- In this vlog, the temperature suddenly drops to minus 5 degrees Celsius and my NARROWBOAT becomes FROZEN into the canal. Then the snow comes too! We really need to move our boat to get to services and our Christmas mooring spot, but that isn't possible. Is it cold on a narrowboat? Yes, it is! So you have to work very hard at doing everything you can to keep it warm. Sit back, relax and enjoy some winter moments on the UK canal. Take care 🌻🦋

It's always lovely to hear from you and I will get back to you
Things every boat should carry:- 2 spare throttle cables and one of any other cables in use, at least 12 fuel filters in case of dirty fuel, reliable long lasting portable lights (paraffin, battery, gas or any independent power). A couple of jerry cans of fuel in case you run out (i.e. frozen in canal), boarding ladder, and salt ( you don't want to slip in winter)
Wow! This is such a great list- none of which I've got- but now, I will!👍⭐️ Thank you for your very useful comment. Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
@@themindfulnarrowboat Hope you saw my comments on the fuel and it looks like your engine is certified for HVO, but check I have correct engine.
And tow another Narrowboat just in case
@@themindfulnarrowboat Forgot to explain the boarding ladder/gangway. As you probably realise jumping onto icy towpaths/steel decks can be hazardous, very hazardous. If you keep a salted gangway you can put out when alongside you greatly reduce the risks of slipping. You can buy spring fitted soles that attach to your shoes, marvellous for walking in icy conditions and easily removed. Winter is a world away from the other seasons, be prepared.

A possible tip for you with the hot water bottle, only 3/4 fill and gently squeeze the air from the top of the bottle before putting the top in, you're less likely to burst it if you lie on it and by removing the air it will stay warm for longer. I grew up in the 60's, so this was the norm! Ice on the inside of the bedroom window in the morning. 😊
Great tip, Andrew- thank you so much! Happy New Year! 🥳🌻🦋
And always check the date on your hot water bottle because they do perish! 😮❤
Me too! Those old icy windows!
Yes and my bottle did burst once ! Horrible! My mum had to change my bed 😂 I was about 8 I think. There were five kids so a lot of bottles lol and they did go smooth with age and being used so much !
We had inside ice on our windows well into the 80s .....pleasure of useless night storage heaters .
Ah, I can't start to tell you how much I am enjoying your Channel and only having found it a couple of days ago. It is so lovely, so very beautiful, and thank you ...🙏 I can't stop watching (and nor do I want to 😊)!
Hi Kara, I am so pleased that you have found my channel and I am delighted that you are enjoying it so much.Thank you so much for your lovely comment.Have a super weekend.Take care 🦋🌻
Thank you. You too
What a lovely lady and so talented. My late wife and I had a narrow boat from 2002 to 2006. We were not as adventurous as you and only went for long trips in the summer for 3 or 4 months and travelled almost the whole canal system, Your video brought back so many happy memories. Every time I see a canal I choke up as it reminds me of my loss.
It sounds like you had such a special time on the canals with your late wife; how wonderful to have been able to spend that quality time together. I'm so sorry for your loss, Mike. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope that the memories of your time & travels with your wife bring you comfort.
You are a very beautiful woman and a brave person. Your expertise is amazing. Well done you. 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
And you are an artist and poet. Very special person. Best love ❤️ Valerie 🥀🥀🥀
No gloves?
I’ve just stumbled across this video on my CZcams feed, and what a delight. Thank you so very much for sharing your adventures on the canal in such a beautiful and atmospheric way. I love the music the camera work, the poem and artwork at the end. The whole thing was so enchanting and at the same time so peaceful. Thank you once again.
Thank you so much for stumbling on my channel and for taking the time to make such a lovely comment! Have a super rest of the week, take care🌻🦋

Thanks for your wonderful video.
That is so true!Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the week, take care🌻🦋
@@themindfulnarrowboat When " traveling " like that alot you better watch out that you don't get attacked or even worse raped or killed by some immigrants etc.
You would be surprised how high the statistics are for white women getting attacked, raped or even killed by non white men. And i'm not joking.
Many leftist women had to pay their ignorance and stubbornness with their lives, who also travaled the world and thought that all cultures are equal etc.... NO
You don't have to respond... just make sure you watch out and stay safe.
Tienes algunas de las cosas que mas amo en la vida: perro, naturaleza, agua, barcos.
I live in the States. Right on the coast in South Carolina and I’ve always been around water. I am now forever hooked on living on a boat and traveling the canals. I’m a history buff so I have read a good deal about the canals but seeing your videos I think my dog Ziggy and I want to retire to a narrow boat on the beautiful canals of Glorious England! Cheers!
Well I totally recommend it, Frankie!Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend, take care🌻🦋
Sad to say, it's not glorious Englands anymore, mass immigration has destroyed this once " Green and Pleasant Land"
Just came across your video beautiful scenery I love wintertime although no great for you stuck in the ice Your dog is gorgeous Sounds a great life but hard work too Best Wishes from Scotland 🤗
That’s one of the secrets of a happy life…turning negatives into positives. Life’s an adventure 🤔😃🏴
I second that- thank you so much for your wise words! Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻🕊️
What a delight you are! I loved this picturesque viewing of the ice and snow and the beautiful golden eye.
That is so kind of you, thank you so much☺️ It's great to know that you enjoyed the vlog. Have a lovely weekend, take care🌻🦋
Lovely lady, dog and countryside! I enjoyed watching!

What a great episode, I really especially like the drawing and the poem so much. You made my day!
What a kind comment- thank you so much! Have a super week, take care🌻🦋
As an Aussie who really hates the cold I can't but admire how tough all you narrowboaters are 😊. I would hate to be frozen in on a canal, beautiful or not. Glad you saw the beautiful Goldeneye.
There is something very rewarding about having to get through the winter on a narrowboat, but it is so lovely when everything is warm again too. I hope you're enjoying your summer in Australia! Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
The hottest and coldest I’ve ever been was in Australia…
I'm in Nz and uts too hit fir ne here in summer. I lovevtge cold and the ice abd snow. Miss Englands weather. The gentle summers and the beautiful crisp winters.
Thanks Vanessa for a visit in wonderland as a snowy/icy scene is something Magical.
Sometimes things don't go the way we had hoped but as you mentioned the alternative can be much better. 💚
Exactly, Sheila- the alternative can often lead to such wonderful surprises! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
I’m glad you’ve had your boat repaired, it looks nice and cozy inside despite the weather outside. What a bit of luck you came across the goldeneye. 😎
The goldeneye was a such an exciting spot- what a beautiful bird!😍 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
OMG what a beautiful vlog, the snow, the Goldeneye and the cormorant. And your poem and drawings at the end, just lovely. Thank you 💖
That is so kind of you- thank you so much! Have a super rest of the weekend and week ahead, take care🌻🦋
Oh my gosh that was so beautiful seeing that goldeneye! I live on a lake in East Tennessee USA and I am always looking for the wildlife here. So fun to spot something you haven’t seen before.😊
It is the biggest buzz to spot something new isn’t it? Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend take care 🦋🌻
Wow, that was a wonderful experience. Love your journal and that poetry gave me chills. ❤🤗
That is such a lovely comment- thank you so much; I really appreciate it. Have a super week, take care🦋🌻

Thank you so much for finding my vlogs. It must have been wonderful growing up near a canal. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
Beautiful vlog ( as always), lovely snow and ice scenes. You do very well battling the cold, a real trooper.
That is so kind of you, thank you so much, James. The winter is such an exciting time as long as you have everything you need on board to stay safe and dry. Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋

Beautiful and surprise-filled moments for you. Winter's absolutely lovely sunny days made more wonderful by the snow and frozen times. Zephyr's interest in just about everything you explain to her and her reactions of agreement are fun to watch.

@@themindfulnarrowboat hi I love the videos, is it very expensive living on a boat? it would be my dream life now hope you have a lovely Christmas 🤶
Lovely winter wonderland 💙 We went to the UK in 2019, in early February, and I saw snow for the first time in my life! I was so excited I kept going outside to stand in the falling snow, it was really beautiful. Thank you for braving the cold to take beautiful videos for us to enjoy 😊😊
Your first snow experience sounds just wonderful; I feel like that about snow even though I have seen it several times- there's a magic attached to it isn't there? I hope you get to see it again one day. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care⛄️🌨️🌻🦋
Surrounded by Winter beauty. Thank-you for sharing these experiences with us. 🙂👍
You are so welcome. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment- take care🌻🦋
What a lovely, poetic soul..and a very talented artist.
That is such a kind and lovely comment, Linda- thank you so much. Have a super week, take care🦋🌻
What a beautiful video. Thanks so much for sharing. What starts out as being something of a nuisance (getting frozen in when you need to be moving) ends up as being such a beautiful experience, getting to see the goldeneye among all the other things. What we need to remember is that we are in exactly the place where we are meant to be at any time!
That is such a wise and true statement, Ruth! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super week, take care🌻🦋
Wonderful winter scenes in a beautiful location!! Hope you have a great Christmas and a good New Year. Looking forward to following you on your adventures in 2024!!
That is so kind of you- thank you so much, Richard. I wish you a Merry Christmas and New Year too. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻

That is so kind of you- thank you so much ☺️ Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
Absolutely lovely! Thanks for sharing. You radiate happiness:)
That is so kind of you, thank you so much! Have a super rest of the week, take care🌻🦋
How wonderful, we lived in Brocton in 1986-1988, and would go to Penkridge market. Thank you for bringing back memories and for your lovely videography🙏🇳🇿🇦🇺
I am so pleased that the vlog brought back memories for you! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super Sunday and great week ahead. Take care🦋🌻
Love your drawings and writings! I have a new favorite channel! I’m an art historian specializing in works on paper, so getting to watch you draw is a special treat.
That is so kind of you, Ann- thank you so much! Your work sounds so intriguing. Have a super rest of the week, take care🦋🌻
Really enjoyed that update on your adventures. The canals are so beautiful at this time of year. I love walking or cycling along the network local to me here in Newark and seeing your vlogs makes me realise how lucky we are to be able to enjoy all the wonderful wildlife who put on such a spectacular show for us free of charge. Thanks again, and keep up the good work!
You must have some wonderful views as you cycle along. The wildlife that you see in and around the water is spectacular isn't it and then the way that it changes throughout the seasons too. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
Ive spent 5 days on a canal boat with me daughter son-in-law and grandson and 2 dogs. I must say your journey brought back memories. Very sweet , Thank you. I remember 27 locks to open and close. And pub or 2
That is a lot of locks to do in 5 days- no wonder you found the pubs! 😄 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super Sunday and great week ahead. Take care🦋🌻
7:13 such a relaxing scene. The glow from your little stove; the intense radiant heat, warming you to the bone, and the feeling of being safe and secure in your boat. I am social but in the evenings become a bit of a recluse.
It is so cosy inside the boat and a great time to appreciate the quiet. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super week, take care🌻🦋
Thank you so so much for sharing your beautiful life. I love your beautiful dog. Love from ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you so much for such a kind and lovely comment. Have a super rest of the week, take care🌻🦋
Seeing the aqua-roller and the ice gave a bit of a chilly reality check. Our hire boats don't have stoves and one doesn't think about ice while afloat in June. Thank You! Bill and Liz
Hi Bill and Liz, I hope that you are both well? It is a completely different experience to narrowboat in the winter isn't it? Hopefully, it will be much less frozen for your holiday in June! Have a super week, take care🦋🌻
Recognise that glass half full mindset and smiled throughout your lovely film of life on a narrow boat. Love the Goldeneye too, be safe and will watch out for more videos
That is so kind of you- thank you so much! Have a super rest of the week, take care🦋🌻
Just found your channel. How amazing it must be to live this free. God bless and have a merry Christmas.
It is an amazing experience and I am so grateful to be having it. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Happy New Year! 🥳🌻🦋
You are remarkable in so many ways...always a joy to be a part of your family's life from a great distance...Paul Thomas, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
That is such a kind and generous comment- thank you so much!😊 Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
Wow! Thank you, I remember how cold it can get on the canal, so glad I'm now in a cabin, though my (rain) water supply did freeze this week!! Such wonderful cinematography. Now the leaves are off the trees I can see the owl outside my cabin!! Take care out there guys and stay warm.
Oh my goodness- an owl outside your cabin!!!!🦉 What sort of owl is it? I hope your water is defrosted now. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
Thank you for the beautiful photography and music.
You are so welcome- thank you so much for your lovely comment. Take care🦋🌻
Thank you for showing me the realities of houseboat life in the winter. I haven't seen this on any other hb vlog.
If you are prepared and you have plenty of water, fire fuel, engine fuel and food in the cupboards, then you'll be fine and the whole thing is a bit of an exciting adventure! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super week, take care🦋🌻
Always looking on the bright side of life 😎 Well done
That is so true! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
Another lovely vlog, I hope you are now able to carry on with your journey to Great Haywood. Take care you 3.X
Thank you so much, Shirley. I hope you are staying nice and warm? Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
Bravo for creating this lifestyle! Many thanks for posting this!
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it! Thank you for your lovely comment, take care🌻🦋
Hello again! And thanks for yet another beautiful episode. One filled with winter scenes and Zephyr! Enjoyed this very much, really hope to see Alice Grace put right again soon. Hope you stayed warm, glad you chose the safe option of staying put. Fingers crossed that you make your Chritsmas arrangements in time! Best wishes, as always!
Hi Chris, what a lovely comment- thank you so much! I am so pleased that you enjoyed the winter scenes. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
I remember stopping on my friends little Cruiser one Christmas Eve many years ago and it was a bitterly cold night no heating and ice on the inside of the windows lol..He has since moved up the ladder and has a 40 foot narrow boat now with stove and all mod cons..If you can live through a bad winter on a boat then you definitely know that boating is for you, people don’t realise the work that goes into living and running a boat…Hope you have many enjoyable journeys ahead, great video, I love our waterways and always find my peace their thankyou ❤
Wow, your friend must be made of tough stuff to get through those freezing conditions!Thank you so much for your lovely comment! Have a super rest of the week. take care🦋🌻
Omg, I loved the little inside peek into your absolutely gorgeous art book, journal, sketch diary, ... whatever you want to call it, ;-) you are such a talented artist! So happy for you could enjoy a little adventure following the overflying "birds" to find and enjoy the lake. I would have enjoyed that too. So peaceful. You captured the cold beautifully in your video. Your lovely dog seemed so disappointed not being able to go for a swim in the frozen canal! Keep warm, keep smiling, really enjoyed your video, thank you for sharing, And glad you finally got to see a Goldeneye! Loved how you recreated it onto your paper. 🙂I've just seen you sold it on Etsy, sold out of course, ... but I know what I will buy when the next one comes out! 🥰
What a kind and wonderful comment- thank you so much for taking the time to make it. I really appreciate it. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
This is entirely beautiful! Thankyou. Take care in the ice and cold!
That is so kind of you- thank you so much! Have a super rest of the week, take care🦋🌻
Part of why I love CZcams is it often spring s a surprise here and there which offers a perfect antidote to life. I purelynstumbled upon thos video of yours and it is simply perfect! I will indulge why. My two favourite things are canals, and notebooks. The canal looks absolutely stunning in two settings - rural summer, and rural winter. Whilst everything looks beautiful and serene all batued in sunshine and the true colours come through, the winter scene I find speaks a little more in terms of serenity, ruggedness, it just has that appeal that summer doesn't (if you get what I mean). I ask myself "how can a scattering if snow makes everything look so beautiful when in fact it makes everything look white lol
I love how wonderful your journal looks! All the drawings look amazing!!!! You're clearly talented! I also love how the collection of drawings brings a richness to the pages, makes you want to delve in and read every word to discover what's within those pages.
Simply magical when combined with the discovery, the journey you travel on your wonderful narrowboat.
I'm hooked already! ❤
Season's Greetings!!! 🎅🏻🎄☃️❄️
What a lovely comment! I am so pleased that you enjoy canals and notebooks because I do too and my videos are full of them! Thank you so much for watching. Have a super rest of the week, take care🌻🦋
So I watch again and lift my spirits at your love of nature, you are a naturalist and thus nature led you to view your golden eye 😊 quite poetic don’t you think ❤
That is such a lovely comment and it is so poetic isn't it? Thank you so much! Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
Such a beautiful sketch of goldeneye… and even more beautiful is your poem about it
That is so kind! Thank you so much. Have a super rest of the week, take care🌻🦋
Stunning scenery, beautiful camera, art work and story-telliing.
The undeniable benefits of a slower life-style.
Thank you so much for your kindness; I really appreciate it. Have a super rest of the weekend and week ahead, take care🌻🦋
Winter on the canals looks quite difficult…please take good care of yourself and your pup 🐶
It is much more of a challenge, but if you are prepared it is a very exciting and beautiful time on the canals. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super Sunday and week ahead, take care🌻🦋
Loved your video your very good. An artist to. Managing a narrow boat on your own. Many many talants. Well done you 😊I had a chocolate labourer still miss her today beautiful beast bless her Molly xx😢
Hi Chris, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I do travel with my husband too but his work has a strict code of conduct which means that he can't be on social media like CZcams. Have a super rest of the weekend, take care🦋🌻
I’m amazed how you find the positive in everything !!
Blessings
For a long time, I wished that I could live and work on my narrowboat and when it finally happened, I was so happy; it would be awful of me to start grumbling about things when I am lucky enough to be living the life that I wanted for so long. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Happy New Year to you and your family, take care! 🥳🦋🌻
Great show and a great life, thanks for sharing your lovely world.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. It is a pleasure to share my world of narrowboating with you. Have a super week, take care🦋🌻
Lovely video, thanks for sharing. Your camera skills are definitely something to be proud of.
That is so kind of you.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
WOW! I'm so glad your channel popped up in my feed! Looking forward to exploring your videos. I like you art and poetry journaling. I am an artist and nature lover that moved to the Pacific Northwest of the US two years ago. I have come to love winter so much after living my whole life in a nearly desert climate further south. WInter can be a challenge at times, but the beauty and wonders it holds make it worth it.
Hi Linda, thank you so much for clicking on my video and watching! It's great to know that you appreciate the winter; the seasonal changes are so wonderful to watch and experience aren't they? Have a super week, take care🌻🦋
Wow that looks super cozy with that woodstove going, and the snow falling!
It really is super cosy by the fire. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the week- take care🦋🌻

What a lovely way to enjoy life, snug inside a narrow boat, close to nature and the beauty in all seasons it shows us . I still haven't given up hope of living on a boat just yet. Have a wonderful life and enjoy every moment gifted to you. I loved watching your video. I love your artwork and your poetry is simply beautiful.
Never give up hope- I wish for your dream to come true soon! Thank you for your lovely comment- take care🌻🦋
What a wonderful person you are iiii being natural is a precious gift for few humans, you were chosen one of them, your talent in drawing and most of all your natural words comes out poets.
That is so kind of you- thank you so much! Have a super week, take care🦋🌻
How did i end up here 🤔 but watched this video from start to finish and thoroughly enjoyed it, we both have a love of the countryside and nature my job brings me into contact with both on a daily basis.
I love your lifestyle and passion, have a great Christmas and keep doing what you are doing 😂😂
I'm not sure how you ended up here, but I am so pleased that you did! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the week, take care🌻🦋

Winter gives different wildlife so good find with the Goldeneye, beautiful little duck. Thank you.
Hi Andrew, winter brings so much exciting wildlife doesn't it? My next Wishlist spot is a Waxwing. I'd love to see a Waxwing!!! Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
I was frozen in a few years ago during that “Beast from the East” winter, all crt taps were permanently frozen even underground as they weren’t in a brick surround or lagged properly. I was getting water in 20lt container from a local church believe it or not, the vicar said I could use there outside tap used for gardening which wasn’t frozen! Great to see Zeph enjoying your hot water bottle, bless…. Well done for persevering in the cold Vanessa… 😊
That is so kind of the local vicar to help you out with water; I've seen notice boards put out on the towpaths in the extreme heat by churches welcoming boaters in if they need to keep cool. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
A friend of mine is soon to be ordained into the CofE and she’s going to be serving people on the waterways. She lives in Barnsley and enjoys holidaying on narrowboats.
@@amandasmith3716 I’m based in the south on GU so doubt I will benefit from the ladies help… 👍🏻
Hello, I have never added a comment to any u-tube posting before so I hope this goes as intended. I love, love, love what you post and your everyday positive outlook on what you do! I try to live my life in a simple mindful way and when I see other people that also practice mindfulness it really inspires me. I look forward to your postings both in the future and in the past. Keep up the great work, you have a wonderful lifestyle!
I am so honoured that you have made your first u-tube posting on my channel and what an absolutely lovely comment too! You sound like a kindred spirit trying to live simply and finding enjoyment in the beautiful things that you can find on a walk or even just looking out of the window. Thank you so much for getting in contact. Have a super Sunday and week ahead, take care🌻🦋
Beautiful journal and amazing poems. We cycle the canal tow paths and it is like another world, away from the hustle and bustle. The nature is wonderful

Wow! The narrowboat, the nature, the weather, the poetry, the illustrations. Such a beautiful video.
When younger I thought of doing this but I worried that people might think that I was strange. I realise now that it is society that's strange and this is clearly one of the most calming & rewarding ways to live.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Often people think that I am strange, but I have such a feeling of inner happiness from what I do, that I really don't mind at all. I think you are more conscious of fitting in when you are younger aren't you? Which is why I really like getting old! Have a super week, take care🦋🌻
After a 42 degrees C day here in Sydney and still 26 at 11pm it nice to watch this to cool down
That sounds so uncomfortable; I hope you have managed to find a cool place to sit and that it cools down for you. Thank you so much for your comment! Have a super rest of the week. take care🦋🌻
Move down to Melbourne. Not been anywhere near 42 since last summer. Weather here more like this on the canal.
Watching you now on Tele. Beautiful snow falling. And a blanket of white, it is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing its .
Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment too. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻
First visit to your channel. Here in the US I would call that bird an eagle. When I see buzzards they are large black birds circling over carrion on the ground. I'll keep an eye on your channel, there are no canals here, and nothing like a narrowboat.
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much for visiting my channel. I hope the weather is treating you well in the US? Sadly, it is very rare to spot an eagle in England, but Scotland is the place for eagle spotting. Have a super weekend, take care🌻🦋
