Love it when you say hallow peeps! Makes me feel like I am one of your friends. I like your laid back attitude, you just let life happen, and get on with it. I wish I had you as a friend. Love your boat, and the colour you are painting her. xxx

@@jillychandler hey thanks so much for your wonderful comments. And I’m so pleased that you feel like we’re having a chat! ☺️🌸 I do wonder how I come across, but I’m just being me! Hope you continue to enjoy and watch my little Vlogs. Have a lovely weekend 🌷

[@charlottewagstaff3107]

I’ve only just come across you and having a binge watch of your videos which I’m thoroughly enjoying! I’m a single woman of 50 and love watching videos on utube. I love the chatty style, the length is perfect and feel like I’m having a chat with a friend! I would love to see a tour of your boat! X

@@charlottewagstaff3107 hey. Charlotte - thank you for watching and so pleased you like my Vlogs. It’s nice to know how you view them, and good to know I come across as me! 😂 I have learned so much from KZbin myself, it great isn’t it! In my Vlog called Car Camping Tales towards the end, at about 25.45 mins there is a little tour of my boat…… Enjoy. 🌸

@@marlenedewilde6081 hey Marlene how fab of you to watch my Natterings! 😂 have you seen my other Vlogs. Hope all is good in your world. Take care xx

[@joleneharwood8493]

Thank you for sharing your tattoo story Peri 🙏 it’s an adorable tattoo. Also I love the nail colour 🎉🙌

[@Peri-mylifeinateacup]

@@joleneharwood8493 you’re very welcome…… sorry I didn’t have a more exotic tale! 😂 oh I wear all sorts of colours…..🤭 have a lovey rest of your day.🌷

The bumps are called Heberden’s Nodes. Heberden's nodes are small bony growths that appear on the joint closest to the tip of your finger. Along with Bouchard's nodes, Heberden's nodes are a symptom of osteoarthritis of the hands. They can cause pain and limited motion in your hands. I’ve got them on most of my fingers. What a great idea to get tattoos

[@Peri-mylifeinateacup]

@@ChrisS733 wow thanks for explaining - that’s brilliant! For now not that painful but I guess as I get older !!! 😂 it may. Oh and thanks for watching my Vlog, hope you continue to enjoy my Natterings! 🌷

[@paintoverstudio]

Very much enjoyed this chat. And what a lovely big teacup! I have to find one like that.

[@Peri-mylifeinateacup]

@@paintoverstudio ahhh thank you. It was a gift from my neighbour (the cup) so sorry can’t tell you where it came from…….. but I have seen them online. It’s great too because if I’m having a cheeky couple of biscuits or a bit of cake! 🤭 I use the saucer as a side plate! 😂 all the best 🌸

[@bobbiejo8747]

Peri it seems that tattoo would be very painful to get. Thank you for teaching us about the boat in your videos. Could you please tell us who you learned from to operate the boat, or how you learned?

[@Peri-mylifeinateacup]

@@bobbiejo8747 Morning! The tattoo was a little painful but because it was small it was bearable. A fellow boater came onboard with me just once….. to teach me the fundamentals and tbh…… it was all trial and error after that! Yep and a few bumps along the way. 😂 Now, I would call myself an accomplished Narrowboater! But mistakes are still made! That’s boating life! And I wouldn’t change it! Hope you’re having a lovely day…….. and as always thank you for watching! 🌸

[@cat-annechats5362]

Spiders do not freak me out, but I sure wouldn't want to deal with a dozen of them. I would have no problem saying goodbye to them permanently if I had to.

[@Peri-mylifeinateacup]

@@cat-annechats5362 😂😂

[@petrabutler3463]

Always love your videos ❤ Where did you get the flowers from that you put on your boat? I have a little camper van and the would look lovely on it 😊

[@Peri-mylifeinateacup]

@@petrabutler3463 ahh thanks, hope they make you smile and thanks for watching……. The decals? Got them on Amazon!!! Because I don’t have a ‘land address’ Amazon will deliver to the local post office, so I do tend to order quite a bit from them……😂 Hope you continue to enjoy the Vlogs! 🌸

How do we go about finding a narrowboat to buy?

[@Peri-mylifeinateacup]

@@saffanna725 hi there ! Sounds exciting!! 😊 Best place is a website called apolloduck.co.uk . Here you will find lots of different types of narrowboats with different stern decks and different fit outs, engines, lengths and widths! . There are some on FB marketplace- but be wary, there are a few scams at the moment . In my area which is Gloucestershire, there are some for sale on Facebook marketplace now, and as I recognise the boats and know of the previous owners I know whether they’re worth it or not. But of course you can buy a boat in any part of the country. And then drive it to wherever you want to be predominantly, or use the location to be the beginning of your adventures if you’re going to be a continuous cruiser ! Also many marinas have a brokerage, you will, however, pay a premium for the brokerage price. The other way to do it is, if you can find a marina that doesn’t have a brokerage, a lot of people sell them privately. You could just ask the question at the marina office. Are there any boats for sale here? That’s how I found mine and I have had her 10years and really happy with my boat and my lifestyle. Let me know if you find one, would love to know your progress! Hope this has helped! Good Luck 🤞

@@Peri-mylifeinateacup Thank you. We need some peace.

[@Peri-mylifeinateacup]

@@saffanna725 you will certainly get some of that!! 🤫
