    In another tense, nail-biting episode, I cruise further east along the Trent & Mersey canal on my narrowboat, through Burton-on-Trent and up to Willington. This involves the lockside purchase of some carrots.

    With your narration, you, Sir, are the David Attenborough of the English canal system. You even make the engineering of the drainage systems sound fascinating.

    It is the most horrible of seasons here in The States, the summer of Election Season. It is hard to express how soothing this video is upon my soul. One of your best. Sorry I have been so lax in following your adventures lately. I will correct that by binge watching.

    David, I cannot wait to purchase several copies of your cookbook, '101 Ways to Make a Cheese Sandwich'. It will be great to read how you describe the different types of cheese and breads and all the different condiments and vegetables that could be added. Please keep me advised of the publication date and how to order. Keep up the great vlogs, I hunger for more.

    • @TheAtma50

    • @paulhaynes8045
      @paulhaynes8045 3 года назад +1

      I rather suspect that there are no "different types of cheese and breads" - David strikes me as a strict conventionalist when it comes to cheese sandwiches. White sliced and medium mature cheddar - the only way. Anything else is an abomination.

    You taught me a new word: twitchy. I understand that feeling! I have never found the perfect word for when someone comes up behind my car and just s i t s there without passing, though I am 100% sure they want to. That’s when I feel twitchy! PS I am a Scandinavian who have lived in ‘Merica for eons, and I still pick up new words. Love your videos! Your commentaries are so quiet and pleasant with just a touch of British humor. Keep it up!

    I recently came across your you tube channel and absolutely love it. I am from Pennsylvania in the USA, so I don't think we have anything quite like your canals. Love the narrowboats and the beautiful countryside. Would love to come to England some day and tour the canals, but that will probably never happen. We do have the Erie Canal in New York State that runs from Hudson Bay to Lake Erie that was built in the early 1800's to open up the west. I may have to venture up that way next year to see if I can find a place that offers tours of part of the canal. I have been on part of the canal near Buffalo, and we went through two or three locks. That was very interesting. You have a gift of making your vlogs interesting and informative. I love the beautiful scenery, the countryside, the animals (yes, even the swans) and especially enjoy your sense of humor. I find myself tensing up as you are going through an especially narrow passageway. There is a man here in the US that does a similar vlog as you do ,only his is in a RV. He travels all over the US and narrates different areas of the country. He helped me get through the shutdown here in the states. If you ever get a chance, his you tube channel is: Traveling Robert. Hope this comment isn't too long. Should have broken it up some. Thanks for all your hard work in filming and editing. Great job!!!!

Not many canals in Arizona, but I really find the narrow boat life to be compelling and fulfilling. I especially like your "Not-a-Vlog" videos as well. DB

    3:40 -- This happens to me routinely on streets: An obstruction partially blocks the road, so I slow in order to let pass a driver travelling towards me. However, he also slows for the same reason, so the two of us end up trying to squeeze past the obstruction.

    I don't know what special lens you use on your special camera but, every time I watch your video, I spend the next few hours shopping for a narrowboat. Nothing looks more ideal than living in a narrowboat and following your.... not footsteps on a narrowboat and rarely see a wake....hmm......nothing looks more ideal than following your lead and live aboard a narrowboat of my own. Porridge for breakfast, painting every morning on top of the boat or at a side hatch, a nice tea in a village near the canal and evenings with a breeze and a nice cocktail before cleaning up and preparing for sleep. Every day my own and bringing the grandkids on board for every school break where we will find a new adventure and discover something special each time. I don't know what gets into me! But I do enjoy every mental vacation. Thanks for that!
    I do love the hat and actually remember when you got it. And I actually saw your boat slicing a path through the water. You are a regular adrenaline junkie!
    Are you still happy with your choice to toss it all and move onto your boat? Do you still do the occasional freelance gig?

    YES! That B&B Cottage/Lock scene is 'pretty!' Were I a 'live aboard' fellow, as are you, I would pick just such a place to moor and to spend a night or two ashore...just for the change in ambience and in cooking! MARSTONS!! not a bad choice for picking up a crate of brew.

    The excitement of very nearly crashing head-on with another boat under a bridge had me close to fainting. Please do try to tone down the drama a bit David, this is not one of those thrill-a-minute Jane Austen pictures...

    I do so enjoy your Vlogs of you pootering along through the proverbial green and pleasant especially since I live in inner London which is neither green nor pleasant, Look I'm not saying I envy you and your narrow boat lifestyle because envy isn't an attractive emotion, BUT I BLOODY WELL DO. Keep them coming David cheers.
