We hope you're all feeling more festive than frosty.

Thank you so much for your videos. In a world filled with such grim news you should be proud of the simple joy that you bring with your lovely story. Thank you!

Joanna has such beautiful kind eyes. Windows of the soul. You are 2 lovely people who have made a lovely little boy and are living an alternative lifestyle to the rat race. Good on you

@paultrussy4243 7 месяцев назад

It was fun breaking the ice for you - the bit you didn't show is when I broke one of Alton's bargepoles! (good job we've got plenty of spares) ...that ice was tough!!

@elizabethdunn2992 7 месяцев назад

William the star of the show these days he’s adorable!! Lovely video as always guys. 😍

@jillychandler 7 месяцев назад

You are amazing in how you cope with the freezing cold in your cafe boat, so others can enjoy coffee/tea and cake. William looks so like Sarah now. He is a beautiful little boy. He loved the lights on your Christmas tree - so special to see his reaction, as he will remember this year I feel, due to his age now. You are such a lovely family. I wish your peace, health, happiness and much money to come your way, to keep you all health and happy. Love and Blessings from Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound, in West Devon, England. xxx

Hello Guys! We were watching this morning and when we saw you opening up the boxes of tea towels and mugs ~ we lifted our mugs and saluted you and Holly! We love our mugs so much. They hold just the right amount of coffee, plus they're absolutely beautiful. Merry Christmas to you three, and may the new year see you right ~ Hugs, Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾🤗💝 PS: Loved the flashbacks to the first Holly Cafe winter. You guys haven't changed a bit, still as young as ever.

Cake, hot coffee, and snow falling can't ask for more. William's happy dance in front of the tree was precious! Thank you so much for sharing. 🤗❄❄❄🎄

@daveallen63 7 месяцев назад

Happy Holidays to all, have a wonderful Christmas! I remember the first opening because you made a coffee walnut cake and I swear that was just a few months ago. Can't believe how much faster time goes by as you get older, so you young folks keep that in mind. "Get busy building your dream, or spend the rest of your life building someone else's"

I feel so close to your daily life, because of the excellent camera work. I have not had a christmas tree for many years, so thank you for setting one up in your home so I can enjoy it too! ❤ Merry Christmas to you.

All power to you guys. Viewing from my home in Spain where it’s around 16 degrees at just gone 5 p.m. as much as I’d love to partake of some of your cafe and cake I’m not sure I could survive the cold. Well done and thanks for the super vlogs.

@charlesjefferis8812 7 месяцев назад

I love receiving your vlogs and feeling a part of your lives. Your adventures with William remind me of our lives when our kids were his age. Great memories! Your photo & video work is fantastic as is your storytelling. In short, thanks for everything on this vlog.. Hope everyone listening in has a fabulous holiday season. My Christmas in Connecticut just perked up as I believe my Holly Tea Towel will arrive soon. WOOHOO!

Wrap your coffee machine in some bubble wrap and a small thermal sheet or blanket. It will keep it from freezing. Good luck

Love the new pin badge :) I collected all the Narrowboat Experience ones and look forward (hint, hint) to adding Holly the Cafe Boat ones :)

@user-lg5tj7lh1b 7 месяцев назад

Hi ever think to bring tables, customers onto Holly. It might make for a cool experience. Just making a division in the boat and maybe a crouch cover to extend the area.

@shirleygreaves9650 7 месяцев назад

Love this, it looked very cold. ❤️

Buying shoes whilst you sleep magic. I wish I could do that.

@ginnypeckham4022 7 месяцев назад

It was lovely to meet you both today after watching you from your very first film. Superb coffee and pecan pie and you seemed just as delightful in real life as you do on RU-vid! Hope William's soon feeling much better and keep doing exactly what you're doing as you do it all rather well. Richard and Ginny (from the Isle of Wight).

@RoslynHillLatchHookCrochet 7 месяцев назад

Aw thanks for the memories…. I remember braking ice, moored up outside The Holiday Inn Ellesmere Port in The Boat museum winter mooring years ago… I was a single lady boater then, breaking ice to go get water!! I discovered the mooring belonged to the council who didn’t come around for mooring fees, I had saved the money, so joined the pool Spa at the Holiday Inn. Swam everyday!

@sandraann4868 7 месяцев назад

William is most definitely the star of the show! If you are ever in Wilmslow again and want a really hearty but great value breakfast then Booths Supermarket cafe is your place 🙂. We had to make several trips to the area over the spring and summer for specialist physio services and we really enjoyed the all day big breakfast 🩷

@shauncraigparkinson8165 7 месяцев назад

Such good vibes.

@georginar763 7 месяцев назад

That was a really enjoyable vlog guys, one of these days I hope to come and eat some of your cake. It looks amazing x

@patrickmclead5534 7 месяцев назад

Love this episode! I’d not even thought about you having winter weather before I watched. I live in Rockport, Texas and we rarely have icy conditions. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

@59kiwilass 7 месяцев назад

So enjoy your videos so much. William is such a cutie & his smile is a winner. I loved his reaction to the Xmas tree. I enjoyed seeing the snow which we only get in certain places in New Zealand. We always have a summer Xmas. I hope your next two weekends are great. Have a good week.

@peterjensen1455 7 месяцев назад

Great VLOG. You made me hungry!

@michw3755 7 месяцев назад

Oooh when can I get my hands on a Holly tea towel??William's still a little cutie bet he has his toddler moments though, see you next time 🥰👍

@keithanderson7419 7 месяцев назад

Brill vlpg you guys. We met in the summer passing on bikes between Whaley and Furness Vale, I was off shopping at Tesco. Can I say that Wilmslow is THE most affluent place in the country, highest council tax rates. Always lived in Cheshire till boat days but could never, ever buy a house in Wilmslow 🤣 It was nice seeing all three of you, look forward to seeing you when you hit New Mills again. Stay safe.

@TheByard 7 месяцев назад

I'm glad I was watching this eating an egg and bacon breakfast, while you were dishing out and trying those cakes. WOW they looked wonderful. It's 32 degrees here in Vietnam, my wife and friends have gone into Ho Chi Minh to take millions of photos of the stores Christmas decorations. Left me at home to test Christmas beer, I'd hate to give out a bad one!!!!!! I remember winterizing my old wooden boat, then while cruising the Dutch waterways I found a lift out and warehouse storage place. Spring fit outs then only took 2 days instead of weeks to get the varnish shiny again.

@cms9902 7 месяцев назад

I remember the first coffee served, watched it when it was first uploaded. Must look how far back that was, and when I first followed you at the very beginning. Doubtless it will be some years back.

Maybe plexiglass (perspex?) Inserts for Holly's big window for extra insulation during winter. Cut to size with a little rubber around the edges, would allow them to just be pressed in.
