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

Nice!

Through the mighty Bratch Locks, major thanks to the wonderful CRT Volunteers who saw us through easily. This view was just before the locks, a rare sunlit moment. #boatlife #canal #narrowboat #KeepCanalsAlive #photography #birds #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature

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

I just signed the campaign calling on Prime Minister Keir Starmer: Do not allow the USA to use British military bases for strikes on Iran, and give MPs a vote in Parliament. act.38degrees.org.uk/act/Do-not-a...

Couldn’t believe how bright the sky was at 03:30 this morning. Obviously it still wasn’t bright enough for the swan.

The #narrowboat is definitely moving along! Chris, Charlotte, and John at Smithwood Narrowboats are making our new home a beautiful addition to the amazing English Canals! The interior looks equally as stunning! #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel

Man who feels he doesn’t need European allies, and couldn’t even be bothered to let them know he was starting an unsanctioned war, isn’t feeling that allied love. 🤷‍♂️ www.reuters.com/world/europe...

All politics to one side (only because I don’t want to get started) but I don’t think one of our travel adventures has ever been involved with a modern war before! The Burj Al Arab was struck by Iranian missiles! Wow. #TravelSky #TravelAddicts #Travel #Dubai youtu.be/aeBCjCxn6e8?...

Looks like lobbyists and corporate donors got their moneys worth. A case of Tax Credits are great for me but not thee🤷‍♂️ Tax credits for solar panels are available, but the catch is you can't own them! www.npr.org/2026/02/20/n...

THERE’S POWER IN BOYCOTTING!

Anyone who doesn’t realize women are simply smarter than men just doesn’t get it.

Are you watching Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

Hate we had to experience another SOTU with this guy, but love the cartoons!

Love this.

THIS is definitely on the travel bucket list!

Wet days of muddy towpaths tend to fade away from memory with a view like this. #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #photography

Why would you moor at Somerton Meadow, there’s nothing there? Exactly! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk

Cruised south on the Oxford after a quick decision trying to stay one step ahead of the weather! It’s so very cool to see Wendy’s growing confidence and skills steering the narrowboat. Not quite to navigating into a lock yet, but it won’t be long now!!! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk

Cruised today from Aynho wharf to Somerton Meadows. It was cold, fortunately didn’t rain but you could still see our breath as we spoke. What more can I say that would top the deep thoughts from Wendy 🤷‍♂️ And yes, she’s absolutely steering! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel

Amazing and sad, all at the same time.

Personal circumstances and the excessive rain may’ve kept us from cruising up to Banbury, but the first sunny day gave us the chance to get there by bus. And then there was this amazing morning sight walking to Deddington! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #Deddington #Banbury #travel

It’s Monday, so it must be water point day!! A 60ft cruise to the other side of the canal to fill up with water and washing going at the same time! Maybe squeeze a shower in. Most importantly, keeping an eye on our priceless mooring spot!!! Love life on the canals! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk

Incredible!!!

I’m absolutely going to steal this saying! Beautifully said.

When we first cruised by Somerton Meadows waaaay back in 2023, it became a place on our canal bucket list. Now as continuous cruisers, not only were we able to moor there, but the wet weather broke for a glorious evening, and we had it all to ourselves❤️ #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk

Mount Gower climb on Lord Howe Island - 875m elevation gain in 3.8km - so about 23% average incline. Absolutely stunning views of the entire island. The ropes were very handy!

Our first visit to the facilities as continuous cruisers!! This one was more complicated than any visit we did with our short term hires as we were running the washing machine while we filled with water. May’ve even snuck a shower in while filling the tank👀 #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals

Two things about this reel of #Japan. 1)Check out our view of My Fifino from our hotel in Tokyo! 2) We were upset we couldn’t get in a certain robot cafe, but found avatar instead. Watch our video do know why this place is amazing! #TravelSky #TravelAddicts #Travel

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

#boatlife day 666, on the Trent & Mersey Appropriate pic from the archive given all the rain at the mo. The American on the hire boat was heard to express his appreciation for getting the full British experience ☔🌧️ #ukcanals #canal #narrowboat #KeepCanalsAlive #FundBritainsWaterways

Here’s the question. What items should there be on a ‘continuous cruiser’ bingo card to show you’ve totally become one? ✅ Rescued an unpinned narrowboat. ✅ Bought gas and diesel from a fuel boat. ✅ Have spent as much time cleaning off mud than we have cruising! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals

We’re officially starting a new chapter of our traveling life, that of continuous cruisers. On a rental while waiting for #narrowboat to be finished. Yesterday, we rescued our first unpinned narrowboat and today a wander in the rain while we try to work out exactly what the Cherwell is up to!

Imagine living next to 25,000 tonnes of rotting, rat-infested rubbish. This is reality for families in Bickershaw right now and the land is owned by the King. We’re calling on the King to take responsibility and clear up this toxic mess. Will you add your name? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ki...

Wendy and I are picking up a #narrowboat on Sunday to start our life as continuous cruisers. This means we have an overnight stay right in the heart of #Oxford which turned into leaving our hotel to grab some food. I can sincerely say I love the night vibe of this college town!

With no purposeful timing, I’d like to take this opportunity to note @markhamillofficial.bsky.social is not just a national treasure, but an international one. Forget Obi Wan, Mr Hamill is our only hope (well amongst others;) 😉

It’s no surprise that Mason, yet another biased journo, fails to point out that Burnham was asking the NEC to breach a party rule affecting current mayors, a rule that was implemented by Conference just 15 months ago. And that he surely knew about.

While I feel empathy with the individuals, it really is an unstoppable technology shift. Historic examples of this kind of shift are many, like the disappearance of blacksmiths when cars replaced horses. Meet the translation professionals losing their jobs to AI | share.google/aSpjHvxXpDo0...

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Another incredible reel from Wendy looking at our time in #Harajuku on #TakeshitaStreet in #Japan And yes it was as much fun as it looks. Our time there is included in our latest Japan video on our YouTube channel! #TravelSky #TravelAddicts #Travel #LoveTwoTravel #photography

This is insanely awesome and I would definitely suggest it be included in our #narrowboat build. Of course, it would be a strong and flat no from Wendy 😳

10/10. No notes.

This is the very definition of extortion. The world needs to put trade agreements to one side and draw a line in the global sand. You cannot negotiate with a terrorist. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

#travel is as much about what’s found along the way rather than the destination itself. Such was the case with our move from the US to England. The evening before flying out of #LAX we had the opportunity to check out #SantaMonicaPier ! As a gamer would say, nice #sidemission! #TravelAddicts

Wendy takes the pictures, I the video. Interesting to see a different viewpoint of our travel adventures! This reel looks at our time in #Nikko #Japan . It may look like you can’t fill more than a few days with exploring, but you certainly can!!! #TravelSky #TravelAddicts #photography

Wendy threw together a reel of #KingsLynn and some surrounding areas, just two wide-eyed people from across the pond trying to get their bearings! And yes, that is me, driving in #England after being away for 38 years, through the tiny #Southgate none the less!!!

We had the opportunity to visit my uncle who lives in #Ely. Aside from a tour of his very classic boat, we enjoyed the beauty and tranquility of the river. We may or may not have spent too much time in the waterside Cutter Inn😏 Amazing. #Narrowboat #Englishcanals #EnglishRivers

The Jesuit Church of St. Ignatius may humbly beautiful for a church but is part of the more famous moments in television. Visitors in Dubrovnik, Croatia must walk up the Jesuit Steps to see it, and of course Cersei Lannister walked down this same steps in #GameofThrones #Croatia #Dubrovnik
