Hi my wife and I have recently started watching your vlogs. Really enjoyable. Hope you enjoyed your time in Lechlade, our hometown. All the best Paul and Lynda.

Thank you for watching and joining us. We really liked Lechlade and would love to go back again one day.

Hello there, from the USA! I was so saddened to hear that THE Queen had passed, my condolences. I have been watching Robbie on the Naughty Lass and saw you. I thought why not watch them too. You are showing off your country in a way that I will never see it and I thank you for that. England was the one country I really wanted to visit now at 74 I won't be coming. Thank you for sharing. Virginia in Tennessee.

Thank you so much for joining us Virginia, and hope you enjoy our videos. It is a very sad time for us all right now, but we could all learn a lesson from that wonderful lady

This was such a treat for the eyes, your sweet daughter and her beautiful smile, the cute little boats, and the boat with all the colorful healthy flowers, the new hat and the cute gal who wears it, and all the countryside. Very nice!

Newbury is very nice. I was raised there. My Mum was sitting on the river bank collecting signatures to petition the Huge office blocks they wanted to build right next to the locks in Newbury. She managed to establish a society that overlooks development of beautiful places in Newbury. This was all right before she passed away of Cancer in 1972.

Those blackberries looked delicious. Back in the late '70s and early '80s, we used to pick blackberries all the time in Florida (USA). Nowadays, with so much deforestation in America, it's hard to find blackberries anywhere in cities anymore.

To get water from a tap without threads, pickup a plumbing adapter with a rubber fitting with a hose clamp on the faucet and threads on the other end.. commonly needed for rv,s in the usa.

Love the vlogs, open honest and refreshing, as always, so natural. We haven’t got ours yet, still hiring but hope to get one in the next few years as we may be able to step off the rat race treadmill. It’s amazing as life moves on what is valuable. Time together and time to enjoy the scenery. Loved the point Fran made about living in England but have not explored Oxford or Bath etc. It makes me realise the quality of exploring without limits or agendas. Well done you two, living the dream. 👍

I return to England from Australia every chance I get. I hire a car, plug in Google maps and just drive. It's not until to leave that you appreciate what a fabulous place it is. Just driving through beautiful countryside, beautiful coastline, the pubs and churches, it really is an endlessly, inexhaustibly, rewarding way to spend a summer.

Hey Rich, i know this is a few days late, and your post probably not in real time. But i just wanted to give you a bit of warning. Be careful with the pain medication. I've been on them for about 5 yrs and will be on them rest of my life. Take it from someone who knows, super super easy to get hooked. Ok enough soap box. Hope you and Fran have a great time on the K&A

Inspiring vid as usual. We hope to be on the canals as soon as our house here in France sells. Our boat is waiting for us! It’s frustrating not being there but watching vid s like this keeps us looking forward. Like you guys we too have realised how little of our own country we haven’t seen and can’t wait to get back there! Stay safe and hope to see you on the cut...

Well done, we are about a year ahead of you, and did what your doing last year.but we went on to do the river wey instead of Lechlade. That's a reccomend end trip for three weeks.. We spent 6 weeks on k and a first, lovely trip, gets better the further you go, and the longer in Bristol the cheaper it works out. We have. Gold license this year, so doing e a to Bedford , Cambridge etc, now turned round and going to try to get up to where you have just been for the end of summer. Might pass you in sept, but I don't fancy the regent canal mid summer, rivers are best in summer, all other seasons canal.😀

Did you have any problems with the cows at Letchlade. They have a reputation for eating anything off the boats moored in the field and have even been known to put their hoofs on the roofs of narrow boats to eat the flowers on top. Killer cows we call them!
