  • What's life really like on a Canal Boat in Winter? We get frozen in and start to run out of water, but witness some stunning winter scenes. Starting out at Barbridge, heading to Northwich, plus beautiful scenery outside Aqueduct Marina.
    Paul & Anthony together with Dexter live full time, but manage to work part time, on a 57' Narrowboat, cruising the UK Canals and finding out what it's really like to be Living on a boat exploring the Nature and scenery on some of the best canals and rivers in the UK onboard a Bickerstaffe Narrowboat called Morning Star. #narrowboats #narrowboatlife #Englishnarrowboat #Labradoodle #canal #newnarrowboat #livingonaboat #tinyhome #exploringalterantives #dronevideo

    This vlog is exceptional, stunning drone shots with perfect choice of music. A pleasure to see the beautiful English countryside in midwinter from someone who now lives abroad and misses it. Paul your videography a editing skills are first class not to mention your gift as an artist. I love how you tell us the little things happening in your lives afloat. The pleasure you feel being in nature, no matter the westher, is so nice to see. Best wishes to you both and I hope the weather is currently better than when you made this vlog.

    I'm sitting here with a huge lump in my throat, I have to agree with @Wanda Jarabo, this is such a fabulous vlog!! I've been watching your videos for quite a while now but have never commented before (shameful I know) but just had to after watching this week's installment of your life aboard Morning Star.. Utterly fabulous!!! The drone footage was breathtaking, such gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, tinged with frosty mornings and glistening hedgerows. Dexter is such a lucky boy to have you both, he really is living his best life with you both. Paul, your drawings are breathtaking, please please think about including more of your timelapse filmings of them. I loved them. The drawing of Jasper was incredible and brought a tear or 2 to my eyes. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your journey along the waterways, I look forward to watching them so much. I promise to comment more from now on!! Have a wonderful weekend. xx

      Thank you so much for taking the time out to comment. It really does mean a lot. I loved this one as I remember how beautiful the scenery was at that mooring. We love Dexter and we hope he enjoys his new life aboard. He seems to and always has company. I cried at the Timelapse too. Jasper was such a lovely dog and we were with Pete and Caroline when they had to have him put to sleep. Hope you have a good weekend and thanks again for your lovely kind comments. ❤

    Hi guys, you must feel like you’re world’s away from the hustle and bustle of the city when you view a sunset like the one in this week’s Vlog. You need to be commended Paul on your talent, your artwork is truly amazing. Would you be able to bundle up some of that snow and send it over our way, please? 🤣🤪Winter is my favourite time of the year, unfortunately it will never ever snow where we live. If it did I’d be in my 7th heaven. Happy cruising, Laurel and Keith 👩‍❤️‍👨🐶

    So much to love in this vlog --your realistic art work Paul, Dexter being so good for his haircut, and exceptional scenery. Infact I think its the best scenery Ive seen, the colours etc just wow. Such a cold spell ( bit like we are going through now). Nice to see the route, we cruised the opposite direction last year. Its all made me excited for Wednesday when I'll be out on the cut with my brother for 2.5weeks, Dunchurch to Banbury area. Keep warm, enjoy your week and many thanks to you three xxx

    Pure art. I used to watch these vlogs as an antidote to the 'stress' of life. Now they are simply another view of life. Thanks for unlocking my life. It was nice to see Dexter Dog in puppy mode as well as old man resting mode. Nothing else to say other than thanks, so thanks.
    P.S. when Paul mentions that he is cold I always wonder if he wears a thermal hat, off camera. My hat saw plenty of head time yesterday but I do look ridiculous with it on. TTFN.

    Evening guys,
    Think you better keep that fire roaring again, now the bad weather is up on us again.
    Great views of the sunset and frosty weather.
    Was on Lytham St Annes beach again today. Cold, but blue sky, quiet and nice to walk.
    Paul, have you lost your slipper socks we got you? They'll keep your feet warm, and not look like a slipper man🤣
    Anyway, have a good weekend, and keep warm. xx

      Hey Bill.
      We couldn’t believe how windy it was last night! Kept us awake. Then we woke up to snow this morning. Really cold tonight too. Just when you think you have finished with the fire 😂. Today has been beautiful and a walk on the beach would have blown the cobwebs away!
      We have still got the slipper socks and they are amazing. Definitely prefer those to slippers 😊. Hope you and Russell have a lovely weekend. Keep warm ❤.

    Happy Friday! 🥰 I'd say that the cold makes Dexter very bouncy. He seems so happy. 🤗 It's a while after this video was filmed but it's still cold, isn't it? Glad you guys are on a canal and keeping warm (I hope!) and not on the M62. What a horrible situation.❤ I saw from Dan's postings that Llangollen got quite a lot of snow too. In spite of the cold in this vlog it certainly was a glorious day! It's easier to take the cold when the sun is shining. It's only 37 here now but it's cloudy. I'm getting really anxious for spring. At least my daffodils are pretty and cheery. 😊 I love the time lapse. It is so interesting to see how it's done. Jasper was a lovely little dog and the drawing will mean so much. Have a wonderful rest of the day and keep warm. ❤

      Glad I wasn’t working yesterday. The M62 looked horrific. We didn’t get loads of snow here and most had gone by the late morning. Jasper was lovely. Loved seeing Paul do his time lapse. Hope you have a lovely weekend and here is to spring and more cheery daffodils. ❤

It is very difficult for me to travel (👩‍🦼in my wheelchair), so I appreciate channels such as yours, and love to travel “virtual” 😉 Also, I just want to say how fantastic your artwork is Paul. It is honestly some of the best animal portrait work I have seen!

    Lovely to see Dexter "at the barbers". He looks very smart. I hoped you cleared up the hair!
    I missed your banter this week. Still, Anthony has a very important job and can't be onboard all the time.

      Dexter looked so much better after his trim. The best bit is animals can use the hair to line their burrows to keep warm too. Sorry I wasn’t around much on this one. Still love my job.

    That was lovely! How nice to look back a few months and remind ourselves what our world was like as we transitioned into 'proper Winter' - it had passed me by following the unexpected and very sudden death of my partner and Captain of narrowboat Kia Kaha so it's wonderful to get this second chance of watching life change pre-Christmas. Thank you 🙏. Dexter looks good with his haircut; and the painting of Jasper was beautiful 💙🐾. Stay warm and stay safe Paul and Anthony xx

    You both know I love your Vlogs and there are so many that I have called my favorites. This one definitely qualifies as a favorite. Loved seeing the gorgeous drone work, as well as videos of the canals, sunrise and sunsets. Dexter getting his canal side haircut by Anthony was great. The portrait of Jasper was beautiful. I am sure Caroline and Pete love it. Nice to see how comfortable you are cruising solo, although I know you would prefer Anthony there. You two, along with Dexter, have certainly made a lot of close connections during your travels. Beautiful Vlog ⭐️.

Glad I got to give him a trim. We definitely have made some amazing friends on the network and this has to be, without doubt, the best part of boat life for us.

When I do get the chance to relax and have a half glass of wine, I’ve been watching (binging) this channel that I just recently came across, and I must say that it gives me a nice break and a calm energy.

    Hi Paul, Anthony and Dexter-Dog. What a stunning looking Vlog. A Sharp and well crafted video-ography (is that a real word?). I like your coffee machine. I have seen them many years, especially abroad, but (stupid me) I never knew how they worked. I do now (thank you). I might even buy one. When Paul showed us the canal was icing up, there was (for a canal) a strong flow of water (River Dee effect?). That narrow gap in the canal must be a boaters nightmare, it looks like there must have been a bridge there at some time? Great to see Anthony giving Dexter a hair cut with his arm around his tummy, together with such professional hair cutting skills. Paul your "time Laps" drawing piece was wonderful, such a talent you have. Anthony, your cheese thingy (that you were cooking) looked really yummy. Dexter looked really happy running around. Bless him. How great that there are these fuel boats plowing their wears, A Boaters delight some may say. Love the Liquorice sweets left for Anthony. I love them also. Had some this past week too. Thank you for an amazing Vlog, great scenery and great editing. Take care all three of you.

You definitely should get one of those stove top coffee machines. They are great and the coffee is amazing. I reckon you are right re a bridge over that gap. Dexter looked so much better once he had a trim. The Timelapse was stunning. Jasper was such a lovely dog and Pete and Caroline loved it. The fuel boats are a god send. Such hard work too. Liquorice is one of my favourite sweets. I was gutted to have missed Paddy and Jill. Hope you have a lovely weekend. See you next week ❤

    You certainly had a mix of weather. The pictures where beautiful the recipients must be very pleased. Some lovely scenery as usual, I loved the Robin in the hedge.

      We definitely did Carol. We were iced in for 11 days! Pete and Caroline loved the picture of Jasper. He was such a lovely dog too. The robin was obviously used to people. Didn’t seem bothered by our presence. Have a lovely weekend ❤

    Great video- as always. Would like to see a future video on why you decided to build another narrow boat versus a wide boat. Explaining the differences between the two and cost to buy and run. Perhaps, the company building your narrow boat builds wides as well.

      Hey Rich. Glad you enjoyed. Don’t know a lot about widebeams to be honest and our current and future builders only do narrowboats. The main reason for us is the lack of navigable canals that a widebeam can do. Hope you are having a relaxing weekend ❤

    What a fab video. Beautiful camera work and editing Amazing artwork on your commissions. Isn’t coalpit lane a great place for parking? Fuel boats are an absolute lifesaver. I buy from them whenever I can because we’d be stuffed without them. Thanks for this episode. And thanks again for th3 lif5 from Wrenbury to Hurleston. I hope you got the puncture fixed on the bike.

      Hey Tim. Aww glad you enjoyed the vlog. Coal Pitt lane was a great mooring. Not a bad place to get frozen in and yeah, the parking is great. The fuel boats are life savers and we try and buy from them when we can. Totally lost without them. Your more than welcome, anytime. Fixed the puncture and then Paul got one a few days ago 😂. Hope you have a good weekend and here is to spring! ❤
