    Colin, a man that says 'Whatever you want....' is a keeper, don't complain!

    Colin and Shaun it's me your retired Silver Fox Coal Auditor. You know i could care less if you are on a boat or on land you two are the highlight of my day. I love watching and listening to you both. But i do miss a few things like your Vlogs of you two on the boat just talking and sharing your journey and the canal history you would present it was beautiful. I have followed Foxes Afloat from the beginning and i have no plans on leaving now. The offer still stands to buy you both dinner one day and would love just to chat enjoy yourselves in the Highlands and keep the Vlogs coming hopefully one day we can meet it would be a highlight for me and the Mrs. Love you Both XO.

    Loved the vlog! It's the first one I've watched in ages, and it feels like re- acquainting with an old friend! I will have to look and see what I've missed? I am glad you decided to stay true to yourselves and not be controlled by factors outside your control. Foxes afloat is unique because of the abundant warmth of personality and humour that you bring into our homes. Thank you!
    Dominic xxx.❤

    Thanks for this. My mental health has been so poor this year, I've been completely out of the loop on your adventures. Just mindlessly watching TV etc. So glad I checked my notifications and decided to watch.❤

  • @suekrebs8387
    @suekrebs8387 Před rokem +3

    When you first left the canals, I thought I wouldn't enjoy your channel as much. After two weeks, I found myself loving it. Especially your humor hasn't changed.

  • @scottc1589
    @scottc1589 Před rokem +5

    Whenever you get to building the model railway you might want to consider putting in a "model canal" with a miniature Silver Fox - complete with a miniature Colin, Shaun Eric (or is it, Eric Shaun?) and Otis aboard and make a short video of it. Then when the trolls ask when you're getting your next boat you can tell them you already have, provide a link to the short video, and leave it at that.

  • @catherine3902
    @catherine3902 Před rokem +7

    Brilliant! Loved this. Happy Moving Anniversary 💞
    You kept me company all last winter while I was on my own up here on the Western Isles with the pets and waiting for my husband to retire from the NHS and come to join me. He managed that on 11th May this year. Today marks the day we have finally sold our England house so , like you, we're now definitely here in the Highlands enjoying everything it has to offer. We look forward to your videos and to the fun you both bring. Xxx

    You have grown up together. How many people can say that. Finding you on you Tube has been a blessing. I found you on Prime and couldn't get enough. Im mostly watching the older videos. I love the editing and the scene changes timed to the music. Even thru the tough times the way you are together is magic.

At the moment, projects are being on hold while everyone holds their breath, waiting for the prices to come down. Unfortunately, we will all be turning blue soon and passing out before that happens. I have faith that things will work out, they always do. Good to see you both healthy and jumping around.😘
