  • We have a lot to talk about today, after a busy few days. We had a bbq, saw an epic thunderstorm, witness the cygnets hatching, had a dog on the bow, saw a snake, saved a loose boat and dad falls in the canal along with our shopping. Today we cruise to Cropredy, passing through a number of locks which takes quite a while as we get stuck behind first time boaters, which we help through...

    Hi. It's a grass snake. They have a lot of yellow round the neck. There's another variety that's green. Adders are very shorter and very shy. Quite a few near to my location in Lincolnshire. The venom is not dangerous to healthy adults. Regards Dave.

    • @darkmatterxi
      @darkmatterxi 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes Andy Informed us later that it is a grass snake. It was just lovely to see it just laying there. The last one we saw just slithered across the path in front of us.

I told Andy to swim and get the shopping until luckily the hire boat came by with 2 lovely people that helped us out. See you soon hopefully xx

    When helping the boat needed the song Liza Jane in the background playing. Poor Andy I guess it’s a club most join at some point. That was a large snake to me. Our garden snakes a bright green. You are braver than me to get that close to it. If space wasn’t such an issue it would be nice to have a weed eater on board for the tow path for each move. Your drone shots are so beautiful. England has the most beautiful country side in the world to me.loved flying into the country from South Hampton up to London looking down at it. Susan

    That was funny when Andy and the shopping went in the canal. What flavour was the ice cream. It probably wasn't funny at the time, but you guys will laugh about in years to come. I hide when thunder storms come, don't like them. That was kind of you to remoor the boat that came unpinned.
