Hope you had a nice birthday fish n chips with Leon 😀🐟🍟Lovely to see the grandkids again, I bet you miss them! Really good to meet up with Jeeves and m'lady, haven't seen them since the Thames! 😅 Thanks Will
I can't prove if it's either. I'd like to see a working model of our Earth where water sticks to a ball instead of, from my perspective, it needs to be contained.
Loved this, you're funny! I want to drive a train over a canal bridge right when you're going under it and shout out of my tiny window. "Willspotters!" 😅
I will wee have fooling East Yorkshire were I live is bad all over never mind gust get on wthe it and look the lovely country side it was nice to see your grandchildren for you all the best for now 😊
shrugbrough is where Lord Patrick of Lichfield lived , the Anson family big sailor's in the old days. the lock by pack horse bridge , the property next to it was a nice eating place in its day , private owned now , lovely area though , thanks for the trip
Bridge 69 yey it came along eventually as did bridge 70 if you're that way inclined lol. No m6 this trip. 😅 All the dry bits this trip Stay dry Kev the brinklow kayaker😊
Have to say that journey was really nice despite the rain and that pesky sun 😁😂🤭 Do they have a bag full of boaters that they empty at some places once in a while? 😂😂😂
Rugeley's one of our favourite stop overs on our travels. Glad you liked it too. The Wetherspoons at the top of town is in an old cinema which looks like it was built in the 30s. Interesting vlog.😊
There’s nothing worse than smelling something burning 😩you can never settle. Great vlog again Will and get some logs on the fire it’s getting cold 🥶🎧👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Interesting part of the canal will, despite everywhere so wet. Gd on ya wi yur grandkids they grow up so quick too, our youngest one is 13! Can't believe it! Its like they all start to catch u up! 👍👍
Hiiii Bill, loving the vlogs as always. Ohhhh I have picked up your habit of shouting out "train spotters" when I see a train on other vlogs we watch 😂 Fanny is getting annoyed with Keith now 😂 Did you ever find out what the burning smell was? 😮
@NarrowboatWill Ah that's good it wasn't anything inside. I remember being in the car to a car show and smelling a burning clutch....we were all worried then. But it turned out to be outside from another car. Hmmm no they are not....not when Keith shouts out trainspotters in a NarrowboatWill's voice 🤣😂
omg WILL , ive been watching vids on the trent rivers , & Wow , they are really are high , i could'nt believe how high torksey & lincoln & dunham bridge & trent lock are , that's scary , hope you find somewhere high to park mr van , ive never ever seen so many floods , be careful & take care Will .
When I was on the Thames at Henley. There was a plaque on the wall with flood marker from 1841 I think it was much higher. Still, it's bloody scary. I don't why people risk staying on..😬
You are fortunate. I am anosmic (no sense of smell) so could not pick up on smells such as burning.....But in certain situations it is an advantage.....All the best Tricia and Neil......
So that cemetery so close to the canal, it was only just above water level so what happens when they dig the graves are they all waterlogged? Six feet down and splash!
Hi will i see that the towpaths are nothing more than muddy tracks . Yet again . Years ago boaters used to empty the ashes from the fire on them to keep the mud down a bit.. Unfortunately those days are long gone.... people who use the towpaths always moan about them but do nothing to put them right .. .I had many people who said that the council should do something about it.???? When you explain that it is not down to the council to repair them ..but it's down to the c.r.t . make the nesecery repairs .a look of puzzlement used to appear on their faces...many were under the impression that it cost nothing to live on a narrow boat . and it was free of charge.. Many times I was told to get a job and to stop living on benefits..??? Obviously I told them to turn up at 5 30 am and accompany me to work..I always said that they might get home at 9 30 pm. Six days a week.. Being self employed . you have to plan for the future.. especially today. But to be honest I would not change a thing if I had the chance to live my life over again... Once you have experienced life on the canals ..you will find that you miss all the days you had spent on the canals of this country .. You won't care about the weather ..you won't care about .struggling to move your boat..or the fact that you could run out of fuel.food and water .if you are not careful.. But the main thing that you will miss is the sense of freedom that the canals give you where else can you move home . If you get fed up with the views... Just by turning on the engine .and untying the ropes...????? Anyway will what else can I say about the videos you put out other than brilliant .. you never disappoint . what I really like is the fact that you show people the up side and the downside . When it comes to living on a narrow boat. Which is a eye opener for many would be narrow boaters...I have watched many videos from people who have a tendency to skirt around the harsh reality of narrow boat life. Anyway will keep warm and dry .. safe and well . And it's a filthy thumbs up 👍👍👍👍.. from me.
Will I am only stating the truth as I see it for over sixty years I have watched the decline of the standards of the canal system . from the towpaths to the lock's . They are in need of repair ..I noticed that the other day on the Oxford canal.. which came as a bit of a shock to me..I have never seen so much mud and dog crap .as was visible on a small section of the towpath .. what is wrong with people pick it up . because the next time they walk down the path they are bound to tread on some. Anyway will . things can only get better for boaters . I sometimes wonder why the boat hire companies have not started to complain about state of the paths and locks . surly. It must be putting people off from taking a narrow boat holiday..on one of our canals.

Thank you so much for this great comment. I'm heading up North to be near my grandkids and kids. Have a good day. 👍
Rainbows prove there's a flat earth Will ..surely 😮 I've heard of a dome mentioned also😅 13:10
I can't prove if it's either. I'd like to see a working model of our Earth where water sticks to a ball instead of, from my perspective, it needs to be contained.
you want to get some waterproofs ,for when it rains ,saves trying to dry clothes
That would would make perfect sense. Shame I don't have any. 🤣🤣🤣
Loved this, you're funny! I want to drive a train over a canal bridge right when you're going under it and shout out of my tiny window. "Willspotters!" 😅
🤣🤣🤣 that would be funny.
I will wee have fooling East Yorkshire were I live is bad all over never mind gust get on wthe it and look the lovely country side it was nice to see your grandchildren for you all the best for now 😊
Hello Suzanne. It's easing off a bit now. Thank goodness. Stay warm..💕
woaw some lovely area your passing through will, wish we were on the canals, safe journeys
Thanks for visiting buddy.
Stay safe out there Will 👍👍
It's going to get cold so I'm stocking up on coal. Thanks 👍
Great vlog, Will. The River Don was quite high as well.
As with all rivers in winter. Get off them. That's my advice. 🤣🤣
shrugbrough is where Lord Patrick of Lichfield lived , the Anson family big sailor's in the old days.
the lock by pack horse bridge , the property next to it was a nice eating place in its day , private owned now ,
lovely area though , thanks for the trip
Interesting info. Thank you for that. The gate house was built in the 1500s. They sure could build back then. 🫵👍
See you’ll be out on the town tonight since you have had your nails done with open Toe shoes😂 😂😂 👍👍
🤣🤣🤣 I might get matching earrings.
@@NarrowboatWill very nice filthy, thumbs up😂😂😂
Bridge 69 yey it came along eventually as did bridge 70 if you're that way inclined lol.
No m6 this trip. 😅
All the dry bits this trip
Stay dry
Kev the brinklow kayaker😊
Hello Kev.
Can't beat a good old bridge. Especially 69...🤣🤣🤣
My number preference is 99.... Bridge 99 get the ice creams in :)
99 red balloons. 🤣🤣
Have to say that journey was really nice despite the rain and that pesky sun 😁😂🤭
Do they have a bag full of boaters that they empty at some places once in a while? 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 spare boaters waiting around. Good one Robert. 👍
GG says woof to you and grand kids. Happy New Year
Wooof wooof wooof kat. Thank you to GG..🤣🤣
Rugeley's one of our favourite stop overs on our travels. Glad you liked it too. The Wetherspoons at the top of town is in an old cinema which looks like it was built in the 30s. Interesting vlog.😊
Great mooring. Good signal. Great parking. Quite. Good shops. 👍 Perfek.
There’s nothing worse than smelling something burning 😩you can never settle. Great vlog again Will and get some logs on the fire it’s getting cold 🥶🎧👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I think the smell was from another boats fire but I do panic about electric fires. Thanks for watching. 🫵🫵👍
Love the painted toe nails - good weekend, eh? 🤣
That's what happens when the naughty elf comes out. 🤣🤣🤣
Interesting part of the canal will, despite everywhere so wet. Gd on ya wi yur grandkids they grow up so quick too, our youngest one is 13! Can't believe it! Its like they all start to catch u up! 👍👍
I know. It seems like yesterday when my kids were that age. 😭😭😅
Nice gloves Will, the simple things that make life easier. 👍🏼😎
Until they're wet. 🤣🤣🤣
@@NarrowboatWill yep 🤣
Hiiii Bill, loving the vlogs as always.
Ohhhh I have picked up your habit of shouting out "train spotters" when I see a train on other vlogs we watch 😂
Fanny is getting annoyed with Keith now 😂
Did you ever find out what the burning smell was? 😮
I think the burning smell was from outside Kirsty. Keith and fanny not getting on. Oh dear. 😟🫤
@NarrowboatWill Ah that's good it wasn't anything inside. I remember being in the car to a car show and smelling a burning clutch....we were all worried then. But it turned out to be outside from another car. Hmmm no they are not....not when Keith shouts out trainspotters in a NarrowboatWill's voice 🤣😂
Good morning.
Good morning. 👍
omg WILL , ive been watching vids on the trent rivers , & Wow , they are really are high , i could'nt believe how high torksey & lincoln & dunham bridge & trent lock are , that's scary , hope you find somewhere high to park mr van , ive never ever seen so many floods , be careful & take care Will .
When I was on the Thames at Henley. There was a plaque on the wall with flood marker from 1841 I think it was much higher. Still, it's bloody scary. I don't why people risk staying on..😬
good vid on channel cranking it thanks lee
No problem 👍 thanks lee
You are fortunate. I am anosmic (no sense of smell) so could not pick up on smells such as burning.....But in certain situations it is an advantage.....All the best Tricia and Neil......
🤣🤣🤣 I bet it is. Especially in a boat after large meals.
Hello Will, greetings from Cymru.
Have a nice day in Cymru.🤣
Do you like a busy canal or a quiet canal
Quite. Travelling in winter is very quite and lots of water in the canal. 🫵👍👍
So that cemetery so close to the canal, it was only just above water level so what happens when they dig the graves are they all waterlogged? Six feet down and splash!
That's a good point. I bet they have a soggy bottom. 😒
The soggy bottom boys. One of my favourite films 'Oh Brother were art thou!'@@NarrowboatWill
