Ice Maker Fix & Lunch with Friends | Daily Vlog | Tues 15th July (2025)
Glenn fixed a broken ice maker (he loves a challenge!), and I caught up with friends for a quick lunch at the garden centre. A productive day with just the right amount of social in it!

A Trip to Derby | Daily Vlog | Mon 14th July (2025)
We took my mum to Derby to visit her brother. It was so lovely to see my aunt and uncle—it’s been a while, and time with family always feels special.

An Unexpected Turn of Events | Daily Vlog | Sat 12th July (2025)
Some days go to plan, and others take a surprising twist—this one definitely did! Louise and Dave, who live miles away, just happened to be in the area and we got to catch up. And then something else unexpected happened too… a lovely, surprising day.

We Bought Another Boat! | Daily Vlog | Sun 13th July (2025)
Well… we did it. We’ve bought another boat! This has always been the plan—our little trio of small spaces: a flat, a narrowboat, and something for the river and sea. Deb had a glut of broad beans, so we made hummus (delicious!), and Chloe and Aarran came round for dinner.

Ep 398 | A Surprise Catch-Up, A New Boat & Bingo Wins (Well, Some!) | Weekly Vlog | 18th July (2025)

Some weeks unfold quietly, others take you by surprise. This one had a bit of both! From an unexpected visit with friends to buying another boat (yes—another!), to catching up with family and walking further than planned along the canal. There’s bingo, bean hummus, shed building, and a lovely dinner out to wrap it all up. Just a week of real life, with plenty of small joys along th

Back to Northampton & Garden Crochet | Daily Vlog | Fri 11th July (2025)
We travel back to Northampton. It’s hot when we arrive, but we find a shady spot in Deb’s garden, listen to the birdsong, and I crack on with my crochet. A peaceful end to a busy week.

Hot Weather & A Dartmoor Safari | Daily Vlog | Thurs 10th July (2025)
It’s a scorcher of a day, so we take Janet to explore Dartmoor. The roads are full of cows, sheep, and wild ponies—it feels more like a safari than a day out in Devon!

Haircut Day & A Drink at The Seven Stars | Daily Vlog | Wed 9th July (2025)
It’s haircut day—and I love it! It’s short and fresh and just what I needed. We take a walk along the high street and stop for a drink at The Seven Stars Hotel.

Busy Work Day & Sainsbury’s Run | Daily Vlog | Tues 8th July (2025)
A busy day at work as I wrap up a big project. In the evening, we head to Sainsbury’s for supplies, and I get my eyebrows done while we’re out. Small wins!

New Computer Day & A Volunteering Opportunity | Daily Vlog | Mon 7th July (2025)
Glenn checks out a new volunteering role, and my new computer arrives—hurrah! I take Janet to the train station so she can book her ticket to Penzance for the next day.

Tech Trouble & A New Computer | Weekend Vlog

Sat 5th July (2025)
Trying to upload this week’s video turns into a battle—and I have to admit defeat. In the evening, I walk into Brixham to meet Glenn after work. The stroll was just what I needed to reset.

Sun 6th July (2025)
Tech woes continue, and I finally bite the bullet and order a new computer. Janet and I go for a wander around Totnes and stumble across the historic Guildhall. We end the afternoon in a cosy pub enjoying a traditional Sunday roast.

Ep 397 | Tech Troubles, Totnes Exploring & A Dartmoor Safari | Weekly Vlog | 11th July (2025)

This week has been full of little moments—from tech frustrations and haircuts to hot weather adventures across Dartmoor. I finally admit defeat and order a new computer, we explore Totnes and Dartmoor, and wrap up the week with crochet in Deb’s sunny garden.

A Life Full of Meaning

A couple of years ago we found ourselves rattling around in a house too big for us. Our four children had all left home and started families of their own, so we decided to downsize. We put the house on the market and it sold quickly, Lisa decided that it would be a great idea if we got rid of ALL of our belongings.

She thought it would be a good idea to empty our life of stuff and put it back together with ‘stuff’ that was more meaningful - her plan was to create A Life Full of Meaning.

Our page follows our journey - from moving out - to buying a narrowboat. We share our experience of living on a narrowboat, plus our life in Northampton. Our children, grandchildren and extended family play a pivotal role in our lives, along with members of our extended family.
