BOAT TOUR | Towpath Jungle and a Canal side CHIP FEAST [Ep 112]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- I meet a lovely couple who have just had a new Narrowboat built by Bourne Boat Builders and they invite me inside for a full BOAT TOUR. My reconditioned starter motor gets fitted to my old Lister so I am now able to continue my adventures. So I head off down one Canal Lock to the lovely quaint English Village of Acton Trussell to meet up with friends and we cook dinner on the towpath in a dutch oven - Chips Yum Yum!
-----------
Thank you so much for watching. If you are new here, I'm Heidi and I live aboard my Narrowboat The Rum Wench and travel the UK's Canals in search of Adventure. After selling my house to experience an alternative lifestyle I bought a canal boat and a camper van which as a solo female who loves to travel, gives me the best of both worlds. I have recently got myself a new addition to the crew, a fabulous companion - my little rescue dog Bonny who is an absolute joy. I also work full time off grid from my tiny home and trade at canal festivals as The Pirate Boat

Seems like you and Bonny are getting the measure of each other 🐾🐾 good on you for giving her a forever home ❗
She is absolutely wonderful ❤️🏴☠️
Wish we could enjoy times like this ,enjoy each day as it comes ,all the best viking,rum drinking wench.see you in South Yorkshire.
Bonnie acts like she is thankful to be in "boat/towpath" heaven with her perfect lifetime pal. Congrats on your new travel mate and CHEERS!❤
So good to see Bonny enjoying her new life and she's certainly put a smile on your face Heidi.
Thanks as always for another great vlog.
Thank you 😄
❤ Bonnie is a very sweet little girl, thank you for taking care of her.
The training looks like it's going really well! Bonny is such a sweet pretty girl! I can well believe she's a life changer. Inspiring me to finally get another pup as well. Been two years since my girl Stella passed.
Oh do it - Bonny has brought so much joy to my life ❤️🏴☠️
Bonnie seems to be adjusting well to boat life.
She is amazing 😃🏴☠️
Dear Rum Wench
👍👌👏 You always make me smile/grin from ear to ear. 😁 And being put in a good mood is definitely one of the best things that can happen. So thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and especially health to all involved life forms (dogs, friends, parents).
Post Scriptum: Happy to see Bonny and the starter motor back in shape again.
Aww thank you and glad it made you smile 😄🏴☠️
Dear @@TheNarrowboatPirate
You're welcome, it's my pleasure.
With every morning that comes in your videos I wait for the funny little fart after the cockcrow. 😁 It's somehow ingenious and really funny.
Thanks for replying and especially for giving a heart to my comment. It always and totally appreciate both very much.
Sincerely yours.
Awww bless her she’s a beautiful little poochy and lucky to have you in her life x
Thank you 😃❤️🏴☠️
From one Rum swilling wrench to another with the same Name!! And has the same kind of humour 😂.
I'm very jealous of your lifestyle!! .....maybe one day!!
Any way must craft and pour a good captain Morgan spiced rum 👌 over ice 😅 yum yum
Kind regards
Heidi xx
Cheers Heidi 😂🥃🏴☠️
I just got lost in your lady garden 😂😂very trancey...love it
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Great video, quality time with your Mum & Dad and friends with double chipped chips, living like Lords eh! 😊
Oh yes! 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate And especially lots of help from little Bonny, bless her soul. 😊
Glad you are mobile again. Whenever something needs fixing on my old Rav car it costs but I know that I don't have to worry about that again. I get told that it would be better to get another car but I know what has been done on mine so know where it's at. Enjoy your gorgeous wee girl, she really is enjoying being with you. Take care as always =-)
Thanks Lorraine, yes it’s better to fix what you have ❤️
Watching from Canada - Love the scenery of England
Great vlog Heidi. You and Bonnie look soooo happy with each other.
She is amazing 😄🏴☠️
There was a pirate named Heidi. She kept her boat so very tidy. She would share her rum with any ole bum. She steered her boat to keep it a float so Bonnie was always kept dry.
Great video Heidi. Alfie is a really nice boat but hardly a pirate ship so just hang in there with the Rum Wench. It's definitely more becoming of a pirate queen. Besides with all that storage you would never know where you last stowed the rum. All in all I agree with the other comments. This is a noteworthy addition to canal life, especially the triple fried chips.YUM!!
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️
Glad to see that Bonny is getting along so well. Looking forward to the next video. Be well and stay safe.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Blimey you are so talented, your synth music is awesome, just found it on Spotify. Love you sharing your narrowboat story and making us laugh❤️
Aww thank you so much 😄🎵
Bonny is a sweetheart kisses and hugs
Those chips have made me hungry! Great video Heidi 😊 Bonnie is a very lucky girl x
I’m the lucky one - she has brought me so much joy 😄🐶🏴☠️
So Glad that your narrowboat has been fixed it is so hard being stranded thou I suspect the time spent bonding more with Bonnie was best ever...I can see she loves you soooo much .... keep cool cheers Debz from Oz
Loved the video heidi already waiting for the next one your little dog is lovely 😊😊
Thank you! 😊
I am thrilled for you and Bonnie. It is obvious that you both needed each other. I love all of your videos but this one is my current favorite- you skills as a vlogger have massively grown very quickly- well done- see you next week.
Thank you 😊
What a wonderful new life for Bonnie❤🎉🐾
She is wonderful 🐶😄❤️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate as are you
1st time seen your videos. Very interesting & entertaining with snippets of Canal Boat Life not very lock gate 👍🍀🙏💕
I love your narrow boat heidi 😊❤
What a lovely, lovely video.
Aww thank you John 😄🏴☠️
What a fantastic video! So glad Bonnie is working out.
Thank you, me too ❤️
When you get stung by nettles take a big leaf off it and roll it into a ball so it releases its juice then rub it where you’ve been stung and it stops the stinging 👍🏻
Dock leaf.
@@philipjones9458 yes that’s common knowledge,nettle leaf,not as well known
Bonnie is a little beauty, great vid Heidi, cheers.
Hello Mrs. Cant beat a nosey round a boat. I love it. 🤭🤭👍
I know… I’m a nosey bugger 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate 🤭🤭👍
Afternoon Heidi, awww Bonny is doing so great you are so well suited, those chips looked amazing 😊 hope you have a lovely week, can't wait for nexts weeks update, much love to you both, Kay, Dave and Bubba❤ ❤
Thank you! You too!
New motor sounds awesome.
Little Bonnie is fascinated by all the swans , ducks etc , she may have changed your life but you have transformed hers as well I bet she can't believe what's happened, I hope your together for many years to come .
By the way if there's any of those chips going spare save us a few will ya 😁😁😁 .
Safe cruising.
Thanks Bruce she is absolutely gorgeous ❤️🐶
Great vid. Your boat is the best.. Love to meet you one day . From me and keeley.
Fab video! 👍😊
Thank you! 😀
I’m so pleased to see you’ve gotten the starter fixed. I was fearing you’d get stranded somewhere eventually. And 240 pounds to have someone like that fella rebuild a starter motor is much better than buying a new or rebuilt starter from a store..which you probably can’t find one for that motor anyhow..hopefully you’ll be good to go for years to come…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Awww grand vlog so pleased how well Bonny is doing and the joy in your face when you soeak of her how grand your mom n dad luv her to tc now luv to all the oldies tc👍🤗👍🤗
I love watching you with Bonny She is a wonderful dog
She really is ❤️😄🏴☠️
Lovely video, thanks for sharing!
Now they look like some proper good chips 😍🍟
Haha they were gorgeous ❤️🏴☠️
I am glad to see your baby girl is doing well. She will be a very happy dog because you’re a very happy person and they pick up on that. I am also very happy you got your starter fixed with the new bushes and all. I prefer a trimmed landscape, and if you combined that with a double dip, it makes for one hell of a Saturday night.
Lmao 😂😂😂
Ace watch. All going well with Bonnie. You seem so relaxed. X🐰x
She is wonderful ❤️
Brilliant video, think you and Bonnie will become inseparable. I guess you both needed each other. ❤
We really did 😄🏴☠️🐶
What an amazing video. So much in it, such nice people, great scenery and lovely Bonnie. Loved it all.
thank you for the video
Thanks for watching 😃🏴☠️
It is so good to see you and. Bonny so happy, i can't wait for more snot Cam's in the future, ❤️
So glad you & Bonnie now have each other.
Love the Kraken Rum it is the best, but didn't know that there are other varieties.
Thanks
Oh wow Sid, thanks again for your generosity ❤️😄🏴☠️
I'm happy to see that Bonnie is doing well. Loved the tour of the new boat 🚢 😍 👌.
Cookouts on the towpath look like loads of fun.
I was a little late getting to watch this video because I was at a pub having a few craft beers 🍻 😅 . See you next time Heidi.
Cheers 🥃🏴☠️
You can hardly find mechanics that can rebuild a starter in the U.S. let alone the parts hunt. So glad you have some real mechanics and parts chasers around.
Thanks!
Thank you 😃❤️🏴☠️
Bonnie is the cutest dog ever.
She is 😄❤️🏴☠️
Cheers from The States.
Cheers 🥃
Big hugs ❤
" Raise the Jolly Roger " !!!!
Many moons ago I had one of those engines but it had a hand crank fitted no starter. If parts are going to get scarce for those starters it might be worth getting one...😎
Unfortunately it was removed so it would fit in the boat … the fly wheel is too close to the bulk head
I'm in America what a great way to spend a year off on bored
There has to be some out-takes of Heidi having a few mishaps near the water, tripping, falling over, taking a dip etc.......... I think we need a video of said mishaps!
Luckily I’ve only fallen in once and that was 5 years ago helping another boater tie up but i broke my fingers 😂😂
bonnies like a little bulldozer lol
I know 😂😂
The Chips looks great!....What was the sauce she was making ?
Curry sauce - chip shop style 😃
@@TheNarrowboatPirate it looked de-lish, she should post a recipe .😄
With all that high grass and weeds on those towpaths I’m wondering how much a problem Ticks are. I hate ticks, rather be bitten by a mosquito than find a tick attached to me body parts. 😮
I’ve never had a tick and Bonny has a product called frontline applied monthly to stop fleas and ticks 😄
We use to leave a radio playing or tv just drowns the sounds out
With chip frying I don't get the principal? Why is taking them out and putting them back in any different to leaving them in longer?? Is it to do with cooling down?? I know it works I'm just trying to understand the science lol great vid
I’ve no idea … I think so but not let them cool too much 😃
Pay his Heidi taxes... love it!
😆
❤
What was the name of boat ?
Alfie
I was just looking on Amazon and they have some great pirate costumes for dogs…..if you’ll get one for Bonnie just let me know how much and I’ll pay for it…my gift to Bonnie and you ✌🏼✌🏼
Aww bless you … I’ve got puddins old pirate jumper that fits and a pirate bandana on order already 🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate , can’t wait to see it
Who made the dragonflies out on the bow
??
@@TheNarrowboatPirate sorry welddeck in Alfie,there were a few very beautifull what looked liked ceramic dragonflies
Ahh I get ya, I don’t know I think they were just bought but lovely aren’t they 😄🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate absolutely 😻
Black s no color for hot!
You should try to sell your music, very relaxing. Thank you
I do, it’s all copyrighted to use on UA-cam and available from my website, iTunes and Spotify 😄🏴☠️🎵
Thanks for the early heads-up on this week's smashing video. Bonny really is coming along a treat, she's lucky to have an owner who cares for her and is patient with her. All the best to both of you. Stephen ❤
Aww thanks Stephen, she is gorgeous 😄
Thanks Heidi, thank you for the V-log, you and Bonnie look so good together, I'm so glad you have bonded so well, Bonnie looks to be a good dog for training, she's come on leaps and bounds.
She really is coming on, she is amazing 😄
Hahaha 😂just loved the towpath jungle hike…. Here’s one you might like
Bonny and Heidi battle the tall bush
It’s a good job they weren’t in a rush
Stung by nettles, reeds that whip
Not much fun when they’re up to the nips
And after all that back they come
Of course, me heartys…to get home for a rum
From Pat x
Brilliant 😂😂😂
Heidi, I'm so excited....I bought my first narrowboat yesterday- on my birthday too!! All being good with the survey I could be on her in 2-3 weeks!!! Watching you as a solo female cc-er inspired me to go for my dream so thank you. I must get my dog Molly to watch this video to learn from Bonnie how to behave and not to jump into the canal every time she sees a duck or Swan! Bloody nightmare! 😆 Hope youre having a beautiful evening 😍
T 🙏
Oh wow, Happy Birthday and congratulations on your new life chapter … I hope the survey goes well 😄❤️🏴☠️ whooop hopefully see you on the canals very soon 😄
Hey there,
So good to catch up. You’re both looking well 🙂
it was so nice seeing Bonny with your parents - especially when your dad had the frisbee - she can’t half jump!! And then later trying to eat Rosie 🤣
A really hilarious game I used to play with my jack russel that you and Bonny might enjoy is this - you get a puppet, I had a rabbit puppet, and I’d creep it towards Reggie and he would go absolutely nuts, loving it. It was such a laugh. It also helped with our recall training - the toy became the reward ❤
(before anyone comes at me for encouraging animal cruelty IT WAS A PUPPET 😂and I never ever had him off the lead in rural areas where small furry animals might reside - ok? Great 👍🏼)
I have one quick question re the video - you said “I love the name of your boat” and then “don’t be rude” as you went past it, but I didn’t ever see the boats name....what was it? 🤣🤣
I’ll go back now (as I always do anyway) and rewatch the video, just in case I’m going senile and I missed it - sorry in advance if I did 😂
All the best to you and Bonny and to your lovely mum and dad too. See you next week.
eve
🙂🐿🌈❤️
P.s so good that she didn’t have any separation anxiety hey.
Oh and what a brilliant ditty by Angela this week 🤣
Ahoy Eve, the boat was called ‘my fanwy’ i love it as it’s a little rude 😂 and I’m amused by the simple things 😂 Bonny is really coming along, I’ll look out for a puppet 😂😂 thanks for watching and commenting, it means the world 😄🏴☠️❤️
Ha ha thanks for letting me know Heidi, that IS a funny name, and clever - I too am amused by things like this lol.
Catch up with you both next week, take care and enjoy the sunshine ☀️ xöx
P.s I was pausing and zooming and rewinding ha ha just trying to work out the name ha ha ❤
Wow Heidi, this was a right smashing video, thank you so much❣ So glad Bonny is well & responding to her training. It's fun to see you're family, friends & you (LOL) visiting, relaxing & having fun. Stay healthy, happy & safe. See you next week.
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
A little help towards the engine repairs.
Very generous thanks Mark 😄🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate My pleasure. Your more than welcome.
Bonnie has settled in well with boat life. I've been painting in my spare time this week. I hope you have some nice times while you're up the Shroppie.
Heidi on the Rum Wench, with old engine Lister, it had a bad starter, but Steven has fixed her. Got bearings and Bendix and new "bushes" too, while Bonny has learned things and seen cattle too!
😄🏴☠️
Enjoyed that. Great to see Bonny adjusting so well. She’s such a sweetie.
Great video. Thanks so much!
👍👍👍👊😎
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Wow homemade chips on the towpath, they looked amazing. So glad bonnie is all fit now and raring to go. This vlog was brilliant Hiedi it had a bit of everything and you make it so entertaining, so thankyou.
☠️❤️👍
Thanks so much 😊
Bonny is delightful and very smart. Thank you Heidi for this wonderful video. I am so happy your motor is fixed. Take care and have a fantastic week.
Thank you, you too 😄🏴☠️
Wow! Bonnie and Heidi make the Pirate life come alive! A trip to the Vet and a visit with Mom and Dad makes a welcome above. Now it's a real life once again. Live, Laugh and Love and plenty of Rum Fellows makes All Me Hearties come back to life! Have a wonderful time. Best wishes from a water drinking pirate stuck in the shade of the desert heat with Arizona cattlem😊
It's so hot and dry on this ship I can't even wet the lips or dehydration takes over! 😂😂😂❤😮
Aww thank you me hearty 😃🏴☠️
😂😂 you got to keep them lips moist! 🏴☠️
I hope you win the lottery….👍👍 you and Bonnie….oh the joys…… I play the lottery also and I guess if I win, I will be buying someone in England a new Narrowboat……..joys..from Michigan
Aww bless you! Fingers crossed we both win 😄🥃🏴☠️❤️
Great to see you and Bonny doing so well. Thanks for taking the time to share. Deb
Aww thanks for watching Deb 😄🏴☠️
You encounter such lovely people on the cut ❣️ lil Bon is fitting right in... 😊
Good Nz morning Heidi. As usual, another great episode. Oh to be young again. You young people have all the fun. Hehe. However I'm a little bit confused. Whoever you pay your fees to, like IWA...etc, one of those organizations IS surely responsible for controlling the growth of weed and grass on the towpath. Like where you had your chips. Anyway, not my problem. Loving the channel Heidi. Keep those episodes coming. Until next time, take care. Atb from down here.
I know it’s getting to be a bit of a jungle out there 😂😂
You are 5065mi away in Acton Trussell and you are teasing me with dbl dipped chips? That is really torture! 😫
😂😂
Friendly village plates! My mom and my husbands favorite plates.
Great video. Ya gotta love Bonnie, what a sweetheart. I do hope you win the lottery, but do you really want a new fancy boat? You really have a great life. Thank you for sharing. The new starter sounds really good . I drink a rum to you and Bonnie; cheers!
Oh I really do want a fancy new one … it will be better for hosting friends and family and not as much hard work as mine is very deep drafted which is difficult as a solo boater 😄🏴☠️
Brilliant! You certainly are a talented lady. Your photography is superb as are your editing and music skills - composed by you. Thanks for all the hard work you do to bring these videos to us.
John, Ontario, Canada
Thanks so much 😊
Lovely to see how Bonny’s coming on , what a good girl she is .x
She is amazing 😄🏴☠️
What a wonderful vlog. So happy and positive, friends and family, the fabulous Bonny…and some cute wildlife thrown in! I’m so glad the boat is fixed and you can be confident she will be reliable again. Glad you had a lovely time at your parents’ house and all went well at the vets. Have a great week Heidi 😊
Aww thanks so much for your lovely comment - have a fab week too 😄🏴☠️
Good on you john and militza Great outdoor life ,home cooking and home brew fresh air and beautiful different scenery every day .cheers 🍻
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
What a lovely video - we get so much pleasure from your vids...thank you!
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
So glad you and Bonny found each other. She is definitely coming along with her training. I could not be happier for the both of you. Also happy for Bonny’s Grandparents. You can see how happy they are with her❤️🏴☠️
Aww they love her to bits 😃🏴☠️❤️
Let’s be truthful it’s Bonny’s sofa
It is now 😂😂
Cheers Heidi for another kraken video , you are the best☠🥃👍
