Well done guys . A whole year where has that gone. I remember Liz you emptying your wardrobe and you saying how strange things feel . Every week, I look forward to your vlogs . You're both so entertaining. Again, congratulations, and look forward to the next year.❤
Congratulations Liz, Paul & Ern on your 1st year afloat. Always look forward to your vlogs - they always put a smile on my face. Looking forward to seeing your 2nd year travels. Stay safe.
Congratulations on 12 months on board... I'm sure Ernie doesn't think its rrruubish! He looks very comfortable. Thanks for the vlogs - alway enjoy them.
Thank you so much. Ernie loves this lifestyle as much as we do, I think the only thing he dislikes is having to leave all his dog friends he makes along the way 😉😊
Well it doesn't seem like one year. It's be wonderful watching you three, you have done so well and made lovely vlogs from the start. We have watched you from the start and will continue to watch. Fun, fun and laughs all the way. Just love you three.x
Thank you so much Jayne and we are glad you enjoy the videos. Thank you for supporting us by watching and commenting from the start. We appreciate it loads and can't wait to share more adventures with you 😊
Well done for your first year on the Cut guys! You both should be proud of your achievements, it takes guts and courage to do what you've done and I'm extremely jealous. Fair weather and smooth cruising😊
Happy 1 year anniversary. 🎉. As the saying goes the minority spoil things for the majority. It doesn't take much to put rubbish in a bag and dispose of it properly. They carried it there in the first place. Sorry about the rant. Take care and stay safe. ATB to you all. X
Congratulations on your first year abroad time does fly when ur having fun, you both have done so much to the boat in this first year inside and out. The banter between you two is funny at times😂 but this makes you so lovable and a pleasure to watch 😊, I'm in the throws of painting my boat at the moment so long winded due to the weather. Thanks again great vlog. 👍

It's good how you both are loving what you are doing. It comes out in the vlogs. Specially with Paul's sneaky little laugh. Loving being on the journey with you.
Kia ora (Hello) Liz, Paul & Captain Ernie 🙂 CONGRATULATIONS on your 1st year of Narrowboating on 27th July 2024 on the canals. 🙂 Plus well done on 93 episodes completed too 🙂Loving the drone footages, Paul's wee ranties too.... and your info on the history as you travel along, as well as Ernies input into the outro too 🙂nz
Hope you have many more years cruising the canal network. (Assuming CRT maintain it). Thank you for sharing with us and for all the work you put in to producing these vlogs. Happy cruising!
Happy 1 Year Boating Anniversary Liz, Paul & Ernie. 🎉 I know Summer's gone now, but have you got one of those coolly mats for Ernie to lie on, our Dog Loved hers. It won't help with the shade though. TFS, & take care you 3. 👍🐶
I agree with you100% on rubbish dumping, take their crap with them when they leave, they have no respect at all for other users of the canal and waterways. And yes it is a lot of foreign people that do that, i have had encounters with them myself and that is factual not racist. Ps another good video. 🇬🇧👍
Loved this! Took me back to June. We were stuck on the other side of Stoke for 2 days due to a closure. So when it opened we needed to make up for time. We had the most gorgeous mooring near the Red Bull Services. The Red Bull pub did the best meal we had on the holiday. They keep the moorings pristine along that stretch. So we decided to do Red Bull Services to Middlewich in one day. I can't even remember how many locks that was. A lot!! Congratulations on your first year aboard 🎉🥂
Congratulations guys. One year on, with many more to follow I'm sure. Thank you for sharing so much of it with us. It's always a pleasure and a treat. As Roger said below, we always end up smiling.
Having watched this vlog we have gone back and started watching all of the episodes from the beginning. Fantastic- your boat is absolutely beautiful. It has given us lots of ideas. We live in Türkiye atm but planning to return to buy a boat to start cruising. Keep the vlogs going. We love Ernie ❤
Hi Diane, I must apologise for the quality of the earlier videos we did, you will be forgiven for pressing the fast forward button 🤣 good luck with your plans and may see you on the cut one day 😊
Dear Liz, Paul, Captain Ernie and narrowboat Assumption, "How time flies while having fun", to all four of you congratulations on your anniversary. I am envious of your lifestyle and wish that Canada had a province with a canal system like Britain's. I would be on them in a heart beat. There is no perfect scenario or place so one has to make the best of what they have. For you, if you have rowdy/noisy neighbors you can move; for a home or flat owner moving is not necessary an option. After watching many UA-cams by boaters, it has become apparent that boats have their own personalities. Due to this it is important that boat owners form a relationship with their boats or else like a human relationship things get unpleasant. Like you and Paul, couples who live on a boat must have a special relationship or else the confined space would tear you apart. Cabin fever is real and comes in many forms and at anytime. Liz thank you for those wonderful drone shots as it really puts things into a different perspective. Keep doing what you are doing and may all four of you grow old and grey on the canals of Britain. Mark Alberta, Canada
You are absolutely right, each boat is different and has its very own personality and over the 2 years of owning her and the 1 year of living on her we have learnt a lot about her and her little quirks. We are very, very thankful to be able to live this life and although you are unable to do this in Canada, I hope that being with us on our journey each week gives you a little taste of it from where you are in the world. 😊
Hi Liz, Definitely, you and the other narrowboaters provide me much pleasure in a lifestyle that I am not be able to experience. Sadly, though, some of the other experienced narrowboaters have moved on to other life adventures. Happy for them, but will miss them. As I said before, may you four grow old and grey on the canals of Britain. Thank you so much for sharing something so personal, safe boating. Mark Alberta, Canada@@uponreflection
Happy aniversay! When you look back at the early vlogs and how aprehensive you were, and how far you've come the pair of you and erns. You've always been upbeat and a laugh to watch, with Liz's smile and Pauls grouchy fizzog haha! :) The beauty of you two is you can see the great relationship between you and the sheer joy of being on the canals. I'm not being soppy or anything but you do really epitomise what boating is supposed to be all about. Long may it continue guys!! Love ya :) ps: that sounds a bit weird but I mean as freinds haha :)
Argh what a lovely comment. We absolutely love boat life, it sure does come with its ups and downs but life is just too short to focus on the negatives and create a drama from them isn't it. So here's to lots more adventures and throughly grateful beautiful days on the cut. It's been fab having you with us on our journey via these weekly videos and we thank you for this and for sharing your comments with us every week as we love them. You always bring a smile to our faces when we read your comments so a massive thank you for that 😍😊
Congratulations on your 1 yeaar anniversary... and well done to ernie he's come along way to getting used to living on a boat and sitting up front keeping you two in control..... so well done Ernie, great Vvlogs guys, lovely to see the Cheshire countryside, I've been to the Big Lock and Kings lock a few times when we have travelling back to the UK.... lovely spot.
Congratulations I can’t believe I’ve been watching you videos for a year and they just keep getting better. Keep safe can’t wait to see the next year of adventures ❤️
We've been doing the videos for 2 years so if you've watched since the renovation started then it's 2 years but a year since we moved onboard and starting Continuous cruising 😉 Either way, we thank you for your continued support in watching and hope you continue to enjoy this journey with us 😊
Great vlog again loved the drone footage of the Cheshire locks done them a few times both directions but never seen them from the air. Well done doing your first year 👏
I have been kind of following you for a while now (bloody youtube suggestions) Finally subscribed and hit the bell etc as this particular video struck me with your honesty and Your view on life etc. not trying to make boatlife something it may not be! Top channel i feel.
I live in Falkirk. We have the Falkirk Wheel which is said to be a great piece of engineering & seems to be quite an attraction for visitors. Its where the Union Canal links with the Forth & Clyde Canal. Have you heard of it.. there's also "The Kelpies" to visit. Great channel, like seeing all in the countryside & watching your wee dog knowing he's truly cherished & loved. Wishing good health follows him always so to enjoy sharing a long happy life with you.❤x
good night Ernie Liz and Paul i love watching your videos on your UA-cam channel how is Ernie please say hi to Ernie for me I hope that you are all well and enjoying your adventures on your narrowboat I want to say thank you for all of your videos that you make for everyone to watch on your UA-cam channel Please keep up the good work on your youtube channel please keep safe and warm
Happy 1st boatversary! You certainly have come a long way since your first trip out of the marina, full of fear and trepidation. It's fantastic that you're still enjoying the journey, and wish you many more adventures over the coming years. Nb Cheeky Pig 🐖
Hi Elaine from nb Cheeky Pig. Do you remember that fear on our faces on that day we met you outside the marina 🤣 wow, although the year has flown by that chance meeting seems a life time ago. Hope you are both well. 😊
I always seem to have a smile on my face after watching these.... well, to be honest, I usually catch myself smiling while I'm watching them as well (lol) so, thanks for that guys. 🙂 Oh, I wanted to ask, would something like a dash cam mounted on the front of the boat not help to see around blind bends and such? Seems like it would be a good idea but I haven't noticed any of the other channels I watch with one so maybe there's a reason for not putting one up 🤷♂? Thanks guys. Take care.
Hi Roger. Thanks so much for joining us again. I'm glad you enjoy the videos and they make you smile. A dash cam, maybe...never really thought about that, it could work. 😊
I’ve enjoyed cruising with you this last year with your merry quips and outgoing personalities.Thanks for the back deck chat and philosophy and may the journey carry on 😊
We love hearing that you've enjoyed our travels over the past year and thank you so much for joining us and continuing to watch out weekly videos. Here's to more journeys and happy cruising days 😊
The wife and I have really enjoyed following you for the last year , congrats. Our house sale should go through soon and we will be on the cut asap. Could I be cheeky and ask for a video request? How have your boat life finances gone compared to your expectations in your first year. Regards, Mark and Liz
Hi Mark and Liz, best wishes for your house sale and look forward to seeing you out on the cut on day soon. We will see if we can possibly put together a video regarding finances etc 😊
Hi Ray. Happy year living aboard to you too. I did start to do a funny moments video showing best and funniest moments but ran out of time🫣 maybe one day I can get one put together 😊
Thing I must do an ok job at editing then 🤣🤣 Ernie is probably the least chilled dog ever..he grumbles at feathers or leaves floating in the canal, barks at the majority of dogs, jumps up at humans. 🤣🤣 he's doing well though bless him, Im retraining and currently working on calming him a little while out on walks 😉😊
Poems galore, I had to bite my lip. Well done in getting the year in, was it a good decision? We'll be done that way in a few weeks, if we pass you I'm going to ask Ernie what he really thinks. Thanks for the upload and have a nice week ❤
Noooo don't bite your lip, let your poems flow, we love them. The first year has been fabulous and 100percent a good decision. May it long continue. Don't forget we are a few weeks behind in the videos so we aren't here at the moment but if you do see us please make sure you stop and say hello, we would love that. 😊
Hi Ernie, happy anniversary mate I don't know how you managed to cope with those two, especially the funny one wearing two pairs of glasses 👓 😂, ps did they tell you about the pet food shop? 🦴🦴 ❤
Thank you, we think it's flown by. Think it feels longer as we were renovating at the marina for a while before we moved on board. My glasses are Kylie Minogue from specsavers. 😊
Be careful Paul! You will be accused of racism and put in jail for 3 years for those comments!!! 😂😂😂 I know what you mean though. Everyone should leave places how they would like to find them! And leave nothing but footprints is my saying every time we cast off!
Hi there Derek and Julie. We've been adventuring as usual in new places this week, which you'll see in a few weeks time. Hope you got your puncture sorted. 😊

I always seem to have a smile on my face after watching these.... well, to be honest, I usually catch myself smiling while I'm watching them as well (lol) so, thanks for that guys. 🙂 Oh, I wanted to ask, would something like a dash cam mounted on the front of the boat not help to see around blind bends and such? Seems like it would be a good idea but I haven't noticed any of the other channels I watch with one so maybe there's a reason for not putting one up 🤷♂? Thanks guys. Take care.
Hi Roger. Thanks so much for joining us again. I'm glad you enjoy the videos and they make you smile. A dash cam, maybe...never really thought about that, it could work. 😊
I’ve enjoyed cruising with you this last year with your merry quips and outgoing personalities.Thanks for the back deck chat and philosophy and may the journey carry on 😊
We love hearing that you've enjoyed our travels over the past year and thank you so much for joining us and continuing to watch out weekly videos. Here's to more journeys and happy cruising days 😊
The wife and I have really enjoyed following you for the last year , congrats.
Our house sale should go through soon and we will be on the cut asap. Could I be cheeky and ask for a video request? How have your boat life finances gone compared to your expectations in your first year.
Regards,
Mark and Liz
Hi Mark and Liz, best wishes for your house sale and look forward to seeing you out on the cut on day soon. We will see if we can possibly put together a video regarding finances etc 😊
😄👍
Thank you for watching 😀
Well watching you two encouraged me to get my boat! So I’ve now done a year as well!! How about a best bits vlog from your year?
Hi Ray. Happy year living aboard to you too. I did start to do a funny moments video showing best and funniest moments but ran out of time🫣 maybe one day I can get one put together 😊
Congratulations .ernie is so chilled. He’s not bothered about much xx
Thing I must do an ok job at editing then 🤣🤣 Ernie is probably the least chilled dog ever..he grumbles at feathers or leaves floating in the canal, barks at the majority of dogs, jumps up at humans. 🤣🤣 he's doing well though bless him, Im retraining and currently working on calming him a little while out on walks 😉😊
Poems galore, I had to bite my lip.
Well done in getting the year in, was it a good decision?
We'll be done that way in a few weeks, if we pass you I'm going to ask Ernie what he really thinks.
Thanks for the upload and have a nice week ❤
Noooo don't bite your lip, let your poems flow, we love them.
The first year has been fabulous and 100percent a good decision. May it long continue. Don't forget we are a few weeks behind in the videos so we aren't here at the moment but if you do see us please make sure you stop and say hello, we would love that. 😊
This first year has flown by
It has hasn't it. Its gone so quick and we have loved it 😊
Happy Boativersary!
Thank you Susan 😊
Hi Ernie, happy anniversary mate I don't know how you managed to cope with those two, especially the funny one wearing two pairs of glasses 👓 😂, ps did they tell you about the pet food shop? 🦴🦴 ❤
🤣🤣 one pair too hold the hair back and one pair too see Nigel 🤣🤣.
They didn't mention the pet shop, what pet shop!!🤣🐾🐾
Oh and a quick comment of. you need to clean your solar panels. Ha
Ha ha I know, I've done it now 🤣😊
Hello just a note nothing bad, bit of fun, when Paul squints he looks like spocks dad lol, sorry.
🤣
Wow, congrats on 1 year!!! It feels like you’ve been on the cut for much longer!!! And by the way, loving your reading glasses, what brand are they?
Thank you, we think it's flown by. Think it feels longer as we were renovating at the marina for a while before we moved on board. My glasses are Kylie Minogue from specsavers. 😊
@@uponreflection found them! Ordering!! lol, thx! Can’t wait to watch 2nd year!!
Be careful Paul! You will be accused of racism and put in jail for 3 years for those comments!!! 😂😂😂 I know what you mean though. Everyone should leave places how they would like to find them! And leave nothing but footprints is my saying every time we cast off!
🤣 no racism there mate, just factual reporting 🤣😉😊
