    Having just heard the news about the death of our Queen your opening shots with the drone showing our beautiful countryside accompanied by the beautiful choice of music brought tears to my eyes. Have really enjoyed this trip and the obvious joy you have being in each others company. As you looked through the gates to the Abbey , I went to my god daughters 18th birthday bash in the long lower part of the buildings. Thanks Ed to allow this to happen.

    I've really enjoyed this six part journey down the Thames on Eds' boat the Pipedream. I've been on my sisters boat and on a fabulous canal boat belonging to a dear friend, each boat trip was such a joy and an experience I'll remember for my lifetime. The early morning mist in this episode is my absolutely favourite part of all, just exquisitely beautifully filmed and the music was the icing on the cake thank you Richard and Julia for taking time to share your trip With best wishes Julie

  • @MrGreatplum
    @MrGreatplum 2 года назад +1

    Your boat your reminded me how much more space a less restrictive “loading gauge” gives you when compared to a narrow boat. As much as I love the canals , I do wish that many of them had been built to accept wide beams! (It’s the height as well for someone who is 6ft 2!)

  • @GaryCSchade

    Richard you two should come to Alaska for a look around.
    Stay away from the tours if you do...they're all run by outsiders and you'll rarely meet an Alaskan.
    I can help you plan if you decide to come.
    Thanks for the wonderful journeys

    I’m quite sad that’s ended myself, what a fantastic time away. The drone footage at the beginning was outstanding, it reminded me of travelling from Woking to Horsham for a few years, some morning coming over the top of Newlands Corner, seeing low fog engulfing Shere and area, never got any less magical each time. I loved the ending recap too. And again, the editing/ music was amazing. Hats Off to Ed.

    Hi Richard and Julia, having watched your most recent boating videos on The English Couple, I had to go back and watch these, yes all six episodes - every one was wonderful! Richard your filming (and choice of music) on this series and the drone footage on this episode in particular was phenomenal, I love how you caught the mist it looked so beautiful! I really loved how sentimental this series was! Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable watch over my last two Norfolk rainy evenings! I feel so sad the series has ended - I look forward to discovering more! 😊

  • @bullettube9863
    @bullettube9863 2 года назад +1

    When I worked part time at a marina people were always asking what would be a good boat for them. The owner always told them ask everyone here about their boats and what they liked and didn't like about them. He also said you should ask them if they had a boat before the one they own now, and if they did, why they decided to sell it on. The answer can be very informative! The same thing applies to anything if you think about it, houses, cars Rvs, computers etc. Boaters, like RVers and motorcyclists love to talk about their "babies" and are always happy to talk to people interested in joining them. Let's face it, your boat trip is probably the best advertisement for boating ever and the boating industry should pay you for these videos!

    What beautiful opening drone footage, when I started watching this video, King Charles III was just saying his speech & it seemed so fitting & it was very emotional! Beautifully edited video! These episodes were so enjoyable and well done, thank you so much for sharing this adventure, it was beautifully done! I am so sorry that you get negative comments, but I hope that the positive comments and people that love and support you both make up for them. I'm so excited for you both planning on perhaps getting a boat, no matter what it is...good luck and enjoy! Thanks again, take really good care of each other, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x💖 (Canada)

    I accidentally found your Thames exploration video's (March 2024), and enjoyed them all, love your sense of humours (that's both of you). I'm a Pompey boy and an armchair boater. When I get those 6 numbers, or even 5 I'm not that fussy, I'd love to cruise the UK canal & river systems on my own boat. Maybe live on it and get away from it all. I need to hit that subscribe button and watch a few more of your video's.
    Happy Cruising guys.

    Now if it stops raining this evening we may go and do our walk down to the Thames. A choice of a shorter walk to the Tilehurst Station section. Or the more exciting Mapledurham Lock section which includes a field of cows. So lovely to meet up with Richard and the Lovely Julia on the Beach walk. And Joe. David and Lily.

    Have just resubscribe to your channel after taking a break. Looked back at your recent videos and saw the Thames series. Definitely going to give these a go as it will take me back to 1985 when myself and 3 other uni mates hired a narrowboat on the Thames for a week. We started at Abingdon and got as far as Windsor, I seem to remember. I still don't know how 4 student blokes managed to hire the boat in the first place, perhaps Hoseasons or whoever were more lax back in the day! Anyway I'm looking forward to watching the videos, thanks in advance Richard.

      Just binge watched the first 5 episodes, got this last episode to watch another time. Very enjoyable indeed, excellently put together. We must have been motoring along to get to Windsor and back, and I remember wishing we had gone for a cruiser because they continually passed us on our way to London. Got us into trouble a couple of times with the river police as we tried to keep up! Remember mooring up at Henley and Maidenhead on the way. Have you read or watched 3 men in a boat, I seem to remember they did the trip the other way round? Anyway excellent vlogs and since I last subscribed you and the lovely Julia seem to have got closer!
