Dear Vanessa, words fail me. Absolutely gorgeous from start to finish. Your four legged companion is by your side, keeping you safe. Such beauty everywhere. That magnolia. The blackthorn in blossom. The sphagnum moss with its multitude of colours. Then the highlight of the ,kettle whistling, which we know heralds today's poem and drawing.

Love your positivity and I agree, everything is gorgeous. And of course, I signed the Danes Moss petition too.

I sometimes wonder how many people who watch your vlogs are jealous of your choices of life style. I know I am one of them. You make me so conscious of the environment and of what I can do to help like solar panels or wind turbines this is silly but I have noticed you do not use the tea bags now and are making tea in the proper English way. Have a great week see you next Friday Steve

This lifestyle suits you so well. It's a combination of traveler, explorer and adventurer but without the hectic pace and stress you'd otherwise have to endure if you attempted something like this on land. And as you noted when in front of that bridge and a car went over it, you can't see the real beauty of something like that in a car going over it. I'm glad you enjoy doing what you do, as it brings a lot of smiles as you graciously take us along with you!

Another beautiful and very thoughtful video. Thank you for sharing this life with us. We live in the Dandenong Ranges on the edge of Melbourne. In spite of Melbourne's rapid, relentless and often destructive expansion, we are still blessed with an abundance of wildlife: wallabies, echidnas, wombats, possums (of course!) and all manner of bird life. When you slow your life down, take the time to watch and listen, nature will come to you. All it requires is patience and silence, as you have so perfectly demonstrated. Thank you once again and keep up the good work!

They want to build on Dane Moss!!? Well, that's put a massive bummer on my day! Surely not, as it's a SSI ,as you said. I feel so angry but powerless at how we're ruled by money-mad idiots who put the chance to make some profit over everything else. That would be a tragedy. incidentally, where you went doesn't give proper access to the Moss, that's further along the canal where there is a bridge over the railway line that leads on to a wooden walkway and the track of the old tram lines left from when used to harvest (?) the peat.

I hope they save it as they have pushed back the development for a while now and momentum to save it is building up more and more. I went in both ways to the Moss but I found the sphagnum easier to film in the first section. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🦋🌻

That is so amazing that there is such a large network of canals and support structures and moving bridges for you guys to use and control on your own, it’s just mind blowing. And it seems that it’s not being abused by people which is amazing.

Cruising is like walking on water! That is, it's about the same speed :) Yes I heard the Chiff Chaff! The Horsetail is an ancient plant that has existed for millions of years. The University of Bristol Botanical Garden contains a collection of plants called the Evolution collection that traces the origins of plants and features plants that date back as far as 200 million years. It's like entering ancient times. Loved the evening walk and the beautiful sandstone (?) bridge and the two ducks on their stroll. Thankyou for the lovely images from the peat bog and learning more about them. They are magical places aren't they. Your poem My Voice really touched me and yes we should all speak up to protect the tiny pieces of habitat that remain to wild creatures and plants (there is only 9% of the land on the earth that is left for non human animals). Take care Vanessa and happy cruising in the week ahead! xxxx
