Life on a cafe boat: A narrowboat vlog

[@rosemarybierbaum4627]

Quite possibly the most beautiful, happiest baby ever!!! And by the way, I credit his parents for all of it! He glows with the love you pour in to him!

[@Lynette21122431]

Stole dad’s joke! I was laughing so hard, and then I laughed even more when you revealed that! And I was standing up in front of the television set when William sneezed and then there was some laughter, I believe. So I stood here in my sons’ living room where I am with my granddogs, laughing along with your little boy! Joy, blessings, all across the globe. Actually, the earth. Thank you so much!

[@iansummerell]

I not expect you'll see this but I have to say a few words. Last year I end up in Hospital after having covid and a small heart attack. Which I did know I'd had. 6 weeks in hospital let me have time to watch video on KZbin. I found you build Holly. I'm still watching you today. Love the video and thank upu fir helping me get through having my pacemaker fitted. Keep up the good work. Ian the gun.

[@jonny7491]

Speedy recovery.🇬🇧🇦🇺

[@exartemarte]

I won't have been the only one who literally drooled when you sliced into that cake.

[@FlyFree2023]

Every week I watch you three and it's a joy, then tonight's episode - though I can't explain it, but it's like we are all onboard with you. Editing is superb and content of Jo's baking equals mainstream media "Mary Berry" in a positive way without the commercialism. Hope you understand what I mean!

[@danensis]

I met Victor, Joanna and William in Real Life today, and they are just as nice as they appear on the videos. I can thoroughly recommend Joanna's cream and blueberry cake - light as a feather, and really creamy. Vic's coffee was OK as well :-)

[@davidlasoff8261]

Jo, you just take the cake and girl, you can really bake! This compliment ain't fake! 😊 Go Holly crew! ❤️ Yeah Vic, more outtakes! 😂

[@hilarysheppard3834]

ten out of ten for the way you are both handling parenthood and the cafe you are doing an amazing job, wished i lived near i would try a coffee and some of that cake, love williams smile, so cute

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

Relaxing to watch. My mouth literally watered at that cake. Sweet boy 🇨🇦

[@alisterbrooks4150]

William always brings a smile to my face a really happy baby.

[@carolinefiler5506]

Wow that cake looked gorgeous. Always enjoy a coffee and a cake in the afternoon, we’ll when I’m on holiday it’s a treat. Jo you and Vic are so relaxed with William he such a lovely little boy hats off to you both. Take care.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

How fast William is growing...it won't be long before he is taking over the boat. LOL. His big smile when he woke up was just so heartwarming. Thanks for sharing these special times with us. Have a profitable day.

[@nick.caffrey]

Mascarpone + zabaglione + turkish music. Way to go! Your videos come across as so warm and kind. No wonder William has a permanent (well, for us, anyway) smile on his face. That cake looks like something I might murder for!

[@crystaledelmann]

This might be my most favorite episode ever! "Joanna's Tiramisu Cake" now has a permanent place in my recipe file! William is just totally precious and the canal footage is beautiful; I could watch that stuff for hours!

[@philabraham658]

Had me chuckling at Vics ‘foodgasm’ as he dug into the tiramisu cake 🤣😂🤣😂

[@nevillemignot1681]

Hi from down under where i just woke up, and watch this while i have a cuppa, the weather is not great here and it is overcast and grey, that matches my mood........But after watching you vid i find my whole mood is changed and now i quite look forward to the day with optimism, thanks to you 2 guys and baby William.......................................Thanks and cheers guys!!

[@ducthman4737]

I searched for Long Eaton on Google Earth. Amazing how many canals and narrowboats there are just in that place. Maybe you can paint Holly on the roof so we can do a 'Find Holly' competition.

[@tommcguire5525]

Brilliant just brilliant. You are a great looking family and Jo., please don't waver from your Northern accent. Combined with your natural beauty, you have the perfect formula ........ hence you got Vic. .......and ended up with Billy.

[@fp30e]

A beautiful Vlog with 3 Beautiful people, and I love your quirky opening and closing segments. A joy to watch. Have a great week. All the best.

[@lynnmargetts1251]

Jo, a book with all your delicious cake recipes would be great. The Tiramisu cake looks amazing!

[@grahamwilliams8926]

Doesnt matter where you go,those cooling towers are in the background! Must be the editing 🤣 Have been watching you for ages and am just amazed at what a great life you are having. Yes there are the down sides but you are obviously in tune with each other and now you have lovely William. All the very best to you.

[@beckyrobinson5672]

I'm so glad to see youns today. That cake looks great. I wish I was there for a slice. Oh how william makes me smile. I love you kids . I no youns aren't kids but I'm 68 year old. Thanks for video. I bet your parents are proud of youns. Until next time. Rebecca

[@ralphwood5875]

Jo you just have to make a cook book, every time I watch you baking I salivate and have to go find something sweet in the kitchen to satiate my sweet tooth. Last night I was talking to Heidi the Narrowboat Pirate and she loves and follows your vlogs, she loves you too. Good luck with Holly ,lots of business and a great summer. By summer's end William will be a toddler and I'm sure a handful for you both but knowing you and Vic I'm sure you'll cope . Cheers from Canada in a heat wave ...at last it was a long winter.

[@onefunnyoldman]

Lovely to watch you going about your day. Your cake portion is BIG! Or at least it looks big on the camera. Your customers are in for a treat. William is growing up so fast, he is lovely, i'm sure he gets it from hi parents. Best wishes

[@adriancoppin977]

You have been blessed with a beautiful baby. Many congratulations. 👌👍

[@kellyheppleston7157]

What an absolutely joyous video, in every respect. If the instructions to anything are in Italian...1st...a glass of Moscato then a slice of the tiramisu cake...maybe another glass of Moscato and it will or come clear...or not. If it doesn't work after that...look at Captain William and you are sure to smile any way.

[@martinbguk]

We used to use a papoose for our daughter. It was fantastic. Later on, when she was bigger, if we were out at a restaurant and she was tired she would then easily sleep on my lap/chest. It's great bonding like that.

[@kimsmith6974]

I keep playing 7:56 over and over ! So adorable !!

[@christineprice5463]

Gosh, William is growing up so fast!!!

[@sianwarwick633]

Oh my gosh - you are giving away those lovely cakes. The moment when little William says his quiet little word, so sweet . Best to you in the New year

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

What a great Vlog. Your intros get better all the time. And the ending was great too. Gorgeous cake! William is sitting up! 16:41 of me smiling and relaxing 😌 loved it! Have a great week and thank you for sharing. 😊

[@greghilton7797]

The look on Vic's face when he tried that cake spoke volumes. Who needs Bake Off. Thanks for a great vid. 16 minutes goes like 2. Cheers to yaz

[@bluedeva]

Jo, you are going to be in your baking element with the jubilee coming up! I wonder if the canal community will do your very own version of a street party? I swear I was drooling seeing you both try out the cake 🧁 it looked so good I can imagine that is was long gone in a couple of hours 🤗 OMG! You said Mardy! 💪🏻 haven’t heard that in absolute ages and trying to describe it to people that don’t know just ruins the moment 🤣👌🏻

[@rickc5303]

Stop the presses!! HEY!!,...you in the canoe!! Step away from the cake and no one gets hurt!! I'll take the whole cake at any price you set!! It looks A-MAZING!!

[@paultaylor9652]

That cake was to die for, if Jo was my wife I would be far bigger than I am, I simple couldn't say no to the cake, don't know how you do it Vic. As always great to see the family enjoying life.

[@maxsoleil2228]

Das Muttersein steht dir sehr gut. Du strahlst richtig und scheinst total entspannt und zufrieden zu sein. Ich finde es wunderschön an zu sehen. Alles Gute euch drei!

[@firsttankcrews]

Such wonderful looking cake - drooling at the thought of tasting it. Thanks once again for sharing your lives with us. William looks very strong in his seated position. Hope you've had a great week and that the weekend goes extremely well. Much love from Anna Valley

[@jamesfoley6555]

Thank you all, William is such a happy baby🙏

[@fredsmith6725]

Beautiful, honest and hard working families do not need to worry about mirrors. 😀

[@sandyprosser805]

That was a good vlog. Your a lovely cake maker. Why do you doubt yourself!!!! It looked good enough to eat. William is growing into a lovely looking lad. He’s very well behaved on vlogs. Have great week.

[@seanjamescameron]

Am starting to like this new traditional of having tea and cake on a Friday evening. ;-) Here is an idea for you - recipe book showing regional cakes you collect as you float around the UK.

[@annemalin6849]

I love how you say butter cream. Makes it sound even tastier.

[@missinglink7709]

Brilliant as always, 3rd most beautiful couple on the cut... #1 Well Deck Diaries #2 Floating our Boat #3 Holly - The Cafe Boat...

[@rosemarychapman9180]

So great to see you on Tuesday Jo and William he is so adorable. Hope the toe stub was nothing serious. Great looking cake still think a cook book would be great maybe a project for next winter. Happy cruising over the summer good luck with NB Holly and the cafe looking forward to hearing more of where you hope to be. Your truly a wonderful family 🥰

[@kimkaitell2273]

Yes a cookbook! My thoughts too!

[@suewalker8454]

[@karenbillington8694]

You are both such a lovely couple and William is sooooo lucky to have you as his parents xx just precious and just loving life x

[@iainbrooks6558]

Lovely to see Sawley Cut again and my first lockdown home. I've been following you from day one and will be heading back there on the T&M from Stone over the next 6-weeks or so. I look forward to catching up with you for my first double expresso...no pressure, then. 🧐

[@sas1uk185]

Used to run a Guesthouse. Welcomed guests with Lemon Drizzle and a brew. Used to batch bake drizzle cakes x 6 and freeze. They were fabulous defrosted. Steph x

[@russianthistleweed4045]

I made it 6 minutes in, and decided that I wanted to fly there from Washington, DC and steal that cake, OK, buy it and get a cup of coffee and sit and eat the whole thing!!! Well, maybe, share a but of it, but not too much.

[@terryansell6641]

What a great idea we live in our Motorhome full time in New Zealand and we like your life style,.

[@annajeram9251]

That cake looked absolutely delicious 😋

[@marieseaward9891]

It looks like it's William snapping his cap on at 14:27! :)

Brilliant it's great to see what your upto. Brilliant videos and I can't wait to see the next video

You can extend the life of rubber hoses by wiping them with silicone grease.. stops em drying out and hardening..

[@ColinWetherelt]

Appearing from off in the mist - I see - - - a COOKBOOK coming this way!!

[@luwdmke]

I think you guy's are living a charmed life. :-)

[@juelkimo]

this vlog is everything to love! From a fabulous cake to boat repair to William in his jaunty hat. What a treat to watch, okay I'll admit I've watched it twice! I enjoy all your offerings but this one was just so lovely beginning to end. Here's to 2 creative young folks and their beautiful son! Keep'em comin'. Thanks so much!

[@williamburgess4732]

That was great, not just cake.

[@anniemac3075]

That cake looked amazing. Thank you for the video it's lovely to see your little family so happy. Your keys hanging in the open hatch door outside over the canal were a bit worrying though, if that was me they'd find a way to fling themselves out of the lock into the water never to be seen again.

[@meruliouslacrimens5154]

I think you'll find the grinder is first cousin once removed to the common waste disposal some people have fitted down their sinks. My brother-in-law proudly told me once that he had put all the grape pips down our waste disposal unit, at which i explained we don't have one. I had to completely dis-assemble the waste pipe under the sink to unblock our drain.

[@iamatwinnie]

Hi guys....its my first comment...ive been following you for a while....been hard times,,,you certainly made me (and probs loads of others) feel brighter. Thanknkyou much love fro the great north east.....(canny good like ) xx

[@dragnfli520]

That cake looked delish‼️💥

[@jillipepper5353]

OMG the Tiramisu 🤤……WANT! I love it but no one in the house or family likes it but me so I never get to have it except some store bought rendition that never really meets expectation but that cake looked divine and I bet it tasted it as well. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Good luck with opening , really happy the frozen cake worked for you, that will be a time saver. Stay safe and well🙋🏼‍♀️

[@izlandsisterztv8792]

Recently had my first experience of being on a canal boat and I fell in love with canal life. I love this idea of a canal cafe. I will be back again in the summer

[@slimi1969]

Loving the outtakes :)

[@pamela5568]

i envy your life. Some work, some play, some rest. William is handsome and happy. If I lived in the UK I'd love to stop by your cafe, but alas I'm far away. Good luck with the cafe this year

[@BohemianBeatster]

Tiramisu is one of my most favorite cakes, and yours just looks perfect. STAY GROOVY AND STAY SAFE.

[@FireStormintheTARDIS]

You totally made me drool over that cake! I was already cooing over William the Adorable! Great vlog again!!

[@jamesfoley6555]

Thank you

Just love your stuff......and William is a sweetheart.

[@bigcmoore]

Beautiful as always.

[@suzannewch7202]

Wonderful vlog, like always! Loved Williams happy smiles and giggles…..and that cake looked delicious! Thanks for sharing!

[@thecoleface]

Inspirational stuff, we love seeing seeing behind the scenes of other businesses. Hopefully we can sample your cakes at some point!

[@pilgo48]

Hi Both ( and William and the support crew, today). Great to meet you both today, before you embark on the next leg of the Grand Tour - we were the two from Ashby de la Zouch. Cakes were ace and the coffees spot on rich! All the best with your future travels together.

Another wonderful vlog

[@MrRobindog]

Wow, send me some Tiramisu please, my all time favourite. Poor William. The expression on his face which says "where's my portion please" when ever there is cake obout. I'm sure he's going to be eating the profits. ;-))

[@barbarataylor1535]

I love your videos. I actually laughed at "everything is edible" and the outtakes. Cheers

[@gloriawaters1455]

Wow Jo that cake looks delicious you are so creative well,done you 😍 😋 😀

[@gregzeszotarski9927]

That cake looked magnificent and I'm sure it tasted even better.

[@richardwhite2736]

That's a monster cake, yum!

[@nv7136]

Hey there, a tip from a patissier. There are rings of plastic where you can finish the cakes in. Then put them in the fridge and if solid remove the ring. And use it for another. Then the cakes will be nice and straight and even in hight.

[@bryanstevenson2275]

you could have some fold up small table and chairs, which you could have just beside the boat so customers could sit and eat their coffee and cake you would probally only need 2 tables and four chairs just an idea

[@julieanneroberts4752]

New subscriber here 👋 Tiramisu is my fave dessert and that cake looked divine 😋 William is sooo adorable. Love your channel 🛶🍰☕️

MMMM mess with the traditional all you like Jo you have ideas and skill that delight visually and satisfy the taste buds judging by the taste tests.
