This is a game changer

Travelling around on narrowboats is excellent fun, but we're enjoying being settled at the boatyard for the time being. As far as the cafe is concerned it's a game changer.
Huge thanks to the Patreons for making the videos possible. We honestly couldn't do it without you.

[@hectordetectorist6919]

Your videos are a real joy to watch, you all have a talent for bringing such warmth into our lives. Never underestimate the effect that you have on so many people's lives. I'm glad that you have settled back into boat life and have found a place that you like. I look forward to a coffee one day if I am passing.

[@ashleighmackenzie8670]

Yes. They’re are an extremely likeable couple. Both of them. That’s quite rare these days and especially on KZbin. Usually one is irritating or too much. But they are SO well suited and have such lovely natures 🥰💕

[@user-my4pl1ek8s]

You two are such great parents, raising a great kid.

[@mazingmumma1]

William's speech is so good .... beautiful little man❤

[@pdxyadayada]

..and I never get tired watching you guys. I can’t imagine ‘sharing my life’ like you guys…..but you’re the younger generation. My hat’s off to you..

[@canadiangirl]

Loving the sunshine! William is such a sweetheart! Thanks for the giggles. His grasp of language is brilliant! Love watching you bake! That tart looks amazing.

[@deborahreynolds1552]

And that Stout cake.....Wow that looked yummy!

[@sianwarwick633]

Oh yeah​@@deborahreynolds1552

[@jaynecopland]

If I may be so bold as to say…you three look so happy to be back on boats! As always, beautiful vlog!

[@pdxyadayada]

Having watched you over the years, it’s so fun to see William grow…and you guys working so well as a family. Yay!

[@deborahreynolds1552]

He is so adorable!

[@40bdg]

That Mrs. Doubtfire bit was hilarious! 😂

[@francisbianchi8043]

What a lovely little boy William is.he is a credit to you both 😘

[@DenaliDad]

I must say watching that wee lad grow up on the canals is one of the primary reasons I am here. And the food lust. Yes, I admit I have a bad case of food lust...especially blackberry tarts, big guns and all!

[@janebaker966]

Very absorbing vlog,this one. What a superb childhood for William. Nice to see your lives and business moving forward.

[@susannahwhitaker994]

How adorable is William and what a great life you are giving him . Such a lovely family 🤗

[@janeingram7331]

I am so impressed with William's English. He speaks so well and in the right tense. He is a smart little boy. I love the rhythm of his speech. Wish I was in the UK to taste your cakes. Jane, Philadelphia

[@revonda5204]

I agree, but I'm in Virginia! 😊

[@goldiepearlnecklace6150]

Ok I know you have probably been told this before but you REALLY REALLY should enter the Great British Bake Off…you are truly a Star Baker

[@sianwarwick633]

I think Vic's video skills and Jo's skills are better than bake-off Britain, honestly

[@allanlaberteaux9294]

The Mindful Narrow Boat gave you a shout-out as she passed by you a couple of episodes ago. I recognize your new mooring from her view. Nice to see the boats cross paths.

[@gailponder4980]

William has a great laugh,you guys should be very proud of him ,his speech is amazing..

[@carole3734]

I'm amazed Jo can make frangipane after 9 at night! And it looked fab! Lovely to see all your boatyard duties, and the lovely skies over White Nancy. Great to see your videos again! William is growing up so quickly, hope he enjoys growing up on a narrow boat with all the joys of simple pleasures❤.

[@nick.caffrey]

Why do I feel that that rental boat will be ultra-clean and fresh! It is so thrilling to see William loving exploring the world. It's oddly reassuring. He's so lucky with his parents. Honestly, this channel is like having well-regarded friends pay a visit to my home.. Much love to you all. That blackberry confection looks addictive!

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you for the entertaining and well-produced video. The baking I am sure is excellent, but the parenting is superb. What a lucky child Will is!

[@gerardosullivan1642]

It is great to see the community spirit between you and the boatyard William will be a great leader bringing people back to and living with nature. Ye are great parents.

[@kenc2707]

I can’t believe I’ve watched your little one grow up!

[@nigelh3253]

You both work very hard and especially with the baking and coffees. You deserve every success. Nice video

[@lyndaplancarte4895]

My personal observation is that you seem very happy back on Zero with your family. Great to see you and Jo working together and raising William who is growing and learning so quickly!!

[@paulyoung6165]

[@user-nt8ck4zg4z]

Lovely to see you so settled back in your boat life. Really good that you are able to help out around too. You all looked much happier on the water.

[@kathleenstraube5356]

Lovely. A video of positivity, family love and appreciation, atmosphere and gorgeous views portraying a family that works together and stays together. Love what the 3 of you do for inspiration. ❤

[@Peterraymond67]

Hello, you pop up in the strangest of places. Last Thursday I was having my triweekly dialysis session when the TV above my dialysis bed was showing a canal boat with cakes, suddenly you and the lad appear. No sound unfortunately and I had just lost battery on my tablet at the end of my 4 hour session. Found it back home on Channel 4 catch up, seen only programme 1 so I shall keep the rest until perhaps this Saturdays session so I nan find something else to enjoy passing the 4 hour dialysis. The cakes look great, especially the Guiness cake!. Reminds me of a lad I worked with. His girl friend had died his black hair very blonde, and he came into work dressed in black tee shirt & trousers. For months he was known as Guiness.

[@elf5012]

Oh, that frangipani tart looks scrumptious. I just baked your fabulous lemon drizzle loaf recipe today, which is delicious. I serve it with whipped cream and sweet, sliced fresh strawberries. William is getting so big; he is such a cutie, and what a vocabulary. Congratulations on reaching White Nancy; what a view.

[@bkrerin]

I love your new direction. It looks good on all three of you.

[@patrickmclead5534]

So glad you showed us White Nancy. You guys are my tour guide of places I will never see in person. Thanks Keep living the dream .

[@jmitch5161]

Joyful as ever 🙏🌞

[@user-ut1uu1vf1d]

Hats off to you guys. You such a hard working couple. Wish you the best.

[@helenbarron1729]

Vic, Jo and William, as soon as I turn on your next vid it brings a smile to my face, you just ooze wonderfulness. You are all so caring and manage your boating life so well. I really admire your achievements. When I’m up your way later in the year a visit to sample your wonderful cakes Jo is definitely on the cards and your coffee too Vic, of course. Take care and lovely to see you again enjoying life on the water. Helen & Barney 😀🐕‍🦺

[@minkyjen8283]

Loved that! Espesh the bouffantu- bouffanteeee 😂😂

[@ajohnson2381]

Victor now in his element - messing about with boats😄Joanna, you should have your cook book or tea towels for sale again, impulse buys and all that. Best wishes to you both and your lovely Boy.

[@hughcrawford1978]

Thanks for the update. Its always encouraging seeing peoples pathways through life. The permanent location for Holly and having a base must allow you to build on your circle of friends and feeling of community. What a great outcome. All the best

[@theconfessionsof_a]

It’s a really steep climb up to White Nancy, I always find that I bump into someone, just as I’m coughing a lung up.. Love your White Nancy description ‘Ice gem’ not quite what the locals call it, but I prefer yours. Cheers Al and Kate, Higher Poynton.

[@micbite]

Such a calm couple. Lovely people

[@user-ep4zj6kt9t]

Hi guys, it’s good to have you spike. I really enjoy your videos and I’ve missed watching them. I hope you are all keeping well. I love you both. Keep up the good work.❤

[@lyndaplancarte4895]

Jo...you kept saying you weren't good at pastry. Have to tell you that my Mom used to make the flakiest and tastiest crusts!! So after I got married I asked for the recipe which she provided. I made a pumpkin pie from fresh pumpkins and wondered why I had so much pumpkin mixture left over after I put the pie in the oven. Pie looked wonderful and tasted great but noticed the crust looked thick. She called the next day to see how my crust turned out...well that's when I found the recipe was for 2 pie crusts and I had shoved it all into one pie plate...only made that mistake once but we had a good laugh!!

[@MrFroglips69]

Another groovy episode. Perfectly shot and edited. Fantastic color quality; almost looking 3D at times. The Queen of Baking. Your beautiful, tasty looking pies and cakes drive me crazy. Running all the way up to White Lady and then doing 59 push ups. WOW! I sort of ran from our bedroom this afternoon to the kitchen for a cup of yummy coffee. I did however, walk back to the bedroom. LOL! William is fast growing up with a lovely laugh and a beautiful personality. He will no doubt grow up as groovy as you two.

[@PontiacS.]

William is starting to look like his Dad.

[@lesmumford8426]

I do love when kids get to that point of having a good time that they are helpless with laughter. It was great watching William. He is at work a really special age. Good luck.

[@paisleyjane9606]

You two have acquired a lot of boat-related skills. I don't think you planned this particular boatyard career path, but hey, it works!

[@jstokvis]

These videos just get better and better

[@jackirichards8789]

I've enjoyed watching you on the Narrow Escape! Brilliant!!

[@chrislord1640]

As the father of a 4 year old, listening to William speak is just so heart-warming and emotional. Reminds me of Olivija when she was a bit younger. He is such a joyous kid! I have quite a bit of catching up to do on your channel (about 4 months worth!), so looking forward to binging this weekend! :)

[@ranarentz1124]

I love watching William grow up! Such a sweet little man! I'm sure he has his moments but still a beautiful little guy! You both look happy on video I hope that you really are and it's not just all an act. Life is to short to live it for someone else, if you follow my meaning! Great to see you all!

[@user-pk9ez7rs2w]

You look like an English George Costanza, shuffling those boats.

[@sandyprosser805]

Hi all what a lovely video, William is definitely the star of the show, he is adorable and very funny. Enjoy your week. 😊

[@crazyduck1254]

I live all the way over the ocean in australia. We dont have anything like this, the rich history of the canals. I’d give anything to join my English ancestors from the west country and later towards the 1800s in London, Middlesex regions, and Little Chelsea. Really enjoyed a glimpse into your lives here. Thank you.

[@fionacrowe9216]

Yey! It’s great to see you’ve found a place on the boats that works for you all!

[@ruthieclarke9125]

Absolutely loved another peek into your magical lives. Thank you!

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Yours is an adorable family! This is a fine look at what makes a canal cafe boat.

[@colinevans39]

Great watch lovely people 🙏😊

[@christineprice5463]

Beautiful site. William is so adorable! Have a lovely weekend.

[@arthurraymond6239]

That was a Banger⭐️😊👍

[@albyrd1271]

At my age I would have just been happy to make it up the stairs. Forget the running or pushups congratulations.

[@marlenehughes7446]

Hi this is a special thank you for your great blogs and to say it was a pleasure to meet you today your cakes and coffee are amazing just a shame we don’t get the opportunity to meet your beautiful little film star William take care and much more success with your business🎂

[@beckyrobinson5672]

Im so thankful youns are back. Hi William.

[@sianwarwick633]

Thanks for showing us your whole whole thing. Jo, you have the skills ! And the endurance to get it done for Holly. Good-lookjng frangipane tart - I'm impressed. It's pretty early where I am, the birds are twitching in the trees. Have a great weekend. William's the energy boy and that's cool. Good 🌄 job Vic with your running 🏃‍♂️👏.

[@qwertysds]

Feel like that rental boat is now very clean. Back in the 1980's used to work turnaround Saturdays at Butlins collecting bedding for the laundry.

[@mishkawp8200]

Wow, running down that hill in the near dark must have been tricky! Well done you. Goodness you work so hard Jo - cleaning as well as baking, looking after William and running the cafe. Wonder Woman!! I love your vlogs. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@johnland5042]

I continue to enjoy your weekly videos of life on the cut. I'm familiar with the area you are in as we kept our boat near there for 6 years. Wonderful times. Thank you!

[@susanlampshire639]

I love hearing owls too ☺️

[@Andyc515]

Looks to be a lot of hard work but you have fun too,great vlog guys 👌

[@user-xm1cq6es9b]

Glad you Loves have a nice mooring😁

[@dianetanski464]

I love your quirky sense of humor, Vic. I come from the land of smart alecks. William is so cute! AND Jo’s baking would make me gain 10 lbs, it all looks so delicious. I am debating on purchasing a cookbook. At least a mug.

[@1954F]

Hard butter through a garlic press works too. ❤🇨🇦

[@investigativeresearchcounc8388]

So happy you guys are back at sea!! sail on mighty cafe sail on!

YEAH so glad i found you on YT watching you on 'narrow escapes'🤣 great teen memories on a narrow boat holiday .. you are living the dream! beautiful family 💗

[@grahamchapman9415]

Glad to see you back guys, i have followed you from the start of you both renovating Holly , but fell by the wayside when you moved into the house. I feel Joanna is thinking about a bigger boat Victor 🤣

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

Happy Mothers’ Day 🇨🇦 ❤

[@maidbloke]

Love you lot! The water seems to be your natural environment. ❤

[@user-ud4ns9sm6b]

Oh man you’re all so lovely, a great watch 🥰 Now please don’t be offended but you say you’re not so good at pastry so here’s a tip although I don’t know what facilities you have on the boat but if you make the pastry and freeze it in batches or at least the day before you need it it’s much easier to handle, it works cos I’ve been making pastry ( for my family) for about 60 years, I wish you all the luck in the world x Jean H

[@nancyspringston8547]

enjoy visiting with you so much.

[@Sonnet792]

Oh man!!! I just enjoyed a blueberry scone with my coffee for breakfast, but I would dearly LOVE that tart recipe!

[@jackirichards8789]

Wonderful sunset from White Nancy!! X

[@user-xn6lg2kk2v]

Loved watching you guys on channel 4 this week. The best of the bunch so far.

[@clivebuckland6902]

This is a lovely vlog as usual. I really admire your commitment to your lifestyle. Jo your baking is amazing. Thank You for sharing

[@gail9906]

Im just sitting here watching and thinking, William will either love or hate the canal when hes older. I think he will love it and stay on the canal. Its hilarious, when William giggles so do I. Its infectious. Im off now to babysit my 3yo Grandson. Its lovely sharing snippets of your lives. All the best at the boatyard. 🧸❤️🇦🇺🦘

[@coralraven4780]

Love watching your vids, it is inspiring me to sell my flat and live on a canal boat. I am a very young 70 yr old lady and so a little apprehensive, but watching you two and your positive confident attitude is so encouraging. You are beautiful people and a joy to watch. I would love to find you one day for some cake!!

[@patrickgillespie3657]

I've lived on one theses boats brilliant 2 years of life was sad to leave 😢

[@deborahnewton-cook9213]

[@dingnextstop]

Well done Vic! I was puffin just watching you… mind you I’m 72 and presently suffering with an enormous Kidney Stone so even walking is extremely uncomfortable… I love your little family set up, I think Jo is a wonderful mum to William and a brilliant enthusiastic cake maker, I hope both yours and Jo’s parents are very proud to have such switched on motivated son and daughter, hi to Sweet William… 😊

[@irenedavo3768]

Sounds painful

[@dingnextstop]

@@irenedavo3768 the pain at certain times is indescribable and demands very strong painkillers. The PCNL procedure has a long waiting time due to very few consultant surgeons

I can't believe how William is growing I was watching narrow escapes and then you see a vast change

[@lynnedouglas4065]
