Aw bless the grandson, indulging his gran’s stories. He seemed very interested in her tales too. Such a heartwarming scene. ❤️

I've enjoy the places they've gone to I feel like I'm right with there with them they're answering my questions I'm a wanderer too so it it's wonderful to know somebody else's too in my prayers

[@teaandbicycles]

Thank you for posting these. It's so nice to see an older couple savoring life.

[@undrcoverlouky]

After so long together, it's inspiring to see they are still very much in love.

Absolutely love Pru and Timothy. I am not sure how many watchers caught the tongue in cheeks " forbiden game " theme with Pru's confession...she was in love with a french woman... J'adore....

[@FigaroHey]

Nonsense. She says multiple times that it was a French MAN and she almost married a French MAN. You have to be seriously deluded to take her actual words and twist them to mean precisely the opposite of what she's actually saying. In her own words in an interview, she names the man and why she didn't marry him. Surely there are enough people who know her well and knew her at that time who could challenge her story if it was not true. But of course, a 'certain kind' of person who lives in a natural state of denial of nature is going to twist things and pervert someone's words to say something they want to hear. In Prunella Scales's own words: My mother’s au pair was from Rennes, in Brittany, and my first experience was being a bridesmaid at a regional wedding there. Then, long before I met Tim, I had a French boyfriend, Bernard, who lived in Paris and whom I very nearly married. When he moved to Japan we lost contact. About ten years later I met Tim and we’ve been married ever since. Would you have liked to live to France? Bernard was a lovely man but marrying him would have meant five years in Japan and the rest of my life in Paris. I realised I couldn’t marry a Frenchman because of the sort of resources you need as an actress. I grew up all over England; North Devon, London, Yorkshire, and to be able to take on those dialects is important for an actor. If I had become a French actor I would have been constantly battling with the language, however good my accent was.

Very inspiring and beautiful. Thank you and "long life".

[@appmagician3240]

This is the best TV series I've seen so far

[@lindahernandez9938]

I love to watch the couple and their canal travels. I am learning a lot about the history of the canals.

[@carolleenkelmann3829]

Well, you're going to fast, you silly old "bugger!" Half the speed is enough! And halved again AT NIGHT! Gor' blimey. Another Redskin ......... Absolutely love your videos. ALL of what's available to me. The Ranch Waterways ....Very, very exactly what I would like to do. Bravi, and thankyou. A prolonged "Good Health " and "Good Wealth" to you both. Adé.

Geeze-Louise....thank goodness for Renters' Insurance the way he keeps crashing into things! 😁😄😅🤣😂🙃😉

[@dfuller968]

Really enjoy these vids!!! I would love to do a trip on the Champlain Canal and Erie Canal but I don't think it would be as appealing as the canals in Europe. Plus a boat thats 100 feet long and 10 feet wide would be an experience of a lifetime learning how to control.

[@Rovinman]

The canals in England were designed for working Narrow boats 72 ft (max) long, and 6ft 10 1/2 in Long. Canal Locks are 7ft wide for a Narrow lock and 14ft wide for a double lock. Some locks are shorter than this, so the Maximum length of boat you can successfully navigate 99.9% of canals is 57ft long, (60ft if you squeeze in diagonally into a double width lock). The Canal and River Trust (CRT), do run 1 and 2 day, Helmsmanship courses for you, before you ''dive headlong into boating on the canals''. Well worth it !

[@evilrobottolhurst]

A great episode. Thanks for uploading it. I had no idea the canal was not a British, or Dutch, invention!

[@sirroberttaylor9969]

So much knowledge

[@frankharrison3162]

Did you only have access to these few episodes? It would have been nice to see them in order.

THANK YOU...

Where did Tim get that cap..."P.S.Waverley"?

[@DuckDonald44]

You didnt tell the whole and correct story regarding the attack in the church regarding the islamic invaders and either you are aware of it, or you’ve been told what to say like most hollow actors these days. Disgusting account of such an important event. Shouldn’t really surprise me given you two are career actors, but regardless I will be unsubscribing from here. God speed.

[@lucgruffaz7750]

I am not sure what you are talking about , Islamic invaders? Cathare were local people turning to catharism wich was a mix of philosophical middle eastern believers with a hint of christianity, rejecting Catholicism wich brought disgusting repression from the " loving, " clergy " actually massacred. Vive les religions , aimer votre prochain!!!!

@@lucgruffaz7750 Merde!

[@charcat1571]

@@lucgruffaz7750 "Donald Duck" is likely yet another regrettable Trump supporting American that paranoidedly squeals about Islamic invasion while espousing their own fascist beliefs. About as "Christian" in his ethics as the Pope who ordered The Cathars slaughtered. What's the quote? There's no hate quite like Christian love.
