Добавлен 27 мар 2020
I'm Dave, living a positive, peaceful and mindful life aboard my floating narrowboat home, on a British canal. From that of sadness, after losing my wife to cancer, suffering from depression and homelessness, I've turned my life around, I decided to make a change to my life, by living off grid on a canal boat. This alternative way of living has slowed my life down, and brought me to a place where I can live a lot more in the present moment. This new lifestyle has brought me closer to nature, and closer to discovering more about myself, helping me find out my purpose in life. NOW, I'm more confident, NOW, more positive, NOW, more creative, and most importantly, I'm a happier person. Dave

Thanks for reply
Hi, Dave. I've only just found your channel, and I subscribed and liked as soon as I had finished watching it. Yours is a narrowboat channel with a difference. It isn't all about travelling, although it does have enough to enjoy the different scenery. But the big difference is the way you look at nature and talk about it in such an interesting, relaxing way. I'll be trying to find some of your previous videos. Thank you for some brilliant photography, too. Not just brief glimpses, but long enough to take it all in and enjoy it. It's is wonderful.☺
Thank you for tuning into my channel, and thank you for your kind words . Welcome onboard 🙏 Dave
My absolute favourite animal's voice is a donkey, it's so cheerful, almost like they are laughing....🥰 I could watch each one of your vlogs about 20 times, they are so so peaceful you have a magic ability to see the beauty in everything, better still you know how to capture it so you can share it, that is a real talent. Thank you again for all the peace and bliss you give us. 🙏
Thank you for your lovely kind words, for tuning into my channel and for subscribing 🙏 Dave
Super storytelling. What camera did you use to capture the kingfisher so amazingly clear please?
You mean fate came your way and Intervened well every Christmas I give to two charities, I give what I can afford 👍
Sorry to hear about your mum, and at least she’s on the mend ❤
Thankyou, mums doing really well now, and now 93 years old!
No I usually watch you on my mobile phone , although I do see you from time to time on my computer
Yes we have to make sure we enjoy outside while the weather is good , but as you say it won’t last for long , 👍
Everything is temporary 🙏
Wow Dave such a peaceful walk along the water way, and the music really suits it, all the beauty of the trees and the birds so amazing for you ❤
Amazing inspiring words for us all Dave🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you 🙏 Dave

What an absolutely fantastic video. I've been dealing with traumatic incidents for the past 28 years. This is the life I want to live when I retire in the next few months(don't know about my wife.) Thankyou for opening my eyes. The King fisher made me cry, such joy in the natural world.
Thanks for watching 🙏 Dave

ogni tuo video, è il miglior documentario della natura meravigliosa che ci ospita. Grazie Dave. 💙🕉
Grazie 🙏 Dave
great symbolism for how to live life , nature always shows us the answers and communicates constantly , it's if we listen that matters . Will share and I have subbed but I find every time I sub to most channels now , it is unsubbed so sorry if that is the case , this was so beautiful 🥰
Thank you for tuning in and for the sub 🙏
Yes that’s right everything is connected to nature, but saying that, your more connected to nature than I ever could be, I always look into life with an open mind, there is good and bad in our world, but I always open my eyes to that I love , and your life is so wonderful I just connect to who you are and how you always make me feel better after I watch one of your tranquil videos 👍❤
I loved the way the edges of the leaves were in frozen ice and the green ness of the leaf showing through such is your life and the beauty you see through each day and night ❤
Do you know Dave there aren’t many people who would get up as early as you did to watch the sun rise and listen to the dawns chorus as early as you did In freezing temperatures, although you had a thermos of coffee ☕️
First time viewing your channel. I love the peacefulness you shared. Just a lovely video all around. I too would love to one day find a peaceful life, reflect and find myself ,thank you for sharing the beautiful canal in winter.. Cheers from Missouri USA.
Another wonderful video with beautiful scenery. You’re so lucky to live this kind of life every day. It would be my dream, but I’m happy enough to feel the peace and calm through watching your films. Thank you.😊
Just beautiful , i gasped at the kingfisher as i just know how i would feel seeing that right in front of me :)
Always enjoy the vlogs Dave … have to ask..what make is the chair you sit on on the roof ?? 👍
Thank you for a perfect start to my day. Beautiful scenery and words of wisdom!❤️

Another great inspiring (and relaxing) video. You have the most atmospheric photography of any narrowboat RUclipsr by some distance.l
I've seen kingfisher on the canal
🙏
It is so relaxing, with beautiful scenery and wildlife; thank you for sharing your adventures with us all. May you long continue.
Thank you 🙏
Did you lower the volume on this? It was my favorite morning video on my fire stick tv, sipping coffee, drifting along to birdsong... And now I can't hear a thing. It's not my TV, even on my android tablet at full volume I can't hear it. Oh well, I guess all good things eventually come to an end.
Hi 👋. No sound still there, I've just checked.
@@inspiredbynature3 Wow, thanks for getting back so quickly! Nope, still almost no sound, on all my devices.Nothing from my TV sound bar, but if I put my ear on my tablet there is a very, very faint sound. Other RUclips videos are all at normal volume. I'm subscribed to you and watch all my vids on my fire stick tv account, which doesn't have an option for commenting, (so I use my android with no subscriptions to comment, in case you were wondering). Thanks again. Beautiful channel you have.
There is no narration or music on this video, just bird song, bit of water movement sound and faint drone of the engine.
Can’t beat living on a boat I used to love staying on my mates broads cruiser on the Norfolk and Suffolk broads the mist on the water at 4.30-6 in the morning you can’t beat just subscribed mate Awsome little channel on boating
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Welcome onboard 🙏 Dave
a lovely few moments of much needed calm, wishing many days like these - thank you
Such a wonderful blog. So relaxing, peaceful and thought provoking. I am envious of your lifestyle but also inspired to achieve the same outcome. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us.
I your your channel came up in my feeds and that is so funny I have fallen in love with your channel and could listen to it all day funn the gentleman on your channel talking about dowsing he did a great joby
Just found your channel. Really enjoyed your video, with its Alan Watts like intro, well done imaging and contemplative sensibility. This is what I dream living on a narrow boat would be like. Subscribed. Cheers from Toronto.
Thank you for tuning in, watching, and subscribing 🙏 Dave
