I upvote The Mindful Narrowboat channel for having unique and calming aesthetics unlike any other RUclips channel. I've watched numerous channels where others exhibit masterful craftsmanship or cleverness or sharing their opinions or analysis. Vanessa's productions always win us over with her peaceful reflection and appreciation for the natural world surrounding us.
I made the decision at the beginning that I wouldn’t have adverts in the middle because I wanted to make it a relaxing watch. Thank you for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
“… nothing was hit, and nothing was sinking” has to be the quote of the week 😂😂. You’ve made a lovely advert for Yorkshire, and I want to go there now. You make the best videos and are in danger of becoming a National Treasure.
Lovely, subtle shading you did on your goose sketch, Vanessa - that's not easy to get right, especially drawing on white paper. Also brill to hear you quoting Ted Hughes - what a fine poet he was. I especially love his animal poetry - like you, he was acutely aware of, and grateful for the wonders of Mother Nature. On my wall, I painted a quote from Ted Hughes, which is from a letter he wrote to his son, who was finding it hard to come to terms with the suicide of his mother, Sylvia Plath. Ted wrote to him - 'Live your life like a mighty river.' I love this quote, because rivers never stand still, do they? They never flow backwards - they just keep on heading towards the sea, which is their destiny.
I agree! It would make a good children's storybook and certainly Vanessa would make a wonderful illustrator as well! I can easily see it being published and sold in that particular town as a souvenir, but elsewhere as well! A great way to boost tourism for the town and also Vanessa's income, presence in the art world and her channel. A win-win, from a practical side- but a lovely way for children to learn about the geese as well. Altogether I think it's a fine idea- to make a book from this little foray.
I love how you find beauty and joy in all of the little things, and it is a good reminder for me to be more mindful. Sometimes stepping outside and it seems as if all is still and nothing is happening. But if I stop and breathe and watch, there is so much! That comment about it feeling like Narnia... That magic is all around us all the time and we just have to stop and see it. It IS the small things in life. And your gratitude is a key piece. Thank you for sharing your journey.
What a beautiful comment, Chris- thank you so much 😊 You are so right and I remind myself of this daily too. Sometimes, I make myself sit and look at a flower or hedgerow for a while and every time, I will discover something interesting living there. Thank you for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
I have been watching your channel for a while now and realized I have never commented. Now is the time to rectify that as I do enjoy your videos so much. Such a good mix of the history where you are, the beauty of the canals as well as the dangers and the nature. There isn't another narrowboat channel that covers the nature the way you do. I just thoroughly enjoy each and every video. Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us! Oh, and I can't wait to receive my order, I bought the books and calendar at the end of last month, so very excited🙂
Hello, Elizabeth! How lovely to read your comment. I am so pleased that you are enjoying the vlogs and nature. Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
Vanessa, you should be knighted a Dame of the Realm for all the peace and joy you bring to your viewers. Zephyr could be a Demi Dame for all of her antics, especially finding missing geese. Thank you for taking us on such a magical journey!!
Spent 27 years operating and maintaining a wastewater plant. Wastewater plants are one of the primary methods with which we keep humanity healthy. Loved this video with the wonderful hike. The wind sounds the same there as it does here in California. Just a lovely place. I'm always impressed with your piloting skills and this episode it was working around the downed tree. Excellent. Keep up the good work. Good goose sleuthing.
So pleased to see that the weather has been kinder to Alice Grace and her crew this week x what a beautiful place, ‘even the sewage works are beautiful!’ Vanessa you are brilliant! Thank you for another beautiful vlog ❤🐾
Zeph on the beach is the epitome of joy. I've had many dogs, usually two at a time, and there's nothing like a dog finding sand to dig in, or something that smells wonderful on the beach, the stinkier the better, to trigger that kind of joy. It's contagious, and I'm liable to catch it too.
Vanessa, you should definitely begin a series of children's books, in the vein of Charlotte's Web. You have the spirit, the mind and artistic talent to make them every bit as magical. I can see the cover for this one now... "The Tale of Officer Goose and Gander" by The Lady of the Waterways. You and Zeph could have a Sherlock and Watson kind of thing going on, as you explore the waterways and report on the various goings on. With your eye for detail, you could bring all kinds of bugs and things into each story, and bring nature to life for children. It would be wonderful, you would do a superb job, and I can easily see these becoming a huge success!
What a kind comment! When I first moved onboard, I wrote a little book about Zephyr and my mother-in-law did the illustrations for it, but I don’t think I wrote it well enough. It was wonderful to write it though. Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
@@themindfulnarrowboat I don't think you give yourself enough credit. You're actually quite good at what you do; much better than average. I'd be willing to be your editor/suggester, and we could set up a liaison if you like. You don't have to say yes right now, just give it some thought. I'm telling you, everything about you and your lifestyle is perfect for this. You already have all the right ingredients!
Lived in Huddersfield 1971 to 1973, what a landscape in West Yorkshire ! Hebden Bridge railway station still had a water pumping engine for the steam locomotives. Wonderful memories! John.
Beautiful! This video is a little jewel! Thanks for sharing...such an uplift for so many . Blessings from Vancouver Island, British Columbia...keep your light shining bright!
Hi - I mostly come to youtube for workshop videos, but I really enjoy your narrowboat adventures. My wife and I really like your look around the wildlife. Living on a Narrowboat is a long time pipedream. It will never happen, but I like seeing what it involves, and the scenery of the old country. I bought one of your 2025 calendars as a gift for my wife, the artwork is tremendous. Thanks and best wishes.
That local history along the canal was very interesting to watch. I also loved the detective story near the end of the Vlog. That was very entertaining too. Please take care as Storm Darragh hits the UK over this weekend.
Hi Vanessa wonderful discovery of the beach high up hidden in a mountain hill that is amazing the goose were lovely and may you be ok as we have an other weather warming for this week end
If I ever came to England (which won't happen as I'm terrified of flying) I would not go to London and all of the tourist spots. I would want to go to places like this. Lol I loved teaching, your outlook of finding fairy tales and stories in places are similar to mine and what I love doing is making up stories for my grandsons (4 & 2) and making them into little books for them. Always the teacher =-) I'm pleased you are getting some relax time and hopefully the sock stayed at the beach .... there's a story there =-) Take care as always.
@@lorrainerichardson3280 Doh ! Sorry!! Good morning? I have fortunately been to Hebden Bridge and it is indeed very beautiful and picturesque.....but not sure if it's as picturesque as New Zealand. Enjoy your weekend.
The landscape there is amazing! The water runoff coming down from the mountains forming cascades in some areas, and other parts actually are built guiding the water down! What a beautiful sight! Yes, you deserve a more relaxed day of navigation. I showed my mother the hardships and dangerous adventures of the last blog, she was amazed at your talent and ability to keep calm in such situations!
It was so much calmer and relaxing this week, but a storm is arriving overnight! Say hi to your mother from me. Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
what a great story, thank you for showing us your travels, so lovely to follow. the beach, the geese, the music, my dog watches Zephyr and when i said look at that ball !she went and got hers.!🤗 really appreciate your vlogs, thank you so much.
wow, just relaxing a few mins thinking how wonderful your vlog was and the counter shot up another 1000....to 8k already...you sooooo deserve it, this was spectacular, as were all the others....and all so different....each a wonderful experience...ps I think Zeph just showed us how to create inexpensive dog toys!!!...and 12 mins later over another 1000 added, fun to think how many of us are watching together even though I thought I sat down alone to watch this as 'my' weekend treat [!]....
I am so touched that people tune in to watch the vlogs and viewers like you, Mary return too. Zephyr really has shown us all how exciting socks can be! 😂🐾🐾Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
So glad that Constable Zephyr solved the case and all geese were returned unharmed. A lovely story. That lock, being able to open the gates, reminds me of when I used to live near the Grand Union when it was still a working canal. The old boatmen used to use the barges bows to open the gates and the thrust from the prop to close them. The barge hardly stopped, it was fantastic to see.
Ah, and calmness resumes ! The scenery was beautiful Vanessa. That beach must be a place to relax in the summer, once you have climbed the hill that is. Loved the story of the geese. Thanks for posting.
First of all you've beat us this week with the biscuits , that was a great goose story, local's saved the water and beach well done to them, you had a great cruise to share this week, nature at its best again. All the best Gary n Irene
@@themindfulnarrowboat we both well thank you for asking, Irene would like the biscuits but sadly I just don't do nuts or nut flavour. You both have a grand weekend too.
I woke with a nasty cold then remembered it’s Friday. So before doing anything else I sat down with my favorite comfort breakfast of coffee bagel and cream cheese and my favorite vlog. Thank you for your healing “cold medicine.” Zephyr is so easily pleased. She took such a delight in finding an old sock! And now we learn she is an accomplished detective as well. Will we be hearing more tales about DCI Zepher? Such a wonderful side kick you have. Also loved the more muted colors of the late fall hill country, just like we are experiencing here in the Pacific Northwest corner of the US.
Vanessa, I’d bring an apple 🍎 in for Miss every day. This is my favourite lesson of the week 😊. Away from the bricks and the tarmac what amazing beauty. Please keep finding these hidden treasures. Thank you 😃
Looked like a calm and relaxed trip, hope so anyway! I always enjoy the footage and details of 'flora and fauna' on your journeys. The appreciation of and respect for the natural world is there for us all to see and admire. The story about the Geese was eggcellent! Yeah, I know, sorry, I'll get my coat! 🤣 I assume that they are kind of celebrities in Hebden Bridge, so looked out for, as far as is possible.......? Take care all.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful video. What a lovely trip on the canal. Great the residents purchased the beach to save it. Have a wonderful weekend. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia.
It is a heartwarming thing to hear about communities like that coming together to save something isn’t it? Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
A treasure trove of surprises. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute! I had to laugh when you got to that scramble section. I hate that when one gets the top of one section, then there's another bit and another bit. 😄 Such is life. We get there in the end. ❤
What do you have a tranquil landscape and off course a lovely dog, scanning the water… Always a strange thing, goose swimming in a row… Thanks again sharing your stories, well appreciated!
We're lucky to have you bring us along these English canals. You capture the beauty so completely and present it so well. Each week is a segment worth looking forward to. Thanks so much.
I’m so happy to see another video from you. I love watching them in the morning with my coffee. It puts me in a very peaceful place for the rest of my day. Don….Toledo, Ohio USA
❤ Vanessa your story with Zephyr was so cute. I thought maybe the migrants might’ve got the birds but so happy to find out they were just eating salad in the town… The sock is really funny too, my daughter Sydney and I were taking a walk in the Norman Rockwell town they grew up in Silverton Oregon… And all the sudden my daughter goes mom, theres’s a dead sock in the road! It was hilarious so we laughed about it for years. I love to guess what you’re going to draw and I’m actually 99.9% right on although this time I thought you might add the red lycan as well but you did do the spider with a beautiful goose. Blessings all over you look forward to next week
Absolutely marvelous ! I have truly enjoyed your content for many months and found this episode to be exceptional. Thank you for the peaceful joy you bring, the wonders you explore and the love you share. You and your trusty companion deliver charm filled inspiration for us all…
That was (is) beautiful , so magical & fun. You were really expressing the mystical & mythical charm of this stunning area, caught in its web of lovely spells. Thankyou.
Lovely stress busting and calm presentation, scenery gorgeous, a walk with Zeph what could be better, thank you as always for sharing the trip. BR Charlie
Really enjoyed this episode, the way you talk about the nature round you. Take care of the weather this weekend, batten down the hatches and keep warm. ❤❤xx
Thank you for such a winter filled adventure in the cool weather, rain and geese❤❤ I absolutely love your creative self. Happy the outer environment calmed down for you. Xx
You're in my part of the world today. I'm glad you enjoyed it and found so much beauty. You found my friend the Muscovy Duck at Eastwood; very handsome. And the wonderful cackling geese. And the sun shone as you passed Callis Bridge. Enjoy Hebden Bridge.
A prodigious proliferation of puns, and the always enjoyable soothing narrative describing the gorgeous images! A beach, a Zeph, a gaggle of Geese and a whistling kettle!! I can only hope to keep this positive vibe going for the rest of the day! As always,.... Thanks so much for the time, effort and talent that you put towards our entertainment. Sincerely, Rick C
👏🏻Adventurous Vanessa enjoying your latest video a wonderful production you've created i am always intrigued how informative you are with narrative along the waterways with such rich history adding your humor & smile😁, your admiration of nature, a wonderful artists drawing nature's wonders along with beautiful words written down keeping a journal of your adventurous life🙂 Thanks you for sharing your adventures with us all Safe travels
Well young lady, that was really delightful to watch. I so admire you for your ability to see the hidden beauty of this marvellous world we live in. I am an expat and really miss this England. Your portrayal of the countryside, and the splendid people that you meet, is indeed a pleasure to behold. Well done, and keep them coming. I look forward to each and every one of them. Very best wishes from a wet, windy and quite cold Germany.
Wonderful the only person to make even a sewerage farm look appealing. What I really love is your tea making, and the sounds that caress the senses, one biscuit or two today. I'm ready for bed drifting off to your poetry. Thank you

@@themindfulnarrowboatthank you….❤️
Zephyr was so proud of herself for finding a sock. She looked positively affronted when you suggested leaving it on the beach.
It was like Christmas had come early for her wasn’t it!😂🐾🐾 Thank you for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
“… nothing was hit, and nothing was sinking” has to be the quote of the week 😂😂. You’ve made a lovely advert for Yorkshire, and I want to go there now. You make the best videos and are in danger of becoming a National Treasure.
I’m originally from Yorkshire so biased but you can see why we all call it gods own country.

Hello, fabulous beach. Nice little climb. Take care 🌻🦋
Thank you for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
What a truly amazing day and now....kettle's on❤
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
Great episode what a wonderful place,the 6 Geese and Zephyr stole the show today 🙂
The six geese and Zephyr have been amazing company! Thank you for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
So glad that Constable Zephyr solved the case and all geese were returned unharmed. A lovely story.
That lock, being able to open the gates, reminds me of when I used to live near the Grand Union when it was still a working canal. The old boatmen used to use the barges bows to open the gates and the thrust from the prop to close them. The barge hardly stopped, it was fantastic to see.
That must have been an incredible sight to see!🤩 Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
Ah, and calmness resumes ! The scenery was beautiful Vanessa. That beach must be a place to relax in the summer, once you have climbed the hill that is. Loved the story of the geese. Thanks for posting.
I couldn’t believe that beach way up there! Beautiful! 😍 Thank you for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
A truly inspiring vlog. Thank you for showing and naming the flora and fauna.
You are so welcome🤗 Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
First of all you've beat us this week with the biscuits , that was a great goose story, local's saved the water and beach well done to them, you had a great cruise to share this week, nature at its best again. All the best Gary n Irene
They were delicious biscuits as they had a hazelnut spread centre! 😋 I hope you are both well? Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
@@themindfulnarrowboat we both well thank you for asking, Irene would like the biscuits but sadly I just don't do nuts or nut flavour. You both have a grand weekend too.
I was amused by your little goosey tale as you took a gander around!
😂 Very good! 👍 I like what you did there! Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
I woke with a nasty cold then remembered it’s Friday. So before doing anything else I sat down with my favorite comfort breakfast of coffee bagel and cream cheese and my favorite vlog. Thank you for your healing “cold medicine.” Zephyr is so easily pleased. She took such a delight in finding an old sock! And now we learn she is an accomplished detective as well. Will we be hearing more tales about DCI Zepher? Such a wonderful side kick you have. Also loved the more muted colors of the late fall hill country, just like we are experiencing here in the Pacific Northwest corner of the US.
I hope you recover from your cold very soon. Keep up the vitamin C! Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
Vanessa, I’d bring an apple 🍎 in for Miss every day. This is my favourite lesson of the week 😊. Away from the bricks and the tarmac what amazing beauty. Please keep finding these hidden treasures. Thank you 😃
What a kind and star pupil you would be! 🤩 Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
A nice story within a story. I am not watching the last bit as you get the biscuits out, I get hungry. No drama for you, a very pleasant video.
Looked like a calm and relaxed trip, hope so anyway! I always enjoy the footage and details of 'flora and fauna' on your journeys. The appreciation of and respect for the natural world is there for us all to see and admire.
The story about the Geese was eggcellent! Yeah, I know, sorry, I'll get my coat! 🤣
I assume that they are kind of celebrities in Hebden Bridge, so looked out for, as far as is possible.......?
Take care all.
If you’re getting your coat, then I’ll have to get mine too! 😂😂😂 Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment too. Take care 🦋🌻
The Geese were stars, hope they stay safe...🤞🏻
Thank you for sharing your wonderful video. What a lovely trip on the canal. Great the residents purchased the beach to save it. Have a wonderful weekend. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia.
It is a heartwarming thing to hear about communities like that coming together to save something isn’t it? Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
I really loved the trumpet nose slug. Magnificent beach⛱️.
It did have a trumpet nose didn’t it! What a great name for a slug too! 🥰 Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
A treasure trove of surprises. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute!
I had to laugh when you got to that scramble section. I hate that when one gets the top of one section, then there's another bit and another bit. 😄 Such is life. We get there in the end. ❤
It was a tough climb to the top of the beach but so worth it! 😂Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
What do you have a tranquil landscape and off course a lovely dog, scanning the water…
Always a strange thing, goose swimming in a row…
Thanks again sharing your stories, well appreciated!
You are so welcome 🤗 Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
Stunning.
That’s so kind of you. Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
We're lucky to have you bring us along these English canals. You capture the beauty so completely and present it so well. Each week is a segment worth looking forward to. Thanks so much.
What a kind comment. I am lucky that you want to watch and come along each week too. Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
Zephyr is such a charmer, she has such personality ❤
The Goose story and investigation was just adorable!!
Blessings

She really did! Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
I’m so happy to see another video from you. I love watching them in the morning with my coffee. It puts me in a very peaceful place for the rest of my day. Don….Toledo, Ohio USA
I’m so pleased you find them relaxing. Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
❤ Vanessa your story with Zephyr was so cute. I thought maybe the migrants might’ve got the birds but so happy to find out they were just eating salad in the town… The sock is really funny too, my daughter Sydney and I were taking a walk in the Norman Rockwell town they grew up in Silverton Oregon… And all the sudden my daughter goes mom, theres’s a dead sock in the road! It was hilarious so we laughed about it for years. I love to guess what you’re going to draw and I’m actually 99.9% right on although this time I thought you might add the red lycan as well but you did do the spider with a beautiful goose. Blessings all over you look forward to next week
A dead sock! 😂😂😂 That is funny! Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻

You're in my part of the world today. I'm glad you enjoyed it and found so much beauty. You found my friend the Muscovy Duck at Eastwood; very handsome. And the wonderful cackling geese. And the sun shone as you passed Callis Bridge. Enjoy Hebden Bridge.
The Muscovy Duck was beautiful and so friendly! Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
Such peaceful videos and gorgeous to see my beautiful home county again.
It is a stunning part of the world! Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
A prodigious proliferation of puns, and the always enjoyable soothing narrative describing the gorgeous images!
A beach, a Zeph, a gaggle of Geese and a whistling kettle!! I can only hope to keep this positive vibe going for the rest of the day!
As always,....
Thanks so much for the time, effort and talent that you put towards our entertainment.

Well young lady, that was really delightful to watch. I so admire you for your ability to see the hidden beauty of this marvellous world we live in. I am an expat and really miss this England. Your portrayal of the countryside, and the splendid people that you meet, is indeed a pleasure to behold. Well done, and keep them coming. I look forward to each and every one of them. Very best wishes from a wet, windy and quite cold Germany.
It is very wet and windy here too! I’m so pleased that you are enjoying the vlogs. Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
You certainly topped the other boaters by showing the sewage works instead of a measly cassette being emptied 😂A very punny vlog 😂and much enjoyed.
Thank you so much, Anthony! Have a super weekend. Take care 🦋🌻
Beautiful,funny,informative & a dog....What more could you ask for,thanks Vanessa ❤

Wonderful the only person to make even a sewerage farm look appealing. What I really love is your tea making, and the sounds that caress the senses, one biscuit or two today. I'm ready for bed drifting off to your poetry. Thank you
Sleep well! 😴 Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
