Blown Away - Life on a Narrowboat - We Can't Believe it! Ep 236

[@brodie2711]

What a lovely gesture from one of your viewers to offer you a weekend in their BnB ,it's so heartwarming. I loved watching your walk around York, it's such a lovely city. All the best guys ❤ Stephen

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

It really was Stephen. We were totally blown away. York is a fab city. Neither of us had been for years, so it was great for us. Hope you have a great weekend ♥️

[@debbievidal9536]

You're such a lovely couple. You deserve all the kindness that comes your way. ❤

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thank you Debbie. We are always so humbled when people are so kind. Hope you have a great weekend ♥️

[@lovelyskull3483]

Wow, York is beautiful, historical and amazing. Such a thoughtful gift to give. People are so kind. Paul a friend of mine had cataract surgery on both her eyes and she says she can see the man on the moon. Thank you for this exceptional video, take care.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Haven’t been for years and forgotten how beautiful it is. People are really kind, they are a lovely couple too. I had lens replacement a few years back (same op as cataract) and it has been incredible given how short sighted I was. Glad you enjoyed the vlog. Have a lovely weekend ♥️

[@davidwatkinson7552]

Friends, friends, friends and more friends. That is the boating community in a nutshell. It is almost unbelievable. It is definitively an awesome way to live. Love David and Jen.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Absolutely guys. It was the nature and the community that attracted us to this lifestyle and it hasn’t disappointed . Hope you guys are still enjoying the boat ♥️

[@davidwatkinson7552]

We are thoroughly enjoying everything about living in a marina. However, we are both planning on having next summer off work. I wonder what that will feel like. The word 'freedom' comes to mind. As does the word 'scary'. Actually, the right word is probably 'overwhelmed'. Anyway, our first winter is rapidly approaching!

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

It will be exactly that guys. You will definitely feel that sense of freedom. The problem is, you will probably not want to go back to work. ❤️

[@deballen6147]

What a wonderful gesture, York looks amazing. Thank-you for sharing x🎉

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

We were blown away Deb. Such a kind gift and a lovely couple too. Have a lovely week ❤️

[@mishkawp8200]

What a lovely break for you both. York looked extremely busy - definitely good to see it in the evening…..or the winter! Such a beautiful city though. Wonderful vlog - really interesting, so thank you! Have a lovely week xx

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

We felt really humbled Mishka. It was a very bustling city. We had an absolute blast. Thank you for watching. Have a lovely week ❤️

[@jaynecopland]

Not to sound like an old lady or anything. I had cataracts in both eyes and had new lenses put in. They are magical! I’ve had to wear glasses since I was 7 (lots and lots of years). The only time I need to wear any correction is when I’m reading music (which is what I do for a living). BUT!! I can wear sunglasses for the first time ever! 😂

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

It is a game changer Jayne. I had lens replacement and considering how short sighted I was, it has been a revelation. Hope you have a lovely weekend ♥️

[@ChristineCarter-q4i]

Hi guys What a lovely vlog, how kind of that couple to give you that weekend away, it looked amazing, a real tonic for you both. I'm sorry to hear Paul is having trouble with his eyes, I'm sure it helps many people, Paul sharing what's happening and the treatment. He's handling it so well, I'd be a bag of nerves Glad you had such a nice time away, stay safe and look after each other. Look forward to next Friday. Xx ❤

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Hey Christine. It was so kind to receive that gift. It was a fabulous city and we had a great time. Paul is definitely getting there now and hopefully, his sight will be vastly improved when he has his cataract done. I do hope it helps others needing this too. Have a lovely week and take care ♥️

[@deborahjohnston2808]

What a wonderful video! you saw so much beauty and history.I love to see the marvelous stone work done many years ago!I admire the 2 of you!you always add a smile to my day❤️

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thank you Deborah. We had a fab time. It is a great city to explore. The kindest of people never cease to amaze us. Hope you have a lovely weekend ♥️

[@janegerow5974]

What a beautiful dog you painted. We just adopted a rescue dog. A female Bassett hound. She is stunning. I’d love a portrait of her! ❤❤❤❤

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Hey Jane. I loved watching Paul do this portrait, you could almost stroke her ears. You can contact Paul re prices ect on www.Paul’s art.co.uk Hope you have a lovely week and that your rescue dog has settled in. ❤️

[@juliaharris8751]

Hi, gentlemen! Great vlog with lots of variety. You two just have too much fun. 😊 Paul, like many who commented, the cataract surgery should be a revelation for you. After mine, not only general eyesight was greatly improved but colors were brighter and sharper. No eye patch and could see better almost immediately through the clear eye shield. York looks to be an amazing city to visit. You just gave me another place to add to my bucket list. Safe cruising! 💚💚

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thanks Julia. Paul will be made up when his cataract has been done. I was amazed when I had my lenses replace too. You should definitely visit York if you get the chance. Just an amazing city. Have a great week ♥️

[@bethpeake8506]

Well that's one of the best vlogs you have done. In fact I enjoyed it so much I watched it twice. Really good to see York, I haven't been there for many years. I mean, after watching all the places here today, it was gorgeous, and no matter what you do or where you go usually, water is water and trees are trees. So nice to see something completely different. More please like this. Loved it. Take care you two, lots of love. B XX

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thanks Beth. We loved York. We hadn’t been for years either. Great place to visit. So kind of Kieron and Celeste to let us stay. Hope you are keeping well ♥️

[@bethpeake8506]

@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked maybe you could think of doing a touristy type vlog a few times. Special and beautiful places you go to, and do a full show and tell of the place and its beauty spots. Lots of your fans don't live in the UK, so would never get a chance to see so many beautiful places the Uk has. It would be really interesting and who knows, Paul's amazing photos and your quirky written narrative of a place, would make a cracking coffee table book 😉😉😉 just sayin!!! 😏😏

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Sounds like a plan. 😊 ❤️

[@choclatmajik1]

Lovely video.. What a kind gesture, from a wonderful couple. A break you both needed. Fantastic weather too ! York is just glorious with so much to see and do.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thank you Jan. We were gobsmacked by the generosity and we absolutely loved York. We were very lucky with the weather. It was exactly what the doctor ordered. Hope you have a great weekend. ♥️

[@tmcmurdo826]

I was tickled to see the two of you get a wonderful weekend away. Well deserved and it looks like you made the most of it. Thank you for sharing some of it with us. Tim

Wonderful boys. I have very fond memories of York...36 years ago! I'd love to go back but its a long way from Australia! *hugs* to you both.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thank you. We loved York. So much to see and do. I hadn’t been for years until this trip. It definitely is a long way from Oz. ❤️

[@susanleadbetter8639]

Another great video. Hope your eye has settled down now. What a lovely kind gesture of that couple. Lovely journey around York thank you. It's been many years since we were there. Loved the night tour. Take care both of you. 💙💙🐾

Fun fact the boat vrijheid moored next to morgenster means freedom in Dutch. It's quite poetic that those 2 boats were moored next to eachother

Lovely autumn day on the canals.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thanks James. I do love autumn and the beautiful colours we are treated to. Have a lovely weekend ♥️

[@johnkirk-gk4wg]

Paul & Anthony, we have massively enjoyed and enjoy your canal adventures. Both John & I are looking to move permanently on the cut and your experiences and passion have supported us. The reality of canal life is so apparent and looking forward to your next steps. Your love for Dexter and his passing deeply moved us. Sending love & thanks, John, Sara & pet dog (12) Max xx

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thank you guys. That’s really kind. We were devastated by the loss of Dexter. He was the most beautiful soul. Good luck with your future plans. We love canal life. Love to you both and a cuddle and belly rub for Max ❤️

[@beckiweaver8383]

Paul, I just had my cataracts done this past January. But my dr told me it might help to wear a bill hat with my sunglasses. For me, it really helped. Maybe try that, since the sun in the northern hemisphere is a lot lower. I'm so glad i became a member. Take care both of you.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thank you Becki. Hope your surgery went well for you. I had lens replacement a few years ago and now have better than 20/20 vision. Paul can’t wait to have his done. Will tell him about the hat. Thank you for joining as a member too. ♥️

[@beckiweaver8383]

@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked hey Anthony, I will always wear glasses for my stigmatism. My eyesight is SO much better since surgery. Now I can crochet and cross-stitch again. Yea

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Amazing. Science is incredible isn’t it. ♥️

[@catwalk1958]

My husband had a detached retina and they said he would get a cataract within 6 months of it getting fixed so replaced lenses at the same time as op to fix retina. Hope all goes well.xx

[@carolburke9153]

My cataracts were removed from each eye on two operations (year apart) no problems .

It really was Julia. We are so Humbled by people’s generosity. Absolutely loved York. Have a great weekend ♥️

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Anthony, I really like your top. It was absolutely perfect for your day out in York. Walking around the Shambles, it looks like it could be VERY easy to lose track of each other. 🤣 It looked like you both had a nice time, a little break away and those city walls were absolutely wonderful. Thanks again for sharing your adventures and experiences in York. 🙂🐿🌈❤️ Eve

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thank you. It looks very summery. 😊. Definitely won’t get lost in that. We had a fab time. It was such a thoughtful gift. Hope you have a good weekend ♥️

[@lizpegden1635]

My hubby John has just had a double op last week on his eye( second op to come) He has Glaucoma and has become 100% allergic to all drops after 20+ years. He had the glaucoma op and also cataract removal and for the first time in 64 years does not need to wear glasses for the eye operated on ( as of today has a clear lens) With the op he needs to wear a peak cap to shade the eye as it is ultra sensitive to light - especially the Autumn sun. It's been like a miracle this past week with his eyesight coming back so amazingly and his pressure in that eye is now just 6 instead of 20+ . You definitely need to wear a cap over those eyes of yours

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Blimey Liz. That is incredible, especially with the reduction in pressure too. Fingers crossed Paul has similar success. Have a lovely week ❤️

[@AngelaHarrison-un5md]

Oh I can’t believe I was in York on what possibly was the same weekend and missed the chance to say hello. Glad you enjoyed York, you both deserved the break and so kind of the couple to do that. You give out so much love so it is lovely when you get to see how happy you make people.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

No way Angela. That would have been great. We had a fab time, hope you did too. We were totally humbled by the kindness of people. Really kind to say we give back. Thank you. Have a good week ❤️

[@TheDR411]

I love York. Saw so many things that I have visited. Yes,Toilet. Walking the wall was amazing. We did it with my dog that is here in the U S. Then we found out there were signs for no dogs. lol.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

It is a great city isn’t it. We were shocked dogs weren’t allowed on the city walls. Not an issue in Chester. Hope you have a lovely weekend ♥️

[@Cariboukid]

Anthony, you have the best T-shirts! I don't admit anything either ;) Lol I didn't know anything about York other than some historical things before this video. What a beautiful place and it seemed like just what the doctor ordered for you two!

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Ha ha I just said something about Anthony’s shirt. I absolutely agree with you, he seems to have such a great collection of shirts and jumpers. I’m keen on the one he was wearing walking around York. It was perfect in those crowded areas like the Shambles. I want one 🙂

York is a fabulous place to visit. I know all these places have upkeep and costs, but some of the entrance prices are keeping ordinary families out. I never got around to the walk around the city, I wish I had. Glad you had a great visit, the homeowners were so kind. xx

It was lovely to see York again! We visited the UK in 2018, and really want to get back. Thank you for taking us along on your visit! I had detached retina surgery in January, and was told to expect cataracts within 2 years. My vision is fine in that eye except very very nearsighted. Please wear a hat, as others have suggested! It somehow helps prevent or delay the cataracts! Also, sunscreen. It’s better to have an ounce of prevention. Take care!!!

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

We haven’t been for years so was good for us to see York too. What a great city. So much to see and do. Glad you enjoyed a re visit Via the vlog. Hopefully Paul won’t have to wait too long for his eye surgery. He definitely should wear a hat. Hope you have a good weekend ♥️

It is a great city Shane. Haven’t been since I was a kid. Had a great time exploring though. Hope you have a good weekend ♥️

[@CrichieB]

Hi guys. Re Paul’s cataracts they are brought on by the laser fixing the retina back on. The worse the damage the quicker the cataract develops. I never got my vision back properly in my eye until they put a new lens in. If you have it done you may notice that you see more blue in the right eye. On the plus side my eyesight has never been better. Love all your vlogs and the skill you put into editing. Take care ☮️

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thanks Crichie. They did warn Paul he may get a cataract. I had my lenses replaced a few years back for vision correction. Bets thing ever.have a great week. He can’t wait until all his eye problems are sorted. ❤️

Thanks for the lovely tour of York. Looks amazing. A word about cataracts: my partner is a visual artist and had cataracts in both eyes about 25 years ago. She had both eyes done and, as you can imagine, it had an enormously positive impact on her work. Besides regaining clarity of line and colour she had the additional benefit of not having to wear glasses! (I'm deeply envious...). Thanks again for sharing another great video guys. Cheers

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thanks Neil. We had the best time. I keep telling Paul how good it is. I had my lenses replaced a few years back to give me better vision (same as a cataract op) and the results are great. Glad your partner has also benefited. Have a lovely weekend ♥️

[@grahamgresty8383]

don't worry about Paul's cataract. I I got one after a detached retina. After a new lens was fitted, your sight will become clearer and colours will seem more vivid. The down side is there will be a good chance your other eye will 'come out in sympathy' so a year later expect another operation!

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Same Graham. I have had lens replacement which is the same op. It was amazing how quickly I could see afterwards. I do hope he doesn’t go through what he has been through with his other eye. Fingers crossed. Have a great weekend ♥️

Another awesome vlog! Always look forward to watching your videos. I’ll eat the extra-crunchy toasted sandwich. What a lovely Airbnb. An awesome walk about the village. You certainly got your steps in. Sorry about the chip in your windshield, Anthony. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Take care and enjoy your weekend guys. 👋🏼

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Hey Brigid. Glad you enjoyed. We had an amazing time in York. I ended up with the extra crunchy toasted sandwich 😊. Such a lovely gift, so kind. Definitely got steps in. Luckily the chip was covered by my insurance. Hope you have a lovely weekend ♥️

The York Museum looks interesting too. Roman artefacts, iron age gold torcs and medieval jewellery.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

It was great Hannah. The whole York trip was brilliant. Haven’t visited for years. Have a good weekend ♥️

[@suzanneb6150]

Hi guys, noticed how trim your looking Anthony. Your fitness is showing. Well done! I love York but no matter what day or month it’s always packed! X❤

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Aww thank you Suzanne. I really have been trying. We had a blast in York. So much to see and do. Hope you have a good weekend ♥️

[@denisemeredith2436]

What a lovely video of York, I nearly fell off the couch when you mentioned the entrance fee for the Minster. How lovely for you to be invited to an AirBnB for some respite. Paul, your artwork is really good and I thought Molly was about to jump off the page. I hope you have a great week, stay dry.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

We had an incredible time Denise. We were gobsmacked by the cost of the Minster too! We were so blown away by the kindness of Kieron and Celeste. Such a lovely gift. I said the same to Paul that I felt so could stroke Molly’s ears. He really is so talented. Have a lovely weekend ♥️

[@FrankC321]

Those are some filling looking burgers and pizza. Very fun filled video, lots to see and do.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thanks Frank. They were delish. Not great for the diet though 😂. Had to work extra hard at the gym. Have a good weekend ♥️

Hey Guys - Thank you for sharing your trip to York! What an amazing city with so much to see & do! xx

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

It was a cracking city Kathy. We loved it. Thanks for coming with us ♥️

[@Tass...]

Your videos are fantastic and Paul your artistic side comes out in everything you guys seem to do in life. Your art work is incredible. Hope you are both well.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Aww thank you. Glad you like the stuff we put out. We are both good thank you. Hope you are having a good day ❤️

[@debmansbridge3923]

As always chaps thanks for taking us on your much needed trip to York it’s somewhere I have always wanted to see but I’m not well enough now so a massive thanks ❤

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thanks Debs. Sorry you can’t visit York. It is a great city and pleased we could show you around. We had a great few days. Have a good week and take care ❤️

[@susansherman7551]

Lovely video and the weather looks just as good. Wish we had a more developed business and rail system. Take care and I am hunkering down for the next hurricane. Check out the Gulf of Mexico 😮. Lots of rain!!! Send more sunshine 😂!!! From Florida hugs and thanks

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thank you Susan. We were lucky with the weather, it rained on our last day. Stay safe with the imminent hurricane. Sending hugs back ♥️

[@KatelynsAdventures707]

Hi guys, how awesome to have a weekend in York. Definitely a well earned break. I never got into York minster either, it was closed to the general public cause of renovating at the time.. Must see if I can buy toasty bags down under. I’ve never heard of them, excellent idea. Catch you later take care. Love from downunder. ❤️❤️🙏🙏

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Hey Katelyn. It was amazing. Such a kind thing of Kieron and Celeste too. Toasty bags are great. Can even do the garlic slices in them. The Minster was a ridiculous price to get it. We admired it from outside. Have a great weekend ♥️

[@KatelynsAdventures707]

@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked you have some wonderful friends 🙏

[@catherinekitt6500]

Ahh the memories we used to Moor up at museum gardens in York. It took a day and a half from ripon. Take care both xxx

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

It is a beautiful in York. We planned to get there this year but the river lock was closed. 😢. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️

[@philstevens9914]

Wow, I remember that post office and the spa well. I have a brother that lives on Park Hey Drive which is directly behind the Spar. There is a walk through to the left as you look at the store front. As you walk through the houses that face you, he's the 3rd one down from the top. I heard he got divorced. His ex is a certain woman called Michelle. She has a brother called Anthony who you may well know. It's a long story but we haven't communicated for around 10 years. Have a good weekend guys. I have a long 5 hour drive to Connecticut to pick something up coming up later today.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

We absolutely love Parbold. Such a great village Phil. Not sure we know the people you are on about as we have never lived there. Hope you have a great week ♥️

[@sueg1530]

Another really interesting vlog, thank you. York is lovely when less croded! We have enjoyed a week in Lancashire. Xx

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

We had a fab time Sue. Definitely prefer when it is less crowded. Aww, shame we missed you, we are in Lancs at the moment. Have a great weekend ♥️

delightful! loved the night time filming...very beautiful. That piece of art, "Molly" is terrific. Thanks for this from Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thank you Martha. We had the best time. Such a beautiful city. I loved Paul’s artwork of Molly. Looked like you could stroke her ears. Have a lovely weekend ♥️

[@Michael_Sheldon]

I’m so sorry you’re still having eye challenges, Paul. Me too. Two cataracts and two detachments since April. Aging is the shits! What a lovely break in York. It’s always therapeutic to have a change of scenery. Love to you both! ❤

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Hopefully, the cataract op will be the last of it Michael. Ageing definitely isn’t for the faint of heart. York was incredible and we were so humbled by the lovely viewers gifting us the break. Hugs to you. Have a great week ❤️

[@sheepdog1102]

You are a great artist! That picture was unbelievably beautiful!😊

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

I love seeing his work come to life. He is super talented and I am very proud of him. Have a good week ❤️

[@joyhatton5054]

Hi love the video, yours are the only videos I never run through , I’ve had two cataracts off no problem , hope yours will be ok too. Look forward to the next one. ❤

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thank you Joy. Glad your eyes are sorted. Hope Paul has plain sailing with his. Have a good week ❤️

[@catherine3902]

Lovely vlog. Great to see you enjoyed York. Ill be heading there first thing Saturday morning, from our home in the Hebrides, to our youngest son. Opposite that Morning Star boat, is the path where we walk when down there 😊. Our son leaves York, after living there 7yrs, for a new career, in Leeds. 😊Thanks for the vlog. Take care, keep well. Enjoy your weekend xx

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Hey Catherine. We had a great time. Aww amazing, hope you enjoy your stay too. We were loitering hoping we could have asked the owner some questions. Good luck to your son and his new career. Have a great week ❤️

[@bikepackingadventure7913]

I’m an advanced practitioner who administers the local anaesthesia - sub tenons block for cataract surgery. So hope your cataract surgery goes well. It wont take as long as your vitrectomy surgery. We have a surgeon who can do a cataract in 10minutes, but generally they take around 30minutes. Good luck 😊

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

He can’t wait to get it sorted. I had lens replacement a few years back, which is essentially a cataract op, it was incredible that I could see within an hour. Have a good weekend ♥️

[@terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725]

The toastie was not burnt just well fired as one of my Scottish friends used to say.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

😂. I am definitely using that one Terence. Hope you have a lovely evening ♥️

Thank you Pamela. It was an incredible gift and we enjoyed York so much. Have a lovely weekend ♥️

[@joycedellinger2528]

York sure was a pretty city to visit. Loved the gardens you saw on the walk above them. Clifford Tower was really cool. Loved the house you both stayed in and it was nice of the couple to let you stay there.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

It was an amazing city Joyce. We loved it. The couple were so kind, totally blown away. Hope you have a great weekend ❤️

[@MelG-ut3hs]

I've been to York a few times and love it there. Your vlogs are always brilliant and interesting.

A lovely different vlog. Some lovely weather out on the cut to the same in York. You certainly made the most of the beautiful place. You are blessed with wonderful supporters and friends. Pity about the cataract Paul, I got two they thought through covid, but its so good once they were removed, I was seeing things I hadnt noticed before --including dirt which wasnt so good lol. Thank you xxx

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thanks Susan. We had such a great time. We do have the best viewers/supporters. I think Paul will be all good once his cataract has been done too. Shame you got yours during Covid. Have a great week and take care ❤️

[@ClaireGodson-mf7rn]

Such wonderful views from the wall walk....took me back to a visit I made there with my late partner. Such a lovely city!
