I am ridiculously pleased that you haven’t been attacked by human vandals, all your hard work, it’s amazing how you can get so invested in someone else’s life.

Vic, I think you’re a natural for filling David Attenborough’s shoes in the more dangerous assignments like stalking the elusive and ferocious canal squirrel. Well done laddie. Thanks to you and Jo for sharing your wonderful journey. For a few minutes each week I’m transported to the peaceful and beautiful canals that are your domain.

I just realised that I spend the whole episode with a smile on my face, a real escape when watching your channel! Many thanks.

Thankfully it was click bait...was thinking about biffing vandals on their snoots.

Your little tote bags are absolutely gorgeous, received mine the other week and loved the packaging, quite exciting getting a hand wrapped parcel through the post. Thank you so much 🙏🏽

Ah so glad you like it Sandra! Thanks for your support! :-)

I have missed seeing you. I was worried that something had happened to you. Very glad to see you, Jo and Vic!

I thank you for sharing the wild life and the beautiful surroundings of the English countryside, it is absolutely stunning and Vic you finally got some footage of the squirrel. Have a lovely day.

What great shots of the "local vandal" certainly made my Friday having missed you last week. Thank you.

Another satisfied customer, love the care you took in packing and posting, as well as the personalised card. Andy, Barry

Terrific episode. Loved the gently satiric humourous touch at the end.

Worried about you both last week as there was no video. Watching now.

Finally watched this episode. Loved the diary bit at the end.

Our hearts sank when we read your title. So glad it was only nuts falling. Your 15 minute or so clip is our start to the weekend after a stressful week and missed you last Friday. Would love a coffee from Holly but no canals in the Scottish Borders.

I'm charmed by you both, once again! Best wishes from Kentucky USA & Happy gestational summer! 🥰🤗🤰🦸

I was going to say what Kathy Barns said and felt dreadful but was a little confused when the vid started with Jo smiling and yacking normally and, it wasn't until squirrel nutkins started dropping his debris onto the roof of your boat that I had to smile and breathed a sigh of relief! Vic's ending to the vid was classic! Well done both. Good luck to you!

You are the epitome of the famous British humor, well done.

Jo, Vic, worried about not seeing you both last week. Glad your both looking well and happy. Those pesky squirrles (loved the short video at he end). What a lovely part of the countryside you are in this week. Your excellent Vlogs always make me happy. Thank you. Take care.

Squirrels are my favourites! Cutest animal of the forrest. Interesting too to see Armitage from the street-side, several of the boats I follow have passed it and talked about it so getting to see a little more was great.

Too funny. I absolutely love this editing style. I think it’s brilliant and very cleverly done.

Thank you for sharing your lives with us. I look out for new videos every week and the slight delay in posting, and the brilliant title of this video had me fearing the worst. Great to see Jo looking so well and blooming!

Hi Jo and Vic, like alot of others, I too was really shocked when I saw the title... but so relieved that you are both OK! So pleased to see you both looking so happy and healthy.. Stay safe and keep up the good work.. 🍷🍷

Hi guys We watch you every week love your since of humor coffee boat and now a little person on the way all the best stay safe from NZ

So much work goes into each of your videos, I don't know how you keep it up, but I'm glad that you do. Great to see you both every week.

Guys! Don't do this! I was afraid something happened to your boat(s) or even you. I mean, the assailant is not to be underestimated and I am happy that everything worked out fine, but still. :-)

Makes me so homesick seing the green hedges along the footpaths. Love you guys.

I won't deny that my blood pressure surged when i saw that you had been vandalized. Wanting to return to a relaxed and joyful exterior, there was a significant delay in thoroughly evaluating this weeks contribution to my personal enjoyment. The guilt was daunting but eventually I was able to overcome the hesitation and get it over with. Whew! Very glad it's over.... In spite of the hair raising and very intentional sabotage to your boat, one MUST admit that this WAS a very enjoyable aspect to this vlog. The attempts to document the culprit actively vandalizing the boat was both admirable and humorous. I am truly disappointed to say that as well as you documented the culprit in the act, his(her?) attire was clearly well thought out. While nothing stood out in a crowd, he/she/it managed to camouflage even the slightest identifying feature. No tattoos or other identifiable marks apparent. I am afraid that it will be difficult to prosecute, but fairly simple to duplicate. Such behavior MUST be STOPPED! Thank you for editing and uploading such a wonderful vlog in spite of such tragic and PERSONAL trauma. You are both absolute professionals, from beginning to end. I am proud to have witnessed, second hand, your brilliant performance.

We had squirrels in a tree in our garden ... they do actually throw nut shells at you ... and they really are quite good shots! At first we thought it was next door throwing things at us for a joke until we realised who the real culprits were ! Great vlogs ... and don’t be worrying about the way you look Jo ... you look absolutely radiant! ... Although I must admit that if I had posted footage of my wife’s bum walking along a towpath on t’internet I probably wouldn’t be able to type for a couple of weeks or so!

My heart sank when I read the title! Glad you're all good. Love the channel and you guys. And Jo, don't feel guilty about letting Vic do all the heavy work! If you ever get down south (Kennet and Avon) I will come and buy a coffee for sure.

Watched your vlog this morning and was so excited when I saw you preparing your bags for the post. I then received mine this afternoon. It literally made my day!! My husband and I have enjoyed your vlogs and we send you our best wishes. You two are a lovely couple. Cheers!

Missed you guys last Friday. Vic with the plants on his hat has me cracking up! Have a great week.

🤣😂 Love the Diary commentary, yes its amazing to get close to the endangered gray Squirrel 😆. Or as there more common name is (Sciurus Carolinenis) So glad you didn't get attacked and drag back to its den. Must be your professional experience that saved you. 😊

Super congratulations on your growing bump, such exciting times. Savour every moment and thanks for sharing. You will be amazing parents.

A joy and pleasure to watch you both

Hi Guys. That was a traumatic vid. When I saw the title I thought, 'send me the photo and I'll send the lads round.' Then I saw you had 9 views. What is happening? Then I saw it was a few minutes after your upload. Loved the ending. If you are that keen on squirrel videos, come to our garden to see them running all over the trees. And re-planting our bulbs.

Loved the video jo is looking a radiant mother to be ❤️❤️

As always I thoroughly enjoyed your video. You’re both so natural in front of the camera and make me smile and laugh without fail...especially with the ending on this episode! Thanks! Pam 🤗

Lovely to see you looking so well and happy. Love watching your vlogs and seeing what you've been up to. Best wishes and take care

Your vlogs are a breath of fresh air. Very unique. You always make me smile x

Victor the great 'naturist' on a mission to capture squirrels in their natural habitat. Now I'm jealous, I am going to have to order myself a tote bag.

An absolute pleasure to travel with you two, am at peace after each episode.

You had ys worried for a moment, So funny Vic...you should be in films, we were the loonies shouting congratulations when we passed on our narrow boat, we missed not having a vlog last week, you are blooming Jo, and any one in their right mind is more than happy to do the locks for a pregnant lady, take care xx

Was scared when first seen the title and thought "Oh NO!" But you made a pet for a day! lol He just wanted to share his nuts, Love ya both, big hugs! ❤😊

Brilliant. Your videos always leave me feeling happy and relaxed (not my normal state !). Love the way you seem to find everything amusing - I think your new baby is going to have a great life with you two as parents. Lots of love x

Good to see you are both doing well and enjoying life.

Such a wicked sense of humour - yet another great vlog 😊

I really can’t express how much your vlog cheers me, thanks you beautiful people! Xxxxx

Lovely vlogs as always and glad to see the bags going global!

These gentle water-paintings feed the soul.

Keep doing your normal stuff when pregnant. That’s what we did, cycling, walking everything. We only had to stop for the last couple of months.

I also was concerned that Jo was given the "don't do this/that/the other"...propaganda during pregnancy. Unless there is some condition that puts the pregnancy at risk, maintaining a normal routine is crucial.

Nice to see you back, had me a little worried and wishing we had your number to check if you were alright. Even when you're not a parent, you can still think like one. Great vlog. Good to see you're slowing down a bit and Jo is finding her new pace. Vic, David Attenborough you're not, but you are amazing with the camera and with nature. Thanks, really pleased to see you both, do take care.

Love the channel and love the diaries clip. Really made me smile. Keep filming guys (and girls)!

You two have such natural beauty inside and out

Squirrel 2, Victor 0. Shout from Canterbury New Zealand. Your flogs are brilliant, thank you!

Like other people I was getting really upset your boat was attacked 😂😂😂loved the pictures of the vandel naughty squirrel. 💓👍 great vlog

Brilliant. Love the "Diaries". Keep up the great work.

Another great Vlog. I just love watching you two.

Loved it! So happy I found d you guys! X

Brilliant, just what's needed on a Friday evening really look forward to your vlogs . Cheers Keith ps the bag was a hit with my misses Thank you

Happy all is well and it was a delight to be in your company again this week. Take care.

Lovely to see you back great vlog x

Hi, the funny marigold looked like Fox and Cubs,/Orange Hawkweed. Best wishes

Another epic episode! Thanks guys

Thank you so much for the clips about trying to photo the wild life > It had me in stiches which I so needed today! so deep thanks to you both. especially as at the start of the vlog I was so worried for you all what with that title, and having been subject to real vandalism near Brum on the main line some years ago with youths armed with catapults on a rail bridge we had to pass under!! only saving grace they must have been beginners ! sail safe and keep well!

Stay well! Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoy watching your videos. Always have a smile on my face afterwards 😄

Brilliant as always....

Skipped through your video to see what a’holes were giving you grief and what do I find ? a squirrel bombarding your boat hahahaha nice one xxxx

The Great Squirrel Hunter might get more usable photos with the lens cap off. 😄

Absolutely loving you two, was getting worried as you’d not been on for a while!...🥺 so pleased your both ok 👌....hope to be cruising the cut soon and we would love to see you both and have a special coffee ☕️, keep up the great things you are doing 😊

This video was great, it's like going on a holiday from the comforts of my living room also you guys are an adorable couple I'll be sure to watch more of your videos over the next few days.

I love how you’ve expanded towards using some (obviously) previously acquired skills. Really enjoying the humour, the cuts to B&W etc 👍

I'll say it again ... Vic your a nut! Jo your a star! lol :) Take it easy both of you, especially you Jo :) Great Vlog as always.

Delightful video... thank you

Loved every second of this ♥ !

I will be watching ever episode. You two are fabulous. Can't wait to meet the new little one.

What a lovely video. I was a little concerned by the title, as I thought one of you boats had been damaged by human vandals. Very pleased to learn it was just a squirrel. Joanna, you are looking so healthy and you’re right not to do anything which strains the stomach muscles. Vic was very funny in his wildlife filming episode. You are both an amazing couple. We still hope to see you one day this summer. Take care, all three of you xx

Glad to see you back, i subscribed a couple of weeks ago, and didn't see any videos posted i thought something happened , hooked on your videos, watched them all , now looking forward to the new ones, a fan from Nova Scotia Canada.

Nicely chosen music on this one. Highly enjoyable as always. Hope you make and sell more bags!

G"day Jo & Vic from Brisbane Australia, really enjoying your videos each time, remindes me of the time in 1976 when i hired a narrowboat ,wishing you all the best in the future.

Great video. The baby will love your sense of humor.🥰

You guys are a pleasure, thanks for sharing! Don't know how long your channel has been going but I ran across you about a month ago. Catching up as we speak.

Squirrel activity equals urban camoflage. 😉😉🐿️ 😉😉Although that emoji looks like a chipmunk!! Loved the cooking, eating and exercise parts but...the beauty of English canal country, nature and your sense of enjoying what is ....my favorites. 🍰🌺❣️🌺🍰 Thank you for my weekly imaginings. 🧙🌄🧙

I just love love love love y’all humor in your vblogs Keep up the good work lots of love from Louisiana

Love the intros and outros every week - you two always keep it interesting! Safe travels, and watch out for the nuts along the cut :)

So glad everything was okay 👍 Thank you for my Holly tote bag, I absolutely love it! 😊

Oh my goodness, I just found your channel & I’m absolutely loving catching up with your journey! I’ve been dreaming of loving on a narrowboat & Now the cogs are turning to figure out a boaty business… Floating nursery 🌱, floating spa 🧖🏽‍♀️, floating disco 🕺…? Such a fun, wholesome channel, love it 🙌🏻

At first I thought 'oh no!!' then realized that the Yob's were squirrels! lol....they can be sooo territorial! And it looked like a Mum squirrel which would explain her pelting things at the boat! I used to have a garden in a very populated squirrel neighborhood, and they would wait for me to drive up and park, and while I was gardening at the allotment, they would chuck things at my car...acorns, twiggy leaves...!

Y'all make good videos and this one definitely counts as a standout among them! :D (am dealing with a chronic illness flare today and this video has illustrated that laughter indeed is good medicine)

Great to see all the prep of the parcels being sent out . Received mine today……many thanks x. Take care and happy squirrel hunting. Lol. ……Chris x

I love the ending - hilarious!

I agree. Keep up with your exercise. Swimming and biking especially. Good for you xx

I received my lovely tote bag and your hand written note was kind and thoughtful. Thank you 🙂

Another great video - missed you last week! Stay safe!

Aww, you two and the Bump! I love watching your videos, and so pleased that it was a small, furry vandal, and not a human(ish) one! :-)

Thanks guys for the smashing vid. Laughed at your Attenborough like bit at the end. Your much better than him. :-) Nice way to start my weekend watching your antics!

Haha you got me there ! Glad it was just the squirls :-) keep it up .. your videos genuinely make us happy

That's was just so cute..vic the great squirrel photographer...

Aww jic that bit at the end had me cracking up. Fantastic , keep on keeping on .. cheers
