I’ve been watching various RUclips vlogs over the past 4 years. Many have become boring, ‘exhibitionist,’ and/or ‘pedantic.’ Not you…You’ve kept it ‘Fresh enough.’ Good work..
That's good to know. Thanks for the feedback 🫡😉🫵👍
It was great to catch up with you Will. Safe travels on the Lankie. Jenny, Trev and Ralf ❤
Hello guys. Nice to see you. Take care. 👍
What fun you all had good you want to spend the time with the grandchildren i thank gid for my grandparents they brought me up from months old till i was 14 then nan died and my mom n dad had to have me bk what hell that was enjoy time with them will made u all happy tc the okdies👍👍👍👍👍
I know how you feel. My mum left us with my father who then died. We found him on the floor. After that it was a mess.
Thank you for stopping by guys. 👍👍👍
Hi will what a interesting video from you..I'm surprised that you have never made this Ribble link crossing before..
What I would like to say is that you are right about your family and being part of Thier lives is important to you and them..
Far to many people are alone .. looking out of Thier window hoping that Thier family will visit them. Unfortunately they try and make all sorts of excuses for them when they live a few bus stops away from them..many have never seen their grandchildren .let alone spoken to them.. it's very sad to see mate.
Anyway I am so glad that this is not the case with your family.for this I take my hat off to you and your family members.
It's so important to be part of each others lives. .
As many people have found out . once they are old and Thier families don't bother with them .I have always believed that what goes around comes around...
Anyway will keep smiling mate summer is here.and things can only get better.👍👍👍.
Thank you, Wayne. I'm very lucky and I don't waste opportunities to see them when possible. I don't watch any news or mainstream TV.. I just makes me feel sad.
Anyway, have a good day. 👍
Will, that looked like a lot of fun jumping with the grand boy and son. Enjoyed your vlog. Take care. Janet
It was great fun, but I needed a rest after. 😴 🤣🤣🤣
Good to see your soapy thumb up after giving Mr. Van a proper scrub. Engine service and checks - done! Will is a well deserved happy and satisfied cruiser.❤
🤣🤣🤣 soapy thumbs up. Thanks for joining me Umberto. 👍👍
Great vlog again Will 👍🏻 well said about the grandkids 👍🏻 hope you have a great Bank holiday ☀️🎧👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers again, Mark. I've just been to my first carboot with them this morning. At last, some 🌞 ☀️ 🌤 🌅.
I hope you have seen the larest video about cruising the Ribble Link. It's very informative! Andy
I watched a country house gent do the link.
Thanks Andy..👍👍
Do you use an additive for diesel bug (I don’t and never have had a problem) but I’m thinking I should !!!!!!
I do because I had water in my tank and diesel bug. Thanks for watching..
Most entertaining vids on RUclips. We will be driving through Rufford tomorrow (Monday) en route to the steam railway at Hesketh Bank near Tarlton, taking youngest grandson. Hope to shake hands with you one day Will. Stay safe on that crossing.
That steam fair sounds really interesting Phil. I hope you find a bouncy castle and take your grandson on it. 🤣🤣🤣
Take care buddy. 👍
Good on ya Will....keeping it Real.
Thanks Matt. 👍
Your engine looks very well looked after, great work 👍
How come we didn’t see any ballet moves at the trampoline park ? Really disappointed 😂😂
👍👍
🤣🤣🤣 my ballet is out of shape at the moment.
My engine is my friend. Until it breaks. 🤣🤣🤣
Great vlog thanks a million
You're very welcome.
Will, I'm in a good place in my life, but I gotta tell you that you and Heidi really nudge the Happy Meter over to 11.
Keep the vlogs coming!
😂 good old Heidi. Thanks, Glenn. 👍
Blue things and orbs in the sky are sooo strange. Really rare and we must worship them 😂😂😂
Agreed..🤣
Will get a dog ,nice trampo jumps.
I've got grand kids. 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Will. That was quite a varied topic video. Good to stay young in your mind and smile, even when parts don't fit! And the family side of it now you are back "oop north". Looks like we have a run of dry mild weather finally so I can get back to my garden project-year 3 !!😂😂. Take care. Regards. Paul.
Hello Paul. You should be on next vlog.
At last some dry weather mate. Get your fumbs filfy. 🤣🤣
Act your shoe size, not your age 👍😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 exactly.
Thank god the weather has finally improved was getting cabin fever myself with all the bloody rain it was incessant! ⛈🌧☔😎🌅🌞😃 Loved the little tissue trick will store that away in the grey matter for future use.
I know what you mean Tim. The sun's out with no wind and my first carboot under my belt this morning. Yey! Stuff I don't need but was cheap. 🤣🤣
My mum used to say “you’ll get a rude awakening when you grow up “ luckily I never did 😂like the new tricycle-Will T Wilderbeast 😂lts’s a pity the boat engine is under engineered due to production costs probably.Just as well you checked it 👍
Those alternators are a real design flaw. I've spoken to other beta owners with the same problem.
Thanks for stopping by. 👍
🐾P.S. love the music
Ahhhh thanks Kat. ❤️❤️
I have an original Homestake multi tool. They made them themselves for the maintenance crews underground. It is a crescent wrench with a hammerhead. They were pissed that they bought so many wrenches only to have them used as hammers and destroying the jaw guide-way on the wrench. They also made grenade bodies in their foundry for both world wars, which I just found one mowing in the opencut in Lead. YES!!! A full body not a partial one that you usually find.
Wow! That's an amazing find. That wrench sounds perfect. I hit things with my wrench, too.🤣🤣
Hey there Will as a 65 year old father of 5,and grandfather to 9 , I also reflect on my parenting choices when my kids were growing up. Having more time to observe the big picture we usually make better choices now than when we were younger and caught up with trying to surpass our parents. I guess that’s our way of trying to make things better for our family.😊
I think I'd be a better parent now I've calmed down a bit. 🤣🤣
Thanks, I think I needed to hear some of this today.
You're welcome Roger. 😊
looks like you were having fun on those trampolines lol , ive not been on one of those since i was at school, a long time ago 😮, nice to see mr bluebird looking clean , i bet he was really waggling his towbar . 😅😅
🤣🤣🤣 it was great fun. It's nice spending time with family. Mr van has been getting a lot of attention lately. 😉👍🤣
Thanks for stopping by. 👍
Great blog will well we are always better with grand kids than are children all men are same ya told you that blue paper would work save so much time glad it helped
That paper trick helped a treat. Thanks for the tip. 😉
I'm a better grand parent than I was a parent, I feel.👍👍
I wish I understood engines… my dad was a marine engineer… but I never took any notice 🤷♀️ he just fixed my car… I just lifted the bonnet on my car … but I’ve no idea what I’m looking at 😂🤷♀️ fab video… yes grandkids are a joy! 😊
I've got no choice on my income. I learn or lose out too expensive marinas.
Thanks for your honest comment. 👍
@@NarrowboatWill yep… necessity is the mother of invention… i think it may be a generational thing… my dad was of the generation where he didn’t think girls had to know stuff about fixing engines… the 70s 😂👍
Great vlog. Will Can't wait to see you on the other side of the river awesome..
I'm glad to see that you used the paper trick with the dipstick. It's a good one that I showed you 👍 have a fantastic time up the Lancaster 👍👍
Hello Mark. That was a good tip. Cheers. In my next vlog, I get to the end of the canal, but I don't go over yet. That's the Sunday vlog. Have a good day. 👍
@NarrowboatWill cheers, Will . I can't wait to see it mate 👍👍👍
GG says woof. Love the intro
Thanks Kat. GG....How fast do cats go. Mmeeeeeeeoooooowwwwww fast.
Thanks for sharing a part of yourself, Will! It's good to let your Inner Child out to play. It helps you to stay younger when you play, Even if you think it's silly. Being silly helps make life easier to bear.
Totally agree with you. I did sleep well that night. 🤣🤣🤣
What a nice couple you got talking to. Nice to see you making the most of those trampolines, great memories for the grandkids! 😄
I hope you remembered to wash the Lambo after washing Mr. Van, but I'm glad you didn't film it, otherwise we might have got well jel 😂
🤣🤣🤣 I keep my lambo secret.
Luckily, I didn't break anything bouncing around. I did sleep well. 😴
Lovely vlog Will great to see you having fun with the grand kids. Have a safe Journey. Xx
Will do Caroline. Thanks 👍
Bless that couple, yur no 1 fans!! 😄 Sad they not still on the water.👍👍
I meet so many lovely people. 😍
Nice one Will, just got back to the UK (well, I think it’s the UK) 🇬🇧 It’s great though Will, children are life’s only true wealth, I’m over 60 and I treat each new year as my last. I train everyday and can still do all the things I could do, and then some, when I was a teenager. Only thing is, it takes a little longer to recover. Being there for family is vitally important, particularly in these crazy weird times we’re living. Filthy thumbs 👍🏼 up mate … heading off on my own boat now, all checks done, Trent & Mersey down to Derwent Mouth for starters, then where, I do not know.
Thank you so much.
Sounds like you're living a full life. That's how it should be. Every day is a blessing.
I hope you have a safe trip. 👍👍
@@NarrowboatWill I guess by the time you see this you should be linked! Thanks Will, officially the only channel I look forwards to now!
