Stunning documentation of a journey, not only the celebration of 50 years of marriage. But to bring back memories of time gone by. Loved all the journey. Thank you for allowing us the honor of witnessing.
What a touching love story of this fine couple through this journey series. It's very honest. No glamorous makeup ; no pretensions. I feel so sad whenever Tim shares that the Pru he knew well is almost gone. And I love how spunky Pru is with new experiences. Blessings to them both. ✨ A love story on many levels!
There are several series of Great Canal Journeys now, try searching for them 👍 Series 9, episode 3 was the one I have waited for since this splendid series began. The Bridgewater Canal episode begins in the idyllic village of Worsley, where I live. I pass through Worsley twice a day travelling to and from work. It is the best Canal series ever.
@@chris-cole I will most certainly look for it. Thank you so much - I thought Series 4 was the last. Thrilled to find out that there are more. I may skip the others and go straight to series 9 ep 3 because I would love to see what the Bridgewater Canal and the village of Worsley look like today.
I always loved Sybil, but I am so in love with the real woman who has provided endless laught to this American girl for over 38 years. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
you probably dont give a shit but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@Fox Chaim i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
These two lovely people should be an example for all of us. Because of my age (63) and the fact that I fall in love with my current wife (since 2010) who is 23 years younger we probably can´t celebrate our 50th year of marrige. But nevertheless staying together and loving each other is such a romantic thing ! Thanks for aal the canal journeys. God Bless. kind regards, Bert fron The Netherlands
I feel the hurt he feels as my wife of 44 years has Alzheimer's . She is farther alone the journey but I know of the hurt. I still look after her so I know of the hart times but also the good.
This was absolutely wonderful. Ive never seen such breathtaking scenery and I am from the Pacific Northwest in the US so I am surrounded by amazing scenery.
With dementia one does not go away nor is the person so much changed. It is more that there is a fog settled over the processing ability of the individual suffering from dementia. This fog effects both the interior of the person suffering and those who relate to that person. To manage the fog it is important to extend the time for processing and the time others expected procession take place in. More time must be given to finding ones thoughts through the fog of the brain and getting those thoughts out to others. The person is still there and is often little or not at all changed. The change is in the time needed to process and the amount of information that can be taken in at any one time and realization that recent events may not have had the level of time or stimulus or association to set in the memories. My wife and I have seen several elder family members through this stage.
What started on a narrowboat and a weekend trip is now a fantastic trip around the world. Fantastic people and fantastic places wonderful wonderful keep it up.
@ Dottie Dig People seldom have appreciation for the challenges faced by family members who have loved ones who struggle with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia's. It can be incredibly tiring and trying and that sometimes can come out as being short or impatient. His worry is about her and when you are in that kind of position, you are always looking for the next sign or indication that things may be getting worse. Maybe you should try being a little more sympathetic and considerate. Bear in mind, he is in his 80's as well. At that age, it can be hard enough to keep yourself going much less care for person who is suffering from a condition such as Prunella has. I had to deal with both my parents in the final stages of their lives suffering from mental impairments as a primary caregiver and I can tell you that it was exhausting both physically and emotionally and I am a hell of a lot younger than Mr. West. Think a bit more before you start calling people jerks!
You know, the word 'luvvie'' is commonly used nowadays as a snide and derogatory term for actors. A series like this one shows us that it is actually a compliment.
I think the husband is putting it in her head that she is forgetful. Ive watched every episode and the only time she messes up is when he yells at her.
Tim could be a little more sympathetic and considerate of Pru's memory problem. He's just worried that she will embarrass him in front of people. What a jerk. Otherwise he seems ok, aside from the occasional inappropriate comment, such as in the last episode when he said working class should be kept separate from rich people.
+Dottie Dig "such as in the last episode when he said working class should be kept separate from rich people". He expressed the way of thinking of rich people, not his own. He meant it cynically.
Dottie Dig on the contrary, we are all guilty of being short tempered and frustrated with life in general let alone a condition that leaves him frustrated with the fact that he knows she can canal tasks with her eyes shut yet because of age and dementia she actually struggles. I am more than sure he has supported her throughout their married life and careers. my wife has MS so I am all too aware of being frustrated at the situation and not necessarily the individual.
He actually addresses this problem with his son in this very programme. If you pay attention to what he says and how he says it, you will realise that he is emphatically not a "jerk".

@@ingaeubanks5737 if you're in the UK, try 4OD (4 On Demand). I'm not sure how accessible it is outside the UK
@@chris-cole I will check on that after Xmas - am a little bit busy right now :-)
I love traveling with you to places that I will now never see. Enjoy your health and sense of wonderment and excitement. Thank you.
I always loved Sybil, but I am so in love with the real woman who has provided endless laught to this American girl for over 38 years. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
Only one word to describe Prunella - Gorgeous!
I find this series to be poignant, and thoroughly enjoyable. Well done to Tim, Pru, and their crew!

@Fox Chaim It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account!
@Aaron Jairo No problem :D
A Lovely love story going on the canals in Britain and France and hearing their lovely story. Blessing to you both.
I love this and their relationship. So heartwarming.
These two lovely people should be an example for all of us. Because of my age (63) and the fact that I fall in love with my current wife (since 2010) who is 23 years younger we probably can´t celebrate our 50th year of marrige.

This is a beautiful journey with this fine couple, had tears for Prunella at 13:45 to 14:50, but she's happy and such a sweetie...
I enjoyed all 4 episodes!! Timothy and Prunella have such a deep love!! Thank you for these wonderful videos!!
I feel the hurt he feels as my wife of 44 years has Alzheimer's . She is farther alone the journey but I know of the hurt. I still look after her so I know of the hart times but also the good.
44 years of marriage, you are a star Art, and good on you you looking after the miss :)
Many thanks for posting this lovely series, it just gets better with each episode.
Ahhhhhh those magnificent tulips. On my Bucket List to see in person, too!
Pru seems like such a fun gal. I would love to go boating and wine tasting with Pru!!
Dottie Dig Dottie, you speak of compassion, is it wrong to have compassion for both people effected by this memory issue?
I wish the they would come to America and start restoring our canals. Most are all but gone.
This was absolutely wonderful. Ive never seen such breathtaking scenery and I am from the Pacific Northwest in the US so I am surrounded by amazing scenery.
I have just started watching this, and I can't believe Prunella, sang an old traditional folk song, Misty, moisty morning also sang by Steeleye Span.
Voila, tres bon
13:54 made me cry - her condition is so horrible. These two are real #goals ❤❤
another 1000 thumbs up I just love this channel on the canal
I have watched this series with great pleasure and even though I have very little knowledge of canals and narrowboats, I would gladly crew for you.

Love hearing English people talk, the narration is very enjoyable.
What a nice program, and seeing Punella is a blessing.
What a great series!
That looks like my kind of holiday, what a lovely couple!
Great Stuff / Great People.
What a fabulous job.
Fantastic holidays I feel I've had them with you both. Hope you're well.

Wow. Really great series.
Wonderful journey, I enjoyed it very much. Being Swiss, I miss Europe.

Chris Cole, A wonderful canal journey to France. And as we are on CZcams, I can take a trip to Faulty Tower's. Which is also one of my favorite shows.
There can't do any harm having one more"!
I really want to do this! I now know what my wife can do!
