- Last weekend we had the pleasure of experiencing the iconic Braunston Historic Narrowboat Rally from onboard one of the most special boats, Raymond. Raymond is the last wooden working narrow boat but she's also part of Andrew's family history, so this was a really special experience. Really hope you enjoy this video!
Thanks so much to the Friends of Raymond for having us, it was such a lovely day.

We really hope you enjoy this snapshot of the sights and sounds of the Braunston Historic Boat Rally 2023, we shot all the footage on Saturday the 24th and Kristina has worked really hard to edit it together in less than 48 hours.
A huge thank you to the efforts of everyone involved in The Friends of Raymond who are keeping a huge part of my family’s history alive.
I honestly don’t know what my dad and grandad would have made of the internet, TH-cam etc, but I do know the fact that the canals are thriving and their memory still lives on would have meant the world.
It was absolutely stunning! Cinematic and very interesting. Thanks so much. I felt the sense of community through my screen. I enjoy your content so so so much, because it stirs something within me. x
I wonder what your Dad and Grandad would have made of 'The Grabber'... ☺
@@RJ-444 I know for sure dad would never have left anything behind in the canal. His tool of choice was a modified rake with a wire mesh over it. I like to think of 'The Grabber' as its spiritual successor.
What was the name of your dad & Grandad as I am sitting with George Wain who knew the Kendall’s, he says they lived in Braunston village. Did one of them marry a lady called Annie Harrison?
George Wain and also his Dad George Wain Snr. who married Annie Evans all come off the working boats. I have just shown George your video and he thought it was marvellous.
Lots of love to you both

I had no idea that Andrew’s Dad & Grandad were part of the history of the canals. It was lovely the image towards the end of Andrew & his mum ♥️
We used to own Admiral which was built in 1905, it was originally a FMC steamer. It was an honour to own her for the few years that we did. Your vlog brought back lots of memories and I thought it was absolutely brilliant!! Brought a tear to my eye. Fabulous!!! Just absolutely fabulous!!! Xxx
Oh wow, Admiral was a beauty! Thanks so much, I’m so happy to hear that ❤️❤️❤️
You capture the mood of boat life like no one else on YT does, next time anyone asks me, ‘what is it like?’ I’ll send them here. I really miss Braunston now we’re on the Yorkshire waterways, so I especially loved this and your xmas Braunston vlog.
That’s a huge compliment, thank you very much ❤️
Absolutely blooming marvellous! Brings a tear to the eye, all those beautiful boats and people. Really lovely vlog was this, thank you 😊
On various occasions…
This canal ain’t wide enough for the four of us!
My thoughts exactly! I was amazed they could get through at times
Another great video Kris - lovely scenes of ordinary people enjoying simple pleasures - highlights? The man with a tin of Brasso the size of an artillery shell, the dog that could not decide if it wanted to be on the boat or off and changed its mind countless times plus - very near the end - that chap reading a magazine that looked up for only a second, smiled, nodded and resumed his read... lovely editing! - BUT, the Uber highlight, the piece of soundtrack music that was also used in the Cadbury advert featuring Frank Muir in the 1970's "Everyone's a fruit and nut case" ........ such memories. Well done.
Your comments are the highlight of my day, honestly. You get it!!
As usual a wonderful video and music; colourful, atmospheric and warm-hearted. It was very moving at the end with Andrew and his mum. Reminded me of good times with mine x
Well this was lovely. It’s very nice to see Andrew’s Mom and learn about his family’s history concerning narrowboats. I always wondered about his proficiency on the boat seeing as you just purchased it not that long ago. Thank you for sharing.
I was there on the Saturday and watched you go under the bridge. What a smile. You looked so thrilled to be there. It was a lovely day for everyone and the weather could not have been better. I love the Vlogs and would have loved to have said Hello. Take care.
Ahh thanks so much! Really lovely day. Do say hi next time ❤️
Not often I leave a comment but this vlog deserves one... beautifully filmed and edited. So great to see the working boats of days gone by in all their splendour. Thanks for a great vlog.
Thank you very much, really appreciate the comment 🥰
Another banger! lovely to see all those old boats. there was a lot of freshly painted boats it looked like. one thing I always liked about England...so many people willing to be caretakers and stewards of so many (too many to probably count) aspects and places and things of your history. no where else in the world does it happen like it happens there.
Eagerly waiting for the next video...
That’s exactly it, it’s so amazing to see people spending their hard earned free time preserving this amazing history.
Okay I think I’m officially obsessed with English narrowboat life, the signs, and community, and graphic design, and nature! too bad my partner and I are a) american and b) zero boat experience between us plus c) I think the cat would mutiny 😂
You could definitely do a holiday to dip a toe in first 😉
Thanks for putting this all together. It's fascinating to see all those boats and the characters involved. Oh, that shot of Andrew and his Mum on the bench at the end... I wasn't expecting to be so moved, but I totally was... 🥲
Thanks so much 🥰
Very interesting, entertaining and colourful, this had it all boats, dogs,beer and food,essentials for a great day out.
Exactly!!
Loved watching this ❤ By now my whole family is religiously watching your channel. Also, I blame you and your videos for my obsession with the canals and narrowboats during my most recent trip to London and Oxford.
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰 did you enjoy Oxford? I’ve never been! We’re hoping to go on the boat 👀
@@krisatomic Oxford is lovely, but it can get pretty crowded around noon in the summer. I most enjoyed a walk my sister (she and her family live in Oxford) and I took from Iffley along the Thames and the canals through Port Meadow.
I've watched this three times now, a beautifully made vlog of the Braunston rally! Kris you certainly know how to capture a special event thank you :)
That’s amazing to hear, thank you so much 🥰☺️
“It’s a hive of activity, and brasso “. Wow…that was an understatement! What an incredible tribute you put together. Absolutely stunning, and such a fascinating life Andrew has had. His mom must have had a million memories going through her mind. Thank you so much for sharing.
😊🤗 Kathy
Glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Stunning cinematography ❤ you're an amazing storyteller. Im hooked. We are having our first boat survey next week. Can't wait to start our adventures. Love these historic boats and it was really lovely to see Andrew's family history too. Thank you ❤
Thanks so much! That’s so exciting, hope the survey went well and everything is progressing nicely!! ❤️
This was fascinating to watch, never seen anything like it before 👍
Watched all your videos today, Very well produced and funny. Now subbed, Thanks for a wonderful Sunday afternoon of binge watching.
Ahh, thanks very much 😊
It was so lovely and gentle to watch. Everyone seems so happy to be there.
Most enjoyable..your best production yet ...
It’s our first one with new cameras so very glad to hear that ☺️
Thanks for sharing with us
Thank you for watching :)
I didn't realize Andrew's history with boating. That's brilliant. How chuffed must his mum have been to see it all back up again! I'm fascinated by this lifestyle. I don't think I could give up all my stuff and live on one but these videos are delightful to watch. I am always eagerly anticipating more!
Thank you for sharing that - very well done! Also interesting to learn how the Canals are in olde Andrew's blood - 😊
Wonderful history! BTW, my great-grandfather was an Arthur Bray, as well. Our family immigrated to the US during the potato famine and settled in the Ohio/Kentucky area eventually Missouri, then up to Michigan and down to Arkansas. Bummers about your camera equipment, glasses and phone, sigh. But good about the gut!
Lovely vlog❤. It was as if I got to have a nosey around all the boats. All the beautiful camera angels, colors and personalities caught on film. So fascinating that Andrew’s family has history with the canal past❤️❤️
Thanks so much! 😊
Another great interesting blog!
Thanks again!
you wouldn't want to mess up in front of Andrews mum would you
as if...!
superb, as your deft of eye channel is revealing & after doing a rapid catch-up from your departure in London we learn Andrew is steeped in the history of the boats of narrow - no wonder he believed the water cap could/would be recovered - just fabulous
Thank you for watching 🥰
Loved this video, was so lush to watch ❤
Thank you! ❤️
I've said this before but I absolutely love your vlogs. I appreciate you both have busy full time jobs so the effort you go to to create these each week is amazing. The framing of the shots, the edit the voice over, all so atmospheric and calming. Please don't stop!
old boats, old boat gezzers, young boat geezers and in-between. Lovely...who knew? Thanks from someone in southern arizona who dreams of water and trees! Will watch it again.
Thank you!
Fantastic vlog, you really brought it to life and gave a great impression of what the event must have been like, going to have to go to rally one year.
Thank you, definitely recommend ☺️
💜💙💚
I loved that cut away of the bird standing on the ladder run that is three inches below the water. Top shot!
Love that little guy!
Now we know about Andrew's family connection to the canals and your skills with the vlog it's little wonder yours is becoming one of our favourite vlogs. Your coverage of the Braunston boat rally was just lovely.
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you both so much for this truly wonderful video, we hired our 1st boat a few weeks ago at Branston , I really loved the sense of the boating community on this vid , I shared the vid to my lady . thanks again for making us feel like we were there
Thank you very much!
„Glastonbury of the canals“ 😂
I stand by it haha
Fantastic job, thank you for sharing this with us 🤗👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Just magical ♥
The manoeuvring looked scary to me too! They're obviously experienced.
What a fantastic little film. Makes me wish we had attended. Still there’s always next year.
Definitely recommend!
Oh wow what an amazing video! Lovely to see Nutfield and Raymond like this, you really captured them well. Thank you this video really supports the charity too 😊
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Thank you so much. You have no idea how much i need this.
You're so welcome! ☺️
Thank you so much for such a lovely video, I enjoyed it so much , you do it in such a natural way 👍👍👍👍👍👍💓

I love seeing all the different liveries and thanks for including a clip of NB Whitby ,l used to watch the Thteefellows boats whilst fishing (Thurmaston Leicester)
Fabulous collage of narrowboat life and sounds. Congrats
Thank you! ❤️
What a lovely vlog very warm and heart felt ❤️
Brilliant clips of the old boats ❤
Thank you! 🥰
Brilliant as always, Thanks for sharing. By the way one gentleman with the leica camera looked like David Suchet? Thanks again, see you in a bit. Cheers
It is indeed!
It was him ... he's mad about narrowboats !!
Excellent.
great story and great pictures!
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
4:28 was that david suchet?
It is!
Why would anyone go to Glastonbury when this is available?
