The real reason we left narrowboats

No not boring joe is a good cook happy christmas all

First, the vlog was most enjoyable, second love the eyebrows Jo. Third, I can foresee the day of Holly The Cafe Shop! A permanent warm location where people can come in sit down and enjoy a good coffee and some great pastry.

👍👌♥️🇨🇦

To Vic, Jo and William, have a wonderful land lubbing Christmas and New Year
Lots of joy and fun

THAT was not boring! Your videos are fascinating whatever the content. Please just carry on with that little window on your lives.

I didn't want you not able to get to the fusebox in future so I bought a book!! Merry Christmas you guys 🎄🎈🎉

Love the irony here. Love this team. Great work, Vic, Jo, and William. Just do it, you are brilliant.

Loved the mincemeat demo looked delicious ❤

Not boring at all Vic. Great mincemeat Jo. Merry Christmas from Tasmania

Not boring at all… loved seeing you all and admiring the home made mincemeat looks delish.
Merry Christmas lovely family 🎉

Hello and a very happy Christmas to you and family.
Where will Cafe (Holly) Boat be moored throughout January 2024 ?
Thanks well done keep that love and enthusiasm
Mike

Chill, no judgmental comments here.

Reason you left boating is cause you were not true boaters

Not boring at all, loved it! Feeling inspired to crack on with my own mince pies now :)

My HTCB Mug and Tea Towel arrived in Australia today. They are both beautiful and the mug works too.

Happy Christmas 🎉

The best video I watched of you guys was when you showed the entire process of making the cakes, etc to setting up the sale to the actual sales along the side of the river, and all the issues you had to deal with in between (including juggling everything).

I always love to see the 'behind the scenes' of the videos I watch. I'd watch a video following you around as you make the main video, there are so many creative shots that I'd love the see the magic behind them. I love to see how happy Jo is while baking and how happy you both are when being with William.

Hi guys. Just wanted to say that I only found your channel yesterday and loving you all! I'll be up late binge watching. Anyway, I've found your website and will be ordering in the New Year. Hope you all have a fab Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Thanks for the entertainment.

Did I watch the video? Yes. I did not get up to answer the phone, door, nothing. Didn’t even refill my water bottle. What did you talk about te:making videos. You talked about not wanting to makes videos about making videos and this was a one off. And then? I’m not sure because I missed it. Missed it?!? Doing WHAT?!? Why, watching the video. Don’t ask me!!! If I knew the answer, I wouldn’t comment. There was a 2nd thing I had a question about but forgot writing what I have written. Why try?!? Not ready to quit just yet. Shutting up now. The boat looked great, brows looked great so was a little confused about that! Is there a compulsion being fed and watered? Could. Be.

Thank you for showing us all what we probably already suspected… that vlogging, boating, running a family and a small business is definitely not all rosey sparkles. But it IS definitely very rewarding and character building as well as creating priceless memories. Never, ever are they boring! Merry Christmas.

Love you three treasures. Enjoy the video's. Happy Christmas. From Cathy and Ollie. Port ELIZABETH, Summerstrand, Gqeberha, South Africa.

I think it was more about quality mincemeat than you realise 😂 🙏🏻

Lol Vic you probably dont want to hear this, but im not bothered about the clever video shots, i just love watching Jo cooking and you both interacting with william. ❤

As fellow video creators we LOVE hearing about how other people who are also creating vlog type content deal with the process! Super glad you broke your own rule and will always be happy to hear about the video making part of your life!

I thought this day might come…it is your life and style. Sharing it is wonderful for us…but do care for yourself and family first and foremost…fond wishes….another William’s mother!

I hate to say it but time to get a job with a salary again! Agggghhhhhhh

It’s never boring if it’s something you feel passionate about :). I love seeing the everyday of you Jo and William x

I always wondered if there was actual mince meat in mince pies, but happy that there isn't 🤪 although knowing there is suet in it, is kinda gross, because that's the weird stuff that birds eat lol..

No one would of realised about your eyebrows unless you had said

❤🎉Happy New year Lovely jo and vic and lovely William Happy New year have a fantastic time hope that you had a lovely Christmas have injoyed your videos about your life and seeing jo make cakes in Holly the cafe boat iv had your lovely tea towel for Christmas from my son looking forward to more videos Guys in 2024 love N1 fan jenny ❤🎉 portsmouth ❤🎉

Jo, that pastry impressed. So smooth and rolled out so nicely. Is that pastry recipe in your cookbook? Mine are so often a crumbly mess. Enjoyed the video!

💜💙💚

We are not here for the ‘quality’ of your vlogs, put anything out and we will watch.
We are here because we want more.

I'm sure you'll see lots of comments about this, but we don;t need fancy camera angles and cuts and all the other "B"roll stuff, Just film 5 minutes every hour for 8 hours of each day , throw it all together in fading scenes in about 20 minutes and post it. Thats all we need.

To a lovely family, live your best life, life , whether it's on the water or on land, is a blessing, an adventure and your story. You choose your life, your story for the love of your family. You are both young with many more roads or canals to travel, enjoy it and thrive from your experiences, you and your family are such a delight to watch regardless where your journey takes you. No hurry, no worry❤❤❤

Maybe just stop then ?

Thank you for being open and real. Appreciate you guys

The quality of the videos have never been an issue, I'm guessing part of the problem was being hit by the Covid pandemic and lockdowns and then availability of ready cash. The whole climate that created, put people off circulating, very bad news you couldn't plan for. Also Holly the cafe boats fit out was pretty expensive. Thousands for a coffee grinder when ready ground would have done, didnt help. Too much angst about things like eyebrows that don't really matter but might add a bit to the video.
Superficial growing pains of this type happen to people just starting in business. I hope you keep up the film making as its obviously a talent which makes you happy as well as other people. Being able to bring joy into others lives is a wonderful thing.
I'm sure if you spend time thinking about it, you'll find a way of bringing
Holly alive another way.

You are so good at making and editing videos so I think you should stick with it. As for highs and lows well I think most family’s have that in some way or another especially the way the country is at the moment .You have each other so hold on tight and do what you have to do whichever way you decide to go .Wishing you all the luck in the world.

I don't think parents should be putting up their kids on line not fear on them.

Not bored. Thanks for sharing.

So have you always owned a house? As we assumed you sold everything for the boat project? Sorry a bit confused

My Grandmother and Mother put A LOT of Brandy in their mincemeat!

Making a making the video is absolutely fascinating. Thank you. I shall definitely look out the other ones.

Thanks, enjoyed your video. ✌🏻👊🏼

Because it's like living in a long tin can..am i right??.🤣🤣
