    OMG. When Otis lays his little head down on Shawns chest... how precious. Love your videos and following your lives. I know losing Dillon was difficult (I cried for days), but I’m so glad you guys have got yourselves another little buddy.

    Watch out for puppy nips and those tiny claws, Shaun! Thanks for taking us along and LOVED the history on this one, Colin! Wonderful work! Rocky Horror holds a special place in my heart as we had a local theater doing midnight showings for decades and my wife and I went on a first proper date *mumble mumble* years ago! Seeing Oakley Court popped that right up :) Stay safe, have a good time, and hopefully you have great weather (at least warmer weather than the other day)!

    A little trivia...when my mother was a young girl she would come, in the summer, to stay with family near Eton. She remembers going to play with the two young princesses (Elizabeth and Margaret) at Windsor. I wrote to the Queen and asked her if she remembered. I got a slightly frosty reply from a "Lady in Waiting" to say that commoners were never invited to play with the princesses....and I don't suppose the Queen even got my letter!! I posted all of this on a family history site and amazingly got an email from a lady who said that her mother also remembered being picked up in a horse and trap to go play at Windsor with the princesses. Nice little story eh?? Love and hugs and a kiss on the nose for Otis.

    Great video of the river on the way to Windsor. I can't wait to watch your exploring Windsor video. I love the castle and town. Last time I went by myself, and spent the whole day exploring. Lunched at a nice pub on the river by the bridge that goes to Eaton. Cheers 🍻 - Eric in USA

    5:30 - what other puppet shows... here in New Zealand as a kid I watched Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlett & The Mysterons, and also Joe-90. Loved those Gerry Anderdon supermarionation shows! And who could forget "Terrahawks" in the early 80's which had the voice of Windsor Davies in it! There you go... the Windsor connection again (as opposed to the rainbow connection which was another puppet thing... arghhh)

    I really, really liked the shots from waterline at the bow. Thank you for the great quality program you make each week.
    It is such a treat to watch the beautiful scenery and hear all the interesting bits of history. And I love the joy and fun you two put in the vlogs. It is so easy to lose that enthusiasm for life, especially with mental health issues so it is great to see you two hold onto it!

      Well then I'll stick to the Muppets.

    Great video as always Boys. I remember when we went cruising on the Thames some years ago now and we moored by Windsor Race course so we could let our little poodle do a wee. After a few minutes some Jobsworth came running up to us screaming "Get that dog off the Race course" As you can imagine we jumped back on the boat and legged it. That is my memory of Windsor. After saying all that you are on beautiful part of the Thames. Take care as always and be careful Sean on the forthcoming trip. Lots of Love. xxx

    Hi, I'm still loving your journey down the Thames from here in Buenos Aries. You should give sailing a try. I used to belong to the Thames Sailing Club based between Kingston upon Thames and Thames Ditton, each year we used to tow a string of 'Thames A Rater ' Dinghys to Bourne End for the annual sailing regatta . Your dog looks so sweet compared to my little bugger, a 10 year old street dog

    Nice memories of the river. Cliveden reach is spectacular in autumn when that wooded slope changes colour. We lived in Maidenhead from 1957 to 1967, and the scandals were front page news...... Also more, as just before Maidenhead bridge was Skindles Hotel. That's where many stayed for a dirty weekend in the 20s and 1930s. 24 miles from London on the Bath Road in your MG or similar! Alan.

    Great Vlog as eveeeeerrrrr..... The house Gerry Anderson started in was a Squat that he and the film crew all lived in together, it was in a bit of a state. Once they had made some money on the 'Four Feather Falls' series and 'Supercar' they bought a unit at Bray Studios and set up the Model studios there for filming Thunderbirds and all their subsequent series after right through to Terrahawks.... The Hotel you spoke of at the Studios was 'The Frankenstiein Place', House of Frankenfurter, in 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'.... but I bet you already knew all this through your always excellent research LOL x
