What a delightful episode, snake in the water, wagtail trotting on the path, a buzzard and ducks jumping for midges, and that's just for starters. That left me with a warm feeling adding to the warmth of the evening. Thankyou.

Oh ! What a soothing treat it was to view this ! The Pied Wagtail nearly stole the show ! As an American, I never cease to be amazed at all the many and varied species of birds you have roosting in England, it is a treasure-trove of undeniable beauty. The grass snake was looking for a good meal and the baby lambs were in for a lazy snooze. I'm simply in awe at how much I enjoy your poetry Vanesa, the way you voice over your prose while drawing images collected on your journeys is simply original as it is captivating. The fact that the BBC hasn't contracted with you to do a narrowboat series is beyond me, you are at the pinnacle of capturing and then artistically sharing the calming effects of life along the canal both in verse as well as imagery. Thank you once again for sharing this rare talent with us all, the world is so much better for it. I send you and Mr. M. my very best wishes for health, happiness and adventure. May God Bless You Both abundantly.

Hi Vanessa. If you haven't done Worcester yet, the Diglis Fish Pass and subterranean viewing gallery is a must see. It was built specifically for Twaite Shad, but the other twenty five species that have used it, don't know that. However, it's only open on Wednesday afternoons, 14-30 to 16-30, with groups of eighteen allowed in, every twenty minutes, By the way, we met at Woodwalton Fen, quite a while back. Have a great summer.

@themindfulnarrowboat Год назад
I remember you and your wife, David- it is lovely to know you are still following the channel. In my vlog #146 I visited the fish pass and it was amazing! I saw Chubb and Roach but no Twaite Shad, so I’ll have to go back while there is still time. Have a great weekend 🦋🌻

Your comment about following your nose reminded me of Douglas Adams' book "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency". When Dirk goes out in his car he navigates by 'following a car that looks like it knows where it's going. It never took him to where he wanted to go but it always took him to where he needed to be.'

Morning Vanessa--I really enjoy your narrowboat garden that adorns both roof and bow with their variegated blossoms, fruit, and foliage. It must attract a lot of honey and bumblebees, as well as those ants crawling along your roof's edge. I'm glad that your tomatoes weren't knocked asunder as you made your way through the low tunnel. Such a lovely area to cruise plus go on walkies with Zephyr, who had a happy grin on her face. You certainly get your exercise cranking open the various locks. Some seem more difficult than others but fortunately a helping hand always seem to show up in time to lend an assist. I enjoyed the grass snake's serpentine slither through the water while the Pied Wagtail strutted its stuff along the towpath. Enjoy your weekend! Jenny 🦮🐝🌹🥀🍅🥬⛈🌤

Earlier this week when I subscribed, you picked up another “subscriber” - my 5-year old pointer-lab mix, Katie. I took a break from doing my taxes this morning and surfed around RU-vid until I saw this episode. Katie was sleeping in my office and as soon as she heard your voice, came running into the living room, jumped up on the couch and stared at the screen. She loves your channel! Zephyr is one of the few dogs she doesn’t bark at.

Great video as usual. I would expect a narrow boat to be one of the safest places to be during a thunder storm. The boat, being a surrounding metal shell, will act as a Faraday cage and, if lightening does strike it the electricity will be guided around the outside into the earth and all inside will be safe and sound. Happy boating and keep up the wonderful work.

Yet another lovely little video. Yes there are quite a few accidents with people not watching out at bridges, I was going under the railway bridge from Ely to the Fish & Duck and my sister was one the roof admiring the cows on the bank, she could see the bridge and I thought all was fine and next thing I know she got distracted by frolicking cows and forgot about the bridge, luckily it hit her on the side of her head but it knocked her flying and she nearly rolled of the roof, there was nothing I could do from my vantage point on the tiller, I felt so helpless, I screamed duck but she was oblivious. All was well thank God, she is a tough old boot my sis, but all the same I kept phoning her for a few days to make sure there was no lasting damage. My friend had exactly the same thing happen. The thing with a wide beam is there is such a great space on the roof for chairs etc and getting a great view from up there! You should check out the low bridges tiny movie I sent you on another comment.

I must do this canal. Looks pretty but hard work for single boaters. Can you remember the Slough arm canal and could I do it in summer? Silver prop down there? Great vlog as usual Mindful family.

Hi Will, I do remember the Slough Arm, but I was there in the winter and it was really easy. Looking at what you have done to date though, I would say that you’d find it a breeze, even if it might be a bit shallow. Have a Cricktastic weekend!🦋🌻

Hello Simon, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I didn’t get any ants inside the boat- not that I have noticed anyway- plenty of spiders though which I enjoy watching. I read your brochure last night and I think your boat is brilliant- I’ll send you an email this evening. I am so excited for you🤗 Have a great weekend 🦋🌻

Hi Mary, it is so lovely to know that you watch the vids twice- thank you so much.🤗 The Hawthorn blossom has been incredible this year- so many people are talking about it. I haven't tried hawthorn tea, but I will now. Have a super rest of the weekend, take care🦋🌻

Your videos always impress me! This one no different, and I love that you follow your nose(but also glad you have a map!). Your knowledge of plants, insects, birds is impressive -- is it a skill acquired from your previous life, or did you develop it since moving onto a narrowboat?

@themindfulnarrowboat Год назад
Hi Deb, I am also glad that I had a map too!😅 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I have always had an interest in nature but I have started to learn more about the wildlife around me since I have been on the boat. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻

I hope I am not the 100th person to ask you but have you watched the movie "Where Crawdads sing" ? The movie reminded me of you regarding the art and nature knowledge !

How nice you have cards to buy. Cool. I tried but not got any sales yet. Lovely to be here again. Good to have sunshine at last. Makes us all happy. Scary to be on your boat in a thunder storm. It is bad enough in a house. Zephyr is such a lovely dog and I am not a dog person. So how much free solar heat do you get per week?
@themindfulnarrowboat

Hi Vanessa, this time of year we have enough solar to power us through with all of our electrical items. It is so good having the solar panels. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend, take care🌻🦋

Good to see the grass snake. Point of fact, ALL SNAKES ARE VENOMOUS, just that the only one considered venomous in UK is the adder, as its the only one that can be fatal. Most snakes labelled as non-venomous, only means in relevance to humans, they would affect you no more than an insect or spider bite.

I only recently discovered your channel and I absolutely love your vlogs..! Not least because my late wife loved the countryside and the animals and birds inhabiting it. Like you she was inspired to keep a diary/journal by reading Edith Holden. I'm sure I saw somewhere you mentioned your journal may be published? I hope so as I would love to get my hands on a copy. Is it likely to happen any time soon?
@themindfulnarrowboat
@themindfulnarrowboat Год назад
Welcome to the channel, Ed! 👋 It is lovely to know that your wife kept a nature journal too; I'm sure her artwork is a real treasure of yours. You asked about my journal- well I have scanned in 2022's diary and sent the jpeg files to the same printer who makes my cards and calendar. It is going to take a while though as he has to resize them all and arrange them onto pages to be made into books. I want to keep the cost low, so I haven't published- I'm just getting copies made. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Have a super weekend- take care🦋🌻

Venessa, I am the person that advised you to turn your talents into a commercial property by selling your pictures and writings. Right now you MUST copyright all of your drawings, writings, and all by-products. If you don't someone will slip under the blankets and because you haven't registered anything steal them from you. If you have already registered the products then I'm sorry to interfere. One second further please, Get a mug and plate manufacturer to use your drawings for mugs and plates as a series and the porcelain manufacturer will almost certainly help you further to protect his purchase and do a series of mugs and side plates and all you have to do is promote them along with Christmas calendars, just 12 for a year. You have a given talent, use it to your advantage and swelling your bank account. Ray Richards

Venessa, it isn't your journeying that is the value but your perception and communication that are such jewels in your crown. Ray Wedwood started small, who knows where "Venessa" could be In 2223 with proper promotion. I am telling you, you have a wonderful individual gift.

So the woman eloped while married committing bigamy? Wasn't that a terrible crime in those days? I had to reply that a couple of times. Eloping leaving your husband behind. That would cause some gossip. Love your watercolors. So beautifully done. Jane, Philadelphia

It was a terrible crime in those days and that is why, I think she hid away and could only return when her husband had passed away. Some say that she haunts the house now! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend, take care🦋🌻

He is really happy that I am making the videos though as it is a record of our journey. Thank you for watching. Have a great weekend, take care🦋🌻
