“My nipples were on the ground “😂😂 So happy you didn’t seriously injure yourself. You continue to be an inspiration to all of us who follow your adventures. You are kind and thoughtful quite an inspiration.
Another great vLog. I love it when towpath walkers offer to help out (especially when a boater is, for whatever reason, less mobile than average). It can be useful to keep a bag of peas in the freezer, just for when an injury requires a bit of cooling. I don't know if you know this trick, but if you want to see how fresh eggs are put them in a bowl of cold water. If they sink to the bottom and lie on their side they are very fresh. If they sink to the bottom but stand on their end they are reasonably fresh. If they float they have gone 'off'. If you get into the Reading area I will have to introduce you to a shopping chain that I look after (my employers look after quite a few shops IT systems), as they have a small choice of alcoholic beverages at (usually) below RRP. I had to walk across the cemetery near me recently, quite late at night. All seemed normal until I heard a weird, ethereal tapping noise. It didn't sound threatening, so I went to investigate. I found an old guy, working on a gravestone with a small hammer and chisel. "Phew", I said, "I thought that noise might have been a ghost. If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing?". "Well", he said, "I got lucky today. Somebody left this hammer and chisel nearby, and I can finally correct the spelling mistakes on my gravestone!". Take care, stay safe, and happy cruising.
Heidi I live just by the swing bridge in netherton, I would be over the moon to see you pass by. I’ll keep an eye out for you on my walks. I live about 3 houses up from the little bridge so if you want a coffee you’d be so welcome in our house. Big hugs 🥰
@@TheNarrowboatPirate I didn’t know there’d been festivals here. There’s a lot of farmers fields so it’s possible. Unless it’s a different Netherton; this one is just outside Sefton village so I think you will defo be passing by (or you might have done so already) on your way to Liverpool city centre. xxx
@estellegrove4853 ahhh ok I thought you mean the netherton near Birmingham … yes I’ve gone through that swing bridge already I’m afraid which is the next video (once I get around to editing it) 😩 I’m always a week behind as I cruise a few days then spent time editing the videos
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Aww we missed you then aww never mind. We will catch you another time. My nephews adore pirates so I’m sure some pocket money would have been spent haha. Anyway safe travels and hugs for Bonny xxx 😘
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Just had some inspiration from somewhere and wrote you this. Bonny needed rescuing and the pirate did her thing. She brought her to her pirate ship to take her under wing. While with the pirate, Bonny learned to navigate the waves, in their search for treasure every ripple she did brave. These two were brought together by the perfect hand of fate so it’s no surprise to learn, that now Bonny is first mate. 🥰🥰
Heidi your an inspiration keep being brave , I am so envious of your lifestyle unfortunately I spend most of my days in bed watching you tubers your all a godsend ♡
Hi Heidi, I’ve used one of these fields too, they’re brilliant aren’t they! You’re doing so well with Bonny, she has a fabulous life with you. Love your videos xx
Great to see Bonny enjoying herself and running free 😊 wow crossing the Mersey hey, looking forward to seeing that. Making the most of you certificate of sea worthiness 😅 fancy not get your fall on camera 😂 hope its feeling better now.thanks for another fab video, stay safe ❤
I ❤ your videos! I also did the canals, but in Germany, the Netherlands and France. You must have been an entertaining teacher! I love your sense of humor and look forward to all your future videos! You have a lovely first mate 🐶(Bonnie), I had 2, and they were my lovely cats! 🐈 🐈⬛️
Sitting here in Houston Texas USA watching you go with that jacket on! It's 97 F outside the door here now and not a breath of wind! I searched everywhere for a CD with your music but no luck?
Nah then, ey up me duck. I do love watching your videos Heidi, your enthusiasm and happy go lucky attitude to life is truly infectious and a tonic to all who watch I'm sure. I'm a landlubber but very keen gongoozler who loves being around canals and walking their towpaths and you're a great advert for narrowboat life and the lovely community around it. One day I shall have that narrowboat. Ay a good'un 🙂
What a good idea the doggy park, Bonnie has a few moments as a proper dog in stead of being able seaman. I like the way dogs have toys to chase. A nice interlude.
Great video, I know i shouldn't have , but i was crying laughing when you were describing your fall 🤣Enjoy Liverpool . I am a Manchester lass, but loved visiting Liverpool & the friendliness of the city . can't wait to see you navigate the Mersey . Bonny is a delight !! x how much fun was she having at Paws of Parbold !! It was brilliant . Take care Heidi x
She is improving but a long way off from being able to let off the lead if ever in places where dogs are about …. Due to her lack of social skills she lunges and barks in the faces of big dogs, knocks them over and they turn on her … she is great when we take the time to meet a friends dog slowly but with strangers she is very rude 🤣🤣
It was nice to see Bonny enjoying the play in the field so much. She’s such a cutie-pie. Crossing the River Mersey will be a challenge. Let’s hope the river is calm. You will do just fine but then where are you going to go? I don’t see a canal on the other side. Take care of your sore ankle. I hope it’s okay. Take care and have a good weekend.
I am from Liverpool originally and I did a music and performing arts degree there, pre LIPA days. I enjoy your comedy and music. Parbold used to be my happy place I would cycle there regularly and Burscough. I can feel the emotions welling up , especially when you talk about Liverpool. Thanks for taking me back to my happy places. 🧚🏻🧚🏼♀️🧚🏻
Hello Heidi and Bonny .... I am so sorry you got hurt. It does bring up a point that people living single really need to keep in mind which is what do you do if you get hurt or sick? Whether you are a van lifer or a narrowboater or live in a house or apartment and you are single you need to have a well thought out emergency plan just in case and some bare minimum emergency supplies readily available. I am glad you are just dented and should heal quickly ... save me a place on the Rum Wench for next week ... I will definitely be there. Love Gramma Lainee
Hi Heidi and Bonnie, late in watching your video, have been looking after my Mom. I enjoyed your video, little Bonnie when you said your free she just looked up at you , wonderful 👍. Take care ❤ X X X 💋's for Bonnie X X X
Just watched this episode Heidi and hope your foot is better, I'm afraid I couldn't help laughing at the footage and felt a bit guilty but you seemed to have taken it all in your stride as usual. Hope you're ok ❤ great watching your channel.
Ahh Heidi nasty fall you had there. Glad it started to feel better. Bonnie loved that field. What a fantastic idea. Have a great week, and see you Thursday 😊
So glad you saved the ditties. I absolutely love them😂🙃Thanks again for sharing your real life with us all. I hope your ankle is healing quickly. Give some love to Bonny for me. Godspeed Heidi
Heidi, that video brought back some memories! Parents had boat moored at Spencer's Bridge (where you helped guy retrieve his glasses) back in 1970's ... spent many long summer days messing about around that bridge in my early teens. Water, boats and travel always been part of my life ... like you, lucky enough to retire early but we're bimbling along by sailboat with similar challenges of finding moorings and tap for fresh water!! Thanks for the channel ... and the memories :-)
Another great vlog Heidi, I think you are amazing! It was nice to see Bonny ‘letting her hair down’ too 🐾 I agree Will is such a wonderful person and I’m sad he couldn’t do the Mersey with you, but I hope he gets to do it one day soon. Is your ankle is ok now? 😊
That was a very funny vlog.....and......you read out my ditty.........I was so excited I nearly spat out my morning brew 😅 I cannot express enough how therapeutic and inspirational your adventures are and one day I'm going to pass you on my own boat and shout out a huge oooorah to you and Bonny❤and thank you in person. (Probably with a bottle of rum)😊
Dear Heidi, I just finished watching Betty's vlog and I think that was VERY kind of you to notify her of the Tik Tok issue. You are a one in a million. Take care and look after that ankle. "Cold for inflammation and heat for circulation". Mark Alberta, Canada
Heidi, I know of others who have been "hacked" as well, Danni and Jo on Narrow boat Lady Penny Bun and May. It's very sad considering how much work goes into making a vlog. Looking forward to next weeks adventure. Still love your little pirate ship on the map thing. Mark Alberta, Canada@@TheNarrowboatPirate
Hi Heidi you are so brave taking on the Mersey by yourself, I’m impressed! Bonnie really loved having an area to run and play. Did the trip to the pub help your poor ankle. Look after yourself Linda
Have just binge watched every video over the last few weeks. Absolutely love your videos. Our dream is to buy a boat and live aboard and enjoy retirement in the not too distant future. You are such an inspiration. Lots of love and good wishes. We look forward to your weekly updates. Best wishes. Rob, Julie and our little dog “Pickle the Pom” xx
It is so ironic that i just returned home from a visit to a wee dog park tucked away here in Dundas Ontario! I helped a dear friend adopt a terrier mix called Bella,and she runs around just like your sweet Boonie...so fun playing chase and fetch. So sorry to hear about your injury. That wind looked fierce and i bet it is scary at times. All in all,an adventuous day! Stay safe
I couldn't wait to watch Heidi and Bonny and was having my usual giggles and loving watching Heidi and her adventures and then yikes, a falling disaster. Thankfully the ankle etc is ok, I was a bit worried !! (It's a good job it wasn't on video), say no more ! Can't wait for next one ❤
What a bloody day Heidi, as you said an accident day. Hope your ankle gets better quickly, that could be very inconvenient being on a narrowboat. Give beautiful Bonny a cuddle for me, she’s a wonderful girl. I’m still struggling with that pirate thing for your boat, no promises but I’m so trying. OK lovely take care, see you next week ❤
Arrr Heidi ,you go girl with the mersey crossing ,awesome.😃 Empathise totally with your fall did the same last year ,didn't even put me hands out to stop meself🙄....do hope the ankles doing ok? I had to rewind the ditty as chuckling too much at Rosie&Jim.🤣🤣....Take care out there, stay upright and safe travels to The Pool.😁🏴☠️. Bonny's cute but wasn't Hector adorable.🥰
Shiver me timbers, the Captain's crossing a river. My knees are knocking, and I'm all of a quiver. But we all know that Heidi will always prevail, She's the Captain of the seas, an expert with the sail. So when you cross safely all your fans, they will cheer And take you to the pub to buy you a beer! ( or rum or whatever 😂) Bon voyage Captain, we are all with you in spirit. You're the GOAT and you've got this. Aarrgghh! 🏴☠️🏳️🌈 🥳
I love Liverpool too! Looking forwards to your adventures on the Mersey. I have to say the Dark Caramel & Cornish Sea Salt Kraken is lovely, but the Roast Coffee one remains my favourite. Enjoying the new music too. Thursday evenings are a joy now that I can look forward to some time watchig your VLOG. Hope you are ok after your tumble? Cheers x
Oh Heidi, glad to hear you're all right after your fall. I've done it myself on a bike - don't ask - never bothered with it again. Bonnie looks happy with her field, ✨️. Wishing you the best. Good one finding those glasses for that fellow. Looking forward to the Mersey crossing, but ! No pressure. Rest up if you need to.
Hello Heidi I must say, I've never been so late to your party. Business call over three hours.😞 Anyway.... it's the best day of the week, it's Heidi day!!👋👋👋👋👋👍
New sub from the states. Been watching your videos and catching up. I love the canal boat life style. You are so funny and a blast to watch. Bit of a fan of the rum myself. What a blessing for you to add Bonnie to your life. She is precious. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences. Be well 😊
Hope your ankle is ok and the rest of yourself ( will have to try to be careful ) , very nice for people to help you , great for Bonnie to have the field to her self , the music great as usual Heidi . Stay safe have a great time in Liverpool 👍🇬🇧🥃
Bless you. No matter what your age, a tumble can be BAD news. Falls are seriously bad; Luckily you seem to be young and bouncy enough to survive and have sprung forward to your next sniffter of rum. Stay bouncey girl!
Bonnie will sleep well after that. What a fun time for her. They need some time to run free. Safe travels. I hope you are okay after your fall. Praying for speedy healing 🙏
Another great post, I'm so pleased that your fall did not do too much damage to your ankle, hope the "wet your lips" rum helped. Please take care remember you do have little Bonny to take care off. Take care 🐶
I have another dity that took me 4 hours to make so hope u like The rum wench at land Bon and mum lending a hand Facing the gleaming waters of the uk Doesnt matter where but shes on it every day The ship rivers a popular spot For heidi and her little dot Loads of old and new friends With bon and her mum the fun never ends So lets raise a glass To this lovly lass And thank these two For all that they do This is my fave by far 😂❤
Hope your foot will be back to 100% great video this week Bonnie having her time to run an play 😊😊😊 your not a spring chicken anymore I feel the same way hit 41 this year an everything takes time to heal for sure 😊😊😊❤
Bonny will get there Heidi, you have done so well with her…..she’s a very loving and lovely little girl. I was as excited to meet her as i was meeting you hehe xxx
Phew .. a scary moment when you had the fall😵💫😳 pleased all ok❤. My daughter did " a right job" this year snapped a ligament in her right thumb - 5 months! Op, mum's TLC (in Q 4 months) and rehab. Loved the dog park idea - should be more of them❤ Safe travels - hope ankle now fully mobile Jan Adelade
Always a Ray of sunshine watching Your video's, Bonny was right enjoying herself in that field, it's so nice to see people offering help too, I hope your ankle is soon fully recovered, Keep doing what you do Heidi, You and Bonny are such a Tonic, All the very Best, sailing the Mersey.
Loving Thursdays, you and Bonnie never fail to cheer me up and my hips getting better by the day and finally driving again after seven weeks. Freedom. Tons of love Bill from Lincolnshire.

On the British canals, where the waters gleam,
Heidi the Pirate lived her dream.
Aboard Rum Wench, her narrowboat bold,
With Bonnie the dog, loyal and old.
Through misty mornings and twilight's glow,
They sailed together, steady and slow.
Heidi with her patch and tricorn hat,
Bonnie by her side, where she always sat.
They sought no gold, just freedom’s grace,
In the winding canals, their secret place.
A pirate's life, with a dog as mate,
On the Rum Wench, they embraced their fate.

Yes, wonderful places 😃🐕🏴☠️
Some broken ankles can be move and walked on. Should get it X-rayed. Rum disguises breaks. 😊
So if you're 23 that means you first became a liveaboard when you were 13. That's remarkable Heidi!
Yes, I started young after giving up 15 years of teaching 🤣🤣
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Right, that all makes perfect sense now. Thanks for clearing that up 🙃😂

Give beautiful Bonny a cuddle for me, she’s a wonderful girl. I’m still struggling with that pirate thing for your boat, no promises but I’m so trying. OK lovely take care, see you next week
❤
Thank you 😃❤️🏴☠️
Great video as always. We have used that field with our dogs when in the area.
brilliant as usual, thanks for sharing
Arrr Heidi ,you go girl with the mersey crossing ,awesome.😃
Empathise totally with your fall did the same last year ,didn't even put me hands out to stop meself🙄....do hope the ankles doing ok? I had to rewind the ditty as chuckling too much at Rosie&Jim.🤣🤣....Take care out there, stay upright and safe travels to The Pool.😁🏴☠️.
Bonny's cute but wasn't Hector adorable.🥰
We're right with you, Heidi!! No problems, mate! You'll get across the Mersey and not even know you went across, it was so calm, piece of cake. 🙂
Thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
Shiver me timbers, the Captain's crossing a river.
My knees are knocking, and I'm all of a quiver.
But we all know that Heidi will always prevail,
She's the Captain of the seas, an expert with the sail.
So when you cross safely all your fans, they will cheer
And take you to the pub to buy you a beer! ( or rum or whatever 😂)
Bon voyage Captain, we are all with you in spirit. You're the GOAT and you've got this. Aarrgghh! 🏴☠️🏳️🌈 🥳
I love Liverpool too! Looking forwards to your adventures on the Mersey. I have to say the Dark Caramel & Cornish Sea Salt Kraken is lovely, but the Roast Coffee one remains my favourite. Enjoying the new music too. Thursday evenings are a joy now that I can look forward to some time watchig your VLOG. Hope you are ok after your tumble? Cheers x
All ok thank you as long as I don’t turn circles with my foot 😂 fine to walk on though 🏴☠️ I’ve still not tried that one yet 😃
Oh Heidi, glad to hear you're all right after your fall. I've done it myself on a bike - don't ask - never bothered with it again. Bonnie looks happy with her field, ✨️. Wishing you the best. Good one finding those glasses for that fellow. Looking forward to the Mersey crossing, but ! No pressure. Rest up if you need to.
Hello Heidi
I must say, I've never been so late to your party. Business call over three hours.😞 Anyway.... it's the best day of the week, it's Heidi day!!👋👋👋👋👋👍

New sub from the states. Been watching your videos and catching up. I love the canal boat life style. You are so funny and a blast to watch. Bit of a fan of the rum myself. What a blessing for you to add Bonnie to your life. She is precious. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences. Be well 😊
Aww thanks for the lovely comment 😃❤️🏴☠️
Took me back a few years there, I used to fish a lot in parbold and near by I miss it lots x
Hope your ankle is ok and the rest of yourself ( will have to try to be careful ) , very nice for people to help you , great for Bonnie to have the field to her self , the music great as usual Heidi . Stay safe have a great time in Liverpool 👍🇬🇧🥃
You make it look so easy. We are gonna be crashing into everyone and everything next week 😁😁😁

💜💙💚
Lovely to see Heidi and Bonny again this week hope you both have a great weekend and your foot not too sore .bless you both stay safe take care😊❤
Thank you! You too!
Bless you. No matter what your age, a tumble can be BAD news. Falls are seriously bad; Luckily you seem to be young and bouncy enough to survive and have sprung forward to your next sniffter of rum. Stay bouncey girl!
Haha thank you 😃🏴☠️
Such a lovely programme Heidi, very good and well presented ,put together, Bonny is the star this week, own park and play area, ✅
Bonnie will sleep well after that. What a fun time for her. They need some time to run free. Safe travels. I hope you are okay after your fall. Praying for speedy healing 🙏
Another great post, I'm so pleased that your fall did not do too much damage to your ankle, hope the "wet your lips" rum helped. Please take care remember you do have little Bonny to take care off. Take care 🐶
Give Bootle a wave from me as you go past. I grew up right beside the cut!
Fabulous vlog as always thank you ❤ xx
