Loved the video and realised you navigated past my Nan & Grandad's old house set between Bow Creek and the Limehouse Cut alongside Bow Locks. Grandad had been in the Merchant Navy, then he worked as security for the locks in the 1970s. They lived in the white house next to the security building.

Perfect! We’d love to have chickens one day for our own eggs.

All the best bits of Hackney are on the Lea, but it's far more lush and lively in summer. Further up you are surrounded by nature reserves, the River Stort, which branches off at Fieldes Lock is amazing in summer with rolling hills, farmland and marshes.

Yeah we both said we’d save it for the summer - it was a good shout as it ended up flooding badly a week after we left!

Yeah mines 2k a year with water and plug in bang in centre of Leeds 🤣. I have no problem with CRT fleecing the Londoners though someones gotta pay for the actual nice canals up North ;)

My wife's aunty and uncle own a dairy farm and they get theirs straight from the cow and it's done them and their family no harm 👍

[@ItsOhJoe]

Amazing! So fresh ☺️

[@andrewallen9993]

As they are drinking the milk they are probably happy to have the large expense of having their cows regularly tested for the diseases transmitted to humans via cows milk. So they are the ones at risk if this isn't done rather than their customers. Vets are expensive and so are laboratories.

[@md2320]

[@dcallan812]

I lived on the Grand union canal at Hunton Bridge, not far from Watford. I helped run the Kings Head pub there. Later I moved to Teddington on the Thames and often cycled into central London. The waterway are a great way to travel no cars or busses. . 👍👍

[@BoatTime]

loved this one guys and seeing you go through all the joys of london boating 😅 definitely don’t think we miss it! You should’ve gone on the wall at limehouse basin, it’s free for 24 hours! our fav spot. yaaay look forward to seeing you on the grand union! 🎉❤️

Oh dear a touch of manflu but you soldiered on ! Great video. I was hoping you were headed up the river lea navigation I was brought up just by Pickett's Lock (Alfie's lock) in the late 50's early 60's while my dad was an engineer building Deephams sewage works there. I go back for a look around every few years when in the area it would have been good to see from the canal perspective. Your tour.of east london was fantastic and very much enjoyed the dinnertimes, cooking and toddy (might have been on the other vid) but great to have a double helping this week!

[@ItsOhJoe]

Yeah we’d love to visit the Lee but just as well we didn’t as we missed this bad floods over there luckily. We’d like to do it one summer to do it justice!

[@leesmusic1]

2:40 I actually swam in that lock when I was a kid, probably about 1986, now I think we must have lost our minds! Victoria Park was a lot different back then, the bit where the cafes are near there was an old boat storage house, with boats that used to be a available for hire probably in the seventies. The two dog statues were perfectly intact in those days, can’t believe what happened to them in later years 😢. It was completely un-hipster in those days.

[@lesleybrown-ct4hi]

Hope you are fully recvered soon Joe. Love your videos

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you yes feeling better now but I’ve put my back out! 😂😂

[@ames477]

New to the channel - love it! We just did our first one week trip for hire on the Avon&Kennett and are hooked. Your videos bring back sweet memories. Q: Hello Fresh (we use here in US at our home) and mail as well - how do you provide an address for delivery? It seems a marvelous plan - minimal waste and storage requirements.

[@lloydjohnson4312]

That was cool at 22:52 you went past Donal McIntyre sitting on the bench i often see him on the canal,yeh mooring prices are crazy in London.

[@stevenginnever5343]

Ay up you two, just started binging on your videos.Got to say you come across as a great couple. Having just watched your London trip, I was wondering if the wrath of Khan and ULEZ has targeted you guys. It can't be long, he's determined to destroy nostalgia and peoples enjoyment at all costs. Happy new year, and let the adventures continue.

[@ItsOhJoe]

They seem to be tackling wood stoves which indirectly really affects boaters as I’d say 90%+ of boats rely on solid fuel stoves for heating. No mention of diesel engines as of yet but watch this space

[@markturner4147]

Subscribed and all I can say guys is that you will love the Midlands!

[@dashelyc]

Raw milk is a State by state regulations in the USA, as such in a couple states you can buy from small supermarkets but others the only way is to pay in to a co-op to "own or upkeep part of" the cow.

[@gavinralph2910]

if you are looking for a new adventure (if you have not already done it) try the River Wey, you can get all the way south past Guildford to Godalming. One for the better weather when the Thames is not in Flood - think you need to buy a separate license for the Wey.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Yeah we’d like to do that one day! We’re heading north towards the midlands first!

[@sizzlebird1]

Happy New year! Enjoying your journey's, I just would like to note with the unpasteurised milk, do do boil it... I had a family member die from drinking unpasteurised milk so its no joke. Good health to the two of you. Ps, the music snipets are spot on

[@sizzlebird1]

Then again - you're right about gut health. Personally I try to get it from yoghurt, good way to get those bacteria for the gut which sometimes are added after because I assume they are burnt off when boiling the milk.. making yoghurt is quite fun, simpler than you'd think!

[@sizzlebird1]

Dunno about 12 things to cook in 2024 but I reckon lentils, of any kind are versatile and great. Stews, curries, nut roasts. Whatever really. Red lentils particularly because they cook quicker, so less energy required to cook them. Green lentils also great, and split yellow.

[@TizerHare]

Another great Video. Poor Danni, I know the air in London alone can give anyone the Squits. If I struggled opening lock gates I'd have to invent some kind of lever plank that uses the wedges on the ground, one of you will pull your back out one day. Safe journey up to the Midlands.

Good handling in those windy locks. As a sailor my favourite expression is: Every boat is a sail boat but the power boats don't know it ;-) I gather that most narrow (long) boats do not have bow thrusters(?) On Jan 7, in hindsight, the UK , and you two, have had atrocious weather the past few weeks.

[@ItsOhJoe]

😂😂 yeah definitely been a sailboat recently! Some newer boats do but in general not many do have thrusters

I used to work for an economic historian (Robert Fogel, Nobel Prize 1993). One of the things I remember from that time was a discussion about the 1850’s swill milk scandal in New York City. Swill milk was produced by miasmic cows fed left over mash from whiskey distilleries. Many infants died from being fed this milk. One result was that that all milk had to be pasteurized. It wasn’t really necessary, however, as long as the milk wasn’t adulterated.

[@ItsOhJoe]

That’s interesting. You can see where people’s fears of unpasteurised milk come from long after the issue that caused it to be necessary!

[@fosterkennel649]

In california you can buy raw goat or cow milk no problems. The standards for processing raw milk are much higher. Blessings to you and yours coming at you from Southern Oregon

[@ItsOhJoe]

Very interesting! Thank you for watching ☺️

[@davemccracken3457]

The laws about raw milk in the US vary by state. Here in Texas it's only legal to buy it direct from a dairy.

[@issabelle17]

In Washington State we can buy raw milk at grocery stores and health food stores.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Interesting how different each state is!

[@leecallaghan2202]

Nice promotion! You are really selling HF! This is a really good insight into life on the river which in London on our canal network is very hard to do obviously. More so when it’s been minus 7. It’s also the pace and range of subjects covered on this channel that make it so interesting. The tech on the boat is also complicated and tricky to deal with- so that adds complexity. One thing i would say is you both need to protect your lower backs more. There’s loads of twisting, pulling and pushing, all of which over time can pull on muscle groups and result in a sudden over stretching of key tendons. Before you do these sorts of movements - try and warm up and stretch. Pilates would be ideal- look into on-line classes. You only need mats a ball and a band to do it. That will prevent you getting as many injuries- especially on the locks and gates as well as rope pulling. Good luck both of you- some great content and camera work/ sound here.

Did you say that you only use the inverter for the cooker ignition? I think even an idle inverter is a draw on the batteries. Just use a match or lighter for the cooker?

[@ItsOhJoe]

We tend to leave the inverter off if not in use, we use it for the washing machine etc but yeah we just flick it on to turn the oven off rather than getting on our knees - a bit lazy really 😂😂

[@sknight1963]

Have you guys thought about using a semi-permanent type camera mount? Noticed the security camera mount and had that thought. It would prevent these expensive disasters. Possibly some sort of quick connect thing. My heart goes out when these things happen to you guys.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Yeah definitely something we could do. It’s just awkward as we have to keep picking it up to film out surroundings

[@Falney]

I wouldn't drink unpasteurized milk. Tb is a problem in the UK right now, especially in the south and I believe you can get it through milk

[@cailinhall8609]

Unpasteurised all the way yum yum.

[@Falney]

@@cailinhall8609 it's certainly tasty but approx 8% of the UK herds have tb, most of which are in the south, iss too high of a risk imo. Especially when tb is one of the deadliest deseases.

[@lisadefries6718]

Agreed. Forget raw milk . Organic pasteurised best I believe. TB is around and takes months and months even with antibiotics to get rid off . There are a couple of human strains that are untreatable with antibiotics

[@aroncheek5092]

You're quite close to where I live , I used to fish the docks at rotherhithe and at Shadwell basin , I've not fished the canals but I do keep up with the canal and river trust. Central London is crazy and really expensive now day's

[@ynys_mon6928]

I haven’t looked into it, but are there guarantees that the cows that are supplying raw milk are inoculated against tuberculosis? The main reason that milk started to be pasteurised in the last century was due to people catching tuberculosis from cows milk. Tuberculosis was a major cause of death.

[@ItsOhJoe]

It’s from a local family run farm, I guess there’s always risk associated with it but I trust this milk

[@yayaceravieja1461]

​@@ItsOhJoe, the farmer himself may trust it. But bovine tuberculosis is becoming increasingly prevalent in this country (way more than the general public can imagine). The fact that a farm didn't have any positive animals last year doesn't mean they won't have any on the next test. Drinking raw milk would be a sad, stupid and completely avoidable way of getting TB on the 21st Century. Treatment is not too effective, by the way. That's why when a farmer also has infected cats or dogs (from giving them raw milk) they are told to put them to sleep.

[@toriladybird511]

Just got that nasty bug you were incredibly lucky I am on day three of the doubles.. 😢 my poor daughter is 2 days further along. Boat life must be great to beat the bugs ❤❤

[@k9nick]

Pasteurization is all about striking a balance. Supply healthy food to a mass market with a degree of safety. That's the balance. Little loss (nutrition) with a massive gain. (Food safety)

Nice! Been watching since around sept last year while I was shopping, finally scored myself a little fixer upper called sardine. Over spent a bit but I sort of moved in in my head and once I’d lived that life in a day dream that was it so 🤷🏼‍♂️ what are you gonna do. Finalised in early December and spent the Xmas break hauling arse up the Grand union canal/oxford/coventry to the Trent and Mersey in the midlands. Really enjoyed myself but I’m solo and theres a couple of big flights! 13 in one day I think was my record!! Shattered. Anyway I’ll be up here doing the Reno so when you make it up if you come this far I’ll comment again and see if I can shout you lunch, your Reno videos have been nothing short of inspiring so if I can compensate your efforts with food and beer then I’d be delighted.

Narrowboats are so much more expensive than renting a normal flat, it sucks, you seriously have to love the activity itself to want to do it. It's a shame, because I would love more canals in London even as a landlubber.

[@C0NR098]

Renting a flat is wayyyy more expensive and you don't even own it. Buying a boat is a better investment, you just need to have the mental resilience and know-how to be able to put up with the difficulties of living on the boat.

The alternative to a boat as challenging as it is at times is a 25 year hire purchase house which is a mortgage or rent. We go to work to pay massive living expenses so we should also put some work into reducing our living expenses on a boat.
