Hi, That will be fantastic - it's a wonderful place to visit. Hope you have a great time. All the best, Gary & Janis

Guys, That is no problem. Helpful advice is always welcome, I struggled to see where I had made the error; I know during the production, I seemed to get it constantly wrong, but I thought I consistently referred to it as Paphos throughout the video; the subtitles and description, and I couldn't see the issue - Then I saw the thumbnail! How, after two and a half years had nobody else mentioned it! I fixed it now, thanks for letting me know, All the best, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou Hi Gary & Janis - excellent. It's #perfect now and thanks for not taking any offence. I foloow you on Twitter X but only subscribed after catching a link to your account from a post and of course, natural curiosity took me to your Cyprus playlist. I shall have a look now to see what other goodies you have to offer! Myself, I tend to stick to UA-cam shorts - I don't like being on camera and just don't have the patience to provide voiceovers, especially with a Lancashire accent which never produces clear subtitles ;-) We're currently looking at a different place to visit from Benidorm as we're familiar with the destination and a winter trip means we will want to be out and about. We've visited Villajoyosa and Alicante so we're toying with taking an overnight stay around Denia during our 9 nights in the early part of winter. Cheers, Shell

Hi Ian, Thanks for stopping by; it doesn't feel like too much has changed around here. I guess a few shops may have come and gone - The butcher's is no more. However, Wincheslea is a lovely place to visit, and it has so much history. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi, So glad you liked it. Paphos is a wonderful place, and the weather should be a little kinder than here in the UK. Have a great time, Gary & Janis

Hi there, So glad you liked it - we have a fair bit of content from Romney Marshes and the surrounding area because we enjoy it so much. If you get the chance, go explore because it is a fascinating place. All the best, Gary & Janis

Wow, so that means you're there today! Have a great time. How long you there for, what have you got planned? What ever happens enjoy - seeing somewhere new is fantastic. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi, Thank you, I know what you mean about the Victorian Gothic; I think it reflects our nostalgia for the period. The grounds and gardens were something else, I'm glad we saw them, would to have hated to have missed them. It was warm, if a little damp at times. Anyway, all the best, Gary & Janis

Dave, That's always the challenge, and Janis manages that so well, as I do the still photography. Normally, there's a fair bit of editing too, and a careful selection of shots, and sometimes you just have to go with the flow. To be honest, we've been three times, and it won't be our last (Helps Westerham Brewery is just around the corner too!), and if you like history, don't forget to check out Quebec House - It's in the video 'Our visit to Westerham in Kent, and a look around the National Trust Quebec House' - ua-cam.com/video/V38GdDCAqtc/v-deo.html . Major General Wolfe is an overlooked figure, but he's remembered in monuments in so many places. I loved your video on Westerham; it's great to see how we all create our content differently. I'll drop a comment shortly. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hey Tatjana, Please don't apologise - my mistake. It sounded okay on my PC, both in the app and when I exported, but something must have happened in the upload process. I will make sure I bring the background levels down in future videos (Just so you know, all my videos have subtitles I created, rather than UA-cam created, so you can use these - but you shouldn't need to) Anyway, thanks so much for the support, Всего наилучшего - All the best, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou Thank you. I hope I haven't upset you. 🙂

Hi Tatjana, 😀 Of course not, I peeked at your opening video, and lo and behold, Canary Wharf, my working home for 18+ years. Working in IT in that environment is not really a place for shrinking violets. Plus you comments were helpful, not a problem - I'll try to make sure it doesn't happen again. All the best, Gary (& Janis)

@OurWorldForYou Hi Gary, thank you 😊 I live in Poplar so Canary Wharf is almost on my doorstep 😉 There was a Guide Dogs Charity event last year with the trail of dogs sculptures. This Charity is very close to my heart, I have done fundraising in 2022. My aim was to walk 400km in July and to raise £1500 but I've managed to walk 500km and raise £2500😊 I am originally from Lithuania but I live in London since 2007. Best regards Tatjana

Tatjana, Wow, that's amazing, such a good cause. Now, I have a question: where's the English language version of your channel? You have some great content, and I'm sure we English speakers would love to hear your storytelling. (My Russian is a little rusty 😊) Whatever, keep up the good work, share the word to the Russian-speaking world (but an English version would be nice), and keep exploring. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Tim, Dungeness is special, such a magical place. Like you, I agree that the Dungeness estate should not be 'private' hands, actually it's owned by the French State, as EDF is wholly French. I do wonder why we can't have a British State-owned energy company, but now we're wandering into politics. At least it's possible to still explore it freely and explore the magic that is Dungeness. All the best. Gary & Janis

Thanks so much Akologo, hope you enjoyed it All the best, Gary & Janis

Am doing powerful enough because God is great

Hi It could be my 'H's', but I think it was a link to the Friars website and another for Aylesford Farmer's Market. Hope that helps, All the best, Gary & Janis

Fantastic, have a great time - the rain should have passed by then, so you should get to enjoy the gardens - It's probably best to do the house first and then the gardens and prepare to get a little muddy - don't miss Winston's studio either. All the best, Gary & Janis

I think that's true of so many places, but the southeast worst, and then we didn't have the money, nor the will to restore it to, so some pretty poor decisions were made - but that's the past, and we still have some decent buildings with history. Our pub scene is under threat, and I think the Pubco's share the responsibility for this - Like supermarkets knocking out greengrocers, butchers & fishmongers, still some that will tell you that's progress. I think pubs should have to display that they are part of a pubco, but when you see the same generic beers on tap you soon get the idea! Anyway, we should champion the independent pubs like The Rifle Volunteers by Goachers, find them an love them. Anyway, thanks for watching the video, hope you enjoyed it. All the best, Gary & Janis

Willem, You have me at a loss I can't break the code, or understand the comment. You have me beaten All the best, Gary (& Janis)

@@OurWorldForYou Ok, these buildings - in part - might be lots older. If you examine the cellars, and the cellars of the cellars in the circle (near the crescent) for instance. And the entryways on the cellar level - below the current entrances... It might indicate before some kind of crazy event which created that (dumped that much stuff as a cataclysm for instance), as no normal person would build like that. Ground level seems to be raised by a lot. There are stories about this / staff / servants / But this fully buried and half buried is a much more international phenomenon. What happened "after", was it just for the taking? Free? If you want to be sure - start digging with a shovel. (I was there last week - inspiring - did not feel royal at all). Basically I do not believe any of the royal stories. Probably they just took it, refurbished and established / founded the current system (see their word choice?). Not Built.

Hi Lesley, Thank you, and I'm sorry; hopefully, my later videos are better; it takes a while to get the balance right. I also ensure all my videos are correctly subtitled rather than letting the system auto-create them, which may help. Anyway, thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi there, Sorry for the delay in replying. We've just gotten back from a beautiful couple of weeks in France. Actually, I did think about you as we travelled through medieval France, some amazing places we visited on our travels. Wells Cathedral was stunning, with so much history, and we were lucky to get a little view of the chained library; very interesting. As always, it's lovely to hear from you. All the best, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou Hello Gary, Janis. How lovely, to have a few weeks in France, and so kind of you to have me in your thoughts whilst there. Yes, France still does have some stunning medieval history, some original, some reconstructed in a fairly faithful way.My own abiding memory would be a three day visit some fifty odd years ago - a couple of us history undergrads accompanying a senior lecturer who bewailed that so much had been lost - once thriving monastic centres of learning and important houses of manuscript production reduced to crumbling and semi deserted buildings, due, mostly to an inability to attract sufficient funding for essential repairs. However, that was fifty years ago, so no doubt much has improved over the passing decades - but they were often a sorry sight. Thank you so much for your interesting response - much appreciated, and take care :)

Lovely

Hi Kevin, Sorry for the delay in replying. We've just gotten back from a beautiful couple of weeks in France. Now, this has nothing to do with you coming to the end of winter in Australia - just remember what an English winter is like (But at least we have a proper Christmas dinner - none of that 'on the beach' stuff.) I'm really glad you liked our stuff; it's nice to hear it makes people a little nostalgic. Where else would be your old haunts? Perhaps you can give me some inspiration for another little road trip later this year, or maybe early next? Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment, All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Jean, Sorry for the delay in replying. We've just gotten back from a beautiful couple of weeks in France. I think you're right, and we only ventured there for the control tower and its links to West Malling, plus, we managed to find the right road out. Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment, All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Sue, Sorry for the delay in replying. We've just gotten back from a beautiful couple of weeks in France. Thanks so much for the kind comments, and I'm so glad you liked our video, plenty more to come. But who is Chaz? I'm Gary, and the narrator. 😊 (Perhaps I sound a little like Chaz Hodges from Chaz & Dave 😁) Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment, All the best, Gary & Janis

That's me all over, just relaxed 😴

Hi, Thanks so much, could you try a later video, maybe one of the last 10 or so, hopefully I have improved - or I can double check when we’re back in UK 🇬🇧 Thanks for taking the time to comment anyway, All the best, Gary & Janis

Joan, thanks so much, I’m glad you liked it - there has to be a part two because I know there was plenty we missed. And thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and leave us a comment. All the best, Gary & Janis

Thanks again Joan, sorry only just catching up, love West Malling - we have a Maidstone road trip planned to cover other places nearby. Thanks again for taking the time to drop us a comment. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi, hope you’ve had a great day. Sorry for the short reply but we’re heading south through France, All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi, A thanks so much, glad you like it and it brought back memories. All the best, Gary & Janis

Graham, it really is - we popped back a few weeks back and enjoyed a little refreshment in the Ship Inn and a stroll around the town, all rather pleseant. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment, All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi there, glad you enjoyed the video - you can either send them the link: ua-cam.com/video/_U8JyM8JUOo/v-deo.html Or there's a Share 'right arrow icon' next to the Like 'thumbs up icon' and you can share it via many different methods. I hope that helps All the best, Gary & Janis

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it

Hi Sotriris, Thank you, you are very kind, so glad you enjoyed it All the best Gary & Janis

Hi Katharine, I am so glad you liked it; Sissinghurst is a beautiful place to visit, and we enjoy visiting at different times of the year, too. On the narration side, I think you must have got lucky, I do seem to talk a wee bit on my other videos (note to self to rein it in a bit on future videos - handy as I'm currently working on another National Trust House and garden at the moment!) And the music, well, I try to make it relaxing; it's how we feel as we explore Sissinghurst. Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment, All the best Gary & Janis

Hi Bastien, Firstly, how's the last month been with the Olympics? I bet it was a little different. I'm so glad you like our video. Leuven is great; you should try it. It's only 2.5 hours from Gare du Nord to Leuven, well worth it for a little city break. Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment, All the best Gary & Janis

Hi Raymond, Thanks so much for the additional information, one thing for sure is that Dungeness has a wonderfully rich history. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi there, Firstly, it's good to hear from you again. I hope you are well and that the New Zealand winter is being as kind as it can be. I hope the mention of Hot Fuzz didn't shift the focus away from what is a beautiful, historic city that we really loved. I'm hoping we can get back there sometime soon. All the best, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou The NZ Winter ??? Ah well, we have just been exposed to a very cold system straight of the Antarctic Ice shelf, more pronounced in the deep south, but cold enough. Fortunately short lived, so survivable :) Mmm, Hot Fuzz ???? please elucidate - was I correct in assuming a movie, or perhaps a popular tv series - or even an alcoholic drink ??? The cathedral library, as I recall, held some absolutely exquisite examples of illuminated manuscripts and some rare and important letters and correspondence, although I suspect the later are most likely within British Archives by now. Wells, the stunning cathedral alone is worth spending considerable time in, although I found, as with so many historic places of worship, the antiseptic white interior a genuine disappointment, as the process has removed nearly all aspects of it`s medieval past, which would have been a riot of colour and splendour. No matter, there are also some pretty fine traditional pubs in the city - perfect for drowning one`s sorrows in - ha :) Thank you once again - keeps the memories alive !!!!

Hi, Indeed Hot Fuzz is a comedy movie - (www.imdb.com/title/tt0425112/?ref_=nm_flmg_t_61_act) Written and directed by Edgar Wright, who grew up in Wells. It has a wonderful cast of British actors including Jim Broadbeant, Olivia Coleman, Simon Pegg, Paddy Constantine to name but a few. It is also a beer, brewed in celebration by a local brewery, to commemorate the film. There will be two follow-up videos for Wells, One on the Cathedral and the other on the Bishop's Palace and Gardens, arriving in the coming weeks to cover the details I had to skip in the main video. Anyway, we are enjoying the mixed conditions that is a British summer, All the best, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou Thank you, Gary and Janis for the more expansive explanation re Hot Fuzz :) I look forward to the additional videos of Wells you mention - they will, I know, be top shelf as always !!!! Take care :)

Hi, Now I feel pressured I don't disappoint 😉 We had a lovely time in Wells despite some very British summer weather, and we'd be back in a heartbeat. It's not really that far from our home in Kent, so I think we'll be looking for more fun in the west. On this trip, we headed out to Glastonbury and then up to Cheddar, mainly to follow the road through Cheddar Gorge, but Axbridge looked lovely - Do you have any more hints or tips from a local? I hope when you do like it when you watch it. Take care, thanks for the support, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou This was great. You did the place proud! Thank you. As vistors, you're spoilt for choice in the West Country. Like you are, frankly, pretty much anywhere in the UK. Within easy range from London, I'd suggest Thomas Hardy's Dorset. Dorchester and Shaftesbury are lovely, and just to the south is the glorious Jurassic Coast which, in my opinion, is even prettier off-season. And quieter, of course. Thanks again, both. I look forward to more adventures soon!

Hi, Thanks so much. Maybe we'll head west again in the spring. Our next adventure takes us to France in a couple of weeks, and then autumn sets in, but on the channel, we have a little more from this trip to uncover. Thanks for the support, and hopefully, we can continue to entertain. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Sofia, The issue is not the nuclear power plant. The main reason not to swim here is the strong currents from its shape and position in the English Channel. If you want to swim close by, Littlestone is on one side, and Camber is on the other. You can check the water quality at UK government's environmental agency site 🔗environment.data.gov.uk/bwq/profiles/ for the water quality and whether it is safe to swim. I hope that helps, All the best, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou thanks for the information 👍

Hi Alex, Thanks so much, and no, I didn't know that about the Hasting's International Chess congress, and this year will be the 98th year - that's amazing. I hope you have a fabulous time in Hastings, it is a wonderful place to visit and explore. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi, An AoT fan - Thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave us a comment. Gary & Janis

Hi Cameron, Any more detail? Which of the following fits the bill? You don't like the sound of my voice, but the back sounds are okay The content of the narration could be better Just prefer to look at the video without any audio I'd be interested. I always thought it might be nice on UA-cam to have the narration on a separate channel so you could mute that, but I guess that's a little niche. Anyway, assume you won't subscribe to the channel because all new content comes with narration. However, I'm not offended because I know my style is not for everyone. All the best, Gary (& Janis)

Hi Jennifer, Thanks so very much; that's very kind of you. I'm so glad you enjoyed our video. Hopefully, there's more on the channel that may be of interest to you that you can take a look at. Thanks again for taking the time to stop by and leave us a comment. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Susan, And how much of it did you recognise? Is it just the same? And where would we find you these days? Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi John, So, did that lead to a life on the ocean wave and lead you to a life in Canada? We haven't been down to Pompey way in some years, although Janis spent her childhood there as the family run a little B&B in Shanklin for a number of years after a life in London. We do need to head back to the Isle of Wight, has to be something for next year. All the best, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou I went to sea as an apprentice ..for (4) years..sailing world wide...!!! after qualifiyng sailed as 3rd+2nd+1st mate/s + master ( skipper) in 1967 was recruited by a Canadian company and immigrated to Montreal,Canada with wife & three kids .......gave up going sea !!! in 1968 I was trasnsferred to Japan - where spent seven(7) years then two (2)years in Hong Kong -then six(6 years in San Fraancisco + two(2) years back in the UK ( lived in Waldershhare) near Dover ..Then back to Canada.... Been here ever since ... Your comment/question ref Eirth We were "evecuated " :when the 1sr V-1;s ('DOODLE BUGS/BUZZ BOMBS) stared to arrive as they landed initially( lots of them !!!!! ) in the Folkestone-Dover area and I suppose the idea was to move away from the coast ..but it was naive to think that the eventual target was London....and of course they did get there ! My btoher was killed on Aug 3rd .1944 ......one day before his 4th birthday. D-Day was June 6th 1944 but the V-1' we still being launched - from Northern France and Belgium.....followed later by the V-2's ..... regardds john m

Hi John, Firstly, so sorry to hear about your little brother - another side to the horrors of war, the innocents. Erith seemed like an odd choice being on the banks of the Thames, officially still in Kent then, but so close to London. My late father used to tell of his childhood getting chased off bomb sites, and once got a whipping after he was caught at the site of the wreckage of a V1 trying to salvage a little bit of memorabilia. That would have been in Welling, not too far from Erith. We just got back from the British Normandy Memorial, overlooking Gold Beach, with Juno to our east, the Canadian beach. Sounds like you'd has a life. I (Gary) was born in '67, and you were just settling down. We've been to Hong Kong ('97), San Francisco ('02 & '06) and Montreal ('10) but Japan is still on the wish list, and never been to Western Canada, still there's plenty of time. You are lucky to have seen so much and experienced so much; I'm struggling to understand what life in Japan for seven years would have been like in the late '60's. I think we're all a little spoilt these days. Anyway, lovely to hear from you, All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Ian, Thanks so very much. I think I prefer the French version of "Cinque Port", it makes more sense, "Five Ports", rather than the Anglicised version, but in future I'll refer to English pronunciation. I do love our Anglo-French History and recently came back from Dives-sur-Mer, where William the Conqueror left for England on that fateful day in 1066; it is a fascinating place, in fact, the whole of Normandy, and our intertwined history. There will be more of that on the channel soon. All the best, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYouyes it is interest history and I agree about the French origin of Cinque but not how it’s pronounced locally. Did you know that some of Norman Armada tried to land at Romney (there was no Old and New Romney at the time) but were beaten back. There were later repercussions after the main landing and battle of Hastings. Which is also partly why the church in NR is so big. I think one of William’s relatives took an interest (Bishop Odo?). The church was originally one of five. Also badly flooded in 1287? during storm. This is why the steps to church lead down due to build of sediment/shingle around church. Can still see the flood level on the pillars in the church.

Hi Ian, We've seen the church at New Romney, we've two videos of the 14 historic churches of New Romney - ua-cam.com/video/p3daFX5sSPk/v-deo.html & ua-cam.com/video/tK1bXGl4jDs/v-deo.html - If you watch them, then you'll have to close your ears when I repeat Cinque Ports! I am interested in the Norman invasion and those that came before it and how they shaped the English language. It's astounding how much English is actually French or German. Thanks for taking the time to comment, All the best, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou thanks. I saw those videos later. Thanks for making them. I noticed you got a bit lost in NR.

Hi Ian, Just a little - We need to head back to New Romney as we haven't been inside Saint Nicholas Church. I'm sure it'll be soon. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Gina, Thanks so very much. I'm so glad you liked it; it is a beautiful place to visit. I hope you visit soon. It looks wonderful in the summer, but in any season, it's a treat. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Mike, You had best not subscribe then because all my videos are like this. And as for liking the sound of my own voice; I don't really, but I do like to share the things that we discover when we visit somewhere, and I think talking about it the most effective medium. Anyway, all the best, Gary

Hi John, Thanks so much, so glad you liked our little look at Tenterden - There should be plentry more for you to explore too. All the best, Gary and Janis

Hi Robert, Indeed, and wandering around the streets of Bayeux, Port-au-Bessin and Arromanches-les-Bains, it seems the sacrifices are not forgotten there. All the best, Gary and Janis

Hi, That's a story similar to Janis's paternal side who moved to Greenwich from farming around Faversham. They ended up working on the Thames as Lightermem, including her father, until the working life of the Thames came to an end. You may be interested in another of our videos too; 'A tour of the Historic Churches of Romney Marsh - Part 2' - 🔗A tour of the Historic Churches of Romney Marsh - Part 2 The last church on that trip is St Peter & St Paul's Church, Newchurch - that may be of interest to you Anyway, all th best, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou Thabk you so much ,Ill check out the video. I know my Great Great Grandmothers funeral was there,Im guessing she was buried there,Ill have to find out if there's a Headstone,I guess some didn't get one.

Hi, The cemetery is pretty big; it's whether they were buried there (my guess they were), if they may have had a headstone, or something simpler in wood that may not have survived the test of time. Whatever, it's a little bit of your history. The exhibition in the corner of the church may be interesting though. All the best, Gary and Janis
