Did you know I have a "Buy Me A Coffee" page buymeacoffee.com/countryhousegent Perfect for when you'd like to contribute to the channel, or simply want to buy me a coffee/pork pie/beer/lamb vindaloo (delete where applicable). Cheers,

[@bonnybank12233]

Kevin, the only man I know that can make watching paint drying interesting.

[@CountryHouseGent]

It's a gift. 😆

TRUE.

[@glennsunman9859]

There is no mood that is not uplifted by the unmistakeable reassuring gentle thud thud of Aslans engine !

[@NetDoc2k]

Your cooking videos are the best. Anyone who misses them, misses a lot. I explore a different world... under the water's surface!

[@notme123123]

I always enjoy settling in with your cooking videos. The combo of seeing everyday British food and your tiny kitchen is just wholesome and enjoyable.

[@seanmccambridge]

Yes, we miss the cooking videos underway!

[@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882]

Cooking… ? That’s the bit I scrub by…

[@abyssiniahenry128]

My day just instantly got better.👍🏼What a nice surprise.

[@johnsharman76142]

Mine also

[@ThePtb1980]

Like bumping into an old friend, an unexpected upload from CHG fills the heart 👌

[@iokarus]

My family owned Aslan back around 2013 and I still switch on this channel to listen to the engine from time to time!

[@CountryHouseGent]

Hello and that's awesome to hear. Hope the videos bring back memories of good times aboard.

[@victorfebo2672]

I have to say that I am one of those who proudly watch your cooking videos. And, I have to say that the cooking videos are one of my favorite parts of your videos.

[@elizabethhageman7822]

Can’t believe so many tune out of your cooking videos! I find them always enjoyable.

[@MERKAMGCLK]

YES ! All is right with the world. Kevin and Aslan are Back!!!!

[@Beth-l5c]

I miss this…

[@mrdfoutz]

Only 25%? I'm proud to be in that group. Over and over again!

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

Great to hear Aslan’s Chug and Kevin’s no nonsense talk!! Thank you!

[@NorthernMigrationTravel]

The cooking section of your videos is my favourite part of the channel… Keep up the great work

[@2barrell]

I enjoy your cooking/chat episodes. You show us how you make on and give us your plans. Keep 'em coming Kev.

[@alysonmcmahon823]

...if you're not happy about it, sue me' Thanks for making me roar with laughter Kevin

[@debralewis-potts7148]

Love the countryside views. So relaxing. Just ignore people questions that are personal. Back to countryside views. 😊

[@Kaizenguy]

I was going to say how relaxing it is to hear that engine, but I see from all the comments, the world knows already

[@CountryHouseGent]

Yes the biggest feedback I get from the narrowboat videos is how relaxing they are, cheers 🙂

[@legsdymond2121]

Kevin that engine is pure music ! just love it !

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thank you 🙂

[@glennheaney443]

Thank you for the update! When you said only 25% of your viewers watch your cooking videos, we were very proud that we were in that 25%. Right up to when you showed your latest cooking video and we saw that we had missed it. Not sure how, since we subscribe, but we did. Will go back and watch it now. Looking forward to your bike trip as a fellow rider in America. Take care. We always enjoy your content.

[@danandyumi]

I always watch the cooking videos!

[@tamithirion7766]

Kevin you are giving me encouragement to try to give up caffeine. Aslan is a grand girl, she deserves the love and care you give. Stay safe and Bless you 🤗

[@CountryHouseGent]

Many thanks. I can highly recommend giving it a shot. The withdrawal symptoms only last 3 to 4 days, which in the scheme of things is a small price to pay I'd say. I sleep extremely well now, have a much clearer head (think more clearly). Plus I save a fortune on takeaway lattes. If I'm out and suddenly fancy a takeaway, I get a decaf latte or flat white. Best wishes 🤗

[@richardseers]

33 minutes later and life is a whole lot better. Thanks Kevin

[@cjyoung7372]

21:31 How very therapeutic I could watch someone else work all day

[@victorfebo2672]

This has to be one of the most beautiful sceneries! As you travel through the canal, the sound of the engine, the birds, and the scenery bring me inner peace. Thank you for sharing!

[@tayevanmerlin5881]

Aslan seems to smile when she has her makeup done.

[@Acapulc941]

It is so good to see you, Kevin. I, for one, especially enjoy your cooking videos. Leigh

[@mrmoose7844]

Neglected to mention yesterday. I enjoy your cooking bits. I have actually learned from them. Kevin, I just like to spend time with real people. Since they can be difficult to find, watching your efforts is my joy!

[@mrmoose7844]

I'm so very sorry that you have to deal with idiots. I enjoy riding with you my friend! Thank you for your efforts..

[@lovepeaceandrespect8808]

Kevin my mum when she goes to bed, she puts your channel on, it helps her relax, she is a big fan. she is always telling me, I like Kevin.

[@chadlee799]

A bit of clear coat on Aslan would bring the paint back to a Shine a buffing would be good first then clear coat it would also be a layer of protection to keep the paint from any further damage your videos are great happy boating, shout out from Maine✌️

[@annh8885]

A winter's day cruise! What a pleasant surprise. Glad you are giving Aslan a tidying up. A lady does like a nice sprucing up once in a while 😊 -Cheers from Seattle!

[@judyanthony5480]

What a happy surprise! I never thought my Monday would be graced with such a fun half-hour featuring paint scraping, rust treatment and painting. 😄 Stay warm!

[@Konktus]

OK...why am I rooting out old VHS tapes of crossroads...😅 Benny❤

[@CountryHouseGent]

It's because I bidooby jobs that other people don't bidooby.

[@srbueller]

You are an inspiration, Kevin. Cheers to many years of your unique channel of adventure.

[@thecrispyfrog]

Come on people! Get all your friends and family to subscribe to this channel and let's get Kevin that nice silver plaque. 😀

[@CountryHouseGent]

Oh yes it would be grand to hang the silver play button up in Aslan's kitchen.

[@thecrispyfrog]

@@CountryHouseGent One day Kevin, one day. I was gutted to hear that you had made a trip to France and didn't call in for a brew 😭

[@christopherryan7654]

The adventures of Kevin & Aslan never get old. Cheers Kevin.

[@peterclark2374]

Thanks, Kevin. We agree with you that those who don't watch your cooking segments miss important elements of your story. Enjoy Scotland!

[@Nook747]

HA HA HA -love the way you answer all the questions, Yes, and No answers Kevin !! Good job ....Short and sweet, and to the point !

[@ivantsanov3650]

Outstanding

[@scottalpervitz1019]

25% on your cooking videos? Balderdash! You go right on with the cooking classes.

[@christineweaver3987]

I can't wait for Shetland!

[@fredg5390]

Enjoy your cooking videos very much!

[@RoadTripsWithYogi1968]

Kevin, you and Aslan have helped me so much. I suffer from anxiety and watching your episodes are a welcome relief from all the craziness. After Season 10 I went back and watched all 10 seasons again, finishing up last night! What a welcome surprise!! I watch the cooking episodes as well, to see what foods I'm missing here in the States. Thanks again, and remember...Safety is for Muppets!😁

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

I appreciate how you handle the coulda, shoulda, woulda comments on your channel. You are a far better man than I my friend. Enjoy that ride. Thanks for taking us along.

[@gazza7064]

She’s had a hard winter and deserves a freshen up ❤

[@CountryHouseGent]

There was definitely more battle scars than after most winters.

[@jaynesparks9977]

Looking forward to your Scottish Island tours Kevin. I've toured Bute, Kintyre and Skye on a bike but Harris and Lewis remain on my wanted list for now. Is it a BMW 1100 GS you'll be riding? Great bikes... Really looking forward to your Island adventures albeit just a little jealous. I totally agree with your comment on Neil Peart, sad loss. Looking forward to your next posting. Jayne

[@CountryHouseGent]

Hi Jayne. The bike is a 2008 BMW R1200GS Adventure.

[@MimiS-u6k]

the cook in the kitchen videos are my favorite!

[@deskullz7409]

As always, it's just great to hear Aslan chugging along. Oh, and you, as well! 🙂

[@Elizabeth-tb5oh]

Nice surprise video!! You take good care of Aslan. She looks great. For a minute there I thought Aslan was being honked at by a car! Lol Horses were funny. They were watching you pretty closely. Take good care!

[@bryanSpencer-lv3uk]

Great to see you back and survived the winter .I've missed your happy smiling face. Enjoy Scotland and see you later this year.

[@annmacy9038]

I enjoy all your narrow boat adventures!! Keep on keepin on!😊

[@telmore6490]

People the best way to learn about Kevin is his cooking videos and the pearls of wisdom he imparts. My enjoys seeing Kevin use healthy ingredients and keeps telling me "You to eat more like Kevin"

[@johnsharman76142]

Yes iv'e watched a few.

[@brianpreval5602]

I enjoy your cooking videos!

[@scottm.4717]

Kevin. I just completed watching all 10 seasons of your adventures, and it has been well worth it. I have really enjoyed all 10 seasons and I can't wait for more. The cooking segments have been wonderful. I would love to take to the canals, but i can't retire yet, and, living in New York state, the winters are harsh, and there are only 500 plus miles of canals. I was wondering if Aslan could be painted with truck bed liner. I wonder if at least her gunells and the diamond plate at her bow and stern and maybe the length of her top would benefit from it. Thank you for the wonderful adventures, all the sights, all the towns and everything. Very excellent, very well done. PS Aslan is a beautiful boat.

[@grh6439]

Sitting down for half an hour watching somebody else work has been great. As a fellow biker I look forward to your adventure on two wheels (fingers crossed for weather and midges).

[@01mia18]

Nice to have you back. We have an early spring here. Trees are already budding. Iowa, USA

[@celiaty5814]

AGAIN...Hi from Arkansas, US. John and I really ENJOY your cooking videos. I am 71 years old, and you, young man, have taught me a few kitchen/cooking tips that we use often. Am also still enjoying my BIALETTI Moka Pot 👍👍 We have watched you from the beginning, and we look forward to each of your videos!!👋✌️☺️

[@sandragrissom1821]

Splodging can be so satisfying…..especially when you’re all finished. 😅

[@professor1972]

As one of the 25%, I can tell you that the wife and I loved the paprika chicken and look forward to your next recipe. Also, as a biker and an Albaphile, I am really looking forward to the island tour. Cheers

[@baghm1]

I also love the cooking in the episodes! Sometimes I wonder how you're going to eat all that, and sometimes I wonder WHY you'd eat that, but then, I'm American. Please forgive me.

[@joannareeves6522]

I'll join the chorus and say that it's wonderful to get the surprise of another CHG vid!

[@CountryHouseGent]

You're very welcome Joanna. Thank you

[@infinitejusticeone]

I love the cooking portion of your videos! I have made several of your recipes and they came out great!!! Those that did not watch have really missed out on a lot!

[@GraphicsGuru37]

I love your cooking videos. Can’t wait to watch your motorcycle road trip to Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 😊

[@SailingSwallowtail]

Watched the cooking video and learned that a desert spoon is not the same as a tablespoon. Thanks.

[@susanwitcher8865]

I had the same diagnosis on my arm. The doctor told me there was no treatment and it might or might not go away. After several years of growing, it finally just disappeared. It didn’t bother me at all. Don’t you just love how people can diagnose you so easily?

[@CountryHouseGent]

Great to hear that Susan. I've been told the same since they appeared. That was 5 years ago - still there. In a last ditch attempt, I've packed in caffeine and gluten as I've read many have had success with it. Can take up to 4 months for any change to become noticeable though. Ah well, at least I get to sleep fully at night. :)

[@OldNickHindle]

Thanks Kevin, great to see you back on the cut 😊 Maybe you should tell folks you've got "Tillerman's Hand", as you and your hands are out navigating all year round in all weathers 😎

[@Mainstayjay]

I'm late to watching this video, but it was nice to see Aslan getting a paint refresh. I'm looking forward to seeing your motorbike travels, I am fond of camping myself. I have a hot tent setup that I have been getting familiar with this month. My family and I are going to be camping in a rural area that will be directly in the path of the upcoming solar eclipse, happening April 8. I have a hot water tank attachment for my small wood stove and a baking oven that attaches to the chimney pipe so we can have coffee and bake biscuits or cookies. We are really looking forward to that trip! It was great to catch another of your videos, as always! Best wishes for the year ahead!

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thank you very much for that, Jay. The camping trip sounds incredible. Home baking and a stove, no wonder you can't wait. Hope you get a good show with the eclipse.

[@marymorbid1650]

I love your cooking videos Kevin! Please keep doing them.

[@Adimondinthesky]

Firstly, I’m thrilled about your motorbike 🏍️ videos ! Since you sold the beloved Harley and brought the touring bike I’ve waited for you to do your thing!! And you’ll be traveling places I’ve never seen! Secondly, your humor, honesty, and wisdom are very much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your experiences!!! And I love seeing you on different days!!!

[@Whitty-zs5yl]

Really looking forward to your motorcycle vlogs in Scotland. I’d love to go to Scotland again and this way I can enjoy the beautiful scenery. I do always fall asleep watching your posts so often have to watch them properly the next day. Love the cooking. I also had one of those granulas on my hand which I thought was ringworm and got all the comments! Disappeared by itself after a couple of years. 😊

[@davemoore6690]

Kevin, Please keep up the excellent content! You and Aslan are stars. As to the medical issue you discussed, how disparaging people can be. I encourage you to ignore them fully. Or, tell them it's stigmata. That'll run across the internet...

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thank you for that Dave. I had thought of spreading a rumour of Bubonic Plague, but decided against it.

Thanks for the surprise video. I went to Harris forty years ago. I remember beautiful white sandy, deserted beaches, the bluest of seas and a bucket of amazing locally smoked kippers in a village shop. If you sit near a beach long enough the seals and otters will start to appear. Have a lovely trip, can’t wait for the videos.

I’m gonna stop and make comments as I watch because I’ll forget what I want to comment about by the time I get to the end. Watching this first bit on my morning break at work. I love the freight train going over the bridge in front of Aslan as y’all approached! I absolutely adore watching trains go by, in person and or on video. I like to ride behind steam locomotive over here in Portland when I get the chance at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center. It’s here in Portland! Thanks for the video, Kevin.
