    Locks will never be boring to me. Everyone of them are a new experience. I can watch them all day long. Out of the views, they are the best things to watch.

      @@NarrowboatJourneys oh!!! I’m sorry. I thought you was talking about us. I totally understand. And then there is the Gongoozlers too. They just stand around and watch you work. If I lived in England, I would spend my spare retirement time down by the canal helping opening and closing locks. You can count on that. ❤️

    Wonder what the kitties think or do when the boat stops /starts / goes through locks with all the rushing water sounds and gates clanking. 😸😸 I'm sure these guys are used to all that now.

      Bushka was sitting on the kitchen worktop, not waiting by the door like he usually does. Midge got a head start!

    Rush hour on the canal , I must admit I find those deep locks ( they appear deep to me ) to be quite daunting and over bearing .
    Take care .

    • @NarrowboatJourneys

      These weren't too bad, just too many of them for my liking. I don't like deeper locks, or wide locks very much.

    G'day Phil,
    I've just found out that if I watch the advertisements, it's to your financial advantage.
    Perhaps we the followers of your channel can make this small sacrifice and refrain from hitting the skip-adds option.
    Thanks for the vlogs.
    Douglas.

      The lock flight had been closed for weeks to save water. There were a lot of boats waiting to use them on that day.
