Thanks Alan for taking us along on this lovely cruise and it looked like you were warm and toasty in your very colourful coat. I like the 'tiger-bloomer' bread to make cheese, ham and tomato sandwiches but I mostly use slices of mature cheddar. Take care and all the best. Stevie

Hi Stevie, I’m very pleased with my coat, it is very cosy. Sally and I are eating quite a lot of tiger-bloomer bread recently, I like cheese with pâté. Strong cheese burns my palate. All the best, Happy Easter.

Hi Alan, I approve of the coat. You winded very well, despite that boat being inconsiderably moored there. I have really missed your boat cruises. xx

Hello again Alan, I'd like to say your jacket is quite fetching, and hangs well on you. You could be mistaken for joseph and his technicolour coat Ha ha… The turn around was excellent and good to see that no trees were harmed in doing so 😉A wonderful cruise that was most enjoyable. Great to see and hear the natural sounds and sights of Spring again. Happy days. 🖖

I’m very pleased with the coat, it’s very comfortable and ideal to wear on a cold damp day. I had a lovely cruise even though it was a dull miserable day. Spring is definitely getting closer 🌼

Hello from Kansas! Now all you need is a nice Calabash pipe! That jacket does look nice in the dreary weather and should really pop on a sunny day! Now if they'd just trim that tree at the winding hole! Thanks! Richard

Greetings Richard. That’d make me more like Sherlock Holmes! The coat definitely brightened up the day, as it was really dreary. The tree is a nuisance but it wouldn’t be a priority. All the best, thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi Alan, I really enjoy this type of video. A peaceful cruise, beautiful scenery and a chat. The new coat, waistcoat and blue neck tie are a good addition. We could all do with some extra colour in our lives. Graham and Tim 🙂 🐕

That was a nice relaxing cruise Alan, you brightened up a very grey day with your coat. It seemed to go down well with the other boaters👍 The boat by the bridge made your turn more difficult than needed. I get they need to moor near a road for their cars but is it really necessary to be next to the bridge or winding holes.

@MyNarrowboatVenture

3 ай бұрын

Hi Paul. It was a very grey day, totally lacking colour apart from a few boats and my coat, which as you say was well received . Boats are not allowed to moor opposite winding holes but there is no sign here to that effect, needless to say it is a topic I have raised with CRT a long while ago.

Who had a coat of many colors? I love your coat. If you are not adverse to chemicals, you might want to weather proof it, if it is not already.

It was purchased at the Crick Boat Show, it's from Nepal. If you're just going to browse I would suggest Saturday or Sunday, as on Monday, the last day, things may be winding down. A Saturday or Sunday ticket will include the live evening entertainment. Cheers

Hi Alan just watched Gary's latest vid. Saturday am. Was wondering do you keep in touch with the three musketeers you used to do your Christmas videos with. Think Amy Jo is moored by me in Chester, is it Steve? Can't remember the name of the fourth. Regards from Chester.
