    We feel like we know our way around London, thanks to John, and us watching so many videos of his journey around. 😄 We were familiar with the area when we got there last year, and will be more familiar this March! I know locals of London, are used to hearing Big Ben, and they don't even take any notice, but when we were there, I had tears in my eyes! We just stopped in our tracks every time we heard it! I was like, "shhhh" Big Ben is chiming! Gives me shivers!😂❤

    I’ve always said you have an artist’s eye. You see (and then share with us) the beauty found in what others only see as the ordinary. The ability to see things that others don’t makes you an artist. Do you do much photography? I think you should! 📷😊

    I think as the Blues will have ridden over from Hyde Park Barracks in the rain the horses will need a good rub down , tack sorted as well and the cloaks will be wet . First change over with the Life Guards done so they could leave then bring the first two horses in earlier to dry them off . I'm sure dry cloaks will be in the kit for the boxmen as well . Just a guess 😊. If we have a new horse who was nervous ,another Z name possibly so will be around 6 years old . " Oi move " straight and to the point 😀

Your videos are such a joy to look forward to I may have to break my rule and get back on to Instagram. Thank you for your great personality, humor and laugh. Through you and your videos I have discovered that even the most ordinary people seem to be more beautiful if they smile and your laughter at their antics has brought me such joy through a year in the US that has been really horrible.

      Horses are brought in after passing their training every year and named using a different letter of the alphabet , so the youngest horses have Z names , next year will be A names . Earlier this year 9 horses retired to The Horse Trust in Buckinghamshire , the oldest two being 22 years old . They carry on working as long as they are fit and healthy 😊.

    Could someone help me out I’m new to this channel having said that I totally agree with John about the scammers and people filming guards up close after all they are working . I never want to give them any views so if someone could tell me which ones they are I would appreciate it..
