    "I start off with... up to half an hour of flute playing."
    One of the funniest lines ever delivered by Uncle Grumpy. Hilarious.

    Brilliant, brilliant! For me, the images you or anyone shoot during any video form only a tiny percentage of why I watch. I watch because a) I like you, you are clearly a good man. b) your humour makes me smile/laugh out loud c) I learn something useful d) I enjoy seeing the scenic places you go and d) I feel all the better and happier for watching.

So, really, thank you very much for making such high quality, funny, informative and highly entertaining videos.

You guys crack me up almost every vlog and that is the main reason I watch. There are tons of photography vids out there but your style is up to par with my sick humor lol. Take all the time you need, we'll keep waiting to be notified!

    As entertaining as ever Gavin, some very funny scenes too. Amanda’s walk reminded me of John Cleese in monty python when he did the sketch, Ministry of silly walks, I’m sure you’ll have seen it. Shame about the lighting, but that’s landscape photography, nothing’s guaranteed. I did find the chat at the end very interesting, especially the trolls, there must be something in the human brain that exaggerates the importance of negative comments or opinions, almost to the point where positive comments or opinions become less important. It’s a real shame that people say things to upset you and others who provide free entertainment, but the people who appreciate what you do are really the people you should be listening to. Your doing a great job Gavin, long may you continue, you’d be very much missed if you weren’t on You tube, that goes for Adam too.

I just wish they'd make barn doors for it so I can block off and shape the light a little better. They make them for he little cube but the panel gives better light I think.
