      Hi Nigel. He used to sit down by Paul's legs but one day he kept crying to see what was going on so we placed him up there. He loves it. Think we've created a future problem though as in summer it will be too hot up there for him and now he won't travel quietly unless he's up there 😬😀

    ALL HANDS ON DECK CAPTAIN ERNIES OVERBOARD!! Sorry Ernie for laughing but of all the crew to jump ship and then to see you in your house coat.
    Paul and Liz the music was brilliant, everything about it was perfect it really set the mood for spring. Speaking of spring we have just come out of another cold snap with snow. This next week will be sunshine and plus temperatures.
    Liz you can be such a tease to your poor hard done by husband. Chin up Paul the walk did you AND Captain Ernie good.
    Liz as for you posing for a calendar, not a bad idea. What about generating a calendar for next year, the sales could add to your revenue and with all of the pictures that you two have compiled it could be amazing.
    With many laughs from the other side of the world I wish you many more sunny, warm days.

      Thank you so much Mark. Ernie has just about got over his little dip🤣 what's life about a if you can't tease your other half🤣😉 Hope your cold snap ends soon then, we have hoped all winter to see snow but we only got to see about 3 snowdrops on the ground. It seems to have snowed all around us and missed us on more than one occasion! 😕 Thabks for watching, see you next week 😊

    Well said Liz locks can be so dangerous take them slowly and safely, never be rushed by anyone. Paul an evil thought went through my mind when Liz was on the gate I thought you were gonna push her off lol. See Paul your madness is spreading now another poor dogs getting the treatment from that woman lol. Did tell you never pass a water point even if you only fill a few gallons. Brillaint vlog as always loved the music! Stay safe guys! :)
    ps: your comming up to Alvecote Marina there are some fantastic old boats in there.

    • @uponreflection
      @uponreflection  9 місяців тому +1

      We didn't pass the water point we filled up but spent a few nights moored up past it so thought it would be best to reverse up to it and top up rather than forward to find the next one. Alvecote marina, we have since been passed and actually put the boat in it for 2 nights while we visited family (you'll see that in the next couple of vlogs) it's a nice marina and like you say lots of working boats. See you next week 😃 😊

I am not really sure that he would have enjoyed getting a bath to wash away all his new stinky smells tho lol 🙂 Paul walking for those 3 hours was really great exercise for you.... good for your heart etc etc. Gosh so much flooding in the countryside of Coventry... So how far was it that you 'walked' the barge backwards? Enjoy going into the Spring weather.... as the summer seems to have disappeared here and we are now into Autumn... temps are dropping.*
