My husband and I have enjoyed your videos so much that we have started from the beginning again. We are working our way through, and enjoy them so much!!! You made surviving the pandemic quite enjoyable. One day we would love to come to the UK and rent a narrowboat. Tim worked for 22 years with the Coast Guard so he is a good boat engine mechanic and can pilot as well. I love your calligraphy and yoga and find watching very peaceful! Thanks so much!!!

Great views from topof Castle, and well done two mountain walks.

Thank You for the ride along on your boat !! ...and the walk around in the Castle : ) ...always good fun !! ...enjoy

I may not comment after each vlog but please know I’m always here watching and enjoying and I always press the like button. Love watching you two. 💕

Hi Marina Myles,nice to see you both again I look forward to your blogs ,you want a bigger oven to cook one of them birds lol ,pigs are the only animal that don’t sweet that’s why you see them laying in mud to keep them cool ,l love this time of year spring time everything starts to grow and colour up ,I guess it will be a long time before the trees are removed from the canals you picked a beautiful place to visit the Brecon Beacons but you could have picked a better day the wind is very strong as well ,how ever thick are the walls in that castle what a beautiful place,great blog very interesting lots of history as well ,till next time take care keep safe, John 🌹👀🙏✋🥀⭐️⭐️🌟💨🌬

Firstly, NEVER EVER FEED WILD SWANS, unless they're as adorable as the one who stuck it's head through your galley window. That, of course, is acceptable. Secondly, Christmas trees. Save all your coffee grinds from your kitchen. Empty any coffee pods too. Save them all and place them into the bed of your Christmas tree and water after planting. It's guaranteed to thrive. The coffee grinds are also excellent if you're growing your own herbs or vegetables. Another fantastic vlog! 👍

Castle!! 🏰🏰 love it 🖖😁

Hi guys, always watch your channel. Can l pass on a tip to you, your pallet on the roof, if you screw a rubber door stop to the underneath on each corner that will give minimum contact with the roof a water will not get trapped between pallet and roof. Be safe and take care 🙂

Another great adventure!!! Thanks for taking this armchair traveler along.

I took the ferry across the Mersey once, but I didn't get off, so that was as close as I've come to Wales. Thanks for taking me today, dear ones.

Great vlog :)

Haha. Loved it! The ungrateful swan is something we’ve also experienced…they’re not choosy as to whether they eat the food you’re holding or the hand that’s holding it! Beautifully filmed. Stay safe xox

Beautiful views from the mountain top ❤️

Absolutely stunning and very beautiful views. This kind of adventures I really like. Excellent video and great ambiance.

According to the Swan Sanctuary you can feed swans fresh bread (mould is poisonous to them) grain such as wheat or corn, fresh greens such as lettuce or spinach & always throw it into the water so that they swallow water with it. I don't know what you were feeding it through the window but it would take it from your fingers if you just hold it still. They don't have teeth & the worst you'd get is a pinch if you make it hard for the swan to take hold of the food & they misjudge the distance.

Very enjoyable video. Looks like a great day out. Also loved your swan friend, though he would have scared me.

We were half scared half excited to have a swan friend popping by from the towpath side from time to time ☺️

is this castle near NewPort?.

Hope your friends with the Widebeam are ok...it's looking a bit sorry for itself in Henley and hasn't moved for almost a year by the looks of things.

Hi Glen, Yello and Zoe are doing great thanks for asking. They are loving Henley (been there for about 6 months) and one of the boats is on the private mooring, so they've had a very enjoyable winter.

Hi Marina, Myles. I love your Vlog this week. The Swan was amazing when you were feeding him/her, but it got so annoyed when you didn't. Nice bit of cruising. Love your mountain walks. I think it was the second one when you were high up. Those paths looked very dodgy. Loved you both when in the Castle. Going up those winding stairs looked a nightmare. There did not appear to be any handrails, I would have fallen down without any hand rails. (I have a thing about Handrails). Nice Castle those. Thank you for an excellent video. Have a good week. Take care.
