2 жыл бұрынHi all
In this vlog finally leave Ashwood marina and finally return to where we belong which is back off grid out in the open on the canal. Im going to try to upload vlogs twice weekly from now on depending on network connection. Thanks to everyone who has supported the channel so far. It really helps us to keep on cruising. Me and the boys have been overwhelmed by the kindness. If there is anything that you would like to see in the vlogs or if you have any ideas then please drop me a message in the coments. I am trying my best to improve my editing skills so please bear with me . My brain doesn't soak up new information like it used to these day. Anyway hope you enjoy the vlog.
Take care
Del and the hounds

My three boys back, lovely😀😁. Those locks one handed must be really hard on your back, even made mine twinge just watching. It looks like a beautifully kept canal. Give the boys a nose boop each for me okay? You all look very well, the boys very handsome. You I,m not sure about. Just kidding. Its great to have you back, I look forward to the next one Del. Stay safe😘😘😘🐺🐺.

Thanks Caroline. Nice to hear from you again. Hope you are keeping well. The locks can be difficult single handed especially the really deep ones but it's just part of the joys of the canal system. You just plod on and get the job done. Google Tardebigge locks. Now they were hard work 😊

hello, thank you for the vlog, good you got your boat fixed, i love the response between you and your dogs and the way they look at you wondering what you are doing? just waiting to jump off!! the funny thing is i have the subtitles on and when you say about going to the pub, it comes up as uncle pub!! love that 😂..the P word.. well done for doing locks on your, own hard work o would imagine. can i ask when did you go to Spain in your van and are there any videos? thanks.

Hi Katie Thanks for the lovely comment. I'm very lucky to have my boys. Their my everything. I did do some vlogs on the Spain trip up to the point where I crashed the van and broke my foot. I will do another one at some point to explain what happened. I just need to find the time. The vlogs are on my other channel " Boatdog van traveller". Take care Del and the hounds 🙂
