So when can we expect a new "Cooking with Kevin"episode?

Thanks Kevin for acknowledging "Rose Of Parbold" in TBN video: "Six Things You Didn't Know About CHG." This charity provides a safe, friendly canal boating experience for people of all ages with disabilities and other special needs. Those people will have the same opportunity as anyone, for an "amazing life experience" on the UK canals. Seeing the "Rose" in your video, had a special meaning for my family. Discovered the "Rose" because of you Kevin. Thank you, "Gent of the People." The "Rose Of Parbold" has wheelchair access throughout the boat with ramp entry.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson stated, “The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood.” You are a true lover of nature thanks for sharing the scenes.

Finishing work in 15 mins, this will be just what the doctor ordered on the London commute home. Have a good weekend Kevin!

1:55 When I saw the front hull of that old boat "Rebekah" being used as a sign holder, it finally dawned on me after all these years of watching narrowboat videos: It finally clicked as to why I don't like the classic decorative patterns of the old days as that has. The costume of the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when he's handing out the candy, etc 20:40 How appropriate. Lion tiller pin for a boat named Aslan.

Some really grand houses Kevin and even more lovely scenery and how gd of the guy to give you the Asian tiller pin will use it and the cuddle lion too people are so kind I wish we could cruise with u but I guess we do in a way by watching your lovely vlogs tc keep well Ann nDavid👍😉

Truly the best of England. I am impressed by the kindness of strangers.

Gorgeous country side. So relaxing to travel this by narrow boat.

Hello Kevin, I’m watching your videos start to finish for the third time. I particularly like this episode as I am a Staffordshire girl born and bred though now in Devon (no canals😔). Keep well and happy and Aslan, keep on chugging!

Hi Kevin 👋 just us 2saying hi 👋 and thanks again for very enjoyable video update 👍 den and sue keep safe say well and enjoy your lifestyle and travels 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚌🚌🚌

How appropriate for Aslan the pin & fur. Stone looked lovely

A very passable Peter Criss, but I don't blame you for not attempting a Geddy for the Tom Sawyer boat. great fun...cheers.

I wish this country would of saved their canals like you gents have, I relished your video with a couple of cheeseburgers and coffee. Thanks Kevin, cheers Charlie from Pennsylvania!

I hope you understand the amount of envy you cause those cows to have when you mooo at them. I'm sure they're thinking: "Hey! Why does THAT cow get to have a narrowboat?!"

Kevin, greetings from New Jersey and thank you for an especially engaging episode! The scenery is gorgeous and I especially enjoyed seeing the animals -- hearing your cow impression always makes me laugh. I think we'd all like to hear you sing (and play guitar) more; you certainly have an encyclopedic knowledge of genres, but no pressure. Glad to hear you're taking a little break--you deserve it. We don't want you to get burned out! Cheers!

2 words Kevin, Bloody Brilliant.

Have to agree with you Kevin that was one beautiful journey you shared with us this week. Thanks for taking the time and effort to take us along. Best wishes, Deb

Who would have funk it, the Trent & Mersey being so picturesque and wealthy? Thanks, Kevin delightful ride along. Cheer's

“And I'm movin' on, movin' on from town to town” - Ralphs. Man I do love the perpetual motion! Moovalous.

Crikey Kev you can only have been just ahead of us going down the T&M - we were looking out to say hello but you obviously, wisely, outran us 😀

You have a good eye for what is interesting for us to look at. 👍

I love that old "Buda" putt-putt! Reminds me of those old one-lung engine crabbing boats on Lake Pontchartrain from waaay back!

9:52 " there's no substitute for a bit of clean, fresh air, greenery, and the sounds of Nature"...accompanied by the lovely view of an Amazon delivery van speeding by on the roadway!

Wow! This was the perfect balm for a rather stressful Friday. I think I watched your whole video with a smile. I particularly liked the cow who yelled something cheeky back at you as you were sailing away. Thanks for working so hard to make all of our Friday afternoons peaceful and pleasant. Now it’s your turn. Enjoy Great Haywood 😌

Loving the new series . Nice and relaxed . Thanks Kevin. Saves me a fortune and time I've not currently got but can still enjoy !!

Haven't seen this one yet as my wife and I just noticed you are back on and we're catching up on the videos. Always enjoy watching them! - Massachusetts, USA

Hello from West Texas-- I realize this is your JOB Kevin, but I could watch this kind of scenery with the background of birds & Aslan's chugging for hours. I swear it brings my blood pressure down 😄 Enjoy your break - burnout not allowed so take as long as you need - we'll see you on your next trip. P.S. Love the gifts, perfect for Aslan.

That was an amazingly beautiful stretch of canal. Thanks Kevin for sharing.

It is difficult, no, imPOSSible to know the time that passes on the canal side when following a narrowboat channel. When you moor up and we see you set your mooring pins, you could moor up for a week, a couple of days or 15 minutes. Occasionally we can rule out 15min if the sky is significantly different but that is the only solid clue we have. To hear you say you have been working the canal(s) for 7days a week is mind boggling! The first reason that it is baffling is because there is no rush (to my knowledge) to be anywhere within a certain amount of time. Why push yourself? Somewhere while following you around the UK, I got old. Not sure how it happened. So I am outside the window of pushing and spend what time I am not doing something by doing nothing. You have a few decades yet, before you realize the benefits of the occasional break. In the meantime, the occasional break insures that you have the ability to continue your videos for many years. Hopefully, I will still be watching your videos. GOD willing, we will both be around another 30+ years! How incredibly thoughtful of that gentleman to pick up a replica of Aslan’s namesake and even more that he was able to locate and then decided to purchase that tiller pin. You touch so many hearts, Kevin, and what a generous and thoughtful man! Great video! I hope your break doesn’t keep you off KZfaq too long but however long you are away, keep well, enjoy your time off and I hope you spot something that gives you joy at least twice each day. Ta!

Lovely looking bit of canal that Kevin. I have lived outside of England going on 23 years now and have been fortunate to have lived in several beautiful countries, Canada, far north of Japan, southern India and now Austria and can say with experience that the UK’s landscape is almost unique ( almost as Ireland is very similar) and in the countryside very beautiful still thank goodness! I always tell friends in the countries I have lived, spend one day only in London then go out and explore the UK’s countryside and small towns and villages as they are far more interesting and beautiful than London could ever be. All the ones who have done so have come back raving about the countryside and to a person said one day in London was more than enough and that when they will go back they will avoid it like the plague! As to silence, I am so lucky living in the Vienna woods and by the Danube as at night it is absolutely silent, people in small villages in Austria tend to not be out late I have found.

It's great to have your vids back on a regular basis Kevin! I always look forward to some quiet and peaceful time with you and Aslan when I see that notification!

Hi Kevin! The scenery on the Trent& Mersey is truly stunning.

Oh and great Tom Waites impression!

Lucy meets Aslan - how appropriate!

Almost as relaxing as actually being there.

Very enjoyable, lovely weather, beautiful scenery, birds singing. What more can one want. Loved the town Stone. We all need a break sometimes, so enjoy! 🦁🙂

Hi Kevin. Thanks for another episode of Travels By Narrow Boat. My wife and I enjoy them all, as we are avid boaters, albeit a different type of boating on Lake Michigan. We also enjoy small lakes, rivers, and canals. One suggestion for you as far as a generator. I'm not sure what your power needs are, but there are some very quiet inverter generators around 2000 watts to 2500 watts, that weigh about 50 lbs. We have a 3500 watt inverter generator sold by Harbor Freight we use for our camper, which is very quiet, weighing about a 100 lbs. There are various makes, Honda being the most expensive, but very good. There are many youtubes comparing and rating these inverter generators. They are much safer for electronics as well, because they maintain a constant sine wave. .

Great work, Kevin. I used to look forward to a Friday night out, now it’s a Friday night (or Saturday or Sunday) in to watch TBN! With a cheeky ale, of course 😉🍺👍🏻😎

thank you mr.shelley for providing us with a peaceful and serene video ,we loved it. cheers ; ]

such a peaceful installment!! beautiful green country vistas, posh-looking homes, augmented by Aslan's powerplant ticking along -- have to agree with your statement that this was some of the most picturesque scenery you've shown us -- don't blame you for wanting to take a rest, it's an ongoing indulgence for an old-timer like me (slightly older than the Petter McLaren B2 ) -- looking forward to next week's post...

Hope all is well...All the best, Mr & Mrs Neil.....

Thank kevin, makes our family day watching your videos. Such a beautiful area.

Wow what a beautiful canal! enjoy your break! ❣❣❣

I really enjoyed the beautiful scenery in this episode. Speaking in "KZfaq time," I hope that you have some enjoyable days off.

Great vlog Kevin, been passed that pub in Stone many a times on the road to and from Glossop 😍

Seriously good vlog….thanks ...all the best...Chris 🇨🇦

Thanks Kevin. Have a great weekend.

Hello from North Carolina USA. We have thoroughly enjoyed watching your travels over the past few years! Love seeing the beautiful countryside.

Another narrowboat YT once said there was a section of canals where you can go 70+miles without a lock. That would be for me. I am lazy.

Well, I've immediately time travelled from your Living Alone Doesn't Have To Be Lonely (on a narrowboat or anywhere) . . . in 2018 to present Episode and am so pleased to see that you are still enjoying it five years later. I can only dream... Good luck! 63,983 views Oct 13, 2018

Nice video… beautiful locations. Thanks for sharing!

Sunshine, beautiful scenery, & some wonderfully sung Kiss!! Well done, once again! Thanks for taking us along!

Hi Kevin! Hope you have had a great week! I have saved this to watch this evening when I get home from work! I love Friday's ❤Best to you from Tam and Mike in Oklahoma, USA!!

Oh, Kevin, old son, you just made my week! Thanks a mill for these lovely videos. The English countryside is sans pareil as the Fwoggies would say.

Hi Kevin. I’m really enjoying the countryside around Stone. It certainly looks like a nice place to live. Hope you did manage to take a break for a while. Take care. Nick

it was the lyrics that made me Subscribe 🤣 thanks! 👏🏽

Beautiful vlog. Enjoy your break. We be looking forward to your return.🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Absolutely love that stretch of canal.

That was some great scenery and listening to that Petter Maclaren is so relaxing to the ears😊 the tiller pin was very appropriate for Aslan

Another marvellous episode Kevin. I really appreciate the effort you put into your videos, so thanks v. much.

Here i am a few days late...What a wonderful little show around of Stone...I do like looking in on all the towns near the canals...Beautiful area ..lovely countryside...You never fail to please your audience...I love the sound of nature and always enjoy Aslan chugging along at 4mph... Lovely Countryside video..and your company is always a pleasure...Thanks Kevin!! So very much...😊

Afternoon Kevin " our sunshine" thanks for the video, a treat as always, dollying along the canal, slower pace than "everyday" life, countryside, bird song, peacefulness and Kevin......PERFICK COMBINATION. Glad to hear your taking a break, as much as we are all hungry for more of your videos, we are not going anywhere. We have the ease and pleasure to just relax in our comfy chair, cuppa to hand and drift along with you. You are the one doing all the work, looking for content and editing, which all takes time out of your daily life as a LIVEABOARD. I would hate to think it all becomes too much and you don't enjoy the lifestyle you have chosen. You take time Kevin, FREEDOM OF TIME, is something most people crave yet seldom find. Make sure you keep that FREEDOM for you and enjoy this beautiful country we are lucky to live in. Keep smiling, keep safe and keep travelling. All the best Flossy & Jan x

Currently working my way through series 8 (for some reason I stopped watching at the end of S7) It's like meeting up with two old friends again - looking forward to catching up with the rest of the videos including S9. All the best.....

That was just a total joy to watch. Many thanks for all your efforts to get your videos to us, they are so relaxing.

Another enjoyable cruise. It also annoys me when our union flag is flown upside down. Although in this case the flag was the right way up. (The side nearest the mast should have the wider white stripe on top). Keep up the great work.

Drink one for me Kevin ice cold 🧊 thanks for the video. Stay safe

thanks Kevin for another relaxing vlog, keep up the good work

Thank you Kevin, I paused the video to see what you ment about the “Flag being up side down” and I just noticed that there is a difference 😄

Greetings from across the pond! We have been watching since you began on KZfaq. I couldn't help but notice that when you pass other boaters that are traveling in your opposite direction you are opposite the motorway travel.

Beautiful scenery. Thanks for posting this.

Just watching your series on Prime. “Is there such a thing as a lady cave?” Pahahaha. Yes. Yes there is ;)

I really enjoy shots of towns.

I just discovered you on Amazon prime video, you don't look any older than 5 years ago and i can see you are definitely more relaxed, chilled and at peace with life - a real inspiration, thank you!

What a lovely stretch of the canal, and all that wildlife too. Hope you definitely have taken time to take a break and enjoy your time. Don’t work too hard on the videos. Thank you again 😊

Thanks for the amazing journey around the canals keep up the good work love the scenery

I knew you would enjoy the trip down from Stone. It's a lovely area to travel through. I have have had many a day enjoying the views and peacefulness of the countryside. Glad to see you enjoying the journey. Many thanks for this week's installment as it reminds me of such tranquil days. A joy to watch as always, and may your travels continue. Best of luck and cheers to you. Sean.

Enjoyed

Wow, what a great episode. 😊 I loved seeing the town of Stone and the canal views were stunning. Thanks for taking all of us along!

Brilllllliant Kevin - such good medicine for the soul - thanks for sharing 👍

Great vlog Kevin. I look forward to watching each and every one. I’ve binge watched all of them. Keep them coming. Your personality and presentation is superb!

Good stuff 👏

I'm with you. The beautiful English countryside and the bridges are my favorite. But how about some clips of historic buildings and churches on your walkabouts for us Yanks lol

That is GORGEOUS there. Looks like Heaven or a dream land. Wow! I will never see it in real life, so bless you for your time, dear Kevin 🙏. ~Leilani

Beautiful countryside Kevin! Thank you for the much needed break from reality!

yes, that was sooo relaxing. thank you Kevin

Another fun ride and great video! Thanks Kevin! 👍👍👍👊😎

Hey Kevin, Bummer of a life style, But hey someone has to do it! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

Another great watch and how kind are some people out there wonderful

Lovely cruise, some great scenery and some fabulous architecture. A viewing pleasure.

Thank you for a really lovely vlog, it was so picturesque and Stone was just has we remember a Market Town…Well done🙏✝️🙏

Hello Kevin. That was a really great video. I can’t blame you for waxing lyrical, the scenery was superb. I did enjoy seeing the contented sheep, lambs, geese, swans and ducks. And the birdsong too. Stone looked like an interesting town, but too much rush, rush, rush! I much prefer your quieter way of life. Enjoy your rest. Hope to see you cooking again in one of your videos. Cheers and love for now.

Wide White Top - the Union Jack looked properly hoisted to me :)

Great vlog Kevin , thanks for sharing 👍

Ahhh you have a cuddly Aslan now 😀 fab Vlog as always, love it xxxx

Great scenery! Such a beautiful country. You sang some Beth, but no Tom Sawyer?! 🤔

Hi I've found you by s rolling through KZfaq. I've always wanted to ride on a narrow boat, so relaxing pace. I've only been on a cruiser on Norfolk Broads, didn't feel comfortable and was glad to get back on the roads

Love the cruise everything is pretty and green 😊 hope you have a wonderful break and relax.. thank you 😊🤩..

That flag was the right way up. Great vid as always, Kevin, I always look forward to the notification.

love the KISS reference!

lovely episode, and what a great guy who handed you the lion tiller pin and stuffed lion, just the nicest people out there sometimes
