    Good Morning from San Francisco. Just a note to let you know how much I look forward to Sunday mornings and each new episode, it is my great chance to escape the noise of the city and enjoy the British countryside. Yours ,Tom

    12:54, Munchie's face, like he's just discovered you've forgotten the cat food.
    13:03, he's accepted the lack of food, and has lost all motivation.
    Also, that fruit for kids to eat while shopping is a great idea!

    One of the things we love to do anytime we are in a new country is check out the supermarkets! Great idea to take viewers on a tour of Tesco. I was VERY happy to see the Postman Pat van outside. When my girls were little they LOVED to ride in the van alongside Pat. And of course Jess was a bonus (our black and white cat is called Jess...) Great vlog as usual! Take us to Morrisons and all the other markets please - it's a treat to see them for overseas viewers - and they are a bit different from each other.

    On our recent visit to the UK, we stayed in Market Harborough for a few days Lovely walkable town with 6 grocery stores within easy walking from our motel and in some cases within sight of each other, in the downtown area. Since we enjoy picnic type meals, instead of eating in restaurants, we were in heaven with so much choice available. There was a Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Waitrose, Sainsbury and a Co-Operative. It was fun exploring them all. I can’t wait to visit the UK again. We had the best time for the entire 10 days of our visit.

      Katz 29 The best thing about it is that you can pack straight into your bags as you shop, avoiding the scenario at the checkouts where all your careful trolley management goes to pot and you end up with all the squishy stuff coming through first and getting flattened by tins as you pack!

    Thank you for the trip inside Tesco. I follow quite a few narrow boats and they all go shopping but never show inside of any shops. How many birds or cows can you see! Coming from USA I'd even like to see the inside of Aldi to compare. Your bakery and meat sections look so much fresher. A stroll thru a pretty town would be nice too! And your art is so beautiful! It took me awhile to adapt to your charm after cruising the cut and the silver foxes but now I adore you both! I've relaxed my days away during the pandemic with 5 or 6 narrowboats series. I've become addicted to following your lives. My husband thinks I'm nuts but it's better than watching crazy Biden! Even crazier, I sit on my pontoon boat with a gin and tonic watching all of you on my phone! Keeps this crazy old lady out of trouble and off amazon! Happy boating! Oh and the new boat is great! Bye!

    The Tesco Extra was expensive. You should have stopped at the Radford In Stafford. Not only would You have got a great Breakfast but there Is a Aldi across the road. You would have got twice as much for less the money. Good luck with the rest of the Journey. We bought a boat up from Surrey to Stafford In one Week, It was amazing to back on a Boat again. It was called "The Jessey" Look out for Her Shes Blue.

    Thank you so much for the tour of Tesco’s. Could you explain the bank/system of scanners? Does the store not have check-out grocery clerks? I’ve never seen anything like it. I was most surprised by the amount of packaging for the produce, haven’t seen that where I come from either (rural Washington state, USA.) I was also interested in seeing the meal you had. This is why I like watching you so much-beautiful, calm, educational and with kitties and art! So much fun!

    Yay -- I didn't ask for Tesco, but I was just thinking that would be interesting. I loved M and S food court when I was last in the UK. Thanks for the vlog - lovely scenery from a lovely couple. Just thinking about all the plastic boxes -- you should take a few bags and leave the plastic with the shop. We've gone all "no single use plastic bags" here in Qld but the supermarkets are putting fruit in those boxes which seems to be ridiculous. I'm going to give them back at the checkout. :)
    Beautiful paintings!!!!!

    awe poor munchy is upset because you haven't got the cat food, also one of our cats called Simba checks the shopping trolley when my wife comes home from shopping for their food or treats and once he finds the treat sticks he takes them out of the trolley and runs off with them, but if he gets hold of a bag of treat biscuits he'll grab a bag run off upstairs and into one of the bedrooms where he'll rip it open and help himself, I know we shouldn't laugh at him for doing it but he's so funny at doing it as he's so sneaky when he gets them, he'd make a good cat burglar(excuse the pun)

    Hi, the Marmite reminds me of the Vegemite Down Under - There's a Woolworth's in nearly every town. Big but mostly not outside the town. Even the payment system reminds me of our two voyages to AUS and NZ (we are from Germany) besides you scan everything at the end. It was too short to compare prices with our supermarkets, but the fruit seems a bit more expensive.

    Dear Both, thank you so much for these informative and entertaining episodes. I have been concerned for a while since you last left Rugeley about your adorable cats, not having any further mention or appearance of them en-route to Stone until now on your return. Indeed I would worry sick about losing them through the hedge! Also some of the canal water is highly suspect and not ideal to take a dip! There are lovely voles in and around the canal but also rats and they do cause disease, sorry I'm sure you know this already, I'm just a worrier.
    Feeling a little sad and nostalgic having watched your Rugeley experience, I used to live a short walk away from your moorings and know that stretch of the Trent and Mersey so well from the tow path (so many lovely walks including Cannock Chase) to cruising on a 45 ft steel narrow boat (Ermenilda) purchased from Canal Cruising Company at Stone back in 1982! She was moored at the fruit farm Little Haywood by the bridge, then moved to beside the Plum Pudding pub at Armitage - BOG TOWN - ha ha....
    If you are still near Rugeley you can visit the grave of Christina Collins where she still haunts St. Augustine's churchyard, Christina was murdered on the Bloody Steps beside the River Trent aqueduct by three drunken boatmen as she was making her way to London in 1837.
    The Rugeley Poisoner Dr. Palmer is said to haunt locations in the town where he committed his terrible crimes.
    Since 2005 I moved to Yorkshire and particularly miss the canals of the midlands, and so many memories! There are alas no canals around Scarborough, the Leeds Liverpool and the Aire and Caulder probably the nearest with a short stretch of canal at Driffield near The Wolds. Now I'm feeling very nostalgic indeed but it is great to see much of the area has not lost its charm and you two kind soul mates sharing your enchanting Narrow Boat tales with the rest of us. Please take care of yourselves and the felines xx Jayne Anne xx
    P>S Shugborough Hall is worth a visit from Great Hayward easy but busy moorings for pubs The Clifford Arms and Lamb and Flag and Red Lion .... I believe they serve coffee these days.... xx

      All cats are safe. I'm a worrier also. Unfortunately you all would be the first to know if anything happened.
