Thank you I love watching your videos
Thank you very much too. Glad you enjoy my videos. Stay safe.
Well, my home lands, and as usual, an absolutely sublime production. I really miss the sea, and I am and will forever be grateful for you guys, guardians of the lights and eyes of the seas. Brilliant Peter, absolutely brilliant.
Thank you very much, glad you liked the video. I hope other ex Keepers get to read your kind words too. Cheers and take care.
Nice treat for a Sunday morning 😎 Thank you for another great video 👏
Thank you David, Glad you enjoyed it. Stay safe and have a great day.
As Always, So Very Well Edited & Presented, & Enjoyable.
Thank you very much Tommy. Glad you enjoyed it cheers. take care
St Anthony's looks a very nice place. Thanks for the upload Peter.
Thank you David. Yes St. Anthony's would be one to buy if you win on the lottery. A beautiful Lighthouse in a beautiful location. cheers and stay safe.
Marvellous, always most interesting.
Thank you very much Mate. You take care, cheers.
Always interesting to watch, liked the little bit of info about Fraggle rock.
Thank you very much, glad you liked it, and the Fraggle Rock bit. PS. I remember a lot more than the 80's! Stay safe.
Lovely to see Penlee! Spent a lot of my childhood there! Do you remember Hedley? He was my grandfather. Sadly passed in 1993. Great videos Peter as always xx
Thank you very much. I'm sorry, but I never met your Grandfather Hedley, our paths never crossed. Sorry to hear that he passed in 1993. It was one of those jobs where some people you met regularly, and others, never. Thanks again and stay safe.
Once again a brilliant insight. As someone else said these videos are very calming! Its nice to relax and go back in history.
Id be very interested to know how they built the Eddystone, it looks like it wouldn't have been easy.
I remember Fraglge Rock, it was also the name given by pilots to the Isle Of man by pilots after the series :)
Thank you for your very kind words, much appreciated. If you can find an old book called "The red rocks of eddystone" by Fred Majdalany, It is brilliant for how they built the said lighthouse. My copy doesn't seem to have an isbn number and is dated 1959. Cheers and stay safe
Hello Peter, great Video again these are priceless ...did you see the ship run aground on the Wolf ? Dwarfs the Tower ...what the old Boys would have made of it 😮 Thank you From South Wales
Thank you Barrie for your kind words much appreciated. No I didn't witness any ship run aground, sorry. I was only on the Wolf just a few days, just to enable me to do the video. Cheers and stay safe.
@@PeterHalil Sorry Peter i did not explain : Ship Mazarine Grounded today 10th July image on google 👍
@@barriejones2890 Oh right, no I didn't know that. will have to google that to see, cheers Mate take care
Very interesting and calming, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you, Peter! You continue to deliver good stuff :)
Is John Ellis still with us today?
Thank you very much. I really don't know if John is still with us. Since leaving the service, the jungle drums aren't as good as they used to be in getting information. Cheers and stay safe.
@@PeterHalil Thanks, staying around and waiting for future episodes! :)
Another nice job! I noticed the feminine touch at 12:02, anybody I know? All the 'weight' tubes are always the same color green. I bet TH has a name for that shade of green.
Sorry. I don't know who she was Ha. As for the green paint, we always knew it as Trinity green. One of my PK's had his own house doors and windows done in Trinity Green, and his neighbour, who just happened to work on the railways, had similar in railway brown. Cheers and stay safe
@@PeterHalil Trinity Green! Of course, that made me smile. I know shipmates that liked grey trucks and one put a yard arm in his front yard, that's a bit much for me.
