Before I forget! Thank you for numbering your vlog posts. That makes it so easy to watch your vlogs in order, and hopefully soon to catch up. 🙂 My gosh, you take such extraordinarily wonderful closeup photos and videos. And, the mindful cruise, so many individual pieces I could thank you for ... so interesting, and lovely, and peaceful. Thank you.
Well it didn’t take long for my weakness to dictate its power over me. When I first came across your vlogs I said to myself I could watch one a day, but they are so good and enjoyable on every level that I pounce of any that come up in me at once. I hope I am not through them all too soon, even if I am I will be watching for a second time. Gold cups, stars, medals and ribbons for a wonderful array of talents and communications that provide so much interest and joy.
I am so, so pleased that you are enjoying the vlogs! That is lovely to know. There's a lot to get through though. You deserve the cups, stars, medals and ribbons if you get through them all!😂 Thank you for such a lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
We went through that lock earlier this year and I was so nervous, I’d never heard of a slacker either. The wild life was so amazing, babies everywhere. Love this vlog 💚
Rosie and I did that very cruise to Ely in September. You can see the Cathedral from miles away. We loved that small city and visited the Cathedral but it was full of school kids doing a careers options day. Anyway we got in free because of that. Thank you for a great vlog. I loved the moonlight at the start. I did a quick watercolour. I’ll email it if you like.
The view of the cathedral from different spots around that area is breathtaking! Please do email me the painting, I'd love to see it. Thank you for your kind words.🦋🌻
Hi beautiful blog so much colours,I just hired a motorhome went to Scotland west cost and isle of sky was gone 10 days I used a EE internet box about the same size as you used never let me down once I used pay as you go ,we have a smell dog a shih tzu he was not a problem at all he traveled in his bed in between the seats,thank you for a beautiful blog,till next time take care keep safe
Hello John, your holiday sounds wonderful and what a lucky dog to travel in such comfort! 🐶🥺🥺Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for watching the vlog. Take care🦋🌻
What a great lifestyle you have. You did the right thing by hiring a motorhome. The questions arise, where to keep it, will there be easy access when you want it, keeping the battery charged, maintenance and MOT? Great idea but lots to think about. 😎
Hi Jack, there is so much to think about before buying a motor home, but having a holiday in one is good fun. Thank you so much for watching. Have a wonderful rest of the week, take care🦋🌻
I bet that is such a beautiful sight :VW Camper and happy dog passenger! I’ve been watching those peregrine, Spence so thank you for the camera recommendation, absolutely amazing birds to watch! Thank you for watching and take care🌻🦋
Good evening Vanessa, very beautiful views of the United Kingdom, and especially of this beautiful nature that few people know how to appreciate because they are not aware of its importance, be well and have a good week
@@themindfulnarrowboat Yes I watch a lot, and yesterday morning I had the chance to see a cuckoo, very quickly, we hear it every day but we hardly see it
I hope you went back to Popes Corner and travelled down the Old West? It's a lovely journey; through the manned tidal Hermitage Lock which takes you back onto the Ouse. You can travel all the way to Bedford via delights like St Ives, Houghton Mill, Huntingdon, St Neots etc. Now is the perfect weather for such a trip. Selfishly I'm glad that you are not leaving the waterways for the highways just yet! Stay safe and happy cruising.
I will definitely do that trip, Jill but I have made a little detour to visit a very special place on the fens which I will film for next week. Thank you for your lovely comments. Take care🌻🦋
I use a 3 dongle on my boat and when off on a trip round my old hunting grounds in the Cotswolds plus Gloucester the new forest and Wales to grab some shots of the red kites I used the same dongle with never a problem.
Wonderful video! I'm so glad the narrowboat journey continues as I find your story telling enchanting, especially the ending on this video - great art work. Stay safe - be well - many blessings.
Hi Vanessa ..a wonderful video as usual and amazing macro shots of the wildlife That’s nice you had a few days in the motor home , made a nice change for you All .. I would think that cruising through the beautiful countryside in your narrow boat Is far less stressful than driving on our overcrowded roads .. weather has changed, but should be back sunny again midweek.. Have a lovely time .. Michael 🌷
Thank you for watching, Michael, you are right about the overcrowded roads! Yes, where has the sun gone to? I hope you are right about it’s return! Have a lovely weekend and take care.🌻🦋
A beautiful video as usual Vanessa. I'm happy that you'll be staying on the narrow boat. I was a bit worried that you might be switching to a motorhome permanently!
Motor homes are great I had one I had the Talbot express petrol which I loved the free dum it's better than the flat where you have no council tax to pay all you need to pay road tax and insurance and your mot it's OK when it passes but when it fails you need to get it sorted before you can move on my next move I will be on the water ways where you more up with the traffic lights spending and by watching the birds and etc and doing all the little jobs on the boat and chill out or with out the humans around you all the time so I think you should stay safe on the boat Many thanks From Chris
Thank you, John. It must be so wonderful to stand under the branches where you are. If you get any time, i would really appreciate a little video clip of it. Take care 🌻🦋
we have two Border Terriers , so what we did was remove a third passenger seat and put in two crates and strap them to the floor so they are extremely secure. many renters will not let you rent a motorhome if you have pets, so consider yourself lucky.
Lovely vlog.. I brought an old Hymer Mercedes S555 .. Motorhome. Absolutely wonderful, the only problem is that you need somewhere to park it when not using it..
😮😅❤it was lovely to see you in a motor home,but how much wouldit cost you in petrol, where doyou stayeach day? Are there free camps like we have here, my friends nhave caravans with solar panels so 5hey stay in free parks, but petrol is expensive sorhats why they try to stay in free parks.❤Love from Oz
Great vlog, i would think after being on a narrowboat, a motorhome in the UK would be quite stressful nice once you arrive at you destanation, enjoy your summer 🌻🌻🌻
It’s definitely about the amazing places you can reach in the motor home. It was funny though still having to empty toilets and fill up water! Thank you for your comment and take care, Allan George🌻🦋
Good evening Vanessa well u have been living in the fast lane this week😀 visiting all those places. A really peaceful vlog again this week showing wildlife at all ur destinations , l suppose having a big second vehicle is going to be a hefty expense if u have to store it. Do u travel with a car in tow so to speak were u keep moving it a head of u every few days? Have u ever watched "narrowboat isness" that's another peaceful mindful boater?. Hope alls well with ur crew? Hope u have a lovely coming week and thanks again for the great content of ur vlogs 🧡xx🦅🐝
Hi Simon, I hope you are well and enjoying the sunshine with your dogs. We do have a car, so we cycle back to it when we have moved to park it close by. This does mean looking for appropriate mooring spaces. I don’t use the car as my work is all online but Mike commutes to work in it. I do watch Dave on NB Isness; he is a wonderful photographer and produces beautiful vlogs doesn’t he? Thank you for your lovely comments and take care🌻🦋
Motorhomes will be a thing of the past very soon I'm afraid. Diesel and Petrol vehicles will be banned from 2030 -2035, not to mention astronomical price rises in fuel before then
You are very right, Sparkesman. The Eco-friendly versions of the boat and motor world need to hurry up and be more affordable and available now don't they? Thank you for your comment.🦋🌻
You are totally right and I don't think I will do a trip like that again. I stopped flying six years ago and this week, I have sourced HVO for my boat, so I won't use a motorhome again, unless it is electric. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Have a great week.🌻🦋

I have a VW T4 campervan - my dog loves it. She is happiest when we have the window open just enough for her to sit with her snoot out.
I bet that is such a beautiful sight :VW Camper and happy dog passenger! I’ve been watching those peregrine, Spence so thank you for the camera recommendation, absolutely amazing birds to watch! Thank you for watching and take care🌻🦋
Wonderful mindful cruise. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Nanci. Take care🌻🦋
You picked one of our favourite holiday spots in Pembrokeshire.we love this whole stretch of National Park.
Isn’t it absolutely stunning! I’m definitely going back one day. Thank you so much for watching🤗🦋🌻

@@themindfulnarrowboat Yes I watch a lot, and yesterday morning I had the chance to see a cuckoo, very quickly, we hear it every day but we hardly see it
I have heard but never seen one! 🤞 I get to see and film one!
@@themindfulnarrowboat I wish it for you, it is very sound but very little visible
@@themindfulnarrowboat I think with the talent and patience you have you will be able to take a picture of him
Really lovely photography

Very good advice, Chris and I think you are right. For now it’s boat life for me. Have a wonderful weekend. Take care🌻🦋
I'm just converting my van to a day van. If you need a vehicle then consider getting a van to convert. Great vlog as usual Mrs mindful.
That is a good idea and I do watch a lot of van conversion vlogs. You should do one! Thank you for watching and commenting, Will. Take care🌻🦋
V, Lovely vlog. FYI- The cicada invasion is here. All of the trees are singing about it.
Thank you, John. It must be so wonderful to stand under the branches where you are. If you get any time, i would really appreciate a little video clip of it. Take care 🌻🦋

The cruise was so peaceful at the end, I almost fell asleep! Gorgeous shots 💕🌍🌿🌻🌸
Falling asleep during me vlog is a huge compliment for me! Thank you so much, Indi and take care🌻😊

Thank you, Pete. Sounds like you’ve got yourself a great motorhome. They are super for adventures far and wide aren’t they? Take care🌻🦋

Wonderful birds.
Lovely peaceful vlog as always.
Wow you have been busy.
Thanks Vanessa so much. So lovely. Good luck with your decision.
Thank you for watching, Vanessa! Hope the gardening business is going well. Take care🌻🦋

Hi , Vanessa ! What is it that you teach ?!
I teach age 7-12, all subjects and also English as a foreign language. This is all online. Thank you for your question. Take care🌻🦋

All that travelling simply added more emissions. Were supposed to be in this together, but that is simply empty rhetoric.
You are totally right and I don't think I will do a trip like that again. I stopped flying six years ago and this week, I have sourced HVO for my boat, so I won't use a motorhome again, unless it is electric. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Have a great week.🌻🦋
You need a better mic
Thankfully, since then I have updated my mic; you are so right. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
