We have been binge watching your channel and love it. We are a campervan family but we have all agreed that we would like to try a narrow boat. My late dad had a cruiser on the Thames and we had many family holidays chugging up to Windsor. Thank you. 😎😍👬

Your blog is now our go-to place countryside and lifestyle viewing delight. Enjoy your stay (and pints and vino) you deserve them. Give the hounds a pet and treats from us - there's an idea, have a buy us a bag of treats button on your site 🙂

Fabulous vlog thank you. We crewed for friends on a hire boat last year and unfortunately, it was quite an old boat and although we were experienced boaters it was only 5 feet longer than we were used to it was not an easy boat to steer. We missed so much of the scenery and very conscious of the fact that our friends were up for'rd and got all the bumps. We had actually visited Llangollen the year before by car and loved it especially Horse Shoe Falls. I would love to cruise it again but on a shorter ore modern boat . We have some fab photos of the trip anyway and as a person like Roz I was amased at myself going over the aqueduct . I even took photos ( but NOT over the very edge 😛) Really great to see it all again thank you

The idea for that came from being moored outside a farm with a rooster! and at 4am I really wished I had the blunderbuss! 😂

@sherlockholmes6990 4 ай бұрын
​@@thenarrowboatgoodlife I just thought it funny that the solution to the rooster noise involved an even louder noise from the blunderbuss. With the blunderbuss, it's a one-and-done, well depending on your aim, whereas the rooster is an on-and-on, so I completely understand.

A great sport at Trevor is watching boats misjudge their speed as they came from Llangollen and shoot out from under the bridge and then attempt to frantically avoid hitting the far bank! All this because of the flow in the canal!

Awwh! I know how awful that feels. Your head swims and your palms sweat. A thought: In my salad days I climbed 90 foot oil tanks. I stood atop road tank wagons without rails. No sweat. Then you were born and after that I could barely look downstairs without feeling dizzy. So who inherited this thing from whom?? Mum XXXX

Superb vlog! Love Llangollen, sone cracking back street pubs. Roz, worry about about the meltdown. I walk mountains and I struggled to walk across the Ponty. Had to just look straight ahead and said nothing to my walking companion. Contrary to years ago when on a family holiday a fearless 13 year old went across on the running board on the drop side - can't believe my mum and dad let me do it. Thanks Colin

@@thenarrowboatgoodlife The Sun up on the A5 is good for real ale and has some quality music on at weekends. Sadly I notice from the interweb that The Ponsonby is closed. Further out The Sun at Trevor is lovely and another Sun Inn at Rhewl (nice walk) is a tiny rural pub. Wonder why there are so many Sun Inns in the area.
