Like my father I am a keen photographer. My videos allow me to tell the stories behind our photographs - from 1880 to the present day - and hence build a picture of our lives that you can join in with, become part of our family, if you like.

Переглядів 2032 місяці тому
Cardiff to Newport. Walking from Cardiff's iconic Millennium Centre to the equally majestic Transporter Bridge in Newport. It's not very pretty at either end as you walk past industry and suburban sprawl but the central section is truly magnificent - and even on a beautiful day there was nobody else there. This is a narrated photography tour so please SET YOUR UA-cam RESOLUTION TO 4K.
My Parents - 2001 to 2011 - Moving to Cirencester

After 35 years in Swansea it was time for my parents to move closer to family and the obvious location was Cirencester, close to both my sister Margaret and myself. This is the penultimate video in a series of chapters stretching right back to the 1880s and my grandparents - hopefully building into a complete history of my parents lives. This is photo based video so to get the best viewing expe...
Walking the Welsh Coastal Path - 7.8. Newport to Redwick - 4k Photography
Переглядів 583 місяці тому
Definitely a walk of two halves Newport, despite the wealth created from coal and steel, looks very tired. The walk from the railway station to the Transporter Bridge is not great and the coast path was blocked by repair work. But once you hit the coast the views are magnificent - not just of the awe inspiring Bristol Channel but also inland over the Newport Levels. This is a narrated photograp...

Thirty years later a trip to Copenhagen with the Boys from the Band saw us travelling by foot, cycle, boat and train.

Neither of us had been to Northern Ireland before so this was a real eye opener. At first sight the city itself looked like many other post industrial cities in Britain with big dock redevelopments and a new iconic museum (the marvellous Titanic Museum) A coach trip on a rainy day took us along the coast to see many historic and Game of Thrones sites before finishing at the incredible Giants Ca...

...you come across this! (picture of mud).
A great place to visit right now, but alas it looks like Brexit has reignited division and the place could return to troubles. When they start talking about a united Ireland again, there are a lot of people who don't want that. Let's hope it still feels a good place to visit in the coming years. I know my mother and most of the people she knew left Belfast and would never return.
A classic month!
Rob!
What a handsome young man
Hi Jac The building next to the Senedd is the Pier Head building which was once the headquarters of the Bute docks company.
Mike - Im taking you wit me next time - you're great for my viewing figures!
Kid's drummer didn't have the Ginger groove. Clapton's did.
You are right - Clapton had a fantastic band. But we weren't comparing drummers
@@jacmadochansel Probably Steve Gadd. Wasted on Clapton.
Very funny
fitting tribute thanks for letting me into your life 😅😁
No problem 😊
These are so precious jac ❤️ love the commentary the photos and videos, it’s fantastic and such a special collection of memories ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing the beautiful views. You can't beat beautiful countryside and a good pub with real ales. Happy days. 😃
A pleasure
What a wonderful loving son you are. I have really enjoyed your tribute to your interesting parents.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for all this. It's very important to preserve these stories for history's sake. Your research and delivery and eloquence are commendable!
Much appreciated
You deserve a holiday
grannies dad at the end looks just like Thomas!
What an absolute gem! What a magnificent Mum. Better than anything on the telly.
A great and interesting video about a great and interesting lady, whose life has spanned almost 100 years, during which she has seen so many changes in how we live especially in how we view religion and God. Her comments about the Chapel and religion in Wales could easily apply to the rest of the UK/ Western Europe.
the observatory is finally open!
You two presenters are definitely turning into the new Phil and Holly.😊
Did I hear Jac say he shared a cake! 😮 seriously, it looks lovely, definitely will try and visit in the future 😊
That looked like a coati (and frigate birds). ROC, not PRC.
You loved Miami?? WTF? We are no longer friends...
I've been away, so just watched your last 2 videos jac - glad to see you're keeping yourself busy and the house/garden in Cheltenham looks lovely. Best wishes to you, Mel and your families for Xmas and 2023. Keep the videos coming... 😀
Nice to see Daniel showing off his knowledge of Welsh with his mamgu.
Move over Ant and Dec. We now have Jac And Mel.☺️👍
Can’t wait to see your garden with all your Christmas lights up. It will look great Jac.
Front door needs painting
We're not in SanFran now
The front door needs some colour
Style - hard to define but easy to recognise
June has been a fun month Jac - highlights for me was our boat trip to worm's head in Roscilli to see the sea birds/the seals and the concert with Elton. Glad to see the house is almost finished 🙌 😌
My backside has never had so much attention. 😂
Front door needs painting
Hmmm. let's see
The Pantheon is also one of my favourite places - it looks like you both had a wonderful time in the eternal city and what a wonderful way to celebrate Matthews 21st.
Thank you Seamus
"pestilence"
Exhausting but a great day out
Since you left Swansea for Cheltenham shouldn't your videos now be renamed "The life Of John" LOL
Is my room ready yet??
Damn it, Jac! This video is so sad , the last time I cried like this was when Bambi's mother got shot. 😭
Hope you enjoyed your special mention
Great video Jac, many happy memories. Good luck with the next chapter in your life.
I will be back .....
I got a mention in Jac video. My life is complete.
A COMPLIMENTARY mention
Swansea will not be the same without you and the house down the marina. I have so many happy memories of some great times staying there with you and the lads enjoying our football weekends. It may be going but will never be forgotten. Thanks Jac
Your not getting rid of me Mike - I am in Swansea next week so prepare yourself for more of the South Wales Coastal Path
Swansea Council should have listened to your words of wisdom 40 years ago Jac. Ah well, better late than never!
Thanks Mike, a couple of shots of you and the viewing figures go zooming up
Glad to say that your young trainee is coming along nicely Jac. Only problem is I am worried that you are both going to turn into the new Richard and Judy. 😂
Mike - you still account for my top two videos!
Nice to see the house coming along. Jealous of you managing to get a lovely holiday with Mel in Portugal. Much appreciated my birthday song at the end. After helping you do a video when you last came to Swansea I now realise how much of an effort you make in putting these together. Can't wait for the next one .😊👍
Mike you are a lovely boy and my number one superstar. When you are in the video the viewings shoot up
Fame at last
Who knew Jac Hansel was so talented?!! What a great video and I expect on the next instalment for a house update.
Well, I always knew that Lucy Standing was a lovely girl.
You are getting better and better with each video Jac. Move over Mr Spielberg .
Thanks mike, I think we should have babies together.
Another great entertaining video Jac.
What a busy life you have Jac - great news about Daniel 👏
👍 👍
terrific video
Glad to see you have had second thoughts about swansea jac - the place wouldn't be the same without you!
Where's the grooving? Clickbait! :-)
