Ep 169 Weekly Video Diary

Video Diary | Narrowboat Vlog | Sun 31 Feb I want to go for a walk on some ‘proper’ pavement rather than the muddy footpath. Glenn attempts to fix the wheelbarrow tyre but there is a big hole in the inner tube. I make a website for vloggl in the evening, you can check it out at https://vloggl.com/

Video Diary | Narrowboat Vlog | Mon 1 Feb Glenn heads to Northampton. I go for a walk and dodge the cars and lorries while walking on the road. I step onto a muddy path and then get impaled by a large thorn which went through the sole of my boot and into my foot. It takes over 20 minutes of standing on one foot in the mud to remove the thorn! I was very sad! I soon cheered up when Glenn came home and brought with him an Amazon delivery, it was a gift from Louise from @NB Changing Pace – it was a game called Sequence. I am really looking forward to playing this!

Check out Sequence on Amazon https://amzn.to/39TM8T6

Later in the day, I cook a creamy lentil dish from Hello Fresh – it wasn’t one of my favourites. We release the second episode of Vloggl and Glenn, Dave and Jeff have another Engine Room Chat.

Video Diary | Narrowboat Vlog | Tues 2 Feb It is Layla’s 3rd Birthday today, I am sad that we won’t be seeing her but we do get to say ‘Happy Birthday’ on FaceTime. Glenn rememberers his Dad who would have also celebrated his birthday today. We head into Leighton Buzzard as Glenn needs to pick something up from the shops, I take the opportunity to do some urban walking. We discover there is a market in the town and I come across a zero-waste stall, which is good to see, it’s called The Good Life Refill and you can check it out at www.thegoodliferefill.com When we get back to the boat we play Sequence which is the game Louise gave me for my Birthday, it was simple to pick up and fun to play, Glenn won the first two games. I don’t fancy cooking the Hello Fresh meal tonight so we have jacket potatoes with tuna mayo instead. In the evening I watch some narrowboat vlogs for next weeks Vloggl.

Video Diary | Narrowboat Vlog | Wed 3 Feb We head over to my mums to pick up our Hello Fresh box and to have Fish and Chip lunch. My new ’standing desk’ arrives and I am very impressed with it. Video Diary |

Narrowboat Vlog | Thur 4 Feb Our daughter is going into hospital today for an operation, I feel edgy so we decide to get out of the boat and distract ourselves. We head to McDonald’s for breakfast and then we drop off some Christmas and Birthday Presents to Harry. It was sad that we couldn’t go in and spend some time with them but we waved hello from the driveway. I spend the afternoon watching more vlogs for vloggl and then cook a delicious Hello Fresh dinner.

Video Diary | Narrowboat Vlog | Fri 5 Feb We pick up the Lingovie Cards from the printers. We are really excited to see them.

Video Diary | Narrowboat Vlog | Sat 6 Feb Jules Fuels can’t get to us because the lock is still shut. We managed to pick up a delivery that is dropped off at Mirimar’s boat. The weather forecast is for heavy snow so we head to the shops for some supplies just in case we get snowed in. 

Ep 423 Not the Start of the Year I’d Planned

This week wasn’t quite the one I had in mind. It started with a much-needed breath of fresh air on the Cornish coast, but then took a few unexpected turns, forcing a slowdown and a day-at-a-time approach. We eased back into work after the Christmas break, found...

Ep 422 Between Christmas & New Year

We journeyed back home to Devon after a really special Christmas break. It was a slow drive with a brief car wobble. We felt that lovely sense of walking back through our own front door. The days that followed included wild winter seas and train trips. There were...

Ep 421 A Family-Filled Christmas Week

A festive, family-filled week as we wrapped up last Christmas preparations, braved the weather for winter lights, and travelled back to Northampton with plenty of stops for grandkid cuddles along the way. We helped out with Christmas deliveries at The Secret Garden...

Ep 420 Christmas Markets, Winter Walks & Slowing Down

It was a gentle festive week. We edged closer to Christmas. The week was full of cosy moments, changing plans, and that lovely feeling of slowing down. There were a few weather-led detours. We had a windy trip to Cornwall and rainy admin days. The odd plan was put on...

Ep 419 Totnes Christmas Market and Exeter Shopping

A December week filled with crafting, baking, and festive moments. I spent time sewing, baking mince pies, and getting Christmas cards posted despite long queues at the post office. We enjoyed the winter train journey when we went Christmas shopping in Exeter. The...

Ep 418 From Zumba to Christmas Markets | A Very Totnes Week | Weekly Vlogmas | 5 Dec (2025)

This week began with a fresh haircut, and I absolutely love it. Glenn is secretly relieved too, as it means he is officially off hairdressing duty for a while. I also had a lucky visit to a charity shop and came home with some great finds. Later, I headed to Dartmouth...

Ep 417 Totnes Lights, Charity Shop Treasure & Winter Wanders | Weekly Vlog | 28 Nov 2025

The weather took a definite turn this week, so I leaned into slower days, creative moments, and gentle adventures close to home. One very wet day called for staying indoors. I baked, pottered, and watched old episodes of Bridgerton. It felt like exactly the right...

Ep 416 | Festive Lights, Comedy Nights & Winter Coastal Walks | Weekly Vlog | 21 November 2025

This week was a real mix of winter walks, practical jobs, and festive moments creeping in around the edges. We explored some beautiful corners of South Devon, kept up our Sweet of the Week challenge, and even squeezed in a lantern parade and a comedy night right on...

Ep 415 | Train Trips, Dressmaking & Sweet Treats | Weekly Vlog | 14 November 2025

This week was full of small adventures and creative moments. Train journeys, dressmaking joy, sweet treats, and quieter evenings at home all found their place. There was plenty of rain, but also lots of warmth and satisfaction in the everyday. The week began with a...
