This will be last vlog for a little while. Just taking a break for a few weeks to get re-freshed for hopefully some better vlogs in the future. Let me know what/ where you'd like to see in the future. Might totally mix things up or I might continue the story I'm already telling. Thanks for all the love and make sure you're subscribed with the notifications switched on, so you know when I'm back. Much love xXx

Good for you, Hannah!! Enjoy your break ❤

[@christinemurphy5118]

Enjoy your break, Hannah!

[@antjee]

Sorry to hear, but understand breakes do wonders to the mind and soul. I hope everything is ok? All the best!😊

[@desktopadventures4031]

Honestly whatever you share I’ll be here on Fridays! Have a great break!

[@TTrigg]

Should do another cruise vlog..or one in either Tenerife or Benidorm

[@joannewilson8000]

We have load shedding at the moment here In South Africa, meaning no electricity for 2 hours, every 6 hours , so husband and I are sitting in the dark watching your vid. ❤

[@HannahRicketts]

Oh gosh! Hope you are ok!

[@stigonetv58]

Yeah loadshedding is the worst😢

[@bethb7965]

Does it happen frequently??

[@joannewilson8000]

SA has had it on and off since 2007. So many years. But got progressively worse over the last 4 years. So we have it every day, some areas up to 4 hours at a time other, like in my area is two hours at a time but happens every 6 hours. But south Africans are adaptable and relisliant. As long as I can make a pot of tea and watch you tube I'm OK. But it has unfortunately crippled our beautiful country.

[@joannewilson8000]

@@bethb7965 yes, here in Port Elizabeth, it goes off for two hours every 6 hours, staggered by suburb. And I work in the next suburb up, so sometime means from when I get up, until 10 tea at the office, we will. Have no power

[@angela64355]

As a child in the 70’s , I remember walking along the road beside ‘Little Venice’ and looking in a window of 1 of those beautiful houses. It was winter, a few days before Christmas and what caught my attention was the most beautiful sight of a dining room situated at the front of the house, all set up for a Christmas dinner . There was a long dining room table with a beautiful long, white table cloth, crystal glasses, porcelain table ware and silver cutlery. There was a fireplace and a huge Christmas tree! It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen! It was especially beautiful, because in those days London was pretty drab. There was a big divide between rich and poor, there were strikes for everything, rubbish piled the streets, electricity strikes left us sitting in the dark and cold of an evening and IRA bomb threats everywhere you went. The good old days….😊

[@adam461smith]

Another fun fact regarding the Black Country; it’s where Tolkien (who grew up in nearby Birmingham) got the inspiration from to create the land of Mordor. Dudley’s black polluted skies were the perfect backdrop for Middle-earth’s most evil setting. Dudley is also famed for having more canals than Venice and being home to the worlds largest teapot.

[@camillepowell5937]

Thank you for reminding us of Tolkien’s connections to the area! Hmmm, Hannah, would a trip to Oxford be possible?

[@erine.5680]

Yes Yes Yes please consider that!!!

[@pinnyloper3434]

And it so happens that’s where most if not all of the Caribbean folks who came via Windrush ended up. Purely coincidental, I’m sure🤔

[@adam461smith]

@@pinnyloper3434 Lenny Henry made a joke of it once, he said they saw the sign's for the Black Country and said; 'Oh look, they've named a place after us, lets get the domino's out'. Then he went full circle and appeared in the new Lord of the Rings TV show, what are the odds!

[@OPalmeiristaOficial]

Little Venice to Camden Town was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had in London!

[@mikestravelshow]

You don't have to be expert on the history of these boats. I'm just happy you showing london through your eyes. Never be to hard on yourself. Have a fab break & hope you can show us the best pubs & Rooftop bars in london in amongst the other stuff you have been doing. Best wishes 🙏

[@user-vx4zx1tf3r]

Hannah, my wife and I in New York love your videos and this is another great one! Little Venice is one of our favorite areas. You really bring London to life in so much detail. We really look forward to your future videos and will definitely have some suggestions of places we'd like to see.

[@SillyTube9]

One of the best summers of my childhood, was spent piloting a narrowboat along the Avon River with my family. It was delightful fun going through the locks, stopping at various pubs along the route for a good Ploughman’s Lunch, or having Afternoon Tea along the banks. Little Venice seems quite nice as well! How lucky you are to have access to such a wonderful neighborhood. All the best from Los Angeles! Keep making videos, we enjoy them a great deal. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 🙂👍🏻

[@stevnor99]

Ah, what an amazing vlog to start your holiday with. Hannah, I know you are very conscious about the duration of the vlogs, but I could have watched another 30 mins of this. It's seriously awesome!! Enjoy your time away from us. You shall be missed. Just keep doing exactly what you do... or what you enjoy! You're clearly doing something so incredibly right with 112K subscribers! Stay safe and love xx

[@becsaw5268]

[@EmmeChatterton]

I lived in London twice and I have still never been to Little Venice... I swear this city had a million secrets and it's true, how could you ever be bored of it while there is still life left in you?? Great vlog!

[@jj-if6it]

me too?!

[@MrFirebladenut]

A HUGE thank you @HannahRicketts for your dedication to bring us the best content every week. Wishing you a harmonious break. You definitely deserve it 🤗

[@brettthomas3908]

We love your content. Keep it up. We will be in London in September and much of our itinerary is based on things we have seen in your vlogs. All the best. Brett and Michaela from Gisborne Australia

[@annettescott5884]

I started watching your vlogs during lockdown - got totally fascinated by all the Disney ones - but my favourites were the lockdown walks around London, so this looks quite familiar! So lovely to see how it’s come back to life. (By the way, the Black Country Museum is a really brilliant day out!). Hope you have a good rest - we’ll miss you though! xx

[@ericbecker710]

As I watched I felt like singing MOON RIVER🎶You dream maker, you heartbreaker❤💔--wherever you're going I'm going your way🎶Since we must part--here is my heart--Til we meet again--in June or July!😢 By the way, the photography quality for this vlog was exceptionally good!

[@HannahRicketts]

I colourgraded it.. so glad it looked better

[@camillepowell5937]

I am utterly charmed by the narrow boats and this scenery. I have been here on your channel since before the lockdown. I remember your lockdown walks well. How wonderful to see this area busy and bustling with people again. You have brought us such joy. Have a wonderful break. Bless you.

[@carloschbn]

What an amazing vlog Hannah! All this area of London is really very beautiful. It's so cool to see so many people and cool boats. I didn´t know this canal had so many boats sailing in there, I thought the majority of them were just boats 🛥transformed into houses and restaurants. Have a wonderful break for relaxing 😎, you really deserve it! Happy FriYay to you!!! 😀🌹🏵🌸🌻🌷

[@francescacrivello1600]

Cara Hannah, ci manchi, ci mancano i tuoi meravigliosi video. Ma è giusto andare in vacanza. Ti mandiamo un abbraccio. Franca e Salvo. 👏👏👍👍🍀🍀🍀💐💐💐

[@user-to3ye7pk2p]

Your Vlogs during lockdown were actually comforting

[@ingaborlowski1536]

I saved watching this video for Sunday morning and it was worth the wait. What a super fun video!! Loved the colors of the boats, the atmosphere, posi vibes all around 🤗 😋🙋‍♀️ More of this please, including outings with your nieces now and again….mixed in with your shopping of course. Love the shops. Have a great break and see ya soon 😊

[@LilacRagdoll3180]

Always love your vlogs Hannah.💜😊. You teach me so much about London.🇬🇧 One day we will travel to the UK and just stay put in London ....🌷🌷

Hi from Vancouver Washington. You have done great work. I will visit London because of what you have shared each week. Thank you for making time to show your beautiful places and I look forward to your return. ❤

[@kdean9537]

Hi Hannah, wonderful vlog...so relaxing! You will certainly be missed, but it's so understandable that you need a break! Have a wonderful break! Look forward to your return. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, it's beautiful. Take really good care of yourself, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x (Ontario, Canada)

Come back Hannah! Fridays are not the same without you😥😭😭😥😢 I enjoy anything you post

[@antioxidantsforyou3500]

Hi Hannah, Thanks for this wonderful, fun, flog by Maida Vale, Little Venice and into Paddington Basin. It has such great memories for us because we were involved in a campaign to save the Paddington Basin from being filled in and built over! We are so pleased we were successful and to se it now on your lovely vlog being used in such a lovely, fun way so that people of all ages can enjoy being there for years to come. Very best wishes, Christina and Nick, Crediton, Devon `UK.🙂👋🙂

[@alansebastian2152]

Great vlog subject matter and looking great. Enjoy your rest and relaxation - we all need to rejuvenate once in a while, and it gets tiresome when your hobby becomes job-like. When you get back I hope there is a chance for Hannah to hit the road!

[@auntiegliz737]

Loved this! Will miss your new vlogs but have lots of old ones to see when we need our Hannah fix. Enjoy your break!

[@jamesglass5152]

Hannah you are always so spot on. I love to have your vlogs just playing as a background to my day. You always provide useful bits of insight. My son likes you so much. He thinks you are one of top 5 vloggers in the world. For myself you are #1. Best from Florida

Little Venice is great. I visited it in the autumn last year. So peaceful. Love the boat cafe.

So happy to have stumbled on your channel! I’ve always dreamed of going to England, thank you for posting a peak-a-look into places I’ve always wanted to see. Bless!

[@davidskidmore6768]

Hello Miss Hannah the more videos I watch about your "little" home town I'm starting to appreciate just how massive London is 😳. My home town of Los Angeles has nothing on you guys 😅. Keep those those videos coming, you're getting really good at it... Highly recommend them... CHEERS 🥂🌹🥂

Hi Hannah, I'm going to miss my Saturday morning breakfasts watching your vlogs. Don't be away too long as we will all miss you, I was in London last week and had a wonderful time especially at Camden & Notting Hill. Looking forward to your return have a nice break take care x

[@stephanieevans941]

Great video, Hannah, much enjoyed! How lucky are you to live in that part of London, with all that on your doorstep! I live "oop north" now, but used to live in the Kingston area, so have always loved and enjoyed the river life. My brother worked for a boat builders there, and I always remember how he fell in the Thames on his first day! I also lived in Marlow when much younger, so very familiar with there and Cookham. I went to Great Marlow Sec School. Anyway, always love your videos, and your girly excitement at things you like and enjoy! Keep up the good work, you are very entertaining and provide a great insight into your life in London.

[@quickclipsbyjmj]

Fab video, Hannah. Don't stress about the pictures. All looks great, as usual. You queried: river house = lock keeper's cottage. Barge freight = yes, freight is correct. Crepe or crape? = there's no 'a' in crepe. You're welcome.

This was so much fun, Hannah. Thank you! Enjoy your little break. 💐

[@lakelady57]

Hannah I follow a lot of you tube narrowboat vlogs - Cruising the Cut, Weir on the Move, Robbie Cummings , Country House Gent and it seems a great life. Foxes Afloat included the build of their new boat and it was just fabulous. Minimal List have just outfitted their boat after cruising the entire network over the last few years it has been extraordinary. Some of the those boats look really comfortable and it is called 'canal time' you learn to slow down and appreciate your surroundings/life. Your vlog was so entertaining because you were having a good time and I would love to go to the festival one year if I ever get to the UK. Thank you for sharing.

[@scottfw7169]

Ah, all familiar names! 😁 Also worth subscribing to, Holly the Cafe Boat, they are even raising their toddler on board. And a number of other narrowboaters are likewise worth the time. And the stories of the people, such as Michael and Jo of Minimal List are also interesting.

[@becsaw5268]

Wonderful vlog Hannah, definitely on my bucket list now. Loved it!

[@deeperson478]

As usual Hannah a great video. Thank you so much and enjoy your break. I'll be ready for more tours upon your return. ❤

[@treezshaw]

thoroughly enjoyed this walk with you Hannah! Have a great break!

[@WeAreAllData65]

Definitely a must visit, for me, when next in London. 👍✨ (Though on a much smaller scale, Chester has a most pleasant, city canal walk, up to a series of locks and basin, where enthusiasts have regular meets and social days in the Summer). I love the way the changing seasons reflect on canal life flora and fauna, so always a chance of seeing something fresh. To have that, on your London doorstep, must be FAB! 💖🦆🦉🦋🐝🌼🍂 ✨

[@Nay85]

Great video as always Hanna, we'll miss you over the next few weeks but enjoy your break! Go possie vibes!!

[@scottfw7169]

There at 13:17, the candle powered steam boats, "Pop Pop Boats", they go back to at least the 1890s with record of a patent on the motor system by a Thomas Piot, a French - British inventor. And then they became popular in other countries too.

[@paulhooker469]

Another great Friday vlog Hannah ❤

[@markbrown635]

Thx Hannah for touring the Canal Cavalcade on the May bank holiday in your wonderful area of Little Venice! I remember you vlogging this area during the Covid period & the weather was much cooler, thus a major contrast to see all the people & boat activity on & around the canal! I hope you enjoy your well deserved break, & I certainly anticipate seeing your next vlog upon your return! In the meantime, all the best Hannah & stay safe!!!
