    Colin, your videography, commentary and editing are award-worthy, and seeing England, the canals, the countryside and Silver Fox through your lens transports me to a place of serenity, but what draws me to your channel is the personal warmth of the both of you in sharing your life with your viewers. Very happy that you are both well on the way to recovery from COVID-19. Shaun, sorry for your loss. May happier memories live in your heart.

    You know, the show does not have to go on. If you need a break we will all still be here for you and we will watch, like, subscribe, join, etc when you return. At least, all the people in my home will be doing that! We usually watch on a Saturday rather than a Friday night but after last week, we stayed up late to watch because we were worried about you. It is great to see Shaun up and about - it warms my heart to see you both together even as we can see that it's still very, very difficult for you. I do want to say thank you for sharing your lives with us, for keeping the show going, but I want even more to say that you and your health are worth so much more than our hunger for Content. Be well. Heal. With love from Berlin.

      🇨🇦❤️ I agree with Catharine as well.
      It’s great that Shaun wanted to get back to normal and that the doctor agreed, but I subscribe to a number of great UA-cam vloggers and everyone’s physical and emotional health is the most important thing.
      We can definitely wait and when the quality of content is so high and the hosts are charismatic, it’s easy to be patient.
      I know you’re going to rest when you need to and I’m confident that you’ll do whatever it takes to stay safe.

    We are ex-pats (originally from Halifax, West Yorks!) currently living in Canada (for the last 14 years) and we started watching your vlogs a while ago, because we've always loved the canals and miss them. S sad to hear about the loss of your Dad, I can empathise and sympathise completely. I lost my Dad too, in September 2020, indirectly because of covid and the restrictions. At the time he was hospitalised, I wasn't even able to fly out of Canada to see him, because of the travel restrictions. He then went into palliative care and passed away shortly after that, and I was still grounded abroad. Some days will be tougher than others and I just want you to know it's ok to cry, or laugh at the memories of the good times....and then cry again! Knowing you're loved, loving back, and living each day, will give you the time you need to heal.

    Sad news about Shaun's dad. Condolences from Lincs. But good to see Shaun back @ the helm and Otis supervising. Just loving your style of presenting. Keep on going lads!

    I felt an overwhelming need to write to you two when I heard of your Dad passing. I don't know if it was a surprise or not but it doesn't seem to matter. My Mom was in a nursing home for three years. I was like a type of hell on earth for her there so there is a strong sense of relief to go with the pain.
    It like being in an alternate universe now. It's very surreal. This is the way things are supposed to be. It would have been much worse for your Dad if you were lost first.
    I'm probably not helping am I ? We're all a part of this big conscienceness and all the evil just gets wiped out in the mix.
    Take care. It gets way better very quickly and if he was in pain of any kind it becomes a HUGE relief.

    I'm so sorry for your loss Shaun. I am, however, very glad you are back afloat. You had me worried. I had covid back in March and am still not recovered - I think because I tried to get back to things too quickly. Take your time, rest and heal. Spend a lot of time cuddling under covers with the puppy. And eat some sweets - you look like you need to put back on a few healthy pounds before you're back to yourself.

    Deepest sympathy on the loss of Mr Fox Snr, bless him, but relieved to see you both recovering and resuming your travels. I lost a dear family member a week ago and a friend just two days ago (neither covid). It's a very scary world we're living in but as you say, the show must go on and we just have to make the best of what we have - you are certainly doing that! Sending love and strength to you both and anyone else out there who needs it.

    This really resonated with me. I am from Stoke and judging by the date on the packet of Oatcakes, this was happening around a similar time to when my Dad was in the Royal Stoke Hospital with COVID between 27th October and when he unfortunately passed away on 9th November. Obviously I knew Shaun was back on the mend having seen the later videos, but was so glad to see him back with you and Otis. I was very sorry to hear about Shaun's dad. Two cracking blokes, keep up the great work.

      Hi Phil,
      Shaun here 👋👋👋
      Yeah, that's about the same time I was in Royal Stoke Hospital, I was only in there for 48 hours. So sorry about your Dad, I know too well how difficult it is. My Dad was in Doncaster Hospital with Covid at the same time I was in Stoke, he managed to fight until the 24th of November and passed away with us all around him, luckily I was then clear of Covid, if not, I wouldn't have been able to stay goodbye.
      It's a goddam awful disease and so easy to transmit and catch.
      Best wishes to you and your family, Phil ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Glad to hear you guys are doing better. I am sorry to hear that Shaun's dad passed away. My dad passed away also not long ago because of the cv19, we didn't even get to say goodbye. So I kind of know what you guys are going through. Any way it's nice to see you all. Stay safe.

    Still on catch up with your vlogs. Being a Paramedic I have worked throughout the pandemic and when watching this and previous episode my heart sunk. You are two amazing people and at 53 years of age this one has reduced me to tears. I know I am 7 months to late but I send all my best to you both as well as my condolences. Its just brilliant to see two people who love each other so much that even when the most horrific happens you can still smile, laugh and support each other........ Rich & Lisa x

      I'm new here as well. I found this channel about a week ago (last week of September 2021) and I've been binge watching the videos since day one. Amazing views indeed, an learning about the history of England along the way. Colin and Shaun are doing a great job filming, researching and telling us these most interesting stories. And sharing part of their personal lives along the way. I was literally in tears at the end of this video. Keep up the good work, Shaun and Colin. And Otis is the most lovely dog I've ever seen. Wish I could give him a big hug.
