You went past the town she lived and I used to fish off the lock at Somerton. We currently live in Florida, USA and enjoy seeing secenery from our days over there. Cheers and keep up the good work.

    Hi guys, thanks for sharing these calming videos. I think they would be especially great running in the waiting rooms of doctors dentists or hospitals. I also think they would be nice on a big screen in the dining room or gathering room of a senior living place. I'm going to try to figure out how to cast this to our TV. Many thanks for sharing this new experience, Gloria, 🐂

    @Britain by Narrowboat. A very pleasant cruising video, as always with you and Shaun, and on my old working canal routes, but I have to ask, why on approaching the St Vincent Street Bridge, at 36.58, you chose to travel on the "wrong" side of the water and use the left-hand arch and the same thing under the Sheepcote Street Bridge. I found that unusual for two experienced boaters as yourselves. It`s a good job that Albert the old "Harbour Master" for the City didn`t catch you.

    This may seem off the WALL, but, when they demolish old buildings, if they “gently” laid the old brickwork down in sections, could be sold as pavers for yard work with a mini blue Plaque identifying the historical building it came from. Off the Wall Creations by Fox and Fox?
