- It’s 32 degrees on the boat, and we are trying to stay "zen" while our power inverter throws a fit! In this week's episode, we share our recent visit to the RHS Flower Show, and how we are preparing for our next big adventure: judging the Aqua Vista in Bloom garden competition.
From struggling with our allotment plants to rethinking our stance on air fryers, it’s been a week of learning and slow-living challenges. We also touch on our recent sports-viewing marathons and the importance of helping local wildlife during these hot days.

Whether we're debating the proper way to serve a cream tea or discussing our gardening heroes, it’s all about living in the moment. Melt with us for a chat in the summer heat!

About Our World This Week
Our World This Week is a (mostly) 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.You can also find us on YouTube at Floating Our Boat: https://www.youtube.com/@FloatingOurBoatThanks for following,Fran and Rich Hosted on Acast.
