Awww thanks Sis xox

[@adrianacounsel5903]

Finally, a narrowboat channel that shows the beautiful scenery. Stunning. Thank you for sharing.

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks so much for your kind comment Adriana! We try to show the things we’ve enjoyed along the way. We originally set out to just share the scenes and events with family across the world, but we chose to share the beauty more widely and we’re really happy that you have enjoyed it so far! Hugs from us all xo

I live in Burscough. Brilliant little quaint village with 2 stations. Full of history and lovely people. 👍🏻

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

We love it! It’s a great place for boaters, too!

[@DJThor1964]

Thank you so much for visiting and documenting my original home. I'm so glad you appreciated both our fantastic farming, wetlands, and canal heritage. For me, personally, it was the skies that are so evocative. I hope you enjoyed your time in Burscough. And I'm now going to binge all the rest of your videos. Oh, and hi to Tilly!

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks Mike - Tilly says “Hi” too! Yes we really did like Burscough and its surroundings. Thanks for watching our channel! 💕

[@glynnisross7974]

What a fantastic episode and I just loved the music (woman singing) in the vintage shop and the music when you visited the birds. I am always amazed at flamingos legs which are so spindly to hold their body weight. Of course Tilly was the star as usual!

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi Glynnis! Thanks for your lovely comment! All the best, Carol,Rob and Tilly xox

[@susanleigh6964]

Hi Carol and Rob, that was an absolutely lovely video, your best yet, could’ve watched it for hours! I have binged through all your vlogs and now subscribed and belled, so wont miss the next one. Love Tilly, big hugs for her💕 Looking forward to seeing more of your travels, your boat is beautiful..take care..Sue in Oz😃

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks so much Sue! We are really thrilled that you’ve enjoyed our vlog so much and we really do appreciate your very kind words - it makes what we do feel worthwhile. Big kiss from Tilly and hugs from the two of us! OXO

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks Jim. Tilly loves all the walks, not so keen on the boat, I don’t think.

[@ianwebb2235]

That was so interesting and relaxing. Thank you.

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks for watching, Ian - we appreciate your comment!

[@suecarpenter1016]

Looks like a fun outing!! I enjoyed this video. Carol, I will have to try your grandmother's Sausage, cabbage and potato meal. Thanks for sharing the recipe ❣❤

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Rob here Sue… I can vouch for its deliciousness! Thanks for your comment and for watching our video xox

[@drfoulcheese]

15:24 What an absolutely beautiful sofa 🤣

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Haha. If you like that kind of thing!

[@colinchellew1807]

Lovely Vlog we've got to give that shop a visit! Looks like a lot of interesting stuff there. Wouldn't mind trying Carol's recipe too 😋

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Cheers Col! See you Sunday mate!

[@ronnielloyd4676]

Clark's looked superb! Such a treasure trove! If only you had a wide beam :) Or a house! :) Martin Mere is fantastic...1701 barn...modern stuff here in the UK :) I know I joke and try and make humorous comments on your vlogs, but your photography/video footage is way, way above the average for narrowboat vloggers. Thank you so much!

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

That’s really kind of you to say so, Ronnie - we’re still trying to improve our video and sound quality xox

[@frankijones74]

Cabbage, spuds and sos is one of the stews i make in winter :)

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

It’s a wonderful winter staple Sara xo

[@christopherlauber13]

enjoying the pace of your videos. many thanks for the calm and the interesting content.

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks for your kind words, Christopher! ❤️

[@suzieq2958]

Fantastic vlog! thank you for taking us to Martin Mere, it was so interesting to see the red crowned crane (had to look it up) 😀the photography is wonderful 💜

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks so much Suzie! 🥰

[@tomrobinson2919]

I just ran across your Vlog channel and what a delight. I spend my predawn Las Vegas desert mornings enjoying various Narrowboat Vlogs, and I appreciate the ambiance and pace of your efforts, thanks so much…

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Welcome aboard, Tom! Thanks for your lovely comment. I hope you’ll enjoy the things we have planned for upcoming videos! All the best, Carol, Rob and Tilly xox

[@edwardhoughton2565]

You both have calming voices nice to listen to. Xx

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi Edward - that’s very kind of you to say so - thank you! 💕

[@anthonywood8390]

A really nice and enjoyable video the best yet from two old UK fogieys Thanks

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Haha. Thank you Anthony! I think! lol

[@borderreiver3288]

you should go to Martin mere in winter when thousands of geese arrive to over winter,,,,,what breed is your dog???

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

We believe Tilly is a coyote crossed with a domestic dog - a coydog - but we can’t be certain. Martin Mere deserves another visit, for sure. We’ll get back there and we love geese! :)

[@oneshoan]

I wish I was there shopping around with y’all! Thank goodness you have sausage, lol. And what breed is your four legged friend? I’m a new viewer. But I’ll go back to your first videos to learn more. Thank you 🙏

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi Shoan and you’re welcome! Tilly is a coydog from Indiana and she’s been ruling the roost (or trying to) since 2010! Hope you’ll enjoy our videos and thanks for subscribing ♥️ Rob, Carol and Tilly 💜 ♥️

[@russchapman2281]

Did you not meet Sue on the boat NAMASTE , she moors right by the bridge at burscough,lovely lady let us moor there when we came home.Say hello if you see her.Average video :))

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi Russ, yes we met her and her husband while we were there. Carol chatted to them more than I did - I was too busy dealing with numerous complaints from other boaters about the shoddy quality of our videos ;) Hehe

@@NarrowboatLiberty the boat is back at our mooring in reading now.we’re in kent to look after my dad for a while as had a pacemaker fitted.loved Liverpool especially the trip in through the docks…how big was that tobacco warehouse 😳😳😳 Hope your well

@@russchapman2281 we are moored next to Olivia and Dan on NB Victoria - lovely couple and what a small world eh Russ and Maggie? Haha

[@Chris.H13]

Really interesting video this week guys, but please stop going into antique shops. I recognise a lot of the stuff from my youth and it's making me feel old! That's a fantastic zoom on the camera! Either that or you actually are sitting 2 inches away from the critters. Rob, I suspect we can expect a lot more eating out reviews now that you've slagged off Carol's cooking! 😂 Speaking of cooking and cabbages, my wife used to make great cabbage rolls. I'm sure Carol will know what they are, being from the States. Stay safe, Chris.

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Haha thanks Chris! Those vintage and antique places really are a nostalgia trip for us, aren’t they? Shocked that Star Wars millennium falcon is now to be found in such an emporium! But it’s getting on for 50 years ago since Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie and uncle Darth stunned a generation with their special effects! Carol has been asking for meals out a lot more since my flippant ‘vice and hacksaw’ comment. Now I’m thinking that’s maybe not a coincidence! Stay safe mate. See you soon hopefully!

[@anthonywood8390]

Sorry we are the two old fogies Best Wishes

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hahaha! Glad you cleared that up - but we’re fogeys too!
