Hello, Coffee and Cake... I choked on my drink when Paul claimed the two of you don't actually like coffee and cake XD I feel like a huge part of society has forgotten how to be polite since the pandemic started. Thank goodness there are still a lot more people out there who are still good-hearted and friendly! I'm currently nursing a headcold so the beautiful scenery on the vlog has cheered me up a lot. Hope you all have a good week and stay safe xx

😂. I feel that too. Such a shock on the canal though. Just never experience this behaviour. Thankfully, like you said, it is a minority. Oh no, we have had colds too, hope it doesn’t linger for you and you have a speedy recovery. Take care and look after yourself ❤

I love watching your videos, the Llangollen is beautiful , I don’t agree at all with what the guy behind you did but it does seem that you pulled in front of him and he was a bit of a Yx!; about it and there is no excuse for it, you’re correct and I always say the same. If you’re in a rush, you shouldn’t be on the canal.
@anthonysmith-storey9247
@anthonysmith-storey9247 Год назад
Aww thank you. The Llangollen was beautiful. We were paused in the centre of the canal chatting to someone who watches the channel. When we realised there was a boat coming up we carried on. He was really aggressive but didn’t want it to spoil the day so when we could, we pulled over. There were moored boats along that stretch so we were going in tick over. Definitely no place to be speeding but we didn’t let it spoil the day and he may have had stuff going on so like I said to Paul, we cut him some slack. Hope you have a lovely evening and take care ❤

Re the canal rage incident. I think there’s a lot of stress in Society right now. I notice it, particularly when driving in the car. There’s nearly always, someone glued to my rear bumper. I think you definitely did the right thing, letting the guy past. You just can’t be sure where that level of confrontation will lead, it’s simply not worth getting involved. Take care, and hope you both have a Happy Christmas!

Out of interest, how long did it actually take to cruise from Whitchurch to Ellesmere? John and I are lucky to have been asked to "crew" for friends of ours next year and am now trying to plan the cruise. Whooopeee we are both so excited. Llangollen was supposed to be our next cruise and it all fell through. Have all the maps and Nicholsons so now the planning starts So looking forward to the scenery. Won't be as spectacular as your cruise as it is early September but know it's going to be brilliant anyway.

Hey Liz. We did it over 2 days as we didn’t want a long cruising day, but probably doable in one day. Aww fabulous. You will love the Llangollen. It will be stunning what ever time of year and I am sure you will have a ball. Enjoy your week ❤

Boy last night was a cold one 3% below zero so I hope you are keeping warm, although I remember you telling us viewers that Morning Star is easy to keep warm. Lovely Vlog this week and your choice of music were so nice. All the best lads. Love Stephen ❤

Hey Stephen. Seems more shocking when it isn’t the norm. I can imagine London to be quite impersonal. Love visiting but then I remember I don’t like crowds 😂. It got to -5° yesterday morning. Currently frozen in and we had snow today too. The boat, however, toasty. Hope you are having a good weekend and have fun things planned for the run up to Xmas. ❤

Hey guys, well Paul you mentioned how this weeks Vlog would be something special, Boy, you were spot on. 🍁🍁The Autumn tones of the leaves were spectacular, to say the least. I really was transported to another world, absolutely beautiful. The background music you chose suited perfectly. The little duck (I think it was) towards the beginning of the Vlog off in the distance behind you, was having a whale of a time in the canal. He knew the best canal to be on. Never mind about the guy who forgets to be happy from time to time, the rest of us love and admire all the Vlogs you make. Happy cruising, Laurel and Keith ❤️👩‍❤️‍👨🐶🐱🌞

Great vlog, thanks. The angry man displayed behaviours that I have been studying for several years. First if all, he acted without any empathy whatsoever. That is because he probably does not have any. He also will likely be unaware of his missing empathy. This lack of self awareness blows my mind. I also don't have any empathy but I am aware of this. The second characteristic to be aware of is his need to be in control. I don't have this need. OK, that said, he sees you blocking the canal and notices that you are filming. He will not entertain any explanation that differs with his assessment. You are at fault and need to get out of his way. Nothing you say or do will ever change his mind. Once you have moved to the side and he passes, his sense of control returns. The next time you meet he is friendly and chatty as you are not challenging his innate need to be in control. You have two choices when dealing with people like this, correctly identify them and then remove yourself from their presence as best you can. Or get upset. Around 1/6 people have zero empathy and this need for control. You two probably rarely trigger this type of person. Anyway, let them reveal themselves to you, with their behaviours and then reduce contact with them to zero. His most obvious tell was following you dangerously closely. Anyway, you were not at fault and we all inconvenience each other from time to time. You two carry on enjoying unlocking life. :-)

Thanks David. We decided quite early on that letting him pass was the best course of action. We love the canals and didn’t want this to be the lasting impression of the Llangollen. I did say to Paul that there may have been an underlying issue rather than us being the issue per se. Glad we used this course of action. Interesting, what you say does fit into his displayed behaviour. Thanks as always for watching and we will indeed keep unlocking life ❤

The light on the canal and the trees was really lovely. Then there was the jerk. (It took me a while to relax after that and I was just watching a video!) Those folks always seems to pop up in the midst of peace and beauty to try to spread their misery around. Reminded me of more dangerous moments driving on highways when people come up close behind you like that, and then zoom past giving you a dirty look or even shouting at you. I always think such people are already punished just be being who they are (because it is hard to imagine a worse punishment than being them and living in such a miserable mental world!). And the blog ended with a fisherman shaking his head at you!😂But the bright and beautiful world is always still there for us to enjoy.

Hey James. I’m he Llangollen didn’t disappoint, such a lovely canal. We were shook up by the incident. Couldn’t believe how aggressive he was. We let him passed as we didn’t want hours of that behaviour but decided we should cut him some slack. Like you said, it is punishment enough going through life like that. Fortunately it is very rare to come across this and the canal still remains a tranquil place to live. 😂, totally forgot about that fisherman. See the tailgating every day going to work. That and people swerving, only to find they are on their phones! The boat definitely provides a safe haven. Have a lovely week and take care ❤

Nothing particularly interesting happened but clearly he mistaken us for another boater earlier that day who must have sped past as he was ranting and raving about his boat being damaged. It got so bad I handed back control and was a little shaken up by the event! Not quite what you expect when travelling 2.5knots

Oh no. Sorry to hear that Lib. I just think it is the shock due to the contrast of most other boaters. We have made loads of friends on the cut and this really shook me. Hope it didn’t put you off boating. Take care ❤

I’ve never seen anything like that ! I think you dealt with the situation very calmly , although I can imagine it shook you up a bit. So nice of you to give him the benefit of the doubt. More cake cooking would be good. I don’t know what it is about watching people cook! Beautiful colours in the trees, remembering autumn now winter is here. Weird getting stuck like that as well.

We haven’t either Crichie which made it all the more shocking. It did shake us up a bit but easier to let him pass and carry on with a stress free day. Guess you never know what people are dealing with. Aww I should of filmed the Bara Brith. It is lovely with a bit of butter. Currently frozen in and have been since Wednesday 😬. There is flow on the Llangollen so when you go into the tunnel in the direction we were travelling in, it starts to drag you back, it was a weird experience. Hope you have a lovely week ❤

Hi Paul, Anthony & Dexter-Dog. Loving the cruise this week, such beautiful scenery. Loving the choice of Music, which fitted perfectly to the footage. There was one piece of music, where a piano in the right channel just started as Paul finished talking, and before the cut to the next scene, which worked. Well done to Paul for his creative editing. Loving the chat and banter, although this week you were much nicer to each other (Not much teasing) and you both knew which way you were going (now I'm teasing...sorry)😀 Really sorry that Paul cut his head Ouch!!!! Hope it healed well. Anthony you are a Super Chef and Baker, you know how to make anything, so impressed. That loaf you talk about, I had never even heard of it. That guy you encounted on the stalker boat, I too would have been shocked and upset with that experience. Anthony it's interesting that you wont go on a bus or a train. I have not been on a bus since pre-covid, and have only done one return train trip to London since Covid, too many people. It's amazing that the wind can blow a very heavy Narrowboat off it's course, nature is wonderful (perhaps not for the Narrowboat). Missed not seeing Dexter, so Hello to Dexter. Hope your Tea and cake was nice at the cafe. Another Excellent Vlog. You guys are the greatest. Have a good week. Take care.

Bara Brith is a Welsh tea loaf. It is fat less and I think it means “spotted bread”. Love it with butter on. Definitely don’t like public transport. Hate crowds to be honest. The guys in the boat was shocking. No idea what was up with him but so much easier to let him pass and carry on enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Nature really is amazing. Have a lovely weekend ❤

I did the Llangollen canal last year in July for a week and it’s was like bumper cars , people were very rude , in a rush , even bump into you on purpose which knocked our dog off the boat , I eventually lost my temper with one guy that repeatedly bumped into us because we were waiting to go through chirk tunnel , I still love canal boats and the Llangollen canal is stunning but it attracts so many holiday boaters that want the maximum out of their holiday and worse day boaters that want to get to the end and back in one day (which we took all week)

When you came to a stop at the end of the tunnel could it have been a build up of leaves round the prop ! when this happend to us the first time i had not got a clue what was going on ! down the weed hatch and found it all clear , few miles later same thing again and so on , it wasn't till a couple of weeks later when i was reading a canal mag that it was being mentioned that it was problem at this time of the year and a quick bit of reverse sorts it out, Apparently the water around the prop turns into a leave soup and the prop cant get a bite !! so every time you stop they just float off so no sign of them when you pop the weed hatch !! i felt such an idiot . any how guys take care.

How can you get upset at that guy if you have such a beautiful scenery. It seems nothing was going your way with almost getting stuck and the strong winds. Well I wish you and England the best in the World Cup. 😊

Hey Blake. That is why we pulled over. Didn’t want the day spoilt with such beautiful scenery. We had a great day after that, albeit the silted up tunnels lol. Have a lovely weekend ❤

James, we were shocked. First incident like this we have come across. It was easier just to let him go so we could enjoy the canal. As you said, the Llangollen is beautiful. Definitely didn’t disappoint. Hope the new job is going well and you are all set for Xmas. Love to you and the missus and pass our love on to Danny. ❤

What a beautiful cruise that must have been. I think that during the fall the colors seem a little more vibrant on cloudy days for some reason. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the one bad apple. You are both much better at letting the little things like that go than I am. It would bother me and I'm not sure I would have held my tongue either...lol. Thanks.

Hello You Three - greetings from Poland What a privilige it is, to be part of your Community. You bring so much pleasure into my life. I'm never disappointed with any of your vlogs - this one is no exception. What a beautiful waterway. This has to be one of the most picturesque canals on the whole of the system. Your fun, laughter and banter brings so much sunshine into my life - cheers me up no end. What a shame that ignorant man decided to act the way he did. There's enough misery in this world without him making it any worse, I feel sorry for him really. Thanks again for producing this wonderful video. See you again very soon. Stay safe please.

Hi all, lovely vlog again thank you 😊 I always feel a bit ruffled after a road rage incident and I imagine this is similar if not worse, all a little stressful and distracting for you both 😔 it’s absolutely freezing here today, absolutely beautiful though with the mist and gorgeous white hills. I hope you are warm, needless to say super warm winter jacket weather, I hope you have a great week 💕⭐️❄️

Definitely how we felt Lorna. Didn’t want it to spoil the day so we let him past. The Llangollen was stunning. Freezing here too: we are iced in and have been since Wednesday. Definitely stunning though. Toasty on the boat and the winter jackets are well and truly warm. Have a lovely weekend ❤

Morning guys. Lovely vlog, thank you. I got stuck just a few yards further out of the Ellesmere tunnel, it felt like a bank of silt in the middle of the channel. Strange. Hope you’re all ok in this freezing weather and enjoying this little bit of snow too. Take care xx
