I picked something up that will completely change how we do things on the narrowboat cafe – but then I got a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff you have to do to get it ready so I tidied up on Holly instead.

Big thanks to the Patreon crew.

Special thanks to Sam Osborne, manager of Sheepridge United FC for granting us his impromptu interview.

  1. Epic trip with a heavy box, well done Vic. I know I have said before about a cycle helmet but a few years ago a man crashed his cycle at the bottom of the hill outside our house. He was not wearing a helmet and he actually hit his head and died. William needs his dad.

  2. Speaking of gubbins … A vintage folding hoof pick could be useful.. I carry a brass one where the hook fits neatly into a handle in winter for my walking boots. Otherwise I carry it in my handbag as I like the weight. Increasingly wondering how you get such great shots. I just love William being trained for vocal actor of the year!
    Gubbins= a word I havent used since well before I left Suffolk for France 19 years ago and never thought I'd still be here… My West London roots! The OED has wonderful history of the lovely expression. I just love William being trained for vocal actor of the year! Goodnight People. Thank you Victor!

  3. Omg! When you left the camera behind and hopped on that train I got so worried that you’d get carried away from it! What an adventure with your box! Our built in electric stove top broke many months ago and we also haven’t replaced ours because the camp stove is quite nice actually.

  4. I'm wondering why they couldn't deliver somewhere locally to pick up even if they couldn't get to the boat.
    Holmfirth is definitely Last of The Summer Wine filming location

  5. The coffee roasting smell in Winter qill attract more punters! A clever wheeze, excellent work, and video. Hard work, I imagine getting the roaster home on bus, train, bicycle

  6. Huddersfield station has(had?) a famous cat. It was one of the staff and a couple of books were written about it.
    Also Holmefirth was the location used for filming the TV series "last of the summer wine"
    Back when I started work in 1972, I used to take the bus from Manchester to Barnsley and back many weekends.
    It always went (and stopped) in Holmefirth befire climbing up to cross the moors.
    Later in life I used to take the train from Manchestert airport to Huddersfield, before taking another train to Penistone.

  7. Vic, although it can be somewhat tedious, round my way at least the recyclers ask that you remove any sticky tape from cardboard. It can gum up the processes – or so I'm told.

  8. I think it's neat but kind of unnecessary for a cafe that is only open a few days a week for part of the year. But more power to you if it makes you happy! 🙂 Always like watching your videos.

  9. Being from the USA, I admit that I had to look up the word GUBBINS. I quite like it and will look for ways to work it into my vocabulary. 😂
    Also, that journey while carrying a 50lb box was very impressive. And you still had energy for a run! 😮

  10. I love your videos and this one was very special. What an adventure. And to make matters even better, you visited my home town of Holmfirth. If only I’d known I would have given you a lift in my Van, Annie. But your video would have been a lot more boring. In addition, hesitate to say this, but wow you survived Huddersfield wandering around with a camera. Restores my faith and means I accept my anxiety. Finally, one day when you’re old, you will look back at this video and be amazed at what you did…..

  11. Superb videography Vic👍, considering you are on your own. You captured your journey so well. Looking at your video in France outside an air b n b, only interrupted by French ads.
    Loved the footie fan interview- he sounds like he should be on Sky Sports. Bang on editing by the way👍

  12. Hello Victor: You are a man of grit and determination: it's a good job you've been doing all those pull ups and press ups with William on your back; next time I think you should make yourself some sandwiches in advance. Good luck with the roasting. Pete Glyde

  13. Vic your commitment to these videos is legendary. Enough you had to lug that coffee roaster home but adding to the work by placing camera to record you struggling so you had to struggle with it even more. Have a great week! 🙂
