Happy Thanksgiving time from Arizona U.S. Just watching your video from a year ago...sorry I'm late. Anyway just want to say CHEERS for letting a old woman into the lifestyle I've always wanted. I wear narrowboat tees and have posters around the flat like I'm a teenager worshiping a rock band.❤ Love your journey, keep it up! Jealous on the 10th°! Safe travels and always wait for your next video with great anticipation.

So good, especially Swan Lake!

These videos are so lovely, thank you. Are you planning to do (or already done) a video on practical stuff like boat and other costs, and all things to consider when making the move to the water?

[@ClareHenney-hd2hy]

Oh my goodness!!!! Absolutely bloody brilliant!!! I’ve missed you these past few weeks, kept a look out and then tonight 😀😀😀😀yay!!! Love the swan & signets video. Your editing and videography is well……just absolutely fantastic!!! I’ve said this before and I’m going to say it again, there are lots of vlogs out there and to be honest I’ve lost interest in most of them as they all copy one another but you are absolutely unique and the videography is so professional!!! Thank you so much xxx

[@cpoco]

We were in England when I was 4 going on 5, around Aldershot and we spotted something that breached the surface of the cannal around there. I suspect it may have been an eel? Not sure if your sighting is an eel or just a fish breaking the surface of the water? Lovely time-lapse of the flowers!

I’ve never had a scotch egg but that look absolutely decadent!

[@johndawson4921]

Hi there, well we did it! We hired a narrowboat and did the Ashby canal for a week, it was amazing, nerve wracking and everything in between. The English countryside is just beautiful and everyone we met was friendly and helpful (especially when I got the boat stuck on mudbanks twice😂) The weather gods were kind to us and I see what you mean by tight corners! I now understand the attraction of your nomadic water gypsy lifestyle and am extremely envious. We're back home now in New Zealand and I will look forward to your vlogs, keep them coming!

I’m now living in Overwater Marina, Nantwich, Cheshire. You were very lucky to be moored on a great pontoon. I like this Marina but all I can see is the side of two boats, not exactly what was planned but now necessary I’m afraid. I still haven’t got the courage up to learn to steer yet. Absolutely loved the swan interlude, brilliant. 🦢 Happy Belated Birthday 🎉🎊🎁🍷🥃🍾🥂

[@krisatomic]

Thank you Wendy, lovely to hear from you! Hope to see you steering up a storm out on the cut one day ❤️ If we’re ever in the area we must meet up for a cup of tea or a glass of wine!

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

Happy Birthday 🎂🥳 The marina looked nice, liked the amenities, but if I had a boat I would want to spend as much time as I could cruising. I am glad you, Andrew and Matilda feel the same way. You and the birds are hysterical! Loved the swan interlude. As usual, a beautiful video. And……the Scotch Egg!!!!! WOWZAA! I have never seen one but it looked delicious. Take care., and thank you. 😊🤗 Kathy

Since I first discovered your narrownboat vlogs and found them to be so wonderfully refreshing. It is always such a pleasure to see a new portrayal of, 'This is it and that's what's happening' and as sublime as that sounds, I love every second of the unique way you see things. I dearly want to thank both of you for the effort you put into making these little moments a reality. Big hugs to both of you and, a belated Happy Birthday Chris. Yea!

Another scrumptious video and a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎂🥂 OMG!! That scotch egg looked amazing but so did the entire location and vibe of the place. I also loved the Swan Lake interlude, you have such an astute and clever eye to spot simple yet great images and choose just the right music. Don't worry about your vans, stick to your crocs, they are now famous ❤

Great vid , love the music !! As an observation I think tulips are highly dangerous for cats ! Throw them out 😁.

I did know about the tulips (and lilies of course)! They’re always out of her reach and she’s never shown any interest in them, but still good to be careful, I agree!

Good to see you back, the marina seems a little less stressful,is there winter mooring available or is that really expensive.❤

[@krisatomic]

Thank you! They do winter moorings, you have to put yourself on a list and they’ll let you know what’s available 👍

[@Vivienlewis]

U can usually get into by towpath, much safer

[@RJ-444]

You were lucky to get an end spot at the marina while you were there, seeing boats either side through the windows must be a strange thing to get used to if you're squidged in the middle. You both excel at photography and storytelling (not forgetting the editing, of course), this was a lovely watch. I hope you managed to get to the farm shop eventually for some giant foodstuffs and I was admiring your new glasses which momentarily made me pay my respects to your old glasses in their watery canal grave. RIP.

[@krisatomic]

Thanks so much! Incredibly we’ve still never made it to the farm shop despite passing it loads of times as their opening hours are like - every other Tuesday and Thursday 2:35 - 4:00pm when the moon is full ONLY

[@shnboardman1]

Hi, Great channel. Do you know how expensive the electricity is in the marina?. Do you pay separately or is it part of the mooring?

[@krisatomic]

We paid separately. It’s metered, so you just pay for what you use. We paid just under a tenner for electricity for the week, and I’d say we’re at the top end of users and we also didn’t have our solar connected for most of that time. I imagine most people would use much less than that.

[@shnboardman1]

Thanks so much for the quick reply. If you dont mind what size is your boat and what was the cost or the mooring?@@krisatomic

[@krisatomic]

@@shnboardman1 no probs! Our boat is 70ft, we paid £85 if I remember correctly (it was 8 days in the end, so more than a week) Not sure how their pricing works, so I’d give them a call to check as it may vary seasonally or depending on how long you stay.

[@baldymagoo]

Did you know that Geese will form a crèche system, so not unusual to see 20-30 chicks and maybe 3 or 4 parents , leaving the other birds to have a bit of down time! ( down time, sorry)

[@brianclarke7169]

Super photography. I always seem to be hungry watching your videos, so bakeries are not helpful.

The scotch egg should by law have a use by date. Firstly it's chilled, and its meat. The farm shop,should,know better as that it is a very basic error.
