[@marvindebot3264]

Great idea! When I get my resin art up and running I'll join.

[@hazelwest.craftingbythepier]

Watching on replay. Just want to say lockdown isn’t any different to me, except I can get a seat on the bus easier! I work nights in a care home (keyworker). I should be at home as I’m 73 but the elderly dementia patients need me. What can I say lol it’s rare I get to see you live but hope to join the painting classes. Keep up the good work you two.

[@itzel1735]

Thanks for your dedication. Stay well. ❤️

[@LaProfaC]

Your compassion and empathy for others experiencing the U.K. lockdown is lovely. I also appreciate it from here in the U.S. due to our difficult election cycle.

[@sarahfoster3624]

Totally too late to the party, but I wanted you know that I bought two fans after you recommended them on your Too Hot boat vlog, and they are my BEST BUY of the year! They are awesome! They have travelled with me on planes and on boats and by my armchair. In fact they do not leave this rather menopausal woman’s side since she got them! Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

[@cathymckay3784]

Hi Annamarie and Kat, love it when you make tea. I was thinking about what you were saying about lockdown and how to keep your sanity...I usually do crafts, sing or go on you tube live showing my crafts, I love to podge on the back of plastic plates or glass plates..You have a lovely boat and your two fur babies... Love the footage of the scenery!!!

[@WalkerShaw]

I'm here in San Diego CA, one of your 35K subscribers, so enjoy each video. Thanks for sharing and all the work you do to make it happen. I''m doing some watercolor this morning and really appreciate your work Ann Marie. The happiness you two offer is such a comfort in these challenging times. I would join your at the 10:30 GMT art workshop but that is 2:30 am here. Is it available later for me to watch? Lastly, continue to be safe during lockdown.

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

Yes, it will stay on the Facebook page even when it isn't live. I think I will change the times one some of the weeks so I can meet more of the international creators.

[@klayofthemystics]

Connecticut U.S.A. watching a replay, dark roast coffee, lots of it, continuously, Have not had lock down at all this year, auto repair (essential worker), best part was an entire interstate highway, three lanes, 90mph, no other cars. But, that said, rather tired of on again off again restrictions. Always love you two. (four)

[@sandybeachball3]

Hello Annamarie & Kath, I’m here watching the replay from Toronto, Canada. I really enjoyed this. And what a lovely idea, and so very much appreciated. I first discovered your vlogs at the start of the worldwide lockdowns in March. You two are truly a delight to virtually ‘hang out’ with throughout these past 7-8 months. I’ve actually gone back and watch all your vlogs from the beginning. If it is possible, please do a few more live blogs when time permits. I will do my best to join you live, or if not I will most definitely watch the replay. Thank you for your empathy & compassion in reaching out to all of your viewers. I for one truly appreciate it. 😊 Stay safe, and be well. 😷🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@bryan3550]

Lemongrass & Ginger for me! We've just come out of lockdown here in Melbourne, Oz, after about 100 days... 8 days straight of zero new infections or deaths! Whew!

[@chrissiecarr5721]

bryan3550 ...SO GOOD TO BE FREE AGAIN💃🏻🥳... But, we are still wearing the fashion accessory 😷Stay Safe Everybody 🇦🇺🙋🏻‍♀️🕊

[@paulinehiggins8239]

Congratulations Melbourne you did a great job, but I’m a bit dirty on Dan I feel he just made it so hard, I reckon Melbourne has had the toughest lockdown in the world. Thanks guys you did the hard yards to make it easier for us rural Victorians, you’re amazing.

[@marvindebot3264]

Sincere congrats to all of you down there, you did very well!

[@markg6860]

Odd tea/coffee mugs is a very British thing! I emigrated to Dallas in 1990, but my cupboard still has a collection of odd tea mugs, collected from various places.

[@keithbradfield7825]

Lovely to see you both just having a chat

[@philipcuthbert8803]

Love watching you both your the crazyist pair on the canal in a nice way never no but one day our paths will cross or is that boats lol alway laugh when i watch keep going forward as its alot harder going backwards xxx to you both

[@bearmaine]

Try to blow the heavier COLD air from the floor towards the front and the lighter warm air will flow on it's own. My partner and I love you along with our two cats Alex and Shadow2.

[@RoyClare]

Love the warmth you share with us all, as your extended virtual community .... thank you! 😊

[@grizzly22485]

I am older and retired inthe U S A. You two are always a bright, entertaining, and interesting spot in my day when I watch your videos. Cheers!

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

Wow, thank you!

[@722dabba]

I got rid of facebook many years ago but I understand. thank you for your thoughtfulness

[@pyoung168]

Missed you live but watched the replay. Lots of fun. Thanks and take care.

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Great to see you both - sorry we missed it live x

[@pameladwyer2244]

Watching the repeat with you guys. Love your wonderful personalities, and beautiful smiles! Thank you for all the lovely vlogs, and adventures. Things may be quieter with lockdown, but I know we’ll still share your lives, and joys! All the best from Newmarket, Ontario!

[@hstteacher]

Beautiful. More thanks from the US - Dayton Ohio. Sorry for the lockdown, but be thankful - we need a lockdown here - COVID is raging, but politically not possible. Thanks for your videos - my British husband and I rented a narrow boat for a week a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thanks for reminding us. Will have to look at more of your art. Stay safe!

[@eirishemd]

So good to see you both again! I missed the live broadcast but I’m catching up now. I’m having a cup of orange pekoe. Stay safe and thanks for chatting with us 🇨🇦❤️

[@heatherjones4034]

I can’t wait for Christmas with you two and the Cats. Blessings♥️

[@nzlily]

Worried about you two. Hope you are both well and happy.

[@lauriebrown2057]

Just watched your video. It was so delightful to sit with you guys for a longer time. I always felt that sometimes it was too short of a time. My husband and I watch you faithfully. He always says "lets watch the girls". Thank you for sharing so much with us and thank you for your creativity. Keep happy as you always do.

[@tomas5376]

I avoid Facebook and Twitter like the plague!👍✌️😊🙏🏼

[@CawffeeTyme]

The closest I have been to facebook in the last 8 years, is an instagram account I made in recent days. I have a twitter myself but rarely check it.

[@anthonysmith-storey9247]

Great chat girls. Can’t believe how fast time went. Take care x

[@lynmoore8355]

well being in Australia and working I just got a chance to watch your live stream, brilliant well done ladies, I will be for one waiting for an Australian version please and have to check out those christmas pins it was a great live stream and the weather is just perfect English weather while I am sitting here in 33 degrees lovely sunny weather today in Adelaide

[@ralphwood9865]

Hi guys missed your live vlog as I was busy cleaning up leaves.So sitting here now with my coffee and a sandwich . enjoying your banter. I look forward weekly to your vlogs youre so imaginative in your topics.We are not in any deeper lockdown fortunately but wish you as good a lock down as possible so take care be safe. Cheers from Canada

[@paullowden1643]

Hats off to you ladies, you have gentle hearts.

[@kevinchiverton6429]

I'm two or three weeks late watching this, so I've missed quiz etc but no worries, I just enjoy watching you four. Like a fly-on-the-wall documentary. Just wanted to say to Kath, I'm with you on the Facebook saga. I too have not been on my Facebook now for some three to four years. I found it a bit boring, and life wasting. Having said that, I did set up an Instagram this afternoon, so I'll give that a go for now. So I'm now going to follow you on that as well as here on you tube, just get some extra contents. What time do your live streaming start, and on which days. Keep safe and well. See yer again. 😉

[@michaelpeters5056]

You guys are a riot, love the livestream, eventhough I missed it actually live - busy putting extra lines on the boat in case ETA does something nasty.

[@michaelreams6942]

This format is perfect for you two. Your personalities really come through! Well done, loved it. Is the tree painting above Cats head for sale?

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

The original sold, but I think there might be prints.

[@grahamdore3001]

You bring back a lot of memories I used to fish the Gloucester Sharpness canal at the junction of the Stroud water canal in the sixties I love watching your blog I live in Victoria Australia now keep bloging

[@williamreimund9001]

I love watching live stream videos, I find them all quite interesting. I usually wait until they're posted on Facebook and over with so if I want to stop or need to leave for a minute or two I'm not missing anything. Keep them coming they're fun to watch!

[@Goldswan1]

What a wonderful idea and generous of you to give of your time. I am sure you will help many feel less lonely and give them something to look forward too. Always enjoy your videos on you tube., such beautiful ladies. Your smiles are a great way for me to go to sleep (night worker). So hello from Minnesota USA (no longer embarassed to be from here)

[@dawnoakley1776]

I really dont like facebook, im with you kath, i havnt been on it for years xx

[@Kat69nh]

She is making tea! Love watching you ladies with your beautiful cats! Was watching Cruising the cut from a few years ago! You are Looking just as beautiful! My dog GG! Says woof to your two babies! I love Dr. Pepper! But still have to have a cuppa tea first thing in the morning! White with no sugar! friends just getting over the virus. In Lincolnshire! All three members in one household! Have just finished two weeks of self isolation! Hard when you run a stable and have dogs! Unable to take the animals out! Clad you are are being safe and healthy.

[@ccjohncc1]

Thanks for this. I haven't been around as much. Been working on my car so I can finally drive to Outer Banks and visit my Mom who is in assisted living. They lifted restrictions so I can visit in person outside of course with masks but now she took a fall and cracked T11 and burst fractured T 12. Ugh so that is on hold. I am 63 live alone and always enjoy your videos. I think it might be because I grew up with 2 sisters. lol I also am a cat lover and have my red Tabby and also just took in a pregnant feral and tried to adopt out her 3 kittens. That was a big learning experience lol..ok you all stay safe.

[@sharonholding5982]

Good Morning Ladies. Enjoying a Re-Play of your "Livestream Afternoon Tea " here on a Monday morning. The kitty kat's "Peeping Tree" ha ha. Good idea. Thank you for bringing niceness during our challenging times. Stay safe, stay healthy. ✌❤🤗

[@KoffieMoffie]

It is 5 am here in northern Thailand and I am drinking Twinings Chai & eating an English pork pie! So much for my diet. Loved watching the replay, so pleased that you have such a wonderful mooring spot for lockdown. Here we have few restrictions but live the new normal of handwashing and face & masks. Our pandemic is pretty well under control thanks to stringent measures, I wish your government had the ability to get yours into similar shape. Stay safe and stay well.

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

Where did you get the pork pie from?

[@KoffieMoffie]

@@TheNarrowboatExperience I bought it at a local supermarket which stocks some Waitrose products. The reason I bought it was because I have been drinking champagne to celebrate the Biden victory & it is a tradition of mine always to eat a cold pork pie whenever I have champers. Silly but true!

[@jinnygaatjenietaan306]

Watching replay, working on a seaship, you have not always the opportunity to watch when you want. Here (when I've been on shore) two lady's with a vessel too. Not on youtube, but we are following you lady's for a year or something now... We live in the Netherlands and are Dutch of course. Traveling with our vessel for 6 weeks in the summer and some weeks in spring and autumn too. Greetings from the Faeroe islands now and have a good lockdown.

[@l.lively9993]

Coffee in morning but jasmine green tea in afternoon for me. Enjoy your videos.

[@Deb_Downes]

I just watched the replay (from Radelaide) and I really enjoyed it. Whilst it might be great to watch live, as I don’t comment that much, the replay works just as well. You’re both so upbeat and chatty and I love that. As I watched in the early evening, I skipped the afternoon tea and went straight to a glass of red. Take care during lockdown and stay safe. Oh! And, as a child I lived in Gloucestershire - that canal with the mist looks stunning - especially when it’s been 34C and boiling today 😂

[@petergardner5753]

Nice video. My Dad's boat was moored on the G & S shortly after he bought it. The mooring was at Saul, where the restoration towards the Cotswolds starts. I have lots of photos of this canal, dating from the 1990s. All the best.

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

Very cool!

[@jimmisura6533]

Love you girls! Your so sweet and kind. Your blogs always make my day. Cheers from Florida. P.S. We are all celebrating here! Looking forward to a return to sanity once the new administration moves into the White House. First woman VP Yay!

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

So cool!

[@Mark-ct5dh]

I’m with Cath I don’t like Facebook. But I love the idea of the Art on Facebook. How nice of you to spend the time Anna-Marie! I hope you two do a lot of Vlogs during lockdown. I love the Kitty Cats! I’ve watched ALL of your Vlogs! Mark from Colorado 🇺🇸

[@cruisingwithnarrowboatiris6161]

So lovely to see you both LIVE..fantastic..I’m in the middle of cooking a roast dinner for hubby and me....we are currently landlubbers..not by choice but because of family commitments..but we plan to retire back into the waterways soon..having enjoyed over 40 years boating..hiring and sharing vessels....hello to Alice and Munchy..take care stay safe...love from the Somerset Boaters...xx

[@MrAg272]

G'day Annamarie and Kath. I hope maybe next year I can watch a live stream. The time difference between the UK and Australia is one thing. At the moment I have limited Internet access. I am watching the the replay today (Monday Sydney time) and like the cat tree. Lock down in the UK. Sending good vibes to you both.

[@petertuffley7475]

I'm watching you in New Zealand drinking Yorkshire Tea. And here we haven't had lockdown for literally months, so I feel really sorry for you guys.

[@JCDiamond]

I am so sorry I was unable to watch live, but I really enjoyed watching this on the replay! I love the idea of the painting classes for a number of reasons and I am super excited to join in.

[@LeslieMatheson]

Viewers from Florida, watching on the replay. Good to see both of you in such a jovial mood.

[@deborahingles9392]

Watching on replay Monday morningish .... luv seeing you 2 and the beautiful cats .... great live/replay vlog.... glad your both safe.... catch you next week.... Debz from Oz

[@simao_bacamarte]

So glad to see you girls are OK. I accessed my Facebook for the last time ages ago. Will try to remember my credentials to follow the live sessions. You're so sweet, be safe.

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

You are very welcome if you would like.

[@Scouse270]

Another lovely video ladies and typical that you are concentrating your efforts on helping others get through the lockdown. Well done.

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

Thank you so much!

[@joejones6764]

I just love the UK. And what a great life you both have!

[@stevegould1607]

A 36 minute live visit, how delightful. (We have alluring mist as well - not quite sure what is out there sometimes...)

[@Andre-fj4xx]

Shame, I wont be able to join you. But I do not and never will use Facebook. Nevertheless, have fun!!

[@siobhanappleton4985]

Always end up watching on the replays, as a fellow Australian. The perils of watching international channels :)

[@ianlove3]

stay safe and take care

[@erikandreassen6531]

Sorry I missed the live cast, my wife has been keeping me busy. It's good to see your keeping both yours and the cats spirits up. Take care, here in New Zealand we aren't as bad as England but we did do an initial lock-down and our border monitoring has so far caught anyone infected thought there was a cargo (land based) that tested positive, they jumped on that real quick. Due to medication I don't get out much so watching you and your friends from the other side of the world (other hemisphere as well) I really enjoy the journey, your commentary and the cat's. We have 4 of our own hosting 3 big boys and 2 kittens and a grumpy cat that we are trying to home as well as 2 dogs, 2 hand reared cockatiels and an assortment of goldfish and at this time of year (spring summer) a few frogs. You and your family keep safe.

[@gregbolitho6751]

missed this, sorry, but theres always a coffee on my desk :) g'day from downunder. always nice to see the assistant director an the assistant producer too. your winters comin, stay safe, warm, an well, eh!

[@dd1394]

You gals have become my favourite canal boat you tubers🥰. Stay safe.

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

Yay! Thank you!

[@colinjames7828]

Having watched every video now , so glad to hear that the cats have new outfits for Christmas, We were in hysterics seeing them last year. Well done , cant wait,

[@MandalVandal]

Watched on delay as my footie team were playing in the FA cup - loved it - looks like Alice has recovered from her canal swim - great idea though guys -take care and keep safe

[@celtic1522]

Lockdown is awful! Down here in NZ the only area under real lockdown has been Auckland of late. Where we live things are pretty much as usual, we are at level 1. A 1,200 mile moat around us has its pluses, isolation is good sometimes apparently! All the best to the four of you at this trying time, the UK is in a bit of a mess covid wise it seems...

[@lesleysilverstone2868]

I really enjoyed this live chat. You are both so friendly and happy....a joy to watch and listen to. Could not do it live, I am on Vancouver Island and we are 8 hours behind....but....I did eat my breakfast with you - a bacon and egger bun with avocado mayonnaise...yummy. Keep safe and well. Hugs to you both and the cats.

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@shanehumberstone5262]

Sorry I’m late to the party you lovely ladies are so lucky living on a boat,recently bought a boat myself( not a narrow boat though)

[@corykelly2163]

That was fun. Your afternoon tea, my morning coffee.

[@alainjimenez4584]

I am having a coffee, unfortunately i fell a sleep waiting for the rare livestream 11:30pm Philippine time. Lovely mooring spot, kinda calm and relaxing. Keep safe always Anna and Kath. Cheers

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

Next time!

[@barrylytle5118]

Lovely to see you both and have a chat!

[@shaunbarton-collins1180]

30 mins is actually a great length, I get board with ones that seem to go on and on.

[@cathymckay3784]

Love Alice's peeking tree... Our cat does the same, love Munchie too!

[@penneynoss9552]

Love you ladies 💖 thank you for your authenticity

[@timothymulholland7905]

Greetings from fans in Brazil! Always a pleasure.

[@brianinbrisbane6632]

My drink of choice today is in my water bottle - water, lemon juice, chia seeds, and spinich powder. Lockdown where I am.is shambles with so many people.out shopping and meeting friends.

[@grahamallison2990]

You are in a nice place, it's where we come to walk our dogs canal side. Frampton up to Saul junction and either end. The village green is good too for exploration, which with lockdown you may get more chance to see. Stay safe.

[@johnarrow3190]

I am sorry I missed your live blog. You have a lot of fun with them, and do them so well. I love seeing how Munchie and Alice are doing, because I (we) are owned by four cats.

[@johnmac6202]

I have been watching you guys for 2 plus years and wrote often, but I would like to say I live further than Aussies do, I am a Kiwi from "NEW ZEALAND". so, Kaiora mi tatou to you both. I think you may remember me as John from NZ. I left UK in 1986 but coming back to ole blighty as soon as restrictions are done, so looking at 6 months, and we are looking already for a narrow boat as Ruth my Girl friend lives in Essex . Blessings to you both.

[@marciajenkins819]

We missed the live, but were able to enjoy a cup of coffee(me) and cup of tea ( my husband) as we watched the replay. You do indeed have a lovely mooring spot.

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@MrFroglips69]

Groovy Sunday ladies

[@cafecito25]

My tea of choice today is an orange spice. Although my favorite is Earl Grey.🙂

[@sheryld1957]

Great live stream. Sorry I had to watch the replay. Stay safe and sane during lockdown. We may be going into lockdown ourselves in the US.

[@stevecooney1361]

Glad to see your still down the canal from me

Watching on replay as the live was in the middle of the night for me in Australia.

[@glennjones8121]

Thanks for all your wonderful videos. I enjoy them alot. Oh and coffee lol.

[@jackiewessel7195]

No idea about Kath. Beautiful! What a great idea for a live vlog. Drinking coconut LaCroix sparkling water on Lake Erie in the US. We are also high in coronavirus in Ohio. Thinking of you and truly appreciate your efforts to keep us positive and cheerful in this stressful time.

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

That sounds delicious

[@peterbettell1361]

You guys are great x
