    Hi everyone! I'm very close to 8,000 subscribers. So if you enjoy these vlogs and you are not subscribed at the moment, please consider subscribing, it's free. And it would help my little channel over the 8,000 subs mark.
    I'd also like to thank the people that bought me a coffee on the last vlog (such kind people) here's the link to buy me a coffee www.buymeacoffee.com/vinparker3M you could also for the price of one coffee a month become a member on the app. As for the members, I try to make two extra behind the scenes vlogs a month. Hope you all enjoyed the vlog, have a lovely evening Vince & Ashby!

    Hi Vince,
    It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and spend time with you, thank you for the mention as well. This is a cracking vlog and you've really captured the essence of this stunning stretch of canal. Thank you for moving 'Aitch' forward as well so we could moor up and wait for the lock gate to be fixed, you're an absolute gent. Take care pal, stay strong, and hopefully we'll meet up with you and Ashby again at some point on our journeys.
    Andy & Lesley

      Hi Andy & Lesley! The little mention was the least I could do! Thanks for taking my mind off of things, and tell Lesley that the cake she made was the best I've eaten for ages. Hope to bump into you again sometime. All the best Vince!

    Sorry to hear about your mum, I lost my mum when I was 23 . That was 52 years ago, the bottom fell out of my dads and my world. Mum is always with me though and so will your mum be with you. Phil.

    That was a very lovely video Dad, very pretty countryside and village. I can’t believe the price of those private moorings that we see, what a strange rule they can’t even eat their own fruit they grow 😂 how does that make sense? Would be lovely to have a one though. Panny Nat will be missed very much, she was one of the strongest and happiest ladies I knew, which I will always admire ❤️ I will miss seeing her little comments on here. She loved watching your vlogs. Love you dad xxxxx

    Such sad news about Aunt Pat, I really appreciate you messaging me right after it happened. Such a special lady. You and Debbie and always in my thoughts. That looks like a great spot to retire, some extra land, growing veggies and more but expensive. Proud to have popular Ashby as my doggie cousin. As always I love seeing around the small villages you get to.

    Hello Vince,
    Christine and I are pleased to see you back. we do miss Pats comments and humour.
    Nice video Vince it brings out the english countryside with the summer in full swing.
    I rang up fenny marina a few years ago about mooring for a while, they made a fuss about the boats condition, and was it still being fitted out, if you live on board many of us are always busy doing little jobs! As it turned out our old boat is a little wide to get throuh one of the Napton locks, which needs the chamber re bricking (we have done Oxford many times in previous boats).
    Looking forward to 8,000 and upward.😀
    All the best C&P

    • @NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle
      @NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle  Рік тому +2

      Cheers mate! I thought it was strange to see that marina half empty. I thought it would down to penny pinching, and too expensive! All the best to you both and I'll see you on the next one!

    First: Many condolences on your loss. May her memory always be a blessing.
    Second: Cropredy is, in fact, a lovely village. They very much are supported by the fact that Fairport Convention have been holding their annual festival there for years, and every year 20,000 very friendly folk-rock fans decend on them for 3-4 days in August and spend their money.
    The Brasenose in particular used to be the band's local, and holds its own 'Fairport Fringe Festival'. :)
    It's much less sleepy for that weekend!

    That was a lovely trip, Vince, thanks for taking us along. Condolences to you and your family for the loss of your Mum, I bet she loved her travels on Aitch. The moorings did look lovely, but if you can't even eat your own apples, then I reckon you'd be best off swerving them when you win the lottery.

    Not sure about the comment of “not taking anything from the Government”. What about the grant to the CRT to keep the canals functioning ? Or the roads on which lorries deliver food and collect rubbish? And so much more. It’s not really possible to be totally off grid however hard we might try. We are all part of society to some extent
    Anyway, sorry to hear of your loss, which is by far the greatest issue here

    Hi Vince, thank you for taking us on another journey through the UK's great countryside and explaining the rules of the permanent moorings. My uncle owned a farm in North Wales, he built an extra house because of the large family. The girls married and moved away; my eldest cousin took over the running of the farm. But the other two had employment that took them abroad. The newer house remained empty as it could not be let or sold to anyone not employed on the farm.
    I'm so sorry to hear the sad news of your mum passing, may she rest in peace.
    Thanks for posting and stay safe out there.
