40. Sometimes Narrowboating ain't fun! Wet, cold & windy plus a very rowdy city mooring.

This week we take our narrowboat into Birmingham not knowing thousands of football fans will be passing our boat at night.
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.

Thank you for taking the time to watch our video 🥰 If you would like to support the channel please do so here; 👉buymeacoffee.com/narrowboatgoodlife and we'll raise a glass with you in our next video. Too-da-loo! ❤🍻❤
Just beautiful. That's all I have to say about this video. Just beautiful ❤
Thank you so much 😀. Our new vlog is out later today 👍🏻🍻
@@thenarrowboatgoodlife Can't wait ❤️
Really good vlog, gets better each week and easily best canal channel at the moment IMHO.
Wow, thank you! New vlog out later today so hopefully it'll be up to scratch. Thanks for watching 👍🏻🍻
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 !!!
It’s not nice is it!
Thanks for watching ☺️
It was lovely to see such a lovely couple on such a rainy day ☔️ Beau our 6 month old cocker spaniel says hello too.
Beau fell in canal so you might want to think about life jacket’s for your two little doggies. Took me an hour to wash all the black horrible silt out of him. Have a great time wherever your travel to next 🙂x
Lovely to meet you Judith!
Woof woof to Beau from Ralph and Rosie!
Life jackets something to consider yes, 👍🏼
Thanks for watching ☺️
Manchesters Rochester 9 is just the same - under buildings all the way - locks were very heavy but we enjoyed it
Hope to get there one day! Thanks for watching ☺️
From Birmingham, so was nice to see it from a different perspective, I don't often visit that area but will try and visit to see where you moored your boat. Keep up the good work, love all your videos.
We like to show different parts of the network!
Thank you for watching ☺️
First time watcher, really enjoyed the blog.
I'm originally from Brum, I left there 12 years ago but as a kid I would often go to the guillotine lock and jump the gap with friends, the things you do when you're young 😊
In the next few years my partner and I are looking to move from our small holding to a canal boat but we're looking at an end of garden instead of continuous cruising.
Welcome! What a lovely idea, we may look for a garden mooring in the future once we’ve had our fix of exploring! Good luck with your plan. Thanks for watching ☺️
Great video Such a shame it has been so wet and cold have a great weekend. 😊
Thank you! You too! ☺️
Great to see someone exploring the canals of Birmingham. Lived there for 30 years and loved the canal vibe . Just discovered your vlog, looks great
Thanks! Yeah we do like it! So different from what we are used to. Thanks for watching ☺️
Great video - shame about all that torrential rain but at least it improved eventually!
Thank you 😁. Naturally it stopped raining once we moored up! Thanks for watching. 🍻👍🏻
That Birmingham accent is a strange one - I asked a Brummy what was his favourite rice and he said it was "the tour de France" 😂
🤣🤣 thanks for watching ☺️
The snow is just about gone here. The driest breakup I've seen. In a few weeks we will probably be praying for rain. You can send some of yours our way. Thanks for taking us along.
Ah snow! Wish we’d had some over winter, but we only had rain!
Thanks for watching ☺️
@@thenarrowboatgoodlife Well here the first snow that sticks is about the second week in October. Doesn't melt until about now.
Goodness!
I’m so glad your back out Cruising again. Your Home is Stunning. Love your banter between each other and seeing the dogs playing is lovely.
Thank you so much! We are glad to be back! ☺️
Great video both thank you, pleased that I got the decision on the route correct. So pleased you enjoyed my home town & 'Up The Villa' 👊👊
Yayy! We definitely chose the best route! Thanks for watching ☺️
hi. OOOH i do not like the look of the guilotine lock i would be scared of it coming down just as we were going under it. Love all your videos .
I think it’s stuck in place now! But know what you mean!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Thanks for sharing your story even the bad weather days, top marks for cruising through that, I would have moored up and waited for it to pass
We would normally but had a deadline! Thanks for watching ☺️
Another great vlog, was great seeing you go into Birmingham, so different to the countryside views. ❤
Yeah we love the difference! Thanks for watching ☺️
That was a really good watch! We’re narrowboaters too but currently landlubbers because our doggy is recovering from surgery. This was great coverage of Birmingham. I think your channel is one of the best ‘narrowboating’ ones.
Ps I’m English, hubby is Scottish - our boat is Capercaillie.
Lovely name! Sorry to hear about poorly doggie. Ralph and Rosie send doggie love, woof
Hope you get back to boating soon. Thanks for watching ☺️
Lovely blog! Thanks so much ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
Really great Video even the rain!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching ☺️
Great video. Just was wondering what is the record in the frame on the wall?
Thank you 😁. It's Herb Alpert 'This Guys in Love With You.' Thanks for watching 👍🏻🍻
Do you think you will get to do the Delph Flight???
On the Dudley canal? Not this time but maybe one day. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Do you raise your shelter on the yucky days?
Not really practical I’m afraid due to bridges. 😞 thanks for watching ☺️
