Honestly, I don't think the two of you are talking over each other. You are completing each other's thoughts, which is a sign of how wonderful your relationship is. Like minds, and all that. It's absolutely charming.
You are a hero for cutting up that tree! Most of us would just have called out CRT and waited for them to remove it. You definitely deserve a right nice pint or three for your efforts!
Can I have a signed photograph please, soon, before you are soooo famous it all becomes too much ? Not only are you featured on "Tales from the Swansneck " this week, and Floating Our Boat , now you have had multiple mentions on Love Life & Triumph in the four episodes since I’ve been watching them ..... you’ll be on CTC before we know it .....don’t forget us lowly viewers , lol !
Don’t be embarrassed Deb...you’re both doing a fantastic service...particularly for us who are probably about to go into hard lockdown in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺...you’re both providing a wonderful escape!
Very much enjoyed this journey with you. Crisply shot and immersive to watch. I've never been on a canal boat holiday but would now love to, it looks like just my cup of tea. It's good to have connected with you.
I have been binge watching your videos for 2 days straight now they are awesome. Love the effort you went to setting up a green screen to fake being on a canal... LOL Joking. the banter between you two is great. Keep doing what your doing.
G'day Debs & Mark. Another very enjoyable video. Great effort Mark clearing that tree, hope you had a beer waiting for you on your return. Have a great weekend. Debbie & Patrick Christchurch New Zealand.
Good Guy 👍.....Tree👎 Time for a cold one. (Saw you two on another narrowboat couple's vid...floating our boat...having a drink or two .🍻🥂) Peaceful.....nicely done.
Good for you for taking out that tree. Of course you didn't have to, but we all need to do our part, and you did your part big time. Hats off to you! super videos. super fun comments. 🙂
Great vlog Deb & Mark again....very smooth to watch... with action too (Mark being the wood chopper to the rescue) thanks again from Deb (Melb, Australia) ;)
@@welldeckdiaries5610 Yep 32oc its our spring weather a nice sunny day a really hot day for us is like 38-40oc lol having said that we had a really sunny day today but its winter so we are all rugged up with light coats & jumpers at 16oc it will only be 7oc tonight .we are lucky here winter nights hardly ever get to 0oc only about 2oc ....enjoy your summer as your winters are snowy & freezing ....I am by the beach here where it doesn't snow ;)
Ah so there is life after lock down, and what a way to do it in style, its a few years since we lived in Hereford and went to the Llangollen canal to cycle, always wanted to do the canals but now living in Scotland but we do have a few and very scenic too, Love your videos
you can make a guard for your bow-saw blade out of a piece of discarded garden hose. Split it lengthwise and just slip it over the teeth. It will help to keep a new (or re-sharpened) blade sharp and protect other items from being scratched by the teeth.
looks like you've more energy than me mark lol , never seen anyone cut trees in fast motion lol , the crt should pay you for that , the weather seems to be up & down at the moment , i wish it would make it's mind up , i went to town yesterday but only stuck it for about 2 hours , it was way too hot , even my feet felt like they were on fire , i don't envy you two on a barge in this weather , take care both of you . 😉 xx
The weather is like you said Lori a bit hit and miss but we keep all the curtains closed and have two little fans and that seems to be doing the trick Thankyou for watching and stay safe .Debbie x
Hello Guys, Well... so is mark now offering tree surgery as I have a small orchard that will need pollarding in October!! I will provide beer gin and tea as required! Great video as ever..Thank you..Be safe and be well xx
what a lovely video , loved everything about it . parking in that shady bit was magical , i can't be having any heat .my little condo sees morning sun , perfect for the flowers .peaceful and quiet . sometimes a wedding at the mansion next door .you would love it Deb !
There is a Red Lion in Ellesmere (SP) that I highly recommend. Last year, in June, I hired a car for 8 days, we left Stoke-on-trent and we drove to the coast of Wales. Got to Ellesmere around noon, decided to stop for lunch and so glad we did. Excellent meal. On the way back I even altered our route just to stop at the Red Lion again.
You guys seem like you are living the dream..I want your lives....lol Kris from Maryland. .you guys are hilarious..any single gents..lol I think couples learn to help each other after so many years, you guys are cute..keep it coming
You wanna steer clear of blacked passages!!!! As gin connoisseurs did you know we had fab Manx fins called Finoderee - they make seasonal versions with foraged stuff (you can see I'm running out of technical terms now) You'll like it - when we eventually hit the water (boat in build) we will share a bottle if we see you out and about. Take care
Frances Dale Breasley, you took the words right out of my mouth! Mark, what a man! Wet wood, blunt saw, and all done in 15 mins? And the wood properly and thoughtfully disposed of! Looking forward to the next vid already! xx
Love following your narrowboat adventures, thank you for sharing your experiences. ❤ We hired from Bettisfield Boats & travelled this beautiful canal in 2016. Lovely people & wonderful experience on the Llangollen Canal. Would love to be back there again. 💕
Well Deck Diaries it was our first narrow boat experience, and the question of buying one was brought up every night over food. Not sure we are ready to sell the house yet, but after the week up there, I am not sure another holiday will ever compare. Every day was just amazing scenery, more friendly people than I have ever encountered and a nice slow chugging pace. I was hoarse at the end of each day from saying hello to everyone
I VANT TO BE A TREEE ..... spent all day floating about the sea on my slightly undersized ,inflatable with a 1950's british anzani pilot ,tried to tie up to a bouy turned out to be a rather supprised seal , he just looked at me like "WTF you doin" with big sad eyes , great vid as always ,lots of love big flippers x
Well done!!! If you're ever in the states, I have a few trees 🌳 that need trimming. 🙃🙃 Lovely canal. Great video. Cheers!! Very cheeky Mark!!! Deb, you are such a good sport.
16:31 - when I was sailing on the Grand Union and Oxford two years ago, I passed a different “Tickety Boo”, AND a “Tik-A-T-Boo”! I thought I had seen a third, but I don’t seem to have made a note of it.
Thank you both so much for sharing the video! And good on you for clearing the canal and the towpath! Best to you both and hopefully you get great cruising weather aside form the heatwave :)
Way to tackle that tree... You showed it who was boss Mark! You two make me laugh and I really enjoy watching your vlogs. Not only entertaining but also informative! Keep on cruising and boozing❣ Stay healthy and happy❣ ☮❤😁
Thanks for the mention in this week's vlog. Looking forward to catching up again for another hydration session in the future Keep up the great work Val & Ade (nb Jack N Janner)
Shout out. Passed you yesterday in Nantwich , held back at the bridge for you just before the winding hole. We were on our way back from Tewkesbury to Swanley Marina. Hope you enjoyed the Llangollen.
Moored in the Elsmere arm over two winters whilst on our boat full time, Used the CRT drydock it was very reasonable when we used it and we could stay on the boat!
@@welldeckdiaries5610 Certainly the case when we were there! Local tool hire supplies the pressure washer for cleaning the hull and marina opposite stocks blacking. But it is popular so booking ahead was the norm.
What a gent clearing the tree. I love that stretch of the canal, during our boating days we moored at Whixall marina so I know it well. Keep up the good work with the videos, always so cheerful and you make me smile. Keep safe.
Another good deed! I'd been wondering if the CRT allowed people to DIY blockages like that. Here in the U.S. there would probably be rules against it because of liability. We have a lot of such crazy regulations.
Quite a lot of boater carry chain saws for that purpose and to collect fallen wood for their wood burning stoves. I think ATM because you take it on yourself the it your own fault if you saw your leg off🤣
Love the Huntington Beach shirt. I grew up in Huntington Beach in the 60s when it was the surfing capital of the world. "Surf City" is what we called it.
Now I’m humming that darned song. Lol. Your vlogs are great and I really look forward to them every week so don’t pay attention to those grumps who make negative remarks. You do you with pointy fingers and lots of chat and boats passing . Hugs as ever🇨🇦👍
👍👍Great job on the tree. Living in the forest, J & I have lost count of the number of trees we either pulled or cut off the roads. Personally and professionally, I applaud people who roll up their sleeves to care for recreation resources.
My favorite moment is 9:25 when Debbie tells a man to turn his music down or she'll snap his neck like a twig and feed him to the baby ducks over there & then laughs at him when he starts to grovel.
For anyone that doesn't know you can just click on the blue numbers right here 9:25 to take you right to the part. It's a better effect then fast forwarding.
@@frankburns3871 Thanks Frank, l will know to use that next time. l just went to about 8.30 to get a 'run up' to it, you know, 'get my ear in'. What a nice lot Debs & Mark's watchers are!
Another great video folks. When international travel starts back up, I’ve decided it’s another Uk holiday for me, and a week on a hotel narrow boat. I’ve even got an audiobook from the library called water Gypsies, it’s about a narrow boat family in the war years on the canals (obviously😊). I think I was a narrowboater in a past life. 💗
Katelyn Newlands Better still hire a self drive narrowboat and have the total freedom to cruise as much or as little as you wish, at your own pace. You need two people minimum, but personally I'd rather travel with friends or family than a hotel boat owner / skipper.
Spencer Wilton thanks for the advice, I’ll be coming from Oz, and won’t be able to do it with friends, but I have found a couple who take on travellers and the travellers can help if they want with to, it will probably be ages before it happens, we aren’t allowed out of Oz till goodness knows when.
Great video guys and well done Mark for the tree (and not talking over Debbie which always drives me nuts 😉). We love Ellesmere it’s a beautiful part of the world. Have fun x
Mark and Debs we are cruising the Llangollen in September, do you know of a fuel boat on the cut up there? Love the Vlogs and we have taken the plunge further to buy we now have a share in a boat for a year so we can get into the seasons. Stay safe and keep up the great work. Dave and Fiona x
Saw you on Floating Our Boat! Nice job! Do you really want a New Boat? Make sure if you want a new one that it has a bow and stern thruster plus two electric drives and only a generator with no diesel drive. Make sure you have a ton of solar and a nice stove for the winter and a small AC unit for sleeping on very hot days. Any way have a nice cruise you two, it was very fun!
Hi Mark Debbie nice video again, can’t wait to see the drone video, I have a drone but useless with it, it would end up in the cut. I take it you don’t fish Mark I love it, I’d be doing more fishing than cruising. 🥂both . Steve
Hi guys love the l Vlog... I hope your sending CRT an invoice for your services. They need to get out and trim the foot paths and river sides ... Keep safe thanks for sharing. Chet
Hi you two, another good vlog, I thought you should have named the vlog not how too but how I do ! clear the cut of trees! Lol. Perhaps a bit of part time work as a tree clearer to the CRT. Well done, looking forward to next week. Stay safe.
Not commented for a while (to be honest I usually watch your videos on the TV so can't comment) but had to find it on the computer to comment :D The part about having to move the boat as you had no phone signal and had a video to upload....how you guys have come on as I remember your first video which you expected to be only one video I guess by the tone of it as a little hello to your family and now you have a new online family to keep in touch with :D
Thanks for taking the time to comment Barry, We actually watched our very first video recently and remember how unnatural it felt talking to camera and now its just the norm and we have a lot of fun making the vids, and love all the comments from our online family
Lovely vid as usual and such a lovely couple you dovetail each other so well, and are so in tune with each other. Mark you should get a reduction in your yearly charges to canal trust for removing that large tree 🌳 All on your own. Xx 😘
Hi guys... thanks for another lovely video... I'm so waiting for your response to the Weir ed Mark's shot at you guys....lol.... i reckon it will be good...lol... keep safe until the next one....

Awww, Thanks Leeann❤️
Kind job on the tree. You said, "At least it's out of the water." but you went the extra step of also clearing the tow path. What a good cut citizen!
The towpath bit of the tree was the hardest bit to saw 👍
What a joy it is to watch your Vlogs, you cheer me up no end. Mark, you should get an award from the CRT for all the money you've saved them.
So glad to hear we're keeping you happy
Who needs a chain saw when you have speed like that. You make our day. Thank you.
Ha Ha, wish I could have cut it in fast forward,
Hope you are both well
You are a hero for cutting up that tree! Most of us would just have called out CRT and waited for them to remove it. You definitely deserve a right nice pint or three for your efforts!
Thanks Rod 🍺🍺 👍
That’s a good man in removing that tree. Your helping out the community and that’s what everyone needs to do. 👍🏻
Thanks👍
WELL DONE GETTING RID OF THE FALLEN TREE...LIKE THE DUCKS FOLLOWING YOU AS YOU REVERSED...

I don’t know why anyone would bother hitting the thumb down button. I guess some folks have nothing better to do ! I just love your videos! 😍🥰😘
We agree!
Ah so there is life after lock down, and what a way to do it in style, its a few years since we lived in Hereford and went to the Llangollen canal to cycle, always wanted to do the canals
but now living in Scotland but we do have a few and very scenic too, Love your videos
We've never been to Scotland, would love to for the scenery, Im sure we will visit one day
@@welldeckdiaries5610 Well you will have a treat, we have the falkirk wheel, and the kelpies plus the stunning scenery, may and september are good
Very commendable clearing that fallen tree , that's definite have a cold beer time !!

Oh dear pmsl when you said get your chopper out.

I really did'n't know that there were so many waterways around the country.
Its amazing just how many there are

Im a slave to your entertainment 🤣😂
Thanks for a great vlog and standing in front of green screening, projecting boats to ‘prove’ you were on the river..oops gave your secret away 😂😂😂👍
It took them 3 days to get that footage too. 👍
Oh no😱 my secrets out 🤣😂
You guys seem like you are living the dream..I want your lives....lol
Kris from Maryland. .you guys are hilarious..any single gents..lol
I think couples learn to help each other after so many years, you guys are cute..keep it coming
Thanks so much Kris, theres lots of single gents on the waterways 👍
They do make battery powered chain saws that work really well, dewalt tools.
Debbie thinks I'll saw a leg off with a chain saw 🤣
@@welldeckdiaries5610 well if that happened then you would have to get a eye patch and a parrot

Take care
Look forward to sharing that bottle one day Judi
Frances Dale Breasley, you took the words right out of my mouth!

Mmm. As long as he doesn't wear his pants over his trousers . . . thinking up super-hero names will keep me occupied fir a while . . . xx

Fabulous video and I'm quite exhausted from watching you deal with that tree. Think I should have a glass of wine and put my feet up.
Sit back and relax Viv 🤣🥂
Love following your narrowboat adventures, thank you for sharing your experiences. ❤ We hired from Bettisfield Boats & travelled this beautiful canal in 2016. Lovely people & wonderful experience on the Llangollen Canal. Would love to be back there again. 💕
Seanne, Let hope you get to do it again one day, ❤️
Just got back today from a week on a hired narrow boat on the Llangollen canal. I never see you or I would have waved hello.
👋👋 Did you enjoy you time on the Llangollen?
Well Deck Diaries it was our first narrow boat experience, and the question of buying one was brought up every night over food. Not sure we are ready to sell the house yet, but after the week up there, I am not sure another holiday will ever compare. Every day was just amazing scenery, more friendly people than I have ever encountered and a nice slow chugging pace. I was hoarse at the end of each day from saying hello to everyone
I carried a bow saw, in case of fallen trees,but in 18 years never had to use it.
Lucky you 👍
Ryte nyce bit o lumberjackin 😁
William Olsmit couldn’t of worded it better myself 👍
Thank you it looks so nice big hand to you Mark for clearing the tree not just the canal but tow path too
The towpath bit was the hardest
I VANT TO BE A TREEE ..... spent all day floating about the sea on my slightly undersized ,inflatable with a 1950's british anzani pilot ,tried to tie up to a bouy turned out to be a rather supprised seal , he just looked at me like "WTF you doin" with big sad eyes , great vid as always ,lots of love big flippers x
Got a weird vision of you with one of those giant mono flippers on each foot 🤣😂
Loved those boats going past. A fantastic vidio
Glad you enjoyed it Chris, thanks👍
Well done!!! If you're ever in the states, I have a few trees 🌳 that need trimming. 🙃🙃 Lovely canal. Great video. Cheers!! Very cheeky Mark!!! Deb, you are such a good sport.
You've got to be a bit cheeky every now and then 😜
Thats my tree trimming done for the year I hope
Lovely vlog, and keep waving !!!!!!
Thank you, I will
You sure do need a multipurpose battery power tool....winding them locks and chainsaw....
Stay safe
I could Patent one 👍
16:31 - when I was sailing on the Grand Union and Oxford two years ago, I passed a different “Tickety Boo”, AND a “Tik-A-T-Boo”!
I thought I had seen a third, but I don’t seem to have made a note of it.
we've just seen the 1 so far
Thank you both so much for sharing the video! And good on you for clearing the canal and the towpath! Best to you both and hopefully you get great cruising weather aside form the heatwave :)
Our pleasure Sean, as you know in Britain we don't get to many of those hot days without a couple of days of cloud or rain in between 🤣
Your skills at tree removal would make any Beaver jealous! Good deed done for the day!
Ha Ha, I might have to practice my dam building though 🤣
Enjoyed a closer look at the many moored boats. Love the colors.
Thanks 👍
A fabulous job clearing that tree loads of brownie points well,a lovely video again guys well done just beautiful thanks again
Our pleasure Phillip
Nice one guys as usual. Great to see your smiles in real life.
Keep them coming........from the guy on nb Tickety boo.
Thank you! Will do Steve! Hope you didn't mind us giving you a little shout out 👍
Thankyou so much Steve it was lovely to see you .Debbie x
Way to tackle that tree... You showed it who was boss Mark! You two make me laugh and I really enjoy watching your vlogs. Not only entertaining but also informative! Keep on cruising and boozing❣ Stay healthy and happy❣ ☮❤😁
So glad we're keeping you entertained Erin👍
You two crack me up... Love it.
Glad to hear that
such a great pair,funny to.
Cheers Jeff👍
Well done with the tree! We've been building a list of must haves for aboard...chop saw is already on that list.
Good choice!

Shout out. Passed you yesterday in Nantwich , held back at the bridge for you just before the winding hole. We were on our way back from Tewkesbury to Swanley Marina. Hope you enjoyed the Llangollen.
Thanks for holding back, it always hard to judge who is nearer to the bridge, I thought you was👍
Not allowed to wave got me laughing! It’s nice to see you having such fun with each other! Stay safe👍✌️😊🙏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it 👍

Spencer Wilton thanks for the advice, I’ll be coming from Oz, and won’t be able to do it with friends, but I have found a couple who take on travellers and the travellers can help if they want with to, it will probably be ages before it happens, we aren’t allowed out of Oz till goodness knows when.
We've seen this beautiful hotel boat on our travels

Im now going to look for the book you mentioned
Well Deck Diaries thx for that info. I’ll look this up also 💗
Well Deck Diaries this was one I looked at, are they followers ? www.narrowboatellis.com/
You always brighten my day - many thanks!
I'm so glad to hear that ❤️
Thank you both, love the banter, take care.
Our pleasure Christine
Great video guys and well done Mark for the tree (and not talking over Debbie which always drives me nuts 😉). We love Ellesmere it’s a beautiful part of the world. Have fun x
Ha Ha, It drives Debbie nuts too, but after 36 year together I've learnt if I want to be heard I have to push in🤣
Well Deck Diaries Oooh dangerous territory there 😂
Mark and Debs we are cruising the Llangollen in September, do you know of a fuel boat on the cut up there? Love the Vlogs and we have taken the plunge further to buy we now have a share in a boat for a year so we can get into the seasons. Stay safe and keep up the great work. Dave and Fiona x
There is a fuel boat that works along the Llangollen, our friends used them and was filled up at Chirk but I don't know the name of the company
@@welldeckdiaries5610 thank you a will research, enjoy your journey and love the vlogs, stay safe and enjoy the gin👍
Is been 34c in dudley and brum today nice video as usual
Phew, warm everywhere I think
Hi Pete yes it has been really warm hope your doing ok .Debbie x
Tanks för #xx of lovely vlogs! I have no more comments at the moment. I hope your not dissapoined!
No worries Rolf, as long as you still love the videos and hit that like button thats all that matters👍
Saw you on Floating Our Boat! Nice job! Do you really want a New Boat? Make sure if you want a new one that it has a bow and stern thruster plus two electric drives and only a generator with no diesel drive. Make sure you have a ton of solar and a nice stove for the winter and a small AC unit for sleeping on very hot days. Any way have a nice cruise you two, it was very fun!
I think if we changed boat it would be for one with an engine room with an old classic Gardner 2LW engine
Hi Mark Debbie nice video again, can’t wait to see the drone video, I have a drone but useless with it, it would end up in the cut. I take it you don’t fish Mark I love it, I’d be doing more fishing than cruising. 🥂both . Steve
Only got my first fishing rod for fathers day last year, caught a fish and had to google it as I didn't have a clue to what it was 🤣😂
Can’t help you with a blunt bow saw but, cheep trick: rubbing candle wax on the blade always makes green wood easier to cut 😉
Will try that next time 👍
Another great vid. Always a pleasure to catch up with your adventures on the canals.
Glad you like them Doug👍!
Hi guys love the l
Vlog... I hope your sending CRT an invoice for your services. They need to get out and trim the foot paths and river sides ... Keep safe thanks for sharing. Chet
Maybe they can send me a new blade for my bow saw👍
They'd more likely send him a fine for doing their job (that they don't do very well).
Hi you two, another good vlog, I thought you should have named the vlog not how too but how I do ! clear the cut of trees! Lol. Perhaps a bit of part time work as a tree clearer to the CRT. Well done, looking forward to next week. Stay safe.
Ha Ha Anne, I never even thought of that 👍. I think I'll have to do a "Not how to but how I do" wood cutting video
Look forward to it Mark.
Not commented for a while (to be honest I usually watch your videos on the TV so can't comment) but had to find it on the computer to comment :D The part about having to move the boat as you had no phone signal and had a video to upload....how you guys have come on as I remember your first video which you expected to be only one video I guess by the tone of it as a little hello to your family and now you have a new online family to keep in touch with :D
Thanks for taking the time to comment Barry, We actually watched our very first video recently and remember how unnatural it felt talking to camera and now its just the norm and we have a lot of fun making the vids, and love all the comments from our online family
Great job on that tree Mark 😅
Thanks Brian 👍
great vlog mike and debs
Thanks Andi👍
Lovely vid as usual and such a lovely couple you dovetail each other so well, and are so in tune with each other. Mark you should get a reduction in your yearly charges to canal trust for removing that large tree 🌳 All on your own. Xx 😘
Love that, "dove tail each other" ❤️
Either a reduction in fees or a free chain saw 👍
Hi guys... thanks for another lovely video... I'm so waiting for your response to the Weir ed Mark's shot at you guys....lol.... i reckon it will be good...lol... keep safe until the next one....
It might take a while but Mr Weir knows I will be thinking something up 🤣😂
Methinks you need a new blade for the bowsaw!
Got one on order👍
