Hi guys nice peaceful trip today. Sue worked well on all the locks. Loved the bobble hat. I also buy clothes from sainburys, I find that they are well made and very serviceable. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Take care. All the best wishes.
Thanks Yvonne. Sue’s bobble hat is legendary to us - it’s been all over with us and we use it as a sort of weather vane 🤣🤣 You can’t beat a bit of supermarket cat walk fashion hey? 👍 Thanks again 😍
Beeston castle is the one nearest to you, on the left of the shot. The more distant one is Peckforton Castle, a home and wedding venue in lovely grounds. They do do afternoon teas there…….!
Got regular unleaded 87 octane for $2.85 a gallon in Mid Michigan, which is down from $3.39 2 weeks ago. 👏👏 very happy about that. We had our first snow last week about 2 inches melted the next day and about to be 50 F degrees for the next 2 days then back near freezing for Saturday /Sunday. I live on the water and the last few flights of geese have been migrating for the winter. Squirrels are fat with acorns and ready for winter and the local birds are emptying my bird feeders every couple of days, Deer hunting season is over so the deer are back to their normal routines, winter is coming quick and so is Christmas ,so make sure you got your Xmas tree up on Josh,and your presents tucked up under it.Keep on keeping on .Guten Tag from Michigan. 👋👋✌✌
Loved reading your message by the way. The talk of the geese, the fat squirrels and the house by the water really painted a picture in our minds! Nippy though temperature wise? The tree is going up this weekend so that will make Josh feel a touch more Christmassy!! 😍😍
A very pleasant cruise with no noticeable distractions other than Sue's lovely hat. Are they your underpants you're wearing on your head? 😂 Oh, and I believe the word Diesel was spelt incorrectly on that sign. No wonder you didn't see any Kingfishers. It was far too early. You must have been up before the birds started coughing. 😅 Keep up with the nice views. If I had a GoPro, you could have had it with pleasure. But alas I don't own one. Maybe Santa will bring one. But you have to be good. ❤
Hi Harry Sue’s hat is legendary around here. It’s well travelled and we use it as a sort of weather vane 🤣 I hear spat my drink out when I saw your underpants comments 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve had that ‘hat’ for years, it’s sooooo comfortable and light yet let’s the heat out of the top of you want to (it’s like a neck tube really). Thanks on the camera offer… maybe Santa will be kind 🤔 We spotted the mistake on the sign instantly and it’s just stuck in our throats, dear oh dear!! Cheers 👍
You asked for fuel prices. I don't know the cost for marine use - I understand that commercial fishing boats get subsidised fuel, but I don't know about others. For road use RON95 petrol is about 34 or 35p/litre. Diesel is about 36p/litre. RON97 petrol is expensive though at 58p/litre. RON100 petrol is about 70p/litre, so only the racing lads use RON100.
@raymondc5473 Ah of course you are - I remember Raymond. We Googled that when we messaged about it - looks fabulous out there although I did have to Google it twice back then because I misspelt it!!
Ooo, back in Barbridge, I wonder which way you will go 🙂 Do you ever look back at your first few videos to see how far you've grown in confidence and camera skills?
Thanks K. 50/50 choice 🤣🤣 It might be quite interesting for us to do that K. It’s been one heck of a journey so would be interesting to see it again!! 😎
Is that deemed expensive in the States now? Been a while since I was there and had to buy petrol but that sounds like a substantial jump on the face of it? Isn’t that the way of the world though…
@@NarrowEscape1 I call it "Bidenflation." Butter is now over $4 a pound. It is sickening how the prices are skyrocketing! The gas prices are down from much higher. Before I went to boot camp back in 1976 I was pumping gas in a gas station for .32 cents a gallon. These prices are sickening to me as they are to many reasonable-minded people. But those who love Joey "the puppet" Biden don't mind the high prices. They are deranged!
That’s so cool Cindy - thanks for that. We like learning new things so we’ll be Googling about Sask, plus the Canadian to GBP exchange rate, and how the different fuel grades compare to those in the UK…you’ve given us plenty to have a nosey at 👍👍😃
We’re not sure actually Sandra. We both used to travel extensively with work all over the country so you pick things up as you travel about. We heard someone say ‘piddle it down’ recently and it sounded oh so twee and genteel 🤣 We would both use ‘chuck it down’ too on occasion plus a couple of other things that UA-cam would probably I didn’t write here 😱🤩
@@sandrakent8049 We are running behind Sandra. We’ve lots and lots more content even though we are releasing two videos a week!! It’s one of the things about cruising so often - you end up with lots and lots of content to edit and lots of videos. Could be worse though as we know some channels are scrapping around for things to say and hashing videos together to keep up their ‘one a week’ or whatever…no such issues here 🤣🤣
You say about having a GoPro well I hate videos where they stick a camera on the front and then don't bother to tell you anything that's going on. Cruise videos they call them. I switch of after about 1 minute. As for KF's its been done already.
We agree with the ‘camera on the front and keep quiet’ but we suspect that suits some viewers. At the end of the day you make your choice about what you want to show and just put it out there!! We’re still waiting for our monster KF shot…one day we’ll capture it!
Hi ya, you're not the BBC, then what have I been watching, was sure you had a professional camera crew filming you both, I'm so disappointed 😔... Price of fuel by me have no idea I can't look just fill up and go always 80 quid every visit its sickening. If I could cycle yo work I would 😅 Kingfishers are relentlessly fast flyers its incredible when uou eventually get one, I'm sure I sent you a picture of one I snapped a picture of while kayaking into Wadebridge in Cornwall. Can't do video of you not talking you're the only two people who keep me sane I have to watch you guys else it would be I'm a celebrity get me outta here as the wife has that on and I can't stand it.😮 That chug chug chug chug chug is so mesmerising could listen to that sound all day its the petrol / diesel head in me lol. What score will you give to the wife's Christmas tree 🎄 pics I sent you, millies tree definitely a 10/10 😂😂😂😂 You going to put a small one up in your boat or put it on the roof as firewood 😅😅😅😅😅 Anyway have lots of fun in the rain Stay safe 🙏 be good 👍 Kev the brinklow kayaker😊
Yeah we had to turn the professional film crew down Kev 😱🤣…going solo, just the two of us and a GoPro 👍 Catching a KF by sight or on camera is always a treat and not something we take for granted at all - lovely things! Mrs J’s tree is absolutely MINT. You usually see people’s trees and they look like someone has rocket launched tat at them but your trees both look classy and upmarket 👍 We’ve got a small tree for Josh which will hopefully be going up this weekend. No pressies for us though - we’ve decided to buy for Josh instead as he needs a few things to get him ready for cruising in 2024 and we can’t have both so Josh wins 🤣
@NarrowEscape1 bottle of wine or two I bet at Christmas 🎄 Where are uou planning to be at Christmas aboard or with family? I just hope you get some thing.. All the best Kev
Good vlog has always loved your hat Sue tc both the oldies 🤗🤗👍

Doesn’t sound like they want boaters frequenting their establishment 🤣🤣

HOLY COW - 36p/litre for diesel. Where on earth do you live...Saudi?? That is astonishing, truly astonishing!
@@NarrowEscape1 Malaysia. We were home to UK in September and had a hire car. Paying GBP1.50+ per litre made the knees shake a bit.
@user-xw6wj2qh5n Oh wow, Malaysia, how cool!!!!
Yeah, that would have been a shock to the system. At least you only had to suffer it briefly 😬
Another excellent video, thanks. Approx £1.29 ltr for diesel.
Thanks very much for that Raymond. Whereabouts is that out of interest?
Near Casares in Spain.
@raymondc5473 Ah of course you are - I remember Raymond. We Googled that when we messaged about it - looks fabulous out there although I did have to Google it twice back then because I misspelt it!!
Hi guys, great vlog as usual, bought a tenners worth of diesel yesterday got 6.75ltrs
Doesn’t sound much different to red diesel prices Mic by the time you add the tax on…
@@NarrowEscape1 that's from sainsburys 1/2mile up road from me as thames is doing its usual thing in winter🤣🤣
