    Burton is world renowned for the quality of it's beer. It's all down to the water used. In times gone by rival breweries up and down the country would go to Burton to take water samples to see if they could reproduce it, naturally they couldn't. I'm a Londoner now living these past 40 years in Dorset and I picked up that information somewhere along the way! I'm enjoying your videos and looking forward to seeing how your boat is inside. Great respect to you, I like an independent woman.

    Going under the low steel bridge.....I ducked too! You handle your boat really well and do a great job of the commentary. I've never done a canal boat cruis but have done the Norfolk Broads - some great pubs! Lotsa love - Martin from New Zealand now!

    I was so invested in that swan at the front of the boat, thought he was going to be a sidekick on your adventures, lol. Hopefully, he makes a return at some point!

    Aww I was sad to see the swan swim off, but I suppose they needed to be somewhere. It's a small world when you meet another boat with such a similar name! I wish I'd bought one years ago.

    • @bettyonaboat

    Been following since you started. You went past my house just before the Stretton A38 bridge. The canal just before and the one after the Bridge inn at tatenhill are the worst bits for road noise. Ps :- grab a pizza from the Bridge. They’re top class.

    • @bettyonaboat

    Hi Betty, I really love it when your latest installment pops up on my YT feed! Thanks for the time snd effort you put in to do these. I also live solo on a boat, but she's a sailboat called Starlight and my mooring is on the coast of Pembrokeshire in Wales. I go out sailing whever i can. All the best, Paul.

    • @bettyonaboat
      @bettyonaboat  7 месяцев назад

      Yes I’m not sure what the reason is! I think it’s a worldwide thing with boats, e.g. that’s how they pass in the sea too.

    I’ve walked on the stretch of canal you’re on. I went as far as Alrewas, which is quite a nice place.
    The people you went past who saw you talking to the camera, probably thought you were talking to the boat. Which is probably more embarrassing.😂
