When canals break

[@ashleighmackenzie8670]

Omg, wee Williams “hi guysss” to any crew he comes across en route is so precious I can’t deal 😩😩❤️😢

[@jeansylvester190]

The world could use more of Jo and Vic!

[@ashleighmackenzie8670]

Could not agree more. What a truly likeable couple. I really hope they continue with this channel cause they are just an absolute pleasure to watch. They could post literally anything and we’d all watch it. 🥰

[@nancinowlen3043]

Good to see how the UK is dealing with climate…. William is very delightful

[@jayb429]

Nothing ever seems to faze you guys. You aways manage to turn something not so great into an adventure x

[@firsttankcrews]

Great to see how much William is developing - he's a joy to watch and you are most generous in letting us share your lives. Much love from Hampshire

[@glynnisross7974]

I so enjoyed the variety of this vlog. Seeing you all having fun tenting, plus the farm animals, was fantastic to watch. William really is becoming attuned with all things nature, and it is all down to his wonderful upbringing. I hope the 2 boats are now together following the bridge fiasco.

[@gavinowen6313]

Another great video. I live locally and our house backs onto this canal. The engineers are coming back tomorrow to inspect the bridge but it looks as though the bridge is going to be out of action for another fortnight at least. As a note of info for viewers from previous vids the next two working bridges are the swing bridge that a man and his dog (Inca) helped Jo with, and then the lifting bridge that Jo had to manually turn for it to lift. Apologies from us locals that you’ve not had much luck with these bridges. Love the vids and hope the bridge gets fixed soon.

[@louisajones3535]

Thanks for this info. X

[@FlashGormless]

Still my fav tubers ! Always puts me in a happier mood when I watch your travels.🤗🤗

[@gary4983]

Another wonderful video of a beautiful family. Vic, if you don't mind my saying, it's great that you're wearing a bike helmet but its strap could use a couple of adjustments. It is so loose that, in the unfortunate event of a tumble, it might fly off exactly at the time when you most need it to protect your head, so needs to be tightened. A good test is, if you open your mouth wide and you feel the helmet move on your head, the strap is as taut as it needs to be. Also, if it's like American helmets, there is a little triangle-shaped buckle that looks as if it's riding under your chin at the moment that you need to slide up the strap until it's just under your ear. I hope you don't mind such a nit-picky comment, but I want you all to be as safe as possible on those wonderful bike rides! Cheers, cafe family!

[@maureenlowther7621]

How lovely to have a day and night camping it looked delightful. William is such a lovely little boy.❤️❤️❤️

[@bluesurf9195]

A delightful mid-week surprise! Thank you.

[@jilldavies8546]

I could watch you guys for ages. I'm always sorry when I come to the end of your vlog.

[@twcmaker]

Theyre so good that they could be a good hour long.

[@claren4643]

Ending made me laugh! Thank you, though, for such lovely work!

[@tburnsmatheny]

Thank you for taking us with you on your camping trip. What an enjoyable getaway.

[@lizwilson6633]

Shame you had to suffer with the hayfever. My cousin got stuck for 4 months once up in Scotland when the canal burst it's banks near Falkirk, he spent the whole winter with no electric hook up like he has on his mooring Lovely Vlog can't believe how big William is getting. Was wondering when the book will be released, I've purchased but wondering when you are having them sent out. Take care and hope you get Holly with you soon.

[@georgepaine3909]

Just ordered your cookbook and lovely Holly mug. Whenever he saws your lovely cakes my hubby always says to me you should make more cakes. I say to him the trouble is we eat them which he says that is the point. I will have no excuses now when I get your book. Hope they will look like yours or I will be in trouble😂 How cute is your William love watching you all. Thank you 😘

[@sdole9448]

I love it when these are like love letters to the nature and views in the UK. :)

[@sheilajoseph9953]

How lovely to spend a day / night away from boat camping. William is in tune with nature.❤

[@isnoo1]

Been worried about you two............. Hope all is OK. HUGS from Australia

[@tunnel7]

What childhood memories William will have wonderful keep it up have a great Summer you 3

[@kathleenstraube5356]

Your life is idyllic. Full of freedom. It’s amazing to be able to watch your life. You are incredible people. 😍♥️

[@helenbuckley1606]

Hello lovely family, so enjoy your videos...so sorry you can't get Holly yet, we are stuck in the basin so keeping an eye on her for you 😊. Are you able to come back and make some cakes for us all down here 😅 take care x

[@JohnPeedell]

😢missing your lovely family hope all is good???😢😢😢😢❤❤❤

[@nancinowlen3043]

Thank you,

[@mishkawp8200]

What a beautiful place to camp. Shame about the hayfever - it’s terrible this year! Glad you had a fun time. Hope that bridge was fixed quickly and you could bring Holly through. 😊

[@annieclaire2348]

I love to use google maps to check out where the canals you are travelling on are. Today, when I checked out Bugsworth Basin I was excited to see Holly The Cafe Boat was listed by name and with an orange coffee symbol on the map at Bugsworth Basin! Is that something you can do that I haven't noticed before?

[@richH1625]

Anyone can add a pin for a business. But in my experience Google often add a pin more quickly than they remove it or accept an edit. Some pins have a 'Is this your business?' box(I don't see it here) It's possible Jo & Vic could take over the pin and get edits accepted faster,,, idk. I wonder -where Holly is serving its next coffees -if the creator of the pin will pop back and keep it updated !?

[@frankquevedo3453]

I'm a Holly/Zero & crew junkie! Plus what's going on with the cookbook? I need to bake & eat my attempts at baking a 'Lemon Drizzle loaf,' Bless & All the Best!

[@layalabi1667]

And that was fun!!! Thank you!

[@susannahwhitaker994]

I really love it when you pop up a vlog. You have to be some of my favourite people. Take care 🤗

[@johnmact5548]

Can't believe how William has grown. Reminds me of when my two were little. Great Video

[@Rel1369]

Me too! My pair are now 35 & 37, gee how time does fly.

[@deborahnewton-cook9213]

Great vlog 😊. And the suspense over the broken bridge dilemma !

[@Zoe-hf2uw]

Saw Holly still at buxworth basin yesterday, a lot less busy than when we last came sat and sun. Just checking you seen the crt update on temporary repair.

[@nate8551]

Spotted Holly at Bugsworth and was looking for zero. Now I know why I couldn’t see her

[@MrFroglips69]

You have captured the perfect day in the life look for a narrowboater. Your photography and filming and editor say it all so well. Besides that fact that you all so cute, funny and adorable. Stay safe and stay groovy. PS You are such groovy parents, so loving.

[@wendycrooks875]

Little Fika is a lovely place, we’ve used it a few times, so friendly and accommodating, highly recommend it. I’m stuck on Enjoy Every Moment at Furness Vale, I need to be at Mercia Marina to start my new life as a resident rather than a cc 😔

[@thestu4602]

Local honey supposedly counteracts hay feaver. Thanks for such quality episodes!

[@elizabethjones2088]

So cute to hear William saying hi guys

[@suzieq2958]

Lovely little spot for camping 😀 Jo, I've heard of a cure for hay fever, not sure which is worse though!! Anyway, I did Google it up and apparently, if you stick yourself into stringing nettles to get a few stings, it can if not cure, delay the symptoms for some time. Good luck with that and please let us know if it works. 💜😯😀

[@beckyrobinson5672]

Wonderful video .Thanks I really enjoyed it. Next time.God bless youns.

[@greghilton7797]

I was going to say, if you weren't doing narrowboats I could easily see you lot on a farm. But then Joe's Hay fever spoke. Fantastic vlog as always. Thank you very much. Cheers

[@phreddroberts7154]

Seeing the baby seat on the back of the bike bouncing up and down does William enjoy that. Or do you sing Bouncing up and down in little Red wagon, as I did with my kids :)

[@Mainstayjay]

Tent camping looked like a good time aside from the hay fever. I also enjoy seeing you three bicycling because I commute that way. My three year old daughter loves to ride along with me. Hopefully that bridge issue was remedied. Sending my best wishes to your family...take care.

[@shirleygreaves9650]

Another fab vlog. I hope the bridge is repaired quickly so that Zero and Holly can be re-united. Take care you 3. xxxxx

[@TheSpeartip]

I spent the best part of lockdown in that spot really happy to see you feeding the baby ducks missing the Geese and more hens visiting my hatch. hope they fix the bridge soon

[@chrismarydownes8153]

What a pickle you're in, although you both seem to take everything in your stride, nothing seems to faze either of you. Just been reading about the lift bridge, hopefully it can be fixed before too long. Glad you enjoyed your camping trip, couldn't work out where it was, but it looked lovely. At least you're in beautiful surroundings where you are. Hope things get sorted for you soon. Lots of love. Chris & Mary. Xxx💕

[@moejaime2654]

OI MARRY MARRY DELAYS AND BICYCLE RIDES !! LOVELY VIDEOS KIDS !!! P.S. OLD FART HERE IN KEY WEST FLORIDA ON THE CATAMARAN WITH THE MISSES AND FARTY THE LOVELY PUG !!

[@valyd45]

Good morning Holly family! What a nice camp out. Sure hope the bridge wasn’t out too long for Holly’s sake.

[@suehall3298]

Hope the bridge gets fixed soon loved the camping with William I have been using hayfever wipes they do help the eyes 🤗🍦🍦 Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

[@melindaburch4318]

Love the canal boats. Love your family.

[@Aindriuh]

William's speaking is really coming on ❤

[@penneynoss9552]

Thank you! You are making wonderful memories ❤

[@suzannebudlong8376]

I’ve finally had time to take a few quiet minutes to finish watching, and soon I’ll be heading out to a Powwow. hope you’re having a beautiful day.

[@KCannaQueen]

Da da da da da da da da Holly The da da da da The Cafeeee Boat 😂❤ it's actually quite a charming theme song

[@HayleyCash-c9w]

Hi I live near Buggy basin, my dad had followed you three for so long he sadly passed away in January so didn’t get to see you guys arrive in bugsworth. My Mum told me today that she was really upset because she watched this video and you only left two weeks ago. But it looks like you haven’t been able to move far, is there any chance you’re still around so I can surprise her with meeting you all as it would mean the world to her after Dad passing. She is also purchasing the new cake book as she loves to bake too 😊

[@annh.8290]

Lovely camping spot, sorry the hay fever got you. Wondering when the bridge will be fixed, and do you have a plan for if it takes a long while??

[@mp5421]

Just ordered your cookbook, thoroughly enjoy watching your delicious bakes and journey through life’s ups and downs. Best wishes 😊

[@otter736]

Great Video … Thanks !!

[@suzannewch7202]

Does this mean you will keep Holly in the same spot, a spot you like, until the bridge is operational again? And yes I agree with others, you are just so calm about life’s adversities, I so admire you for this! Thank you for sharing

[@HeidiPriest]

oh my hope the bridge gets fixed soon, and a short hayfevwr season, so funny to hear william correct you

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

Brilliant opening! Loved the video, what a nice place to camp. Thanks for sharing. 😊🤗 Kathy

[@davidjarvis8947]

Hope all is going well with you guys still awaiting your cook book seems forever since I pre order it happy days to you all

[@glenyswood3933]

Missing your lovely vlogs , hope you are all ok, at least you know Holly is being well looked after by the other boaters stuck on the other side of the bridge . Big hug for William x

[@cathyspencer5649]

I’ve been wondering where they are. Are they ok?

[@debentenman2395]

I adore you guys! I look forward to your videos. I have just one suggestion - could you please update your playlist? I was bummed when I got to the end. :) Take good care and keep up the good work.

[@wimcolet]

Good morning's. Nice to have a chatting. Nice camping there. We are the Dutch who stay there to. We rally come soon back and have coffee ☕️.

[@DenaliDad]

Trees falling can be dangerous, to be sure, but there is one more likely and far more dangerous event. Boat fire. I watched a video last winter of narrowboaters seeing a nearby boat afire. Nobody was hurt, and the community came together to help the victims.

[@dingnextstop]

What’s the latest on cook book? Have they been sent out yet?

[@christinedennehy9426]

Great 👍

[@38thfoot]

Feel your pain; misread the CRT update and ended up stopping just short of the bridge, then reversed for just under a mile through bridge 23 and 22 to the winding hole. Said hello to you moored up at Marple opposite the wharf n Friday on our way back to Adlington.

[@bigcmoore]

Love the ending, don't feel robbed at all. That's definitely one way of keeping things fresh.

[@annclark5082]

Fifth, we are on holiday, now in Switzerland 😊

[@HollyTheCafeBoat]

Have a great holiday! 🏞️

[@martykitson3442]

Hope they get the bridge sorted out soon so you can get everything back together, I didn't realize Holly was self propelled, though she was a butty, nice to know

[@shogun666able]

Get Joe a real comfy blow up bed and some nose plugs and I doubt if you will move her again. William seems to have enjoyed the change with a bit more freedom to do his thing. WIlliam is going to have so many things not to forget he won't know where to start and as long as the weather is good camping is always fun. Camping cook book with a camping oven next up Joe?

[@JamesAJBridle]

Another wonderful episode… just for reference… an easy way to tell the difference… goats tails always point up and sheep’s tails always point downward! 😊 you’re welcome lol 😂

[@helensyron6744]

We’ve had those noodles while in England🤣. Lovely to catch up with you - All the best❤

[@elizabethdunn2992]

Lovely video thank you 😊

[@rickonnye2001]

Lovely camping trip 😊nice video 😊thank you

[@christinerigden1403]

We're moored right by Holly, she's fine, been very well behaved. And we're stuck behind the same broken bridge (along with like 15 other boats)! 😕 CRT plan to close the Macclesfield in 2 weeks, I sure hope we can be gone by then, home is at least a week away by boat! Next update, tomorrow (28th). I hope CRT can organise an evacuation!

[@WaterwaySongs]

Good luck with escaping! CRT certainly ought to allow trapped boats down Marple or Bosley locks no matter when they manage to fix the lift bridge.

[@christinerigden1403]

@@WaterwaySongs that seems right, yes. But the lift bridge sounds like a major difficulty, given poor relations with the farmer who owns the land. 😏

[@WaterwaySongs]

@@christinerigden1403 I don't know about the farmer but if the bridge was damaged by a presumably tall vehicle it seems probable that the farmer might be the owner and the cause of the damage. It's not helpful if the farmer is uncooperative. I must say it is difficult to visualise a tall enough vehicle getting down that track.

[@kath804]

William is so bright and talking loads now. Hope the canal is open very soon x

[@Goodchappy]

Hi guys. You just got a mention on Foxes Afloats Live chat about you being stuck. I hope for your sake that lift bridge gets repaired, you try so hard and deserve some better luck. ❤

[@lizzy-wx4rx]

I'm not a narrow boater and don't quite understand what's going on here. Why do they have to camp out..? Can't they stay on their boat even though it's stuck?

[@brodie2711]

Nice one guys, Nice one.

[@minkyjen8283]

I love your videos & the amount of pure nature absorbed by William 😍

[@sandyprosser805]

Great vlog as always 😊

[@maidbloke]

Another great video. Thanks for making cycling look like what it is - an efficient and enjoyable way to get from A to B....it's not just for exercise.

[@jillychandler]

Such a shame about your hay fever Jo, really miserable for you. But it was so lovely that you three could go camping nearby! xxx

[@garyhollywell2112]

We are at Furnace vale marina atm and was looking to go down the Macclesfield but with the bridge being stuck and the possibility of canal being closed we may be stuck ...hope you guys manage with boats either side of the bridge 😢

Sixth! Reading comments, on the canal 📍

[@Claudia_K.]

Haha! Have a lovely day! x

[@scottfw7169]

Around 5:39 when setting up the tent, I wonder if someone offers an adult shirt in that sailboard/sailboat pattern William is wearing? ⛵

[@debentenman2395]

Are you guys okay???

[@realamerican6101]

What a nice place to camp .

[@franktuckwell196]

Easy way to tell difference, Goats tails go upwards, whereas sheep tails go downwards.

[@Wedgedoow]

Sorry to hear Holly has become stuck. Nice to see you at the campsite, the owner keeps bees, did you get any ho ey? Good luck on your future travels.

[@sephirothff7ps164]
