    He has a Mrs with 4 cygnets at the moment and patrols the whole stretch, fending off all other swans and geese.

    Burton is world renowned for the quality of it's beer. It's all down to the water used. In times gone by rival breweries up and down the country would go to Burton to take water samples to see if they could reproduce it, naturally they couldn't. I'm a Londoner now living these past 40 years in Dorset and I picked up that information somewhere along the way! I'm enjoying your videos and looking forward to seeing how your boat is inside.

    Aww I was sad to see the swan swim off, but I suppose they needed to be somewhere. It's a small world when you meet another boat with such a similar name! I wish I'd bought one years ago.

    • @bettyonaboat
      @bettyonaboat  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes it was strange to meet another one with such a similar name! The woman seemed lovely too.

    Hi, loved this lated video, thank you 😀 Nice to see you in Burton-on-Trent, which is my neck of the woods. Burton really was the brewing capital of England years ago, with not only Marstons but also Bass Breweries and Ind Coope/Allied Breweries based there. Now it's mainly Marstons and Coors. Burton is also famous for making Marmite, and as all the locals would tell you, the smell from the factory at certain times of the day was pretty awful!!

    Your subscriber count is going up at a rate of knots Betty 🙂 good to see . As far as people seeing you talk , whether they realise you have a camera or not doesn't matter because lots of people use Bluetooth hands free ear pieces these days , for example if I see someone alone in their car talking , I'd just assume they are on a hands free phone call .
    Nice little journey with your swan escort and all the scenery , going back to fetch your car must keep you fit as well , I imagine it's not always possible to get the car somewhere close to your boat when you fetch it ?
