the magic (and challenges) of winter • living on a narrowboat

Winter is definitely the most challenging time to be a continuous cruiser living full time on a narrowboat, but it also has some amazing perks - the scenery is unreal and the canals are super quiet. Sometimes it feels like you get them all to yourself. In this vlog we're wrapping up our journey back to Braunston covering 27 (rather wet) miles over two days (that's a lot). Feat. a stop at @RugbyboatsCoUk and Bumble :) Hope you enjoy coming along with us!

Next week: we FINALLY hit up the legendary Braunston Bakes. Also... it's Christmas (I know, I KNOW, but go with it).

🧍🏼‍♀️About me:
Hiya, I'm Kris. At the end of 2022 I moved from a flat in London to live, work, and travel full time around the UK on a 70ft narrowboat with my boyfriend Andrew and our cat Matilda.

You should be very proud of the body of work you’ve created, the effort you put into editing is very much appreciated.

[sharoncameron]

Ok I’ve officially binge watched all of your videos since discovering your channel 2 weeks ago.
Yours is the type of channel where I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers, the videos are so well made and you guys are just so funny, plus there’s the delightful miss Matilda.

Best YouTube narrow boat videography and voice … bar none . ❤

Matildas little pawing moves for fish and tickles are adorable. Another wonderful video, a treat for the eyes and I am craving a takeaway

Visually stunning. Gentle humour. Extra Matilda. Pure escapism. More please.

The standard just keeps getting better! Astonishing, given they started from such a high level. It proves the saying "Quality before Quantity".

[rachelsmith]

Matilda completely stole the show in this vlog! She's adorable!

[xastephen]

So happy to see this pop up in my feed tonight. It's simply the best channel on YouTube.

You’ve been missed! Love a cosy narrowboat vlog. Got my tea, got my sweets - evening sorted. x

[lolitalocita]

I love when my FYP actually suggests new (for me) and great content like yours! I’ve automatically taken a liking to you both and especially Matilda. I’m about to binge your channel!
Cheers to you

God damn it, the Matilda the cat ending was the BEST ending. Yes, she is fabulous and deserves all the fuss:)

[michalwisniowski]

I appreciate you being the only boaters on youtube (as far as I can tell) to take coffee seriously, including having an espresso machine and grinder. I've often wondered if one of those pulls too much electricity for a boat but clearly it's fine. Also, that morning light is spectacular.

[boydtaylor]

Such gorgeous videography (is it a word -it is now) and the appropriate sound tracks that fit so well. It is a constant delight!
