Thanks for another great vlog Will. This winter it just doesn't stop raining and the darkness all day is oppressive. I'm like you I need to get out every day even in the rain providing its not too heavy. People think I'm crazy but I can't sit indoors for days on end.
I know what you mean. I need to feel the air in my lungs. I find sitting around difficult. Physically as well because my hip hurts sitting down too long. Thanks for watching.
When you were going through that extreme narrow bit, i was imagining Leon waking up and looking out that window... i would think it would be a bit unnerving!!! Great vlog as always, Will!!! Filthy thumbs up from Tennessee 😊
Everywhere round here is flooded, had to move my car last night as the car park was starting to flood, only thing I worry about is going over the mooring and then the water going down to quickly and the boat turning over, had it happen once and was really hard to get the boat fully afloat again. Only noticed it was happening as I woke up with a headache, with my head rammed against the bedhead. Managed to dig a hole with the engine and reverse out, had I not woken up hate to think. Loved your feet, very sweet!
Evening Bill!!! Thank-you for another entertaining vlog. Did you both manage to make it to the school play? Oh you got caught by the elf on the shelf 😂 The colour is very you!! #MisterPinkToes 😂
seeing you go through that narrow bit ,.it reminds abit like going through chester , the walls there were verrry high & narrow , roads these days seem to be taking forever to do , i too hate waking upto these dark days , it makes you want to stay in bed . ps , love the pink nails lol .pps , that problem your sister had with the squeak on her car , reminds of that advert with that guys wife & her squeaky earrings 😅
Hi will I see that you are safe and well. What else can I say about your videos other than brilliant. I would like to thank you for the time it takes you to put out your exlent videos on your life on the canals of this country. . My friend Ben and I have just returned from the Oxford canal ... where thankfully he managed to do a deal on his narrow boat... Which has left him with enough money to not worry about the future. Anymore. However like myself he has found it hard to adjust to living in a flat.. but at least he has plenty of people around him now to talk to . I have noticed that the depression he was experiencing has gone.. which is a blessing .when you have life long friend's that you have left behind Do not answer the phone to you then you know that something is definitely wrong with them .. thankfully I managed to get information about him from another boater. About where he was located.on the Oxford canal. Ben is the type of person who would give you the shirt off his back to help someone...in trouble. Anyway will it's a filthy thumbs up from the both of us.👍👍👍👍👍 Keep your self safe . And well . and above all dry and warm .. Happy new year to you and your family.
That's a very inspiring comment. It does change a person when they surround themselves with nature. It's changed me and Leon's outlook on life. Happy new year. 🫵👍👍
That's a very interesting story. Thanks for sharing it. I feel so much happier travelling about over being in a flat in the same place. Take care and happy 2024. 😊
Amazing how they cut the canals out all those years ago and in amazing time it would take so long today even with modern machines no health and safety then saves so much time !
I can't believe how much work these canals took and how little info on how they did it. Just shovels and horse and cart. Seems impossible in todays standards..
@@NarrowboatWill 100% it's going to take years to clear up the canals after all the storms it would have been sorted out in weeks in them day now it will take loads of meetings costing millions then months getting qoutes then will over run and cost 10 x the orginal amount and its progress ??????
Just think Will, it could have been worse. They could have braided your hair into little pigtails all over your head. Consider yourself lucky. lol I'm glad I have 4 grandsons. Hey, take care. Travel safe and keep warm.
Hi Will, loving your work as always, if you go out shopping for gods sake don't wear flip flops or you come back with the wrong type of fella.😅 be safe.
Starting to get the slightest feeling; correct me if I'm wrong, that you've had enough of the rain. Just a feeling. Up until recently, we have just had unbelievable heat, mosquitoes and no rain at all... for weeks and weeks and weeks. I'd KILL to be at home for a couple of weeks of rain and cold. Better get yourself some of those yellow tinted glasses mate, shove some windscreen wipers on 'em. Lovely vlog as usual; thanks and summer is coming; hang in there.
I hear you. Very hot is just as bad as very cold. At least when it's cold I can put another top in. When it's hot you can't do anything without sweating and dehydration. Hang in there, it will get cooler and we shall have some of your heat. 🤣🤣🤣
Hoping the new year brings prosperity and hopefully less rain if that’s possible. Fair weather and calm waters for both of you, and good internet signal 😂.
Wow that put the 'Narrow' in narrow boating. Your drive plate is sounding more suspect. Might be time to quickly pull the gearbox back and inspect? Rather than wait for it to fail? Inspect the input splines on the gearbox too👍 simple job for someone that knows his way around motorbikes. Nice to see you all got some family time.......good for the soul.
For winter cruising, a motorbike heated jacket makes life much more pleasant, 12V supply, needs a couple of amps but you only need it when the engine is on. Gerbing jackets have a temperature controller, ideal.
@@NarrowboatWill at least you get 700 a month I don't get a penny have a full time 24 hour job looking after elderly mother can't claim anything as I sold business if I was an illegal they would be throwing money at me
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much. I'll take the dollar. I'm amazed how many people enjoy my vlogs, but they want to change me to suit their needs. I don't understand that. Lovely comment. 😍
Pink is your colour 💗 You have womens feet not very manly 😅😅😅😅😅😅 Rain is good for the ducks apparently, im sure people say yhat knowing they can never drown. The rains are only hoing to get worse flooding of the rivers to come i huess uoull touch on that subject next vidro as it goes into january lol. Bridge 69 did you ever get to it? Have fun stay dry Kev the brinklow kayaker
