I love this comment so much. You described me perfectly. Almost brought a tear to my eye. Well done Stephen! I'm pinning this comment to the top of the vlog! 💜
I get up on a Saturday morning, each week here in Australia, get a coffee and settle in to watch Foxes Afloats next adventure. Great way to start the weekend.
Hi guys . Where you started on this episode brought a tear to my eye. It was the very place my wife and I passed through on our honeymoon on the Oxford canal 52 years ago. I have a photo of Hilary, my missus, here, who died from breast cancer in 2015 , steering the grotty boat (we hired from Willow Wren cruisers), north of this lift bridge. The boat was an ex-Norfolk broads cruiser which had seen better days over the season and was battered and worn beyond belief, with it's engine, which was within the cabin, and stinking of petrol. The roof leaked and the cutlery and crockery was horrible and badly washed and greasy. The "facilities" were in the bow section and to sit on the pump out toilet (which discharged directly into the canal, this being 1968!) required lifting a deck hatch above with your head exposed, a feature which was 'interesting" to any gongoozler looking over a bridge parapet! On arrival at Oxford, we were so teed off with the situation we left the boat and looked for an hotel to get a good night's sleep. We tried a decent hotel, the Crown and Mitre, in the town but were told that there were no vacancies (probably due to our appearance) so ended up in a third rate commercial place after a meal of fish and sprouts (uh!) in their so-called restaurant. Despite this unsavoury start to married life we stayed together for 47 years! I have a photo of this lift bridge and the occasion, but cannot forward it as I don't see any way of adding this. Happy days!! We spent some subsequent happy times on the canals in vessels of a much higher specification!!
Wow! Brought a tear too my eye too! I love it when our videos bring back memories, although I'm sorry it was tinged with sadness for you 💜 Fish and sprouts...? WTF? 😂
Your vlogs and your personalities along with the tidbits of great information makes you two guys one of the most enjoyable to watch. Love your content!
Crod Lock It! Narrowboard cursing, I love it! Thanks for the lunchtime (for me) break and visit. Stay safe guys! (and Dhillon). You're a breath of fresh air in a hectic week.
Looks like I'm not the only Aussie that has you guys in for breakfast on a Saturday. Thanks for the chuckles...good to see that everybody is (mostly) well.
😆😆😆... Crod... that’s the best word I’ve heard all year! You guys are the best! Your narrow boat is the nicest one I’ve seen! Just stunning! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. 💕
Howdy Guyz! Actually, it's 4 corners National Park, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado & Utah where you can put your feet & hands in 4 different states. Big Hugs!
That's because as an Englishman I find The Simpsons more entertaining than studying US geography 😛 Remember, we're a light-hearted vlog, not National Geographic 😉
Always look forward to Friday and your vlog, a breath of fresh air and fun. I hope your leg will heal on its own or is easily fixable. Try not to breath in the hospital, and don’t touch anything! All the best to the two of you.
I liked the little history lesson on the battle from the English Civil War. The truce negotiations sounded like a scene from a Mel Brooks or Monty Python movie --- LOL
Your storytelling and cinematography is AMAZING. This is world class documentary. I can feel the LOVE you put into it. I am currently renting a boathouse Airbnb and decided to look up what is it like living in one for longer and came across your channel. Well done guys :) What an blessed and beautiful life. You are inspirational, knowledgable and funny. Thank you for sharing this with the world. Big hugs
Stay off the leg, Colin! Hope it mends with the help in Banbury. Looking forward to seeing the next video, as always! Thanks to you both for all the efforts on these, and sharing your travels with us!
You are both so funny and such a great couple ... I love your lifestyle, it looks so relaxing and I like that you add in some of the history too ..We are van people and travel in our van ..I could see us getting a boat one day ... thanks for your great videos x
Wonderful video! Good job on the locks Shaun. 👍 Thank you for sharing the pictures showing old and new buildings, how amazing that they didn't change that much. I love the look of your narrowboat, everytime I see it I think it looks very handsome...if a narrowboat can be called handsome. 😊 Hope your leg gets better fast Colin. Please give beautiful Dillon a cuddle for me. 💖 Take really good care of yourselves...stay safe!
Nostalgic viewing whilst sitting in lockdown in rural East Sussex - Our narrowboat was moored for 5 years at Cropredy. Almost recognised every blade of grass on your journey from Fenny Compton. Discovered a lot of new facts from you on this vlog - Informative as ever 👍
Guys, you are awesome. Please take good care. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Oh and thanks so much for the subtitles! I need them, being deaf. So that’s really great.
Lovely videography-----really enjoyed your video. Beautiful scenery----wish I lived in the UK! Hope the visit to hospital brings some help with the leg issue. Best wishes from northern New York State.
Frank and I use a motorhome, but your lifestyle is fascinating, you in the U.K. and us (49 yrs) here in Michigan. Thanks for the great laughter and life.
From Brisbane; Saturday night cannot end before we see what the boys on the Silver Fox have been up to. Allways great viewing, better than most of what is on the telly!
I'm sitting here struggling to come up with words...I have so thoroughly enjoyed and been inspired by all your vlogs. I have laughed with you, and cried with you. As a child I struggled in school. OCD and ADHD, were terms that did not exist when I was a child. Almost terminal shyness, that teachers and other kids did not understand, and so hard to make friends. It didn't help that I was reading at the level of children six to seven years older. At a University, I struggled with self doubt, depression, and a meltdown, and came home to a mother who did the best she could to support me, but a father who just couldn't understand. There were several attempts at returning to college in my twenties, but I would self destruct. I worked in a grocery store and my fix back then was to get a different car, or motorbike, and I would be Ok for a while. I finally went back to school in my forties and got a degree. I was in the Honor Society, and multiple times on the Presidents Honor Roll, but the self doubt and depression was Hell, because in my mind, I wasn't worthy, I didn't work hard enough for these grades. I had started taking medication but the side effects of some drugs can be debilitating, so I stopped. I have been working at that college for over twenty years now. I still sometimes struggle with depression but having someone in my life to hold onto gives me the hope that I need to carry on. I think Silver Fox is beautiful. Take care of her, and hold on to each other.
Such a familiar story, and you're right that no diagnosis took place back when we were younger. Glad you are able to support yourself. Thanks for a lovely comment 💜
Hey! Love the videos, very nice production quality stuff. I find the canals there facinating and wish to holiday there and try it. I am a Lake boater in USA Oklahoma on lake Eufaula. Cheers!!
Crod! 😂 genius. I love it. I’ve always wondered where words came from and now I’ve just witnessed the birth of crod! I hope your leg is feeling better Colin. Take care and stay safe both of you x
Following on from the "Good Friday" comment below with an Easter Sunday one... Happy Easter! Congratulations on hitting 100k subscribers too!! Thoroughly deserved. Whilst I'm here, just wanted to say thank you for the journey so far... I have been binge watching from the start and it's been great to see Silver Fox taking shape and taking to the water.
Good morning Gentlemen, great vlog as usual! I'm having toast and tea this morning while watching your video. Your countries' traditions are rubbing off on me, quite good though! So happy to hear from you gent's today. Your videos are short it seems. A video of Colin's Dr. visit would be nice, as we all wish a speedy recovery for you Colin. Be good and stay safe, Henry H.🤗
Thanks, Henry. Our videos are short? They've always been 20-25 mins and are comparable or a little longer than most of the others 😂 Are you sure it's tea you're drinking? More on Colin's leg next week, but we're not allowed to film inside the hospital.
@@FoxesAfloat Just Green Tea with Lemon and Ginger, nothing any spicy'er than your hinting!! Well I am just happy to hear from you guys and seeing you smiling and laughing. Thanks for being my favorite people on You Tube, always looking forward to seeing your next vlogs. Love You Guys 😁
Cracking block chaps. Liked the crash scene lol, bet that took some blacking off!! Not long now then back to cruising network. Yippee or in our case back to more boat rebuilding!!! PS Buster says can you set up 'Buy Dillon a treat' like Eric on Weir Afloat so we can give him a treat.
Thanks for a sweet video. Like starting my mornings with you both. Learning so much history and loving the stories! Safe keeping. Morning from Canadian Gwen in Panama...what do the three words mean? s this a game or something? You guys make me laugh out loud...sometimes I don’t understand the accent but Im learning ...
Another great vlog. I have been going thru all your vlogs from number 1 over the last coupe of weeks and I can't remember what you did to your leg. Was it when you slipped at one of the locks. Future vlogs are going to be interesting if you have done some damage. - good luck with the diagnosis. I'm nearly up to date so will soon find out.
Hello guys. Loving your Vlogs, has inspired us to take our first trip out on a narrow boat in a couple of weeks time. Out of interest do you have to you specific washing powder/liquid?
Hi guys (all 3:) wonderful upbeat and joyous episode. Ducks!! No mention of the current 'thing' and plenty of laughter. Thank-you from sunny and (nearly) canal-free Devon.
You posted your What3words location and I looked it up. In the process, What3words also showed suggested locations that have a similar spelling. You were at clearcut.probably.human and the app suggested clearcut.improbably.human, which is about 50 miles from me, here in Wisconsin, USA. Unfortunately, we have no canals here...
hiya gents hows life treating, I enjoy ambling down the canals every Friday with you two, history photography the laughs all chucked in for nowt spot on, hope all goes ok with the leg feller, take care keep well keep safe.
For corners sweeties, and if you're young you do the backwards brigde thing with arms and legs placed in each state. Actually got a picture of me doing that somewhere. Have to admit that the thought of what goes into the the fith state,well...... 😝😚
Awesome video,love your brilliant and very funny banter,hope your leg gets better soon Colin l think Shaun is so hilarious,just love ❤️ him, Stay safe guys,
Wait, is Shaun really that bad at filming? Maybe he just needs some practice. And Shaun, if I could subscribe more than once, I would!!! This channel is that good!!!
Brilliant vlog lads, camera work, editing, music all top drawer. Colin, Sean, Dillon and Silver Fox...........What a team! 👍 Thanks for the laughs and entertainment!
I just love the way Dillon appears to be supervising your progress through the locks! Cracking video, stunning footage, first class banter, and local trivia to boot! My Saturday night is complete, lol. Cheers me dears!
Shaun- typical trucker "didn't see it" lol Did you do that on the buses as well? I'm allowed to poke fun cus I drive buses and coaches, also did time on the trucks
Is there some kind of bumpers or even wheels to prevent damage to the boat if you do bump the sides of the canal on occasion either in those really tight passages or when you simply make a mistake?
When I lived in Bicester my friend, Sgt Karen West lived in Cropredy. Several musicians lived near here; members of Jethro Tull, Penny Farthing, members of Sandy Denny's band amongst others. She said there was always music in the village on the weekend.
Traaain! You know things are bad when they're distancing the containers on the trains! Hope the leg is better after your hospital visit Colin. Usually it's worst though after the doctors had had a prod and a pull at stuff. Interesting the CRT guy asked you to leave the gates open as the bywashes normally take care of refilling the pounds. With the gates open there's nothing to set the level of the pounds.
I'm a new subscriber and lowkey obsessed with your content❣ I've been binge watching your vlogs. So happy to have come across your channel - the positivity and light heartedness of your uploads are truly a boost in this trying times.
Great vlog again guys manage to watch you after we got our internet back on.full of information as usual,keep them coming every week and both keep safe and hope the leg starts getting better soon
Thanks guys always love you two it must be great with the weather being so good hope your managing to get plenty of food and water love cropedy the festival but not this year its well worth going if you ever get the chance. Sorry to hear that your legs bad hope its better soon love to you both . Lorraine +Phil X
My partner and I have been together 24 years, we/he owns a large gravel company and several farms, in 24 years we have never shared the love you two have.
Smashing grate super.You have me laughing out loud. Your in the area where I go to do Train video's, Wormlaton Resevoir, Cropedy, clayden, Banbury etc. The train you filmed was on the Marylebone Birmingham line, Full of interst lads. thank you
Great video as ever from the two of you but special mention must go to Shaun today.Effortlessly leaping across locks,hurtling down towpaths,flinging bags of rubbish around as if they were full of feathers and cranking duty at the locks at double speed.All this without breaking a sweat.Canal life seems to be an excellent gym substitute for keeping you fit.
It's great watching you two . Very informative as well. One of my uncles was born on a barge when my grandad worked on one for a year but brought his family with him
Crod, that was great. Love Colin's 'stream of consciousness' and Shaun's wonderful expressions. Hope the leg is better soon Colin. Thank you lads, as always.
Lovelly seeing my old haunts from eons ago ,we used to go fishing in the canal at Watford as kids at the end of the war , and the mention of Hunton Bridge . Used to cycle past the Ovalteen Dairy farm on my way to work & back .
Hello Colin, Shaun and Dillion. How are you guys doing? I watched the video and Colin it's called the Four Corners in the US. It's where, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet. I been there several time, grandmother lived in Montana. Hope all is well with everyone. Take Care

You were at clearcut.probably.human and the app suggested clearcut.improbably.human, which is about 50 miles from me, here in Wisconsin, USA. Unfortunately, we have no canals here...
Wow! Coincidence!
Your life seems so laid back on the canals and interesting ! Can't tell you how much I am enjoying all your stories and videos x.
Thank you so much!
4 corners,Colorado,New Mexico,Az,,Utah
We were referring t the Simpsons episode 😉 😂
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm much to old for Shawn,but he is lovely.
💜😂
hiya gents hows life treating, I enjoy ambling down the canals every Friday with you two, history photography the laughs all chucked in for nowt spot on, hope all goes ok with the leg feller, take care keep well keep safe.
Thanks for that. More on the leg next week 🦵
For corners sweeties, and if you're young you do the backwards brigde thing with arms and legs placed in each state. Actually got a picture of me doing that somewhere. Have to admit that the thought of what goes into the the fith state,well...... 😝😚
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Oh Friday!!!! Wonderful episode. Love the history and humor. Gorgeous day.
Glad you enjoyed it, Margaret. Thank you 💜
I have a new favorite word: "Crod!"
Haha! In the dictionary next year 😂
Beautiful part of the world, Hope everything goes well at the hospital
Thanks, Lee 💜
So how much did you pay the ducks to fly in on cue at 12.08? And are they fully paid up members of Actors' Equity?
Haha! It took 36 takes to get that right. One of those poor ducks has got RSI in his wing now 😂
Foxes Afloat 😂😂😂🌷

Hi from Ireland, another nice one ,take care and relax .
Thanks, you too!
Wait, is Shaun really that bad at filming? Maybe he just needs some practice. And Shaun, if I could subscribe more than once, I would!!! This channel is that good!!!
That's very kind of you to say, Ornery! 👍🏻
@@FoxesAfloat; thank you. And I do mean it.
Brilliant vlog lads, camera work, editing, music all top drawer. Colin, Sean, Dillon and Silver Fox...........What a team! 👍 Thanks for the laughs and entertainment!
Thanks 👍
Shaun, how did you not see the hump in the bank, we all saw it and shouted, you still hit it.
😅
@@FoxesAfloatShaun, Did you drive your bus the same way????????
I just love the way Dillon appears to be supervising your progress through the locks! Cracking video, stunning footage, first class banter, and local trivia to boot! My Saturday night is complete, lol. Cheers me dears!
Thanks 👍
LOL!! Guys fantastic vid as always. I live in Wales, and can throw a stone into England, does that count for straddling a border??
Stradling a border sounds pretty rude 😛
@@FoxesAfloat LOL!! Point taken, love the humour !!!
@naughty boy 😂😂😳
@naughty boy LOL! you gotta go some to catch one of them.. Sheep are slower HEHE!!
Great journey yet again..
Catch you tomorrow and nice evening
Looking forward to it 👍🏻
Shaun- typical trucker "didn't see it" lol Did you do that on the buses as well? I'm allowed to poke fun cus I drive buses and coaches, also did time on the trucks
👍🏻👍🏻😂😂
Entertaining & informative as always, with a dash of quirky humour. 😉
Thank you kindly 👍🏻
Is there some kind of bumpers or even wheels to prevent damage to the boat if you do bump the sides of the canal on occasion either in those really tight passages or when you simply make a mistake?
Yes, called rubbing strakes. Boats have a few wrapped around the steel hull to take the knocks 👍🏻
@@FoxesAfloat Phew! Otherwise I'd crash the boat for sure in those incredibly tight spots I've seen you two navigate...
When I lived in Bicester my friend, Sgt Karen West lived in Cropredy. Several musicians lived near here; members of Jethro Tull, Penny Farthing, members of Sandy Denny's band amongst others. She said there was always music in the village on the weekend.
Traaain! You know things are bad when they're distancing the containers on the trains!
Hope the leg is better after your hospital visit Colin. Usually it's worst though after the doctors had had a prod and a pull at stuff.
Interesting the CRT guy asked you to leave the gates open as the bywashes normally take care of refilling the pounds. With the gates open there's nothing to set the level of the pounds.
We just follow the instructions given to us 👊🏻
Your videos are every relaxing and beautiful.
Thank you so much!
I am so glad I found you guys. Thank you for your videos. Take care.😷🦠👽🏴

Our pleasure!
Smashing grate super.You have me laughing out loud. Your in the area where I go to do Train video's, Wormlaton Resevoir, Cropedy, clayden, Banbury etc. The train you filmed was on the Marylebone Birmingham line, Full of interst lads. thank you
That's awesome. Glad I didn't cock it up! 😂😂😂
The piano music was spot on! I always forget to mention how stunning I think the Silver Fox is.
Aww, thank you!
Great video look forward to each episode during lockdown in Australia.
Thanks, Ian! Have a fab weekend mate 💜👍🏻
Great video as ever from the two of you but special mention must go to Shaun today.Effortlessly leaping across locks,hurtling down towpaths,flinging bags of rubbish around as if they were full of feathers and cranking duty at the locks at double speed.All this without breaking a sweat.Canal life seems to be an excellent gym substitute for keeping you fit.
Absolutely. He got a sweat on! 😂
Wish you luck mate. Love you both be safe. Take good care of dilan.
Thank you, we will
It's great watching you two . Very informative as well. One of my uncles was born on a barge when my grandad worked on one for a year but brought his family with him
Very cool!
Loved the vlog and the signets and ducklings where soooo cute 😍 - stay safe ❤️🌈
Cheers, Sharon 💜👍🏻
Brilliant again boys ...... Stay Safe
Cheers, Alec! 👍🏻
Woohoo! Been waiting for this. Dylan seems to love the narrow boat life trotting along beside ye. 🙂
He does, but he's bloody achy on an evening 😂
You should try some supplements for him. Try Cosequin, it is supposed to help with joint health. I have heard it works.
Crod, that was great. Love Colin's 'stream of consciousness' and Shaun's wonderful expressions. Hope the leg is better soon Colin. Thank you lads, as always.
I hope so too!
Lovelly seeing my old haunts from eons ago ,we used to go fishing in the canal at Watford as kids at the end of the war , and the mention of Hunton Bridge . Used to cycle past the Ovalteen Dairy farm on my way to work & back .
Nice one!
Hello Colin, Shaun and Dillion. How are you guys doing? I watched the video and Colin it's called the Four Corners in the US. It's where, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet. I been there several time, grandmother lived in Montana. Hope all is well with everyone. Take Care
Hi, Eve. I was actually making reference to the Simpsons, when they visited the 5 corners. It's my favourite TV show 😂
@@FoxesAfloat Cool. I also like the show.
