What a great act of kindness to help the little girl and her dad. They must have been so thankful. Beautiful countryside scenes to end on too. 🤗

@Motormad196 Год назад

What a beautiful video, full,of bitter-sweet observations and views. As Autumn, the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness arrives, your gentle journey makes the cosy dark nights very appealing.

@lovelyskull3483 Год назад

You having the voice of a poet. Much appreciated.

Once the candles are burning and it is cold enough to light the fire, it is the most relaxing place.

SO LOVELY.......I think I've got some catching up to do. Those lovely art drawers 😍

Hi Gaynor welcome aboard. Don’t get too distracted from your art making watching us. 😂

Nice to see you guys cruising again and showing us your beautiful country and waterways 👍😊 stay safe and healthy and keep on cruising 👍😊❤️

@evelynsutton4411 Год назад

Lovely to see you two, always a cheery presence!

@ronaldcumpsty5605 Год назад

Another really fantastic video even though you did mention the not so good time in town. That was really kind of you two to help the father and the little girl. Especially letting her use your shower facilities and that is one of the things that make you two so special and a pleasure to watch. You are a wonderful couple.

Thank you

@jillchew-tetlaw3388 Год назад

Is it my imagination but the dogs look happy to be cruising again with plenty of different walks.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

They definitely seem happier and more excited about life now. It must be great for them to have new places to explore all the time.

How ironic that the village of church has closed its church. Thanks for sharing your cruise and well done in helping the father and daughter in their moment of need. All the best.

I think that 'Kirk' may have the same meaning in most of Scandinavia also, we done Nordic coach tour years ago and from memory that word was used for a church.

Isn't the ironwork at the half-way marker lovely? Someone with a care for detail wanted that 5/8 measure to be precise! In spite of the railway, and highway, and chemical works, and all, a breathtakingly beautiful spot to moor. The cabinet for your art supplies is perfect! Goes so well with the cleaned up wood stove. So happy to see your videos again.

@theotherstevesteve Год назад

The stove cleaned up well . I've just done mine. Of course the glass always starts the season lovely and clean but cleaning it during the winter is rather trickier. This time however I have a new tool in the form of a loofah. It won't melt or scratch the glass and you can use it on hot glass when the soot seems easier to shift. Best of all it's 100% organic!

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Thats a good tip

To clean your glass on your fire wood ash and water on a cloth works, don’t need special cleaning stuff, same as soot on your paint work too.

Hi! re the the silver items on the power lines near water, these are generally put there to stop birds flying into the wires, also on some of the high power transmission lines you will see bright coloured balls, these are for hang gliders. regards Mike👍👍

the area with power cables,with reflective markers on them, i believe are to worn swifts that have selective spots to swoop down to pick up water on the canal whilst still in flight.just amazing to watch.we have a few arears on the mon&brec canal,where the swifts do exactly that, kind regards jenny&dave.

@jillipepper5353 Год назад

Funny to see all the geese in a line. Once we were canoeing on a rural river and could hear the strangest loud noises, there was a railway bridge high above us and were approaching a blind curve. We hugged the bank and slowly peeked to see what the racket was. To our amazement it was a large group of geese in V formation all slapping their wings but not lifting off the water. It was like they were standing upright, if they had that sort of body , and flapping their wings for all they were worth. I guess they were practicing for the long flights south, building their strength and the formation . Strangest thing but I did thank whoever is in charge for the opportunity to see something so rare, they were far away from people so we’d never have seen them if we’d not been in the canoe. 🙋🏼‍♀️

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

That sounds amazing. O love watching them fly in formation and then see one take over the lead from another

Hi Fran & Rich: The last days of summer for you and the sunshine peeped out just in time for you to wear all of your summer dresses. Rich's new art supplies cabinet was a real find! Now you can get cracking on creating some paintings. Happy Autumn Equinox (which just happened Friday just before midnight). In Seattle, WA we are getting some much-needed rain, as we're in a severe to extreme drought in Washington state. I hope you all aren't experiencing drought in the UK. Jenny

Made a good job of the woodburner. The rope seal goes flat after a while loosing its sponginess so hopefully the new one will make a better seal. You might do it already but using 0000 grade steel wool cleans the glass well and does not scratch. Wetted newspaper with ash on it also helps to clean soot off the glass.

We also found a narrowboat to watch going through a lock at Stratford upon Avon. Great fun! Keep boating!!!! Lol

That poor little girl, that was so good you guys were there, they couldn't have lucked out on a nicer couple to help them out! Now she'll have a story to tell about her adventure and have a really happy ending! The bridge @7:19 approx. could use some tlc, although, I don't know why, I was thinking it would make for a nice picture. I'm not sure of the type of scenes Rich likes to paint, but a series of all the bridges might be nice. Anyways, you guys have a wonderful week!

@Peterraymond67 Год назад

Hi Fran, Rich and the dogs. I used to be an apprentice with BT too many years ago. We used to call the corks on the wires Game Guards. Before the thoughts of preservation, they were there to protect the Lord of the manor’s flying shooting asset. It never stopped the white ceramic insulators from being shot at though. I had to go along after, renew the binders between the open copper wires and the new insulator, usually this happened in the rain! Another great video.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

Wow, that sounds like a dangerous occupation!! Lord of the manor should have done it himself!!

@ralphwood5875 Год назад

Lovely fall day here in Canada and now a vlog from you guys ,My day is complete with this wonderful vlog ,those coke ovens were interesting I remember we burned coke in the late forties to heat the house inPlymouth when coal was in short supply at times but coke was available from the local gasworks.I've been sifting through Fran's recipes and podcasts as well as the artwork in the gallery all very tempting and so well presented. As for the chimney sweeping at our cottage which is entirely heated with a wood stove we cut a small spruce and pull that from the top to the bottom a few times it does an excellent job. Now that Rich has his painting gear all in order I'm hoping to see some more paintings in the Gallery..Kudos to you for rescuing Meghan and her bike ........RNLI on the cut...They are my favourite UK charity being an ex Mariner.,I keep a Lifeboat swear box on my bar and send the donations to my sister in Somerset and she hands them on to RNLI, they sent me a pair of bright yellow socks that look just like the bright yellow RNLI wellies. So Fran and Rich happy safe cruising see you soon. Cheers from me in .Canada.

@FloatingOurBoat Год назад

RNLI was my mums favourite charity too although we had no sea connections. We always donate. That sort of rescue service should never have to rely on charitable donations. Well done you
