    Yet more great stuff from the morcambe and wise of the canal system. It’s like the best tv show with comedy, history, nature and boats all thrown in the pot and the way you mix the stunning filming with the perfect soundtrack is amazing. Could do with an 8 hour mix of just video and music to lose a whole day in. See ya next week guys

    I’m so glad I found your channel a while ago. You make such wonderfully interesting vids, along with historical trivia, gorgeous scenery, and very apt background music. Not to mention, you two are so funny and cute you make me laugh. I’m very UK/IRE on both sides, several generations back. Except for my maternal gramps who came over at age 10 with his family, and though his elders died long before I was born, I grew up around him. I’m a Californian, but it always feels like “home” any time I watch stuff from across the pond, especially England. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

    That's why narrowboats have the strange number of being 6'10" wide. Originally the canals were designed to accommodate boats 7' wide but so many bridges and locks have squeezed inwards over decades and decades that 6'10" is the maximum width to go anywhere on the canal system nowadays.

    Talking about Diesel fuel. I understand you have to use white fully taxed diesel in pleasure boats now after European directives banned red diesel a few years ago. Do you think after Brexit the Government may relax the rules again and permit lower cost diesel to be used in narrowboats?

    • @FoxesAfloat
      @FoxesAfloat  4 года назад +2

      That's all incorrect, sorry. We still use red diesel at the same rate we always did.

    This one is one of your best to date. The film quality is spot on. The photography has gotten so artsy and at times moving. The music is perfect for what you are shooting. The aqua-duck, the longer one was quite groovy. Isn't there a higher one in Wales? Last but not least, you two, The Foxy Twins, as I call you, are so funny and seem so happy together. Oh' yeah, I really love your history of the places you travel too. You have the grooviest Narrowboat series on the air.

    Awesome as usual! I was surprised you didn't mention the super muddy towpath but that is just spring I guess. So nice to see the daffodils. Especially nice at 16:18 with the daffodils and the boat. We are pretty far behind here in New England we won't have daffodils for a month or so.

    On our October cruise we moored at Wootton Wawen and walked to the station and excitedly held our hand out to stop the train (as it was a request stop) for a day trip to Stratford! We then cruised to Lowsonford, moored in the exact spot as you and went to the pub. Enjoyed seeing the sights again on your excellent Vlog.👍

    Hello lads. As I said not watching these in order, justpick and choosing when one catches my fancy. Got a couple questions. 1st colin what kind of music do you play on your ukulele? My hubby plays anything and I'm quite eclectic, from classical, 50s to country. 2nd have you heard of the Monmouth-breck canal in Wales? Not connected at all to the rest of the canal system. But it's very beautiful.

    As always, a great way to start the weekend. And the past few vlogs have felt like being home as I know many of the roads around the area from riding my bicycle through those villages for many years.
    PS When you mentioned Mary Arden lived 30 yards down the road at number 42, I had a flashback to Benny Hill singing Ernie, although the widow in that song "Lived all alone on Lilly Lane, at number 22" (not 42).

    Scone rhymes with “on!” My sweet grandmother (may she RIP) would become irate if anyone called her baked goods “skowns” and accuse the culprit of being a nasty Londoner. She was very particular about her pronunciation, being from Aberdeen. Londoner was a grave insult.
