    Hi, Paul and Anthony.
    It was brilliant meeting with you and your friends yesterday in Chester.
    We enjoyed our brief chat with you all, and its nice to see you in person too, and not just on the little screen.
    A pity Paul didn't have his magic kit with him. Would have been fun.
    I think you will have enjoyed your meal at Hickory's last night. Its a great place.
    Looking forward to seeing your vlog about Chester, and all the others.
    We would also be interested when you put Morning Star on the market.
    If possible would you be able to keep us informed. Thank you.
    Keep safe.
    Stuart and Val

      We had a lovey meal in Chester, really was a nice venue.
      Liam (Oakums) is the person you need to speak to re Morning Star but I can always ask him about it for you.
      Won’t be for a while. Our boat build doesn’t start until November.
      Thanks again for taking the time to chat to us. Have a great week and stay cool ❤️

    Lots of Dexter on the vlog thank you. Everywhere looking so lush and lots of varying shades of green. I love that there is always talk, or visits, of cafes, pubs, food and drink for you both, plus friends, such a lovely part of life. You do have busy lives so sometimes your bodies and minds will tell you they need some R&R, its worth listening to them. I'm sure you dont remember "The sun has got its hat on" from 1932, but maybe from 1985 in "me and my girl" . Enjoyable vlog as usual, enjoy your week, and I hope it contains a cafe or pub or two xxx

I'm afraid I've had a bad week, on Tuesday I was mugged when someone grabbed my bag with my bank card and phone and other important things. It has really shocked me and I'm still recovering things with the bank and phone company. I just can't believe that anyone would steal from a disabled person. It's the first time this has happened to me so i still feel shell-shocked. All the best to you. Stephen ❤

Your mentioning Mathew Corbett threw me into a search online to see what he was up to these days, I'm glad to see he's still alive. Don't tell anyone but I used to have a massive crush on him when he was doing the Sooty shows (in my defence I was only 10!!) 🤣🤣🤣

    Good Saturday! ❤ The Bridgewater is a lovely canal and Lymm seems like a really nice village. I can't recall hearing too much about it before. I do love looking at the houses from the canal. Since I'm past narrowboating abilities already I can see having a canal side home---but if I were able I'd be on the water. 🥰 Dexter is a lot like me on those upward steps. I always stop to "look around' but actually I'm resting! ❤ Oh, insomnia. 🥺 I turn the light switch off and the one in my head instantly turns ON. Everything that I managed to ignore all day becomes an emergency that must be dealt with immediately. Fortunately that's not every night but I still have the bad ones pretty routinely. Let me know if you find an answer! Take care and have a great week! ❤

What a lovely dream that is. 🥰 I kind of appreciated being sick because I could go to bed and sleep straight through. Even on my 'good' nights I wake up during the night and on the bad nights I might finally fall asleep at 6AM. I remember going to bed and sleeping all night once upon a time.

    Having being brought up in Timperley/Altrincham area, the last time I visited Lymm was 1962 to play a school cricket match against Lymm Grammer. I had a school friend called Duncan Jones who lived in Lymm. His dad was a dentist.
    Your superb video brought memories flooding back. Thanks so much for taking me along for the ride.
    The canal is beautiful. So green and peaceful with gorgeous flowers and wild life. Real Heaven!

    Good Morning "The Sun has it's Hat on" and "Hip Hip Hooray" Loving your banter as always. Lymm looks a really nice, and those 2 pubs at the start of the Vlog looked really good . Poor Dexter-Dog was worn out after his pub crawl😀 Great Haircut Paul, strange that they washed your face? It must be a Lymm thing? It was (nice)funny to see Dexter speed up once Paul mentioned breakfast. Loving the gardens leading down to the canal. I'm with you Paul, if only I could afford that. Having your Narrow-boat at the end of your garden must be heaven. Vaudeville, is that not the American term for what we would have called Variety (in the UK) back in the day. I used to like "Sunday Night at the London Palladium", and then later on we had, "Sunday night at the ABC Blackpool", seeing all the top stars of the day. Your Vlog is bringing a lot of memories back to me today. All those old Sit-com TV shows too. They were fun during the period of time they were made in, but I think the woke brigade would have a word to say, if they were made today. Loving the Jayne Torvill, Christopher Biggins banter. Especially love the sequence when you came into more at the side of the canal. It's good to see maneuvers like that. As always, a brilliant watch. Your Vlogs are so well made and edited. Have a great week. Take care.

      I remember the old variety shows too. I definitely think some would be a bit close to the knuckle for today.

    Love the Bridgewater canal. The song "The sun has got his hat on" is by Ambrose and his Orchestra from 1932. You have now got that song in my head 😂

      Love the Bridgewater too. Glennis, so beautiful and bonus of no locks 😊.

    What an incredible canal, so beautiful. I wait to see precious Dexter, he is such a beautiful boy. If being posh is a good thing then both of you are posh and kind and just lovely. Thanks for another trip to your magical world. Cheers

      The Bridgewater is beautiful. Shame we can only spend a short time on it. No locks, just perfect. Dexter is the most gentle dog bless him.
      Aww thank you. We definitely aren’t posh 😂 but we do try and be kind. Have a great weekend. ❤️

    Again great vlog, even puppy sat there and watched Dex, he was also attracted by the music, never seen him do that before. So very pretty. We leave on about the 18/19th to go south to look at houseboats, heaps of nice ones being advertised at the moment, HEAPS out of our price range but most of those are in an area we don’t want to go to anyway, but will they be so nice in real life and will they still be there when we get there. Thanks for the lovely trip, stay safe you three and see you next week. 💕

    Hi guys. . . . Some amazing property along the canal and I imagine some hefty price tags too but what a beautiful setting. Loved the banter as always and you made me laugh when you mentioned about Robins Nest. Being 58 I remember the program well and of course Man about the house . They were shows you could watch without fear of upsetting anyone and still just as funny today. Have a great weekend both of you and good to see Dexter too.

      I vaguely remember those programmes but I have such a vivid memory of early childhood, Paul always says it’s weird I remember so much 😂: I like weird 😊.
      It was good family fun. Hope you have a good weekend ❤️

    Good day guys and Dexter! Lymm sounds like a quaint place and Dean and I would love to visit some day. I read that in 2017 it was voted best place to live! Just and exciting area to do more research on. The houses along the Bridgewater Canal were just amazing some looked like had more formal gardens, just lovely! Dexter, just bless him! He's just the most handsome fur baby. Dean and I and of course our two fur babies are off tomorrow for a well deserved vacation and we will visit two of our favorite places in Florida. St Augustine for 3 days and then a little town near Orlando called Mt Dora. Wishing you 3 a lovely and safe weekend. Sending love and well wishes. John, Dean, Johann & Greta

      I am not surprised it was voted best place to live.
      Dexter is the cutest bless him.
      Aww hope you all have a fab vacation. Sounds like you have some fun stuff planned. Love tot you and Dean and a snuggle for Greta and Johann ❤️ ♥️ xx
