It's a great offer. I subscribed the last time you were sponsored by Readly, and it's an amazing tool. I've become an accidental Readly evangelist! 😂

Just a wee tip…..If you add a drizzle of olive oil to your spaghetti after straining, it won’t stick…also sprinkle with dried oregano & basil…yum yum…nom nom 😊❤ much love to you both & Alan xx

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Pour off most of the water, then splash olive oil, and strain. 😉❤

Splash of basil oil in it is everything. 😋

But don't do it on camera otherwise all true Italians will immediately stop watching the vlogs.

[@markd3250]

The cows at the end were fans! They like your channel too. They were yelling "LOOK! IT'S BEN AND EMILY AND ALAN!!" You're quite famous you know. The combination of Emily's eye for photography, Benny's canal-life inspired music which fits perfectly, and your personalities make your videos hands-down the best narrow boat canal life videos on KZbin. The only bad part about them is when they come to an end. Thank you again for another very enjoyable slice of your life!

[@BenandEmily]

Heheheh ❤️ Thank you so much for your lovely comment. So happy you enjoy our videos, and that they bring you happiness! 😻🌟

[@sharoncampbell206]

NO..not the channel! They have front row t and get to see their fav people! Dairy cows are famous for loving relaxing music, and so should these!

[@anniejones1839]

You are both so chilled, its like therapy watching you both.

[@BenandEmily]

❤️

[@karenwaller8929]

I'm watching your videos from the middle of the United States and am amazed at the canal system. You're so lucky to be young and doing something you enjoy. Your videos are entertaining so keep them coming. Wishing you good traveling.

[@triciazimmerman3522]

Benny is a real renaissance guy. God bless a man who cooks. Love watching.

[@jodie5238]

You guys are just so lovely, I wish I could meet people like you and have friends like you, its like watching a fairy tale you guys are so blessed, and Alan hello,thankyou for sharing xx

[@jennyfulcher8035]

Hi Benny and Emily: Love watching your various live-aboard activities (brewing beer, cooking meals, playing music, creating veggies, and of course, providing lap-time for Alan), as well as all of the beautiful scenery along the waterways. You're an attractive couple with expressive faces (Emily's eyes are especially expressive!). Alan's countenance is fun to watch as well. She's very Zen and mindfully in the moment, and is quite an adventurous kitty for sure. Love you all! 💜🧔‍♂👩🐱

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Alan's the boat owner. 😉

[@jennyfulcher8035]

@@DetroitMicroSound I can see that!

[@DetroitMicroSound]

@@jennyfulcher8035 ​I keep telling them to paint Alan's portrait (Bust perhaps?) on the boat, with "Alan - Boat Owner" or some such, placed prominently on the side somewhere. 😁

I like the "day in the life" videos. Gentle, pastoral, a cozy home. I'd be like, "it's after nine and I should be moving...or not." Thanks for the glimpse.

[@davidbarton5438]

I have followed you both from the start of your exploits from a shy couple to a professional pair of film makers ,brilliant so down to earth . Dave

[@uklds]

We stayed in that toll house at Norton junction many years ago. 14 years ago at least. You could rent it out. It was absolutely fab. We’ve finally picked our boat up and we are at our marina at Thrupp Wharf Enjoy you lovely pair Hopefully we will cross paths in the future Much love Andy & Nick

[@jordanguyy]

I was there around 3 weeks ago ahhhh I miss it all so much I hope I get better soon so I can get on with the work and get her straight back in the water.

[@uklds]

Rest up and get well soon :)

I think one of the great pleasures in life is watching a healthy woman eat.Bens cooking is a strong bond.

[@capecodquadcopters729]

Hi Ben, Emily and Alan. I wanted to say hello and let you know that I find your content interesting and relaxing to watch. It's binge-worthy :) You've also introduced me to a music genre that I was not aware of. Thanks for that. I just picked up the digital version of Ancient Suit Songs and am looking forward to chill time later this evening so I can kick back and enjoy it. 👍

[@leedavies3629]

Nice one Benny’s Bru looks good Al have a pint of Benny’s .last week that boat did not hafe hit ya in the tunnel an ripped ya cover what a bummer man big up Alan and his mate the cow have a top week 🙂🥕🎸✌️

[@fionabrown4693]

Just been watching your previous episodes after finding you by chance (I also follow Heidi the pirate). It was cool to find that you met at knochengorroch! Aka Knochy! That’s my local festival it’s such a magical wee place! Would also recommend Eden festival which my pal Stigers founded many years ago, it has a similar vibe down by the river and like entering into a little secret world for 3/4 days 😄. Loving your channel and you’re both so natural and funny, we’re dreaming of our own narrow boat one day, what an awesome way to live!

[@chartyd3740]

Benny's trousers at the start match the cushion behind him, love it!

Recently been watching lots of Narrowboat KZbinrs, all very good, but the combination of you 3 (and Alan is vital to the whole project) makes your channel absolutely my number one choice, keep up the great work ❤

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it 🌟😊

[@MabrysDad]

So enjoy watching y’all’s videos. Y’all seem like quite a lovely couple! Cheers from Texas!

Well, the coo's seem hungry from the sounds of things. Nice tunnel & somehow the music always seems to fit into the mood. Cheers.

If you're not at Redhills yet, ask for Colin Pailin when you are there on Dutch barge Anya. He will teach you a great way of tying up properly. He gave us boat training on the trent and soar. Totally top guy

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

only 7 locks.... haha so casual, cant wait to hit a tunnel, lovely vlog guys hope to see you soon on our travels xx

[@sharoncampbell206]

Love every bit of your videos. The cows in their pastures, baby Swans and ducks, the gorgeous countryside, the beautiful home you have, your sense of humor, your smiles, and all your adventures. Even the difficulties are interesting, and notice, you overcame it all. Love the music,as it makes your vlog even more enjoyable. . Love the music and it cruises around in my mind while driving my car. .

Catchy music there Ben.

[@paullawson8610]

The tune that's playing when you're having breakfast is that a fulte with your 12 string that magazine thingymebob looks cool some cool music magazines on there and the 6 liters of beer that was issued to the sailors was due to the water being unfit to drink so the thing safe to drink was the beer

[@MOHillbilly513]

I love Ben's wardrobe and wish I could come to England and he and I could go shopping for me.

[@bennyjonesmusic]

That would be a hilarious day out im sure 😊

[@dingnextstop]

Hi again, as you’ve entered the Leicester Line just wanted to say the most emails I get from CRT are either about fallen trees or Floods in that area…, I suppose it’s because as you’ve already said it has a tree canopy for quite a while and it only takes a gust of wind to bring them down across the canal. You make a great team, it makes all the difference when both can steer and do locks.. great video again👌

[@lynmoore8355]

Great Vvlog guys....... ummm maybe your neightbours was some of Ben's dinner... looks yummy... I remember years ago we hired a canal boat and did the Fox staircase, was awesome... and amazing as well... enjoy your time on the Kenneth and avon soon can't wait to see it, as when we were in the UK it wasn't finished....

[@andrewcakebread3317]

Love Alan. She has a similar walking style to one of my previous cats. I used to call it 'poddling about.

Having moored at crick a tip on how to remember the safe way to manage the red and white paddles is “ red before white and you’ll be alright…. White before red and you’re dead” that’s how we remember. But you have probably been down the Foxton flight by now take care Great cooking yummy Rowena

Love your videos….so real and natural. Thanks for sharing your life with us KZbinrs. When I was kid I was very suspicious of broccoli….the little flowers looked like bugs. I had to eat it and was assured they weren’t bugs. I’m 83 soon and have loved broccoli now for a very long time. 😻 Oh today I went on Google Earth to see the locks you mentioned.

[@susanb4481]

No need to add oil if you put pasta right into sauce, which allows pasta to absorb some of the sauce.

When are you hoping to get to the K&A?

[@yogihaughton]

I jus’ had to look up the word boshed in the dictionary as I had never heard it before. In the regular Collins dictionary it means nonsense or fooling around. However, the Urban Dictionary entry is VERY interesting. A video of you guys being actually boshed would get zillions of views, but get u a ban on youtube 😆. As you are gettin’ pasta cooking tips off everybody on here. ALWAYS rinse pasta in cold water after cooking, this removes all the starch, which is what makes it clump together, as per your video. Reheat by plunging into FRESH hot water for 30 seconds, or toss in a lil’ olive oil and butter until heated through. No mo’ sticky pasta.
