- 70. Thinking Of Retiring & Some Very Sad News! NARROWBOAT Cruise From Fenny Compton To Cropredy! On a stunning part of the Oxford Canal!
The link to buy me a coffee www.buymeacoff...
We get some wonderful weather for a change, and it shows off the Oxford Canal in all it's beauty. Which made me feel very privileged to live out here.
A special thanks to the lovely couple that I met, they showed me what northern hospitality was all about (Andy & Lesley) who helped take my mind off of the bad news that I received (for a while) And the least I can do is give their Narrowboat channel a plug on here! @takingtheplunge give them a watch. Such lovely people!

I'd also like to thank the people that bought me a coffee on the last vlog (such kind people) here's the link to buy me a coffee www.buymeacoffee.com/vinparker3M you could also for the price of one coffee a month become a member on the app. As for the members, I try to make two extra behind the scenes vlogs a month. Hope you all enjoyed the vlog, have a lovely evening Vince & Ashby!
Hi Vince,
It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and spend time with you, thank you for the mention as well. This is a cracking vlog and you've really captured the essence of this stunning stretch of canal. Thank you for moving 'Aitch' forward as well so we could moor up and wait for the lock gate to be fixed, you're an absolute gent. Take care pal, stay strong, and hopefully we'll meet up with you and Ashby again at some point on our journeys.
Andy & Lesley
Hi Andy & Lesley! The little mention was the least I could do! Thanks for taking my mind off of things, and tell Lesley that the cake she made was the best I've eaten for ages. Hope to bump into you again sometime. All the best Vince!
Sorry to hear about your mum, I lost my mum when I was 23 . That was 52 years ago, the bottom fell out of my dads and my world. Mum is always with me though and so will your mum be with you. Phil.
I think she will be Phil.
@@NarrowboatCruisingLifestyledeepest condolences to you on your great loss of your mum
@@vibrationsofhealinglove Thank you!
That was a very lovely video Dad, very pretty countryside and village. I can’t believe the price of those private moorings that we see, what a strange rule they can’t even eat their own fruit they grow 😂 how does that make sense? Would be lovely to have a one though. Panny Nat will be missed very much, she was one of the strongest and happiest ladies I knew, which I will always admire ❤️ I will miss seeing her little comments on here. She loved watching your vlogs. Love you dad xxxxx
Thanks Clare! They are quite expensive, with some silly rules. And thats nice what you said about Panny Nat. Love you dad xxxx
So sorry sir to hear of the passing of your mother. It was wonderful seeing her spend time with you on your narrowboat. You are a fine man and keep plugging forward. Your videos have been a joy and comfort for me. Thank you so much for all the time you have devoted to making these awesome videos. Kenny C Oregon USA
Thanks for the nice words Kenny!
My sincere condolences to you and your family for sad loss of your mum. You take care.
Thank you!
So sorry to hear your Mother passed on in this video. I hope you're doing well. Enjoy your videos.
Thanks Michele, All the best Vince!
Such sad news about Aunt Pat, I really appreciate you messaging me right after it happened. Such a special lady. You and Debbie and always in my thoughts. That looks like a great spot to retire, some extra land, growing veggies and more but expensive. Proud to have popular Ashby as my doggie cousin. As always I love seeing around the small villages you get to.
Very sad Linda! Thanks for thinking about us. Yes that place would have kept me busy growing stuff! Cropredy was a nice place. All the best from me and cousin Ashby haha!
So sorry to hear about your lovely Mum....hold the special moments you made together on your boat close to your heart and I am sure she will be always on the water with you. Xxx
Such a lovely comment Lynette x
What a beautiful stretch of cut.! Thanks again for sharing. The Oxford suits you, as did the Stort. Very sad news Vince. My thoughts are with you and your family. All the best, Bill.
The Oxford has surprised me, I like it around here Bill.
Lovely vlog and so very sorry to hear you lost your mum.
Thanks Tessa!
It's so sad when we lose our families I lost all mine it's just me and my pets I love dearly life has to go on and i count my blessings every day and i live a humble life. Hugs sent your way.
Always count your blessings and stay positive Pamela. Hugs sent back to you!
Oh that was sad news at the end. It looked like your mum enjoyed your narrowboat - some good memories there. Lovely video
Yes. Mum did enjoy it out here. I'm glad she got to see it.
Condolences
Thanks Pat!
Our mothers are always so very special to us. May your memories always be good.
Yes that's very true Brian, and they will be!

My heart condolences on your loss Vince. I lost my Mum in August of this year too, she was 89 and no matter how old they, or we, are it still jars. As always thanks for the vlog, you really do make it feel like we are there with you. My favourite channel on TH-cam. As always my best wishes from parts Czech.
Thanks for the lovely comment Stephen. Much appreciated Vince!
Another great vlog Vince . Sorry to hear of your Mum's passing , i remember her in a few of your vlogs , sad to hear .
Thanks for that!
First: Many condolences on your loss. May her memory always be a blessing.
Second: Cropredy is, in fact, a lovely village. They very much are supported by the fact that Fairport Convention have been holding their annual festival there for years, and every year 20,000 very friendly folk-rock fans decend on them for 3-4 days in August and spend their money.
The Brasenose in particular used to be the band's local, and holds its own 'Fairport Fringe Festival'. :)
It's much less sleepy for that weekend!
I missed that festival by a couple of weeks! Which was a shame!
Thanks for posting. Sorry to hear the sad news of your mum's passing. My condolences to you.
Thank you Ruth!
For £100K, I’d expect the land to have a house on it!
Sorry for your loss Vince. We’ll all miss your Mum’s appearances and comments.
Yes the price was a bit steep Timothy! And thanks for the nice words!
I'm so sorry to hear the sad news about your mum. I hope that the beautiful canal and countryside can help you to cope with your loss. Best wishes.
Thanks Derek! Lets hope so!
Sorry for your loss Vince, you only have one mum. Great to have you and Ashby back. Forwards and upwards!!
Cheers Bill. Never forget but always look forwards!
So sorry to hear that you lost your mom. You've been awfully lucky to have had her near/with you all these years. I lost my father when I was 11 and my mother at 19. She's gone, but you have lots of years of memories. Take care.
That must have been hard on you Sandi. As you say I'll always have my memories! All the best!
Thank you.@@NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle
A lovely vlog Vince. The Oxford Canal looks very nice. Beautiful surroundings.
I miss your mum, my sister, as well. She was a special person. She will always be in my heart, too.
Keep safe. Love you, Aunt Babs XXX
Thank you. Yes she will be missed by many. But not forgotten love Vince xxx
So sorry to hear about your mum but you have some nice memories with her on "Aitch"
Thanks brynboy, She will always be in my heart!
Sorry for your loss. I am glad you have Ashby for comfort
Thank you Tim!
Oh Vince, I’m so so sorry ❤
Thanks Heidi x
Since the River Stort it’s always a pleasure to see your vlogs Vince.
My deepest sympathies on your mum’s death.
Robbie
Cheers Robbie! You've been watching for a while mate!
Lovely episode Vince, but I am so very sorry for your loss. Never easy to lose a parent, whatever your age. Take care.
Thanks Glynnis! No it's never easy!
So sorry for your loss loss xxx

Awww so sorry to hear your sad loss.....my deepest condolences Vince....she will always be in your heart matie ❤.
Lovely vlog ......xxxxx
Thanks Lorraine Yes she will xxx
Very sorry to hear of your loss vince - Best wishes, Bob.
Cheers Bob!
So sorry to hear about your mum. Incredibly,I noticed that you passed NB Alice Mary at around 19 mins 54 secs into the video. That was my late mum's name.
That was a bit of a coincidence Tom!
It certainly was, especially given that I didn't know what sad news you were going to announce at that time.
nice to see another installment Vince, made my day!
look forward to the next one.
deepest sympathy and condolences for your sad loss... Trucker jay.
Glad you liked it Jay. And thank you!
Thank you Vince another fantastic video.
My pleasure Christopher!
Sorry for your loss and you have my condolences. Nice to see Clair checking up on ya. love the look around of that village! you do a great job of it. Well you an Ashby be safe and enjoy your selfs. Best Wishs . Steve
She's always checking up on me Steve! There are some pretty little villages out here, loads to see!
That was a lovely trip, Vince, thanks for taking us along. Condolences to you and your family for the loss of your Mum, I bet she loved her travels on Aitch. The moorings did look lovely, but if you can't even eat your own apples, then I reckon you'd be best off swerving them when you win the lottery.
Thanks RJ. Lovely place and moorings. But silly rules from the gov. I'd say!
Ahh, just found you. Condolences for your loss.
Thanks Lori.
Beautiful cruise again Vince, love the little walks around village's. Sorry for your loss she seemed lovely. As you say she'll always be with you in heart wherever you are. Take care of yourself and give Ashby a cuddle from me. X
Thanks Kath! She will x
Sad news about your dear Mum, becoming an orphan at our age takes some getting used to but you'll come through it with happy thoughts.
Thanks for the nice comment Brian!
So sorry for your loss mate. . . a lovely Lady. Great cruise and good to see Claire joining you and Ashby. Shame the mooring didn’t work out. . . you have much more cruising to do yet bud. Take care my friend and safe travels.
Thanks Mark! Looks like you're stuck with me for a while yet!
@@NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle you don’t know how glad I am to hear that 😂
Aah Vince. I am very sorry to hear you have lost your mum, it was obvious she was very special to you and you kept her by your side for quite a few adventures. I bet she loved every minute being with you on your travels. A very special friendship.
She really did enjoy the life out here Rikki. Thanks for the nice words!
Safe travels to your old dear fella sorry to hear that let the canals do there healing for you keep at it
Thank you, and I'm sure they will.
Hi Vince,
Great to see you back with us, after your very sad loss.
Reminds us all that life is a countdown counter, and we must live life to the full, which you are now doing.
Hope to meet up one day on our travels.
Floaty AKA Nobby Hall to his mates 🙂
I thought that was you! Clare & Allen got a bit delayed waiting for work on the boat to be finished. They are still working there way down. They are somewhere near Hemel at the moment. Hope to see you out here! look after yourself, and take your time around them locks haha!
Lovely blog and the real life story, very sorry to learn of your loss.
Cheers Mike!
Hello Vince,
Christine and I are pleased to see you back. we do miss Pats comments and humour.
Nice video Vince it brings out the english countryside with the summer in full swing.
I rang up fenny marina a few years ago about mooring for a while, they made a fuss about the boats condition, and was it still being fitted out, if you live on board many of us are always busy doing little jobs! As it turned out our old boat is a little wide to get throuh one of the Napton locks, which needs the chamber re bricking (we have done Oxford many times in previous boats).
Looking forward to 8,000 and upward.😀
All the best C&P
Cheers mate! I thought it was strange to see that marina half empty. I thought it would down to penny pinching, and too expensive! All the best to you both and I'll see you on the next one!
So sorry to hear about your mum thoughts are with you at this sad time..♥️
Thank you!
Deep sadness for your loss mate. I’m sure she had a wonderful life and was so content and happy with her family.
Thanks Paul. And she did have a good life, and made a difference!
Thank you , enjoyed this VLOG very much , I,m in the process of joining you CC,s next year . Condolences
Glad you enjoyed it Tony. See you out here!
So sad when this happens in ilfe but from the vlogs you are a very close family and I feel as though through you we are all part of your family Vin .Hope Aitch had his fenders on his ears when you were talking about retirement!. Allthe best Vin.

Always a difficult time with the loss of a loved one . Phil from Narrow boat Journey’s has just said an increase for continuous cruisers on the license.I can see why you’d like a mooring You are on my favourite canal ,it is very picturesque .
Yes I saw that too Tony! So far its been lovely on the Oxford! Long may it continue.
Sorry to hear you lost your mum Vince. Lovely vlog as usual.
Thank you Jeff!
Aww, bless you, sorry to hear your very sad news . ❤️

So very good i would love to visit northern England, London too
love the vlog... just one problem the volume of sound is verry low and i hace to hace up full volume to be able to hear......
Thanks Stephen, I will take that on board!
Im sorry to hear about your recent news, but exploring village to village must see some interesting and wonderful things , How much do they charge you to dispose your rubbish.
There are some lovely places on these canals. The licence is a bit like a council tax. And that covers it! Most of the time.
Sorry to hear about mum Vince, the world seems to be a different place when they go 😢
Love your channel mate, would like to know what you’re career was?
Thanks
Gary
It does Gary! Thank you. I am an Electrician. All the best Vince!
truly sorry about your mother old boy
Thank you!
Beautiful vlog Vince
Thanks Paula!
I love the lock cottage!
Yes, it was beautiful Joann!
Beautiful vlog Vince. The scenery was stunning throughout and I can see why you would want one of those permanent moorings. The price tag was a bit steep and I wouldn’t want anyone dictating what I could grow but not eat, sounds ridiculous 😂 hope you’re holding up ok mate, all the best and thanks for the vlog
Cheers Paul. Yes some of them dictats were a bit ridiculous. But thats about par for the course nowadays! All the best Vince!
It's not much better living in bricks and mortar mate
Everything is going up fuel .electric .food .and h
ousing rates some councils don't empty the bins for weeks ok you can turn on a tap for s
Water but even that is going up in price..I would seriously think twice about giving up narrow boating . so with that being said all the best for the future .
Yes Wayne. things are not going up a few pence here and there. they seem to be doubling and trebling in price! Look after yourself mate!
Does this area flood on occasion?
I have seen some pictures of flooding around here. As the canal runs alongside the River Cherwell.
Hi Vince, thank you for taking us on another journey through the UK's great countryside and explaining the rules of the permanent moorings. My uncle owned a farm in North Wales, he built an extra house because of the large family. The girls married and moved away; my eldest cousin took over the running of the farm. But the other two had employment that took them abroad. The newer house remained empty as it could not be let or sold to anyone not employed on the farm.
I'm so sorry to hear the sad news of your mum passing, may she rest in peace.
Thanks for posting and stay safe out there.
My pleasure! Yes I suppose them moorings were on agricultural land, and were subject to the same rules! See you next time!
❤
Cheers Jock!
I assume the narrow boaters with the mornings who cant consume their own crops but can sell them, are selling them to the other narrow boaters lol
Very good thinking Emma haha!
Not sure about the comment of “not taking anything from the Government”. What about the grant to the CRT to keep the canals functioning ? Or the roads on which lorries deliver food and collect rubbish? And so much more. It’s not really possible to be totally off grid however hard we might try. We are all part of society to some extent
Anyway, sorry to hear of your loss, which is by far the greatest issue here
I've more than paid for all that with the many thousands of pounds of taxes that they have had off me over the years!!!
Xx
Cheers!
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I know what you mean about the government poking their noses in. Im just the same. Neither a lender nor a borrower be.
That's a very apt saying for nowadays!
Be nice if we had some volume instead of relying on Google sub text, After all this time thought you would be perfect
Nobodies perfect, even you haha!
