    Perfect for him and such a clever design.

      Hi Eric, thank you so much, I think the art work works well with our interior colours, not to everyone's taste though but I do love abstract art..you can make up what you see in it each day 😉 Ernie can't wait for some nice summer sun next year so he can look all cool under his brilliant gift. How lovely of Nigel to take the time to ensure little Ernie is protected from the elements. Hope you're well and having a good week 😊

      @ i love your art work! It ties in all the colors of the interior and it sparkles with energy, so good. I think it should only suit your own tastes as it is your own home. We should all be more individual and confident with having a personal taste and style. So i think you did an amazing job! 👏👏👏

    My first thought was oh god Paul's spilt the paint down the wall, then i realised it was a wonderful work of art it is.
    Its bad news that Ernie's pumpkin was bigger than the fish that Paul caught last week, another great vlog.

    • @uponreflection
      @uponreflection  2 дні тому +1

      🤣 I can see how you thought that with the art, to be fair the camera doesn't really do the artwork that greater justice. It looks better in real light as you can see the detail and the texture. The stork of Ernies pumpkin was bigger than that fish 🤣😊

    Aww I love robins ❤ there's a robin been coming back to my garden a few Winters now. It took a couple of years to realise I swear it's befriended a black bird. Because every Winter the robin comes back and low and behold there's always a lone blackbird with it. They chirp literally all through the night for a few months. It's so cute.

    • @uponreflection
      @uponreflection  День тому +1

      Oh that's so lovely to think they met up every year in your garden. I can imagine their bird song. Very cute 😊

    • @Badjester1
      @Badjester1 День тому

      @uponreflection yeah it always feels very special. The second year I saw the black bird in the tree chirping and thought that's the same bird?! The third year I thought that's definitely the same bird! I've sat and watched TV late on and seen both the robin and black bird flying around. Very odd that they're active all night too. By late October early November I hear the chirps through the night and think aww they're back. Too cute! The bit that confuses me is they're not supposed to live that long. So I don't get how a robin and black bird show up every year at the same time.

    Good evening from myself and Earl, great vlog again Paul Liz. I loved the part of Ernie tasting Paul's bread l don't think Ernie knew what to do, l was expecting him to do a spit the dog impersonation 😂😂. Loved the new art work Liz out standing 🎨. I'm afraid Earl didn't last through your vlog before his snoring started 😂. Have a great few days and take care.

    • @uponreflection
      @uponreflection  2 дні тому

      I have to agree with Earl on this one, not one of my favourite videos this one so tell him not to worry about falling asleep 🤣 That bread that we gave Ernie was a little piece and his reaction was just comical wasn't it 🤣 thanks for the artwork comment it looks better in person as you can see the details, it suits our boat interior well 😀

    Your painting reminds me of the Galaxy ,relax and enjoy for hours.All l’ve done is paint the shepherd’s hut prior to moving it (probably disintegrate 😂)Maybe you could attach your camera to Ernie’s umbrella mount ? The Mackerel Sky in the background was fabulous.

    • @uponreflection
      @uponreflection  2 дні тому +1

      Hi Anthony, that a good idea with regards to the camera on the umbrella stand. The artwork looks better off of camera in my opinion. I'm looking forward to some nice summer light to take some better photos of it 😉😊

    Dear Liz, Paul and Captain Ernie
    Liz, belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!🎂🎼🎵🎶You are like a fine wine; you get better with age.
    If you are not familiar with the American Robin do look them up on Uncle Google, they are so different from the British Robin. Personally I prefer your Robin ours tend to be aggressive and noisy.
    Having watched other vlogs, Harecastle tunnel is quite the adventure. Who ever is out on deck should wear clothing that can repel water as there is lots of dripping from the ceiling. Also having extra lighting, besides the bow light, will be an asset. OMG I keep forgetting that us viewers are a week or two behind you so you will know all of this about the tunnel by now.
    Captain Ernie you will need to write a nice letter to thank those kind boaters for making you such a GREAT gift, what an invention to keep the sun and rain off you.
    Finally Liz your artwork is fantastic.

      Thanks Mark for the birthday wishes 😍 I've just looked up your Robin. A lot thinner than the British Robin it appears. Yes as this point we were about 4 weeks ahead so Harecastle has been done and uploaded ready for your viewing next week. So spoiler alert: We survived 🤣😉
      A lot of people find is quite strange that we have a talking dog...not sure if we are ready for the world to know he also writes letters 🤣 but he did send them a message via Instagram 😉

      Honestly Steve, Ernie proper exaggerated that bread chewing, it was comical, he was given a tiny little piece 🙈🤣 I love our seasons, you really appreciate them when living aboard, autumn for the beautiful colours, winter for the quiet canals and crispness, spring for the new lease of life and summer.....mmm I'd say for the warmth but we've not had a great deal of that since we purchased the boat 🤣

    Hi Liz, Paul & Ern. I do not always comment, but your vlogs are consistently entertaining, and funny. A lot of non-boaters think it is sexist, because the guy does the 'easy' bit on the boat, while the partner struggles with stiff paddles and gates. Perhaps you can let them know why it is what it is?

    • @uponreflection
      @uponreflection  2 дні тому +1

      Hi there, thank you for watching and commenting, we are glad to hear you enjoy the videos. Personally I prefer to be on land doing the locks..like I said to a boater the other day...I can't get blamed for sinking land 🤣 jokes aside though, I prefer to do the lock operation as I'm not confident in steering the boat into the narrow locks. Paul does the majority of the boat steering and controlling so he knows the boat better then me so knows how far forward to take it, when to take it back to keep it safe in the lock. 😊

    • @sharonlewis555
      @sharonlewis555 2 дні тому +2

      I'm a non boater and I think there is no such thing as easy job. It's a lot more involved to steer the boat into the lock and keep it off the underwater hazards. It's also a lot of work to work the locks. Keep up the good work. Love the vlogs!
