Yet more great stuff from the morcambe and wise of the canal system. It’s like the best tv show with comedy, history, nature and boats all thrown in the pot and the way you mix the stunning filming with the perfect soundtrack is amazing. Could do with an 8 hour mix of just video and music to lose a whole day in. See ya next week guys
As usual fantastic filming extremely entertaining and very informative. Who needs TV with you two on you tube I life model at a art class and yesterday we were talking about best programs on TV and 4 out of the 12 present said you two are tops. Xxx
I've noticed that your filming and editing is superior to many of the other narrow boat youtuber's, especially going through the locks and the scenic areas! Mixing in the views from above makes it a joy to watch!
I am new here and have fallen in love with your vlogs. I have gone back to the very beginning and I am watching them through. I usually watch 4-5 in a row after getting off of work. Very fun and relaxing.
That pie and chips was just pure torture for us in the USA It looks just sooooo good. Wiping drool of the front of my shirt. Another happy Friday with the foxes xxx
I’m so glad I found your channel a while ago. You make such wonderfully interesting vids, along with historical trivia, gorgeous scenery, and very apt background music. Not to mention, you two are so funny and cute you make me laugh. I’m very UK/IRE on both sides, several generations back. Except for my maternal gramps who came over at age 10 with his family, and though his elders died long before I was born, I grew up around him. I’m a Californian, but it always feels like “home” any time I watch stuff from across the pond, especially England. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
I'm so glad i discovered your channel you two are a great double act and love the way you bounce off each other. I get up on a morning and think OMG another groundhog day but then i sit and watch you and i find myself laughing out loud to what you come out with. Please never change and keep up the good work, you are helping quite a few people in lock down
That's why narrowboats have the strange number of being 6'10" wide. Originally the canals were designed to accommodate boats 7' wide but so many bridges and locks have squeezed inwards over decades and decades that 6'10" is the maximum width to go anywhere on the canal system nowadays.
Talking about Diesel fuel. I understand you have to use white fully taxed diesel in pleasure boats now after European directives banned red diesel a few years ago. Do you think after Brexit the Government may relax the rules again and permit lower cost diesel to be used in narrowboats?
@@FoxesAfloat Thanks for that. I'm not a boat owner but I remember Europeans were wanting the UK to conform to some directive but I guess they sidestepped it.
As an American, my opinion here is meaningless, but I'm in team Shaun with sc-owe-n, although I know my family in Netwonmore, Scotland says it's properly Scohn, as Colin has it or scoon depending on the exact accent. I'm rewatching some of the vids during isolation here, and no matter who pronounces it how, you guys are great (and Dillon!), and I greatly appreciate having your older (and brand new) content to bring some laughs around my desk!
This one is one of your best to date. The film quality is spot on. The photography has gotten so artsy and at times moving. The music is perfect for what you are shooting. The aqua-duck, the longer one was quite groovy. Isn't there a higher one in Wales? Last but not least, you two, The Foxy Twins, as I call you, are so funny and seem so happy together. Oh' yeah, I really love your history of the places you travel too. You have the grooviest Narrowboat series on the air.
Wonderful photography and narration lads - particularly the drone shots crossing the Edstone aqueduct. Congratulations to you both on celebrating your 27th anniversary together - a wonderful achievement. 😃👌❤️❤️❤️
You guys crack me up. Which is nice since we are stuck inside self quarantining. Loved the music for the aqueduct, I fully expected Godzilla to pop up at the end of the canal and eat Silver-fox. And what kind of pie was that? Steak and Kidney? (Which is my favorite.) Looking forward to next week. Be sure to wash your hands.
Ah, Friday afternoon, the weekend upon us, making a nice pot of tea and getting onto UA-cam, but what to watch? Ah yes, a new episode of the Foxes, just the most perfect thing! Another informative video, especially with such little details like the forlorn tramway, love to know stuff like that! Thanks so much for putting all that time into recording and editing these, always a pleasure to watch! :)
Awesome as usual! I was surprised you didn't mention the super muddy towpath but that is just spring I guess. So nice to see the daffodils. Especially nice at 16:18 with the daffodils and the boat. We are pretty far behind here in New England we won't have daffodils for a month or so. Thanks for the quick bit of pulling the chain out of the Armco (I think that is what it is called) We really like those practical bits of boating. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
First time around I wS distracted by leek and mushroom paella. Second time around both the cat and I watched properly and enjoyed your post thank you. Smokey liked the scenes showing the boat cruising, I enjoyed the lot. Thank you.
Hi Guys Great sounds of water at 13.20....... almost an ASMR vlog! Watching your life at 4 mph is in stark contrast to the pandemic unfolding. Perhaps next week’s vlog will show you clearing a supermarket of toilet rolls, pasta, rice and long-life milk? 😜
Mary arden house😂your absolutely right. The original house is actualy under the car park. The name was changed from Mary ardens house to Mary ardens farm in 2009 when word got out it was "next door".
For whatever reason, I have to say the video work and drone shots where outstanding in this video. Now I'm not saying the videography is not good in the other vlogs, but this one particularly stands out, well done guys.
I want Pie too!! instead, I have snow coming down, and a very busy street view.... with our little town and whole state on a "STAY AT HOME" mandate, the traffic is interesting, no church services for now and the plant is not running 7 day weeks (yet) so there's really no reason for all that traffic.
Hi Colin and Shaun,you are totally a jolly couple,your videos are the best for all round entertainment, l definitely look forward to watching your awesome vlog ,you always make me laugh every time,especially when I see the both of your funny antics,while cruising along the canal,your history lessons are excellent,roll on Friday guys,
oh my you guys are so funny!!! we crack up laughing every video :) "how much vaseline to get the boat through a 2ft pipe" hahaha life has been better since we found you two.
I don’t think it matters how you say scone as long as the cream goes on before the jam, else you’ll be in for trouble in some parts of the country. Great video!
The Edstone Aqueduct is something special. You'd be surprised to know the amount of locals that don't know it exists! Great video guys, definitely subscribed for more and trying to catch up to get up to date on your latest videos.
I bet you were gutted you didn't get a passing train! Your choice of music this week is very relaxing great camera and drone work as always, the sound of the water lapping at the boat is noticed too😊😊
I want to hit the like button again.,,,every time i rewatch...like and like some more....this aquaduct is splendid. Love you both***XOXOX...waiting patiently for more time with Otis....
I know...cant wait. Will be watching reruns till fridays post. Escaping reality in appproximently 20 minute vlogs. Never long enough. Love you both*** and Otis too.XOXOXOX
Everyone knows scone is pronounced scone! I mean who in the right mind would pronounce scone scone. Really c'mon scone? it just doesn't sound right does it? Lets all agree to pronounce scone scone as it should be eh? you'll be pronouncing potato potato next! or even tomato tomato!
you really know how to get the best images! they really are beautiful, as well as the music you use. - thank you so very much! really needed this this evening!
Escaping to another kinder world with you tonight..thank you for this happy kind, beautiful distraction..love you...all three....mussent forget puppers.
On our October cruise we moored at Wootton Wawen and walked to the station and excitedly held our hand out to stop the train (as it was a request stop) for a day trip to Stratford! We then cruised to Lowsonford, moored in the exact spot as you and went to the pub. Enjoyed seeing the sights again on your excellent Vlog.👍
Hello lads. As I said not watching these in order, justpick and choosing when one catches my fancy. Got a couple questions. 1st colin what kind of music do you play on your ukulele? My hubby plays anything and I'm quite eclectic, from classical, 50s to country. 2nd have you heard of the Monmouth-breck canal in Wales? Not connected at all to the rest of the canal system. But it's very beautiful.
Fellas! I stumbled on your Vlog in a link from Aquaholic. Anyway, I’ve seen maybe a half dozen Vlogs in no particular order. I’m now going to have to start at the beginning and do it all properly. Just wanted to say that what I have seen I have thoroughly enjoyed. Keep doing what you’re doing and take care of each other....
I've been under the Wooten Wawen aquaduct many times that stretch of road seems to have a speed camera every 100 yards ( it's a right pain ) at least you don't have to deal with them on the canal which is a good job as the way Dylan skidded to a stop as he jumped on the boat would have got him a ticket 😁 . Scone / scon ? who cares as long as you share um with me , thanks for the entertainment your blogs really are brilliant . Take care lads . S
Great Vlog as usual guys, love the film work & editing. Colin, what was the make of the grey hoodie you had on at the beginning.....need to get myself one of those ready to wear on our Bickerboat👍
As always, a great way to start the weekend. And the past few vlogs have felt like being home as I know many of the roads around the area from riding my bicycle through those villages for many years. PS When you mentioned Mary Arden lived 30 yards down the road at number 42, I had a flashback to Benny Hill singing Ernie, although the widow in that song "Lived all alone on Lilly Lane, at number 22" (not 42).
I must say that your videos are a treat. Your background music and footage is really interesting. We are continuous cruisers and one day we might meet up. We are on our way to Braunston on the Grand Union from Brentford. Watch out for Demelza.
Foxes Afloat we are in Birkhampstead. Started out journey from the river Wey near Guildford. We are newbies. After living in Lanzarote for 20 years decided to live on our narrowboat at the ages of 71 and 75 We started on January 10th. Loving it. We have been following you. And really enjoy your vlogs.
Great blog pity you don't do 2 vlogs a week so we don't have to wait so long.Now scones & SCONES both right depends on what part of cuntry thar cumes from also up here in cold Scotland we spell Shaun SEAN so there.Keep well and warm.
It takes me a week to film and a week to edit each episode, so unless Jebus extends our days by 24 hours and you support the channel it's gonna be just the one a week 😉 x
well lads another great video and done like you were both born for tv brilliant the facts the laughs and the stunning country side filmed so well ,makes for an enjoyable watch ,,after a day working in a big hospital i watched your adventure and thought what a great way of life ,it looks wonderful ,and the little dog looks well happy ,well thanks for that both ,until your next adventure on cut ,happy navigating ,ps i can,t hear the name william shakespeare with out imagining the star ship enterprise now ,lol.
Love the footage from the bow. Love the gentle ripple of the water. The leafless trees and sunny day make it seem idyllic, although I can imagine it would be a bit 'parky' outside. Here 'down under', we call them scone - as Colin said it. :-) The pie at the Fleur de Lys looked great too. Thanks again for a great vlog. I'm gradually catching up. :-)
Hi Guys, how are you coping with the restrictions due to corona virus? We are fine here in the Australian country side but you travels might be interesting. Just remember that your program is much loved. Cheers
Hi Joseph 👋 We've moved out into the country and only going to the shop maybe once a week, with hand washing before, during and after! We're trying to stay positive even though the world seems to be losing it's marbles! Stay safe 💜
Great vlog as usual chaps. Do you think you will be doing a vlog on your electrics i.e. Solar in particular. I wondered if you had enough info now to work out how well that has done?
Scone rhymes with “on!” My sweet grandmother (may she RIP) would become irate if anyone called her baked goods “skowns” and accuse the culprit of being a nasty Londoner. She was very particular about her pronunciation, being from Aberdeen. Londoner was a grave insult.
Another weekly treat , those aqueducts are an amazing piece of engineering . A very good idea locking Dillon inside whilst crossing them ! . You do good mileage with your fuel , how often do you fill up ?? Has fuel prices come down over there with the price of oil falling in value ! Petrol has not come down in price over here in Australia very much , never does when oil prices fall , but when they rise , petrol goes up almost instantly . Just come out of hospital has a bad infection , but now a lot better , we have an excellent hospital in our lovely town . Once again lads , great vlog and another smile 😊 on my face
We usually fill up every 4-6 weeks depending on how much we've used. Prices are falling here too but it takes a while to trickle down to the marinas and chandlers 🙄
Unique combo of nonsense monologue (much appreciated!), laughing answers, and excellent cinematography of canal life. Quirky and very professional. Remain healthy in these uncertain times!
great vlog , i never really feel safe on them aquaducts , you never if the bottom's going to fall out hahaha , me & my late stepmum used to have the same arguments as you two lol , she used to say scon , but i used to say scone lol , but she was from hartlepool .
The two of you always look so well put together. Did that make sense? I mean your clothes. Always looks like you put a bit of effort into it. My wife puts my clothes out! Haha! Either I'm spoiled, or she just doesn't trust me to put an outfit together!
Skoooones are what you eat and Sconches are what you light. Oh no! Now I've gone and done it, I've taken sides. LOL! Great video and as always I love the scenic views, and yes the information is not wasted. I find it interesting. There I've gone and taken side again. Oh well. Happy cruising!
How are you coping with this crazy virus. I know you can't stock up on supplies and you meet many people. Stay safe though it all. Oh, and keep up the great vids. Oooo
Hey, Barry 👋 Nothing really any different for us. We're staying out of the way of the mayhem, organising supermarket deliveries for supplies and trying not to meet too many people.
Love this video! My 6 year old son and I are coping with the lockdown today by watching your videos and imagining ourselves cruising along the canals. Thank you for posting!

As usual fantastic filming extremely entertaining and very informative. Who needs TV with you two on you tube
I life model at a art class and yesterday we were talking about best programs on TV and 4 out of the 12 present said you two are tops. Xxx
Awww, I'd LOVE to life model! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I've posed for one artist but would love to do more of that. Cheers for that lovely comment too 💜
I've noticed that your filming and editing is superior to many of the other narrow boat youtuber's, especially going through the locks and the scenic areas! Mixing in the views from above makes it a joy to watch!
Thanks, Jack! I do try, but I'm always learning new stuff and trying to improve.
I am new here and have fallen in love with your vlogs. I have gone back to the very beginning and I am watching them through. I usually watch 4-5 in a row after getting off of work. Very fun and relaxing.
Welcome! Thank you so much!! 💜
That pie and chips was just pure torture for us in the USA It looks just sooooo good. Wiping drool of the front of my shirt. Another happy Friday with the foxes xxx
Hehe! Only 4,000 miles away if you fancy one 😏
Just returned from the USA and you guys need to sort your 'Gravy' out. BEEF BEEF BEEF
Why do I click ‘Like’ before I have even watched it, 😂
Every damned time!
Nobby Hall LOL
We add a little something to make you do that 😉
Because you know its going to be great.....Shaun and Collin never let us down. XOXOX
Good Morning from New York
Just checking that you both and Dillon are well and safe from this Pandemic Pandemonium.
Take care. Faye
Yes we are 💜
The week is so long waiting for your next vlog... I sincerely enjoy sharing this time with you two. Keep being awesome!
Thanks, Cameron! Only six days to the next one 😂

Welcome to my world 😂

Thank you so much!
Another great video, thanks for the journey. I love that you mispronounce place names 😂😂
I just get a buzz from people getting mad at me for it 😂
That's why narrowboats have the strange number of being 6'10" wide. Originally the canals were designed to accommodate boats 7' wide but so many bridges and locks have squeezed inwards over decades and decades that 6'10" is the maximum width to go anywhere on the canal system nowadays.
They need to work on them before we end up with 2'3" boats 😂
Talking about Diesel fuel. I understand you have to use white fully taxed diesel in pleasure boats now after European directives banned red diesel a few years ago. Do you think after Brexit the Government may relax the rules again and permit lower cost diesel to be used in narrowboats?
That's all incorrect, sorry. We still use red diesel at the same rate we always did.

Spit my tea out with using Vaseline on the 2 foot pipe.😂🤣 Now no tea for that piece of pie.😜 So guess I will have to have a pint.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💜
I'm not alone, I call them scones,
Just like one gives a dog a bone.
If you insist on saying scon
You'll have to give your dog a bon.
What if we give our dog biscuits? 😂
😂Then you'll have a very happy dog!
This one is one of your best to date. The film quality is spot on. The photography has gotten so artsy and at times moving. The music is perfect for what you are shooting. The aqua-duck, the longer one was quite groovy. Isn't there a higher one in Wales? Last but not least, you two, The Foxy Twins, as I call you, are so funny and seem so happy together. Oh' yeah, I really love your history of the places you travel too. You have the grooviest Narrowboat series on the air.
Aww, thanks, Mark. I haven't heard someone call us groovy since I worked in radio 💜
Wonderful photography and narration lads - particularly the drone shots crossing the Edstone aqueduct. Congratulations to you both on celebrating your 27th anniversary together - a wonderful achievement. 😃👌❤️❤️❤️
Many thanks!
You guys crack me up. Which is nice since we are stuck inside self quarantining. Loved the music for the aqueduct, I fully expected Godzilla to pop up at the end of the canal and eat Silver-fox. And what kind of pie was that? Steak and Kidney? (Which is my favorite.) Looking forward to next week. Be sure to wash your hands.
It was Beef and Ale pie 🤤
2:01 "number 42" don't laugh Shaun its the answer to life the universe and everything 🤭 dignity give it dignity
👍🏻👍🏻
Ah, Friday afternoon, the weekend upon us, making a nice pot of tea and getting onto UA-cam, but what to watch? Ah yes, a new episode of the Foxes, just the most perfect thing! Another informative video, especially with such little details like the forlorn tramway, love to know stuff like that! Thanks so much for putting all that time into recording and editing these, always a pleasure to watch! :)
Thank you for appreciating it. It means so much 👍🏻
Awesome as usual! I was surprised you didn't mention the super muddy towpath but that is just spring I guess. So nice to see the daffodils. Especially nice at 16:18 with the daffodils and the boat. We are pretty far behind here in New England we won't have daffodils for a month or so. Thanks for the quick bit of pulling the chain out of the Armco (I think that is what it is called) We really like those practical bits of boating. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
I think people can see how muddy it is 😂
Yeah, lovely to see the spring flowers coming up. 👍🏻
First time around I wS distracted by leek and mushroom paella. Second time around both the cat and I watched properly and enjoyed your post thank you. Smokey liked the scenes showing the boat cruising, I enjoyed the lot. Thank you.
Very kind, thank you.
Leek & Mushroom Paella... 😳
Hired a day boat from Anglo Welsh with family . Lovely day. Also you did pronounce my name correctly .
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Guys
Great sounds of water at 13.20....... almost an ASMR vlog! Watching your life at 4 mph is in stark contrast to the pandemic unfolding. Perhaps next week’s vlog will show you clearing a supermarket of toilet rolls, pasta, rice and long-life milk? 😜
Haha! No way! None of that drama here 😂
The visitor moorings at Lowsonford are great... mainly because of the pies at the Fleur de Lys! Steak & Stilton my favourite.
Miss that place so much!
Beautiful day and blog such beautiful video footage with the drone congratulations guys,I did the aqueduct last year and didn’t see a train either.
6 an hour that day! Haha! I did catch one on the drone but it didn't make the final cut! 👍🏻
Mary arden house😂your absolutely right. The original house is actualy under the car park. The name was changed from Mary ardens house to Mary ardens farm in 2009 when word got out it was "next door".

I not only subscribed I tickled the notify bell. So I dont miss a single vid. Ta, lads.
Nice one, welcome! x
Tone, Bone, Phone, Cone, Scone...Settled ;)
Settled sounds nothing like Sconn 😂 FREAK! 😂😂😂😂

The British countryside looks awesome. People are great. Narrow boating is definitely in my very near future. You guys are great.
Aww, thanks, Marc!
oh my you guys are so funny!!! we crack up laughing every video :) "how much vaseline to get the boat through a 2ft pipe" hahaha life has been better since we found you two.
For reference, it took 16 Gallons of Vaseline 😏
I don’t think it matters how you say scone as long as the cream goes on before the jam, else you’ll be in for trouble in some parts of the country.
Great video!
mr fleas Jam first if you please 😂
Oh dear 😳
I have no preference, whichever comes to hand first. It all goes down the same ‘ole, as my mum said. 😁
Great video guys it's better information than half the documentaries on TV love the scenery
Aww, thank you!
The Edstone Aqueduct is something special. You'd be surprised to know the amount of locals that don't know it exists! Great video guys, definitely subscribed for more and trying to catch up to get up to date on your latest videos.
Cool, thanks!
Oh boy, the thought of going over that aquaduct. I'd have to cover my eyes as i'm afraid of heights
I bet you were gutted you didn't get a passing train! Your choice of music this week is very relaxing great camera and drone work as always, the sound of the water lapping at the boat is noticed too😊😊

That drone has certainly paid for itself with the amount of fabulous footage we are being treated with now :D
Thank you!
The yellow daffodils against the silver fox, quite lovely. Such an artistic contrast.
I love the spring flowers!

Yup! Should be banned! 👊🏻
Hey guys, what kind of pie is that you were after? Is it the meal being served at 20:01? Great sound and video.
It was a steak and ale pie 😋
@@FoxesAfloat Great, thank you. I'll be heading over to our only English pub in the county to order one soon.
Great Vlog as usual guys, love the film work & editing. Colin, what was the make of the grey hoodie you had on at the beginning.....need to get myself one of those ready to wear on our Bickerboat👍
Oi! No costume copycats! 😂

As always, a great way to start the weekend. And the past few vlogs have felt like being home as I know many of the roads around the area from riding my bicycle through those villages for many years.
PS When you mentioned Mary Arden lived 30 yards down the road at number 42, I had a flashback to Benny Hill singing Ernie, although the widow in that song "Lived all alone on Lilly Lane, at number 22" (not 42).
Haha! Benny Hill was brilliant!
Your reports are always beautifully filmed and edited. I watch on my T V. Really appreciate the info and lovely scenery.
Thanks, Susan!
(Not showing off) I watch these on a 60" 4K TV and the videos look stunning. This one especially - lovely '3D' depth to the scenes.
As always awesome video guys. Always very entertaining.😁👋
Cheers, Gareth! 👍🏻
I must say that your videos are a treat. Your background music and footage is really interesting. We are continuous cruisers and one day we might meet up. We are on our way to Braunston on the Grand Union from Brentford. Watch out for Demelza.
Whereabouts are you?
Foxes Afloat we are in Birkhampstead. Started out journey from the river Wey near Guildford. We are newbies. After living in Lanzarote for 20 years decided to live on our narrowboat at the ages of 71 and 75 We started on January 10th. Loving it. We have been following you. And really enjoy your vlogs.
Another great vlog chaps. Informative and brilliantly shot. Awesome !
Thanks, Russ!
Great blog pity you don't do 2 vlogs a week so we don't have to wait so long.Now scones & SCONES both right depends on what part of cuntry thar cumes from also up here in cold Scotland we spell Shaun SEAN so there.Keep well and warm.
It takes me a week to film and a week to edit each episode, so unless Jebus extends our days by 24 hours and you support the channel it's gonna be just the one a week 😉 x
The only problem with your vlogs is they are not long enough. Great content and info as you sail along the cut.
Thanks, David! 👍🏻💜
well lads another great video and done like you were both born for tv brilliant the facts the laughs and the stunning country side filmed so well ,makes for an enjoyable watch ,,after a day working in a big hospital i watched your adventure and thought what a great way of life ,it looks wonderful ,and the little dog looks well happy ,well thanks for that both ,until your next adventure on cut ,happy navigating ,ps i can,t hear the name william shakespeare with out imagining the star ship enterprise now ,lol.
Oh, don't encourage him with the William Shatner thing 😂😂😂
absolutely mind blowing ...and they built this when?.. but completed in 1816. .. WOW!!
👍🏻
Love the footage from the bow. Love the gentle ripple of the water. The leafless trees and sunny day make it seem idyllic, although I can imagine it would be a bit 'parky' outside.
Here 'down under', we call them scone - as Colin said it. :-) The pie at the Fleur de Lys looked great too. Thanks again for a great vlog. I'm gradually catching up. :-)
Aww, I'd love to go back to the Fleur de Lys. Some lovely days spent in there!
Hi Guys, how are you coping with the restrictions due to corona virus? We are fine here in the Australian country side but you travels might be interesting. Just remember that your program is much loved. Cheers
Hi Joseph 👋
We've moved out into the country and only going to the shop maybe once a week, with hand washing before, during and after! We're trying to stay positive even though the world seems to be losing it's marbles! Stay safe 💜
It’s scone as in own, until of course you eat it the it’s s’gone.
Incorrect 😂
Great vlog as usual chaps. Do you think you will be doing a vlog on your electrics i.e. Solar in particular. I wondered if you had enough info now to work out how well that has done?
Hi, Steve 👋
Yeah, we're doing a solar vlog in May. Just waiting for a full year of data.
That long aqueduct was amazing. Great footage. Spectacular
Thanks, Jason!
Beautiful video and music guys. After all the depressing news it was great just to chill out and watch a 🦊 vlog.
Thanks, Helen! Have a lovely weekend 💜
Thank you gentlemen! For 21 minutes and 27 seconds I escaped from the constant Coronavirus propaganda of the media 🙂
Yeah, it is a bit of an overkill at the moment 😬 😷
Scone rhymes with “on!” My sweet grandmother (may she RIP) would become irate if anyone called her baked goods “skowns” and accuse the culprit of being a nasty Londoner. She was very particular about her pronunciation, being from Aberdeen. Londoner was a grave insult.
Your Gran was a clever woman! Stay safe 💙
Another weekly treat , those aqueducts are an amazing piece of engineering . A very good idea locking Dillon inside whilst crossing them ! . You do good mileage with your fuel , how often do you fill up ?? Has fuel prices come down over there with the price of oil falling in value ! Petrol has not come down in price over here in Australia very much , never does when oil prices fall , but when they rise , petrol goes up almost instantly . Just come out of hospital has a bad infection , but now a lot better , we have an excellent hospital in our lovely town . Once again lads , great vlog and another smile 😊 on my face
We usually fill up every 4-6 weeks depending on how much we've used. Prices are falling here too but it takes a while to trickle down to the marinas and chandlers 🙄
Foxes Afloat chandlers??? Don’t they hang from the ceiling and have bulbs in ? Lol
When you do those sequences where you pass under something low I find I’m ducking my head to avoid colliding 😆
Haha! That's what it's mean to make you do 😂
Unique combo of nonsense monologue (much appreciated!), laughing answers, and excellent cinematography of canal life. Quirky and very professional. Remain healthy in these uncertain times!
Thank you! 💜
Another great video and some great shots with drone ,what type of drone do you have .hope you both enjoyed your pies which look yummy stay safe lads
Cheers, Kevin. It's a Mavic 2 pro.
Shaun is an excellent captain of silver fox, getting through narrow bridge and I'm wondering if you can teach me should I manage to get a narrow boat.
Ah, it's easy! Any, Colin's the one who's better at tricky manoeuvres 👍🏻
Enjoyed every minute wonderful filming and humorous banter fantastic c u next week take care
Thank you!
Wonderfull scenery, love the sound of water lapping around the boat .the barrel roofed cottages are neat.Thanks.
Our pleasure, Steve!
Love the show, you guys are the best, but why do I keep getting a picture of Morecombe and Wise.
You need to retune your TV. Go back to Rumbelows and ask their advice 😉
great vlog , i never really feel safe on them aquaducts , you never if the bottom's going to fall out hahaha , me & my late stepmum used to have the same arguments as you two lol , she used to say scon , but i used to say scone lol , but she was from hartlepool .
Lori...! Please don't talk about bottoms falling out after Shaun's food poisoning last week 😂
Oh, it's Scon 😛
The two of you always look so well put together. Did that make sense? I mean your clothes. Always looks like you put a bit of effort into it. My wife puts my clothes out! Haha! Either I'm spoiled, or she just doesn't trust me to put an outfit together!
LOL! 😂😂😂
Thank Fox it's Friday! Stunning vlog as always. Have a great week & stay safe.
Thanks, Callum! Have a lovely weekend mate 👍🏻💜
Skoooones are what you eat and Sconches are what you light. Oh no! Now I've gone and done it, I've taken sides. LOL! Great video and as always I love the scenic views, and yes the information is not wasted. I find it interesting. There I've gone and taken side again. Oh well. Happy cruising!
Haha! Keep saying it 😂
Hi Colin and Shaun simply glorious part of England. You've really done it proud with your vlog. Visit Britain eat your heart out. XXx
Thank you! Eating our way around Britain!
How are you coping with this crazy virus. I know you can't stock up on supplies and you meet many people. Stay safe though it all.
Oh, and keep up the great vids. Oooo
Hey, Barry 👋
Nothing really any different for us. We're staying out of the way of the mayhem, organising supermarket deliveries for supplies and trying not to meet too many people.
With all the doom and gloom regarding Coronovirus - your vlogs are a welcome treat - keep them coming guys.
Thanks, Patrick! No doom and gloom here. Here life is beaaaaaaaaaauuuuutiful! 👋🏻😂
@@FoxesAfloat Good to hear guys. All the best.
Love this video! My 6 year old son and I are coping with the lockdown today by watching your videos and imagining ourselves cruising along the canals. Thank you for posting!
Our pleasure, Margaret! Good luck coping with the lockdown! 💜
