John plans to take the Ragdoll up the canal to Dudley, but in order to do so he has to navigate a series of locks.

Locks

Tree branches scrape against the Ragdoll, scratching off its smart paint. So John goes out to the shops to buy some paint to make his boat look nice and shiny again. Rosie and Jim do some painting of their own, and they learn about mixing colours together to make even more colours.

Painting

John is out of groceries, so he makes a trip to Sainsbury's to purchase what he needs. However, the two rag dolls have something else on their minds.

Supermarket

Whilst John is on his travels, he goes inside a tunnel leaving the two rag dolls to believe that pure darkness can be frightening to travel through.

Tunnel

Whilst attempting to travel to Dudley, the Ragdoll's tiller comes apart in John's hand, meaning he has to walk to a nearby stable so a horse can tow the boat to somewhere he can get it fixed.

Horse Towing

John is very curious to know how glass is made, so he goes to a factory to see what ingredients are put together to make glass, sand being the main one. Rosie and Jim follow him there, and play in the sandpit making their own boat out of sand with marble glass windows.

Glass

John visits Black Country Narrow Boats, the boatyard that built the Ragdoll, where Rosie and Jim try making their own boats out of paper and foil.

It's a rainy day on the Ragdoll, and John's in need of washing his clothes, so he sets out to a local launderette to get them clean once again. Rosie and Jim have some dirty washing too, but they also have something else in mind.

Washing

It is quite cold on the Ragdoll, and John is running out of coal for his furnace to keep him and Rosie and Jim warm, so he and Rosie and Jim set out to a coal mine to see where exactly coal comes from.

Coal

As John sails down the canal, he notices lots of different things being cut, so he takes a walk and goes to a farm to see some sheep having their wool sheared off. Later on, John does some trimming of his own by giving his beard a snip. Rosie and Jim join in by taking some sheep wool and begin pretending to shear it off themselves.

Clipping

John is looking for an idea for a story, so he sails down the canal to a falcon country park to see all kinds of different birds. Rosie and Jim follow him, and watch the demonstrations of the falcons.

Woollen Mill

John sets out to a wheat field to find out how bread is made. He then sees a windmill, and is shown how wheat is turned into bread. Rosie and Jim get up to their old tricks and fool around with John when he isn't looking.

Bread

John sets out to the shops to buy some food and drink for a picnic. Rosie and Jim are hungry and want to have a picnic too, so they add their own items to John's shopping list without him knowing. Bearing in mind that John doesn't even like the items that Rosie and Jim added, they're afraid that John is going to be upset. However, John isn't overly upset after all, as he sees a family having a barbecue and gives them Rosie and Jim's items.

Shopping

John thinks the blanket on his bed is starting to wear out, so he decides to go and get a new one. Rosie and Jim play with his blanket, but they play too rough, and put large holes in it. So John pays a visit to the weavers workshop to see how blankets are made from scratch.

Weaving

John goes off to Hampton to see a ferry. When Rosie and Jim see a boat that's going to the same place as the Ragdoll, they fear that it's going to cause a crash, but of course, it doesn't. John hops aboard a ferry to be transported from one path to another that has the river as a collision.
