That market is so cute!! Also, as a happily solo woman in my 30s I also find myself interested in events only to show up and discover that I am surrounded by families with children. It does make me feel a bit out of place sometimes!
It was a lovely day 🥰 haha, you gotta do what you gotta do!
To evercurious Michelle: you go ahead and be happily solo. It might not be a total bed of roses with the families with kids.
Just focus on what you went to an event for, and enjoy yourself.
❤
You're like a sweet little old couple with your day trips and packed sandwiches, so wholesome ❤
Such a fun day and your mum could easily pass as your sister Amy, she looks so young. Hope Wes had a good time with 2 women to look after, but then Wes is a star.
haha she will be pleased with that!
He cooked us a lovely meal of course 😊
I used to live in Milton Keynes and loved taking visitors from the USA on the Steam Train in Leighton Buzzard ! Such fun. Love your vlogs. Greetings from Pennsylvania
I love this! The idea of the boats together as almost a flea market. Is astounding. Love you guys so much! ❤
What a lovely weekend visit, so many smiles, so much happiness. Thank you for sharing with us.❤
That mascot was truely the stuff of nightmares 🐰😳
That old car might be the kind our narrowboat engine is from!! 😁
Stu is very jealous that we didn't go on the steam train 😬
Loved your vlog are usual. What was the lovely guitar music played during the train journey.😊🚢🛥
Great market with some really lovely things, your mum's dogs look so cute. 😊
Thanks for the super programme today. We love the railways and will need to include L B R on our next trip to UK. Thank you for all the time and effort put into this programme. Much appreciated😊
Our pleasure! We are really glad you enjoyed it 😊🚂
Peas shoots looking happy, please don't die! (🫛yum🥗) 🌱
I want an English fairyhouse!!!
After 2 months of binge watching, I have finally caught up. I really enjoy your vlogs and look forward to watching you do all the canal's
ah thank you for watching them all! ☺️ so glad you like them!
❤🎉😅 you are outstanding in the UA-cam channel for amazing advancement in content and editing. There’s an old saying you are in the groove. Fabulous. Thanks for sharing this. Entertaining. Colorful and appropriate music 🎶. Fabulous work.
Oh my goodness, so sorry to hear your child eats grass! Hahaha! Great video lots of fun.
You two would love the isle of man, plenty of wonderful old steam trains, trams and horse trams too.
Your bank holiday looked fantastic 💛
oooh yes, the isle of man is on our travel bucket list for sure! 😊 thank you for watching x
@@BoatTime Hi Guys My Mother came from the I,O,M, hence my cristian name Ramsey _______ I'm glad she didn't come from Notting Hill Gate !!!!
I’m glad that you weren’t on that green Diesel engine that you showed briefly, called “Red Rum” - that’s “Mur-Der” spelled* backwards sooo, there’s that 😳
Thanks for sharing this video with me, much appreciated as always.
🙂🐿🌈❤️

Another lovely vlog , thank you. I do look forward to Tuesdays and Fridays. Your trip on the train reminded me of a trip at Christmas on the Nene Valley Railway that runs alongside the River Nene near Peterborough. Although it was a morning trip we had afternoon tea on board and a visit from Father Christmas. There was even a sherry or a whisky to keep the cold out. Well worth it any time of year, if you’re ever on the Nene. X
Such a fun day! I remember when we voted for Rufus' outfit. Wes, while I favored your choice I must say, Amy, the bandanna was the correct choice for this cute train adventure. Thanks for including us!
haha you're right 😉 the bandana fitted in well!
Thanks for watching and for being a chip pal! 🥰🍟
Very fun video. Double sided wheels also don't take the curves as well and would throw sparks more as they rub the rails.
Awww no way. My first car was a 205 in light blue 😂. Back in 2001 and it was old then!
Steam trains are cool! 🚂 But planes are cooler 😎 ✈️ 😂.. That floating market looked great! We've not been to one yet but we will!! Thanks for another great video 😊
Lovely to go past Gregory’s Girl this morning, hope you enjoyed the pastries :)
Nigel and Ann
Thank you so much for them, they were our lunch and afternoon treat today! Perfect 🥰
It was lovely to meet you! Enjoy your trip and hope you can get out on your boat soon
Hi Both, Saw you both on my telly. Beleave your TV stardom starts next Monday at 4pm channel 104. Are you aware that's when it's on? You are both Stars, hi Kids XXxx
That's so exciting! Cant believe the adverts are out, its all getting real haha!
The show starts next Monday and its following a few people a week, so our week is 13th May! But everyone was great on it so we are excited to see them all x
Love a good market and a Choo Chooo.nice...😊😊😊
Thanks for taking us along on your train trip and with all the information, very interesting. when I hear Leighton Buzzard always makes me think of the Band with the same name, check them out if you dont know them, rather a bit before your time mind. Fantastic market, really beautiful craft items for sale. I am a crafter and like to get new ideas. What gorgeous little furry visitors and they seemed very much at home on the boat. Big furry Love Bubbles. Cuddles to the Bairns. E x
Big up the floating market🎉. Saw GG moored up at Campbell Park, welcome to MK. Wolverton has a fantastic museum, and it is definitely well worth a visit. The front of our narrowboat is in there as it was cut off and donated for a display. New half put on. We are a "Cut and shut boat😂. "Or really old 1908 and new bit". Keep doing what you guys do, such fun to watch. Looking forward to your TV appearance.
There're so many legs on the boat
I’ve got a hankering for gravy now 😂
So when you say it's a bankhol fri/mon. It's actually a very significant Christian Easter weekend.. 😮❤❤🙏
It was! But we don’t celebrate so just a bank holiday for us 😊
Such a great day out, thank you so much for sharing it with us 🥰
Thanks for watching along with us! 😊
Train Time!
choo choooo! 🚂
As far as husband knows, the rims on the train wheels are only on one side so they can pass over the points.
You are so much like your mum Amy 🥰
😊 thank you! Proud to be 🥰
Never has a daughter looked more like her mother than Amy. Miss the Twitch streams too BTW. Cheers kids.
We have a similar train here in Norfolk that runs between Wroxham and Alysham 9 miles 😊
ahh I think I might have been on that growing up as my grandparents live in Cromer! 😊🚂
What a lovely day out .x
🥰😊
Don't worry Wes, I had your back but we were out-voted (Rufus did look cute in the bandana though 😊). And don't worry, my kids eat grass too 🤣. Your days out are like my escape whilst I'm sitting on the sofa with the dogs - keep doing what you're doing, it's great to watch 👌👍
Haha, the bandana was always gonna come out on top 😉 Aww thank you! So glad you enjoy them 😊 we appreciate you!
Awe, Amy your mum's puppies are cute. Great little market, amazing lace making and a super day out on mini rail way. 💚
Such a cool video. Thank you ❤
thank you! ☺️
Glad your mom had a lovely visit and all the pets got on. What a grand day out you kindly shared I love trains next to boats thanks a million luvto all t the oldies 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍
Did you know John Travolta went on that train with his family a few years ago.
A lovely day out and a great train ride guys. Nice to see u have time with your mum. Amy. Xx❤❤

Hi Amy and Wes. What a great Easter weekend you had. The market was so nice and it’s good to support the traders. That train ride was brilliant and great value too. Take care. Nick
Steam railways are just magical.xxxx
What a great day out. You had lovely weather for it too ☀️
We were! It got us into a false sense of security that summer has here haha!
That train race was AWESOME! :D What a cool place
Watching from texas ,you guys make such a good couple,another good vlog.
Glad you like them! thank you 😊
Another lovely vlog, it looked great fun and a lovely sunny day for it too. Looking forward to seeing you guys on tv, it starts next week. X
Thank you Shirley 🥰 not long to go now! 🤞🏻
Your mom's dogs are adorable!
Loved the train ride, but curious what you, as vegans, eat for sandwiches? I'm vegetarian and a good "sammie" is something I miss! Also what is your meat substitute for your roast dinner? I think the UK and Europe have better vegan/vegetarian options than we do in the US.... jealous!
Not sure but I'd think that the wheel sides for the rail wheel question probably act like brakes but you have have one but maybe two would create drag?
💜💙💚
Doops is certainly a very tolerant rabbit, hanging out with three dogs.. My (rescued) rabbit does not tke any strangers lightly 😉
haha he has always been such a chill character! Our rabbit we used to have was the complete opposite, she hated everyone and everything haha!
Loving it ❤
Looks like you both had loads of fun on that train x
Ah yay, we thought of you when we were there! It was a great day 😊🚂 thank you for watching
@@BoatTime aww yeah it’s a shame you can’t experience the one I work for but it’s not as long as some, only 1.75miles and middle of nowhere haha.
Some of these railways I never even heard of, never heard of the one you visited.
I’m still volunteering at the Lincolnshire Wolds but also now doing training to become a volunteer tram conductor at the Crich Tramway museum near Matlock… busy busy haha
Best wishes, Marc x
@@discoveryadventuresuk thats awsome! 😊😊🚂🚂
Wish I could go to a market. So many great handmade items.
Love the small businesses and handmade items too! 😊 etsy is a good option
Hi guys greetings from Michigan
Hey Larry! 👋🏻 hope you are well! thanks for always watching and commenting 😊

Wheels - possibly (though the train oracle here isn't sure), because the single flange design is usually 'enough' on fixed tracks. On uneven, temporary tracks it isn't. I think its also more likely that double flanged wheels would catch on points where the track splits, making a derailment at the points more likely. But thats me guessing. Generally, successful engineering is 'sufficient' rather than 'excessive' - double flanging all wheels would cost more in terms of metal and work!
Ooohhh of course! The double ones probably can’t handle track splits and junctions. And just more material to make. Thanks for the answer! 🥳
@BoatTime most welcome :) just seen you in the TV trailer, cheered!
@@emmajudson5945 very exciting!
I love how wholesome you, but where are the bears??
They went on holiday so we split up from them for a few weeks 😊 don't worry they'll be catching us up!
@@BoatTime oh good
I have a Nissan 1400 no central knocking no aircon no automatic gears and no radio
ah nice! we went in one when we visited America, so cool! 🛻
