Ahhh Jo, Vic thank you for the mention. I had a great time with you two youngsters 😁 The boards were fun really. I've got my board primed and undercoated. Ready for top coat. 🤔 Worcestershire sauce colours 🙊 Love your videos and we will see you soon as you come further south. 👍

Haha Worcestershire sauce, great choice! Looking forward to seeing the boards when top coated :-D Thanks again Jamie, the A boards make all the difference! See you soon

Jo and Vic, you have been such a great tonic for so many struggling with the COVID-19 lockdown depression. One video from you and my whole day brightens up even on the darkest, dullest of your Winter days. I wish you every kind of success in your lives.

Do not be depressed from this virus shamdemic. Don't let these cruel billionaires think they have defeated us.

Vic Jo lm nearly 63yrs old! I decided to start my own business 6yrs ago. I did invest considerably, however it’s paid off, my grandson is now my apprentice. I did threaten 30 odd years ago do start said business. Oh how I wish I did. I’m more relaxed and I’m introducing my grandson how to run a business without any hassle. Both your faces show complete contentment. Carry on enjoying the business and the lifestyle.

I've been in Australia for 30yrs,you two make me so homesick. Love you and your videos. Sooo natural.

LOL! Totally!! ... Essex movies: "Star Dust" and "Silver Dream Racer" - Embarrassed to admit I was a big David Essex fan mid 1970's ... I even met him once at Brands Hatch and again with his backing band The Real Thing in Cardiff late 70's, after party n all!!

Richard,Ruth, Jamie and the wonderful artists all in one video. So many kind and helpful people, you are blessed. Thank you for sharing and introducing us to Jamie. I enjoy watching him build things ☺️

Hi Penny. Lovely comments ❤️

Great video. even reviewed 2 times !!! and today I posted a video of how the captain skillfully swept the ship from the impact with the pier in the north of Russia. Happy viewing.

That painting is remarkable.

Great vlog guys,😀👍Vic you look so Sophisticated with your cravat and woolly hat, it reminds me of the David Essex tv series that was on the telly years ago called the river he was a lock Keeper.

A small fan wafting your bread, baking and coffee smells into the neighbourhood would be a great way to entice customers to your serving hatch...

Perfection in every way possible for a vlog.

This came up in my YT feed this morning. It's so fun to see how far you've come in two years! So many changes! From A-boards to cookbooks! ✔️

Jamie's furniture carvings are so intricate and intense! Definitely an artist! I could sit here for hours and listen to Jo and Vic's accents, absolutely love them! I loved Jamie's suggestion of matching the A-boards painting with Narrowboat Holly.

Wow amazing coffee shop plus living on the cannel.

Richard and Ruth - a lovely couple!

you two look happier than ever, shame you didnt tell us the recipe for your bubble and squeak i am old enough to know what it is. and love it, keep u tubing

You should make a cake of your cafe boat Holly.

As an artist i totally agree with your woodworker friend

Vic’s sense of humour is a real tonic ! I have really enjoyed watching you both develop your “video personalities “over the last few months ... that baby’s going to have fantastic parents 😁

I've been waiting for your video, how I enjoy them. Sending you 2 a ton of love and positive thoughts and prayers dear family 🙏💞🙏💞

Really enjoy your videos. You’re both so chill. I can actually feel my stress slipping away as you share your adventures and goodwill. Wishing you much success and happiness.

Another horrid slog of a week in NJ, with a great ending. Watching the two of you just made my week.

Wonderful thank you. Can’t wait for the day I have my own boat and come for a coffee x

Thanks for the vlogs guys ... one of those little beautiful little things that have kept so many of us sane and amused throughout difficult times. I have to admit that I have long questioned why you didn’t have A boards out ... but ... the other thing you could think of is adding blackboards to your hatch doors so you could chalk up today’s specials on them before flinging them wide open of a morning ... Kind of framing a visual front door ...

These are not "difficult" times. This is a time of cruelty to mankind based on a lie.

Great show. I like the boat building, but this one is a great days in the life.

Always a joy! I’ve been burning a fire in the kitchen stove while I do dishes with the outside door wide open. Getting the fresh air in the house. A few days ago I worked outside all day without my shirt on. Today I took a nap in the sun on a lawn chair.

Thank you so much for using us and the lovely coverage! Hope you have a lovely trading season and see you in a couple of days as we travel back up the Trent and Mersey xx

Awesome video as always Guys. Thanks for sharing.

Laughed that your “ancient computer” is 6 years old. Still using my laptop from 1998.

That was SO good Guys .. may I class my repetition with 'imitation' as being the greatest compliment I can manage? - BETTER AND BETTERER. I truly look forward all week for your next edition.

Jo,Vic, another great Vlog. Glad Holly is very busy. You are lovely people and its a pleasure to see you guys on your weekly adventures. Love the two new self standing advert boards too. Take Care.

Glad you got some A boards

Thanks guys ❤️

I think the boater using the fuel boat is also a vlogger. His last film mentioned Holly in Alerwas

Ah really, will check that out!

Working pretty hard 😂 eating chocolate and watching funny cat video's 😂 did Joanna resist eating strawberries while she was picking them🤔

Ahh, bubble and squeak, my old favourite! Vic and Jo, why not consider adding a robot vacuum like a Roomba to help stay on top of the dust. We used to run one in our 60ft narrowboat and it was really good at finding and sweeping up the dusty parts, especially around the fireplace. You could then run it on both Holly and Zero :)

Wow Vic is really colour coordinated today looking extremely smart,...no jumping in the canal today Vic Jo is always smart in so many ways ,she should sell her lovely smiles ,she'd make a fortune and forget all the sweat making Lemon drizzle cakes. Take care guys wishing you lots of sunshine and mega sales. Cheers from Canada ....,now have a nice lunch

Cracking video!...and great to see Jamie make an appearance, seems like such a great bloke..love his channel.....see you next Friday!👍

The fuel boat folks were awesome - friendly & talent there! Canal economy - you are a part of it now. Looks like you are enjoying this - I am enjoying watching!

I know I keep watching older vids but they tend to pop up randomly whilst following on from current ones…even from other channels; with the theme of narrow boating 🤭 although you probably like me ‘binge’ watching lol! Luvlay ‘kimono’ Joanna! 😉

jo you are so funny and vic your humour is so dry love your videos hope to have a tea one day :}

I am glad to see the A boards... what weather you are having. But as you point out Spring is here.

Your energy, enthusiasm and sense of fun is so contagious thank you for sharing your life with us and wish all 3 of you good luck.

Really enjoyable watch credit to your sense humour could do with an hour of that. Brightens up my weekend Thanks Jo and Vic xx

Hope those sandwich signs are coming. Still think you need a two wheel dolly. For easier way to transport supplies. That loaf of bread looked delicious.

Cooling is key, I think it may ght be worth you looking at a chest freezer solution to allow you to do ice creams and freeze milk to use as a reserve and also Ice packs. You can also buy your milk in a pergle (spelling) which is a huge box of milk with a tap like a giant wine box. I'm sure you've considered freezing bread and cakes which might be viable for afternoon teas and everyone loves toast muffins and crumpets. Some good ways to add value to a purchase. If the intention is a cafe boat not just a coffee boat.

Brilliant

Tom from Quebec Canada You can freeze your milk for a long time so you will never run out .

Another one of many relaxing enjoyable videos. Great job guys! I enjoy your videos so much that I force myself NOT to hit the skip button during commercials ☺️

I love how it doesn't matter how cold wet and miserable it gets, you two are always cheery. Ice cream, mars bars and cold drinks, you'll need a bigger hatch for 3 servers. Thanks for a great vlog. Cheers

Note that you mentioned ‘soft drinks’!!!! Chance to develop your ‘Lancashire drinks side’ of the business lass. To complement Lancaster Coffee / Tea how about some Mr Fitzpatrick’s cordials as sold in The Temperance Bar at Rawtenstall???

You two are artists, your editing, of course the two subject matters help a lot, your filming and your putting all the pieces together to create what you have, you should be proud. I wonder if a website would be better than insta, I also wonder if you will have a preferred route in the future? Cakes by Holly could be on the website, there might not be the same money as individual slices but when the third boat comes along you might have the ability but I don't want to suggest something that makes you busier... Remember the cold Jo, it will soon be a fond memory. Here in Au it's getting cold so the warmth is coming.

I love your choice of music - as a pro musician (and jazz pianist), the tracks are all so fresh and well-chosen. Keep it up, and here's hoping that the weather will play in your favour!

Hi Jo and Vic, another lovely vlog. If ever there was a perfect advert for promoting narrowboats and what a great lifestyle it is, then you two are the perfect example. Cheers again....🍷🍷

Hi there, was rewatching your older videos,(how I practice relaxaction) and laughed at your comments about keeping thing picked up, thought of all of William's stuff....

relaxing :)

Great video! Hate battery died while talking to the lady on the coal boat. As always, thank you for sharing. Watching you two makes me so jealous!💚 You're still COC....cutest couple on the cut!! 😍

I have falling in love with you two! Biggest Squishy Hugs from SE Ontario, Canada!

My 13yr old Yellow English Labrador's name is Holly haha we got her in December (Christmas time) and my wife came up with Holly just thought it was great to see the name of your Cafe boat is Holly haha ❤️

I quite enjoy it when I can start lighting the fire again

Great meeting you today at Barton. Lovely coffee too

You two always make me smile

Another great watch .I always want coffee when see you make it .Have a great week .💕👋

Hey all, caught up on pass video's so now once a week. So much fun and makes me hungry with all the baking. Oh btw, if you start a good fire then put 2 big wet pieces on top the fire will dry it out as it burns, learned that while growing up on a farm, only wood heat for the first 60 years of my life. But I only had to haul the wood in for the first 30 years, 21 to 25 cord of wood per year. 4 foot X 4 foot X 8 foot That's the stack size that is a cord.

Nice vlog nice to see you've pinched our fuel boat here off the Llangollen 🤣🤣👍👍

New subscriber here, what an amazing lifestyle you live. So relaxing to watch your videos thank you for your efforts 👍

I love this channel. Its nice to see the signs. Don't worry about fancy writing. Print it on a computer, chalk the back, and go over the lines to etch the chalk onto the wood. Then paint over. Also, the fuel boat - you can normally call them and order, so they place the order on your roof from the water side if you're not there

Always fun❗️thanks for taking us along👍✅

Another very interesting episode from two lovely happy smiley people thanks. 🙃🇦🇺

Really nice videos, guys, you're both so natural and 'very' entertaining. Some really funny remarks as well, ' if I'd done thirty-nine miles, I wouldn't want to speak to me either', ha, ha, ha, very funny. Great, stay safe and keep up the good work.

Thanks for another great vlog!

Great vlog as usual guys 😊

Love you both.

Hi Jo & Vic- What a fun vlog. I enjoy you both so much. The signboards are a super great idea. He did a good job on them. I can't wait to see them all painted in Holly's colors. I'm so surprised at how cold it is there. We were there in April in 2017 for our anniversary. We did have one day that was cold...(I bought gloves at the Street Market at Morton In Marsh). We did get a few specks of snow. But the rest of the time was great. We are so used to the warmth of Florida, we get cold quickly. But we were fine. We had such a good time. Are you going to make homemade ice cream this summer? I bet it would be VERY popular. You wouldn't need to have lots of flavors. Just vanilla, chocolate and one other flavor of the day!!! Thank you for making Friday's special for me. I look forward to your entry. God Bless you both. Sue Smith in Florida.

How come this video isn't in the playlist but the following one about towing is? Great series, looking forward to next episode. EDIT: It is now showing in the playlists.

Wish we had a canal near by, would love to pop down for a coffee and a butty, the bread type not the boat type 😊

Thanks for another great Friday treat. Good to see the business is starting to happen after all your hard work. Stay safe!

Another fun blog you always make them funny really enjoy them

I agree about the tidy kitchen thing even in a house. I love your vlogs keep going Vic Nd Jo xxxx

Good stuff as usual guys. Bread looked absolutely delish.

Could watch that again! You guys have a really good knack at making a video on everyday life so great 👍

At the end telling us where your going to be is perfect, will get you more trade I would of thought 😊😊😎👍 I will come and have a coffee or two 😂👍

Hi Jo Vic,great to see you both,the fuel boat just in time hay just love the sound of their engine,now that’s a good idea to sell ice cream I think it would sell very well ,love the door bar lock good thinking Vic well how nice is that two notices boards what a guy ,,most enjoyable blog looking forward to the next one ,till then take care keep safe,John 🌹🥂❤️👀🌈🌺🎂⛽️

Glad to see your still around after all this lock down moments keep up the great work and good luck at your next morning ✌️👏🤩😍❤️🍀

Always love watching your videos. I really admire your work ethic, you really deserve to succeed.
