    Good Morning Paul, Anthony and Dexter-Dog. You always tell us a story, and this week's story was so well crafted, the editing, the music showed us all those barmy couple of days we had late Summer. There was so much feeling. Loved the start of the vlog when Paul told Anthony what he was going to eat (Coffee Cake). The look on Anthony's face was brilliant. Loved the scene with Anthony having a towel on his forehead which made me chuckle. Anthony is such a scene stealer at times. Paul did a perfect winding, well done Paul. Loving the way you are sitting out on the tow path to escape the heat on the boat. Dexter-Dog was gorgeous as ever. And what an amazing Vlogger's party you all had. Such an uplifting Vlog. I could feel the heat of the Sun oozing from my monitor!!!! Another lovely, and well crafted Vlog. Thank you guys. Have a great week. Take care.

      Morning. Re watching this made me realise how hot it was during those days on the boat. Dexter hated it bless him. Amazing how perkier he was when it cooled down. Coffee and cake! Paul! Never 😂. That was such a packed week. Loved seeing everyone at the vlogger’s party. Such a lovely bunch of people. Paul is definitely more confident at the tiller which is great as he is happy to move on his own. Hope you are having a good start to your weekend. Take care ❤️

    It is comforting watching this on a cold, damp, dismal day at the end of September! Yes, when we had the hot weather, I was desperately trying to keep cool, and moaning about it (also had to stop filming for YT) but now, looking back on it, I want it again! Great video Paul & Anthony. You are genuinely one of the very nicest people on RUclips. Terrific work, take care, Paul.

    Hi guys, a bit late this weekend but oh how I love travelling along with the three of you. Just watching the beautiful scenery drifting by is very relaxing. We can appreciate the work though having to get water on a regular basis. Waking up to those views each day, takes your breath away. You must be glad your hot days are over, ours are just beginning. I so wanted the winter to stay but it’s over for another year. Stay happy and great cruising. Laurel and Keith 👩‍❤️‍👨

      Hey Keith. Some lovely scenery on this canal. Glad you enjoyed it too. The water, disposal of rubbish can be hard work but definitely worth it for the lifestyle we have. Can’t begin to tell you how horrible that heatwave was. Felt most sorry for Dexter but he did great. Love autumn and we are creeping further into my favourite season where the leaves begin to change. Hope you don’t have too intense heat as you move out of winter. Love to you and Laurel ❤

Glad the three of you made it through that heat wave. Dexter’s cool coat is really nice. You two definitely get your exercise with walking. Anthony you are a sweetheart helping those people with the emergency ❤️. Great to see that you are friends with so many Vloggers. Some I recognized, like Heidi, Steve, Caroline and Pete, and several faces that I can’t put a name too at the moment. You are good people!

    What a lovely Vlog as usual. Passing through some beautiful countryside, really relaxing and enjoyable. Glad you three all coped with the extreme heat. Dexter's cool jacket must have really been a god send for him as it was so hard to keep the animals cool for those few days. We have cats and were wiping them down with cold cloths, but cats being cats, I don't think they appreciated it. The bloggers picnic looked like great fun and it was nice to see all the other bloggers, especially Lisa as she really is a breath of fresh air and I love her blogs. You both come across as such genuinely nice thoughtful people and it was very kind of you Anthony to help other people out the way you did and I am sure they appreciated it greatly. Can't wait to catch up with you again on your journey. Best wishes, Louise.

      Hey Louise. We have really been blessed with some of the scenery we get to live in. The heat was testing lol. Poor Dexter, the jacket helped immensely. Lol, the saying cats used to be worshipped as Gods and they never forget it springs to mind. The vlogger’s picnic was great fun. Such a genuinely lovely bunch. We always try and help when we can. Never want to see anyone struggle.

    Naw, poor hot pup.
    You all need a mid sized kiddy’s pool for next summer - at the very least for Dexter to sit in and for you to paddle your tootsies in.
    Just talking about it has me feeling cooler.
    It must be so awful not being used to that kind of heat at all.
    I’m from the east coast of Australia, but I lived in Western Australia for a few years and one summer it was between 38 and 40+ for an ENTIRE MONTH!!
    All these years later and I still remember just how dreadful that was.
    I remember watching the news last year and seeing how hot it was in the UK - just incredible 😳

I have stocked up on water, batteries, and trail bars and now I wait. I have actually been through some quite large hurricanes across the years (and I am looking forward to moving out of Florida when I retire to a place hurricanes never go 😁 (hurricanes are tiresome beasts) ).

      I can only imagine how terrifying they can be so don’t blame you for looking at moving to a non hurricane area when you retire.

    Years back, I invented a way to keep cool without air conditioning.
    Now, this method requires ice cubes, so I hope you have access to them.
    I call my invention, “cooler heads.”
    Fill a zippered sandwich bag about half to 3/4 full of ice cubes, wrap it in a flannel if you want to, and put it on top of your head, with a cap or a hat over it to hold it on.
    Soon after you start it will probably feel like it’s just too cold, but be brave and leave it on. Fairly quickly your scalp will get numb, and that’s when the device really starts working.
    You know, of course, that your blood runs closest to the surface under your scalp. So, as it runs past the ice, it cools way down and cools you off as it circulates through your body.
    It really works!
    I was working as a madrigal singer at a Renaissance Festival and almost had heat stroke, when this idea came to me, and soon all of us were wearing them and singing their praises, excuse the pun!

Some I knew by sight but some I didn't so the introductions helped.
    Glad you survived that terrible heat. I know it was bad for everyone but particularly people and dogs and cats on the boats. Fortunately it was a fairly short time but I'm sure it seemed like forever. It gets hard to function when you can't sleep well. Hope you have a perfect winter.

      Thank you. It was very hot. Dexter didn’t like it bless him. We have seen some amazing nature this year.
      I messaged Heidi the other day. So sad. Bless them. Hope you have a good weekend. ❤️

    Hello again, Coffee, Cake and Dexter! I had a sympathetic headache by the end of the video from how hot it looked in the UK at that time! Good thing I'm currently hiding in an air-conditioned room XD (would you consider installing air-conditioning in your new boat?) Good on the two of you for going out of your way to help your fellow boaters - the world would be a much better place if there were more lovely fellas like youses and Dexter boy! Thanks too, Paul, for those shots of those horrifyingly sinister looking industrial areas hahaha. I certainly would NOT want to be walking through there in the evening! Loving each week's vlog as they all chart how increasingly comfortable you're all getting in front of the camera + the gorgeous nature shots are getting better and better. Hope the week is good and cool for you, take care! xx

      Hello, would love air conditioning but it’s so power hungry although we would have full solar. It would also have to be a box extracted ok the roof of the boat. I cruised past that big factory the other day and hardly noticed it. Filled with water got rid of our rubbish, enjoying the September sunshine. Thanks for your kind comments.
      Have a lovely weekend xx

      Hey. I felt the heat all over again too re watching the vlog lol. We actually did some research into aircon for the new boat but we would need a big vent thing on the roof and a lot of power! We would always help someone if we could. Hate to think of people struggling. I am totally with you re the industrial sites. Hate them.
      Thanks for always being generous with your comments. It really does mean a lot. Take care ❤️

    You’ll have to get an AC installed in the new boat, we don’t have canal boats here but there are lots of RVers who live off grid with Lithium batteries and solar panels as their only power and run an AC at least at night just to be able to sleep in the heat. Maybe if these high temperatures continue people will start using them more there.
    We were hit by hurricane Fiona last week ,fortunately the only damage we had was a few tree limbs. No power or running water for three days and another two with no internet, the kids nearly lost their minds with no tablets , phones or tvs working.🤣😂
    There are places that really got smashed though, houses and docks swept out to sea, others just toothpicks now. 17 dead so far but they are still looking for some missing. We rarely ever got hurricanes here but about 10 years ago the ocean temperature here starting getting hotter and that brought them closer now. This time it was as high as 11 degrees higher than normal and that makes a big difference.
    Take care, stay safe and well. 🙋🏼‍♀️🥰

    I bet you all feel much cooler now the temperature has dropped. . . . It was so draining to be out in the sun. Glad you all had a good gathering with fellow bloggers. . . must have been nice to meet up. Have a lovely week. We are off to the Peak District next week to do some canal walking. Take care.

      Hey Mark. Definitely lovely to be in a cooler climate. The heat was just insufferable. Was lovely to meet up with such a lovely bunch of people. Aww am jealous re the Peak District. We would have loved to be able to get back on the Peak Forest and we had planned to do the Macclesfield this year too. Have a great time. So stunning. Take care ❤️

    Great vlog, a real slice of your canal life! Is your social life now much more busy with you living on a narrowboat than when you owned a house? The picnic looked like great fun, too.

    Not that I'm a foxes fan. But curious as to why you think you don't get the number of views as they do. Your audience is next to nothing.

      Hey Chris,
      We don’t really like to compare ourselves to anyone. No idea why the numbers aren’t more. People seem to like what we create. We don’t have the same subs so the numbers aren’t going to be as much I guess. Ant
