portal of Harecastle tunnel or Stoke Bruerne, can tell an awful lot, but this bridge just sets me off. We have to wait until Easter for our 2020 (!) hire boat trip, but watching you two and my other narrowboat friends, will (just about) fill the gap. Nice vlog guys, as usual. PS: The boat we had to do the 4 Counties Ring had an irritating list to one side that made sleeping uncomfortable. We could rarely moor up on the right side to be able to (temporarily) cure the list. I may be wrong, but I'm almost sure we moored just about where you are and we could use our centre line, the roof hand rails (proper tubular rails not 'moulded in') and a couple of our pins, well hammered in, to create a "Rope Tackle" that would tilt the boat level. You can tell we are Scout Leaders!

Hi Roger. Or good are usually quite up to date, we prefer it that way and can share the seasons with you all was they change. You are right about the bridge. It is one of the most recognisable does on the canals. As for your boat...... It's a good job you are scout leaders.

Good Nz morning folks. Autumn is a great time to cruise. When we hired our narrow boat back in 2008, we were advised to do it in the shoulder season, so September October when weather was ok. But for newbies like ourselves, more importantly, less traffic on the canals. We had a blast. . Btw, try including a sprouter in your mini green section. Micro greens. Anyway I'm loving your channel. Take care and stay safe. Atb.

What a beautiful mooring! Love the trip, just so amazing. Your house plants are great, and strawberries don't love full sun so they should do well. You can try putting the succulents near a light in the boat, leave it on for a few hours once or twice a week. It's not quite sunlight but it does help. Put the jade plant near a light every few days too, see if it helps. The rest look like lower-light type plants and should do well in the window. Thanks for sharing your travels!!

@@FloatingOurBoat ok ... For someone like me who has never visited UK but would like to do a narrowboat holliday for a duration of 10-15 days, something easy with few locks, great nature escape and shops which are somewhat easy to get to for suplies ... What canal would you recomend? Thanks

What a terrible place to have to moor. No high rise building, all day traffic. So I am not jealous much. The white:/Green spiky plant is Chlorophytum Comosum. Common name Spider plant.

Norbury junction. That was our first meeting with the canal network. My wife and I and her brother with his wife and son, hired a boat from the place you mentioned, it was terrible. The batteries were knackered, the boat itself smelled of mouldy socks, and the "dual steering" was non operative. But the Shroppie, especially from Norbury to Market Drayton is magic. We thought it was fabulous, we hired the boat for fourteen days and went to Chester, another magic place, so we enjoyed the experience. This was a long time ago, about 35 yrs. Our next boat was from Birmingham, "Brummagem boats", a very nice boat indeed, unfortunately our last canal experience as poor health has stopped us from this sort of vacation. Love to see you two enjoying the life, and couldn't agree more, "It is what it is." Take care and live well.

Wow! What a beautiful spot to be "incarcerated"! And what a lovely canal... Much appears to be carved out of solid rock? Odd that there are single gates one end of some locks and double at the other? Stay safe Friends. 🙏

This cutting is exactly that, cut out of the sandstone to avoid extra locks. All cut by hand many years ago.

bryan3550 There are usually a double set of gates at the bottom, lower end of each lock. This is because a single large gate would require a longer lock in order to be able to swing fully open in front / behind a boat. Longer locks require more water to fill and water waste was always a concern on canals. Also, the bottom gates need to be stronger than the top gates, as they hold back as much as double the depth of water. Building a single, very strong gate would potentially make it too heavy to open easily.

Hi Linda, Now youve done it. I think we may have to have an angel delight Friday night treat. We can only have stuff like that in winter as we dont have a fridge. my Etsy shop is ConstanzeCreations. I am having trouble making the link work at the moment , maybe as the shop is empty, but I will add some more this week and there is a link in the video description. Hopefully it will work when there is something in the shop in a few days x
