Life after the boat show brings a mix of restlessness and productivity. We’re navigating the "slow living" transition, balancing allotment harvests, and pondering the reality of being cut off from transport. From the ancient history of drovers' paths to a minor banking drama, at the local Aldi, this week is all about finding the rhythm in a life that’s forever changing. We also share our latest seasonal kitchen experiments—spoiler: there are lots of broad beans involved!

In this week's episode, we finally get the microphones working (on the fifth attempt!) to bring you a dispatch from our favorite "wild mooring." We dive into the quiet magic of 4:00 AM sunrises and the curiosity of "two sleeps," while checking in on the allotment—including the miraculous survival of our volunteer tomato, Jim.

In this episode, we dive into the highs and lows of a tech-induced sleepless night and the surprising joy of "de-teching." From the challenges of mastering a vintage-style digital audio player (don't call it an iPod!) to the nostalgic thrill of finding a wooden Spear & Jackson saw for a pound at the village jumble sale, we explore the balance between modern gadgets and old-school simplicity.

We also celebrate a major milestone: five years since moving onto our boat, Laura Maisie. We reflect on the journey from our first boat, Constanze, to life in our "sardine tin" today. Plus, we discuss the hazards of 'Bluetooth waves', the absolute agony of a Chinese foot massage, and why you should never trust a ball of "mohair" without a burn test.

Stick around for talk of allotments, library audiobooks, and our upcoming train trek across London with Archie the dog!

A slightly different one this week…
We wake to the eerie, beautiful call of cranes just beyond the boat — a rare sight in the UK and something that still stops us in our tracks. From misty mornings and ancient landscapes to swallows returning and a surprise bittern sighting, it’s been a proper nature-filled week.
But it’s not just about wildlife. We talk about the quiet kindness of people — strangers stepping in to help when it really matters — and how those small acts spread further than you think.
There’s also a heartfelt chat about a book that genuinely moved us (Tuesdays with Morrie) and why it might just change the way you look at life and relationships.
And, of course, it wouldn’t be one of our podcasts without a bit of a moan… this week it’s a big one.
We finish on lighter things — spring weather (briefly!), Archie living his best life, and somehow… cheese dreams.
