Drinking six coffees in Stockport

[@PatrickPoet]

I love y'all:) A couple of coffee notes. Light roasts are the ones with the more varied and complex flavor profiles. Medium is less, and Dark less again. It's the same for "strength" as far as caffeine content goes, light roasts have the most caffeine, and then medium roasts have less, and then dark roasts less again. You see, caffeine gradually breaks down under heat, so the longer (darker) the roast, the less the caffeine. If you find that you can't drink coffee because it makes you too jittery, try with a darker roast. A nice French Roast is a typical dark roast, and I can drink them all day. One light roast leaves me with anxiety, jaw clenching, and the jitters. Mediums are in between. I happen to like the dark roast notes better, which is lucky for me, isn't it.

I just love watching this lovely family exploring life. I loved the priceless moment William shared food with his dad, what a beautiful moment captured. The vlogs are brilliantly put together and make such engaging watching.

[@johnhall4146]

How delightful these latest vlogs have been. I hope you realize just how much joy you bring.

[@motheranddaughteride]

I keep meaning to message on here and forgetting. From the Middlewood Way you can get to Middlewood train station which will take you to Stockport and also Heaton Chapel station (where you went to the coffee workshop), you can put your bikes on the train or lock them up at Middlewood station. The train to Stockport (and Heaton Chapel) is direct. It’s the Manchester - Buxton line. We live nearby and use the train often to go walking or cycling along the Middlewood Way or to go to Lyme Park. Lx

[@davidbamford4721]

The great thing about railway tracks converted to bicycle tracks is that the gradients are so gentle for pedallers.

[@juliettbarger8622]

Such a beautiful family. I love watching your videos.

[@kimrandi7677]

We love this format…Daily Doing Shorts. It’s fun to just see a snip-it of the day. You guys are delightful.

[@lupemartinez7562]

I love seeing more frequent vlogs from you, even if they’re a bit shorter. You two are my favorite narrowboat couple. And since I follow a ton of narrowboat vlogs, that’s saying something. Blessings from Naperville, Illinois, USA.

[@dragnfli520]

It's always fun getting mini tours of small towns in GB vicariously! Hmm... I'm feeling like a brew! ☕

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

You are spoiling us with this wonderful Vlogs. Love the way you embrace life in the villages and towns around where you moor. William is the cutest! Loved his little babushka look . 😊🤗 Kathy

[@junco477]

Oh my, you've got to leave the printed words up on the screen a bit longer. We oldies can't read that fast (but then, neither can William). 🥰

[@minkyjen8283]

Oooo this has made me want to do a little tour of the north - Stockport looks lovely - with other shops closing down, coffee seems a thriving industry! And yes, brings people together to talk, away from their phones! I’m compiling of list of the coffee sellers with their online shops etc you’ve mentioned along your travels to buy for family presents - so thank you ! 👏🏻

[@elizaphe58]

Has a Primark in the centre.Stockport always been a Creative Town printers etc my daughter has traded on the market there.The old part very quirky to visit.Similar to Macclesfield.

[@greenleesvideos]

So lovely to see you in my home town! Are you planning on opening the cafe well your in the Stockport area? Also by Hazel Grove Park and ride there is a great garden centre with a miniature railway that you should check out well your here!

[@MotownJT]

Thanks for the coffee and exploring the area. Plus, supporting local businesses. Appreciate your adventures here in Texas. Be safe!

[@janbooth3323]

Felt your pain on the hills from many years ago. I like how you just travel 😏 with whatever is available to get you there. Magical sky on way home, William enjoying his day out lovely 😍 to watch.

[@speedystan7637]

I have a two year old son also called William(Billy) or as he likes to say 'Biddy'. It really melts my heart seeing your little family explore on each video and visiting the interesting places you go to. I hope one day i can buy a narrowboat and explore the canals along with all the interesting places with my son and wife just like you. It may take alot of saving up and some years to do it, but it has become my life goal to show him teach him about British history associated with the canal systems.. All the best, Stan

[@paulyoung6165]

Hi There All, Hope you Are well , What a Great day out ,and so many choices of coffee , Take care All .☕

[@maureenlowther7621]

Love watching your videos, William is such an adorable little boy sharing his food with his Dad.❤️❤️

[@lizjones8984]

Your all around my area at the moment, and you have opened my eyes and found some coffee shops I need to try. Cheers for the great vlog…..ps. I saw the article in the Metro! your getting rather famous (and well deserved) a lovely couple and William steals the show at every turn! 😊

[@jadekinsey]

Everyone needs a Gould vlog on a Monday morning 🌄 🥰 positive vibes for a wonderful week 🌈🥳☕

[@atmatt]

Love the more upbeat vibe of the last couple of videos. Joanna is doing a great job, and is a lot of fun in taking the lead in the videos as well.

[@jode_steele]

William is one happy lil' dude. Reminds me of my boy as a tiddler - Steals the show every time! :)

[@coffeeterrain7685]

Hello Vic and Joan. thanks for joining the event! Much appreciated, would be great to catch up at some point!

[@floathi]

We need more of this in our world!! Thank you for sharing

[@arkadventure2]

Really enjoyed hanging out with you guys, and sipping a cup of coffee at the same time. I was so relieved to see back on your bikes at the end - I was a little worried that someone might steal them when you were away. Thanks for a great video!

[@veronicasmith1147]

What a beautiful family 🥰💞💛💜

[@vwdiscovery]

I glad to see someone from sunny Blackburn ( love the accent) is doing so well for themself, i once lived in Sunny Nelson not a thousand miles from Blackburn. I once worked in Blackburn at the RBH, lived in Nelson for 30 years living in Scotland now. all the best

[@Bugs1953]

Love William think he needs his own channel ❤😊

[@Gears40]

Welcome to Stockport! Glad you found the produce hall, one of my favourite places to eat.

[@MrGibogibson]

I've been watching your videos for a while now and really enjoy them... THEN low and behold you turn up at my hometown - Stockport, but then more specifically Heaton Chapel! Hope you enjoyed it.

[@suzieq2958]

I've binged your videos up to Jo's first washing of new baby clothes and I just want you both to know how much of a pleasure it's been! I've laughed out loud with just about every episode, sometimes so much it brought a tear to my eye😀 You're a comedy duo alright and I'm really looking forward to seeing how your lives adapt to the happy delivery💜💜💜 Best wishes from Oxfordshire P.S. Vic, I expect, by now you've been alerted to the fact that you're supposed to sit down for a wee on the compost toilet! 😂😂😂

[@rogergusty1802]

There's more to coffee than just Nescafe then!! Thank you for informing us (me at least, anyway) on the joys of trying different coffees, and the chance to meet some extremely interesting people. Already looking forward to your next video.

[@brianmartin2071]

Really enjoyable video , meeting new people and the coffee experience looked really good. Thanks for sharing your day out with us all .Take care and stay safe.

[@hughcarson6837]

Enjoy seeing you out and about in the town.

[@Billiehatescabbage]

I never ever normally comment on KZbin videos but I just wanted to say that I came across your channel in early feb and watched the odd video here and there and got HOOKED! So I went right back to the start and have watched every single video in order and now it’s March the 6th !

[@arimington-is7gv]

Great video guys, we think you are brilliant and wow! How little William is coming on, he is bright as a button, keep up the good work 👍👍

[@chrish3305]

My home town - great snippets of your tour and experience, fond memories of cycling The Middlewood Way too - thank you!

[@stephensaines7100]

Thanks for identifying the rail trail! I'm just Googling on it now.

[@simonbaxter8001]

​@Stephen Saines It goes from Macclesfield to Rose Hill at Marple. It runs fairly close to the canal, so circular walks up one, back down the other are really good. One of our local regular dog walks.

[@ralphwood5875]

Missed you guys for a few weeks (wife was in hospital but home now and everything ok )So glad your survivied the winter ok .I was so surprised at Wiliam's vocabulary. Cats and Cows all over the place, my how he's grown in such a short time. Take care all ofyou ,now I have to follow you to Spain Cheers from Canada.❤❤❤

[@zedalis]

Love that you folks are now doing shorter vids with different themes. I appreciate your efforts. Thank you!

[@teresaclaus8683]

Great video. The people you talk to are so lovely.

[@johnharrison9317]

What a wonderful vlog. Thank you for the generosity for sharing. I love the fact that you get out and about, even though I felt that the coffee meet up was a little underwhelming, but good on them for trying. Having left the UK some 40 years ago, I have a real hankering to return after viewing your vlog.

[@donmurray3638]

How very British to thank the bus driver! 😁

[@danensis]

Why wouldn't you?

[@paulwhitehouse3690]

Wonderful context to the life you folks lead. Really enjoyed your walkabout with a focus (coffee in this case). The other aspect of your presentations is that they are timely, just by looking at your clothing, how wrapped up, or otherwise William is, I am made aware of the reasonably current UK weather, and can know what our relatives are generally experiencing. A small thing but a connection nonetheless. Thank you, Paul, Johannesburg

[@simonbaxter8001]

Jo/Vic, whilst you were in Macclesfield a couple of months ago, did you get to try 'Yas Bean' a few hundred yards away from where you were moored? That is a great coffee shop, really popular with locals, always packed and very good. If you haven't tried it, try it if/when your in the area again.

[@iandavenport8423]

You have clearly passed Lyme View and are on the way to or well past Marple by now. Just want to let you know that you are now in my home region so if you need transport in an emergency I am not far away. PS I am the person who left you a bottle of Sloe Gin two years ago when you were moored near Alrewas. Apologies I did not know how inappropriate it was at the time. Hope you enjoyed it anyway. I now have a new wild plum gin which is awesome and more sloe gin. All the best

[@brodie2711]

Narrowboats and coffee I'm in heaven ❤

[@SaRawRin]

You really saw the best of Stockport there, if you’re still around they have the makers markets on by the produce hall this weekend which are worth a visit.

[@elizaphe58]

Good old Stockport! on my road in Old Trafford there is a little cafe where the owner roasts the beans! She also has a cafe in Chorlton cum Hardy too. Love watching this little family.

[@elspethlaity1890]

I'm loving these 'extra' videos,especially as I was brought up(and still have family ) in this area.You must have been exhausted by the time you got home,but it looked like a great day.x

[@johntweats3175]

I love watching vlogs from canal users like yourselves including the good and the bad sides of narrow-boating, we have are own but only use it six or seven months a year. As well as seeing places we haven’t been to yet, we like other folks take on places we HAVE been but knowing there are no longer canals that close to where we live, the chances of meeting up with vloggers is quite low, although we have met some by chance. Then you cycled to Poynton, got a park and ride to Stockport followed by a bus to the little coffee shop across the Rd from Heaton Chaple Station, if you’d followed the Rd it’s on for another mile, you could have come to our gaff for your 7th coffee ! Keep doing what you’re doing and we may find you on the cut. 👍

[@frankquevedo3453]

I really enjoyed this video :-) I'm a subscriber, have been for eons. I, while stationed in Oxfordshire , Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire, I'd visit as many tea or coffee shoppes to get to know folks of the area I was living in. History, great drinks, SCONES, WERE ALL FANTASTIC!

[@jraphael7044]

Really loved this video 🥰

[@pilpelet100]

Amazing! Not only do you go to my home town, but B'spoke Coffee is in Heaton Moor, where I used to get off the bus to go to school - long, long ago! Thanks for the memories.

[@mitchellharper5853]

Love your work it always makes me happy 😃

[@davidnichols147]

Priceless, I love your travels here and about, this one particularly made me chuckle, Thanks again for this marvelous video, hope you made it over those exhausting hills.

[@workinprogresssince1974]

Glad you're enjoying our bit of the country. :)

[@wharfedalehome]

I remember Stockport, from many years ago, as a nasty, dreary and dirty little hole. But it looks really nice in your vlog. I don't know if things have changed a lot, or I was just not in the right place, but I'm going to give it a try when I get the opportunity. Thanks - Tim x

[@wharfedalehome]

@Manic Miner Manic - thanks for your comments. I think you’re completely right. My comments were about Stockport as a place rather than the people who lived there. Where I lived at the time not too far away and was arguably an even worse place. But as a visitor anywhere, the visual impact of a place is likely to be more important than what locals are like. That’s because unless you stay any length of time you’re unlikely to get to know many people wherever you go just for a brief visit. I do think that a high quality built environment, just as much as a lovely countryside, is everybody’s right. I think it’s especially important if you live there, rather than just visit, because it’s your home all the time. Sadly there are too many places I know that are not really fit for the people who live there. As you say, there may well be more visually appealing places further South, but up here in the North we deserve those kind of pleasant environments as well. They do exist of course, but they seem to be few and far between, which I find both sad and frustrating. I think we should collectively put more effort, and money, into public places that we all use. Part of the government's Levelling Up Programme was advertised to do just that, so the need is at least widely recognised. I think that we do need to actually do it though, rather than just promise it - Tim

[@ToyotaFJOntario]

❤️🇨🇦 Love the adventures!

[@annamarsden7160]

Lovely video, thank you! I worked for many years in Stockport just round the corner from the market and didn't really appreciate it, nice to see it with your fresh eyes.

[@caroledodd1634]

I’m enjoying watching your videos. They’re really interesting as I live in this area that you’re exploring and I like recognising our local places. But you’ve also shown some new places that I haven’t explored myself which has been good. I keep thinking I may bump into you all as I also live near the canal.

[@layalabi1667]

Another lovely vlog!! Thank you!!

[@isobelchapman9548]

Lovely, hope you got home safely.

[@stevebolton2547]

Guys, I've been a subscriber of your channel since the the day you picked up holly. The very same evening I also subscribed to another young couples channel who have also got themselves into coffee and ironically become new parents too. Nomadic movement is the channel. Morning movement is the coffee channel

[@RoslynHillLatchHookCrochet]

I was thinking the same! We love the Nomadic movement in Panama. They source their coffee from local farmers, cutting out the middle man and selling it in their own roastery inVermont. Amazing vloggers like this family.

[@GaryCSchade]

Slowly but steadily your building something! Every one of the last episodes have a touch of somewhat new. I guess you will be the first to own a Narrowboat with ***** in Guide Michelin. 🥰☺☺😇

[@revonda5204]

I'm glad to see British embracing brewed coffee & not instant! 😊 I've seen many videos & tv shows & it seemed everyone made instant coffee. You're so passionate about your tea but drinking horrible coffee. Yippee! You've learned about better coffee. (Yes, the US has a long way to go on the tea side...😞) Love seeing all of these lovely towns & villages. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

[@bitsandblocks7826]

We've been into fresh brewed coffee for a while now. Costa (now owned by Coca Cola) is bigger than Starbucks here. I do miss the days when the only decision you had to make was black or white ☕️😂

@@bitsandblocks7826 And "How many sugars?"

[@donaleeslack4925]

Lol, ca you say" wirered"? I can't drink coffee after noon as it keeps me awake at night. Woo hoo, such fun. I'm so glad to see your vlogs more often. Just, love your wee family.😊❤

[@scottphillips7108]

I literally woke up from a nap a few minutes ago and the first thing on my still tired mind [for whatever reason] was I wonder if Vic & Joanna uploaded a video today... And got online to check and 'walla you did... Why??? The channel episodes just must be that great to enter into my subconscious like that... - P.S.: William does look like a Russian lady with that babushka on...

[@womblechops]

I used to love going to Stockport and getting a coffee at the - all vegan - Hillgate Cakery (about 20m to the left of that VR postbox). It's a place that has always lived in the shadow of its big neighbour but really has so much more heart.

[@mattcherry276]

It is very strange seeing you in such familiar places! I live less than a ten minute walk from the Park and Ride where you left your bikes and have lived in Stockport for 35 years since I was 9. Welcome to the area! Unfortunately the town centre is getting quieter and quieter, partly because of the usual big chains opening up in surrounding areas, partly because of online shopping and partly because the town's suburbs such as (for us) Poynton and Hazel Grove provide all we need so we never really think to go into the town centre.

[@cornishhh]

I remember Stockport when I was a child in the late 1960's as a very busy place with a big market. I've not been there since but I was surprised at how quiet it was.

A coffee class, what a groovy idea. You might say I am a bit of a coffee nut, as I love trying various coffee blends to experience different flavors and strengths. My GF, (of 10 years plus), have five different coffee makers to samples new brews. I get the feeling that you two are coffee nuts as well. I suppose if we want to sound more like dandy's we could call ourselves Coffee Aficionados. LOL!

[@grahamlewis6062]

🌟👏Got the taste buds buzzing! Now just gotta have a coffee . Love your vlogs, really feel part of your world 😃Please let’s us know the nationalities of the various coffees you’ve tasted, with their descriptions. I get flummoxed by the choices I’d love to try, but it’s too expensive to buy a packet if I’m going to find it too strong or bitter. Joan
