  1. What an adventure. You have such amusing patience and acceptance I couldn't help smiling. I do hope you get some good news soon.

  4. Wow what a drama. Well done you. Zephr's very clever (it's as if they understand every word we say isn't it?). Thanks for the journey.

  5. I truly love the sense of peace and calm you create in your vlogs. They should be on prescription. Thank you.

  6. I think you are being so modest when you talk of your artistry. You have a great talent and , I'm sure, I can't be alone in cherishing your vlogs and the accompanying poems and drawings. Thank you.

  10. Love the story teller. I've never seen more than 1 or 2 siskin at any one time. What a glorious sight. Loved your vlog. Thanks.

  11. Thank you for a trip down memory lane. We did the Caldon a few years ago and I nearly lost my head at the bridge where you lost your chimney. I ducked just in time "Ouch". Great vlog.

  12. Brilliant vlog. It had everything great views, wildlife, drama, human interest, a series of hero's to save the day and finally a happy ending with a really clever poem. Thank you so much.

  13. I was holding my breath waiting for the bore to arrive. A bit of a damp squib but pleased it didn't prove to be a problem for you. Thanks again for a lovely calming (mostly) vlog.

  14. I truly love your philosophy. Did the pig have a big grin on it's face?

  15. I love your world. Thank you for letting us share it occasionally. Another lovely vlog.

  16. Lovely thoughtful vlog. Your poem and sketch of Zeph was really lovely. Couldn't help wondering about "Mr M". Did he go with you as he presumably didn't stay behind to look after "Alice"? Hope that's not too personal a question.

  17. No sooner do your vlogs start than they seem to end, all too quickly. Thank you again for a tranquil few minutes.

  18. Who was it that said narrowboating is relaxing. Well done for getting through. Hope things have improved now.

  19. That was really lovely. Wonderful drawings, again. Never heard of a "twait shad"?

  20. Marvellous photography and you create such a wonderful atmosphere. Each one of your vlogs is a treat. Thank you.

  21. Catching up with your older vlogs. Such a precious moment when the robin trusted you enough to eat from your hand. I'm no expert but wasn't the "buzzard" a "Sparrow Hawk"? Either way it was a beautiful and tranquil few minutes spent with you. Thanks

  22. Just love your calming vlogs. Never seen a tern inland before. How far from the coast were you?

  23. Bless you !! Hopefully not hay fever. What a long journey, you must have been exhausted. Stunning drawering of the bee, you're so talented. Thanks for the vlog, wonderful.

  24. My first visit to your vlog and I loved it. You give off such a serine vibe and combine my loves of birds, countryside, canals and painting. You have a new follower and I shall make sure to catch up on your library. Oh and I've just subscribed.

  25. Such beautiful and close up photography. Do you have a special camera (not that I know anything about camera's. Also loved your sketch of the swallow. Are you self taught or did you go to art school?

  26. Very pleased you will be continuing to live as a continuous cruiser. I would miss your regular vlogs so much. I'm also very jealous of your chosen lifestyle. Unfortunately I'm a bit too old for the physical requirements but, Hey Ho!, just have to live vicariously through your adventures.

  27. Fabulous footage of the fieldmouse. I don't know how you do it. Thanks for another interlude in life's frenzy.

  28. wow, a seal.

  29. What a beautiful sketch of a pheasant. You're so nice to everyone, I don't think anyone could ever be angry with you. Don't know how you do it. I thought you were going to say that using the bio fuel had caused your engine issues. I guess it was just one of those things then. Wishing you trouble free cruising.

  30. You're so talented. The butterfly is lovely but the cricket is amazing. Am I wrong but I thought there was a 4mph speed limit on canals. If so, and assuming the footage wasn't sped up, surely the floating hotel was going so fast that the wash would damage the bank? Sorry if I'm having a grumble.

  31. Wow!!! My anxiety levels have just reached maximum. It's stressful just watching you. How do you cope?

  32. Love the vlog. Hope you're engine has been sorted.

  33. Well I've always called it SPAGNAM MOSS as well. You live and learn. A bit of a departure from biscuits this week, I notice. Thanks for the journey. Loved it.

  34. another great vlog. I know it wasn't a great photo but didn't "Nanny T" look like you? Where can I buy a copy of your book?

  35. Isn't Zephr funny. Treacle tart x2. I didn't see that coming. Thanks for an amusing trip this week.

  36. I though Zephr was going to explode with excitement. Another peaceful drift along. Thank you.

  37. Did you find that trip a bit intimidating? I did, and I wasn't even there. I've never seen a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. You're very lucky. That park must have been a wildlife haven so close to the city. Thanks for another great vlog.

  38. Another glorious vlog. You've probably been asked this many times but I wonder whether you might publish your journal at some point. Your poems and the accompanying artwork are a joy akin to Beatrix Potter

  39. Such a magical otter moment for you. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into your "world of wonder".

  43. Wow, so unusual to see a barn owl during the day. You're so lucky. What was the music playing at the time of the owl? I loved it. Thanks for such a wonderful vlog.

  44. Charming. A joy to watch. Hope you thaw out soon.

  46. I've seen several vlogs outlining the cost of living on a narrowboat but none so picturesque and entertaining. I haven't seen a redwing yet this year, so here's hoping. I've just looked up your etsy shop to buy a journal but couldn't see any. Are they still available?

  47. You did so well to get footage of the skylark. Brilliant. I feel peaceful again after watching your vlog. Thank you.

  52. Lovely calming vlog. Thank you. Long Tailed Tits are one of my very favourite little birds. How can you not love them.

  53. Well done with the gas bottle, and no swearing. I know I would have. I confess to having a little chuckle watching you - sorry. Question "why do we whisper in churches?" Such a clever poem at the end. Have you studied Shakespeare or are you just a fan? Loved your vlog, thanks.

  54. I thought the bats were great but your photography is amazing. The nuthatch, and how you managed to see it, was inspired. Thank you.

  55. Excellent vlog. Loved your story telling. That could be your next venture. Childrens Books with illustrations. What do you think? Really looks magical up there doesn't it. Thanks for another escape.

  56. Loved your "concentration face" when flower arranging. Made me laugh. You have such a wonderful life. Thanks for sharing it.

  57. Did I see a boat called "Perseverance". Isn't that the name of the boat from the "Minimalist" vlog? Don't think it's the same boat but I understood boat names had to be registered and not duplicated. Am I wrong?

  58. Very Poignant, Very beautiful. You have me emotional.

  59. Lovely. You have such a great turn of phrase. Was I mistaken but I couldn't see any ladders in Cranford Lock which made me wonder how one would manage as a singleton crew.

  60. Perfect. Canals, nature and Beatrix Potter. What more could you want. Thank you.

  61. Loved your poem this week. Also loved the lock gate with plants growing over it. Thanks for the journey.

  62. Is a lolly allowed at tea and biscuit time? A bit radical if you ask me. Loved your poem. It's always a thrill to see goldcrests and firecrests isn't it?

  63. really well done with the solo boating. Not easy. Loved the film of the goldcrest. Well spotted and great pics. Glad you got the engine sorted.

  64. What a brilliant vlog. That was a great walk wasn't it. Loved the boat graveyard, so atmospheric. The barn owl footage was spectacular. We always called backswimmers "Waterboatmen". Don't know why. Funny where we get these names from. Thank you for taking us along.

  65. Glad to have your weekly vlogs, they are a highlight. What did you do for a living before you started your adventures?

  66. Loved the birds and your sketch was brilliant. Have a great Christmas.

  67. Huge scone, looked wonderful.

  68. Well done cleaning the rubbish. If only everyone was as environmentally aware. Was the river as scary as it looked?

  69. Poor old Zephyr. She looked quite panicked. She's very good though isn't she? Wasn't the tree brilliant. Loved your poem this week.

  70. Lovely to see so many snowdrops. Thank you for another dose of tranquility.
