Lovely vlog Gary. Great Haywood is one of my favourite places to go on the canal, so picturesque. Little Dixie looks so cute, especially in Nicky's pocket.......so sweet.
Phil
We love it there and may return for the winter
Lovely spot, interesting vlog. Thank you. Cheers.
We don’t live far away from great Hayward and Cannock chase and yes its-really is a beautiful we walk round there regularly so glad chugs is ok again but what an area to have to stay in Dixie is as gorgeous as ever and you and Nicky are lovely as ever look forward to the next one see you soon
Thank you so very much Maureen, Great Haywood and Tixall are our favourite places and we'll be back very soon
So sorry to hear about your boat problems, but glad to hear they’re all fixed now. Hope all holds solid for your future cruising 😊
Thank you, its both a time & financial set back but we're a safe and cruising
Another interesting vlog, sorry to hear of your troubles, which I know you’ve mentioned to me, didn’t realise you had to stay over the usual allocated time. All the best Alan
It was a lovely place to stay though, truly love it there
We had several holidays from Great Haywood with Anglo-Welsh and they were always brilliant: happy days! 😊
They were great with us, very friendly
Lov lov lov this pix
Such happy smiles
Lovely to see little Dixie settling into boat dog life. I’m sure our Jasper and Dale are in cahoots, walking off and pretending not to hear when they are called back 😂. We moored in that exact same spot overlooking Shugborough a few days ago. Now passing through Penkridge. Perhaps we will catchup 😊
Its just so beautiful there, it has everything you need. We're now in Brewood but moving on tmrw we think, possibly only to Wheaton Aston

Monday Sept. 5th.
Wife (Chris) and I were walking the towpath along the Trent and Mersey at Gt Haywood when Gary walked past us on his way to check the situation at the waterpoint. As he passed I commented that I love his vlogs at which point he took the time to walk back to Chugabug and chat with us, even though he had other things to do.
Nicky introduced us to Dixie and we had a nice chat before parting company.
Kicking myself that I hadn't taken a photo I was pleased to see Chugabug moored at the waterpoint on our return journey and Gary took a couple of 'group' selfies of us on my phone.
Sunday Sept. 11th
Chris and I were at Gt Haywood Classic car and Motorcycle show on our 60 year old bike (owned and ridden for 53 years) when we bumped into Gary & Nicky plus friends plus Dixie, we had another chat before they left to find the car section of the show.
Lovely couple, lovely friends, lovely boat and lovely dogs. They made time both days to chat to a couple of 'professional' towpath walkers who pound the beat along the Trent & Mersey, Staffs & Worcs and Coventry canals.
As a footnote. Anglo Welsh staff at Gt Haywood are excellent as stated in one of the comments below. We have hired dayboats on a number of occasions from there to practice going through locks just for the fun of it, in fact the last time was the 13th Sept and the guy who did the hand over was the same guy who carried out the repairs to Chugabug in this vlog.
Aww it was a pleasure to meet you guys ad of course it was no trouble at all to have a friendly chat. It's always nice to chat to people and share our experiences. Thank you so much both for this wonderful comment x
Well done bud
Great vlog
Love watching them 👍👍

A lovely vlog, Great Haywood is a gorgeous place, thanks for a very beautiful vlog, I really enjoyed it.
My pleasure Shirley
Hi Gary, I am a new subscriber. I am totally new to this long boat living. I have never seen anything like it. But I just want to tell you how much I am enjoying your blogs. I love your commentary and the scenery to which you get to enjoy is amazing. Safe travels and thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you so much Raven I really appreciate that. I hope you continue to enjoy the vlogs, there's lots more to come
Lily and Noah are so very lucky to have you Gary in their lives. I just love to see how you pour into them and how Nicky also gives so much of herself in homeschooling them. Never, ever discount the positive influence you having upon these two precious children ! I loved watching Lily blow out her birthday candles, thanks for this. God Bless Your little family.
Once again such kind words Micheal, thank you
Gary good vlog sorry to hear of your troubles but now they are fixed up you should be good to go sounds like you all had a good time that makes for a happy boat. Ok mate take care of your lovely crew and your new member of the four leg crew take care see you al in the next vlog Ed 40 S of Vegas

Hi Gary another great Vlog why can’t you say what the boat problem was ? Xx
People think I'm moaning or sponging when I mention costs etc so it's better not to bother I've found lol
U r too cute gary. This was a pleasant video. A soft n easy one I lov the peacefulness sorry about the circumstances Ithat u had to stay
Dixie is growing before our eyes
Dale is. Very beautiful
Does primrose like Dixie?
Lov to all. Take care
Primrose adores little Dixie and they often play together. All fixed now though and ready for the winter months ahead
😆we were stuck in Colwich lock with jammed gates for about 4 hours some years back! You can just imagine the queue top and bottom by the time we got out!!😁. Every new boat arrival brought another’wise advisor’ as to how to get out!!
I think you guys are maybe going to consider a bigger boat for all of you, winter May be a bit messy with all those paws plus 4 pairs of wellies 😉. Joan
Lol we coped last winter ok so this year won't be a problem lol... we may have two boats too
That sounds great 👍🌟
Nice vlog Gary. It's like being with you on the canals. Glad to see your so happy. Greetings from Germany
You ARE with me Timothy
Beautiful place I know so well. Not sure why the problem on chugs is such a secret?
I get people moaning lol... rather do without it
@@GaryCaptainPhillips hey, you have no reason to react to people who moan or are negative. You’ve sooo much positivity going on right now you’ve got the best to look forward to. Lots of love to all 🥰
Gary. That was Philip Green, the Top Shop guy, with you earlier, wasn't it?
BTW, that looks like a razor blade attached to your cap. Peaky Blinders?
Jeff
Lol I've no idea matey and yes it's just a pin razor blade it came with some Peaky Blinders boxed real ale pack
Nice one Gary nowt like a woman’s touch to get ya house in order hope ya boats sorted and you are all well and good keep safe 🙂🐶🐶🌟🐶✌️

Thanks Gary, for taking us along on this lovely cruise with great presentation by yourself. It's great to see that you and your lovely crew are doing well. Take care and all the best. Stevie

Love Great Haywood Gary, lovely little place with the hall and farm shop, and thiers something idyllic about the junction, hope you all enjoyed 🤠👍♥️
Its definitely our favourite place, it has everything we need
YOU MUST GET UP TO THE LANCASTER CANAL...NO LOCKS EXCEPT IF YOU GO DOWN TO GLASSON BASIN...THE HARDEST BIT IS CROSSING THE RIVER RIBBLE....
Yes we aim to do that one day
Just wondering Gary. You said quite sometime ago when Nicky came aboard that her boat went into a marina for the duration. Seems expensive as it’s not being used and a drain on your finances or have I got it all wrong. Great vlog yet again.
Yes it is, it's also having work done on her at the moment too. We're heading up to get her now
Hi Gary and family, just letting u know we've be to chip little x area & tidied it up, it still looks lovely just had some leaves on the stones, tony ,terri & Charlie are little boy, just watch your video when u picked up dixe, so cute hope all is well with u all take care love terri, tony & Charlie
Aww thank you all, its lovely for us to know his memorial is looking nice and it's so very kind of you all to look after him... thank you from all the Chugabug crew xxx
Hi Garry many thanks again on such a great video ! I hope you are all well and wishing you all the best . was wondering if you get a chance in a video at some point to let us know how you prepare for the colder months and into winter living aboard ? how much does your life change during winter? anyway chap keep up the good work you are an inspiration to many .
I certainly will bud as its getting colder already and we've had the stove lit
Love your vlogs Gary, I have watched you from the start and never tire of them, thank you.
Frank you for watching Kath x
Glad you are all ok there's nothing worse than breaking down
Its terrible, it always costs so much
Lovely vlog and delighted your all safe, Blessings to you All
Cheers Phil
Hi, the picture of you both was really nice,
Thank you
💖💖
Captain, little Dixie needs a harness? 😉
We've just got him one but he's not allowed on the ground yet bless him
Family, friends, food, flowers - fantastic! Glad Chugs broke down in such a lovely place, Thank you Gary
I agree Linda, if we have to have problems make it there x
Hello from ALASKA!
Hello from the Shropshire Union Canal
GG says woof to Dale and Primrose and Dixie. Welcome to the family little one!
Having had no less than Four Covid jabs, I suddenly realized that I had NOT had any regular colds (the type that I would usually have in Fall and spring) for the last two years!
I ironic that we haven't either but we've both had the dreaded Covid
Yy
The elder berries are mildly toxic (but you need to eat a bushel of them to start suffering).
And we're boiling and crushing them too matey, we still haven't got round to doing it yet lol
@@GaryCaptainPhillips i believe Fran on Floating Our Boat is quite an elderberry expert. Glad your boat is tip top now and also looks beautiful. Take care. Leigh
Yes we've been in touch with Fran
