It was wonderful to see your wee ones being happy and content. It was more splendid to share in your delight of the time they spent with you. That said, I get the stuff about safeguarding. Don't beat yourself up, well done for hearing their other parent and thank you for putting them first. xx
Hi James, it was a lovely and sweet video with the kids on the boat, but in this sad world an understandable reaction from their mother. Keep up the entertaining videos and don’t let it get you down, you still have the videos and can cherish them in years to come.
Good on you for your innocence of what could happen, it shows me that you've got a good heart. Hold those precious kids close and enjoy watching them grow up. It passes all to quickly. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the re-upload! Can understand why the kid's mom might be concerned, there's idiots everywhere online it seems. But hopefully you kept the original video for the kids to look at when they get older!
Yes I did and I’m sure there’ll be loads more times of them on the boat so it’ll naturally become easier. This was their first time and she was naturally concerned. Will all be fine though mate 👌🏼
Love the paint colours on your Swan neck.....looks really good. Nice to see the London waterway and the shots of Grenfell tower. The boat is really making great progress and no wonder it was a great adventure for your little ones. Stay safe
Thank goodness for that. I thought I was going mad! We have been away for a few days, London, we looked out for you but didn't see you 😂😂😂 I was sure that there was a new video and couldn't understand why I couldn't find it 😀
As I didn't see V1 of the video, I can't comment on it nor will I attempt to, Sloe Patrol is coming along nicely, hopefully won't be long before she is back on the canal. I do really like what you have done to the tiller James, the colours really set it off. Looking forward to the next vlog, doesn't matter when it is, I know you are busy with work and family. Stay safe
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt meant to say, I know you're talking about hooking up more batteries, but I think you could start a disco whenever you fill the kettle, certainly a feature and talking point 😉🤣
I can relate to your situation. Been there, done that. Even with the best of intentions, it's easy for significant others to get upset. Who can blame a dad who is rightly proud of his kids?
Its one thing to be proud of your kids...its another to expose them to the cesspool that is youtube. Glad Mum put her foot down...seems like a good mum to me.
Mom was right here, I am normally in favour of fathers. It's a sad reflection on society in general and I do not doubt daddies motives in the slightest.
Difficult situation but don’t let it get you down. I’m sure she had her only motherly reasoning and most important detail is kids enjoyed the paintwork so when you able you can all enjoy boat on the water 😊 happy boating. Stripes remind me of refresher sweets
I certainly agree with MUM... As I watched yesterday your two little girls, I thought it was a mistake, though it was done in all innocence on your part. Mum is right, images of children on the internet should not be so close up. I hope mum is not too harsh with you,, Good to see the finishing touches it's all coming along great, the paint job is brill...
Cheers Tony - I of course do agree with her and would never go against her wishes with things like this. Yes she’s harsh, but that’s just her middle name !!
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt Her middle name lol... I wonder what your middle name is coming from her... Still, the best of relationships can become sour but that can change again too in time. Stay friends the two of you for your kids sake if nothing else..
Well done James. Its a sad world we live in where you get punished for being proud of your children. Hopefully they enjoyed their stay. Keep the quality content coming mate, can't wait to see her floating again
It's a shame, but I'm in agreement with Mum. Kids should be kept away from "soshul meeja" for as long as possible. It's a toxic environment at the best of times. Besides, you can remind her of this day, when she posts pictures of them all over her Facebork. ;o) All the best, mate.
Its a sad world we live in. Cant even take pictures of your own kids on sports day at school now. Your ex has the right to want the video taken down and we should all respect her wishes. I watched the whole video again just for your analytics. Keep up the good work
thought it might have been something like that when it disappeared ,unfortunately that is the sick type of world we live in today ,its such a shame as you and the kids were obviously enjoying your time together
Momma bears can take your head off if they think there cubs have any chance of being in danger. It's sad the amount of perverts and sickos there are. Hang in there the boat is looking great.
CAPITALS DUE TO PARTIAL SIGHT ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO THERE WAS ALLEGATION MADE THAT I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN LOOKING AT INAPPROPRIATE PICTURES OF CHILDREN. AT THE TIME I WAS IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH WOMAN WHO HAD CHILDREN. I ALSO WAS A CARER IN A RESIDENTIAL HOME. THANKFULLY THOSE THAT KNEW ME DIDN’T BELIVE THE ALLEGATIONS.. MY EMPLOYERS HAD KNOWN ME FOR 30 YEARS. I WAS UNABLE TO FIND WHO HAD STARTED THE ALLEGATIONS OR THE REASON WHY. THIS HAS LEFT ME UNABLE TO TALK WITH CHILDREN OR BE IN THEIR COMPANY. I LIVE NEAR A LOVELY PARK BUT I AVOID WALKING IN ON MY OWN. I USE A WHITE CAN AND I IMAGINE THE POSSIBLE THOUGHTS OF PARENTS. ‘PRETENDING TO BE BLIND SO HE CAN STARE AT CHILDREN’. AS A RESULT OF MY RAMBLINGS I HAD TO TURN OF YOUR VIDEO. I’M KNOW WATCHING THE EDITED VERSION. PLEASE DON’T READ MY COMMENTS AS CRITICISM. THANKS MICHAEL
I sympathize James, a lot of us have been in your situation. When I saw the first version I really thought it was brilliant to see your family, but at the same time I thought that you would be in trouble. I get it, I understand both sides. I see you are so proud of your girls, and you should be. Hang on in there mate, your situation is never easy. I hope their mum calms down and it doesn't cause any more trouble.
James, I fully understand you editing out your lovely children.....now if you could possibly edit out yourself and alter your vocal.....oh, and find somebody else boat to work on all will be fine!! ( You did the right thing!!)
it is difficult. My children don't allow images of my grandchildren on the interweb. It is what it is. I saw the original and share your happiness at how it all went for you. I won't comment at all on the now deleted images.
I’ve been in the same situation. Truth is mum is wrong. Wouldn’t like to speculate too much into the reasoning or possible hypocrisy, but she is. Everyone’s a simp for women’s ‘feelings/opinions’ though and don’t like to hear that. Oh and don’t get me into the fact that schools and nurseries have permission to publish kids photos online anyway... 🤷😝
Well I agree with that too. Truth is, like everything I have to pick my battles. Certainly can’t take them all on. This was the path of least resistance for the moment but in time they are part of my life on the boat which will be filmed so watch this space I guess.
I think its very sad that you had to take down the original vlog. I know we live in strange times but your girls were obviously enjoying themselves and we shouldn't let fear of a minority dictate our lives. My son also stopped me putting pictures of my little granddaughter who I'm incredibly proud of on Facebook. It's a very sad world we live in. On a positive note the guitar music is brilliant we could do with more of that.... Keep up the good work.
Agreed it’s a sad situation. But now parents can’t even take recordings of nativity plays at school. I guess at end of day it’s about mum feeling comfortable and if that means editing vlog then correct thing to do. We know most important detail that children enjoyed dads new boat 😊
It was wonderful to see your wee ones being happy and content. It was more splendid to share in your delight of the time they spent with you. That said, I get the stuff about safeguarding. Don't beat yourself up, well done for hearing their other parent and thank you for putting them first. xx
Always.
Thanks 👍🏼

Keep the video--lesson learned, but the kids will love seeing it in the fullness of time. Love to see the posh tiller with the extension on.

@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt Keep the kids out of it James...please don't do it again.
Love the paint colours on your Swan neck.....looks really good. Nice to see the London waterway and the shots of Grenfell tower. The boat is really making great progress and no wonder it was a great adventure for your little ones. Stay safe
Thanks Caroline - yes it’s slowly getting there - one paint strip at a time
Thank goodness for that. I thought I was going mad! We have been away for a few days, London, we looked out for you but didn't see you 😂😂😂
I was sure that there was a new video and couldn't understand why I couldn't find it 😀
Oh good - hopefully all is explained now.
How was London - quite busy isn’t it ??!!
As I didn't see V1 of the video, I can't comment on it nor will I attempt to, Sloe Patrol is coming along nicely, hopefully won't be long before she is back on the canal.

Thanks Pete - all is looking and feeling like it’s getting closer to a proper Narrowboat. I’ll be back there tomorrow 👍🏼
Well done James with the re-edit etc, difficult situation. The boats looking really good, looking forward to seeing her back in the water.
Thanks 👍🏼

Thank you mate.
I should have called the boat “between a rock and hard place”. We’ll sort it out sometime somehow 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Its one thing to be proud of your kids...its another to expose them to the cesspool that is youtube. Glad Mum put her foot down...seems like a good mum to me.
Love the way you played the Grenfell song, Bridge over troubled water, after showing the tower block in this video.
Mom was right here, I am normally in favour of fathers. It's a sad reflection on society in general and I do not doubt daddies motives in the slightest.
Yes it seems she was !!
When is the merch coming out with "bloody dogs" on the front. 😆
I’m trying to get dad to play “who let the dogs out” but I can’t recall one musical note in that song. 🤣
Difficult situation but don’t let it get you down. I’m sure she had her only motherly reasoning and most important detail is kids enjoyed the paintwork so when you able you can all enjoy boat on the water 😊 happy boating.
Stripes remind me of refresher sweets
My 2 are in their 20's now so we didn't have this dilema back in the day. I guess I can see their Mums point though. Boat is coming along good.
Yes modern day issues - damn technology !!
I certainly agree with MUM... As I watched yesterday your two little girls, I thought it was a mistake, though it was done in all innocence on your part.

It's a shame, but I'm in agreement with Mum. Kids should be kept away from "soshul meeja" for as long as possible. It's a toxic environment at the best of times.
Besides, you can remind her of this day, when she posts pictures of them all over her Facebork. ;o)

I totally agree mate. FB exactly that - It’s the double standards I’m not in agreement with 🙄
Its a sad world we live in. Cant even take pictures of your own kids on sports day at school now. Your ex has the right to want the video taken down and we should all respect her wishes. I watched the whole video again just for your analytics. Keep up the good work
Bless you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Looking good !
Turn the volume up buddy
Sorry pal - will do
thought it might have been something like that when it disappeared ,unfortunately that is the sick type of world we live in today ,its such a shame as you and the kids were obviously enjoying your time together
Yep I guess we need to be careful of things that didn’t exist a few years back
Hope all is well and there are no lingering issues with your people.
All is very well mate - cheers
That’s sad, I really enjoyed seeing them with you,. You obviously love them so much. ❤️
They loved it and it was successful which is the most important part. She’ll chill in time (I’m hoping)
Momma bears can take your head off if they think there cubs have any chance of being in danger. It's sad the amount of perverts and sickos there are. Hang in there the boat is looking great.
Luckily it was over the phone otherwise I think she would have taken my head off !!! Ta
