  • Did Colin break a leg? After weeks of pain, we end up on an emergency narrowboat trip to the hospital where he finds out why he's been in so much pain. We cruise from Cropredy to the nearest A&E department in Banbury. Ten minutes in a car, but over three hours by narrowboat.
    While in Banbury, Colin uncovers the story behind the rhyme, 'Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross', which starts Shaun off giggling! There are also beautiful views of the countryside surrounding the Oxford Canal.
    Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

    My husband and I found your vlog by accident..and what a happy accident it is! We watch your video’s every night to help us relax..you two are the sweetest, and you are teaching us about narrowboats..which we had never heard of before. Spending time on one has now been added to the top of our bucket list. The scenery is so beautiful and peaceful. Sending much love from North Carolina, continued good health for both of you (and hope your leg is healed!) and thank you both for being yourselves..you both are awesome!!!

      Hi, from WV. I'm up just at the end of The Erie Canal system. They ran down through Canal Winchester, Ohio where there is a nice museum and replicas along the tow path. There is some of the canal left at Hockkngsport Ohio just near me. But I've never seen these beautiful Narrow boats like Shaun & Colin's. But as they cruise you can see there are thousands of them in this narrowboat culture in England. I'm completely fascinated. Love these fellows and Dillon. ❤️

    After the battle of Edgehill (1642) the local castle at Broughton was laid siege by Royalists...The lady of the Manor, Lady Fiennes escaped and rode into the town of Banbury on a Cock Horse...(A Cock Horse is the name given to an extra horse that was fitted to a team of horses to assist going up hills.(extra horse power !))... she rode to the town ringing a bell warning the towns people that the Royalists were coming...
    Love the video guys I used to live in Banbury in the 60's very different there now but the canal on the outskirts are the same..As kids we used to open the bridges for the boats to pass, and help out on the locks.
    all the best..

    Good Morning from Denmark.
    Before moving here I lived in the West riding of Yorkshire, and my Gran used to make coffeebuns. I make them now. Here is the recipe.
    8oz self-raising flour, 4oz butter, 1 egg, beaten, 4oz brown sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, 6oz currants/sultanas/raisins, splash of milk.
    Rub the butter into the flour . Add dry ingredients. Mix in egg and milk slowly to form a sticky dough. Spoon dollops of mixture onto a greased baking tray. Bake in oven for appox 25 mins at 180C.
    Cheers

The quality of your channel is outstanding and you two guys are so relaxed and friendly that I really feel like I’m part of your extended family. So thank you so much for that. But , what happened to your leg? I cannot find any references to how you originally did it. Please be careful with it and hopefully the vibrations through the boat don’t affect its healing.

    So your walking cast reminded me of a funny (now) story. In 2005, we took my 78-year-old mum on a narrowboat trip for a week. It was wonderful! We stopped one day to take a look at a church in the country (someone famous was buried there). As we walked in there were some workers doing some paving work, with a small trench, maybe a foot deep.
    As we walked out, my mother fell into the trench in the churchyard, injuring her foot and shoulder. I couldn't get the workers to just cover her up, instead, we had to take an ambulance to the local A&E and she ended up in a walking boot with a stress fracture to her foot, and a sling for her arm.
    We continued with the trip for the next 4 days or so, and when we returned, apparently a legend had spread up and down the canal about the old lady who had nearly died in the churchyard...
    Hope it heals!

    I know you asked us to not give advice about your leg, but this is something of which i've got some experience. I've had a whole heap of sporting injuries to my legs when I was younger, that now in my mid 30's are making things more difficult than they need to be. so i've learned quite a lot about pain management and how to allow yourself the space to heal.
    The best thing for bone pain in the lower leg is to take one of seans empty whine bottles, wash it out thouroughly, dry it in the sun, then take it to where you spend time relaxing, fill the bottle with wiskey, and give it back to sean. It will do SFA for your pain, but you'll have more fun on those long days stuck in a boat.

I learn something every video, never knew about the Fiennes ' connection about 'fine lady ' but i know there is a local connection as their family home is Broughton Castle nearby and still in the family's possession. It's a lovely place.

    Use the white milk inside the stem of the nettle, this will neutralize the sting of the nettle. I reached into stinging nettles once with both arms to get a football, once when younger. Both arms lit up. I used the milk of the larger stems. Rubbed it on. Stopped the sting near immediately. I did this having heard that many poisonous plants have the antidote in themselves. Wasn't sure it was going to work.

    I'm watching all you vids 🤣 I've decided .. I need a virtual canal walk
    With nights closing in and having my daughter at weekends means us house dwellers can't get onto canals .. I'll stop you for an autograph and a pic for my wall if I ever bump into you on our travels 👍

    Excellent job with the vlog this time. Sorry about your leg, Colin. But do listen to your nurses' advice. (Retired nurse here.) Take care.

  • @mikeweston7585
    @mikeweston7585 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Collin, I know you said you don't need any instructions on the leg but I am going to just tell you to follow the Nurse's instructions! lol Anyway, keep up the great work out there, be careful. I really do love all the historical comments and stories you pass along. I so want to come to the UK some day and just pend a few weeks on the canals.Take care of the leg and Sean, take care of Collin as we know he won't take care of himself! Good thing it's not a brain scan!

    • @FoxesAfloat
      @FoxesAfloat  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Banbury think that were LTC Rolt's started from in 1939 who wrote the book 'Narrow Boat'. Same say it was that book that started people living on a narrow boat's not just people working on the canal's (note he would not been the first to live on the canal but the book open the idea to others). Which started the movement to keep the canal's.

    • @FoxesAfloat

      That's correct, Robert! 👍🏻

    Yay!!! My two favourite silver 🦊 on TH-cam! Fantastic episode as always. Bless you Colin, you are in great hands with our great NHS.
    Since it’s been a year on Silver Fox now do you feel being on a narrow boat has provided you both the peace you were both looking for when you started in 2004? What would be your advice to someone thinking about narrow boating now you have been thru the process twice and would there be any changes you’d like to make to to silver fox after a year.
    Lots of love to you both. Shaun you’re funny 😂 and see you again soon 😘 be well and stay safe xx

    • @FoxesAfloat
      @FoxesAfloat  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey 👋
      To be honest, no. I still get stressed and anxious and meltdown every few weeks but the lifestyle is definitely better. We wouldn't make any changes to the boat at all 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    When you're done with that brace,Colin, cut off the straps with the velcro. They are as useful as a bungie cord if you know someone to stitch some ends together.

    It's great to see that Shaun is sympathetic to you,re plight 😁 , but look on the bright side before those boots were invented you would have been in plaster up to the knee . Rest and relaxation are the best cure so get Shaun to do all the work and stop him drinking because one of you leg less on a boat is enough 👍.
    Take care lads .

To fix yer leg throw it over yer left shoulder and it will heal resting it there....bad joke. I wish you a speedy recovery. Loved the vlog looking forward to the next one ✌💜🙏
