After 8 Years on YouTube… We Disappeared for 3 Months!

After eight and a half years of vlogging our lives on YouTube, we disappeared for three months. So… where the hell have we been? Put the kettle on. There’s quite a lot to catch up on. If you’re new to Foxes Afloat, we’re Colin and Shaun. We started vlogging back in 2018, built a narrowboat called Silver Fox, spent two years travelling the UK waterways, then swapped life afloat for a very different life in the Scottish Highlands. Since then there’s been travel, bees, chickens, books, motorhomes, mental health, a fair few questionable decisions and, apparently, a complete inability to stay in one place for very long. This summer we stepped away from YouTube for three months. We travelled thousands of miles, caught up with people we hadn’t seen for ages and had time to think about a lot of things. Some of which explain why I’m having this conversation while walking beside a waterway. And yes, I know what you’re thinking. I’ll come back to that. It’s an honest catch-up about the last few months, what taking a proper break after more than eight years taught me, changing your mind, trying things instead of spending years wondering about them, and why sometimes you need to stop documenting your life for a bit and actually live it. Oh, and we made a couple of fairly big decisions along the way. 🌐 All Our Links in One Place. https://linktr.ee/foxesafloat 🤫 Get Exclusive Content. Support us on Patreon or become a YouTube Member.
