We SOLD our house to live on a NARROWBOAT | EP 01

We sold our house to live on a #narrowboat. Are we crazy?
WE are Ula and Josh and at the end of 2022 we sold our home in #hastings to go in search of a more meaningful and enjoyable way to live our day to day lives.
Join us as we explore Britain's canals and adjust to a whole new way of living.
Can we stay warm over winter? Will we get stuck in the ice? Can we hack living in a #tinyhome ?
Stay tuned to find out.

Ulla and Josh. I’m 67 years old and a nana. Go for it and enjoy your life on the canals. I’m too old and live in Australia. Buy two things. #1 a metal garden rake for fishing leaves etc out of the locks and canals and #2 a Big Boy hand saw to get fallen wood to cut. You won’t regret buying these two items. And now you can tell all you friends that you live in the country !!! Lucky you. ❤️❤️

[@UlaandJosh]

Thank you for the recommendations Vicki, we shall definitely get our hands on a rake. Josh used to be a tree surgeon so we have many many saws on board already 😄 where shouts do you live in australia? I lived in aus for 15 years, from the age of 9 onwards! Loved it so much. Looking forward to visiting again one day. xx

Okay here goes… I have been a fan of Narrowboat KZbin channels for years. I am very selective about the ones I prefer. For a first vlog- my opinion - you nailed it. You kept my attention the entire time. Not too much music- just enough and your music selections were perfect- not too powerful but just the right piece for the moods. Your joy- priceless! Your appreciation for small moments- thank you. Your voice tone- spot on. Really- great vlog. You now have a fan from America. P S - you mentioned Milton Keynes- I have a daughter living in Buckingham- great market village.

[@UlaandJosh]

Oh Tanya, thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely message to us. We are having such a wonderful time so far! There have been hard moments for sure but we are enjoying it and feel so thankful to be living this life. Thank you for the encouragement… it means so much to us. Looking forward to seeing you again on here. Wishing you a lovely day x

[@lynmoore8355]

hey love this couple and yes they kept me interested, and just wanted to say I lived in Buckinghamshire Little Chalfont, Amersham and Chesham

[@brownnoise357]

Couldn't agree more. Way too many boater channels are ruined by the Music, plus some seem to rely on what is basi ally Soft Porn to get subscribers and likes. Annoying enough for me to unsubscrive. 🤔👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️

[@brownnoise357]

My parents used to live just outside of Bedford, and I stayed with them while waiting for the purchase of my Smallholding to be completed, loved Rollerskating around the Milton Keynes Shopping Centre when on the way to a Roller Skating rink and waiting for its opening time not sure, may have even in Newport Pagnell ? Met lots of nice people in the area as at the time CB Radio was big, and there was a great CB Radio Club called Alpha Zulu that had regular Meetings. Fun Times. Best Wishes. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Thanks Marcus… yep you’re right there, we really did throw ourselves in the deep end!!

I rarely comment on KZbin videos but yours came up this afternoon. I was struck by your joy. I sold my family home last year. My husband died from cancer 10 years ago. My 4 kids are all adults and have their own lives. I wanted to do something different with my life(I'm 61) so I now live in a bungalow in Lincolnshire with a lovely garden where I'm going to grow lots of flowers and I may get a part time job.. I'm not far from the beach one way and the other way is open countryside. Friends and family have said I'm 'brave' & 'inspirational', I feel very grateful to be able to live here. I'm looking forward to your adventures. Your joy and excitement is wonderful...Jane 💚🌻xx

Thank you for taking the time today to write such a lovely comment here Jane! And what a beautiful life it sounds as though you have built for yourself in Lincolnshire!

[@jhamilton7373]

Just a word of advice. Less revs from cold, you will kill your engine very quickly. The smoke at the start was blue smoke which is not great. Go longer on warming the glow plugs when it's so cold, the engine was cranking too long which either means poor compression or glow plugs not hot enough. Just run your engine as gently as you can from cold. I was cringing at the amout of revs you were running from dead cold. It sounded almost flat out.

[@UlaandJosh]

Hey Ulla and Josh 🤗 What a lovely couple you are! I've just put my flat on the market to also live my narrowboat dream. Folk have said I'm mad as I'm a solo, mid-50's woman but, I've done alright so far following my heart (and my gut!) so I'll just carry on 😆 Too much comfort gets dull! Plus, my dog Moo loves the canals and it's all about her - of course! Can't wait for more content. Your boat is gorgeous- and so is your voice Ulla. I checked out your other vids. Fingers crossed for some singing. Hugs and best wishes, Tracy 🙏

Ohhhhhhh Tracy, your comment has melted my heart. Thank you for taking the time to write such a heartfelt message. Well done you! Listening to one’s intuition can definitely be hard at times, especially when those around you are saying you are mad! We have been called crazy by many family members and friends… but I would much rather be crazy than bored and stuck in a life that is unfulfilling! We want adventure… and all that comes with it. Solo boating will be a blast and having Moo along with you to keep you company will be brilliant. Always listen to your heart Tracy.

Brill blog. Great to see you navigate your new life.
