      Oh Jackie honestly, we had passed by the electric fence previous to the cow muck and the rope sections were OK to touch so when Paul confidently told me to go under it I assumed it was all ok 🤣 not sure if the bleep worked or if you got a sense of what I called Paul as the electric shot up my arm 🤣🤣

    Wonderful 😄
    After watching you guys I felt a wee poem coming on.
    Cruising up the Shroppie with the wind in our hair.
    Poor Ernie thinks it’s “rubbish” yet loves this odd pair.
    Waiting to see what’s round the next bend,
    What delights that never seem to never end.
    A walk through the county “he said” lets get out for a bit.
    You got the shock of your life and was up to your knees in $#it!!!
    Now look at Paul who’s proud as he can be
    who caught the biggest fish for youtube to see.
    Fixing the tiller and adjusting the catch
    You two guys are an amazing match.
    Such are the woes of a boating life,
    Are made so much better with a perfect wife.
    Looking forward to next weeks saga, to see what you guys tell.
    And as always we do “like subscribed and rang the notification bell”

  • @dalejones4184
    @dalejones4184 5 місяців тому +3

    Hi Liz and Paul, there is a method for reducing the bywash, when going down the lock, once the lock is empty, you open the top lock gate paddles so that the excess water comes from the stern of the boat and not down the bywash. Then once Paul is clear, close the top lock gate paddles and then close the lower lock gates.
    When going up, empty the lock and open the lower gates, then with the gates open raise the top lock gate paddles so that the excess water is flowing through the lock to the bow and not coming from the side at the bywash.
    We tried this last summer and it works well, we did confuse one volly locker!!

      Hi Roger. The writing is a decoupage sheet I used and mixed it with the acrylic paint overlay. 😊

    Great vlog again you three! Liz, you definitely have a talent for painting. I’m a full-time artist and show work in quite a few galleries and your work would be in comfortable company. Nice Roach too Paul 👍

      Thank you, I used to create bespoke pieces during covid times, built a little art workshop in the garden and loved it....but then bought a Narrowboat 🤣 My art supplies, those that I didn't throw away, remain in storage and slowly I'm trying to bring them to the boat but I doubt I'll ever do bespoke artwork again due to limited space on the boat but may open my etsy shop one day in the future if I find the time 🤣 😉😊

    Hello Liz (ladies first), Paul and Ernie. We just passed you earlier and almost got stuck. Paul gallantly rushed to help, but we managed, just. Anyway, it was nice to sort of meet up again after missing you as we left Nantwich, heading South. (You'd be in Middlewich at the festival. Anyway we're on our way to the Badger, just too say we've done it. Maybe will see you along the towpath and Adam can eventually say hello. Loving the vlogs you folk.

      ​@@uponreflection I'll reply as me Dad was replying and accidentally lost the text lol. There's been so much crammed in that it's hard to remember 😳 Nantwich to Market Drayton and had a Chinese, then Gnossall and had pizza at the Boat In. Then Autherley Junction, into Stafford and we did a trip into Birmingham for the evening and got the last train back. That was probably the most memorable. Oh I forgot Penkridge before Stafford. Then onto Stone. Next Stoke but we were held up for 2 days due to a supposed hand being found in the canal and they were searching. Luckily we were moored outside the Plume of Feathers owned by Neil Morrissey. Pub again 😳😁 Then onto Stoke. We went into the city and never again! Man that place was run down. Then we flogged it to Middlewich which was a really hard day doing near to 30 locks. We stopped at the Red Bull pub on route and had the most amazing food nom nom. Middlewich last night. Phew it's been crazy!! So much for a relaxing two weeks! 😂 Sorry I couldn't hear what Paul was saying when we passed so I started to reverse but the boat had other ideas. Last full day tomorrow so we're planning on a BBQ. Just at the Badger now cooling off. One of the boosters said there's a short cut. Didn't realise he meant through the jungle! 😂😂

      A hand found🙄 oh that doesn't sound good. 30 locks is an achievement for sure. Sounds like all in all you've had a fab holiday and the weather cheered up for you as well.
      Have a nice time at the Badger and enjoy your bbq. 😊

      @@uponreflection yeah the hand thing was grim but tbh a few of us thought it might be a false alarm. Well hopefully. We wanted to pack in as much as possible as these holidays aren't cheap! Could have done two weeks in Italy lol. But really wanted to do the canals. Was just a brief visit to the Badger to say we've done it. Lovely walk through the near pitch black Blair Witch woods on the way back! 😵 Thanks and hopefully we'll do another cruise again. Think we need a holiday to get over the holiday haha 😁 I'll be catching up on everyone's YT vids when we get back. 🙂

      Hi Vicky. Glad you managed to get the jumpsuit..ha ha ha never leave it to the last minute when you have a jumpsuit on 🤣 I used to sell them..I used to do bespoke art. I may well sell some on my Etsy shop again but doubt I'd do bespoke art again due to lack of space, I may just paint when I can and then pop it up for sale but I'll wait to get a collection done first. My art page on Instagram is @elizabethjane_art if you are in Instagram, although I don't do the resin or alcohol art anymore as it's a bit hazardous on a boat 🤣I'd post on there if I do start selling again 😊

      @vickyf164 yes unfortunately I'd have no where to store the mugs and would have difficulty trying to source how to get the mugs to the boat to paint. I'll probably stick to mounted A4 sort of sized paintings and then maybe make a few prints as well so people have option to buy original or print copies. 😊

      Hi John, not as far as I know, they have galvanic isolators but I think that's for more when plugged into shore line. I've heard that narrowboats act like a Faraday cage. 😊

    • @uponreflection
      @uponreflection  5 місяців тому

      5 hours ago is when the video goes live on youtube however it was the 7th when we filmed that part. So we film, edit and then upload the video. We are usually about 2 or 3 weeks behind if that makes sense. We are currently in a different mooring spot, 2/3 weeks ahead of when this was filmed. We record over a week or so then it takes about a week to edit. 😊

    Love your videos but I’ve missed a few and it’s hard to see where I’m up to because of the red border around your videos. Watched vlogs have a red line at the bottom so I always go to the last watched by looking for this. Don’t know if the makes sense? I wondered if there is any chance you could change the colour? ❤
