I'm so glad the Winter's over now and we're finally free to travel again [Music]
this is the fifth spring we're witnessing on our narrowboat we had no idea what it would
be like four years ago buying our home but let me tell you life on a boat as we hovered
is way better than we have ever imagined it makes me think about how sometimes I resist
change and I worry about potential difficulties but most of the time if not every time the
experience of the new Step far outshines anything I had in mind [Music]
today is one of those legendary days when I realize how far we've come and how much
we've been able to achieve taking this road [Music]
thank you foreign
have you ever wondered what origins or at least you are oh I've definitely been interested
in looking at my family tree I'm pretty sure I'm adopted and if not I'm pretty sure my
dad's 80 Neanderthal are we gonna find out today a few weeks ago we were very lucky to
partner up with my Heritage and we received this beautiful DNA kits so we've got the kits
today it's very easy so we're gonna do a chick swab
the tests were very easy to use all we had to do is a chick swab that only takes a couple
of minutes
and today the results are in hopefully we're not related these results not only include
ethnicity breakdown but can also help you to connect with your relatives so I'm 85.2
north and west European I'm 12 Scandinavian and 2.4 Jewish my dad's once said he was like
10 Jewish or something my Nan's side way back when there might have been a little bit of
French and then on my mum's dad's side way way way back when there might have been a
little bit of Irish but English zero percent what
I don't think I could be any more English drink more tea than anyone
and 40 Europeans
[Music] 34 voted I'll explain why you're always cold
and six percent Asian that's not all I'm also five percent Balkan I'm all over the place
um six percent Central Asian I wouldn't be surprised because of the 500 years of Mongolian
ego remember I told you about Finland no my mom is mordovian and the roots of that ethnicity
has correlations or the same roots with Finnish uh peoples mordovia is in central Russia wow
that was so exciting that was really really exciting you're a bit Welsh you're 2.4 Irish
Scottish and Welsh oh here you go this is the 10 of an unknown there's four percent
finish you're more Jewish than I am uh 3.6 Jewish and Irish Scottish and well two percent

hello everyone and
we have our returning guest this week Susan George who are again on a cruise with us to
Oxford so it's bank holiday weekend yesterday was incredibly rainy it literally felt like
somebody turned on a shower um and I ended up having to wear my sailing jacket just to
get the bow chores done so today the weather is amazing we've just started our cruise was
set sail from Pangborn and today we're aiming to get to Wallingford which should probably
be about three to four hours thank you so much for joining us again this week welcome
to the episode hi Susie say hello my Gorgeous George gorgeous we build George a pillow staircase
so he can get up the stairs up the sofa without having to jump because George is 13 years
old and he needs a little bit of help what's going on with Linda oh the boat that's looking
like it's sinking basically it's been raining loads and it's filled up with water a few
times and I've emptied it if I haven't taken it out of the water some of that rain water
then drains into the boat so it actually needs training so it's actually full of water inside
the fiberglass as it should be
yeah we set off quite late so we didn't have lunch and it's already four o'clock so I'm
going to fix a very quick snack we've got some gases so I'm gonna make that for a snack
and then we're gonna have a proper dinner when we get to Wellingford how is it really
nice sorry about just a little bit [Music] good yeah
[Music] we're just getting into Goring and there we can unload our recycling which we've
got a lot of question is are we going to get orders today or tomorrow it makes sense to
do it today because tomorrow the journey is much longer however there would point out
leaves a lot can be unreliable and very slow
[Music]
so we just came out of khalif's lock where we've taken our doggies for a little walk
and topped up our wood tank it's not full yet so we're gonna do a proper job tomorrow
we don't want to get to warning for too late so Cleaves look was the last one before we
arrived and I think we have about two hour Cruise um and we're going to be there so we
actually just had an adventure on the way but I didn't feel any of it because there
wasn't any time oh so we were approaching a lot you were driving weren't you and all
of a sudden the engine cut out which was worrying but the way cut out was not how it's ever
done before in it just kind of very quietly in the past when the engines cut out it's
because of overheating but we bled the tanks today because we hadn't moved for month too
it couldn't have been that I immediately thought they might be something to do with fuel yeah
it just feel like it's just something stopped it anyway when we opened up the engine bay
we could just smell fuel so I was having a look around in there we ended up using a budge
all and got to the nearest tree a signature move and then I found basically that the fuel
filter had come loose the fuel wasn't running through the engine so I perishly undid it
but I had my hands so hot handed like under the engine bay that I I couldn't actually
let get it out because my hand was all around other bits of equipment and then I had to
get my other hand in to pull it out but I was so close to Falling face first into the
engine bay and luckily miles been able to work out what actually happened and now we're
checking enough
you want to be the
lovely George
thinking it was the last challenge for today we blissfully continued forward [Music]
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
boat with its Mast up and went under another bridge that is almost identical to the one
in Goring
[Music] then the dinghy that was already wonky fully went underwater what's happened
he's trying to feed the dogs and
we do um [Music] try and get it out
here it's Australia not sinking yeah
all right we managed to get it back
floating but it's needs emptying
we turn this thing around it's floating at the moment I'm hoping we can drag it out to
Welling for it and then empty there and sort of out properly nothing has gone according
to plan today I can't believe the dinghy is misbehaved and it's almost sung and we've
lost the pump to get the water out of the dinghy and both of the oars
yeah I just I can't believe it I just really want to get to Wallingford in one piece with
all of the equipment and just have a have a break from all of this Adventures
I think it's come to the end of our time with xender and then gonna re-float her and then
put her up for sale I think we've lost the oars now
the rest of the journey required watching xender like Hawks and pulling the Rope high
up to stop it from going under again
[Music]
we're just getting through the Wallingford Bridge so we made it here hopefully there
are Moorings
but I can't see them from here just yet looks like there is a space we ended up Mooring
up here for a few minutes to sort out the dinghy and wait for the Moorings to become
available on the other side as we've just lost the pump miles is emptying xender by
hand
