Things That Go BUMP In The Night on a Narrowboat! Ep. 109
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2020
- Vandals? Burglars? Night-time boaters? All things that go bump in the night on a narrowboat. We were woken up with a bang in the middle of the night and frantically ran outside to see what had caused the noise that woke us up with such a fright!
The next day we set off from Thrupp, embarking on our final day cruising the Oxford Canal. We rescue a duckling and reunite it with his mum, and we meet up with narrowboat Silver Fox's sister boat, Amerblyn.
We reach Duke's Lock and make a decision on the next part of our journey. Either to the end of the Oxford Canal, south towards Reading, or east towards Lechlade on the River Thames.
Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

Rescue a little duckling! That is what decent people do
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I know it is quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to stream new tv shows online ?
@Colin Niko Flixportal :P
@Flynn Enoch thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it !
@Colin Niko No problem :D
This is by far the best narrowboat channel on utube. Well done silver fox🐱!!!
Thanks 👍
Every time you hear a banging noise in the night now Colin you can say "chaaaaaiiiiiirrr".
😂😂😂😂
Good job saving another stray creature!
Cheers, that's three. I hope that's it for a while 😂
Shaun has earned his superhero cape. Wonderman - saviour of drowning animals,
Haha! And a bit... 👍🏻😂
That’s was probably the most excitement thrupp has ever had lol. Glad u liked it there.
Haha! Yeah, lovely place. 👍🏻
You have the BEST music. If I weren't "hooked" on watching your lives & your beaitiful country, I'd just listen to the music! Thanks for another great vlog!
Thank you so much, Elizabeth. It takes me ages to choose it 👍🏻
I should have watched these in order because I get tears in my eyes when I see little Dillon.
💜💜💜
I can't believe how good your production values look. Your talk about canal-side history is really interesting. The banter between both of you is so funny. Well done.
Much appreciated! Thanks, Stephen!
That terror inducing banging on the roof at 2am....you have been THRUPPED!
It sounded like someone was dropping a car on the roof! 😬
Thank you again Shaun for rescuing the little duckling. You are again my hero.
Don't encourage him! 😂😂😂
Your good at saving things first it was a deer now a duckling another great vlog with stunning scenery enjoyed adventures on the canals and rivers
Thanks, Keith! xx
Hey guys, we only discovered your channel randomly about two weeks ago and you've fast become our regular night time wind down viewing.
We're in Oldham and have a vegan channel. Been together 23 years. 😁
Love your content and gorgeous boat and so sorry for your recent loss. Much love. X
Hey guys 👋 Welcome! xx
The countryside in England is just so beautiful. You guys are so lucky to be living the life you have.
💜💜💜
Jesus!! I had my ear phones in and that knocked a good hour or two off my life.
😂😂😂😂
You guys always put a smile on my face, hope you enjoy your lunch, and don't forget your pants in the washer 😜, Jason Stoke on Trent 🤓
Oh God, the pants! 😂😂😂
Please accept my condolences on Dillon crossing over the Rainbow Bridge. I’ve survived several of my dogs passing, and it Hurts! They are pure love.
They really are
Foxes saving little ducklings. Like the sound of that.
😂💜
You guys are so informative, so genuine and a great couple. Shaun I will never forget you saving that deer. In this crazy year of 2020 I thank you both from the bottom of my heart for being yourselves and giving many of us much joy x
Wow, thank you!
Once again great vlog guys. Foxes International Animal Rescue strikes again lol. X
Always! 😂😂
Always interesting.
This channel randomly popped up on my TH-cam feed a few weeks ago, so I clicked on it. I was instantly hooked by your accent ("Accent? What accent?"). I used to watch Last of the Summer Wine strictly for the accents and turns of phrase.
So here I am. I came for the accent, I stayed for the content.
I'm catching up on all the back episodes and really enjoy the scenery, the history, the process, the detail, the personal insights, the production...
As a resident of center city Philadelphia, I know that none of this has any practical use in my life at the moment (or possibly ever), but it's so interesting and so well presented, that I'm hooked.
Hey, Bill 👋
Weird how TH-cam recommends things. Almost as if they knew you'd like it 😂 Anyway, welcome! Thanks for some lovely feedback too 👍🏻💜
I love the interaction between you two. I enjoy the history Colin gives us and the support Sean gives.
Thanks so much!
This is always the best start to a weekend! Great content as always!
Bless you! Thanks, Paul! 😛
I just thought you should know, whenever I see a train (whether it be in someone else's video or while we are out and about), I hear Colin's voice saying "Traaaiiiiinnnnn"!! Thanks for that! LOL
Ah, Evie. You should be shouting it too! 😂
@@FoxesAfloat I do! Also "Plaaaaaane!"
Thanks guys, Foxes to the rescue again (should be wearing capes). another lovely vlog with a scary intro and loads of info, I bet you're Thrupped after all that, lol. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Haha! Capes and tights, although Shaun already has the tights 😂
What a handsome couple . Hello from N. Ga USA. You two are living my dream. Hugs
💜💜💜
So many boats appear abandoned. You can't convince me they are 'Shabby Chic'. Dammed eyesores taking valuable mooring space. I loved the amazon series. You done good and so did your music man.
Yeah, Dean is a great up and coming music writer and musician. I see more tunes coming from him 😏
Great to see you again chaps. You're both looking extremely healthy and tanned. Oh for the life of a sailing man, bounding along on the main, well, the old river Thames. Thanks for a flippin enjoyable vlog and by heck, you do a reight good job of it!
Thank you so much, Robert!
Know exactly where you are coming from here guys, absolutely heightens the senses like you would not believe! Happened to me a few years ago at my girlfriends house. We had had an attempted break in that I disturbed on the Friday to the point that me and a neighbour ended up jumping through gardens trying to catch the “xyz”. Then on the Saturday at about 0230 am we were awoken bolt upright by a massive spine tingling bang and I mean both of us went from deep sleep to fully wide awake in microseconds! Went to def con 3 and I grabbed the nearest self defence item I could find and ran to the top of the stairs to gain the tactical advantage as the other half opened the window and readied the phone for the cops on the three 9s! Turned out as I descended the stairs like a brave warrior in underpants that a large glass picture frame had fallen from the top of the stairs onto the stairs below and smashed to pieces! The spooky thing is we put it down to that and relaxed but didn’t at the time ask what had caused it to fall off! All the best and keep safe, Paul
Hehe! Why do these things always happen in the middle of the night? 😂😂😂
Oh you guys..... ;) Glad it was just a chair and you’re both safe :)
Us too!
Dilllon is such a mellow little man. He just goes with the flow, including the rescue of a wee duckling, realizing his life is not the hunting or chasing life. He is the perfect pup for your narrow boat life.
He is! He's never been a hunter, chaser type. Just wants to enjoy the life by our side. xx
Silver Fox animal rescue is on the job! You two are super heroes.
It's confirmed... I have a bromance for these two! Every video they make me smile. Thanks guys!
Awww... Hey 😉
Don't just tease us about this odd but of the Thames, mate send the drone up and show us. Ha!!! You guys are so terrific. Dylan was in his element. You gave him a wonderful life!❤️
Thanks 💜
hello guys. I always watch your videos and follow your channel to follow your travels. I'm Marco Raposo from the Portuguese islands of Azores. I have been to the UK twice and even visited little Venice in London and can see narrowboats up close as also in Manchester. As well as you too, when I am retired from my job in the emergency department of the hospital where I work, I would very much like to have this beautiful lifestyle. I wish you all the best. Bye Marco and Marcelo.
Thank you so much, Marco! It must be beautiful in the Azores. We almost went there for a diving holiday once. xxx
Great vlog guys, as always the photography is superb, one thing I do love is when you superimpose historical photos on current scenes, it's really fascinating to me.
Yeah, I get a sense of something from it too
Sorry guys to hear about Dillon. It took me a while to get over the loss of Chloe which was my own dog. I used to hear the same noises around the house after she died that she made when she was alive. I dont think she ever wanted to leave me and stayed around trying in her own way to say goodbye. Im going to miss Dillon and will always watch back the videos he was in. Stay safe :) Martin.
Thanks, Martin 💜
We have an RV and go all over the place and now I want a Silver Fox.
Haha! Sorry, only one Silver Fox and some guys are living on it 😂
Foxes Afloat Lol 😂. I think 🤔 you could fit two more on board.
Lovely vlog with very nice music and your usual high standard of enjoyable visuals--thank you. Did you two flip a coin to determine who was going outside first to check on the noise? I'm so glad it turned out to be just an unruly deck chair!
Haha! Shaun was closer so he went first 😂
I wander which kind of animal they're rescuing next week 😂
Thanks guys, another great vlog 👍
Hopefully not a horse! 😂
I love you two so much! Thanks for sharing your adorable relationship and adventurous life with us!!!
Our pleasure!
The poltergeist strikes again. I'm half left. 😜
Fridays are fundays with yous two. 💕
Aww, thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Well, welcome to the foundation of the FWLRS Colin and Shaun founder members. Great Video needed bucking up my Mother in Law passed away this week one week shy of her 100th Birthday so we are a little down in the dumps. So a little slice of England was very uplifting
Aww, sorry to hear that, Trevor! Sending love! 💜💜💜💜
Such freedom!
Nice to know you aren't kind of locked into just one canal, but can turn left, or even right - whoopee!
I'm glad you went the wiggly way, 'cos it looked more interesting on the satellite view.
I just hope it's not too wiggly for a 57 foot boat!
Aww bless glad you saved little duckling ❤️ sod decorating for 3 days need a rest have a lovely wknd guys I'm going to relax with my fella xxxxxxxxxxx 💕
Yeah, leave the decorating till Monday 🤣
Oh no, I have just read the sad news so so sorry xx
Thanks, Jill 🐾 ❤️🐾
Colin and Shaun - rescuers extraordinare - deer, baby ducks - what next! Fun vlog guys.
Dillons
I hope it's not a horse! 😂
I enjoy these vlogs every week and just to make it extra special you mentioned the Tiller Girls, one of whom was my grandmother Winifrid in the jazz age of the 1920s. Thank you for making me think of her.
That is awesome!
Excellent selection Colin and Shaun for the fold down/magnetic aerial, I remember watching the video when you got it installed and I thought brilliant idea it would come in handy and it did this time for ya. The last spot you moored up on looks so beautiful and peaceful 😊 awesome video as always
Thanks 👍
Kind of sad watching this with your old doggie in it who's gone now. But I bet you're glad to have videos with him to remember him by...
Yeah. So special 💜🐶
From ghoulies and ghosties and long-leggedy beasties and things that go bump in the night, etc. Glad it was none of the above. A good scare never fails to make folks VERY ALERT! You lads have found a side hustle - saving critters who fall into the canal. Always love you videos.
Thank you 💜
Love it. I have to tell you. My morning was absolute crap and this vlog just made my day!!! The smiles, the laughs, the giggles, the scenery, the music. Just makes everything better. Thank you for that. xoxoxo
So glad! Sorry you had a crap day though!
Only half was crap. It got better in the afternoon. :) All starting with watching this week's vlog. :)
I'm sure there is some weird telepathy going on with your Vlogs ! I can't stop watching and keep upping my membership as I like you more and more 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hehe! It’s really appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@FoxesAfloat looking forward to the mug 🙂
So, if the investors only got a few pence back would it be fair to say they got .... Thruppence? I'll see myself out.
You're the second person to come up with that! You need to be writing my scripts! 😂😂😂😂
How did the wildlife survive before you pair - Deer last week duckling this week - WHAT next. Have fun
Please not a horse! 😂
You 2 are absolutely fantastic! It's definitely a great way to start the day watching a new Foxes Afloat video. Thank You.
Our pleasure!
Something went thrup in the night 🌙
👍🏻🤣
What no cricket bat? ( Mallet?, club?) for those bumps in the night?
I hope at least you have a sturdy lock on your doors.
Haha... We do have a couple of physical deterrents aboard 😉
20 Marlborough and a bottle of White lighting you were rich,
For me it was a 5 pack of No 10 and a book of matches…..
and the River Ribble is fantastic on a sunny calm day....
Haha, more like 10 Mayfair 😂
You boys just made my morning, you always make me laugh. You’ve turned into wildlife savers...💕💕
Awesome! Thank you! Haha! Yeah, kind of 😂
noticed no kayak! only realised when the knocked the wifi off.
haha! that went last year 😂
Talk about misreading. As I was scrolling through the videos , I thought this one said "Things that Go RUMP in the night on a narrowboat!" Funny misread, but I expect that would be a different sort of video.
Haha! That's on m OnlyFans page 😂
Gorgeous! And the vlogs are great too.
Thanks for making my whole week again
You know EXACTLY the right things to say 😂
Shaun looks so different without his glasses on!
Everyone knows when you hear a 2:00am bump on the roof of a narrowboat, you take your shotgun and start blowing holes through the roof until the gun is empty or the noise stops.... ok well maybe this is only done in Alabama on houseboats but it would have made for a funny video all the same.
🤣🤣🤣
Wow, loved you saving a duckling. Me and Dad loved watching as always :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Silver Fox animal rescue. Another beautifuly done vlog. I hope you both have a fantastic weekend 🙏✌
Thank you so much! You too!
The woodland across the water from your mooring (at the end) is Wytham Wood; home to some of the longest-running ecological studies in the world and owned by the University of Oxford. That section of the Upper Thames is incredibly scenic - you're going to love it!
Thanks, Robert!
Welcome to the Wild life rescue boat, any problems send for Shaun.... Great job guys
Hehe! Thanks, Brian 👍🏻
Aloha my friends... \000/ I really do find myself looking forward to the next video. With all that's going on. You two carry my mind away for a quarter hour. And for that... Sincerely, Thank you \000/
Simply The best... Aloha
Always our pleasure, Jimmy! 👍🏻
I’ve been in that wee tea house in Thrupp, and excellent it is too! Really nice spot. Excellent vlog guys, thanks 🙏 and I’m so relieved the bump in the night amounted to nothing! Cheers, Hollers.
Yeah, us too! Pity the tea shop was closed for our visit 😛💜👍🏻
👍👍Excellent and extremely funny out takes. thanks 👍 👍 🐺still the best on TH-cam 🥇🥇
Wow, thanks, Mark!!
Greetings from beautiful downtown Boquete Panama
The more of your videos I watch the more I like them and you two guys. Dillon too.
Keep the videos coming. I absolutely love them
Thanks so much, Eric! x
Your videos r better and better and beautiful excellent job thank you so much 😉👏🙏
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for the chillax guys, another great VLOG, be careful now you are entering the land of Northerners down south I’ve worn that dodgy T shirt for a while 😂
LOL! Made of hard stuff you know 😉
Loving the quiet time I'm having at the moment, watching this video with a coffee in my hand! On another note, I finally went to the doctor's after watching Colin speaking about his leg as mine's been hurting for months and months - and now I'm in a leg brace for the next 6 - 12 months! HA 🤣
That'll teach you to listen to me 😂😂😂 (Wishing you a good recovery) 💜
It's just a quarter till 2 in the afternoon here. Hot and muggy but no horse flies. Lots of Traaaaaaaaaines though! Hope you are both gonna get a good nights sleep tonight.
I hope so too!
Another great vlog with yet another animal rescue, another train and an interesting looking plane. Keep on vlogging.
Thanks, will do!
Hey I really enjoy your you tube video's...….. FYI I watched two of your Amazon episodes last night and REALLY enjoyed them. Well done and keep me laughing you are a great couple.
Awesome! Thank you!
Another animal rescued! Great job guys! ❤️
Thank you 🤗
You young lads should buy one of those little cottages for the day when you are too old to crank the locks. You can sit in your rocking chairs and wave to all the passing narrowboaters!
Haha! Great idea 😂
I am in the USA...native of St. Helens ,lancashire.. really enjoy the posts...gentle humor with a twist ! Trying to turn my American heathen friends to your posts... Thankyou for your commitment to communicating your very special life! Wonderful !
Awesome! Thank you!
Another beautifully shot video, with plenty of laughs! My wife has just asked me, “did Colin ever get his toad in the hole”? Funny story: my Gran cooked me toad in the hole, on the day I took my 11 plus. Unfortunately having eaten too much, I promptly failed! Stay safe & keep up the good work, (especially all the animal rescues)!
Not that your running out of beautiful places to go in jolly old ,but is it possible to ship silver fox over to Europe on a barge? Are there companies that do that?
Haha! I did!
Can't believe you've saved a deer, a duckling and a patio chair in such quick succession! Excellent vlog as always 👍
Haha! Thanks 👍
Lads, it's NEVER to early for an ale. Somewhere in the world it's always beer o'clock and begs to be celebrated. Great video as usual.
Well said!
Loved it and you've found a LOVELY mooring! My only complaint is that the video is over so quickly 🤪. You guys always put a smile on my face and I look forward to it every week. Thank you so much for sharing, and may you be blessed in all your endeavors. ♥️🙏♥️
Thanks, David! Good to be over too quickly than drag on, eh? 👍🏻
@@FoxesAfloat true, but you still don't want to blow all you've got too quickly! 😂🤯🤣... And why is my icon now purple 🤔? I paid my fee...
(Edit) nevermind, I'm an idiot... But I'm still going to blame it on my hair. Being a strawberry blonde, my mom always told me I could blame it on my hair at least once a month. 🤪
Well another good un,Enjoy the river and the weather hope it stays warm and not wet.
It's been lovely most of the week! Rain today though 👍🏻
2 questions.
1 Are you finding helpless animals to throw in the locks to make you look like Hero's?
2 Which tier of patreon do we have to be before we find out what is in Colin's secret cupboard?
Another brilliant vlog chaps. Cheers
2 Answers.
1. No, but GREAT idea!
2. You really don't want to know 😂
@@FoxesAfloat You may be tempted at some point to tell us what's in your secret cupboard. If so, please fight it. Don't ever tell. Keep the mystery!
Do you believe in ghosts? Maybe it was a spirit trying to tell you something? Lol
You have the best TH-cam narrow boat channel. Love you guy’s.
My best friend bought a narrow boat 2 years ago & I love it. Chris the Englishman, Northamptonshire. 👍
It was definitely just a chair sliding over when the boat tilted when Shaun moved over in bed 👍🏻 Thank you for a lovely comment!
Thank you Gents for another great instalment makes my week - and I might be showing my age it was 10 Peter styverson and a bottle of 20/20 for me😂❤️xxxxx
Haha! Nice one 😂
Lovely to see you again and glad it was an innocent bump in the night.... must be frightening as I am sure it would echo off the side of the boat.. ..You need to rest that foot up Colin... Shaun will have to tie you down ...but that's a whole different type of vlog...lol...take care and enjoy the Thames...
Ah, he's always tying me down.
Wait...😕
@@FoxesAfloat To much info Colin....lol...
You both looked proper scared 🙀. Mind you if I was woken up in the night on a lonely towpath I think I would have been worse. Well done to Shaun for rescuing that little duckling! ...altogether now 🎶There once was an ugly duckling...🎵
Haha! That's my ear worm for the next week 😂😂😂
Eee by-ecky-thrupp, from scary beginnings, to rescuing a little duckling having previously rescued a deer, faffing about and teasing on which way to turn, (I turned in 1973 and never looked back) to a rather inelegant Tiller or perhaps Bluebell Girl line kick! Apart from the horse flies it does as usual end in a happy ending!
And we all love a happy ending! 😏 Cheers, James!
That was scary..... but y’all can take care of yourself fantastically 👌
Thank you for sharing and ciao from the Eternal City
Great vlog as always boys. So happy that the banging wasn't another bike thief! Looking forward to your next video, but while I wait, I'll just watch you on Amazon prime! 😮 Stalker alert!😂🤣
Don;t forget to leave a 5* review for us 😉
@@FoxesAfloat Absolutely. I'm living vicariously through you guys, until the day I can pack in work and just take off on my boat.😉😁
What a lovely video to watch in a beautiful part of the world & take your mind off the madness that is the world today, Hey RSPCA will be looking to employ you guys after rescuing Bambi last week & Daffy duck this week.
Haha! I hope it's not a horse next week 😂
Happy it wasn't anything obnoxious banging on your narrowboat in the wee small hours of the night...happy travels :)
Us too!
I love all the extra work you put into your vids. The old/new still pix, the history, the bits of your everyday life.
Oh, your comment about the weather being nice reminds me of a very naughty man I once knew. If you commented “sure is nice out today!” He would reply “ it’s so nice out I think I’ll leave it out all day.”
Thank you, Marci! Ewww, weird man 😬
Great to see your smiling faces again!
Cheers, Ralph!
You gentlemen are going end up with an award for services to wildlife - well done - thanks for the entertainment
Hehe! I doubt it, but thanks, Allan 👍🏻
