    Watching this series for the second time. Wonderful videos that really make me want to buy a narrow boat :) Never be ashamed or embarrassed about your mental health struggles Colin, I know how it feels and I’m so glad you’ve found your rock in Shaun. Love you guys x

    As a father, the one thing I wish for the most is for my child to find a partner who gives her as much love and support as Shaun shows in this video.

    Thank you so much for your generosity if sharing your experience, ups and downs, sunshine and rain. As you talked about staying ahead of the hire boat and your need to arrive at an open mooring, I was so aware of how my nervous system would be feeling if I was on your boat with you. It would be like walking that entire distance with sand in my boots, not a pebble, certainly not a stone that would force me to stop. But gritty, grinding abrasive sand that would rub off the skin and leave me lame for days. That's how the nervous system works and, Collin, it looks like you did everything right. You let your nervous system blow off a little steam, you walked so your nervous system knows it can escape when it needs to and then you gave it some intense quiet. You are so blessed to have a partner and a situation that resources you so you can go through that process. Obviously, you have that blessing because you deserve it. Thank you so much for the sunshine you both bring to my life.

    Colin and Shaun. You both bring me so much pleasure. Watching you two in your escapades is fun and enjoyable. Colin, we are with you and only and what's best for you. You are the strong one for being able to deal with your issues as bravely as you do. And you're right, Shaun is a hero!

    It's surprisingly good to re-visit your canal travels, and to see Dylan again - that must be a wee bit tough for you both but it is lovely to see him again, I'm very keen to see your current adventures with chickens etc... but certainly don't feel short-changed by being offered a revised re-watch... all the best to you both and big hugs for Colin's recovery.

    Another great vlog, Thanks guys and Thank you so much for raising awareness with regards to mental health issues ❤️. We moved onto our boat for a quieter, calmer more relaxed way of life and what an adventure we've had navigating the canal network on our narrowboat Mi Vida Loca' (My Crazy Life 😊). I'm also supporting someone close to me who suffers with depression and has done for many years so I truly understand Colins struggle.

    Hi guys! What a really lovely emotional film. To me, your filming mirrors the honesty and integrity of u both. At times it is 'up close and personal' and at others, when the drone goes up there's a real sense of perspective, light and clarity. You guys have no idea how your films lift and encourage me even in the darkest of moments. Sometimes all I can do is lift my head off the pillow and watch u with one eye open, and when I do I don't feel so alone. Much love xxx

    I'm deeply hopeful that at some point in the very near future, we'll just be calling it "health". We should not distinguish between physical, mental and sexual health, but recognize they're all equally important, without stigmas or labels. Thanks for sharing!

    I can empathise as I suffer too with this, in January this year my mum passed away, one of my dogs had a stroke,( thankfully recovered) and I was diagnosed with heart failure. All in one month. But one of those small thinks I find so cathartic is watching your videos, kinda gives me hope for better things.

    Hi Colin & Shaun I love watching your Foxes afloat and your new spin off episode''s. My name is matty.im an Artist and musician From Liverpool but now I'm living in Wigan on a rough arsed housing estate. Nightmare 😱‼️
    I'd love to be able to get away from these mutant's in Wigan but me & my wife are stuck here. The first thing you notice in Wigan is the constant NOISE. Day & night. It's like being on the set of the film deliverance. You know the lad with the Banjo ,ha ha 😂. You got to laugh or you cry; anyway, My metal health is very bad myself. I have suffered from childhood with severe depression, anxiety and panic attacks , agoraphobia and also at times night terrors so I really empathize with you Colin. I see you as an ambassador for the mentally ill. A voice in the wilderness.
    Like the REM song,
    everybody hurts, .everybody cries; your a great human beings you & shaun.its brill that you have eachother. Like myself with my wife Lindsay. We have our
    💖 soulmates 💖. We love you both. Stay strong 💪. Love & best wishes matty & Lindsay

    It's great to go back and relive your canal journey. Also good to share the mental health event. My wife has been dealing with depression for years a result of her Huntington's disease and the last year or so expanded to random outbursts. Such a blessing you are there to support each other.

    Hi! I discovered your channel through watching other narrowboat channels and I like them all. What I love about the two of you is that you are funny, informative, and honest about yourselves! When you discussed mental health and the tears flowed I was happy to see the honesty. Thank you and I’ll keep on watching! Keep being you!

    It takes courage to share such vulnerability. Thanks. Couple of thoughts- 1) Removing triggers doesnt improve resiliency. 2) A breakdown once in awhile is also normal for neuro typicals -its just human. 3) For sig dysregulation, have a plan pre-made. 4) Sometimes a little bit of anti-anxiety meds helps for a neurological reset. And humour of course!!!!

    Hi Boys. Hubby and I have watched all your eps and are now enjoying your Britain business narrowboat series.

    No-one who hasn’t had a depressive episode knows what it’s like…not even the nearest and dearest who suffer with us, but can’t know what it’s like. The helplessness of it is overwhelming. Having a partner like Shaun is essential. The one things depressives need to understand is that it will pass…..it always does. Days? Weeks? Months? Even years…but it does pass. I think of it like a wave…sometimes my wave is little more than a gentle rise in water level, sometimes, it’s all-consuming and rolls over me over the course of many months….but it does pass.

    Hi Boys, I love watching your vids. I know that you are contentedly settled on your farm now, but could you shed some light on something I never noticed before in the movie "The Bargee" with Harry H. Corbett? I saw a scene where he and Ronnie Barker had their barges lashed together. Was this a common thing then? Any light you can shed would be appreciated. I feel for Colin as I too have meltdowns but I have severe PTSD caused by attacks on me that were very serious.(I won't elaborate here).
