    You went through all eleven locks,
    Just so you could wash your socks
    How nice to see you both possess
    Such high regard for cleanliness.

    Ben's music sounds like a cross between Bowie and Neil Young to me. Neither of which are a bad thing!

    You guys have such a beautiful and peaceful life. It's a very gentle, nomadic existence that's so refreshing to watch compared to the hectic pace of city life. I love the quaint little towns, villages and countryside cottages you show. Benny's music is the perfect soundtrack for the imagery. I truly wish you both many years of happiness and bliss, and thank you for creating these videos!

    Hi Ben and Emily. Well done to Benny for saving the washing from the canal. Emily when you made that tight turn it was really impressive. The Ashby looks like a peaceful canal to cruise along. Take care. Nick

    Atherstone, was the place of a famous hat factory that bounded onto the canal. I think probably the derelict building you filmed. Before the crew mutinyed they enjoyed getting kitted out in the factory shop.
    And I think there used to be a shop nearby where the old bargees used to buy their Measham tea pots. Ordered on the out journey, collected new on the way back.
    Great videos, thanks for sharing your journey,

    • @pianoalan1
      @pianoalan1 Год назад

      Correct Philip, the old Hat Factory sadly is now derelict & past re-development, so I suppose to be demolished eventually. It was sold to a developer several years ago to be converted to apartments but found to be unviable.

    Good work on the DIY to your storage box Benny!
    I don’t know if you’ve seen the channel ‘boat life’, but they have some handy storage lockers under their solar panels, but still have the ability to tilt them when needed. That might be something for you to look at - you’d be able to knock them up Benny and it would give you extra storage space.
    They also put grip tape on the gunnels, which might be a good addition once you’ve finished off the painting to make walking around a bit safer!

    It seems to me that in the countryside cruising the canals is so so beautiful, and mostly very pleasing to the eye before you hit a city or a town that is mostly ugly and is better to keep your eyes tightly shut................................. We humans seem to bugger seem things up don't we?

  • @duhusker4383

  • @James-In-Exile
    @James-In-Exile Год назад +2

    Another great instalment with all the elements of a quintessential Ben and Emily vlog. The only jarring notes came from the dark, foreboding post-apocalyptic skies. Not sure if it really was that gloomy or if that was a special dystopian Nuneaton Filter.
    Well done to Alan for earning her Blue Peter Badger Badge.

I really appreciate and enjoy Benny"s music however I do wish you could show his shows sometime. I'm not sure if RUclips will allow you to do that but t least throw in a little more of his music along the way!!! Keep up the good work, You two are living out a dream of mine, making the canals your home. That looks like it's so peaceful and enjoyable to me!!! Rub ALLEN'S head for me! LOL

    I know you asked this a while back when you were in Rugeley but that shrimp (assuming nobody else has told you) you encountered was Hemimysis anomala or the Bloody Red Shrimp. It is an invasive species first recorded here in 2004 (I believe). I have only just found about it myself, hence the delay :)

    Atherstone looks a lovely town to visit and your nature shots of swans and ducks were superb. I know Trent Lock well, a lovely but busy place especially in the summer. Lovely to hear more of your music. You’re very talented Benny. It was a shame to see so much rubbish by the Ashby, I don’t know how people can spoil the world we share by dumping rubbish! It was a amazing that you didn’t lose more washing when it fell in the canal! Take care and safe travels. xxxx

    Oh god we did those locks 2 years ago going the opposite way in the middle of the night. We also went up the ashby canal on my first trip on my boat also at night with no head light so we tried to moor up but i stacked it stepping off the boat and the one thing i remembered was being told not to let go of the rope so i didnt and was being dragged along the tow path slowly on my side. All i could shout was stop! My brother shouted back let go of the rope. Omg what a funny but painful experience. My foot was so swollen the next day but we still couldnt stop laughing every time we spoke about it. 😂

    We had an amazing time. It's been warm and sunny all 12 days. Which has brought out the bloody midgies. Hope you are all ok. I bet the canals are getting busier by the day. We hope our paths cross again one day soon. We are back on TickertBoo in two weeks' time. Love to know where you are now. Don't say on here. You have my email address...
