am 77 old sailor from UK Poole , Dorset, retired in Australia, am enjoying your video's and canal stuff (dont be rude), if i didnt have a damaged weak back ,I'd holiday with you for couple summer months, my pleasure is cab,merlot reds.
I think you are a very wonderful person. And I love ❤️ the way you are giving Bonny her best life . We have a French 🇫🇷 bulldog and he is now living his best life here in Spain 🇪🇸 with us . Best wishes as always. ☠️☠️☠️
My bucket list is to live on a narrow boat . I've Been boating since 1968 but river cruising , I'm fed up with them in flood . This year it will happen ,I believe. 😂
"Our good Captain is stranded on the Weaver. Send rum supplies quick, she has cabin fever!" Fab vlog Heidi, interesting to see the 'other side' of boat life when it's not all plain sailing. And your innuendos are still as cheeky as ever (make me chuckle every time 😂😂) FM Bonny looks like she's taking it all in her stride, protecting her Cap'n against the 'Big Dogs' which may try to board the Rum Wench! Keep ticking things off your bucket list and please keep entertaining us with your mental ramblings, you're hilarious! Stay safe and ramble on always 🏴☠️🌈 xx
I recently checked off a small bucket list item Heidi. I've lived 72 years 250 miles from what is considered by many to be the finest zoo in America, never been there. Spent a delightful 3 days exploring everything, stayed overnight in the "big city", had a ball.
Accordions are so magical! Thanks for playing for us. I’m so glad you have Bonnie. I spend a lot of time on my own and would be lost without my little dog Dotty, my horses, parrots and chickens…They keep us going to be sure.
Bonny is so very bonnie and she's really taken to life on the boat, you're both so lucky to have found each other. Thankyou for sharing your life with us, you always put a smile on my face. 😊❤
Heidi, I wrote down in my wish list: when Heidi is cold, hug her and warm her up. I don't think it will come true. She is too young and beautiful. My delight is that you play the accordion. Cool. We could make an orchestra, I also have a musical instrument.😅❤
Hi Heidi, I’m so sorry that weather has stopped play again, but you are shining all the way through the winds and rain of good ole Blighty! It was lovely to hear you play the accordion, we would love it if you played on your vlog more often, you are so gifted. My bucket list is enormous, so here are a few things from it: Spend a month or two in New Zealand and then Australia, swim in the sea with dolfins and whales, stand on the top of Mount Snowdon in Wales, spend a month or two in North and South Ireland drinking all the draught Guinness, and have a narrowboat holiday in Wales! There that is the some of the big ones on my bucket list. Have fun on the Weaver Heidi, lots of love to you and Bonnie. ❤x x❤
Fab video. Some funny bits and you’re always happy regardless of what’s thrown your way. Brilliant 😊 think the odd tune now and again on the accordian would be a great addition 🎶🎹 stay safe and keep vlogging 🏴☠️
Hi Heidi, your strength of character shines through once again… there’s not many boaters I know who would attempt the M Ship canal let alone strong flowing rivers. My bucket list is “ I have a large kidney stone ‘staghorn’ in my right side, I’ve been waiting for over 6 months for treatment, it causes excruciating pain along with bleeding, my bucket list is to be pain free at locks “ it really hurts winding paddles”… great video, be safe!
Hi Heidi - bucket list. I want to go to Finland and see the northern lights. Im saving for a motorhome and a narrowboat! I need experience so am happy to volunteer as crew for you lol. I want to go to Ireland. If money was plentiful, Id like to get my pilots license. Hoping to do a history degree soon. Xx
@@paulinehiggins8239 wow.. that is so kind… please don’t waste your wish on me, I’ve lived with kidney stones on and off for 40 years, I’ve learnt to deal with the pain, it’s jus the bleeding that can get scary 👍🏻
Awww you guys are wonderful ❤️, that’s lovely Pauline …. And I also hope you are pain free soon dingnextstop …. And Jan the motorhome and Narrowboat are a great combo 😃🏴☠️❤️
Oh Heidi I laughed heartily at your " as you can see its a beautiful day"🤣......regardless of everything you soldiered on to entertain us all......just loved the shots of the boats powering up the MSC 😍....Bonny's expressions make me chuckle ......thank you as always for sharing with us all......Take great care out there ,happy adventuring......Bucket list......just to get out on the waterways for a good long exploration.😁
Cruising solo with a dog, lots of care needed there and you sure do that. Have you ever put Bonnie in the water with her life jack on so she knows how that will feel? Hope you have, or you will. 🙂 Ahhhh, the river Weaver, so peaceful even in the rain. And yet, yes the wind and the lapping of the waves ... most people don't know how much noise the water makes against your hull. It truly can be very noisy! Well, at least you are safe. I didn't know you played the squeeze box! 🙂 How cool is that? One of my very favorite bestest of friends, years ago, taught accordion, and many of her students went on to play professionally, or become professional organists. l love the accordion. And right then in your video, you turn wacko and funny. LOL! After a storm, and with that much flow/current on the river, there would likely be lots of crap in the water that might impede your progress, or cause problems with the boat, the water intake for the engine, problems with the prop and the weed hatch, etc. Good for you for staying put another day or so until things really do calm down and clear up ... down and up. 🙂 Hmm, bucket list ... guess I better make a bucket list. At 76 years of age, I'm perfectly healthy, and enjoying my pickup truck and 21-foot travel trailer, after years and years of boating earlier in life. But ... hmmm, what else might I want to do? Hmmmm. Here's to that beautiful, grand Lister!
just realised I was commenting on another channel so she got your comment and you got hers lol..in any case, keep up the good work with the brilliant vids👍
Bucket List #1 New Zealand (Middle Earth). #2 Hire a narrowboat and cruise the canals! Love the accordion playing, silly hat and all 😆! Don't blame you for staying put when it's scary windy or floody. Stay safe and warm and hope to see you in new environs soon. 😊
storm weather makes life worth living. lol. ah, it's so nice to be back on the water. I can feel the mist and wind through the screen. lol, lol, lol. lol, I even turn the heat up so I could miss the cold aspect of our travels today. 🤣😂🤣😁 said like a true captain. "go a little mad": funny even the duck is looking at the river like, yeah, not today.
Lol, loved this one, Heidi! Cabin fever, going mad? You? Don’t be rude! Great to see Bonny has now settled into the boating life, she is so relaxed, even in a storm! Have a great week!❤🐕🏳️🌈📯🥃☕️💎
Hi Heidi, you asked viewers for their BUCKET LIST before they leave this mortal coil, well my bucket list is going to be forfilled this December, I’m coming all the way from Western Australia to go to Lapland Finland where the Arctic Circle passes through a beautiful place called Rovaniemi and it just happens to be where Father Christmas leaves from 😀 unfortunately my husband can’t travel due to health problems so he’s given me his blessings to have this last trip adventure, not bad for a 76year young lady, do you think.
I can sympathise with you Heidi, we were in our motorhome on the north Cornwall coast during that storm and we had 60 mph winds for 24 hours 😲. I didn't end go to bed that night, it felt a little better to sit up with the lights on rather than lie down in the dark. I finally went to bed at 7.00am and slept until 11.30am. We then had 40+mph winds for 2 days, and again the following week.
Well done Heidi you take care of your self look forward to all your blogs,,, I used to have a saying, It's colder than a penguins chuf, watching your blog reminded me of it 👍😂
I feel so guilty sitting here in my nice warm bedroom while thoroughly enjoying your video….soooooo…sending you and Bonnie a nice warm hug from Georgia, USA. I absolutely love it when you play your accordion….your original music reminds me of a time worlds ago when life was so much simpler. Peace and love.
Heidi I love your ramblings! I wouldn't miss your vlog and you always cheer me up. You're so cheery and positive even when things are not perfect on your journey. Bonny too just takes everything in her stride. You are both good for each other. Take care and stay safe until we see you again. 😊
Very well done Vlog this week. I did enjoy your accordion recital😊 Bonnie has been doing so good she's a peach! Best of luck and safe boating! oh I Forgot.. bucket list is a narrow boat holiday in Great Britain.🐶🦜🥃🏴☠
Hi hide another stunning video from you. The weather has been atrocious over the past few months.. unfortunately this is becoming the norm these days. I'm so glad to see that you are safe and well.. I see that your little dog bonny is enjoying her time on the canals. All I can say is that the weather will improve in the coming months.. hopefully. I can remember 1963 when the snow covered my boat I had to dig myself out of it. The canal was frozen solid.. It lasted for weeks .. people were becoming desperate for water and fuel.. When it finally started to thaw it was replaced with week upon week of heavy rain. The river weaver is always a dangerous place for narrow boats especially when you have a rising tide going against a flooding river current.. It can turn you around in the blink of an eye.if you are not don't have your wits about you. Anyway hide keep your self safe and well.
Heidi. I missed your last of your videos. I'll have to get caught up. I went to my friends funeral last week. He got a good send off. It's so good to see you braving the weather. I'd have been singing. Rum rum wonderful rum. There's nothing quite like it to warm up my tum. When it's raining and hailing I ain't complaining. So long as I'm topped up with boatloads of rum. 😂
Love watching your videos! Buying a narrowboat and living on the cut is my No1 bucket list thing!! Working towards it and just needs the child to finish education etc and🤞🤞🤞 also some countries I really want to visit like India and Japan. One day hopefully
Nice one Heidi . Jenny and I have followed you on and off for a few years. Thanks for the laughs. I rarely comment. We have boat cruised the Thames in the past. Australia 🇦🇺
Sounds completely miserable, being that cold. We experience that when skiing here in Colorado storms and all…just no risk of capsizing/sinking! Nothing like warm jammies and a hot drink. My bucket list would be to see the Kelpies by NB. Great vlog.
There's a heavy flow joke you missed there 😁. Bonny has definitely improved, she used to bark her head off at the bigger dogs as well. Not kicking the bucket is the only thing on my list at the moment 😂. Thanks Heidi
I can see the white horses, skudding along. As long as you and Bonny stay safe, oh, how about one of those see through umbrellas, she could sit under it, no, probably too blowy, just take care.
I got quite emotional watching you go for it on the ship canal with the waves billowing from the front. I know you were wet and cold but I thoroughly enjoyed it 🦆💕
Well after all that time stuck there I’d have cabin fever so badly I’d be able to play the squeeze box too. Darling little Bonny was just holding back with those big dogs protecting you, she was making sure those big scary dogs didn’t sneak up and hurt you. OMG she is so beautiful. Hope you can get going in the next few day, just whatever be careful. Take care and see you both soon. 💕
I know winds on a river or a canal can be a bit of a bugger when trying to move a boat. But I do smile when people talk about strong winds. I live on top of a hill and three miles in land down in Wales. Average wind speed is 40- 44 mph and in last weeks storm winds gusted 65 + mph. A comment was made to a neighbour about the wind " getting up a bit" . But as I said. It is all relative.... a 14 ton boat in anything over 30mph will wobble. My house with three foot thick walls will not ( or at least I hope it won't 😂) Now my bucket list 1 An extended trip to India. 2 A trip in a motor home around the uk 3 buy another boat and cruise the network for two or three years 1 won't happen 2 will happen 3 I hope it will But if I do these three things and it takes me 6 years that means I will be 70 with bugger all to dream about 😂😂😂 Don't do all the things on your list keep some to aim for Stay safe, drink rum & be happy.
I enjoy losing myself in this channel. Heidi, you are a gem. It should be recommended to watch with a beverage (wink). Pubs look great too, wish I was near one.
Good morning young lady. "Wetter than a mermaids foof!" Brilliant. 😂😂 Any road up, on my bucket list is writing and publishing your life story. I know you're only young but I bet you have a fascinating tale to tell. 😉😉 Have a lovely weekend. Tara for now.
I've discovered a programme on Channel 4 called Narrow Escapes, about canal boats. There's a new boat owner, Carrie, who scares me! Monday to Friday 4pm to 5pm. 🤣🤣
Great video Heidi it did look very cold and windy, hope you have Warmed up. You did make me laugh when you were playing to The accordion.😅 Have a lovely weekend.Let's hope it's going to warm up a bit 😊
Great video Hiedi, and an important one as it shows that it's not always plain sailing on the boat. And im sure its not watching your videos its bloody hard work some days ,but mother nature is boss, stay safe Nick 🏴x
Bucket list? We've just retired and are going to tick one off our list next week- we've booked to go to a farm in the New Forest, help fire up a traction engine, then drive it (complete with trailer) to a pub for lunch, then back and help put her to bed for the night 😀 We've been on the Falkirk Wheel and visited the Kelpies- Anderton Boat lift of course onto the Weaver (and the Pontcysyllte aqueduct many times and the Harecastle Tunnel 50 plus years ago and since ), but envy your ship canal- maybe when we have a bit more time! Would love to go across the Wash and up the Thames as well.. need a boat we fully own first (bucket list again) Thanks for another great video
We love your mental rambling Heidi Haha cabin fever! Fantastic as always you are such a free spirit! you take care out there! Living the dream cheers James and Shelly the Cornish crew!
Aww bless you, you really did get cabin fever, it worrying enough on the canals in a storm, with the boat banging against the mooring, but on the rivers you have to worry about level too and making sure the ropes are loose enough to allow the boat to raise, totally understand why you didn't want to leave her. Hopefully things have settled down now and you are on the move again. take care.
I'm looking forward to this trip. My trip over the link was a bit scary when the other narrowboat broke down, and I had to tow him against the outgoing tide Mrs. I did crap myself. It's so easy for a nice cruise to turn into a nightmare. That weaver is a lovely river. The weather has been total shit until now. See you soon Mrs. ❤
If I remember correctly from the foxes, The DA boat that you mentioned has steam powdered power steering. So be sure to check that out when you get close enough to her. 😃😃
Bucket list item would have to be going to the UK, spending some time on a narrowboat, having a good explore and definitely doing a bit of mud larking if possible. Thanks for the video, that river flow was really fast. I’m glad that you were near family during this time. Take care and I’ll see you next time. Hugs to you and Bonny and my best to your Mum and Dad. xöx 🙂🐿🌈❤️ P.s I’m using “the force” to hopefully bring on that Springtime weather for you.
Looks a bit rough over there! Nice to see your bellows out in this video! Always enjoy your great vlogs, Heidi. Stay safe. Fred, Ralph the lurcher and Kevin the cat in Spain.
Woo hoo you did it again Heidi you did a great job.! I feel like I’m with you and I have tears in my eyes again. It’s been one of those mornings for me as well (not on the water in a car) wish I was maybe not that weather 😅 And I am all warm and cozy now with my heater and my two puppies watching Heidi, the Rum Wench…So my bucket list is… jumping out of an airplane, so by the time I’m 70 I’m gonna do it! I also wanna ago up in a hot air balloon. I would like to spend at least a week on an airboat maybe find some of my ancestors since I am almost 50% British.
Hey Heidi. We are hooked on yours and little Bonnie’s canal adventures on TH-cam. Our border collie Lucy loves watching you both. So a big hi to you both from Wendy & Dick Thomas in Nelson New Zealand👏🏻❤️
Another great video, thank you. You are very patient but nice to see Bonnie not to stressed about it all. What a bugger Cathleen was!! Hope your trapped nibble recovers 🤣🤣 look forward to your next vlog. Top of my bucket list is to drive from Chester to Kefalonia (using the odd boat of course) 🥃
Loved this vid Heidi, great to see a weather forced change to the routine! I will soon be on the canals and rivers so using your videos as instruction…. !!!!!!! Bucket list: winning lottery ticket or two!

Hi Heidi, you asked viewers for their BUCKET LIST before they leave this mortal coil, well my bucket list is going to be forfilled this December, I’m coming all the way from Western Australia to go to Lapland Finland where the Arctic Circle passes through a beautiful place called Rovaniemi and it just happens to be where Father Christmas leaves from 😀 unfortunately my husband can’t travel due to health problems so he’s given me his blessings to have this last trip adventure, not bad for a 76year young lady, do you think.

😂😂 I may have to steal that one 😂😂
That storm looked awful. So much rain all winter and spring, roll on summer and let’s hope it’s a good one.X
Bonny is adorable and has taken to life on a boat really well, one thing on my bucket list left to do travel behind a steam train
That sounds great 😃🏴☠️

I see that your little dog bonny is enjoying her time on the canals.
All I can say is that the weather will improve in the coming months.. hopefully.
I can remember 1963 when the snow covered my boat I had to dig myself out of it. The canal was frozen solid..
It lasted for weeks .. people were becoming desperate for water and fuel..
When it finally started to thaw it was replaced with week upon week of heavy rain.
The river weaver is always a dangerous place for narrow boats especially when you have a rising tide going against a flooding river current..
It can turn you around in the blink of an eye.if you are not don't have your wits about you.
Anyway hide keep your self safe and well.
Heidi. I missed your last of your videos. I'll have to get caught up.
I went to my friends funeral last week. He got a good send off.
It's so good to see you braving the weather.
I'd have been singing.
Rum rum wonderful rum.
There's nothing quite like it to warm up my tum.
When it's raining and hailing
I ain't complaining.
So long as I'm topped up with boatloads of rum. 😂
That’s fab, save it incase I bring back the back cabin poems 😂😂
Love watching your videos! Buying a narrowboat and living on the cut is my No1 bucket list thing!! Working towards it and just needs the child to finish education etc and🤞🤞🤞 also some countries I really want to visit like India and Japan. One day hopefully
Wow amazing 😃🏴☠️
Hey Heidi! Great week, albeit a bit rainy. Bucket list!
Omg I can’t say on the net. 😮. Don’t be rude! 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Nice one Heidi . Jenny and I have followed you on and off for a few years. Thanks for the laughs.
I rarely comment. We have boat cruised the Thames in the past. Australia 🇦🇺
Wonderful 😃🏴☠️
you are absolutely hilarious, no wonder I like watching your videos.🤣
Aww thanks so much 😃🏴☠️❤️
I remember those days so well!
😂😂
Sounds completely miserable, being that cold. We experience that when skiing here in Colorado storms and all…just no risk of capsizing/sinking! Nothing like warm jammies and a hot drink. My bucket list would be to see the Kelpies by NB. Great vlog.
There's a heavy flow joke you missed there 😁. Bonny has definitely improved, she used to bark her head off at the bigger dogs as well. Not kicking the bucket is the only thing on my list at the moment 😂. Thanks Heidi
😂😂 she is improving all the time
Great video showing the downside of boating. The only thing missing was a accordian section was a cameo on singing in the rain.
😂🎵
Nice bit of accordion. I play the hurdy-gurdy. Love the Weaver.
I can see the white horses, skudding along. As long as you and Bonny stay safe, oh, how about one of those see through umbrellas, she could sit under it, no, probably too blowy, just take care.
We would take off 😂😂
🤣🤣😂 Your "just going mad" is *g r e a t* ! 💘 hahahahahah *thx*
😂😂
Bucket list... I'm doing it. Getting my boat rebuilt to go cruising
Fabulous 😃🏴☠️
Rain or shine, love watching you & Bonn‼️‼️😊
Thanks so much 😃🏴☠️❤️🐶
I got quite emotional watching you go for it on the ship canal with the waves billowing from the front. I know you were wet and cold but I thoroughly enjoyed it 🦆💕
Haha, thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
Well after all that time stuck there I’d have cabin fever so badly I’d be able to play the squeeze box too. Darling little Bonny was just holding back with those big dogs protecting you, she was making sure those big scary dogs didn’t sneak up and hurt you. OMG she is so beautiful. Hope you can get going in the next few day, just whatever be careful. Take care and see you both soon. 💕
She is so wonderful 😃🏴☠️❤️ I’m back on the move again now, thankfully 🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate I envy you Heidi.
Great video flower can't believe you've had bonny a year already take care xx😊
Not yet but almost 😂
Scary but brilliant! Heidi the hardy adventurer. Excellent vlog …..as usual.
Thank you!!
Keep dancing in the rain H 👍.
Very inspiring video....by gum you’re a rum lass! ❤ thank you for all that you do!
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Fantastic entertainment young lady pirate and little second in command Bonny.
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
I know winds on a river or a canal can be a bit of a bugger when trying to move a boat. But I do smile when people talk about strong winds. I live on top of a hill and three miles in land down in Wales. Average wind speed is 40- 44 mph and in last weeks storm winds gusted 65 + mph. A comment was made to a neighbour about the wind " getting up a bit" .
But as I said. It is all relative.... a 14 ton boat in anything over 30mph will wobble. My house with three foot thick walls will not ( or at least I hope it won't 😂)
Now my bucket list
1 An extended trip to India.
2 A trip in a motor home around the uk
3 buy another boat and cruise the network for two or three years
1 won't happen
2 will happen
3 I hope it will
But if I do these three things and it takes me 6 years that means I will be 70 with bugger all to dream about 😂😂😂 Don't do all the things on your list keep some to aim for
Stay safe, drink rum & be happy.
Welcome to the narrowboat drag races! So happy that Bonnie is doing better around other dogs.
loved the music through the lock I expected JONNY DEPP TO POP UP LOVED THE VIDEO WE WERE STUCK IN OUR MARINA ON THE N OXFORD DURING THE STORM
Very enjoyable, thank you 😊
Nice one Heidi. Really enjoyed such a lovely. Lovely lady, PS.You must have been very young when you started on the canals babe 😘 love you 😍 xxx
I enjoy losing myself in this channel. Heidi, you are a gem. It should be recommended to watch with a beverage (wink). Pubs look great too, wish I was near one.
Thank you 🏴☠️😃❤️
Good morning young lady. "Wetter than a mermaids foof!" Brilliant. 😂😂 Any road up, on my bucket list is writing and publishing your life story. I know you're only young but I bet you have a fascinating tale to tell. 😉😉 Have a lovely weekend. Tara for now.
Please do! 😂😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate I would, if I knew anything about you. 🤣🤣
I've discovered a programme on Channel 4 called Narrow Escapes, about canal boats. There's a new boat owner, Carrie, who scares me! Monday to Friday 4pm to 5pm. 🤣🤣
Love watching you and your Frenchy watch a lot of no videos but yours is the best your so open and honest very rare keep safe
Aww thanks so much 😃🏴☠️❤️
Great video Heidi it did look very cold and windy, hope you have Warmed up. You did make me laugh when you were playing to The accordion.😅 Have a lovely weekend.Let's hope it's going to warm up a bit 😊
Let’s hope 😃
Great video Hiedi, and an important one as it shows that it's not always plain sailing on the boat. And im sure its not watching your videos its bloody hard work some days ,but mother nature is boss, stay safe Nick 🏴x
Cheers Nick 😃🏴☠️
Bucket list? We've just retired and are going to tick one off our list next week- we've booked to go to a farm in the New Forest, help fire up a traction engine, then drive it (complete with trailer) to a pub for lunch, then back and help put her to bed for the night 😀
We've been on the Falkirk Wheel and visited the Kelpies- Anderton Boat lift of course onto the Weaver (and the Pontcysyllte aqueduct many times and the Harecastle Tunnel 50 plus years ago and since ), but envy your ship canal- maybe when we have a bit more time! Would love to go across the Wash and up the Thames as well.. need a boat we fully own first (bucket list again)
Thanks for another great video
Wow, wonderful ❤️🏴☠️
Heidi it was so lovely to bump into you & Bonnie today in Northwich town centre, my partner was well & truly gutted he never got to say hi 😊xx
Awww it was so lovely to meet you too 😃🏴☠️❤️
We love your mental rambling Heidi Haha cabin fever!
Fantastic as always you are such a free spirit! you take care out there! Living the dream cheers James and Shelly the Cornish crew!
Cheers 😃🏴☠️
Aww bless you, you really did get cabin fever, it worrying enough on the canals in a storm, with the boat banging against the mooring, but on the rivers you have to worry about level too and making sure the ropes are loose enough to allow the boat to raise, totally understand why you didn't want to leave her. Hopefully things have settled down now and you are on the move again. take care.
Thank you… I was back on the move in no time, thankfully 😃❤️🏴☠️
I'm looking forward to this trip. My trip over the link was a bit scary when the other narrowboat broke down, and I had to tow him against the outgoing tide Mrs. I did crap myself. It's so easy for a nice cruise to turn into a nightmare. That weaver is a lovely river. The weather has been total shit until now. See you soon Mrs. ❤
Oooh I’ll watch it later 😃🏴☠️❤️ I’m hoping to do it later this year 😃😃
If I remember correctly from the foxes, The DA boat that you mentioned has steam powdered power steering. So be sure to check that out when you get close enough to her. 😃😃
Oh really, I can’t wait to see it if I’m still around 😃🏴☠️
Well done, Heidi and Bonny! You earned a massive coffee and rum - hold the coffee! 😂
Cheers 😂🏴☠️
Bucket list item would have to be going to the UK, spending some time on a narrowboat, having a good explore and definitely doing a bit of mud larking if possible.
Thanks for the video, that river flow was really fast. I’m glad that you were near family during this time.
Take care and I’ll see you next time. Hugs to you and Bonny and my best to your Mum and Dad. xöx
🙂🐿🌈❤️
P.s I’m using “the force” to hopefully bring on that Springtime weather for you.
Please use a bit more force 😂😂 ive for fire lit 😂 thanks again for your lovely comment Eve 😂🌈🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate
You’re very welcome 😉
HURRY UP SPRING 🌼 you’re running VERY late Eeeeeeeeeeeek
Thank you Heidi and Bonny. I hope the weather improves soon. I don’t have a bucket list. Cheers!
Cheers
Looks a bit rough over there! Nice to see your bellows out in this video! Always enjoy your great vlogs, Heidi. Stay safe. Fred, Ralph the lurcher and Kevin the cat in Spain.
Thank you! You too!
Woo hoo you did it again Heidi you did a great job.! I feel like I’m with you and I have tears in my eyes again. It’s been one of those mornings for me as well (not on the water in a car) wish I was maybe not that weather 😅 And I am all warm and cozy now with my heater and my two puppies watching Heidi, the Rum Wench…So my bucket list is… jumping out of an airplane, so by the time I’m 70 I’m gonna do it! I also wanna ago up in a hot air balloon. I would like to spend at least a week on an airboat maybe find some of my ancestors since I am almost 50% British.
Oh wow, very exhilarating adventures ahead for you then 🤩 wonderful ❤️
Hey Heidi. We are hooked on yours and little Bonnie’s canal adventures on TH-cam. Our border collie Lucy loves watching you both.
So a big hi to you both from Wendy & Dick Thomas in Nelson New Zealand👏🏻❤️
Aww thank you 🏴☠️😃❤️
Another great video, thank you. You are very patient but nice to see Bonnie not to stressed about it all. What a bugger Cathleen was!! Hope your trapped nibble recovers 🤣🤣 look forward to your next vlog.
Top of my bucket list is to drive from Chester to Kefalonia (using the odd boat of course) 🥃
That trip sounds wonderful, kefelonia is very beautiful and at least it will be warm 😂😂
Loved this vid Heidi, great to see a weather forced change to the routine! I will soon be on the canals and rivers so using your videos as instruction…. !!!!!!!
Bucket list: winning lottery ticket or two!
Good luck ❤️
That was good I like your videos
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
