Have We Moored Our Narrowboat in a Safe Place? #225

A big wind storm is coming our way and we need to find a safe place to moor our narrowboat home while we hunker down, but do we choose the right place? Take care 🦋🌻

Oh my goodness! Zephyr hit pay dirt this time! I could almost hear her shouting, Eureka, I found the balls!😂 and then your dismay as she found a way into the river! That was fantastic and Im so glad you got through the storm safely.❤️🇨🇦

Another wonderful vlog which I always share with my 83 year old Mum. She loves them too. But her favourite bit is always the sound of you filling the teapot and the anticipation of what goodies you’ll put on the plate! 😊
Thank you for keeping us entertained. Xx

Zephyr's face when you're asking him if it's a safe place to Moor. Adorable! ❤

[SallyCurrell]

All the storms. What a nightmare. Despite all the concerns, you still find time to enjoy nature and your surroundings. Love it.
Zeph is as just like our lurcher Daisy. She can find a ball anywhere too....🐕🙂.
You had the perfect spot to moor up and ride out the last storm. Instinct and experience xx

You're videos are all very similar but each one is uniquely different. You're life is like a beautiful adventure. I like your videos because I love nature and I love to travel to places I've never seen. Even though I can not do what you are doing, I can get a real sense of what it would be like by watching your videos. I don't think anyone can do what you are doing better than you. I love how Zephyr takes part in all the big decisions. She's your little hairy co pilot.

[jenpersoon]

You are a very brave soul and very kind. I love your poetry and drawings, your videos bring me so much peace!

[MarianneStenberdt]

Love to see Zeph finding balls. I guess she's just as happy with that, as you are with finding the lovely little flowers.😍❤️😍

Your journey is absolutely beautiful. Wonderful artist full of creativity. This is what nature brings out of us all.
Continued Peace, Joy, love, and Prosperity to you. Thanks for sharing

Another masterpiece, …with Crumpets. Stormy canals reminds me of my childhood growing up in the Tropics where houses were built, up a bit on stilts for cooling. A cool space that our Red Cattle Dog, Tom, took full advantage to dig craters in the dirt to cool himself on the very hot days. Over time that under house space took on a moonscape like appearance, which to my engineering mind represented a special opportunity. Because the house had a gentle slope from one end to the other I saw a natural canal system half built ready for completion with a supply of water. So from the tap at the top end, I set about filling the various lakes and joining them together with linking sluices and locks to allow my “boats” to perform their very commercial purpose moving leaves and stones down the system. I had many days of fun with this till my Dad noticed cracks forming in the house walls as it began to slowly sink into the softened earth below. A sad end to my first canal building industrial enterprise.

Between the video and sound, you did a really good job of capturing the feel of being in that storm. When we heard those big whumps, that sounded like someone had kicked the boat, were those wind gusts? It never ceases to amaze me at Zeph's ability to find balls! lol You have an uncanny ability to find birds, bugs and flowers, while Zeph has the uncanny ability to find balls where you would never guess there would be one. Sherlock and Watson would be proud of you two I think. 🙂 Your videos are always good, but this one was especially entertaining!

So lovely- I am also comforted by your tradition of pouring the tea and putting a treat on the plate!

I love your drawings and words as well- so beautiful.

Thanks for sharing!

Glad you survived the storms unscathed. After spending three days in hospital when I really thought I was having a stroke which after loads of tests turned out to be a bad migraine, i really needed to end the week on a happy note watching your wonderful vlogs. Thanks and all the best.

[RobinKenyon-gr]

I'm so pleased for Zephyr (even though that breeze wasn't so gentle😄) that the storm brought her so many balls! ❤ 🐕

I can't tell you, Vanessa, how much I've been looking forward to watching this video. I've been busy this morning, and now I can lay down for a few minutes and enjoy your vlog. I have been watching several of the older videos, and I wish that I had enough money to buy all of your narrowboat journals. Perhaps in the future I will? I've noticed myself since watching your channel, becoming more observant regarding the bird life in my local area and enjoying them more. Sometimes, we just need to SEE and not merely glance at something momentarily. I hope that you and Zepher are well, and I love seeing how much Zepher enjoys her walks AND her balls and sticks. She gives me the laughs I need to rise above the circumstances I live in with disability and chronic pain. I don't know if you are aware of how diverse a group of people you engage with in your vlogs, but I know that I am not the only one who eagerly awaits a new video. It's just so peaceful, and in this chaotic world, truly a breath of fresh air! Take care now from country NSW Australia.

Thank God you were all safe, Ireland is still in a mess, and will be for another week. What a happy doggie ❤

[michaelketley]

I enjoyed the background music and the exploits of the intrepid adventurer Vanessa. Tea and crumpets, yum!

[JaneWillow-od]

So beautiful Vanessa and Zephyr. I feel so much better when I watch your vlogs and feel like I am there. The poetry is wonderful and I love your drawings. Thankyou so much for sharing the beautiful sights and experiences. Seeing the animals and plants makes me so homesick for England.🙏❤️🦉🐕🦋🌳

[johnparkin]

Beautiful images, much love and gratitude.

[Hellsbells]

What a storm it was, our boat rocking a bit, glad your all safe and sound. Zeph is so lovely he really listens to what your saying, dogs are the best.❤
