  • In this week's vlog, as I leave the River Nene, I celebrate the villages of Elton and Wadenhoe, buy a narrowboat essential and reflect for a while. Come and join me whilst I pause in my narrowboat life. Sit back, relax and enjoy! Take care x

    Hello Vanessa - greetings from Poland
    I've reached vlog No. 70 - Northampton Arm. I loved the villages of Elton and Wadenhoe. Seeing Zephyr up on that roof, meeting a cat coming the other way was brilliant!
    Having passed under Lilford Bridge, your close up camera work was fabulous, especially the shots of the fungii and the squirrel. The closing shot of your manoeuvre into the lock was superb.
    Thanks for this lovely video. I really enjoyed it.

    Your observation of nature never ceases to amaze me.That lichen is phenomenal. I absolutely love your new kettle and so unusual and different from the norm.

    • @themindfulnarrowboat
      @themindfulnarrowboat  3 года назад +2

      The kettle is certainly unusual, but then having your own coffee machine is unusual too😆 I absolutely love the pixie cup lichen and I spent ages staring at it. Lichen is part fungi, part algae which also amazes me! Have a super weekend 🌻🦋

    I think alot of the red berries along the towpaths are edible in some form. Hope you picked loads of them for later and made something delicious. Great vlogs Mrs mindful. I'm from Bournemouth so the south coast is dear to me. Take care.

      Bournemouth is a beautiful place and I can see why it’s so special to you. Watch those red berries though as some of them are deadly! Thank you for your lovely comment 🌻🦋 Have a super weekend 👍

    Another fantastic vlog and thanks again. I love your kettle it’s a beauty and a work of art. I grew up on a farm and it’s most unusual for a sheep to come that close to a dog. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful and relaxing vlog.

      Hi Jack, thank you for your lovely comment. I thought it was very strange when the sheep came so close to Zephyr; my dog was actually quite frightened by it! 🐑 Have a great week!🦋🌻

    What pretty villages! Your photography is stunning! I like your wellness kettle too. We have tea every day. I use a bone china cup and saucer. To me, tea tastes so much better in a bone china cup! Thanks, Vanessa!😊

    The kettle looks as though it was specially designed for Alice Grace. Coords with her colour scheme and wood work perfectly. Such thought has gone into the design. Looks pricey but perfect. Enjoying watching these vlogs as we get ready for autumn again .

      Unfortunately, the kettle could not cope with the amount of tea that I drink and so now, I have a new kettle that I bought in a charity shop which is really up to the job! 😂 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻

    I've just seen that NarrowboatWill has commented as well. It seems that the other vloggers enjoy your work! Somehow this channel seems to have gone under the radar. (perhaps driving over a weir, or a head on crash, on the next thumbnail, will do the trick haha) I reckon you should be on 10 times the amount of subscribers! I've said it before, this channel is "DELIGHTFUL"

      You're absolutely right! This is such a special vlog that, for me, captures the beauty and realities of being on the water. I am in awe of Vanessa's talent and craft, which she presents with such a self-effacing light-touch. It does deserve - and am sure will get - the wider recognition it deserves.

    • @chrisabbott7458
      @chrisabbott7458 3 года назад +5

      It certainly needs much wider recognition.It is so different from all the other vlogs. Having met Vanessa she deserves far more subscribers,she is such a lovely genuine lady.

    I know this stretch so well, but only from the road - the A-somethingteen-and-annonymous. A grey asphalt ribbon that can't decide if it's a dual-carriageway or not. It's on the way to Dad's (and Mum's when she was alive) and so is now lacquered with so many memories. I love that landscape of church spires and towers. Your eye can hop from spire to spire!
