Hi, we are Rozzie & Rob with our lovely cockapoo's Ralph & Rosie. We have given up the rat race, sold our house and have bought a new narrowboat, Thistle & Rose. Our vlogs are showing our learns as we go from bricks and mortar to life on the water. Join us as we literally learn the ropes of becoming continual cruisers on England's 2500 miles of canals & rivers.
Our vlogs are ideal if you have ever wondered what it's like to live on a narrowboat or are considering to make the leap and buy your very own narrowboat. There's always some humour, lots of mistakes and always a few drinks being poured. Subscribe to our channel, ask us a question or just watch our videos as there's something for everyone.

Another very enjoyable vlog, thank you. Love your banter and conversation and have forgotten to say previously that I love the rooster and gun that signal the next day. Great touch!
Rob will be pleased! đ thank you for watching
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful video and scenery. I love this area. You're a lovely couple. Keep going. Thanks again.
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching âșïž
Another great video, thanks. One question, I've never seen you in your weed hatch - do you ever get anything stuck on your prop? .. in the past month I've had clothes, plastic bags and 20 feet of rope around mine, maybe I'm just unlucky?
We have been very lucky! We once had a fender rope wrapped round the prop, and that was shown in a previous video. But rarely have anything! We do check from time to time. Thanks for watching âșïž
Really enjoyed the vlog x
Thank you đ
Beautiful video Thank you

Yes what summer âïž don't know what to wear loving your vlogs as always â€ïž

Nice vlog, and nice view of my boat as you turned at Barbridge. Thanks for slowing down đ. Don't recall there was ever a water point at Barbridge, but you missed one at Calvelly. . Look forward to your next vlog.
Ah maybe we made a mistake thinking that! The Calvelly one had a queue đ© Which boat were you?! Thanks for watching
Thanks for the lovely vlog.
Glad you enjoyed it âșïž thank you
Thanks for the tour. It's lovely. Noticed your wedding photos on the wall - and also a framed record. I imagine that's "your song." So what's the song? Cheers.
Well guessed, our first dance! âThis guys in love with youâ Thanks for watching âșïž
I watched one of your video from about a year ago, where you talked about your decision to buy a narrow boat. I'm in Australia, so we don't have canals, or anything like it. But what caught my eye watching these videos was the scenery, and the laid-back idea of cruising. I started watching "Foxes Afloat" around 3 years ago, and what I liked about Colin and Shaun's channel was the amount of history they added to their narrative. I'm sure they got it straight out of the Nicholson guide, but it certainly added a "how, why where, and when" to the video, which made it even more interesting. Love the channel. Keep doing what you are doing. And don't forget to get the paint out.
Thank you for joining us again, we try and add some history now and then. We watching the foxes too! Thanks for watching âșïž
I enjoy the landscapes and the townscapes.
Thanks for watching âșïž
It's been a very Strange summer this year cool and windy. Have a great weekend đ
I know, letâs hope it gets better! Thanks for watching âșïž
Is there a down side to being a continuous cruiser? How to banks, credit card companies etc cope with you not having a permanent address, also what happens if you need to see a GP? It does look like a great lifestyle but just wondering if thereâs a downside
We use a family members address for these so not a problem. There are also companies that provide an address if that isnât an option. Thanks for watching âșïž
We have had 100 degree weather here in Fl for two months. We don't even go out. UK is having a strange summer. Maybe Sept will be hot for you.
Hot! Yeah here is hoping! Thanks for watching âșïž

Fit like and Ey up. Very changeable weather for you. Good idea that your are going to slow down. 7 hours was quite a change from your planned 4. Take care both of you and enjoy your pubs!
Thank you! Really hoping the weather gets better đđŒ
You are freezing and i am burning up in the heat index of 115
Lucky you! Thanks for watching âșïž
IM WATCHING YOU IN JULY AND IT ANT MUCH BETTER
I know đ© Thanks for watching
First time Iâve heard you mention that you work. What do you do for a job?
I work remotely in customer service, only part time. Thanks for watching âșïž
Wouldn't you think that the hire companies would instruct the new boaters to drive slower. It seems so common a complaint from others. June has been a rotten month, and so far July is proving the same. Hopefully, you all get some of the few days we got here in the midlands. Toodle pips!
Their instruction is always so brief I imagine a lot of it is forgotten. I totally agree about the weather, we can only hope it gets better! Thanks for watching âșïž
It looks like the humidity was high and the wind was blowing very strongly and it was getting cold but you enjoyed it so much it looks like the video is very nice we enjoyed it very much
The great British weather đ€Ș Thanks for watching
good vid cranking it on the cut thanks lee
Cheers Lee đ»
Sorry you missed the Museum. We were there last year for two days and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the many buildings and fantastic exhibits. Had no trouble although someone appeared to be permanently moored on the water point. We double moored whilst we filled up and scrambled over the other boat. Not our fault if we disturbed anyone. Tip for Chester Locks: read the instructions!!!!!! I didn't. Got the water levels wrong going down and nothing works. Had to refill all the locks and start again as per the clearly written and clearly displayed instructions. Everyday is an adventure on the cut!!
Yes it was a shame, but there will always be a next time! Sorry to hear about the locks! Every day is an adventure that is for sure! Thanks for watching âșïž
I totally feel your pain. I have Acrophobia too. I always tell people, I'm not scared of falling, I'm scared of the sudden stop at the bottom !!!
Itâs not nice is it! Thanks for watching âșïž
Another Great Vlog Thank You So Much for that, as I can't stand football taking over on the tv Regards Dave đ
đ€Łđ€Ł oh dear! Glad we can help! Thanks for watching âșïž
Sorry you had problems at Ellesmere Port, we have been several times with no trouble at all. Perhaps stay in the museum it would have been safe.
I guess we were unlucky. Thanks for watching âșïž

How much did it cost you for the boat and restoration and everything?
The boat was new so no restoration. A new boat will cost anywhere between ÂŁ130,000 and ÂŁ200,000. Thanks for watching âșïž
@@thenarrowboatgoodlife youâre both amazing! Would love to introduce you to an amazing brand of essential oils that I am working with one day. They would go down an absolute treat on your boat plus you could earn an extra income through your you tube. Let me know if youâre interested in hearing about them x
You look cold ! X
It was cold đ€Ș
Are there fish in the canals? and generally, what is the depth of the water?
Yes there's lots of different fish and fishing is very popular. Generally they are about 4-5 feet in the centre. If you watch vlog 44 there's footage of someone stood up in the canal to give you an idea. Thanks for watching. đđ»

Bacon & Black Pudding. A match made in heaven!
100% agree! It was so tasty, thanks for watching âșïž

It was very tasty! Rob is great with the camera! Thanks for watching âșïž

Hope you got some! Thanks for watching âșïž
Lot of travellers living around E.Port
Thanks for watching âșïž
Such a lovely canal - we cruised to Chester many times. We moored at Anderton so it was a great cruise always. We moored before the lock just before The Old Oak and walked up to Beeston Castle. On the way down the most incredible storm broke and the only cover was a row of oak trees. Once it slowed we made a dash back to the boat. Having dried off and into dry clothes in less than half an hour I have a photo of my John sitting on the towpath cleaning our copper in brilliant sunshine and clear blue sky. You will really love the rest of the cruise to Chester ( our favourite city) Make sure to do the City Walls walk it is fantastic
Chester was great! And we loved the city walls. What lovely memories you have âșïž Thanks for watching
