Love the lightheartedness of your natural selves much more than the more formal, scripted style. Still the nicest Narrowboat channel though.
I think it’s quite remarkable that your kitties know to return to their boat home and don’t wander off. I love the perimeter patrol!
Patrol indeed!--but whom? No doubt the primary mission is in keeping these hoomans from surreptitiously making off with "their" estate, yes? ;-)
Your cats are so cute and 'canal boat wise' they know where their home is and thankfully always choose the correct side to jump to explore! x.
CANNUT believe how BOOTIFUL!!!
More Avon, can't be bad!!
Well, you managed to avoid two of the three p!aces we had to rescue hirers from when I worked for a hire fleet on the Avon!
The first was Marcliff weir, where we once had a 65ft boat go straight over the Weir in a flood, they missed the lock cut completely!!
Second was Harrington Weir, where they would get pulled sideways by the current, and get trapped against the weir, then we went out and winched them off! ( Quite common that one)
The third one you haven't shown yet was when boats would go straight on at Offenham lock, and bypass it completely, by bumping there way down the weir stream!
All helped to pass the time, never had anyone hurt!! By the way, I thought it looked like a crocodile!🐊🐊😏
My cat Fidget heard your cat meowing so he had to try to talk to your cat. It was funny to watch. I wonder what he was trying to say to your cat.
My cat went up to the tv and was looking for Alice and Munchy behind the screen. I'll try to send a picture.
Love the video and the river, but I like the cannel tow paths so one can get to villages and towns do keep enjoying the journey I don’t think anything puts the lovely cats off
I love the canal tow paths too
always happy to see what you two can show us.
What a glorious day!! I never want the vlogs to end, but this journey was so stunning I have to watch again. Just cant thank you enough for taking us along!
Lovely to find time to catch up with your journey along the Avon. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing.
What a lovely relaxing and we'll put together video. Can wait until a new one comes out. Thanks for your time sharing
2 of the lovliest ladies that tour the locks. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks
Thanks for sharing such a lovely cruise. Also good to see all 4 of you happy and well.
I love watching your travels. Thank you for making them, it helps feel like I'm going places even when I'm.stuck at home :)
Really pretty scenery! Thanks for sharing!
Best music. Good job! You both are in are hearts here in the US.
What a lovely cruise! Thanks for sharing.
at 13:18 it is a crocodile, obviously :D
Of course!
Possibly a very rare sighting of the little seen Avondile.
@@edtuckerartist there is crocodile in the uk?!
That was a lovely cruise along the river Avon....stay safe....thanks for sharing
Love sharing the journey with you two too.
Great vlog ladies, thank you.
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your videos very much.
gosh how nice. you did look as though you relaxed through!
Some really lovely countryside there ladies - I'm well jealous !!
Thanks for the new video. Very beautiful area with my favorite trees. Like your cat too. Happy cruising.
Thanks for a lovely afternoon Cruise
Wow nice video scenery stunningeat vlog..... best wishes Ken and Christine
Another lovely video ladies, looks a wonderful stretch of canal and the cats are literally living their best life 👍🏻
I am enjoying your trip along the Avon River. Looks delightful!
Amazing vlog beautiful scenery thank you girls.
Thanks for sharing. Love the Cat!
I love it at Harvington lock. I have spent many days blacking boats for other people in the dry dock just over that bridge.
The dry dock used to be the original river lock before it was replaced with the new one you just used.
Glad your enjoying our beautiful river Avon
Thanks for sharing that. It's nice to learn of some of the changes that have been made.
That log kind of looked like a Goanna , which is a kind of monitor lizard I sometimes see hanging out near rivers in Australia.
I really enjoy your vlog. This one in particular. Loved the focus on the kitties at the end. My wife loves the cats as well. Glad to see it when they approve of your mooring.
Really nice, thank you very much.
Thanks for taking me with you on a beautiful jorney, i really enjoyd it, it's been raining three days in a row where i life...
Great video. Very pretty cruise x
Lovely scenery and cool music :-)
Such a pleasure to watch. Ty for another great vlog.
Wonderful : ) ...thank you
Nice to see you. It seamed like you were traveling thru Massachusetts, USA - all the same towns along the coast, It always amazes me how they came so far to settle here and named their new town location after the one left behind. XOX
Thank you for your vlogs. We’re cat people love seeing how they are on the “cut”.
The driftwood reminds me of the turtles when we'd go kayaking at the mill pond on the Eno River. They loved to stand on logs or rocks just barely breaking the surface, legs fully extended and head up like that.
I just noticed Annamarie's hat pin! The styling took me a moment to freeze frame just right and catch the color pattern. That is fantastic! And I have a special love of pins on hats, too; my daily wear when out is a red wool felt cavalier hat two which I have affixed two pins at this time.
I must admit y'all have made me think that doing something of the sort would be a pleasant vacation in some future year. While I am a very social person my wife is not so much and the relative quiet and isolation would be welcome.
Great blog as always, the Avon long distance path sounds very tempting
Lovely videos wish I lived on a narrow boat myself so peaceful 😁
Love that you share so willingly 👍✌️😊🙏🏼
Hello from Cincinnati Ohio usa. I enjoyed riding along. All the best!
Hi I have just found your channel and been binge watching . In these uncertain times I find you both take my mind to a better place love the vlogs thank you x
Love the commentary, reminds me a little of how "Ask the Leyland Brothers", did their voice overs. Great video.
Such a beautiful journey indeed! You both are very lucky! Oh and the bridge has different size arches, both in height and design! Have fun and please keep the videos coming!
love your cats and both of you
Looked like a Croc to me! Lovely video as always. I'm all caught up now I believe. Take care x
I didn't notice anything strange about the bridge arches except the one you went through was very well marked.
When I saw the bit of wood it immediately made me think of an iguana. I saw a beautiful igauna on my way home from shopping yesterday.
Thanks for sharing your journey.
Sitting with a lovely pint of Guinness and watching the scenery really like the caps ladies, well I’ll. watch until the end and then I’ll have to make my darling wife her tea as she is working today but as I make all the meals it’s no hardship and there’s nothing nicer than someone enjoying the meals that you serve up
The music mix was perfect for this chill out video.
Thanks
A relaxing trip in the summer.
13:15 thought of a Beaver.
It is very relaxing watchma the video
Thanks Gals for sharing such a wonderful cruise bringing me aboard "LAZY DAYS", as it is here, ... helps remind one of life on the canals again Did you hear about the three sailors and the midshipman.... Good.
I really like the narration styled format.
That looks a lovely place to cruise got to put it on my to do list as it's not too far for me. Thanks to your inspiration I have finally installed a diesel heater on the boat so I have heat throughout so its brilliant and has set me up for some all year cruising. Even have a vent on the deck to keep me warm when steering. Cheers guys take care. Alan x
That sounds great. We recommend the trip too - just watch the weather as apparently the river levels change with little warning.
Hello there,nicely put over n interesting,stunning scenery
enjoyable watching,
Thank you for sharing your video cheers take care see you soon
Thanks once again for letting me ride along. I don't know where I would have moored, but I suspect David, having found your perfectly suitable overnighter, would have continued on until he found something not quite as nice.
Great vid as usual ladies ... yes it’s a frog ... bloody big one too ... loving the views
I love that cats have to chat with you about things - I assume their opinions.
Our cats are very opinionated.
I thought it looked like frog ready to jump.
Sure appreciate the tutorials and very useful information.
Favorite mooring the one with blue posts. Loving the cats exploring.
Keep on keeping on. Stay safe Stay healthy. ✌❤🤗
I ❤️ watching your kitties. Beautiful scenery too.
Hey Girl’s nice to see you guys you take care..❤️🙏👍☮️✌️
Thanks for the smashing Vlog guys I did enjoy it. I think the tree looked like a snapping turtle.
We are at an Airbnb and just watched you on the big screen ♥️👍😀. Lovely 🖖
Love your vlogs❣ The scenery is always so beautiful ❣ Kitties are adorable. I thought all the arches on the bridge were different heights. I saw a huge frog too. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Wish I could cruise the cut someday. ☮❤😁 from the 🇺🇸 💞💞💞💞💞
Love the cats, the wife and I do town catch and release as well as feeding them. Compared to our lot (we have cats that on home-stay due to their parents situation and have 4 others of our own one is an hic? child but it's amazing what he can do, bit scary when he crosses the road though, his sister didn't make it but now he thinks he's grown up and interdependent, he's still only a baby at 3 years old but very determined. Love the fact your children can stay on a narrow boat and wait to get on land. Guess I'm just a softy, love all animals.
If your going anywhere near Bideford Worcestershire. Be aware they have scaffolding up on the bridge end arches. I was there last weekend. Still enjoying and jealous.
Keep at it girls.. A big love from New Zealand. Xx.
always interesting watching you two,
Hello hello' ...I really enjoyed the wonderful journey and the spectacular scenery' ...the bridge - some Shakespearean connection perhaps? ...I saw the log as a frog too ha ha. As long as you moor as safely as possible, at the park would be cool ...your cats are beautiful' thank you for sharing' take good care.
Glad you enjoyed it
Me and my girlfriend like watching these videos together we only just recently found your channel but we're enjoying it a lot :)
Just !!! another wonderful video the English countryside is so beautiful and the cats behaving so well
Thank you
Another beautiful cruise, thanks for all the wonderful footage and commentary. Definitely enjoy Kath's succinct explanations of the differences in the locks, the landings, etc. And glad the 4th boat satisfied the curiosity about if any viewers were passing! But now I'll be awake all night wondering... what about the arches? :) Stay safe and fingers crossed for more good weather for the remainder of the Avon!
Lovely vlog! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad to see the cats are keeping a good eye on things.
Thank you
Welcome!
That log definitely looked like a frog! Lovely vlog and I loved Kath’s narration. I also loved Alice the safety monitor! X
My friends and I moored at Bidford bridge on a Sunday and watched all the cabin cruisers parading up and down the river .Two of them tried to use the navigation arch at the same time!
It's a great spot to sit and watch the boats go by.
Once again enjoyed the vlog brilliant filming and music thanks ladies take care both of you and the cats
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm abit later watching today. Always enjoy my Sunday vlog.
I like the 3 single ladies Annamarie. I'm with Kath, not heard it b4 in that rhyme but I'd wouldn't mind if 3 single ladies came along for me, especially if one had a narrowboat.😂
Excellent vlog as always.....many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
ayyyyy good job keep doing what ur doing love uuuu
Brilliant....love the cats, they seem so happy......stay safe ladies...xx
Thank you will do
great vlog. The pile looked like a New Zealand Tuatara lizard.
Sue O'Keefe agree with Sue
Hi girls it is so good to see your lovely country after lockdown I go wish I was there as well to enjoy
Glad you enjoyed. Hope you are well.
The Narrowboat Experience yes I have being well after being in hospital for a week 5 weeks ago and watching the videos made it better
Great stuff, brings back so many memories Gpx
Glad you enjoyed it
I respond to my cats as well. She certainly had something important to tell you. I had a little trouble with the accent. Safe and fun cruising!
Hi ladies from Oklahoma! It’s always a joy to watch ur vids!!!! Luv luv luv the scenery!
Thanks so much
Bedford bridge was where Top Gear did a show trying to drown all the onlookers from the pub garden. Some years ago now, they also ditched a caravan in a local field. It could still be there.
Lovely video, quite charming. In my opinion the 'what does it look like' reminded me of an alligator. I look forward to the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it
I thought the thing on the weeds looked like a small iguana. Love kaths humour with the number of boats and you tube watchers lol.
This episode was so calming. Loving the trip down the Avon!
That log looks like a Komodo Dragon about to pounce!
glad you enjoyed it
Another great show, the avon is certainly one of the most interesting canal. enjoyed this trip guys thank you from John in New Zealand. Kai-ora.
Glad you enjoyed it
fantastic video again girls.family members have a caravan at harvington .so know the area well ..hopefully were you moored up you went to see the old mill which is on the island .all intact but needs plenty of TLC.to restore it..Think if you had just gone round the corner to the next lock the mooring would have been better . keep the blogs coming.one day i will get to say hello if you come back to knowle locks again.
Good afternoon girls, and lovely to see your beautiful smiles again!
There seemed to be an awful lot of junk in the Avon, dead trees, and other debris, causing restrictions!
But beautiful scenery! Button says 'Hi!' to you all!
Stay safe! :-)
Yes, you do have to keep your wits about you
