This vlog had it all. Sun, floods, wind and poor Ernie falling in the canal, plus great music. Thanks for 5he usual funny bits too. Bye for now.
Thanks Glynnis, Ernie has just about got over his little swim🤣😀
Some flooding there for you. Well that looked like fun moving your boat back to a water point.
We had so much rain. The poor ground was swamped by it all
Lovely Vlog beautiful days - Spring has sprung! you make me laugh Liz with that cheeky grin lol x
Hi Rebecca, that grin has gotten me out of many a trouble in my time 🤣😊
Another great video. Had to laugh at Paul's trip to the co-op! Thanks guys.
Thanks for watching Neil. Think I'll be doing the milk runs for a little while to make up for this 🤣😊
Love the way, Ernie sits up high on the boat!
Hi Nigel. He used to sit down by Paul's legs but one day he kept crying to see what was going on so we placed him up there. He loves it. Think we've created a future problem though as in summer it will be too hot up there for him and now he won't travel quietly unless he's up there 😬😀
You''ll have to get him a lovely sunshade, he's worth it!@@uponreflection
@@nigelbranchett7718he's totally worth it but trouble is we wouldn't be able to see to steer boat with a sun shade over him 😂😊
Brilliant as always. Love some of the music in-between! Xxx
Thanks Sandra 😀
Lovely vlog this week, great countryside shots. I hope Erns hasn’t had nightmares after his fall into the canal. See you all next week. Have a good one
He seemed to have the hump for a good few hours after his little dip bless him. Thanks again for watching Diana. See you next week 😊
Paul is a trooper, 3 hours to fetch milk and such. How are you going to make up for this unfortunate lapse in judgment, Liz?😂
Hope you three are well, take good care of yourselves ~ Hugs & Love 🤗💕, Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾
I know. I did feel bad. He was OK really, all in good spirits and part of boatlife adventures 🤣😊
That was funny! Lucy & Rollo. xx
Ha ha 😂 don't forget to like and subscribe 🤣😉
ALL HANDS ON DECK CAPTAIN ERNIES OVERBOARD!! Sorry Ernie for laughing but of all the crew to jump ship and then to see you in your house coat.
Paul and Liz the music was brilliant, everything about it was perfect it really set the mood for spring. Speaking of spring we have just come out of another cold snap with snow. This next week will be sunshine and plus temperatures.
Liz you can be such a tease to your poor hard done by husband. Chin up Paul the walk did you AND Captain Ernie good.
Liz as for you posing for a calendar, not a bad idea. What about generating a calendar for next year, the sales could add to your revenue and with all of the pictures that you two have compiled it could be amazing.
With many laughs from the other side of the world I wish you many more sunny, warm days.

Thank you so much Mark. Ernie has just about got over his little dip🤣 what's life about a if you can't tease your other half🤣😉 Hope your cold snap ends soon then, we have hoped all winter to see snow but we only got to see about 3 snowdrops on the ground. It seems to have snowed all around us and missed us on more than one occasion! 😕 Thabks for watching, see you next week 😊
Great vlog guys lovely spring leaves and colour's poor dog he looked so ticked off bless him love your music choices this week stay safe and warm
Thanks Nicholas, Poor Eenie, he had the right hump for a good few hours after his little dip 🤣😊
Lovely funny vlog as usual.
Poor Ernie falling in the canal.😮
He did feel sorry for him self for a good few hours afterwards jayne 🤣😊
Strike the pose Liz .
🎉
🤣
had a good laugh at paul's long walk to the "nearest" co-op 😂😂 my husband would swear i did it on purpose if that was me 😂😂😂 he'd be right too because i'd want to get him out my sight for a bit if we lived in a small space 😂😂😂 workingmy way through your videos in no particular order
He wasn't too happy Donna but actually he enjoyed the walk in all honesty, just gave him something to moan about 🤣 thank you for watching and working through the videos. There is a playlist which will show you them in the right order if you'd prefer. Either way, happy watching and we hope you enjoy them 😊
Love the antics,love your long walk Paul I watch from New Zealand ex Yorkshire girl😂
Hi Linda. Thanks for watching. I visited Yorkshire a few times as a little girl, beautiful part of the country. 😊
Hi, enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing it with us. The drone shots were good, even seeing all the water logged fields. Love the banter between you.
Take care and stay safe. See you next time.
Thank you Yvonne. Glad you enjoyed it. We've had so much rain of late but the last few days have been dry so hopefully the land will recover soon. 😊
Great to see you still enjoying my bit of the country. Loved the music this week. I’ll be in Scotland from the 9th to the 16th April, please hit Huddlesford before or after those dates.🥳
Hi there Jean, we are hanging about here for a bit as we have a boat service booked in next week and then will continue the journey towards Huddlesford. Hopefully it will fall either side of those dates. 🤞😊
We are in Huddlesford Jean. Drop us a message on Instagram or Facebook if you do see this in time 😀
Great Vlog as usual 👍Love Ernie 😘
Thanks Jan 😀
Love watching you and Ernie enjoy the sun coming I hope Maggie Manchester UK 🇬🇧 ❤
Thanks Maggie 😀
Thank you so enjoy watching made me laugh with the coop
Thanks Lorraine. Glad you enjoyed 😊
OMG, 3 hours, shame on you Liz, poor fellow. I do hope Paul received extra credit points for carrying on and being a good husband. 🤣😆 How are you going to make up for this unfortunate incident?
Anyway, good to see you three, hope you're all well ~ Hugs & Love🤗💖, Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾
Looks like I'll be on the milk and shopping runs for a while to make up for this 🤣 in fairness he enjoys a good walk anyway 🤣😉
@@uponreflection
I know, I just enjoy your humor and the banter. 😂
Good night Ernie and liz and Paul I am watching your lastest video tonight I have fallen in to the canal I was very scared because I was wearing my hiking boots they were filling up with water and I couldn't get back on to my parents narrow boat but I was OK at the end no more spare clothes to wear
Took Ernie a while to get over himself and stop having the hump. 🤣😊
Another fab video.
Thanks so much 😀
THE NEXT WERE GOING HERE we have to move the boat to much shade but you guys have had a hell of a winter all the way around and it looks like repairs are going to take awhile. We will give you 2 one thing you were in good form today take care of each other and stay safe.
It's been a very wet winter but it's been pretty mild so could be worse. Thanks for watching 😀
Well said Liz locks can be so dangerous take them slowly and safely, never be rushed by anyone. Paul an evil thought went through my mind when Liz was on the gate I thought you were gonna push her off lol. See Paul your madness is spreading now another poor dogs getting the treatment from that woman lol. Did tell you never pass a water point even if you only fill a few gallons. Brillaint vlog as always loved the music! Stay safe guys! :)
ps: your comming up to Alvecote Marina there are some fantastic old boats in there.
We didn't pass the water point we filled up but spent a few nights moored up past it so thought it would be best to reverse up to it and top up rather than forward to find the next one. Alvecote marina, we have since been passed and actually put the boat in it for 2 nights while we visited family (you'll see that in the next couple of vlogs) it's a nice marina and like you say lots of working boats. See you next week 😃 😊
Love the hat
😉
Shopping at least you get Exercise!!!!!!!! 😂
Yep, a nice walk in nature even if 20mins did turn our to be 3 hours 🤣😊
👍
Thanks for watching 😀
Ernie is so childish, with his pronunciation. Definitely the star of this episode with his midwalk swim
Ha ha poor little Ernie, he did sulk for a few hours after his little swim 😉😊
*Morena Liz, Paul & Ernie 🙂Wow the drone footage of the countryside is spectacular. Ohh poor Ernie falling in... and getting all stinky. I am not really sure that he would have enjoyed getting a bath to wash away all his new stinky smells tho lol 🙂 Paul walking for those 3 hours was really great exercise for you.... good for your heart etc etc. Gosh so much flooding in the countryside of Coventry... So how far was it that you 'walked' the barge backwards? Enjoy going into the Spring weather.... as the summer seems to have disappeared here and we are now into Autumn... temps are dropping.*
Hi Andrea. It wasn't that far that we had to walk the boat back, probably quarter or mile. Poor Ernie had the hump for a few hours after his little fall 🤣 Hope Autumn is kind to you there. See you next week 😊
@@uponreflection *Yep autumn better be nice.... it so chilly I got me trackpants on....! Just been dealing with a blocked downpipe... since last Sunday in the pouring down rain when I got so drenched... and yep the air was hot with certain words lol.... So since Monday they sent out company man to check who did the job a year back... Tuesday the man from the gutter co came out... today he was back to discover why it blocked... now got a leaf catcher thingee on at the bottom of the downpipe.. 6inches of yuk came out.. They glued the downpipe to the part that goes under the house... that was what caused the issue.. as the pipe was made smaller due the glue sticking out all around the join.. oops. Back to training for some guys. 🙂 but all fixed now. 🙂*
Xx
Thanks for watching 😀
I like to leave a comment because some dude named Al Gorithm says it helps.
Ha ha that made me chuckle. Thanks for commenting and thank your mate Al 🤣😉😊
Not a buttercup but aconite I suspect
Oh yes I think you may be right there as I've just read that buttercups don't flower until May 😊
