Accidentally taking the narrowboat to the supermarket on the Trent and Mersey canal (2019)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- The misreading of the guidebook continues today when Annamarie accidentally confuses a bridge for a winding hole and we end up taking the narrowboat all the way to the supermarket at Rugeley. We take advantage of a giant Tesco and buy some groceries. We post some of Annamarie's artworks which can be found at www.artbyannamarie.com

12:54, Munchie's face, like he's just discovered you've forgotten the cat food.
13:03, he's accepted the lack of food, and has lost all motivation.
Also, that fruit for kids to eat while shopping is a great idea!
The fruit is a good idea, but I always get jealous

thanks for sharing, this is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
And the scan your items as you shop is a clever idea!
@@carycoombe3380 - I'm in the U.S. and having worked grocery/retail, that looks like a recipe for shoplifting to me. I'm sure they have something in place to prevent it but I just don't think it would work here.
Watching this 7 months after it was posted, now in the middle of covid-19 lockdown. A leisurely trip to a well stocked supermarket is now a distant dream. Thanks for the memories.
Being a foreign viewer, thanks for the Tesco tour. These are the demands placed upon international stars! Always great vids.
Good Morning from San Francisco. Just a note to let you know how much I look forward to Sunday mornings and each new episode, it is my great chance to escape the noise of the city and enjoy the British countryside. Yours ,Tom
We love San Francisco! Glad you are enjoying the vlogs.
I just realized this morning that you two have become a part of my routine. When I get up Sunday morning before I go out I have coffee and watch your video. Glad to see you ladies know how to put a proper baseball curl on the bill of your caps. Really like the bits of history you pass along.
THX, I always enjoy.
Yay, glad to hear it
That's the fourth time I've watched this vlog, excellent . I think another supermarket visit, or office visit, or anywhere visit would be great. It just adds another dimension to the perfect vlogs you give us. You two are obviously the stars. Thank you.
Thanks for taking us along. These scan-everything-yourself supermarkets are getting more and more, unfortunately. They eliminate work places. I try to avoid them but sometimes it is not possible.
Loved the Tesco visit. Thanks.
Lovely to see Lazy Days full length xxxx she is looking mighty fine. You both look very well. Thank you for todays episode always a joy to watch you both.xxxxxx
She has a little extra length than Ewart but I think the black makes her look flattering.
Always good to catch up with what fellow boaters and vlogers are doing. It's the little snippets of information about where shops and services are that are useful to get from people. cheers.
Tesco's! Next a Mark's and Spark's! We're enjoying lazin' down the canal.
Thank for sharing the shopping. The trolley a big help..
Love all your vids. I am completely in awe of the whole narrowboat thing. I enjoy the experience so and your grocery store is amazing. Funny how a store humors a person.
As always love the flora and fauna shots. Your tees look comfy and cool. Narrow boat girl mentioned on her vlog, that they purchased a new map book and a watering station listed was not present. Beware, may have some boos. Keep those smiles coming!!!
The maps are tricky sometimes
Thanks for taking us along with you on your day. Love the granny trolley! You can never have too many tea bags x
We do love a cup of tea. Thanks for coming along x
From new zealand so always love it when you guys hop off the boat and show me the local stuff,another great vlog guys,watch them all.
Glad you liked it
On our recent visit to the UK, we stayed in Market Harborough for a few days Lovely walkable town with 6 grocery stores within easy walking from our motel and in some cases within sight of each other, in the downtown area. Since we enjoy picnic type meals, instead of eating in restaurants, we were in heaven with so much choice available. There was a Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Waitrose, Sainsbury and a Co-Operative. It was fun exploring them all. I can’t wait to visit the UK again. We had the best time for the entire 10 days of our visit.
Sounds lovely, glad you enjoyed it.
I’m watching you from 70 miles down hill from Lake Tahoe in California. I enjoyed your shopping outing in Tesco. Similar to home, but a little different, especially the scanner. Love❤️ your cats.
Truly, I saved this Narrow Boat experience vid. , sos I could enjoy it to its fullness, and you wonderful wonders served it up... and yes I would love to go shopping with you guys in this new to me wonderful part of the planet... thank you so much....always enjoyed peace and the birds and water rushing along it is mental therapy. As is the water color painting ... these all have helped my mental stress, after all I'm an American dealing w/ the same issues of WWII,
I'm glad we helped a bit with your mental stress and we wish you calm x
I give these girls a thumbs up before I even watch the vid.!!😂 breath of fresh air.🍸🍷🍹🍹❤❤❤
I saw that trolley and went happy homesick on all I miss over here. When we came back here we shipped two trolleys both sadly well used and no longer with us. Thanks for sweet memories of Morrison's and home with the children💞
I LOVE that painting of the three kitties!! .....and I thoroughly enjoy your vlogs. Thank you and lots of love and light from Cape Town.
Thank you
One of the things we love to do anytime we are in a new country is check out the supermarkets! Great idea to take viewers on a tour of Tesco. I was VERY happy to see the Postman Pat van outside. When my girls were little they LOVED to ride in the van alongside Pat. And of course Jess was a bonus (our black and white cat is called Jess...) Great vlog as usual! Take us to Morrisons and all the other markets please - it's a treat to see them for overseas viewers - and they are a bit different from each other.
Glad you liked it
This was the first time I had seen the inside of a Tesco. It is quite an operation! Lunch and all!
I started laughing when I saw my wife's favorite brand of yogurt in your bag!
At least I know where to shop if I ever make it over there!
Glad you liked it.
It was fun to get taken along to Tesco with you both (even though I'm in England so it's not too exotic a visit for me!) I'd love to see more Through The Hedge style videos of your outings off the boat.
Hi from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 Awesome videos. You live in such a beautiful place, Thanks for sharing
You Guys, this was such a fun video! Thank you. Munchie seemed so tired as if he was the one who went to Tesco. Exhausted, just exhausted! See you for the next one.
It's exhausting running a boat- poor Munchy
THANK YOU FOR TESCO! As an overseas viewer I have wondered.
Thanks for taking us along to Tedscos I was very curious, we don't have them where I am from in the US but we do have Aldi's. Love seeing these types of 📹's.
Excellent vlog, most artistic camera work, perfect music selection , truly exciting outing to Tesco's (thank you). Most interesting topics and conversation and so much more.
Thanks
Up early for provisions! A lovely morning run. Thanks for bringing us along.
You're very welcome
the two of you always put a smile on my face
So glad
The story of Palmer the Poisoner is quite fascinating, worth a read if you get time. Bloody Steps not so much.
William Palmer g.co/kgs/yqWKmQ
Lovely film again. Keep them coming 👍
Thanks
Loved catching up with you as always ladies. Take care and don't forget......all your club card points add up!
lol
Thank you for adding a TESCOs Excursion. As "Overseas Hireboaters" (just around the corner from northern Germany) we arrived by plane and weren't able to bring our own food by car as many UK hireboaters probably do. This summer, we had to go shopping quite often, also because of our three teenage kids. I even put up some "shopping" guide for the llangollen in a forum: www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?/topic/102502-food-shopping-guide-for-the-llangollen-canal/
You're welcome, Great sharing too
Been watching for a while but first time commenting. Just to say you two are great to watch. Please don't stop posting.
Welcome - first time commenting. Thanks for watching.
Lovely vlog thanks for sharing
hiya ladies another fantastic video , stay safe along that canal cant wait till next weeks video
Thanks
I so love your videos, they are like comfort food or sitting in your favourite armchair in your comfy slippers with your favourite mug filled with tea. And before i forget the prints of the kingfisher are awesome as they capture so much life :)
yay comfort food. that's so kind.
Never seen a system where you scan as you shop. I guess it saves a lot of time by not standing in line to go through a cashier. Very interesting, thanks for showing us overseas viewers shopping at Tesco! Greetings from 🇨🇦😊👍🏼
Katz 29 The best thing about it is that you can pack straight into your bags as you shop, avoiding the scenario at the checkouts where all your careful trolley management goes to pot and you end up with all the squishy stuff coming through first and getting flattened by tins as you pack!
Thank you for the trip inside Tesco. I follow quite a few narrow boats and they all go shopping but never show inside of any shops. How many birds or cows can you see! Coming from USA I'd even like to see the inside of Aldi to compare. Your bakery and meat sections look so much fresher. A stroll thru a pretty town would be nice too! And your art is so beautiful! It took me awhile to adapt to your charm after cruising the cut and the silver foxes but now I adore you both! I've relaxed my days away during the pandemic with 5 or 6 narrowboats series. I've become addicted to following your lives. My husband thinks I'm nuts but it's better than watching crazy Biden! Even crazier, I sit on my pontoon boat with a gin and tonic watching all of you on my phone! Keeps this crazy old lady out of trouble and off amazon! Happy boating! Oh and the new boat is great! Bye!
Really enjoyed this vlog, you both looked so happy just being together.
We usually are. thanks for watching
when I lived in the UK, I loved Tescos never had those electronics you scan on thou, and a friend made up this song, its goes like . "Let's all go to tescos, where lyn buys all her best clothes". lol
So funny we’ve been saying this all week now.
The hummingbird picture that you showed (I apologize that may not have been a hummingbird) is beautiful.
Would liked to have seen a flowering plant painted behind the bird after you had painted the bird.
Ernest
Glad you liked it thanks.
That you for the Tesco is like we were there 👏💯👏💯😘
I loved that you took us to Tesco! I love the day to day things you share with us as well as the journeys through the beautiful scenery. Completely fantastic vlog as always! Thank you x
It’s always nice having you along x
If Kath makes and drinks the tea, I'm guessing it's a coffee maker for Anna. Lovely to see the canal in bathed in sunshine.
I caught some of your vlog this morning, had to stop, because I was setting off for a classic car show at Stoneyhurst college near Clitheroe, but it was so nice to leave with your smiling faces, then come back to my boat and catch up and still see your smiling faces, especially as the weather is, let's say, typically British for summer. Must say, that the Kingfisher painting looked stunning, nice one AM. Thank you ladies, Sunday......such a good day now you two are in it. xx
Hope the car show was good. And hope you are well x
I was quite impressed with the quickness of the delivery of my Kingfisher from you guys, about 1 week to all the way over on the Left Coast of America.
Excellent, we must have been near a post office.
Hi good to see you today for a little chat while we filled up with water another great vlog I’ve been thinking about the item from Rugeley is a clothes airer because that’s what you was using when I spoke to you and you looked so happy with it 😂 safe travels.
Good to see you too, can't believe that boat hit you. You were way more gracious than I would have been. Take care.
Did you notice the excited calls of the Swallows that were flying around your heads when you moored-up at Tesco’s.
Nature at its best! Thanks for sharing.
I didn't notice, thank you for pointing it out
Through the hedge to Tesco! Great idea.
Loving the uniforms!!!
Great vlog x
Uniforms, lol
Thank You for the walk along in the Market very interesting and surprisingly different/automated !!
It was great to see your shopping store trip. From Jacksonville Fl USA.
Annamarie I get that excited about tea bags too :) you cannot bet a good cuppa.
It's true a good cup of tea is essential and if Kath feels like we are running low she gets very worried
Hmm, local Walmarts in Canada have tried to introduce the scan / pay as you go system...people ignore them, so they gave up. I'd rather encourage employment and human interaction... I won't even use the self-checkouts for that reason
Robert George same here mate. I rather wait in line and go through a regular checkout lane.
I like the self check out when I have 5 (or more) pounds of pennies I've cleaned out of my husband's change drop box! It's great fun pouring them in the change slot, and no chance of irking a cashier by making them count them! Otherwise, I too, prefer human interaction. No, I don't take them to one of those change counter machines, they take a percent and I'd rather spend the 15 minutes getting ALL my value for the time spent collecting them.
Robert George the self check outs and self scanners in our supermarkets are only to reduce the length of the cues not to replace the check out operators, as the cues in our supermarkets are horrendous every day
@@longyarn4288 we have change counter machines and they dont take a percentage we get back what we put in
Just sold me river tug!!! sad i know but after watching your vlogs i think i will have to get another lol im on the look out now lol
Love looking at different Tesco stores, i work in one down south, so it kinda like a busmans holiday ;)
The shots of your English Breakfast looked delicious! Thanks for taking along to Tesco. Very interesting to us in the States. Great job as always!
it was delicious.
I love your kingfisher paintings. Mine has pride of place in the living room. :)
Excellent. Thanks for your support. x
Great vlog as usual. Love Tesco with their clear pricing! I love my nana cart too. Molly and Lily say hi to Munchie and Alice❤️😎👍🇨🇦
Always the best way to start Sunday - with the lovely narrowboat girls. Bit of a spend at the supermarket but expect it will last a while though.
Yes, we like to stock up
I'm from USA and I have seen all your videos and I love them all love your paintings too 🙋♀️😁🗽
Excellent, thanks.
awe poor munchy is upset because you haven't got the cat food, also one of our cats called Simba checks the shopping trolley when my wife comes home from shopping for their food or treats and once he finds the treat sticks he takes them out of the trolley and runs off with them, but if he gets hold of a bag of treat biscuits he'll grab a bag run off upstairs and into one of the bedrooms where he'll rip it open and help himself, I know we shouldn't laugh at him for doing it but he's so funny at doing it as he's so sneaky when he gets them, he'd make a good cat burglar(excuse the pun)
Another enjoyable vlog😀👍🏻🥰I love coconut milk too, especially with cereal #funfact have a good week
Lovely video ladies !!!
I did not know about the Tesco app. I need to shop with a Tesco app. Truly exciting. Great vlog. Love it to bits. Kevin
Happy to help
Car food and cat food dispenser? Lovely work ladies😘😘
Yay -- I didn't ask for Tesco, but I was just thinking that would be interesting. I loved M and S food court when I was last in the UK. Thanks for the vlog - lovely scenery from a lovely couple. Just thinking about all the plastic boxes -- you should take a few bags and leave the plastic with the shop. We've gone all "no single use plastic bags" here in Qld but the supermarkets are putting fruit in those boxes which seems to be ridiculous. I'm going to give them back at the checkout. :)
Beautiful paintings!!!!!
If we have the back pack and a bit of a walk we do leave the packaging behind. But in this case the Tesco was so close we unpacked on the boat.
My favourite Sunday ritual - put the kettle on, feed Lemmy cat, put the bread in the oven and while it's baking watch your vlog. Enjoyed shopping with you 😁. Love Tesco at Rugeley but we always overshop and have to get it back to the boat. Note to self: need a nanna trolley x
Every one needs a nanna trolley. Revolutionary. And when you are shopping all the other nannas smile and nod at you. win win
Sooo you scan and checkout yourself? That’s great! We have the cats, too. 💕
The Tesco Extra was expensive. You should have stopped at the Radford In Stafford. Not only would You have got a great Breakfast but there Is a Aldi across the road. You would have got twice as much for less the money. Good luck with the rest of the Journey. We bought a boat up from Surrey to Stafford In one Week, It was amazing to back on a Boat again. It was called "The Jessey" Look out for Her Shes Blue.
Love, love the Tesco tour. The way you were able to check out was marvelous. We don't have anything close to that in US..
Love the art!
Thanks
Matching outfits ( hats and tops , well almost 😁 ) and munchies fed up face was a picture I assume because you had forgotten the his treats etc . The kingfisher water colour was very good your a talented lady .
I love it when we accidentally match
Your sacked girl's you nearly made the dreaded Tesco's look an exciting place to visit! You should suggest to them that they turn the car-park into a marina lol, carry on with your great life style, O bye the way the Kingfisher fantastic
Christina Collins was travelling,by canali from Liverpool to London to join her husband. She was murdered by 3 of the crew of the barge near the steps close to the aqueduct over the River Trent. Still known today as the "Bloody Steps". Two of the accused were hung, the other being transported. She is buried in St. Augustiine' s churchyard. Colin Dexter used the story as the basis of the Inspector Morse story called "The Wench Is Dead"
I think you two are adorable, and then you have cats. I'm in love with your kitties. Lol
It was neat seeing you shop, strange I know, but I am in Nebraska USA so I thought it was neat!
Lovely video ladies.
Tesco stock the best Mac & Cheese sauce made by Homepride. Grandkids love it and was great to take camping 🏕 So easy to use. Have no idea what you ladies bought but a most enjoyable vlog. Glad you’re enjoying your new home. 🤗👍
I haven't tried that so thanks for the recommendation.
YAY! For Nana trolleys.
Indeed
By the way, I loved your painting of the kingfisher. You are very talented.
Thank you
We passed your boat moored at Gailey, we’ve just been up the shroppy and now heading along the Trent and Mersey - May de you again ladies - poppy cat is also onboard 😁 x
Fancy forgetting cat food! Poor Alice and Munchie.
They'll never forgive us now
The full English breakfast!! I only get that in the airline clubs in Heathrow on my way to somewhere else. :-(
Dear Both, thank you so much for these informative and entertaining episodes. I have been concerned for a while since you last left Rugeley about your adorable cats, not having any further mention or appearance of them en-route to Stone until now on your return. Indeed I would worry sick about losing them through the hedge! Also some of the canal water is highly suspect and not ideal to take a dip! There are lovely voles in and around the canal but also rats and they do cause disease, sorry I'm sure you know this already, I'm just a worrier.
Feeling a little sad and nostalgic having watched your Rugeley experience, I used to live a short walk away from your moorings and know that stretch of the Trent and Mersey so well from the tow path (so many lovely walks including Cannock Chase) to cruising on a 45 ft steel narrow boat (Ermenilda) purchased from Canal Cruising Company at Stone back in 1982! She was moored at the fruit farm Little Haywood by the bridge, then moved to beside the Plum Pudding pub at Armitage - BOG TOWN - ha ha....
If you are still near Rugeley you can visit the grave of Christina Collins where she still haunts St. Augustine's churchyard, Christina was murdered on the Bloody Steps beside the River Trent aqueduct by three drunken boatmen as she was making her way to London in 1837.
The Rugeley Poisoner Dr. Palmer is said to haunt locations in the town where he committed his terrible crimes.
Since 2005 I moved to Yorkshire and particularly miss the canals of the midlands, and so many memories! There are alas no canals around Scarborough, the Leeds Liverpool and the Aire and Caulder probably the nearest with a short stretch of canal at Driffield near The Wolds. Now I'm feeling very nostalgic indeed but it is great to see much of the area has not lost its charm and you two kind soul mates sharing your enchanting Narrow Boat tales with the rest of us. Please take care of yourselves and the felines xx Jayne Anne xx
P>S Shugborough Hall is worth a visit from Great Hayward easy but busy moorings for pubs The Clifford Arms and Lamb and Flag and Red Lion .... I believe they serve coffee these days.... xx
All cats are safe. I'm a worrier also. Unfortunately you all would be the first to know if anything happened.
@@TheNarrowboatExperience Love and best wishes to you all, both two and four legs on your travels. Jayne
Looks like a crowded Cemetery but I heard people are just dying to get in there.😎
But the poor folks that live on the other side of the canal are not allowed to be buried there. Sad isn't it.
Child Parking? Where one parks their child while doing their shopping? Excellent idea. LOL
That was informative....never knew about the phone app...makes it easy to keep up with how much you are buying...and paying simple....I try not to use 5he s3lf check out lanes in stores here....because I don't work there and I think about all the cashiers they let go or do not have scheduled to work....that is what the world is coming to....
Beautiful scenery along the canals....the baby ducks, geese sure are growing.
I am curious about the possible bug netting on the horses at frame 16.58...I never knew there was such a thing....is that what it was? If you know or someone else knows?
I tend to stock up on items that keep....then shopping is simple during the bi weekly shopping....but then again I have more storage on land....
Enjoy you boat journeys ...you must be having the time of your life ....
Glad you liked it
Wikipedia says those are horse rugs and the type seen in this video are mainly to keep flies off, and to prevent the sun from bleaching the coat. 🤓
Love a granny trolley!
Yes, and our just came with the boat.
This is the first video I have seen of yours. Lovely viewing, very informative, and a real trip down memory lane, in Tescos. Very interesting. Look forward to finding more of your adventures. Have you been to the Peak District, or foxton Locks yet.
Welcome aboard. The peak first canal is in our list
Palmer the Poisoner! It's the only thing Rugely's famous for!
I beg to differ. Rugeley is twinned with Western Springs, Illinois and in July 1962 the towns made telephone history on national television when the chairman of Rugeley Urban District Council made the first telephone call via the new Telstar satellite to the Mayor of Western Springs.
Hi ladies this is Angie and ray from knot a Yot .. we met you in Ellesmere in Tesco in the spring. We are travelling to Debdale Marina and we passed through Gailey yesterday and we saw your boat.... or was it.? Just wanted to say hi and we love the vlogs. We are heading down the Coventry and oxford canal then up to Foxton locks. Take care x
Hi, good to hear from you again. Hope things are going well.
Who was in charge of turning at the winding hole bet the cats weren't pleased 🙈😄
Ladies, rely nice to view you cruising , in matching attire, well smart. Cheers
We agree!
Blue rope and a passing train! Knew this was going to be a great video right from the start!!
Glad you liked the train, I put it in there for train enthusiasts
@@TheNarrowboatExperience
Are you sure it wasn't solely for fans of the blue rope? A secret and little known group.😎
So beautiful there,! Nice video, I've often wondered if a person could make holidays from backpacking and or hiking on some of the canals? Seems like a lot of trails too walk.
i've often thought of hiking the canals, it's on my 'to do' list.
