A Merry Narrowboat Christmas 2022

- Опубліковано 23 гру 2022
- Season's greetings to you all and I hope Santa brings what you hoped for this year - least of all, the prospect of a better 2023 (if only it was as simple as changing the year) and more importantly, peace and goodwill to all 'humons'.
Join me in this festive video as Aslan and I make our way towards Great Haywood Junction, not only to begin filming for Season 9 of Travels by Narrowboat, but also to change Aslan's engine oil AND cook my Christmas dinner.
A very merry Christmas and a peaceful 2023 to everyone and cheers for watching,
Kevin

I hope Father Christmas brings you a new radio with improved reception. Enjoying the warmth; you must be chuffed with the Morso. Let's continue the conversation about good olde English tea. Kevin, your diligence for the drink of tea has led me to refrain from coffee and join in for a cuppa tea. I wanted to experience the fulfilled enjoyment for myself; "Yorkshire for shure" is just perfect. Merry Christmas "Gent of the Canals" and wishing you the best during this season's Holidays. Cheers.
Morso stoves are the best. I've enjoyed mine for years. Merry Christmas Kevin.
Merry Christmas, Kevin, Aslan, and all the viewers! And happy all the other holidays to those who are celebrating them.
Season's greetings to you Ann.
Great music, Kevin!
My husband and I have binge-watched your narrowboat videos with great joy. Over that time you have become very special to us, like family. You have opened up a world to us very different from Dallas, Texas USA. Thank you for sharing your world and your life, the joys and the tears. We have grown to love you and thank you for your excellent work. Blessings of happiness and health in 2023.
Thanks for the update. Am I the only person who felt a twinge of sorrow that such a fine and gentle man is alone on Christmas? This is the life Kevin's chosen and he's been quite clear on the 'aloneness' subject so I'll just rejoice in his happiness aboard Aslan and wish him a fantastic new year with many to follow.
Many thanks Rose. Yes this is the way I chose and so far, it's all good. Just the occasional 'dip'. Have a great New Year.
You've come so far Kevin from living in your campervan ,such a difference ,wish I was as brave as you.
Just ask yourself "what's the worst that can happen?" Have a merry Christmas, Stuart.
The sound of Aslan’s motor ticking over is almost a satisfying as the sound of your voice. Immediately noticed your great camera skill. Not just the quality & focus but how & what you frame. This is the Christmas present that I needed to make my day.
Enjoyed the piano background. That meal looked great.
So nice to hear “Merry Christmas” instead of the generic “Happy Holidays”. So a very Merry Christmas to you Kevin.
Also since I first watched you I have built myself campervan from a LWB Transit, I love it, not as good as a boat, but it's all I can afford, love your stuff, and you are a biker which is even better.
I'd say if I hadn't bought a boat, my old camper would have suited just fine - better in some instances. Merry Christmas,
Cheers Kevin, have a joyous holiday and a wonderful 2023. looking forward to your coming adventure.
Thannk you Steve and season's best wishes to you.
I was watching a UA-cam video (different channel, sorry Kevin) about the annual UK canal "2022 Narrowboat Vloggers Christmas Party" at the Boat House in Braunston. Looked for you in the video ;-) to see if you were given merited respect for CHG videos, but alas, no Kevin. You were probably busy blazing trails finding new adventures on the canals for Season 9. Thanks for adding joy to our Christmas. Merry Christmas.
I watched Boating Photographer's video of the 2022 Christmas Party and I was sure I saw Kevin (maybe in disguise?). Hope everyone is having a great Christmas.
A merry Christmas to you Pete. I wasn't at the Vloggers Xmas party as I wasn't invited, nor was I aware of it.
Merry Christmas Kevin and hopes for a good 2023... just pasted a very cold spell in the States so your weather looks lovely. Cheers!
Stay warm and have a great Christmas, Robert.
Happy Christmas to you, Kevin. Have a wonderful New Year. May 2023 be kind to us all! Cheers.
Oh how I’ve missed Azlan’s beautiful engine. I love her sound💕 Great vlog as always. God’s Blessings & Merry Christmas from Cobbs Creek Virginia, USA
Merry Christmas, Kevin. The food looked great. Here's to the Year of the Rabbit. Peace and prosperity to everyone.
Merry Christmas to you as well. Looking forward to next season’s videos as I am all caught up with all your other videos after finding you on prime. Even asked for your merchandise for Christmas! Cheers from Andrea in upstate NY
Cool, great to hear that Andrea. Merry Christmas to you. Cheers :)
Aslan's looking spiffing, Kevin! Have yourself a very merry Christmas and all the best for the new year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from North Carolina USA and Happy Holidays for those who may have different celebrations. For those Seinfield fans, Happy Festivus
Wonderful. And here's to another 12 months.
May God bless and embrace you in the coming year.
I knew the editing had to be a lot of work, but four days of editing to two days of cruising and videoing is true dedication.
Thank you for the work you do and especially the philosophical wisdom you share.
I love the meals you prep in your galley and the simplicity. I am fond of “sheet pan suppers” where the meat or fowl or fish and vegetables all go on one pan in the oven.
Despite the ‘worst of times’, you bring a smile to my face.
Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2023!
You are very welcome, thank you. Season's best wishes to you,
Merry Christmas Kevin, looking forward to season 9
Merry Christmas Kevin 🌲
Of all the narrowboat youtubers, we follow you and love every video! best of 2023 to you from Vermont USA
Cheers, Kevin. I do enjoy hearing Aslan. I have visions of someday being along the canal towpath and hearing that signature sound, looking around and going, “Oh, look! It’s you!” no plans to head to the UK, not gonna get anywhere near an airplane or an airport anytime soon. Just a nice dream. That Christmas dinner looks delicious! All your food that you fix in that small, efficient space looks delicious! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
Merry Christmas Lynette. Yes, I'm often told that people knew it was me coming from the sound of Aslan.
Cheers, Kevin! Always happy when you pop up in my feed! No snow here in the mountains, but the coldest Christmas of my life. Making Lemoncello for gifts this year. Glad you are ready to begin Season 9! Can’t wait.
Had food poisoning? YES but not form my cooking. Love your videos, keep them coming.
so satisfying, seeing Aslan scrubbed up, shiny as a new penny, and yourself fit and active, simultaneously cooking a major meal and pulling maintenance on the Petter McLaren B2 -- I'm eagerly anticipating the new year and season 9 CHG videos!! Have a happy and safe Christmas, Kevin!!
Have a great festive season Larry. I'll let you into a little secret . . . there's two of me. :D
@@CountryHouseGent that explains a lot😄
Thank you Kevin, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, too! Looking forward to Season 9!
Thanks Pamela. The best of season's wishes to you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Wishes for 2023
To your Adventures in 2023, All the very best from Scotland.
Many blessings and much happiness to you in 2023, Kevin. 💝
Merry Christmas Kevin from Wildwood, New Jersey. 🌲
Great to see you and Aslan traveling again.
Kevin, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year....🎄🎁
A toast to yourself and all 👍
Merry Christmas Kevin! Good to see you with Aslan again. I get some good tips from watching you cook. And yes, I have had food poisoning but never with my homecooked meals. It was from a hamburger at my favorite hamburger joint..
Heck, bet you never went there again, Karen? Have a great festive season.
@@CountryHouseGent You are so right. I drive by thinking of how great their burgers used to be. lol
happy Christmas Kevin nice to see you back on Aslan. Hope 2023 is a good year for you x
Mary Christmas and Happy new year. I enjoy your video's, and look forward to seeing the new season. Be safe and god bless.
From Lafayette Indiana
Same to you Sally, thank you.
I still like the sound of your boat
Thanks for the upload, Kev. You have probably forgotten what most of us can remember about working engines! I will just wish you the best for Christmas and the New Year, and thank you for the pleasure you have given us in an otherwise dreary 2022!
You're very welcome Dan and yes, here's to a more uplifting 2023. Merry Christmas.
Agree that 2023 is going to be 'phoenix from the flames' territory. Also agree the work on 'working engines' is taking me back. There's something quite nostalgic about a 'duff-duff' engine. I trained as a mechanical engineer. Ironically I moved into IT (which was the very thing I saw as killing the mechanics of engineering). Kevin is showing me the old is the new new.
Wow! Those brass rings shine! Aslan is the best looking boat out there! Well done! Thanks for the Christmas video. Cheers to a new year!
Warm greetings to you too, Kevin, and all the best for 2023.
Kevin, Merry Christmas from Al and Bobbie Gallia in Lafayette, Louisiana USA. We have watched and enjoyed your Aslan travels and occasional travails since the beginning of Covid and still do. We are so happy to see you settle down on your boat again, as we do love your beautiful canal videos and your casual style. Your weekly episodes are part of our relaxation schedule so thank you! You are in our prayers for continuing happiness and health as we travel with you. Blessings and peace.
Thank you Al and Gallia. Season's best wishes to you,
I didn’t know you had reconnected with Aslan…..i thought someone wanted to buy her. Wishing you both a nice feet up time over Christmas and maybe you can work it that you both get a change of oil. I will raise my glass of “Oil” to you both tomorrow. I have a nice long list, so should be a very pleasant day (hic). Thanks for last years news, hope the coming year is a zinger !!!
Hi Rikki. No, Aslan hasn't been up for sale. Season's greeting to you.
Merry Christmas Kevin! I hope 2023 is a great year for all of us. Looking forward to your adventures in the upcoming year. Cheers my friend!
Merry Christmas from Tennessee USA
Thank you Kevin for another great season of your travels! Wishing you all the best for 2023. Cheers from Vancouver Island 🇨🇦!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Kevin and all VLOG followers, wishing you the Best of everything, it's been a pleasure, traveling along with you throughout all of your adventures. Be safe, looking forward to season #9, Jake from New Jersey USA.

Merry Christmas and happy wishes for 2023!
Hi Kevin. I gave myself a Christmas treat and watched your Christmas address on der big telly instead of ipad. Very enjoyable. I remember last Christmas dinner. Your cooking skills are to be admired and have not diminished over the months. Plus a quick oil drain and fill while dinner is cooking. Loved the piano accompaniment during dinner, very sophisticated. Oh and the addition of English mustard, especially with tattles. As always I look forward to your next one. Until then, be safe and happy. Best wishes and a happy new year.
Aslan is looking truly lovely, and you’re looking happy and healthy! Enjoy your evening and we’ll see you in mid Jan☺️it will be nice to hear her chugging away again!
Splendid Christmas evening....Here's to a wonderful year ahead🎄
Merry Chistmas Kevin all the very best for 2023. May you float happily in 2023 enjoy season 9.

Merry Christmas to you Kevin and Aslan. Enjoyed this episode and now I must get something to eat. 2023 is going to be better. Let’s all use our will power and bring back traditions and genuine normal behaviors.
Looking forward to your next adventures!
Glad to see you Kevin, Merry Christmas!! Aslan looks brillo. Since the last time I've commented we've immigrated back to the UK, were now in the NW, and every single time we pass over a canal we look for Aslan. Still hoping to see you at some point. Cheers and all the best!
