8:05 "Heading into town to get a coffee" - you should check out that cafe next door which keeps following you around.

So cute to see Williams smile. You do extremely well managing two boats with a baby with a business 👍💐💐

You really produce some of the most pleasant videos on the internet. Amazing how you manage all that has to be done and still have time to film, edit, upload and then go off to visit the local attractions. Also a big thumbs up to William for being such a nice kid ;-)

I LOVE the subtle humor of the sad violins coming to play as Jo finds her chocolate inedible and Vic pumps expensive diesel.

Hi guys, well as I said to you this morning sat 3/9/22 Vic, been watching from day one so it was a pleasure to finally catch up with you both. You do superb blogs , you make us laugh with you and you both have a great attitude to what you want and where you want be in life.William has the cutest smile and I can no officially say YES ! the Lemon Drizzle is to die for. Oh yeah I’m the one selling the small Narrowboat for a liveaboard thanks to you both unbeknown to you convincing my wife to be in 27 days to live on a Narrowboat. Hope to see you again sometime. Cheers Dave & Deb

Your former media careers sure are serving your channel well‼️💯😎🤩 Production quality is so fun & all three of you are a real delight to follow‼️ Makes me crave a Lemon Drizzle‼️🌞💃🦢🪶🇬🇧 cheers from Kentucky USA 🇺🇸

I was absolutely delighted with this vlog. I live in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. My mother was born in Tamworth. So very neat to see part of it. She came to Canada at nine months old, with my grandparents. That was in 1927. I am into family history and have traced my grandfathers family back to the late 1700’s….still living in the area…..Polesworth, and all the small villages around Tamworth. Living history! So, you see you feed many interests! Have always enjoyed your vlogs, but this one was special for me. ☺️ Thank you!

Love how William looks at you, smiles and chuckles when you call the geese ducks and go "quack quack"! I imagine him thinking "oh mummy you're so funny, they're geese and they don't quack, they honk."

Made our year seeing you all yesterday, thank you so much for taking the time to chat and for allowing us to hold beautiful William. Safe travels and hopefully see you again soon. Phil & Wendy xxx

William is at that lovely age when he is starting to learn how to do things. Love it when kiddies get to this age, my grandson(nearly 14 months old) does all sorts of new things now, waving, clapping, shaking his head, high fives and nearly all at the right time. Have a lovely week.

You two are great parents. Little William always has a smile and that's no coincidence. He is experiencing an amazing life. Well done you!. Love Dave and Rach (Narrowboat Holly!!!)....(yep really!). X

You are just the most delightful family...spirits raised on discovery of your channel.

Please check your MPPT instructions. I think your battery capacity should be the total amp hours of your batteries combined not the capacity of one battery. I think you have five 120AH, therefore, if running 12 volts, your capacity is 600.

Ian , you are correct, I've fit Solar Systems to two Narrowboats over the years. And yes it's the full Battery Bank that the controller needs to recognise. 👍

This is correct. It's the total capacity of the battery bank, not a single battery.

And, if your MPPT is controlling the load it should turn off the fridge and other loads on a bad solar day once the batteries get to a low flat level, this then protects the batteries.

Moving from place to place to trade is a lot of work for you guys with 2 boats a canoe and a baby, quite the operation .You do it all with never a moan but with lots of smiles ,love William's fascination and smile particularly with all those balls on the railings .I guess he thinks they are just toys.. Great vlog happy cruising and profitable trading. Take care and happy cruising. Cheers from sunny Canada

Little William won't be little for much longer the way he's coming on. Fun times with Holly this weeks Vic.

I have to say, this one just got my heart. ❤️ William is a handsome little one. I just love when he smiles. He is such a happy baby. When the ducks left and her started crying, aww my heart. I just love watching you guys. Thank you for sharing your life with us ❤️💙❤️

Once again you done it. You've gone and made me smile, laugh a little and let me know everything's going to be ok with Holly The Cafe Boat on the scene. I love watching you Day in the life shows. Stay groovy and stay safe. PS I love that coffee cup with the bug on it.

Love your videos….so relaxing to watch. We are ‘once a year’ canal boaters….love that you can get away to quiet places in the countryside, amidst wildlife that cars cannot access….and life feels ‘uncluttered’. William is delightful !

So so good to watch your videos, brilliantly put together. What a lovely little family, thank you x

William is getting more animated as the weeks go by....such a cute smile loved the bit where he was touching all the balls on the railing. I really can't imagine maneuvering the two boats. Y'all do a great job. Thanks for the tour in the little village. Have a Blessed day.

What a fun and uplifting glimpse into a week on the move! I must take issue with one editing choice, however... relegating William waving "bye-bye" to the blooper reel seems to be a lost opportunity for a killer outro!😆🤣😁

Smashing video thanks for inviting us into your lovely life. William is growing up fast and has really taken to Canal Boat life style. Dave B. Thailand.

Excellent video. I like the technical side of narrow boating and William gives it a soft edge of cuteness overload. OMG He's growing so fast. Have an awesome week and I hope it will be a bit more relaxing.

William will be crewing for his Mum & Dad🤗 ☕🍰☕🍰👍 Another brilliant video👍🤗 Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

There after 5:50 where Jo says "Vic's got us on some kind of healthy eating mission" that inspired a thought, I can see it now, a children's book series, "Vic Mission, Narrowboat Adventurer". 😁

Your Tamworth might have a Norman castle - but our Tamworth (NSW australia). has a giant guitar !!!!!

William is just so cute, and watching him enjoy his surroundings is adorable. Re the fridge problem, not sure of the stock value written off when this happens but there are remote wireless fridge alarms on the market. It maybe could be possible to rig something up to a warning on your phone?

What a great start William is having in the world! All those fantastic experiences. It is really noticeable how fast he is developing. 😊

Love you guys especially little William who is just adorable. You work so hard and overcome any obstacles life throws at you. Take care and keep doing what you're doing so well. Xxx

Tamworth is an important part of English History..🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Saxon stronghold Tamworth was the principal centre of royal power of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Mercia during the 8th and 9th centuries. It hosts a simple but elevated 12th century castle, a well-preserved medieval church (the Church of St Editha) and a Moat House.

Lovely to see you today, shame the cake was all gone but the hot chocolate was yummy.

Vic can cycle, hold the camara and howl. 2022 ingenuity.

Your country looks like something out of a fairytale. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

I love following your life journey. Thanks for sharing. I feel I have an extended family as I look forward to seeing and listening what your family is doing. Stay safe and please keep sharing 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

The sunshine that comes from your 3 faces is a joy. Thank you for the vlog.

😊🤗nice vlog love that you are travelling in a mini flotilla or group. Nice to have company and it should attract more customers. Sharing of ideas and solutions to problems can be a big help. Little William is a cutie pie and a happy little chappy.

Tamworth is where Reliant cars were made. For me, who has owned several Scimitars, doesn't get any better!

Love watching your videos it’s so interesting watching you manage everything family life and cafe and canal and to think of you filming and then editing on top of all of that…..wow thanks for posting 👏🙂👍

Cheers.

I wish I lived in UK 🇬🇧 too visit your shop, and the rest of gang of boats. Stay safe hope your battery issue is all fixed.

Little William is getting more involved in boating life every time we see him such a cheeky chappie 😀👍

One day William will look at your KZread channel with so much pride seeing the days he can't remember. Well done guys love watching you all.

Another lovely vlog, William is soo cute! I hope to buy coffee and cake from you one day. Take care everyone. xxx

Good to see you are training William up early, get him on the lock gates as soon as you can😂😂

We agree. He can be one of the best boaters, growing up one a boat from birth.

Great to see you at Fradley Junction, don't know about you Vic, but even though I was sheltering under those trees whilst waiting on the Lock, I got absolutely drenched. Hope you've had some success at gaining at least a Slice of Lemon Drizzle Cake. All the Very Best to You All 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧 Hopefully see you again soon.

Just lovely! Here in the USA we don't have things like this. Much luck to you.

Can't wait to catch up with you guys to try your cakes and coffee!

Lovely video love to see how you manage with the baby I went through a similar life only mine was a snack bar on the beach with two small boys who are now 54 and 47 and we only retired last year at 82 and 74 so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did xx

Thank you for taking us to Tamworth - I knew it was an important town in the Kingdom of Mercia but not how lovely it is. Bill is growing up so fast - not too long until he will be toddling'☺

Followed from the start. You're such a lovely family. Every happiness!💗

We have a Tamworth in New south Wales in Australia,it's country music capital of Australia.Its got a giant Golden coloured guitar in town. They have awards every year called the golden guitar. And I live in western australia and have never been to Tamworth.

Love your videos they always make me smile. William is the absolute cutest. Like it when you give a tour of the towns and the country side. Thanks for sharing. 🙏😊 Kathy

William such a cutie, think his buddies are the ducks. You both work so hard and moving two boats must be tiring at times. 💚

My sister lives in Tamworth so we have visited that lovely park quite a few times. Always enjoy seeing the geese as well.

Wow - William is growing sooooo quickly!!! Beautiful......

Well just had to let uou know I have just binged watched all your videos over the last week! I love them and now my Hubby always asks me to turn up the volume when you are on. Your gentle humour is such a joy to watch so credit to the 2 of you. William is absolutely gorgeous and that smile! Thank you for sharing your journey with us xxx

I am only 11 miles away from Tamworth and I used to take my 4 children (all adults now) to the castle grounds, great day out xx

Such a lovely little boy.

ooh... i just found you. and you even managed to make a grumpy old lezzer in wales smile... thanks :D subbed to live vicariously through you :D

Such a lovely video. Thank you x

hats off too you three! great vlog this week and I'm so delighted at seeing william so much! he is growing so big! Please keep making the vlogs We all enjoy them so much and best wishs an hope you have a grand week!

Lovely to see you enjoying a great with friends x

What a wonderful, happy life you all lead. William is just adorable.. Cheers from Chicago!

So enjoyable....thank you!!

I've had a really busy day, just watched your video and love it. You work so well as a team. Little William and the tiller. Fabulous. Enjoy. 🙏🌾🌴☀️

Very educational. Hard work enough running a boat but a business as well. Very impressed by your efforts.😊

Wonderful video. Thanks for making and posting. We know it's still early, but have you thought about William's schooling already? Sending him to a land-locked school, would probably mean a boarding school. But that is of coarse not what you would prefer. Alternative would be "home-schooling", but that might ask some preparation from your side. Maybe something to spend some thinking and discussion on?

Blackberry pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Great video and thanks. All the best.

Holly Reunited, and it feels so good her battery’s flat but we understood There's one perfect fit And, sugar, this one is it We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited

William’s hand on the tiller made my day 🥰🥰🥰

Ooh! You gotta Brompton bike.

Ha Ha Learning by bad experience is not the best way to learn. I learnt that the hard way by experience!!!!

In and out of your comfort food zone, spicy chocolat? You must be desperate! Crisps to the rescue! Aaahh. #happysinner This channel is no longer a vlog, it's a well recorded and edited family show! #williamspeaksduck

Another fun ride. Thanks

Love your channel love watching x

Always good to see you guys 👍

Lovely! Thanks for doing these vids - simply exquisite living...!

Hi Jo, Vic and little Bill So lovely to see you in a flotilla with Kay. Many moons ago Kay kindly met up with me, a keen watcher of canal/narrowboat vlogs, at Crick Boat Show and subsequently took me for a lovely cruise on Pea Green in the early days of Kay’s refurbishment of the boat. This made me realise just what was possible on a narrowboat, if you have the determination and right temperament. I have yet to manage to get my own boat, which is likely to be nearer to retirement, but wanted to thank yourselves and Kay for keeping that burning desire so strong within myself. Continue enjoying your wonderful lives. Take care, stay safe and keep those wonderful smiles, they light up my week. Best wishes Helen Barron (and Barney the dog 🐕‍🦺)

Thank you for giving me a few of my first laughs of the day! Brilliant video! I LOL when Vic had Wills on the till and said he would likely end up being being one of those boasting fella's...! LOL! You two are blossoming into awesome merchants, efficient cafe owners, and wonderful parents and partners! You both seem to take everything in stride (even with your battery problems...can you get a battery alarm somehow rigged up to your phone?), and little William is absolutely gorgeous. Get that baby into advertising! 👶LOL. I thought I saw Ben and Emily sitting at your cafe which is great because they are another two of my fav's. Cheers for your creativity and beautiful videos! 😘😘😘

My nan used to own a transport cafe in the 40/s&50s it's now the British legion in alwrewas on the A38 she gave it up to retire in Bournemouth

Absolutely delightful! Thanks for sharing all this.

Wonderful vlog! Your travel with a mix of three "floaters" and some walkabouts is really nice. Thank you

Enjoyed every minute, thanks.

Love the ‘ it doesn’t all fit .. in the fridge’ flashback.. thanks guys excellent video

Your wee bairn, is growing up fast. He'll be an old salt, a real swabbie before he's 4.
