Hi Frosty! Good to hear that you love the black and white photos! I’ll keep them coming 😊

@@onedaymoreaboard yes please they are stunning 😍

You’re so welcome Lesley! Hamish does attract a lot of attention and cute comments when he’s riding in the backpack. I think Alex was most concerned about the egg splattering everywhere 😂😂

Yay, thank you! 😊

You’re so welcome! Glad you are enjoying the videos, and you will hopefully see an improvement as we started getting more comfortable in front of the camera and I got to grips with the editing! It’s been a steep learning curve. We did travel with fenders down at the beginning as we thought that was the way, especially to prevent dings, but now we know it’s not the safest way at all. In the narrow, single locks, fenders down mean you can potentially get wedged in the lock as it’s too tight a fit. But also, there is a high tendency for fenders to be knocked off and end up around your own, or someone else’s, propeller, which is not good. We are constantly learning on this journey 😊

Our pleasure! It’s lovely to hear that you’re enjoying the vlogs. Alex has written some of the music that I use (the opening few notes is part of a longer piece he wrote) and some other solo guitar pieces. The song we use at the end is actually not one of Alex’s though. It’s Time On Our Side by Ten Towers. You can hear the full version on CZcams here czcams.com/video/0MqqeXvnk78/video.htmlsi=IGP1J1-OJUx0F0KT 😊

@@onedaymoreaboard Oh thanks for clarifying that.. sorry I mixed that up🙂 But still love it all! That explains why I couldn’t find him singing it! I did get to enjoy his videos though! Thanks for the link!

@@crochetgramYou can see a little more of Alex’s performances in the videos section of his website here if you’d like 😊 www.alexjrudd.com

You’re so welcome Scott! Good to hear you enjoy them 😊

Our pleasure! Thats so good to hear. And thank you for your wonderful support of our channel. We’ve been saving up for some new audio equipment 😊

You are so kind Veronica! The doggie backpack is a wonderful solution for Hamish to continue enjoying our adventures as he slows down. It’s always entertaining when Alex comes to visit 😊

Ooo we love your boat colour Mike and Julie! So happy you commented. Hope to see you out on the cut one day 😊

He really was wasn’t he Jeff! Every now and again he does get that little trot on like he’s still a puppy! Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks for watching 😊

Haha so good to hear Angela! Hamish definitely loves to ride in that doggie backpack. We often say if he could smile he would! The music at the end is Time On Our Side by Ten Towers. You can hear the full version on CZcams here czcams.com/video/0MqqeXvnk78/video.htmlsi=IGP1J1-OJUx0F0KT 😊

He’s a determined little chap when he wants something, like a treat! And Poppy will race around forever if we let her! Keeping fingers crossed that you get a date for your operation sooner than 12 months. Looking forward to our surprise! 😊

You’re so welcome, lovely to hear that you enjoyed it! Hamish definitely gets lots of cute comments from passers by as he’s riding in the doggie backpack. It’s the perfect solution for him continuing to enjoy our adventures. That mooring was perfect with the beautiful view and the ducklings and lambs, but sad to see the fox get one of the ducklings. But that’s the circle of life isn’t it 😊

Thank you so much! We are glad you found us in our little floating home in the UK! Our daughter actually lives in WI. She moved there for work after we left TX! Love that we are bringing back some lovely memories for you. You’re right, it is good having Alex aboard and he adds another level of entertainment to the vlogs for sure! He has found his perfect job as a cruise ship entertainer, and he often visits between contracts. You’ll see him a few more times in our most recent vlogs 😊

So lovely to hear that you enjoyed the video Carol! Alex would be very pleased to hear you have his favourite sauce! We took many, many road trips up through Arkansas, from Houston to St Louis where he was at college! 😊

I know you’ll be pleased to hear that summer has finally arrived here Spinner! It’s been a tad warm on the boat though! Up in the high 80s in a steel tube with no AC. We have a small cooling unit though which is quite effective! We shouldn’t be complaining as we’ve been waiting for the warmer weather for a while now! Hope you and the boss are keeping well 😊❤️

Lovely to hear that you’re enjoying the videos with Ernie and Bonnie! I know you’ll agree with us, being slightly biased, that westies are the best! 😊

Thank you so much Claire! That’s always so good to hear 😊

We both have iPhones so share our locations with each other and it’s easy to track 😊

You’re so welcome Neil! It is such a beautiful mooring, and lovely to hear the church bell ringing practice on a Thursday evening. I thought exactly the same when I saw the fox. It’s the circle of life isn’t it. 😊

Thanks Swanny, you too! I bet you’re getting excited for your upcoming trip! 😊

Thank you so much Barb! It’s lovely to be able to transport you from Canada to the canals in the UK by the power of CZcams 😊

Thank you so much Elizabeth, and what beautiful words from your father ❤️

Yes he was lovely . It was when you said "Expertly done ...see you soon " and Pete looked back to you and waved as you went off to get the car .....🕊 ​@onedaymoreaboard

Thank you for the inspiration to go there! 😊

We would love not to have to rely on the technology, but it certainly helps! You’re right, and vey eagle eyed, that’s the same spot that Wes and Amy were moored recently. We caught up with them last week heading in to Warwick and now we are both heading on the same direction so I’m sure we will leap frog each other a few more times. It’s always good to catch up with friends unexpectedly! Alex always adds another level of entertainment to the vlogs! And it was good having him here to carry the doggie back pack. Hamish is doing so well for his age and fingers crossed we have a couple more years with him. He’s had a very healthy life so far 😊❤️

Hi Whisky and Scrumpy! I know we are totally biased but westies are the best aren’t they! Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks so much Eric, glad you enjoyed it! For the convenience of having the car we can put up with the hassle of moving it. It’s just part of the adventure really. Alex always adds another level of entertainment to the vlogs! He likes visiting but he much prefers life on his big cruise ship. Hes signed another contract for the winter so he’ll be heading off to start rehearsals in a couple of months. It’s good to have him around between contracts though, and to carry the doggie backpack. Hamish would be smiling in that if he could, he’s so content in there 😊

You too Chris! Thanks for watching 😊

It’s the perfect solution to keep him adventuring with us and he seems to love it! Thanks for watching 😊

That sofa really is the most comfortable bed! Poppy misses her Uncle Phil to curl up with! Alex always adds another level of entertainment to the vlogs for sure 😂😊

You seem to be easily annoyed Gordon, and in the minority, judging by the many other comments praising the black and white photos we get from our viewers. I’m not sure how our free to you videos can be blamed for what you pay for your colour TV, but I’m sure there are many other CZcams channels totally in colour that are more suited to you. Thanks for watching 😊

Jog on Gordon! 🤣

It is called artistic content. Black and white pictures are often more striking than the colour equivalent. You are not forced to watch. If you do not like, simply do not watch. There are thousands, if not millions, of other CZcams vlogs.

I think they’re ace, especially the BW still transition to colour Video.

This comment brings to mind a song by Jilted John…I can’t quite remember the title but I’m sure Google will know!

You’re so welcome Lee! Glad you’re enjoying the videos 😊

Thanks, you too Billy 😊

He’s doing so well for his 15 years isn’t he! And the backpack has been the perfect solution to keep him adventuring with us. Thank you for joining us from Denmark 😊

Muttley was a favourite o famine too Gordon, that laugh was something wasn’t it! Pete’s winding the boat sped up 20x did look really easy didn’t it! We went through the stretch with the sunken boat again last week and it’s been removed now, but it had been there for quite a while, honestly to a mamma duck and her ducklings. It’s always a sad sight as you know someone has lost their home 😞

10 of us on a Napton Narrowboat ! 5 couples! We got on great despite the cramped conditions xx

Yes we have seen that house which some very varied and different garden ‘ornaments’! One of our favourite things is the different view you get from the canal and you be a little bit nosey 😊😂

You definitely find out if you get on with people on a narrowboat don’t you! Glad you had fun 😊

That’s exciting Gail, and it looks like the weather will be good for you too! You can’t beat a day out on the water 😊

Welcome aboard Lesley! 😊

Oh of course Lisa! It’s one of the upsides of his business travel to Germany 😊

Thank you so much Claudia! I know, the fox made me sad too, when I realised it actually had one of the ducklings 😞

There are many, many bridges across the canal network with these lay-bys close by, and we always make sure we are not obstructing the road or a farmer’s access gates, so it’s all done legally. Lots of boaters and towpath walkers use this sort of parking. Thanks for watching 😊

Good to see you back Ron! So many of our viewers enjoy 'the noise' that you dislike so much, but you oddly keep coming back to a channel you claim not to like! We are happy to have your views and comments though. It all helps with the CZcams algorithm, so for that we thank you!
