    Many Vloggers say that videos are very hard work, and so they are. However, I think William is going to thank you both for the time and effort you have put into YOUR videos. He will have a wonderful collection, to look at his childhood many years from now. So, you are not only entertaining us, but also, Willy when he grows up. He is such a star too!! Good luck, be happy and keep the videos coming, we look forward to them.

    Undecided if the antics of a small child or the giggles of a parental unit who is chronically amused by their progeny is the most charming. It is a close thing which serves to double the entertainment. Thank you for THAT, as well!!!

    Seeing England through your vlog is great . I probably will never visit and certainly could not see all of it if I did. I call these "Off the beaten path" trips. I would much rather visit rural villages than cities anytime. Although I love to visit all the lovely villages along the canals with you, I enjoy the shots of your life on the boat also. Thank you for sharing your life with me. I loved it all , and especially the end when William waved at me with both hands.

    You really are exceptional for the way you manage to convey an atmosphere, like at the market. I wanted to be there. The editing of your videos is professional standard. There really isn't a frame that shouldn't be there. Keep up the good work; you are the highlight of some people's week! Precious footage of William at the end!

    My impression of the Macclesfield Canal was that for much of the time it marks the difference between the landscapes of Cheshire and Derbyshire. To the north west, it's mainly dairy cattle, while up on the hills to the south east you have Peak District sheep. The folly tower on Mow Cop is a great landmark, but Mow rhymes with cow, not with the way you cut the grass!

    Guys I saw your friends walking up the hill on St Johns rd tonight the 28th about half 6. I was driving past. On my way home. Nearly stopped and said Holly The Cafe Boat lol. You need to move a few bridges down. The shop is closer and the Church House pub .Has just reopened for food .Haven't been but supposed to be good. I just think it is mad how you are near the back of my house. Followed you on RUclips for ages. It would be mad to meet you .Deleted loads of messages before ..Because you don't see them . I know you get loads and it is hard to keep up. Hope you see this one. All The Best👍

    Looks like you just got back down from Mow Cop to the canal before it got too dark. I suspect navigating those farmers foot paths given another half an hour with baby on board, would have been quite hazardous. Thanks for giving a different perspective of what would be a lovely warm mid June walk through the country side and a bleak November afternoon.

  • @WillBaxter98
    @WillBaxter98 2 года назад +4

    Have you considered using a filtration system that draws water from the canal and filters into tap water? My brother uses this system & never has to worry about water again - would come in handy for running the washing machine and extra baby bath times!

    • @92RedRevolver
      @92RedRevolver Год назад

      Ah, I've been watching a lot of these videos and wondered if such a thing existed. That's cool! I bet it's pretty expensive/takes up a lot of room on the boat, though. Particularly as canals and rivers are getting dirtier and dirtier.

      @beautifully_wonderfullymade 2 года назад

      @@greenpedal370 I am told that canal water is very dirty. That it doesn't have regular inflows or outflows like a river. This means that the water used in narrowboats doesn't come from the canal. They have to fill up their water storage regularly at waterpoints, hence why every drop counts.

    • @greenpedal370
      @greenpedal370 2 года назад

      @@beautifully_wonderfullymade I'm not convinced. All canals flow to the sea and animals populate the water so it cannot be polluted. Maybe there is a bylaw that does not allow water to be extracted.

A popular statement to make if you wanted to impress your guests. I think we met Kat when you both moored your boats for an overnight sing along under the flight path, and something about a cabbage or cauliflower? What have we settled on, William, Will, or Bill?
