I was so surprised the bag didn't burst when I failed to catch it. Yeah they were delicious Phil. And thanks for giving a title for the vid!

I had time to get in the music room. Put up a new KZread. Hope you like it.

Thanks Andrew and Val, we really enjoyed your vlog.

Hi Skip, only just got this message, don't know what youtube are up to with comments at the moment. They appear on some devises and not on others. Glad you're playing gigs again. We've been meaning to catch up with your music for a few days now, will give them a listen tomorrow. Hope all is well.

Always an enjoyable cruise along the Leicester summit .Thanks for the realistic description of being a working boater .lt’s like working on a farm ,the realities are not what you see on the television.but it can be fun .And Thanks to Val for the outro 👍

Thanks Tony. Funnily enough I recently KZread recently recommended a Jack Hargreaves 'Out of Town' video recorded in the 70s and he was talking about how hard it was working on a farm.

Thanks to both of you for a lovely video. Lots of interest in the hedgerows with fruit and berries. When I was young, I was fascinated by the Watford Gap, without really understanding what it was, apart from having a service area there. Tha ks Val for your song at the end. I know you have another on KZread, but I haven't watched it yet. Take care of each other.

Thanks to you both. My first knowledge of Watford Gap was the Roy Harper song from the early 70s, and I wasn't aware that routes other than the M1 shared the space until travelling by narrowboat. This is the good thing about narrowboat travelling, I mean who knew that the Birmingham/ Wolverhampton conurbation stood on a plateau? No matter which direction you approach it on via boat you have plenty of locks to go up.

Well, that’s every episode watched in the last week. I’ve come to the conclusion that one day I’m going to buy a narrow boat! 🤣 Love the Chanel you deserve many more subscribers!

Brilliant! Thanks for watching Rob. I've had a few people tell me they've bought a boat because of my vlogs. I reckon I should get commission on boat sales!

Having discovered you when your broken man video cropped up I binged all your content last week. Really enjoying it - keep up the good work. Lovely to see you appear in my neck of the woods - if you want a large audience when doing a lock then Foxton is the place to be! 😉

Thanks so much, and thanks for binge watching too!

We found vitamin yeast tablets kept the smell down in a cassette toilet - probably works the same in a pump-out. You can buy huge jars of the tablets very cheaply - just chuck a handful down.

I agree about ‘feeling’ the seasons. We have gone soft nowadays; you have sold the idea of a live aboard life more than any other channel. I’ll stick to Canadian canoeing along the Thames for now 👍 It’s been the making of your for sure!

Thanks so much Will. This one sadly wasn’t written by me. It’s an early Passenger song but I loved it from the moment I heard it and knew I had to cover it. To me the lyrics speak volumes in their simplicity and truth.
