There's a Festival of Lights boat event in Guildford every September, it's beautiful. Starts in the town centre and ends at Dapdune Wharf (National Trust). They put on activities all day for everyone, culminating in music in the evening. Hope you can get there sometime.😊
This was a suprising decision and i'm honestly not very happy with it. I definitly see Monicas good eye and style when it comes to design and I really liked a lot what she did but as we saw in the last challenge, she is not really a teammate and also don't listen to the brief and just want to go with hers, so no transformation at all. I get that you should do your thing no matter what maybe some people could think but these challenges are also about teamwork and what the customer want and I don't think she gets that right. They should give Tom the win for making the Wedding house look coherant by adjusting his design haha But honestly I think Jack would've deserve it very much more! Great mind, transformation and he seems like a sweetheart!
Your videos are a true inspiration to me. Im a single man due to recent life changes, about to start a new life on the cut. I'm both excited but scared out of my mind. Watching your videos has given me a sense of reality on the water. So thanyou so much. Not only for the info but helping me switch off just for a minute.
A few years back, I lived in Grantham and would regularly cycle down the disused Grantham Canal, and that had the old original marker stones along it.😊 Plus, not that far away, was the drift track, that stretched from Bottesford to the north east of Stamford. Some sections were absolutely swathed with wild flowers!!❤😊 The canal and the drift track are the things I miss!
Canal Boat Journeys is my favourite TV programme - just love the slow pace, beautiful scenery, great information and Robbie's monologue. Hope there's lots of Diaries in the pipeline 👍👍👏👏
It must be great to be your own man Robbie love watching you boating keep on cranking take care hope you are in stoke on Trent sometime it would be nice to meet you in person
I believe Tom deserved a space to continue in the competition, the only thing I would have liked him to change a bit was his mural, the colours was great but he should maybe have committed to something more abstract.
Why is this program featuring so many candidates that are so different from real life people? There are too many people that is trying to be something that they are not. Edit: Also it seems that the candidates are not sticking to the brief and what the clients asked for.
dear Jack, you're great, big ideas, consistency, talent etc., but pls drop the scarf and the shorts ;-) Monica, pls pursue further with your identity into your designs, but pls keep half of the drama to yourself, this little girl thing ;-) good luck to both of you!
Thank you for uploading Whenever I watch these programs I wonder what the property owners think. I know the designers have 2 days and limit funds, but what happens 6 months later? First the dried greenery stuffed into pots will go. Then after sweeping under and trying to dust the cobwebs off the dried flowers, those will go. Then the plywood sofas, tables and creaky swings.
yeah all the dried plants, especially the one in 3 of the four designer's spaces that are on the roof I am sure would be quickly gone. Horrible mess to clean for a hotel like space.
Good lord. Blondie consistently has meltdowns because she has ZERO time management skills, and a complete inability to organize herself. HOW is she still on the show?
Jack debió ganar, siempre demostró tener talento y no abrumarse por los problemas que surgían, además de seguir los deseos del cliente y no enfocarse solo en su estilo e ignorar el objetivo… I’m team Jack
My husband and I really enjoy your journeys on your boat and I find them very restful to watch before going to bed to settle me down. In our youth we had a small Shetland and we enjoyed boating on Loch Lomond, The Norfolk Broads and on a few lakes in the Lake District, sometimes sleeping on board (a bit cramped), more often in our 'home from home' in our caravette which towed the boat to its different destinations sometimes adventures on our own and some with our kids. Later we got a larger boat - a Princess which seemed very posh but not as easy to take up smaller rivers for picnics where we watched dragonflies dancing and dosed in the sun. When my husband had his cancer treatment 10 years ago he spent his time while in quarentie during radiotherapy planning a sea voyage - a reminder of his days with the RNLI - from the north east coast (where we kept our boat) up the coast of Scotland and hopefully through the Caledonian canal. He was able to achieve his dream as far as Inverness though I didn't join him due to worsening arthritis but then covid locked everything down and by the time it was over he was also less able to manage the boat so regretfully we sold it. However as septogenarians we are enjoying travelling vicariously with you and look forward to seeing your next adventures. Best wishes for your next voyage.
Really didn't understand this decision. I like Monika's style but she's been one-dimensional, bad at keeping time, and doesn't listen to briefs that don't align with her own style (all things for which Michelle has sent people home in previous episodes). Ridiculous decision by Michelle. Really wanted Jack to win, he deserved it for sure and (though Monika is obviously talented) was a lot more refined/mature in his designs.
Monica will be one of those designers that will produce some amazing talked about spaces but will be a nightmare to work for, these sort give the rest of us a bad name among the trades and clients. Oh well!
Based on their showing for the season, Jack is a better designer. But the rules of the game is to be judged only on the last designed. Monika won fair and square and I'm happy for her.
Monika is so irritating to me. How is she getting past week by week. Michelle is constantly saying she wants them to hit the brief, and Monika literally picks and chooses what she wants to do! It's irritating beyond belief!! I thought her space was so not the vibe. Tamei really didn't deserve to leave.
Also she never won an episode. At least Temi and Tom had some wins and Jack won once. If you compare to series 3 it was clear Banjo was a winner because he had a track record of producing winning designs. Monika just seemed to flap around, fudge it and never won. I think that's why I feel less satisfied with series 4.
The brief: Eco...uses spray paint 😬😂 to create fake copper effect. So tacky! And Monika is a moron. Every single time she has to figure out if something works last minute.
Does anyone know if Robbie is making any more new vids, love watching his canal boat diaries. 😁👍
Super, loved every minute of it. Best Wishes, Pete

Great video and well narrated Robbie 👍
Brilliantly done many thanks
Have you ever thought of getting a CB radio

Love canal boat diaries all the places Robbie visits
Great programme, I wish you'd post the other series, they disappeared from the iplayer before I had chance to skim them 😆

Monika's bar is just stunning! She definitely deserved the win.
It must be great to be your own man Robbie love watching you boating keep on cranking take care hope you are in stoke on Trent sometime it would be nice to meet you in person

Strikes me as a lonely old life you have Robbie, love the presentations never dull, it August 2024 hope all going wel, where are you presently.
I might venture that way again, I did not think Sheffield would be nice
That kettle won't stay shiny for long
Michelle (the judge) said "really" about 50 times The judges expect miracles with pocket change and an extremely short time.
Peter is a snake. In the previous episode he was an albatross around his lead's neck. Sitting there for hours weaving. Argh!
It's always the lead that goes home, but it's the other person on the team that is a saboteur.
dear Jack, you're great, big ideas, consistency, talent etc., but pls drop the scarf and the shorts ;-) Monica, pls pursue further with your identity into your designs, but pls keep half of the drama to yourself, this little girl thing ;-) good luck to both of you!
They tried to make it clear. Monica filled the brief. Jack didn't.

I just dont get it either.????

whaaaaaaattttt? Tom debió pasar!
bad sound
What on earth does she mean with "cultural"?

NAH...Ry should've stayed. He was literally SO GOOD. what?
Good to see you again, Robbie! What a lovely idea for a vlog!
Love Robbie's TV programme - it's the best of the week for me and such a change from the usual rubbish shown on our screens. Keep boating Robbie 👍👍👍👍
Really didn't understand this decision.

Ridiculous decision by Michelle. Really wanted Jack to win, he deserved it for sure and (though Monika is obviously talented) was a lot more refined/mature in his designs.
I thought Jack should have won. Monika has the same design style for every challenge. Jack was versatile
I do not like tom
Robbie keep it cruising
The fact that Tami went home is complete garbage. I could aee if she picked and chose what briefs she wanted to complete like Monika bit she didn't.
Really?? Monica??? I can't believe it, Jack should've won.
Congratulations Monica🙌🏽You won fair and square ❤Love your style
I really enjoyed watching
Jacks body of work was better! I agree he should've won 😢
Monica will be one of those designers that will produce some amazing talked about spaces but will be a nightmare to work for, these sort give the rest of us a bad name among the trades and clients. Oh well!
So thankful that you put up season 4🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Based on their showing for the season, Jack is a better designer. But the rules of the game is to be judged only on the last designed. Monika won fair and square and I'm happy for her.
Based on the design, Tom should have gone home over Peter. BUT Tom is overall a better designer so I'm not too mad.
Monika is so irritating to me. How is she getting past week by week. Michelle is constantly saying she wants them to hit the brief, and Monika literally picks and chooses what she wants to do! It's irritating beyond belief!! I thought her space was so not the vibe. Tamei really didn't deserve to leave.
*EXACTLY* She just skates through every episode.
Also she never won an episode. At least Temi and Tom had some wins and Jack won once. If you compare to series 3 it was clear Banjo was a winner because he had a track record of producing winning designs. Monika just seemed to flap around, fudge it and never won. I think that's why I feel less satisfied with series 4.
The brief: Eco...uses spray paint 😬😂 to create fake copper effect. So tacky! And Monika is a moron. Every single time she has to figure out if something works last minute.
