We watched the BBC News, saw the flooding and the Dunham Massey Canal Breach. We hope you all are ok and everyone is safe. Enjoyed seeing everyone together and happy!
Hi John, yes it’s awful isn’t it! Thankfully nobody got hurt, it’s a miracle no-one was moored there! We have friends there too, we’re just glad they are ok xx
🌬️❤️ Happy Very Prosperous New Year 🎉 I’m a huge fan of your Channel 👍 Your Christmas Decorations And Your Home Are Majestically Beautiful 🌟 Thank You For Sharing Your Adventures 🙌 The Historic Treasures Of Your Country Are Spectacularly Awesome 🌬️🥰
Aww thank you so much Wendy, so lovely of you to say! We love the old bridges and wharfs, there’s so much history along the canals! It’s lovely having you onboard with us Wendy, Happy New Year to you too! xx
Oh, those reflections are just awesome to see! Saying prayers for those who are stuck in the Bridgewater Ye 'Ol No. 3 area. The footage we saw was horrific. Hate to see anyone stuck there, but glad you guys don't seem to be affected where you are. Blessings to all.
Hi Randy, Happy New Year to you both! Yes those reflections were amazing! The Bridgwater breach is awful isn’t it, thankfully nobody has been hurt and people are safe, that’s the main thing! xx
Looks like you had a great start to the New Year🎉 So glad you got to spend some time with Craig. Your evening with Heidi looked like a lot of fun.The bridge reflections of #60 was like gazing into another world, and the crossover bridge was just beautiful as well. The new camera is doing a really good job, everything is so nice and clear👍 Take care see you next time 🤗❤️
Thank you Donna, ye it was lovely spending time with Craig, but it went so quick! That bridge reflection was just perfect! 😍 Love those Snake bridges! Glad you like the new camera, I’m still getting used to the settings lol, but getting there. Looking forward to what 2025 has in store for us all eh! Thank you! xx
Lovely video, and thank you for your continued videos through Christmas and New Year, we have really enjoyed following you. All the best for 2025. , and thank you again.
Happy New Year Julie & Martin! Wishing you an amazing 2025 filled with adventure and happiness….. cheers all the way from the Northwest Territories, Canada🎉
Hello to you both. Just to let you know that we tried your HotPot recipe last night. Well it was so delicious we couldn’t stop picking after our main meal. Fortunately we made enough for two meals so we have another to come. The suet pastry was just divine and the gravy was soaked up by the potatoes. Fabulous. Recipes like that are always welcome. Keep up your hard work with your videos. Have a great 2025. 🎉
Hi guys All the best for 2025 , enjoyed watching the last year , cheers from a tropical 33 degrees cold season day in Thailand , Regards Davy 🏴🇹🇭
Loads of run with the Narrow Boat Pirate, music that sounds a lot like it is by Heidi Manning and then proudly exclaiming you are wearing your strap on... Influence?... Happy New Year guys Tim & Jalika, Malaysia.
Haha there’s always rum when Heidi’s around ooh-arrgh! 😜 You’re not the first to say that music sounds like Heidi’s, I’ll take that as a compliment as we love her music, but it isn’t, just a similar vibe I think. Lol re the strap on 😂😂😂 Happy New Year Tim & Jalika! xx
Happy New Year!🎉 It’s so good to see you folks with Rhapsody all decorated and friends along to celebrate! A friend and I got to Graceland (an exhibition, not the mansion) just before the New Year and I was thinking of you folks. Cruise safely and happily all year!
Oops! Sorry about your coffee Fiona! 🤭 It’s my windlass strap! As Heidi would say ‘don’t be rude’ lol 😂 And a very Happy New Year to you too! Thank you! xx
Just managed to catch up with your video after a trying day yesterday. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you both. It is good to see the affection you have for each other. Anyway, back to the video. You commented at the beginning on the 'fog'. I thought of it as atmospheric because of the way your video caught it. Cracking photography, as usual, regarding the reflections. Your new camera looks good. Loved your New Year celebrations. Just as an aside, I had a great 80th birthday on 28th. I saw cousins I hadn't seen for over 4 years. Sorry to bore you with that. Wishing you, and all your family and friends, al the best for the future. Looking forward to seeing the TV program in April, but will be following you as usual in the meantime. Love, Barry from Essex xx
Aww Barry. HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY!! So pleased you had a good time! How lovely to see relatives you haven’t seen for a while, fantastic! 🎉🍾🥳 Happy New Year to you too, looking forward to what 2025 has in store for us all! xx
Glad to see you all having a great New Year bash,🥳🥳🙉🍾🥂🥂, was great to see Craig and Yourselves over Christmas, here's hoping that you have more safe travels and adventures in 2025 ❤.
Cold and frosty weather to ring in the New year! I hope you guys are OK. I see on the news that the Bridgewater Canal has been breached. Stay warm. Cheers.
Hi Neil, yes thankfully we are not near the breach, the Bridgwater canal was in our plans for this year’s cruising, but we’ll have to rethink. We’re just glad that nobody got hurt and everyone is safe over there, it’s awful! Happy New Year Neil! xx
Happy New Year Julie and Martin, I will be watching your videos throughout the year, every Thursday evening. Hope you have been okay the past few days with all the icy conditions, this morning everything here was white over with ice. I saw that canal breach yesterday it looked shocking so hope that hasn’t happened near where you are. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, love and best wishes
Hi Edward, no we are quite safe, thank you for thinking of us! The breach is awful isn’t it, we’re just thankful that nobody got hurt and that everyone is safe! Looking forward to what 2025 has in store for us all! Thanks Edward! xx
Great vlog glad you had good Christmas with your son I was with my step sister and on own rest off Christmas and new year nice to see Hidi and her friend and you having fun drinking loads off rum bet there lots with Hidi there I got a late present off bottle rum dropped off to day. Please make sure you got full tank diesel full tank water and a boat full off food for two weeks they say snow and very cold happy new year both I just getting tomorrow tea started your hot pot meal you did x
Aww thank you for thinking of us, we stocked up a couple of days ago, so got plenty of diesel and water, so we’re all good! Ooh let me know how the hotpot goes! Thanks Nicholas! xx
Hi Ruth & David, our plans did involve the Bridgwater, but not until later in the year, so we will just revise our route. It’s awful isn’t it, just so glad everyone is ok and nobody got hurt! xx
Hi Jill, I don’t think anything has happened to Andy, he works quite a bit, and being in the catering sector, I would imagine he is just at work so not in the videos. Thanks Jill xx
Yes, Andy is at work, but quite a way away. Also, his car broke down and needed extensive & expensive repairs, which has delayed him getting back to the boat.
Hi Julie and Martin ! Another relaxing and enjoyable episode. I love left overs....easy !! Believe it or not it's going to freeze in North Florida next week. Cheers!
Cold, wet, frosty, whatever the weather throws at you guys, you counter it with a vengeance! The boat looked more like a bar or pub in this one, lol! No wonder pirates know how to find you, woohoo! ❤🎉❤
Happy new year to you both. Love watching your adventures and vlogs and beautiful video work Julie, your reflection pics are beautiful. Great to see Heidi joining your party, what a fun time. We are travelling Australia it’s hot dry and windy here such a contrast of worlds. ❤🎉
Hi guys, wow, you two really know how to party, looks like you had a fabulous Christmas-New Years with a lot of fun friends and laughs. We made up your hot pot New Years day and we absolutely loved it, so much so it's now on our regular menu and will be known as Julie's hot pot. I saw a little doco on the new Wallis and Gromit movie and it looks like Wallis and Gromit spend a bit of time on a narrow boat I can't wait to see that.🤣😂 Our New Years gig went down really well. we must have done something right as the bloke booked us up for next year on the spot, so we were happy about that. Stay safe guys and thank you Julie for posting the hot pot recipe, YUM MO.👍🏻👍🏻❤❤🍲🍹🍺🍸
Aww so so pleased you liked the hotpot, it definitely is YUMMO! 😋 Yes you’re right, Wallace & Grommit are on a narrowboat, it’s quite funny ….. especially the ‘chase’ 😂😂 Great to hear that your NYE gig went well, nice one! 😃 Happy New Year Geoff! xx
Hi Julie and Martin. What a great way to see in the new year. Love watching Heidi and of course Bonnie. The famous Rum Wench. Shame about the weather. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe. Happy new year.😊
Hi Sue, yes we’ll be heading down Heartbreak and towards the Middlewich canal, it’s awful what’s happened on the Bridgwater, thankfully nobody has been hurt and everyone is safe! Happy New Year to you too Sue! xx
Happy New Year Julie and Martin. Thank you for the speedy uploads of Christmas and New Year. It was lovely to see the happy times. Your son is a lovely big guy. He looks like both of you. As usual I enjoyed the chemistry between yourselves, it warms my heart. I don’t know how you keep up with everything ie editing, cleaning -life - but I’m glad you do 🤩. Looking forward to future journeys vicariously through you. Big hugs to both of you 🤗🤗🤗🥰🇨🇦 - Isabel
Aww thank you Izzy, receiving comments like this really makes everything worthwhile, thank you! We’ll be doing one last current video, our next journey and putting away the Christmas decorations, before going back to our regular videos, with a couple of extra videos for a bit of variety. It’s so good to hear that you are enjoying our little vlogs, thank you Izzy and Happy New Year to you too! xx
Hi I am glad that you are ok and I am sorry that the other narrowboat freands are in the canal Breach hope they get help soon. And a happy new year to you from Brian w.germany
Cold, wet, frosty, whatever the weather throws at you guys, you counter it with a vengeance! The boat looked more like a bar or pub in this one, lol! No wonder pirates know how to find you, woohoo!
Oh Cindy, so sorry to hear this, hope you’re feeling better now! Well at least you can tick that off the list, Covid DONE for 2025, got it out of the way early, so a virus free year ahead now! 😃 Happy New Year Cindy! xx

Happy New year guys love the bridge reflection looks beautiful I and I loved all the other sunsets in your vlogs I got a few sunsets myself I love sunsets x
Nice to see my two favorite sets of boaters have a nice safe new years. wishing you all a great 2025. love the views haha be safe and enjoy life!🥳🥃☔🏴☠
Happy 2025 to you both! Love watching you from across the pond🇨🇦. You really make it look so easy and are naturals in front of the camera. Miss the UK in many ways, so you fill that fix for me. Looking forward to seeing many more in the coming year. Thank you.X
What a beautiful video; the reflections were amazing. The new years celebration was spectacular. It was great seeling your enjoy the holiday with your youngest son. Always great seeing Heidi. Your videos are well presented and of the best quality. Martin is such a hoot. Well done.
What great holiday season you’ve had. Yes the weather was rather gloomy but it didn’t seem to dampen your spirits! Wishing you a very happy and healthy new year full of fun and adventures xx 🎉
Hi guys I don't know if you know but there's been a breech at little bollington I've just seen it on Taylor's aboard a narrowboat if you search for them on RUclips you might be able to see the footage from their drone x
Hi Pam, yes, the Taylor’s are friends of ours, we have seen the footage, it’s awful isn’t it! Just thankful that everyone is safe and that nobody has got hurt! Thanks Pam! xx
Hi Julie & Martin, You say the Taylors are friends of yours, but if you have read any of my comments on their channel, you will see I am not a fan. I personally found them irresponsible cruising against red board warnings on the Thames, Orange warnings on the Severn or Avon, and nearly capsized. They broke their tiller due to cruising in strong currents, but worst of all for me was when they just abandoned their cat on the canal when it went off. Sorry to you for that, but you are responsible boaters. In my book, they are not. Because of the Bridgewater disaster, they are caught up in, Diane has cancelled their CRT licence direct debit letting the likes of you to pay to keep the waterways open and safe. Regards, Barry
@ oh good grief, I didn’t know that! They are fellow vloggers, we don’t know them that well, have only met them twice. I know what you mean re the rivers, we always respect the rivers and never go near them September to the end of March! xx
Happy New Year, Glad to see you enjoying festivities with Capt Bonny and First mate Heidi of the Rum Wench, I follow their adventures also. The bridge reflection was incredible.
Hi Ian, we had planned on going onto the Bridgwater later in the year, but will need to revise our plans. So glad that no-one was hurt and that everyone is safe, it’s awful isn’t it! Thank you for thinking of us Ian! xx
Brilliant vid Julie britened up 2 January a bit of a low. Good to see Heidi and glad you spent new years eve with her she is so naughty so are you ready with strap on 😂
Hahaha, well I did have 12 locks to do, so needed it! 😜 Yes Heidi is a bit naughty lol, we had such a giggle! 🤭 xx Glad you enjoyed the video, another subtle change … did you notice? xx
@@JulieandMartinonRIB julie its saturday night but turning to rain on sunday mondays ok there on god bless ya i will give up dates on your vlogs to keep you in formed on how your coming across you looked good on the big screen in ireland jason sain he his rita son she has 3 sons all grown up now anyway your both stars
Got a quick message from Hedi who had been out hiking - be back next week. THEN viewed NYE and your guests the Rum Wench and first mate Bonny❤❤ suprise. Two of the three narrowboats I follow in one vlog😅🎉. Would be spooky? If you also knew David - Cruising the Cut The UK weather reports made to Aus! The canal breach OMG. What was/is the temperature now? Mid 30's for A tomorrow (sorry). Safe adventures for 2025, thank you for 2024 and looking forward to 2025🥳Jan
Aww glad we surprised you Jan! We do know David, but he keeps himself more to himself lately, so not seen him for a while! Yes, the breach is dreadful, we’re just thankful that no-one was moored there and nobody has been hurt! Everyone is stage which is the main thing! Happy New Year Jan! xx
Can't imagine Heidi and rum in the same sentence. 😏 Looks like you had a great evening. I watched Barbie. It was pretty cold so not many fireworks but since it was cold my newly adopted indoor/outdoor cat was inside with the other two and me. Smart boy. 😊 Hopefully you aren't anywhere near the Bridgewater breach. What a terrible tragedy and mess. For us they predict a polar vortex hitting mostly north and east of me... Looks like it will affect the UK as well. 🥶 I bought baking potatoes so I'm going to try one with beans. Happy New Year! ❤
Hi Dorothy, lol, can’t imagine Heidi and rum NOT being in the same sentence lol 😂 It’s very cold here too, spending time indoors for sure. Although, we will have to cruise tomorrow to beat a stoppage, so just hoping it doesn’t snow before then 🤞 Keep warm Dorothy, that polar vortex sounds like it could be harsh! Yes the Bridgwater breach is awful, just thankful that nobody has been hurt and all are safe! Ooh let us know how the jacket potato with cheese and beans goes, hope you like it! Speak soon Dorothy! xx
@@JulieandMartinonRIB Snow starts tomorrow AM and goes through Monday PM and I'm in the heart of it. The cold is already here. I'm not going out at all!
Don’t blame you, stay in and keep warm! 🥰 We have had lots of heavy rain and then snow overnight, was all very white this morning, but going slushy now. Keep warm! xx
When the towpath changes from one side of the canal to the other, a Snake bridge, also known as a Turnover bridge, allows you to walk from one side to the other. They were especially designed to allow the horses to pull a boat without having to untie the rope and have to re- tie once through the bridge. Such a clever piece of engineering and so beautiful to look at too! Thanks! xx
Hi Keith, not that I know of no. Some people have a traditional roast dinner on New Year’s Day, similar to the turkey roast for Christmas Day, but not heard of having a meal for luck! Thank you Keith, Happy New Year! xx

Aww thank you! xx
Hi guys I don't know if you know but there's been a breech at little bollington I've just seen it on Taylor's aboard a narrowboat if you search for them on RUclips you might be able to see the footage from their drone x
Hi Pam, yes, the Taylor’s are friends of ours, we have seen the footage, it’s awful isn’t it! Just thankful that everyone is safe and that nobody has got hurt! Thanks Pam! xx
Hi Julie & Martin,
You say the Taylors are friends of yours, but if you have read any of my comments on their channel, you will see I am not a fan. I personally found them irresponsible cruising against red board warnings on the Thames, Orange warnings on the Severn or Avon, and nearly capsized. They broke their tiller due to cruising in strong currents, but worst of all for me was when they just abandoned their cat on the canal when it went off. Sorry to you for that, but you are responsible boaters. In my book, they are not. Because of the Bridgewater disaster, they are caught up in, Diane has cancelled their CRT licence direct debit letting the likes of you to pay to keep the waterways open and safe.
Regards,
Barry
@ oh good grief, I didn’t know that! They are fellow vloggers, we don’t know them that well, have only met them twice. I know what you mean re the rivers, we always respect the rivers and never go near them September to the end of March! xx
Happy New Year, Glad to see you enjoying festivities with Capt Bonny and First mate Heidi of the Rum Wench, I follow their adventures also. The bridge reflection was incredible.

Got a quick message from Hedi who had been out hiking - be back next week. THEN viewed NYE and your guests the Rum Wench and first mate Bonny❤❤ suprise. Two of the three narrowboats I follow in one vlog😅🎉. Would be spooky? If you also knew David - Cruising the Cut
The UK weather reports made to Aus! The canal breach OMG. What was/is the temperature now? Mid 30's for A tomorrow (sorry). Safe adventures for 2025, thank you for 2024 and looking forward to 2025🥳Jan
Aww glad we surprised you Jan! We do know David, but he keeps himself more to himself lately, so not seen him for a while! Yes, the breach is dreadful, we’re just thankful that no-one was moored there and nobody has been hurt! Everyone is stage which is the main thing! Happy New Year Jan! xx
Lovely video happy New year 👍
Aww thank you Alan, and you too! xx

Thank you Edward, Happy 2025! xx
Happy New Year!!! 😘🥰💥❤
Aww thank you Nan, and you too! xx
Can't imagine Heidi and rum in the same sentence. 😏 Looks like you had a great evening. I watched Barbie. It was pretty cold so not many fireworks but since it was cold my newly adopted indoor/outdoor cat was inside with the other two and me. Smart boy. 😊 Hopefully you aren't anywhere near the Bridgewater breach. What a terrible tragedy and mess. For us they predict a polar vortex hitting mostly north and east of me... Looks like it will affect the UK as well. 🥶 I bought baking potatoes so I'm going to try one with beans. Happy New Year! ❤
Hi Dorothy, lol, can’t imagine Heidi and rum NOT being in the same sentence lol 😂 It’s very cold here too, spending time indoors for sure. Although, we will have to cruise tomorrow to beat a stoppage, so just hoping it doesn’t snow before then 🤞 Keep warm Dorothy, that polar vortex sounds like it could be harsh!
Yes the Bridgwater breach is awful, just thankful that nobody has been hurt and all are safe! Ooh let us know how the jacket potato with cheese and beans goes, hope you like it! Speak soon Dorothy! xx
@@JulieandMartinonRIB The prediction now is 15F during the day and 3F at night for two days next week. 🥶Maybe snow, maybe ice. 🙄
Ooh stay safe and warm Dorothy! xx
@@JulieandMartinonRIB Snow starts tomorrow AM and goes through Monday PM and I'm in the heart of it. The cold is already here. I'm not going out at all!
Don’t blame you, stay in and keep warm! 🥰 We have had lots of heavy rain and then snow overnight, was all very white this morning, but going slushy now. Keep warm! xx
blimey its a bad weather day we got snow saturday it says here
Yes, looks like we might get some too! xx
Happy New Year
Same to you too, thank you so much! xx
i got drunk watching you looks great fun
😂😂
Hi... what do you mean when you say snake bridges? I've never heard that term. I'm in the US though.
Oh...I should have waited 30 seconds for you to explain. Haha
When the towpath changes from one side of the canal to the other, a Snake bridge, also known as a Turnover bridge, allows you to walk from one side to the other. They were especially designed to allow the horses to pull a boat without having to untie the rope and have to re- tie once through the bridge. Such a clever piece of engineering and so beautiful to look at too! Thanks! xx
Haha, 😂🤣 xx
Do English people eat a new year's day tradional meal for luck?
Hi Keith, not that I know of no. Some people have a traditional roast dinner on New Year’s Day, similar to the turkey roast for Christmas Day, but not heard of having a meal for luck! Thank you Keith, Happy New Year! xx
Who is Gabby?
Hi Dale, she is Heidi’s friend, they had been hiking for a few days, I think you’ll see Gabby in Heidi’s next video xx
