We’re back. 👀 Our first Foxes Afloat vlog since June is finally here. So… where the hell have we been? Quite a lot happened over the summer, and we’ve got some explaining to do. 😂 youtu.be/7lqjtJ0cy10

Celebrity Traitors is back tonight. 👀 Who do you want to win, and who would you banish first? 😂 Still strange seeing Ardross Castle become ‘Traitors Castle’. For us it means friends, family, laughter and our dream wedding day. ❤️ If you were there with us, does it feel weird watching too? 😍

Walking Ollie this morning, I saw this huge web, lit up by the early morning sun like the spider had strung fairy lights through the hedge. I love Autumn in the Highlands. 🍂 Be honest though… are you the ‘beautiful bit of nature’ type with spiders, or the ‘burn the entire hedge down’ type? 🔥😳

We took the summer off. 🚐 ☀️ Now it’s probably time we explained where the hell we’ve been. This should clear everything up. Actually… it’ll probably make it worse. 😂 YouTube - Friday - 4pm. 👀 www.youtube.com/foxesafloat

I absolutely love seeing the red deer start to come down from the hills at this time of year. Small groups like this are appearing in the fields now and, every so often, they even wander into the garden. 🦌 I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of seeing them. 😍

We’re back! 🦊 After a long, hot summer away from YouTube, Foxes Afloat returns next Friday, 2nd October. We’ve travelled a lot of miles, made a few life changes and we can't wait to getting back to making videos. Foxes Live also returns on Wednesday 7th October. There’s a lot to catch up on! ❤️

There are worse ways to start an early trip to Inverness. Just look at that sunrise over the Cromarty Firth. ☀️

Saw this old tractor at the supermarket today and said to Shaun: ‘I bloody love that. We should get an old tractor.’ 🚜 He laughed and said no. Ten minutes later, on the way home… OLD TRACTOR FOR SALE. 😂 Coincidence? I think not. Shaun disagrees.

🤫 The Traitors spoiler… sort of 🫣 Filming’s taking place at the loch near our house for The Traitors, which feels only fair, really. We took over their castle when we got married, now they’ve come to ours. 🤣 No spoilers, however, sharing one photo of a HUGE Traitor that’s appeared on the shore. 😏

Putting up a caravan awning: The ultimate test of a happy marriage. 😬 “To me.” “TO YOU.” “Not THAT way!” “THAT IS YOUR WAY!” “STOP PULLING!” “I’M NOT F*****G PULLING!” 😡 Anyway… it’s up, we’re still married, and no poles were shoved anywhere requiring a trip to A&E. Success! 😂

Traded the motorhome for this… 😏 More comfortable. 😌 More storage. 🧳 Bigger beds. 🛌 But… Shaun’s never towed a caravan in his life. 😬 Leave just one word in the comments, predicting how this journey will end? 🫣

Can’t believe it’s been five years since we last saw Mark & Debbie, aka, Well Deck Diaries. We had a fantastic day catching up with them, talking boats, YouTube, and how well they're both looking. We miss this…♥️

You can actually see the exact moment I realise something isn’t right… 👀⛈️ Just me, a caravan, and a thunderstorm. It doesn’t look like much at first. Don’t skip the ending! 🫨 Sound on. 🔊

Back home after a lovely few days seeing Otis. 🐾❤️ Ollie's such a nervous soul, but with Otis he completely comes out of his shell. Ollie loves him just as much as we do. Otis wasn’t the only reason for the trip, though… We set off in the motorhome, but came home without it. 👀 More on that soon. 😉

Thank you for all the lovely birthday messages! 🎂♥️ Nobody really prepares you for the day you wake up tired and a bit stiff for no reason… and then just stay that way forever. 😅 Inside me is a 20-year-old lad wondering what the hell happened. 🤣 (Not inside me anally) 😳

Foxes Afloat @foxesafloat.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Home again after another lovely break. 🚐 Sunshine, a quiet pitch, strip poker, and a chance to switch off. 😉 There’s a good chance this was our last trip in the motorhome… but we’re grinning because exciting new adventures have a habit of finding us. 😏

A clean sweep! All five. 🏆 Every single honey and marmalade in our little honesty box now has a Great Taste award. Three 2-stars, two 1-star. We didn't see that coming when we made a box to sell eggs from back in 2022. Which is your favourite? 🍊🍋🍯🥃 Still slightly stunned. Thanks, all of you. ♥️

A viewer sent us this SHAMAZING little pineapple for the motorhome. 🍍 Apparently it’s a symbol of hospitality, friendship… and one or two other things. We’ll be very careful which way up we hang it. 😂

Are any of you solicitors who deal with Scots civil law? I’m not looking for an expensive big name, just someone solid, approachable, and sensible on price who can help with a personal matter that needs handling properly. Nothing dramatic. Chats are open if that’s you. Appreciated, as always. 🙏

Apparently, fitting new carpets to ‘the boat’ means Ollie assumes we’re leaving right now. 🐾😂 He’s spent the last hour staring out of the window, dreaming about our next adventure. So… where would you send us next? 🚐

Woken at 2am by the CCTV showing this MONSTER climbing up towards the bedroom. Obviously, I immediately closed the window and slept in my bee suit. I’m not taking any chances. 🕷️😂

Hometime! 🏡 What an amazing trip. We’ve made new friends, rediscovered how much we love travelling, and proved that buying ‘the boat’ was absolutely the right decision. 🚐 We’re already looking forward to the next adventure, but being away has also reminded us just how much we love the Highlands. ❤️

Foxes Afloat @foxesafloat.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Next stop: Croft Naturist Country Park. 🚐 The first thing Shaun shouted as we arrived was “Oh my God, she’s got her t*ts out!” 🤣 I might end up never leaving! 🍃 Also… It’s Shaun’s first time at a naturist club. 🍑 So far, nothing’s fallen off, nobody’s screamed, and he’s still speaking to me. ☀️

Foxes Afloat @foxesafloat.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

We chose this stop for Ollie… 🐾🌲 When travelling with a dog, proper walks make all the difference. Sherwood Pines has miles of woodland trails straight from ‘the boat’, and we’ve ended up with this whole little corner of the campsite almost to ourselves. This is exactly why we love travelling. 🚐💚

Castleford. It’s been a while! I was raised here before leaving in 2004 to travel the world and buy our first narrowboat, 'The Great Escape'. Today we’re just passing through, but it’s funny how a place can still pull at something inside you, even after all these years. 🚐

'The Boat' now has its own official mirror decoration. 🚐 A HUGE thanks to long-time Foxes Afloat viewers, Sally & Simon, who said hello and gave us this beautiful handmade plaque. It’s always mad meeting people who’ve been with us for years, but honestly, it’s one of the best bits of travelling. 💙

Foxes Afloat @foxesafloat.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

On our travels again. 🚐 Our destination is 600 miles away, so we’re breaking the journey with a couple of stopovers. First stop, Edinburgh, Caravan & Motorhome Club site. I had a wander down to Cramond Promenade and hoped to walk across the causeway, but the tide had other ideas. Maybe next time.

This nest box lid had definitely seen better days… 😬 So yesterday I made a new one. Eeeelaine didn’t budge from her egg once, despite all the banging and sawing going on around her. Priorities! 😂🐔

🐝 Every swarm we collect spends time here before joining the main apiaries. This gives us the chance to check their health, treat for potential varroa mites, confirm the queen is laying well, monitor temperament, and make sure they’re building up into strong, healthy colonies.
