Hello - thank you for the lovely video. Sure liked that town you stopped at. Looked like a great place. Plus they put out doggie water and treats. Great they had vollies to help at the locks. Well mother nature dropped 8 inches of snow on us. Was only to get 1 to 4 inches but guess the storm zigged and zagged a bit and decided to dump more on us. Well it is spring in the Midwest - could be 70 one day and snowing the next. Pet the puppies for me and take care. Spin

Hi Spinner! Sophie called to show us the snow! Couldn’t believe it. I bet you can’t wait for the warmer weather to come. Alrewas is such a lovely village. It was one of the first places we stopped when we left the marina after we launched and that was our third time back there! So many beautiful houses and cottages, and a lovely butchers and coffee shop and of course the chippy! 😊

That is scary behavior. When we go camping I always have to remind my partner that other campers are not always trustworthy.

Cripes! Did the would be thief's boat actually look anything like yours? The nerve of that guy. Surprised Poppy and Hamish didn't give him what for. Still, at least he was foiled! That was fun seeing the Wind in the Willows quote on the side of that building and then hearing Richard Briers voice. Love that guy. Terrific actor, very funny. Great in the Good Life.

Sadly the CRT don't even bother to collect licence fees off the loonys, to much hassle 😏 I knew a guy who was a canal chaplain of sorts, there was a community in London that lived off the dole and paid no CRT fees, a real collection of misfits, thieves, druggies, alcoholics and mental cases. You just hope they don't decide to cruise around

Unfortunately thefts have increased dramatically as more and more people are deciding to become ' Off Grid ' and take to Narrowboating,it’s becoming common for people to lose their Pins whilst moored and gone for a Walk. My Son is a Detective and the Police are being called to more problems associated with Narrowboating than they were,even down to domestic violence and violence between other Boaters and unfortunately it is going to get worse with the amount of Boats moving onto the Canal System. The CRT pretty soon are going to be announcing a huge change to many of the current Boats with the Banning of the burning of Fossil Fuels ( especially wood ( green ),you will only be allowed to use kiln dried wood etc and coalite and not Coal. The CRT will also be coming down hard on those Boats who are Contaminating the Waterways ,emptying bilges full of oil and water and engines that are going to be non compliant with the emissions requirements that are being introduced soon !. One of the main reasons 99% of the Boat builders are going full Electric with the Engine and heating system within the Boats 🤷‍♂️. I would definitely recommend getting a Full Time Mooring while there are still some spaces because it is going to be a requirement for Narrow Boats in the future for when they are registered with the CRT…..These Payments for your Certification are going to be increasing dramatically over the next few years and those who have boats over 60' are going to be paying the Most !.

Hi... I'm Daniel, greetings from Brazil. I am an admirer of the English canal boat lifestyle and one of the doubts and curiosities is the legal issues of having a boat and using it on the canals. Just as we pay taxes and fees for owning a car or motorcycle, we also pay tolls and fees for traveling on highways. Also with boats and canals is the the same principle? What are the taxes and fees that a boat must pay periodically to navigate the English canals and park along its banks? Thanks ❤
