    What's with black and white stills ? Besides being annoying, I pay for colour TV.

    • @onedaymoreaboard
      @onedaymoreaboard  2 месяца назад +13

      You seem to be easily annoyed Gordon, and in the minority, judging by the many other comments praising the black and white photos we get from our viewers. I’m not sure how our free to you videos can be blamed for what you pay for your colour TV, but I’m sure there are many other RUclips channels totally in colour that are more suited to you. Thanks for watching 😊

      It is called artistic content. Black and white pictures are often more striking than the colour equivalent. You are not forced to watch. If you do not like, simply do not watch. There are thousands, if not millions, of other RUclips vlogs.

    Hi Pete and Caroline ,
    After the first winding hole it came to my mind, my father use to say ....
    ...❤ " I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me to see if I was looking back at you " ❤ ....lovely videos and music from both of you and your lovely tailwaggers Poppy and Hamish 🐾🐾
    Viewing all ...warms my heart.🦘🚐🌦

    I love the name Professor Pat Pending, I used to be a big fan of The Wacky Races, my favorite character being Dick Dastardly's dog called Mutley - what a great laugh he had.
    Pete makes winding look so easy!
    At 12:22 it is indeed a sad sight, I wonder what storey unfolded before the boat sunk
    I do appreciate how much you actually film and the amount of editing you have to do to make such a lovely video to watch.
    I’m sure narrowboat life can’t be 100% perfect, but thanks for sharing all the good parts with us.
    As always, an entertaining vlog and a pleasure to watch
    Thanks for sharing 😊😊

      Muttley was a favourite o famine too Gordon, that laugh was something wasn’t it! Pete’s winding the boat sped up 20x did look really easy didn’t it! We went through the stretch with the sunken boat again last week and it’s been removed now, but it had been there for quite a while, honestly to a mamma duck and her ducklings. It’s always a sad sight as you know someone has lost their home 😞

We have a small cooling unit though which is quite effective! We shouldn’t be complaining as we’ve been waiting for the warmer weather for a while now! Hope you and the boss are keeping well 😊❤️

Alex always adds another level of entertainment to the vlogs! He likes visiting but he much prefers life on his big cruise ship. Hes signed another contract for the winter so he’ll be heading off to start rehearsals in a couple of months. It’s good to have him around between contracts though, and to carry the doggie backpack. Hamish would be smiling in that if he could, he’s so content in there 😊

    The actual boating part wouldn't change that much but the logistics would be very difficult without the tech. I'm pretty sure that is the same view that Wes and Amy had recently. The view of the field and the church steeple looked the same. Fun to watch Alex deal with his giant sandwich. Cutting it in half was a good move. 😊 I didn't know that Hamish was that old. He seems to be doing really doing well. Tired is a factor in my old life too. ❤

      We would love not to have to rely on the technology, but it certainly helps! You’re right, and vey eagle eyed, that’s the same spot that Wes and Amy were moored recently. We caught up with them last week heading in to Warwick and now we are both heading on the same direction so I’m sure we will leap frog each other a few more times. It’s always good to catch up with friends unexpectedly! Alex always adds another level of entertainment to the vlogs! And it was good having him here to carry the doggie back pack.

    • @onedaymoreaboard
      @onedaymoreaboard  2 месяца назад +1

      That’s a very good idea for a future video! As for our favourite, I think it has to be the Llangollen for the variety. The tunnels, the lift bridges, the aqueducts, and the lovely little towns and villages along the way. You can hire from Whitchurch or the Trevor Basin or Chirk I think. But the stretch from Braunston down to Oxford is also lovely and one of our favourites too. So hard to choose. You can rent from Braunston, Napton or Oxford for that area. Hope this helps with your research! Happy travels 😊

      Poppy is certainly a character, and very vocal! I think the Gongoozler’s breakfast baguettes are enough to last for a week! But it has to be done when you’re passing through Braunston! Some of the solo guitar music is Alex’s. I usually note it on the screen when it’s his 😊

      There are many, many bridges across the canal network with these lay-bys close by, and we always make sure we are not obstructing the road or a farmer’s access gates, so it’s all done legally. Lots of boaters and towpath walkers use this sort of parking. Thanks for watching 😊
