- The weather is about to become extremely stormy with gale force winds and heavy rains on the way. Can we get to a safe mooring before it arrives? This vlog shows you exactly what it's like to live on a narrowboat when the weather is challenging. Sit back, relax and enjoy. Take care 🌻🦋

It's always lovely to hear from you and I will get back to you.
Isn’t it wonderful to feel safe and cozy in a storm? I love it. It makes me feel alive.
It really is!Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
I'm sure it's no fun to have to outrun a storm, but there's something a bit magical about living so close to nature that you adjust your daily life and movements to its rhythms.
It is magical you are so right there. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻
Beautifully said…🌸
This is not only documentary. This is Art! Beautiful, gorgeous, breathtaking, relaxing, and "free-living" documentary. You are doing great videos!
That is such a kind comment- thank you so much; I really appreciate it. I am so pleased that you are enjoying the vlogs. Take care 🦋🌻
I thought that this poem was appropriate . . .
'Resolution and Independence' by William Wordsworth
There was a roaring in the wind all night;
The rain came heavily and fell in floods;
But now the sun is rising calm and bright;
The birds are singing in the distant woods;
Over his own sweet voice the Stock-dove broods;
The Jay makes answer as the Magpie chatters;
And all the air is filled with pleasant noise of waters.
I love this poem. I agree with you that it is really appropriate given the weather. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care🦋🌻
That was a beautiful tour of the old churches and countryside. You have shown me the England I would most like to see. Thank you Vanessa, and I hope you have a great week.
It is such a pretty place to visit. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
slow and steady , riding thru the storm , you escape to the place of rose petal tea, and two biscuits. you are living free
…and they were chocolate this time💞
What a beautiful, poetic comment! Thank you so much 😊 Take care 🦋🌻
❤😊
Love the bees comment very worrying how many people don't realise they are one of our main pollen specialists
Our poor bees need all of our love and protection right now. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🦋🌻
Thank you❤❤❤ for your magical life free as a bird wonderful
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Take care 🦋🌻
Rough weather but still a super calm video.
I’m so pleased that you found it relaxing still. Thank you so much, Mike. Take care 🌻🦋
As always a wonderful journey through time and inner thoughts. Contrasting life now with life that had once been! A tribute to the people who came before us... those that have already passed on... people who were separated by time and never had a chance to meet!
That is such a wonderful way of putting it! Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
What a beautiful episode!😍🇨🇦
That is so kind of you. Thank you so much 😊 Take care🌻🦋
Only two biscuits today, which reminded me of my late grandmother in law and her two biscuits a day rule! We impose this on our kids too, passed down through the generations!
She sounds like a sensible lady! 🤩 Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
I am trully glad I found your channel. It takes me to peaceful, creative and adorable thoughts. And I love your cuttie dog...
That is so kind of you. I’m really pleased that you found my channel too. Take care🦋🌻
Like your use of Broadhurst Swing bridge anti-clockwise, Lefty Loosey & Righty Tighty
Very well you keep your eyes & ears open for falling trees, too close for comfort
Take care & Stay well ♥
It was a lucky escape. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🦋🌻
The name Charles Tunnicliffe rang a bell with me as he is the same C F Tunnicliffe who illustrated Ladybird books. He did “What to look for in Winter” and all the other seasons. I’m a big fan of Ladybird books, particularly the nature based ones. A very exciting vlog this week. What an adventure in all that stormy weather!
He did and also Tarka the Otter illustrations too. Thank you for watching. Take care🌻🦋
It is a dream come true to live near to nature but the episodes when nature is red in tooth, claw and force 9 are hard to endure. Thanks for the reminder, we sitting on our cushioned sofas are, and the dream reminds us, so safe and cosseted by and large. Thank you for another fascinating real life adventure.
So , so true !
Hi Rikki, the wild days make it feel like a proper adventure, although I do like the calm, sunny ones! 😄👍 Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🌻🦋
You don't give yourself enough credit! We have seen you pushing and pulling and everything else! You are quite wit and fit!!! I live on the Gulf Coast currently and 2 days ago , we had 4 States dealing with tornadoes. All we had to do was hunker down!!! Loving your book that I received expeditiously, to Ocean Springs, MS!
Tornados! 😱 I’d be so frightened in a tornado. When my kids were little, I took them to Florida on holiday and there was a tornado; I was so worried that I made us all sit in a cupboard until it had passed. I hope you are all safe and sound now? Take care 🌻🦋
@@themindfulnarrowboat Yes, Gulf Coast folk are quite a resilient bunch!! I lived in Florida before moving here, and spent my youth in England (British Mum) but I must say, the people here on the Gulf Coast are very congenial and warm-hearted!!! It's no England, but we have a lot more sunshine!!!
It was a pleasure to join you on your calm wonderful journey, you really are a beautiful soul..x
What a kind comment. Thank you for joining the journey. Have a super week. Take care🦋🌻
Am so glad I found this series! Thank you!
That is so kind of you. Thank you for finding me! Take care🦋🌻
Rain pelting the portlights, wind blowing…knowing you’re tied to the bank securely…rocking gently..relaxing with a book- I’d be out like a light before I finished 1 page! I have a sailboat, so all those things would NOT be relaxing. Maybe I should chuck the sailboat and move to England or France and get a narrowboat. Well, as we sailors say, Fair winds and following seas!
Oh I could not handle a storm out at sea on a sailboat! That must be so scary. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🦋🌻
Handling a big boat like that on your own in bad weather like that! You’re doing an amazing job sweetheart ! You have my fullest respect! Good luck to you! and stay safe!
I travel with my husband so we handle the boat together. You won’t see him in the vlogs though as his work means that he can’t be on social media as there is a strict code of conduct about it. Thank you so much for watching. Take care🦋🌻
Wow, thank you for taking us with you on your journey. That was a pretty stiff rain/hail. Spring is here and summer is coming. Love the ducks. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Enjoy the wonders of spring. Take care🌻🦋
Vanneso jesteś cudowną Kobietą! Podziwiam Cię i zazdroszczę życia jakie prowadzisz To wszystko jest piękne ❤
Thank you so much for your kindness. I really appreciate it. Take care 🦋🌻
Hello Vanessa - greetings from Poland.
A lovely video. Tunnicliffes walk was superb - the avenue of trees, church and jackdaws were all beautiful. The storm looked very scary. Good job you and Zeph were not about when that tree came down!
Hi Michael, I really enjoyed doing the walk Tunnicliffe described in his book; I’ll have to go back on a not so blustery day. When I saw that fallen tree afterwards, I shuddered at the thought. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Take care 🌻🦋
As the stormy skies get darker, your daffodils and tulips look even brighter - hopes of calm, bright sunshiny days! 🌷🔆 Stay safe 🙏
Let’s hope the sun will put his hat on! Thank you for your lovely comment, Margaret. Take care🦋🌻
Absolutely love your journeys, your observation and love of nature, your drawings and writings. Thank you for sharing your adventures on the Alice Grace with dear Zephyr by your side.❤
That is so kind of you, Connie. Thank you so much for watching. Take care🦋🌻
How resilient your outdoor flowers, standing up to hail and gale! And England looks so harmonious seen from the slow glide of the boat. It is really interesting seeing the old illustrations against the present day sites, and how well maintained some buildings and countryside have been. Thank you for sharing the experience.
My daffodils and tulips had flower power didn’t they!😂 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
Well every time I watch an episode, I wish I were in a tea room or pub with you, sitting beside a fire with a dozen or so new questions I am dying to ask. As an ancient American sailor I am beginning to feel that a Narrowboat should be somewhere in my future.
I think you would love narrowboat life. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super week. Take care🦋🌻
@@themindfulnarrowboat I love all boats. I lived on a permanently moored houseboat once for two years in a marina where I had a small 21 foot sailboat. I’m thinking I may have to come hire one for a week, maybe next year. Do you ever agree to meet with those who follow you and let them buy you a supper?
Oh how wonderful, I hope you get to fulfill that dream !!!!
Thanks very much for the super relaxing Video and showing us snippets of your 'Green and Pleasant Land' and Holly the 'Cafe Boat' also that seems to be back in action. Seeing you snuggled up with the fire on awaiting the storm i get this urge to put the kettle on to make us a cuppa, happy travels and give Zepher a pat for us. Love from Sydney.
That is so kind of you- I am so pleased that you enjoyed the vlog. Have a super week. Take care 🌻🦋
I love the way you are living life ; on a boat, travelling through luscious countryside, appreciating art , nature, poetry and history, with a lovely Golden Retriever. Its amazing.
I am so pleased that you are enjoying the vlogs. Have a super week. Take care🦋🌻
Vanessa, your book just came in the mail. It will make a lovely Mother’s Day gift for my mom. Thank you so much. I hope that you, Zeph, and the Mr. have a wonderful week.
I hope your Mother likes it. Thank you so much for buying it. Have a super weekend, take care 🌻🦋
What wonderful talents you have. Thank you for sharing your life with us. May the Lord bless you and keep you safe.🙏🇦🇺👍
That is so kind of you. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care🦋🌻
Again, many thanks, a lovely Friday interlude. Have a magnificent weekend and cheers!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super weekend. Take care 🦋🌻
Yet another enthralling video, There is a soothing nostalgic atmosphere in your tours around the canals, being in the midst the nature and wildlife and historical landmarks that thankfully have not changed .. I didn't know that Jackdaws were generational in their nesting places, so fascinating, So relieved that you weren't near that tree falling down. The bridges are as magnificent as they were built and is a testimony to our great grand parents building and engineering skills. Zephyr is looking dapper, and methinks she is extra careful because she doesn't want to get wet. Either way she is a very loyal, considerate and careful companion. I love the way you make your tea, it sounds and looks divine!, I can almost smell the delicious aroma of Rose Petal tea. Thanks again for a lovely half hour of a fascinating journey.😀
What a kind comment, Tristan- thank you so much 😊 The rose petal tea looked and smelt better than it tasted 🤭 Have a super weekend. Take care 🦋🌻
i’ve been thoroughly enjoying your channel - your peaceful, kind, and optimistic personality, coupled with gorgeous cinematography, exquisite artistic and literary skill have been balm for my soul while i “navigate” an exceedingly stressful chapter in my life. I was hoping to purchase one of your journals but found your etsy shop “bare”. I’m hoping you will let your viewers know when you restock.
Thank you so much for your calming channel.
Isn’t it wonderful, it’s like my little escape while watching !!!
I hope you are okay, Nancy? I am sad to hear that life is so stressful for you at the moment. Time passes and I hope that this chapter passes for you too so that you can feel happy again soon. Thank you so much for your interest in my book. I will have some more stock by the weekend. Take care🦋🌻
Thank you ☺️🌻🦋
Lovely video again ... Thanks.
Thank you so much, Peter! Take care🦋🌻
A wonderful magic, life thank you for sharing, keep safe. :)
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Take care 🦋🌻
As I watch your beautiful video, the rain is falling here in Wellington, New Zealand, on a stormy Saturday morning. So magic to watch your journey from across the world. Stay safe ❤ Vanessa and Zepha. ❤
I hope you stay nice and dry. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🦋🌻
51 days until we arrive in Nuneaton for our 2024 adventure. Many thanks for continuing, each week, to inspire! Brava.
Hi Bill, are you going to do the Ashby? I bet you can’t wait! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Take care 🌻🦋
@@themindfulnarrowboat Hello Vanessa, We will have our ABC boat for a month so the plan is to go anti clockwise (OK I should say counter clockwise and stop pretending I'm not American😄) through the Braunston Tunnel, past Leicester, on to the Trent and Mersey and back to the marina just before Nuneaton. I should consider the Ashby and going to see Coventry.Is it possible we'd make a big change in our lives and buy a boat when we get to Rugby??
You went by the Holly Cafe Boat. I watch them. What a great family and William sure can talk now.
They are lovely aren’t they and they make beautiful vlogs. Thank you for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
Thanks as always for a lovely video Vanessa. I love storms - when I'm safe and sound at home and can watch through the window! However, I can imagine that it must be a bit scary with all that "weather" going on outside when you're on a boat.
Hi Ruth, it is scary but cosy as long as you’re not moored anywhere dangerous like underneath a big tree. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
wow , that was one powerful storm , i'm surprised your flowers stayed on the front ,such beautiful poetry .
I was so surprised about my flowers too; they really do have Flower Power! 🤩 Thank you for your lovely comment.Have a super rest of the week. Take care 🌻🦋
Your narrowboat is such a cozy place to weather out the storm. Thank you for bringing us Jackdaws and Bluebells.
It is so cosy being inside a boat in a storm . Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
Good afternoon Vanessa it’s only me ~ once again I’m waiting on medication so I will watch your Vlog/video in about half an hour - the weather this week has been awful. I’m in Kingston upon Thames on the river it was 21° on Sunday and then on Tuesday it dropped down to 9° very very windy and very rainy - I hope you have a lovely weekend - sending loads of love and loads of hugs ~ Xxx Xxx
I know that area well as I went to university there. It’s a beautiful part if the country. Wishing you well, Louise. Take care 🦋🌻
im hooked on your vids, thank you , ive wanted for a long time to do this, maybe one day
I am so pleased that you are enjoying the videos.Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🌻🦋
Well done! That was a challenge in those conditions, you definitely earned your chocolate biscuits.Very brave parking Alice Grace on an aqueduct in those conditions. Have a quieter week Vanessa.
Hi Nigel, that aqueduct is amazing isn’t it? Great views from the top. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super week. Take care🦋🌻
Hatton Row Terrace Houses. Another place you've shown me I'd like to live.
People don't realize how wonderful some places would be to live in because living in a lovely place would I hope help you be happier with your life.
I know England is full of little villages that I imagine are the best places to live and you are always showing us some of the most beautiful places on your travels.
I'm Homesick again Vanessa.
That was a special vlog for me as you reminded me of my homeland maybe too much.
I think it was the bluebells you saw that made me a bit too emotional as it took me right back to my childhood.
be safe Vanessa.
Bluebells are special flowers aren't they? Thank you so much for your kind comment. Have a super week. Take care 🦋🌻
It's beautiful to watch ,the journey by boat was amongst trees,overcast clouds makes one love to be there.
The thunderstorm in the night and raining in the dawn,led to have a pause ,then again set off was not less interesting,your passion for jacdawas and poesy is unique
Cruising in storms and rain is so exciting and dramatic for me; I love it!Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Have a super week. Take care 🌻🦋
I luv your penmanship! Goes perfect with your drawing... safe travels!
That is so kind of you. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care🦋🌻
This is the most beautiful narrowboat vlog that I've seen. Amazing. Thanks for making such lovely videos. Your artwork is wonderful. I would definitely like to buy some of your journals.
What a kind comment, Lucy! Thank you so much. Take care🌻🦋
Love your videos! So informative & beautiful! You are an excellent artist❤ from an older couple retired in North Carolina USA
Thank you so much 😊 Take care🌻🦋
That was perhaps the best episode you've made yet. It had everything and the Tunnicliffe-inspired section was fascinating. You are crafting something quite unique with your channel!
That is so kind of you- thank you so much, James. Have a super week. Take care 🦋🌻
I find your history lessons fascinating, I'm in Minnesota where typically nothing is older than the mid-late 1800's. Keep up the excellent work, cheers!
I’m so pleased that you enjoy the history. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care🦋🌻
My gosh all that wind and rain, the tulips and daffodils held up well. I think we are finally getting some Spring weather too here. Zephyr is such a sweatheart. Lleased you say Zero, and Holly the Narrowboat Café - they have decided to stay on their boats for another 6 months, so maybe coffee and a cake are in the offing. Delightful rose-petal tea, so fragrant. Hope your weather calms down in the next days.
Hi Sian, thank you for your lovely comment. Let’s hope the spring springs into life soon. Have a super weekend. Take care🦋🌻
Good that Alice Grace is safer there. What extreme weather. Such weirdest time of year. Too many storms. I had enough of them too.
So good you have sold lots of your books. Amazing. You find the most amazing old places on your walks. Always interesting.
There are some great places to explore. Take care🌻🦋
Nice perspective on life !
Love the pup and the boat.
Thank you so much! Have a super rest of the week. Take care 🌻🦋
Loving this vlog. The books the walk, the places, the storm. Perfection.

Welcome to the channel and thank you so much for such a kind comment too. Take care 🦋🌻
😊 l thoroughly enjoyed this week's episode with the old and new images, and the classic portrait of the children in their Sunday best having their photograph taken on the boat. Great scenery and wild life how we take things for granted, l saw my first Brood of ducklings swimming passed my window this afternoon such a delight to see and baby lambs bouncing and kicking nature at its best. I'm glad luck was on ur side and u weren't there when the tree blew over. Hope u have a wonderful weekend Vanessa 😊🍪🍪☕️🐕
Hi Simon, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I haven’t seen any ducklings yet! It’s always so wonderful seeing them on the water. I hope you are well? Take care🦋🌻
Wow , first time I've viewed your stuff . Thankyou for your efforts , highly enjoyable

Hi Sandy, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I’m so pleased that you enjoy the places we visit along the way. Have a super week. Take care🦋🌻
You’ve got some lovely spring flowers on the bow of your boat. I was just thinking, I think that’s near where Victor and Jo moor their cafe boat Holly and then Holly the cafe boat came into view. The Macclesfield is a beautiful canal but boy oh boy it looked very windy! Wow that tree was a close shave! Stay safe Vanessa, Mr Mindful and Zephyr, better weather is just around the corner. xxx
Hi Shirley, it was exciting passing Holly the Cafe Boat; I just missed their opening times. After I saw where that tree had come down, I shuddered. It’s so sad to see a tree come down too😢 Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🌻🦋
Your vlogs are beautiful, thank you for sharing them.

Nice vlog Vanessa. Fancy your dog more safety conscious, than you lol, Good to see you "chilling" on your sofa, that's a first. Will we ever see you doing any D.I.Y. on your boat, or cooking. We're always outside with you. But we do love you whatever, see you soon 😊 ❤xx
Hi Glenn, thank you for your lovely comment. D.I.Y would be hilarious to watch as I am absolutely useless at it!😂 I’ve filmed me cooking in some of the older vlogs, but I don’t cook anything that is special enough to film. I’ll give it some thought though. Have a super week. Take care🦋🌻
Thank you! I have always wondered about the Easter bunny laying eggs . . .
It's an interesting story isn't it?Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🦋🌻
Zephyr's shopping adventures would be awesome, I wanna see her in the cheese section.

Enjoyed watching your adventures and listening to you Waffle 😊.
Thank you so much! Waffle made me chuckle- it's a perfect description! 😂 Take care 🌻🦋
Ahh yes, the thrilling life of slow boating. 😄 There after 19:10 sounded like (and looked like) a bit of hail in that, at least according to my experience in buildings with metal roofs and siding here in the US midwest.
There was hail in the storm too. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a super rest of the weekend. Take care🦋🌻
Stunning drawings and poems 💚

The weather as been really challenging just lately. The Macclesfield canal is beautiful. Just need some good weather to properly enjoy it now. The challenges make us stronger though
It has been challenging up here but so, so beautiful 🤩 I am stunned every day by this Canal. Thank you for your lovely comment, Paul. Have a super week. Take care🦋🌻

That is so kind of you, Leon! Thank you so much 😊 Take care🦋🌻
Hello again loved this episode, in no small part because of all the history in it. Glad you survived the storm, it looked nasty. What a beautiful view you had from the top of that aqueduct. Absolutely stunning. And I don't think I've seen Zephyr as excited as she was in that store. At least, not since that time you took her to meet your daughter at the train station. Thanks again, and best wishes, as always!
Hi Chris, thank you so much for your lovely comment. Zephyr is a very keen shopper but she insists on sniffing everything and all the customers too!🙈🐾🐾 😂Take care 🌻😊
I don't understand why you had to move to outrun the storm ...the storm would have the same effect wherever you were moored.
Sometimes we all need a break, but must be honest and let you know I'm gutted there does not seem to be a blog this week. I do hope all is good and that you and Zeph and the family are well. Sending hugs.🙏
Hi Liz, sorry that there wasn’t a vlog this week but I had to travel down south to my friend’s funeral. I’m up and running as usual for Friday this week though. Take care🦋🌻

21:37 Chocolate biscuits, very naughty. 😂 I'm diabetic, so really shouldn't. But thanks, I'll have one, you have the other. 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing your chocolate digestives! Have a super weekend. Take care 🦋🌻
You stopped and moored in a very exposed place there Vanessa on top of Bollington aqueduct. I don’t expect you got much sleep but I can understand you stopping when you did. Sorry Bollington had such terrible weather for you. Sun shone this morning and then it’s raining again. There are a lot of noisy jackdaws round here. They fall down people’s chimneys sometimes as there are a lot of chimneys around here and they decimate the bird feeders as they come in a little gang. Very successful while other garden birds are declining sadly. Enjoy the rest of the Macclesfield. 🌻
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Marilyn. The Aqueduct was not the most sheltered but it was still beautiful. Oh those poor Jackdaws, they do like a chimney 🙈 Take care🦋🌻
As you were posting the books, I was wondering if my one was in that batch☺️
