    I think certain people who suffer from mental health issues could really find help in your videos.
    The way you seem to live your life, follow your passion and show lots of grattitude. When you push yourself like this, ordinary things can seem much more pleasurable. Keep up the amazing videos.

    The channel islands are part of the British Isles and are British Crown Dependencies but they are not English, or even strictly part of the United Kingdom. They each have their own independent Parliaments and laws. That aside, I'm a Brit who is proud to have them as family. Beautiful islands and beautiful people.

      Unfortunately that wasn't my experience of them, and I once lived their for years. But if beautiful people is your experience then Fair play.

    A-Haaaa....... Can't believe you're in my back yard, Jersey! It is beautiful & chilled, but like anywhere, once you've been here for a while it gets a bit........ Cabin fever-ish! I look at you guys in the UK with envious eyes, being able to just jump in the car or train and head-out to some wilderness, and hills! As you now know, Jersey doesn't have many (any) mountains or decent hills to climb...... And you can't escape people, at all!!! I could've taken you to some amazing bunker systems that not many people know of, there are quite a few surprises on the Island still. If you ever get to come over again, let me know, be happy to show you about. Nice upload. ATB
