Hi guys hope you enjoyed the video! If you are interested in Benny's music, we've actually opened the preorders for his new album today! Follow this link to have a look bennyjones.bandcamp.com/album/rarer-forms-of-wandering
Emily: "You will recognize some tracks, but there are plenty new...SQUIRREL!" 😂
😆
My favourite moment, but I’m biased 🤣🤣
Benny's music is perfect for the enviroment you travel through.
Thanks so much! 😀
It's amazing how Alan doesn't run away when you guys tie up. Has she ever legged it before? We love you Alan 💕
I think Alan's only ever run off when a big dog barked 😀
Probably unsettled by the fact every time they open the door, they could be in a new location, with new sights and smells.
Hello! No she's very chilled and very much a house cat. She loves to have a sniff around and a walk up and down to check where she is but she's happy to stay near the boat 😺
I'm glad you got your water,even in the dark. Well done. Nice music, Benny. Congratulations with it all
Hello Emily. I like it when you laugh 😊
So funny watching the small boat chase after the big one like a duckling after its mother! Alan cam shows a whole new perspective too :)
My missus … have ben and emily posted yet … every 10 minutes 😂😂 we love u 2 . 👍👍🇬🇧
Awwww thanks!! 🥰
I really want to watch a weekly “Alan Cam” video!! Just Alan jumping around from place to place and random shots of her walking around. 15 minutes at least every week. Thanks! 😂😂😂😂
beautiful video with such lovely Benny music to accompany the visual delights!
You guys have gotten so comfortable with doing this, and it feels so natural now, that it's almost like I'm a guest with you instead of just watching a video. It's so interesting seeing how it all looks from Alan's perspective, and seeing what she chooses to look at. Love the new music Benny! Your music is a large part of what makes your videos so special and different from other narrowboat videos. Does Emily ever sing or play anything on any of your songs? Maybe you can figure out a way to include Alan purring on a song or two lol. This was such a fun video!
That would be purrfect to include Alan in his music
New CD ordered 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Started watching when this channel first aired, now my wife watches as well .My favourite chilled channel alongside 'Country house Gent'.
I like The Mindful Narrowboat and The Rum Pirate too!
It's amazing how the beautiful music is just perfect for the vlog. Love watching what you get up to every week and Alan is such a star.
The AlanCam!! 😍
The music was Excellent,Tripp video edit..
Alan's blogging, Brilliant!!😊
Loved every moment of it, will be watching a few times this week. Your music for the trip through countryside is perfect Benny. Hope you are both over your colds. Beans on toast with sausages such a comfort food. Thanks again for sharing, will be getting new cd Benny. 🎶🎉🎶💙🎶
Squirrel!...lol (ref. Danny de Vito - Throw mama from the Train - Cows!)
🎉🎉🎉 yippee cd arrived today. Thank you for signing it for me❤
Been listening the new album today and it's great!
Amazing, so glad you like it!
"imma sit on the paniers with ya" now that's 🥰 benny you should propose already
Sorry if i got myself in trouble again lol
Benny is a true man you only read the direction when it doesn't work just like me and emery I know. Life is much more fun that way . Staysafe you 2.
You should buy a pair of Space Hoppers, that would be funny 🙂
Emily! Ben! You're late again
To fill the boat with water.
Now, what's that frown -
A tyre's gone down?
Now shanks's your transporter!
I can't help wondering how much time and effort you two would save if you towed Rambler on a short, rigid tow bar behind Roisin. You would save on fuel and also, because you can turn it around easily, you could use it to backtrack to fetch the van.
Allen cam!!! I love seeing her whiskers out in front of her as she explores.❤
Love Beans on Toast.. I could eat it every day.. Its the ultimate comfort food in a tin
You do realize that Frozen Canals Days are approaching...being without water will not be much fun!
I look forward to your vlog every weekend and it never disappoints. You guys get more and more interesting every week. Alan is the star of the show as usual. Take care you 3. X
Thank you!
Loads of logistics to think about when moving. Probably a bit easier when you start your van adventures. Nice music Benny👍. I’m going to have to get your latest album.
Hi guys we are curious as to why you dont tow Rambler.. it would save some much time at the moment.
If you would have added ballast in the bottom of the little boat it would have been more stable on the water and easier to steer-especially in cross winds.
I am just seeing this a year later...but last November I was visiting from the states staying on friend's boat there in Hopwas. I don't even know how I could've missed you at the pub in a place that small!
I've just stumbled across your fab channel & great music. I'm currently on dry dock getting my boat blacked at Sowerby Bridge so will say hi to Nigel from you 😊
Love that segment looking down on the two boats from the drone while Benny's music plays--really delightful.
🎉yr music reminds me of Crosby Stills Nash & Young ..
The Alan Cam is great!!
SO AWESOME!! CONGRATS ON THE ALBUM LAUNCH, THIS EPISODE HAD SUCH GREAT MUSIC!!👍👍👍👍👍GUITAR AND BANJO EXCELLENT. I HAD A MOVING DAY TODAY ON THE OL BOONDOCKING CAMPER. HEADIN HOME FROM FLORIDA TO IDAHO AFTER OVER A MONTH WITH FAMILY. OY 325 MILES TODAY...... 6 HOURS AND I WATCHING YOO ALL FROM A DISPURSED FREE CAMP IN MISSOURI... HOWS THAT FOR TECHNOLOGY. LOLOL. HAPPY TRAVELS AND LOVE ALAN CAM!!😂😂🤣🤣👍👍🏁🏁
Amazing good luck on your travels!
Love how you get so distracted by a squirrel, like a butterfly just going from one thing to another. Have to say that despite having no commentary, the Al Cam is getting very entertaining shots. We'll done Alan.
Great drone work starting about 18:30. All of your creativity seems to grow each vlog you produce. Cheers to you all. Allen is a very independent soul. Love her.
Al Cam is wicked 😻
ok im a quack up now, thank you guys bloody wonderful as always
Absolutely loved the Allen cam
Dearest daughter.. you asked which were the best bits..
Seeing your smile,
Enjoying Alan's cattitude,
Giggling at Benny's otherworliness, and his mystic musick.
It's almost like being with yous.
By the way.. meeting boats in awkward places... geotropism. Or just sod's law. 😘😘
Yo' papa
Dearest Father, thank you, yes I think sods law haha 😅 love you x
Congratulations on the album release 👍 so nice to see you3 continue your adventures...
Banging music!
Emily turned American for a brief moment. 😆
Great news Benny!!! I gotta see if I can afford it. Wow inheriting a house is fkng expensive. 😬
I bet!!
Benny, are you a fan of the Moody Blues? There's a bit of a resonance with their whimsical style.
What a great vlog, loved all of it - the music and Alan cam. Thanx :-)
Thanks so much! 😊
I was telling Elon Musk about you three on the canal’s, he replied a very laid back life. I was thinking for from it mate, with all them locks to open and close. Lol.
Been in the pub were you are when boating back from Birmingham love your videos such a beautiful couple keep doing what you're doing
There is a new ritual in my life involving brewing rooibos to watch with your video. Complete joy!
😀
@@BenandEmily also listening to the new album, but no tick tock though! Congrats Benny!
Why not tow Rambler like a Butty? ( untie for locks if required etc). Save on fuel too.
Got a pair of bikes (his and hers) we don’t want anymore if you want them to replace the steed.
Very Beautiful and Awesome People, thanks ❤️
What's are the coffee ☕??
I love Ben's music. It always makes me think of the Moody Blues.
Hi guys
Great vid as usual. I follow lots of boat vloggers but having watched you from the start i really look forward to your weekly appearance. Benny your music is awsome i need to come and watch you.
Thank you to Alan for the alternative view of the world xx
You two are brilliant,I ordered the first album & love it so much I at least listen to it once a weak as it’s beutiful & each song just flows I just ordered the new album & love it just as much as the first,well done Ben👏I would love to see the first & new album on vinyl & have them in my record collection,by the way love the little rambler your doing a fine job
Loved the cat cam!
Alan’s gets as close to Emily as possible very cute👏
It sounds very complicated now to move two boats and the car😮
Rover one over, benny out
Listening to Rarer Forms of Wandering, just now, loving it so far, a real gem.😅
Awesome, thank you Doug!
As always love you 3. Emily your eyes when they see foooood. You’re so natural and so in love with each other it’s so refreshing with all the 💩 that’s happening in the world. It’s our little escapism on a Saturday Night. Stay safe guys you are so loved. Trevor & Linda 🥰
Love watching you two. ❤
Alan-come on now, you always put the sun at your back when vlogging!
when i was little we got coal in a lorry dumping it of and we had to store it with showels and musels. ther was only cold wather in the thub and a coal stove. my grandmas sister was op at 5 to put coal in the stove so it diddent go out. i loved fiering up in the stove so when i wissited i was a morning guy at 4 years old.
The drone shot really highlights just how tiny Rambler is!So cute🙃
I really like the time-lapse stuff. It really gives me a sense of the diversity of views along the canal in sequence. More, please.
Wow so many patreons ❤😘 Fantastic footage as you never let us down with so many skills to keep us impressed. Loved the Mr Bean moment with the fender 😂😂😂 love you beautiful souls ❤❤❤😘💕
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great vlog. Thanks for being there and sharing your life, style, friendship and music. Have a great week. See you once again next Saturday. ❤ and best wishes from Arizona USA.
I love the paws on Allen cam.❤
Emily, When you suddenly flipped the camera & said "there's a squirrel" I'd just taken a sip of wine & almost spat it out over my keyboard... Thanks for that...😳😂😂
Soggy boots and dunken kittens the journey you have guys have given.... Thank you
benny you will be a songbird in the next life, love your music, cor bloody wonderful
Solid tires.
Ben's music is so beautyful mindset! Unic artworks! ❤everythig good for you guys! Team trio!!👌👍☺️✌️☀️
Thank you! 😀
I save watching your videos for a lazy Sunday afternoon(after all the weekend jobs are done) laid on top of my bed with the heating on as they`re so relaxing and cosy. Are you a Christmas couple and will you put decs. up inside your boat ??? 🙂
Beautiful
I love the Alan cam!
Yes Alan cam 😍😊
Thanks for great videos...I think you had an e-bike before
wow the tune at 5 min 30 sec is great
Awsome as always, perfect accompaniment to my chilled Sunday brunch 👍❤️🇬🇧
Thank you, I needed this.
😊❤️
Fantastic vlog! And of course the wonderful Alan cam footage was a bonus. Has Alan let stardom go to her head yet? 🤣.
My favourite bit? All of this video
Nice music. Great episode. Question: Why not attach Rambler to the big boat? This way only one driver is needed. Might still have to do the locks separately, unless the lock is long enough or wide enough to take both boats. I think they call it a butty-boat. I think you have to rig it up right otherwise you might have problems with motor’s wash hitting the butty. Some have even rigged the butty to the front of the main boat. It might depend on whether Rambler is shallow drafted so the water can pass under it. You’ve probably already researched this and it is not as simple as it sounds. 😊
Really liked your new cameraman(girl) Alan. Her footage was a unique perspective.
What a fabulously amazing episode!!! Loved it! Ad well as ‘AlanCam’!! Brilliant 🤩🤩🤩
It looks like you're finding the rhythm of three vehicles. Looking forward to the new album too. Benny I think Alan needs her own musical theme for her little forays with the camera! Something stealthy maybe.
Well done Alan cam hope you feel better Amy and well done both on all your hard work good luck with the album tc now the oldies👍🤗👍🤗
Alan Cam!!!
Another great video. Thank you. Looking forward to Benny's album. ❤
I went off grid with a large version of a narrow boat set at my house. I started off with 2 80 watt panels to power the lights with a car battery. I ended up with 2 kilowatts of panels on the sheds. A 80 amp charge controller. 6 85 amp batteries wired to 24 volts. A 3.5 kilowatt mains inverter. The Chinese charge controller kept going wrong and over charging the system so I gave up and connected the panel to the grid. I used to have a immersion heater when the batteries were full so the power was diverted. I sure you can do this with your set up. Need to connect it to the charge controller so when it`s full it switches over.
Where ?? Do I buy new cd, friend back in uk got the first one for me.😊🎶
Hello! You can buy it on my bandcamp page , there is a link in the description of this video..😀
Always charming and amusing. A female cat called Alan. Doesn't get much better than that. Then there's the music and the nose piercings, roughly in that order. Many thanks. When I get my boat next year we might bump into each other or pass within a whisker if you are anywhere near Cheshire.
Great Cat Cam footage. I've never seen Allan so active.
Got to tell you ,my brother MSG me to say ,you both are just as nice on & off video ,He also as narrow boat ,could have met you on Ashby ,👍🐱
