Starting a Family in a Tiny Home: Pregnant on an 54ft Narrowboat

[@mikegershon8528]

I wish I could like this 100 times, but I could only give you one. You two brighten up my weekend.

[@howardwhitney9314]

Hello Jo and Vic, Ever since you told everyone about the baby when I watch your vlog I think back when my wife and waited for our first child. She is now 55 and raising her own family. So many happy, sad, and good memories. You kids are just great and I wish you all the best as you journey on. God bless!

[@bobothree]

Your little mini movies capture what we believe the English countryside to be. And the beauty of it is you understand and don't take it for granted. So good!

[@stecosgrove3779]

We were laughing out loud at the part where the dog had "learned" something in between treats and walks, like a canine reckoning. Seen that look on our's face once or twice. A real "WOAH" moment 😂

[@matthewfarrell6653]

Honestly Vick’s editing montage made me chuckle HARD! Hopefully I’ll get to come and buy some coffee from you soon!

[@brianbell2550]

Clever opening sequence, I'm impressed.

[@kevincarolan2542]

Loved this vlog,you guys are awesome, don't know why I'm crying

[@fp30e]

Jo, Vic, What a lovely Vlog. I'm always so happy after watching you two banter with each other. Loved the ending when Vic looks you in the eye and says "been working hard (editing) which made me laugh, This was a classic Jo and Vic moment. Everything about this week's Vlog was AMAZING. Thank you. Take care.

[@shieldaigbencher]

Omg the first child. Terrifying and beautiful at the same time. And before you know it they are at Uni and 20 years of your life has gone missing in what seems like 20 minutes. I wish you all the best in your new three of you adventure. Oh, and don’t feed the ducks, geese, cats…

[@bobgriffiths6600]

Jo, Vic. That has to be one of your most classic vlogs. I love the softness that you work into your stories. Now if I could just taste test one of those strawberries……..

[@richardcole7526]

You two are such a delight to watch , your life on the water is as I would desire . Gentle and filled with moments of delight . Thank you sooo much for sharing , I wish you health and happiness always . Peace , Richard .

[@LouiseL7740]

You two are fast becoming my favorite Narrowboat couple! I love love your vlogs, and I adore the way the two of you interact. Your vlogs are full of the beauty of the canals, excellent photography, calmness amongst your daily work, humor (*Vic just cracks me up with his dry and tongue in cheek sardonic wit*), friendliness, laughter and of course, your delicious cafe goodies. Keep up the great work!

[@patriciagassor4497]

Dreamy Sunmer haze, it's almost palpable how chilled you guys are in this video. Victor! Your paddle stroke is so smooth! I love how you strive to make the slightest noise in the water.

[@suzannebudlong8376]

The strawberry picking setup just blew my mind!!! Hanging in baskets?!?! With a cover over top??!!! I’m so used to squatting down in between the rows and being bitten by mosquitoes as the prairie sun burns my shoulders. I think that I’m completely jealous

[@lucaslovesmusic570]

I don't know how I got here. KZbin took me down a rabbit hole and I'm not mad about it! What a wholesome couple of river dwellers :) I'm subscribed now. Thanks youtube!

[@quebot1111]

I have watched you two from the beginning and can tell you two are soulmates. That is something special and starting your family is a wonderful thing. Besides y’all are just so cute and funny and that makes watching you an easy thing to do

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

I had a nightmare in Tesco There was a lovely lady on the tills, glowing and clearly 7months gone. Me being a blunt autistic Yorkshire man asked when it was due! Bells, lights and security guards got me. Apparently she wasn’t expecting and pressed the panic button. I now never ask. Great Video 🙏🏻

[@bobi2582]

Great Vlog and love the edit Vic. It must take hours! Well done for saving that dog too. I don't think the owner understood how close that dog came from drowning, had it not been for your speedy rescue.

[@megaady36]

"There and back again" the wanderings of Vic and Jo - so great to watch.

[@yeoldfart8762]

Life as been si busy with my little one . Haven’t got to comment though I watched on the Telly. Thank you both for the videos. Always wonderful. In Ontario, Canada where my Dad learned to paddle from the native America’s it was the oldest women’s job to paddle in the back while the next oldest paddled in front. The superficial males sat in the middle.

[@claren4643]

Just lovely & funny & slow & quick & smart & occasionally wise. That's quite a few good things to be all at once!

[@crazyinclarence5531]

I love to watch your channel. Here in Australia our borders are closed.. yet again and lots of lockdowns. Super depressing. You cheered me up. Thank you.

[@jillosler9353]

Sorry to hear you're in lockdowns again. Our media tell us nothing about what's happening in other countries and make out it's only us! They make it sound like our Government have 'created Covid' as a means of control as the rest of the world are allowed to get on with their lives! Take care and stay safe.

[@paulayala4816]

That's a neat little farm(?) to stock up on the strawberries. It reminded me of some of the fields and groves here in Orange County CA where we could pick our own strawberries and oranges.

[@theonlywoody2shoes]

Mmmmmmm..... strawberries. Guess if the weather holds I’ll be off to the local PYO farm tomorrow, all your fault! Thanks for bringing us along on another great video.

[@johnhall4146]

Unquestionably the most charming vlog on the Tube..

[@chrishibbard6488]

Jo is looking so well . Pregnancy obviously agrees with you . Alway happy when Fridays come around with another vlog to enjoy. Those strawberries looked fantastic …….don’t blame Vic for eating them if he comes along picking. Case of one for the punnet two for me ! Hope your weekend goes great with good trade. Take care……Chris x

[@NeverTwoLateOurJourney]

Wonderful vlog that dog was lucky Vic saved her. The strawberries looked yummy. You are looking so well Jo have a great weekend. X

[@apollo11guy]

Your excellent vids make me go back and relive our many UK canal trips, and for that I thank you. My Pearson Cheshire Ring Guide shows that on June 11, 1996, we also visited the farm shop. Also saw a dog take a mouse away from a cat and eat it. Great memories!

[@penneynoss9552]

Thank you for the great video. When I saw the bunnies, I thought what a great life the baby is going to have. Continue to have fun 🥰

[@michaelhiggins7365]

Oh . . . this one was funny at the end ;) So very enjoyable watching you two live life along the canal. I wish you so many wonderful days and dreams ahead. God bless you three ;)

Is giant rhubarb actually edible? I was under the impression that it wasn't, but I'm no expert.

[@danensis]

@@qwertyTRiG - the jury seems to be out on that one. They eat it in Chile, but some UK web sites say it isn't edible. Perhaps it's like fungi - all are edible, but some only once.

I just love your vlogs, makes me feel so relaxed when watching I always feel I am along with you on your narrowboat. And just bliss when you are both paddling that canoe. Not an easy task to edit your filming to make us feel part of your journey, your baby is going to have a wonderful life with you both. I liked reading the early vlogs when you were at Trent Lock (our home territory) working on your boats, we used to use Mills dry dock to paint our narrowboat which we no longer have now. Have a successful weekend at Tixall Wide, stopped there many times on our journeys.
