- We're getting ready for winter so Rob goes wood foraging before we complete our last locks of 2023 including Foxton's 10 lock staircase
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.
Our music is from CZcams Library, Artist.i.o & Storyblocks via Clipchamp.

Oh my gosh, those locks are certainly an engineering genius, I have never seen them operated before, thank you for sharing.

I’m really enjoying your vlogs. You’s are so calm and easy going and a pleasure to watch. I love your banter. Those ice-creams looked delicious.❤️❤️

fantastic vlog. I've got a wood splitter just like that for kindling. Many thanks for a very entertaining time from Texas
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 😊
I get the impression Rob is not worried about bread on the table his concern is beer 🍺🍺🍺
Always! Seems you know him so well 😉🍺 thanks for watching
loved your wood splitter
It’s a great tool!
Foxton locks are an engineering marvel. I was told when I did my helmsman course down there that they added 2 extra locks at the top so that the Grand Union canal wouldn't have any more locks until the Watford flight
Yes, I think I read that somewhere too. Fabulous to take our narrowboat through the locks. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Thanks again for your vlogs, appreciate the work you put into them enjoy the upcoming Holidays ❤️!

On the way down Foxton locks do
You open the paddles the other way round ‘White before Red’??
What a lovely day, lovely Video.
No, it’s the same on the way down. The water from the side pounds must be used first.
Thanks for watching 😊
Hi guys, thanks for your video I’d love to come that’s a bit of away from my place from Logan city in Queensland Australia to England but hopefully one day I’ll get over that way. Keep up the good work. Enjoy your break from all the locks Cliff from Logan city, Queensland, Australia🇦🇺🧑🏾🦽
You’d love it! Thanks for watching 😊
Love your vlog! Love the combination of scenery and banter between you two. Maybe I'm a bit of a nosey-rosey, but I'd love to know more about your back story.... how long have you been married, how did you meet, what is your career, how do you manage working on a NB....
Thank you! We have been married nearly 5 years now! Met in Scotland. Rob is semi retired and I work part time from the boat in a remote admin job.
😊
Watch video 6 where we talk about working on the boat 👍🏼

Hey, this comment has somehow transferred from some other post! It was certainly not aimed at you guys. It was a response to someone being horrible about the PoW & her cancer. I have no idea how or why it transferred. I can only appologise.
No worries, these things happen 👍🏼
