We're BROKEN! Is this the end of our narrowboat journey? Ep. 133.

With Shaun ill and his Dad dying we feel broken! Is this the end of our narrowboat journey? No way! The show must go on! We leave Etruria Junction heading up the Caldon Branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal in search of a quieter mooring.
Find out how the Bedford Street Staircase Locks work, why the newer Planet Lock was added further along, and why the Foxley Arm reminded Colin of where he grew up.

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.

[@gerdymcferty4124]

So true. I would wait for sure. Wonderful men they are!!

Hi Catherine. We had almost FIVE WEEKS break and Shaun wanted to get moving, which was cleared by the doctor. Of course he looks weak, but he actually feels okay. Almost back to normal! xxxxxx

[@catherineallen6024]

Hi @@FoxesAfloat ! Thanks for the reassurance!! Your channel is one of the most professional and well-handcrafted on youtube. I'm more impressed than ever at the way at put out a vlog a week no matter what else is going on. I'm so, so glad that Shaun's feeling ok and that you're doing well too.

[@verasileikis17]

🇨🇦❤️ 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 KZbin 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. Thank you again for welcoming us all into your lives.

[@chankirtan]

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.

[@cl330]

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.

[@arthurosborne2445]

Why the hell would 96 people not like this ! Stumbled on to your videos' so glad I did . Great to see people living the life they want, the way they want . Sorry to both for the loss of Shauns dad and wishing you both all the best on a Covid recovery . Good luck guys .

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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

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 realize that this was several months ago but just wanted to say that I am so sorry about your dad Shaun. I saw that every time you were leaving to visit him your face would light up. Sending you love and hugs.

I’ve been watching your journeys for a while they have brightened my days, this particular window into your lives really made me well up, yet you kept it true to form. Thank you it really is a gift letting us in as you do while taking us not just on a physical journey but inviting us somewhat into your lives. Books are just people who want to talk to us and give us a new world to delve into, your vlog is just the same the world you present to us is comfort, warmth and inspiration.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Wow, thank you

Love and Hugs Guys! Shaun, keep those wonderful memories of your Dad in your heart and he will be with you forever (and let Colin do all the work for a change!). Great to see you both on the move again. And those geese...we live on the Atlantic flyway and see at least 3 or 4 groups of over 100 geese congregate for their migration...and they circle over our house collection all their buddies before starting their trek. Noisy is an understatement.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thank you so much! Its great to be moving again xx
