I participated in a few hectic but fun re-enactments at Tewkesbury in the late '80s and early '90s, so much fun, a super festival, your vlog brings back loads of amazing memories, thanks so much!
thanks for the history lesson. as I watch your videos I watch Google earth to get a better perspective of where you are. keep safe and keep the puns coming.
Still enjoying your vlogs, I will subscribe once I've caught up. Loving the music too, especially the one with the banjo, and yes it's playing as I comment. 👍👍
History has always been an interest of mine... I'm definitely only slightly knowledgeable though... there's just too much history to fit in one brain! M
Enjoyed your vlog even more than usual being local to your location, thank you for explaining to everyone about the history of the end of the war of the roses ending in Tewkesbury, also the Abby being associated to so much bloodshed, it was a very violent time in history. great vlog thank you.
Glad you found the Purton hulks, one of my favourite places in the world. It was a pity you didn't get to see a sship coming into Sharpness. It's an amazing sight, that even non boaty people are spelbound by. Love the vid's by the way.
Interesting history from M and lots of George pooing ...makes a great vlog. Great hat Jo. Looking very wintery now on your travels. Lock coordination must have been difficult even impossible before mobile phones.
Purton is the graveyard for the trows,the boats used on the River Severn... If you ever visit Ironbridge there is the last surviving,fully renovated trow at the victorian museum... Michael,you make history interesting,I’d have listened if you taught at my school!!! Brilliant vlog again both.
Welcome to my neck of the woods guys .. soon to be in my home town of Evesham. Well your already well past in real time. Shame my 2 Bassets would have loved to have met George for a run around crown meadow. Stay safe keep the vids coming. Love um. Rob Boris and Nelson 😁🐕🐶🇬🇧
Well, that was irresistible clickbait - I’m due on the Avon in a few weeks’ time! For a second I thought I’d be stranded. I shall have to remember to book.
Haha, sorry. We are usually terrible at clickbait, so have to take advantage when we can! Annoyingly it really works! Sorry! Enjoy the Avon, we loved it and pretty much had it to ourselves! Jo
the war of the roses shows that normal succession of the king is fraudulent at best but can i say today's video has been so picturesque thank you cheers
Considering monarchy basically comes down to "I'm the king cause I've got the weapon" I'm not sure succession by weapon is all that fraudulent. And it's certainly more honorable than gerrymandering! M
Thank you, but I'll have to leave history to the professionals ... may end up teaching the history of programming language development, one of these days, but that'll make for a very different channel! M

Wonderful VLOG as always you briefly explain the history and the present situation.
Glad you enjoyed it! M
thanks for the history lesson. as I watch your videos I watch Google earth to get a better perspective of where you are. keep safe and keep the puns coming.
Oh don’t worry, there’s no stopping my hot cross puns! M
Excited to see the rest of your trip up the Avon. Me and my little boat made it for like a millisecond. UA-cam star in the making.
Sorry we missed you! Stay turned... next Avon vlog is on Tuesday.
With such a small boat it’s easily done. I am subscribed and even clicked the bell so I will look forward to it.
About halfway down that canal is where the Lechlade canal will come out, at the Saul Marina. You also missed the Slimbridge Wetlands.
Still enjoying your vlogs, I will subscribe once I've caught up. Loving the music too, especially the one with the banjo, and yes it's playing as I comment. 👍👍
I find the music so difficult to choose! Glad to hear I get it right sometimes! 👍🏻
2 hours to Tewkesbury from Gloucester.. man your boat must fly!!!
Downhill all the way! ;-) M
looks like nice British day, some sunshine would make it even better, great video, TH.
A little bit of sunshine makes any day better! ☀️
Yet another interesting video. Congratulations Mike on your knowledge of English history in particular the Wars of the Roses.

Glad you liked it! Fascinating place. M
Great start to the month. Thanks guys. Gday George xxx 🐕🐕👌
Thank you! George says hi!
Nothing like a battle axe to sort out a little problem ....
Indeed. Especially when that problem is within swinging distance. M
Glad you got some glimpses of sun...looked like a beautiful day but probably pretty chilly. I am looking forward to all your videos this month!
Thank you Luann! Jo
Glad you found the Purton hulks, one of my favourite places in the world. It was a pity you didn't get to see a sship coming into Sharpness. It's an amazing sight, that even non boaty people are spelbound by. Love the vid's by the way.
Thanks! Would have loved to have spent more time exploring at Purton. The ships were fascinating! Sharpness is a weird and wonderful place
i love the scenery you show, i live in a damned desert and it is soooo refreshing to see :)
This was such a beautiful section of the river! We didn’t travel far but it was a lovely morning! Jo
Interesting history from M and lots of George pooing ...makes a great vlog. Great hat Jo. Looking very wintery now on your travels. Lock coordination must have been difficult even impossible before mobile phones.
It's barely possible with them! M
Informative and enjoyable as usual.
Thank you Marian 😊
Great video! Love the historical information. Please keep it coming.
Thanks Brent. Will do!
Great and interesting video thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Thank you 😊 J
Really interesting vlog, and the video production just keeps getting better and better in my opinion.
Thanks Alan, that is so nice to hear! 😀

Michael,you make history interesting,I’d have listened if you taught at my school!!!
Brilliant vlog again both.
We're looking forward to visiting Ironbridge at some point! And I'm glad someone finds me interesting! M
Minimal List Ironbridge is amazing,I’m lucky to live in the heart of it.
Welcome to my neck of the woods guys .. soon to be in my home town of Evesham.
Well your already well past in real time.

Stay safe keep the vids coming. Love um.
Rob Boris and Nelson 😁🐕🐶🇬🇧
What a shame we missed you. This is exactly the reason I we want to catch up with real time! We really loved Evesham, great town and mooring! Jo
Great as always xx 😁
Thank you Karen 😊

thumbsup great vid
Thank you 😊
That lock at 4:40 looks huge
It was pretty big, could have fitted a fair few more boats in there! J
Laughing so hard you sh*t, that's my wife pet name for me.
It's a good pet name! M
thumbs up from me
Thank you!
@ 2.30 the purton hulks, put there to slow erosion. without them the canal would have been breached by now.
Yeah! It’s a fascinating area! Wish we had stayed longer and had better weather! Jo
Michael waxes eloquent on the history, perhaps you should consider teaching history, ONLINE, You are better than many of my old dull history teachers.
Thank you, but I'll have to leave history to the professionals ... may end up teaching the history of programming language development, one of these days, but that'll make for a very different channel! M
Here's another Severn for ya: ua-cam.com/video/7RbEkXca6Ew/v-deo.html
