Our World This Week is a weekly podcast from Fran and Rich, creators of the Floating Our Boat YouTube channel.

For the past eight years, we’ve been cruising the canals and rivers of Britain aboard our narrowboat Laura Maisie. In this podcast, we slow things down a little — talking honestly about life afloat, the everyday moments that shape our weeks, and the thoughts that surface when you choose a life less ordinary.

More personal and candid than our videos, Our World This Week offers a quieter window into our lives — reflections, stories, with the occasional laugh along the way.

An End of an Era? Our Big Canal Decision

Episode 17

dimanche 15 février 2026Duration 52:34

After eight years of cruising, we’ve made a big decision.

A letter from the Canal and River Trust pushed us to rethink how we live aboard. We’ve taken on a mooring on the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal — not to settle permanently, but to slow down and protect the life we’re building with our allotment and creative work.

We talk rain, blossom, spinning, sheds, funding for the canals, and finding contentment without constantly chasing miles.

Sometimes freedom means moving less.

Noises in the Night & Reasons We Didn’t Choose Normal

Episode 16

vendredi 30 janvier 2026Duration 46:50

This week was meant to be simple. It wasn’t.

Noises in the night, allotment chaos and conversations about why a “normal” life never really suited us. This episode wanders through shed talk, dogs aboard, nightime storms and the joy of choosing freedom — with a laugh never far behind.
