Thanks Alan, for taking us along on this lovely sunny Spring cruise and with the return of the cheese topped roll. It's nice to see that the tree that was hanging across the canal has been pruned and that the main trunk is doing well. Take care and all the best. Stevie

Hi Ginger thank you for your summer travel wishes, I hope you have a lovely weekend.

I wondered when we'd see the return of your now famous co-stars the Cheese-Topped Rolls. 🤗

It looks like a very pleasant relaxing day. Your Cheese top roll is making me hungry, but I'll wait for my dinner time. Enjoy your cruise and relaxation.🌞

Hi Philip, Sally is fine, she is with me ready for my birthday celebrations tomorrow, and It's going to be rather hot where we are. All the best.

Alan, after cruising, my boat feels undressed without the canopy up. Best room on the boat if you ask me. Versatile and very protective.

Isn't life wonderful now Spring has finally arrived, the birds singing in the trees, and the sound of the river going by with the hustle of traffic taking over as it passes on by. Oh how lucky we are to have so much more then others in this world. Peace, serenity, and great things, come our way each day of our life's. PS... Like the changing of the little things in life, it all has to be good for the better. Just don't change you... You are fine just the way you are. 🖖

It certainly is. The weather has much improved this week and it's been very warm today and should be over the weekend for my birthday celebrations tomorrow, which I'm looking forward to, as we have a family get together. Have a lovely weekend.

Greetings to you and thanks for supporting the channel. I agree with you and we are trying to work out some dates for a long cruise, but we each have commitments to work around, which does make it difficult but I'm very hopeful we will get something sorted. Cheers

Hi Alan, an idea for an episode ~ about the camera you use to film, the wireless mast you put up when you stop and what video editing software you use. Many thanks, KR AndyT(Somerset)

@MyNarrowboatVenture

Hi Andy, thanks for the suggestion, I have covered these aspects in other videos and it is something I have thought about doing again. So you never know😃

Evening Alan, that was a lovely cruise. You certainly are blessed with some lovely countryside near your marina. Was it my poor observation on previous vlogs, or did you have some new camera positions / angles this time? Really enjoyed watching...Happy birthday for the coming weekend...🍷🍷

Evening Steve. I am experimenting with camera positions to give a different aspect for the viewer. Thank you for your good wishes, I have a family get together tomorrow, which Sally and I are really looking forward to 🥂

sugguestion Alan: when using mooring chains? especially the middle one, why not use an old inner tube over the chain to stop scratching your paint work so much?

@MyNarrowboatVenture

2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the suggestion Martin, when mooring on Armco it’s not actually the chain that rubs on the paintwork. But I do have sleeve protectors on the mooring lines where they rub on the handrail. Cheers

Wonder if the cheese topped rolls can be frozen?

@MyNarrowboatVenture

I expect so but I couldn’t freeze them, as I don’t have the space in my tiny ice box!
