Dear Heidi. I wouldn’t trade you for anything. You do it all and only with Bonnie. And you still make time for your mom, dad, good friends and for us you loyal and adoring viewers. You’ve done it all on your own . I especially appreciate that you took your mom to Poland for a look about. Your sense of humor and sincerity are greatly appreciated. Please never change. Merry Christmas….Joseph and Gigi in Cape May, USA.
@@NamasW24 hi, I’ve covered this in many many videos …. They charge when cruising, by solar in the summer or by my generator when stationary … I’ve lithium batteries
Thanks Heidi. I have watched every one of your videos. You have helped me enormously to get through a very difficult time. I even said hello to you (from a hire boat at Great Heyward; I was captain. I think it was June 2023 ) when you had just fetched Bonnie from Stoke somewhere. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Your videos mean the world to me. Have the best Christmas and my sincerest gratitude. Ron
Heidi, I’ve been watching you for YEARS! Your vlogs just get better and better. Merry Christmas to you and Bonnie. My husband and I ride motorcycles so I’ll look Nick’s channel up! Very cool couple. the most interesting folks live on the canals, I think
Wishing you a truly joyful, relaxing, and happiness-filled Christmas to you and all your loved ones. Again, you've brought so much joy and laughter to all of us, so unfortunately, you'll have to get the coal yourself once more.
Good Thursday to you Heidi and Bonny. Awesome journey to the Black Sea he took. Definitely want to check out his channel. I want to wish you and your family a most wonderful Merry Christmas. We love you guys. Cheers 😊
Yay! Heidi time, I have been watching some back episodes this week for a feel good cheer up in this windy December! Hope you have a lovely Christmas, with plenty of rum. Cheers x
Great vlog today. Lovely to see Nick again, I was at Glossop Comp with him. Still have a copy of his book 'Journey to the Source of the Nile' from many years ago. Have a good Xmas.
Crikey, your friend Nick..... been round the world on a motorbike 8 times AND bicycled around the world 3 times !! Astounding ! Excellent vid Heidi and an air fryer ! (I didn't even know what one was until you showed us). Can't wait for the next video and have a super fab Christmas x
And we all thought Capt Bonny(Santa) was a bloodthirsty pirate and too rough on her 1st mate and now she has shown herself for the Big Softy she really is by buying her Best Mate an extension for the Bulette just to make life easier. Y'all have a very Merry Christmas.
Dear Heidi, Bonny and narrow boat Rum Wench, What a great way to end the year by meeting up with Nick and his wife. Their boats are beautiful and to have journeyed across the channel and Europe must have been an adventure of a life time. Thank you Heidi for all of your hard work and long hours that you have put into your TH-cam channel this year. It has been a pure delight to watch. Do have a wonderful, safe and enjoyable Christmas season with your family. See you next year. Mark Alberta, Canada
What an achievement to make it to the Black Sea. You'll have to ditch some rum bottles to counter the weight of the power bank 😅 Have a lovely Christmas till next time ❤
We continue to adore your company each week! Our Labrador Sara watches Bonny with great interest. Have a wonderful Christmas, Heidi, and thank you for the joy you bring us all each week by just being you. We recently hired a boat from Oswestry and went up the Llangollen canal. We went over the dreaded Aqueduct and had to get someone to pilot the boat back! It was that scary!
Nick and Caroline are friends of mine from our biking lives/world. What a couple, both mad as ,but in a lovely way.👌 Their bikers outdoor adventure centre in North Wales is well worth a visit. Caroline is also a truly AMAZING cook. See you both soon Nick and Caroline, have a grand adventure. XX
Thank you for all your great vlogs this year. We sit down every Thursday evening to watch them. Hope one day in our boat Vontel, we will pass you and say hello. Wishing you a very happy Christmas. Brian and Chris
Hey, I'm glad you got the airfryer . Happy cooking. Those boats were amazing, and that gardner sounded sweet.. Thanks for sharing the time you spent chatting too the lovely couple.. Bonny looked like she was enjoying her new toys . Have a famtastic week ❤
Lovely to see you got home safe and sound Heidi and you had a lovely time with your mum. What an amazing tale of the journey to the Black Sea… haha I do enjoy hearing those funny wet farts … and the best bit is being invited into the rear entrance 😂😂😂😂… have a great week Heidi xxx
Our Heidi and Bonny are here again, what amazing boats they are and travelling all the way to the Black Sea, must have been a Fantastic experience, Bonny just melts my heart Bless her, You've both taken us on an incredible journey over the year, Thank You so much, Have an absolutely Brilliant Christmas and All the Very Best for 2025.
Wow how fantastic are those boats, I love them, and the stories are amazing. You deserve all the gifts, your just great lots of love to you and Bonny Jaqs, mark and woof from Thelma ❤❤❤
Love my air fryer and glad you've got one Heidi. I fry stuff in my microwave and use the air fryer for baking etc.. Have saved a lot on my electric bills. Hope you enjoy yours 😊
Wow what an adventure that narrowboat had. Sooo brave and scary at the same time. Great to meet such amazing people and hear all about their adventures. So pleased you're enjoying your Christmas cruising, along with some great presents. Have a fantastic Christmas.big hugs to Bonny. She loves her toys 🙂. Stay safe xx
Greetings! I'm a fairly new subscriber, and I'm not the sort who Comments very much. However, I just had to let you know how you absolutely brightened my day today, just when I needed it. You are probably my favorite TH-camr. No pretense, unearned super-ego, or fakeness. When I watch your videos, I feel like I'm chatting with a good friend; what I see is what I get, and that's alright by me 😁. I wish many happy days ahead for you & your Bonnie lass! (I live on the southern Oregon Coast, USA, very close to the ocean. I love it here, but I would drop everything & come live the life you're leading. I'm completely fascinated with narrowboats, the lifestyle, and the people. At 77, it might be more of a challenge, but I'm up for it!)
Oh wow, Nick Sanders is really famous! This is absolutely amazing, that's brilliant Heidi. Separately, I hope you enjoy the air fryer, I was reticent but it makes cooking so much simpler and quicker - onion rings / bhajis / veg in a matter of minutes, sausages cooked to perfection, no need to rotate them or anything, that kind of thing. No need to babysit it either as it's all timed. The meal looked spot on and should be a great quality of life boost in addition to regular cooking (despite the power cost!)
I love escaping to the narrowboat world on TH-cam. I only recently discovered your channel and subscribed immediately. I've been watching Cruising the Cut, Minimal List, One Day More and others for a few years now. It's a wonderful way to get my head away from the infuriating, stressful political discourse here in the US. Thanks for lightening up my day with your sense of humor (humour) and positive attitude. Cheers from the middle of America!
Great episode as usual..please move your air fryer further from the wall when it’s working..this is one of those times when 6 inches is definitely needed….
What fascinating people you introduce to us all, thank you Heidi! I really appreciate your effort in finding new people and boats to share. Have a very Happy Christmas!
Oh Heidi ,what a fabulous vlog to take us in to Christmas 😊......you know I love your boat anyway but how awesome is Nicks ,the sound of that engine 😍 , the footage from his Black sea adventure just love the traditional boats ,the butty is beautiful especially the bath.😊 Loved your cooking jingle 😂, Jim obviously giving Rosie her Christmas prezzy 😉 and Bonny loving her "quiet" toys. So much feel goodness in a half an hour, thank you as always. Have an amazing festive season and Merry Christmas to you and all your viewers. 🥳🎄🥂
Hi Heidi you continue to find some really interesting people for us to meet. I was wondering about your Christmas decorations but Bonnie dressed in her outfit is enough. Wishing you, Bonnie and your fantastic family a wonderful Christmas. I would love a cold Christmas one year instead of 30degrees😆 🎄🎄☃️☃️❄️❄️💕 Linda
Merry Christmas and a hope to you for a great New Year. Every Thurs. I would have a coffee with my rescue Watson in my lap and watch your adventures. I sadly lost him recently to illness, so please give Bonny and extra hug for me. Take care.
Just watching you right now Heidi. Try using the air fryer paper liners it will save you a whole lot of cleanup. Watching you in the back entrance. Aww Bonnie is sleeping with her yellow toy.
Great video Heidi x the boats you showed us were beautiful ( especially that bath !!!!) And it brought back memories of Me Mum , she had a Dolly tub and mangle !!! happy childhood days !! 😂 have fun with your Air fryer I absolutely love mine x hope Bonny had one of those sausages !!! Hope you , Bonny and your family have a wonderful Christmas 🎄🎄x stay safe x
Heidi that was a great tour of boat fantastic inside that lovely bath and massive bed really stunning boat lovely nice to see your smiling face again and little Bonny . I hope you and your family and little Bonny have a safe and very happy Christmas bless you all .😊❤x
Thanks so much for the channel Heidi. You put so much effort in and there must be so much you have to do to make these videos. But I love them, your positive attitude the wonderful country side and people you meet. It's really uplifting. So much I'm thinking of heading from new zealand to try out narrow boating. Huge thanks. I live your travels and your music is brilliant. Phil NZ Ps brilliant 🎉
Another lovely vlog Heidi. Nick Sanders needs no introduction, I know of him from the motor biking world where he's been an inspiration for many would-be adventurers. Its lovely to see him looking so well. Have a Great Christmas Heidi, and as always, take care.
Wishing you and your lovely family a really beautiful Christmas, filled with love, laughter, and good food! All the very best for the coming year. And a big thank you again for all the time you have invested into sharing this wonderful life of yours 😊❤🎉🐶🌲
Thanks Heidi and first mate Bonny; A great vlog explaining Bluetti and what you can use it for! I also really enjoyed your visit to the boat and butty (I think thats what you said) Love the bathtub, but would not want to do wash by hand. 😄Wanted to wish you and yours to have a wonderful holiday and to eat only as much as you can carry. 🙃 Cheers and Please stay warm and dry! Happiest of Holidays!!
Hope you have a delightful Xmas Heidi! Wishing you and your family nothing but joy for the next year. Thank you for all the smiles and laughs you've given me this year. You are a joy! ❤❤❤
I reckon this is what makes you stand out from the rest of the vloggers out there- you introduce us to amazing people, the history of our beautiful canal heritage as well as having fantastic adventures of your own and providing us with laughs with your many faffs 😂🤪 Life is for living. Thank you for inspiring some of us to get out of our comfort zone and do something adventurous! Hope to meet you sometime, Captain. I'm still faffing around on the Shroppie getting stuck in locks 😅 Happy Solstice to you, FM Bonny and your lovely folks. All the best ❤🏴☠️🏳️🌈xx
Omgoodness hey Heidi oh the video of the gentleman that crossed the river looked so scary but what an adventure, and his wife those beautiful pillows just gorgeous, so happy to see ya, yea now the hustle and bustle of Christmas I'm taking a breath with each chaotic moment over here, please enjoy your Christmas we will see you when you come back cause the madness is real ❤️ 🤣🤣🤣 so glad you like video I was scared then but hey you gotta say hi❤be safe see ya when you come again your friend Cindy from Orlando Florida 🍹keep warm you and bonnie❤
That's some journey in a Canal boat. I worked on Gardner Engines as a young Apprentice, back in the 70s, they are Beautiful Engines, built to such a high standard and will run forever, so long as they are looked after, pretty much the same as Listers 👍👍
What a super blog as always, fascinating people, love the way you show these interesting people. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us all ,we really love Watching you and Bonnie. Have a fabulous Christmas with you lovely family. Take care and a merry Christmas to you, Bonnie and your lovely mum and dad.XX
Heidi, I wish to say thank you for all the great videos that you have put out over this last year they have been very enjoyable to watch .I wish you and little Bonnie a happy Christmas and a happy new year
Heidi you meet the most interesting people in your travels, Love, love, love that pirate mug ... I think I'm going to have a good look around for one, but mine will be for coffee not rum 😀 have a great Christmas
Blimey Mrs. What an exciting adventure. Taking a boat that far. I'd love to do that. Great vlog. Love it. ❤❤ I'd love to get some free stuff. We do meet some amazing people on the canals. ❤
❤ Heidi, you’re always so good and caring about fellow voters and highlighting them… It was nice to meet Nick and Caroline and to see, especially Caroline’s lovely boat with her clawfoot bathtub… You just gotta have one of those I have one. I bought it special when I built my house It’s aqua to match my colors scheme. So Heidi, my good friend, whose parents were born in Puerto Rico and then they moved to New York and that’s where he was born made me Coquito and I got it yesterday in the mail… I had never heard of it before, and when I went to the liquor store to get rum for it, I saw Chata I’d never seen cause I don’t really go into the liquor store… And then you got some peppermint, which is the grandest thing because every Christmas I have to have peppermint mocha… This year the syrup wasn’t peppermint tea enough I put peppermint candy in it. I put peppermint creamer in it, I put peppermint coffee in it, and even peppermint whipped cream and it’s still not peppermint enough so hopefully yours was. Merry CHRISTmas precious Heidi and your MoM and dad.
Wishing you and Bonnie a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Florida. We love your vlog and look forward to it each week. We have watched you from the beginning. Take care over the holidays.
So glad you're air fryer did well for your first go and love that light up bottle. Merry Christmas to you , bonny and all the family hope you have a fabulous day.
Its good your vlogs come out on a Thursday. All my others tend to pile up on Fridays. 😅 I get overwhelmed ! I saw you were moored near the stinky half sunk boat the other day. 🤢 CRT have stuck notices all over it, but seem very slow in removing. If Bonny has lost a pink rubber ball.... my dog has it. 😂
I love the old style narrowboats and that must of been such an epic but scary journey across the channel. As someone who's never been on a narrowboat I hadn't realised how challenging even the wash could be if the wind blows against the incoming tide 😳 Cooking in an air fryer is great as you can set the timer, which I find really helpful and they make really great homemade chips! Maris piper potatoes (when new they are not as great) Wash the starch off and dry them really well in a tea towel, then add a bit of oil and cook till golden and crispy. My downfall is the toaster, I'm always burning my toast 😆 Have a great Christmas 🎄❤️
Another great video. Loved the tour of that elegant butty and the story of the adventure to the Black Sea. Husband and I are fans of your cooking style, cook once-eat two or three times. Unless cooking is your hobby it is a great way to live.
Absolutely Brilliant Heidi ! You meet the most fantastic people on your canal journeys ! You Certainly ARE a "Rum Wench"" ! All the Very, Very Best for Christmas, and the New Year ! Love to Bonny as well ! Stay Rum ! Stu xx
Merry Christmas Heidi and Bonnie, another great episode, wishing you good health and happiness for 2025. Careful lifting those Bluetti Batteries🙂and have a lovely Christmas with the family🎄🎄
Hiya, I've been a subscriber for a while now. So enjoy your channel & following your adventures. I like seeing all of the folks you meet along the way as well. Merry Christmas to you & your lovely little first mate.
Fabulous video tonight! Highlight of our week! Batteries, Butty’s and Channel crossing….but above all, what an epic suction device….next stop Amazon…..😂😂😂
Watch you all the time was great to see you on Paul and Anthony boat . you are so funny can't wait for your next vlog happy Christmas too you and bonny and New year xx
Dear Heidi. I wouldn’t trade you for anything. You do it all and only with Bonnie. And you still make time for your mom, dad, good friends and for us you loyal and adoring viewers. You’ve done it all on your own . I especially appreciate that you took your mom to Poland for a look about. Your sense of humor and sincerity are greatly appreciated. Please never change.

🤣🤣 I bloody wish 🤣🤣
Dear Heidi, Bonny and narrow boat Rum Wench,
What a great way to end the year by meeting up with Nick and his wife. Their boats are beautiful and to have journeyed across the channel and Europe must have been an adventure of a life time.

I also really enjoyed your visit to the boat and butty (I think thats what you said) Love the bathtub, but would not want to do wash by hand. 😄Wanted to wish you and yours to have a wonderful holiday and to eat only as much as you can carry. 🙃 Cheers and Please stay warm and dry! Happiest of Holidays!!
Merry Christmas ❤️😃🎅🏴☠️🥃
Hope you have a delightful Xmas Heidi! Wishing you and your family nothing but joy for the next year.

Life is for living. Thank you for inspiring some of us to get out of our comfort zone and do something adventurous!
Hope to meet you sometime, Captain. I'm still faffing around on the Shroppie getting stuck in locks 😅

That's some journey in a Canal boat. I worked on Gardner Engines as a young Apprentice, back in the 70s, they are Beautiful Engines, built to such a high standard and will run forever, so long as they are looked after, pretty much the same as Listers 👍👍
What a super blog as always, fascinating people, love the way you show these interesting people.
Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us all ,we really love Watching you and Bonnie.
Have a fabulous Christmas with you lovely family. Take care and a merry Christmas to you, Bonnie and your lovely mum and dad.XX

Heidi you meet the most interesting people in your travels, Love, love, love that pirate mug ... I think I'm going to have a good look around for one, but mine will be for coffee not rum 😀 have a great Christmas
Cheers 😃❤️🏴☠️🥃
Merry Christmas Heidi, and to your family 🌲xx
Merry Christmas to you too xxx
Blimey Mrs. What an exciting adventure. Taking a boat that far. I'd love to do that.
Great vlog. Love it. ❤❤
I'd love to get some free stuff.
We do meet some amazing people on the canals. ❤
I bought that fekker 😫 but it was in the sale and I had a discount code 😂🏴☠️ love it, miss you will xxx have a wonderful Christmas xxx
@TheNarrowboatPirate Oh no..Bless you Mrs. Really miss you too. Merry crumble and an apple new year. I'm hungry..
❤ Heidi, you’re always so good and caring about fellow voters and highlighting them… It was nice to meet Nick and Caroline and to see, especially Caroline’s lovely boat with her clawfoot bathtub… You just gotta have one of those I have one. I bought it special when I built my house It’s aqua to match my colors scheme.
So Heidi, my good friend, whose parents were born in Puerto Rico and then they moved to New York and that’s where he was born made me Coquito and I got it yesterday in the mail… I had never heard of it before, and when I went to the liquor store to get rum for it, I saw Chata I’d never seen cause I don’t really go into the liquor store… And then you got some peppermint, which is the grandest thing because every Christmas I have to have peppermint mocha… This year the syrup wasn’t peppermint tea enough I put peppermint candy in it. I put peppermint creamer in it, I put peppermint coffee in it, and even peppermint whipped cream and it’s still not peppermint enough so hopefully yours was. Merry CHRISTmas precious Heidi and your MoM and dad.
Minty 🤣🤣 Merry Christmas ❤️🏴☠️🎅😃🥃
Thank you for replying Heidi I got it wrong. What he made was COQUITO… It’s very eggnog most likely not like Chata.
Lovely to see how the simple and therefore best things in life give you so much pleasure… enjoying your tales xxx
Merry Christmas Heidi and Bonny!!❤
Same to you 🎅❤️🏴☠️🥃

Awww thank you and the same to you 😃🏴☠️🥃🎁🎅❤️
Sorry nick it looked like a long time ago great watch as always 👍 ❤
It was 1992 and mentioned in the video 😃😃
Its good your vlogs come out on a Thursday. All my others tend to pile up on Fridays. 😅 I get overwhelmed !
I saw you were moored near the stinky half sunk boat the other day. 🤢 CRT have stuck notices all over it, but seem very slow in removing.
If Bonny has lost a pink rubber ball.... my dog has it. 😂
🤣🤣 I was away - I’ve been DJing all through December so away in my van a lot 😃😃
Thanks for all the vids Heidi. Have a great Christmas 🎅🏻🎄🕊️
Thank you! You too! 😃🏴☠️🎁🎅❤️🥃
I love the old style narrowboats and that must of been such an epic but scary journey across the channel.
As someone who's never been on a narrowboat I hadn't realised how challenging even the wash could be if the wind blows against the incoming tide 😳
Cooking in an air fryer is great as you can set the timer, which I find really helpful and they make really great homemade chips!
Maris piper potatoes (when new they are not as great) Wash the starch off and dry them really well in a tea towel, then add a bit of oil and cook till golden and crispy.
My downfall is the toaster, I'm always burning my toast 😆
Have a great Christmas 🎄❤️
Fabulous thank you and Merry Christmas 😃❤️🥃🎅🏴☠️
Another great video. Loved the tour of that elegant butty and the story of the adventure to the Black Sea. Husband and I are fans of your cooking style, cook once-eat two or three times. Unless cooking is your hobby it is a great way to live.
Haha I only eat because I have to 🤣 I usually live on crackers and cheese 🤣🤣
Air fryers are ace haha great vlog once again.bigluv to you n bonny x🤠
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
Happy Christmas Heidi.... sending love yoos and Bonnie's way xxxx
