Somewhere in time…🕰️ Sharing the magic of English narrowboating. Tips, tales, history and stunning scenery. NBS Radio presenter🎙️📻
I’m usually quite discreet when filming but at 50 secs, I was caught out by a Yorkshireman! 🤣
All fixed, full power restored to the warp engines. Batteries and auxiliaries full power. The trouble is I love it here..❤️ I’m kinda sad that I need to move on. Alas, I shall not move this weekend. I’m just going to chill and stay here for two more days. I need to charge me up🙏
UPDATE: I’m still a little tired and low on energy. Some things just catch up with you, but I’m fine. Tomorrow my boat will be fixed and then I’ll be on my way next week. I’m staying in this beautiful spot for the weekend, just because I like it here. It just feels ‘right’..❤️
I’ve always been drawn to the Pleiades star system since I was a child on this very boat. Out here the stars are so bright. Beneath the hush of night, they speak in silence, their ancient light stitched across the sky, reminding us that beauty needs no sound to be heard.

Life is beautiful. You have to be thankful that we are living. Wherever you look there is beauty. I know about the bad things, but I look for the good things.
Somewhere in time, a kettle whistles on a narrowboat, mist curls off the canal, and a heron takes flight. Unchanged for centuries, the English waterways just carry on whispering their quiet magic❤️
NBS Radio, playing all the sounds and hits from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Music from bygone times, oldies but goldies. Drift away where the water flows, peace and quiet, where time slows. With NBS, you’re by the waterside!❤️
Always be willing to walk alone, many who started out with you won’t finish with you. I learned somewhat painfully, that you can’t control outcomes. You can only control your reaction to them. Do the right thing, regardless. Even when no one is watching, it’s just more peaceful🙏

In the end, silence is more faithful than people. So I walk with it instead. I used to reach for hands. Now I reach for balance. One day you stop asking who’s coming with you. You just start walking, and doing your own thing..🙏

Moored beneath a sweet summer sky, this old workboat rests on the quiet English cut, a steel reminder of the waterways’ working past, now wrapped in birdsong, breeze, and timeless peace..❤️

A debt-free, quiet life is richer than a flashy life built on borrowed money.

A glimpse into canal life of old England, families, horse-drawn narrowboats, and waterside cottages. A hardworking way of life, etched into the banks of Britain’s great industrial past. 🇬🇧

We’re continuing with the 60’s Radio Caroline 📻 mood here with Mood Mosaic and a Touch of Velvet. You’re listening to NBS Radio, where water flows and time slows. With NBS, you’re by the waterside!❤️ youtu.be/QqHVm4o8uvU?si…
