@@user-lu8hl3bg4x oh I didn’t know that! It would be a great location for filming…although they wouldn’t have to mind the wind 😅

@@NicolaExplores Made me want to watch some old episodes. Great series - Trevor Eve was fab!

@@SouthWestSundays aw thank you ☺️ glad you enjoyed watching another ‘take’ on the area. We really are very lucky to have so many wonderful places to visit in the south west 🥰

@@CuriousCat128 have you been during sunset? 🌅 You really have to keep an eye on the sand during the summer months at sunset, but worth it if you can.

@@CuriousCat128 hi Richard and Sally 👋 thanks for letting me know. I will check out your channel too. Looks like we visited Covent Garden around the same time last year! It definitely would not be so much fun in the rain 🌧️

@@NicolaExplores We like going to london around Christmas time to see the lights and stroll around the Christmas markets.

@@alecjefferson6993 not great…the nearest free parking is around The Downs. Otherwise you can pay to park in residential streets around Clifton.

@@debbiestarks9839 it really is 🤩 I love filming sunsets and can’t wait to share this week’s travel guide on Saturday. The second half is packed with beautiful sunsets in Berrow 🌅

@@alecjefferson6993 love a good cafe! ☕️ I think I must have been more broadly speaking about a mixture of cafes, restaurants and pubs to dine in, which is why I would have used the word “eateries” 😊 I can’t remember using the word as it was a long episode about good old Weston! 😅Thanks for taking the time to comment 😊

@@NicolaExplores thanks it was a very interesting film I like the Clifton suspension bridge. Is there any parking at the bridge cars or motorbikes? Thanks.

@@alecjefferson6993 thanks ☺️ there’s on street parking on the surrounding roads…pay and display. There isn’t a dedicated car park to speak of.

@@davidrowe7967 I checked with my dad and unfortunately not. We’re going to go through all the footage during the winter and digitise it 😊

@@NicolaExplores Thank you for reply. I look forward to watching the lovely videos.

@@davidrowe7967 thank you ☺️ have a nice weekend

@@SharonBartlett-to2uv 😋

@@50thunderer26 gosh…never thought of trying that!

@@joannachapman-ellis7998 oh fantastic 🤩 We wondered who he belonged to. He was always surveying the square when we passed! Thanks for letting us know.

We are here with Romeo in Lucca now. He is very chunky and happy with all the affection and love from the tourists here. 😻😻😻

@@joannachapman-ellis7998 oh fantastic 🤩 wish we were there!

@@vincentneale2620 oh fantastic - it’s changed massively since then. You must have lots of wonderful memories. I shared my grandpa’s footage, filmed during the 1960s which you also might be interested in watching. Thanks for taking the time to comment and sharing your memories with me. It’s lovely to hear them. I hope they are able to bring boats back to Birnbeck Pier one day 🤞

@@50thunderer26 thanks so much for all your encouragement 😊 yes the RNLI have just submitted the first round of planning applications and are working with the Council and the Birnbeck Pier Regeneration Trust. The plan is to reopen the pier to the public with a cafe and visitor centre and to rehouse the RNLI on the island. However they need a further 11.5 million for the project and are hoping to complete a National Lottery grant for 10 million. They have already secured some grants from the Levelling Up Fund, Historic England and the National Heritage Memorial Fund. The pier has been owned by the Council for just over a year after they competed a compulsory purchase order. I hope it all goes to plan.

@@NicolaExplores What will happen to Beatle rock? Will that be removed or damaged in any way? Hope not.

@@50thunderer26 I’d imagine it’ll be safe as I don’t think they are intending on developing that part of the coast.

You're very welcome...yes it all depends on what you're looking for. There's so many wonderful things to do in WsM. I have made another video about Uphill, and am planning on doing one about Weston Woods and Sand Bay at some point, as well as conversations with locals about the area, so please do subscribe if you'd like to see more videos about the area :) Thanks for taking the time to comment...always good to hear when I cover someone else's hometown, when they think I've represented it fairly :)

@@SharonBartlett-to2uv thank you ☺️ glad you enjoyed watching

@@MrDaiseymay I am glad that I could take you there to enjoy the views via video 😊

@@peterkettle8683 yes it probably would as it is avoidable!

@@user-lu8hl3bg4x oh fantastic, I hope you have fun. We’re going to start attending more of these events as they’re so enjoyable 🤩

@@keithbartlett8926 perfect weather for it ☀️

No problem… I was planning on filming Uphill that day, but thought it was interesting to document all the hard work that goes into rescuing someone. What was your role?

Sorry to hear it broke up - it seems to be ok on ours so hopefully just a digital blip 🤞 I hope it didn’t spoil your viewing experience. I really appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching.

Oh yes you’re absolutely right - I got confused as I couldn’t remember the name and when you mentioned it, I thought it must be that one 😅 We loved Watchet so would love to go back and film the area properly so we’ll have to visit the Pebbles Tavern then. I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊

Glad you enjoyed watching. It was such a brilliant day. I am going to cover more heritage weekends and days out around Somerset. That’s great that you spotted yourself a few times. We loved all the people who made the effort to dress up as it definitely adds to the whole experience.

@@stephenfryer3654 thanks Stephen, glad you enjoyed and thanks for taking the time to comment 😊

@@caroldelaney4700 glad you enjoyed watching it and thanks for taking the time to comment 😊 You might like to watch my video about Uphill or my grandpa’s home movie about Weston from the 1960s 🙏

thanks Ivor...I hope it brought back some good memories?

A reality lovely video Nicola. The atmosphere of the 1940s weekend really came over so well in it. I love riding the West Somerset Railway and their themed days are extra special. The Radio Museum is one place on my West Country bucket list to visit. I am a massive radio fan and I know I will be fascinated when I visit there.

@@SouthWestSundays oh thank you so much for the lovely feedback 🙏 We’ve visited on a regular day too and also thoroughly enjoyable, but as as you say, extra special when it’s an event. Do you have any particular favourite events? I think you would love the Radio Museum. Definitely worth a visit.

Thanks for watching. Those are some really interesting facts about it so thanks for sharing those with me. Have you been to The Plaza (former Odeon) in Weston-super-Mare? That was is on my bucket list.

@@50thunderer26 thank you, the last of the sun before the rain arrived for the weekend!

Thank you, yes everything is better when the sun is shining so beautifully! I hope it brought back some good memories for you.

@@ivorsutton4866 thanks for watching Ivor and for taking the time to comment 😊

@@chrisrebar2381 oh fantastic - hope you had better luck getting home than Colin did!

@@philproffitt of course… I want to move to Uphill from Bristol so I am glad to hear that. Where did you move from?

@@MrWashaway thanks so much for taking the time to comment and share your memories 😊 What a beautiful place to pitch up.

@@francoisworld9924 yes I could barely scratch the surface in half an hour. Thanks for watching 😊

@@NicolaExplores oh yes loved the video x

@@francoisworld9924 thank you ☺️

Lovely video, Nicola. I do hope you get the opportunity to explore Weston woods. It can be accessed near the top of Prince Consort Gardens by a long flight of steps. From there, you will have a superb view of Birnbeck Pier. As you walk along the upper ridge of the woods, you will see the ancient grain store pits and the remains of the walls of the Iron Age fort. Preservation work is taking place, removing trees which are damaging the ancient structure. There is an adventure playground in the woods, and a path leading down to Sand Bay. You’ll pass the ambitious BMX track and get the opportunity to video some of the aerial work of the riders.

@@peterkettle8683 thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. That’s really helpful. I was thinking of making a separate video of the woods and Sand Bay (like I did with Uphill) so thank you for your tips.

@@KarenC-en6ph aww lovely 🥰 thanks for watching ☺️

@@francoisworld9924 oh gosh, what a connection you have to the place.

@@surfguy66 thank you so much ☺️ that means a lot coming from a local. I love visiting your village (and want to move there at some point)

@@TheKeithBBB definitely 🐕🦮🐩🐕‍🦺

@@SharonBartlett-to2uv couldn’t agree more 🤩

Thank you. It was so much fun today 🤩 and beautiful weather for it too. Hope you are having a good weekend.
