This will be last vlog for a little while. Just taking a break for a few weeks to get re-freshed for hopefully some better vlogs in the future. Let me know what/ where you'd like to see in the future. Might totally mix things up or I might continue the story I'm already telling. Thanks for all the love and make sure you're subscribed with the notifications switched on, so you know when I'm back. Much love xXx
Good for you, Hannah!! Enjoy your break ❤
Enjoy your break, Hannah!
Sorry to hear, but understand breakes do wonders to the mind and soul. I hope everything is ok? All the best!😊
Honestly whatever you share I’ll be here on Fridays! Have a great break!
Should do another cruise vlog..or one in either Tenerife or Benidorm
As a child in the 70’s , I remember walking along the road beside ‘Little Venice’ and looking in a window of 1 of those beautiful houses. It was winter, a few days before Christmas and what caught my attention was the most beautiful sight of a dining room situated at the front of the house, all set up for a Christmas dinner . There was a long dining room table with a beautiful long, white table cloth, crystal glasses, porcelain table ware and silver cutlery. There was a fireplace and a huge Christmas tree! It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen!
It was especially beautiful, because in those days London was pretty drab. There was a big divide between rich and poor, there were strikes for everything, rubbish piled the streets, electricity strikes left us sitting in the dark and cold of an evening and IRA bomb threats everywhere you went. The good old days….😊
We have load shedding at the moment here In South Africa, meaning no electricity for 2 hours, every 6 hours , so husband and I are sitting in the dark watching your vid. ❤
Oh gosh! Hope you are ok!
Yeah loadshedding is the worst😢
Does it happen frequently??
SA has had it on and off since 2007. So many years. But got progressively worse over the last 4 years. So we have it every day, some areas up to 4 hours at a time other, like in my area is two hours at a time but happens every 6 hours. But south Africans are adaptable and relisliant. As long as I can make a pot of tea and watch you tube I'm OK. But it has unfortunately crippled our beautiful country.
@@bethb7965 yes, here in Port Elizabeth, it goes off for two hours every 6 hours, staggered by suburb. And I work in the next suburb up, so sometime means from when I get up, until 10 tea at the office, we will. Have no power
You don't have to be expert on the history of these boats. I'm just happy you showing london through your eyes. Never be to hard on yourself. Have a fab break & hope you can show us the best pubs & Rooftop bars in london in amongst the other stuff you have been doing. Best wishes 🙏
I lived in London twice and I have still never been to Little Venice... I swear this city had a million secrets and it's true, how could you ever be bored of it while there is still life left in you?? Great vlog!
me too?!
One of the best summers of my childhood, was spent piloting a narrowboat along the Avon River with my family. It was delightful fun going through the locks, stopping at various pubs along the route for a good Ploughman’s Lunch, or having Afternoon Tea along the banks. Little Venice seems quite nice as well! How lucky you are to have access to such a wonderful neighborhood. All the best from Los Angeles! Keep making videos, we enjoy them a great deal. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 🙂👍🏻
Another fun fact regarding the Black Country; it’s where Tolkien (who grew up in nearby Birmingham) got the inspiration from to create the land of Mordor. Dudley’s black polluted skies were the perfect backdrop for Middle-earth’s most evil setting. Dudley is also famed for having more canals than Venice and being home to the worlds largest teapot.
Thank you for reminding us of Tolkien’s connections to the area!
Hmmm, Hannah, would a trip to Oxford be possible?
Yes Yes Yes please consider that!!!
And it so happens that’s where most if not all of the Caribbean folks who came via Windrush ended up. Purely coincidental, I’m sure🤔
@@pinnyloper3434 Lenny Henry made a joke of it once, he said they saw the sign's for the Black Country and said; 'Oh look, they've named a place after us, lets get the domino's out'. Then he went full circle and appeared in the new Lord of the Rings TV show, what are the odds!
Ah, what an amazing vlog to start your holiday with. Hannah, I know you are very conscious about the duration of the vlogs, but I could have watched another 30 mins of this. It's seriously awesome!! Enjoy your time away from us. You shall be missed. Just keep doing exactly what you do... or what you enjoy! You're clearly doing something so incredibly right with 112K subscribers! Stay safe and love xx
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽hear hear
A HUGE thank you @HannahRicketts for your dedication to bring us the best content every week.
Wishing you a harmonious break. You definitely deserve it 🤗
Hannah, my wife and I in New York love your videos and this is another great one! Little Venice is one of our favorite areas. You really bring London to life in so much detail. We really look forward to your future videos and will definitely have some suggestions of places we'd like to see.
Come back Hannah! Fridays are not the same without you😥😭😭😥😢 I enjoy anything you post
Your Vlogs during lockdown were actually comforting
Little Venice to Camden Town was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had in London!
We're missing you! Can't wait for you to come back.
We love your content. Keep it up. We will be in London in September and much of our itinerary is based on things we have seen in your vlogs. All the best. Brett and Michaela from Gisborne Australia
As I watched I felt like singing MOON RIVER🎶You dream maker, you heartbreaker❤💔--wherever you're going I'm going your way🎶Since we must part--here is my heart--Til we meet again--in June or July!😢 By the way, the photography quality for this vlog was exceptionally good!
I colourgraded it.. so glad it looked better
I started watching your vlogs during lockdown - got totally fascinated by all the Disney ones - but my favourites were the lockdown walks around London, so this looks quite familiar! So lovely to see how it’s come back to life. (By the way, the Black Country Museum is a really brilliant day out!). Hope you have a good rest - we’ll miss you though! xx
What an amazing vlog Hannah! All this area of London is really very beautiful. It's so cool to see so many people and cool boats. I didn´t know this canal had so many boats sailing in there, I thought the majority of them were just boats 🛥transformed into houses and restaurants. Have a wonderful break for relaxing 😎, you really deserve it! Happy FriYay to you!!! 😀🌹🏵🌸🌻🌷
I am utterly charmed by the narrow boats and this scenery. I have been here on your channel since before the lockdown. I remember your lockdown walks well. How wonderful to see this area busy and bustling with people again. You have brought us such joy. Have a wonderful break. Bless you.
I saved watching this video for Sunday morning and it was worth the wait. What a super fun video!! Loved the colors of the boats, the atmosphere, posi vibes all around 🤗 😋🙋♀️ More of this please, including outings with your nieces now and again….mixed in with your shopping of course. Love the shops. Have a great break and see ya soon 😊
Hi Hannah, Thanks for this wonderful, fun, flog by Maida Vale, Little Venice and into Paddington Basin. It has such great memories for us because we were involved in a campaign to save the Paddington Basin from being filled in and built over! We are so pleased we were successful and to se it now on your lovely vlog being used in such a lovely, fun way so that people of all ages can enjoy being there for years to come. Very best wishes, Christina and Nick, Crediton, Devon `UK.🙂👋🙂
So happy to have stumbled on your channel! I’ve always dreamed of going to England, thank you for posting a peak-a-look into places I’ve always wanted to see. Bless!
Hi Hannah, wonderful vlog...so relaxing! You will certainly be missed, but it's so understandable that you need a break! Have a wonderful break! Look forward to your return. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, it's beautiful. Take really good care of yourself, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x (Ontario, Canada)
Hi from Vancouver Washington. You have done great work. I will visit London because of what you have shared each week. Thank you for making time to show your beautiful places and I look forward to your return. ❤
Hannah you are always so spot on. I love to have your vlogs just playing as a background to my day. You always provide useful bits of insight. My son likes you so much. He thinks you are one of top 5 vloggers in the world. For myself you are #1. Best from Florida
Always love your vlogs Hannah.💜😊. You teach me so much about London.🇬🇧 One day we will travel to the UK and just stay put in London ....🌷🌷
Hi Hannah, I'm going to miss my Saturday morning breakfasts watching your vlogs. Don't be away too long as we will all miss you, I was in London last week and had a wonderful time especially at Camden & Notting Hill. Looking forward to your return have a nice break take care x
Great vlog subject matter and looking great. Enjoy your rest and relaxation - we all need to rejuvenate once in a while, and it gets tiresome when your hobby becomes job-like. When you get back I hope there is a chance for Hannah to hit the road!
Loved this! Will miss your new vlogs but have lots of old ones to see when we need our Hannah fix. Enjoy your break!
Thanks Hannah I'll miss your videos but you deserve a break. You're my London tour guide.
Cara Hannah, ci manchi, ci mancano i tuoi meravigliosi video. Ma è giusto andare in vacanza. Ti mandiamo un abbraccio. Franca e Salvo. 👏👏👍👍🍀🍀🍀💐💐💐
This is one of my fav travel channels bc she's so funny and so relatable. Yes, we like your hair!
Little Venice is great. I visited it in the autumn last year. So peaceful. Love the boat cafe.
It's great to see all the different parts of London you visit..
Have you been to Columbia Road the flower market?
yes but it's not really worth it these days for the travel there
Thanks for these videos! Great information and very easy listening. Good fun while planning a trip to London. 🎉
Enjoy the break, I did love your previous vlogs when you were walking in the spring gardens
Enjoy your time off Hannah! Relax and God bless you with peace and joy.
Love your hair Hannah keep up the good work! I really need to visit London soon ❤ from 🏴
Thank you for all of your hard work and positive energy. Enjoy your break.
Wish I could get my hands on one of those cakes!
Fab video, Hannah. Don't stress about the pictures. All looks great, as usual. You queried: river house = lock keeper's cottage. Barge freight = yes, freight is correct. Crepe or crape? = there's no 'a' in crepe. You're welcome.
In the evening on the Sunday they had an illuminated boat parade that was brilliant, so next year worth popping back out for that.
What a vlog to end on. Will miss you on your down time, but everyone needs it. Enjoy, refresh. Will wait with batted breath.See you soon.Donna from North Carolina.
Oh i have been here. The secret garden by the river. Absolutely gorgeous
My husband found your channel when he was planning our trip to London and Paris last year. We watch a lot of ‘walk around’ videos and take a break from those for your wonderful tours and delightful commentary. Your personality is bright and infectious. We JUST noticed you post Fridays and we’re looking forward to this week when we noticed in the chat you were taking a break! We are so sad 🥲 BUT as others have commented…we will be here when you return! Have a restful break. We wish you the very best! (Fans from Chicago)
You are priceless. 🥰🥰🥰 Wind spiny thing🤣🤣🤣 thank you brilliant as always
That was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! Hannah, I LOVED!!! every minute of it. Thank you🙂👍💐xx
Your hair is always top class Hannah, just like your wonderful self. Have an excellent well deserved rest. I'm I speak for many of us on here that we are grateful for anything you create, regardless of how often. Hopefully you are enjoying some nice Spring weather - down South it is lovely today - as you say - long overdue. C
Hello Miss Hannah the more videos I watch about your "little" home town I'm starting to appreciate just how massive London is 😳. My home town of Los Angeles has nothing on you guys 😅. Keep those those videos coming, you're getting really good at it... Highly recommend them... CHEERS 🥂🌹🥂
This looks like so much fun! I loved seeing those doctor who stamps ❤ Another fantastic tour vlog Hannah!!✨🥰✨ what a difference it looks since your lockdown videos
I have never been here😢 thank you for your vlog❤
Great video, Hannah, much enjoyed! How lucky are you to live in that part of London, with all that on your doorstep! I live "oop north" now, but used to live in the Kingston area, so have always loved and enjoyed the river life. My brother worked for a boat builders there, and I always remember how he fell in the Thames on his first day! I also lived in Marlow when much younger, so very familiar with there and Cookham. I went to Great Marlow Sec School. Anyway, always love your videos, and your girly excitement at things you like and enjoy! Keep up the good work, you are very entertaining and provide a great insight into your life in London.
Hannah I follow a lot of you tube narrowboat vlogs - Cruising the Cut, Weir on the Move, Robbie Cummings , Country House Gent and it seems a great life. Foxes Afloat included the build of their new boat and it was just fabulous. Minimal List have just outfitted their boat after cruising the entire network over the last few years it has been extraordinary. Some of the those boats look really comfortable and it is called 'canal time' you learn to slow down and appreciate your surroundings/life. Your vlog was so entertaining because you were having a good time and I would love to go to the festival one year if I ever get to the UK. Thank you for sharing.
Ah, all familiar names! 😁 Also worth subscribing to, Holly the Cafe Boat, they are even raising their toddler on board. And a number of other narrowboaters are likewise worth the time. And the stories of the people, such as Michael and Jo of Minimal List are also interesting.
What a beautiful part of London, just lovely!
Lived in London on and off for a couple of years and never saw Little Venice. It's so cute! It reminds me of Amsterdam's canals
So much fun! Thx for sharing the event & the Posi Vibes 😁
Loved the tour Hannah, we own a narrowboat based on the Llangollen Canal in Wales, she’s 60ft long by 6ft 4ins wide with all mod cons including solar panels, central heating, shower, fridge freezer, TV, oven, grill, 4 ring hob & microwave, lovely double bed & a wood burning stove for Winter which makes everything smell gorgeous. We’ve got 3 dogs, a black lab, a collie & a small terrier, all rescue dogs, they all love it & it must be great having new smells every other day. The speed limit is 4miles an hour, steer to the left for right & steer left for right, it’s a bit confusing at first but your brain soon adapts. It’s about £1200 a year for the canal licence for constant cruising, that gives unlimited use of the canal network with set mooring times for the boat, 24hr, 48hrs, 7days, during Winter for about 5months the rules change & mooring times can be extended. We’re based in a Marina so we get the best of both worlds, we can cruise or stay put depending on our moods. During lockdown we couldn’t visit but the chaps on the Marina were great at keeping their eyes in her for up. We don’t do very extended cruises we like between a fortnight up to a month, long enough for the dogs & us. It’s just like a floating caravan but much quieter & quite a lot less stress. Sorry if I’ve rambled on but seeing the festival made me want to pack & go but we’ll be off for a few weeks next month for a jaunt to Ellesmere before the school holidays. Stay safe & much love xxxx🛟🛟⚓️🛥
Absolutely loved this! It was such fun to see all those boats & happy people. We’ll miss you next Friday but totally understand.
I had heard of Little Venice but never watched any videos so thanks for showing us.
So fun. Cool event. Thanks for sharing. Your music choice fitted perfectly.
Wonderfully informative videos! Love listening to the names with the your French accent! Beautiful! Merci!
Beautiful as always 🌸 thanks Hannah....have a great weekend
@Hannah Ricketts, I love the video especially the bit with the saxophonist and the Caribbean food. That food looked amazing! 😊
I ate at that little cafe over the canal when I last visited London and it was wonderful. I’ll be in your fabulous city again in June and hope to walk the canal again. London is my second home. Love it
Thanx Hannah for being such an awesome babe .... have a nice break and can hardly wait to see you and your new vlogs soon...
Kind of reminds me of the San Antonio, Texas River Walk. Charming! ❤
There at 13:17, the candle powered steam boats, "Pop Pop Boats", they go back to at least the 1890s with record of a patent on the motor system by a Thomas Piot, a French - British inventor. And then they became popular in other countries too.
Camden to Little Venice walk is amazing, one great way to tire out the pooches. And the vibe, it's just amazing. Enjoy your rest Hannah.
Beautiful! Thanks Hannah it looks so tranquil yet historic! Love those pictures on the river boats.. Blessings and happy thoughts! 🎉❤🎉😇🙏🎊🌹
What a fantastic video tour. The neighborhood is gorgeous and all that's going on the weekend you were there just looks delightful! Thanks so much for sharing part of your Sunday...
Enjoyed this a lot, great editing! You really get a sense of it and the vibe of the area. I’m seeing so many cool things in these videos. Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for all you do to bring us to London, Hannah!! 💖🌸🌺🌷🌹
Thanks for another great video. I ❤when you say bits & bobs 😂 . Very insightful and beautiful neighborhood. Have a great weekend.
What a happy morning! So cool to see.
Have great break....you deserve it❤
Wonderful vlog Hannah, definitely on my bucket list now. Loved it!
Those painted watering cans and the cabin door paintings have a long tradition on the narrowboats.
Definitely a must visit, for me, when next in London. 👍✨ (Though on a much smaller scale, Chester has a most pleasant, city canal walk, up to a series of locks and basin, where enthusiasts have regular meets and social days in the Summer). I love the way the changing seasons reflect on canal life flora and fauna, so always a chance of seeing something fresh. To have that, on your London doorstep, must be FAB! 💖🦆🦉🦋🐝🌼🍂 ✨
Great video Hannah, Little Venice looks gorgeous! Never been, must go.
Hannah, i'm late to this one! Just about to watch,but have a great time off, you super deserve it. I absolutely love your content.I actually feel this is a homage to my era! Growing up in the 90's with Rosie and Jim, Rupert the Bear 😂LOVE IT!Your just a staple of my weekend eve! Take care lovely, see you soon 🤍⭐🥂👑🇬🇧
Wow so good I could feel the atmosphere through ,you have a good break rest up. Thanks again for all your videos.
Beautiful boats beautiful hair beautiful day..as always great vlog Enjoy your weekend and your vacation 😊❤😊
Oh Hannah, you make me miss living in England! Love that fairground/Sunday Market vibe ❤
Another stellar tour of Little Venice! Beautiful!
This was a great vlog about Little Venice, and this festival looked like a fun visit (the food prices though!😲) The 60a film "Georgy Girl" with Lynne Redgrave and Charlotte Rampling, about two very different friends living at the start of swinging London, was filmed in part here - a good watch! Have a restful and enjoyable break, Hannah - you deserve it!
have a great break love your vlogs and seeing london through them excellent video
Hi Hannah
Lovely vlog…really enjoyed it.
It’s always great to be by the river/canal.
Hope you enjoy your break…will miss you.
Your hair looks great!
Just want to say that you deserve a rest after all the wonderful work that you have put into these videos. I don’t go to London. London comes to me because of you Looking forward to seeing you again after your rest. Rebecca xx
Great way to start the weekend with a Hannah vlog and my morning coffee. Have a great break Hannah.
That was a lovely vid. I had never been to little Venice although born and brought up in London (50yrs ago moved to Midlands in my 20s). My older sister has a narrow boat for leisure and has gone from here to London to visit relatives. It is a wonderful community ❤️ 😊
Thanks for showing me little Venice
Watching in Bedfordshire and looking for new places to visit on London 😊
Loved your pronunciation of crepe (crap) made me laugh 😁
Have a lovely break, look forward to a new refreshed Hannah when you get back ☺️
Love little Venice.was there few weeks ago with my teen girls we got a coffee from the coffee shop overlooking the canal and walked to Camden.great vlog thanks x
Nice video! They’re all very fun to watch. Thank you for a glimpse into your life. One of the things in England, that I thought was very odd was how small the ice creams are it’s barely a bite! In the United States, it’s a sample size.
Loved this Hannah. You really captured a mellow vibe there. I looked after my mates flat whenever he was away and he lived near Little Venice. Just loved it round there. Loving your work.
Hello from Rhodes, Greece. Another fantastic video. Thank you so much my beautiful,young lady. Hugs and kisses 😘😊
Love seeing the canal boats! And how fun, a puppet theater boat, nice to see old time fun. Is cream tea what it sounds like, tea with cream??? Have a fun and relaxing break! See you when you return. 😘
Really enjoying your videos! Hope you have a relaxing time away!
Thanks, Hannah. Interesting video. I've been past where you visited many times but not visited. Looks really good. That would be a nice day out with family and friends. See u on the next video.
I've often thought romantically about living on a canal boat - then, in 2019 I moved from a two bed house into a one bed flat! The move was horrendous, I had to get rid of so much, it was extreme downsizing. One of the 'good' things about my move was that it happened just before the pandemic/lockdown so I was able to spend many months planning storage and how I was going to live. The bonus was that my one bed flat has amazing views from every aspect - my previous two bed house was a terrace and faced nothing but other terraced housing. I don't think I could cope with a smaller home - enjoy your break!
I love Little.Venice, just so.pretty. We used to get the narrow boat down the canal to Camden market going through Regents park zoo. I love narrow boats and have had many a wonderful holiday on different canals. I could easily live on a narrow boat, but perhaps not in winter!!
