Narrowboat Life V Living in a House #200

I return to my full time life on my narrowboat after a holiday in a house and it makes me think about how different the two lifestyles are and which one I prefer. What do I decide? Take care 🌻🦋

It's always lovely to hear from you and I will get back to you.

I do hope you decide to remain on Alice Grace for Much Longer as we all benefit from your peaceful vlogs, your nature walks and poems. You would be greatly missed! !

I really love seeing all your colored pencils laying out so carefully arranged and ready for service. You prepare your tea and biscuits carefully, too, and then open your journal and turn through the previous pages so we can enjoy their beauties again. This is such a peaceful and restful part of your video. Thank you for creating a pleasant and "mindful" time for so many.

Your filming of nature is amazing, and together with the music makes it such a relaxing experience. Thank you for another wonderful video.

Your smile says it all. You are truly made for this lifestyle. Yes, “the brown canal is right for me” indeed. And Zephyr too. And kudos to Mr. Mindful as well. Though he remains hidden in the background, I’m sure he contributes a lot of support to the wonderful vlogs you produce. I am so grateful that you share your lifestyle. I’ll never be able to do what you do ( we filled in most of our canals in the US). But how wonderful to cruise along with you via YouTube.

My husband surprised me with your 2023 journal for my birthday this week, so I wanted to tell you how lovely it is! Thank you for creating such a beautiful and inspiring work! And great video as always. :)

Glad you, Zeph & Alice Grace will continue your adventures a bit longer! Yours is one of the very best channels here 🙂

The contrast between the two lifestyles is striking, and it makes me appreciate the unique charm of living on a boat. I've decided that the peace and freedom of narrowboat life truly align with my heart.

“Never give up on a dead stick”. Best gardening advice ever 👏👏👍😀

3 things the world needs are biscuits on an opened book, lots more people like Maureen and a teapot at hand ready to join the biscuit. Im off to buy more biscuits thank you for making these videos.

Watching your videos is so cathartic. You are so gifted in word and art. I said it before and Ill say it always...I'm smitten. You have shown me a new way to exist on the blue marble...wish I had known about it when I was young. Be well, be safe.

Thank you. I lived on my yacht for seven years. Water is life and nothing can live without it. X

When you held the Bonio up and the little paw appeared was just too cute!

Hi Vanessa
We always look forward to your video.
We have 2 games we play
1. Guess what you are going to draw
2. Guess how many biscuits you have with your cup of tea (or will it be cake or fudge).

We also noticed today that your coolant looks to be below the minimum level instead of between the minimum and maximum lines on the tank.

Hope you have a good week!

Stunning wild life photography, as always. One day you must do a segment on how you find and photograph these small delicate forms of life. I can do goats, but the insects are another world. Thank you for the enjoyment.

Thank you, your video is spell binding with life and nature, I loose myself on your journey along the river and banks . Keep going its magical God Bless Kate a fellow boater .

[butchieblock]

Your videos are one of the few that I do not watch on 1.25 playback speed!! Not to mention that I re-watch them quite often as well! And I always pick up new tidbits every time!! Thank you for the joy!!!😊

[pilpelet]

For you there seems to be no question. You are suited to narrowboat life. You keep fit, get to view all the wildlife... Of course, there are advantages to living in a house but they are outweighed by those of living on a boat. I say - carry on doing so as long as you can!

[dino]

Welcome back to boat life, I can see why it is more relaxing and peaceful than the everyday rush rush rush like most of us, excellent job again! 🐕‍🦺

[neildaly]

Thanks for another excellent video Vanessa. The editing is great, the music is spot on...well done. I love the goats, and the interactions with everyone o the tow path when you were gardening...and Zephyr of course. Thanks again.

The one word that comes to mind the most is "peaceful". My observations from watching your video and others is, It is a slower life, but ironically a more active one. It's good for you physically, mentally, emotionally, and even perhaps spiritually. Engaging nature like you do is part of why it's so healthy. Cities use technology and industry to push nature away and keep it at a distance, while your lifestyle embraces nature and lives with it. It's pretty wonderful really, when you think about it, that in today's world it's possible to live life this way. What a blessing it is that you share this with us, and in such a beautiful and engaging way!
