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

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.

It’s not her. It’s the proper one.

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 felt like sharing this today. No reason.

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.

I love how gloriously kitsch it is.

Also, despite the fact that he’s basically wearing the Ukraine flag in this photograph, the fact is that he could end the war with a stroke of his pen, by arming Ukraine properly… except he had a nice dinner with Putin instead.

This is what the Nobel Committee ACTUALLY said.

Sorry Donald. Most of the world can see you for what you are.
When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist.
Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended - with words, with courage and with determination.

I think I’d find it very easy to lecture him.

“I did this thing for money, please don’t cancel me” is the crux here.

Don’t you have to be dead to be canonised?

Norway should say the he can’t win it this year [because he’s essentially declared war on half of the country he leads], but if he’s a good boy, they’ll think about giving it to him when he’s no longer in office.

Dangle that fucking carrot like he’s a toddler and use it to stop him hurting people.

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them
