    I bet many think because you are from London and are photographers, you and Andrew are not “real” narrowboaters. But this video should remind such people that Andrew and his family have a very long history of working on the canals. I doubt there are many living on canal boats today have a lock bearing their family name! And well done Kris!

      Also, Andrew's family goes way back to boating on the canals. I think you both do extremely well, with it all. 📚☕️🍷🌱🌿🐈‍⬛

    Congratulations 🎊🎈🎉🍾 You did it!!! Cheers to the Braunston Tunnel Survivors Club!! You did great Kris! Personally I would have been in the boat, flat out on the floor crying. You even passed another boat!!! Loved that Andrew’s mom was there helping with the locks and then the large group of woman watching you. Amazing that Andrew had the Raymond’s tiller pin and the family windlass, which looked immaculate, and that the lock was named after his dad. Andrew and his mom were great. You kicked butt Kris…. and found religion. Have a drink🍷 You deserve it. Thank you.

    It’s awesome how laid back Andrew and his mum are. If I was doing that tunnel in that same situation id probably spend the whole time hiding the babbling in sheer terror so that the two people who are used to tunnels wouldn’t know I was freaking out. You’ve got to feel pretty comfortable with someone to show how obviously scared you are. I’d likely pass out standing up trying to hide it lol

  • @RJ-444
    @RJ-444 7 місяців тому +5

    I've kind of fallen in love with Andrew's mum... and the fact there's an actual lock in the family. The tunnel has made me want to have a cup of tea and a sit down... phew! 😅

    Fantastic episode! The challenge and the daring!
    White shirt remained unstained through lock gears and gates and unsullied beneath dripping tunnel seams! The photography was, as usual, beautiful and shot with unusual angles. The physicality of the locks, the warmth of being with Andrew’s mum, and the terror of the tunnel involved this loyal viewer as nothing else I’ve seen in days. Bronston Tunnel Survivors Club - Huzzah!

    Great job getting all the locks done Kris, imagine the pecs and glutes you’re going to have by the end of the summer😂. Well done in the tunnel as well, I think I’d have had to get off and walk above ground🫣. So nice to see Andrew’s mum on the boat and listening to her tell stories from her time on the boats. Lovely scenery as usual, you both just have an eye to make the mundane spectacular🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

    Wow! Kris, you’re a rockstar! Nice job on the tunnel!! I wasn’t even on the boat and I was sweating. Andrew is the absolute calm in the face of chaos, real or imagined. Never thought 2 boats would fit to pass each other but like Kris said more room than she thought. Rosemary, you’re also a rockstar. I loved hearing your stories about the locks and tunnels. Your family is truly an amazing source of knowledge about long boating. Don’t know if that’s the proper term but you get my gist. Don’t let your knowledge get lost. Record it either on tape, film or by writing. It’s an important piece of information. Well I hope to see you all next time. Be well and thanks for taking us along. Love from the states.❤ ooh, I know…publish a booklet about your time on the canals .

    WELL DONE that girl.
    We have friends that used to live on the canal, near Skipton on the Leeds to Liverpool. We did have a nice day out with them, however I admit I chickened out of going through the mile tunnel at Foulridge, we met them on the other side. This tunnel does have traffic lights, but I'm just too clostrafobic .
    You most definitely deserve a glass or two. CHEERS
    It was nice to see Andrew's mum, I bet she can tell us a few stories about canal life.
    Already looking forward to your next video.
    Regards to you all, cheers Millysue

    The UA-cam algorithm has ‘found you’
    I have been watching some channels over the last few months
    Your canal boat is amazing. It’s how you and others manage to live in what is a confined space but you make it work.
    I suppose it makes you think about ‘clutter’ and ‘ stuff’. My house is full of ‘stuff’ and if I had to downsize I would have to get rid of a lot
    My relative is selling his flat in Notting Hill for around £700k. He has no ‘ties’ and has gone back to painting rather than his stall at Portobello Market
    This lifestyle would be ideal. Moor up at Little Venice
    Anyway ‘keep calm and carry on’
    I live in Birmingham. We have more canals than Venice.

    That was a great video on every level. I loved it - then again, I love this channel. Congratulations on getting through the tunnel and surviving - and for looking impeccable after it all! BTW, I wouldn't recommend wearing Crocs for anything that involves water underfoot. They're great and comfortable but can get extremely slippy.

    • @krisatomic
      @krisatomic  7 місяців тому

      Thank you very much ☺️ yeah you’re right about crocs, they’re super useful for boating when you’re going in and out the whole time so can pop them on and off easily.

One thing yet has Amazed me in this video near the start ... I never but heard about it ... seem a person with such white skin tone ever. Even towards your partner it is vary white + I assume what you call pure English or English Rose! GREAT all around all the best from New Zealand!!!

    Everyone knows its Docs for Locks not Crocs with Socks for Locks. What a nice story about Kendall's (does it have the possessive?) Lock. Wonder what footwear he wore for them? Say hello to yer mum...she's great.

    • @krisatomic
      @krisatomic  7 місяців тому

      Dead at the rhyme, hahaha. Might have to get that done in cross stitch for the wall!
      No possessive on the Lock name for whatever reason.
      Would have been boots in the olden days I reckon. All the photos I’ve seen of working boaters everyone was very smartly dressed, we’re utter slobs in comparison.

    Love the vibes. One small thing maybe because watching on a phone.. maybe turn down the sound of boats, water / main sound of footage to let the music when music is being used, the piano is lovely at the start and would be great when there is less talking and more footage, nonetheless.. this is no criticism I love it!
