  • Hi we are Rozzie, Rob & Ralph the nutty cockapoo and 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.
    Our music is from www.epidemicsound.com

    I love history, as well. The Google shots and quick canal lesson is the kind of info I love that you add in.

    Like that you show the un-glamorous bits too! Narrowboating isn’t all G&T’s on deck in the glimmering sunshine - some times there’s weeds to tackle

    We do a couple of dishes in the Southern US. One is Low County Boil (new potatoes, fresh Corn on the cob, sausage, fresh caught shrimp and blue crabs! Yum!) The other is called BIG POT, it can be soup, stew or anything you fancy.
    Do you have Crock Pots in the UK? One would be great on a boat. Slow cooks all day.
    THANK GOD YOU KEPT YOUR CAR,!!!!!

      Sounds great! We cook lots of dishes onboard. We can’t always have appliances switched on unless the engine is on as it would drain the batteries. But our log burner acts as a “slow” way to cook and it’s free 😀

    Hi guys im just searching through as many video as i can where the canal boats have passed through or stopped in Brinklow just to see if i have been caught on my kayak paddling past your canal boat, the likely hood of that is slim but i kayak the stretch between coventry canal all the way past barby marina my home turf route.
    Im the Brinklow kayaker and ive met a few vloggers passing through brinklow latest one was kevin the country gent few weeks ago i was lucky enough to bump into him on the tump and got a feature on his video made my day but pity i wasnt on my kayak at the time.
    Also met foxes afloat shaune and colin were great. Many more ...😊
    Anyway please visit again soon the Brinklow community love yo see new faces and i am always hooing to meet other canal users.
    Love kayaking look out for me in this area blue kayak called roamin jones.
    All the best

      Hi, unfortunately we have no ore footage than whats in the video. We've been to Brinklow a few times and have really enjoyed it so maybe we'll spot you next time and will be sure to give you a shout. Thanks for watching.

    Lovely vlog. Re women steering. It’s a must, we bought our Narrowboat 8 years ago and I have always steered the locks. I’m 67 and would struggle with the locks, Trev always does them. It’s much quicker and by far the most sensible option. Jen Trev and Ralf. NB Life of Riley xx

    *Stupid question alert* - Why do we drive on the right hand side of the canals?

    • @thenarrowboatgoodlife
      @thenarrowboatgoodlife  Před rokem +1

      Good question - the convention in nautical navigation is for boats and ships to pass portside to portside so boats need to be on the right of the waterway 👍🏼

    Rob how do you find not working? Is it a long term plan not to work or just a break?

      Yes I have stepped back from a 70/80 hour a week Career and now consulting, I think its a simple thing trading time for money and true wealth is having control over your time! Best of luck.

    New subscriber!! love the videos and the boat and Ralf are gorgeous!!❤
    Could I be cheeky and ask 2 questions?
    1) Would you be able to share the name of the boat builder? (And would you recommend them?)
    2) Where about in Scotland is the accent from? I’m from Aberdeen (born and raised in Banff). 😊

    • @thenarrowboatgoodlife
      @thenarrowboatgoodlife  Před rokem +1

      Thank you so much!! And yes of course…..our boat was built by Aintree boats in Liverpool, we’ll talk more in detail about them in our next vlog. But overall we were really pleased!
      I’m originally from Forfar so not far, my Dads family is from Aberdeenshire 👍🏼
