Hey guys. I can't tell you how many times I have bruised, beaten and broken my pride over my many years of manhood that would make what happen to Paul look like a day in the park. lol. So, take heart Paul! There are people out there much, much worse off. 😂 Thanks for another one guys. Take care.
good night Ernie and Liz and Paul I love watching your RUclips videos on your RUclips I hope that you are all well and enjoying your adventures on your narrowboat I hope Ernie is being good and everyone is I can't thank you so much for what you do on your RUclips channel for everyone to watch, please keep safe and warm and please say hi to Ernie for me and please keep up your good work on your you tube channel
Aww bless you Paul, it's easily done. Lovely to see The Cloud from your mooring. We've walked up that a few times. Tell Ernie, his side eye game is strong 😂❤ bless him 😊
Hi Rachael, how funny as we actually walked the cloud today as we are a few weeks ahead of our filming and are on the way back down the Macclesfield. What a fabulous view from the top, thoroughly enjoyed it. It will be in about 3 vlogs time 😉😊
What Paul should have said about the boxes was, yes love that's a great idea you've had I'll get onto it asap. 😁 Those were some gorgeous looking cows, as cows go. We've all had to ask for assistance, even though you spent hours trying to sort it yourself 🤦🏼
Beautiful colour cows weren't they, they actually matched Ernie's shade. Don't think we are doing the boxes anymore, we've just repainted the roof and finding other storage for the chairs and bits. 😉 😊
Never a dull moment with you guys! So so funny! Glad to see captain Erns had a guy in to check on Paul’s handywork, lol. So love your vlogs, always make me happy! So thank you guys! ❤️🐕❤️
Another entertaining video guys Thank you. I thought you were all going to end up in the canal; not just the dog! And good to see all of Ernie's hard work rewarded with a promotion to Captain. Well done Captain Ernie!
Hi Neil, sadly Ernie had to step down from his newly promoted role as he struggled to control the tiller with his paw so Paul currently still remains captain at least until I gain more confidence 🤣😊
Hello Lìz Paul and Ernie. Just watched the vlog, we really enjoy it every week. Great laughs. Your hair looked really pretty Liz, just love the colour. See you next week.x
My hair suddenly got more and more orange from the start to the end of this vlog, I've literally just dyed it brown again bit it's come out a little darker than normal (you'll see in a couple of vlogs time 😬) Thanks for joining us again and we are glad you enjoyed it Jayne 😊
Hi Paul, Liz & Ernie. As one of your subscribers I enjoy following your travels round the waterways. My wife and I love the countryside and are CRT supporters. We’ve walked along the towpaths up and down the country from the K & A to Llangollen, Stratford, Anderson boat lift and many other places. I was pleased to hear you were at Bugsworth and will look forward to your next vlog. We have caravanned in Marple and have explored all the Peak Forest canal. The views are lovely with many interesting walks. Sadly now in our 80s our walking days are over and vlogs like yours give us much pleasure and reminders of places we’ve been. Keep up the good work.
Wow David you certainly have travelled the countryside and covered lots of lovely areas. Our next plan is the Llangollen and we are looking forward to that. Thank you so much for watching and joining us each week and we are glad you enjoy them 😀
Ha! That bit regarding the boxes on the roof sounded ALLLLL too familiar! You can tell Paul the yank who does his accent (badly) was applauding him and yelling “yessssss, mate!!!” 😂
Great vlog . Ernie did well as captain bless him. Poor Paul, you must have felt like a dipstick. However, at least it was a simple problem that was easily resolved . Have a great week guys ❤
Looked like Ernie was really eyeing off that tree in the field on the other side of the canal! Oh Paul! What would Ernie say..... Thanks for your Vlogs
🤣🤣 Ernie had a lot to say to Paul after this little error 🤣 but at least it wasn't anything costly and was just a case of a loose wire, even if he couldn't see it himself 🤣😊
Hi guys. I enjoyed the vlog, lots of laughs. Nice to see your son and his partner oh and (I think you said his name was Dodger) their dog. Don't feel too much like a dipstick Paul. How does it feel to be demoted now you have a new captain called Ernie??? ATB to you all. Thanks for sharing. See you next week. Take care and stay safe. 😊
Hi Yvonne, don't feel too bad for Paul's demotion as sadly Ernie had to step down from his captain role as he was unable to hold the tiller in his paw correctly so Paul's back as Captain...for now that is, until I master this steering and take over 🤣😊
Great vlog as usual 👍Glad you enjoyed your son coming to stay with you after your little blip with the electrics. I asked my hubby to listen to what Paul was saying, he said he needs to check all of the wiring. In theory he was right, but at the end of the day it's all elimination. RCR did great only keeping you waiting 5hours, hubby said it would be a week 🤣🤣🤣
Rcr are pretty good, they have a policy of 4 hours for a call out so all was good. Paul did feel a bit silly as he had checked all the wires twice before the man got there 🤣 oh well another lesson learnt 🤣😊
I keep having to duck, those bridges are a little too low😂😂. I wonder what is going through Ernie’s head when you finish the blog, his eyes say it all. Have a great week, so you next week.
In the beautiful country of the North where I spent much of my early years, watching the fishermen between congleton and Marple with my uncle Vic. I left these shores 57 years ago to make a life in Tasmania on the other side of the world. Visited from time to time and enjoyed coffee or hot chocolate at the boatyard/chandlry at higher Poynton and Aye a few pints the the Boars Head. In my youth there was a railway station right outside the Boar the railway track is a walking track..
Good evening Paul Liz & Ernie another excellent vlog, nice shots of beautiful sunsets and canal scenery. Hope you had a nice time with your son girlfriend and dog, my daughter came to see me at the weekend and she loved the boat as l hadn't told her l had bought one 😂. Keep your hard work up has its appreciated.😊
How on earth had you kept your boat a secret for so long Simon..I'm useless as keeping secrets 🤣 lovely that she loved the boat though and hopefully she can join you on a cruise one day. 😊
@@uponreflection she knew l spent time on the canals with earl, but she thought it was sitting on the bench at the cafe. But its mums the word from telling her mum her ideal lol😂
If it helps Paul. I called out CRC for a similar failure to start and ….it was a loose wire too! Fixed in 60 seconds, kettle wasn’t even on! Doh! Hope you enjoyed all the goose pooh at Bugsworth! I turned straight around as Gem would nt have left it alone. Great show! 5:34
We are grateful it wasn't anything worse really. Ooooh the goose poo...wow, loads of it. Actually Ernie was really quite ill after our stay at bugsworth and had to get to a vets..I think all the goose poo contributed to that. He's OK now though, but the paintwork on the boat suffered a bit from the goose poo 😬😊
@@uponreflection paul liz julie said many thanks but she feels old age is coming i said your as old as you feel or who you feel that didnt go down well .but im 64 next week im old git on 13 of this month i will be pissed up just for the one night only like my love life lol tell paul he his a clever man i do mess up some times when i was in the band i went and hit the wrong chord even thow i played the song over over agiain baby i love your way was an hard song to play but i got there in the end i hope you are going to let your selfs go and have fun im off fishing sunday if it dont piss down on me
*Morena Captain Ernie, Liz & Paul 🙂Awesome video 🙂I love how some homeowners along the canal make a super effort to make it look so lovely along the waterfront. 🙂 Mind you they own some really nice homes too 🙂 OHHHHHH Paul..... time to go to Spec-Savers since you missed that loose wire lol 🙂 Liz great to se you at the helm again 🙂 Awesome to spend quality time with family... even if the retriever wanted to have a swim in the canal... so will you be now also getting a blowup canoe to have fun practicing rowing for the next Olympics 🙂 Kia kaha (stay strong) and keep on being well & safe on the canal's 🙂NZ*
Hi Andrea, your earlier to watch this one this week I usually reply to your comment in the morning as it comes through when we're in bed usually. The homes along the canal are lovely and you get to see some charming character in each of the gardens. Paul's still kicking himself about the wire but at least it wasn't a major fault and we've learnt yet another lesson 🤣 it was lovely having family on the boat and having Dodger the dog play with Ernie. Definitely won't be getting one of those blow up kayaks..no space to store it 🤣 hope you are well and have recovered fully now? 😀
@@uponreflection *Liz, Yep with all the work being done, I keep on waking up early... I have got the rest of this week to do all the painting in the two rooms... before they troop back in next Monday. But lots happened in the last week. 🙂.*
@@uponreflection i should say so i got a merry one last night julie was 60 yesterday i got a great gift a walking stick lol god knows she needs it shes got a stiff leg through memopause if i have got it right my spelling s shite i had hay fever today great fun when you work in gardens but i was listening to slade last night great stuff you two are great paul great when he does ernie
Poor Paul! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It’s ok, I work in IT, and one time I had to call the help desk because my desktop would not turn on… tech came to my desk… it wasn’t plugged in… 😬
Well this is the second time i've posted this, I think the tube is playing silly buggers because I criticised the PM. That's a very scenic canal your on. Paul we all make silly mistakes. When I first started boating (outboard engine) I was a mile away from my moorings and couldn't get the engine started again, so I pulled it by hand a mile back to my moorings. Tried like you the batteries, wiring, fuel. Only after about four hours scratching my head to find the reason it wouldn't start was because it wasn't in neutral! haha :) Did I feel like a dipstick? oh yeahhhh! lol :) Yeah both of you are now seasoned boaters and I think you could tackle anything thrown at you now. Cracking vlog as always from you three :) Supposed to be a heatwave due end of the month? Sent you something on the Book you might find useful.
Oh no 🤣 ..neutral 🤣 bet you dragged that engine back to the boat with your head held down 🤣 These things though are all lessons aren't they 😉 we live and learn 🤣😉😊 Heatwave..is there, I'm not expecting mirales 😉
Dear Liz, Paul and Captain Ernie, Paul don't feel bad about overlooking the connection, it happens to the best of us. At least it wasn't something serious like a burnt out solenoid or starter.

Hi Mark. Every dog in uk must be microchipped and also must wear a tag with owners details, phone number on etc. Ernie has got a tag on his collar and his collar always stays on even when inside the boat just incase something happens and he has to get off the boat quickly. 😊
Don't worry Paul.i had a whining noise on my engine when I turned it off. Going on for an hour so I sent a video to a friend asking if he knew what could be the cause. I'd only caught the switch to my bilge pump on the way in. I'm still laughing about it now.🤣🤣
Oh no 🤣 at least it wasn't anything serious. We had an alarm going off the other day..searching for ages where the noise was coming from and realised that I'd lent my bum on the cooker timer alarm 🤣😊
Arrr, 'twas the crack o' dawn, round 'bout 7 bells, when the long-haired admiral herself be perched on the stern deck, clutchin' her mug o' pirate grog-ye know, that mystical brew they call "coffee." She’s tossin’ crumbs to the swans like they be her personal crew, while ol' Rufus the mutt sat there, eyes glued to the enchanted box where Ernie, the dog pirate king, made his daily appearance. Rufus, bless 'im, loves that scallywag. Out from below deck stumbles the captain, hair wild as a storm, lookin' like he'd been wrestlin' with sea demons in his sleep. He rubs his eyes, hears voices, and squints at the admiral. “Who in blazes be ye talkin’ to this early, lass?!” says he, scratchin' his head like a barnacle-riddled mast. “Ain’t no one we know mad enough to be out on the towpath at this hour… least not without rum involved.” The admiral smirks, pointin' at the flickerin' screen. “Nay, Captain,” says she, “it be Rufus watchin’ his show. Seems he’s got more friends on the high seas than ye do!” The captain just grumbled somethin’ ‘bout “talkin’ mutts” and stumbled off to find his own brew, leavin’ the admiral to her swans and Rufus to his doggone entertainment.
Hi Dawn, no we didn't actually but we are on the way back down the canal now and not far from maccesfield so will pop there in the car as I need to get to a shop. 😊

Love the information and the video in general. Paul's "Ernie" speak is great. shame I would love to hear, Ernie talk. great dog. Stay safe
Hi Nigel, Ernie says his real talk is 'rubbish' so he gets his dad doing it 🤣🤣 😊
Another entertaining video guys Thank you. I thought you were all going to end up in the canal; not just the dog! And good to see all of Ernie's hard work rewarded with a promotion to Captain. Well done Captain Ernie!

Great vlog . Ernie did well as captain bless him.
Poor Paul, you must have felt like a dipstick. However, at least it was a simple problem that was easily resolved .
Have a great week guys ❤
Hi Debbie, honeslty we were grateful it wasn't anything worse than a mere cable being loose but Paul did fell a bit of a plonker 🤣 😊
Your video brings a brightness into our day. Good cruising.
Thanks Hugh, we are glad you enjoyed it 😊
Everything all, great video as always. Glad you had good weather when your family came to visit. Thanks for keeping us entertained
Thanks Jackie yes we were fortunate it stayed fairly dry when they were with us. Thanks for watching 😊

Hi Jean, hope you're well. We had a lovely few days with family, it was nice to have them aboard and have a few days off from filming 😊
Hi guys , that looked the narrowest part of your boating adventure so far , very tight ! Well done getting through unscathed !👌
It certainly was the narrowest part to date John 😉😊
I keep having to duck, those bridges are a little too low😂😂. I wonder what is going through Ernie’s head when you finish the blog, his eyes say it all. Have a great week, so you next week.
Ha ha they are quite low aren't they some of those bridges. Ernie's eyes are funny, he looks right into my soul with those eyes 🤣😊

Well this is the second time i've posted this, I think the tube is playing silly buggers because I criticised the PM. That's a very scenic canal your on. Paul we all make silly mistakes. When I first started boating (outboard engine) I was a mile away from my moorings and couldn't get the engine started again, so I pulled it by hand a mile back to my moorings. Tried like you the batteries, wiring, fuel. Only after about four hours scratching my head to find the reason it wouldn't start was because it wasn't in neutral! haha :) Did I feel like a dipstick? oh yeahhhh! lol :) Yeah both of you are now seasoned boaters and I think you could tackle anything thrown at you now. Cracking vlog as always from you three :) Supposed to be a heatwave due end of the month? Sent you something on the Book you might find useful.
Oh no 🤣 ..neutral 🤣 bet you dragged that engine back to the boat with your head held down 🤣 These things though are all lessons aren't they 😉 we live and learn 🤣😉😊
Heatwave..is there, I'm not expecting mirales 😉
Dear Liz, Paul and Captain Ernie,
Paul don't feel bad about overlooking the connection, it happens to the best of us. At least it wasn't something serious like a burnt out solenoid or starter.
Captain Ernie I notice that dogs and cats, which travel on the canals, don't seem to have registration tags. How do registration tags work on your side of the world? For us, in theory in Alberta, dogs and cats do require a tag.
Definitely looking forward to next weeks adventure, TTFN.

Alberta, Canada
Hi Mark. Every dog in uk must be microchipped and also must wear a tag with owners details, phone number on etc. Ernie has got a tag on his collar and his collar always stays on even when inside the boat just incase something happens and he has to get off the boat quickly. 😊
Just watching, husband said buy some belt dressing for your slipping drive belt
Hi Ann, yes I think we are going to have to get some of that, we have since tightened it a little more bit still every now and again it slips. 😊
Don't worry Paul.i had a whining noise on my engine when I turned it off. Going on for an hour so I sent a video to a friend asking if he knew what could be the cause. I'd only caught the switch to my bilge pump on the way in. I'm still laughing about it now.🤣🤣
Oh no 🤣 at least it wasn't anything serious. We had an alarm going off the other day..searching for ages where the noise was coming from and realised that I'd lent my bum on the cooker timer alarm 🤣😊
@@uponreflection haha not just me then. Loved it at buggy basin. Great meals in the pub.
hope you enjoyed a cheese and onion pie at the boar , Ernie would be welcome there too
Sadly we didn't, maybe another time though 😉😊

Cheers thanks for response I only asked cause we have just sold our hose in Brixham Devon to buy a boat and tour like yourselves.
Hopefully see you on the cut one day then. Wishing you all the best on your boating adventures 😊
Beautiful. Did you pop into Macclesfield? I used to live there for a couple of years, very historic place xx
Hi Dawn, no we didn't actually but we are on the way back down the canal now and not far from maccesfield so will pop there in the car as I need to get to a shop. 😊
There’s a lot of one way roads around there just be warned - I used to get lost when I first lived there! X
I gather you didn't do the magnificent peak forest canal lovely moorings at Bugsworth ( now called but worth for tourist reasons)
Yes we had a couple of nights there, you'll see that in next week's video 😉😊
Xx
Thanks for watching 😊
I've just been watching some early vlogs about your battery replacement with the expensive one. Was it one battery to replace the three?
Hi there yes we had 3 and we opted for one lithiam 300ah 😊
