@@cath7099 hello to you too! And thanks so much for watching my little Vlogs. Living on a boat, for me is the best life……. Not for everyone, of course. But it’s so calming, quiet and mindful being so close to nature on the canals. Hope you have a lovely day. 🌸☀️
Hi. I've just come across your flog. How have I not seen you before. Absolutely loved it. I am now going back watching all your flogs that you have done. Love your boat and all the things you do. Great inspiration to us mature peeps. I'm nearly 67 and live in Gloucestershire, do knitting and crocheting mainly. Have an old (26 years old) motorhome and love it. Keep up the good work x
@@salliefisher3508 Hi ‘neighbour’ 😂 Wow great that you have a motorhome and still love it! It’s such a joy isn’t it to get behind the wheel be at one with nature…… Thanks for watching my Vlogs and hope you enjoy all the others too! 🌸
Go you, with the van, that's brilliant! And congratulations on becoming a celebrant. I'm a priest, and find walking alongside people in these really important times of their lives very special. Good luck with your first wedding!
@@Jacquiandteddy thank you……. Really can’t wait to start on the van. I’ve got 2 weeks before a camp out date that’s already pre-booked when I had my ‘car camper’! Yes being a Celebrant - if I decide to continue after my first wedding - will be quite interesting. Thanks for watching my little Vlog 🌸
Just subscribed. Your boat looks gorgeous! Agree with you about Glastonbury. I still enjoy a smaller festival but won’t camp again. Hope to get a camper van at some point
@@ShoestringJane thank you subscribing and for your lovely comment about my boat…… have to say I’m a bit in love with her myself! 😂 I’m picking the van up in 2hrs!! Then work begins on it on Monday!! Have to say ‘Van CZcamsrs’ have been a great help for info on how to insulate and self build….. so here’s hoping! Hope you get your van soon. Would love to see how your ‘van journey’ goes. 🎉 for small festivals eh! Have a lovely weekend! 🌸
@@Nutmegcottage63 hey that’s lovely of you to say and it’s a joy when people say they like my little Vlogs…… hope you’re having a good day. 🌸 Thanks for watching as always! 🌷
I am sure that you have heard this before, but you remind me so much of Petula Clark to look at?! You just came up on my You Tube lists, so I have subscribed to you and given the thumbs up. I love narrow boats, and have never been on one, but always fancied doing so, and even living on one as you do. I suffer sever anxiety now, and only go out of my rural home to walk my rescue greyhound Madge, and to take the re cycle and rubbish to the end of our lane. I sold my car, because I was unable to drive more than 10 mins without having to stop to be sick, and I so miss driving. I get everything delivered to me. I have not been out and about (part from having to be taken to the dentist locally to have a tooth taken out) since January 2020. I wish I could find someone like yourself on You Tube that lived near me in West Devon, as it would be lovely to have someone come to my home, just to have a bit of human company. I do love living on my own though, and doing my own thing, and I love my home. Thank you for this video, and I have subscribed to you, and given you the thumbs up. Blessings to you from Jilly & Madge. xxx
@@jillychandler thanks so much for liking and subscribing, and for your lovely comments. Funnily enough, it’s a long time since I was told that I look like Petula Clark! But when I was younger , a few people did remark on it. I’d forgotten all about that ! 😂Also when I was a kid, I used to have her single ‘Downtown’! 😂 Sorry to hear about you anxiety, and that it’s stopping you from doing all the lovely things you want/like to do. Have you tried a local Facebook group in your area. I joined a women’s car camping group, before I bought my Van, and this weekend I’m meeting up with six other women who camp in cars/vans who I’ve never met before, so that worked really well and a group like that might work for you! Not to go camping but to pop in and see you, I hope you continue to enjoy my Vlogs and hopefully they make you smile. 😊
another lovely natter Peri! Congratulations on passing the Celebrant qualification. I'm sure you'll make each ceremony memorable, you do present as a compassionate and people-orientated person so good on you! Beggar the savings for now and enjoy your lovely van-camping start up! All the best and keep 'em coming!
@@user-ix2yz9qh6r hey thank you……… ya just have to keep finding exciting things to keep the ole’ braincells going! 😂😂 Can’t wait to get out in the van……Just gotta make sure I pay back my savings!! 🤣 hope you have a lovely day!
Congratulations Peri - what wonderful news about gaining your celebrant qualifications and your new van purchase...how exciting!!! I'm from Somerset originally but live in Aberdeenshire and your natterings are comforting to listen to as they remind me of home. I also took the plunge and recently bought a micro camper too (in the process of converting it) - bring on the van life adventures and hopefully some good weather too 🚙😄
@@JaneYeaman hi Jane thanks so much for watching, how exciting for you, you will love it. You’ll have to start a Vlog for your camping journeys!! I’m so glad my Natterings and accent reminds you of home🥰 . I lived in Burnham on Sea for a while many many moons ago!! Not sure if you have seen my car camping Vlogs but I did 2 weeks around the West Highlands in April and I just loved it……. ❤️ Sorry to see Vera go, but can’t wait to go to my first camp out in my van!! All the best with you camper conversion , love to see your progress! 🌸
@@Peri-mylifeinateacup aww how lovely I know Burnham-on-Sea well, about 30 years ago I worked at Holimarine Holiday Park when I first left school not knowing what to do with my life lol 😆 Yes perhaps one day I will be brave enough to do a Vlog, for now I will enjoy watching yours and have a wee nosey of your West Highland Vlogs 👍All the very best with your new micro camper.....exciting times 😃🏞🌻
Wow congratulations on both the certification and the van. What lovely adventures you will have and with a bit more comfort too. My garden is allotment sized but sadly full of ants and I hate using chemicals, so we tend to share whatever I grow. In fairness though, I'm not really a gardener but I do like to try. This year, I have resorted to pots and so far, I'm not doing too bad🙃 Enjoy the New Moon. Lots of love 💕🦋 xx
@@Susan-hv9mc ahh thank you. And thank you for watching! Yeah can’t wait for my first camp out, in the van, which is actually on the 19th of this month! Will be a bit ‘rustic’ as I won’t have time to set it up properly- but that’s fine. I’ll make it cosy. Ants! Didn’t think about them eating my sown seeds, there’s quite a few ants nests in my soil…….. but like you don’t like to use chemicals……. Hey ho! Always next year 🌸 have a good rest of your week.
@@raymondc5473 Ahhh Thank you! . So pleased you found and liked my little Vlogs. That’s so exciting that you’re going to retire to a Narrowboat! All the best, sure you will love the life! I e just been out in the van, had a good look at what needs doing……. All looks ok…… so here goes! 😂🌸
We're in the process of selling our little townhouse in Spain, which has been the early retirement place, beautiful mountain village. Friends think we're nuts, I do wonder 😁
@@raymondc5473 😂😂 it is a very different life style……. But so freeing , tranquil and off grid. Have to say tho’ not for everyone! 😂 guess you watch loads of narrowboating Vlogs! ☺️Narrowboats hold their value so you could always sell up and go back! 😂
Hey🎉 in your Distinctions, you clever girl ❤ Great news about the van too. You'll surprise us all with a full conversions, I'll bet haha. If you can grind down paint on the boat you can absolutely refurb a transit. "There's a YT vid for that" haha Great video and cant wait to see you in the van. Not sure even @dovephotographyuk could revive the lavender. Take care ❤
@@blackpooltownvideo ahhh thanks Helen, but don’t get too excited it will be a ‘No Build’ build! Everything free standing! But I will insulate it as I mentioned - I think! 🤔 can wait to get started. Funny you mentioned YT I’ve been watching that most of the afternoon of how to convert your vans. I’m having a great time. ! Hope alls well my friend xx
Hi! Really fascinating.Just found you,and Im going to enjoy your vlogs very much.Congratulations on the van and the celebrant distinctions!Im from Northern Ireland ,living in Spain for 40 years ,and I absolutely LOVE getting to see British countryside.It's like the desert here!
@@joanmelville8310 hey thanks for your lovely comment and for watching my little Vlogs, glad you like them. Wow along time in Spain! Nice to know I’m reaching other parts of Europe. I’ve never been to Northern Ireland, but I’m half Irish and planning next year to take my van around both Southern & Northern Ireland ….. should be a fab trip. Northern Ireland looks beautiful! Yea I lived in Crete for 7 years and that’s what I noticed when I came back to the UK , how green everything was! So glad you get to see some of that green in my Vlogs. 🌸
Just found you 😊. Love your videos You have a really lovely way about you I would love to see a tour of your narrow boat and the things that you have done to it over the years Are you moored in the same place permanently?
@@michellekeir592 hey Michelle thank you so much for your lovely comments. That’s very kind of you to say, I’m glad you’re enjoying my little Natterings! 😂 In my Vlog called ‘Camping Tales’ which I did about 2months ago, at the end is a full tour of my boat. You can watch the whole Vlog or push along to 26mins and it starts there. The whole Vlog duration is just over 28mins. My mooring is a permanent one, and it’s actually on the canal not in a marina. I have been up country through some of the canal system and on a couple of our rivers but I now tend to stay around the area of my mooring. As I have it all here on this canal. Nature at its best!, and I’m a bit lazy! 😂. Hope you have a lovely day🌸
Peri ~ when you say you have to film yourself conducting a marriage and a funeral, does that mean a literal or figurative one? You mentioned you have pictures to prove you tented at Glastonbury....would love to see them! I keep thinking how interesting your history seems and it would be great to see snipits and hear your stories. I echo others' congratulations to you for being a life-long learner and adventurer! You should put out a shingle when you travel and see how many impromptu weddings you can muster. 😂
@@bobbiejo8747 ha ha I literally had to film myself and pretend I was giving the service for both a wedding and a funeral. It’s then sent off to the assessors!! It’s such a funny thing to do too, even tho’ I’m used to talking to camera’ 😂 maybe I will dig out some Glastonbury pics……. My history!! Tbh, I have had a great time with still more adventures to come…… but there are a few things I want to talk about in the future in my Vlogs in the hope that what I say about my experience will help others…….but don’t want to get too deep! 😂 I’m supposed to bre making people smile!!! 😂😂 Hope you’re well and hope you’re having a good day 🌸
@@Peri-mylifeinateacup It is our Independence Day here in the USA. I gather y'all have an important election today as well. It is forecasted to be 97° F (37°C) here in South Carolina today.
