Just two grown-ups pretending to have their act together while juggling life between a narrowboat & random adventures around the world

Spoiler: we don’t really. If you like watching people wing it through travel, navigation fails, and questionable decisions, this is for you

Yes. In so many ways. It’s incredible how a country that considers itself ‘civilised’ waves through a school shooting every week like it’s completely normal.

It’s formal night… and as luck would have it the last thing we did in the UK was go to a friend’s wedding… so we have our suits with us!

Still no chance of him recognising the Brexit he’s proud to have implemented was and continues to be a disaster. Fool.

Thank you! The Amalfi coast is STILL on my list. We almost went last week but went to Cagliari instead (which was glorious!)

Rain, fire, and slow living on the canal. Come and get cozy with us as we share what off-grid life on our narrowboat is really like...

Just opened the curtains and we’re passing through the Messina Strait!

Mainland Italy is on the right, Sicily is on the left.

This one was a lovely one to film. We show the things we have to consider when living off-grid, and why we love it so much. (Miss Marple is also featured).

When all said and done, Trump is just a nasty racist.

The black guy who had his job managed to get the peace prize and THAT is why he wants it.

Just ordered a double vodka, forgetting that on MSC a double is a quadruple.

It’s bonkers. They’ve named a normal corridor the ‘Ponte dei Sospiri’ 😂

There is a whole area of the ship that’s a tribute to [the Las Vegas version of] Venice. I am OBSESSED.
