    William never ceases to put a smile on my face whatever the weather, every time he makes an appearance! What an amazing little fella he is. A credit to Jo & Vic. A great insight into the less glamorous side of canal boat life. Looking forward to the next installment as always ❤👍

    A waterpoint flowing water abundantly, swing bridges moving light as a feather, today all seems to go effortless.
    Very comforting, wonderfully edited scenes, filmed and chosen with care and attention.❤😊

    Hi Vic and Jo, love the vlog. Of course we also can't get enough of William. One thing we do miss is Jo's baking and seeing the Café open. Locking forward to next fridays vlog. ❤😊

    Love Vic's special cassette emptying face. Boseley services has memories for us; we spent the second half of Lockdown No. 1 around Congleton, which has only water, so a regular trip there in the car with rubbish and poo-suitcases was part of the routine.

    The last time I came through the electrified road bridge. The bridge opened okay and I took the boat through, then the bridge would not close, and all the electrics died. There was traffic everywhere. It took the CRT over an hour to turn up.

How to function on a daily basis bin bags and water management. Lastly not forgetting the cassette toilet. I am a motorhomer and i think there are skills we share here. Lastly i loved the connection with nature you showed. I feel happily immersed in you day in the life of...william is growing up fast. Please keep making these little nuggets of cafe boating life... love to you all. Can't wait for the next one to lighten my mood...😊

    Vic and Jo...received your cook book and it is a beauty!! Great job, great photos and the sweet, personal stories make it very special. I didn't realize I ordered 2 so one I will convert the measurements for me to use. For the second book, I contacted a friend whose daughter had just moved back to California after having lived in Australia for many years thinking she'd enjoy it and it turns out that she collects cook books so I'm happy that the second cook book will be a beautiful surprise for her to add to her collection. Thank you for the great effort and quality of the book. I'll wait for the temps here in California to cool down a bit and then I will get into the mood to get my oven going and make some sinful pastry!! Hope you all are doing well!! Big hugs to Will!!

    Here’s a tip. Keep an old brush from a dustpan and brush set. The pans are always breaking so you usually end up with a homeless brush. Then when the inevitable dog poo encounter occurs, use the brush by dipping it in the canal and washing the sole with plenty of water. Comes straight off.

    Wasps ,,,, tip
    1 Badgers raid wasp nests with their big claws
    Wasps have learned to attack badgers
    Don't act like a badger.
    2 Wasps sniff out sugar
    Remove anything sweet to a safe distance
    3 Wasps prefer somewhere bright(ok, apart from their nest)
    If theyre pestering you go somewhere dark; leave a door\window open so they can escape.

    @Yotrek Год назад

    It’s about 8 miles from where they were to the bins, and toilet. At 2mph, that’s an 8 hour trip just to take the trash out, so to speak. I’m surprised there are not more Lock facilities, closer to each other. Also surprised at the planners choice of locations. if there’s only one facility location, it’s more logical to have it in a city, where they were at, then in the middle of nowhere like Bosley Locks.
