Your enjoyment that hot dog Joe is commendable

[@DanniandJoe]

It was so good!! Mustard was a little hot though took me by surprise 😂

[@helenhall3705]

Watch the Monty Python “Bruce” skit 😂

[@DanniandJoe]

Hahaha

My grandchildren call thatched cottages tea bag houses they crack me up 😃😄😅

[@christopherbutler7588]

Love The song you are playing on your video.😊

[@fp30e]

Nice cruise. Love the way you chatter/banter together. Thank you.

[@DanniandJoe]

Thank you! Yes and a touch of bickering 😂😂

[@roscokiwi1310]

Joe, Joe, Joe - I think the bike rack needs a rethink. As for pickling, I think both Joe And Danni are slowly pickling with each pub they visit

[@DanniandJoe]

😂😂. Bike rack is doing its job still, it pivots if we turn too sharply on locks etc

[@chrisrand5185]

Thatch comes in either straw or reed. Straw lasts about 20 years and reed 60 years. However, with straw you only need to replace the top layer (known as surface dressing), and can be patch repaired, whereas with reed you have to replace the entire thatch. Straw thatch is thicker and softer looking than reed. Great insulation, but the biggest problem is fire as the thatch continues to work shedding water even when it is on fire, so the fire brigade will pull the roof off rather than try and put it out with water. Most fires are caused by faulty/unlined flues/chimneys and log burners. The Globe theatre is the first thatched building to be built in London since the great fire of 1666, but has an inbuilt sprinkler system.

[@DanniandJoe]

Ah wow didn’t know there was such a difference!

[@ladygardener100]

I used a magnetic worklight for four years, then left it on, so the battery went flat. I think it cost £3.50

[@christinethomas2044]

Have you ever tried putting a dab of Vicks vapor rub under your nose and then masking up when you deal with the stinky stuff?

[@DanniandJoe]

Think I’m a little immune to it now 😂😂

[@growcrazy4058]

Pickling tip: try pickling young nasturtium seeds. When you pickle the tender seeds it’s called poor man’s capers. It’s super tasty and fun to pickle!

[@DanniandJoe]

Ah wow thank you!

[@billywindsock9597]

The doors are fantastic. The bike sequence was funny, you know you are in trouble when Danni uses you name about ten times.

[@DanniandJoe]

😂😂😂 definitely!

[@paulcharleton3208]

Brilliant video its great tagging along. Get those pubs in Joe !

[@DanniandJoe]

Thanks Paul! That pub was a gem!

[@robiniddon7582]

Yes, the Pearson guides are great. Tip, keep them in a ziplock plastic bag when you've got them on the stern deck. That way when you drop them in the water, they won't get soggy 😊

[@DanniandJoe]

Ahh great idea!!

[@tonycarter3756]

I was going to suggest-slide the gangplank down the side of the boat into the mud and -heave ho ,sometimes gets you off the mud but it would appear your plank has gone walkies 🧐Back doors look real good 👍

[@DanniandJoe]

Yes I’ve used a plank before usually works really well!

[@Tori_Garcia]

Thanks guys

[@DanniandJoe]

Thank you!!

Always ❤️

Yay. New drone? What a lovely village - that pub was gorgeous. Loving the banter too - so funny! Have a great week 😊

[@DanniandJoe]

Thank you! Yes worse places to be stuck 😂😂

[@Narrowboat.and.offgrid.living]

Canal river trust doing a wonderful job of neglecting our facility's and even want to raise licences quite shocking how little they care about boaters day to day needs

[@DanniandJoe]

Really surprised at lack & condition of facilities as we’ve travelled further

[@Carolyn_Seriously]

Absolutely beautiful! I find your journey very Enchanting. ❤

[@DanniandJoe]

Thank you very much!

Fancy having to stay overnight near a good pub 😂 never mind it’s a hard life 😂very good vlog 👍👍👍👍👍

Lovely cruise and drone shots super landscape. 💚

[@davidday6838]

Another good and humorous video, I really do enjoy watching you both, maybe one video you can do is bloopers and funny bits, what I mean is one of your first videos when Danni was loading the planks of wood for your floor onto the boat and cracked her head going below😂 I still laugh to my self today. Sorry Danni but it was funny. Be safe .

[@DanniandJoe]

😂😂 yeah one of my favourite moments caught on camera

[@1Polglen]

I'm glad the dumpouts in NZ is straight down a pipe in a concrete hole at ground level. A Tap and hose at the top for washing any spillage. No flushing needed. Large metal lid drops down over the hole.

[@DanniandJoe]

Yeah that’s better!

[@anniemac3075]

What a lovely view out of the window, boat life is the best. Your doors look absolutely beautiful with the glass in, lovely design. Windlass on the new belt makes you look like a pirate!

[@DanniandJoe]

Yeah those hatches frame it beautifully! 😂😂 definitely a pirates look! 🏴‍☠️

[@traceydavis1912]

Love watching you guys the banter can be very funny 😂😂😂😂

[@DanniandJoe]

😂😫

[@PaulR-ob2gw]

Attention

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

I can't remember any of you falling into the water using the rainbow bridge but I'd say it would be safer to double it because if it has a clasp that allows it to fold it would be a lot safer being twice as wide. I figured yall have talked about it because a few times when carrying supplies on the boat I thought one of yall might fall in, and I'm sure there will be a pub night were having a widened walkway would be a lifesaver...

[@DanniandJoe]

😂😂 rainbow bridge. Yeah that’s not a bad shout!

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

@@DanniandJoeisn't it multicolored? - didn't really pay attenetion to design, but i was seriously thinking it may be better to be widened and i figured yall probably had spoken on it because the first thing I would have thought is it was to narrow, and i figured you as a handyman would have thought it needed to be widedned...

[@DanniandJoe]

@@cliffwoodbury5319 yeah it’s not far off a rainbow, liked the name rainbow bridge though we’ll keep calling it that!

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

@@DanniandJoeYeah, just would hate to see anyone fall in the water after a bar night or when moving cargo onboard....

[@RetroRatz]

We absolutely love stained glass. It was a must when we built our Vanlife home Bess. Yours is lovely, great colours ❤ look forward to meeting you both soon 👍

[@DanniandJoe]

Thanks Chloe! Yours is stunning also 😍

[@nick42star]

Hi guys, lovely stretch of Canal that is & talking about canals & babies...well I cruised along there 18 years ago & my now amazing almost 18 year old son was a result of that magical stretch😊😅 ❤ I been hooked on canals, narrowboats n inland waterway adventures for 20+ years... enjoy the Pewsey Vale & onwards to Crofton & beyond 😊 Love you guys, my son loves your new doors🌈✌️💚✨️

[@DanniandJoe]

Hahahah that’s great!!

[@cotcottage2788]

[@DanniandJoe]

Thank you!

[@MrSheckstr]

I dont know if you have such a thing as in about to mention, as we make it ourself, but have you ever tried canned (in jars) hotdogs that have been canned in either beer or red wine? My uncle runs a beef farm (plus chickens, Pigs, turkeys, ducks etc) and has a whole butcher shop in his basement. Because of that all us family buy our protein wholesale and butcher it ourselves. And one of those things is to make out own hotdogs and we pack them in about a dozen in tall jars , fill them with either homemade beer or homemade red wine, then vacuum can them using boiling water. With the limited refrigeration space that might be ideal for you, and then you can use the beer or the wine to cook down your onions

[@DanniandJoe]

Oh wow no hadn’t heard of pickled hot dogs!! Might give that a try!

[@vadmal5210]

I think that, among all other scenes, your bicycle sketch is a little bit outstanding. You must have had a lot of rehersing before you could give it that improved tuch. Thank you!

[@DanniandJoe]

If only!! 😂😂 genuinely thought I was a gonner!

[@stevecollier21]

Just in case you weren't totally sure, makrell is Norwegian for mackerel. Keep up the great work!

[@DanniandJoe]

Yeah that one makes sense! 😂

[@stevecollier21]

BTW they'd be Swedish sausages wherever you got them, because Sw for sausage is korv, but Norwegian is pølse :)

[@DanniandJoe]

Ahh thank you!

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

U know I don't remember yall getting stuck on the siding once until the last month or so and now it's like you can't pull off to a siding without getting stuck. You should texture the gunnels so they have better grip!

[@DanniandJoe]

Agreed! Definitely depends on what’s under the water though. Yes it is high on our priorities we just haven’t had the right weather or mooring!

[@user-kg1nj3yi2s]

Good your keeping tag on these good pubs on route LOL enjoy

[@Daydreameruk]

Im sat watching all your vids, loving them all. I live in Marlborough!!

[@123gazs]

I was wondering what it was like in the Door way of smells lol, ur face said it all when you came out, How much does it cost for u to drive 10 miles ?

[@DanniandJoe]

😂😂 umm so a rough calculation is 1 litre of diesel per hour, ours is an old lump so maybe 1.5 litres, we could do 10 miles in about 6 hours so maybe £10, £1 a mile-ish

[@maryanneblackman8236]

You two are so funny , we were laughing nearly all the way through . P.s we have the same rumour in Kent ! :)

Hi Joe, how do you replace the drones so fast? Is it through a DJI insurance system?

[@DanniandJoe]

Yeah I’m really glad I took out the DJI Care refresh on this one, think you’re allowed 3 x replacements with a small amount of excess & they’ll even send it out before you return the old one so should arrive within a couple of days

[@ianmarshall8452]

You didn’t mention your new drone

[@DanniandJoe]

It’s the DJI Mini 3 Pro!

[@Dore60]

[@letsbefrank6269]

Hi, did you get the paint brush out somewhere in this video? The stern is grubby at the start and brilliantly white at the finish! 😆 Well done.

[@cms9902]

That was covered in their vlogs last week. Overlapping videos, or better still discombobulated.

[@DanniandJoe]

Did you catch the last two videos of us renovating the deck? We basically filmed cruising before & after then the reno videos separately inbetween!

[@cms9902]

I did. Huge improvement. Good to see mushrooms in art. I pick them and have done so for 20+years, and still here. @@DanniandJoe

[@letsbefrank6269]

I see all your videos.

[@catmcalpine2078]

You're now further than we got - the locks were broken when we got there so it was a choice of overstay or turn back around. We'll be back up there after we're blacked in Devizes in November (can't remember if there are any stoppages off the top of my head, so might not make it past Wooton Rivers before next year). Re: pickles, I've a metric tonne of onions done, got beetroot and jalapenos to do this week. I've tried using apple cider vinegar instead of malt vinegar on my onions this year, its meant to be nicer and less KAPOW apparently 🤷‍♀️. I've also done jams (plum, and blackberry) and blackberry cordial, with rosehip syrup and hawberry sauce to do now they're all ripe in the hedgerow ❤ And "can I pet that daaawwwg?" 😂

[@DanniandJoe]

Aw it’s very frustrating when locks being broken stop you in your tracks. Hopefully you’ll get here soon. Mmm that all sounds delicious, I’ve seen it’s not good to use homemade apple cider vinegar unless you have your own Ph tests as most of them are not as acidic as the shop bought stuff. All very interesting 😊

[@catmcalpine2078]

​@@DanniandJoeI hadn't heard that about apple cider vinegar - I bought mine though so it should be okay. Just made some plum jam (from scrumped plums aha) and some pickled beetroot though 😍 When you made your pickles, what did you use and where did you get the pickles from?

[@VehiclesvsfordDEEP]

Great video. Love watching your journeys. Are you staying on the narrow boat in the winter guy's. Or mooring it up untill the weather is wramer . ❤❤
