Don’t Make My MISTAKES! It’s a Learning Curve! | NARROWBOAT Living Ep214

It’s a Learning Curve! A journey full of Triumphs and Huge Mistakes! But first - What a fabulous mooring! So much new life and stunning scenery! We are so lucky to have all of this just outside our hatch! We see newly born lambs and even see wildlife that is rarely seen! Martin does a bit of DIY and Julie bakes one of Martin’s favourites, an Apple loaf! 😋 On cruising day, Julie is at the helm again, Martin is determined that she learns to drive more. But things don’t exactly go to plan! 🙈 There’s some big triumphs and some terrible Mistakes! Julie shows how handling the boat is both challenging and a big learning curve, but she shares some valuable boating tips! There’s a troublesome lock where the collar on the top gate has come loose and needs reporting to CRT, and while Martin hangs back to help Nikki, Julie muddles through her own struggles of mooring the boat, with scary consequences….!

Bring to boil and slow simmer until apples are soft, then leave to cool and mash roughly with a fork METHOD 1. Preheat your oven to 170C/325 F/Gas Mark 3 and prepare a regular loaf tin 2. Beat the eggs and caster sugar together in a large mixing bowl with an electric whisk or mixer for a couple of minutes until slightly thick and paler in colour. It may take longer if mixing by hand. 3. Add in the stewed apples and mix again for 30 seconds or so. Tip in the plain flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda, and mix together thoroughly. 4. Now pour in the melted butter, mix slowly to start to avoid splashing, then faster to ensure the butter is well incorporated. 5. Pour the batter into your prepared baking tin. 6. Bake for 50-60 minutes until springy to the touch and a skewer comes out clean. I use a cocktail stick for this. I usually find it splits from the middle and then rises into a domed top. 7. Remove from tin and allow to cool completely before cutting.

We are Julie and Martin and in 2021 we sold our house and gave up our jobs, to live full time on a narrowboat. We bought our 2004 narrowboat Rhapsody in Blue in the September and have been living full time onboard ever since. We hadn’t intended on vlogging, but recorded videos for ourselves and family and it has escalated into the weekly vlogs you see today, we love every minute and it’s lovely having you all onboard! ❤️ Please join us as we continuously cruise the inland waterways of the UK, sharing our cruises and adventures with you all, thank you! ❤️ We’ve made a few playlists for you too, one with all our favourite cruises, one of our River Nene adventures, and the other is all our vlogs from the beginning, so you can binge watch to see where we’ve been so far! There’s also a walk through of our narrowboat home too, come inside and see how we live. ❤️ Check out the amazing deals from Aferiy below; Aferiy P280 2800W 2048Wh Portable Power Station, Up to 10240Wh Link: https://uk.aferiy.com/Julie_Martin_P2...
