Great that you are working out your roles, the workings of the boat and the small things that help your ease and enjoyment of narrowboating. Beautiful boat! Love your pup.
Thank you Jan and thanks for the anniversary wishes. Dexter is such a laid back chap and is so expressive he is like a person in a suit sometimes. Take care and stay safe. 😃
Great video work, some really stunning shots. Love Dexter and his very visible eyebrows. I've followed you from day one and always a pleasure to watch. All the best.
Thanks Ken for your support right from the start. Glad you are enjoying the vlogs and yes, Dexter is very expressive lol. Hope you are well. Take care 😀
Thanks Davmar. It really was a beautiful place to spend our anniversary. Dexter has well and truly settled in and making himself at home (usually in the sofa in front of the fire lol) Take cara and thanks for watching. 😃
Loved your latest blog. The three of you are really enjoying your new home. The picture quality is very good and the music is really relaxing. Special hug for Dexter. Thank you both for sharing. Maurice & Val Australia
Thanks Maurice and Val, we really are loving our new life and can’t wait until the closures and winter is over to start cruising properly. Take care and thanks for watching. 😃
Anthony's beautiful smile, Paul's soft, soothing voice, Dexter's doggie cuteness and enthusiasm for his surroundings, extraordinary scenery all from a gorgeous Narrowboat. What more could a 🇺🇲 ask for to bring calm and peace to my world. Thank you for sharing and may you enjoy your togetherness as you travel the 🇬🇧Canals. ❤️😘😘😘❤️
Thanks so much Wendy. How is everything over the pond. Hope you are well. We loved that trip. Autumn (fall) is definitely my favourite season. Love the colours. Best wishes. Take care x
@@anthonysmith-storey9247 Lovely on the Easy Coast where I live. Thank you for asking. Squirrels have been busy and night are cold and crisp. Love to you three. 😘😘😘
Hello 😁. I’m 2 weeks into early retirement and it’s all been a bit weird.. on my first day at home I came across your channel and with lots of lovely time on my hands I decided to settle in and watch your vlogs in chronological order, enjoying your beautiful calming shots of the canal which I must say show wonderfully how lovely the north west really is , whilst following your journey from house to barge ( you made it all look so easy ). Keep up the good work. I feel like I know you so if you ever see me waving from the side , just ignore me 😂😂..lol..Thank you x
Beautiful guys, glad to see your getting used 2 boating life , morning star looks fantastic happy cruising guys and see you both next week. Happy belated birthday Paul.
Thank you Shirley. Glad you are enjoying the vlogs. Dexter is such a. sweet and laid back dog and has been from a pup. Hope you are keeping well and safe. Best wishes. Anthony x
Hi Guys! What a superb video. The autumn colours are amazing. The journey was very very enjoyable and how tranquil everything was. The new camera certainly has improved the quality of the pictures. Thank you again for taking me along with you. Love to Dexter. See you next week
Thank you Michael. I watched it last night and was amazed at how the colours looked and some of the shots Paul managed to get. Thank you for coming along with us and best wishes. 😃
Hi Paul, Anthony and Dexter. Great vlog, some stunning scenery. Glad you are getting used to the boat. I just love Dexter's face, especially when he has his guilty expression, it's those eyes. Take care, love to you all and stay safe 😊👍🐶💜
Thanks Christine. He is so expressive lol. He gets away with murder. We are getting there with the boat. No regrets and loving being on the water. Hope you are ok. Take care 😃
You all 3 look pretty blissed out. The new camera has given us brighter images and crisp detail, very nice. The early morning mist on the water is gorgeous. Happy Anniversary!
Thank you on both counts. We couldn’t be happier with the boat and the way the colour has turned out. Thank you for taking time out to watch us and for the lovely comment. 😃
Hey Guys!....Hope you're all well! Another great video and as always lovely music in the background. Stunning scenery and Autumn colour, life certainly looks good. Dexter appears to be taking it all in his stride. Shame you've had to ditch the coffee machine. I'm pleased you're managing to get some cruising done and the weather has held up for you. Belated Anniversary wishes to you!.....Stay safe and well!
Hey James. Thanks for the anniversary wishes. Dexter is definitely loving life. We didn’t have to get rid of the machine in the end, turns out it was the faulty relay and not a power hungry coffee machine 😃. Hope you are well. Keep safe 😃
Was so looking forward again to see your latest vlog.... we saw so much of Dexter loved that... aww don’t bicker you two... your in this together and will get used to what one another is doing like you said.... beautiful morning scenery makes life worth living .... ooh Happy Happy anniversary for 9 years... wow 20 years .... wonderful.... lovely to see you Anthony more ... you both have lovely complexions .... oh no hated you had a relay problem but glad it got sorted ... can’t wait to see you again.... seeing your new lives on your boat is one of my favourite things to watch .... I really love how your both love your Dexter..... lots of love for now xxxxxx
Aww thank you Tanya. Guess we wanted to show we are a real couple who have disagreements like everyone else. We are definitely settling into a routine. I think Dexter is definitely the star. Someone said to Paul the other day “Are you the guys who do the vlog, I recognised your dog 😂🤣. I said to Paul “not you then, just Dexter” 😂. Hope you are keeping safe. Always nice to hear from you. X
Great to see you guys enjoying your lovely boat and now lifestyle. Its also good to see how you have taken on such a big decision and clearly enjoying every min of it. Dexter has taken to it well I see and a narrowboat is not complete without a lovely 4 legged animal. Hope the forthcoming lock down doesn't hamper your adventures too much. Keep safe and here's to many more adventures.
Cheers Martin. We absolutely love it and yes, the lifestyle is perfect for Dexter. Lockdown will prevent us cruising unfortunately but better to be safe. Take care. 😃
Super quality film. You both have took to your new home like ducks to water. You handle the boat as though you have years of experience to me. Nice to see you on the move after waiting so long. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you so much. It was amazing to be finally cruising. She handles amazingly. We are absolutely loving the boat though the new lockdown rules may prevent us from further cruising. 😢. Take care and stay safe 😃
I’m gonna watch this again tonight with a glass of Merlot. So beautiful and relaxing. Looking forward to more beautiful trips gliding past birds and trees. Thank you both! Oh, and Dexter too!
Another lovely video, the boat looks stunning..Dexter looks happy and enjoying exploring the towpath. Happy Anniversary guys 🥂 and Happy Birthday Paul 🎂. looking forward to more of your vlogs, take care.
You know, guys, it takes time to get a rhythm to your days and you will have to adapt again once you are moored up for winter..but that's part of the fun and a good bicker always clears the air. I loved the misty morning shots and I loved watching Dexter, what a patient old boy he is. Keep well and safe. Hugs.
Thanks Lesley, you are definitely right and we are getting there. We wanted to show that we are a real couple with the same issues others have and it isn’t always laughs and smiles (mainly it is 😂). Dexter is such a laid back dog and is taking everything in his store. Hope you are well. Take care and keep safe 😃
Thank you so much. Getting out was awesome. Can’t believe we go into lockdown again so we are thankful for the cruising chance. Hope you are well. Take care 😃
G'day Anthony and Paul. I really enjoyed the Vlog. The changing colours along the canal are stunning. Down here in Australia we are going into Summer. Morning Star looks amazing. Thinking of you both with the UK going into lockdown.
Cheers Adrian. Autumn is really special time I think and my favourite season. Glad you enjoyed the vlog. How are things in Oz? I think it was inevitable the lockdown in the U.K. but fingers crossed 🤞 it will ease by Christmas. Take care, stay safe 😄
@@anthonysmith-storey9247 We are very fortunate down here. There is Covid in Australia. Infection is very low and deaths are very low. We can still travel around Australia. I really hope the UK can knock down the numbers of infections. Same to you both stay safe.
Thank you so much for your continued support and for sticking with the channel. Thanks for the anniversary wishes. Can’t believe we got to spend it aboard Morning Star. Best wishes 😃
Just getting warmed up on cruising with the new boat...looks beautiful btw...roles and actions will smooth over time...love the videos! Happy anniversary, guys!
Happy Belated Birthday ❣ Wish I could see the beautiful flying wildlife you were describing. If flying it would be a wedge of swan, if in water or land , it is a bevy of swans or flock, sometimes a bank. Geese are called a gaggle in a group. Ducks are referred to as a raft when in groups they are also called a flock, team as any fowl can be called generically. If flying it would be a scheme of ducks. When swimming they can be called a paddleing of ducks. These are a few terms you can use while cruising the cut and painting or photographing the water fowl. I love to learn new trivial things like this to enhance my knowledge for trivia! Lol. The boat is looking great and the two of you already look like pros at the rudder. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Stay safe and healthy. ☮💟😀 from your friend in the 🇺🇸. 🎃🎃🐱🦇🎃🎃🕸🕷🎃🎃⚰🎃🎃👻☠🎃🎃💀👿🎃🎃😱🤡🎃🎃😈👺🎃🎃👹👽🎃🎃 Happy Halloween😷🎃🎃
Thanks Erin. I like trivia like that too. I think my favourite bird collection names is a murder of crows (how Kewl is that) and a charm of goldfinch. Glad you like the boat. We love her. Hope you are keeping safe in the 🇺🇸. Looks like we are going into a month lockdown from Wednesday here in 🇬🇧. Stay safe and best wishes 😃
Thank you Richard and we heard nothing but great things about Bickerstaffe and that’s one of the reasons we chose them to build a boat. They are a great team and lovely people 👍
Cheers Richard. We are indeed loving the lifestyle. We absolutely love it. Thanks for the anniversary wishes. Hope you are keeping well and safe. Take care 😃
Thank you Francisco. We love our new life too. Fingers crossed you get to experience the canals too. They have a real calming effect. Hope you are well and safe. Take care 😃
Thank you. I was pretty pleased with the steering into the lock. I even noticed the guy we were sharing with didn’t trust me by putting his foot out 😂🤣. Thanks for the anniversary wishes. Take care 😀
Such lovely crisp footage. New camera is definitely paying off. Some of the best Fall footage I’ve seen. Absolutely stunning. Dexter is such a love bug, waiting for Anthony. Nothing better than chasing ducks lol. I love that Dexter’s life vest matches the boat colour. So smart on him. Have a great week. Can’t wait to see the next vlog🇨🇦❤️❤️
Thank you Elaine. He is an absolute beautiful dog (I know I am biased 😍) we had a whale of a time on that trip. Hope you are well and safe in Canada? Take care x
@@anthonysmith-storey9247 yes I’m on the east coast of Canada in Halifax Nova Scotia. We are enjoying a beautiful Fall but are expecting snow any day now. Stay safe and warm👍
SO beautiful. Very interesting about the coffee maker. Glad you shared that. I always wondered about coffee makers on a narrow boat. You see, my best friend is my coffee maker so these things are good to know LOL
Lol. Thanks Leslie. The coffee machine got to stay as it turned out it wasn’t too bad after all and the relay was the cause of all our power issues. Hope you are ok. Stay safe 😀
Cheers Richard and thanks for sticking with us. Glad you are enjoying them and thanks for the compliment re them getting better. Take care and stay safe 😃
We love the views, the leaves, the totally artsy camera shots. Very different from many other vlogs, though we also enjoy their approaches. We do notice the picture quality improvement, sharp and clear. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Connie. We try and be more nature based with the vlogs rather than the main focus being the boat. Thank you for your lovely comments and for watching us. Take care 😃
Just found you and must say, your vlogs are enjoyable to watch. Thank you for embracing a low key, peaceful approach to your new lifestyle. Although there are many narrowboat vloggers, we prefer to subscribe and support those who share the beauty of their experiences rather than those that feel they must speak through the entire vlog. Having a beautiful pup also helps ; ) Best wishes and safe travels.
Thank you SO MUCH for your kind comments, that’s the feeling we wanted to portray, the beauty of the countryside and what we love about narrowboats and cruising. Dexter is 12 today 🐕 💕
Aww thank you so much. What a lovely comment and pleased you found our channel. Immersing ourselves in nature was a major reason for our lifestyle change and one we wanted to convey. Thank you for watching. Stay safe 😀 ps Dexter is definitely the star 😃
I finally got the vlog to play on my tv. Wow! It looks amazing, & felt like I was riding along 😁 We had terrible ice storms in Oklahoma City last week, our poor trees! It was awful they are so broken. I don’t think there was one tree untouched for miles. We kept our power throughout in my area because tornadoes ( in our area from yrs ago) caused lines to be buried. Only good point about it. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching. Hope you are all safe post the storms. Sounds terrible. Glad you found our vlog and thanks for watching. Take care and stay safe over the pond 😃
Your boat looks amazing on the canals now so sleek a beautiful vlog so well filmed so wish I was on the canals today even in this weather stay safe n well guys
Cheers Philip. We love being on the water and there is nothing better than listening to the rain on the roof with the fire lit knowing we don’t have to go out 😃. Take care and stay safe. 😃
The new Canon working well Paul beautiful photography, you both have taken to the life like ducks to water, by the way thank you for getting my painting out to me it’s arrived safe & sound. Take care both & happy anniversary. Stay safe.
Absolutely brilliant video, night off work so got to watch it early👍 the photography was truly spectacular. Happy anniversary I hope you managed to get your celebratory meal in the end.💕
Great video, colours and sharpness of your new Canon camera are amazing. You both look well and relaxed after all the build up to getting your boat. Hope you will give us a snap shot into “comforts on board” and the layout of your interior. Stay well, keep safe. ✨
Thank you David. We have only been chatting today regarding showing the interior of the boat. We are well and truly settled now, so much so I hate having to leave the boat for work 😕. Hope you are good. Take care 😀
Hello from Florida! Just recently started watching your vlog. (I've been a subscriber to Colin and Shawn's Foxes Afloat vlog.) Your videos are excellent. I must say that Anthony sees more relaxed this week. He seemed quite reserved in the prior episode. It looks like you both are enjoying yourselves more. Congrats on your anniversary. My husband and I, after 19 years together, finally made it legal last November.
Congratulations to you both. Thank you for stumbling across our channel and sticking with it. Glad you are enjoying them. I do feel a little more relaxed although I am more camera shy than Paul I guess. Hope all is well in Florida and you are keeping safe. Best wishes 😃
Thank you for another fab vlog. Dexters face and expressions are too cute💕
Thank you 😊 💕
Aww thank you Sherri. Hope this lockdown business isn’t affecting you too much. Take care. X

Nice footage. So peaceful! I’m sitting here with snow on the ground in America. This looks so lovely in comparison.
Thanks Brenda. Glad you enjoyed the vlog and I would love to be in the USA when it’s snowing, I have only witnessed that once 💕
Well, it’s not unusual for us to get 15-24 inches of snow in mid winter! I’m in New England, Maine actually.
Great video work, some really stunning shots. Love Dexter and his very visible eyebrows. I've followed you from day one and always a pleasure to watch. All the best.

When swimming they can be called a paddleing of ducks. These are a few terms you can use while cruising the cut and painting or photographing the water fowl. I love to learn new trivial things like this to enhance my knowledge for trivia! Lol. The boat is looking great and the two of you already look like pros at the rudder. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Stay safe and healthy. ☮💟😀 from your friend in the 🇺🇸. 🎃🎃🐱🦇🎃🎃🕸🕷🎃🎃⚰🎃🎃👻☠🎃🎃💀👿🎃🎃😱🤡🎃🎃😈👺🎃🎃👹👽🎃🎃 Happy Halloween😷🎃🎃
Thanks Erin. I like trivia like that too. I think my favourite bird collection names is a murder of crows (how Kewl is that) and a charm of goldfinch. Glad you like the boat. We love her. Hope you are keeping safe in the 🇺🇸. Looks like we are going into a month lockdown from Wednesday here in 🇬🇧. Stay safe and best wishes 😃
A great vlog guys. I can see both you loving the narrow boat lifestyle. Happy 9th anniversary. Bickerstaff customer service is second to none.
Thank you Richard and we heard nothing but great things about Bickerstaffe and that’s one of the reasons we chose them to build a boat. They are a great team and lovely people 👍
Cheers Richard. We are indeed loving the lifestyle. We absolutely love it. Thanks for the anniversary wishes. Hope you are keeping well and safe. Take care 😃
Fantastic scenery, love your new life, willing to go on the canals next time in UK, have lots of fun!
Thank you Francisco and thanks for watching 👍
Thank you Francisco. We love our new life too. Fingers crossed you get to experience the canals too. They have a real calming effect. Hope you are well and safe. Take care 😃
You sound and look more relaxed. Enjoy lads :)
Cheers Phil. Getting used to the boat more now. Still not keen on being filmed 😂🤣. Hope you are well. Take care 😃
We enjoyed your vlog. You are really good with the camera, some stunning shots.
Thank you so much Jenny, stay safe 💕
Thank you Jenny. Glad you are enjoying the vlogs. Paul does have a very good eye (I know I am biased). Take care and stay safe. 😃
Delightful! Great steering, Anthony! Happy Anniversary, you two!
Thank you, I agree, Anthony is great at the tiller 👍
Thank you. I was pretty pleased with the steering into the lock. I even noticed the guy we were sharing with didn’t trust me by putting his foot out 😂🤣. Thanks for the anniversary wishes. Take care 😀
Great picture quality. Dexter's harness matching the boat was purely coincidence I'm sure. LOL :)
Thanks Linda of course 😘
Lol. I wish O could say it was Linda 😉 I spent ages looking for that harness 😂🤣. Hope you are well. Take care 😄
Such lovely crisp footage. New camera is definitely paying off. Some of the best Fall footage I’ve seen. Absolutely stunning. Dexter is such a love bug, waiting for Anthony. Nothing better than chasing ducks lol. I love that Dexter’s life vest matches the boat colour. So smart on him. Have a great week. Can’t wait to see the next vlog🇨🇦❤️❤️
Thank you Elaine. He is an absolute beautiful dog (I know I am biased 😍) we had a whale of a time on that trip. Hope you are well and safe in Canada? Take care x
@@anthonysmith-storey9247 yes I’m on the east coast of Canada in Halifax Nova Scotia. We are enjoying a beautiful Fall but are expecting snow any day now. Stay safe and warm👍
I think it looks cool , total different way of relax living,
Cheers Gary. We are absolutely loving it 😃. Stay safe.
SO beautiful. Very interesting about the coffee maker. Glad you shared that. I always wondered about coffee makers on a narrow boat. You see, my best friend is my coffee maker so these things are good to know LOL
Hi Leslie thank you. Turns out we can use the coffee maker it was the relay switch that caused the power to drop.
Lol. Thanks Leslie. The coffee machine got to stay as it turned out it wasn’t too bad after all and the relay was the cause of all our power issues. Hope you are ok. Stay safe 😀
Nice one lads Dexter is one cool dude wi his matching jacket canal life suits him ✌️🙂🐶
Cheers Lee. He seems to be loving it and taking life on board in his stride. Can’t believe I managed to find a best to match the boat 😂. Take care. 😃
Happy anniversary, gentlemen. 🥂 to many more.
Thank you so much that’s very kind 💕
Cheers Bruce. We had the best anniversary sharing it on Morning Star. Take care 😀
Absolutely love your boat. 😊
And thanks for showing such beautiful scenery. Hope you both got to celebrate your anniversary 😘
Thanks Sheila and thanks for watching. Glad you like the colour, if changes depending on the light during the day which we love. Take care 💕

Thank you Sue. We are loving it. Thanks for watching and commenting. We always love the comments. Take care 😃

Thank you so much. Can’t believe we are going into lockdown again. Hope the vlogs help in some way. Even just a little. Take care. Stay safe 😃
Love the honesty with the wee bickering too. Was the same when I went away with the family, but soon settled down. 🙏
Thank you and thanks for watching 💕

Just found your channel! Loving it , your photography is beautiful 🌟
Hi Julia thank you so much and welcome aboard 💕
Thank you Julia and glad you found our channel. Hope you are well and keeping safe. Take care 😃
Love the colour scheme of your boat!
Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
We love the views, the leaves, the totally artsy camera shots. Very different from many other vlogs, though we also enjoy their approaches. We do notice the picture quality improvement, sharp and clear. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Connie. We try and be more nature based with the vlogs rather than the main focus being the boat. Thank you for your lovely comments and for watching us. Take care 😃
You have a lovely style of presentation, so happy that your enjoying your new life. Keep the vlogs coming.
Thank you Donna. Paul is enjoying making them and I guess that is the main thing. Hope you are keeping well. 😃
Thank you so much, it’s taken me a while to find our own perspective but glad people are noticing 💕
Thank you that was great 👍😀
Cheers Steven. Hope you are enjoying the weekend. 😃
Just found you and must say, your vlogs are enjoyable to watch. Thank you for embracing a low key, peaceful approach to your new lifestyle. Although there are many narrowboat vloggers, we prefer to subscribe and support those who share the beauty of their experiences rather than those that feel they must speak through the entire vlog. Having a beautiful pup also helps ; ) Best wishes and safe travels.
Thank you SO MUCH for your kind comments, that’s the feeling we wanted to portray, the beauty of the countryside and what we love about narrowboats and cruising. Dexter is 12 today 🐕 💕
Aww thank you so much. What a lovely comment and pleased you found our channel. Immersing ourselves in nature was a major reason for our lifestyle change and one we wanted to convey. Thank you for watching. Stay safe 😀 ps Dexter is definitely the star 😃
@@anthonysmith-storey9247 Dexter is a lovely pup - his eyebrows are so expressive
@@katherinekelly5380 😂. Everyone says that about his eyebrows, ❤️
Happy 9th Anniversary to you both here’s to plenty more 🍾
Thank you so much Christine 💕
Thank you Christine. It was extra special as we got to spend it aboard Morning Star and of course, share it with Dexter 😃. Take care and stay safe x
I finally got the vlog to play on my tv. Wow! It looks amazing, & felt like I was riding along 😁
We had terrible ice storms in Oklahoma City last week, our poor trees! It was awful they are so broken. I don’t think there was one tree untouched for miles. We kept our power throughout in my area because tornadoes ( in our area from yrs ago) caused lines to be buried. Only good point about it.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching. Hope you are all safe post the storms. Sounds terrible.
Glad you found our vlog and thanks for watching. Take care and stay safe over the pond 😃
Stunning photography with equally stunning background music. Every scene is fit for a jigsaw puzzle 🤗
Thanks Caroline. Glad you enjoyed😃. Keep safe.
What a beautiful vlog great way to spend your anniversary, Dexter loving the life too. 🎃🍁🍂🐾👍🏼
Thanks Cheryl 💕
Thanks Cheryl. He most definitely is lol. Thanks for the anniversary wishes. Take care x
lovely to see you settling happily into narrowboat life! Beautiful vlog. Dexter seems to be living the doggie dream! xx
Thanks Louise. I am coming back as Dexter 😂. We are absolutely loving it and each day makes us sure we did the right thing. Take care. 😃
Happy Anniversary!! 🥂 what a wonderful life you are making together ❤️
Thank you so much Cherry 💕
Thank you Cherry. We are loving it so far. Take care 😃
That 'Gem' would make a beautiful painting, Dexter looks like he's loving life x
Aww thank you. He definitely is. Lord Muck! 😂. Hope you are having a good weekend despite this weather. Take care 😃
Your boat looks amazing on the canals now so sleek a beautiful vlog so well filmed so wish I was on the canals today even in this weather stay safe n well guys
Thank you so much. We were hoping to get out on the cut today but it’s far too windy. Keep watching 👍💕
Cheers Philip. We love being on the water and there is nothing better than listening to the rain on the roof with the fire lit knowing we don’t have to go out 😃. Take care and stay safe. 😃
@@anthonysmith-storey9247 will do stopping raining now crank it
The new Canon working well Paul beautiful photography, you both have taken to the life like ducks to water, by the way thank you for getting my painting out to me it’s arrived safe & sound. Take care both & happy anniversary. Stay safe.

Thanks Irene. Have a nice night off and thanks for watching the vlog. We did end up enjoying our meal eventually lol. Take care 😃
Lovely scenery! Really enjoying your channel, keep up the good work. All the best from Devizes on the Kennet and Avon!
Thank you both and thanks for watching. We are loving boat life and immersing in nature. Hope you guys are well. Take care x
Great video, colours and sharpness of your new Canon camera are amazing. You both look well and relaxed after all the build up to getting your boat. Hope you will give us a snap shot into “comforts on board” and the layout of your interior. Stay well, keep safe. ✨
Thank you David. We have only been chatting today regarding showing the interior of the boat. We are well and truly settled now, so much so I hate having to leave the boat for work 😕. Hope you are good. Take care 😀
Hello from Florida! Just recently started watching your vlog. (I've been a subscriber to Colin and Shawn's Foxes Afloat vlog.) Your videos are excellent. I must say that Anthony sees more relaxed this week. He seemed quite reserved in the prior episode. It looks like you both are enjoying yourselves more. Congrats on your anniversary. My husband and I, after 19 years together, finally made it legal last November.
Thank you so much for your comment and for watching our channel. Big congratulations to you both too. Paul, Anthony & Dexter 💕
Congratulations to you both. Thank you for stumbling across our channel and sticking with it. Glad you are enjoying them. I do feel a little more relaxed although I am more camera shy than Paul I guess. Hope all is well in Florida and you are keeping safe. Best wishes 😃
