We have been continuously cruising for 3 years now and it's starting to take its toll so we have some big decisions to make...
It's been longer than we had hoped since our last video. We have been very mindful to respect our boundaries when it comes to vlogging as it can feel overwhelming at times to film everything so we've decided to make intentional videos when it feels right - we appreciate all of you who love watching.

We are Adam & Lauren, we live full time on board our 59ft Narrowboat with our dog Shanti. We are excited to welcome you into our daily life as we continuously cruise around the British waterways.

Taking a mooring over winter sounds like a smart move i think for any boater the days are shorter and having to travel when its colder must take its toll. Being able to just sit and relax will make it much more enjoyable for you all. Xx

I love that I saw Emily and bennys videos yesterday and yours today, great community spirit there for you, good luck with staying still for a while and I hope you all the best for your future. I’m planning to buy a narrowboat this coming winter once my house has sold, I hope I find friends like you have

Good for you for taking a break from vlogging. I agree about not being in the moment when you are watching the world through a camera lens. Great to see Ben and Emily in your video after seeing you in their video a couple of days ago. Good oldBen and Emily coming to the rescue with their van, great to see Dave again too. Take care and I look forward to your vlogs when you feel the time is right to film. xxxx

It’s lovely down there where you are, just on the outskirts of town. 2 minutes from civilisation but far enough away to not be part of it. The flood lock will help if the river floods, just need your welly’s or a paddle board for the towpath 😊

@julesopals53 11 ай бұрын

Hi Both, love your videos. Lauren, you expressed your feelings very well, the need for stillness. My life has been full of movement,I am not good at being still but your words resonated. There is a time for stillness. And growth. Look forward to your river winter.

You provide us all with pockets of stillness through your videos so I'm glad you're claiming some of that for yourselves. Btw, you guys have the nicest combined energy. I'm a bit of an old celtic hippy bird so for me (and Tesla - I'm in good company 😉!) energy and vibration is everything! Looking forward to more vlogs beautiful people 💕

Ah. I'm laughing... thanks for fessing up about the kitchen - food IS endless cooking and wiping. Happy Ben and Emily and the mighty Dave helped with wood etc. Love how Lauren breaks into song to specially announce things... I remembered those tunes... especially the pastel nata ? Totally appreciate the working out and planning - it means you're in control of what you want to happen for you. So satisfying - happiness

Were well on our way in our van home to saving for future land and a homestead. Van and boat life are basically cousins. Any plans on spreading into a plot in the future?

Lookout. With stillness comes permanence, nesting and babies. It's different for my wife and myself. We're retired. We're cruising, living in our American caravan in new zealand, towards our tombstone. Or dementia unit. Which ever comes next. Lol

You just need to understand a couple of things about that reply. Flows can be controlled. Regulated or diverted. Once you figure out who's in control, then you can relax. As long as you're doing the controlling.

You said your a bit worried about being on the River . Is that a ‘Lock’ behind you ,where your moored ? If it is you will be able to move to the other side of the Lock where its safer. Are you close to a Water Point ? You will only need to get nervous , if all your Narrowboat neighbours suddenly move away from that mooring in the winter . 😊

I just subscribed, but I have 2 questions. I just went on your Buy-Me-A-Coffee page, and I noticed that you have a financial goal on your page, so my question is - Do your coffee donations go towards your financial goal, or is there some other way to support you ? Also, do you sell any handmade products, and if so, what are they please ?

@thefloatinghome17 11 ай бұрын

Thank you firstly for visiting the buy me a coffee and taking an interest in supporting us it means a lot - on there we are saving to continue renovating the bow of our boat ☺️ we have mugs with our logo that we sell and Lauren also makes handmade jewellery!
