Isn't it surprising how satisfying a simple pleasure can be like sitting on a park bench. It's only when you can't do something like that you realise how much we miss these little things.
Paul and Anthony seem a lovely couple ( I watch their vlogs already) It's impossible to say which duckling pic was better. Both wonderful. Thanks both for helping us all get through lockdown.
Another lovely, gentle video for these stressful times. I'm living on my boat on the Irish inland waterways so can empathise with your problems, although we are less regulated here. Please keep up the good work. Tony.
Buying a boat has been a surreal experience during this period. I viewed the boat 2 weeks before everything was locked down. Just managed to be present during the survey. Only just recently managed to visit to discuss some ongoing work on it. This is the first boat I viewed, all the paperwork is done, licensed, boat paid for, and I have seen the boat for a total of 2 hours, and not taken it on the canal!
Just wanted to say both paintings are lovely. Different styles give different feelings.. I agree with the comment below. It’s fun watching Holly the Cafe Boat get rebuilt on the inside. Looks like it would be fun.
Thank you so much for hooking up with the guys. What a difficult time ahead trying to coordinate all of those competing events. Arrgghh!! Loved the magic trick but that 'Paint-Off' was wonderful, what a lovely set of painting both of you have produced. A quick suggestion for you. A lovely young couple, who have been on the canal for over 5 years, have bought a dilapidated old Cafe narrowboat and are converting it to be a floating cafe, coffee shop. Please look out for "Holly - The Cafe Boat". Joanna and Victor are just the nicest couple and are taking on a huge challenge. Thanks also for the "Behind the Hedge".
Lovely vlog, Paul seemed very chilled out with everything going on. I don’t think I would be quite so relaxed. Nice to see both of you, hopefully not long now before you can start cruising again
Reallly like your "catching up with" vlogs. They definitely bring canal boat life and the community closer to those of us who view from afar. Thank you.
I really like the series of videos where you talk to other boaters. I’ve not come across this channel yet, it’s so hard nowadays to keep up! I remember when there was really only you, CC, NBH, Robbie and a couple of others. These videos have added something different during lockdown and kept us entertained. Thanks as always for sharing your adventure.
This vlog had everything, a through the hedge which I always enjoy, magic and awesome artworks. The ducks seem to be growing fast, I must try to find a few pictures to share from here in Italy. Thanks and stay safe|
Great to see Paul. Recognise him from TV. And the Lipton tea ices. Real class. The drawing/painting challenge was superb. Guess you could extend the concept to include fabric artists, ceramics and other media as well. It would be another feature like a Through The Hedge. Greetings from Perth WA.
I'm continually amazed with your imagination in picking a topic for your vlog under these unusual circumstances .This one was as entertaining and informative as unusual as I've come to expect from you both ,thanks so much and continue staying safe and surprising me.You'll be glad to know I managed to get a haircut today....11 weeks I was rather shaggy. Cheers A &K Ralph
Its has been a very enjoyable year watching your vlogs.....at start of this vlog its was like the A1 that many people going passed...stay safe....thanks for sharing
I also dabble in water colors, acrylics and pottery glazing. Such talent both of you have in the ducklings drawings and paintings. We didn't experience much drama in the boat build as the title surmised. It is very hot here in Israel and a shady park is a must on the hot days. Keep well my fine friends, a pity we didn't see much of our most favorite fur babies but I know you can't include all of your lives on the channel. Till next time, with love from Israel. Yonatan
Paul is such a lovely guy. I’ll check out his channel. Ladies this was a wonderful vlog. Both paintings were gorgeous but Paul’s was stunning. Thanks for making my day💕🇨🇦❤️😎
Peach ice tea drinker.....! I knew there had to be another reason I liked you. I drink buckets of it. Morrisons do lift peach granules and amazon do liptons in a tub for easier storage on the boat. Lovely to see u out and about and able to sit in the park.
Nice to see you again ladies, that was sneaky of you to get a free magic trick out of Paul! Hope his build goes well. You've both caught tha fluffy down on the ducks really well! I enjoy your past videos, although I'm all out of sequence! Stay safe and keep well!
Thanks for the video :) I find the videos really calming and exciting because I'd really love to own my own Narrowboat one day. Awesome content and informative as usual. Take care and be safe :)
Great to see you both out of doors again. That Amazon locker thingy looked interesting I have never seen anything like it. It was very nice to watch your online meeting with the magician. Both of your drawing/watercolor of the little ducks were very good but I did like Annamarie's best. Thanks for the great vlog! Stay safe and healthy! Dana in Arizona
@@TheNarrowboatExperience I am and will always be loyal to you both! I don't think you know how the two of you saved my life. When I found your youtube channel and started watching as many of the vlogs you had made. They gave me something to look forward to every morning. I was in a very dark place when I found you after fracturing my lumbar vertebrae and having neurosurgery to place two long metal rods and ten screws into my remaining vertebrae. I am disabled now and have lost my ability to take care of myself which was very depressing. Anyway, I didn't mean to go on so long. I just want to thank you both for helping to save my life!
Awesome video guys,I love ❤️ listening to the both of you,on your experiences aboard your beautiful narrowboat,and the people you come across,on your magical journey on the canal system,,stay safe
My parents just sold their house a couple weeks ago. It was only on the market about a week when they got an offer! The realtor said the available inventory was low, so that was lucky for them.
Here is a little prayer for you both May lord are god bless and look after you both may he help you may her give you strength and healing may he give you ever lasting life amen 🙏 stay Safe guys love you guys so much
I really like your vlog! Is there any way you could move the mike closer to yourselves when you are taping on the stern of the boat? It is hard to hear. Keep up the great work!
Enjoyed your video as usual, funny we are moving house tomorrow 🤞we exchange and complete the same day. House is packed and on a lorry. Then we move our new boat in June🤞
Thank you move has gone well, but we have so many boxes, but after 41 years of marriage it’s to be expected. The boat is the next job. Looks like the middle of June. 🤞
be ok, if you has someone to talk to, shiffa don't say much :D whats in the jar, i missed it. those signs in the window were bludy rippa! not much of that round here. nice work m8s, you an yours stay safe eh!
I’m also having a boat built. Should have been launched 19th May as it was going on display at Crick. It was also being filmed for a new series of My Floating Homes on Channel 4 so that might end up on the cutting room floor as they can’t get there to film. Oh well the build has re started anyway so it’ll happen one day
I think I remember something on Facebook about the filming of a boat build. That would have been exciting. But you have to put yourself first too and just crack on.
Kath... terrible fail on the link to the through the hedge play list. We'll skip the flogging this time out of respect for the epic editing but lets never wonder this terrible path again. Of course just kidding ... lovely to see you both fairing so well during such trying times. We hope you're all doing well x
Hey, random question but what's the extendable pole in the window at 10 secs used for? I found one on my boat but have no clue what it's for. can you enlighten me?
Some people who are visiting the tow path for what seems like the first time, during lockdown have also commented on how narrow it is, and how uneven. Makes us giggle some times.
Negative days . . . Give it up Kath (Cath?). You can't argue facts with artists or ideologues (are they synonymous? not sure). Haha. Just have to go with it. :)
High traffic toe path ... Woo < missing letters English / Scottish think Paul could use magic to find them. had 6 dogs 2 cats over the years. the park seemed big looked like a lea (Pasture) good town trip ... cheers
Hi ladies.. well i can only speak from experience but the house market seems to have took off. I had 6 viewings in 3 days with 3 offers and my new build boat company is still trading so i am hoping my build slot will not move too much. You should be able to cruise soon i think.
A couple of videos ago on of your fellow boaters were having words will a landowner. The landowner stated I think, said that the toe path was theirs. Who does the toe path belong to, Ralph
For the most part it is owned and maintained by canal and river trust. This may be different in some areas, especially if the towpath has been developed extensively.
Gosh all those bikes and ppl going passed your home must be annoying. Are there ever opportunities to moor up on the other side of the canal, away from the towpath?
My two ( four ? ) favourite creators ! So glad you all support each other x
Isn't it surprising how satisfying a simple pleasure can be like sitting on a park bench. It's only when you can't do something like that you realise how much we miss these little things.
Paul and Anthony seem a lovely couple ( I watch their vlogs already) It's impossible to say which duckling pic was better. Both wonderful.
Thanks both for helping us all get through lockdown.
Loved the drawings of the ducks on the log .
Thanks
Another lovely, gentle video for these stressful times. I'm living on my boat on the Irish inland waterways so can empathise with your problems, although we are less regulated here. Please keep up the good work. Tony.
Both duckling pieces were fabulous! I’d love to see more ‘paint offs’..
It's a great idea... who next then?

What a lovely time had ... thanks for introducing us to Paul... enjoyed it.
Our pleasure!

Oh wow best of luck with it.
Nice vid lady’s loved both pictures of the ducklings 🐥
Happy boataversary! And I "hoorayed" at the announcement of an impromptu "through the hedge" :) This was fun and looking forward to the future TtH's!
Thanks so much. A year just flew by.
Thank you for sharing your lovely lives with us. Stay safe!
Thank you! You too!
Just wanted to say both paintings are lovely. Different styles give different feelings.. I agree with the comment below. It’s fun watching Holly the Cafe Boat get rebuilt on the inside. Looks like it would be fun.

Aw that was lovely! Both of your ducklings pieces were brilliant! Great interview, such wonderful warmth between you guys xx
Thank you so much!

Glad you liked them
Thanks for sharing, absolutely loved the ducklings painting. 👍🏼

I know! I remember those days too! Tell you what not to do- don't type in narrowboat in the search bar and filter to 'this week'. It's crazy.
Thank you, this was such a feel good vlog. Also, loved your special guest, especially his cool magic trick and art skills x
Thanks so much
Lovely video with magic too. The duckling paintings are great. 👍👍😎
Paul is amazing.
Delightful visit to the park. Duckies are getting so big. Thank you for sharing the beautiful paintings.
My pleasure 😊
All artists have their own style ..that’s what makes them unique.
True
Always a ray of sunshine. Thanks!
This vlog had everything, a through the hedge which I always enjoy, magic and awesome artworks. The ducks seem to be growing fast, I must try to find a few pictures to share from here in Italy. Thanks and stay safe|
So glad you liked it.
loved the duck paintings
Wonderful magic trick! :D ... both duckling paintings are gorgeous!!! ... aww, pats for Alice. :)
Thank you! 😊
The narrowboat vlogs are great. Stuck indoors it's lovely to see the countryside and wildlife that you show. Best wishes, good luck 🐞🤗 my lovies.
Thank you! You too!
Good to see you both looking so well and happy, great vlog
Cheerful as always...great job, girls. Loved the walk and the park....all that loveliness, that's what I miss about England. Keep safe.
Glad you enjoyed it
Been watching Pauls stuff, can't wait to see the boat!! hope your both keeping well

Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the stroll, so nice to see the ducklings again, so so beautiful. You're paintings are stunning!
Thank you for saying so
Love the 'new' way of interviewing and a new trough the hedge!
What a beautiful day stay safe l see the ducks have grown🦆🦆🦆🦆🌞🌞
They are still all together, the two families. I wonder how long before they part ways... if ever.
Great to see Paul. Recognise him from TV. And the Lipton tea ices. Real class. The drawing/painting challenge was superb. Guess you could extend the concept to include fabric artists, ceramics and other media as well. It would be another feature like a Through The Hedge. Greetings from Perth WA.
I asked him and he said he wasn't from an ad. Interesting.
It's nice to see you two enjoying a day out in a park..
Yes it was!
I love your video as well as the beautiful park and the song birds.
Your brilliant girls we love your blogs you cheer us up and there always interesting.. stay safe
Lovely paintings, very good. Most enjoyable vlog. Xx
Love the magic trick! The artwork from both artists--superb! Nice job Paul and Annamarie.
Yes, love magic!
Cats and Ducks my favorite.
I rarely get out because of the pandemic so I look forward to spending a bit of time with you girls.
Well you are exactly the person we are filming for then. Hope it helped a little. Take extra care. x
I'm continually amazed with your imagination in picking a topic for your vlog under these unusual circumstances .This one was as entertaining and informative as unusual as I've come to expect from you both ,thanks so much and continue staying safe and surprising me.You'll be glad to know I managed to get a haircut today....11 weeks I was rather shaggy.

I can't stop binge watching you guys love you guys and I must say your artwork stunning true talent xoxo ♥️
Thank you so much 😀

I used to do a bit of pouring porcelain - would love to do that again! Now you've got me thinking...
Paul is such a lovely guy. I’ll check out his channel. Ladies this was a wonderful vlog. Both paintings were gorgeous but Paul’s was stunning. Thanks for making my day💕🇨🇦❤️😎
Absolutely
Just loved your water colour brilliant
thanks
Peach ice tea drinker.....! I knew there had to be another reason I liked you. I drink buckets of it. Morrisons do lift peach granules and amazon do liptons in a tub for easier storage on the boat. Lovely to see u out and about and able to sit in the park.
I think the little park between the houses would be called ‘a Green’. Thank you for another great vlog.
Yes, true.
what wonderful artists both of you are!!
Thanks
A Post Office selling beer? We have a lot to learn! :-)
No need to post sober!
@@TheNarrowboatExperience He he he he
Stay well, bless you both. Xx
Nice to see you again ladies, that was sneaky of you to get a free magic trick out of Paul! Hope his build goes well. You've both caught tha fluffy down on the ducks really well! I enjoy your past videos, although I'm all out of sequence! Stay safe and keep well!
Well don't we all need a little bit more magic in our lives?
@@TheNarrowboatExperience and quite right too!
Loved both pictures you are all so talented
Thank you
Thanks for the video :) I find the videos really calming and exciting because I'd really love to own my own Narrowboat one day. Awesome content and informative as usual. Take care and be safe :)
Hi Ladies hope you both are well and safe 🤗🥰❤️
It's being cheerful that keeps you going! Come on Gals, it's not the end of the world! Smile!
I'm not sure which vlog you watched lol

Always enjoy you videos love to you all
Thank you
What a beautiful park! Reminds me of the parks in my town of Gretna Nebraska. Lovely video!
It's a lovely walk. Just long enough to be out and about and feel like you have walked somewhere.
Very nice vlog - thanks for sharing. And all of the art was really beautiful! Ta!
Thanks
Wishing you two would come back!
Don't Quack up! Have a swim ,eat muffins!
Enjoyed your vlog what a great park stay safe you and the cats
We are so lucky to have that park nearby. It's got a great path all the way around it.
I have finally watched your vlog. Was lovely to see my partner so happy and engaged. How do you do it 😂. X
He was delightful, now we are old friends. lol
I really like your vlog! Is there any way you could move the mike closer to yourselves when you are taping on the stern of the boat? It is hard to hear. Keep up the great work!
Sorry the audio was a bit crap in this episode, we had some technical difficulties.
Enjoyed your video as usual, funny we are moving house tomorrow 🤞we exchange and complete the same day. House is packed and on a lorry. Then we move our new boat in June🤞
All the best for the move.
Thank you move has gone well, but we have so many boxes, but after 41 years of marriage it’s to be expected. The boat is the next job. Looks like the middle of June. 🤞
Stay safe with Munchie and Alice!
Thanks
"T-" is the correct phrasing. This is how NASA/ SpaceX/ etc. refer to "time until launch."
Oh yes, that's what I was thinking
gee, I was having a Lipton Green Tea, Peach flavor while watching you .
nice isn't it

Hey, random question but what's the extendable pole in the window at 10 secs used for? I found one on my boat but have no clue what it's for. can you enlighten me?
I think it is for hanging curtains
I thought there would be a minimum width for a toe path. Of course, during the canal heyday, the horses kept it wide. Ralph stay safe
Some people who are visiting the tow path for what seems like the first time, during lockdown have also commented on how narrow it is, and how uneven. Makes us giggle some times.

Hi ladies.. well i can only speak from experience but the house market seems to have took off. I had 6 viewings in 3 days with 3 offers and my new build boat company is still trading so i am hoping my build slot will not move too much. You should be able to cruise soon i think.
I'm so glad for you, I did wonder.
my wife would luv the print of the train on the viaduct and narrow boat when will they b available again
These were hand numbered and limited in number. I might design another as it was popular but I won’t add to the limited run.
Trying to sale my mom's house has been the worst experience ever! We're ready to cancel the contract and wait until the virus is done and over.

Gosh all those bikes and ppl going passed your home must be annoying.
Are there ever opportunities to moor up on the other side of the canal, away from the towpath?
Often off towpath is on private land so opportunities are limited.
Like that toe path looked like a highway! What’s with all they peeps?
Too many peeps!
Miss you girls.... where did you go?
I am into kilo 4 of lockdown
Oh my goodness how funny you are.
What happened to Juno
Lockdown number 4
Your videos could be referred to as BC and AC.
Why has everybody abandoned wearing cycle helmets?
I think it’s because the roads have been empty of cars. Our village is the same. Cyclist from before lockdown do seem to still wear them.
Oh that horrible music going by in the beginning. otherwise wonderful vlog.
Sorry to spell the magic trick but he slipped and not often dropped it on the floor
I'm pretty sure it was magic though
What did I say
when?
! Click bait ! I thought you two were building a new boat...
To be fair click bait is when you don't deliver on what was offered. But, I see how you could have been confused lol
