    Merry Christmas from New Zealand. We know the Nursery Rhyme and have admired the fine lady statue on a couple of occasions. We have a narrowboat on the canals (currently on the hard at Debdale) and have seen your boat about. We really enjoy your vlogs whenever it suits you to put them up. Hope we see you on the cut when when we come back in 2024. Have a great time.

    You did well with that turn at the winding hole. It worked out fine.
    It sounded and looked very windy. You made me laugh with the pinball comment.😂 I could imagine you going from side to side.
    You looked perfectly dressed for the weather Vince.
    I would have been worried about Ashby too. Where did you find him?
    It's good that you help each other and I agree the world would be a better place if we all did likewise.
    Interesting story about Banbury's name. I thank you for your vlogs Vince. I always enjoy and look forward to them.
    Happy New year to you. Love aunt Babs. ❤

      Hello Aunt Babs. You'll have to excuse my late responses. Had a few small tech problems. After walking miles and asking around, I tracked Ashby down to a vets in Banbury. If most of us were helpful and considerate to others where possible, it would sort out a lot of problems in this world. And it doesn't cost a penny haha! Have a happy new year love Vince xxx

    Vince, I saw nothing wrong with your pants tucked into your socks. Your just setting a fashion statement. Right? When you went under that low bridge I found myself actually ducking my head while siting in my recliner watching this video. lol Today is Dec. 27 when I'm seeing this video and I heard a day ago that you folks were going to get hid with some really cold weather and high winds. So, please stay safe, warm and careful. Hope you had a Merry Christmas, wishing you a Happy New Year and looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Take care. From the U.S.

    Vince wishing you a Merry Christmas afloat, I've never done that though I have had Christmas's on the banks of the Suez Canal. Here in Vietnam, it's 28 deg at 10 am, had Christmas day breakfast of bananas on peanut buttered toast and two cups of coffee. Wearing my Christmas spotless T shirt, that I'm seeing how long will stay that way.
    Solo boating can sometimes introduce you to some great people, who just lend a hand and make life a bit easier. I had a mooring routine coming alongside or locking so managed it prity good. But having someone catch a line and return it did speed things up.
    You look all snug there with Ashby on your lap and your thick jumper. So enjoy your time in Banbury and maybe eat a few cakes. You have loyal subs because of your honest delivery, you don't add gimmicks or try to be clever with music. You show the mishaps along with the expert winding hole spin arounds. But can I pass on a bit of advise, use pub toilets when ever possible, it save a lot on cassette carrying.
    Have a super 2024 New Year cruising and I look forward to lots more videos when you have time to post em.

    Societies view of Christmas is not always doable. I hope you do what your basic interests (always speaks the truth) push you to do. Whatever happens we need our comforts, books, entertainments or people whatever is most important to us as our life changes. I will have lovely company for about 5 hours then it will be backs to books, music and whatever is in my mind at the moment. I guess many of us will be in the same boat….i hope your boat gives you exactly what you desire most. Missing loved ones can’t be avoided but we toddle along as best we can. Times change and it is best if we change to fit what can’t be avoided. That way lies a bit of contentment. Happy Christmas, dear Vince.
