Thanks Alan, for taking us along on this lovely sunny Spring cruise and with the return of the cheese topped roll. It's nice to see that the tree that was hanging across the canal has been pruned and that the main trunk is doing well. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Hi Stevie, thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed this episode and the CTR! Hope you’re keeping well, best wishes Alan
Great Video Alan, I noticed some new camera angles and positions, very enjoyable. Loved seeing the chat with the people you passed. I look forward to all your videos - thank you 👍
That’s very kind of you to say Rufus, I have been experimenting with the filming, thanks for noticing it. I try and engage with all those I pass. All the best🤠
Agreed. I particularly like the lower side shots of moored boats.
Great video Alan. I love seeing cows. Reminds me of our family farm as a young child. ❤ HI to Sally. Hope she is also well. Bless 🙌
Thank you so much, Sally is fine thanks. Glad you enjoyed this episode, have a lovely weekend 💙
I wondered when we'd see the return of your now famous co-stars the Cheese-Topped Rolls. 🤗
Fortunately, I managed to buy some before I set out!
Hi Alan, always good to see you. I’m wishing you wonderful, healthy summer travels
Hi Ginger thank you for your summer travel wishes, I hope you have a lovely weekend.
It looks like a very pleasant relaxing day. Your Cheese top roll is making me hungry, but I'll wait for my dinner time. Enjoy your cruise and relaxation.🌞
Thank you so much Anna, just had a family gathering for my 70th birthday party yesterday 🤠
Now Glen and I are hungry looking at the cheese toped roll sandwitch. Cheers Alan😃🤠👩❤👨
Hi Glen and Tammy, they are very tasty, most enjoyable to eat 🤠. All the best to you both.
Hi Alan watching from Chester. Very warm this weekend 10th 11th 12th but rain and colder afterwards, hope Sally is ok.
Hi Philip, Sally is fine, she is with me ready for my birthday celebrations tomorrow, and It's going to be rather hot where we are. All the best.
Alan, after cruising, my boat feels undressed without the canopy up. Best room on the boat if you ask me. Versatile and very protective.
Very much so, a very handy extra room well worth having.
Another good day cruising. Well done
Thank you so much Hugh.
Yay cheesy rolls are back. Enjoy your cruise. The roll looked yummy.
Thank you Paul, they were very tasty, cheers.
Isn't life wonderful now Spring has finally arrived, the birds singing in the trees, and the sound of the river going by with the hustle of traffic taking over as it passes on by. Oh how lucky we are to have so much more then others in this world. Peace, serenity, and great things, come our way each day of our life's.
PS... Like the changing of the little things in life, it all has to be good for the better. Just don't change you... You are fine just the way you are. 🖖
It certainly is. The weather has much improved this week and it's been very warm today and should be over the weekend for my birthday celebrations tomorrow, which I'm looking forward to, as we have a family get together. Have a lovely weekend.
@@MyNarrowboatVenture Oh yes Alan, I had momentarily forgotten your big day tomorrow. Have the best day ever and have two pints for me in celebration to your 80th. Wow what an achievement. Happy Birthday sir.
Thank you so much but a bit of an ooops here, as I’m only 70! These small keys don’t help 😊
@@MyNarrowboatVenture Oops my bad, I don't know how I put 80, my eyes & memory are failing me is all I can say about that Alan. Still, it was meant in good thoughts. Have a good one my friend. 🍻
Thanks very much, I realised it was a mistake, these things happen, so not to worry, all the best.
Hi Alan, nice to see you cruising. xx
Thanks Jenny, this is the first episode of a new series xx
Another good trip for you Alan, good camera footage, have a great weekend.
Your cheese rolls look lovely.
Thank you Dougie, kind of you to say, at last we have some lovely weather, you too have a good weekend. And they were yummy!
How bizarre we’re moored up at the exact same spot yesterday for the weekend. Bridge 24 our normal stop over was busy.😎👍🏼
Enjoy your time there Nick and have a great weekend🤠
Good video on channel cranking it on cut thanks lee
Many thanks Lee, hope you’re well.
Hi Alan , nice shot of my boat Sarah Kay at Bridge 22, you'd gone past when I realised it was you, I will catch you one day & yes bridge 20 very tight & sods law that you'll meet another boat.
Hi Micheal, sorry to have missed you, glad you liked seeing your boat. Sally and I will be at Crick, if you’re about then.
It was a lovely shot of our boat Sarah Kay, we do love her. Yes we are at Crick, hope to see you there. Alison and Mike Narrowboat Sarah kay
@@alisonsimpson616Hi Alison. Sally and I look forward to meeting you both at Crick.
Hello, I am in South Africa and enjoy your channel. It is high time you and Sally venture out on a 50 to 100 mile cruise. 🥂
Greetings to you and thanks for supporting the channel. I agree with you and we are trying to work out some dates for a long cruise, but we each have commitments to work around, which does make it difficult but I'm very hopeful we will get something sorted. Cheers
Hi Alan lovely to see you out cruising again. Means summer is on its way. I too have a passion for cheese topped rolls. Have a lovely week take care. Xx😊
Thank you Sandy, it was good to get out and not be rushed to get anywhere. I’m glad you like cheese topped rolls. Enjoy this warmer weather for the weekend 🤠xx
Hi Alan Nice trip out hope you have a good rest. Take care.
Thank you so much Bob, all is good, have a great weekend. Keep safe.
Hi Alan, an idea for an episode ~ about the camera you use to film, the wireless mast you put up when you stop and what video editing software you use. Many thanks, KR AndyT(Somerset)
Hi Andy, thanks for the suggestion, I have covered these aspects in other videos and it is something I have thought about doing again. So you never know😃
Evening Alan, that was a lovely cruise. You certainly are blessed with some lovely countryside near your marina. Was it my poor observation on previous vlogs, or did you have some new camera positions / angles this time? Really enjoyed watching...Happy birthday for the coming weekend...🍷🍷
Evening Steve. I am experimenting with camera positions to give a different aspect for the viewer. Thank you for your good wishes, I have a family get together tomorrow, which Sally and I are really looking forward to 🥂
sugguestion Alan: when using mooring chains? especially the middle one, why not use an old inner tube over the chain to stop scratching your paint work so much?
Thanks for the suggestion Martin, when mooring on Armco it’s not actually the chain that rubs on the paintwork. But I do have sleeve protectors on the mooring lines where they rub on the handrail. Cheers
Wonder if the cheese topped rolls can be frozen?
I expect so but I couldn’t freeze them, as I don’t have the space in my tiny ice box!
