Hi guys hope you enjoyed the video! If you are interested in Benny's music, we've actually opened the preorders for his new album today! Follow this link to have a look bennyjones.bandcamp.com/album/rarer-forms-of-wandering

[@DenaliDad]

Emily: "You will recognize some tracks, but there are plenty new...SQUIRREL!" 😂

[@BenandEmily]

😆

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

My favourite moment, but I’m biased 🤣🤣

[@brain8484]

Benny's music is perfect for the enviroment you travel through.

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks so much! 😀

[@scottlomas5509]

It's amazing how Alan doesn't run away when you guys tie up. Has she ever legged it before? We love you Alan 💕

[@suzieq2958]

I think Alan's only ever run off when a big dog barked 😀

[@TB-us7el]

Probably unsettled by the fact every time they open the door, they could be in a new location, with new sights and smells.

[@BenandEmily]

Hello! No she's very chilled and very much a house cat. She loves to have a sniff around and a walk up and down to check where she is but she's happy to stay near the boat 😺

[@troopertaylor498]

I really want to watch a weekly “Alan Cam” video!! Just Alan jumping around from place to place and random shots of her walking around. 15 minutes at least every week. Thanks! 😂😂😂😂

[@nb.silverfern1]

So funny watching the small boat chase after the big one like a duckling after its mother! Alan cam shows a whole new perspective too :)

[@markd3250]

You guys have gotten so comfortable with doing this, and it feels so natural now, that it's almost like I'm a guest with you instead of just watching a video. It's so interesting seeing how it all looks from Alan's perspective, and seeing what she chooses to look at. Love the new music Benny! Your music is a large part of what makes your videos so special and different from other narrowboat videos. Does Emily ever sing or play anything on any of your songs? Maybe you can figure out a way to include Alan purring on a song or two lol. This was such a fun video!

[@garylydement5020]

That would be purrfect to include Alan in his music

[@carlwoodcock9249]

My missus … have ben and emily posted yet … every 10 minutes 😂😂 we love u 2 . 👍👍🇬🇧

[@BenandEmily]

Awwww thanks!! 🥰

[@MelG-ut3hs]

It's amazing how the beautiful music is just perfect for the vlog. Love watching what you get up to every week and Alan is such a star.

[@michelshobbyecke6044]

Hello Emily. I like it when you laugh 😊

[@susanoshea8296]

Loved every moment of it, will be watching a few times this week. Your music for the trip through countryside is perfect Benny. Hope you are both over your colds. Beans on toast with sausages such a comfort food. Thanks again for sharing, will be getting new cd Benny. 🎶🎉🎶💙🎶

[@DenaliDad]

You do realize that Frozen Canals Days are approaching...being without water will not be much fun!

[@philp2088]

Started watching when this channel first aired, now my wife watches as well .My favourite chilled channel alongside 'Country house Gent'.

[@rikkiharcourt3868]

I like The Mindful Narrowboat and The Rum Pirate too!

[@MAnnaYager]

beautiful video with such lovely Benny music to accompany the visual delights!

[@shirleygreaves9650]

I look forward to your vlog every weekend and it never disappoints. You guys get more and more interesting every week. Alan is the star of the show as usual. Take care you 3. X

[@BenandEmily]

Thank you!

[@simonbiggs9102]

New CD ordered 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jonlowing7907]

I can't help wondering how much time and effort you two would save if you towed Rambler on a short, rigid tow bar behind Roisin. You would save on fuel and also, because you can turn it around easily, you could use it to backtrack to fetch the van.

[@alanjohn6355]

Love how you get so distracted by a squirrel, like a butterfly just going from one thing to another. Have to say that despite having no commentary, the Al Cam is getting very entertaining shots. We'll done Alan.

[@dexterfitben]

Squirrel!...lol (ref. Danny de Vito - Throw mama from the Train - Cows!)

[@cb4636]

Great drone work starting about 18:30. All of your creativity seems to grow each vlog you produce. Cheers to you all. Allen is a very independent soul. Love her.

[@denisefreeman2123]

Allen cam!!! I love seeing her whiskers out in front of her as she explores.❤

[@CutterCo]

Been listening the new album today and it's great!

[@BenandEmily]

Amazing, so glad you like it!

[@justinsmith9791]

The music was Excellent,Tripp video edit.. Alan's blogging, Brilliant!!😊

[@emilydrayna2472]

The Alan Cam is great!!

[@planetqwerty]

Emily! Ben! You're late again To fill the boat with water. Now, what's that frown - A tyre's gone down? Now shanks's your transporter!

[@bennyhill4228]

"imma sit on the paniers with ya" now that's 🥰 benny you should propose already

[@bennyhill4228]

Sorry if i got myself in trouble again lol

[@julieblackstock8650]

Love Beans on Toast.. I could eat it every day.. Its the ultimate comfort food in a tin

[@Snowy-96]

Al Cam is wicked 😻

[@nicothechihuahua3167]

Hi guys Great vid as usual. I follow lots of boat vloggers but having watched you from the start i really look forward to your weekly appearance. Benny your music is awsome i need to come and watch you.

[@mikeboone4425]

Benny is a true man you only read the direction when it doesn't work just like me and emery I know. Life is much more fun that way . Staysafe you 2.

[@gary4983]

Love that segment looking down on the two boats from the drone while Benny's music plays--really delightful.

[@racebanning6390]

[@sherlockholmes6990]

I really like the time-lapse stuff. It really gives me a sense of the diversity of views along the canal in sequence. More, please.

[@t-n-tew7468]

Absolutely loved the Allen cam

[@simonbiggs9102]

[@samfoster619]

Love watching you two. ❤

[@missyellingisfun]

"or skipping...or hopping" I almost choked

[@rotinkerbell]

I love Ben's music. It always makes me think of the Moody Blues.

[@davidbell4755]

Dearest daughter.. you asked which were the best bits.. Seeing your smile, Enjoying Alan's cattitude, Giggling at Benny's otherworliness, and his mystic musick. It's almost like being with yous. By the way.. meeting boats in awkward places... geotropism. Or just sod's law. 😘😘 Yo' papa

[@BenandEmily]

Dearest Father, thank you, yes I think sods law haha 😅 love you x

[@MaximusMatthews_123.]

Thankyou again for all your wonderful vlogs I enjoy everything you share I love it all and enjoy when you share what you eat in your cosy boat especially in the winter months I also not forgetting Alan's walk abouts iv always wanted to be able to viewvthe world through cats eyes x

[@dr.chrismort8448]

Loads of logistics to think about when moving. Probably a bit easier when you start your van adventures. Nice music Benny👍. I’m going to have to get your latest album.

[@littlebag123]

I was telling Elon Musk about you three on the canal’s, he replied a very laid back life. I was thinking for from it mate, with all them locks to open and close. Lol.

[@darrennorman1108]

Been in the pub were you are when boating back from Birmingham love your videos such a beautiful couple keep doing what you're doing

[@MrMickjbriggs]

You should buy a pair of Space Hoppers, that would be funny 🙂

[@hansiman1977]

when i was little we got coal in a lorry dumping it of and we had to store it with showels and musels. ther was only cold wather in the thub and a coal stove. my grandmas sister was op at 5 to put coal in the stove so it diddent go out. i loved fiering up in the stove so when i wissited i was a morning guy at 4 years old.

[@WendyVanamburgh]

Thank you, I needed this.

[@BenandEmily]

😊❤️

[@jenesisjones6706]

The drone shot really highlights just how tiny Rambler is!So cute🙃

[@Red-ns9ny]

Wow so many patreons ❤😘 Fantastic footage as you never let us down with so many skills to keep us impressed. Loved the Mr Bean moment with the fender 😂😂😂 love you beautiful souls ❤❤❤😘💕

[@BenandEmily]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@grahamcoffer1720]

[@bennyhill4228]

Rover one over, benny out

[@jacquelinesheskey7870]

[@viking12druid]

I love the Alan cam!

[@sallyannlidtka7290]

Beautiful

[@bazzahead7282]

Loved the cat cam!

[@wendykev5623]

Hi guys we are curious as to why you dont tow Rambler.. it would save some much time at the moment.

[@anniemac3075]

Thank you to Alan for the alternative view of the world xx

[@echoravenrider932]

A great video again. Loving the music too. 🧡

Beautiful vid I love the longer ones

[@Red-ns9ny]

Of course I will absolutely love it ❤😊

[@RetireMentalityChallenged]

It looks like you're finding the rhythm of three vehicles. Looking forward to the new album too. Benny I think Alan needs her own musical theme for her little forays with the camera! Something stealthy maybe.

[@Improveng1]

Nice one guys 😄😄😄

[@simonbiggs9102]

Wonderful cheerful episode

[@scottlomas5509]

Have a great week ahead guy ❣️
