Vanessa, when I started watching your vlog awhile back, I assumed that the title was click bait. I have since discerned that not only are you striving to live a mindful life, but you are also trying to teach us to slow down and observe what is around us and what is ultimately far more important. Thank you! You have a wonderful weekend as well.

We all really enjoy your adventures on the waterways, but I'm pretty sure I am not the only one that enjoys your sharing of your knowledge and experiences with the birds, bees, plants; not to mention your beautiful artwork and your lovely Zeph!

@peterbudd44

Brilliant , shame it had to end ... a mischief of mice , that's great . Can we have a new collective noun each week please ! haha.

@WayneSchowalter

A change of content: a recipe pulled from your thoughts. Success flavored with spices that remind me of my departed wife. A tear forms in my eye. An exquisite poem, followed by the perfect music choice, makes me emotional again. Beauty and wonder emanate from my screen as only you can create. Thank you, again, Vanessa.

@peterreeve8663

Your cooking style is like your narrow boat journey. Sometimes it’s brilliant but sometimes it’s not.  But no one drowned and no one starved and you had fun along the way! Take care and thanks for sharing with us armchair boaters.

@shoretrader1

Another award winning and great adventure. I am one who "sticks to the end" as you put it and enjoys your "grounding routine" as my Mom would say, of making a pot of tea and placing one, two or (who's counting ?) treats on your dessert plate. Finally settling down creating in your journal. Mom would say good routines are important in life. For the viewer, it provides a happy closure after your adventure comes to an end :)

@tteric67

Fridays are so much more fun with your vlogs! 
Isn’t Zephyr such a wise girl! To be admired, so patient and a knowledgable boat dog now! ❤🎉🦮👏💎

@stevea9604

Those Swans know great company and thats why they like hanging around you 👍🏻🌞🤩

@carmenzaldivar4393

I love your videos .not only how you show us nature but also the lovely towns and history around. At the end of watching your videos I realize that  I have a smile on my face and in my ❤️

@jennyfulcher8035

Thank you Vanessa for your  Mindful Narrowboat vlog. You provide the calm within the storm of US politics, as I follow you and Zephy aboard Alice Grace. Even when you encounter your own storms, literally and metaphorically, you keep a steady hand on the tiller as you steer Alice Grace towards calmer waters, grounding me in turn so that I don't lose my own moorings during these uncertain times. Steady as she goes, Vanessa, Zephyr, and Alice Grace! Thank you for being there! 💙

Thank you for showing us further glimpses into more aspects of your life on Alice Grace and your boating adventures.  Hoping for and early spring and more consistent pleasant weather for you.

@trevorbarrett9971

In a word, my description of your boat, channel and content would be - 'shipshape'.
It's so nice to sit down on Friday evening and watch the latest chapter..... thank you!
Take care, stay safe all 🤞🏻

@chrisabbott7458

You deserved a more relaxed cruise this week after several weeks of challenging times . This was such a peaceful cruise.I loved your shots of the mice.,

@christineprice5463

I love the swans. They make a heart with their necks. So pretty. Thank you for the lovely vlog. It is always a great way to start the weekend. 😊

@stephenevans9248

The Wall is your best poem so far, a real joy.

@nigelgregory7308

Hi Vanessa, had to come back to this vlog as it was so beautiful, "where's the paddle? Zephyr says "I don't know " you say treats, zeph says "I'm on it mum " you mention food Zephyr says "you drop it I'll catch it " she is adorable, you can read her expression 🥰❤️ , oh' and having two swans mooning at you was perfect 🤣🤣🤣

@jumelle1on1

I felt Ms Beatrix Potter would have an austere smile and nods of approval during today's vlog, and for a few moments, I could forget the reality of life on this side of the pond.

@mychalloving6821

Mischief of mice, indeed. Aren’t collective nouns fun?  And thanks for the reminder that I don’t really have to scrub the pots and pans  spotless. Vanessa, your vlogs provide such an important reminder for all of us to slow down and pay more attention to the wonders of nature that surrounds us. If we all were just a little more tuned in, as you are, the world would a much safer, healthier and civil. Thank you for all you do. You are racking up a huge amount of positive karma, I’m sure.

@G6EJD

Dear Vanessa, another truly mindful and relaxing vlog, thank you so much. I’m really enjoying my 2024 Journal too, the poetry is just perfect and illustrations wonderful.

@michellesartori6695

I have been wanting to sit down and watch this video since you uploaded it, but I only managed to do so  25 minutes ago. It was worth the wait, just like waking up on Christmas morning and knowing there's a gift to unwrap, but you can't have it until later! I laughed at Zepher, double timing it to the "treats" and the adorable swans. How glorious they are! I also loved seeing the mice as they "mischief," and I thought that your dinner looked delicious too. I cook most days out of necessity, and although I can follow a recipe, there are times when I hope for the best and throw a lot of different spices and flavour profiles together and see what happens. I'm sure that your success rate is much higher than 10% LOL! Thank you for what you do in sharing your journeys with us and I know that it means a lot to me, and I also know that I am not alone in saying so, to get the opportunity to visit all the gorgeous places you do. Take care now, Vanessa, and give your girl Zepher a pat from me! From a VERY hot country NSW Australia.
