    Hi Phil, that was such a scenic vlog, and the birdsong was amazing!
    Boots sat on my lap staring at me intently all the way through it, then when the music started, once again he sat up and watched it! 😂

    Pretty area, seems so peaceful and love the greenery. Your videos are always a relaxing break. Thanks for sharing!

      Thank you. It is peaceful along there but in the early 90s there was an American airbase at Upper Heyford and the fighter jets would take off and fly right overhead. The noise was incredible and would happen suddenly without warning.

    First time viewer. Very enjoyable 😉 not a lot of babbling and close up face time.just a beautiful cruise with quiet commentary, and it could be spring.

      Thank you. I have several small aquariums now. I think you meant reading the lord of the rings? Not sure what to do about the new music track? It's not finished yet but it is complete enough to use as background music in a video sometime..?

    Hello Phil, Just to say thank you for such a truly great channel. I can’t remember when I subscribed but perhaps I’ve never fully appreciated your content. With my best wishes, David

    I noticed in this video that along most of the stretch you travelled today the towpath had total disappeared with farmer almost ploughing up to the canal bank😢!

    • @NarrowboatJourneys
      @NarrowboatJourneys  4 месяца назад +1

      There is a path all the way along. Not well maintained but passable.

    Too bad you couldn't go any further. Upside is you are first in line to use the lock when it is ready to be used 😄

      I'd had enough for one day anyway. Moved on the next day, already done the video for that trip.

      We're ok thanks. Canals are timeless, not usually changing much from year to year.

    Perhaps the not so positive commentaters might try to do a vido themselves to see the time, effort and creativity required. I have done many over the years and it can be tedious, frustrating YET also rewarding. A video from you from any time of a year is alway a treat.

    I didn't realise we were watching old footage, I prefer to stick to the latest up to date vids

    • @NarrowboatJourneys

      My videos are free to watch, or not, it's entirely up to you. The recording process is quick but each one takes several days to edit and upload, and I have other things to do as well. Given the amount of cruises I do, sometimes daily, a considerable backlog is inevitable. ;-)
