Narrowboat | Christmas in York | Vlog 133

#narrowboat #vlogs #christmas #york
Did we take our narrowboat to York???
We explore this medieval city as we undertake a whistle-stop tour of the Christmas Markets; find out about it's chocolate past and uncover a street that inspired a wizard! (possibly!)

What a beautiful and historic city York is! Thank you for showing us around; I especially loved The Shambles Market! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and that your 2024 is filled with great joy and great travels!

[@MakingNewMemories]

Thanks Chris. The whole of the Shambles is very unique, lots of quirky shops. Even window shopping is fascinating, they take a lot of care to make it feel special 👍

[@pilpelet100]

Thanks for the trip round York. Have a lovely Xmas and all the best for 2024.

[@MakingNewMemories]

Thanks, hope you had a lovely time. Here's to 2024! 🍻

[@MakingNewMemories]

Thank you Lorraine and a belated Happy New Year to you too! ❤️❤️

[@user-xw6wj2qh5n]

Wonderful blog - not just because it is in York, a city I know well and miss, but the skillful editing of your Diagon Alley/Shambles was very professional. We'd both like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the two of us out here in Kuala Lumpur, Tim & Jalika. We will be watching out for your first Vlog of 2024. (Yes, bell is well and truly 'dinged'.)

[@MakingNewMemories]

Thank you Tim and Jalika and happy new year to you both! 👍❤️ Glad you enjoyed our visit to York and yes, the first vlog of the year is now available to watch! 🔔

[@user-xw6wj2qh5n]

@@MakingNewMemories We have just watched your latest vlog - just before seeing this message. We are subscribed and dinged the heck out of the bell to ensure we get notifications, and even then I actively check so we don't miss any of your vlogs. (In fact I commented on your latest vlog - about the copyright date. You have put MMXXVI instead of MMXXIV. Future proofing?)

[@janetrobson9469]

What a fab video.. Me and Alan went to York a couple of weeks ago.. But your video showed it off much better... All that yummy food and chocolate I now need chocolate.. Enjoy a break you two.. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@MakingNewMemories]

Hey you two, how's Goole? I think 'Constance 2' is now moored there. Give them our love if you see them. We had a peaceful Christmas with daughter hence why I've not been very active on here 🙃 But vlogs have started again and we're actually moving...😉 Love to you both ❤️❤️

[@janetrobson9469]

@@MakingNewMemories.. All good at Goole yes Constance 2 is moored across from us will be sure to say hi from you... Glad you had a break and a peacefull Christmas.. Ours were a bummer son and daughter in law had Covid.. I had a bad fall still getting over it.. And no hadn't been in the wine 😂.. Happy New Year to you both... Looking forwards to more videos happy cruising x

[@catherineatkins7908]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both 🎄🎊🇨🇦

[@MakingNewMemories]

Hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New year to you too! ❤️

[@madcapjourneys9014]

Hi Tony and jan lovely video, I was a bit confused while you wouldn't take your boat on the river ouse it a lovely river up to ripon Yorkshire has some of the best canal and river on the network please don't be scared to try the rivers in Yorkshire ie ripon pollockton canal it beautiful kind regards

[@MakingNewMemories]

Our plan was indeed to stay in York over Christmas, mooring was booked, but the Ouse was in flood when we got to Selby (you'll see it in a future vlog) and both locks - Selby and Naburn were closed.

[@madcapjourneys9014]

@MakingNewMemories could of went to ripon you can do it a day from York it beautiful there been there three times we were order of the ouse when it was in flood the last time

[@arthurclarke905]

Thanks for the York tour and all your vlogs throughout the year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you both I wonder if somewhere in South Dakota there is a troupe of "Ecky Thump" Yorkshire Clog Dancers working the streets.

[@MakingNewMemories]

😂 You never know Arthur!! Thank you for watching throughout 2023 and hope you stick around during 2024 - lots of new locations, new waterways (to us) and lots of places to visit.

[@idcoxall]

That wasn't a bandana, it was an elasticated waistband for Tony, very elasticated.....!

[@MakingNewMemories]

I think two together still wouldn't have fitted! 😉 Diet starts tomorrow....honest 🙃

[@BoatTime]

love york! can’t wait to visit, glad you were able to train it in for the festivities ☺️ merry christmas 🎄

[@MakingNewMemories]

Thanks guys! Apologies for the length of time it's taken to reply. Have mostly kept things switched off over Christmas. York should be on your list, as I'm sure it is, just don't cruise there in winter because it floods. You should be able to get all the way to Ripon in GG, but keep an eye on the Ouse from Selby it has quite the flow! ❤️❤️

[@markrutter5996]

Went to York in November and never get bored with it . . . it’s an amazing place to visit. Thank you so much Tony and Jan for all you do to entertain us. Absolutely love the channel and sharing your adventures with you. Looking forward to seeing you in the new year. Have a lovely Christmas!!.

[@MakingNewMemories]

Thank you Mark. Our first time in York and will definitely try and return sometime. 👍 Here's to a lovely 2024!

[@krazykat4349]

Merry Christmas friends....happy new year....my love to the both of you

[@MakingNewMemories]

Cheers KrazyKat!! ❤️❤️

[@BearsAboard]

As always we loved this vlog. I did laugh when Jan just happened to over fill the mulled Wine tea tester lol. Love you both and wish you a very Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year. 🌲🎅🏻🤶🎄🧸🧸❤️

[@MakingNewMemories]

Ha! Butter fingers Jan! Was lovely to see you and Wes and Amy over Christmas. Safe cruising Bears and looking forward to seeing you soon...wherever it may be! 👍❤️❤️

[@chrisspreyer1216]

[@MakingNewMemories]

Thank you Mrs S - Jan gave me a thick ear for taking so long to reply to you! Consider me suitably chastised 😂 Love to you, Steve and Smudgikins xxxx

[@jacquelinegonzalez3285]

OMG, didn't know crackling was a thing in the UK, we love it in Puerto Rico, roast pork being the traditional meat for Christmas. Love crackin! Now I'm hungry, thanks!

[@MakingNewMemories]

Oh yes Jacqueline crackling is definitely a 'thing' Would have loved to have tried some from the shop we looked at but the queues!! Happy 2024! ❤️

[@jillosler9353]

What a lovely vlog! I'm watching at 4.30am on Christmas Eve whilst still snuggled up in bed - practicing for early start tomorrow!! I often wonder what your overseas followers think of British shops, markets and buskers etc? Have a wonderful Christmas; already looking forward to seeing the next vlog! Take care and stay safe. ❤

[@MakingNewMemories]

Hi Jill thank you for commenting and apologies for the late reply! Have a read through some of the comments from our marvellous viewers, many of who live in far flung corners of the World who are always amazed by the wonderful scenery and history we feature as we travel around. If only we could arrange some exchange visits...😉

[@lynettecoates4272]

Wishing you both a very relaxing warm Xmas and may 2024 be a healthy calmer boating year for you with no lock dilemmas like this year!! Thanks for continuing to make vlogs for us all to enjoy, keep them coming. Lynette xx

[@MakingNewMemories]

Thank you so much Lynn and grateful for your support. Here's to a wonderful 2024 (with no 'big' dramas!!) 👍😁

[@andrewnewport8528]

What a lovely York blog from you two. I thought the way we 'slid' the Harry Potter scene into your own blog was very clever. Happy New Year to both of you. Keep up the good work. Andy &Diane

[@MakingNewMemories]

Hi Andy and Diane - happy 2024!Thank you for the lovely comments ❤️ Yes the HP clip was a challenge but think it worked, but of course York is such a beautiful city.

[@lizpegden1635]

York is on our "bucket list", we are going to Whitby in the Summer (and definitely going to York this time been several times but sadly I think this will be our last visit as we are now mid 70s although fit and healthy) .We haven't yet made it to York and there is just soooo much to see and do. I would love to go at Christmas , but then again I would spend a fortune on the nik naks. I love your snowman Jan - he's gorgeous. Looks amazing Happy New Year to you both

[@MakingNewMemories]

Thankfully most of central York is an easy walk and you can see everything without having to go too far. I mean, if I can do it anyone can Liz 😁 PS don't forget you've got to eat fish and chips in Whitby, it's compulsory!! Have a lovely 2024 ❤️❤️

[@gabrielecox365]

Thank you for sharing your adventures ❤ I always look forward to the next vlog. I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and a Happy New Year 🎉.
