Wonderful Video...Charming Excellent Commentary...Sweet Background Song.... Nostalgia...
My Dad was born in 1930, 94 this year. He can remember being hungry and 'make do and mend'. He said he had to put newspaper in his shoes when they wore through as they couldn't afford new shoes or to get the old ones resoled. He was determined we would never go wanting as kids, and although we weren't rich, we always had a full belly back in the 60s and 70s. I loved the pineapple cubes. They were certainly my favourite. I've really enjoyed this episode and I must say the narration was top notch and very eloquent. Thanks for sharing.
Aww, thank you so much for this amazing story about your dad! ❤️ It's incredible how much he lived through and how strong the values of his generation were. 💪 "Make do and mend" is such a powerful phrase. 💭
I'm so glad you enjoyed the episode and that my narration didn't put you to sleep! 😁 Pineapple cubes, yum! 🍍😋 They were definitely a classic back in the day. I love hearing how the video brought back those sweet memories for you.
Thanks again for watching and sharing your dad's story. It means the world to me! 😊💖
Love the old trams sammy loves finding out about historical things so know that he would love looking around here.
Thanks so much! 😊 I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Sammy sounds like such a curious and bright kiddo! ✨ I bet he'd have an absolute blast at Beamish - they've got all sorts of cool stuff for little explorers to discover. 🔍 Maybe a future history buff in the making? 😉

Aw, you're so welcome! 😊 I'm thrilled my video brought back good memories! ❤️ Beamish is such a special place, isn't it? ✨ I hope you get to revisit soon and make some new memories. 📸
Thanks so much for the like and kind wishes. 🥰 It means a lot! 🙏
what a neat little place! i love the idea of a living museum. one of the towns i grew up in had a history village with some of the original homes from the settlement. one year for extra credit for a class, i dressed up in costume and sat in one of the rooms and had a little prepared speech. the fact that people are really living in beamish is fascinating! will you go back when the 1950s portion is fully open? i love the trolley and old double decker one too. did you ride either? best to you! 🛴❤
Hey, thank you so much for watching! 😊 Beamish is totally unique, isn't it? The idea of a living museum is pretty mind-blowing 🤯 I've heard of similar places but not on this scale! And OMG, your extra credit assignment sounds like so much fun! 😂
It's not quite accurate to say people are living in Beamish, though - they're dressed up in the clothes and doing the jobs of the time periods represented there, but they don't actually live on-site. They're super passionate and knowledgeable, though! 👍
I definitely plan to go back when the 1950s town is complete! 🤩 It was still under construction when we were there. And yessss, we rode the tram and the bus! 🙌 It was like stepping back in time. Can't wait to share more about that with y'all! 😉
Thanks again for the kind words and support! ❤️
Hi guys loved this very much, we have been to the black country museum which is similar. Your commentary is fantastic as always and really brought it to life for us. Loved the shire horse a real beauty. Thank you for taking us along with you. Hope you have a great weekend Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
Hi Dave and Dawn 👋 So glad you enjoyed the Beamish video! 😁 It's always fun to hear from fellow history buffs. 🤓
The Black Country Museum sounds like a blast too! Maybe I'll have to check it out sometime. 😉
Thanks for the kind words about my commentary. I try to make it as entertaining as possible! 🤪
And yes, that shire horse was a real gem. 💎 They're such magnificent creatures. 🐴
Thanks for coming along on the journey with me! 😊 Hope you both have a fantastic weekend too! ✨
A great place we live only 30 mins away from there and go there quite often as the ticket is valid for a year, we love the fish and chips cooked in beef dripping.
Wow! Lucky you! 😊 We love that fish and chips too! 🤤 It's so crispy and delicious - definitely worth the trip! It sounds like you know Beamish inside out, any hidden gems or must-see spots you'd recommend? 🤔

@@highlandexplorer990 they have just opened the Drovers tavern its a Georgian era tavern at Pockerley Hall and the Cinema is due to open soon.

Oh wow this place looks awesome. We'd love to explore it. If we are ever in the area, I definitely want to take the kids there. I know they'd love it! Great video as always. Thoroughly enjoyed watching. Have a great week.
Hey, thank you so much for the lovely comment! 🥰 Beamish really is awesome - it's like stepping back in time! If you guys ever make it to the North East, you absolutely HAVE to go! The kids will have a blast exploring the old-fashioned shops and riding on the trams. 😊🚃 And hey, who knows, maybe you'll even run into me there! 😉 Thanks again for watching, and I hope you have an awesome week too! ✨
We loved it there when we visited. Blist Hill in Shropshire is great as well.
Aww, so glad you had a blast at Beamish! ✨ It's such a special place, isn't it? 😊 And ooooh, Blist Hill?! 😮 I've heard amazing things! Definitely adding that to the list! Thanks so much for the tip! 💖 Hope you keep having awesome adventures and finding cool places! 🙌
