Thank you Guys for a great vlog, It's always good to see the size of the town / village by your drone.Very professional way of making your boat safe and sound.Stay safe 🤗xx
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. That village we showed looks a little different in next week's vlog. Think you'll be quite surprised at what happens to it 😳😊
Got back from shopping with my daughter at Ventura and a big mug of coffee and 10 minutes on my iPad before putting all my goodies away and see you posted yesterday. Annoyed I missed it yesterday but happy to have a second cup of coffee and get an early Wednesday fix of your life aboard. Might have news of Genie some time early next week.
Hope you enjoyed your shopping trip Jean. Yes sorry about that I put the wrong release date on by mistake when I uploaded it 🫣🤣 looking forward to hearing more updates regarding Genie 😀
Great to see your vid i dont care what day it is i am glad to see you two supper neat people and i understand Ernie is the best stick finder, Stay goofy all of you i love it Ed 40 S of Vegas
I bet you sat right buy that roaring Fire Paul. 😂 Pink stuff for the Poopy canopy. 👍 At least they didn't smash a window, like our local Seagulls did to us on Sunday, just the outer pain, Luckily. Lol, Ice in your boot, better than a Snake I suppose. 😊 TFS, & take care you 3. 👍🙂🐶
Wow, that must have been flying at some speed to break a window. I'm not sure if we can use that cleaner on the fabric canvas. For now, we are just hoping the rain that is due lifts some of it out. 😊
@uponreflection Yeah, it was our bathroom window, but just the outside opaque pane, so no big draught. They're huge here, & the young ones practice their flying skills like dive bombers, & we're 40 feet up. 👍 Maybe you can ask the canopy makers what's safe to use, you could be right about chemical cleaners, they might rot it. Take care. 👍🙂🐶
*Kia ora Liz, Paul & Captain Ernie 🙂 Ummmm you have thrown me as today is only Wednesday in NZ so you have put it up a day early!! I am used to getting your vids on a Thursday morning lol 🙂 So you all skived off for a number of days and no vids of where you disappeared to tut tut hehehe 🙂 But I am glad that you all had a fun time away. 🙂 So now we have to wait 8 days instead of 7 days...! oh well patience is a virtue they say 🙂 But also awesome to show others how to prepare to leave a narrowboat when going away on holiday. Great drone video and a lovely walk thru that lovely village too. nice jumpers on Capt Ernie🙂 So see ya'' in 8 days time 🙂nz*
Sorry Andrea, I confused myself and out the wrong date in when I uploaded. We went home to see family for Christmas. 8days to wait I'm afraid but wait until you see that village you saw this week in next week's video. You'll be surprised what happens to it 😉😊
@@uponreflection *Well you all, spending that special time with family over xmas is awesome.... so all is forgiven. I hope y'all got nicely spoilt with lots of lovely goodies too. 🙂 Ohhhh cool, shall look forward to seeing the village in just over a week's time.🙂 Look out for & check out 'Pitched up Wanderers' as they have just brought a narrowboat and out on the cut... and doing some renos.🙂.*
My friend had same problem with seagulls he got hawks like kites on a pole online, problem solved ps love the channel and the banter rest that back liz 🎉
?? It's Tuesday, what are you doing to my old brain! 😃😃 Loved your video and seeing Ernie trying on his new coats! Benny has one and a pain to put on him moving around! See you whenever? xx
Sorry Jan completely my fault, I've lost track. I must have put the wrong date in when uploading. We turned on youtube and our thumbnail flicked up 😳 back to normal Wednesdays next week 😀
What a charming video.Earnie’s knowledge of rivers is amazing 😂and something I’ve noticed is the sun always shines on you 😊maybe a small fishing vid crammed in?And keep that fire stoked up Liz🥵
Nice one just different enough to wake us up after the Christmas/New Year break. Stick dog, dog stick a marriage made in heaven for them, Ernie was having the best of times. Loved his pullovers to keep him snug through this chill weather. Already looking forward to the next one!
Hi Guys, back on form 😃😃, going to give Paul a shout this week, mate when I saw that chimney even I was livid, I thought Liz was on the Bong 😅, just a quick tip on leaving the boat, I don't know if sink/shower etc wastes are the same as a static caravan, but I used to put antifreeze in my u-bends, toilet etc during winter breaks, ps your tips go in a book along with those nicked from other vloggers, so all tips you give out are greatfully received 👍👍, ps I'm guessing Liz's bad back was due to the large gin she was holding 🤣🤣🤣, yes I know that you are reading this Liz 😇❤.
What are you like, you lot! And uh, Paul: a word; what was that all about asking about the fire? All big boy outside but not a word once inside, eey? She knew what she was doing! You better bake her some more bread now! Lols, and get the treats out for handsome Ernie! ❤🎉🦮🥂😜
Ha ha ha 🤣🤣 he was only mucking about with the fire, I didn't really get told off 😉 like you say...he's not brave enough 🤣🤣 Ernies full of treats and he's all cosied up on the sofa 😊
Gooo on Liz fill the fire with coal give Eboneezer a heart attack! haha :) Ok I'm confused and thought i'd developed Altzimers and lost a day, Tuesday?? Who got the publish day wrong lol :) Your like my mrs Liz, she always scrubbed the house before going on holiday she hated coming home to a scruffy house lol. When leaving my boat I always put a couple of bowls of salt out to soak up any damp in the air. Hope you had a lovely time at home with your family. Jesus those seagulls certainly had it in for your boat. Blimey Erns has got more clothes than me! Art in the Corridor love thier lino cuts and drawings. Great as always :)
I have to hold my hands up to the wrong day..must have put the date in wrong when I uploaded. Whooppsie. Good tip with the salt idea. I love Anthony's artwork I'm so pleased to own a piece finally. 😊
Lovely video. So many things to think about and turn off when leaving the boat. A great reminder. Blue skies....you're sooo lucky. Been really grey down here in Wiltshire.. Ernie looks so cute in his jumpers. Definitely a pampered pooch, but sooo necessary out on the water.🐕🙂 xx
We made a checklist when we first got the boat, and we kept forgetting to do certain steps. It's always good to follow as we usually forget something otherwise and the you can't relax when away from the boat. 😊
@@uponreflection hello both do you live on the boat or do you still have a house not being nosy just wonder any way rain is going to be a right bugger last dry day tomorrow im doing surveys in the wet days they pay a little but its worth it if i do a lot of them you two are very nice folk julie trying to get some of her weight off but shes very stiff at the moment it was good that you was on early i thought it was wednesday for a moment there say a hello paul give ernie a hug form me and her in doors
Good night Ernie Liz and Paul i love watching you on your you tube videos on your you tube channel why are you on Tuesday night not tomorrow night I hope you are all well and enjoying your adventures on your you tube channel please keep safe and warm please keep up your good work on your you tube channel
Hi guys, thanks for sharing todays video. It was very informative and interesting. Poleworth looks like a nice little village/ small town. Take care and stay safe. See you next time.😊
Our boat is in a marina all winter The only damage iv had was the shower mixer tap two years ago it was -8 now I wrap a couple of towels around it now since doing that no problem I do leave to battery isolation on as we have an automatic bilge pump on the 12 volt system so if any happens in there I quite like the thought of the pump working !!
Yes we had our kitchen tap damaged in minus temperatures before too that how we learnt the lesson about turning the pump off and emptying the taps 🫣 good idea to leave the bilge on too 😀
Dear Liz, Paul and Captain Ernie OK guys so what are Pukka Pies???? Have you ever come across Black Country Chips alias battered chips? If so what do you think of them? I can't recall if I have ever asked you this before. Where did you purchase narrowboat Assumption from? Liz just a suggestion from my partner. She asked if you would stay away from red print as it can be a difficult colour for some people to see. Something to do with those who are colour blind to certain colours. Stay warm and throw an extra piece of coal on. Mark Alberta, Canada
Hi Mark, pukka pie with a crispy puffy pastry. I'm not a fan but Paul loves them. We like the black country chips although prefer not battered ones. Oh, I didn't even think about the red colour. Thank you partner so much for pointing this out. I will make sure I don't use it. I'm hoping I've not used it in the 2 videos that I've already uploaded. We got our boat from whilton marina in Northamptonshire 😀
Keep what zipped. Sorry you've confused me here. Do you mean you don't put your boat in a marina when you leave it? I know a lot of people do leave on canalside but it's just our preference to place in marina especially over the busier times such as Christmas which is when this was. 😉😊
@ ignore me, your thumbnail caught my eye, my daughter keeps saying, ‘Dad, do a video about your boat, besides not being comfortable with filming when there are people around respecting privacy, I struggle giving secrets away about the finer points of this gentle life… you will be perfectly fine.
HELLO LPE HOW ARE YOU DOING MY SAILNG GREATES the weather is bloody cold but havent seen any rain well we will do thursday friday saturday sunday we going to get more rain sorry guys just looking at my weather app bloody waful i wont be working for a while saying this i have been at work last 2 days im working wednesday after that its any one guess so on this note keep try love to ernie
Yes we looked and saw tomorrow I'd the only dry day for a while so we will be moving the boat tomorrow hopefully. Don't work too hard when you do manage to get a dry day 😊
Yes, although we don't have a cassette we have compost toilet but yes we did do that but forgot to include on the list even though it was on my notes to include 🫣🤣

Great episode guys 😊👌👍 I'm a bit late this week due to poor Internet so frustrating 😫, but we'll worth it.
Thanks Simon, hope your Internet issues have been sorted. It's so frustrating when the signal is weak or plays around 🫣😊
What a charming video.Earnie’s knowledge of rivers is amazing 😂and something I’ve noticed is the sun always shines on you 😊maybe a small fishing vid crammed in?And keep that fire stoked up Liz🥵
That's because when the suns not out we tucked ourselves away inside 🤣😉 fire is roaring 😊

Thanks Andy, hope you're still enjoying your time on the Llangollen 😊
Nice one just different enough to wake us up after the Christmas/New Year break. Stick dog, dog stick a marriage made in heaven for them, Ernie was having the best of times. Loved his pullovers to keep him snug through this chill weather. Already looking forward to the next one!
He's certainly needed those pullovers in the last few days, it's been a bit chilly 😉😊

How did you get it off, its rained a bit and still the stains are there 😳
@uponreflection I haven't 🤣🤣, going to give it a go with good old soapy water and stiff brush first
Lovely video. So many things to think about and turn off when leaving the boat. A great reminder.
Blue skies....you're sooo lucky. Been really grey down here in Wiltshire..
Ernie looks so cute in his jumpers. Definitely a pampered pooch, but sooo necessary out on the water.🐕🙂 xx

We're do you get your doggy jumpers from
I tend to get them from amazon but you have to be careful of sizes when ordering from there. These ones I got from the range.

Yes we looked and saw tomorrow I'd the only dry day for a while so we will be moving the boat tomorrow hopefully. Don't work too hard when you do manage to get a dry day 😊
Was that Ant Savage Art I saw?
Yes it was, I love his artwork 😊
@@uponreflection so much talent!
Just seen two boats moored together side by side are you allowed to do that 😮
Hi Janice, yes you are allowed to do that providing the canal is wide enough 😊
@@uponreflectionAnd with the permission of the other boat!
@uponreflection thank you
What a woman you have
Argh thank you. 😉😊
I would have thought another task before leaving the boat would be to empty the toilet cassette.
Yes, although we don't have a cassette we have compost toilet but yes we did do that but forgot to include on the list even though it was on my notes to include 🫣🤣
