[@jennyfulcher8035]

All of those goodies at Nana's Cafe is enough to make me buy a plane ticket and fly across the pond to England to partake in their menu selections. Yummers! Jenny USA 🥣🧁🍪🫖☕

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Haha. Thanks Jenny xo 😘

[@1beakin]

Me too

[@davidtildsley8409]

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks Dave and Rachel! Hope you’re enjoying winter aboard Holly! 🥰

[@suzieq2958]

Thank you Carol and Rob for yet another glorious foret through our beautiful countryside 😊 Nice of you to highlight little businesses along the way and I just love your jovial banter💜

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Carol records the banter for possible future divorce proceedings, SuzieQ! 😛 Thanks for your kind comment!

Fab vlog - loved Nana's Cafe and The Brew Barge, yummy looking food there. Scenery is beautiful, and a big well done to Carol on her first lock. Lovely to have full log and Tilly seems so happy too.

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hiya Liz - been working away, so only just saw your comment. Thanks for the kind words! 🥰

[@Chris.H13]

Hi Guys, great to catch up with you on Friday and experience Nana's for myself. Thanks for the shout-out too. Great work negotiating the locks Carol. How tempted were you to leave Rob running behind? 😂

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

No comment. Haha 😝

[@jb-zr4ez]

That was a great video, really interesting as usual. What a beautiful part of the world that is. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks so much,JB 💕

[@LanetteBarnard]

Only discovered you guys now. What can i say ...... keep on doing what you doing. Safe travels. GOD Bless

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks Lanette - happy you’ve found us! God bless 🥰

[@YanniD]

So glad I spotted this video via Nanas in Skipton, I now know a bit more about the lovely American lady I met when walking our dogs on the towpath in Skipton. We are lucky to live in Skipton.

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi John, Skipton is a great town! Thanks for your comments!

[@WendyP-jc3th]

Another great video my friends! Hugs to you and Charlie sends Tilly his love😻

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks so much - hugs to you and Charlie! 💕

[@lacyoflittlerobincottage1403]

Carol, you missed your chance. Had you sped away, Rob would never have been able to catch up. That would teach him we Americans don't take any crap! 😆🤣 Love seeing Tilly enjoying herself. She does love a nice grassy area. Not so sure about a communal water bowl. Makes be a little worried about Giardia.🐛 Nice little floating cafe ~ business must be slow as she was putting on the hard sell. Hope you three are well ~ take care ~ 🤗💞🐾 Lacy, Mike & Hamish

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hey Lacy, Mike and Hamish! Rob here - thankfully ‘speeding away’ and ‘Narrowboat’ are mutually exclusive concepts! 😂 Lisa on the Brew Barge is just naturally enthusiastic!! Both Jacqui and Lisa are good sports, gifted cooks, hard workers, fun hosts and thoroughly deserve to do well! Since we stopped taking Tilly 🐕 through locks she’s been much happier, for sure 😘 💕 ❤️

[@Steve9357]

Tilly is such a good Girl. I was amazed at your look into Nana's place. I'd visit too after that Review! I also loved your take on the Brew Barge! Great Vlog as always! Be Safe and till next !

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks Steve - Tilly really is a treasure and we are so lucky she chose us as her family! Nana’s is a fab cafe - the best in Skipton by a country mile! Have a great day! 💕 🐕

[@quavernote4307]

Carol handles your boat like a pro !! 😊

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Better than me, that’s for sure! 👌 I’ve become the lock labourer these days! 😛

[@nathanberry4339]

Some beautiful countryside scenery going on in that vlog , that Victoria sponge looked amazing and last week I nearly bought a narrowboat called liberty but decided to buy a boat called serenity so going through the purchasing process now which means you won't have to change the name of your boat 😂😂😂 and one of my dogs is a Romanian rescue they are soooo loyal and extremely loving and affectionate

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

That’s great that you’re buying a narrowboat, Nathan! Hopefully we’ll cross paths before too long - we’ll keep an eye open for Serenity. Which canal will you start from?

[@nathanberry4339]

@@NarrowboatLiberty all goes well ill be starting on he Kennet and Avon around summertime she's a former hire boat with 4 huge conservatory style windows at the bow

[@quavernote4307]

Wow Rob that couples cafe boat is amazing if I can get my boat up there I think I would follow them everywhere what a bacon roll !! I with they also had a shopping boat on the canals brilliant for boaters 😄👍

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Haha I love the idea of a shopping boat! We’ve done vlogs about other traders - The Hippie Boat, The Art Boat and The Wool Boat. We love doing those kind of mini reviews - helps everyone, I reckon. That was the best bacon brioche ever, though my own preference at home is greasy hot bacon 🥓 between dry white sliced bread! 🍞

[@paulturner7837]

Wonderful vlog guys. You do find some excellent eateries 😊 and the scenery on your cruise was gorgeous. Love the banter you have between you. It was great to watch and listen to from start to finish, thanks so much 👍

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hey Paul! That’s so kind of you to say - thanks from the three of us! 🥰

[@ianwebb2235]

What a lovely video! The scenery was incredible and the cafes were so interesting for us! Thank you.

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi Ian - Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pathickman9271]

Brilliant vlog guy's. Sorry im only just watching but I'll explain when we speak. God bless thanks for Archie's birthday mention ❤ xx

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi Pat, Steve and Archie - wishing you all a wonderful Christmas 😘

[@1beakin]

Looks like ya all enjoyed the treats and tea. Love how they serve tea in a teapot and matching cup and saucer.

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Oh yea - proper bone china, Bette! 🥰

[@suecarpenter1016]

We enjoyed watching this video! It was a fun and appetizing! ♥

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks Cousin Sue! 😘

[@jamesfoley6555]

Another wonderful vlog, always so interesting, thank you🙏✝️🙏🇨🇦

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi James, thanks very much! 💕

[@ellenredden3341]

Well done, Carol!! This whole video was delightful!!

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks Ellen! 🥰

[@jillchew-tetlaw3388]

All the food on this vlog looks delicious! We live about 45 mins from Skipton, it’s a lovely little town.

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi Jill! We love Skipton too and we really love these new businesses and their caring, talented and enthusiastic owners. Thanks for commenting 💕

[@ronnielloyd4676]

I think you and Rob are pushing yourselves forward too much, when, obviously, Tilly is the star! Another really enjoyable vlog as usual :)

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Haha - Tilly will no doubt resurface very soon in her lead role, Ronnie! Thanks for your great support! ♥️

[@areguapiri]

The store at the beginning definitely was designed with a very feminine touch.

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Yes, very much so. It makes a nice change from all the ‘chain’ coffee shops and it’s a hit with baby showers and hen parties - especially with the cocktails they offer! The food is easily good enough to please male customers, pink and fluffy or not! Haha 😛 🥰

[@colinbrown218]

Another beautiful video guys! I need to try the Ribble link in my rusty tub. Need a bit more experience and bottle first :-) Go "Boilermakers"! I used to wear a TX A&M t-shirt to annoy the local TCU (Horned Frogs) mob where we were based. I did get caught out at ORD airport :-( Elderly gent asked me how life was in College Station! Had to "fess up"! Liverpool Poly don't really do shirts?? I had the huge privilege to see Senator George Mitchell speak at TCU. Instrumental in the Irish peace agreement. Amazing guy. Sadly missed.

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi Paul - Rob attended Purdue for a few years (though he never got into college sports - he was a Colts fan when Peyton Manning was QB - happy days! Hope you’ll pluck up the courage and cross the Ribble one fine day! All the very best, Carol, Rob and Tilly 🥰

[@AndrewBroadbent-dr8wb]

Another great vlog,thank you.

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks very much, Andrew! ❤️

[@susansisk455]

I would love both of those cafes. Thanks for sharing (although I'm jealous). Where I live a "brew" means a beer ("lets go for a brew") so I was momentarily confused when it turned out to be coffee. Is brew for tea also?

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi Susan, yes it usually means a cup of tea here, our slang for beers is ‘bevvies’ or just ‘pints’. I wouldn’t normally associate “having a brew” with coffee, even though, of course, fresh coffee is brewed. 💕

[@susansisk455]

I guess I thought of coffee because I think of coffee being brewed and tea being steeped. Back in the day having a beer usually meant getting a cold can out of the frig at home. Now there are LOTS of microbrewies around and they are popular (loud music and loud talking). If you go for coffee (never "a coffee") means going to one of the many coffee shops (a counter and a few tables with usually a drive through window). If a friend says "lets go to tea" they mean a fancy afternoon tea with a 3 tiered cake stand. Otherwise for those of us who drink tea its usually a tea bag in a mug at home. It seems to be changing all the time though so I'll probably have trouble keeping up with the latest meanings! Cheers!@@NarrowboatLiberty

[@alangoffin3599]

Lovely video is Anna’s dog friendly?

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi Alan, yes it’s totally dog friendly - they put out fresh drinking (woof) water. Tilly just settles in under a chair or table :)

[@SamnJD]

I’m with Carol I don’t care… That was the last thing she said Rob I do love you but half the time I don’t really know if you’re hiding it behind laughter and joking or if you’re really putting Carol down… Because you do it so much and I have to say, I do look forward to your videos, but it’s quite annoying for me. Because it’s constant! I don’t have a clue if anyone else has said this because I don’t read the comments and it’s only my second time of writing on here but I love Carol…She’s one of the sweetest ladies… And don’t tell me you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, because I am learning the ukulele and the mandolin… Samn from Oregon

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi Samn, it’s just Rob’s sense of humour, which is very ‘British’ - I really do have a good laugh with him and never feel he’s being mean - that’s just not in his nature! Then there’s the fact that I do all the editing and I purposely leave in the banter, because I enjoy it - if I was upset by it, I’d edit it out! 😜 Truly, Rob supports me very much and strongly encourages me at every opportunity, but his quirky humour just comes out as we go along. We’ve been together 25 years and we still have a good laugh -and I give Rob as good back as he gives me! Please don’t worry and it’s really kind of you to say something. Hugs, Carol x

[@WendyP-jc3th]

I've known Rob and Carol for about 13 years and it's just Rob's British sense of humor you're seeing here. He adores Carol.

[@SamnJD]

Thank you lovely ladies for responding… Even though I found out as I thought doing my DNA… I am half British, I get it truly do anyway. Today’s been a good day what we call church I call the congregation gathering… As we’re all the church right! Anyway, it was wonderful and then a friend called me to come and join her for community music at the university EOU which is in La grande Oregon… beautiful. It was joyous, and Beautiful God is good He truly is so I’m not here to put anyone down because all I wanna do is build everyone up. I’m just trying to say let’s do that a little more ❤️

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Hi Samn, God is good ❤️ He’s in our marriage and I believe he must be forgiving, because my humour is definitely leaning towards ‘naughty’ rather than ‘nice’! That’s very much a British mannerism, though. I am aware (from when I lived and taught in the USA) that many Americans think we are being serious even when we’re joking! Take care and God Bless you ❤️ ❤️

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Thanks Wendy! (Rob) ❤️
