@@TheFishLocker Quite right....and I'd start a crowd fund for your defence. Some folk have no idea how to behave in decent society. Funnily enough the most wholesome, caring bunch of guys I've ever met were the fishing community. When I worked the scallop dredges and the creels the sense of brotherhood was almost indescribable. Everyone had your back and ignorant folk trying to use you for their own ends would have taken a long walk off a short pier.
As a US viewer who has never lived near the ocean I appreciate the education of the marine life and coastal environment. I am very sorry that people do not respect privacy and safety of your family. Thank you for making the videos. Please stay safe.

John , you are giving James the best possible upbringing. This close, intimate contact with Nature is so important now. Most youngsters watch TV only , and while Attenborough's programs are wonderfully researched and filmed - they are like Disneyland in comparison with what James is getting. Keep doing the real stuff.

Hi Sherri.
It's been a long time since I last dropped by for a comment, but I wanted to let you know that finding your channel was one of the happier moments of my heavy pandemic era. Calming voice, educational video, refreshing outdoors, happy family dynamics - what more could anyone ask for? Made me so glad to see you still doing these videos and promoting sustainable foraging, but I think the best part was just seeing young James all grown up to be a strong reliable little man like his dad and mum; how fast time flies! 😊 I hope your light won't be dimmed by the darkness of others; as long as you know you're not hurting anybody, keep doing what you do because it makes you happy as much as it makes us viewers happy. Thank you, and I wish you all the best! 🤗

As a kid from London I used to forage the north coast kent beaches on holiday I would pick cockles and mussels from the rocks and my mother cooked them I would also use some as bait on a bent safety pin and string to catch crabs, these days the rocks there are black and barren of seafood and the sea is filthy like a sewer alas so it's nice to see somewhere clean, thanks for sharing love your channel.
