You've built up a wonderful community channel with your content and personalities and long may it continue. Never overreach yourselves, always look out for number one and don't burn yourselves out for any reason at all. Your true followers will always be there for you and with you and will be happy with the decisions that you feel you need to make. All the best, hope you're both well and take care.
As you say to others, breaks are good. As is a change is as good as a rest. But simply you do you, as you both do you, as no one knows you better than you do. It's not selfish to look after yourselves. We will always be here for you as you are here always here for us. Looking forward to the return of mayhem and innuendo more. RGJ mayhem is always the best.
Definitely agree you guys need some time for yourselves, you have had lots of great content to edit and lots of lives . Look forward to seeing the refreshed Rob n Grace ...as an Irishman I love banter and innuendo 🤭😁
You should not apologise for taking it easy, you have lives and a job. It is also about having fun and enjoying yourselves. We are all a community and it’s just like a big family with a window into a couple of hours or so seeing what’s going on. It will also be good to spend time doing the things you want to do and not being committed to being a service. Love to you both and take a day off or two.
Look after yourselves we are proud of you both make sure you have time for yourselves we love the railway and the banter you are an inspiration to us all
I say to people, look after yourself and then you can look after others. Looking forward to seeing the results of your break, and of course the continued journey. Best wishes
It’s good to reflect inwardly, burn out (in any aspect) is very real so it’s good to hear this news, which in turn will help the longevity of the channel and journey. 👍🏻
Only just found this channel and have no intention to be going anywhere soon. I have nothing but respect for you both in the decisions you are making and have taken and look forwards to joining you both on the new stage of this journey
I get where you are coming from. I too got over into YT's rat race. That's why I only do a live once a month, and I only do the hobby when it calls me. Keep it up both of you and only do it when you want to, I'll be keeping an eye out for you two. Have FUN in life and giggle too. Regards Al :o)
I have missed the fun live chats but sadly I have also had to take a break my son developed acute Psychotic Depression and I have been doing my best to look after him at home.which has been a massive struggle even though I have had lots of help from the Mental Health Home Care doctors and nurses, hopefully I will be able to join you all again very soon. Take care both and enjoy whatever you do xxx P.s still not won the lottery lol
Sorry to hear that mate, that is a real struggle to deal with, you are both in our thoughts, please take care, love to you always.....and keep trying the lottery lol
We take it as an honor to still be stuck with Rob & Grace. We both applaud your actions. You are also still stuck with Bill and Janet from California. I do spend a lot of time in my garden.
I only subscribed to your UA-cam channel a few weeks ago and liked very much the videos that I have seen so far. I haven't watched your live stream but the earlier version sound fun. As I have been made aware over the last 2 years, one's health is most important, so step back, take a break and enjoy your lives.
Good for you. Take a break. If you need longer, we will definitely understand. Probably leaving it open without a definite schedule for now might be best. Do not over promise. Enjoy life and we will all be back to “abnormal” as soon as possible. It is not selfish. Even TV/cable shows take time off from filming.
I’ve slowed down a bit too. Starting up my UA-cam channel is definitely a learning curve. I tried doing lives , but not comfortable doing them yet. Also my Metcalfe builds have suffered as I can’t concentrate on doing them if I’m doing them on livestream. I went to a model railway show at Loughborough recently and deliberately didn’t bother filming specifically for a UA-cam video. I try and watch everyone’s lives when I get time but not had much time recently. The past week I completely ditched model railway and built that marble run instead. I’m hoping to get my mojo back soon as it’s suffered a bit recently.
Hi R&G. With you 100%. Make time for yourselves. I've taken a step back as you know. What With the car disaster not had a lot of money for modelling. Plus caravan is very important to us in the summer. You both have busy lives so don't burn yourselves out. Thumbs up thumped 👍 ....Pete....
@@RGJTrains How sweet a reply. Been with you from the start and loved your company and met some brilliant people because of your site. You think of others so don't ever change even if you get hundreds of thousands of subs. Important you think about yourselves. Listen to your elders.🤣 Kisses and hugs all round, no kisses for you though Rob just a hug. Right finished being sloppy now.😉
I will happily take a hug lol, fingers crossed you can make next years Crewe, or maybe even if you head up this way, you both take care soppy moment over lol
That’s fine. Rob and Grace community is theֶ main thing. How about just once a month live.. with the odd metcalf build / painting…. and an occasional model railway update.. So you have more time…. Keep going.. mountains and all with purple
Hey good people do what you feel is needed. A step back to look after yourselves is so, so important. Things evolve and change so do not beat yourselves up about that either. I know burn out. I have two channels as you know and the IP channel I have been uploading to weekly for just over 6 years. To much in the end and I just burnt out completely. So it is good you recognise this and are doing what you are. See you upon your return.
You been out in the garden? In the weather we have had in Wales, what were you wearing, snorkel and flippers? Take a break guys, you've earned it, see you when we see you
What that saying that you say in the livestreams? Don't Apologise! 😂 There nothing wrong in taking a break now and them and we will support you in that decision and there are days when there is a lot of work that goes into UA-cam and want to share this with yourself and the rest of the community. I went out yesterday to film a video on my other channel. But I tried it on a new approach, each bullet point I mentioned I stopped filming, pressed record and moved onto the next bullet point and then stopped and repeat the process instead of just going one long take and it made it so much easier for me and when I did the one take way, it kept on p***ing me off as I had to go back and start again. But the moral of the story is.... Do what you think if best for you and I hope you enjoy your break and I know your not going anywhere but thank you for the streams and videos you produce
I keep getting told off for apologising Simon, but its british nature isn't it lol, yeah we're just gonna slow down a little bit, this week will be a break for us
Rob & Grace.. you both need a well deserve break.. I think the group completely understands, that we need a break from UA-cam once in a while, sometimes life throws us lemons, which we have to make into lemonade.. get some rest..and we'll look forward to when you are back..
@@RGJTrains you know when you need rest from all your youtube live feeds, when you start calling me Pete, when my name is john....lol.. get some rest from youtube..
We take it as a honor to be stuck with Rob & Grace. We both applaud your decision to cut back on YT. By the way you 2 are still stuck with Bill and Janet from California. I also spend much time in my garden. It's an English Cottage Garden in a neighborhood of typical American style gardens.
I have found it very difficult not to comment on how poorly Grace has looked at times especially with that cough...it's a fatherly age thing i think. Good choice, We will be here..... Winter draws on
100% you need time off, we are going no where looking for your return., Jenny Kirk is reducing her workload, Jason @ B.Junction has taken a week or so off in between doing the streams,you need to look after yourselves
Get back to the hobby, it can become more like a business. If the excitement in the shed has gone there’s always outdoors. The social side will always be here.
😂😂 and there was me thinking my mountains were the topic of conversation 😂😂 but hey will make sure my bushes stay nicely trimmed, don’t keep up and it soon gets like a wild garden. 😂😂
Total understand your health is important do what you feel like and take it easy .Stay safe Rob and Grace.😊
thanks buddy thats appreciated, you too
RESPECT for that decision! Let's get you back in top shape and let's have fun
Thanks Si appreciated
Hi Rob and Grace
Completely understand 100%, we will always support you both.
Yeah Deano that’s appreciated mate

Thank you so much Ma_rin, we love and appreciate the support you have shown consistently x
You only have one shot at life so you MUST make time for yourselves and your sanity. Take care , be safe, be happy.
Ahh we will never be sane lol, near as dammit but always a finger grasp away 🤣 but thank you buddy appreciated

thank you so much cossie
Full support. Be you and be happy.
thank you so much
You do what you have to do, i will be looking fowared to what happens next.
Thanks Rob, thats seriously appreciated mate

Thank you SO much, really nice of you to say that
Hear hear for Saturday's I'm impressed that you haven't run out material for your livestream, enjoy your break all the best Tom
Cheers Tom, just want to get back to the fun but also time for ourselves, thanks for the support
Look after yourselves we are proud of you both make sure you have time for yourselves we love the railway and the banter you are an inspiration to us all
Thank you Peter, just a little timeout for ourselves
I say to people, look after yourself and then you can look after others. Looking forward to seeing the results of your break, and of course the continued journey. Best wishes
Thank you mate that’s usually my line lol
Be good to each other and take care of yourself great content and take absolutely no notice of anyone bad comments
They tend to make us chuckle a bit now to be honest, and thank you :)
It’s good to reflect inwardly, burn out (in any aspect) is very real so it’s good to hear this news, which in turn will help the longevity of the channel and journey. 👍🏻
Yeah i’ve done that a few times so just trying to avoid it this time
Only just found this channel and have no intention to be going anywhere soon. I have nothing but respect for you both in the decisions you are making and have taken and look forwards to joining you both on the new stage of this journey
Thank you Andy, just need to try and relax a little and get back to the fun
I get where you are coming from. I too got over into YT's rat race. That's why I only do a live once a month, and I only do the hobby when it calls me.
Keep it up both of you and only do it when you want to, I'll be keeping an eye out for you two.
Have FUN in life and giggle too. Regards Al :o)
Thanks Alan, think we got dragged in and lost the fun again, we need that in our live stream, we need to get it back on track

Yeah we’re taking this week off to start, should be ok after that, and then restricting the stream to two hours or so should help buddy

Its a fair point Richard, we just dont want to get to a point where we walk away from the channel, we love you guys
It's needed at times, I've been away for 5 months or so. Rule 1 look after you first. We are all here for you guys.
Exactly John, we dont want to let people down, but we dont want to burn out either

Just slowing down a little to get back on time and track, some us time i guess is the best way of putting it, thank you mate
Life gets in the way of modelling.
It certainly does lol
Make sure find time for fun, don't make it a chore to do you tube, recharge enjoy life
EXACTLY! nail on the head buddy
Got it, so no live every 8th week, so I just facetime call you and have a one to one live! Excellent
you go for it buddy, call when you want
Take care you need time for yourselves.
Thank you Tom, we will try

Next round on me. Be good to yourselves. D 🙏
Much appreciated David
Hello guys
Hi Marilyn
You have to take a break, if you don't mother nature steps in and makes you so ill that you can't continue, speaking from experience guys
Perfectly put buddy
I have found it very difficult not to comment on how poorly Grace has looked at times especially with that cough...it's a fatherly age thing i think.
Good choice, We will be here.....
Winter draws on
I totally agree! and it’s utterly appreciated
100% you need time off, we are going no where looking for your return., Jenny Kirk is reducing her workload, Jason @ B.Junction has taken a week or so off in between doing the streams,you need to look after yourselves
Yeah a few have said the same thing and the support is appreciated thank you
Get back to the hobby, it can become more like a business. If the excitement in the shed has gone there’s always outdoors. The social side will always be here.
Exactly Martin, before we burn out and just bin the channel because of just being fed up, thankfully and hopefully we have caught it in time
@@RGJTrainsas long as we’re kept up to date with Gracie’s bush

😂😂 and there was me thinking my mountains were the topic of conversation 😂😂 but hey will make sure my bushes stay nicely trimmed, don’t keep up and it soon gets like a wild garden. 😂😂
