Always such a pleasure to watch. Jo's little sqeaks are adorable x😊

[@sammierobinson9226]

On the last video, making your own Sauerkraut was mentioned. This is very easy, just layer shredded cabbage and salt in a jar or crock, cover the top of the layers with a cabbage leaf, weighed down with a weight and set aside in the dark to ferment. About 4 weeks is all it takes. For the weight, you can put a rock in a plastic bag or fill a bag with water and use that. Make sure there is no air by packing the cabbage tightly in the jar.

Baby Jo's squeal.🥰 Love the recycling of old worn out boots and wellies 💚

[@andreaPat70]

Lovely vlog and haircut. Joubert is absolutely adorable and growing so much. Lovely to see him looking around and starting to take everything in. Hopefully we will see a lot of the sun over the summer to make up for what seems like a very long, grey and wet winter. x

Forget the food Jack, when I saw your new look I thought hello, FRESH!

Some people like to do an exchange where you choose the number of items for the charity shop that you bring new ones home

[@dianetanski464]

I love sorting out and donating items for a worthy cause. Unfortunately I am not a minimalist by any means. Wish I was, but I am married to a packrat. So anytime I try and give stuff away, he has to go through everything first and complain about it. However, I have loved this man for 42 years! So, it is what it is.

[@stephenpyner4156]

Loved the video jack and gabby and loving your haircut jack as it looks smarter around the sides now. It's nice to see how you upcicle things like your old footwear using them to plant strawberry plants in and the love song in a frame was a great idea. As an ex camper we used to do a similar thing to you guys by leaving items we never used at a spot on a campsite for others to use if wanted. Keep up the great videos guys and hope your allotment goes well for you ❤

[@marianneeckertjensen4723]

Nice spring time for tidying up and planting! And the weather is so unpredictable.. Most plants do well, though. Only beans do not like cold temperatures, below 4 degrees. Good luck :)

Love the hair cut. It’s been such a wet winter and is a cold wet spring too I bet it gets you down. I always say there’s no where nicer than a river or canal in summer. Little Jo is adorable. loved this vlog. xxxx

[@thistinylife]

Thank you 🥰

[@markhawthorn7438]

I'm sure you know this ... but, in case you don't: if you know you are going to be using the same paint for a second coat in a day or two, and you want to save on washing the brush, wrap the bristle end tightly in cling film. It slides neatly off the brush when you are ready to go again and the brush - normally - acts as if you hadn't stopped painting. It'll last for several days that way - which is helpful if you happen to be of a procrastinory (?) nature.

[@yvonnebailey24]

Love the hair.cant believe how much Jo has grown x

[@thehealthjunkie8996]

Oh gosh I’m totally fed up with all this rain, just torrential too and cold. Can’t wait for proper spring!! At the boat is feeling a bit warmer to me as this was my first winter which I have to say struggled with but got through. Well done guys. Love watching you three!

[@thistinylife]

It's been a pretty tough winter so well done for making it through... They're not all that bad!! It does feel like Spring is pretty much here now... (Ignoring the current rain hammering on our roof 😅)

The posh pudding glass pots are fabulous for dips, especially as Pringles ( once you pop, you can't stop crisps 😂 ) lids fit snug. Bring on the sunshine, am desperately keen to get our no dig veg beds planted up. Happy corridor living,from another boater.

[@59kiwilass]

Great idea to recycle the old boots. Love Jouberts little squeals. He is growing fast. Good luck with the planting at your allotment. Hope your weather improves. We are half way through Autumn in New Zealand. Good job with the poem in the frame Gabby. It looks fabulous. Have a good week guys.

[@GrazieGoesBush]

Just love watching what you’re up to. You’re in a narrow boat I’m in a tiny house. I understand xx

[@ShazzAnne]

Robins and bluetits have to eat a quarter of their body weight every day just to survive. Mealworms are their favourite food so thats why they’re visiting you often. I just love them and like you encourage them to my bird feeders. Love your vlogs, such a lovely couple and little Joe is as cute as a button.

Wooo your hair looks much better jack! Joubert is so gorgeous, mwah . Love to you all Lisa xx❤

I live in a travel trailer. And my bed has hinges so that I can easily lift it up with ample storage beneath.

[@emummy2]

So glad you understand what YOUR motivation buttons are! Having just gone thru the great purge after a house fire and rebuilding a house 1/3 the size we continue to purge, ah-we call it refine, sounds better. Your set the timer is great -there is an end in sight and IF you want to continue you can. Persistance is the key. Don't wear yourselves out or you wont want to get back at it and keep it up. Here in the US we have the same kind of system- not trash, but I don't need to keep it. We have a yard and live outside of town so many things go onto the front yard and disappear thru the day. You get to set your own rules-but maybe only make decisions for your own stuff.....? Would a system of fold down shelves, tables, etc give you the flexibility your small space needs?

[@emmabutler6192]

Love the picture upcycle - and the gorgeous new squeal. ❤

Have you considered using some tile, or stone type product on the wallmbehind your cooking area? Not only is it fore proof but much easier to clean from cooking than wood and wont stain through time as wood will with that kind of use. ❤

No judgment from me on your kitchen. We did phase one of our kitchen remodel about thirty-five years ago. Phase two is still in limbo because we can't agree. Meanwhile we've raised five children and have now bought a retirement home. This crazy kitchen will be someone else's project!

Love your in the moment lifestyle and an allotment for future yield. Baby Jo is growing well , but my one concern was nothing yet to eat by 12? and feeding him. 😊

[@funkyllamalady]

Can I possibly ask if you have a permanent mooring or if you have to move every 2 weeks like some of the other channels I watch?

[@moffatt43]

Ooooo Gabby. Did someone take notice of someone saying something about Jacks Hair ? Or did the Robin try and make a nest in it Lol 😂. Looks Smart. Take no notice of the negative Nancy comments about Hello Fresh,we all understand how advertising works and how it helps your channel,my son regularly gets stuff from them too and he loves it,me I quite enjoy going shopping for the ingredients and seeing as I don’t have a new born child, I have a lot more time. I know I would have loved a food meal delivery service when my adult sons were kids,would have been a life saver 🤷‍♂️. I think Jack was right about your squished Hat being put in the charity box,the other wider brim one suited you better and it would be better for when you are cruising,especially if it rains .

[@scobb2739]

Great vlog. Gotta say the haircut really suits you. How are you finding the solar providing batteries with enough power ? I marvel that your boat does not have a genny for back up. Very interested in this. Are u going to Crick ? Best wishes.

[@ericathompson8146]

I just found your channel, whilst searching all things narrowboat related, what a gift! Just a few thoughts: first, are you allowed to grow stuff on the towpath next to your boat like that, second, do you stay moored up there all the time or do you continuously cruise (first video of yours Ive seen so i should probably check out the others for the answer to that), third, your baby is so sweet, what issues are there raising an infant on a narrowboat compared to in a house.

[@thistinylife]

Thank you for finding us and saying hi!! We have a permanent mooring and are allowed bits on the towpath to a certain extent (we do need a bit of a tidy up really!!!) We're going to do a video about how we've found raising a baby onboard in the next few weeks 😊 x
