This Was Long Overdue | NARROWBOAT LIFE

[@hollysmothers3902]

I love watching the two of you - so full of life and positivity. Thanks for being you!

[@Mariek76PTC]

Emily driving and Benny providing musical accompaniment...... seems like a fair division of labour 😄

[@BenandEmily]

Just how we like it 🤗✨

[@James-In-Exile]

That vlog was peak Ben and Emily. The recent breaks have done you both good. Loved the song at 17:29, it was like Early Bowie meets Early Bolan meets Prime Benny. As if that wasn't enough, the shimmering banjo instrumental at the end was equally good.

[@ShinjitsuKK]

Benny playing at the end gave me vibes, love the Doors feel ❤

[@James-In-Exile]

@@ShinjitsuKK I had the same thought - a bit like the intro to 'The End'... but on banjo.

[@ysannejohnson2374]

I just love you two lovely young people. I love how you take on life. Your comments on cleaning windows was really funny and I totally agree. You are so down to earth and I get so much pleasure sitting in my bijou flat watching you.

[@indigowarrioress]

Love everything about your content from beautiful scenery, amazing music,cats and the perfect Duo. Great rocking it out with the banjo at the back of your boat convoy. So glad to see you all back weekly. Tickle to Alan (who looks just like my precious cat Orko rip) Hugs to you both🤗

[@shirleygreaves9650]

Wow great job on the windows, I hope you’ve solved the leak.🤞🏻 I’m so glad that you’re back to regular videos. Alan is super cute. xxx

[@dfree1here]

Oh boy, a festival! Can’t wait! Benny is a musical genius!!!🪷🌹🌷💐🌺🌸🌼🌻

[@craigculver1933]

Not sure if you remember the band "The Travelling Wibury's" George Harrison and some friends. I was very lucky to see them warm up and when George was just smiling and riffing it reminds me so much of you Benny. The peace and joy he spread is the vibe I get from you and Emily. Great music and a wonderful happy video, Thank you for sharing. Peace and Love

[@nopenope6286]

I Am so grateful for your videos❤ Very peaceful to get to see the 3 of you living life on the canals and camping trips in the van. Thank you for all of the sacrifices you make for these videos.

[@firekeeper2005]

Thank you both for taking me on your journey. It is such a nice way to unwind after a long day. I love your music Benny. Just bought my second album. it is all so good!!

[@jennyfulcher8035]

Emily did a super job cleaning the porthole and large windows and they look almost like new. I love the green color you painted on the stern. It really pops! Allan certainly was chillin' as you went about your chores. Loved Ben's banjo!

[@janistotham-davies4300]

What fun you have been having, you are so relaxing to watch, I love you both.❤

[@jenniferpruden4059]

What a busy few days you had. Well done with the work you did on the windows, they look so nice now. Hope the leak onto your bed has stopped. Nice of your friends to help out.🙋🎊. That salad looked nice. Hope you enjoy your 2 weeks off in the van. Take care and safe. Loved Vinnie playing his banjo.🙋🛥️🐾🐈❤️👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

[@Mossywoodland]

You guys are great at looking after your boat. I love Benny’s bluesy track 8mins in, lovely to see how your music continuously evolves naturally 😊 the psychedelic and the folk seem to blended into a lovely musical trip 🤓

[@1dkappe]

Nice banjo stylings. 🪕

[@PianolessonswithMrs.J]

Awesome video. I love how natural you guys are in front of the camera and Benny the fact that you can play all those instruments and put them altogether blows my mind. 😊 I'm looking forward to seeing the festival.

[@David-ze6wu]

Great to see you again . Thank you .🙏

[@davidbell4755]

That was a nic relaxing journey , enjoyed from the extreme comfort of your Uncle Pete's spare room on a Sunday morning. Thank you xxxx

Nice food.......for rabbits! Beautiful film. All those locks would do my head in. But I like watching you two tackling them. Bon voyage.

[@maxiemills6982]

Halfway through the video and the boat looks great!

[@Daytona2]

Hi Ben, Emily & Alan, just wanted to say how great your videos are, really calming and bring so much joy, I'm so grateful for the time you spend making them and sharing your adventures. I really enjoy watching them and always look forward to the next one, thank you. What a lovely couple you are. Take care. 🙂

[@HG-sv5wk]

You really make everything seem right in the world, cheers guys 😊

[@johandemondt8028]

Hammerite paint you don't need first, a base. And is very good against rust

[@sheilajones5487]

This brings back wonderful memories of time on a narrow boat with two of our children doing the Caan locks on the Kennet and Avon.

[@natashab2304]

How gorgeous to be playing the banjo whilst on the move! I would so love to see that in real life!! Well done for the windows and painting - very inspiring as it looks fab 🥰. Next episode looks very exciting - i can't wait 😁💖

[@dfree1here]

What a great surprise! Didn’t expect to see you two so soon!🎉 That salad looks amazing!

[@JulesDeaAquam]

So lovely to have you both back on a regular basis. Love your vlogs. Xxx

[@milesbaigent4534]

Such a wonderful vlog Ben and Emily. Ideal Monday morning viewing in the sun. Thanks.

[@wesandchelle]

What a wonderful episode. Love the music, the videography during the cruise, great work on the projects, and Rambler's flowers are beautiful. Hi Alan.😊

[@NeilBarratt]

Bread salad sounds like my kind of salad. "Sprit of Phoebe" looks like an interesting little boat. I love the unusual boats you photograph, especially the small ones.

[@johandemondt8028]

The windows look much beautiful now. Almost as new

[@dr.chrismort8448]

Nice video and great accompanying music👍

[@NotMolly-jf2rh]

Toasted bread, garlic.... Mmmmm we call that croutons here. Very special. Wonderful!

[@christinehammell6365]

I love the DIY on this video . Imagine meeting you guys with Benny on the Banjo . We'll be on a hireboat next week. Enjoy your festivals xxx

[@eon498]

FAB CAN'T WAIT FOR FESTIVAL OOOOOOOO😮🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

[@sometea4741]

Beautiful filming and captures of life around the canals. The locks look both gorgeous and daunting. The stone bridges and water falling into place..wildlife and wild lives.love the collage of Emily working her magic on the boat and around the locks. What a team! I'm so happy to be able to watch and listen to your channel from the Pacific northwest. Home of the Haaidaa, of giant red cedar, killer whales and kernode bears.

[@sometea4741]

There was m&s in Calgary Alberta..middle of the prairies Canada..only one ive seen in Canada tho.

[@carole3734]

Fab work on the windows and boat you guys! Love the cooking and music...always finding a new favourite tune of your Benny! ....hope Emily got an M and S treat sometime!😊

[@mommahil4323]

thank you for cheering up a rainy shut-in day. you two are sunshine whatever the weather's chucking at you. really felt for Emily over the M&S sunday closing - poor girl was salivating at the prospect!!

[@DIYGUY1-2-3]

Nice job on the window frames but aluminum oxidizes and will get a white powdery surface on them, a clear lacquer coating will help seal them. 👍

[@racebanning6390]

Benny said thats a Refined salad....😂🤣😂Priceless! Lol Lots a Fall chores completed, well done, all supervised by the Cat of few Words.... 😋😋Safe travels ya all. 🤙🤙🙏🙏

[@caroledrury1411]

I watched your adventures for over a year now...the twe of you are amazing... Lazyness has prevented me from finally subscibing to your Chanel... I wish you every success in your future adventures.. You have inspired me to check out the world of long boats..it's become a bit obsessive to me now.. I live in Sydney Australia..we don't have canal networks like you do in the UK.. But I tell you if I move to Briton canal boats will be something I will look into.. Benne love the sounds mate..pink Floyd yup I get that.. Your music is interesting and sensitive to listen...keep em coming mate.. Regards Will

Another interesting video, well done. The being towed part was funny. Nice banjo outtro.

[@anneoxford7009]

Have you ever used washing up liquid for cleaning your windows its marvoulous .use a wet cloth and washing up liquid .Then dry the windows of straight . The windows will gleam 😊

[@anneoxford7009]

Dry the windows straight away X Annemarie

[@beauthestdane]

Marks and Spencer are in a variety of countries. Here in the US they are more of a clothing store, with some British foods available.

[@gerryryan1372]

Hi you 3. Yaaa you did it again xxx

[@BenandEmily]

🤗 Thanks for watching 🌟

[@h.rutten2187]

Should you guys ever renew the paint job on the side of the boat then maybe consider welding on some eyebrows above the windows. Just a few simple strips two or two and a half inches above the square windows going halfway down the sides ending at one inch out with rounded bottom edges. And half circles also coming outwards for two or two and a half inches on top of the round windows. And also cut them back one inch as they go down halfway. Like the shape that you will sometimes see sticking out on an old motorcycle headlight. It’s a relative simple fix to keep the windows from ever leaking again and it ads character to the boat.

[@paultomlinson528]

Lovely people

[@jeansteele6586]

Nice to see you again ❤

[@frankquevedo6001]

A ‘Marks & Sparks?’ Here in No Cal there are NUGGETS ($$$$): RALEYS($$$$), Safeway (the same$$$)😝😡no thanks. P.S. you three, adding Ben, are a real pleasure to view! Carry on the Cut!

[@donbush6702]

Hi Ben & Emily, We enjoy the show and wht sourdough bread you bake looks delicious and we wondered wether you could share your method and recipe. many thanks Don. ps keep up the good work.

[@astronorthwet636]

Those will tarnish again very soon. If you want them to stay like this do a fresh steel wool scrub then put a clear coat spray or brush over the aluminum.

[@kevinthebespectacledpilgrim]

I agree. I think I would also have tried a Dremel with a fine wire brush and taped off around the frame-unless they had to come out cos of the leak. Good job though.

[@JeannetteCoe]

Well done cleaning the windows!

[@christopherbutler7588]

Nice work on the boat 🚢 😊

[@jaybee8547]

I've been to M&S Hong Kong (1994), believe I've seen one or more elsewhere...🤔

[@user-ps8fl2hy5p]

11:00 "Toast salad" 😂

[@BenandEmily]

😅🤣🤪

[@evelynsutton4411]

Toast salad is a thing - it has got a fancy name but l can't remember what it is. l think it is ltalisn, probably involves olive oil on the bread.

[@loopy-o7e]

love the background Acoustic sounds x

[@jamesfrankie]

A lovely video, particularly the banjo at the end.

[@jaybee8547]

I'm pebbled/rocked & so know this is not meant harshly - Benny please attend to the mullet. PS loved your banjo ditty.

[@ColinWetherelt]

I quite liked that. Thankyou

Check out wrekin gravity filter cartridges when those in the "Berkey" are due for replacement.

[@brianclark2370]

Hi.Ben and Emily nice to see you working on your house boat and ben I like your music from Brian w.germany

[@davesandall4530]

@ 18:28 a photo of that would make a great Happy Mondays album cover

Toast salad 😂😂😂 you should have said they were croutons!
