Good to see the sunshine. The sun won't rise high enough to touch my house again for another week with the short days. Playing for a Contra Dance tonight. Making music and dancing is a great thing to do when it's -27C outside. Stay warm and thank you for taking us along.
Loved the vlog. I love to go charity shopping, thought you got a great buy with your coat. We always look forward to Wesdnesday, Fradley Junction holds such alot of lovely memories for me. Thank you for just being you.
I am watching you make a banana cake and your message drops down on top of my screen.im sure Paul will enjoy it with his coffee. Have you ever thought about getting a coffee machine.Bob
Not really thought about a coffee machine, probably because of the power it would use, we've had a few different types when we were in our house though 😉😊
Such a treat on NYday! Love your banter, and we do love to see the locks and all, that why we follow boaters, right? Anyway, hope you had a great festive season and can’t wait to see what will come up next! Good to see Cptn Erns in his working outfit to keep him warm in his office! Best wishes again for a Healthy 2025!❤🦮♥️🥂🥇🥂
Hope you had a lovely Christmas Eric. Wishing you all the best for 2025. If I kept all Paul's lock footage in the vlogs they would probably be about 3hours long 🤣 😊
@@uponreflection Thank you, guys, you could do a geek’s episode, fit them all in one episode!😊 you can offset it with an episode of your artwork! I think that is fair, no? It would balance properly! And one episode about Cptn Ern’s adventures! 🥰
Hey Guys, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the work and effort you put into keeping us entertained throughout the year. Like I've said on some of the other channels I watch, I know it's not always easy and I'm sure there are times you would rather just sit back enjoy the day rather than picking up a camera or sitting behind a computer editing for hours but, with you guys, I'm not so sure that you don't have more fun making content. lol..😆😆. Either way, I truly do appreciate it because it gives me a nice escape from the issues and troubles of the day. As always, thank you for sharing a little bit of your lives with us. Take care. Roger
Happy New Year Roger. It's lovely to hear that you enjoy our videos and join us on our weekly adventures. You're right though, we do have fun..camera rolling or not and we enjoy sharing our adventures with you 😉😊
Hope you have enjoyed a wonderful holiday season. I love opening TH-cam to find you've dropped a new video. You are both fun people but ,"Oh my, Ernie is quite cute" Hoping for a mild winter - for all of us. Take care!
That's this Government for you, Paul, "pay extra get less" remark! Anyway have a great New Year you three, what would I do without you, scenery, places, fun and Ernie. BTW I think it is Liz, can I just say your scenery filming has come on leaps and bounds, so much so some of the scenes I would happily have only wall. One artist/photographer to another. I miss Ernie not having is Snood on hope he's not getting cold. See you next week!
Hi Nigel, Happy New Year to you too. Thank you for the compliments about the scenery filming/photos. You've encouraged me to get out my proper camera this year rather than just pointing my phone at it. You never know I may actually capture a Kingfisher 😉 😊
Happy New Year. Interesting to see Paul’s journey back for the car. I have to make a similar one. Kings Bromley to Longport. Was interested to glimpse Longport station. Stay warm and safe.
It's was quite handy being able to jump on the train, we normally just walk back and only go so far but this canal is good for longer journeys and rail back 😀
Happy New Year to you all 🎉. Some lovely reflection shots of the scenery with beautiful colours, shame about the King Fisher they do fly so fast and it takes a while to focus on were they are but they are beautiful to see. 🥂 here's to following you on this year's adventures 🥂
Happy New Year Simon. The colours along that stretch were beautiful. We've been very unlucky with kingfisher spotting, hopefully this year we will get to see one a little closer. 😀
LPE HAPPY NEW YEAR to all hope you had a great christmas and a sober new year i must say i was not drunk this time how bloody sad .oh well never mind im happy to see you all i wasnt exspecting you on so soon . if i had of known i would of made you a cup of coffee good god your looking very awake god bless ya
Happy New Year to you all, Liz Paul and Ernie. Thanks for another lovely cruise. Some very beautiful photography in there Liz. Well done. Can't wait to follow your adventures in 2025. All the best.
Hi Liz, Paul and Ernie. Canal seemed very quiet. Lovely sunshine with some beautiful views of autumnal colours Loved all the banter as usual. Wishing you all a very happy New year 🎉😊 Looking forward to following your journey 2025
Good to see you both.Maybe get a clapper board for the musical bits .Try not to trap Paul’s nose in it 😂Know what you mean about old coats ,My favourite is held together mainly with Gorilla tape 😊(does for the farm yard)
Hi Anthony, Happy New Year to you. I'd be tempted to trap more than his nose in it 🤣🤣 I've kept my other jacket an dear it for dog walks, which to be quite frank is anytime as I've always got little Webie with me 😉😊
*Kia ora (hello) Liz, Paul & Captain Ernie & ngā mihi o te tau hou (happy new year) to you all as well 🙂That banana cake looked yummy so please send me some 🙂Gosh the photos of the scenery are amazing.🙂 Kia kaha (stay strong) keep well and safe travels in 2025 🙂nz*
Dear Liz, Paul and Captain Ernie, It is wonderful to have you back again. Hope all went well for you over Christmas and New Years eve. Liz I have always appreciated how you place the canal name in the bottom right hand corner of the screen and the name of the bridges and locks i the lower left. Often I have the CRT map open on my screen so that I can follow your journey. Yesterday I watched a wonderful BBC TH-cam video about the old timers and their lives on the canals. It is called 1969: MEMORIES of the NARROW BOAT MEN Take care, Mark Alberta, Canada
Hi Mark, we had a lovely Xmas and a quiet New Year Eve. Hope you had a fabulous one too. That's lovely tochear that you sometimes get the map and see where we are. I need to learn how to show a map and have us moving along it so you can visually see the route...it's on my to do list this year 😉 That programme sounds interesting I'll have a look at that. Happy New Year 😊
If you have contact with Heidi on narrow boat Rum Wench I am sure that she would help you out with the map idea, it really is useful, though I am to understand it is a bit of work. Maybe you could have Captain Ernie running along the route lol. What ever you come up with it will be fantastic. Mark Alberta, Canada@@uponreflection
@markrant1460 I'd thought that, have little Ernies paws tracking the route. I have seen a few videos on it I just need to spend some time working it all out 😉😀
Happy New Year you three!! 🍾🍷🍹🍺🥂 Great start to the new year! Liz tell him ----------> He's complaining about your coat lookin scruffy?? Has he looked in the mirror lately he looks like Steptoe's brother! haha! :) Your boaters, you always look scruffy in winter, stop bein a snob lol. If ya like your coat Liz, wear it as long as your warm no one carse. That's the only thing I don't like either this time of year the sun is so low it blinds you and after a while your eyes start aching. Hope you have a wonderful new year you three, my left legs itching so it's gonna be a good summer :) PS: Have you seen Taylors aboards vlog about the Bridgewater canal colapsing? it's bad.
Ha ha I actually called him steptoe the other night when he was gallivanting around in his long John's 🤣 😆 I've kept the coat, I wear it for dog walks, which to be fair is all the time as I always have little Ernie with me 🤣 Yes we've been watching and seen the photos on social. Quite incredible, that's going to take some repairing there isn't it. Happy New Year to you, hope that leg remains itchy 🤣😉😊
Not looking good for the Bridgewater canal and the boats on it they are listing . I bet they will need help . As that breach is big , and it will take time to get it done . Not the best start of 1.1.2025.
Hi there, yes we have seen footage of the breach on the Bridgewater. It's enormous and looks like it will be quite costly to repair. Thankfully it seems the boats and people nearby are safe 😊
Yes we did a whole vlog on it the last time we travelled this way and I think this was mentioned back then but I forgot all about it. I've now written in my notes and will definitely give it a watch. Thanks 😊
to right paul its like the sweets smaller bars more money bloody cheek i dont eat chocolates any more i cant see them there so small they say its to stop people getting fat utter rubbish
@@uponreflection liz i had a box of chocolates over christmas they was so small cadburys hell i said to julie wheres the chocolates its a joke if i gave you and paul them i would have a red face for ages talk about a con blimey its rubbish as ernies would say the beer isnt as strong either struth happy love bothxxxxxxxxxxx

Wow sounds like a lovely evening. Hope all goes well and enjoy 😊
sometimes when you video Ernie I can hear him say "bugger off mate, can't you see I'm chilling", 🤣🐕
🤣 He hates the camera, looks away when I point it in his direction so he would definitely be saying something along those lines 🤣😊
May you all have a Happy and prosperous New Year. ❤
Thank you and you 😊
Loved the vlog.
I love to go charity shopping, thought you got a great buy with your coat.

I'm only joking I know you weren't comparing the two 🤣😉😊
@ huh?!? Stay off the booze! Lol! 😘
beautiful scenes of the lovely autumn colours and the fleeting glimpse of the kingfisher😊
Hi there, kingfishers are just so fast, must take a lot of stillness and patience to capture a good shot of one...maybe one day 😉 Happy New Year 😀
Thank you that was lovely
You're very welcome John, glad you enjoyed. Happy New Year to you 😊
