What I particularly appreciate about your channel is the glimpses into the history of the places you visit. Love the general relaxed vibe of the channel too and the music.
That's so good to hear, and exactly the feel we are aiming for. We took our favourite features of narrowboat vlogs that we watched and tried to incorporate in our own, and it's sort of developed from there 😊
This retired expat living in Canada wants to thank you again for a wonderful and entertaining video. The visuals and sounds always make my weekend mornings feel peaceful and calm. I also watch a couple of your narrowboats friends and do so enjoy it when you have your meet ups. Thank you for taking me back "home" for a visit and update. Love from Brigitt 👍🇨🇦
That’s so lovely to hear Brigitt! And that’s exactly the feeling we aim for. We loved watching ‘home’ when we were living overseas for so long, and BBC Radio 2 was our radio station of choice every day. Kept us connected a little with the news, weather and even the traffic news 😂 😊
Another lovely vlog, the freedom of movement the car offers is totally worth Petes efforts to retrieve, I hope old man Hamish is doing better the boys said he was having a rough time of it on their vlog, they did mention he seemed to have picked up? Thank you for allowing us along your travels and take care. Cheers Brian.
You're so welcome Brian, we love that you can join us by the power of TH-cam! Hamish is doing much better now. He had a run of days with a very upset stomach and really wasn't himself. We took him to the vet, and they gave him some probiotics which worked a treat, and did some blood tests just to make sure. She actually said he's looking and doing so well for his age which was good to hear. We are thankful for every day we have with him now 😊
Hi Pete & Caroline I just want to say that I appreciate all of your blogs of your journey on your lovely narrow boat and how much hard work that is done on editing all of your blogs and putting a thumbnail title to each blog before putting them out onto your wonderful channel. Would you both consider doing a live chat blog where people can join and ask you both questions about living on the boat or even just to say something nice about your Chanel? I know other TH-camrs who also live on a narrow boat have done it in the past and has been extremely nice to join in with the live chat.
That's so lovely of you to say Joe! We have quite often had the chat about doing a live chat, but have always shied away from it so far! Perhaps it's time to just do it, and get over that fear! We are approaching 20K subscribers now, something we never dreamed we would do, so perhaps a live chat could be our celebration when we reach that goal! I have moderated a chat for Narrowboat Life Unlocked, so sort of know how the behind the scenes worked, but could get Paul to show me a little more of the set up. We will definitely be doing a Q&A in February that has been delayed and delayed far more than we would have liked. Watch this space! 😊
Hello Pete and Caroline, another peaceful and informative vlog. We did our canal presentation on Friday to a good crowd but it was very difficult. A portion of it includes a lot of photos from our four month canal trip in 2016 with our two Havanese puppies. There are many photos of our pups on the boat but we had had to put our beautiful Miss Toque to sleep on Tuesday. We managed to hang it together but the pain was just too raw to really do it justice.
Oh no, we are are so sorry to hear your sad, sad news 😢. It's such a hard decision to have to make, and to then have your talk with all the photos. I can just imagine how hard that was. I can't ever change our outro on our videos, as there's Jasper, sat in his spot enjoying boat life, and that's how we will always remember him. Hugs to you both ❤️
@ thanks Caroline. So many reminders for you but eventually you start to smile before you cry. If I knew how to I would attach a photo of her for you. She was a total heart stealer.
Great job by, Pete on the bike for the car collection, looks too much like hard work to me but I think I'm a tad older than Pete. Always adore seeing the dogs, the lovely nosey, Poppy and my favourite old guy, Hamish. BTW is he Ok Only I heard he wasn't too well!
That was probably one of the longest journeys back to get the car, and you’re right he didn’t a great job! Not the most towpath friendly bike so it was a good job there were quite a few good paths. Poppy is definitely our nosey crew member, always keeping a look out for us! Hamish had a few days of a bad stomach and was just not himself, back at the start of the year, but we took him to the vet and she prescribed some probiotics and did some blood tests and declared him as very healthy and looking good for his age! He’s back his usual slow but pensive self now 😊
So delightful in every way💓💓💓Pete,you are in fantastic shape!caroline you are a delight!I can not image how you manage those locks like a pro💥Hope to here that things are better for kissable Hamish💓🙏🙏💓
Thank you so much as always Deborah! Your kind words are such appreciated. After a few days with a very upset stomach, we took Hamish to the vet and with some probiotics he was back to normal again very quickly. The vet took some blood to and declared him in very good health for his age, which was very reassuring. He will be 16 in March 😊
It looks to me like picking up the car is a nice break from the routine. You get out and get some cycling exercise, walking and driving. Sounds like a great day to me!
That's exactly how we see it too! Quite often when Pete is working, I will hop on a local bus that winds through little villages to go and pick up the car from wherever we left it, or move it forward to our next destination, and it really is an enjoyable part of the adventure 😊
Like you we continually cruise. 5 years now. We sold our car 4 years 6 months ago, the best of bestest thing we ever did. We either train or Uber and it’s still cheaper than tax, mot,insurance, and going back for a car. Also all the mileage was from moving it, we hardly ever used it. If you work I understand having a car, but if not then you have all the time in the world , so no rush. We’ve had shopping drops at the most remote places, and people say ooh I have old family? I’m sure then they could ,like us rent a car. Try it you’ll never look back. We’re around Birmingham now and it’s a giggle watching people trying to park in a city( having to be up at 6am to move it 😳crazy) Ps I don’t think bestest is a word😂. Happy cruising
I like to think that bestest is a word 😂 I think while Pete is still working and has unexpected last minute meetings that crop up, then it's a necessary inconvenience right now, but it did feel so freeing to leave it behind for almost 3 weeks when we headed down the Gloucester & Sharpness and back again. I'm always backwards and forwards to my mum every few weeks too, so for now it stays, but who knows what the future holds. We have so many friends, like you, that make it work, and hire when they need a car or use coordinate with public transport 😊
❤ I always seem to lose you every week as I’m following along you know how I love that… and I was searching and searching and I keep having to pause and then you said Tesco so I looked for a Tesco and I found it and then the church… Thank you for giving such good commentary as usual for this Oregonian… it was easy to see Wolverley Court Lock as it was BIG… I try and look at the bridge, but that never seems to work… I am having a really fun time following along like I said you’re the only one I do that with so thank you. Samn❤
It's wonderful that you are following along on our travels from Oregon! When I am editing and placing us on the map, I always look at the bridge numbers and locks names or numbers, as it all becomes a blur in my memory! 😊
Memories of Kidderminster, as a child my Aunt and Uncle used to take me to a Berni Inn in the town, im sure you can guess the meal we had from a Berni ? Lovely video again x
How wonderful that we could take you back down memory lane Gail! It was always very exciting to go to a Berni Inn when eating out was a real treat back in the day! Steak and chips or a mixed grill, and a melon boat, which was the height of sophistication! 😂
We moored just after Caldwell Lock too. One hop for us from Worcester Railway Bridge. We ate at The Watermill. We previously stayed there overnight on our way to a weekend holiday boat trip on the Brecon canal. Next stop M and S across the car park - carefully avoiding shopping trolleys!
Glad we could bring back some memories! Thankfully we didn't encounter any of the shopping trollies we had been warned about in the canal! But with so many supermarkets close by I'm not surprised that it's an issue with people having 'fun' with them 🙄
@ £5 deposit might crystalise minds. CRT could achieve an additional revenue stream fishing them out. When we set off again I did notice we were bows over a trolley. So reversed back initially to leave. I am surprised we didn’t catch you up. But we left on the Stourbridge Canal or we might have passed you. Looking forward to what must be an Electric bike by the look of Pete’s anguish on the old one and his grin as the doors rose.
A £5 deposit would certainly make people return them wouldn't it, so they weren't left loose to find their way into the canal! You'll see Pete's surprise next week is a total game changer!
Another great vlog you two (and poppy and Hamish) 🎉😊 the staffs and Worcester looks a great canal. Great editing, some epic shots, I like the one by the cathedral with poppy posing 😂 Take care - Dave (not the tiller pin)
Thanks so much Dave! It's such a beautiful stretch of canal, especially this southern section of the Staffs & Worcester, everyone who recommend it to us was right, we were not disappointed 😊
Thank you for another great video. I was surprised to see a boat with Nashville,Tn on it as that is where I live. 😃 Looking forward to seeing Pete’s surprise next week.👍
We were surprised to see the Nashville boat too Donna! Pete is excited to show off his surprise in the next episode, it's been a total game changer for us 😊
Great vlog again Caroline 👍🏻 just watched it whilst eating breakfast. Hope you were all OK yesterday I think the effects of Storm Eoeyn were not as great further south. Fortunately we had returned from Scotland ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! That's a relief that you got back from Scotland before the storm hit! All good with us, just a little choppy and howling wind , but no damage near us apart from a couple of leylandii down! 😊
Gee there was some FAST lock work in this video! Guess you needed the car to come and meet us for lunch……Hope you survived the storm ok overnight, cheers Swanny
Yes that was one of the reasons we needed the car Swanny! Plus a trip to my mum's to pick up Pete's game changing birthday present! You'll see all that excitement in the next episode! We are all good here now, the wind has dropped significantly, and no real damage near us except for a couple of leylandii down. It looks like Ireland and Scotland were the worst hit 😞
Once again really nice to see our local canal. You were so close to us when you stopped for water! Over the last 20+ years we have walked our dogs towards Stourport and the other way to Wolverley many times. I remember seeing the boat you showed by Tesco that was clad in wood. Looked like they were doing it up, with all the ballast on the back. They were there quite a while, went and came back. Shame about the graffiti, really let's the side down 😢 Wondered where you found to leave the car. There are sometimes vehicles in the locked area by the services.
So close Tanya! We left the car in Wolverley, in the pub car park across the canal, with their permission, but it seems like that's a popular parking spot for walkers and visitors to the area anyway. Graffiti seems to be so commonplace these days anywhere where the canal goes through a town or city. Very sad to see 🙁
I think not having a car would be best but if you need it, you need it. Of course, if there was an emergency a vehicle could be everything and that is true for any boater. It's a sunny 39F here and it looks like the awful cold is behind us. Are you still over here? Éowyn is terrible. I know there has been terrible storms for quite a long time but this one sounds like the worst of all. Winds like that would be terrifying. Hope everyone is OK. ❤
That is sort of where we are at Dorothy, we would like not to need it, but for now it's a necessary inconvenience, but we make the most of the journeys back to pick it up, and see it as part of our adventure. Pete has been keeping the boat and the dogs and the boat safe during the storm, and moved fro our favourite mooring spot at Blakemere to be clear of the tree coverage. He sent video of the very choppy waves on the normally still canal and the wind howling, but we came through it unscathed thankfully. A couple of trees down across the canal again, but we are in no hurry to move off anywhere soon. Wisconsin has warmed up slightly but had been beautifully sunny, if extremely cold, very deceiving when you look out of the window! 😊
I have tried over the years with and without a car and find it almost a nessercary part when winter comes and you get stuck in the stix and need food or fuel also in an emergency but it is a personal choice
We have to admit that having a car during the winter months has made boat life a lot easier. We have used it to transport the cassettes to be emptied and filling up water cubes when we've been frozen in, and driving to pick up coal when the fuel boat has been held up. For now, it's a necessary inconvenience and we just treat the journeys to pick up the car as part of the adventure 😊
Do people on canal boats--long haul cruising--ever form volunteer groups to do weed/vegetation control on blind curves and other chores? I notice you do have volunteers helping at locks in some places.
We have often talked about being a CRT volunteer, but been constantly on the move means we aren't in the same spot for long enough to be part of the team of volunteer lock keepers. We have said if we ever left the canals, or became marina based then it is something we would love to do 😊
Love watching this video, reminds me of such lovely memories of our times on the canal , they were great holidays, much missed, you never know perhaps we could try one last time ❤
It’s always good to hear that viewers are enjoying our content so thank you so much. We get a lot of great comments praising the music choices, but I understand it’s hard to appeal to everyone’s tastes as we are all so different 😊

Such beautiful scenery and the wind in the trees expertly captured as ever!
Thank you as always! Such a beautiful stretch of canal, but that wind I caught in the trees played havoc with the audio 😂
Pete you got to get a e scooter, easy to fold and get one for all terrains and it would fly up the toepath, you could do wheelies and everything. 👍
I can just imagine it! 😂 You'll see Pete's birthday present next week which is a total game changer 😊

We don’t fish ourselves, but it is very popular and we often see people fishing, and fishing competitions along the canals! Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks Edward 😊
Love watching this video, reminds me of such lovely memories of our times on the canal , they were great holidays, much missed, you never know perhaps we could try one last time ❤
So glad we can bring back some lovely memories for you! I vote for you trying it again one last time 😊
