[@bernishepherd4611]

I think that this episode is one of my favourites. You bring joy to everything and you were both extremely adorable practicing your sign language in the pub 💛

[@BoatTime]

yay we’re so happy you liked it ☺️♥️ we really enjoyed this one too! thanks for watching!

[@Oldbangervids]

Completely agree I look forward to the videos every week they have brought me through so much

[@BoatTime]

@@Oldbangervids oh lee that’s so lovely 🥰

[@tessapetters3936]

Starling Murmuration, they collect in huge numbers , before roosting for the night. Its done to confuse any birds of prey. Ballet in the sky. Beautiful.

[@janroberts1815]

Can't believe they don't collide with each other

[@tessapetters3936]

@@janroberts1815 Each bird turns just after the bird in front, like formation flying. Its a miracle of nature for sure. I can stand and watch them and never ger bored.

[@chicagogal555]

It was a beautiful moment.

[@janroberts1815]

I could too!@@tessapetters3936

[@bobbing_along]

Oh this is such a lovely one! ❤ Loved the signing while playing, the murmuration of starlings, and the kite flying 😍 absolutely joyful x

[@BoatTime]

thank you lovelies ☺️♥️

[@rachelshonahague5718]

A free air display and a£3 kite.! Yeh.. Having fun and making memories doesn't have to be expensive .xxxx

[@BoatTime]

exactly!! 🥰☀️

[@gillyhennessy7637]

Yes Wes, its called a murmuration of starlings.... you may have more fun with a bigger stunt kite!

[@julieanneroberts4752]

Starling murmatations are absolutely fasacinating, Nature is amazing. Enjoyed watching the kites soar high in the sky, simple pleasures in life are the best (I’m 55yrs old and have never successfully flown a kite 😳🪁….I am now going to put it on my tick list)

[@sallyannlidtka7290]

😂😂😂😂cinnamon rolls😂😂😂😂brilliant

[@Rachellovescheese]

What a fun episode. You guys make me laugh so much, running with the kite & mashing ninja ❤😂 brilliant

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Wes, you are absolutely right - Birds (in this instance probably Starlings) all flying together at sunset IS called a “murmuration” 🙂 Some people say that they fly together like this for safety in numbers, but my favourite reason is that they are exchanging information about the good places to find food. I like that idea, it’s like a BIG gossip session (about food) in the sky. 🙂🐿🌈❤️

[@janwhitley3895]

Off to the beach with the Grandkids tonight to try and fly a kite. Great vlog, love from Taranaki NZ

[@BoatTime]

yaaaay! Did it work? 😊🪁

[@scottwilliams5407]

So lovely to bump into you both and Rufus yesterday at bridge 126. Such a nice surprise! Lots of love, London campervan guys, Scott, Dawson and furbaby Kodi xx

[@BoatTime]

lovely to see you! ☺️ enjoy your travels

[@barryedwards4481]

Thanks Amy and Wes another wonderful vlog you guys make me smile for the things you get up to and Amy you it was like watching a Greek cooking show with the scarf rapped around your head mashing the potato thanks guys stay safe and happy and safe boating cheers Barry from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺

[@MichaelDouglas-yo2gu]

Loved this vlog, from the banging cinnamon rolls to the kite flying 😊. Tring is better when it's open 🤔. And your sign language skills are definitely improving - I could follow along (although the subtitles and lip-reading might have helped 😆)

[@maryearll2135]

You both are adorably funny and sweet! Thank you for the beautiful filming and music to the murmuration of the starlings. That was super as was the fun we all had flying the kites. What a wonderful video - glad I waited til the end of the day to watch all the beauty and fun times!! (optimum wind for kite flying is 11 miles per hr. - you'll have to do the convert)

[@sarahbooth8870]

Thank you for the birdies. So beautiful 😊

[@vickyf164]

Hey Guys 👋 What a great vlog! ❤ Love that you’re learning sign language, flying the kite made me smile like a little kid and the starlings was just a real treat! Have a blessed week 🙏

[@BoatTime]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@janroberts1815]

You are right Wes, it is a murmuration of starlings. Fantastic to watch 👍 Love that you are doing sign language Love your Vlogs. Don't comment so often as it's more work for you to reply. Watch every episode 👍

[@BoatTime]

aw that’s really thoughtful of you thank you but we do enjoy reading the comments, we try to reply to as many as we can! ♥️😍 glad you enjoy the videos!

[@marianneeckertjensen4723]

Thank you so much for being so down-to-earth and having a lot of childish things going on :)

[@BoatTime]

aw thank you! Always 🥰 love a bit of childish fun!

[@jaybee8547]

Impressed with your signing.🤔 Smirking at the sight of you wiping your chippy fingers on your jumper😉 Amy.

[@janroberts1815]

I saw that too 🤣🤣

[@BoatTime]

you didn’t see anything 😂😂

[@Madhouse-up2ok]

Best vlog your like a pair of naughty school children love it. I have been watching many narrowboat vlogs as me and my husband want to buy one in a few years and both you and Wes have given us so many things to think about with a lot of laughs along the way ❤

[@Nbwarriorlifeonthecut]

Lol 😂 😅😂. “ just keep up a constant speed Wes !! “. 🪁🪁🪁. We have laughed 😊😊😊

[@galaxy98765]

Those rolls look so good. On another note, have you ever lost your balance and fallen into the water? I might be prone to doing that! Love your videos! And your pets! ❤❤❤

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Fantastic Murmuration, and yes, it's starlings gathering and flying together before they roost at dusk... Superb to have them fly over so close!

[@BoatTime]

I bet that’s an amazing sight 😍

[@sheilajoseph9953]

😂😂First attempt kite flying was more like kite,dragging. Second attempt great. You both being a smile to my face every time 💚

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Hi Amy and Wes. Great fun video. Was amazing to see the Murmuration of Starlings. I’d love to see them. The kite flying was very funny 🤣 Take care. Nick

[@Roo-s_Life]

Bloody love you guys! THANK YOU 🥰

[@BoatTime]

thanks Roo! 🥰♥️

[@karenlee4348]

I just love all of y’all’s adventures

[@sarahbooth8870]

You guys are so real and funny and honest. It’s a joy to watch your vlogs. The aesthetic thing has its place but it’s not reality really is it 😉

[@BoatTime]

haha exactly! we can’t do it even when we try 😂

[@susanmcnamara1173]

Love you guys, laughed so much I cried,thought you two were going to give me a heart attack.😂😂😂❤

[@Red-Robin4]

I love it when birds do that it’s so beautiful how all ebb and flow together. I always love y’all’s videos you are definitely one of my favorite channels that I watch.❤

[@BoatTime]

Thank you so much!!♥️

[@dianehargrave6747]

You looked very good doing sign language I would love to learn it so when I’m out with my partner people don’t know what we are saying 😊

[@annjarvis9300]

[@shanehumberstone5262]

💜💙💚

[@evercuriousmichelle]

I love that you post during the week, it’s a great pick me up to keep me going till the weekend!

[@BoatTime]

yaay! We’re glad ☺️

[@Loveofdolls11]

Aww wondered where The Bears where in this video 😂😂😂

[@rebeccathomson6005]

YOU GUYS ARE SO LOVELY X

[@uvodee]

One of the debutant errors with kiting is that the string is far too short, please use at least 20 meters or 60 ft of string when you let the kite up or start running with it… that allows the kite to go up without restraint

[@andyk101]

The shoe repairs shop run by Cobbler Dan, has its own really good vlog... 'Tring Shoe Repairs'

[@RCKennington]

Was wondering why I knew Tring untill you showed the shoe shop. KZbin algorithm decided I needed shoe repair and review vidoes for a while.

[@BoatTime]

ah amazing! we had no idea, what a cool channel thank you ☺️

[@robertbrierley7083]

You can't beat a good mermeration, we only had two starlings in our garden today lol, great vlog take care.😊

[@Freeasabird2024]

I enjoy watching you both, you are funny and it cheers me up.😊

[@BoatTime]

😊 thank you

[@mazack00]

the kite flying was a real treat! simple joys indeed :)

[@FlossyJim]

"We've got wiiind!" 😆 Love you two so much. That murmuration though. 😮♥️

[@BoatTime]

haha it was hopeful! thank you guys 🥰

[@virginiakirkupscrolltoto7794]

Loved the kite flying !

[@absolutelyamanda2942]

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful life, humour and outlook with us. Xx

[@BoatTime]

thank YOU for watching along with us 🥰 x

[@isabellezendragon]

We need a “that boat” routine 😂

[@BoatTime]

wake up at 4am to do yoga on the roof of course 💅🏻

[@torichopsrichards621]

Just what I needed today! So good to see you. Those birds though 😍❤ xx

[@BoatTime]

glad you enjoyed it!🥰

[@theubiquitusgastronaut8273]

Sometimes it is like watching the Two Ronnies. Love your life such fun 😂

[@janroberts1815]

Agree, they are totally in tune with each other 🤣🤣

[@PKWeaver74]

Wow! Always wanted to see a Murmuration of Starlings! Preferably whilst on acid.

[@carolinefrench7820]

Absolutely right, wes

[@stephaniemomof9746]

Just found your channel and really enjoying it!

[@BoatTime]

Welcome! 🤗 thank you!

[@sarahbooth8870]

Ha! The juicy marbles. Our little hooligan of a Patterdale terrier Monty nicked a whole one out of the still hot but turned off oven where it was keeping warm on the plate!!! I got our plates out and one just had the chips and peas and no steak! Very naughty. Every time I cook now he just sits by the oven hopefully 😂

[@sarahbooth8870]

Btw they are amazing braised with onions and mushrooms in gravy 😋

[@BoatTime]

😂 that’s when you know a fake meat is good

[@alfbranch9739]

A starling murmaration I haven't seen one that big for 30 years

[@jackiemacdonald999]

😅😅 Never giggled so much at kite flying, 👍👌😆,...

[@red9zero]

Thanks for explaining you eating "meat". I often wondered that !

[@larryalbert1027]

Greetings from the state of Michigan USA

[@sallyu1]

That was really great fun! We will definately look out for a kite in the charity shops. Have you tried Jack Fruit? We bought a can of it in Tesco, it's sort of like pulled chicken xx

[@RetireMentalityChallenged]

google murmuration's some time there have been some really enormous flocks recorded.

[@danhatton4443]

Did you get a chance to visit the museum in Tring? It’s like an annex of the natural history museum in London and well worth a visit.

[@justann1861]

Wow! What a murmuration! Thanks for sharing that.

[@beckyrea2262]

You’re right Wes…..! 👍🏻 the starlings all come together to roost, safe in numbers & yes it starts with a few, but they gather in a large number when it comes to bed time ❤️❤️❤️ nice place your at there X X X

[@shanehumberstone5262]

That card game must be really popular,they have it in just about every pub you go in

[@BoatTime]

haha we take it with us basically everywhere! ☺️🃏

[@MelG-ut3hs]

That was so exhilarating flying the kites. Such a fun video. Thanks.

[@Andrea29987]

The murmuration 😮just stunning. I love kite flying 🪁 great video ❤ xx

[@BoatTime]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@doingstuffbadly]

15:25 - Rufus taking a poop during Wes’ best aesthetic shot had me in absolute stitches 😂

[@claireswain9748]

😂I spotted it as well😂

[@claireswain9748]

I spotted this as well😂

[@wandabond4768]

Great video!

[@bimbledwadle]

Awesome. Thank you

[@BoatTime]

Glad you liked it!

[@natashab2304]

OMG a skyfull episode - it's been so long since I've flown a kite - I'd forgotten the joy!! I'm so impressed that you put a drone up too!!! Mr Maps made me laugh, the cinnamon yummys made me drool!! And the starling murmuration was just incredible!!! I'm convinced that one of the reasons they do it is for the joy of it!!! Great episode - thank you so much 💖🙏 x

[@johnmact5548]

stunning and thanks for sharing

[@BoatTime]

Thanks for watching!🥰

[@traceyjordan9284]

A murmuration of starlings I think

[@Quimzical]

While I know your both British, often I am not aware of your accents, but when Wes looked out the window and exclaimed "Its blowing a almighty Gale out there today" ok yeah I remembered your both British.. hehe. Watching some episodes with a snack, can you guess what? lol

[@ShaftyandCratch]

Fabulous video ❤

[@BoatTime]

Thanks 🤗

[@jacquelinesheskey7870]

Awwww what a lovely episode!! Loved the kite flying and you both signing while playing cards! Those cinnamon rolls looked Devine! Thank you for including us 😍❤️😍

[@BoatTime]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@xemmamalene]

Love the juicy marbles! Shame it’s £9 nowadays 😂

[@Northen-point-of-view]

Love the videos ❤

[@BoatTime]

thank you, we’re glad! 🥰

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

Awww so lovely. Loved the kite flying. And might try those vegan steaks if I see them. I like quorn stuff but don’t think that’s vegan just veggie. Great vlog. Every best wish.

[@shanehumberstone5262]

I don’t need asking twice(grabs his coat and wellies and windlass)

[@BoatTime]

haha thanks for joining us! ☺️

[@Hartley69]

Cracking Vlog ❤

[@BoatTime]

thank you! ☺️

[@vivnutter2156]

Are you sure you didn’t nip the shop for those rolls .hmmm.xx

[@Oldbangervids]

Thanks from Lee walker

[@BoatTime]

Thanks so much Lee! 😊

[@nighttime64]

Hi, check out A Walk On The Wildside. Based in Blackpool, knows all about the birds has some amazing film of them they are starlings

[@BoatTime]

ooh amazing thank you ☺️ will check it out

[@user-xw6wj2qh5n]

Nothing like getting a kite out to make the wind disappear. Apparently a murmuration can have up to 750,000 birds.

[@keyboard6746]

We tried the Juicy Marbles recently - on offer as well - thought it might go well in a Wellington style thing!

[@debgraddon8059]

I did the exact same thing with pastries how ever after cooking mine looked awful

[@jenstoneman5217]

Loved the video. Is it coincidence that you were practising your signing in #BSLWeek? I can sign too 👋

[@BoatTime]

We had no idea, good timing! thank you for letting us know ☺️🤟🏻

[@johnmact5548]

The swifts have returned and as our apartment is on the 17 floor we at the same level they are catching insects

[@johnboy4809]

Only found your channel a few days ago so still watching your past content. Great channel and a lovely couple to meet on the canal. Any boaters on here had any success with starlink for faster internet ?

[@BoatTime]

Welcome! thank you ☺️ We have heard mixed results of it, it’s expensive and the main issue is the clear line of sight thing, which you often can’t get on the canals with lots of tree cover etc.

[@simonbiggs9102]

So glad they are all closed dont know how you all feel but i dont think shops should open on a sunday

[@Roy66Nott]

👍sign language.

[@dexterfitben]

I'm going to report you to the RSPCH for telling the public to use Hamsters as a winter fuel alternative....even though they are probably more green than coal.

[@karend6748]

Lol😂

[@BoatTime]

😂 oh no! That winter fuel is not endorsed by BoatTime Ltd

[@jamieblank4470]

❤ 🪁

[@simonbiggs9102]

Gggrrrrrrr youtube messing up your vlog with adverts

[@Draegarth]

I've never understood the point "why would you make it look like meat?" like meat comes in mince/sausage/patty forms by default... people confuse me :/

[@JC-ut4oi]

I"m sorry - I wouldn't touch that stuff - it's as bad as macdonalds full of nasty things.

[@shanehumberstone5262]

I was told that if you use some strong cotton to cut cinnamon rolls it doesn’t squish them like cutting with a knife does( wrap it round then pull it tight to cut a slice)

[@BoatTime]

ooh yes we did consider trying dental floss 😂

[@nymphoification]

Love your channel and watched since the start, much prefer the older format though I must say. I prefer the clunky, rustic rather than what to me, feels forced in the latter episodes you guys are doing 😢. It feels somewhat too silly and not in your usual funny silly ways x I don't mean to be negative and I hope you take this as constructive feedback x
