Thanks for the tip!

Ah thanks a lot Tim! Absolutely you still do! There's always time to make a change and I hope you get that little narrowboat you dream of!

Thanks so much James, that's lovely to hear!

Thanks very much Nathan, Lauren will be proud of this comment!

@@CharliePauly no probs iv seen so many sringers they tend to look dark and dingey yours was the first iv seen that looks homely

Ah man this makes us extremely proud, thanks for that comment!

That's the plan! 🙌🏼

Ah love to hear it! Simplicity is always so rewarding! 🙌🏼

What a lovely comment. Very true and thanks very much for the support! 🙌🏼

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it!

Ah love to hear it! Best of luck with everything Pops! 🙌🏼

Aw thank you. It certainly is!

Thanks very much Stephen!

Aw thanks so much! 😊 This makes us very proud!

Aw thanks so much Andreea! Really appreciate the support! 🙌🏼

Thanks so much Sue!

Thanks very much David, and you. Hope lockdown on the boat isn't driving you too crazy haha.

Wow, thanks very much John!

Thank you very much!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks so much! Completely agree, anything smaller would be a tough squeeze for the two of us but 26ft sounds good for one!

Thanks so much Siani! 😊 Appreciate the support!

Aw love to hear this, thanks very much! Makes all the hard work worthwhile haha.

Thanks Helen!

Love this! Thanks so much 🙏🏼

Ah thanks very much! Agreed, perfect size for us 2!

Thanks so much!

Ah thanks a lot for the support and good luck with the boat move!

Yesss, we're still yet to get out on the river but can't wait for summer to come and get the engine running!

Thanks Sean, Lauren will be proud of this comment haha.

@@CharliePauly if she gets bored..ssk her to come here! Not recovered from 3 months of roof replacement, new chimney and new central heating..gave up with dust!

Thanks very much!

Ah thanks so much Adam, really appreciate it! Welcome aboard!

Thanks very much!

Thanks!

Many thanks Chris!

Hey Wayne, what a lovely comment to wake up to. Thanks very much! It's funny you should say that as our next mission is to get our hands on a camper van. Guess we all just have an urge for the simple life haha. Thanks for the support. 🙌🏼

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Jason!

Nice one thanks Graham! Never thought about that but a great idea!

Thanks Andy, we checked with the safety inspector and he said 5 feet from the ground is recommended.

I dunno lower than your sleeping position is the only thing that makes sense. If you’re asleep you’re not at 5ft height. You want to wake long before it smothers you....

Thank you! Glad you like it!

Ah thank you so much!

Thanks so much John! 🙌🏼

Ah thanks so much, yes white definitely helps the small space feel bigger! We actually haven't this year as our engine has an oil leak but hopefully be set for 2021!

Glad you like it!

@@CharliePauly for once,I enjoyed being jealous of someone..

Thanks mate!

Thanks so much!

Thanks very much! Glad you think so.

Thanks very much William!

Thanks for watching!

Yep yep!

Awww thanks!!

Thank you!

Ah thanks so much Kevin! We're in March, Cambridgeshire. Absolutely if you're thinking of it you definitely should!

Thanks Ron, yes we are constantly wired up to the mains at the moment.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it and yes, my dad put a lot of thought into the layout on Wanderer which we have no faults with, wouldn't change a thing. It's 1000 litres, we made a mistake in the Q&A haha.

@@CharliePauly I thought the 100 litres wouldn't go far. No need to reshoot the Q & A vlog on my behalf. 😁

Thanks so much! 😊

I work remote through Instagram, UKposts and my travel blog so I’m abroad a lot and the boat is just a base for me. Absolutely love it though!

Thanks so much Stuart!

Ah love to hear this! Glad you enjoyed the vid.

Haha brilliant. Yes, we've just about got that, and think Lauren is going to cut today! 🙌🏼

Ah thanks a lot Maureen! We're on a permanent mooring, however would love to a cruise a little but unfortunately still waiting to get our engine fixed!

Thanks again Mick! So the gas bottles we simply swap at the office on site. And I've taken over the UKposts as my own little passion project, although I'm sure Lauren will be just as big a part of the vlogs.

Thanks Chris!

No it's not 12v just a standard fridge. Will have to check it when we get back to the boat. Thanks for the support!

@@CharliePauly okey thank you anyways! Really enjoyed watching your documentary last night. Really inspiring, continue doing what you do! Enjoy you travels ⛵️

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Richard!

Absolutely

Thanks Mark!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you!

Very true, we don't have any prior info on the boat unfortunately but I guess that leaves us to make some history for it!

Thanks very much! We have a post box that the office sorts into pigeon holes so we can receive any kind of post. We actually have a full Q&A here if you're interested: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/cKSSeJ-qn59_14k.html

@@CharliePauly thanks for the reply, I have just watched the video :) how do you insurance your car? Do you use your postal address? I would need a car as I'm a freelance photographer. I love the idea of living on a boat, I don't want to have loads of debt for a house or to be paying rent! Thanks again

Thanks very much Stef. We bought it and it was a sh*thole so completely renovated it. We paid £6,000 for the boat, but it came to £10,000 after renovations. We have a full Q&A vlog here if it's of interest: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/cKSSeJ-qn59_14k.html

@@CharliePauly amazing transformation loved it lots of q a answerd with the vlog definitely keep watching.

Thank you! We managed to buy and renovate ours for £10,000 but that was very lucky. I think it’s worth around £15,000 - £20,000 now

Haha sounds like you’ve got it all figured out. I’ll get the tools out for you, let me know when you’re on your way!

@@CharliePauly buy me a ticket across the pond and I’ll fix her all up for ya…

Thank you!

To be honest I think it's just a different style. There are a few in the boat yard similar to ours, but you're right the majority of narrowboats have the sliding entrance. We're very much used to it but friends and family (especially the older ones) do struggle a little.

@@CharliePauly so all my narrowboat knowledge is based upon observation and research not actual experience, but I am a design engineer in other fields. Part of the reason your boat doesn’t have a push lid entryway is the same reason why the gas bottles are located in benches on the stern. It’s a compromise of space when you are trying to squeeze as many of the amenities of a 45-60 ft boat onto a sub 40ft boat with a cruiser stern. A push lid entry creates a foul weather area that would have been unacceptable given your stern door open directly into the kitchen , so instead you have a somewhat awkward entrance into the boat

Wouldn't want to give you wrong advice but our safety certificate man said to place them high so we just followed his instruction.

Perfect for the two of us!

Ahh glad to hear it.

Thank you!

Thanks for the tip.

They all vary but ours it 6"10 I think

Hey Mick! You've got a good point, we've only ever swapped the gas bottles at the marina because it's easy but we could probably save a penny our two if we went elsewhere. And no, Lauren will still be in all the videos I'm sure haha.

Very true! How have we never noticed that!

At the gym or at our parents

Thank you!

💛🙌🏼

🙌🏼

We don't have one on board. Use the on site facilities, parents when we visit or shower at the gym.

PetZotics South Africa How do you know it's a canal and not a river? There are hundreds of miles of navigable river in England and thousands of boats, including narrowboats moored on them, it's entirely possible that their Marina is off a river rather than a canal.

Being pedantic I think it is actually the River Nene (Old Course) No doubt Charlie and Lauren can confirm.

It's the River Nene.
