Thank you so much for inviting us to your family Christmas, that was very kind. Lovely of you to play for us too. The duet was very sweet.
Thank you John 😃 Have a fabulous New Year 🎉🥃🏴☠️
Watching you and all the family members getting along just fine , looks great, Heidi you're a hero , keep on doing the videos.😊
Top tip if you ever have to go down the weed hatch in winter - pour a kettle of hot water or two into it before you put your hand down there. I can't believe how much Puddin loved the snow! A good bit of work by George on the piano...a budding musician!
Ooh that’s a good tip 😃🏴☠️ and yes little George is doing really well 😃🏴☠️
Don't worry about not being adventurous enough, whatever you get up to is fun! Your family all together was delightful!
Thanks Ken, I go all over in the Summer but winter is difficult due to lock maintenance and stoppages but I’m hoping to be back adventuring as soon as I’ve had my booster 😃😃🏴☠️
bloody fantastic. Living alone I felt so emilsional and you made feel so good. Thank you
Aww bless you thank you 😃🏴☠️
I really enjoyed your organ playing especially with George
Thanks Paul, I’ll let him know 😃❤️
Can't beat a bit of Harry Belafonte .... mostly because I love Beetlejuice ...obvs 😎👍 Protect ones nipples at al costs! Lovely to see the family enjoying themselves and well done for letting the young pianist recover x
Thanks Matt 😃🏴☠️ awww little George is a star 🎵
look at him go ,its the most excited Ive seen him
😂😂
Love it.
Pity facilities not kept in good working order… a simple necessity!
Thanks for watching … yes I think there is a bigger need with more and more boats on the system these days. Hopefully things will improve in the future 😃🏴☠️
You are never boring
Aww thanks Morris 😃🏴☠️
It was so lovely and very heartwarming to see your family Christmas 🎄. Thank you, and seeing winter on the waters makes me even more determined, so beautiful 😍 😊
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
New risque commentary heights achieved! Well done.

That was sweet to see you Play with your nephew, passing the love of music to the next generation. Did somebody do that for you too??
My mum and dad got an old piano when I was a kid and then got me some lessons 😄😄 So we have always had instruments in the house and little George loves them, so he is now have lessons too ❤️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate wonderfull
Puddin loves the cold. Very nice video.
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Thanks so much for making your music available for purchase! I bought both.
I love your vlog. I live in Portland Oregon in the Northwest USA. CRACK ON!
Oh wow, thank you very much for your kind words and support 😄🏴☠️❤️
Loved you playing the piano but was almost expecting you to do a Les Dawson!😄
Hahaha I normally do 😂😂🏴☠️
I did enjoy all of that thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thanks for watching 😄🏴☠️❤️
It was nice to see you in a real sense.
Thanks Greg 😄🏴☠️
Am a bit late to the party this week so possibly already said, but you have made many new friends this year with your vlogs and this feels like you had us all round to your Mum's for Christmas ! Thanks for my invite, oh, yes, sorry....it was the sprouts...i can't help it.... Anyhow here's to a great 2022 and hope to see you on the cut.
Oh Norman, thank you so much for your lovely comment 😃 I’m glad you enjoyed it …. I hope the sprouts have worn off now 😂😂 have a fantastic New Year 🏴☠️🎉🍺🥃
It was the 'Chapel Hat Pegs' that stood out on the list of videos so happily I found your Channel, laid-back and wallowed in the double-entendres. I spotted your name on the music credit so I guess that there are lots of organ jokes, too. Your family Christmas around the piano reminded me of my own childhood which was lovely. Happy New year from 'Thors Hammer' on the Leeds/Liverpool.
Aww welcome aboard Martin 😃 I loved the Leeds Liverpool when I did it in 2018, beautiful canal. Thanks so much for watching and commenting 😃🏴☠️
Watching from Perth Western Australia. Love your video’s
Oh wow 😃 thank you 😃🏴☠️
Hahahaha fair do's girl you're brilliant
Aww thanks for watching and leaving such a lovely comment guys 😃🏴☠️
Managed it in the end! Have a lovely drink on me Heidi❤️
Cheers 😄🏴☠️❤️
Glad to hear it’s only the top lips that are frozen I was worried.
🤣🤣
Omgosh! Your so Funny! Seriously the mission you got going on..sure mission was completed! Hope you had a memorable holiday! Ty for sharing! :)
Awww thanks so much 😃 have a fabulous New Year 🎉🏴☠️🥃
It sure did look cold 🥶 Perhaps you could get a chimney that directs the smoke away from you while cruising.
Yes I need a taller one for the back I think 😂 I have 2 fires on my boat and I only light the back one when it’s very cold, but it does keep me toastie when I’m stood at the tiller 😃 the problem with a taller one is that I would need to remove it at almost every bridge and I know I’ll end up smashing it 😂😂
Lips frozen lol lol
😂😂
Cruising in winter doesn’t happen here. Well, you can cruise on top of the ice with a dog team and sled. By the end of winter ice can be up to 4 feet thick. Nice to hear the piano but hearing penny whistle would have been good. Have a friend who is amazing on a whistle.
We can’t cruise when it’s proper icy here either … but luckily we didn’t have much ice last winter but I was frozen in once for 6 weeks and you could walk across the canal … that was great fun 😂😂
I wish we had canals in Aus. Love your vlogs.
Thanks so much Dale ❤️ Have a fab New Year 🍺🥃🏴☠️🎉
Thanks Heidi what a lovely video! I just loved the piano playing!
Thanks for your kind words Helly 😃 I’m glad you enjoyed it 🏴☠️
That was lovely. It’s only September but got me in the Christmas spirit already.
Hello Heidi - greetings from Poland.
I'm watching this superb video on 08/09/22. What a fantastic Christmas you and your family had. You're very lucky to have such lovely parents.
I loved the cruise through the "kinky" tunnel twice. Shame you couldn't empty your toilet but at least you got water and managed to moor up for Christmas. "Boat life for real" - wouldn't have it any other way. Stay safe please
Aww thanks for joining us for Christmas 😃🏴☠️❤️
Really Nice Christmas vlog 👍
Thanks Karen, have a fab New Year 🏴☠️🥃🎉
Now that looks a bit chilly, 😁👍
Haha it was! Have a fab New Year Phillip 😃🏴☠️
I'm hunkered down for winter (it's -8 C here) no wonder you are too. Merry Christmas and Happy New year. Mostly have a good day everyday. Later.
Wow that’s cold, have a fab New Year too 🎉😃🥃🏴☠️🍺
Lovely 🎶🎵🎶🎵. Thank you
And a lovely family. Happy New Year 🎉
Thank you Liz, have a fabulous New Year 😃🏴☠️🎉

@@TheNarrowboatPirate Happy New Year to You!
Hi Heidi from Seattle, Washington. My wife and I love your channel. Glad you didn’t freeze anything personal on the cruise but maybe the title of the music you used should be changed from “Stiff Ripples” to “Stiff N……” 🙂
They certainly were on that cruise 🤣🤣 Have a fabulous New Year 🎉🥃🎵
Wishing you a great and Happy New Year from New Jersey, USA.
Wow amazing and a Happy New Year to you too 🎉😃🥃🏴☠️❤️
Hi Heidi. Just started watching the vlogs and I'm hooked now. I'm far too old to go cruising and it looks like hard work, but It's lovely to watch you and your fellow cruisers.
Chapel hat pegs-now that's a phrase I haven't heard in a while!. I used to work with a lovely girl named Linda who, in cold weather, used to.......hmmm, I think I'd better stop there!.
😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate She was beautiful in the summer, but outstanding in the winter!
😂😂
Hi Heidi. I love the way you handle your boat, I hope to take a ride with you and listen to the beautiful sound from the engine .. I wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR
From Lasse in Sweden

Great to see such a musical family!
Thanks Peter 😃 little George is very talented 😃❤️
Btw still reeling from the antiquecenter and the breakfirst spread...💖💖
It was a lovely breakfast 😄🏴☠️
Evening Heidi,
Alexa has now learnt to find your tunes 👍😁
If you haven't already, try "Alexa fart" 😈
Hahaha I ask her to fart on many occasions when someone is walking passed the boat 😂 awww I’m glad they are working now … Stiff ripples should be there soon, thanks for listening 😄🏴☠️

Thanks Mike 😃 have a fab New Year (I think you will be celebrating it before us) 🥳🎉🏴☠️🍺🥃
You can put a pice of pipe on the stove to keep the smoke over your head. Just slip it on when you need it.

Watching all your old vlog as I started at the beginning #1 and I live in Washington State, USA in the county of Pierce and the city of Gig Harbor. I don't own a boat nor go boating in anything smaller that a cruise ship tender.

Merry Christmas to you Jax and Pudding

Just empty the toilet in the bushes and use canal water filtered that's what we do.

Happy New Year! Have a happy healthy 2022.
And you Donna, have a fab one 😃🏴☠️🎉
Am i crazy for thinking winter narrowboating looks just as fun? Also any time on the cut is an adventure to me. Its like living in a Tolkien book!
I love winter on the canals 😃❤️🏴☠️
What a great Vlog, totally enjoyed. Merry Christmas to you Heid
Thanks Rowena, have a fabulous New Year 🎉🥳🏴☠️
Great video love Puddings boots. Happy New Year 🥳
Aww he loves his boots, but goes through a pair a month 😂😂 Happy New Year to you too 😃🏴☠️🥃
Not boring at all
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Happy New Year from Denmark
Happy New Year Gitte 🥳🎉🏴☠️
Thanks
Thank you
We found your blog a few days ago and are all caught up already. Love the vlogs and it's nice to hear a northern accent on canal vlogs for a change.
If you find yourself up on the West Yorkshire side of the Rochdale again. We'd love to buy you a rum.
Aww thanks so much for watching 😃 yes I loved the L&L, Hudds, Calder and Rochdale … I got stuck for 4 months in Tod last winter 😂😂 I’ll hopefully be up again soon though 😃🏴☠️🥃
@@TheNarrowboatPirate we are looking at moving aboard in the next 3-5 years. Just need to get the cash together. We have something to look forward to on a Thursday now.
Oh Heidi, how cute are puddings boots??
And how caring are you ❤??
Great vlog as usual, hope you all have a happy new year! Love and hugs
Thanks so much Sue, I hope you have a good one too 😃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate thanks, we will 🥰
Hi from Niagara falls Ontario canada
Nice vlog............merry Christmas and a happy new year......................
Happy New Year to you too 🎉🏴☠️🥃
Ha puddin boots😂
What a lovely Christmas Day that looked. You play the piano very well, and it’s great that your nephew is doing well with it too. Lots of instruments in that room. Nice.
There don’t seem to be many service points. It must be hellish in summer trying to get water and empty rubbish and toilets with all the additional holiday boats. How long would a typical summer wait be for the facilities?
Sometimes you can be waiting an hour, it’s the same with locks but other times you are very lucky 😃🏴☠️
Looks like a great day merry Xmas and a happy New year
Thanks Darren, Have a fabulous New Year 🏴☠️🎉🥃😃
Very much enjoyed this vlog loved seeing you with all your family. Happy times. An someones me . For some reason it wouldn't let me type in my name🤷♂️

Never fiddle with your embers!
😂😂 happy new year to you both Em x x 🏴☠️🎉
@@TheNarrowboatPirate To you, Jackie and Pudding too. Lovin' Pudding's style!
I didn't get any snow. I've been ripped off by nature. I saw it on the hills. Ha it can take along time to turn around and get water. Sometimes it's just easier to carry on if you can. Hope you have a lovely new year Mrs pirate ladies..
Have a fabulous New Year Narrowboat, Narrowboat, Narrowboat Wiiiiiilllllllllllll ♥️🏴☠️🍺🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@TheNarrowboatPirate I need to dig that intro out...People keep asking for it. I noticed your intro. Sorry forgot mention that. Your dog is so funny.
Bring back the fart 😂😂
Hope you had a great Christmas. And 2022 is a good year for you.
Te kaha me te hauora mo meake nei. (Strength and health for the future.)
Thanks Glen, Happy New Year 😃🏴☠️
Awwwwwwww puddin! x
Hi Heidi, Greetings from freezing A Minnesota! I look so forward to every one of your vlogs! And I love your music!! Thank you for sharing your Christmas and family with us. A very special vlog! I'm just an old broad now but if I were younger I would love to live the narrowboat life. You are now my favorite narrowboat vlogger!
Oh Linda, thanks so much for your lovely comment, that has made my night 😃🏴☠️ have a fabulous New Year 😃🏴☠️🥃
Happy New Year !🎆
Same to you Jan 😃🏴☠️🎉
Happy New Year 🥳🥳🥳🥳🍾🥂
Happy New Year to you too 🎉😃🥳🥃🏴☠️
Hi, Heidi, greetings from Essex. Looks like I'm one of the first to wish you, your family, and the pirate gang, a wonderful new year. Lovely to see the young pianist. It made my day. We had a Christmas family celebration a couple of weeks back. I showed my granddaughter how to play bass guitar. She is a good musician in her own right, and plays alongside her mum in a brass band. A week later I received a video of her at the school Christmas concert playing bass guitar with the school orchestra. That is my favourite Christmas present ever.
Oh wow that’s amazing, how wonderful ♥️ music is an amazing thing! Have a fabulous New Year 🎵🏴☠️
Loved the piano duet. 🙂 And pretty sure setting oneself on fire for the holidays is just a "mom" thing.
😂😂😂 it was hilarious 😂😂😂 happy new year Janis 🏴☠️🍺🎉
