I prefer vlogs with a difference, I can also relate to you in a boat way and time served way. Keep it up matey

A lovely surprise Chris to see a vlog from you. Very deep. Very meaningful. Life throws us new challenges at times. You two do make me smile. You bounce well off each other. Glad Omans going well too tho looks very hot lol. Every best wish to both yourself and Colin. 🎉

Interesting to hear a bit more about your goings on in Oman, and nice chat with Colin. Cropredy marina looks like good fun!

Rimsky & Hankerchief! They’re fab… What a lovely exchange between the two of you, warmth, respect and affection, lovely x

Hi Chris, Fab V-log 😊. What a lovely friendship you two share, a joy to see. Best of luck on your journey of imparting knowledge with both wisdom , humour and charisma, I am sure your students evolution and outlook will improve with implementing your teachings. Take care and enjoy x

Chris, your back ! You are a wild man…..

Wonderful to see you again Chris. Love it❤

Like everyone else, it’s very good to see you again back in the UK. It seems like you’re successfully working on a balance of your work life and your boating one. Wish you a much continued rewarding journey.

Fantastic vlog Chris and stay safe. Good luck in the future Colin.

Interesting vlog Chris. Oman looks a bit too ordered. Anyway it will be interesting to discover more of the country.

HI Chris, the short clip with Colin , the beautiful folks on the canal, the Jack in the box piano etc, was like a scene from the Marx Brothers, only in color, don’t you think? It was priceless! I had to watch it twice ♥️because of the eclectic backdrop!!!! CP

This Vlog is a beautifull piece of humanity!

I think I know the answer Chris but why are you wearing two watches?

Looks like a match made in heaven ,why split LOL

Remember colin doesn't know a stranger. I hope to be over in September. I will worn you. I am very different from him.. one being a woman 😂... the other lot more quiet,and not good and joining in at first .. so sometimes I give the impression that I am not happy, but I am .. I just stand back for a while ... anyway, glad you too met. we all need friends, good ones in our lives ...

Glad to see you blogging again. Personally, I love your blogs. They are always interesting and thought-provoking. And I like the way you interact with the people you meet. Keep up the good work.

Hooray Chris has a new vlog 🥳🎉🤗love your friendship with Colin 🙂oh my goodness, I love the ‘Rimskisyard ‘ clip 😂😝

Nice to see you again. Colin is like your good self a very interesting man and a pleasure to listen to. All the best in Oman ❤

Oh ! . . . he stopped chewing ! Maybe its just a habit he has . . . . excuse me :-)

Interesting video Chris, and . . . . . some say there is 'gum etiquette' to consider when chewing gum in public or in close proximity of a friend (the one that was sat next to you). Also as an example, it may be considered impolite to walk around with a wad of gum in Europe, and should be adopted here, and it is not appropriate to chew gum in churches or at parties. Just an observation mate :-) . . . . . Pongo Out :-)

Great vlog, as always, Chris. Thanks. What an interesting couple of blokes you and Colin are. If ever you're down this end of the country, I could do with just listening to the pair of you in a nice pub somewhere, while I nurse my pint. I'm such a lightweight these days. My dad loved the heat when he was in the RA in North Africa and later in India, Persia, Palestine, Sicily and Italy. Hated the cold. I see you caught a bit of sun. Take it easy Ole Son.

Wasn’t interested in the “what do you think of me?” chat. Rambled on, if I’m honest. However, I loved seeing the shots of Oman - what a beautiful country! And it’s always good to see you, Chris.

I generally live by the 7Ps and whats the worse that can happen,if the worse is i could die,then change icourses

Hi Chris, Keep in the back of your mind that you and Colin are not saying "good bye" as that means you are parting ways permanently. As long as you and Colin are on the canal system there is always a chance of crossing paths again. Not only that with todays world of technology the two of you can stay in touch visually and verbally. Your parting words should be "I'll see you later chum". Mark Rant Alberta, Canada

Top vlog.you have a great way of putting things over.👍👍

Yesterday I was just thinking I hadn't seen you here for quite a while. Oman looks amazing. Loving your bro chat with Colin, you've certainly got each other sussed given you've not known each other very long. You're a great pair of friends. Enjoy your travels.

What's attracted me to your vlogs Chris is your an every day honest guy with no pretense you don't bullshit and you care more about the quality of your vlogs than just putting something up I also admire you and anyone who serves their country and puts themselves in harms way for the freedoms that we enjoy, I also think we have the same philosophy of life in that treat others the way we would like to be treated which i dont think is practiced as much as it should be the world would be such a better place if we just focused on our commonalities rather than our differences

Well that was an unexpected treat... Given the lay of the land & with the passage of time an episode full of juxtapositions which feels just right for now... & Colin brilliant ! I wish you well & hope to encounter a crossing at some point (was that Strava by any chance?)... So Chris, all I can say really is, who bloody knows what the future holds for you given your current capacity for change but keep it rolling lad !!!

What a wonderful vlog. Full of humanity, humility and fellowship. You two appear to be friends for life, having developed together on your journeys. Chris. Great to see you enjoying the job, the travel and the challenges. Great vlog men

Nice to see you back Chris. I do like to think - maybe a few years down the line - you will still cruise the length of the K&A. I wish Colin would do his own vlog, what a great character. Could you tell me more about the people and location of Rimsky's Yard please, it looked magical

Good seeing you. The two watches is fascinating! Colin would be a fun companion.

what a superb surprise to see you back again and enjoying life. I really missed your Vlogs .

Good to have you back Chris. Colin does indeed seem like a “nice bloke.” Good luck to you both on your travels ✈️🛥️

That was different, but very enjoyable. David, nb yaripyaroo.

Hi Chris, Great to see you. Missed you😘 Friendship is what it's all about this talk. Good friends are SO inpotant, give & take. Your life will be enriched for ever. Well Done Chris X🐰x

Excellent vlog Chris. Sad that you and Colin have to part ways now but I’m sure you’ll keep in touch. He comes across as such a nice man, and the fact he says he feels happy around you says a lot about you. Great to see footage of Oman. It seems to be a beautiful, if extremely hot, destination and underrated for travellers. You’re clearly enjoying your work there which is good. Long may it continue to be thus. Stay safe and enjoy 😊

Good to see you back. Nice video❤

Nice 1 Chris and Colin…

Really interesting..good to see you looking happpier

Goodmorning nice reorg dear chap

Great Vlog Chris enjoy the trip and hopefully the balance or work and the boat will fit well with your long term plans.

In the immortal words of Bruce Forsyth “Nice to see you to see you Nice”😎👍🏼

So lovely to get to 'know" Colin a little better. So good to see you looking so well Chris, you look well tanned....jealous and really happy. Perseverance leads to this kind of reward working in such a lovley hot country, by working through the challenges of living alone originally on your narrowboat, so chuffed you have found a balance that works for you. We thoroughly enjoyed this video, you are greatly missed 😊

Glad to see you back again, if but for a single episode. My favourite people are eclectic, maybe even a little eccentric. It's not hard to imagine getting along with Colin, and I think you would take any amount of friendly jousting and be able to dish it out as well. Trying to learn something about everything--like your 15 minutes a day--is a practice I have had for years. Your merch elicited some attention on Friday. I was at the hospital for my final (I hope) surgery. "Maximise Life" struck a chord with the nurses in the recovery ward. Much like when I first found your vlog, I'm very sore, but a significant step back to a "normal" that might even include travel.

Good point about the amount of shopping in a trolley and not being able to carry it back to the boat!

Great vlog as always Chris. " I'm happy when I'm around you", that's a wonderful compliment to receive. Stay safe in your work and travels mate

Very good vlog Chris 👍👍🇬🇧👍

Great video, was really interesting to see some of Oman, I thought how clean and tidy it was. Look forward to see more of Oman. Wondered if we’d see you back here lol. Take care have a good swing as we call them here. 2 on 1 off is a swing on minesites 🙏😁

Two days ago I was thinking that young Chris Mears chap must be busy with this new venture and here you are. I loved the act with the piano. I'm sure you will catch up with Colin sometime in the future. Cheers Chris n see you in the next one.

Very interesting video. Thanks!
