Why watch mainstream TV when there are quality people making quality videos such as this' wishing them well.
I think they are lime kilns
The pace and gentleness of your vlogs are just wonderful.
Thank you 😊
Put things into context don't they...
there is a wave of banning wooden heaters has it affected you as i believe its England
Thank you! I've am pretty ill at the moment, some serious treatment to come, but lying here in my sick bed, watching you three has been a joy. You really are special people, please treasure what you've got, it's a magical potion of love, humour, simplicity and empathy with people and your environment. Ben please play and sing more, you are very entertaining and charismatic. Much love to the three of you, for those healing powers my body craves and again THANK YOU!
@ivash-dc7xw Hello! Just came across your comment and noticed you wrote that you were ill and in for some future treatment. Hope all went well and you are on the mend. Best wishes from the US.
We, my wife, 2 small dogs & I cut the cable 3 years ago. Saving $$$$and enjoying Ben, Emily, and cat, remember we have dogs. And are extremely happy. Too. Wished it got as cold here. In Nor CA.
The building you're looking at at 7:22 on your walk looks like a lime kiln
Mr Google says t'canal were built to transport lime, so seems probable. you'd expect there to be a limestone quarry of sorts nearby though.
They look like lime kilns, they would have been dug out straight onto boats
I'm annoyed. We never get any snow, even when it's forecast, but you had some wonderful crisp snow and it looked magical . You make some lovely videos. So glad we found your channel.
Ha ha. When Ben said - “let’s go upload”
It made me immediately say -
We’re going up-road to upload 🙂
Thank you for sharing your adventures. Much appreciated.
🙂🐿🌈❤️

Alan’s Very Magical Cat Hair.
Don’t delay, get yours today 👍🏽
The old building (at 7:30) seems to be an old brick factory where bricks were made. The openings come from ovens in which the bricks were baked. Here in the Netherlands there are many along the major rivers, where people dig for the clay that bricks are made of.
My # 1narrow boat channel. Two observations; You two truly seem to love each other and both of you seem to have adapted to and like narrow boating on the canals. South Carolina
Nice chemistry right? Ben's gentle music is lovely too.
@@billpotter9716 I have just bought his album, it's sssooo beautiful 🎶 ♥
Oh, I want one, an Alan draft excluder. If I can’t have Alan…I will settle for an Alan look-alike.
Alan's not a draught excluder! She's obviously a bread bin 😁
Alan is extraordinary in the best way. I really only watch it for her, you two have supporting roles. Charming tho! Lovely quiet fun and a real talent for gold leafing the ordinary.
Alan draught excluder! .....You know it makes sense.... I need one in my life and so does everybody else.
you both know this needs more Alan, she is the star of the show...
Hi guys another brilliant video, alittle confused as to what Benny is going through,,just loved the mad half hour with the cleaning,,you pair are so deadpan funny at times ,,your wasted on UA-cam I think TV could do with your kind of humour,,the spontaneous quips just have me in stitches,hope you have a great time in Portugal.
Regards from Hereford
Alan (she is great)
These episodes are must see tv for me. The addition of the drone footage makes the flavor of the surroundings more palpable. The special effects were fun and adorable. I was wondering if you’d consider creating a wee Alan like one of your beans? I’m at the take my money stage just thinking about it; 😂
That would be exploiting the wee beastie, unfortunately. Life is a constant conundrum, isn’t it? 😉
Very pleased you are enjoying the vids especially with the added fancy drone shots 😀 hmm Alan bean pets, that may be a step beyond our managings, and Alan is very territorial so may not stand for the mini mes bound to litter the boat if we did... !
@@BenandEmily 😆😂🤣
@@BenandEmily😂🤣 I'm sure she won't mind if it gets her extra special cat treats... work with a local artist to produce one... they will sell like hot cakes 🎂 🥮 🍥 🥞 🧁
Uhh, I've heard ice breaking in a narrow boat scrapes the blackening off the hull! If it freezes sit still until it opens up.
I'm watching you on a train from Frankfurt back to Hamburg, slightly intoxicated by south-german Beer, so my perception might by somewhat enhanced, but I have to say this is the best episode ever! Absofuckinglutelylovely! This is Cinema verité!
I would buy that draft excluder.
You were looking at the Alpraham Brick Kilns across the canal before the winding hole 👍
You two are CUTE 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Good guide to tell a stoat from a weasel,,,,a weasel is weasely recognisable and a stoat is stoataly different,, great to spot them ,,lovely video as always thanks for sharing xx
I’ve got a barn cat identical to Alan, called Clio. She hunts mice all day, and sleeps in a heated tack room at night. She’s a real character like Alan. Keep up the great work 👏
Even their junk food is healthy lol just a thought , their a perfect example that if you really apply yourself , we always surprise ourselves at what we can do , teamwork make’s the dream work lol
that is what you call shopping wow I love your blogs just not enought of them shame there cant be more but i suppose editing these are an absolut nightmare. I have never done anything like these bloggy things lots of people do them .......take care and I hope you are having a lovely time in Portugal happy holidays take care looking forward to the holiday blog. take care debbie xxxxxxx😺alan in a box
I would have said lime kilns but they don’t look quite right. Lots of Alan the rockstar so yayyyyyyyyy Alan.
A Friday treat, seeing your vlog. Hope Portugal is nice
Thanks so much Mel! 😊🌟
Thankyou! 😊
Lovely to see you both again and a nice insight to boat life. Looking forward to the wee van trip.
I'm in Canada, and due to our changeable climate, we are always aware of hoe things like, heating, water, cooking and refrigeration are functioning in our habitats. The need to fix things expensive, is paramount.
That said, could you explain how things with your boat work?
Will
Emily, I love your smile.
Very nice vlog wit great views….and Allen making his best apearrence……
In the bleak midwinter
Can we get "CANT HAVE A ROAST WITHOUT DIJON" on a t shirt 😂
Looks pucker on a narrow boat with a shower and a bath on board its better than a sailing boat to and what beautiful places that you visit and Beautiful views too I wish I was snowed in on a boat to with a cosy log fire to looks great to
Yes, yes you should!
I think there is an interesting parallel between a couple living an untraditional life (not a 9-5 no mortgage) and documenting it on a non traditional platform (the “gatekeepers” give us never ending versions of the same three dramas, talent shows, and comedies) I hope you guys don’t find this too onerous because we love sharing your journey. Best of luck from across the pond in Texas.
9 till 5 is a dream in itself! How about some reality 8 till 8 plus travel that's more realistic and less money than a "office job" clock in and out
little yellow pig in Nantwich. Lovely café. Hope you took away some sweet treats 😋
Lol brewer i knew nearly blew up he kittchn,they do go of ike firecrackers sometimes and no i'm "not clearing up wet"
Hi it’s a old brickworks where the small arches are in bunbury
I really liked this one. It's not all about moving, but about enjoying life.
Fifth Element is one of my fave movies, good taste.
hooray you are back xxx debbie
Thank you for this episode. :)
It's a cat's life all right very relaxing guys cheers n beers Marty Australia
Nice one 15 k smashed 20 next COM ON BIG UP ALAN IN HER HOUSE 🙂🎸😺🥕✌️
Any merch with Alan's face * baot life is purrrrrfect* or * boat life is cool for cats*
I love watching you to you make me smile you are so nice Maggie Manchester xx
Am hoping that was a taste of the second Album being composed?? We need more tunes!! 👏👍♥️
Lovely video both. Thanks for sharing 👍🥰
Lynn here on Hubby's phone 😏, Awww I just Love you two , can't wait for Portugal, bring it on , maybe the heat will bring new music Benny ? Take care XX 🤗❤️
I live near Mt Doom in the central North Island of Aotearoa/New Zealand, and currently hunkered down with my cat Lynda, binge watching your channel before cyclone Gabrielle hits later today😜. In the early 1980s I lived in High Farnhill above the Leeds and Liverpool canal, and loved watching the narrow boats go by. I hope to see you go down that route sometime.
Ben's gone cleaning stir-crazy.
Yay that time again fabulous ☺️
Small animal in the hedge looked more like a weasel as a stoat would be bigger with a black tip to it's tail
Watching Alan remember how walking on packable snow is. 😃 Happy to see you three! My Qun mk2 arrives monday, Benny! 😁
She's sweet isn't she : ) oh wow, I don't actually know what that is! What is it? Cheers ben
Ben I love your music, it has a Beatles kind of vibe to me.
I noticed that too ;-)
enjoyed all of it but especially the bit at 17:12
Beautifully presented guys I have two other fav vids I watch regularly you are in my top three 😊❤ your cat is so cute I recently found you guys can’t remember how now glad I did we going to get our dream it will come )
Always enjoyable - thanks
Absolute best vlog yet 😍 Love how natural and honest you are. So watchable x
Your footage of the canal winter wonderland makes it look so mystical and beautiful. Alan is too cute venturing out in the snow.
Hi just found your Chanel lived on my boat on the cut for 36 years ,worst winter got down to _15 and cut froze for 3 months,but loved it
Love watching your vt's you are so good at what you both do .
I like others really appreciate your filming and sharing your adventures along the canal.
That bread looks soooo good, the crackly crunch of Benny's Breads with some butter sounds great on a cold morning. Have fun in Portugal.
Great vlog, I used to knit sausage dog draft excluders 😂
I enjoyed your somewhat domestic vlog, I think you both make most things into a joy which is contagious 😘🙏🏻❤️hope you’re enjoying your trip away & Alan is happy boat sitting with Dad xx 😻
I love Benny’s music. It’s really soothing. Hello from Canada!
Glad you're keeping warm in the cold days, your boat is so cosy & homely.
I think it was a mink that you spotted, they're very common in the UK since being released from mink farms years ago.
Captain Pugwash Benny hat 😸.
Very true, I was working on the river Calder near Hebden Bridge when I spotted a mink 1st time I had seen one. A local told me animal right activists set them free in the 1980s. They are very destructive creatures.
@@nicothechihuahua3167 Spot on, yes, unfortunately it was a very misguided thing to do releasing the mink. I'm completely opposed to fur farming but it was absolutely disastrous releasing them into the wild. We've seen them here in South Wales, guessing they're everywhere in the UK.
Emily - I think the brick lined holes on the canal bank could be the remains of a lime kiln? It's a bit hard to tell and others may have better ideas.... - Tim
Looks like you could do with your electric bike and a trailer for the Electric pushbike to make life easier for yourselves to 😊 you could convert one of them kids trailers for your electric bike it would be a big help in carrying your wood or coal for your fire or your shopping to ?
One of my fave videos 🤗
wow a lot of splicing in the footage......lots of fun huh?
Those arches are old lime kilms really like your vlogs from new dawn fades
Great narrow boat , lovely cosy and well thought out living areas and Alan is the most lovely cat ❤
Enjoyed!
😃 CD has arrived 🌟
I'm feeling cold watching your videos🥶
Thanks love you both keep happy
Weasel or Stoat. Weasels are smaller, like a 30mm furry pipe with legs at each corner. I'm guessing Weasel. 😊
Leeloo Dallas, Multipass
I ove thé snow ❤
Too much heathy food 😂
I'm just going through the process of completing the sale of my flat then I'll be buying my boat. 5 years of dreaming finally becoming a reality! I watched the stunning early morning shots of the canal and shed a little tear because I can't believe this is going to be my life too! I'm so incredibly lucky. It's been quite a journey to get to this point but I'm here now and that makes all the stumbles and obstacles worthwhile! Please keep in making these wonderful videos guys. Tracy 🥰
Good luck for the future on your boating adventures.
@@johnsharman7614 thank you very much! 🙏
Hmmm see from drone footage it's all muddy !
Excellent video and you are the best Emily huge respect
Could the ruins be in Calverley woods, which was used as a POW camp in WW2 and then later used as a firework factory, until an explosion in the 50's killing 3 people and so was shut down
Nice one guys. Just one observation, wood for the burner. Get into the habit of seriously stockpiling timber for the burner at every opportunity. This is a such a sustainable and readily available resource and will save you lots of money in the long run. Alan was as cute as always, have a great trip to Portugal xx
The openings on the canal are brick kilns. They'll have made walling bricks in situ
24:52
Images of the 1981 movie "Chariots of Fire" ☺☺☺
You are my joint number 1 site with foxes afloat
I absolutely love you guys. You got the coolest boat, you are the coolest people, laid back and chill. I’ve watched several different narrow boat channels and I swear these folks don’t need to be married. 😂😂😂. The bickering is out of control. Makes me feel like I’m in a car with my parents and I can’t escape! 😱 The music Benny makes is wonderful and y’all are just fun people. ❤️❤️❤️ Oh yeah and Alan is a cool cat! 😂
Hi guys. I've been binge watching your channel for weeks and love it. I'm gonna get me a narrow boat and live on the water. I blame you completely for inspiring me. All the best.
have fun guys
It must smell divine on board when Ben is baking fresh bread, It looks delicious. Alan's Wholemeal bread has a certain ring to it 🐱🙂.
You make it look very cosy on board, makes me glad for my own coal and wood burner! And Ben has picked up some genuine expertise in bread making from somewhere; that loaf sounded delicious when poked!
Way to go with the bread. I'm not very good at it myself, sigh! Enjoyable video. Ben always enjoy your music.
Good vidio stay warm
You guys are so easy to watch. Great video. Thank you. This Texas lady loves you.
