    Fascinating video with scene stealing cats! And I loved the mini “Through the Hedge” at the end. Thank you.

    A few random observations: A great vlog on how you support yourselves living on a narrowboat. Life is more than economics, so I suspect you two never estimate how much you earn per hour in such a labour-intensive business; such comparisons make no sense when you measure personal satisfaction and a healthy, relatively stress-free lifestyle. Your stresses are of a different magnitude and can’t be part of any purely economic spreadsheet. All this shows up, over time, as you share your life with us. I notice when you switch to speeded up mode, the cat remained relatively motionless! Wise kitty. I love the hailstorm shot through the cat flap. I also love the artistic way you show us a variety of shots of the buildings and things that interest you on your travels. I particularly liked the avenue of trees near the end. Above all, I think we all recognize a loving relationship with all its complex challenges, and your vlogs reflect this. Stay well you two.

    You have thousands and thousands of followers but its not because of any one of you and that includes both cats. Its not going through locks, we've done hundreds by now going up and going down in all weathers its not just the scenery ,glorious rural vistas or grubby graffiti stained urban industrial sprawl. Its you Kath and Anne Marie, your indomitable character ,you tackle some crazy projects and always succeed in the end and with a smile .Its your care and respect for others love of nature and things beautiful and historic. and each other, that comes through loud and clear constantly. You and I have never met yet I count you as friends I see every week .Thank you so much for just being my friends Kath and Anne Marie.

  • @Martin-se3ij
    @Martin-se3ij 4 роки тому +4

    I suggest you have a rubber stamp made of one of your cat's paw print. Stamp this on the back of your finished product. This could be an option, charging people an extra $1 if they want their purchase "authenticated" by Alice?
    It seems to me if the government would put some money into the canal system it would create a lot of jobs. Dealing with the quagmire of muddy tow path would be one improvement. Send a painting and a stern note to that clown in No.10.
    More video of old houses please. Even the texture of an Edwardian brick wall is a delight to an X pat. Great Job!

    What a great blog! A really great glimpse of what it’s like to be a trade boat and run an art business from the boat as well as a weekly blog. Do you ever have difficulties keeping all the paper products and art media pristine with the humidity and in the summer with the heat, since the boat has no air conditioning? I have been following The Narrowboat Experience for about a year now. I love the through the hedge, and informative blogs such as installing you diesel stove, solar cells, etc. as well as the cruising blogs. You show that empowered ladies are every bit as capable as men, and can take on major self repair and improvement projects on their boat as well as managing all the locks, swing and lift bridges involved with cruising. You are such a caring and supportive couple. Cheers from Florida!

    It is good to know that you have achieved your goal of independence through your talents and hard work without having to rely on a traditional "job" while enjoying the freedom and beauty of the narrowboat lifestyle. Its nice to be allowed in to witness your lifestyle and also to be given the opportunity to see through the artists eye as it were. Im not sure if you are even aware of the way you frame your photo and videos but it does come through as we watch. Thank you. Slightly altered (more ladybugs) that particular painting would make an excellent clock. No numbers required just the clockwork and an appropriate set of hands. Possibly another revenue stream? Have a great day ladies, looking forward to your next vlog.

I think you are living my dream life. Of course, my plan is to do it solo but still. So weird. :) I do have one burning question watching your channel though - how do your cats not just take off and go exploring?? Do they stay close? I love them, I am just amazed they just jump off and on the boat.

    Frampton-on-Severn! WOW! That was a nice surprise. When I was younger my eldest sister used to take us to the gravel pits. When she got married in1961 her husband lived down by the canal next to the Cadburys factory. Thier home was in Nuppend. The hog roast Fair was also a great event on the green. I also fished the canal at Frampton. I used to live and go to school in Stonehouse. This video brought back lots of great memories. I am in Hereford now and if it weren't for this global dilema we find ourselves in I would have jumped in the car and came down to say hello. Maybe next time. Have a great day and please stay safe.

    Talking about supporting small local businesses; here in our midwestern county seat farm burg of population less than ten-thousand, our local creative writers group is enjoying being able to meet in-person again. Saturday mornings we meet at a locally owned bake shop owned and run by the wife of a guy who was a firefighter and is now in local government _(and it striking how much the gal who owns the shop looks like my Mom when she was in her 30s and 40s)_ in a century old literal brick and mortar building & of course we have to get caffeine and sugar 'brain food' for writing! Then for lunch at least a couple of us will go around the corner to a small combination consignment store and cafe run by a mom and two adult daughters team. And our writers group rents a space for those who are published to sell books.
