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.❤
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
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.
Thank you for making me smile ear to ear, really enjoyed this video, home is where your partner is, be it on a narrow boat or in the spectacular highlands. Congratulations on 30 years.
Love these vlogs. I agree, I love the unscripted nature of your videos. Having someone direct and tell you what to do and say would take the spark out of it. Keep up the good work!
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.
You are both brilliant! I always look forward to the Friday vlog. Please keep doing what you do. You are a bright spot on my week. You've really made me want to visit the Highlands! Love you both!
Thanks guys, for this terrific vlog with all the bonkersness and great fun and it's great to see that you three are doing well in the frozen north. Take care and all the best. Stevie
I forgot, congratulations on 30 years, I bet it doesn’t feel like 30 years. Me and partner have been together since 2001 & we say where did the years go? 🙈🤣🍾🥂xx
Y’all are the best, most delightful hoots! All the way through the outtakes. I’m so glad Otis made an appearance today! See y’all next time from way over here in Portland, Oregon. Be sure to give each other a hug for me and give Otis a hug for me as well from both of you. Thanks!
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.
Brilliant Vlog, made me smile. We were only ever having 1 dog, a Guide Dog puppy that only stayed a year, now we have 2 pet dogs and puppy number 21. 😃X
My love who watches your vlogs with me told me to tell you that after all you've been through for the last few months it's really good to see you laughing and having fun.
You guys are a hoot 😂. Thank you for the funny video. Congratulations on your anniversary. You guys sure have something special. Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤
Colin and Shaun, lovely to see the pics of people you met and socialized with on Silver Fox. So happy to hear that you’ll be seeing Fran and Rich soon - they are a particular kind of lovely! Stay warm!
Happy anniversary, guys! You two are wonderfully bonkers! Thanks for the joy, sights and history you've shared over the last several years (even though I'm only a recent member). Looking forward to the next several years. You both deserve a gold star! 🌟🌟
Having followed you from the start and enjoyed all you are ine the best place now carry on as you are doing. You cannot beat the area you are in and the way you vlog. Carry on Highland!
Well gentlemen, I found you several months ago and decided to go back to episode one. I cannot thank you enough for cheering me up, British history, relationships, tears and smiles. I can say I’ve got the tee shirt, hoodie which are often commented on. Simply wonderful, keep it going.
I have loved this video. It made me laugh through out. You two are just so funny. When you caught Sean’s lip poor guy it swelled up straight away bless him. Colin it’s lovely to see your eyes glistening again with enthusiasm. Keep up great job. Love to both and Otis. 😊
You are the modern day Morecambe and Wise. Classic comedy duo without even trying. Well done guys but no need to swing a punch at us. I got a thick lip now too.
Lovely vlog. Colin, don’t give up on your train barn dream. Start off, one tiny step at a time, and continue when funds become available. That way it becomes a true hobby, loved for each little accomplishment…. You two are so much fun, wishing you another 30 years together!🎉❤
Fun vlog! I'm looking forward to hearing what you decide about the trains, and how the further critter acquisition plans progress. Quite happy to be stuck with you on here. As always, thank you for sharing the bits of your lives that you share, the serious, the silly, and everything in between.
Wait until late December then dawn will be 8.30 and can’t see your feet by 3.30pm because it is so dark. I still loved living over by Skye for a couple of years
I absolutely love this vlog!!!! The laughter is just what I needed after shoulder replacement this morning. You two have something very special together! Congratulations on both anniversaries.
Hello Shaun & Collin, sooooo good to see you both in good health & spirits. I have no doubt that you are in one of the most beautiful places. Silver Fox narrowboat was a great adventure, however where you are now is really a dream come true. Stay healthy & give Otis a hug & kiss for me. 😃❣
Happy Anniversary you lovely Gents, Thank you so much for a fantastic vlog, you are rays of sunshine on a winter day, God bless....................................ps when are you getting another boat lol just joking te he
Just wanted to say that I left Derbyshire in 2019 and am now in my fourth year up here and not far from you guys. It's just amazing up here, remote but a much slower pace of life. We also have animals and its great ! Wish you both well !
You two always (or nearly always) seem to enjoy life so much it makes me smile. I moved from watching and dreaming about sea sailing to narrow boating watching you, and now seeing you have so many adventures setting up the wee hoose and it’s surroundings is so interesting. Congratulations on such a milestone and many more happy years together.
Hiya you're so funny. I'm in hystericals here! Please don't say hit the dangly bell. I did that and , well, it weren't dangle any more! Hahaha! BTW. Your calender turned up today. Thanks my lovely lads. 😍
You are so right - you 2 being 'directed' wouldn't be the same. I know you edit it Colin but your ad hoc chatter and Shaun's laughter could never be turned on and off by anyone else. Just keep them coming keep us laughing and educate us about so many things. Love you both and your amazing vlogs.
Oh boys. You bring me such joy. Love you both so much. Get another dog. You have so much space. It’s only fair for your current baby. Every dog deserves a mate. You are a couple. Your dog needs the same. Give it a good thought and go for it.
Lol so funny. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO YOU BOTH but I'm not sure a fat lip is a good celebration. 30 years! Hope it feels better soon. My husband had prostate cancer this year so understand the issues that come with it. I'm glad you turned down the tv shows. I love this format and you have control on what you want to share. I'm pretty sure all your viewers would say the same. I love rich and fran as well. They have a cute story and interesting channel. I watched you all challenge the Mersey! That was a bit stressful. I would say the narrow boat was a great part of your lives and great experience and now you've moved on to another great part of your lives with more great experiences. Great memories made and to be made!
Get another dog? No brainer- I wouldn’t be without mine, an Irish Wolfhound and a Mastiff mix. They out-think me, out-weigh me, and out-smart me. Life is good with a dog, better with two.
I really enjoyed the Narrow Boat videos and now enjoy the new Highland videos. As usual you manage to tell a story, often a bit of a history lesson or a learning experience combined with sharing your surroundings in an entertaining way. I look forward to each new video. Thanks for what you are doing.
I loved the vlog this week guys; the "jump transporting" is awesome! I'm glad you moved to the highlands, I found you two on Amazon but have followed you here and am very glad for you both. I know the highlands are better for Colin and therefore Shaun and as long as you're both happy which makes for awesome vlogs, I'm good. I'll watch you wherever you live. I do look forward to the history stories that Colin gives us on his adventures and hikes; but just get back to super healthy first. Bless you both and have a great day!
Colin, a man that says 'Whatever you want....' is a keeper, don't complain!
Yes but, he is having a fling with Eric

I just discovered your channel today, and your content is a joy! (Bless people like you who add a laugh to others’ days). Keep up the great work!
Hello 👋🏻
Congratulations on your first year in the highlands and your 30 years together 🥂🍻 here’s to many more.
Thank you for making me smile ear to ear, really enjoyed this video, home is where your partner is, be it on a narrow boat or in the spectacular highlands.
Congratulations on 30 years.
Boo to silly questions! Im glad you get to do what you enjoy and share that joy with us! ❤
Love these vlogs. I agree, I love the unscripted nature of your videos. Having someone direct and tell you what to do and say would take the spark out of it. Keep up the good work!
This has got to be the best vlog on TH-cam, the content with the humour you two bring bring really makes my week. Can't wait for next Friday. 👍👍👍👍

Oh you two are far too good for television, Friday teatimes are one of the highlights of my week.
You are both brilliant! I always look forward to the Friday vlog. Please keep doing what you do. You are a bright spot on my week. You've really made me want to visit the Highlands! Love you both!

One vlog I saw gave the answers to questions, but didn't read the questions. So entertaining trying to work out what the question was......
Brilliant Vlog, made me smile. We were only ever having 1 dog, a Guide Dog puppy that only stayed a year, now we have 2 pet dogs and puppy number 21. 😃X
2 dogs every time, one dog needs another in its life, great vid!
Happy anniversaries. So glad you are on the mend. Nice to see the Silver Fox again.
Got my 2 calenders yesterday, thanks guys
Great vlog Colin, Shaun and Otiz I really enjoyed your vlog it made me smile and laugh thank you so much.
I would move in a heartbeat to live in Scotland. Your so lucky. Tell ppl to watch your vlogs living on Silver Fox. Glad your all well ❤
My love who watches your vlogs with me told me to tell you that after all you've been through for the last few months it's really good to see you laughing and having fun.
Congrats on 30 years together and here's to 30 more! I loved the photo of the 2 of your 30 years ago. Fantastic.
“Juuuuump”! Loved the latest video. The Scottish highlands is so beautiful.

Loved this. You guy's are incredible and so entertaining. Your Vlogs are one of the highlights of my week. Keep well and safe. James.
Your both as mad as box of frogs , which in these straightened times is just what we all need , life's to short to be miserable.
Take care lads .
Colin and Shaun, lovely to see the pics of people you met and socialized with on Silver Fox. So happy to hear that you’ll be seeing Fran and Rich soon - they are a particular kind of lovely! Stay warm!
This vlog is fab! Love the jumping and arriving at new locs; You both are particularly jolly today! 🌺💖🐶😉
If you could bottle Shaun's laugh you'd make a fortune! Excellent vlog again, as usual.
Happy anniversary, guys! You two are wonderfully bonkers! Thanks for the joy, sights and history you've shared over the last several years (even though I'm only a recent member). Looking forward to the next several years. You both deserve a gold star! 🌟🌟
Great vlog as always, happy 30th anniversary to you both.

I love Fridays, You both make me laugh so much. Thanks for the great video. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well gentlemen, I found you several months ago and decided to go back to episode one. I cannot thank you enough for cheering me up, British history, relationships, tears and smiles. I can say I’ve got the tee shirt, hoodie which are often commented on. Simply wonderful, keep it going.
Thank you so much ♥️👋🏻
Happy Anniversary! So many great adventures ahead. Take care of yourselves.
I have loved this video. It made me laugh through out. You two are just so funny. When you caught Sean’s lip poor guy it swelled up straight away bless him. Colin it’s lovely to see your eyes glistening again with enthusiasm. Keep up great job. Love to both and Otis. 😊

I absolutely love this vlog!!!! The laughter is just what I needed after shoulder replacement this morning. You two have something very special together! Congratulations on both anniversaries.
You guys are inspiring me to live my best life. Congrats on thirty years together, you too look so happy together.
I love you guys. I hope all the health problems are now resolved.
It's great to see both of you enjoying your new adventure of living in Scotland. Love, laugh, live.
You need the spark! In your vlogs
Congratulations on your 30 years together. Mrs Stringtrees and I have been together 30 years too.
Fantastic ❤❤❤❤. I laughed and laughed. Thank you. Can’t believe people still ask when you are getting your next boat!
Thanks!
Wow! Thanks so much, William x
Hello Shaun & Collin, sooooo good to see you both in good health & spirits. I have no doubt that you are in one of the most beautiful places. Silver Fox narrowboat was a great adventure, however where you are now is really a dream come true.
Stay healthy & give Otis a hug & kiss for me. 😃❣

Loved every minute of this vlog 💕
Gosh another year, time flies.
Brilliant vlog. Kidney stone mention - that was a laugh out loud moment 😂 You two are wonderful! ❤️
You two always (or nearly always) seem to enjoy life so much it makes me smile. I moved from watching and dreaming about sea sailing to narrow boating watching you, and now seeing you have so many adventures setting up the wee hoose and it’s surroundings is so interesting.

Great video loved to see you two jumping all over Scotland

Congrats on both anniversaries! Make the train barn a long term project and just do bits at a time when you can afford it and time allows.
Shaun's laugh is infectious. Great way to finish a Friday.
Thank you so much for the smiles and giggles and guffaws. Love you boys!
You two always put a smile on my face. Love you both
Oh boys. You bring me such joy. Love you both so much. Get another dog. You have so much space. It’s only fair for your current baby. Every dog deserves a mate. You are a couple. Your dog needs the same. Give it a good thought and go for it.

“There’s bills to be paid” - who says romance is dead? 😜 congratulations on 30 years together and your one year anniversary in the Highlands 😀

As usual you manage to tell a story, often a bit of a history lesson or a learning experience combined with sharing your surroundings in an entertaining way. I look forward to each new video.
