My husband and I are 71 years old and live in Texas. We truly enjoy your videos and you both are a breath of fresh air. We are proud you have accomplished what you have and are on the "slow path" of life - you will have a wonderful life together and hopefully when you start raising children you will teach them as much of what you've learned of life's experiences as you can. We were children of the 60's and I cannot help but think of that when we watch you. Stay the course, continue being self sufficient. May God bless you and your families.

I don't why, but the very bit at the end almost made me cry. I haven't been with you the whole 2 years, but I did watch all of your episodes. Out of all those episodes, the one moment that has stuck in my mind was literally a moment. It was when you showed a shadow of the two of you walking holding hands for a few seconds. I don't even remember which episode it was, but it struck me as such a pure and sweet moment that I haven't forgotten it. What I like about your videos is of course the adventure of it all, the beautiful, idyllic and peaceful nature of it, but the real attraction is you two. Your personalities are so perfect for this type of thing. You're not fake or plasticky. And of course Alan. It just comes across as something out of a fairy tale or adventure book, like Bilbo setting off from the Shire to see the world. I'm glad you guys like what you're doing, as it means there will be more videos!

Congratulations on surviving two years on the canals! One thing about living in such a small space is that it will highlight any issues with a relationship. You guys are so lovely and seem very happy together so that’s a huge achievement for you both. I’m sure Alan’s highlight is being able to spend so much time with you both. Just what a happy cat wants! 😊

I love that my Ben, Emily, Alan, and Alan's boat day, is now friday! Ben, I just received the Roland AIRA S-1, and for some reason I can imagine you getting a lot of use from one, yourself! ❤ Almost forgot! Yesterday, my mother found the engraving of the "Entrance to Regent's Canal Dock, Limehouse, London", printed in 1828, engraved by Frederick James Havell, originally painted by Thomas Shepherd. It's a very finely engraved piece, and an early printing, with high crispness of detail, and hand colored.

My tortoise shell calico usually slept at my feet, but if my knee hurt, she slept there, and then it felt better. One time I had a horrible headache and she laid on the top of my head! Then my head felt better. I called her my "medicinal cat"! The same thing happened lots of times, and usually it stopped the problem.

Alan is too funny! She always look annoyed, regardless of the situation. "Floating our boat" has several videos of gathering nettles - I've interacted with nettles myself with a negative impact. Love your reflections, and I must emphasize how wonderful it is to have Benny's music as the only music on the videos. I love Benny's reflection that "It has been hard and I think that that's part of growing". And finally, Your description of Hello Fresh is easily the most delightful description of that sponsor that I have seen!

Wild herbs are very good for us. Growing wild they may more phytonutrients to cope with the changing conditions. They also are not bred just for max size as the veges in the supermarket are - which lose all kinds of nutrients. Can put nettles into smoothies or cook them in pasta. I make a banana green smoothie with them!

Well done for spending two years on a narrowboat! I've been to Napton, though I didn't make it to Cropredy. On the way I found a deserted Medieval village, a field full of buffalo, and some very nice pubs. My mate and I played a traditional table top skittles game, where you chuck a flat piece of wood called a 'cheese' at the skittles, and my friend overcooked his shot and broke a whole box full of brand new beer glasses into fragments. Then our boat broke down and we had to be rescued. Apart from that, it was ideal.

Congratulations on reaching 2 years, and thanks for taking us along for the ride!! Would you ever consider getting a pram style cover for the stern? It seems like it would give you a lot more protection/room in winter - not just when cruising in the rain but also so you have somewhere dry to store things and get on/off the boat. Plus of course more places for Alan to explore when it’s too cold/wet outside.
