Thank you Kath. Funny enough, I have literally just stocked up on wine and Paul has bought me a nice bottle for spending my weekend fixing his Mac. We love the boating life and love sharing our experiences which we hope will help people thinking of making the move but also, give people an insight who just like narrowboating. I often walked down the canal and wanted to know what the boats inside were like and who lived in them. Thanks again for your lovely encouragement. Take care and have a great Christmas too x

Very open and honest answering viewers questions. Glad you have both adjusted to living on a narrowboat in a marina. I used to live around 5 miles from the Hurleston Junction end of the Llangollen arm of the Shropshire Union Canal and as a keen walker have just about covered every inch of it on foot over the years. You will enjoy cruising the Llangollen. You will pass through some lovely towns on the way such as Whitchurch and Ellesmere and Chirk. I Just hope you have a head for heights when you cross the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and don't suffer from claustrophobia as you will also have to navigate the 421 metre long Chirk tunnel. Take care and best wishes 👍👍

What a lovely Q&A session. It felt like we were all in the same cosy warm room having a good old chat over a glass of wine. It was so nice to hear more from Anthony he seemed to really relax into the conversation - a nice glass of red works wonders 🍷 You’re both very natural considering you’re talking straight into a camera/phone? There’s a thought for a future ‘chat’ show us a ‘behind the scenes’ glimpse of how you set up a vlog onboard. As someone living in a 3 bed house I so admire the courage you have to make a new and different life for yourselves. I shed a tear when Anthony said that life isn’t about ‘material stuff’. We all tie ourselves down and lose what life should be about. Bravo you two! I just need to turn the clock back by about 20 years and follow your example.

very interesting....from what you say the marina is the highest cost....look forward to many more of your vlogs...at least living in the UK is far better than the USA at present....have finally watched all of your vlogs you and several others have kept me sane during this lock-down...now to find another one to view...look forward to following your journey from now on....

Thank you for watching and if you are new to our small channel a big welcome. Glad you enjoyed. I guess the marina and food are our biggest cost but we don’t plan to be permanently be in a marina, just in winter. The U.K. isn’t doing that great either at the moment but here is to a better 2021. Take care and stay safe 😀

LOL, I really did enjoy that vlog. Really seems like we are getting to know who you both are. Keep the format in mind for a revisit in a few weeks or so. It really was a worthwhile time hearing your stories and opinions. Oh, and hearing Dexter and his opinion of the whole deal LOL Not sure who is doing the titles but when will you change the closing title so that it says "our channel" instead of "out Channel" ;)

Anthony thank you for giving Paul a shake over continuing KZitem 😁 over the past few weeks your own style for content has been shining through, it’s also really interesting to see how the pandemic is shaping the journey you are on, the focus on art being the obvious change. Is there a restriction on how long you can spend in a marina before the mooring needs converting to a residential mooring and council tax kicks in? On other channels I’ve seen breakdown of costings including winter marina costs but haven’t seen council tax. Not asking as think you should be paying and aren’t, just genuinely interested in how it works.

Hi Sam. Thank you so much. He was just feeling a little down because of all the IT issues and am pleased he has got passed that. I think it maybe similar to non residential caravans where by you have to either move to another mooring in the same marina or you have to be out for at least 2 weeks. I read somewhere too about it depends if the mooring you are on is classed as residential. Guess for us, once spring is on us we won’t be here and so doesn’t really affect us. Glad you are enjoying the vlogs. Take care 😀

@@anthonysmith-storey9247 I thought you did a wonderful job. Confidence in front of a camera is not all that easy. I struggle myself as I’m not really a big talker. I’m a little quite and reserved. I’m much better academically, like yourself. KZitem is a wonderful platform though where you can build communities with like minded people. You can be who you want to be and you can make wonderful friends. It’s a place where creativity is encouraged and you can have a positive impact on people’s lives. Your vlog is one such channel. You guys are incredible, kind, honest and positive role models. 💙

Just come across your channel Paul and Anthony, and of course, have subscribed. So been doing a bit of binge watching ( need to go to sleep now lol ) Particularly enjoyed this vlog, as I felt, I hadn't heard much from Anthony at all, so it was lovely you both chatting as you did. I worked in the NHS, Bradford Royal and St Lukes for over 20 years Managerial not clinical ) and loved it. Anyway, im wafting - very much loom forward to watching many more of your vlogs. tape care.

Hey Terry. I did 2 of my PGCerts at Bradford Uni and had a look round Bradford Hospital. Glad you have found the channel and thanks for the sub. I used to be in management too (12 years) but decided I wanted to return to clinical so completely retrained after many years in MRI. Hope you are good and who knows you may well bump into us as we head into Yorkshire. Best wishes Ant ❤️

Hi there, thoroughly enjoyed your vlog. So open and honest both of you, looking very relaxed and giving us personal insight into your new life. I Wondered about the internet connection and quality of your TV reception when away from the marina? Hope you will give us some more “drone” footage of countryside and surrounding area. Take care, stay well & safe. ✨

Cheers Michael. Glad you enjoyed the slightly different vlog from our usual ones. Narrow boat life has always fascinated me too. We used to walk down the canal wondering what each boat inside looked like and who lived in them. Now we know lol. We love it and have found everyone so far to be very helpful, kind and friendly. Something I think is getting lost nowadays with people being too busy to develop the old community spirit. Hope you are well. Take care and best wishes 😃

@@anthonysmith-storey9247 thanks Anthony. I totally understand what you mean about looking in on boats. I live not far from Berkhamsted on the Grand Union, and often walk along the canal path with our dogs, love wondering what the boats inside are like, and adore the smell of the stoves burning. It seems a very idyllic life. As you commented, people these days seem to be in a rush and forget the important things in life. Since the first lockdown I have returning to walking, and eve started doing the odd wild camp, never done camping in my life and love the simplicities of life. Great hearing about your baking, I would love to be able to cook more ! Hope your both having a great Saturday, and that you have a bottle of red ready for the evening ahead lol.

@@michaeldesouza4911 thanks Michael. Paul has done some wild camping in the lakes funnily enough. He loved it. He was hoping to see a cloud inversion for his photography. Walks in nature are definitely good for the soul and mental health in general. All the things you mention about boating is exactly what we loved when walking down the canals. Take care both of you and stay safe. 😀
