- It's time to leave my comfort zone and head out to new waters. The guide book tells me that I am leaving the best behind me. It's going to be a very different summer- can I handle the shock? Sit back, relax and enjoy. Take care 🌻🦋

It's always lovely to hear from you and I will get back to you.
Dear Ms Mindful and Zephyr. Thank you for making Fridays special once again. You make canal life look so relaxing and beautiful. You are definitely “top of the line” among canal boat vlogs.
That is such a kind comment!😊 Thank you so much- I really appreciate it. Take care 🦋🌻
Make me something to eat im sick of McDonald's and kfc 😢
Hello. I discovered your channel after watching the entire series of All Creatures Great and Small. The country side of England that you barge through is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Joe. Cape May, US.
I have had a horrible week, so I purposefully didn’t watch this on Friday, but saved it so I could sit down on a Saturday night, red wine in hand and just chill and enjoy. Thank you for providing a little piece of chill in an otherwise manic life. It is much appreciated. Please never stop. All the best.
I am so sad to hear that you had a horrible week. I hope that you are okay? I'm glad that you feel chilled tonight though. Wishing you a much better week next week.Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care 🌻🦋

Im sorry that you are having difficult times. It seems that most of us are going through more than normal these days. I agree. It’s so nice that we can come here and escape this complex world for a bit. Im also thankful for these videos . I do hope things are better. Nice to sit with a glass of wine and escape for a bit. We are all here to help each other. Things will get better, I keep telling myself that. Anyway, we aren’t alone.
I live near the Appalachian trail in western NC. I heard a biker say, “we are all just walking each other home”. I thought that was a nice saying. 2198.4 miles , this trail.thousand begin the trek each year. Some have to stop and come back to complete. Many finish. It’s a cathartic experience . This is a very hiker friendly town and it’s interesting to speak with a few.
We are all On our own journey, each unique. Im still finding my way from loosing my husband over a decade ago. Had to downsize and move and now…? I don’t know. I feel it’s time for s change though. At least I have options. When I feel
Overwhelmed, I think how fortunate I am that I have options. It’s a blank canvas. Kind of scary! Then I look back and say well I made it this far. I’ll be fine. Just choose something and begin.
Not sure where all of thst came from and I’m sure it isn’t relevant to you… life seems to be harder these last 4 or so years with everything. It will get better. It won’t overnight, but it will. 🥰
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 we aren't rich except in love. Despite owning dirt in both Alabama & Wyoming.
Don't worry, be happy. Wine cures most problems.
That stunning Flower Beetle with it's shimmering green covering, sitting on a Buttercup, what a beautiful contrast! God... the greatest artist of them all...his signature is on everything at every level and in detail that is just mind-boggling. Such a rich palette of colors, textures and an amazing variety of shapes. And it's all just sitting out there, like it's nothing special. I'm SO glad you take the time to notice and record these things on video! Not only is it something to marvel at, but as an artist it must be quite inspirational too. Loved the buildings and the market. Your videos have always been good, but they just keep getting better and better!
Hi Mark, thank you for such a kind comment. Stumbling on the buttercup meadow was such a magical surprise and I could have sat there for hours. Have a super weekend. Take care🦋🌻
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again
The best boater channel on you Tube by far
Smack on with every aspect 👍🏼👍🏼✅
Thank you so much, Matt!😊 I’m so chuffed that you think so. Have a super weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
thanks Vanessa for another stroll through beauty....I think you allow us all to become 'unfrazzled', as at the end of your lovely poem. The Beetle and the buttercups drawing is uplifting. I loved the Moor Hen chick and the Marsh Orchid too. And each week I enjoy the sound of water flowing into your teapot! Warm wishes for the week ahead. W xxx
I’m so pleased that you’re feeling unfrazzled too, Wendy! Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🌻🦋
The colours on that green beetle are amazing. Mother Nature keeps astounding me, the smallest of creatures are so beautiful. Take care and have a great week. =-)
It is a spectacular looking insect, Lorraine! Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🌻🦋
We call grannies bonnets Aquilegia there seeds are scattered as Our wonderful Lord blows the wind and they spread near and far . All these amazing tiny insects the beautiful birds that give burst to a symphony hearing them giving thanks for their insect breakfast, the Lord provides for all our needs. So beautiful ❤️
Thank you for your wonderful content. Watching your channel makes me feel good.
I’m so pleased to hear that- thank you so much 😊 Take care🦋🌻
Es ist sehr schön Dich ein Stück Deines Weges begleiten zu dürfen. Deine Videos sind eine Zauberwelt. ❤
That is so kind and thoughtful of you. Thank you so much! Have a super weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
Imagine how many little creatures would have been in that amazing field of buttercups. So relaxing. Thank you .
What an incredible amount that would be! Thank you so much for watching. Have a super weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
Thank you ❤
I appreciate the time and effort that you put into your vlogs. They are very much appreciated. I just hope people are inspired to look more for the finer details of nature as you do.
There is something very comforting and warming about all of your films but more so the making of the tea and wondering how many biscuits are there this week 🤣
Love you and what you do.
Thank you 🥰xx
That is so thoughtful of you, Peter- thank you so much. I think the biscuits this week looked so much bigger on the screen than in reality! 😂 Have a super weekend. Take care 🦋🌻
Wow what a fabulous field of buttercups - they certainly bring a ray of sunshine don't they? Have to smile at the thick-thighed flower beetle though 😀- your Friday afternoon tongue twister 😂😂 Enjoy the Trent and Mersey it's just as beautiful 🙏🐾🦋
Oh Margaret, I fluffed up that tongue twister so many times when reading the poem out!🙈 The buttercups were glorious. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻
Buttercup field is so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
It truly was a wonderful surprise to stumble on it. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
New-ish to your narrow boat video blog and I have deeply enjoyed ALL that I have watched so far. Your beautiful outlook on the nature that surrounds you and the boating views are amazing! I want to visit the farmers market with what looks to be amazing local craft!! Thank you SO much for another window into your world.
Welcome to the channel!Thank you so much for your lovely comment too. Take care 🦋🌻
What an incredibly talented artist you are, thank you for sharing on CZcams, quite a treat to watch. ❤
That is so kind of you. Thank you so much 😊 Take care 🦋🌻
What a peaceful and calming video. Thank you.
I’m so pleased that you found it relaxing. Thank you so much for watching. Take care🦋🌻
Oh Vanessa the joy this video bought to me is immeasurable...Everything was just So Perfect, So Relaxing 🤗 Today I took a photo of an insect on a Oxeye Daisy on my phone I got home zoomed in & it was A petrol green thick legged beetle, 'So Pretty' I loved that you found one too. Thank You & Zephyr, Sending Love & A Big Hug through the skies 💐💗🐕
Hi Sally, they are wonderful to spot aren’t they because they dazzle in the sunlight? I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the vlog. The Oxeyes are also really on show this week too. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻
New adventures now and the farmers market looked amazing. How lovely you could re acquaint yourself with Earl Grey tea! Just so wonderful to be able to immerse yourself in nature as part of Nature Journalling week. Must be so easy to lose yourself just watching the insects. That green beetle was stunning. Thank you so much :)
Hi Tracy, it really is easy to lose yourself watching the insects! Zephyr gets bored of it though 😂🐾🐾 Thank you for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
My favourite part is the Nature Journal! The Macclesfield Canal sounds like it should have a poem all of its own.
You are right; it should have a poem of its own shouldn’t it? Thank you so much for watching. Take care🦋🌻
A lovely vlog as usual, I’m always struck by the music you use, it adds so much to the video. The artisan market was really nice, love to see people passionate about their wares. Great poem at the end.
I'm so pleased that you enjoy the music.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
The shrimps in the water you took for your water -paints reminded me of when I was a small boy early 1950s ! We often played in a spring-fed stream in our local park which had lots of these little shrimps ,but during Summer it would be completely dust dry ! Come the Autumn rain the shrimps would be back again all along it! It was always one of our wonderful childhood mysteries ! I learned later their eggs lay viable in the dry stream bed ,but when the water returned the shrimps were there fully grown! Thank you for another lovely video report!
Same here, I grew up in the early 60's among country lane's, ponds and streams teaming with life now all built over with new housing estates. How sad.
It’s incredible isn’t it? That is such a wonderful story too. Have a super weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
Embracing new adventures is always exciting! You've got this! Change is the only constant. Wishing you an amazing journey ahead! Stepping out of your comfort zone is the first step to growth. Enjoy the ride! New waters bring new opportunities. Can't wait to see where this summer takes you.
Very true and very wise- thank you so much! Have a super weekend. Take care 🦋🌻
@@themindfulnarrowboat I want your days to be a rainbow of seven colors and a blue sky and a very colorful life. Take care of yourself.

They are the best bridges in on a canal here that I have seen. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend. Take care🦋🌻
Very well put together Vanessa, thank you. Have a lovely week…
I am so pleased that you enjoyed it.Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻
Thanks Vanessa. A cruise of dodging the showers by the look of it. Lots of lovely flowers, including an orchid! A great Farmers market too. Looked as if Zephyr had her eye on something on one of the stalls. Was that a doggy treat?
The market was lovely and Zephyr had her eyes on everything edible! 😂🐾🐾 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super week. Take care 🦋🌻
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you Vanessa, good work 👍😁.
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for your lovely. Have a super week. Take care 🦋🌻
Absolutely love your your zest for life, and nature, fantastic artist, I walk along the macc canal, Bollington, so beautiful and chilling, I have also learnt from you names of the bridges , I also follow vice and Jo Holly the cafe boat, 😀
The bridge names are great aren't they as they tell a story of the landowner or local person of significance from the past. Holly the Cafe Boat is a super channel isn't it?Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻
Only 10 mins in and just know that you are going to do just fine. You are the canal Queen 👸 Fantastic as always 👍
Your handle name made me chuckle!😂Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
The Buttercup field was amazing . Thanks
It really was wonderful to see it. Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
Hi Vanessa & Zephyr
Another nice quiet vlog from you.
Zephyr meets many friends at the market.
Zephyr had a great time at the market.Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻
I smiled when you mentioned you found the mushroom people again. I know the feeling. I am off to a Farmers Market in BC Canada tomorrow, lots here as well, and I just love unexpected finds … 😊 ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Happy shopping! Thank you so much for watching. Have a super weekend. Take care🦋🌻
Thank you! A beautiful poem 💜😊
Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻
I adore your pictures and poems! I put the video on half speed to take them in as you skip through ❤🌻
That is so kind of you. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
When the stall holder mentioned Wirral tea I thought I’d like some of that! That’s were I live x
I think you should look out for them as they do markets in your area too. Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
Keep Smiling!💝
I will do 😄Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
Yes very interesting, I must get some more history on the local canal, take care on your journey 🍄💐🐝
Thank you so much 😊 Have a super week. Take care 🦋🌻
Ah, so nice... your journeys so well-realised. The market was lovely. Thanks for pointing out the insects. Aren't the wild orchids differently shaped to potted ones. A great day out, even Zephyr has a few words to share
Wild orchids are so much more exciting than the potted ones and the varieties that you can get are incredible.Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
Bealtiful, bealtiful,bealtiful!!!! Thanks!!!! Direto do Rio, Brasil.
Thank you so much for such kindness! 😊 Have a super weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
Hi Vanessa, it was very different and very beautiful. Thank you so much 😍🙏
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊 Have a super weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
It must have been Zephyr's answer just looking down at the water, and thinking what kind of question is that, you know its beautiful.
You’re right.🐾🐾🤩 Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super week. Take care 🦋🌻
What an amazing Farmer’s market and so great that the family allows people to come into their property. The hospital of the U. K and the friendliness of the people you encounter weekly is such a breath of fresh air. I wish I could sketch like you do. I have colored pencils but I noticed yours in your videos and was wondering if the brand you have you like for a certain reason? I’m happy Zeph got to see other dogs like her at the market. It was so funny when you told her you got her some things. She immediately started licking her lips lol. Oh how do you stand the cuteness? I would be cuddling and petting her all day long.
The mugs you got are beautiful. I like them. I love tea but I have to be careful because I can’t have a lot of herbs because of having organ transplants. There are a lot of herbs out there that could counteract the anti-rejection meds so I have to be careful. Those dried flowers are lovely too.
What was in the tin you purchased? I noticed it looked like you put it in the bathroom.
Such an elegant lunch or dinner. I don’t like mushrooms though :(. Even though they looked amazing from last week when you bought them.
Holy shrimp. There was a lot of them in that little scoop. My goodness.
Don’t forget too that when you feel like things are overwhelming , we are all here wishing you happy and safe journey and wishing we were spending the time with you. You are doing something with your life that you can literally say “I had an amazing life. I did so much”. I hope to be able to say that some day. I think Narrowboating was the best choice for your life now because you look like you have so much fun doing it. Keep having that fun. :)
Hi David, what a kind and lovely comment- thank you so much. There were soaps in the tin and they smell delicious too. I use Derwent watercolour pencils as they are so smooth on the page and blend well. Have a super rest of the week. Take care 🦋🌻
@@themindfulnarrowboat You’re more than welcome. I noticed your colored pencils blend well and came out smooth and figured you found a brand you were happy with. I will have to look them up. I can’t draw but I do like to use them. I figured they were soaps but they were shaped interestedly and I didn’t want to assume lol. Thanks for always responding. :)
Suddenly it's Monday late afternoon. The lads who came to trim the apple trees have gone, taking their noisy wood chipper with them. I suddenly felt lazy and decided a wee dram of Glenmorangie single malt and a relaxing video were called for. So I took the time to catch up with Vanessa and Zephyr - perfect. Love the term 'unfrazzled' to describe the mood you created. Thank you.
I am so pleased that you caught up with us today with a wee dram.Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I hope you have an unfrazzled week! Take care 🦋🌻
Where ever you are you make it beautiful xx
That is so kind of you. Thank you 😊 Take care 🌻🦋
You did very well indeed with your purchases !!
There were so many lovely stalls at the market! Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻
You rock. Great vid and I loved the poem. Hope your days are lovely!
Thank you so much 😊 That is so kind of you. Have a super weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
I love the Bees on them flowers. Bees are fascinating,especially the Bumble bee.
Bumble bees are beautiful aren't they? Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend. Take care 🦋🌻🐝
We only ever see you but all the indications are (2 cups for tea Ect) that you have a partner on the boat (Plus Zepher of course). Be nice to see you both. Love your Vlog.
I live with my husband but he can’t be in the vlogs due to his work commitments and the code of conduct he has signed about being on social media. Thank you for watching. Take care🌻🦋
Loved every bit of this beautifully created video Vanessa, your life is so interesting; seeing such beauty in this amazing countryside that we live in. I would have bought all the things you bought at the market and your new mugs were a bargain 🥰 they're gorgeous and perfect for your travels (I love tea as much as you do) 🙂 Aren't the buttercup fields amazing this year, must have been all the rain we've had. Zeph is a super star and I love seeing her with you, what a calm pupster she is and she's loving her ball 🥎 As always your journal becomes more and more beautiful. I just wish I could draw like you. Thank you for sharing your journey and new adventures to pastures new 🥰
We sound like two peas in the same pod, Lynn! Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend. Take care🦋🌻
@@themindfulnarrowboat Oh yes, we definitely do Vanessa and if we lived closer I would love to come and say hello and maybe enjoy a nice cuppa with you 🙂 who knows .... maybe one day. I so look forward to your updates and in face we have been bingeing on some of your older videos too; thoroughly enjoyable and beats anything on TV. Take care and have a great weekend 🥰

There were certainly many beautiful bridges. So nice cruising with you. The columbines were lovely and so was the orchid. My favorite part of your vlog is the poem you read and your drawings. Thanks.
Thank you so much, Heidi! Take care 🌻🦋
Oh, that buttercup field! Oh, that vibrant first orchid! Oh, those wondrous iridescent metallic green Thick-thighed flower beetles! And oh, the delicate comfrey colours!... Oh good, I’m not the only one putting milk in my Earl Grey tea! Thanks for your weekly companionship.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the nature this week. I think a dash of milk in earl grey is perfectly acceptable don’t you? 🤭 It is a wonderful blend though. I totally recommend Dutton’s Teas. Thank you for such a lovely comment. Have a super weekend. Take care🦋🌻
@@themindfulnarrowboat Duttons? We can get Bigelow's & Twinnings here. Guess I'm going Amazon shopping. Lol
Have no fear, the Trent & Mersey is a lovely canal when you're heading North, it's only if you go South through Stoke it gets a bit grim. Especially, once you get past Middlewich it's often winding and glorious (apart from the Tata chemical works!) with several flashes where birds like Grebe can be seen, and just after Middlewich over the small aqueduct there are lots of reeds on the opposite bank where there are reed warblers plus other birds I couldn't identify. The far Northern reaches just before it joins the Bridgewater, are beautiful giving spectacular views over the wide Weaver valley from it's position high on an embankment.
Well, I am really looking forward to it now! 🤩 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super week. Take care 🦋🌻
Another wonderful vlog such brilliant filming ,i took screenshots of the buttercup field and the Orchid such beautiful vibrant colours , we used to have Aquilegia growing directly out of a stone wall of an old pig pen on the end of our cottage such fragile gentle flowers ,once again thank you it really does start my weekend with a warm happy feeling .
Growing out of the stone wall of a pig pen sounds so romantic to me for some reason? I’m so pleased that you got some screen shots too. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻
We call that flower “Granny’s Bonnet “
It really looks like that! Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻
Thank you for my weekly fix
Getting better week by week outstanding editing watch out mr Attenborough 😅❤

Thanks for all the great vlogs
That is very kind of you. You are very welcome! Take care 🦋🌻
I now live in Cricklade on the back of a nature reserve and apparently it’s the largest reserve in the whole south of England that has the largest amount of snakehead fertilles but this year they haven’t grown as the Thames flooded the land for to long 😔😔😔which is such a shame but now it’s drying out and it’s so pretty walking though there that I ended up taking loads of pics the other day and filmed all the caterpillars busying away 🥰🥰.
Hopefully, it will all start to flourish again🤞 Take care 🌻🦋
Zeph is adorable ❤
🐾🐾💚Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
Dear Vanessa,
More people need to take time and look at the miniature world which we pass by when out for a walk; whether it is a paved path in a village or an open field.
This is one of the many things I enjoy about your vlogs. You make time to view this miniature world.
Remember to treat this new canal as an adventure for yourself, Zephyr and Alice Grace.
Mark
Alberta, Canada
ABSOLUTELY!!❤
Hi Mark, thank you so much for your wise words. Have a super weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
The disadvantage of so much rain gives the advantage of so much beautiful greenery - so all is good!. I think the last of that shipment of Earl Grey with the disappointing taste has been exported here to the Netherlands - had a cup last week 😩😂
That is so true about the rain and the greenery. Here’s hoping your tea tastes beautiful from now on! Thank you for watching. Have a super weekend. Take care🦋🌻
I have just come back after a month in rural Burgundy . I managed to get two of your vlogs out there and I’m catching up on the other two, they are so relaxing. One thing I have noticed, it still feels like winter here, but as you say the weather conditions make for a great variety in nature. 😊
I hope you had a wonderful time in Burgundy, Jack? It is still very wintry here but I am hopeful that summer is around the corner and we are going to have sunny days with a gentle breeze. 🤞 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻
I really enjoy your videos , so relaxing .
I’m so pleased that you enjoy them. Take care 🌻🦋
perfect way to begin my day 😊
That is so kind of you. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Take care 🌻🦋
Friday past we had to suddenly say goodbye to my mindful adventure girl Wally, the yellow Lab. Your video this morning was so special as Zypher’s presence with all her priceless Lab moments brought smiles and laughter. Labs are just the best. Zephyr is a reminder that there is always joy in the midst of sorrow. Thanks Vanessa for who you are and what you do. ❤
I so enjoy your videos. I especially love all the birds and the flowers. I recently retired or I surely would be a patron. I wish I could send money so you could buy all the tea you wanted to try! Keep sailing free. From central New York. No where near the city. It looks like your travels around here. Rural.
You don’t need to send me anything, Susan- your comment and just watching is reward enough. Thank you so much 😊 Have a super weekend. Take care🦋🌻
Beautiful film. You are very talented!
That is so kind of you. Thank you so much for watching. Take care🦋🌻
Even the dogs get along in your country amazing
To be honest with you, Zephyr was more interested in sniffing the pet stall than meeting the other dogs. 😂🐾🐾Thank you for watching. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
What a beautiful video. The beauty of the natural world and your appreciation of it moved me to tears. Wishing you many happy journeys 😊
Thank you so much for your kindness, Charlene. I am so pleased that you enjoyed the video. Have a wonderful weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
i guessed the IRIDESCENT Beatle would be the journal star very cool also the columbine flower is very similar to one we have here in NE Arizona great video as always
Well guessed! I think those beetles are amazing! Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
I've never seen actual fields of Buttercups but I did make Buttercup necklaces for Girls as a Kid.
I got more Girlfriends that way.
Seems wherever you travel it is full of pretty places to see.
I think part of that is the freedom you have just by living on Narrow Boat Alice.
I miss Market places and little stores and I think England has more than anywhere else.
Every time you smile Vanessa you make me smile and that is every time I watch your Video's.
Is your favorite group the Beatles or Beetles Vanessa , it has to be one of the two.
Before your time I know.
Your video's are the best thing to make me happy.
Hi Paul, little markets and little shops are such a treat to shop in aren't they? It is so lovely to meet the hard-working, sellers who are so passionate about their product too. I am a fan of both kind of beetles/Beatles! Have a super week and thank you so much for your kind comment. Take care 🌻🦋
so calming....Thank you

Hello. I use loose tea all the time. It makes a better cup of tea. Brewed in a tea pot you can always have a top up.
It so does doesn't it!Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻
The field of buttercups reminded me of when I was a child, the fields between our house & the church were full of (child size!) thigh high grasses of many types mixed with endless flowers of all colours awash with grasshoppers, blood suckers as we called them, Daddy Longlegs & countless other insects. It was truly heaven on Earth & so sad it's not like that any more.
We really must care better for our planet & everything growing on her.
Thank you so much for your lovely videos. ❤
Hi Annie, your tall grass meadow sounds like it was a very special place. There are a few like that up here and it has been beautiful to walk through them. I agree with you that we must take better care of our planet. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care 🌻🦋

Hello Vanessa, I'm a retired Chief Marine Engineer. The part in your video about the engine was quite short, but I thought I would give you a little insight into reading the exhaust!!
White smoke indicates water in the engine, usually a blown cylinder head gasket, accompanied by "mayonnaise" inside the oil filler cap.
Blue smoke indicates burning oil, possibly broken piston rings, worn bores, or worn valve stem seals (if it has them)
Black smoke indicates over fueling, or injectors needing new nozzles/calibration.
Going by the funny noise of the engine, and the blue smoke, please check the sump oil level with the engine warm and stopped. If the oil level is above the max line, it will force oil up the bores, causing blue smoke. The funny noise of the engine would then be caused by the sump being pressurised, trying to prevent the pistons from going down.
I hope all this makes sense, and will help you to diagnose problems.
I've said it before, but you are an amazing artist. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and look forward to them every week!!
Charles, this is such a helpful message- thank you so much for taking the time to send it. It really well help us to identify what the issue is. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care 🌻🦋
