Hi Guys. Lovely drawing of Charlie. Paul you have to be patient with eye surgery and healing. Eyes take a while to heal. When I had eye surgery, I had double vision for months before it went back to normal. And a red eye for 18 months, so I wore shades even in the nightclub 😂. Once it heals you will feel much better. Look after yourself. 👍❤️👍
Hey Angie.
I loved Paul’s picture too. His eye is slowly improving. His eye doesn’t look as sore now but he also wears shades too. He is looking forward to getting his sight back. Have a great week ❤️
I teared up in the beginning but in the end I felt so happy and excited either way all the action and everything. I’ve secretly stopped watching my van conversions and souly get my daily dose of happiness with you guys!! 🥰🥰
Thank you Brian. It is definitely bitter sweet. The canal we are on currently is beautiful. We do miss sharing it with Dexter. Life is definitely better with a dog. Thank you for watching. Hugs to you ❤️
Beautiful
💕
♥️
What a wonderful life you are living
We love it Carolyn. It isn’t without its challenges but we wouldn’t swap it. Have a good weekend ❤️
💜💙💚 Hugs for Dexter. You three do make life so much brighter. Wishing you all good health.
Thank you. Dexter needs all the hugs he can get. Bless him. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Good video as always. Hope the eye is doing okay. Enjoy Crick
Thank you Jackie. Glad you enjoyed. Have a lovely week. Crick was a blast ❤️
A perfect way to end what's been a tricky week for me. I started the week jobless and end up on Friday evening enjoying your travels with a new job offered and accepted! Love to Dexter, i hope he's feeling ok and that you two are doing great too. Have a great weekend ❤❤❤
Hey Colin. Sorry for your job loss but made up you have found another. Dexter is slowing so much now bless him. We are both ok. Paul’s eye will be a few more weeks we think. Have a lovely week and best of luck in your new job. ❤️
Hope your eye is making a good recovery now .Have a good time at Crick
He is slowly getting there Dave. We had a blast at Crick. Have a fab week ❤️
When I have eye problems of various sorts, I always find that wearing glasses give great comfort because 1) they stop the breeze/wind which can irritate eye ever so slightly esp since your lifestyle is outside and 2) tinted glasses, even slight tint which usable inside, can reduce glare that can irritate eye. So if these are not contraindicated by your condition, buy cheap glasses and give it a try. Good luck
Thanks for the tips. I will pass it on to Paul. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
One of the best narrowboat vids I've seen on RUclips. Fantastic stuff
Thank you so much. That’s really kind. Have a lovely week ❤️
Beautiful portrait of Charlie, you really are very talented and so lucky. Your eye will take time, just be careful. Dexter has slowed down a lot, he looks tired but happy. 🐾❤️
Hey Wendy. I am super proud of Paul, he really is very talented. Breaks my heart to see how slow Dexter is now but he doesn’t appear to be in pain. Have a lovely week ❤️ .
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked no pain, he’s still a happy boy. 🐾❤️ All the work you are having to do while Paul gets better, he’s no doubt proud of you too. xx
Thank you 😊
Hi guys and Dexter
I'm new to making comments, third time as I said previously, just finished watching all your vlogs with my husband, loved every minute of it.
Sorry this week been abit testing, what with Anthony's van playing up, Paul's eye making him anxious, what with unable to do his beautiful artwork, and Dexter not feeling quite himself. If that's not enough having to say goodbye to your lovely friends. You've certainly been through it, we felt so sorry for you both,let's hope things improve.
Look after each other and dear Dexter. Love Christine and Derek.
Hey Christine and Derek. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
It really has been a trying time for us all. Paul’s eye is slowly improving. Dexter is getting slower, bless him. The van has been fixed and not as costly as we anticipated.
Hope you are both keeping well. Have a lovely week ❤️
Take care of your eye Paul, wish you all the best, my brother had emergency detached retina a few years ago, it takes a while to fully recover. Be patient and you’ll be seeing roses and castles! 😀
He is getting there. Reckon a few more weeks before his vision is completely back. Have a great week ❤️
Dexter looking cool 😍 🦴
He is a beautiful boy Marcy. ❤️
Such an amazing portrait of Charlie. Paul, you’re so brilliant. Sending love and light to you all.
Glad you enjoyed Dharma. Paul really is talented. I am really proud of him. Have a good weekend ❤️
Hope Dexter is okay, take care with your eye Paul, rest, and hope Antony's cold get better. We could all do with some sunshine. thank you for sharing your time.
Hey Jackie. Paul’s eye is getting better. It is a slow process. Dexter is definitely getting slower. He does melt my heart. Agree re the sunshine. Always makes you feel better. Have a good weekend ❤️
Slow down!!!!! Give your eye the time to heal Paul. I had eye surgery 5 years ago, and you’re right, you can’t do some things. I can’t image editing is easy with one eye. Please wear glasses outside for sun protection as well as dust. Enough badgering….your dog portrait was gorgeous! You have made good friends over the years and even though they go their separate ways, those connections remain. Hope you are feeling better Anthony. And Dexter too.
😊🤗❤️🐾 Kathy
He is such a bad patient. He does wear sunglasses outside though as the sun currently hurts his eyes.
The cut does forge some amazing friendships. We have been so lucky we have made so many. The connection definitely is still there. Dexter is slowing bless him. We are all ok. Have a great week ❤️
Love your art work ,all that i have seen has been so good . Sorry about your eye ,hope it will get better soon.
Thank you so much ❤️
Very nice vlog so much going on, Hope your eye continues to improve and so nice to see Dexter trotting along, It must be hard to say goodbye to someone who you've cruised with for so long I always found it hard to say goodbye after a weeks holiday stay safe looking forward to next week.😊
Hey Robert. Glad you enjoyed. Paul’s eye is improving thank you. It really was hard to say goodbye. Especially when we had done such incredible things with them. Have a lovely week and take care ❤️
Hey guys! Oh Paul hope you feel better soon. It must be so upsetting not being able to work on your art
Hi Heloisa. He is frustrated he can’t draw but fingers crossed things will improve in the next few weeks. Have a great week ❤️
Poor Dexter. Hope your eye will be okay Paul. Have a good weekend. Cheers!
Bless him. He is plodding now. Paul’s eye is slowly improving. Have a lovely week ❤️
Sending big cuddles to Dexter and Paul I hope your eye is on the mend.
Thank you. Paul is getting there. Maybe a few more weeks before he can see. Have a lovely week ❤️
Hi guys! Hoping the mixed bag has now been sorted and all is well, give Dexter some extra hugs.
Enjoy Crick!❤🐕❤️
Hey Eric. It really has been a mixed bag. Crick was a blast. We missed taking Dexter but it was the right choice for him. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Hello Paul, Anthony and Dexter Dog. Really nice to see Dexter walking towards the boat at the start of the Vlog.
You can see he has slowed down a bit. Bless him.
Good to see Anthony walking Dexter, and it made me smile, as Anthony had to adapt to Dexter's slower walking speed.
Anthony is doing an amazing job nursing Paul thru his recent medical issue.
It was a nice look back over your travels with Tony and Karen.
You're having a nice but wet cruise, and Anthony does look cold. Is that normal to see so much smoke from the generator when it's in use?
Wow! A stern thruster as well as a bow thruster, does that mean you could turn on a sixpence if needed?
Great picture of Charly, Paul. Hoping your eye is improving day by day. Do you know what caused the condition?
Anthony, good job cleaning the engine bay.
It's nice that you have (more) friends helping with the locks and swing bridges. Paul and Anthony, you know everyone in the canal world.
An excellent and enjoyable Vlog.
Thank you very much. All the best Spoolbox
Hey Spoolbox.
Dexter definitely is slowing bless him.
I hope Paul’s eye gets better soon. He has no idea what caused it. People over 50 with short sightedness are more prone.
We loved travelling with Tony and Karen and it definitely was lovely seeing all the things we have done.
I was freezing lol. The stuff from the generator is actually steam. If you look closely the “smoke” is white. It is a raw water cooled generator and the byproduct is steam.
We can turn on its axis. It has been really useful.
Loved the picture of Charly too.
The engine bay was spotless.
We have some amazing friends and the canal community is second to none.
Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
What a time you are having, I hope Paul’s eye is on the mend I imagine it will take a while, how’s Dexter doing? Gorgeous weather here today hope it’s the same with you guys ☀️☀️☀️enjoy your weekend x
Hey Lorna. We really are. Paul’s eye is slowly improving. Dexter is slowing massively 😢. We did have lovely weather until it turned 😂. Have a lovely weekend ❤️
When I get my injections the first evening is quite painful, second day gets a bit better and third day starts to feel much better. Poor Dexter, the weather swings of spring are really hard on my arthritis and it’s when the barometric pressure is changing that it’s worse, usual starts getting worse a day or so before a storm. I wonder if it’s the same for Dexter?
The drawing of Charlie is great Paul🤩, hope your eye is much better now and that Anthony is over the cold🤞. We’ve had a week of sunny dry weather, we often get that, a big tease and we’re getting the garden furniture out, digging out the flower beds, planting and then…….its awful till late June. Brr cold and overcast but not so much rainy. Who knows what this year will bring though, they are predicting about 13 named storms / hurricanes this season so we might just blow across the Atlantic to your shore😂.
The battle between the saucy squirrel and the kittens continues, if they ever get out it’s in for a shock. Take care , all of you, hope you’re enjoying Crick🙋🏼♀️🥰
Hey Dawn. You can definitely see Dexter slowing. The injections help but he is now losing muscle mass. He does get stiffer in colder weather.
Paul’s eye is slowly improving. Pleased to say my cold has gone completely. We have had a mixed bag of weather like you. It has rained a lot over the weekend.
Hope you don’t get hurricanes.
Bless, cats are very fast so fingers crossed for the squirrel 😂. Have a lovely week and take care ❤️
Surprised your out and about. My experience of eye operations means you have to posture downwards for most of the day.
Hi Alan only for the first day with this particular op. But it takes 12 weeks for the bubble to dissolve 👍
Hi. Hope Dexter is ok. Sending him a cuddle 🤗. Thanks for another lovely video. 🤗🤗😘
He is slowing bless him. He hasn’t been himself lately. Cuddles given. Glad you enjoyed the vlog. Have a lovely week ❤️
❤❤
Kinver was were we meet you both last August in the hot weather it was lovely,if you at crick see you both at the weekend hopefully ❤
One of my favourite little villages we stopped at. Hope you had a good weekend at Crick Boat Show. ❤️
I hope Dexter is feeling better after his visit to the vet. Look after that eye, Paul, and I hope Anthony's cold soon gets better! XX
Hey Jacki. Dexter is really slowing, although the injections are helping. Paul’s eye is getting there and thankfully, my cold has gone. Have a great week. ❤️
A one-eyed boater! All you need now is a foul-mouthed one-eyed Parrot to sit on your shoulder! I jest, I jest :)
Another lovely vlog, thank you lads.
And best wishes for continued progress with your eye Paul!
Hey Mike. 😂. I like the sound of a foul mouthed parrot. His eye is slowly improving. Hope you have a fab week ❤️
You are so right about endings, Paul. Wishing you continued progress with the eye and getting back to your commissions. Hope Dexter is feeling better and that all of you are enjoying that beautiful scenery and new friendships.
It really is always sad to leave friends on the cut. The good thing is, you often see them a year later 😊. Dexter is slowing bless him. We absolutely love the Leeds Liverpool canal. Have a lovely week ❤️
Only just found your channel and I'm glad I did. Really enjoying your vlogs, your thoughts and videos. Very calming. Dexter is a star all on his
own. I also enjoy your met ups with other vloger. What a great community spirit you have. Many many thanks. Take care. Bill (in Mississippi)
Welcome to the channel Bill. Glad you are enjoying our travels. Dexter is a star bless him. We are really blessed being part of the boating community. Hope you have a lovely rest of the week ❤️
Thinking of you three.
All the best and have a lovely and restful weekend.
🙂🐿🌈❤️
Thank you. We had a hectic but very enjoyable weekend at the Crick boat show. Have a great week ❤️
Wolverhampton may sound like old hat to you but it sounds as exotic to me as Italy.
Your warm friendships that you describe make your videos as charming as usual, accompanied by the lovely British countryside, an unbeatable combination.
I look forward to your videos but, Paul, please don’t overdo it. Take care of your eye and rest.
Hey Susan. We have been to some amazing places and everywhere has its unique charms. We really have made some amazing friends on the cut. Really pleased you enjoy our content. Have a fabulous weekend ❤️
Great video as usual 👍 Have a Great weekend at Crick. Hope your eye is improving Paul
Dexter is a very cool old dog bless him, he's so beautiful

What a wonderful series of cruises. I hope your eye heals quickly, Paul. All the best to you three!
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed. Paul’s eye is slowly improving. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Looks like Paul is mighty active to have so recenly had retinal surgery.
He is a bad patient Marshall 😂. Have a good week ❤️
Well done Anthony on turning 👏 👍 🎉
Thank you. Paul had no faith in me 😂. Hope you are keeping well ❤️
Fabulous vlog with great memories!! 😢😢 Miss you guys!! 😢😢 We loved cruising with you, can't wait to catch up soon!! ❤ xx

Just seen you both at Crick. I was a bit star struck and couldn't bring myself to say hello 😂
Aww Lindsey. No. We look forward to seeing our viewers in the flesh. You should have come and said hi. ❤️
Wow such a busy time sure hope that Paul’s eye is getting much better these things take time so be careful. Anthony you’re doing an awesome job taking care of everything. Hope Dexter is doing better ❤. Have a great time at Crick you will get mobbed you pair of Superstars 🤩.
Hey Judith. It was hectic 😂. We had a fabulous time with Tony and Karen. Paul’s eye is getting better thankfully. Crick was amazing. We had a blast. Hope you have a fabulous week ❤️
Thank you 😊
Thanks Jules ❤️
Love all wildlife esp ducklings and swanlings of course anything
That’s what attracted us to boat life Kelly ❤️
Hi both and Dexter, a great video as usual loved it. Sad to say goodbye to friends. Hope your eye has improved now Paul! I’ve got a cataract surgery on 11th June am not looking forward to that. I’m off on holiday for. 8 days to Scotland so will catch up when I’m back. Have great week 😊
Hey Sandy. It really was sad to say goodbye. We are hoping to catch up on Saturday 😊 Paul’s eye is improving. I had the cataract operation done for vision correction, I was gobsmacked how quickly I could see. Have a fab time in Scotland. 🏴 ❤️
Hey Guys. Good to see you all again. Been away in Germany with my work. Being a dog lover.
I hope Dexter is ok. Best wishes to you all. Stay safe ❤
Hey Steve. Glad you enjoyed. Dexter is doing ok but is noticeably slowing and it breaks my heart. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Hi - I am enjoying the videos. Thank you.
I had surgery about two years ago. My right eye almost went blind. My retina tore almost completely. It took several hours to reattach. The surgery was touch and go. The eye is filled with silicone. It will remain filed with silicone for a few more years. The concern is if the silicone is removed the retina will separate again. I am able to see through the eye. Can’t read nor see clearly. The healing takes time. My surgeon continues to be positive with my progress. It will not be 100%. The eye is getting better each month. I was able to get new glasses to see better. The glasses help.
Wishing you both the very best. Great videos. I am glad to have found your channel.
Your eye will get better. Time heals. I look forward to following your adventures.
🙂
Hey Matthew.
Glad you are enjoying the videos. Hope your eye does improve. It really is something we often take for granted.
Paul is hopeful his eye will return to normal, so fingers crossed.
Hope you have a fabulous week ❤️
Oh thank goodness. For some reason I thought you guys were packing it in. I just found this channel!! Yes, saying goodbye is hard because good friends are hard to find. Bless. Another great video!! Thanks for posting!!!
Welcome to the channel Jack. No, we adore boat life and can’t imagine going back to land. We had the best time with Tony and Karen. The cut definitely forges some incredible friendships. Glad you enjoyed. Have a great week ❤️
Fabulous drawing of Charlie!
I really enjoyed this episode! It's always sad to say goodbye to friends you've been spending a lot of time with. And try not to worry too much about your eye Paul, it'll be better soon...although it must be frustrating and disconcerting. People will understand if you need to take a bit of a break to heal. Nothing is more important than your health. Much love ❤️
Hi Gail.
Aww thank you. It really was sad staying goodbye. He is frustrated with his eye but it is slowly improving.
Hope you have a fab week ❤️
Prayers for Dexters health 🙏 ❤
Thank you. He has certainly been slowing. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Hi Anthony and Paul. Firstly it was great to meet up with you again at Crick on Saturday. We had a great day and it was great to catch up with you and Pete and Caroline. Enjoyed the vlog and it’s good that Paul is still able to drive the boat even with his damaged eye. Have a lovely week🥰 Take care. Nick
Great to meet you again too. Thanks for coming over to say hi. We had a lovely, rather hectic weekend. Paul is doing ok and hopefully, will fully gain his sight in the next week or so. Have a fabulous week Nick. ❤️
Hello guys and the amazing Dexter! Dean and I bet you guys are really torn with Tony and Karen casting off for other adventures. We know how important good friends are. Hopefully you guys will meet again soon. We've been thinking of you both and wondering how you guys have been getting on and praying for your special boy Dexter. We are sending warm wishes and prayers for Paul and the healing of his eye! Take care guys and we hope you have a lovely weekend. Your Florida friends John, Dean 🐾 🐾 Hugs and love♥💜💛
Hey guys. It was wrenching saying goodbye but we have made some incredible memories. Paul’s eye is slowly improving. Dexter has been to the vets and has lost a lot of weight and isn’t eating properly. He has had bloods taken but will be a few days to check if there is anything underlying. It breaks my heart to see him slowing down. Hope you guys are keeping well. ❤️
So glad Paul is getting on and healing. We know exactly how you are feeling about your lovely boy Dexter! We send our love and best wishes for his beautiful soul. Bless you both! Take care guys! Your friends John, Dean and our babies that have gone on.
Thank you guys ❤️
❤
Hello Paul, Anthony & Dexter. It's been a while since I've commented. I just turned 74 this year and have been super busy this past year. I've sold my Condo, downsized, and moved back onto the farm where I was born and raised. I remodeled my 24x24 cottage and I'm loving every minute of living back amongst nature. No more noise and busy city streets just 200 acres of peace and quiet. Love the New Boat.
Hey Jessiah. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. Happy birthday for this year. We can totally appreciate the getting back amongst nature and leaving the hustle and bustle behind.
Sounds idyllic. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Hope your eye is healed by now, Paul; I know the wait must be frustrating. Sweet Dexter; hope you get more spring in your step! Happy cruising & much love; Paul, Anthony, & Dexter!💖
Not quite there for Paul’s eye but think it is a matter of a few weeks now. 🤞. Dexter is slowing so much bless him. We have been blessed with some stunning scenery. Have a wonderful week ❤️
Hi guys a beautiful vlog Paul I hope your eye gets better soon love to the gorgeous Dexter hope he’s ok love to you all
Glad you enjoyed Maureen. Paul’s eye is slowly improving. Dexter is noticeably slowing bless him. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Hey Guys i've loved watching all your vlogs which i have binged watched over the last few weeks. You have both brightened my days but i must say Dexter is my fav haha. Hope your eye recovers soon Paul and that Dexter is feeling a bit better to. Can't wait to watch your next vlogs big hugs Tina xx
Aww thank you Tina. Glad you enjoy the vlogs. Dexter is everyone’s favourite bless him. Paul is slowly recovering. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Hey Guys! Hope the plans for Paris in June are still on! Stay well! ❤️🐾❤️
So far Kathy. Fingers crossed. Have a good week ❤️
Paul , you are so talented
He really is Susan (I know I am biased). Have a lovely week ❤️
I’m like Anthony, not a early riser. Paul I truly hope your eye improves quickly. Dexter has the best love and care with the two of you. It’s still chilly here in Canada as well and lots of rain. Take care and cheers.
Definitely not a morning person. 😂. Certainly not before coffee. Paul’s eye is slowly improving. We hope we have given Dexter his best life. We love him so much. It is a bit chilly here too. The weather is variable at best. Canada is on our bucket list. Have a lovely week ❤️
Goodness bit old school but when you are resting in Doors could you put a patch on your eye to relax it . .? I’m no dr feel better Dexter’s lovely ❤
He did have a patch Kelly but kept taking it off 🙄. ❤️
I hope your eye is now better, Paul. I relate to your comment about the doldrums. I’ve been pretty low at times not being able to see. Luckily, mostly healed now. Anthony is great support. Anthony, if you’re like me, as soon as you retire you’ll become a morning person. Ironic but true. Sending love to you all. 🙌😘🐶
His eye is slowly improving thank you Michael. Glad you are on the mend too. I can’t wait to retire to find out 😂. Have a good week ❤️
Yet another lovely vlog, I don’t know how you guys manage to make them week after week! Paul take your time with your eye. You may need further treatments but thanks to our wonderful free nhs they will save your sight and perhaps ( like mine ) make it better than it was before. Much love to you both ( and Dexter obvs) ☮️
Hey Crichie. Thank you. Paul goes back this month for a progress check so fingers crossed, all will be well. Hope you are keeping well. Have a great weekend ❤️
I prefer early morning cruising, often the best part of the day plus quiet. 7 months with Karen and Tony is a long time, maybe you'll catch up at Crick. Dexter still has a great quality of life, although somedays a bit of a worry. Hope to see you on Sunday at Crick, enjoy your time there catching up with friends and supporters xxx
It is when I do it but I am not keen on mornings Susan 😂. It was a long time and we were so sad when we parted. We do constantly worry about Dexter. We love him so much. Glad we got to see you at Crick. ❤️
Love & hugs to you guys and Gorgeous Dexter. Great to see you both again yesterday at Crick .Stay positive Paul,and take care with the healing of your eye….Eyes are so precious. Your videos make life better for so many people ,and are a joy to watch…Anthony,Teddy loved his tummy rub ,thanks❤🐕😜xx
Good to se you too. Glad we got to see you both. Paul is getting there with his eye.
Aww, Teddy is the cutest.
Love and hugs to you guys too ❤️
Enjoyed this week’s journey hope your eye gets better soon Paul Ray.
Thanks Ray. Paul is getting there thank you. Have a great week ❤️
Narrowboating sure seem ultra social! So many friends you meet along the way. It's lovely in this day and age to see it. I hope your eye improves soon Paul. *hugs*
It really is. We have made some incredible memories whilst on the cut and such great friendships. Paul’s eye is slowly improving. Have a lovely week ❤️
Lovely vlog love the pics of your surroundings and the peaceful river
Thank you Brenda. Glad you enjoyed. ❤️
Hiya paul and Anthony enjoyed this one, paul i used to get emotional on the canals when we had to say goodbye to people we met,nothing wrong with that.glad your on the mend.dexter is so cute ❤ love to all cath xxx
Hey Cath. We had such a blast with Tony and Karen. It is always sad to say farewell but I am sure we will see them soon. Have a wonderful week ❤️
I just love traveling with you guys, including Dexter. Love and hugs to him, as I deal with my own 16 year old cat boy. It's hard seeing them slow down, isn't it? Paul, I hope your eye feels and functions better each day. Be well.❤ Leigh, Texas
Thanks Leigh. It really is heartbreaking watching them age. Paul is slowly getting there with his eye. Hope you have a lovely rest of the week ❤️
Very enjoyable, thank you.
Thanks John. Have a good week ❤️
Hope the eye sorts out soon Paul. Nice to see you back in my old stomping grounds. Having grown up in Upholland, walks up and down the canal from Appley Bridge to Parbold were a part f life for me and a friend. Haven't made it to the homeland from my new home in Pennsylvania since before CV. Starting to miss that part and in particular my visits to the Lakes. I know that Post Office you were at well. I think the pub on the other side of the road is the Wheatsheaf? Used to buy clothes at the garden center close to there also on the road that heads up to the M6. They also are a good place for a breakfast or a coffee and cake. I have the same problem with my 16 year old cat. She eats, then throws up. Now she doesn't want to eat. Time for an expensive trip to the vet. Good luck with your eye recovery.
Hey Phil. We loved our time in Appley Bridge. It is a beautiful part of the country. You should definitely make the trip to visit the area again. I think you are right re the pub. We have never been to the garden centre. Maybe we should make a trip on the way back. That is the problem when our pets get older. He had been today and had bloods and his labrella injection.
Hope you have a good week ❤️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked Are you talking about Paul or Dexter? 🙂
😂. Paul needs a labrella injection
I hope your eye continues to improve Paul. Thanks for making the effort to get the video out to us. Lovely scenery shots as usual. Cheers
Paul’s eye is slowly improving. Thank you. Glad you enjoy our journey. Have a great week ❤️
I saw you both in the tent at crick on video they put out weekend boozing lol we went to Wroxham for my husband’s birthday was nice day
We had a fab time 😂. Glad you enjoyed your Bank Holiday too ❤️
Thanks again Guys for our Appley Bridge fix. My wife’s sister and husband used to live on Back Lane for many years and when we visited ‘home’ our kids enjoyed walking down to the Post Office to buy sweets and along the canal. As we’ve said many times before we’re well overdue for a visit but your Northern England vlogs help us to reconnect with some of our favourite places and home. Thank you. Looking forward to viewing the Wigan flight.
Hey Ian. Know Back lane well. It is a beautiful place. You should definitely come over. The Wigan flight was hard work but the views once you are through are spectacular. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
You should get a pirate patch to look extra rafish, I do hope your eye is getting much better
😂. He should Amanda. His eye is slowly improving thank you. Hope you have a good week ❤️
If I ever come back to earth as a dog I hope I'm yours. I have six rescues left as I did have nine . 3 have had the very worst of life in Romania. One spent 14 years in a 2 mtr cage on wet concrete. He has been with me warm as toast on the sofa. He loves being on the soft grass. He has survived over 3 years with good food and love . Still eating and drinking . So life is good. We are buying a boat hopefully soon . I love you two and Dexter. Take care Angi x
Thank you Angi. We like to think we have given him a good life. It is horrible what people can do to animals and their fellow humans. It is good that there are still some kind people in the world. I bet your rescue dogs give you all the love they have. Good luck with the boat buying. We may see you on the cut. ❤️
Great video,now I’ve watched a few of your videos I can see that you’re two genuine great guys,Dexter is adorable and your boat is stupendously stunning
Thank you Shane. Dexter is just the sweetest dog. He totally melts my heart. Glad you like the boat. Have a great week ❤️
So look forward to your video’s. Hoping the injection helps Dexter, love him so much ❤ …when there is a close of him on camera I give him a little stroke ❤ Got fingers crossed your eye will soon be back to normal soon Paul. Thanks for allowing us to share your journey x
Thank you Sue. Glad you enjoy the vlogs. Dexter is slowing but the injections do help. He is just the sweetest dog. Paul’s eye is slowly improving. Thanks for coming along with us. Have a lovely week ❤️
Great vlog guys poor Dexter bless him but the old bugger made another crick hope your eye gets better soon Paul that van costing a lot in repairs but it all the going back and forwards to work hope crick goes well big hug to Dexter
Thanks Nicholas. Our heart melts when we see how slow Dexter is getting. We left him at Paul’s mum and Dad’s this weekend as we didn’t think he would manage all the walking around. Paul’s eye is slowly improving. The van is a necessity unfortunately. Well worth the repairs for us. Crick was a blast. Have a lovely weekend ❤️
I love to see the scenery and architecture on your travels❤️👍. Re the eye, it can take a while to heal. Best to heed the advice you’ve been given👍
Thanks Chris. We have really been treated to some beautiful scenery on the Leeds Liverpool. His eye is slowly improving, hoping it is only a matter of weeks now before his sight is fully restored. Have a lovely week ❤️
Oh bless you Paul, hope you are feeling more positive now. It must be very frustrating for you. And hope Dexter is doing well too! Hope you boys have a fabulous time at Crick 🥰
Hey Lesley. His eye is slowly improving so hopefully, in a few weeks, he will have regained all his sight back. It is frustrating for him.
Dexter is slowing bless him. We absolutely love him so much. We did have a blast at Crick. Wasn’t the same without Dexter but it was the right decision not to take him. Have a great week ❤️
Hope your eye is improving Paul. It must be very frustrating for you to not be able to do certain things you are use to doing. Bless Dexter he's a lovely boy. A great video.
Thanks Mel. He is slowing getting there. He is very frustrated, bless him. Dexter is beautiful. We love him so much. Have a good week ❤️
Hi, gentlemen! Lovely vlog this week. You gave us quite a varied aspect of your daily life. Paul, hope your eye is no longer troubling you. It was painful to see your pain. On the other hand, the view of the wild, blooming garlic was gorgeous. Anthony, will you be needing to work much longer? I recall those days of heading to work, while wishing that I could enjoy the next stage of life. Have a fantastic week!💚💚💚
Thank you Julia. Glad you enjoyed. Paul only has 2/3 of his sight at the moment but hopefully is getting there. The wild garlic this year has been fab given all the rain. I made some wild garlic butter. 😋. I am only 51 so a few more years to go 😢. I don’t want to wish my time away, but can’t wait to retire. Have a lovely week too ❤️
Good video guys. Glad the retina is getting better.
Thank you so much. Paul’s eye is on the mend ❤️
I'm so glad your eye is improving, it does look sore however. Thanks for making the effort to post this week's vlog. I really enjoyed the views and birdsong. All the best to the three of you ❤Stephen.
Hey Stephen. His eye is slowly getting better. Glad you enjoyed the vlogs. The scenery has been amazing. Have a lovely week and take care ❤️
Thanks for the help anything is appreciated when you're on your own! And I made it back from Liverpool in 5 days !
Hope the eyes better soon !
Aww no worries pal. Anytime.
Glad you enjoyed Liverpool. Eye is slowly getting better. Have a lovely week ❤️
Hi...I do hope you eye gets back to normal really soon! This was a lovely trip, meeting all your friends. Thanks for the video with the beautiful nature all around.
It is getting there. We had such a great time with Tony and Karen. Glad you enjoyed the vlog. Have a lovely week ❤️
Hi Paul,Anthony and wonderful Dexter, yes you’re going to miss that wonderful couple amazing when you travel around when you bump into the same people and you have such a great time together. Anyway keep up the good work. Really appreciate you both Cliff from Australia
We really do miss them Cliff. We had an amazing time with them. Hope you have a lovely week and take care ❤️
Thanks guys for this lovely cruise and great look back through last year with your great friends, I hope that your eye is getting better Paul and Dexter is better after his jab. I hope that you three are doing well and have a lovely bank holiday weekend. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Thanks for coming along with us Stevie. It was sad to see the things we had done and the parting of company. Bitter sweet I guess. Paul’s eye is slowly improving. Dexter is slowing despite his injections (although they definitely help him). We had a blast at Crick but missed Dexter being with us. We decided it would be too much for him and he chilled at his grandparents. Have a lovely week ❤️
Nah then, ey up me ducks.
Always sad saying goodbye to friends but at least you've got moving memories on video of fun times together and it's not forever
. Ay a good'un guys, hope your eye is good now Paul and as always give that handsome Dexter a hug from me. 🛳️ 🙂👍
It really was a sad saying goodbye. We do hope to see them again on the cut in the near future. Paul’s eye is slowly improving. Hugs given to Dexter. Have a. Lovely week ❤️
Thanks for this weeks lovely video. Have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend 💙💙💙
Thank you Mandy. Have a lovely week ❤️
I'm from Tennessee in the USA and I enjoy your vlogs soooo much! Please take care of yourself, and I appreciate your diligence and work ethic. You have an amazing family, thanks for sharing your life.
Aww thank you Lisa. Means a lot. He is a bad patient but fortunately his eye is slowly improving. We do feel very blessed with our friends and family. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Happy Saturday! 🥰 I'm sure you had a very busy Friday reconnecting with friends. I hope Paul's eye much better since this was filmed. It's very frustrating if you can't see properly and it's certainly bad to not be able to draw and have to delay commissions. I'm coming to the realization that my second corneal transplant is going to have to happen. Dreading it very much! BTW, Charlie is gorgeous. Well, have a wonderful time at the show and take care! ❤
Hey Dorothy. We had a blast at the Cricket boat show but we are exhausted 😂 Paul’s eye is slowly improving. He is quite frustrated. Oh no. Hope all goes well with your op. It is scary but you know when the time is right. Have a fabulous week ❤️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked Glad you had a great time. It is very tiring even if you are having fun and hanging out with all your friends. Paul's eye does look better but the real test is how it feels and how he sees and that might take more time. Rest up and have a great week. ❤
Yeah. Fingers crossed just a few weeks left before he can see ❤️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked 🤞
Loved the video guys and the artwork was excellent Paul. We lost little Grace last week that you done for us but seeing her on the wall with Henry has made us feel so much better so a massive thanks again. I’m sure when we get a new puppy we will be getting you to do a portrait. Have a lovely bank holiday.
Thanks Mark. Aww glad you enjoyed. So sorry for your loss. We are dreading the day we have to say goodbye to Dexter. Paul will be made up that his portrait brings some comfort. Have a lovely week and take care ❤️
Your eye is coming on nicely Paul….I worry about Dexter guys…plenty of hugs time. Loved the vlog and keep them coming.
Hey Morten. Paul’s eye is slowly improving. We worry about Dexter too. He is slowing bless him. Thank you for the kind words. Have a lovely week ❤️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked were your builders at crick?
They were. Not as popular this year ❤️
Lovely scenery and video as always. Hope the eye is improving. Bless Dexter I hope he’s ok he reminds me so much of my old Labrador Freya she was very slow and our walks became more of a plod in her final year. Hope Anthonys cold is better. I love how people seem to make such good friendships on the canals. I loved following your time with Pete and Caroline last year.
Thanks Andrea. Paul’s eye is slowly healing. Dexter is at the plodding stage bless him. He melts my heart. I am all better thank you. The cut definitely promotes good friendships. We had a blast with both Pete and Caroline and Tony and Karen and are now with Saul and Debbie. Hope you have an amazing week ❤️
Can we see your lay out please like your kitchen where it is thank
Kitchen is at the stern end of the boat, just past the mudroom. ❤️
