Hello NB Alchemy! I feel so relieved to know that Alice Grace is your neighbour and that you are keeping and eye on her- thank you so much! Merry Christmas and happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
Love the boating community. Looking after each other. . Next year we’re going into a basin so we are within a community and having neighbours who will keep an eye on ours as we’re not live aboards. Merry Christmas 🎄
Three weeks without you and Zephyr! Fridays will not be the same:) Loved the atmospheric stories from Abraham's Valley. Couldn't agree more that animal companions (aren't we animals too?) bring so much love, joy and freshness into our lives and the loss is deeply felt. The poem at the end was a treat, as were the Coal Tit and king Fisher. I wish you, Mr Mindful and Zephyr a lovely holiday on land and much joy for the start of 2024. Take care Vanessa! W xxx
Hi Wendy, I will only take one week off from vlogging though as I have a special New Years vlog planned and then I'll be back cruising again. Thank you so much for all your support this year and for watching each week. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Love the poem at the end. If I was still teaching catch-up for private students struggling with grades in their English exam, lifting exam performance from a predicted D to F up to B or even A, I would be wanting to use this poem as an example of how to use words and sounds within words and teaching the technicalities of a good poem based on this poem. Have a wonderful time with your friends and family. I see Alice Grace has a friendly neighbour in Alchemy so she won't be lonely.
So true what you say about pets.We used to sing Roy Rogers 'Four legged friend' to mother in laws dog.She always showed her appreciation by wagging her tail (the dog not mother in law)😊Hope you all have a lovely Christmas 🎄🎁
People on the canals and rivers are, on the whole, the friendliest people, there’s a “we are all in this together “ mentally among the boating community which is quite unique and very special. I’m glad you made it to Gt Haywood, and I wish you, Zephyr and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and healthy 2024 and beyond. Take care, lots of love. xxxxx
That was so much fun, Vanessa; watching all of 2023 episodes in conjunction with the Nature Journal of a Narrowboater. I have loved cruising with you, Zephyr and the elusive Mr M. I only have 5 months worth of episodes to get up to date with your current cruises and then it will be sad because I shall have to wait a whole week for my nature and mindfulness fixes! I am proud to be one of your patrons and I hope we are all enabling you to carry on with your valuable work!
So happy the sunshine for Alice Grace on her last journey of 2023. Have a blessed Christmas and thank you for all the wonderful sights you share with us xxx
I was so happy when the sun came out for our final cruise; it really lifted my spirits.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Lovely video, close to my home! My dad used to own a narrow boat, so the waters round where you filmed this episode are very familiar to me. I’m glad to say the sightings of Kingfishers are a regular spot for most of the year, what a privilege it is to see them. I’ve been living next to “The Chase” for most of my life & as a keen walker & biker up there I’ve never seen Big Foot, The black eyed girl or a werewolf. These are all well documented phenomenon locally. As a mountain biker I ride through the winter months at night up there and these stories are never far from my mind, in fact I think they make me ride faster! Years ago myself and a friend had an encounter with something which we weren’t sure of in Abraham’s Valley. Our conclusion after some investigation, was it was possibly the noise of a big cat. Sadly apart from running deer coming from where we heard the mysterious noise, there was no sighting of anything feline. I still believe there are creatures about up in the forest we don’t know about even if they are just passing through… Anyway please keep doing what you do. I love the canal network especially close to home. Cheers John b😎
So glad you didn't get frozen in this year! Please enjoy time away with family and friends, and thanks so much for all the lovely videos. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
It was a relief when the ice melted quickly a couple of weeks ago. Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Debba. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Another lovely vlog, you are so right about our animal companions (I don't like the word "pet" either.) They are family, sometimes more than the humans 😄and their lives are too short compared to ours. Zephyr is so lovely and lucky to have you with her. Have a fantastic Christmas and New Year, look forward to watching your travels, your drawings and your poems next year 💖xx
You quench my heart with all your Art.. Thankyou. Such balm to my heart, mind & spirit are your videos , observations, poems & drawings. Kingfishers are so fleeting in their presence, always a flash of gold-'orange & iridescent turquoise, usually heralded by their lovely piercing cry. I love those birds & all birds. Beautiful drawing & poem as always. I wish you Seph & your family a wonderful 2024 , with great health, peace & many blessings & I really look forward to you being back cruising on Alice Grace, bringing the blessings you bring to us all. You are such a ray of sunshine. Have a great & happy landlubbing holiday, ( i just made up a word!) , ..Paul
What an uplifting experience your videos are. Thanks for the beautiful drawings, beautiful poetry, beautiful views along the canals and your beautiful, sunny personality. Merry Christmas and happy New Year.
I am so pleased that you find the vlogs uplifting. That is so kind of you.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
A delightful last cruise of 2023 with picturesque scenery along the way. Beautiful blue Kingfishers too (ours are grey in Washington State). Interesting about how Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned at Tixall Hall Gatehouse. The Coal Tit looks similar to a Chickadee. Exquisite illustration of the Kingfisher and Coal Tit! Merry Christmas to you and Zephyr and World Peace in 2024. 🎄☃🌍☮
Have a lovely Christmas and New Year Vanessa and Zephyr. Stay safe and well where-ever you cruise to on the system next year. Love from Blaze and me xxx
Late to this as usual. Hoping even though you miss your Alice and her travels that you have or had a wonderful Christmas time and follow that with a traveling New Year. Keep the video's coming pretty Lady.
Thanks Vanessa for your Nature Journal which arrived on our doorstep last week in Ontario. I now resides on the table inside our favorite viewing area overlooking our front lawn....fond memories of our recent family visits to Nottingham....
What a beautiful video to round off 2023. Season's Greetings to you and yours, to Zephyr and to Alice Grace. Have a great one Mrs M! Looking forward to your wonderful travel vlogs in 2024. Best wishes.
New subscriber and enjoying every minute of every video.My dream to visit Britain, the land of my ancestors,comes true with your wonderful photography,music and narrative.You are a gift I am so happy to have found.Merry Christmas to you and your family and Alice Grace.Love from Canada.Be Well
Nice to see my back garden on your vlog... You were in Brocton Coppice, which is an ancient woodland. I live full-time in my van and often park over the Chase. If you were close to the Shooting Grounds then you probably saw the Stepping Stones, which were originally from the gatehouse at Stafford Gaol... Happy Christmas..
It must be amazing to park in the Chase, but after reading the supernatural stories about it, I think it would also be a bit nerve-wracking too. I'm glad that you got to see your back garden in the vlog.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
Hello Mr Will! I think you do an amazing job of covering the whole network in your boat and filming single-handedly. Hopefully, we'll see you again one day.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Oh my goodness! I just stumbled on to your beautiful channel! What a peaceful and gorgeous and uplifting experience you give! I look forward to catching up on the previous ones, and to seeing the future ones. Thank you!
Hello Vanessa - Christmas Greetings from a very wet and cold Poland. A beautiful video bringing the cruising adventures to an end for 2023.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey this year. You will never know how much watching your videos has helped me. Fairly cheered my heart. Happy Christmas 🎄. Look forward to seeing your new adventure after the holidays. God bless you. ❤ Elizabeth
Elizabeth that is so kind of you. It is a pleasure to make videos to share with viewers like yourself. Thank you for your lovely comment. Happy New Year!🥳🌻🦋
Happy Christmas, stay safe Alice Grace, dear zephyr loved companion, have a lovely time with your loved ones. I have three labs they are my friends we have lovely adventures come shine or storm.just yesterday a warm stop after a wet and windy day walking along the river soar in our favourite pub getting the warmth of the fire.thanks again fantastic filming and spectacular countryside. Good night all.
How wonderful to have 3 beautiful labs. I loved the sound of your wild walk along the river and then the pub by the fire- perfect combo.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Thank you for the Bird life / landscapes and stories of Life as you live it and Moments in history as you make travels into your future.... note... Bearix potter has been a Heroine of mine since the early 60's and still is.... so I love seeing your drawings and listen to your poetry... Hop/ Vermont USA happy holiday...
I love Beatrix Potter too. When I was in Gloucester, in one of my summer vlogs, I stumbled upon the shop that she based the Tailor of Gloucester on and it was such a gem of a place to visit.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Happy New Year! 🥳🌻🦋
So lovely ,all the beautiful scenery and birds, thank you for sharing , can’t wait to see what 2024 brings, Hope you had a merry Christmas and all the very best wishes for New Year. ❤️
Thank you for the most wonderful vlogs! Watching you through the year, I am full of admiration. I get quite emotional because your editing, music and content is so beautiful. And thank you for your journal, which I really enjoyed reading (more than once). Looking forward to next year, and wishing you and your family, and the lovely Zephyr, a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year ! ❤️🍷🍾 xx
That is such a wonderful and kind comment, Jean. I am so pleased that you enjoy the vlogs. Thank you so much for buying my book too.Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
I always enjoy seeing your vlogs and the wonderful poem and drawing at the end of the vlog, have a wonderful Christmas God bless you and zephyr too. xx
Hi Vanessa. Nice to see a kingfisher. They are such quick birds. Hope you and your family are having a lovely Christmas and wishing you a Happy New Year 🎄🥳Take care. Nick 😊
That is so kind of you, Nigel.Thank you for your lovely comment and for all of your support this year. Merry Christmas and happy new year! Take care🌻🦋🎄
Beautiful footage and well done on capturing those flashing gems, the kingfishers. I cannot believe that Tixall House was demolished in 1927. Aaaargh! With a gatehouse and stables that grand, imagine what the house was like. The shortsightedness is astounding. Merry Christmas and safe travels to you and your pup.
Isn't it a shame that the house was demolished? It would have looked so beautiful from the water.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
I just found your lovely channel. It's such a nice thing to see what you've been doing, hear your thoughts and see your really special drawings. Have a good Christmas, we'll be ready for more when you come back
What an end to Alice Grace 2023 with the jewel colours of the Kingfisher & fabulous scenery I love lichen & you gave me a wonderful treat of lichen as far as the eye could see on magical trees on Cannock Chase Merry Christmas Healthy New year to you Vanessa Mr M & Zephyr looking forward to 2024 with you all & the printing of 2023 journal it’s on my wish list 💕🎄
Lichen is one of my favourite things too! Especially, Pixie Cup Lichen!!!Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Have a wonderful Christmas.You are nearly up to 20k subscribers my how they have mounted up in the last few weeks,but very well deserved.This vlog shows exactly what people have been missing.On a totally different tack, can you not run your dishwasher while you are under way with the inverter as I have met several people who do this and they say it uses less water than washing up! It is almost dthe ultimate on a narrowboat but the real top of my list of wished for gadgets would be a maroon range.Enjoy next year's cruising; are you going to Llangollen on the way north?
Hi Chris, we've tried the dishwasher on the inverter and it won't work, but when I'm not in a marina, it makes a great storage cupboard! 😂 Thank you so much for your kind words about the channel.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
I'm no electrician but it sounds like the wiring is wrong unless your inverter is not powerful enough.Get a friendly boater to have a look at it without spending vast sums on an electrician.
Have a lovely Christmas and a happy new year looking forward to more beautiful cruising, make sure our favorite lab gets a rather large bone for Christmas 🎉😊
Zephyr will get thoroughly spoilt at Christmas and I'll get that big bone that you suggested.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
Thank you so much for your wonderful vlogs. I’m looking forward to your trips up North. You MUST spend a month at least on the Lancaster canal. I bit of a faff getting there but so well worth the trip. You’ve brought back so many memories of my 15 years continuous cruising I can’t wait for next years cruises. Happy Xmas and a great New Year to you both.
I am so pleased that the vlogs have brought back those memories for you. I can't wait to get to the Lancaster and I will spend a long time there as I love to really explore a canal when get on it.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
Hi Vanessa, so glad you made it to Cannock Chase hope you enjoyed it, despite the gun shots 😂 thankyou for all the wonderful vlogs this year its been lovely to join in on all your narrowboat adventures and incredible insights into the beautiful nature around.. God bless and have a very happy Christmas❤
Lovely vlog as usual, The Gatehouse at Tixall reminded me of a grander version of The Cage at Lyme Park which I think you can see from the Macclesfield canal, Biscuit challenge came up too quickly so a draw was declared, Hope you all have a wonderfull Christmas and a brilliant New year. 😊
I'll have to look out for The Cage when I get there. It was two, little mince pies this week with tea.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Another lovely video Vanessa and what a lovely last voyage of 2023. You're so right about dogs, my last Boxer passed away 18 months ago and I'm still devastated. I definitely saw a UFO many years ago whilst night fishing as I was watching satellites. Have a lovely Xmas and I look forward to seeing your 2024 exploits
I am so sad to hear about your Boxer passing away. I hope you are ok?💚🐾🐾Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
I've only just come across your videos and they are beautiful. Beautifully filmed. All my passions included . Birds, wildness, water, and Art, and boats. I'm in Australia. One question, do you have to have any kind of licence to run a Narrow boat. What a beautiful way of life. And I'm aware it would involve work as well as pleasure. Everything does. 💙
That is such a kind comment- thank you so much 😊 I do have a boat licence which is for continuously cruising the network and it cost 1400 this year. Have a super week. Take care🦋🌻
I repeat what someone else said. A TV company should sign you up. The camera likes you, you're full of information and interesting facts, and as an artist and a poet, I doubt there are many with your skillset.
Hi, Just found you on UA-cam and am really enjoying your energy, your sense of humour and your love of nature, not forgetting your wonderful art. I'm looking forward to accompanying you on your journeys (that sounds wrong, but I'm sure you know what I mean 😀) wishing you a wonderful New Year and safe travels.
This is incredible, your Coal Tits are very similar to our Black-Capped Chickadees in British Columbia. They also hide their food, and are named for their call; “chickadee-dee-dee-dee!”
good vid on cut cranking it keep up the good vid cranking iton cut thanks merry chrismas to you an have happy new year see you 200 24 with new vid thanks lee
Thank you for a very pleasant 2023 and wish you every success for 2024. Get yourself an agent and publish your books/diaries and if handled correctly you could easily become the Michael Portillo of the waterways, and it would then cost us, in one way or another, to listen to you.
Narrow boats look freezing tiny little fires that heat a wardrobe! I used to live in a van when I was 25 it was freezing the windscreen used to freeze up on the inside! Really a few trees n birds. Is it worth it? 😮
In certain times during the winter we may dip below zero, and in Scotland it gets much colder, but nothing like the temps in some countries. Thank you for watching. Have a super week, take care🦋🌻
Happy Christmas Vanessa…….it has been a great year getting to know you and following your adventurous travels. I am pretty sure very few boaters know as much about the birds, animals and plants as you do. You are a diamond canal traveller.
Thank you for your smiling presence throughout 2023 Vanessa. Wishing you, Mr M, Zephyr and your family a wonderfully Happy Christmas; may it be filled with love and laughter. Already looking forward to seeing you again in 2024. Take care and enjoy your break. ❤
What a marvellous vlog this week plenty of wildlife and a cruise full of sunshine, and the comforts of on board luxuries even if it was for ur washing. I wish u and ur family a wonderful Christmas and Zephyr too. 🎉🎄🎅🍾🤶🎁🍰🎂🐭🐕
You made me feel quite emotional with this video, especially the Christmassy music & beautiful wildlife footage. Hubby & I have covid for the first & hopefully last time & I've been feeling very blue about everything but your upbeat happy vlog cheered me up & warmed the cockles of my heart. Hope you have a lovely Christmas - including furry members of the family as 'pet' is not the right word at all - & a very Happy New Year to you all too. Xx❤🏴
Oh no, Annie! I hope you both are feeling much better now. Get well soon xxxxThank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Just found your channel and will now be binge watching all of your past videos. Love the nature and wildlife that you include in your videos and the history you provide of the places you are passing. And your journal and art work, as well as your poetry, is great. I may be from the USA but my fathers side of the family came from England so I feel right at home when I watch videos that include the UK. Hope you had a great holiday.
Thank you for such a lovely video. The light on your final cruise of the year was exceptional. Merry Christmas to you and your family. See you in 2024. Looking forward to your “northern” adventures. 👏👏👍🎅
@@themindfulnarrowboat no need to apologize it was a beautiful video. I always get sentimental because he is 12 and his face is getting white. He is a border collie with blue eyes and he is my everything. Safe travels.🌻🙏🌻
Alice Grace is fine. We're on the boat next door (Alchemy}, and we'll be here right through Christmas and New Year to keep her company🥲
Hello NB Alchemy! I feel so relieved to know that Alice Grace is your neighbour and that you are keeping and eye on her- thank you so much! Merry Christmas and happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
Love the boating community. Looking after each other. . Next year we’re going into a basin so we are within a community and having neighbours who will keep an eye on ours as we’re not live aboards. Merry Christmas 🎄
You're very welcome. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
That must be a relief for you. It is a long time to leave her and lots of cash too.
is it a good marina to live at ? we are looking for somewhere for the end of next year.
Thank you all for your beautiful Videos and have a happy Christmas 🎄 XXX

It must be amazing to park in the Chase, but after reading the supernatural stories about it, I think it would also be a bit nerve-wracking too. I'm glad that you got to see your back garden in the vlog.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
I really love the peacefulness of your vlogs. What a cool way to live. Thanks for sharing! :)
I am so pleased that you find the vlogs relaxing. Have a super rest of the week, take care🌻🦋

Thank you for the most wonderful vlogs! Watching you through the year, I am full of admiration. I get quite emotional because your editing, music and content is so beautiful. And thank you for your journal, which I really enjoyed reading (more than once).
Looking forward to next year, and wishing you and your family, and the lovely Zephyr, a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year ! ❤️🍷🍾 xx

Christmas was lovely thank you; I hope yours was too? Thank you for your comment, Nick- happy New Year! Take care🥳🦋🌻
What a cracking video young lady. Have a fabulous Christmas and New Year. Looking forward to the next part of the adventure.
That is so kind of you, Nigel.Thank you for your lovely comment and for all of your support this year. Merry Christmas and happy new year! Take care🌻🦋🎄
Loved the birds and your sketch was brilliant. Have a great Christmas.
That is so kind of you.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Beautiful footage and well done on capturing those flashing gems, the kingfishers. I cannot believe that Tixall House was demolished in 1927. Aaaargh! With a gatehouse and stables that grand, imagine what the house was like. The shortsightedness is astounding. Merry Christmas and safe travels to you and your pup.
Isn't it a shame that the house was demolished? It would have looked so beautiful from the water.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
I just found your lovely channel. It's such a nice thing to see what you've been doing, hear your thoughts and see your really special drawings.
Have a good Christmas, we'll be ready for more when you come back
I am so pleased that you found me- thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
What an end to Alice Grace 2023 with the jewel colours of the Kingfisher & fabulous scenery
I love lichen & you gave me a wonderful treat of lichen as far as the eye could see on magical trees on Cannock Chase
Merry Christmas Healthy New year to you Vanessa Mr M & Zephyr looking forward to 2024 with you all & the printing of 2023 journal it’s on my wish list 💕🎄
Lichen is one of my favourite things too! Especially, Pixie Cup Lichen!!!Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄

I love doing narrow boating. I wish i will be able to buy one.
I hope you get your wish one day soon.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Happy New Year! 🥳🌻🦋
Great vlog as usual,loved everyone of them this year,long may you carry on,Wishing you a wonderful Christmas, Love & Peace🌼🌼🌼
Thank you so much for watching the vlogs this year and for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
Have a wonderful Christmas.You are nearly up to 20k subscribers my how they have mounted up in the last few weeks,but very well deserved.This vlog shows exactly what people have been missing.On a totally different tack, can you not run your dishwasher while you are under way with the inverter as I have met several people who do this and they say it uses less water than washing up! It is almost dthe ultimate on a narrowboat but the real top of my list of wished for gadgets would be a maroon range.Enjoy next year's cruising; are you going to Llangollen on the way north?
Hi Chris, we've tried the dishwasher on the inverter and it won't work, but when I'm not in a marina, it makes a great storage cupboard! 😂 Thank you so much for your kind words about the channel.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
I'm no electrician but it sounds like the wiring is wrong unless your inverter is not powerful enough.Get a friendly boater to have a look at it without spending vast sums on an electrician.
wishing you ,Mr m a very merry Christmas and a wonderfull new year and Zephyr thank you for the heart warming videos
That is so kind of you.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
Have a lovely Christmas and a happy new year looking forward to more beautiful cruising, make sure our favorite lab gets a rather large bone for Christmas 🎉😊
Zephyr will get thoroughly spoilt at Christmas and I'll get that big bone that you suggested.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
Merry Christmas x
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
Thank you so much for your wonderful vlogs. I’m looking forward to your trips up North. You MUST spend a month at least on the Lancaster canal. I bit of a faff getting there but so well worth the trip. You’ve brought back so many memories of my 15 years continuous cruising I can’t wait for next years cruises. Happy Xmas and a great New Year to you both.
I am so pleased that the vlogs have brought back those memories for you. I can't wait to get to the Lancaster and I will spend a long time there as I love to really explore a canal when get on it.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
That was beautiful, merry Christmas xx
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Hi Vanessa, so glad you made it to Cannock Chase hope you enjoyed it, despite the gun shots 😂 thankyou for all the wonderful vlogs this year its been lovely to join in on all your narrowboat adventures and incredible insights into the beautiful nature around.. God bless and have a very happy Christmas❤
Cannock Chase was so beautiful and I loved it there.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
Lovely vlog as usual, The Gatehouse at Tixall reminded me of a grander version of The Cage at Lyme Park which I think you can see from the Macclesfield canal, Biscuit challenge came up too quickly so a draw was declared, Hope you all have a wonderfull Christmas and a brilliant New year. 😊
I'll have to look out for The Cage when I get there. It was two, little mince pies this week with tea.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Another lovely video Vanessa and what a lovely last voyage of 2023. You're so right about dogs, my last Boxer passed away 18 months ago and I'm still devastated. I definitely saw a UFO many years ago whilst night fishing as I was watching satellites. Have a lovely Xmas and I look forward to seeing your 2024 exploits
I am so sad to hear about your Boxer passing away. I hope you are ok?💚🐾🐾Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
I've only just come across your videos and they are beautiful. Beautifully filmed. All my passions included . Birds, wildness, water, and Art, and boats. I'm in Australia. One question, do you have to have any kind of licence to run a Narrow boat. What a beautiful way of life. And I'm aware it would involve work as well as pleasure. Everything does. 💙
That is such a kind comment- thank you so much 😊 I do have a boat licence which is for continuously cruising the network and it cost 1400 this year. Have a super week. Take care🦋🌻
Hope you have a great Christmas with your family. ❤🎉🤩 and we wish you all a happy new year .
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Sheila. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
I repeat what someone else said.
A TV company should sign you up. The camera likes you, you're full of information and interesting facts, and as an artist and a poet, I doubt there are many with your skillset.
Well, I don't quite know what to say; that is so kind of you- thank you so much. Have a super rest of the week. Take care🦋🌻
Hi, Just found you on UA-cam and am really enjoying your energy, your sense of humour and your love of nature, not forgetting your wonderful art. I'm looking forward to accompanying you on your journeys (that sounds wrong, but I'm sure you know what I mean 😀) wishing you a wonderful New Year and safe travels.
That is so kind of you; it's great to know that you are enjoying the vlogs.Thank you for your lovely comment. Happy New Year! 🥳🦋🌻
We call that bird a black capped Chickadee. They are very Tame in 🇨🇦
I love that name for the Coal Tit.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Fabulous ❤
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Happy New Year! 🥳🌻🦋
Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Happy Christmas love your videos
Thank you so much 😊 Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
This is incredible, your Coal Tits are very similar to our Black-Capped Chickadees in British Columbia. They also hide their food, and are named for their call; “chickadee-dee-dee-dee!”
They do look similar don't they? I love learning about the flora and fauna overseas. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care🌻🦋
0:54 ...💐💐💐😁

Thank you so much, Lee! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you too! Take care🌻🦋
Thank you for a very pleasant 2023 and wish you every success for 2024. Get yourself an agent and publish your books/diaries and if handled correctly you could easily become the Michael Portillo of the waterways, and it would then cost us, in one way or another, to listen to you.
That is such a kind comment- thank you so much! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Narrow boats look freezing tiny little fires that heat a wardrobe! I used to live in a van when I was 25 it was freezing the windscreen used to freeze up on the inside! Really a few trees n birds. Is it worth it? 😮
It is so worth it- believe me! Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
Hi Vanessa can you tell me where i can buy your book .
Goodbye Narrow Brick Road😂😂😂😂. Sorry!!!!!😂😂😂😂
😂 Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Take care🦋🌻🎄
Do you normally get below zero temps in the U.K?
In certain times during the winter we may dip below zero, and in Scotland it gets much colder, but nothing like the temps in some countries. Thank you for watching. Have a super week, take care🦋🌻
Hope you all have a lovely Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Smashing channel, I second @FAWLTYFANATIC words -
I am so pleased that you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Happy New Year! 🥳🌻🦋
Happy Christmas Vanessa…….it has been a great year getting to know you and following your adventurous travels. I am pretty sure very few boaters know as much about the birds, animals and plants as you do. You are a diamond canal traveller.
That is so kind of you.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
Thank you for your smiling presence throughout 2023 Vanessa. Wishing you, Mr M, Zephyr and your family a wonderfully Happy Christmas; may it be filled with love and laughter. Already looking forward to seeing you again in 2024. Take care and enjoy your break. ❤
Jill, that is so kind of you.Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year too! Take care🦋🌻🎄
Merry Christmas Vanessa and zephyr have a great day and new year all the best from Chris Take care x ❤
What a marvellous vlog this week plenty of wildlife and a cruise full of sunshine, and the comforts of on board luxuries even if it was for ur washing. I wish u and ur family a wonderful Christmas and Zephyr too. 🎉🎄🎅🍾🤶🎁🍰🎂🐭🐕
Hi Simon, that is so kind of you. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
You made me feel quite emotional with this video, especially the Christmassy music & beautiful wildlife footage. Hubby & I have covid for the first & hopefully last time & I've been feeling very blue about everything but your upbeat happy vlog cheered me up & warmed the cockles of my heart.
Hope you have a lovely Christmas - including furry members of the family as 'pet' is not the right word at all - & a very Happy New Year to you all too.
Xx❤🏴
Oh no, Annie! I hope you both are feeling much better now. Get well soon xxxxThank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
@@themindfulnarrowboat Thank you Vanessa, look forward to seeing your return to UA-cam in a few weeks.
Xx ❤️
all these videeos aree so lovely ,one can dream in the countryside ,Im a retired dairy farmer , now 88 years old . JAYARAICH .
Thank you so much for watching. Take care 🌻🦋
Just found your channel and will now be binge watching all of your past videos. Love the nature and wildlife that you include in your videos and the history you provide of the places you are passing. And your journal and art work, as well as your poetry, is great. I may be from the USA but my fathers side of the family came from England so I feel right at home when I watch videos that include the UK. Hope you had a great holiday.
Hi Lisa, I am so pleased that you are enjoying the vlogs and feeling at home in this countryside. Have a super week, take care🌻🦋
Thank you for such a lovely video. The light on your final cruise of the year was exceptional. Merry Christmas to you and your family. See you in 2024. Looking forward to your “northern” adventures. 👏👏👍🎅
It was such a wonderful light wasn't it? Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋
😭😭😭 My dog is my everything and that made me cry. You are so right, they are more than animals they are family.❤❤❤❤
They are very, very special companions aren't they? Sorry to have made you cry though. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🌻🦋
@@themindfulnarrowboat no need to apologize it was a beautiful video. I always get sentimental because he is 12 and his face is getting white. He is a border collie with blue eyes and he is my everything. Safe travels.🌻🙏🌻
Thank you for taking me on your cruises through 2023, have a great time with family. See you in 2024. =-)
Thank you so much for joining me each week, Lorraine. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care🌻🦋🎄
