Thank you Kayleigh for another lovely vlog. Where are you now?

Thank you 😊 Mercia Marina

Hi Kayleigh - Mrs Lowe from NBHS here - lovely to see you enjoying the canals - we are meeting up with Matt on the Llangollen canal next week to do the aqueduct I can't spell let alone pronounce - hope we pass you sometime on our travels on Nb Harebell. Best wishes, Jane

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

Hi Jane that’s mental! Thank you for commenting. We are also headed towards the Llangollen canal September/ October time. Would be great to see you 😊 do you own a narrowboat? I’ll watch out for you 😊

[@janelowe6416]

@@LiveaboardLifestyle Yes - we had a boat built last year but due to covid restrictions haven't been able to go out much - currently moored near Chester and heading out to meet Matt next week - we'll look out for you on the cut!

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

Awesome! Hopefully we will bump into each other 😊

[@borderreiver90]

One thing I love about canals is the ever changing scenery....

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

Exactly! Thanks for your comment 😊

[@ieonking1053]

Don't you get lonely living on your boat, and would you ever go back to living in a flat, or house, you have that chap with his blog, cruising the cut, he lives on his own and always looks happy, it must be the life to live!

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

No never I think you have to be comfortable being on your own though. I’ve travelled and lived in different countries on my own so I’m good! It’s an ace lifestyle but definitely not for everyone!

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

Hi no I don’t I love this lifestyle! It’s ace 😊

[@francishughes5205]

Nice one Kayleigh. Boat is looking very handsome and you drive her very well. Lovely cruising with you all.

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

Thank you George and Jenny! Hope your both well 😊

[@Peter-nv3wu]

Good to see you back again Kayleigh, hope you had a good break with your parents. Sitting in the bow like you were away from everything, with the sides of the canal growing wild you really could drift off to wherever you wanted to be for a while. Sadly like all good thing's it comes to an end when civilisation suddenly intrudes, as the traffic noise soon proved. On a totally different subject, the locks you went through looked rather narrow with little room to spare. Are narrow locks like this the "norm" on many canals ? Do you know the width of No 3 lock and what is the width of your boat please ? After seeing the beautiful scenery you regularly pass through I have to admit that I really can't wait to get everything sorted and get out there cruising too !

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

Thank you Peter 😊 yes on a lot of the locks are very narrow. Unless your on a wide canal that’s a whole new experience going through double locks. Hope your well!

[@valerieburnett8930]

Lovely cruise. May I ask a couple of questions? Can you recommend your coffee machine. It looks like it froths the milk properly instead of just big bubbles! What make is it? Also how do you manage with your bike on the back. Is it easy enough to get off when you want to use it? We were thinking about folding bikes but I don’t really like them and they’re very overpriced! Hope you enjoyed your break.

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

Hi Valerie, thank you and off course. Yes I would highly recommend it’s a Sage Barista Express. Yes I find it very easy to get on and off it’s a great setup. 😊

[@valerieburnett8930]

@@LiveaboardLifestyle sorry to go on but I’ve never seen one that does the milk so nicely. Is yours BES875UK.

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

No problem, just checked yes this is the correct part number. I bought mine from John Lewis it’s an investment but you won’t regret it! 😊

[@martinworrall5888]

I hope you did not have too much pain at the dentist. You really look in your element at the helm 👍

[@rungfang27]

Do you know of any Americans that do this full time, ones not married to a UK citizen. Would love to do this in about a year or so. But would not want to buy a boat and have to leave the country every 3 months just to reenter again.

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

I don’t sorry. Perhaps you could take out a long lease? I do know Australians who own a boat and visit a few times per year. They prefer that to hiring as when they arrive they have all they need not sure if that helps?

[@Daydreameruk]

I’m really enjoying your vlogs, only found you last week. So the roads, the trains etc. Are they annoying breaking up your tranquil idyl or are they sometimes a bit of a comfort that their noise signifies life beyond the towpath? Always wondered this.

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

Thank you Cara, glad you have you on board! No you don’t really hear them and it’s part of continuous cruising 😊

[@markc3884]

Are those your 2 new solar panels ? If they are, what is each one rated at ?

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

Yes each one is 370 watt they’re ace!
