@HollyTheCafeBoat4 years ago Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed a little paddle up the Trent!
PS. At time of upload I haven't yet done the subtitles so please bear/bare with us! :-D Have a great week! 29
@

@AndyBilham3 years ago Jo, I just love your accent! I know this is 9 months late, but please say "sort out some warm uniform" in a video just for me!!
That kayaker though - when he slowly slid out of shot to the right, only to reappear a couple of seconds later, still paddling furiously but still going nowhere - priceless! ... 1
@

@tiggasmum4 years ago Omg I was sitting howling at the guy trying to get past the island, so funny , what a lovely spot for a picnic :) 12
@

@emmaslow2 weeks ago A huge (belated!) thank you for the proper subtitles 🙏 x
@

@newlifecomingsoon2 years ago I know I am totally out of synch with video watching your channel, but who needs a tv when you guys are on; you both (and now William) are all the entertainment I need! 😌🙏😍😂
@

@joesoy91854 years ago Mary had a little lamb,
She also had a bear.
I've often seen her little lamb,
But never seen her bare. 7
@

@Roy65Nott2 years ago That was the funniest thing I've seen this year, you chilling on your new island cooking lunch and tha bloke paddling like mad in the background getting nowhere, brilliant stuff.
@

@grahamlewis60624 years ago LAUREN!!! You bet there’s folks out here waiting for the joy of seeing you guys out and about AND enabling us to have a coffee on the cut!!! PLUS there’s all those gongoozlers that will also love it 😃. I love the fact you still seem to be learning the baking 😆. Every blessing. Joan ... 4

@sarahmartella33813 years ago Good Morning Jo and Vic,
Just had to say this video still cracks me up! when l re watch the poor guy in the canoe..on the river getting nowhere! You are both a delight and so funny. Thank you Vic Thank you Jo you are both a breathe of fresh air. So naturally funny and Victor...such a cheeky face. I love hearing about your life and making the change.Brilliant thank you. Sarah xxx ...
@

@34136TS4 years ago We'd love to visit the cafe one day - and to share our recipes from Italy for whatever you fancy :) 2
@

@prestoncrewnarrowboaters86194 years ago love the way you two come across on screen, and its so natural and funny at times, and when we end up back on the water we will have to seek you guys out for a coffee for sure. 1
@

@juliaharris87514 years ago Jo and Vic, your vlogs are my favorites! You two are amazing, hardworking, talented and a delight to view. Your trip to the island and subsequent river rapids cruise was hilarious. I wish I could have a tea or coffee on Holly but a commute from the US isn't possible. So looking forward to seeing the painting completed. ... 2
@

@richardearth28484 years ago Fab little video and Vics face when he wanted to have a go at that water flow. Hillerious. Nice.
@

@rogermcd99184 years ago Jo and Vic, best video yet. The swans, you should have told them there is a 4mph speed limit. Guy in the Kayak, sorry, l nearly wet myself. The haircut, well done Jo, Vic was underneath all that hair, had mine done recently, feel human again. Take care you two 🙂
BTW, its bare ... 9
@

@drawbridgep4 years ago I would quite happily travel the 4000 miles for a cup of coffee and a brownie.
@

@nicothechihuahua31674 years ago You 2 make my day I'm a seasoned you tube gongoozler and have watched them all over the last few years, but I have to say you are 2 are far and above the most chilled and easy to watch. I would love a coffee when you get going oh and a bacon butty sorry I would have to give that squash stuff a miss far to healthy for me
Keep going you are doing amazing. ... 3
@

@barbarabull26724 years ago Love watching what you two are up to. Joanna you did a grrrreat job of Vic's hair! We love our coffee and look forward to visiting you once you're up and sailing Holly! 😊
@

@janeingram73314 years ago Personally, I don't find people being nice to each other during this pandemic, so it's so nice to see two lovely people smiling and just enjoying the day and each other. If I were close by, I'd be at cafe as a regular. Unfortunately, I am banned from England. Imagine an American banned from coming to the UK. Good luck to you both, Jane, Philadelphia ... 3
@

@borderreiver32883 years ago There's plenty to do, lots of time, too. Messing about on the river. Wherever you go, you go with the flow. And you're messing about on the river. Whether you get out, whether you don't. You think it would matter, I'll tell you, it won't. Lots to be done, that's all of it fun. You're messing about on the river. ...
@

@suee68354 years ago Great hair cut.....Yes I look forward to seeing you on the cut for a coffee and a cake. 1
@

@cababness10 months ago Loved your river boat trip! Jo, I am really impressed with your barbering skills! That was a very neat haircut!
@

@okt16374 years ago You two are ‘to die for’!! Your natural comic/as it happens is sooo entertaining! Just hope you bring Holly and 🛶around Penk/otherton one day as it would be great to enjoy the goodies you’ll be selling 😊. Yummy springs to mind....👍🏻as per to your future, socky sandals inc too!😂X ...
@

@kathleenstraube53566 months ago I’m catching up with your first years. What joy! 🤣♥️
@

@maobfh4 years ago Do you have a flag?!? See Eddie Hazard. It's 0500 early Monday morning, here. Husband woke me up about 0330 needing a bath. Just polished him up and put him back in bed and there you are, singing the same song he was singing. A 50 year old song, 3000+ miles away. What are the odds. I chuckled and he asked why. When I told him, he became excessively excited. "It's Hot Time, Summer In The City" ! I had to laugh. I told him you two were in your canoe, paddling up a river. Well, that's alright then ". Kind of surreal. Or maybe overly sleep deprived. It really was odd as it was absolutely coincidental and halfway around the world. Not true, only about a third. 8 hours and 12 would be halfway. This was a sweet and fantastically cinematic video. Who is the artist who filmed and edited this one? Brilliant! ... 5
@

@richardthomson2034 years ago As dusk descends over the water, the Swallows paddle their way back home with not an Amazon in sight. Could they be waiting somewhere nearby ready to force our intrepid explorers to walk the plank ?!!
Will Holly ever be ready with the smell of roasted beans...? Don't miss the next exciting episode of Yorkshire folk ont' water !!🤣😂 ... 4
@

@cylwik-family-movies4 years ago Gorgeous post, romantic light for you evening dinner on the island. Bought a bit of Yukon to Notts. Jo caught my attention early on with the “its better not to watch tutorials” when starting to cut Vics hair 😂. And again making that butternut squash risotto, your really know what you’re doing, with sage and arborio rice (one of my absolute fave meals. Hope that gets on Holly’s menu. Vic your haircut looks great so I’m waiting for you to do Jo’s makeover in the next episode without watching any tutorials. ...
@

@ianlaw64104 years ago Your funniest video yet. Brilliant. But hold the coffee, I just want the brownies. All the brownies. 1
@

@michaelbundy38674 years ago Yes definitely going to hunt you guys down and come for a coffee when you done. Loved Vic,s narration. He looks like a naughty school kid when he gets some of his ideas. You both have made this channel brilliant. As for his shoes , so posh this week in the canoe , last week sandals and purple socks on Holly🤣 ... 3
@

@stevehoare63784 years ago Sorry to be late watching this episode guys. You are such a breath of fresh air to watch when the world is chaos all around... Love what you are doing.. please keep up the good work.. 🍷🍷
@

@susanslater78922 years ago Loved this video, thank you. Was funny watching the chap getting nowhere🤣you two on the other hand made it look easy! 🚤💖
@

@daneenmcdermott484 years ago and tea, right? Not just coffee. You got all that tea from the health food store!
@

@salopianblue8765last year Loved Vic’s 1950s vibe……encapsulated by the brogues.
@

@louisajones35352 years ago The kayak/canoe parts are wonderful and so funny! Thanks
@

@johnekins44083 years ago Mary had a little lamb,
She milked it with a spanner.
The milk came out in shilling tins,
The little ones a tanner.
@

@bitweb82793 years ago That canoer just made me laugh out loud ha ah ha
@

@mickhedger96254 years ago Just beautiful. The way life should be. 4
@

@BCTGuitarPlayer3 years ago The island cookout was just too cool;)
@

@anya-39664 years ago Once this pandemic is over I'd love to come over for a coffee. I think you have a winning idea! Will you be traveling all over the network or based in one area? 15
@

@philelliott53274 years ago Great work getting Alan Bennett to do the voiceover at the start! Nice trip up the river, guess you have earned a day off.😁 1
@

@Smokeysbandit4 years ago Where will you first open. Would love to thank you both in person. Love to watch and would love to come for coffee and a cake mnnm. Its been a great journey with you both and Holly. Stay safe and God bless you both. 2
@

@stevemusgrave20004 years ago 9:25pm. Vic and Jo have conquered "Holly island". Old kayaker fights the current. Swans switch on their outboards. Burgers sizzling, cheese amelting. (all said in a certain northern accent!!)
If only the real Big brother was anything like.....
What a joy to watch. Yin and Yang. So much effort put in the boat build and the videos, so totally worth it. That is why, without doubt, your enterprise is SOOOOOOOO going to work out. ... 1
@

@andrewhilton81424 years ago Competitive little fella isn’t he lol. Another great blog, and nice to see things going so well.
@

@michael769senett84 years ago Hey thanks that was worth the wait, good to have some down time, love you both for sharing. nighty night from old man x PS 12.30 am could night go to bed without seeing you both. x 4
@

@stuartsmith52764 years ago OMG, I’m in tears watching the Camo fisherman, I bet he went to the fish & chip shop for dinner, he would have been to knackerd to real a fish in after that. George’s in Ilkeston highly recommended 😀
@

@galeblair73714 years ago I adore your subtitles. As a subtitle aficionado, one who always opts to turn subtitles ON, I can tell you that your subtitles are the best on YouTube. This actually came up in a recent discussion between my husband and I, that your subtitles weren’t those auto-generated garbage subtitles but GENUINE real subtitles.👍🏻👍🏻 ... 1
@

@davidpinner45984 years ago Now that was a nice relaxing video, love the picnic spot, burger and cheese and a cool drink. 6
@

@danensis4 years ago I love listening to Jo's accent. I used to live in Hebden Bridge, and some of our neighbours from "over the border" sounded like that. 2
@

@iansmith56014 years ago What a lovely video. Really enjoyed it and looking forward to your coffee adventures! 1
@

@lindaoles83934 years ago How do you say thank you, I am just watching you and I am in tears.. You have done so much and worked so hard. Keep going Holly will look amazing. 🙏💖 1
@

@SecretSquirrelFunlast year At first glance, I thought that those river marker buoys were those large inflatable flamingo pool toys. 😂
It would be very funny if someone added one of those flamingos to each of the marker buoys.
Although I very much doubt that the CRT people would see the humour (or the artistic expression) in it 😳 ...
@

@beverlyfletcher44583 years ago Great haircut, great life! Love watching you.
@

@billkillswitch45483 years ago Only just started watching your vlogs and find them extremely watchable. It's great to see a lovely young couple work so hard together to achieve a hopefully very enterprising business. Wish you all the best. Xx 👍👏😉 Tony L ...
@

@michw37553 years ago Those burgers looked amazing, now I'm hungry 🤤
@

@jillipepper53534 years ago Great haircut, looks lovely. I keep thinking it would be fun if the cafe boat had a sound like an ice cream truck so people could hear you coming and all run to the boat to get their coffee. Lol He/she/it is looking amazing. The brownies looked good I could almost smell the chocolate but I’m baking bread so it’s a bit strange. I’ve helped work on my dads 31 foot wide beam racing sail boat and it’s a lot of work, exhausting, good you got to have a break . I saw a video of another coffee shop boat that started just before the lockdown and then they had to stop. The lady who runs it said there was a lot of business though so that’s a good sign for when you can start up. 🙋🏼 ...
@

@CJT804 years ago Another lovely video. Those swans made me LOL. Looking forward to see how Holly is geting on. Looking forward to buy a drink off you in the future :-D 2
@

@denniscook71604 years ago Excellent video guys, don't change. 1
@

@mjallenuk4 years ago Always an utter treat ... I'll send my address for a tray of those Brownies! 1
@

@johnswimcat4 years ago Bear the animal is correct. Poor Vic takes a verbal pasting! Really good to hear some of the comments are supportive. I'm very curious, does Holly have an engine or are you going to do longlining? Mykaskin shows how to do this ... 1
@

@chriscross95054 years ago Those swans breaking the speed limit surely? :) 3
@

@arkon60843 years ago stay on some tourist spots along the canals with some picnic tables/chairs...
@

@tuftywhite96284 years ago Loving the videos and the project. I'd like to be the pedant that points out that actually, where you are is in Derbyshire. The Trent is the border between Derbyshire and Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire comes in just between Long Eaton and Tipton, going towards Nottingham, just before Attenborough. The River Soar is the dividing line between Notts and Leics. Now I've pointed all of that out, I feel dirty and bad. Look forward to the next video. Looking at the other comments, I'm not the only one. 😀 ... 1
@

@naughtysquirrellyndatee964 years ago You guys are soooo cute... I thought I was the only who wore my glasses like that..... the swan floating down the river at full tilt was a hoot... and the guy in the inflatable going nowhere fast stole the show....... carry on💜 ... 3
@

@jowattful4 years ago I am definitely looking forward to having a coffee on your lovely boat. 2
@

@martinlloyd75634 years ago Really enjoyed watching your vlog, hope to visit for a coffee one day 2

@allaurence10924 years ago Great Vlog guys you will go far with your adventures, the burgers looked awsome. 1
@

@vadmal52104 years ago Keep on canoeing, painting and vlogging! Is it possible to book a table for two? :) 2
@

@peterjackson74264 years ago The best video of week thank you lots of love ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙂
@

@ianbrawn97644 years ago Enjoyed video as usual . Do not be concerned about viability of business . We have walked canals for years and it is always good to find somewhere for a coffee and if we are lucky a home made cake. Big profit in cakes too, altho I think you need food hygiene approval . One place we went to regularly was near kingswood junction and the lady there said cyclists in particular like cakes! Kids like icecream and gingerbread men if our grandchildren are anything to go by. You two will be perfect as hosts so do not worry about that. It is getting closer to opening, and we would hope to find ourselves up your way in due course altho we are in portchester in hampshire so it's a fair way. Keep at it cheers ... 1
@

@mylifeandwhatitbrings99724 years ago So sad.....I loved the curls, along with the sandals and purple socks!!
@

@mrmoe664 years ago You two are so look cute and never cease to amaze me! I love your vides!!!!! 3
@

@jadewright49464 years ago When is the grand opening? Cannot wait - what a beautiful job you have done guys - so inspiring!
@

@thomascollins724 years ago I enjoy your videos and love seeing your progress. I absolutely would like to buy a latte and some baked goods from you. Keep the faith. 2
@

@einsteinsentertainer4 years ago Love these videos. they are great!!! I've been hooked for a few weeks now. look forward to them every week. 1
@

@BrettSirrell4 years ago Quote of the video...”pretty lucky to have the river in your doorstep”. I think you be pretty much unlucky if you didn’t...you live in a boat 😂😂😍 love watching you both xx 1
@

@josephnolette80464 years ago Great video nice relaxing trip nice views wow 2
@

@samannsing69194 years ago Thank you so much for taking us along on your picnic, it was great fun and we didn't have to paddle! We will keep an eye open for when you are open as we also would love to visit Holly. 1
@

@-TheRealThing-4 years ago Looked like yous had a nice break from working on the boat all day. When you were paddling your way to the island I got Idlewild's "Take me back to the Islands" in my head so I put it on. That Swan was surely breaking speed limits! ... 3
@

@motorhomenarrowboat14 years ago Lovely video. Looking forward to seeing boat finished. I am sure it will be a great success . You both have the charisma to see it true. Thank you for sharing. 2
@

@andywake67354 years ago Great episode. Laughed out loud at kayak man paddling furiously, for what seemed like hours, but going nowhere quickly. 1
@

@maobfh4 years ago I spotted this on . He/she suggested that this sentence would help you remember :
A patient bear will always bear with you, but an impatient bear just might devour you!
I looked it up as I started questioning whether or not I knew the answer for sure. ... 1
@

@zafiradaz4 years ago Loving the channel and you two are so funny 😆 2
@

@davidcook66144 years ago My wife and I love watching your videos your so down to earth and very funny we will definitely be coming to visit your boat for a coffee and cake x 1
@

@23Feanor4 years ago You guys are so adorable! We're off on our narrowboat next week (it's on the GU near Napton). We can't wait. 1
@

@lesgill84904 years ago Cracking video. really enjoyed watching that.thank you.thats what its all about.waiting for more. 1
@

@kevinconrad61564 years ago To go upstream in a canoe it is best to diagonal across the river.
@

@firsttankcrews2 years ago Binge watching some of your earlier videos and admiring your honest approach to vlogging. Craig Cash intro was brilliant - how did you manage to get him on board?
@

@grahamethomas60184 years ago LIVING THE DREAM. Great video again. Made me laugh when Vic said you were lucky having a river on your doorstep. You have two boats and a canoe you do need a river lol. Look forward to the next chapter. 1
@

@wayneball4 years ago I'll have one of those burgers with a flat white when you open 2
