Looking For the Devil's Finger! - Narrowboat Canal Life - Episode 113

[@alysonmcmahon823]

I find your vlogs so very relaxing. So glad you popped up on my newsfeed x Very much appreciate you sharing your narrowboat life with us x You have no idea how uplifting it is x Even my hubby said he doesn't ' mind you two at all' - high praise indeed, trust me ha ha . I would love to do the same but unfortunately my husband's disabilities mean it is a no go for us and that is why i am so appreciative of your efforts and kindness in sharing your life x I have booked an afternoon tea and canal cruise in Skipton,which is about 40 minutes away, on the 6th October with my sister, daughter and daughter- in- law which will be the extent of my narrowboat experience lol but i am so looking forward to it . Also thankyou for sharing where we can find the music. I have now created a playlist called 'Music from Fran and Rich ' lol. I think i did comment in a previous vlog asking , what i now know to be Giants Nest , for info so please just ignore the comment . Blessed Be to you both and the pooches x

[@Wastelander30]

When I watch your videos I feel as though I'm visiting with old friends. From your cooking lessons to including us on your walks and everything else, I just want to thank you for welcoming us into your lives.

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Thank you so much. You are very welcome

[@eleanormortimer6392]

Hello Fran and Ritch, we have been enjoying your vlogs since March, when we were in lockdown in British Columbia, Canada. We really enjoy your walks and especially seeing some of the beautiful villages you visit. We look forward to following you on the next chapter of your life with the new boat. Wishing you all the best and thank you for the pleasure you give to us over here during the new normal. All good things Eleanor and Grant

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Thank you so much

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

I know that this is an older video, but when you mentioned that Rich would blast his music as he cleaned up the boat - the first image that came to mind was Rich all dressed up a-la Queen’s music video for I Want to Break Free. Ha ha ha ha 🤣🤣🤣 the mental picture is making me laugh even as I’m typing this comment 🤣🤣. It would be a great cleaning montage to do. We just need a nice silky slip that fits Rich, and a fabulous bouffant wig (the bigger the better) - hilarious. GO RICH!! Fran, the rug looks brilliant. Great job. I’m interested to find out how it is holding up, these years later. All the best to you both. 🙂🐿🌈❤️

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Thank you. You have quite an imagination. The rug lasted us quite some time but it was a little heavy to wash in our tiny washing machine. I mean to try again using rags woven on my standard loom.

[@sianwarwick633]

I must say you really made the best of those lockdown weeks. Those tips you gave for making a warm rug and hot simple soup are the kind of thing that gets us through cold weather days. Thanks 😊

[@FloatingOurBoat]

You are so welcome!

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Great to see you both. Excellent rug and some lovely tasty soup. Loved the walk in the autumn sunshine. Your dogs looked like they enjoyed their canalside walk. Take care. Nick

[@marty5237]

You two are adorable! 💕 Thank you for the warm, lovely videos.

Whatever you two do is so well worth listening to or watching. I always feel as if I am part of your family. Thanks you for brightening my days and take care

Thank you so much Dave 💞

[@bumblebee-mygt867]

Great to see you two again. Always nice to hear what's happening in your world. This lockdown has been hard for everyone. I love your creations Fran. Keep the vlogs coming helps to keep us all sane

Thank you. We will try

[@morrisvanderslice1735]

Glad to hear that your lockdown is over and you’re both safe. Have a Merry Christmas! Cheers!

I'm going to make the soup, it looks delicious.Archie and Jess are so funny.

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Good luck with the soup. It is one of our favourites

Hi Richard and Fran 👍 just us 2 Saying hi and thanks for sharing this video update 👍 us like yous not be doing much too 👍 and now we are in tire 3 so not much change we keeping away from shops too only go shopping after 8 pm there empty too 👍 keep safe and say well and be strong 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I like the talks and stuff better than cruising

[@kdean9537]

Hi Fran and Rich, really nice to see you both. Good job on the rag rug Fran and the lentil soup looks yum, I make one as well and they are so easy to make, and so good for you. I will certainly be checking out your new website, good luck with your podcast, blog well with everything! 😊 You both are great! Thank you for sharing, please give those lovely furry dogs cuddles...now that their bellies are clean 😊 Take really good care, stay well, stay safe. x

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Thank you. Everyone has their own version of lentil soup...I love all of them. Dogs duly cuddled and laying by the fire

[@Tony-nn3gl]

I can remember when we were kids we to make rugs with my dad, we use to use a sack and loads of material cut into small pieces and then we use to thread the clothes through the sacks. Funny thing is they use to look good when they was finished. We had them all over our house.

[@FloatingOurBoat]

That sounds like a great idea

[@myhillslife27]

Loved the walk will never get tired of your walking locations, thankyou for sharing 🙏 Love a new lentil soup recipe never tried mustard seeds.

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Thank you. Give the mustard seeds a go, I love them x

[@robertmeadows7508]

Our dear Mum made rag rugs after The War out of old overcoats ! Winters were VERY cold so us kids had them on our beds for extra warmth as thick ice would form INSIDE our windows ,& could see our breath when we woke up each morning !

[@FloatingOurBoat]

And now it seems to be normal to walk around the house in shorts and tee shirts even in the middle of winter as the house is so warm. How things change

[@hallowther9735]

Looking at yours videos and others , I just find your country a thing of beauty. The canals connect both the cities and country and there is a quiet peace you see from the canal that you don't get from a car on the road or a moving train. Hope the lockdown does not last long . All the best, Hal

[@FloatingOurBoat]

You are do right Hal. It is almost a different country when seem from the canal. Sometimes in s busy town, you can walk down from the main roads to the canal and the house and business just seem to disappear

[@borderreiver90]

Can remember my mum and dad cutting up old clothes into strips then in to lengths about 4 inches...got an old sisal sack and used a wood peg to poke holes and poke the lengths of cloth through....

[@FloatingOurBoat]

I have looked into this too

[@malcolmelliott1876]

realy nice vlog... like hearing good news from old friends the other side of the world... with the added bonus of a ragrug tutorial and local history doco... then a cookery show.!! 23 minutes very well spent.

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Thank you Malcolm x

[@lucillecash3046]

Beautiful rag rug Fran, it looks good on the boat. Nice to catch up with how you two have survived Lockdown this second time. Reading and weaving both sound good to me and time apart for Rich to enjoy his music. Love the way you two get things sorted together and I will try that lentil soup in our next winter here in NZ. Stay safe and well. 💚💜💙♥️

[@FloatingOurBoat]

You can either get fed up with a situation our find a way to deal with it. We prefer the latter!

[@KatrinaGressett]

I ❤ watching you weave! I've cone some inkle loom weaving and spinning, and I do a ton of sewing so now I know how to use my scraps. Thanks for the great videos!

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Thank you Katrina, have fun with your scraps and make something lovely

[@davidbutler4363]

Never get bored with you guys,another great vlog 😁👍👏👏👏

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Thank you

[@lorrainerichardson3280]

Thinking of all who are in the Northern Hemisphere. We were lucky in New Zealand that we went hard to stomp on covid and crossing fingers we are keeping it in isolation. Winter here was fraught with worry but heading into Christmas (touch wood) it won't be much different than normal apart from not having any overseas visitors staying. Love seeing you back and have looked forward to your banter. Take care.

[@traceyballard1678]

Beautiful shot at the end.

[@jillipepper5353]

Ice to see a video from you both, I am always happy when I see you come up in the feed👍🏻🥰🙋🏼

[@TheBoatingAdventure]

Thanks guys I think you are right I found this last lockdown excruciating agony. I'm so pleased I was able to get to the boat on Thursday. I've resorted to virtual cruising found a Narrowboat app that gets you steering a boat, also been green screening on my vlogs. The Ashby was in serious danger of loosing its water last Sunday my boat was resting in the mud for a while. You've made me hungry gonna have to make some soup. When I ran my own cafe we made gallons of the stuff so not fancied it for a couple of years. Thanks guys take care. Alan x

[@FloatingOurBoat]

I did see the news about the Ashby. So glad your ok. I know what you mean about going off a certain recipe. We do it all the time. Find something we like then make ourselves such of it!!!! Roll on longer days

[@fchichois2250]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing 🙏 Take care 🌞🌱

[@williamreimund9001]

Liked watching you make the rug, my grandmother used to make braided rugs out of old jeans and pants of all types, even a few old blankets thrown in occasionally did them in the long braids and then sold them together in an oval pattern usually ...

[@FloatingOurBoat]

A braided rug is next on my list.

[@hildahickey6964]

Fran, You showed us your little crocheted piece reminded me of a you tube lady that I watch whose channel is The Secret Yarnery. Her name is Krista and she made Christmas pickles. They are so cute.

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Thank you. I have followed her

[@johnallen148]

Everything Fran Rich,interesting video especially the devil’s ring and finger makes you think how it got there,the soup you made looks tasty I mostly end up having a go what you make lol,love scenery on you walk thank you for showing us that country side we don’t see ,well till next time take care keep safe,John 🎄🥂🎅🏻❤️👍✅🍺

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Thank you John. Have s honest the soup, it is cheap and lovely, just add whatever you fancy. Years ago we used to have it with bacon.......delicious

[@TerminusVox]

You may want to keep the Etsy storefront there even if you don't have much listed. It can be a 'landmark' for returning customers and interested customers can still find you through the Etsy marketplace. You can leave a note in your store description that people can contact you at your new website if they are interested in other things that might not be listed in Etsy. I have an Etsy store, too, but it hasn't outgrown Etsy enough to move it into its own website and I don't have any other 'go with' items like your blogs, videos, and podcasts. Congratulations on your growth! It's always a pleasure to catch up with you through your videos!

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Yes, I probably will keep the Etsy store going. We just have to try to work out the simplest way of managing it. I think not every one can find Etsy.

[@traceyballard1678]

Great to see you and see how busy you've both been, exciting news of your website.

[@rogerwhittle2078]

My dog is white and he doesn't much like water! You are right, this lockdown has been much worse than the first. I am a Scout Leader and my colleagues and I haven't seen our Scouts for nearly nine months! Many of them will be too old to return to us and we miss them dreadfully. Which will go on because no return to "face to face" meeting is contemplated at the moment. Thanks for the soup tips, Fran, perhaps I ought to start doing that? My late mother-in-law was never a particularly inspiring cook (neither was my mum, come to that) but she did make really lovely soup. If we had been for a walk around Banstead (Surrey) a dish of her home made soup (always different) really hit the spot. Great vlog guys, good to know you are both safe and well.

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Hi Roger. Funny you should talk about Banstead. I used to live in Coulsdon and helped run the beavers there for a few years.

[@rogerwhittle2078]

@@FloatingOurBoat Oh wow! Respec'. Beaver Leaders are as rare as rocking horse pooh, although getting any kind of Leader or helper these days, is like trying to wring blood out of a stone.

It's really great to see you again. I was wondering what had happened to you -- was worried you'd got ill again. Good luck with the website, podcasts, blog...

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Thank you Barney, but don't worry we are both fit and well. Hope you are too

[@capodad2u]

Hi Fran and Rich, glad your both well and safe and getting ready to come out of lockdown !!! As I write this my wife and I are sitting in our RV camped out at a little beach in central California awaiting our lockdown to start !! Unfortunately they will close all the camp grounds forcing us to go home. Always thinking of you two. 👍

[@FloatingOurBoat]

That's such a shame.

[@colinskehan]

Really enjoyable viewing , and although you are in a beautiful place after time we all need change and to move on . I think we all feel the same as you both do . Good to see you are both doing ok , and I look forward to more adventures and the every changing scenery again ..........

[@FloatingOurBoat]

These times have been difficult for most people and we know we are lucky compared to many, but it will be so good to be able to move and explore a little again

[@elizabethmondulick8209]

Fran you've inspired me. I'm a maker as well, but have never tried a rag rug. What a great way to upcycle old clothing. I totally get going stir crazy during lockdown, but hopefully it will help. Here in the U.S. as you probably know it's a mess, with everyone doing their own thing. Fingers crossed you've got it right in the UK. If it brings the numbers down it will have been worth it. Love seeing the Devil's Finger. Thanks so much for showing us. I always enjoy the bits of history that you include in your vlogs. I've been enjoying your podcasts but it's always great to see you too. Happy cruising!

[@FloatingOurBoat]

I'm not sure we have the answers here either. All we can do is use our common sense and try to keep our heads above water and stay positive.

[@sarkybugger5009]

Hi guys! Lovely to see you back. I think we've all been bouncing off the walls, waiting for lockdown to end. Unfortunately, down here, we've gone from lockdown to level 3, which is worse... Hopefully, things will be getting back to something approaching "normal" in a few months time. Al least you have a nice view out of your windows, unlike people stuck in towns and cities. Take care.

[@FloatingOurBoat]

So sorry you're in tier 3. What a muddle. We were planning to see our new granddaughter but that can't happen now. At least we can go for a substantial meal and a drink at some point though.

[@sarkybugger5009]

@@FloatingOurBoat Scotch eggs are suddenly very popular with publicans, or so I hear. Can you get vegetarian eggs? ;oD Not seen the grands in person for well over a month. They are both crawling, apparently. Not held them since they were a week old. It's a pisser, for sure.

[@paulayala4816]

Good to hear lockdown is ending for the UK again. Here in California they have closed indoor and outdoor dining again, luckily we were able to take my son out for his birthday dinner at his favorite restaurant before they shut it all down. We are fortunate in that my wife and I can work from home, "I have been busier than ever", but it has taken a toll, we all have cabin fever. The days have been really beautiful out here, which is a real shame because we are both stuck inside working. Your soup recipe looks perfect for a cool winters day, I will have to give it a try.

[@FloatingOurBoat]

We are still very limited even though lock down is over. Still vacant meet anyone for a meal or have a drink out unless we are eating. It's all crazy. Hope it's all over soon

I remember my mum making a rag mat, but hers was done on an hessian backing. My family Christmas has also been curtailed. We had book a restaurant, but because we are a family of 4 households all they would offer us was sitting at two table back to back. Two make it clear the 4 single people living in separate home sad but that’s what children growing up and divorce does. My daughter has to go to her NHS work. My son works from home, both my ex and myself are retired.
