I love Anna's hair. The touch of color at the bottom is fun. And the vlog is gorgeous. That is a lovely canal.
You may not be aware, but this is one of the best videos ever posted on the Narrowboat channels. From start to finish, superb camera work, great towpath shots of the boat, and perfectly balanced content. Background music is absolutely delightful - (you sure could teach a few others about that). And the drama- unhappy wet cat, and surprise golden(?) hairdo... 👍👍
That’s just so lovely. Thank you
Purple ends hairdo! : ))
Your wife makes a lovely "Smurfett"....lol
Great vlog, love you both!
I look forward to every video you release and have noticed how much happier you seem to be since the new boat, not that you were unhappy before!. Poor Alice, her swim must have been a shock. I hope she has recovered her poise and grace ha ha ha. Keep posting and keep having a fun life. You have me envious all the time.
“Somewhere pretty” huh? Wherever you two moor is instantly prettier just by your presence! 😊
I love Anna-Marie hair tints, very summery. Hope you enjoyed your sneaky Pub Lunch, well deserved. Give both the cooks the day off. Thanks for taking us with you. Poor Alice, she will be learning to swim beautifully at this rate.. are you sure Munchie didn't push her in.. ha ha
You’re welcome. Thanks for coming along.
You always have such lovely music. Thanks. :)
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.
Munchy did indeed look very worried. :P Fun vlog!
Both looking happy & bubbly 👍👍😎
Thank you
Thank you for taking me back to some old stomping grounds when we were kids at Great & Little Haywood.
You're welcome, thank you for watching
Hi ladies, I just love your Narrow-boat cruising blog, you both make it so interesting, lovely scenery most importantly not too many Lochs unlike some Bloggers who seem to try and go through as many Locks as possible in a day and then keep going on about emptying HIS darn Toilet or almost constantly topping up with water. we all know these things need doing but you girls give your Blog an Quixotic Zist. Bless you both and safe travel wherever you go XXX
Those things do have to be done regularly. Lol. Thanks for watching.
good to see you both well
"It's not that someone makes her tea, because that happens anyway on the boat" LOL
I love the music. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Love keeps shining through.🌺🌸🌼🌺🌺🌼
Good afternoon ladies. Bit late today but very enjoyable as usual, Sunday is not the same without you two, 😂
Yes. Really slow internet here so the upload took awhile.
The Narrowboat Experience worth waiting for, look forward to Sunday’s 😘
so kind
I agree really great videos wish I were young enough to do what you are doing. The country side is really great along the canals
Wonderful clip of our oncoming Shareboat Beeston Castle. A view you never get from the tiller. Thanks so much!
Hello Annamarie and Kath my first video I’ve seen on your channel and enjoyed it so much I gave it a thumbs up and subscribed and hit the bell as well so thanks take care and cheerio
What a nice afternoon surprise in the states. Love you guys."love the locks" chickie.
We always enjoy your videos
Thanks so much
Love those endings they are green dipped like candy. Yes look forward to seeing you guys as well. Well said Tea is tea, we 're all living on a budget. Thank you Kath you are the helmsperson... so your skills are restricted to the duty of moving the cargo, so labor of locks are not your calling... Love the Pace ... who stops the hot rods speed boats who would harass the narrows with rock wakes and rolling through moorings... is that the same channel cops with the notepads?....
Thanks.
Thank you ladies! Anna, I like the highlights. Proper hair dye or did you try Kool-Aid? Kath, I love your laugh. All is right with the world when we get to see and hear a good laugh. Have a great week.
It was just a sample.
Shame about not stopping at the Great Haywood cafe , they do a lovely breakfast. Farm shop, gorgeous, but like you say a budget required. I left an arm and a leg and they still wanted another 48p.......love the hair, and we'll done Kath, ever the diplomat. xx
It’s always that extra 48p. Lol
It appears that the Aussie painter has run out of brushes and begun dipping her locks into the paint to continue her art work. BTW, that was an interesting entrance to the lock at bridge 79. You said it had a nice esthetic, while I thought it was 'interesting'. Hope you made it to the pub for lunch so that you aren't reduced to eating cheese and tomato sandwiches like last week. Say hi to Alice for me, and explain about why she went swimming!
I was outside when she went in. So quick. Not really sure why though. There might have been a dog or what I think is more possible is she was hunting in the grass and lost her footing.
Kath's hair always looks healthy smooth and thick - very jealous!!
Yes it is beautiful
Another brilliant vlog. Love your hair Annamarie x
Thanks so much x
That last lock looked really narrow. Nice piloting!
Great video, good to see you ladies 😀
Thanks
Great video, you were in my local area! Yes the cafe at Great Haywood is lovely and along with visits to Aston Marina one of myself and my wifes regular haunts!
We thought the one at Ashton marina looked posh.
@@TheNarrowboatExperience Not too posh lol! it has a wedding venue, pub and restaurant. Very nice moorings!
Hello from New Zealand, finally we have caught up with all your vlogs, bit of a mammoth effort! We are thoroughly enjoying them, especially your journey down the Llangollen Canal, we did that a few years ago, when we had two weeks holiday on the canals. We just loved it, I really could have up and left and bought a Canal boat!
That must have been awesome.
Hope you don’t mind but I’ve given you a mention in my derwent Dam video as a thank you for being an inspiration for us to get outdoors many thanks x
Thanks.
We passed you again on our return journey. Wish you both well. We have really enjoyed our week on a narrow boat so I am sure we will do it again.
Great vlog girls, wish I was going to the pub with you two.
It was great.
Passed you ladies on our boat the other day at Great Haywood. Anna Maria was in the galley and we shouted a quick hello. Love the new boat x
Excellent, I think I remember that. Hiiii
I love you ladies! Just awesome!
Thanks
Was the blue tint a wee nod towards the Australian flag 🇦🇺 ..
Loving it regardless 😊
Interesting video . Though if your moored on the stretch of the canal and get bored you could always try magnet fishing .
True. But I worry about finding bins once I’ve fished my stuff out.
Thank you for another awesome blog. I assume Alice fell into the canal as I have never had a cat who liked water. Love you hair too. I like to try something different every now and again just for me not anybody else.
Hello Ladies, From Detroit, Michigan. Love you guys!
Thanks
Thank you for showing the top of the canal bridge it look very old .Thanks for the vlog cheers
Earl Grey - check. Croissant with Bonne Maman jam - check. WHERE ARE THE GIRLS?.... Ah, there they are. Great vlog - seeing Shugborogh Estate on the map brought back happy/sad memories. Used to take my dear old mum there quite frequently. (Blond & turquoise - does it for me)
Yes we are right next to it, I feel a through the Hedge coming...
You two are wonderful keep making the videos.
Thanks
Love the music to this week's vlog, really nice songs. I'm only using you tube library at the moment need to branch out out and get something different. I never notice my wife's hair either. Thanks for a great vlog.
Thanks.
Loving the blue tips, the Trent and Mersey looks lovey.
Thanks. Yes it is.
A lovely video and the weather looked lovely. I hope you aren’t too hot at the moment! Thanks as always for sharing your adventure.
Always lovely to see your travels. Hair dye and all :)
thanks
Love the token blue rope shot! You all are out of water, bow is riding pretty high. 😎
Yes it’s so light up the front.
Love the vlog. Glad you like your hair colour Anna! Beautiful scenery. So jealous! Lol😎👍🇨🇦❤️
So Alice decided to take a Sunday bath and Munchy decided on a Sunday nap. Thanks for taking us along, too bad we couldn't join you at the pub. But then I'm on a budget also and a trip to the pub was out of the question for me. 😩
I made the above comment 3 days ago and totally missed my not saying anything about the blue hair color Anna. It wasn't until I was rewatching the video and Kath mentioned the part about her wife's never Smurfette or something to that effect that I realized I didn't mention it. Oh well, they do say that when you get old the memory is the first thing to go, I think? 😳
Hello Girls.....hope you're both well. I'm just catching up with you after a week away with work. I love your channel and look forward to your next upload. great colour in you hair Anna Marie. I'm sure Kath likes it really!
Thanks so much.
Love the hair! Great vlog!
Thanks
Lovely vlog as always and I have to say I really like the hair, it adds to your arty persona! I’m sure Kath will get used to it xx
Thanks
Heading my way it seems :D. Some very nice pubs and restaurants in Stone :).
Annamarie, your hair looks fantastic, you are so hip, plus you work in a world of color so why not? Thank you Cath for the explanation of the mooring rules and a good move taking Annamarie to lunch...
Wow hip- ♥️💙thanks
Your vlogs are always great but especially enjoyed today's as I regularly walk part of that route as near one of my favourite nt properties Shugbrough. The marina you cruised past doesn't like 🐕 😣 not sure about cats 😀 . Love the hair actually think it could have stood a bit more of the colour 😃 All the best to you all.
It’s a lovely area.
Your hair is fabulous, how did Alice come to be swimming? Was she helping with the laundry or did Munchie give her a push? 😉
Hope your lunch was yummy.💕💓
Yes how DID Alice come to be swimming?
No comments on the lovely rope work boat? I can't see any links either. Great Vlog.
Love the hair colour on the tips!
Thanks
Love watching your videos, can't get enough of them. look forward to the next one.
Wow thanks.
Love your hair!!
Liked the vlog hope Alice enjoyed her dip in the canal ( I already know the answer to that 😁 ) Kath was very diplomatic about the hair , I learnt two words when I got married and they stood me in good stead " YES DEAR " .
Take care and be safe .
Yes she was. Lil
A lovely cruise...glad you are enjoying your new boat...thanks for sharing
You're welcome, thanks for coming on the ride
Great little vlog Girls. Don't get to miserly.sell a picture -spend a bit. Life is for fun! 🎨😘
Yes. Good point.
Always a pleasure spend time with you Cat. Be Well.
Oh and I thought the music on this video was very good, it seemed to flow with the video, good job. I wish I could do that for my videos.
Loved the vid, THX. Although my former wife had beautiful auburn hair and usually had her fingers in my thick Scottish mop she once said, "Of all the things I might want, perfect hair doesn't even make the list". Its all subjective I reckon.
Yes good point
Great video lovely to finally meet you period hope to see you again soon enjoy the rest of your trip Garry & Teresa PS Alan Titchmarsh want to do a makeover on your back garden 😂😂
Great to meet you too.
This honestly was a perfect balance at every level... A joy to watch and listen to. Bravo ladies...
Also I'm sure someone will have already mentioned but you did update the score board didn't you?
Great vlog girls! Just cruised that stretch of canal, but despite keeping an eye out for you, somehow managed to miss you.
Happy cruising, and if you fancy it, DO have a trip through Harecastle, its a great tunnel, and nothing like as worrying as it was in the 70s when l first travelled it. Tunnel keepers, one way, and ventilation fans make it easy! If you do, have a good hand torch to examine the interesting details as you pass through.
Lovely video
Hair 😎
Thanks
A beautiful day on the canal. Thank you for sharing your travels.
Well thank you for sharing the journey with us.
Beautiful views of your boat on the water! I just read an article about narrowboat businesses. Lol no more hamburgers for a while
Yes you do have to budget for all contingencies.
I love seeing you girls and enjoy your banter no end! And, if it makes you feel better, I have to be told to notice my wife's hair too! :-)
Lol
Love the hair, I would have picked purple myself . . . . . but that would be on my head.
I'm not sure about Smurf the colour looked more green than blue on my screen.
The tale Smurfet and the tiller hog go to the pub, hope to hear about that next week.
Ah. Poor Alice. 😱. Munchie was so concerned it mad him keel over. 😉😂. Can I be really honest and say, not really sure about the hair. But at the end of the day it’s about what you like. Hope you enjoyed your pub lunch 🥗👍
Thank you for your honesty. It’s not permanent and only a bit of fun.
lovely 😊 passed thru my neck of the woods (indirectly), namely stafford ("round the corner" ok ok, about 40 mins from stafford 😊)
that hair colour is nice 😊
lovely vid as per norm 😊
What a great video girls, you have done well and the musical interludes were really toe-tapping. Must admit Anna, I agree with Kath, not too sure about the hair it doesn't suit your personality really. Oops have I overstepped the mark? Just like an Australian, I speak my mind and sometimes it gets us in trouble! Happy video Girls!
Hi girls loving the vlogs. Really making me think about doing this lifestyle. Anna marie, love your art. My daughter who's at Leeds uni studies art and thinks it cool too! Loving the dip dye hair you're sporting, very chic. And Cath, you just keep that lass under control. Haha!
Love to you both and the mogs! X
P. S. Dudley, my greyhound send his love too. I hope they don't meet though! Hahaha.
Well thank you and your daughter x
Beautiful! nice English weather. Greetings from Tashkent!
Greetings
Wow, greetings to you Carlos. I visited Tashkent, Bukhara and Samarkand back in 1982. Best wishes to you.
Green locks! Haha smurfit 😃
Love a pub lunch 😉
Love your videos - thanks so much for taking the time to make them :) (I don't have enough hair to comment on hair - sorry!!)
I'm a fan of Cafes too😍
Hi, we just passed you and moored up just past the water point. I shouted hello through your side hatch but you must of been sleeping lol
Love your videos. Thank you!
Love the new style vlogs
Great hair btw :)
Thanks so much
Hi Girls really love the way you do things. By the way 1. Is that solar cell panel enough for your needs ?. 2. Please can we see how you Girls are getting along in the work areas and a look at the paintings that Smurffet has done. And are you doing anything in your workshop. Thanks.
Crazy hair but looks good. You both are always smiling and cracking jokes some funny some not lol. Enjoying your VLogs
Some not so funny????
Nice vlog and see kath did not mention your hair 😀 weather looked good for a change both take care 😀😀
Dont think Kath is keen on the hair Anna haha,did she say Smurf/Smurfette lol,love your vlogs Sunday wouldnt be Sunday without these to watch,should do more of them.xx
She was being funny, I think. lol
@@TheNarrowboatExperience Anna i think she was too,lol.xx
Lovely vlog... first rate as always! Annamarie- I love your Faerie Queen hair! :-) You make canal boating look so easy and practically effortless. YOu add much peace and tranquility to this chaotic world...well done you two. Was Alice wet because she fell in? Munchie did look very stressed poor dear! ;-) Cheers from the Adirondack mountains in America.
Thank you. Faerie Queen- I’ll take it.
Very nice 👍
Thanks
Finally! I've waited so long I will now be able to see it in double 🍷🍷😂
Too funny. Hopefully that means you’ll watch it twice too.
I agree with Cath, re hair colour . xx
well well there back good fans were all wondering where yuztwo went off to hmmm HAPPY SUNDAY hope everything is cool and smooth wee haa go go go enjoy
Everything’s good just in an upload deadline so this one took awhile.
@@TheNarrowboatExperience ok good i am happy about that
I see below Anna Marie has been dubbed Smurfette. Gotta love it.
Have you any plans to expand your dollar , or do u have enough power with what you have ... Why did u not install your automatic washer from ewart ... Xxx...tea breaks are a must ,lol....though for me it would be something a little stronger 😜xxx
We get by fine.
Was Alice okay after her swim? I love your hair Annamarie - it looks great and really suits you! Thank you for another fantastic vlog. I love Kath’s feeling on Cafes! Xx
Yes she was fine. It’s more us that worry.
Informative....so if CIT do clock you overstaying your time at a mooring, wot then? A letter to say you did, and a notice to advise you to not do it again, or do they fine you for overstaying, and if so, how much is the fine? And does the fine increase in £££'s for the number of days you overstay for? And would they fine you, even if you are only hiring the narrowboat?
Xx
Love the old iron bridge, love the teal highlights in your hair and great scenery.
Has Ewart been sold yet and have you seen it on your travels?
Greetings from the Thousand Islands Region of Ontario Canada, very close to the Rideau, Trent-Severn and Erie Canals!
I love the hair I also love blue how about next time try that. I was wondering if you have sold your old narrowboat as yet. thanks for posting, always look forward to your post.
good morning from ireland,
