Morning. No more dad jokes Wayne please.... 😉 hope you're back is alright Amanda . You know me and I may have had a little giggle when you disappeared out of view Amanda but love you really. Great cruise ans Nyx looks just the little lady ❤❤❤

Thanks for another leisurely cruise, Amanda and Wayne. I must say Nyx is looking fabulous. The canal looks very narrow leading into Autherley Junction. Did you have to pass anyone coming the other way?

Thanks folks, for sharing your journey...very nice.

There’s a wimpy in kings lynn 😃

As always your videos are lovely… so sorry 😞 for Amanda, hopefully she is feeling much better now… NyX looks smashing ❤ loved the music too 🎶 when I saw the alligator 🐊 I thought 🤔 is that real lol 😝 have a wonderful weekend

Where all the canoes are that for a schools week for the chance for kids to go away without parents before high school

Poor Amanda, hope your back is better now. A bit of an accident prone vlog this week 😁 Have a lovely weekend both of you and give Nyx a big tummy tickle for me 🥰

My favorite fishing spot

On̈e of my favourite moorings.

Lovely video as always. Tixall wide Def on the to do list one day. Glorious x

Hey guys again Frosty went mad as soon as your music come on the TV. Beautiful chilled cruise . Have a fantastic week 🎉

I live in the states so don't really have a dog in this fight so to speak but, isn't the purpose of HS2 or any railway these days, mainly to reduce the number of cars on the road to help reduce congestion and pollutants as well as shorten the travel times? I don't know if there are congestion issues along the proposed route so maybe it is a waste but, I'd go as far as to say there isn't a government project in existence that hasn't' wasted at least some money...lol.

Thanks for another lovely video. You're right about Tixall Wide. It looks absolutely beautiful. What a way to spend a few days.

What a great video today! Some of those buildings are really beautiful even in poor condition.. the view is amazing and I’m glad that you have had some great weather. Today it’s sunny and really nice weather. In the low 70’s. Sitting outside with my lunch and watching the birds. Have a great weekend 🥰👍🌻

Nice One. All the best.

No rain in this one! 😃😂As always, lovely stuff. Have a marvellous weekend 🥰

Lovely vlog. Great last mooring, wow all those bikes! Enjoy new waters x

Firstly - i have almost finished Felicitys first book, Union Clues, absolutely BRILLIANT and will def be ordering the next - highly recommended. Enjoyed ur vlog thanks, we moored at pretty much the same spot near springwood haven, fab walks and a very beautiful spot We only got to the top of Atherstone locks so lovely to see ahere we can go when we get some more time once moored at Hinckley X

That's a nice peaceful start to my day. Thank you guys. Looks like summer has arrived!

You do not sound grumpy!

Every time I see your intro I smile, it's lovely! Your 'hmm' at the boat with all the bits on the towpath said it all! 😄

What a lovely relaxing cruise on a beautiful summers day. Hope you’ve managed ok today and it’s not been too hot for you both and Nyx 🥵🥰

Hello. Really enjoyed the video.

Good morning 😃🌞 great video today with the ducks running around to greet you …😂❤🦆 what a nice tour about and glad that you enjoyed your time with friends. Hugs to all x

Really great looking boat. Thanks for showing us round.

I'm fairly new as a narrowboat owner i cannot get over the amount of boat owners who pass moored boats a ridiculous speeds, don't these people have any common sense on boating etiquette.....i know what I'd like to write !!!!!!

Another rainy day on the cut! Another day of careless drivers! You're having a good summer so far! Some nice countryside amongst all that, especially the misty view of the hills outside Springwood. Nice to see you catch up with Felicity Radcliffe. I've been reading the second of her Grand Union series (waiting for Alex to get his comeuppance!) I hope your summer improves.

Lovely. Thanks for sharing.

Good vlog guys. Nice to have caught up at Fradley junction the other day. We were all getting so fed up with the rain and it just seemed to never stop. Why won’t people use their horns ( not hornes) 😂. Gettit lol. It is for safety to avoid crashes as you say. We have also encountered a few now and had to ram in reverse as did you. Take care xx

Ian and I loved taking part in your wonderful video. It was great boating with you - and yes, you were right! Ian did take refuge in the Co-op at Glascote during the worst of the deluge! We look forward to seeing you soon on the cut - in the meantime we'll keep watching the videos and will follow your progress with interest!

Your very close. Just arrived in Stone. Heading back to G H on Wednesday

What a beautiful spot 🤩

There are absolutely no 'rules' about blowing horns at bridges it's just what you've made up. Sods law says you will always meet at a bridge hole just be careful.

Very pretty 🥰by the way, no tornado 🌪️ thankfully 😅 have a lovely time there… 🤗 x

Can't they sell those boats it seems ashame to let them rot

Such a shame that bad boat drivers can’t face consequences like their counterparts on the roads 🤬So nice to see Lou and Gareth - have missed their vlogs but they looked well ☺️ Roast dinner is my absolute fave 😋 Now, looks like we might get some nice weather this week - don’t say it out loud but you might see some sunshine! 😂😂🥰

oh you had no luck with all the rain! My mum always says 'don't worry, you won't dissolve!', I think she might be wrong!!! Another great vlog, thank you. I like to see the routes in that area. 🙂 x

I would be 🤬 too!! Thanks for the video 👍 😀.

Great to see you again, sorry 😞 to see more rain… we have been having rain here every day since we last chatted!!! Just now, we got a tornado watch issued for around us… hopefully we won’t get anything worse than heavy rain 😮. Glad to hear from you guys and enjoy your evening . Talk soon hugs to you all ❤🌻🙏

Another Great Video!

good vid cranking it on the cut keep up the cool vlogs thanks lee

Wow bit of everything in that blog 👍👏 swans are so protective 😮. You are a hero in that storm, I’m with Amanda and would say cheerio and go inside 😂😂😂

I've seen this video in my feed even though it's several months old. I had a refleks stove fitted last summer to replace a Morso squirrel stove. I considered a 90 litre tank for the well deck (with no connection to the main engine fuel tank) but opted for a standard Lockgate 50 litre tank, mainly because of the extra price for custom size. With hindsight I would go for a bigger tank for convenience, however I bought two 20 litre jerry cans and use a jiggler hose to transfer diesel to the tank. That gives me 90 litres total capacity at a saving of well over £100. When transferring diesel to the tank I place the jiggler so it just reaches the bottom of the jerry can and then tilt the can 45 degrees forward as the diesel goes down, that just about completely empties the can so I don't need to mess with a funnel. I had a lot of teething problems with my stove, not lighting, not getting hot enough to keep the boat warm, and tar build up on the chimney. Lockgate came back and adjusted the high burn jet supply and slightly adjusted the fuel line position and now it working just fine. I always use meths for lighting. The learning curve was much steeper than I expected and these are my working guidelines - When the diesel level gets low in my 50L tank, below 25% full, the fuel flow can be less than needed to keep the stove burning efficiently. This shows as poor performance and a yellow flame in the burn pot. A bigger tank may avoid this perhaps. If the stove isn't burning properly it causes tar build up in the flue and cowl, the chimney also smokes. Lighting with meths works fine as long as the stove isn't hot. A second attempt after too soon after a failed lighting will cause self-extinguishing blow back and an alarming 'whoomf!' I leave the meths doing it's work until the mesh frame is glowing red, then I turn on the diesel - as you said, at 1 to 1 1/2 on the regulator. At first I spent a lot of time checking all the fuel holes, high and low, with a wire probe to make sure there weren't blocked. It's a time-consuming and fiddly job - and unnecessary if you clean the stove as demonstrated in the video. I am still revelling in the extra space I have where my coal scuttle, kindling wood, bags of coal, and hot ash bucket used to go, not to mention the lack of dust and dirt!
