How I get water on my narrowboat (and do a three-point turn)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 апр 2024
- It's the third video of me on my narrowboat and I think I come across as a bit miserable in this one... I promise I'm more cheerful in real life!
I needed to move my boat after being moored in the same spot for two weeks and I also needed to get water, which meant turning the boat around in the canal. As you'll see from the video it's a bit more difficult than turning a car around.
Thanks again to everyone who has been watching these videos!

Bet you're shocked how successful your vlogs are Betty? It's because you're clearly a lovely, genuine person, like an instant friend. everyone can just relate to you. I'm so pleased for you and wish you every happiness. Tony 😊
Yes I am shocked! It's a lot to get used to. 😬
i know it makes me so happy, to see someone so lovely and clearly nervous be rewarded for their work. so well deserved
@@bettyonaboatI'm really happy for you Betty as you deserve it as your so friendly and make us feel like we already know you. I know I enjoy your videos so much already and really appreciate you sharing your life with us xx
No idea why you turned up in my youtube feed, but I have just watched all your videos in sequence and they are so refreshing. Part of the charm is you just being you - natural and relatable - a rare treat on You tube.
Ah thank you, it's nice to know that someone appreciates me being me!
@@bettyonaboat I appreciate you being you as that is what makes your videos so good ❤️
@@stephenpyner4156 Thank you! 🙂
Ditto.
Thanks Betty. Another very well put together no nonsense explanation of daily life on a narrow boat. Please keep em coming. 👍
Thanks, I'm glad you appreciated the explanation! 👍
@@bettyonaboatI am curious, or rather intrigued, about what you were cooking in your cooking pot.
@@MrCoxy38 it was risotto
Yes, it was mushroom risotto!
Mushroom stroganoff my all time favourite 😋
These little "slice of life" videos are lovely. Your pacing and deliberate speech is so refreshing for youtube - a place normally full of smash cuts and people talking at 150mph. 8-10 mins is the perfect cup of tea/coffee time.
I'm quite jealous of your boat and the lovely life you seem to have on it Betty.
I think my slow pacing is just because I'm trying to think what to say! I'm glad you appreciate it anyway.
@@bettyonaboat It's a good quality to have. I often talk myself into a corner by not thinking about what my next word is going to be. Your videos are a nice reminder that taking that extra bit of thinking time is worth it.
Why are these little episodes so enjoyable and calming? Keep them coming.
I don't know but I'm glad people like them!
@@bettyonaboat we all love your videos because you are so welcoming and such an interesting young lady who is appealling to the masses 😊
soothing voice :)
Because she's a women of course😅
Another refreshingly honest and naturaly presented video. Just to ease your mind, your videos are not boring at all, it's such a nice change to see a "normal" person sharing their experiences. Keep em coming 😊
Thank you, that's reassuring! ☺
Showing a pinch of a life we all hanker after. Thank you 👍🏼
You're welcome!
I like your honest delivery. You'll warm into this as you go along. Congrats on being brave enough to actually start posting videos.
Thank you, I'm glad I've given it a go!
Hi Betty
Nearly 10,000 subscribers in the first month, you're clearly doing something right, as others have said it's probably down to your warm appealing charm, your simple straight forward dialogue and the fact that people can relate to the simplistic lifestyle that you live, If I had the opportunity to live like that I would jump at the chance.
good luck with the channel, all the best for the future.
Thank you, that's really kind of you to say. 🙂 I'm glad I've given it a go and I'm going to carry on for as long as I enjoy it.
thumbs up to all you subscribers you have restored my faith in the human race . thought i was original when i commented on bettys lovely personality but , having read some comments it appears universal . poor girl cant possibly have expected this number of views /subscriptions and comments - goina need a pa soon to handle all this fanmail . good luck to all especially betty you deserve all the plaudits !
It does seem like a full-time job reading and replying to them all! It's nice to see that people are saying such positive things though as the internet can often be a negative place.
@@bettyonaboat it's because your kind. tone
I’m viewing from Australia. My ancestors go back centuries in UK. I think I must have narrow boats and canal living in my DNA, I would love to live like this. ❤
I think I must have too! I recently found out that my granny's father used to work on boats as a volunteer helping at somewhere that did trips for children.
Does anyone else duck when Betty goes under the bridges ? 😂
Another great video Betty! Thanks for sharing ☀️
I would have to I'm 6'6" 😂
Yeah I shrunk into my shoulders a bit, and did wonder if Betty had to duck. It did look pretty low to the barge's roof eh
Now I'm wondering myself if I had to duck... I can't remember doing so but I'm quite short!
Yes, I do 😂
The RUclips algorithm brought me to your channel and I’m so happy it did. I lived near the Ripon canal as a teenager. We used to help the boats through the locks. These are lovely, informative videos. Calming too. Keep them coming. I’d love to know how you came to be Betty on a boat.
This is exactly what RUclips should be! Please consider keeping doing these videos they are fantastic! I love living vicariously through others who have a life on the canals! Maybe one day....
Thank you, I do hope to do more videos if I can!
Hi, I had a quick look through the comments to see if anyone else mentioned your hot water but can't see any, so, in case anyone is a little confused... the hot water coming from the tap/shower isn't actually the same water used to cool the engine, it's pumped through a heat exchanger that's mounted to the engine and back to the hot water storage tank. I'm not a boater myself but I do work on a few boats as a mechanic, so I've been to most of the marina's in your area, including Shardlow. Thanks for continuing to post videos.
Thank you, that explains it better than I ever could!
The same water that cools the engine (and has antifreeze in it) goes through a coil inside the hot water cylinder (calorifier), so the two never mix. This is similar to the hot water cylinders in a domestic house but, because the heat source (the engine) is uncontrolled, it can get very hot. To overcome this, there is a blending valve that mixes hot and cold water to a safe temperature when it is delivered to the taps.
Great video Betty. You are so instantly likeable and great in front of the camera. You should be so proud that you took the leap and uploaded that first video. I think it is safe to say from the comments we are all glad you did. 😀
Thank you very much!
Hi! It was interesting that you mentioned your Barge Pole. I think most people are familiar with the term "I wouldn't touch it with a Barge Pole!" without even realising what it actually is! 😀😀
That's true! I think there are a few more phrases derived from canals but I can't remember them off the top of my head.
@@bettyonaboat Yeah you're right, I mean there's "barging through" "Argy Bargy!" there's loads!😄
@@ashstubbings2603 i never even realised... love it
Hello Betty - greetings from Florida. My wife and I enjoyed watching your latest video today. My wife is originally from England and enjoys the history and beautiful views from your narrow boat on the canals. Good luck with your channel!
Greetings from England to you and your wife! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I hope to show more beautiful views!
That looks like a beautiful part of the country. Keep on chugging along, Betty!!
It is, although I find that canals are beautiful in most parts of the country!
I love how relaxing these videos are, I'm enjoying them a lot and was happy to see a new one. Thanks Betty.
Thank you, it's nice to know you're enjoying them!
Every time I look into my camera and speak, I get a mouthful of coat angers, I think your doing really well. Another 10 video's and we will nominate you for an Emmy:)
Thank you! 😂
You look serious, not miserable. You're doing fine, it's great to watch you.
I can be quite a silly person in real life but it doesn't come across in these videos. Maybe it will eventually!
@@bettyonaboat it will don't worry! I imagine it's a steep learning curve not only filming, but being in front of a camera! It will slowly feel more natural and you'll be more comfortable letting your true character show through. Don't worry, I think we all understand this and just love seeing you putting yourself out there! Keep going, your editing is great, quality is there (it's great that you're adding the details of where you are, history etc) - so all else will follow 💪
@@davidprice329 Thanks for the encouragement! 🙂
A decent sized solar panel on the roof is a great investment for a narrow boat. Keep up the great videos Betty, very relaxing to watch.
Yes I'm thinking of upgrading!
Betty just started watching your vlog's, Thank you for all the information about how do things, very interesting. The sections where you are just cruising, i think would be more interesting if you included, where you are (no exact details) any interesting items along the way. Thank you for what you already produce.
Thanks for that. I like that you explain elements of boating life that other canal travellers gloss over. Especially of interest to your land-locked viewers like myself.
Thank you, I'm not sure why I started explaining things really but I'm glad you appreciate it. I think it's because there wasn't anyone to talk to while I was filming them and I didn't know what else to talk about!
@@bettyonaboat I've often wondered if canal boating life doesn't appeal more to introverts than extroverts. If so, talking to one's self or a pet often seems like a good way of having a conversation. 🙂
Watching this on a sunny morning with a cuppa in hand. Lovely!
I'm replying to comments on a sunny afternoon with a cuppa in my hand!
Hi Betty, I absolutely love your videos. I used to go on canal holidays all over the country every year with a group at work and I often wondered how easy it would be to do one single handedly. I'm now 81 but your lovely videos are making me think about having a try, lift bridges notwithstanding.
Refreshing to see an honest, no nonsense view of life on a narrow boat. All power to you. ❤️
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
14, 000 subscribers - wow! I think you are just lovely to watch and listen to. It's peaceful watching you drift along the canals, and for you to tell us about your boat. I really enjoy your videos. You are so natural. Thank you.
Beautifully colour coded, your stripes and the kettle. Of course, bonus points for the dungarees :)
Still watching you from the Greek island of Rhodes. I love you and I love your narrowboat. A dream come true.
Thanks for watching!
You’ve really nailed the video and audio production on these vlogs. Really well lit, crystal clear and nicely edited. Could you please do some on the practicalities of how you live on a boat, ie mooring or continuous cruising, laundry, bills, post, wifi, shopping, all the stuff we take for granted. Thank you!
Thank you! I'll make a note of these topics for future videos!
Betty, don't worry about how you come across - you are dee-lite-ful and clearly in your element.
Thank you for the encouragement!
Another superb video Betty, thank you for sharing! I like the way you speed-up the cruising so we see more in less time. You're becoming so confident in your vlogging now and you didn't come across as miserable at all, please keep on with the great content 🙏
I have to speed it up or the video would be an hour long! I'm glad I didn't come across as miserable anyway!
@@bettyonaboat I have never found you miserable yet Betty and could watch you for an hour or more if you ever decided to make a video that long as your such a pleasure to watch 😊
Love the channel and for once I’m here at the start in real time seeing the progress. Desperate to get my own boat but in the mean time I have folk like you keeping my dream at the forefront of my mind. 👍
Thank you, I hope you get to live your dream one day!
in this world we live in its so truly lovely there are people making such nice channels i wish you all the best young lady
Thank you very much!
Just came accross your channel today, what a lovely set of videos. I love been on the water such a different calm pace of life. Ive spent many months in shardlow and the marina as i worked at the power station there. Also very well done for doin this solo keep up the good work 😊
Great to see another video from you Betty. Thanks for sharing!
I have boats in my blood (dad was a deep sea fisherman), so love seeing these sort of vids, and yours just seem so natural and unforced. Keep them coming!
Thank you, I was worried I come across as boring!
Hi Betty, nice to see you back again. Lovely video as always I really enjoy watching them , keep them coming👍
Thank you, it's nice to see someone back to watch another one!
@@bettyonaboat I've watched all your videos so far betty and will continue to watch every one of them in the future for as long as you keep making them as I love your videos so much ❤️ xx
I love your videos so far. They’re really well shot and edited, but you’ve kept a lovely natural, human aspect that some RUclips films somehow lose. I’ve got so many questions about narrowboat life. It looks so idyllic but I know there are obstacles. I can’t wait for more videos explaining how you go about living the life. Please keep the videos coming! x
I'm glad you like the videos so far - hopefully my future ones will answer your questions!
You show us part of England we - as foreigners - have no chance to see. I do know England by their ports i.e. Marina's like Dover, the Poole area, Falmouth, before crossing the Atlantic Golf of Biscay. So nice are the inland waterways, even not comparable to the Dutch ones which I know quite well. So, go on and let us enjoy your little travels!
I'd love to hear how you decided to live on a narrowboat, how long you've been at it, and a full tour of your boat interior.
I do plan to do a boat tour in future and talk more about my boating background!
Thanks for the vid, it looks like you’re getting more comfortable in front of the camera 👍 Thank you for the ‘water works’ explanation 😊 Safe travels 👍
Thank you, I did feel more comfortable doing this one!
nice bright boat, lovely light inside, nice camera work and sound look forward to more YTube canal travels
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
You have done a fantastic job of describing the joy of boat life without harping on about the problems of RUclips. 0:08
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the video!
You’re doing a great job. Informative and interesting at all times. Thank you and keep up the good work, it is much appreciated.
Thank you, I appreciate you giving me such kind feedback. 🙂
Hi Betty, another great video, don't worry if people might think your videos are boring as they aren't, I have found every one of them interesting and really enjoy watching you. What you cooked for your lunch looked lovely. Would love to see you do a tour of your boat if possible ❤
It was risotto! I do plan to do a boat tour in future. I'm glad you've found the videos interesting. 🙂
@@bettyonaboat mmm I wish I could of tried it as your risotto looked far better than my last attempt
So happy to see a woman living her best life
What a wonderful life nice peaceful stress free away from all the aggravation of life I can’t fault you👍👍👍
Hi Betty ,great explanation of how your water gets hot and the pump looking forward to the next one stay safe Nick🏴x
Thanks Nick, I'm glad you liked the explanation!
Yay! Another video! Loving these so much! Thanks for taking the time to share your world 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to watch them!
Thank you Betty for your very informative talks about life on a narrowboat, most enjoyable, happy boating.
Thank you, happy boating to you too!
my colleague here in nz, has a canal boat in France, he has sold me the dream, but that,s it, really a dream no canals in nz, so thanks so much for your lovely vlog. Very comforting. Keep it up. Love from New Zealand.
I think I'd like to try a canal trip in France one day to see how different it is from England. I'm glad you like the video anyway!
Loving the videos and your becoming a natural in front of the camera. Keep up the great work. Really enjoyable to watch!
Thank you, I felt more comfortable in this one!
Thank you for the update! Another really enjoyable video. You seem more confident this time.
Thank you, I did feel more comfortable this time!
My dad wanted a narrow boat when I was little , we did live on a boat in a tributary off the Thames for a while , I was a toddler . We came to Australia instead and later on had trawlers and worked at sea and I lived aboard mine for several years but it all started a few miles outside London . Keep up the good work Betty , I'm enjoying your channel 👍
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the channel!
Betty, please don't think you came over as miserable. You vlogs are really interesting. I am sure your videos will get easier as time goes on. Thanks for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how the facilities work in practice. 👍
Thank you, I'm glad you didn't find me miserable!
Lovely stuff to wind down after a long day in the office.
I'm glad it helped you unwind!
My love for the narrowboat start for year’s ago on RUclips. Last year we had our first narrowboat holiday day for a week and I can say, it was one of the best holidays ever. This year we will go again, can’t wait. , until then I really enjoy your video’s.
It's great that people are being introduced with narrowboats and canals through RUclips. Narrowboat holidays are so fun, I hired a couple of boats with friends before I got mine. I hope you enjoy your holiday and the weather is good for you!
I’m Dutch and quite fascinated by narrowboats and the canal network. Nice to get an inside view.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
How refreshing, it's really great to see someone not playing up to the camera and just giving the facts! Keeps up the great work and I look forward to your next video.
Thank you, I'm glad you like my videos so far! 🙂 I've uploaded another one since this one if you fancy checking it out?
Bonjour Betty. Votre demi tour dans le canal était très bien car tous ceux qui ont déjà navigués et fait des demi tour en bateaux savent que cela est assez compliqué surtout sur ce type de bateau qui a un gouvernail très peu profond ce qui nuis a la maniabilité surtout en marche arrière. La faible profondeur d'eau dans les canaux ne permet pas d'avoir des gouvernails plus profond donc il faut faire avec. Merci pour ce partage. Prenez soin de vous. Amitiés du sud de la France. Olivier.
Bonjour Olivier. Je suis contente que tu aies pensé que mon demi-tour dans le canal était bon. Je n'ai jamais conduit qu'un petit bateau, donc je ne sais pas comment les autres bateaux se comparent, il est intéressant qu'avoir un gouvernail peu profond nuise à la maniabilité. Cela a du sens et je peux comprendre pourquoi c’est le cas. Amitiés d'Angleterre. Betty
Lovely, I’m enjoying watching your vlogs. Take care. xxx
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying them! xx
I grew up near Teddington Lock, worked with a chap who lived on his narrowboat in the week and now live just half a mile from the Grand Union. And I've never been boating on a canal! So to be living your story is just great. When you get around to it, can you let us in on the tools of the trade? Windlasses, bargepoles, etc!
And, to add to what everyone else is saying, yow bin bostin'.
Yes I hope to show more tools of the trade in future. You can see my windlass if you check out my video about doing locks!
Thanks for your informative video Betty, love the peace and tranquility of the canal life! Keep posting! 😊
Thanks for watching the video!
I'm just charmed by these videos.
I'm glad you're enjoying them!
your so lucky to have the freedom. love the videos and always looking forward to your next instalment
Thank you, I hope you like the next one!
just come across your video channel, awesome, so calm and relaxing, as another comment said you take your time instead of rabbiting on at a million words a minute, definitely a channel to follow👍
I think it's because I'm not really sure what to say! I'm glad you find the videos calming and relaxing. 🙂
Very informative Betty. Not a kettle heated via a bottled gas appliance. Thanks for posting. Good work with the Video. Short but to the point. 100%.
Thank you, I'm glad you found it informative! I heat my kettle on the gas stove so it's boiling and I can make tea/coffee.
3 videos and over 7k subscribers, must be doing something right !! I think it’s the no faffing ,natural way these are put together that people are liking. Too many over the top , long winded channels now . Keep up the great work !
babe on the internet gets heaps of views and subscribers *shocker*
@@AminorMorning Nah mate. Look at who the biggest boat tubers are.
Thank you, I'm glad you appreciate the shorter and simpler videos. I wasn't sure how these were going to turn out!
@@wonderingworld119 "boat tuber" really? 😏 I dunno, when I type in narrowboat I just get mostly thumbnails of women. When I just want fat dave on a boat....where is that channel 😋
@@AminorMorning I am sure you know how google ( who owns youtube ) works. Basically it knows a lot of stuff about you, the sort of things you personally search for, the sort of things you are personally likely to click on. It is just a mirror really. Country house gent, cruising the cut, foxes afloat and even way back Myk askin ( probably the original one ) and shortly after that sort of interesting. Hope this helps.
Your life looks pretty awesome I must admit
It's not always but thank you!
I love all the narrow boat videos and yours are getting better every time you make a new one... Thankyou 😃
Thank you very much, that's kind of you to say! 😀
@@bettyonaboat You're welcome and keep up the good work 🥂
You're doing really well with these Betty. They're lovely, you're so calm and relaxed and explain things very well, and your choice of music fits perfectly.
Thanks, I'm glad you like the videos so far!
Turning a barge is no easy task! You did great. Some nice canal side pubs in Shardlow 🦆
Thank you, I've only done it a few times and always worry about it a bit! Yes there are some nice pubs. I had a meal at the Clock Warehouse and it's really nice inside and outside.
Another great video, Betty! The ducks jumping out of the water for your 3 point turn, and then diving back in again when you were done made me chuckle... I don't know why, haha
I didn't even notice that! 😄 Bless them, I love ducks. 🦆🦆🦆
Nice concise explanations about how stuff works. I know nothing about boats and found it interesting.
Thanks, I'm glad you found it interesting!
Thanks for another great video Betty, and that looks like a nice place to be. I don't know much about narrow boats, except that they serenely putt along canals at a leisurely pace, and can take you to a lot of nice places. I had no idea that they used the engine to heat the water for your kitchen and shower, so you've just taught me something. There's so much 'clickbait' junk on RUclips these days, but you bring an air of refreshing honesty to this crowded place, and that's what so many people like about you. I'm going to watch that again 😊
Ah thank you, and thank you for watching it twice!!
Hello!🎉
Aye, aye yersel
Avast ye landlubbers
Hello to all of you!
What a lovely, charming, no nonsense video. I am loving your videos, you don't waffle on trying to fill gaps and make content, you have a lovely, direct, open and honest delivery, and it really is a refreshing change. Long may your adventures and videos continue.
I try to avoid talking as much as possible, hence the lack of waffle! 😂
@@bettyonaboat it really works well for you, although don't be afraid of speaking. But don't over talk either. A beautiful view of the canal is enough, without a voice over of what canal you are on, how deep it is, when it was opened, etc etc
People are watching you, because of you. They are invested in your story, your experience. You really do have a brilliant gift, and an amazing delivery. Keep them coming, and here's hoping you don't get many lift/swing bridges as a solo boater.
I'm enjoying your vids Betty. Great to see a you tuber being born ! I've lived by canals all my life, in the black country. I'll live on one, one day, so it's great to get the basics 👍
Cheers
I'm from the Black Country originally! Well, Wolverhampton if you count that. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos so far. 🙂
Sorry we missed you in Shardlow Betty, it would have been so interesting to meet you for a coffee and chat
It looks like you’re boating skills are developing by the day
Keep sharing the journey 👍
As a wouldbe/soon to be narrowboater I find your videos very helpful. Simple, clear and informative. Thanks Betty
Hello Betty, I'm enjoying your narrowboat videos and your 'laid back' descriptions!...Hope you will be posting some more soon.... We have very few canals here in Devon - with the notable exception of the Exeter Ship Canal, which has a very interesting history and, being built between 1564 & 1566, is said to be the oldest "pound lock" canal in the UK!
Ah yes, I've seen the Exeter Ship Canal on maps! I find those canals that aren't connected to the rest of the canal network really interesting.
I am loving this, nice, simple and genuine. I've lived in midlands around the canals most of my life so I know the history and so forth well, huge part of the UK history. The only thing I worry about Betty as your being honest where you are, I would maybe not say a direct location, or impose a delay on releasing videos after you have moved on, so no one.. unsavoury could track your location.
Yes I think I'm going to stop giving my location in future as I didn't realise how many people would end up watching these videos. 😬
Hi Betty ! great set of video,s fairplay to you for taking the plunge ! Im Ireland and grew up on the Grand canal our summers were spent fishing and swimming and helping (or hindering 😀) boaters through our local lock ! We used to love seen the narrow boats and the barges then a treat would come along in a cruiser ( the were Yachts to us !!) Il look forward to your next video. Best regards Pat.
Thanks Pat, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos so far. 🙂
Loving Betty on a boat. The most natural Utuber on the canals. Always looking out for new videos to have a moment of escaping the real world to Betty charming lifestyle
Aww thank you, that's really kind of you to say.
Betty, your Videos can't help but get us in a good mood, they are so relaxing. I stayed overnight on a Narrowboat as a youngster on a school trip back in the day and it's something that I have always had fond memories of. It's such a lovely peaceful way of living 👍💖
I went on a boat for a school trip too although we didn't stop overnight. In fact, the boat didn't even move, but I've always had fond memories of that trip too. That's partly where my love of narrowboats began.
@@bettyonaboat Amazing and here you are, living the dream. I am so envious 😜🙏
I was re-watching this one and noticed something. When you are filling the tank, you said insert the hose in the tank and turn on the tap. You really should turn on the tap and flush your hose then stick the end in the fill. You don't need the grunge in your system, or in you. Bacteria, possible mold, and general debris, as well as insects can get started easily in damp dark spaces. Just a thought. And thats in potable water hoses. General garden hoses are even worse as they contain certain toxins to help prevent the bacteria growth. Thats why even at your house, it's not safe to drink from the hose on a hot day unless you flush it first.
Hi Betty. Well done for another cracking little video! I’ve a new found appreciation for how you turn round a narrow boat 😮 and life on board yours. I waited for a quiet time at home to watch this one, relaxing with a cup of English Breakfast. Don’t be so hard on yourself, three videos and you have a growing channel! You, your boat and lovely scenery make a great trio. I hope you’re pleased with the results. Please keep the videos coming. P.S There are some very nice narrow boats out there, but Little One is a star 😊
Thank you, I will tell Little One she has a fan!
Another fabulous and insightful video of a subject I know nothing about but find interesting to watch and learn. As others have already said, please keep them coming!
Thanks, I'm glad you're finding them insightful!
Thanks Betty. Enjoyed the background music that was so appropriate to the content. It would be good to know how you learnt all the do's amd don'ts and the tricks of the trade of running a narrowboat. 🙂
Thank you, I hope to share more in future videos!
Hi, Just caught up with your latest video, I must say you are making a great job documenting your adventures, keep them coming, canal journeys are like a breath of fresh air. thanks Rio
Thank you, I'm glad you like the videos so far!
❤❤You are so amazing 🤩 Betty,
Just found your channel, thanks for the uploads.went for a job interview at shardlow about 30 years ago. Turned out the lab job involved testing on animals 😱 walked out. Looking forward to your journey of discovery 😆
Oh no, I love animals so well done for walking out! I look forward to sharing more of my journey. 😀
Just found you. I couldn't agree more with the great comments on here. Love your work. So relaxing and entertaining.
That giggle at the end 😄👍
I'm still working on my intros and outros! 😂
@@bettyonaboat Nothing wrong with the outro, we giggled with you not at you 👍
I mean this with all due respect but your eyes are stunning! I watch other channels but your videos are just so down to earth. Not kitschy or dramatic. Nothing wrong with those kitschy/drama channels of course, but I really enjoy the honest, refreshing content you make. It's so cool to see the subscriber count growing. you earned it! Cheers!
Yep you are a likeable woman Betty, 😍😉 what can i say, other than i wish you well! You are the sort of boater one hopes to meet on the cut, there are a lot of miserable types out there, but also nice people who have some light in them like yourself, be happy! Remember nothing really matters, do you watch the Mindful Narowboater she is an inspiration for many
Yes I've seen some of her videos, she seems lovely!
Lovely to watch your videos Betty. Your boat is gorgeous. My family holidays when I was little were spent on the Norfolk Broads and we lived by a canal so I've always loved the waterways. Thank you so much for showing us Shardlow. I now have a campervan with my hubby and I've been looking for somewhere nice to stay close to the canal network and lo and behold there's a site where we can stay near to the marina. Looking forward to your next video. Take care 🥰
Ah lovely! I didn't actually realise there was a campsite in Shardlow. I bet having a campervan is great as you can travel to places much more quickly than with a boat. I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos! ☺
I love the pace of your videos, it's relaxing to watch.
That water pump seems noisy compared to the ones used in motorhomes and caravans.
Thank you, I'm glad you find them relaxing. The speed limit is 4mph on canals so it forces you to slow down really!
You'll be as famous as Heidi in no time. Regards from Chester near the Shroppy.
Heidi is great!
Lovely to see you out and about in Shardlow. Sat at that ledge many times with my Pops 03:28
It's a lovely place to spend time!
