    So great to see you back out on the cut, Alan! Thanks, as always, for sharing your trip with us. You couldn't have had a lovelier day to set off on your cruise. The warm breeze, sun in the sky, trees starting to bud, and even the birds seem to be celebrating the end of lockdown! Joyous!

      @@MyNarrowboatVenture We have camper that stays in a campground all year round so it is much like our marine. Because of my health and my age I often need help with the gas bottles and other things. Most people there are very helpful but there are a few we stay away from because the like to drink more than the should.

    As you were cruising along and you passed some moored boats a chap was waving to you as you passed him it was nice to see.
    Your heron flight was caught on camera very well and it was so nice to see.
    Well, no cheese topped rolls oh dear !
    Lovely scenery film of canal country side
    That means so much to us since we miss being out on the canals
    Thank you for your time in bring to us all your adventures we are very appreciative and grateful.
    I have set a reminder for your live episode later on in April with " special guest" Kevin who we know and follow looking forward to that.
    Keep safe dry warm and virus free.

    So glad to see you out and about Alan. The last 12 months has been so hard for so many people for lots of different reasons. We have a narrowboat moored at a marina and just the fact that we could not go to sit on board never mind cruising was so difficult. we managed a weeks cruising in the summer when we were allowed out but that was all as our Grandson who lives with us had to go back to school. We managed a day there yesterday (4th April) and boy did it feel good. So I fully understand why your grin is from ear to ear. We are looking forward to your next videos so keep them coming and stay safe :-)

    FREEDOM! The smile on your face whilst you were cruising and doing something that you've been waiting for so long to do. Less than ten days before the beginning of the end of the lockdown, but for my part there was one thing I couldn't wait any longer to do and that was to get my haircut, I was starting to look like Worzel Gummidge, so I asked my friend if he would cut my hair and he agreed, so we went to the park to do it using my hair clippers. And he cut it to a number two crop almost as short as yours. It felt wonderfully clean. I can't wait for the next episode and ride alongside you.
    It's been too long, All the best and bye for now. Stephen.

      Hi Steve, I had a great time thanks, had some lovely weather though my third day was dull. I cut my own hair, have done so for quite a few years now. There will be a mid week video, so please look out for that, not cruising. All the very best Alan

    Alan it’s so nice to see your genuine joy at being able to cruise again after such a long time confined to your mooring. Lovely also to see others share your joy . It looked beautiful out there. I think in your haste to get going, it’s caused your very well organised mind to wander. No cheese topped rolls 😳

      Hi Paul, thanks for your comment. This may sound strange to you but I do eat other forms of bread other than cheese topped rolls. Shock, horror! I like the ones I buy from Sainsburys but have been shopping more locally during lockdown. It was really glorious for two days but the third was rather dull. Cheers

    Hello Alan if you look for the app named BirdNET it's free and will identify birds from thier song. I use it when walking my dog in our local wooded park, very accurate. Happy cruising.

    • @MyNarrowboatVenture
      @MyNarrowboatVenture  3 роки тому

      Thanks for that advice. I have two Bird apps, one has the sounds on it and the other will record birdsong and identify it, but I'm not impressed with either, so will give your suggestion a go. Thanks very much, cheers.
