Boat Life | LIVING & WORKING from my BOAT | Canal Festival Gathering [Ep 129]

[@nathandavis7187]

I cannot put into words how much I enjoy this channel. As a serial KZbin video-hopper it's very rare I find myself watching every video someone has done and then re-watching them, but here I am! Thank you so much for the amazing content, you truly are a unique and brilliant talent at this.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Aww thank you very very much 😄❤️🏴‍☠️

[@angelabuxton2143]

Thursday night is Heidi night We're watching all her vlogs Heidi has a tit of rum While Bonnie barks at dogs Each Thursday night adventure Is edited with care It makes me feel so happy And wish that I was there The pirate boat is awesome With its happy smiling crew You make us all so happy We hope you're happy too Keep up the fab work Heidi Girl and Bonnie Dog Aaaaaaarrrrgghhh ☠️ 🏴‍☠️ 🍹🍸

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Fabulous 😄🏴‍☠️

[@annhay4572]

Love that Leaky Lock poem. Speaks to me of life. And yes, as a former boater and now a caravaner, I love having tanks full/empty whatever, and batteries charged, etc. Makes life so nice. People who own homes that have water and electricity and sewer 24x7, maybe they can't understand the "joy" of this sort of thing. 🙂 Trying to find water, fuel, coal, etc, much less a place to park your boat for the night. Much less the concerns of weather and wind. Oh, nice rainbow! and sunset. and clouds reflected in the water. Jaks! twice! What a busy, fun, festival. I had no idea. This is so cool. Gorgeous boats, 1933 Swift. My last boat was 1939. AAAARGH!

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thanks Ann 😄❤️🏴‍☠️ the joys of off grid living 😂😂

[@DutchVanHelsing]

[@lilesosannaflower9956]

Nice to see Jackie again and all the stuff going on at the festival. Bonnie been an absolute delight there, getting on with other dogs and looking like she was enjoying every day. The lock ditty said it like it was. Enjoy your week.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

She was wonderful … she is great once she has been introduced to another dog 😃😃

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

@@TheNarrowboatPirate So Lady Manning's Misses Bonny (only) shows manners as soon as officially introduced to others?! Sounds like Bonny is reborn from a former time period and was noble once? 😁 ;-)

[@waynedibbley4740]

Heidi, I love your channel, your energy. Keep doing what you do. Your changing my life x

[@youknowme8578]

Best day of the week, it's Heidi time again.👍

[@erikrijder4949]

DITTY - By Erik -watching from the Netherlands with his wife Arjanti👋🏽👋🏽 Loosely based on a famous song Her Bonnie is known over the Ocean Her Bonnie is known over the sea This Pirate is known over the Ocean Oh show us your video's to see Last night as we watched them cruising the cut The winds thrashing all over there Last night she was cuddling that mut The winds laying down over there Seeing the Rum Wench brings us much joy From here far over the ocean Bonnie and Heidi ain't coy To bring us their adventures in motion So happy so watch them and see.

[@deblou7]

My face hurts from smiling after this one, loved the poem on the lock and the ending with all the Piratey OOOARRRS was brill, top banana.. thanks for sharing Heidi 🏴‍☠

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Aww thank you 😃🏴‍☠️

[@mishkawp8200]

What a fab festival. Lovely to see Jackie, and Nicki of course! So good to see Bobby enjoying herself too - she’s come so far since you adopted her. All those people and dogs and she did brilliantly. Safe travels up north - looking forward to the next instalment of life with Heidi already! 😊🏴‍☠️

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 "The Tale of Leaky Lock" is a blast. 😁😁 Very true too (in many ways). Now back to the video.

[@stevebeckett4114]

Did well to get Richard Parry on your blog. Spot on spec at the festival too. X

[@Northen-point-of-view]

I love watching Heidi and Bonny. Bring on the innuendo, euphemism and the off colour humor. Im so glad i came across you Heidi, there is plenty of back door horizontal jogging going on down that tow path, keep up the good work x

[@JayneGunn]

[@DanOpdal]

Thank you for sharing your adventure! Thank you for taking me along. Cheers!

[@orchidhouse297]

Two words that should never be used alone 'MASSIVE & RUM.' or in my case 'MASSIVE & TAMNAVULIN.' Looks like the festival went exceedingly well. Hope you made a bob or two selling pirate treasure.

[@carolrayk]

We had a good laugh from the ending of your vlog. Everyone really got into the aaaarrrr in the end.

[@crantockbob]

Looks like you enjoyed the festival as much as we enjoyed watching you..Stay safe Bab

Hi Heidi you need to buy yourself a battery operated chain saw they charge of the power ideal for cutting wood for the fire Nice trip good to see Bonny enjoying her self

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Hi Heidi and Bonny. Loved the video. The poem you quoted was really good, my sort of poetry. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Good to see the festival, lots going on. Boat looking good. Loved John's song dedicated to you. Wearing your hat looked as though it had been on the RUM!!! Old boats looked great very colourful. Really enjoyed todays video. Take care both of you.

[@naturevideosmorebylindavan8531]

Wow! We really enjoyed this week's video! Great job Heide and Bonnie!🎹🎼🤗♥️🌻

[@Claire_Scott]

It was so lovely meeting you and Bonny, the festival was great and we had such a fab time! Love being part of this community, hope the weather isn’t too bad for you at the moment. Bruno sends puppy kisses to Bonny ❤️

[@pathfinderdiscovery9395]

I love festivals. Music wise I’ve an still do attend blue grass festivals an like you said , stuff to buy an trade a music galore an most of all , great people to have some fun with , love watching you all have some fun

[@joannebedford2]

A very big thumbs up to restoring canals

[@oneshoan]

What a fun video but bridge 69 reminds me how old I am! 😂🤣😂🍷

[@stuarthilton712]

Balls Bridge…… Fact, in the victorian times a local farmer used to hang his spuds over the edge of the bridge to air them !!

[@CodeSquares]

Great conclusion to the ditty. For those of us on the sailing side of boating, we like to call it "the most expensive way to get somewhere very slowly for free". Hurrying is just not on. I just went out (also singlehanding) the other day in a bit more wind than I was expecting and ... came right back in after 20 minutes. Nothing wrong with knowing your limits! R!

[@PK_Blinder]

The white building in the background when you're filling up at Fazeley used to be where I worked before it was converted into houses... 😊

[@janwaller3585]

Good to see the activity ❤️ be safe

Love Friday, cheers Heidi, Jackie and Bonnie.wished . I was there having fun but thanks for sharing.

Fun episode Heidi, it was great to see our old pals Jackie and Mr Canal himself, David Johns. 🏴‍☠️ Aargh! 🏴‍☠️

Yes David is amazing 😄😄

Bonny is as protective as a large German Shepard. Ha

[@captaindave47]

That looked good fun.☠️

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

It was 😄🏴‍☠️❤️

[@alibenkahn5092]

OK I can't stay silent any longer! Those shot glasses are just beyond AWESOME 😅. Time too to drink lots of rum or you'll be sinking under the weight of all those bottles 😂 . Love from Australia.

[@mikemiller209]

Fun times Lady ! Thanks for letting us enjoy them with you and Bonnie..

[@robertluisi5126]

" Raise the Jolly Roger " !!!!

[@simon-nb-Betsyray]

The sign on the bridge still proclaims it as "Ball's Bridge", in recognition of the fact that the original bridge on that location was built and owned by the Ball family, a well-known Dublin merchant family in the 1500s and the 1600s. The current bridge was built in 1791.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thank you 😄❤️

[@BevHousley]

Great Vlog again 😁 we’re with you, it’s to over grown in lots of places! Enjoy your travels 😁

[@jimmcintosh9045]

Thanks

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thanks soooo much Jim 😄🏴‍☠️❤️

[@wayneharris7534]

Another informative video I have to admit ..I take my hat of to you .and everyone else who lives on a narrow boat. From the English .channel to the north sea .the canals should be free. From companies extortionate fees.😊

[@dragnfli520]

Arrrrrrr ❣️🎉🏴‍☠️

[@rebeccadees2300]

Just really enjoy seeing how much fun you and your “mateys” have together!😊

[@caroledrury1411]

Thank God the meds haven’t hit Britain! You don’t see singing in pubs in the states!

[@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882]

Moored at the same point as you, 10:40 for good solar and the great views, on my way off the Coventry. I have also worked on the embankment to replace track side assets on the west coast mainline, opposite the festival/boat club. … glad you covered the Lichfield Canal Restoration, I work on the rail and have a lot of experience with that whole section, 18 miles to be precise. Incidentally, I tried to join your channel as a patron but for some reason my payment would not process. Anyway, Great video Heidi, crazy that I had to miss the festival.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thanks so much Nigel 😄🏴‍☠️❤️

[@LucilleBurch-kv4of]

Your adventures brighten my day. Thank you for sharing! Pets to Bonnie.

[@rikkiharcourt3868]

Can’t beat simple British bumbling about to have a bit of fun no matter the weather. We are so good at it. Spend our lives in training! Glad you had a good time.

[@stephenworthington8508]

Hi Heidi, enjoying your shows, You take care, Stay safe. /Stephen, Settle north yorkshire. X

[@ellencaswick3131]

Great video again Heidi. Loved the lock poem!!! Great seeing you and Nicki back together again. Lol Balls Bridge. You really are living the dream life. So glad I get to live through you after my 9 to 5 job on Thursday nights. The Festival was great and Jackie was there too. Her and Bonny look great❤️🏴‍☠️

[@glennalillpop3590]

Hello Heidi ... I totally love the Leaky Lock poem ... I think there's a message there for all of us to follow even if we aren't on a narrowboat. Happy end of the trading season. Looks like grand fun, hope your sales were good and the pirate booty was great to help tide you through the Winter. Jaki is a lot of fun, I was glad to see her and she seems to be a great Auntie for Bonny. Looks like Bonny did really well at the festival. As usual, I am reserving my spot on the Rum Wench for next week ... wouldn't miss it for the world. Hugs and love you you both and to those who journey with you. Please give a warm hello to Niki from "Gramma Lainee" as well.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thank you 😄😄🏴‍☠️

[@b.b.grenade1407]

I Love You Heidi

[@toebared]

Brilliant, love it ❤😂

[@christineprice5463]

I love seeing Bonnie. She is living her best life! You both seem to have great fun. Bonnie is really learning to be a friendly girl.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

She has her good and bad days with other dogs 😂😂

[@christineprice5463]

​@TheNarrowboatPirate She seems to improved a significant amount.

[@HeidiLineOlsen-m2b]

Hi Heidi, this is so fun , going on trips with you and Bonny. Just wonder..... can you sail on open water, lake , sea with a narrowboat ? My Frenchie Selma farted a lot, A LOT, but now I feed her grainfree, hollistic (?) dogfood, and I swear, almost never these days, yeah I can breed again. Best wishes from Heidi & Selma 👍🍺🏆🧜🧜‍♂🧜‍♀

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

😂😂❤️

[@susanhill9166]

Hi Heidi and Bonnie I had a right old giggle with your video, thank you. We have the storm here at moment, it's also been chucking it down all day grrrrrr, suppose to be over by 23.00 hours, to be a nice sunny day tomorrow. Take care, kisses for Bonnie X X X

[@andyrbush]

I always get a huge grin watching your wonderful and happy vlogs, Great to see you with friends and having fun.

[@anni50ful]

Ahoy me ansomes from battered Cornwall by the sea, the doors flew off the shed and we found a skull 💀 would you believe in the grass outside my front door,I thought the rum wench might of blown in for a visit ? I enjoyed the festival Heidi especially the stinky feet song😂 I went out with a chap from Coventry once,I'm pretty sure the Balls Bridge was named after him 🙄 till our next adventure OwwArrr 💀 ☺

[@anni50ful]

Kisses to Bonny☺

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thank you ❤️🏴‍☠️😄

[@moggymarkshobbies]

Hi grate videos keep it up from Moggy Mark.

[@rhodaborrocks1654]

I spotted the cameo appearance by ex boater David there. Yes, the old engines are interesting, you've got a very nice one too, I'm surprised at how reliable it is considering it's age, it was certainly built to last. I think out of all the old ones I like the Russell Newbury DM2 most, those things sound so cool, if I was having a boat built I'd like to pop one of those in it. Interestingly they were built not far from where I lived in my UK days. Thank you again for a lovely video, I always look forward to them.

[@jacquelineryde7339]

Such a fun Vlog, looks like a great time and little Bonny had fun. Thanks for another super Vlog ❤❤

[@JustinTurner000]

Great video as always. Hope you're doing well!

[@oohkumar]

Watching from California. Wonderful episode as usual.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thank you 😄🏴‍☠️❤️

[@cbeuck5024]

Next week in Aust is the " race that stops a nation" the Melbourne Cup where every one frocks up ( and whatever is the male equivalent). A hat or fasinator must be worn - your pirate hat would definitely be a fashion statement❤😊 ( google melbourne cup millinery). Me thinks you could get away with the pirate theme for the day - ditch the high heels! They tend to get stuck in the grass and give you blisters😎 Thanks for another (for me) relaxing break - tidying up my garage - time to restart thanks Jan Adelaide

[@jamesmaxwell1922]

Hi Heidi. Another great vlog. If it wasn't for the British weather we would lose half our conversation material!. Looks like the Festival was fun, and went well for you. I saw Mum last week. She is OK, although we both are feeling quite low. Not my place to say, but I you contact her I am sure she will explain.
