What a mess all that water! Your plants are looking healthy

[@dorothydotson7154]

Your plants are going gangbusters! Very nice.

[@davidsedlickas8222]

What a terrible state the Oxford canal is in ! Mr Brindley would not be best pleased. Hope you are well Phil. Many thanks for posting. Safe journey travels.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Many thanks

Hi Phil Kew Gardens Afloat, She looks good Phil, So the south Oxford cops it again if the hedgerow was cut back the tow path would have more width which would make it better. Cheers

H ow calm and restful the plants look in the boat. I feel so sorry for the farmers whose land is swamped, as well as boats, homes and businesses affected. Take care.

[@bruceshaw2402]

The interior of your boat is looking very good , it's surprising what a difference a couple of coats of paint can make .

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. I've still got much to do...

[@susanmarker2164]

Thanks for the sloshing about in the pudmuddles..I Enjoy the suspense,waiting to see if you fall in!! Lol..Your boat looks nice and cozy..youve been working hard...Got to -14°f. Last night here in Northern Idaho!! Unusually cold for here..Stay cozy you and your boys...Thanks for the wading in the pools vlog..maybe you need taller wellies?? Lol😊

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thanks, if I fell in you probably wouldn't see the video as the camera would probably be drowned! ;-)

[@sueweston502]

Wow what an eye opener! Thank you for sharing, be careful out there folks ☺

[@rbrtcrowther]

Boat looks amazing inside!!! So bright and positive….

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. It still needs cleaning, tidying, and de-cluttering...

[@rbrtcrowther]

@@NarrowboatJourneys the white walls with lush green plants really looks nice… you even look happier in the videos 🙂

Hello Phil. That was a real mess, along the tow path. Won't be long before it's completely disappeared. How are your cats? Not much they can do outside in those conditions.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

It's hard walking or cycling there at the best of times. Easier to cycle along a dangerous road if I need to go to Banbury, which is a shame because that's where the towpath goes and it could be so much better.

[@paulgoldsworthy5971]

Hello Phil the pleasure of boating hopefully the worst is behind us. boats looking well thanks for the update take care 👍👍

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thanks 👍

[@larsen8059]

Oh, my goodness! Walking along there looked quite treacherous! Hope your getting through the dark days of winter over the pond. Rural Pennsylvania is starting to get a good bit of snow. Thank you for your posts and be safe!

[@rayjaypaulsen]

Lots of overflow! Stay safe Phil

[@grahambulled7702]

Nice to see your lovely boat in side,Please be careful doing that type of walk alone

[@pilpelet100]

You were rather brave to take that walk! I would have stayed put in the lovely new-look boat!

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

"Danger" is my middle name! 😉

[@shirleylynch7529]

Bit scary Phil. Hope rain off now for a while to let water drain. Love all your plants. Cats won’t like all that water.

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

That’s scarey tbh. Stay safe. Best wishes

[@RobertSmith-zv1xo]

Moved your boat just in time. And think it is time for a plan to protect the towpaths from washing away.

[@Boating_David]

Never really thought about getting through bridges in a full canal before you mentioned it ! Getting more and more common along there in winter in recent time's it seems, stay safe

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

It's mainly canals close to rivers, and how much stuff is on the roof is where the main problems are.

[@naughtysquirrellyndatee96]

Your boat and greenery look great.. thx for taking us for a walk🩵Don’t think I’ve ever seen towpath water flowing faster than canal water.. you and the kitties stay safe💜

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you too

[@Narrowboat.and.offgrid.living]

Crt are going to have to start regularly dredging like they are ment to

[@grahamhall8249]

The part of the towpath underwater Certainly looks iffy. wonder what it looks like when it's not flooded.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

It's very dodgy to walk or cycle along that part of the towpath even in summer.

[@mikebrown6805]

Facinating incite to the issue's you and others face on the canals. Ps Are Bushka & Midge still able to get out from time to time on dryer bits of the towpath?

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

It was fine where I was moored but the field next to the towpath was flooded.

[@chrischristofis8501]

Im planning to go from lower heyford up to Cropredy marina past Aynho this coming weekend, am i going to be ok 😳

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Probably fine now. Check the stoppages on CRT website.
