So much water … it’s actually coming in! | Welford to Theddingworth! | NARROWBOAT Living Ep77

This week’s vlog continues from Welford where we left you last. You saw us spend Christmas there in episode 72, this picks up just after, 27th December, where we are very low on diesel for our Refleks stove, so we have to go and fetch some by foot! The weather while we were at Welford was dreadful, storm after storm, so unfortunately we couldn’t do any exploring or walks, but we do take you to get fuel. On our way to the mooring at the marina, the wind blew our NARROWBOAT floating home against the pontoons, sending a lot of our belongings flying off the shelves inside the boat, it was a right mess when we went indoors! We spend New Year at North Kilworth Marina, before fuelling up, emptying out and leaving for our first cruise of 2024. We use a ‘spring’ to manoeuvre the boat and show you how it’s done! The first cruise of the year is a damp and cold one, but the amount of water coming from the land and into the canal is phenomenal! The canal is already very high due to the recent storms. The gentle sound of the rain, the murky water and the bare trees, make for a peaceful cruise. We go through Husbands Bosworth Tunnel, which is very wet and drippy, and see a few waterfalls and gushes of water entering the canal, then on to a beautiful mooring at bridge 50 on the Leicester Line of the Grand Union Canal. This mooring was so so peaceful, I baked a cake and a crumble, and even made soup, but then…it got noisy! What’s going on, GUNSHOTS?!! If anyone know what it was, let us know in the comments below!

Thank you so much, it means a lot to us ❤️ If you’re new to our channel, just a little introduction. 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. 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 couple of playlists for you too, one with all our favourite cruises and the other is all of 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. ❤️ Follow us on social media too: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
