Alan 70 never never never young man, you are amazing. We wished you happy birthday but wish it to you again. Love Reggie too ❤❤❤❤❤

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Thank you for your kind words and further good wishes, I find it hard to believe myself 🤔

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Happy belated birthday Alan, you are young at heart. You and Sally are two peas in a pod, so good together. 💚

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Thank you so much Sheila. There’s no doubt Sally and I are well suited 😁💙

[@KarenG.-qs7wc]

Seriously, you do not look 70. I assumed you were in your 50's. I know you mentioned it last time but I thought you were joking. Happy 70th.🎉🎈🎁🎊🎂🍾

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Thank you Karen, very kind but a bit too generous with the lower age. Me joke😂. Thanks for your good wishes 🎊🎈

[@majordolbyscat]

Wishing you a very happy, if somewhat belated, birthday Alan. What an inspiration, I hope I am as fit and active as you at 70 years young. All the best

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Thank you Chris for your good wishes and kind remark. All the best, take care on your travels.

[@hollysmothers3902]

I can see you had a Happy 70th Birthday. Congratulations, you young whippersnapper! I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Ollie at your party, but, sadly, I didn't see him. Best wished to you and Sally.

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

I certainly did thank you. Unfortunately, Oli wasn’t able to join us, a great shame. Sally and I hope you’re keeping well, take care.

[@StevesRepairs]

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Thank you so much Stephen, not everyone seemed to be aware of it. I did make mention of my 70th in the vlog about Sally’s birthday. I hope you’re keeping well and able to get out and about. Sally and I get on really well together and have a few events on the go including the Crick Boat Show next weekend. Best wishes from Sally and myself.

[@terrycrane9459]

70? No way! Maybe adventures in narrowboating keeps you young

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Even I find it hard to believe. Had to get a new driving licence at 70.

[@paulburns-williamson3520]

Happy Birthday Alan. Keep up the good work.

Hi Alan GG says woof. Love the variety of adventures. Happy Birthday.

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Thank you so much Kat, Reggie says woof woof back.

[@davey.f.demarco3858]

Hope you had a fantastic Birthday, Alan. I instantly recognised the sculpture from Foxton Locks. It’s one of mine and my wife’s favourite place. Next time I’m on the towpath at North Kilworth or at Foxton I’ll keep an eye out for you and say hello. All the best. Davey

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Hi Davey, I often a show a close up picture of the horse sculpture in my videos, but not in this coming Friday's vlog when I arrive at Foxton Locks, though it is seen. Thanks for your comment, our paths may well cross one day, cheers.

[@johanea]

Just proves active life style keeps people young, strong, and fit. You don't even look 70 to be honest. Well done!

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

That’s very kind of you to say, I’m not so physically active but I’m always on the go doing something.

[@shawnsalazar5416]

Happy Birth Day to you Alan ! You both look younger than age , is it genetics , narrow boat life , or all of the above, what ever it is keep on doing it take care both of you.

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Thank you so much. It can’t be Narrowboat life, as that is a recent activity. Looking at Sally and her father, it could be genetics, as he looks much younger than his years. My Dad reached 98!

[@shawnsalazar5416]

@@MyNarrowboatVenture Ok then, genetics it is!

[@martinworrall5888]

Happy birthday Alan ❤

Many thanks. Very kind of you to say Brian, cheers.

[@IJ_uk]

Hope you had a happy birthday. If I was going to make you a cake it'll be one that looks like 3 cheese topped rolls with a candle on each roll 😂🎉🕯️ Bye for now...... 👋👋

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Ha ha! Thank you, I had a lovely time with my family. All the best, take care 🎉🎂🎈

Thank you Vanessa 🎉🎈

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid on channel alan thanks lee

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Thank you Lee, much appreciated.

[@roamingt6689]

Hi Alan, belated birthday wishes! do you think you will change your boat for a different layout or just stay with your present boat? Hope to see you at Crick. All the best

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Hi, I’ve got no plans to change my boat, I’m happy with the layout, a few extra feet on the saloon would be a bonus. Sally and I will be at Crick, see you there. Cheers

[@edwardhoughton2565]

Xx

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Thank you 👍

[@gerard227]

Happy birthday!!! With two people on board do you find 45 feet is sufficient or do think that a 57 foot boat would be better. (I've probably answered my own question)

[@MyNarrowboatVenture]

Thank you Gerard. It’s not so much the length but how it’s arranged. I have seen some 57 footers, which would give little more useful space than I have now. It would be nice though to have a longer saloon and galley.
