    Where I live, when trees are planted like that, it’s called a windbreak. And they are usually a type of poplar tree. They are planted to stop high winds from blowing over fields.
    So happy you rescued the baby deer.
    You made my Friday afternoon.

    Hi Amy and Wes. Shame about the deer. Glad you were able to get it out of the canal and gave it the best chance. Wow a visit to IKEA. You did really well to visit and not spend over £100 pounds on things you didn’t go for 🤣Take care. Nick

    Those trees are poplars - conifers are usually evergreen. I can’t believe how summery you both looked in your pale coloured converse - and a pretty yellow dress … it must have been that one day of spring we had!!

    Good filming and music. Hearing the baby deer scream was hard, I don’t even want to imagine how it was for you to be listening to it. But you and The Bears did a nice thing. Loved your visit to IKEA. I have never been to one. Do they have Vegan hot dogs? Love seeing Rufus running free up and down the towpath. Fun vlog!

    I was so excited to see you were in Stoke Hammond and then onto Milton Keynes where I used to live and walked long the 11 miles of the towpath often . Fenny Stratford is the beginning of MK .My office was in Bletchley ! and I lived further north in MK in Stantonbury near Linford Wood. There are so many neat Pubs along the Canal. Hope you got to visit some. Thanks for taking me back to my home away from home for a bit . Actually Bletchley, Stony Stratford and Wolverton and Newport Pagnell were the four towns incorporated into MK and about 20 villages . The canal was purposely included in the plans for the development of MK. All developed before you were born ! Milton Keynes is so unique and has so many parks and walks and bike paths. It is less then 60 years old ! Did you get to see the Museum at Bletchley Park ?

    These tall narrow trees are poplars and I would avoid mooring under them - they're quite brittle because they grow fast. Another reason to avoid them in spring is the huge amount of fluffy mess that falls off them when they bloom.

  • @Roo-s_Life
    @Roo-s_Life 8 месяцев назад +1

    I think the big tall trees you liked are lombardy poplars. Love that yellow dress on you Amy. Well done for saving the fawn (baby deer) hopefully the leg wasn't broken and will make a full recovery xx

    Omg the baby deer drama! So good that you were able to rescue it. Dead animals in the canal is literally the number 1 worst thing about boatlife 😭
    We went to that ikea so many times when we moored at Fenny Stratford, that shopping area is so hostile to pedestrians! Why must we frolic through the bushes??

    • @BoatTime
      @BoatTime  8 месяцев назад

I introduced him to his first pair of Crocs at nearly 39 years old and I was explaining charms that you can have on them, had a general Google to show him and torch ones came up, torches you put onto your crocs, such a good idea for towpaths
