E35. We Encounter T.W.A.T.S on the River Nene on our Narrowboat Cruise

[@ellemdee276]

Wow! The scene at 15:04 is gorgeous - it's like a Constable painting come to life! The countryside still looks like the way he depicted it 200 years ago & you captured it with an Iphone! Amazing. Narrowboating would be a wonderful way for plein air artists to ply their craft, wouldn't it. Wake up, motor around for a nice scene to paint, pound down some mooring pins, set up your easel and that's your office for the day. Sigh.

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

I have a friend who is an artist and lives on a narrowboat

[@glapthorn]

Great one that. Many moons ago we lived in a small village outside of Oundle (near Fotheringhay actually) and moored in Oundle Marina. It is indeed a lovely river (when not in flood:-)) and this brought back many, many happy memories. Thank you so much.

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

So glad we've helped you reminisce in these bleak times ❤️

That takes me back a bit. Our first time on water in a cruiser from Oundle Marina in 1970 with a year-old boy who we kept firmly clipped to the boat. It was hot and dry all the time and the river was so low that we couldn't get upstream as far as Wellingborough. The locks look a bit more civilised now and I can remember no official moorings, it was all wild, but very beautiful, as it still is.

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

So glad we brought back some memories for you, totally age with you about how beautiful the river is

Completely agree with you about the rubbish. On the estate where I used to live, there's a sports field. It started with a couple of broken garden chairs dumped in one corner.

Good video thank you Our old lab started having lots of tummy trouble he had not had dog food for about two years, we cook him up rice with boiled chicken and veg, 1 1/2 cups of rice and 4 sainsburies basic chicken portions with veg will last him for 4 days if kept in a fridge. It was a amazing how much better he got once we took him off of the dog food. We sometimes break a raw egg in it to. For his breakfast he has some tined pilchards to help with his old bones, but most days you would think he was still a puppy, you would not think he was an 11 year old lab cross with a pony lol he is a big old boy. My daughters young dog started getting ill so now he is on the rice food to but he is posh he gets uncle bens rice fresh each day. A lot of people I have spoken to say their dogs struggle with dog food, it’s all the additives thar are in them

This is something we will probably end up doing if she keeps having these episodes, I think feeding her the food dry was having to much of a strain on her digestive system. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment👍

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

Karen Wilkinson We are 5 month on and no more stomach upsets, still slacking the dried food until soft. We had always been told from the vets to feed it dry as it helps to keep their teeth clean as they eat it. Its is a very chilled out life but it still occasionally throws you a curve ball 🎾
