    I cannot put into words how much I enjoy this channel. As a serial TH-cam video-hopper it's very rare I find myself watching every video someone has done and then re-watching them, but here I am! Thank you so much for the amazing content, you truly are a unique and brilliant talent at this.

    Thursday night is Heidi night
    We're watching all her vlogs
    Heidi has a tit of rum
    While Bonnie barks at dogs
    Each Thursday night adventure
    Is edited with care
    It makes me feel so happy
    And wish that I was there
    The pirate boat is awesome
    With its happy smiling crew
    You make us all so happy
    We hope you're happy too
    Keep up the fab work Heidi Girl and Bonnie Dog Aaaaaaarrrrgghhh ☠️ 🏴‍☠️ 🍹🍸

    Love that Leaky Lock poem. Speaks to me of life.
    And yes, as a former boater and now a caravaner, I love having tanks full/empty whatever, and batteries charged, etc. Makes life so nice. People who own homes that have water and electricity and sewer 24x7, maybe they can't understand the "joy" of this sort of thing. 🙂 Trying to find water, fuel, coal, etc, much less a place to park your boat for the night. Much less the concerns of weather and wind.
    Oh, nice rainbow! and sunset. and clouds reflected in the water. Jaks! twice!
    What a busy, fun, festival. I had no idea. This is so cool. Gorgeous boats, 1933 Swift. My last boat was 1939.
    AAAARGH!

    DITTY - By Erik -watching from the Netherlands with his wife Arjanti👋🏽👋🏽
    Loosely based on a famous song
    Her Bonnie is known over the Ocean
    Her Bonnie is known over the sea
    This Pirate is known over the Ocean
    Oh show us your video's to see
    Last night as we watched them cruising the cut
    The winds thrashing all over there
    Last night she was cuddling that mut
    The winds laying down over there
    Seeing the Rum Wench brings us much joy
    From here far over the ocean
    Bonnie and Heidi ain't coy
    To bring us their adventures in motion
    So happy so watch them and see.

    What a fab festival. Lovely to see Jackie, and Nicki of course! So good to see Bobby enjoying herself too - she’s come so far since you adopted her. All those people and dogs and she did brilliantly. Safe travels up north - looking forward to the next instalment of life with Heidi already! 😊🏴‍☠️

Thank you again Heidi and Bonny for another feel good thursday.😊..........oh and you definitely aren't a baby re the wind, having had a couple of " interesting moments" in it meself..... until next week take care out there and careful faffing .😁.....oh and loved the leaky lock ditty.😊

    Great conclusion to the ditty. For those of us on the sailing side of boating, we like to call it "the most expensive way to get somewhere very slowly for free". Hurrying is just not on.
    I just went out (also singlehanding) the other day in a bit more wind than I was expecting and ... came right back in after 20 minutes. Nothing wrong with knowing your limits!

    The sign on the bridge still proclaims it as "Ball's Bridge", in recognition of the fact that the original bridge on that location was built and owned by the Ball family, a well-known Dublin merchant family in the 1500s and the 1600s. The current bridge was built in 1791.

    I spotted the cameo appearance by ex boater David there. Yes, the old engines are interesting, you've got a very nice one too, I'm surprised at how reliable it is considering it's age, it was certainly built to last. I think out of all the old ones I like the Russell Newbury DM2 most, those things sound so cool, if I was having a boat built I'd like to pop one of those in it. Interestingly they were built not far from where I lived in my UK days. Thank you again for a lovely video, I always look forward to them.

    Hello Heidi ... I totally love the Leaky Lock poem ... I think there's a message there for all of us to follow even if we aren't on a narrowboat. Happy end of the trading season. Looks like grand fun, hope your sales were good and the pirate booty was great to help tide you through the Winter. Jaki is a lot of fun, I was glad to see her and she seems to be a great Auntie for Bonny. Looks like Bonny did really well at the festival. As usual, I am reserving my spot on the Rum Wench for next week ... wouldn't miss it for the world. Hugs and love you you both and to those who journey with you. Please give a warm hello to Niki from "Gramma Lainee" as well.

    Next week in Aust is the " race that stops a nation" the Melbourne Cup where every one frocks up ( and whatever is the male equivalent). A hat or fasinator must be worn - your pirate hat would definitely be a fashion statement❤😊 ( google melbourne cup millinery). Me thinks you could get away with the pirate theme for the day - ditch the high heels! They tend to get stuck in the grass and give you blisters😎

    Always a good treat. I used to do wood turnings and did things like this. Playing a Contra Dance Friday. Better make sure the sound system is gathered and ready to go. Winter is definitely here. Had a moose just out the door a couple nights ago. Had to wait a bit as it moved away so i could gather wood from the wood shed. Take care and stay dry.
