The weird problems of full-time narrowboat living - 215

[@likebutton5445]

Wes you do need a tiny jug! Imagine if the King and Queen came for afternoon tea now that you're famous TV stars - you couldn't just call out " you want milk in your tea love?"; you'd have to offer the milk in a tiny jug 😃

[@scottfw7169]

Love that, "Are you excited to carry it down the towpath?" answer of a somewhat groaning, "No." instantly followed with Happy! Cheery! Smile! music. 😁🤣

[@OneantasTossGreathouse]

My favorite narrow boat family and community

[@BoatTime]

we are glad you are part of it 🥰🫶🏻

[@PaulDavidGatford-k6n]

Great shot you are both professional photographers, and vloggers great editing you both score 50/50 each

[@natashab2304]

Bless you for litter picking - you really do make the world a better place!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@BoatTime]

😊 thank you that’s so lovely ♥️ we try our best!

[@countrycrossstitcher3573]

Love the vlog as usual ❤️ just a heads up, feeding bread to the birds will mean they don’t get the nutrients they need and give them a condition called angel wing which then causes them to be unable to fly. You can buy swan and duck food at some of the grocery stores 🙂

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Hi Amy and Wes. That certainly was a warm weekend. Your dedication in trying to get the shot of the narrowboat crossing the aqueduct was admirable. Wes you know a tiny jug was definitely useful 😄 The trip to the laundrette looked exhausting 🥰 Take care. Nick

[@BoatTime]

Hahah thanks Nick! Glad we got the money shot 😂

[@AnthonyCarter-g2o]

I think the shot of the aqueduct was worth it,it’s iconic like a train going over Chirk whilst navigating 👍Some of your dietary habits have had a big influence on me I e .-vegan alternatives .Big relief to get all that washing done!

[@sallyu1]

We love how Amy couldn't help and film at the same time, so she didn't help haha - When we put our summer clothes away, we always keep a pair of shorts out for the in-between days. The swans are very cute but very annoying at the same time, the same as geese - very demanding. Another great vlog that made us laugh a lot xxx

[@debmansbridge3923]

Epic laundry adventure 😂 how could we not love it ♡

[@followtheboat]

Yes, it WAS worth it, Amy! Loved seeing the aqueduct being used. That swan... And that tiny jug... ❤ Liz

[@martykitson3442]

son she was determined you were not leaving without that shot😁

[@jacquelineryde7339]

That swan was so funny😂 like the aquaduct shot whoo hoo. That will be us soon dragging the clothes to the launderette😊. Great vlog as always ❤❤❤❤

[@marianneeckertjensen4723]

Wes' little read narrowboat was best.. And thanks for picking all that litter 🤩

[@absolutelyamanda2942]

2:08 i absolutely love the bird sounds here, maybe tone the music down a little??

[@Andrea29987]

Love the aquaduct...one of the things I am looking forward to when I get my boat :-) xx

[@BoatTime]

they are really cool! one of our favourite bits to cruise ☺️

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Real life springs to mind. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Take care and stay safe. ATB to you both and Rufus.

[@joannahart1604]

Beautiful videos as always and who cares what everyone else’s thinks !! Love the food. Love your boat …love you guys…thank you 👌❤❤❤

[@scottfw7169]

🥙🥙 There at 5:47 that quick view of the Greek wraps, they looked bright and fresh and colorful; easy to imagine they were delicious.

[@bluedeva]

Swans really are the grain tax collectors of the canals 😂🤣😂 Wes “go home youre drunk” 😂🤣😂

[@BoatTime]

😂😂 very true! they look so lovely until you get to know them 😂🦢

[@bluedeva]

@@BoatTime I was shocked how loud it sounded from inside 😳maybe I was too kind they should be called the grain terrorists not grain tax collectors 😂🤣🤗

[@rebeccacorina1584]

Absolutely dying at the aggressive swan 😂😭 i love your videos so much! I found you from the video of you guys at vegan camp out and your channel is now my comfort show! You seem like such lovely people and it's so nice to see what you get up to ❤

[@Michael-ln7us]

It's been 23c here in Brisbane, I have had my coat and trousers on. It is winter now though. Think I have well and truly acclimatised Great video

[@larryalbert1027]

I'm game for the fish n chip place

[@BenBennett9000]

Thanks Wes and Amy - we so much enjoy your vlogs. Wes - stop fretting about your “enormous” head - it is well-shaped and well-proportioned. Amy - lovely as always!

[@MsRachaelRoberts]

❤ that you litter pick. How selfless and kind. 😅 @ Wes to the Swan "go home, you're drunk". Ugh to the people commenting on your diet. What does it have to do with anyone else? Love your chip adventures. ❤

[@BoatTime]

haha thank you! ♥️ The chip adventures will live on! 🍟

[@karenwallace9099]

Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@BoatTime]

Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@alysmalley]

Love that you litter pick!! 👍👍👍 Hiding from the swans 😬 reminds me of me Halloween night

[@charlottehyslopeclark7042]

“Go home you’re drunk…” Wes to the swan! 😂🤣😂

[@kikithecrocheter74]

7:26 it was worth it! 😅 but I really enjoyed Wes' version, lol! You two crack me up! 😂 thank you so much for the great content! 🧶

[@BookmavenUSA]

Another enjoyable Vlog. Love your time in my old stomping ground Milton Keynes and you walking along the same towpath I did. I always caught the train to London from Wolverton. Thank-you for bringing back ! The Concrete Cow artist lived in the flat above me !

[@claire0donovan117]

Laundry was never so simple 😅,you both rock .Thanks for visiting ,see you Tuesday.🤗💚☘️

[@daveallen1059]

great- ducks sweet guys

[@sammyb1651]

1920's themed! 🤣 Steady on, Wes!

[@Andrea29987]

The signets and swans are gorgeous. we have done a few narrow boat holidays and I remember waking up to see a similar scene. My daughter was about 9 (she's 17 now) and we were sat on the stern feeding them in our pyjamas. Lovely to see xx

[@angcam42]

❤Your videos are always worth it.... Think more interesting watching u guys go through the dark tunnel to get the shot is better than the actual shot 😂

[@tinarogers8947]

Yes worth the walking detour to get the shot 👍🏼

[@bobbing_along]

Bubbles! You two seemed to have explored Wolverton more than we did! Though I (Stu) loved Ali's Model shop, and Ali was great! Fun video, nice to see a location we enjoyed!

[@andrewcarmichael8683]

Lol, enjoy this! Hiding from swans!

[@JaniceHall-qd1te]

Thank you for that will defo get one

[@pamelasmith9784]

I loved wes boat going over the aqduc I so funny .you guys just me laugh and make my day cc'd

[@annjarvis9300]

You really need one of those truck things well done a great vlog has always tc now the oldies 🤗🤗👍👍👍

[@garylydement5020]

[@PaulGatfotd-sx8pb]

Congratulations well done great editing you both scored 50/50 each between you

[@BoatTime]

thank you!! 😊

[@narrowboatersatlarge]

The swan Mafia are hilarious! They are persistent so-and-sos! We've also tried the nobody at home routine and failed miserably 😂

[@nesleinf]

Thumbs up for your litter picking ! Love from Denmark

[@BoatTime]

thank you ☺️

[@claireswain9748]

Lovely Cosgrove my boaty home for many, many years. I thought all boaters had an Ikea bag for laundry😂. Stony Stratford also has a laundrette, next time, you guys are south.

[@BoatTime]

haha we just skipped the ikea bag and opted straight for taking the washing basket 😂😂 thank you! good to know 😊

[@22SOS22]

It’s all worth it! Thanks!

[@juliebecker6049]

Good watching the red boat go over the bridge

[@scottfw7169]

At least one matter is relatable - this midwestern USA landlubber just got back from doing laundry at the apartment complex laundry room. Was a popular place today.

[@NicoleWinter-gp9ni]

I’m blooming sure that those steps you had to take the laundry basket trolley contraption up are the exact same steps we had to go down and up so many times to move izzie and ciara onto their boat. The van was parked in the estate and the boat was moored out of sight of the those steps. Nearly killed me doing that with all their worldly good, so I feel your pain as it’s a mad set of stairs!

[@BoatTime]

they definitely were! Good spot. Honestly can’t imagine how tiring that would’ve been 😖 even the piano? haha! thanks for watching ☺️♥️

[@NicoleWinter-gp9ni]

Yep 😂

[@julie9242]

GG looked best. Yes the little jug was lovely, I have a soft spot for a bee pattern👍😁X🐰x

[@TheBrotherLouie]

Another great vid guys ❤❤❤

[@BoatTime]

thank you 🥰 appreciate it!

[@Red-Robin4]

I believe bird feed is a lot better for them they say not to feed Swans and Ducks bread because it has no nutritional value and it does something to their stomachs. But I’m so happy that you do feed the swans and ducks & etc because they need all the help they can get. And I think you two are awesome people for picking up other peoples litter it shows what good people yall are.❤😁 And I thought that the boat going over the bridge was very pretty and totally worth it especially because the boat happened to be a pretty red and white it matches really prettily with the boat, so great job Amy!

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid cranking it on the cut liveing the dream thanks lee

[@vivnutter2156]

Who would have thought watching you take you’re washing to the laundrette would be so entertaining.shame you couldn’t get a shot of gg going over the aqueduct xxx

[@Freeasabird2024]

Those swans are a pest! I can't believe how late you guys eat 😅 glad you got your washing and clothes sorting done 😊

[@carolinefrench7820]

Yes, definitely. Xx

[@ssadams]

Love the vlogs! I retire in 2 years and thinking about buying a narrowboat. If I do it will be great to see you on the canals. Cheers 😀 👍 🍻

[@christinemcintosh1450]

Love you guys

[@revelationofapencil]

I think the Foxes Afloat get the BAFTA for that shot of them on the away duct then the steam train going on the viaduct up on the Peak Forest(?) canal.

[@alisontaylor6135]

yes it was worth it xx

[@lvi3818]

The Swan eyeballing your dinner through the window😂 But please, only feed them wild bird food, especially the young ones, as bread fills them up and provides no nutrition

[@faze3100]

Erm, that’s not true!

[@BoatTime]

haha he knew where to get the food 😂 We only generally feed them the end slice of bread, mainly feed them oats ☺️

[@shanehumberstone5262]

My boat lives on the great Ouse 😃😃😃

[@BoatTime]

ah amazing! we can’t wait to visit the ouse!

[@dexterfitben]

I like hte way nothing stopped them connecting London to the midlands 200+ years ago but we cant even make HS2 happen today. You need a heavy horse to tow those clothes.

[@sheilajoseph9953]

The peeping swan. 🤣🤣

[@JaniceHall-qd1te]

Hi in one of your vlogs you put something inside the fire it was a round metal thing and you said it saved a lot on coal could you tell me what it's called please

[@BoatTime]

It’s called a Coal Cage - would recommend! 😊

[@gracebean7441]

It was the Wes Brrr Beep for us in the US.

[@BoatTime]

😂😂 very accurate sounds

[@scottfw7169]

Thought for sure Amy would tell us that it is iron and it conducts aqua.

[@NormanTyrer]

Come on guys! Your off your trolley if you don't invest in a new trolley 😂👍🏻

[@jenniferpruden4059]

Another good video. Dont envy you one bit each time you need to go to the launderette. Could you not fit in a small washing m/c on the boat so you could do small loads and wash daily, just a thought, also thinking of the cost at the laundrette. Those swans were lovely but i bet they can be a nuisance at times. Would you be better off with a fold up trolley along the towpaths? Take care and stay safe xx🙋👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨🎊🛥️

[@_Tiamat_.]

[@traceyd9559]

The Royal Train is stored at Wolverton

[@PKWeaver74]

That little jug will come in handy.

Jeez, swans are angry!!!

Can you stand up in here? Yes, can you? \ no. 😂😂😂

Desolate you’ve gone from u tube. I don’t know how to get to Facebook. I’m an avid fan and miss you both so much and rufus can you help me please?🙈🙈🙈

We’re not going anywhere from KZbin! 🥰

[@CaroleOwen-yu3gr]

@@BoatTime thank goodness. So pleased!!!will get my girl to sort out socials Thankyou for replying was so worried as you two are like family now. Take care xxxx

[@rossrowntree5905]

Glad Wes is not letting it all go after quitting work . It may be a few months unto he starts walking about in his pants 😂😂😂😂

[@BoatTime]

😂😂 wait isn’t that the work-from-home outfit anyway?

[@mazack00]

Oof, poor cart

[@colinbarnes5850]

Why did you just not move your boat closer

[@BoatTime]

believe it or not that would’ve been more hassle as it was facing the wrong way!

[@neilstanniland1011]

First meal, your comment half hour, walk it off..............looks more like an half day needed. Second hefty meal..............boat tilts when in bed .............get up ....invite Swan family on board......cocoon them with Dog at opposite side of boat ..................balance restored........Night night. Woken early by Swans and Dog tugging energetically at cupboard doors,......Cygnets found what they need earlier ...........much smarter.

[@Roy66Nott]

Have you ever walked off and forgotten your camera?

[@BoatTime]

yes! 😂 i’ve left my phone at a lock for 2 hours filming before as we cruised off, and also at a lift bridge filming for 45 mins 😂🫣

[@samwright8599]

I watch you and you eat healthy! Your vegan, you don't get the same choices. How people can think that I don't know. Do you watch madeleine olivia? She makes all her food, every single day (vegan) has a couple of vegan books out and her husband cooks the bread, but they get thier ve dropped off every month. Its a bit different on a boat. ❤❤❤ rant over. Xx

[@samwright8599]

*veg*

[@juliebecker6049]

Time to buy a bigger washing machine for your boat

[@BoatTime]

if only we could! we have nowhere to put a proper plumbed in one sadly.

[@SteveStrating]

We’re Subscribers and Patrons but Tracy won’t let me Comment on her account so I’m here to vote for Wes’ AMAZING video simulation of a boat crossing the aqueduct over the video of the real thing. :-)

[@tracystrating6129]

Amy’s nearly always right!

[@BoatTime]

haha! it was so good it got a comment, sorry Tracy 😂🤭 thank you!!

[@BoatTime]

haha I am for sure 😉
