Our new narrowboat life is living up to every expectation! This is the view from our mooring on the Welford Arm. A full day here tomorrow, then through the Husband Bosworth Tunnel, moor up and explore the town of Husbands Bosworth before heading back to Crick! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk

Finally finished our narrowboat tour and walkthrough video, uploading as we speak!!! Available tomorrow! Cleaned out the compost toilet for the first time ever today as well. One of those are more important depending on who and where you are in life🤷‍♂️ #narrowboat #ukcanals #TravelAddicts

Now that we’ve moved onto the #narrowboat it’s a month of short cruises designed to test and configure the electrical system, getting the solar and generator to work together properly. We cruised to the Welford Arm today and will stay the night. Tough life but someone has to do it🤷‍♂️

We’re on our #narrowboat!!!! Of course it’s chaos, between moving on, going through a snag list (punch list) of items to be tweaked, all while squeezing between all the other boats being worked on by Smithwood. But! We’re finally home. Walkthrough, boat tour video, will be up next week 🤞 #ukcanals

We’ve gone through some very personal and exceedingly emotional life-changing moments since moving back to England. It’s officially time to turn the page to a new chapter. We leave for Crick this Sunday morning, moving to a hotel room near the wharf and then onto our new #Narrowboat home! #ukcanals

lol…. Nope. I wish. Playing around with an iPhone app. Did lots of silly things

The latest ‘English Canals’ Action figures are about to be released. The latest additions are ‘wide-eyed continuous cruisers new to the canals’. Look for them in your favorite toy store!!!! They could be collectibles! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #photography #TravelAddicts

The big news keeps coming! Our narrowboat will be finished and handed over as of June 12th!!!! Her name and everything about our new tiny home will be revealed in a walkthrough video released the following week!! Exciting stuff! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #TravelAddicts

Soooooo. Our Crick Boat Show video took a little longer than we had hoped. It’ll be up tomorrow, Tuesday June 2nd at 2pm UK time. A lot of things to see, even chat with the company behind a plastic narrowboat!!!!! See, some things are worth the wait! #narrowboat #ukcanals #uk #TravelAddicts

I think we marked a box off our ‘narrowboat bingo card’, doing castle and roses painting at Crick. Am I right?

Look who we ran into !!!! @jollysnail.bsky.social It’s their first time too!!!!

If you need another peek into our time on the Llangollen, here’s a fun short from Wendy. I’m told the instagram version is better, but who am I to tell you to leave Bluesky for your social media needs🤷‍♂️ Check out our latest Llangollen video on our YouTube channel! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk

Spent a few days around the Coventry/Birmingham area recently, shopping for furniture and stuff for the #narrowboat. Wendy captured our overnight stay perfectly with this reel. Looks like #Birmingham easily held its place on our cruising #bucketlist ! #canal #ukcanals #uk #TravelAddicts

We have another narrowboat video dropping today, midafternoon UK time! A behind the scenes peek at our very first time at the tiller and on the canals! Even better, this starts our journey to our present day life on the English Canals! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #TravelAddicts

While we all wait patiently to see our completed narrowboat, here’s a sneak peek at Wendy’s kitchen. Needless to say, this took priority is our design discussions! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #photography #TravelAddicts

The Custom House in the port town of Kings Lynn was built by Henry Bell in 1683 as a merchants' exchange. Fortunately Kings Lynn has taken great care of this treasure, continuing to renovate and improve this beautiful landmark. #kingsLynn #Norfolk #photography #UK

Best part of narrowboat life? Mooring your house close to some amazing English sights. We had the opportunity to tour the beautiful All Souls College while in Oxford and get this unique picture with the Radcliffe Camera! #narrowboat #ukcanals #Oxford #photography #TravelAddicts #RadcliffeCamera

Just two new continuous cruisers making their way under the Isis Lock Bridge to wind in the Thames below! Just typing this makes us realize how lucky we are to live this life and be where we want to be!!! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #photography #TravelAddicts #OxfordCanal

Happy Easter from Wendy and Laurence. While we didn’t bring chocolate we did bring a narrowboat moment from the Oxford Canal! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #photography #TravelAddicts #Oxford

We have a video dropping today, special in a few ways. It’s our five-year journey; from the first time we laid eyes on this thing they call a ‘narrowboat’ to landing in the UK with all our worldly possessions to become continuous cruisers. Look for it this afternoon!!!! #narrowboat #ukcanals

We were definitely spoiled by Oxfords proximity. Wendy outs together a great reel!! #Oxford #TravelAddicts #Travel #ukcanals

Wednesday was certainly a fun day to cruise! The sunshine lied about the freezing temperatures, wind manhandled the boat every chance it got and then spots of rain to remind you Mother Nature gets to decide your mood! Then a spot of hail while mooring ;) #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk

Seriously? How could you not love views like this and pretty much want to see them everyday? Canal life is a happy life (ignoring all the hard work and relentless workarounds). #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #photography #oxford

The beauty of being moored so close to Oxford is being able to pop in and really enjoy this incredible city. Had the chance to explore the Covered Market and grab a pie from Pieminster. An absolute must do!!!! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #oxford #photography

The view at the CRT facilities just south of St Edward’s Lift Bridge (238) is stunning. So beautiful. Once the water is full our cruising is done for today. Great weather for it! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #photography

Aside from the beauty of the Oxford canal, we’re meandering down to take full advantage of our proximity to Oxford itself! Final toured the Ashmolean Museum and grab lunch at Turf Tavern, or as we locals call it, the Turf! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #photography

We’re finding one of the nicest parts of canal life is learning about and becoming a tiny part of each community you moor near. We’ve learnt so much more about Kidlington now than we did when passing through in 2023! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #photography

A very photographic Thrupp on the Oxford Canal! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #photography

Had the opportunity to cruise! The sun came out to join us from Lower Heyford to Thrupp. Lost our detachable iPhone SSD and all the other footage on it 🤨 Check out Wendy vying for her CRT credentials at the lock!!! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #Lowerheyford #Thrupp

Are we getting bored with the abundance of wildlife on the English Canals? Nope. We know swans are mean, beg for food and think they can go head to head with a narrowboat. But they’re still beautiful! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #canallife
