    Thanks for your kind thoughts regarding the pandemic and is truly nice to know that there are still nice people left in this strange time we live. My parter and I (John and Dean) live near Tampa, Florida. We had plans to visit England this year however with the Covid situation have postponed our visit. We really enjoy watching your Vlogs and seeing all the beautiful scenery you shoot in your videos. We can't wait to see your new narrow boat, congratulations!!! We wish you health and wellness. Hope you enjoy a lovely weekend.

    Another calm, well put together vlog. I imagine it’s a little frustrating for you both that due to these Covid restrictions ( which I understand and agree with, btw) you can’t show us more of the progress on your boat. However, you’re doing a great job of keeping our interest going; reminding us (particularly those that subscribe) that you’re still there and making progress. I’m really looking forward to launch day and following your cruising adventures. I’ll be sure to say “hi” if and when I see you on the cut. Well done, guys. Keep it up!

    Lovely countryside and nature, you have a good eye for flora and fauna. Next month I hope to get a print of the duckling and the Kingfisher. Here in Isreal they are going to shut down again completely for the next Jewish high holydays, Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year), Yom Kippur (A complete Fast day)and Sukkot where we eat and sleep outside in a temporary dwelling for eight days. It is a time where people travel to their family and intermingle like Christmas for christians. So no one will be allowed to go to their parents homes and we can't even go to synagogue. We have had to pray outside of the synagogue for the last couple months. Now we won't even be allowed to do that. The Virus rate increases with the rate of people traveling and intermingling. I have a good friend in Texas who contracted Covid 19 from her sons friend when they visited her son so they both have it now. Dangerous times, please stay safe and well with blessings from the Galilee in Northern Israel
