Hi Steve, we are a couple studying in Germany. My boyfriend is Italian and I am Indian. We love your videos and the way you show Malta. You are simply the best, we literally wait for your videos and always watch them together. Please take care of your leg and please don’t stop posting. Sending warm wishes
Sounds great! what a lovely mix Italian two of my favourite foods ..I bet meal times are awesome in you house ...lol !! What part of italy ? & india Drop me a line if you are ever over in Malta
@@EnglishmaninMalta So excited that you replied…you don’t know how many times we jokingly spoke about going to Malta and contacting you. If this can happen truly we will be overjoyed!! We will definitely write to you when we plan to travel to Malta, if you’re ever in Heidelberg, Germany reach out :) btw he’s from Lucca in toscana and I’m from Kolkata, West Bengal :)
@@paromitaroy-ij3qe Yes I heard of both places I have been many times to toscana love it and the amazing food, I had a friend in Heideberg been a few times, Yes please let me know if you are over, if you have never been..Malta is very special place with plenty going on !!
Love your Videos Steve. We lived in Malta for 2 years as husband was in the army 1968 to 1970. Been back many times. You have to do what you think is right. When your leg gets better you might think different. Get well soon Steve 🙋🏴
Hi Pierre. Those were nice words. Hope Steve takes up your offer and maybe one day you can do a couple of trekking or even "camping" blogs together 🤔 😊. Cheers 👍🇲🇹❤️🇪🇺
Get well soon Steve. We love your videos. We are Maltese but sometimes you discover things in Malta that even we didn't know about them. Thanks to you Steve. Take care.
GET WELL SOON STEVE 🙏. NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN 📺 😊. First of all Steve, hope the tissue test comes back 'Negative'. It is quite understandable that you feel a bit down at the moment especially if you haven't experienced the hospital environment as an 'adult patient' before. Just rest your leg for a few more days and elevate it when sitting down. Take it easy for a while. Don't forget, you're the pioneer of Malta vlogs, 🏴IN🇲🇹 , and no one and nothing can change that. Hope you decide to carry on with your UA-cam vlogs - they're raw, real and always with a bit of humour thrown in 🎥 🏆 😊. Nothing else to add because the other comments said it all - you are definitely loved, respected and appreciated 😍. It's about time you receive a request to appear on "Loven Malta" and "RTK" (or "TVM") for a UA-cam interview. You're a star mate ⭐. Take care Steve. Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ❤️ 🇪🇺
Sorry to hear of the burnout, don't leave we'll miss you! Nobody can understand the UA-cam algorithm... Just scale it back a bit and keep up what you love doing and we love watching! Try doing more collabs and find short clips to edit as shorts/tiktoks. Forget about the haters and keep up sharing your experience and what the islands offer, both good and bad as long as it is honest ❤
Hello my friend I hear what you are saying, haters never bother me it just youTube is going though a strange path at the moment, I can not understand why my videos have such bad views with all the hard work that goes into them...
Hi Steve, I had the exact same operation on my leg, yes it does feel tight for a few days but that soon goes. Keep up with the videos, I enjoy watching you wandering around places that we have visited in your own unique style 🙂
So sorry to hear about your leg Wishing you a speedy recovery My husband and I love your videos we also love watching your older videos Hoping you will still be making more videos Thank you for keeping us entertained with new dicoveries about Malta We appreciate what you have done for us 👍😁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I kept looking for more videos recently, now I know why I couldn’t find them. Steve, I wish you a quick recovery and hope you come back with more interesting videos. I look forward to seeing Malta through your hard work and dedication. Thanks Steve x
You should keep going! I like your channel. If you are bored with the content, look into the archeology in Malta. I worked in Malta and Libya for years and never took the time visit the amazing sites that exist in Malta. After Libya blew up, I came back to the U.S. and learned of all of the amazing things in Malta I never took the time to investigate. Sometimes, great content is right in front of us, but we are blind to it because we see it every day. Keep up the good work. I hope your leg gets better! If you need further medical advice, St. Phillips hospital is good. Dr. Portelli is one of the owners and was my surgeon. He did a good job removing my appendix after it burst on a British Airways flight from heathrow to Tripoli. I talked the crew into making an emergency landing in Malta due to the poor medical conditions in Libya. Dr. Portelli had an ambulance meet me at the airport and took me to the hospital. Cheers.
Hope you get well soon don't stop doing it haven't been to Malta for couple of years but love seeing it on your channel can't wait to go back keep up good work
Hi Steve please don’t give up I love watching your videos I don’t remember much about Malta I’ve been in Australia for over 50 years never been back to Malta it’s nice to see all the beautiful places you show us thanks Steve take care hope you’re back on your feet soon to make more videos lots of love 🥰 Gina
Sorry to hear about your leg got to keep positive plenty of rest and tlc.Will miss you and your great videos if you decide to call it a day your health and well being must be your first thought. Keep smiling you cheered my dull british winter up keep well all the best Steve and thanks.👍
Steve noooooooooooooooo don't stop doing the videos. They are Great Amazing very Enjoyable to watch with you and your Fun humour. We all love ❤️ the things you show us around Beautiful Malta. Hope your leg gets better mate take care .But please think about not quitting the channel Steve it's one of the best Things on UA-cam Cheers mate 👍 👌
Hey Thank you Paul but looking at the views you might be the onlu person think that ?? I noticed from last year with the low view count and reduce in revenue its hard to get out and do anything ?
sending love steve, i love your videos, i still watch all of them, and somtimes i re watch old ones. i hope the leg improves hun, sending healing hugs xxxxx
Steve, we enjoy your videos no matter what the subject. We watch them because you’re in them and you care about sharing your love for Malta and your wanting to help others learn and enjoy seeing someone be happy. Rest as much as you need to, and when you’re ready, share more videos on anything you find interesting.
Take it easy Steve. I love all of your walking vids and I feel your camera work has improved to a high standard which does not feel rushed. You are a genuine person that has brought to me a feeling for Malta and how you live there. I wish my health would allow me to return soon. I have revisited Malta only once for 3 weeks in 2016 since I came to Australia as a child. As for your health I wish you the best . Like you I had rarely been in hospitals until my mid 60s since then dozens of times in hospitals, I am 73 now. If you could do the occasional vid once or twice a month it might rekindle your enthusiasm. Best of luck ! Charles Farrugia
Get better soon Steve. Try not to be too critical as the quality of your videos coupled with your genuine personality makes them always a brilliant watch. I watch a lot of channels when I have time on a variety of topics and yours is up there for sure. I guess subscribers have lots going on in their lives too, so to a certain degree your audience ebbs and flows for that reason. I will always keep watching as long as you produce them and when over there often visited places that you've showcased over the years such as the walk from Marsacala via St Thomas Bay to Marsaxlokk. Also that one in that rural area inland from St Julians where when I did it the heavans suddenly opened and the roads turned into a small boating lake. I haven't watched in a few weeks as my timeshare which was leased within the Intercontinental Hotel (by another company) has announced is coming to an end later this year, so been feeling very sad about that as visited the island every year for many years. However am determined to still come back and visit the island regularly but stay elsewhere instead. I rermember you walking about Sliema with your mask on at the height of the pandemic. It brought in the sunshine in whilst in lockdown in the UK. So whatever you choose to do with the channel whether it's only a few a year I will still always watch so hope you don't give up. All the very best to you. Cheers Douglas
Thank you for all the points you raised, I really am not sure about UA-cam Its seems I am quite popular but with low views, and definitely my revenues from youtube gone down quite a lot since I Had problems with the channel last year, Many UA-camrs complaints are same as mine unsubscribing, cuting revenue, de monetising videos, Blocking comments, scam copyright music claims etc ...on & on !!
Thanks for being so open, I've seen your videos a few times and I like the down to earth nature of them and your love of the island. It seems like you just need a rest, give yourself a break and you'll may find that after a while you'll be inspired to get back to making the videos for the reasons that you started them in the first place.
Hi i really enjoy your videos so much and the videos you produce are excellent. The channel you have on You Tube is excellent. I really enjoy you showing us beautiful Malta. I am so glad to hear that the leg is getting better. Please don't quit You Tube as you make me and many other viewers so happy with your videos. The content is so awesome and you really come across well. Thank you for making this video and I enjoyed it.
Hi Steve, Glad to see you are on the mend. It's great to hear your voice. We love to see your videos. It makes us feel that we are in Malta a little bit ❤
I wish you all the very best on your recovery Steve , just take a break don't be hard on yourself Steve if you take a break it may give you a new look on things don't pressure yourself I think you just have more important things atm which can sometimes take away from the usual passion I hope I make sense .❤
Hi Steve ,🖐good recovery 🕊🕊🕊🕊💃and you may have to take the time it takes to get better ,🕊🕊🕊🕊don't worry ,😇everyone loves your videos 😊so enjoy the time off..from Copenhagen DK 🇩🇰
Hi Steve, I'm so glad that you're on the mend ❤. My wife and I have followed yiu for many years, and your channel has helped us a lot, from a much richer understanding of Malta to getting through the dark days of COVID. I fully understand if you feel the need to step back, but you would be sorely missed! Best wishes and keep smiling, Ged x
Hi Steve! Hope you’re on the mend mate. It’ll take time but you’ll be back and feeling normal soon. You’re just burning out a bit, it happens to most of us, sit back and reflect what you truly enjoy and go on with it. I’ve enjoyed ALL your videos especially the nature and history videos. I’m in America and will be in Malta in April. Cheers mate!
You take it easy like the inglesi. Ill be over soon and we'll go an have a cisk and a bloody good laugh. Were not here long enough not too. All the best for me and the reet and everyone who knows you in rabat. PROSIT STEVE.
Steve, Nice to hear that you are on the mend and please don't give up doing what you obviously enjoy doing. My wife and I have watched your channel for the past 5 years and never found them boring. We first visited Malta in 1999 and stayed there every year right up to when they demolished the Fortina Hotel in 2018. Sadly that put us off returning due to the attitude of the 'Zammit-Tabona's, owners of the Hotel who openly said they wanted rid of the 'Brits' and to take the island more upmarket by bringing in a more affluent class of people, that coupled with a rise in the numbers of Putin's mates (loud, obnoxious and self-entitled people) put and end to us returning. You Video's have enable us to have a 'Virtual' tour of Malta and see how it has changed each year and we are now considering returning next year.
Sadly I have seen that alot and heard it from a friend of mine in thailand which is over run with russians, many hotels in Malta are in a made rush to put up 5 star deluxe hotels, malta has turned partly into a money grabbing island, drop me alone if you are over would be nice to hear your storyline
@@EnglishmaninMalta We certainly will look you up if we get over next year. Thanks for the fireworks this morning, I watched it over breakfast just after you posted the footage from hal lija. Those are one of my lasting memories of Malta as we went to the lija festa the 1st time we visited Malta in 1999. I think the british HSE would have had a heart attack if they had been there back then :)
Greetings from Estonia.We all getting in in this world to the point when feeling totally burnout and running against the wall.That s ok.About youtube numbers absolutely agree with you it s a mystery. Hope you find motivation back to do videos.For example your old video made us wanna visit zion bar in st thomas bay,back in malta next week and planning to go there.Get well soon and all the best 😊👍
Wish you a great holiday and safe trip, Zion bar was building a BBQ area Must go back see if its finished Great vibe and was also great place in the old days
Hi Steve nice to hear you again, hope you feel better soon and get good results back on your leg. Please don’t give up your UA-cam videos we love watching them it so lovely to see parts of Malta we have not been to, quite a lot of times I go back to watching them again and again it will be a shame if you give up 😢 so many people will miss you like we do the Sunday live take care hope to see more new videos x x
I was in Malta at Christmas and your videos really helped me understand and find places that otherwise I wouldn’t have been a massive thanks and hope you get well soon
Hope you get better soon we love your videos and don’t watch tv too depressing, so go for walks with you instead or rides too, so nice to see the places you go too, as we can’t get there any more but remember when we see them as you explain so well and new places we never got to, take care all the best M and G x
Love watching your videos. I only don't watch them when I'm lucky enough to be there. Love going back and watch your old videos. Hope you don't stop Steve. Hope your results come back all good and you heal soon. Have a little break though if you need to. We all just need to keep sharing your videos.
Please consider doing a cooking collaboration with ‘Carmen the Maltese’ it would be hilarious having her watch and comment and critique your Englishman in Malta version of the traditional dishes you cook. You would get heaps of coverage and loads of new subscribers worldwide from the exposure you would get! Many of the comments from your Maltese viewers would be reflected in her Maltese mannerisms and would be insanely funny!
‘Carmen the Maltese’ is a character based on a traditional Australian based middle aged migrant who produces comedic skits commenting on westerners, in particular her grand daughter Debora, who she regularly picks on for straying from exact Maltese customs. ua-cam.com/video/HNghwizyFAM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared Many of the comments you get from the Maltese reflect her values and methods. The two of you doing a cooking segment would be hilarious!. There is a library of her work on U Tube
Hi Steve How about doing specific history storeys , as you know Malta has so much history ! I was blown away by finding the war memorial at argotti botanic gardens showing Australian soldiers were buried in Malta , so far away from home,never to return in the war time! So sad. The Roman influence in Malta , it might bring new viewers to your channels ! I love watching your posts and I would be one to miss you if you ever stopped! Get fit soon! Kevin Moore
We hope your leg heals soon Steve and rest your leg. We love watching you and your videos. Please don't stop. You might just need some rest. Get better soon. Charlie and Gracie from. down under.
Hey Charlie & Gracie you might have a point next week we see how the stitches come out, I really not sure about all the hassle I get from youTube if its worth it !
Pleased you are getting your leg sorted. 👍 I have no clue what the secret of UA-cam is.? But i enjoy what you do, all your videos, i find them informative a touch of humor, great scenery etc etc. Take a little break and hopefully you will get inspired to video again, especially when it cools a little. Anyway take care Steve. 😊🇲🇹👍
Im a maltese person and i love your vids beacuase most people doesn’t realy know about this country,and you give them information and beautiful history places in here malta or beautiful places here in malta. Get well soon and dont worry if you will rest for a bit we will still be waiting for you.
Glad your leg is healing and that the cancer is benign. The pulling you are feeling is probably the stitches. I had something fairly large removed years ago, an eye shaped piece of skin removed (and they can also remove tissue inside). After they just stitched the edges together and, for a long time, I had a sort of dent in my upper arm. Later, the skin stretched and the scar looked smaller. But that "pulling" was an irritant for a long while. You'll see when you take the bandage off; it's kind of fascinating to watch it heal and the scar will give you a good story. I was asked so much about my scar that I started to laughingly tell people I was in a knife fight in New Orleans, lol. Stay well, please. Btw, life happened to me and I stopped watching anything for a while. But, I'm back and will be watching your videos again, if you decide to continue. I respect whatever decision you make. But, if not, will you be able to leave your videos up? I would like to re-watch them. I enjoy your sense of humor and love seeing Malta with you. Thank you for all of that, Steve.
Good to see you so positive in difficult times. For me, what makes a good You-Tube video is audience engagement. This you generally do very well, the only exception being during live streams where you often break-off mid-sentence to respond to comments as they pop-up, leaving those of us who prefer just to watch feeling somewhat undermined. This aside, your videos are always interesting, informative and engaging. Good luck, whatever you decide.
Respect northernblue1093 I would say that is not Steve so much but in general being Live video and making sure the broadcaster(Steve) accommodates enough viewing folk who are chatting in the stream. Also, there could be someone in chat saying, Steve, is not reading chat enough! For me it is part n' parcel of Independent Live Streaming Easy
Thank you for your point of view...But I thought the idea of live stream is to respond to people that take the time to comment, it works in reverse when people complain I missed there comment ?
Always find your channel interesting, i have been to malta six times on holiday your videos give me the chance to see things i havent seen yet also i found the maltese people very friendly and helpful, would miss your channel lots if you stopped videos sometimes having a little break will do good and renew your energy, hope leg heals nicely. Best wishes and thanks for your hard work making videos.
Hi Steve, get better soon! Keep your right leg elevated on the sofa so that it does not swell up; that is the reason you are feeling tightness in the leg. And until the wound heals and the stitches are out you should only walk short distances. Skin cancer when caught early is curable; it commonly affects people with fair skin when constantly exposed to sunlight. So, Cover up!!
Hey Nicholas, in fact I had to take of the bandage yesterday my foot got so big !!! Looks ok this morning , Thank you for your concern hopefully the results come back ok 👍
Glad to hear the 'op' went well and fingers crossed for a positive result. Rest up over the next few weeks and give yourself time to recover. I've known Malta, and more specifically Gozo since 1976, although I've not been back since 2008. As a regular I've really enjoyed your videos but in answer to your question I don't know the answer. However, maybe you could find a thread to run through the videos. Something like historical details and changes, local people and their views or local cuisine just something that captures the essence of the islands. Look after yourself and know that many enjoy your weekly videos.
Thank you Caroline for the info, I noticed My views slowing going down from last year, maybe just a channel gets stale like people are always looking for new and lots of drama in life !!
@@EnglishmaninMalta I truly feel in this age of so much greed and entitlement a gentle 'constant' is probably what a lot of us desire. A slowing down and a taking notice before it all just disappears before our eyes. To my mind your videos enable viewers the opportunity to observe the Maltese Islands in this gentle manner. Long may it continue.
It's been a couple of years since I watched your videos religiously, but I'm back again and the reason is the same - I plan to take the family on a holiday again to Malta. And your videos are excellent to find the real Malta. I hope everything works out for you Steve, as you come across as a genuine guy!
Welcome back! Hope you are enjoying them..Yes I try and show you something a little differant, and sometimes someting the norm what tourists do, so maybe you know what to expect in Malta
It's been fascinating, you have evolved into a very talented camera man, with relaxed easy style of presenting.. amazing .. you had a Maltese accent which has turned to a brummy. Very amusing mate.. pleased you alright..
Of course lol😅, fruit & veg and plenty of water every day. Good diet saves you mate.. its all true. Anyway,takecare. All the walking is very good.. I'll keep watching anyway cheers
Oh Steve, sorry to hear you have been through this, your videos are fab! amusing! Maybe you just need a break! You put a lot of effort, time, and expense! Keep us updated! Take care!
Hey Steve hope the surgery heals quickly and you dont have to return for them to have another go at it. One of the reasons it fells like its pulling is that they may have had to cut deep to get to the tentacle like roots that are deep and they may have put a few internal stitches to draw the wound together and then put the majority of the stitches over the top to close it. As I said before I have had many of these cut out from my arms, legs, back and head etc and some have been very deep incisions. Dont put to much strain on your leg as the stitches my stretch and that will leave you with a bad looking scar. Anyway keep going with your great channel mate because there are a lot of us that really appreciate what you do, dont get disheartened by the people that want to criticize you its easier if you give them the flick off your channel. Get well and hope to see you on your next post, cheers.
Morning Steve , please try and carry on , I haven't been using my tablet very much lately , it was a shock when I turned it on this morning and watched you talking about your operation , sending you my very best wishes , rest your leg and get better very soon . Looking forward to seeing you getting lost in gorgeous Malta .
Don't give up the videos Steve. Learned so much about Malta watching them and I find them really interesting and it was a pleasure meeting you last year. Always look out for you when I'm over . I've had cancer as well so can sympathise with your health issues and wish you a speedy recovery. Ignore the haters and keep up the good work you doing promoting the beautiful island ❤❤
Where did we meet ? Haters never bother me ..in fact I dont get a lot now, I just noticed my views are well down from last year and go down every video, Thats why I am thinking if it worth mading them ? give me a short if you are over
@EnglishmaninMalta I'm in the db san Antonio hotel video with you. Back again in November as having to leave some time between visits because of the 90 day rule. Look after yourself.
Hey Steve, we’re still here for you. We will always love your videos ❤. Rest up as long as you need to, I’m sure you’ll be ok 💕Best wishes from Mick and me , Steve ❤️❤️❤️
I miss Malta soooo much and the most depressing thing is leaving and looking back at this beautiful island as it drifts away through the airplane window 😒 Back to red brick land Liverpool, socks, carpets and rain. Through your lens, narration and gentle helpful spirit with great enthusiasm we all get to share our love for Malta again, again and again... It never stops. Now don't go A over T on this brother as my 87 year young Mother is missing you and the island. YT is causing a lot of problems for most content providers with a lot of peoples time n' effort going to waste. Also, I'd like to mention that some folk watch on their Smart TV and probably do not know how to thumb up a video or what that even means. That intro theme music is ace and catchy.. It's my Island in the Suunnnnn.. 🎶 Get well soon, Steve Thank you very much for all your work and patience
Thank you for the comment Yes I think many of my subscribers watch Tv maybe thats why views are so low maybe there is a disconnect between smart TV and UA-cam ?
@@EnglishmaninMalta Yes, In my mothers case she cannot thumbs up as she is not signed in to UA-cam and is probably not sure how that all works so I will sort that out for her but she loves watching you n' your videos of Malta. Thanks Steve 👍

Hi Mary , how are you ? . Sorry to hear that hubby's health still not the best. Hope he gets a bit better and you take good care love 🤗. It seems that we have to cheer up our Steve a bit as he sounds a bit down the dumps at the moment. Like you, during Covid I always looked forward to Steve's vlogs to cheer myself up. This country could be very isolating at best of times let alone during Covid. He truely deserves an International Award for his services to his international UA-cam community 🏆 🌎. . BFN Mary ❤, all the best & God bless . Greetings from PERTH WA . John oxo.

Hope everything works out well with your leg mate. Love the channel and hope you continue with what you're doing and promoting Malta and the Maltese people. Unfortunately I will never visit Malta again due to illness but like to keep updated through your channel. Well worth the small amount I pay to be a patreon.maybe if your watchers knew how little it costs to become a patreon, more people may sign up
Thank you for the work you've done with these videos. I first found your videos during the COVID lockdowns, and my parents and I would watch as soon as they would come on. My parents left Malta in the 50's when they were young, and my mother would say that she's seen more of Malta on your videos than when she lived there. Whatever you decide to do, I just want you to know that we appreciate what you've done.
Steve all the best.i wish you a speedy recovery and be careful of the sun in Malta. Steve take it easy mate glad to see you again and hope that you be up and running soon so we can see your video again soon.
I/we enjoy watching your videos - we’ve family over in Malta & it’s nice to see the familiar areas. I’d research into which are the more popular tourist areas & document them more frequently, but most importantly enjoy what you’re doing- you’re fortunate enough to be in a tourist spot. Keep plodding on & more importantly get your leg sorted
I understand what you are saying and infact I do many variations of video to please everyone but just seems my videos are going backwards Thank you for the support my friend
Hi Steve! It's some years that I follow you. Not really regularly, but when I prepare for one of my trip to malta I watch the videos about the places I am planning to visit. I can tell you, You are great. I undestend the strugle behind the making of the videos, and I guess if it is not fun for You it will not be fun for us. But I still hope You will continue. The scucess on UA-cam? Is it realy important? Your appeal is in the niche contents you are offering us. Doing Your thing will maybe not atract many folovers/likest/tumbs but as long as You enjoj it is not that important.On the other hand, not many people would hike in a place where nobady can see and admire them. I wish You lots and lots of helth and a ton of fun. Tanja
You have got a good youtube channel Steve don't give up, i fell over in Thailand 2 big cuts on my arm and a cracked rib, next month back to the hospital fo my final assessment on my tongue, all part of getting old Steve keep calm and carry on as they say.👍
Hey LCT sorry to hear that my friend, Just feel I am not getting the views I deserve And see many other bad ones gatting so many, I enjoy getting out and about so youtube does that for me ! So still not sure what to do,
Get well soon! Keep UA-cam!! Love your videos so much- you were the first UA-camr that really showed Malta and it’s beauty and I was so grateful to see the beautiful country through them.
Thank you so much Annie xx Thank you for the support, Oh Yes the good old days !! now there are loads of them Still englishman the greatest ...lol 😂 did you stop doing videos ? I watched a few I gave you thumbs up but comments, Who I could a few things you can do ? lol 😁
Hope your legs heals well Steve, it's just a matter of letting it improve at its own pace. As for the videos, you have to enjoy what you are doing, if it's a slog or chore then, and you don't need the hassle then take a rest and see how it goes. I have noticed that popular videos tend to be shorter 8-10 minutes, so it might be worth looking at that . Whatever you decide to do, rest assured that there are a lot of "sensible" people who have enjoyed them. :)
We hope you feel better soon Steve. You were our inspiration before we first visited Malta. Your videos were so informative and helpful , and we enjoyed your easy going manner in the way you put them over to everyone. You are just as much part of Malta like the telephone and post boxes. Not forgetting La of course 😁❤
@@EnglishmaninMalta Just do what you like when you like. Alex in Malta has a lot of subscribers as he covers many current issues which interests young people relocating to Malta etc. He also has a hip lifestyle that appeals to the younger audience. You appeal to a different demographic so don’t worry about figures .
Hope you feel better soon, I will Miss Your Channel a lot ,just take it easy , Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. Take Care Angela England 😂
Hi Steve, sounds like your "get up and go, has got up and went". I'm sure you will be back on your feet soon, no pun intended, just carry on with what you do Steve because you do it well. Be yourself Steve, that's why we keep watching you. All the best, 🍷
Wishing you a speedy recovery! 67… wow Maltese life suits you well! I had been unsubscribed from your channel so I thought you had stopped vlogging…. I absolutely love this channel you show everyone the real Malta, the side the tourist doesn’t see! I am heading out to see my best friend on Saturday, I can’t wait to get back!! I live for Malta., I do hope you keep up with this channel, step back a bit if it helps whilst you have a reat, your viewers will still be watching!! Xx
I had noticed that the views are down from last year, sadly UA-cam seems to be unsubscribing people that do not view regular not sure why !! welcome back
@@EnglishmaninMalta if I watch on the telly I’m not signed in that’s why I was dropped I think. I’m heading out to Malta on Saturday yippppeeee🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹
@@EnglishmaninMalta you will feel a bit out of sorts after your surgery fiasco amd worry over results etc, totally understandable. You need to rest, take a break and come back when you feel better. Surgery is traumatic on the body no matter how great or small the procedure is
I wish you a swift recovery. I love your channel and will watch your videos more than once but know my own viewing went down as covid restrictions lifted. I work from home 3 days a week and will put your older videos on in the background so I’m not sitting in silence. I love the little glimpse of Malta you give me until I can get back out there.
get well soon look forward to some new videos but take your time and relax and hope to see you when we come over in october for a cuppa and a chat look after yourself
I had the same operation on my leg/shin twice for Basel Cell .The pulling and tightening is the stitches and healing , I had the same feeling in my leg and it went after the stitches were removed ,, perfectly normal .Best regards
Look after yourself first steve,u'll come to the right decision over your channel,iv been watching you for a few years now and can honestly say iv enjoyed every video u'v done( even the one at the church in floriana that went on ages😂),and the foodie channel is epic iv not seen you dislike one thing yet😂,you take us on some amazing walks even going a over t on some of them t.c😊😊 ❤❤
How boring people are!!!. why do they hate your videos ?... they must be jealous... i always enjoy watching your interesting videos. You are such a genuine person. Also your sense of humour is great. We encourage you to keep showing us places in malta which sometimes i send to family abroad. Get well soon. Courage, I'm sure all will go well. Lookin forward to more enjoyable videos and i mean it.
Hey Pippo, nice to hear from you, not sure people hate my videos In fact I get many complimentary comments like yours, Just seems from last year my views are going down so much, and many problems with the UA-cam platform
Steve l know its been some time since I sent you a comment but that doesn't mean that l am not watching your videos. It s just that when l watch them on television l will not be able to comment. As for your thinking about quitting quitting u tube l ask you to think it over. Think about those thousands that follow your videos.l am sure they will be very disappointed. As for your leg l hope that you will receive a good result. The older we grow more ailments we have in our health but I assure you that here in Malta there Are many good doctors and they make miracles.l have had already two operations a😢nd they were both successful. Trust your doctors and l am sure everything will be fine. Good luck Steve and go on giving us those beautiful videos so we can enjoy watching them Bye Steve till next time ❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Hopefully, you won't have any more trouble with your leg. I'm also hoping you decide to keep this channel going.Sorry that I can't think of anything that would increase the viewing figures- apart from being more controversial, which would -as you've say - attract the wrong people to this friendly channel. All the best.
Yes, the wound feels very strange as it knits back together. I had major suffers a couple of years back and had it in my head, the wound had been stapled. I could even feels them pinching. After three weeks I checked in with the nurse to have them removed and it turned out the incision had been glued! 😩
Hi Steve, we are a couple studying in Germany. My boyfriend is Italian and I am Indian. We love your videos and the way you show Malta. You are simply the best, we literally wait for your videos and always watch them together. Please take care of your leg and please don’t stop posting. Sending warm wishes
Sounds great! what a lovely mix Italian two of my favourite foods ..I bet meal times are awesome in you house ...lol !! What part of italy ? & india Drop me a line if you are ever over in Malta
@@EnglishmaninMalta So excited that you replied…you don’t know how many times we jokingly spoke about going to Malta and contacting you. If this can happen truly we will be overjoyed!! We will definitely write to you when we plan to travel to Malta, if you’re ever in Heidelberg, Germany reach out :) btw he’s from Lucca in toscana and I’m from Kolkata, West Bengal :)
@@paromitaroy-ij3qe Yes I heard of both places I have been many times to toscana love it and the amazing food, I had a friend in Heideberg been a few times, Yes please let me know if you are over, if you have never been..Malta is very special place with plenty going on !!
Hope you get well soon, you're videos kept me going when I lost my husband.We had happy times in Malta.So thanks and look after yourself.❤️xx
Yes I understand how your feeling its nice to have lovely memories xx
Steve all the best, things will get better, keep fighting, don't forget the joy you give to many people.
I did used to think that, but seeing my views go down does not inspire me much
Love your Videos Steve. We lived in Malta for 2 years as husband was in the army 1968 to 1970. Been back many times. You have to do what you think is right. When your leg gets better you might think different. Get well soon Steve 🙋🏴
Hey June lovely to hear from you, UA-cam is difficult at the moment
Know the feeling my friend, sometimes happens to me too. Hope you get well soon my friend ❤.
Thank you Pierre for the support
Steve, we love your channel, and we love you, take a small break, then you start again, it’s also the sun. If you need anything just ask.
Hi Pierre. Those were nice words. Hope Steve takes up your offer and maybe one day you can do a couple of trekking or even "camping" blogs together 🤔 😊.
Cheers 👍🇲🇹❤️🇪🇺
@@johnabela932He is a gentleman and without asking anything in return, he always helped me out. I would be up for it 100%
Thank you always for lovly comments
Get well soon Steve. We love your videos. We are Maltese but sometimes you discover things in Malta that even we didn't know about them. Thanks to you Steve. Take care.
hey Jeanette, Yes there are mant surprises for a small island
@@EnglishmaninMalta take care Steve
GET WELL SOON STEVE 🙏. NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN 📺 😊.
First of all Steve, hope the tissue test comes back 'Negative'. It is quite understandable that you feel a bit down at the moment especially if you haven't experienced the hospital environment as an 'adult patient' before. Just rest your leg for a few more days and elevate it when sitting down. Take it easy for a while.
Don't forget, you're the pioneer of Malta vlogs, 🏴IN🇲🇹 , and no one and nothing can change that. Hope you decide to carry on with your UA-cam vlogs - they're raw, real and always with a bit of humour thrown in 🎥 🏆 😊. Nothing else to add because the other comments said it all - you are definitely loved, respected and appreciated 😍.
It's about time you receive a request to appear on "Loven Malta" and "RTK" (or "TVM") for a UA-cam interview. You're a star mate ⭐.
Take care Steve.
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ❤️ 🇪🇺
Sorry to hear of the burnout, don't leave we'll miss you! Nobody can understand the UA-cam algorithm... Just scale it back a bit and keep up what you love doing and we love watching! Try doing more collabs and find short clips to edit as shorts/tiktoks. Forget about the haters and keep up sharing your experience and what the islands offer, both good and bad as long as it is honest ❤
Hello my friend I hear what you are saying, haters never bother me it just youTube is going though a strange path at the moment, I can not understand why my videos have such bad views with all the hard work that goes into them...
Hi Steve, I had the exact same operation on my leg, yes it does feel tight for a few days but that soon goes. Keep up with the videos, I enjoy watching you wandering around places that we have visited in your own unique style 🙂
Thanks, Stephen Nice to hear from you and your support
So sorry to hear about your leg
Wishing you a speedy recovery
My husband and I love your videos we also love watching your older videos
Hoping you will still be making more videos
Thank you for keeping us entertained with new dicoveries about Malta
We appreciate what you have done for us 👍😁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Mary was so lovely to see your comment and thank you for your lovely comments
I kept looking for more videos recently, now I know why I couldn’t find them. Steve, I wish you a quick recovery and hope you come back with more interesting videos. I look forward to seeing Malta through your hard work and dedication. Thanks Steve x
Heu Bernadette nice to hear from you, this problem didn't help, But UA-cam is getting difficult to enjoy making videos
You should keep going! I like your channel. If you are bored with the content, look into the archeology in Malta. I worked in Malta and Libya for years and never took the time visit the amazing sites that exist in Malta. After Libya blew up, I came back to the U.S. and learned of all of the amazing things in Malta I never took the time to investigate. Sometimes, great content is right in front of us, but we are blind to it because we see it every day. Keep up the good work. I hope your leg gets better! If you need further medical advice, St. Phillips hospital is good. Dr. Portelli is one of the owners and was my surgeon. He did a good job removing my appendix after it burst on a British Airways flight from heathrow to Tripoli. I talked the crew into making an emergency landing in Malta due to the poor medical conditions in Libya. Dr. Portelli had an ambulance meet me at the airport and took me to the hospital. Cheers.
Hope you get well soon don't stop doing it haven't been to Malta for couple of years but love seeing it on your channel can't wait to go back keep up good work
Nice to hear from you Martin, Thank you for the comment my friend
Hi Steve please don’t give up I love watching your videos I don’t remember much about Malta I’ve been in Australia for over 50 years never been back to Malta it’s nice to see all the beautiful places you show us thanks Steve take care hope you’re back on your feet soon to make more videos lots of love 🥰 Gina
Thanks for that...why not come back again one day .....its changed so much
Sorry to hear about your leg got to keep positive plenty of rest and tlc.Will miss you and your great videos if you decide to call it a day your health and well being must be your first thought. Keep smiling you cheered my dull british winter up keep well all the best Steve and thanks.👍
Hey David...always nice to see your comments not that inspiring to keep going when I see a drop from last year to my views
Yes it must be frustrating for you take the time out to think about your future Steve what ever decision you make it's yours to make mate. 👍
You will make the right decision to suit you Steve. 👍
Steve noooooooooooooooo don't stop doing the videos. They are Great Amazing very Enjoyable to watch with you and your Fun humour. We all love ❤️ the things you show us around Beautiful Malta. Hope your leg gets better mate take care .But please think about not quitting the channel Steve it's one of the best Things on UA-cam Cheers mate 👍 👌
Hey Thank you Paul but looking at the views you might be the onlu person think that ?? I noticed from last year with the low view count and reduce in revenue its hard to get out and do anything ?
Get well soon Steve and please don't give up UA-cam. Ur the only one that hasn't a maltese accent, think about ur veiewers. Cheers
Hey Jessica, Thank you for commenting and your support, many say I have lol 😂 take care..still thinking about the youTube situation
sending love steve, i love your videos, i still watch all of them, and somtimes i re watch old ones. i hope the leg improves hun, sending healing hugs xxxxx
Hey Hayley, Thank you for your lovely comments
Steve, we enjoy your videos no matter what the subject. We watch them because you’re in them and you care about sharing your love for Malta and your wanting to help others learn and enjoy seeing someone be happy. Rest as much as you need to, and when you’re ready, share more videos on anything you find interesting.
Awesome, thank you Richard
Get well soon Steve and speedy recovery. Please keep up the videos where health allows, you're my Malta fix. Good videos are your videos!
I am doing a few when I feel like it !! maybe more in winter
Take it easy Steve. I love all of your walking vids and I feel your camera work has improved to a high standard which does not feel rushed. You are a genuine person that has brought to me a feeling for Malta and how you live there. I wish my health would allow me to return soon. I have revisited Malta only once for 3 weeks in 2016 since I came to Australia as a child. As for your health I wish you the best . Like you I had rarely been in hospitals until my mid 60s since then dozens of times in hospitals, I am 73 now. If you could do the occasional vid once or twice a month it might rekindle your enthusiasm. Best of luck ! Charles Farrugia
Thank you Charles I do my best !!
Get better soon Steve. Try not to be too critical as the quality of your videos coupled with your genuine personality makes them always a brilliant watch. I watch a lot of channels when I have time on a variety of topics and yours is up there for sure. I guess subscribers have lots going on in their lives too, so to a certain degree your audience ebbs and flows for that reason. I will always keep watching as long as you produce them and when over there often visited places that you've showcased over the years such as the walk from Marsacala via St Thomas Bay to Marsaxlokk. Also that one in that rural area inland from St Julians where when I did it the heavans suddenly opened and the roads turned into a small boating lake.
I haven't watched in a few weeks as my timeshare which was leased within the Intercontinental Hotel (by another company) has announced is coming to an end later this year, so been feeling very sad about that as visited the island every year for many years. However am determined to still come back and visit the island regularly but stay elsewhere instead. I rermember you walking about Sliema with your mask on at the height of the pandemic. It brought in the sunshine in whilst in lockdown in the UK. So whatever you choose to do with the channel whether it's only a few a year I will still always watch so hope you don't give up. All the very best to you. Cheers Douglas
Thank you for all the points you raised, I really am not sure about UA-cam Its seems I am quite popular but with low views, and definitely my revenues from youtube gone down quite a lot since I Had problems with the channel last year, Many UA-camrs complaints are same as mine unsubscribing, cuting revenue, de monetising videos, Blocking comments, scam copyright music claims etc ...on & on !!
Thanks for being so open, I've seen your videos a few times and I like the down to earth nature of them and your love of the island. It seems like you just need a rest, give yourself a break and you'll may find that after a while you'll be inspired to get back to making the videos for the reasons that you started them in the first place.
Thank you so much for your comments Rita
Hi i really enjoy your videos so much and the videos you produce are excellent. The channel you have on You Tube is excellent. I really enjoy you showing us beautiful Malta. I am so glad to hear that the leg is getting better. Please don't quit You Tube as you make me and many other viewers so happy with your videos. The content is so awesome and you really come across well. Thank you for making this video and I enjoyed it.
Thank you always Bobby for such lovely videos
Hi Steve,
Glad to see you are on the mend.
It's great to hear your voice. We love to see your videos. It makes us feel that we are in Malta a little bit ❤
Hey Paul, Thank you for you comments, please you enjoyed my videos
I will miss your videos for sure , but you have to do whatever is best for you. Thanks and wish you good health .
Thank you my friend for your support
I wish you all the very best on your recovery Steve , just take a break don't be hard on yourself Steve if you take a break it may give you a new look on things don't pressure yourself I think you just have more important things atm which can sometimes take away from the usual passion I hope I make sense .❤
Hello My friend thanks for th support, UA-cam is getting a difficult place to work ..views are well down from last year !!
Bare with for now I'm sure the sun be shining again Steve just get well for now🤩

Hi Steve ,🖐good recovery 🕊🕊🕊🕊💃and you may have to take the time it takes to get better ,🕊🕊🕊🕊don't worry ,😇everyone loves your videos 😊so enjoy the time off..from Copenhagen DK 🇩🇰
Thanks 👍 Mary
Hi Steve, I'm so glad that you're on the mend ❤. My wife and I have followed yiu for many years, and your channel has helped us a lot, from a much richer understanding of Malta to getting through the dark days of COVID. I fully understand if you feel the need to step back, but you would be sorely missed! Best wishes and keep smiling, Ged x
Wow, thank you, UA-cam is very hard at the moment lots of censorship on many videos
Prayers and best wishes for your complete recovery Steve.
Thank you for the support
Hi Steve! Hope you’re on the mend mate. It’ll take time but you’ll be back and feeling normal soon. You’re just burning out a bit, it happens to most of us, sit back and reflect what you truly enjoy and go on with it. I’ve enjoyed ALL your videos especially the nature and history videos. I’m in America and will be in Malta in April. Cheers mate!
Thanks for your comment, april a lovely time to come to Malta
You take it easy like the inglesi. Ill be over soon and we'll go an have a cisk and a bloody good laugh. Were not here long enough not too. All the best for me and the reet and everyone who knows you in rabat.
PROSIT STEVE.
Alright La ....Stiches out Monday
@@EnglishmaninMaltaI'll have you in stitches pal😂!
Steve, Nice to hear that you are on the mend and please don't give up doing what you obviously enjoy doing. My wife and I have watched your channel for the past 5 years and never found them boring. We first visited Malta in 1999 and stayed there every year right up to when they demolished the Fortina Hotel in 2018. Sadly that put us off returning due to the attitude of the 'Zammit-Tabona's, owners of the Hotel who openly said they wanted rid of the 'Brits' and to take the island more upmarket by bringing in a more affluent class of people, that coupled with a rise in the numbers of Putin's mates (loud, obnoxious and self-entitled people) put and end to us returning. You Video's have enable us to have a 'Virtual' tour of Malta and see how it has changed each year and we are now considering returning next year.
Sadly I have seen that alot and heard it from a friend of mine in thailand which is over run with russians, many hotels in Malta are in a made rush to put up 5 star deluxe hotels, malta has turned partly into a money grabbing island, drop me alone if you are over would be nice to hear your storyline
@@EnglishmaninMalta We certainly will look you up if we get over next year. Thanks for the fireworks this morning, I watched it over breakfast just after you posted the footage from hal lija. Those are one of my lasting memories of Malta as we went to the lija festa the 1st time we visited Malta in 1999. I think the british HSE would have had a heart attack if they had been there back then :)
Greetings from Estonia.We all getting in in this world to the point when feeling totally burnout and running against the wall.That s ok.About youtube numbers absolutely agree with you it s a mystery. Hope you find motivation back to do videos.For example your old video made us wanna visit zion bar in st thomas bay,back in malta next week and planning to go there.Get well soon and all the best 😊👍
Wish you a great holiday and safe trip, Zion bar was building a BBQ area Must go back see if its finished Great vibe and was also great place in the old days
Hi Steve nice to hear you again, hope you feel better soon and get good results back on your leg. Please don’t give up your UA-cam videos we love watching them it so lovely to see parts of Malta we have not been to, quite a lot of times I go back to watching them again and again it will be a shame if you give up 😢 so many people will miss you like we do the Sunday live take care hope to see more new videos x x
I was in Malta at Christmas and your videos really helped me understand and find places that otherwise I wouldn’t have been a massive thanks and hope you get well soon
Glad I could help! and hope you come back again some day
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thank you Rosemary x
Hope you get better soon we love your videos and don’t watch tv too depressing, so go for walks with you instead or rides too, so nice to see the places you go too, as we can’t get there any more but remember when we see them as you explain so well and new places we never got to, take care all the best M and G x
Thank you, Mave lovely to hear from you
Love watching your videos. I only don't watch them when I'm lucky enough to be there. Love going back and watch your old videos. Hope you don't stop Steve. Hope your results come back all good and you heal soon. Have a little break though if you need to. We all just need to keep sharing your videos.
Thank you for the best wishes and support
Please consider doing a cooking collaboration with ‘Carmen the Maltese’ it would be hilarious having her watch and comment and critique your Englishman in Malta version of the traditional dishes you cook. You would get heaps of coverage and loads of new subscribers worldwide from the exposure you would get! Many of the comments from your Maltese viewers would be reflected in her Maltese mannerisms and would be insanely funny!
Hey Rosie ..not sure about her Carmen the Maltese do you know here ?
‘Carmen the Maltese’ is a character based on a traditional Australian based middle aged migrant who produces comedic skits commenting on westerners, in particular her grand daughter Debora, who she regularly picks on for straying from exact Maltese customs.
ua-cam.com/video/HNghwizyFAM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Many of the comments you get from the Maltese reflect her values and methods. The two of you doing a cooking segment would be hilarious!. There is a library of her work on
U Tube
Wishing you a speedy recovery, and I hope you reconsider your future you tube posts. If you decide to quit you will be sorely missed. Best wishes.
Thank you so much!
Hi Steve
How about doing specific history storeys , as you know Malta has so much history !
I was blown away by finding the war memorial at argotti botanic gardens showing Australian soldiers were buried in Malta , so far away from home,never to return in the war time! So sad.
The Roman influence in Malta , it might bring new viewers to your channels !
I love watching your posts and I would be one to miss you if you ever stopped!
Get fit soon!
Kevin Moore
Hey Kevin Thank you so much for the suggestions History seens to be watch less on my older videos, and I do put bits and pieces in every so often
We hope your leg heals soon Steve and rest your leg. We love watching you and your videos. Please don't stop. You might just need some rest. Get better soon. Charlie and Gracie from. down under.
Hey Charlie & Gracie you might have a point next week we see how the stitches come out, I really not sure about all the hassle I get from youTube if its worth it !
Pleased you are getting your leg sorted. 👍
I have no clue what the secret of UA-cam is.? But i enjoy what you do, all your videos, i find them informative a touch of humor, great scenery etc etc. Take a little break and hopefully you will get inspired to video again, especially when it cools a little.
Anyway take care Steve. 😊🇲🇹👍
Im a maltese person and i love your vids beacuase most people doesn’t realy know about this country,and you give them information and beautiful history places in here malta or beautiful places here in malta. Get well soon and dont worry if you will rest for a bit we will still be waiting for you.
Wow, thank you John for the support UA-cam is not easy at the moment, I will see how it goes, maybe think of some new things after the summer
@@EnglishmaninMalta
Your welcome Steve, have a well deserved break. 👍😊🇲🇹
Glad your leg is healing and that the cancer is benign. The pulling you are feeling is probably the stitches. I had something fairly large removed years ago, an eye shaped piece of skin removed (and they can also remove tissue inside). After they just stitched the edges together and, for a long time, I had a sort of dent in my upper arm. Later, the skin stretched and the scar looked smaller. But that "pulling" was an irritant for a long while. You'll see when you take the bandage off; it's kind of fascinating to watch it heal and the scar will give you a good story. I was asked so much about my scar that I started to laughingly tell people I was in a knife fight in New Orleans, lol. Stay well, please. Btw, life happened to me and I stopped watching anything for a while. But, I'm back and will be watching your videos again, if you decide to continue. I respect whatever decision you make. But, if not, will you be able to leave your videos up? I would like to re-watch them. I enjoy your sense of humor and love seeing Malta with you. Thank you for all of that, Steve.
Stitches out Monday ..and hopefully results come back OK
Good to see you so positive in difficult times. For me, what makes a good You-Tube video is audience engagement. This you generally do very well, the only exception being during live streams where you often break-off mid-sentence to respond to comments as they pop-up, leaving those of us who prefer just to watch feeling somewhat undermined. This aside, your videos are always interesting, informative and engaging. Good luck, whatever you decide.
Respect northernblue1093
I would say that is not Steve so much but in general being Live video and making sure the broadcaster(Steve) accommodates enough viewing folk who are chatting in the stream.
Also, there could be someone in chat saying, Steve, is not reading chat enough! For me it is part n' parcel of Independent Live Streaming
Easy
sorry I have no idea what you are talking about ??
Thank you for your point of view...But I thought the idea of live stream is to respond to people that take the time to comment, it works in reverse when people complain I missed there comment ?
Always find your channel interesting, i have been to malta six times on holiday your videos give me the chance to see things i havent seen yet also i found the maltese people very friendly and helpful, would miss your channel lots if you stopped videos sometimes having a little break will do good and renew your energy, hope leg heals nicely. Best wishes and thanks for your hard work making videos.
Hey Michael nice to hear from you and your lovely comments
Hi Steve, get better soon! Keep your right leg elevated on the sofa so that it does not swell up; that is the reason you are feeling tightness in the leg. And until the wound heals and the stitches are out you should only walk short distances. Skin cancer when caught early is curable; it commonly affects people with fair skin when constantly exposed to sunlight. So, Cover up!!
Hey Nicholas, in fact I had to take of the bandage yesterday my foot got so big !!! Looks ok this morning , Thank you for your concern hopefully the results come back ok 👍
Glad to hear the 'op' went well and fingers crossed for a positive result. Rest up over the next few weeks and give yourself time to recover. I've known Malta, and more specifically Gozo since 1976, although I've not been back since 2008. As a regular I've really enjoyed your videos but in answer to your question I don't know the answer. However, maybe you could find a thread to run through the videos. Something like historical details and changes, local people and their views or local cuisine just something that captures the essence of the islands. Look after yourself and know that many enjoy your weekly videos.
Thank you Caroline for the info, I noticed My views slowing going down from last year, maybe just a channel gets stale like people are always looking for new and lots of drama in life !!
@@EnglishmaninMalta I truly feel in this age of so much greed and entitlement a gentle 'constant' is probably what a lot of us desire. A slowing down and a taking notice before it all just disappears before our eyes. To my mind your videos enable viewers the opportunity to observe the Maltese Islands in this gentle manner. Long may it continue.
It's been a couple of years since I watched your videos religiously, but I'm back again and the reason is the same - I plan to take the family on a holiday again to Malta. And your videos are excellent to find the real Malta.
I hope everything works out for you Steve, as you come across as a genuine guy!
Welcome back! Hope you are enjoying them..Yes I try and show you something a little differant, and sometimes someting the norm what tourists do, so maybe you know what to expect in Malta
It's been fascinating, you have evolved into a very talented camera man, with relaxed easy style of presenting.. amazing .. you had a Maltese accent which has turned to a brummy. Very amusing mate.. pleased you alright..
Thanks! 😃 Maybr a brummie accent into a maltese one ..lol 😂
Of course lol😅, fruit & veg and plenty of water every day. Good diet saves you mate.. its all true. Anyway,takecare. All the walking is very good.. I'll keep watching anyway cheers
Oh Steve, sorry to hear you have been through this, your videos are fab! amusing! Maybe you just need a break! You put a lot of effort, time, and expense! Keep us updated! Take care!
Thank you, I will think about it In one sense youtube is good to get me out and about !!
Hey Steve hope the surgery heals quickly and you dont have to return for them to have another go at it. One of the reasons it fells like its pulling is that they may have had to cut deep to get to the tentacle like roots that are deep and they may have put a few internal stitches to draw the wound together and then put the majority of the stitches over the top to close it. As I said before I have had many of these cut out from my arms, legs, back and head etc and some have been very deep incisions. Dont put to much strain on your leg as the stitches my stretch and that will leave you with a bad looking scar. Anyway keep going with your great channel mate because there are a lot of us that really appreciate what you do, dont get disheartened by the people that want to criticize you its easier if you give them the flick off your channel. Get well and hope to see you on your next post, cheers.
wow you really been though the wars...hopefully its gets the all clear next week, And I dont get anymore
Sorry to hear about your leg. 25 degrees in London this afternoon. And, wow 67 you look great for your age. Travelling to Malta in October for 8 days.
Sounds great! Safe travels, have a great time in Malta, I am really 21 !!!.... I was just looking for sympathy
Morning Steve , please try and carry on , I haven't been using my tablet very much lately , it was a shock when I turned it on this morning and watched you talking about your operation , sending you my very best wishes , rest your leg and get better very soon .
Looking forward to seeing you getting lost in gorgeous Malta .
Thank you for the concern, I see how it goes, but I am not happy with the views on UA-cam
Don't give up the videos Steve. Learned so much about Malta watching them and I find them really interesting and it was a pleasure meeting you last year. Always look out for you when I'm over . I've had cancer as well so can sympathise with your health issues and wish you a speedy recovery. Ignore the haters and keep up the good work you doing promoting the beautiful island ❤❤
Where did we meet ? Haters never bother me ..in fact I dont get a lot now, I just noticed my views are well down from last year and go down every video, Thats why I am thinking if it worth mading them ? give me a short if you are over
@EnglishmaninMalta I'm in the db san Antonio hotel video with you. Back again in November as having to leave some time between visits because of the 90 day rule. Look after yourself.
Wishing you all the very best Marra, speedy recovery, you'll soon be better.
Thank you my friend for the super support
Hey Steve, we’re still here for you. We will always love your videos ❤. Rest up as long as you need to, I’m sure you’ll be ok 💕Best wishes from Mick and me , Steve ❤️❤️❤️
I appreciate that Katherine, I am looking forward to the beer hubby promised me next year !!
@@EnglishmaninMalta Yes, it will happen for sure Steve ❤️❤️
I miss Malta soooo much and the most depressing thing is leaving and looking back at this beautiful island as it drifts away through the airplane window 😒
Back to red brick land Liverpool, socks, carpets and rain.
Through your lens, narration and gentle helpful spirit with great enthusiasm we all get to share our love for Malta again, again and again... It never stops.
Now don't go A over T on this brother as my 87 year young Mother is missing you and the island. YT is causing a lot of problems for most content providers with a lot of peoples time n' effort going to waste.
Also, I'd like to mention that some folk watch on their Smart TV and probably do not know how to thumb up a video or what that even means.
That intro theme music is ace and catchy.. It's my Island in the Suunnnnn.. 🎶
Get well soon, Steve
Thank you very much for all your work and patience
Thank you for the comment Yes I think many of my subscribers watch Tv maybe thats why views are so low maybe there is a disconnect between smart TV and UA-cam ?
@@EnglishmaninMalta Yes, In my mothers case she cannot thumbs up as she is not signed in to UA-cam and is probably not sure how that all works so I will sort that out for her but she loves watching you n' your videos of Malta. Thanks Steve 👍
Mary 🇦🇺🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ hope and pray 🙏🏻 all goes well for you Steve, what makes a good u tube channel ,😘😘 you do your lovely smile, I learned so much about 🇲🇹 all thanks to you, been watching you for 5 years since lockdown,here in Victoria were longest in lockdown, you made my day watching your videos brings me much joy, so keep smiling 😊 😊, know what it’s like my husband health not the best, god bless you Steve,one of your many fans,💕💕for you Steve 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹. 💖💖🇲🇹💖💖👍👍👍🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Hi Mary , how are you ? . Sorry to hear that hubby's health still not the best. Hope he gets a bit better and you take good care love 🤗.
It seems that we have to cheer up our Steve a bit as he sounds a bit down the dumps at the moment. Like you, during Covid I always looked forward to Steve's vlogs to cheer myself up. This country could be very isolating at best of times let alone during Covid. He truely deserves an International Award for his services to his international UA-cam community 🏆 🌎. .
BFN Mary ❤, all the best & God bless . Greetings from PERTH WA .

@@EnglishmaninMalta it’s me Steve ,Mary 🇦🇺🙋♀️ do what makes you happy , thinking of you, keep smiling , anyway thanks for all your hard work to bring us your great videos,🙏🏻💖🌹
Hope everything works out well with your leg mate. Love the channel and hope you continue with what you're doing and promoting Malta and the Maltese people. Unfortunately I will never visit Malta again due to illness but like to keep updated through your channel. Well worth the small amount I pay to be a patreon.maybe if your watchers knew how little it costs to become a patreon, more people may sign up
Get well soon Steve. Take care.
Thank you anne xx
Thank you for the work you've done with these videos. I first found your videos during the COVID lockdowns, and my parents and I would watch as soon as they would come on. My parents left Malta in the 50's when they were young, and my mother would say that she's seen more of Malta on your videos than when she lived there. Whatever you decide to do, I just want you to know that we appreciate what you've done.
Thank you for your lovely comment George
Jeez mate take it easy and make a speedy recovery
Thank you Paul
Steve all the best.i wish you a speedy recovery and be careful of the sun in Malta. Steve take it easy mate glad to see you again and hope that you be up and running soon so we can see your video again soon.
Hey Chris , Thanks for lovely comments
I/we enjoy watching your videos - we’ve family over in Malta & it’s nice to see the familiar areas.
I’d research into which are the more popular tourist areas & document them more frequently, but most importantly enjoy what you’re doing- you’re fortunate enough to be in a tourist spot. Keep plodding on & more importantly get your leg sorted
I understand what you are saying and infact I do many variations of video to please everyone but just seems my videos are going backwards Thank you for the support my friend
Hi Steve! It's some years that I follow you. Not really regularly, but when I prepare for one of my trip to malta I watch the videos about the places I am planning to visit. I can tell you, You are great. I undestend the strugle behind the making of the videos, and I guess if it is not fun for You it will not be fun for us. But I still hope You will continue.
The scucess on UA-cam? Is it realy important? Your appeal is in the niche contents you are offering us. Doing Your thing will maybe not atract many folovers/likest/tumbs but as long as You enjoj it is not that important.On the other hand, not many people would hike in a place where nobady can see and admire them.
I wish You lots and lots of helth and a ton of fun.
Tanja
Guess sometimes the content gets stale its a small island
@@EnglishmaninMalta but the world and especially Malta is changing so fast. Every day something new. :)))
You have got a good youtube channel Steve don't give up, i fell over in Thailand 2 big cuts on my arm and a cracked rib, next month back to the hospital fo my final assessment on my tongue, all part of getting old Steve keep calm and carry on as they say.👍
Hey LCT sorry to hear that my friend, Just feel I am not getting the views I deserve And see many other bad ones gatting so many, I enjoy getting out and about so youtube does that for me ! So still not sure what to do,
Get well soon! Keep UA-cam!! Love your videos so much- you were the first UA-camr that really showed Malta and it’s beauty and I was so grateful to see the beautiful country through them.
Thank you so much Annie xx Thank you for the support, Oh Yes the good old days !! now there are loads of them Still englishman the greatest ...lol 😂 did you stop doing videos ? I watched a few I gave you thumbs up but comments, Who I could a few things you can do ? lol 😁
Don't disappear completely please, I enjoy your videos very much . Get well soon. Take care 😊
Thank you for the support Marlene
Steve, my thoughts and prayers are for you !
Thank you Rose xx
Hope your legs heals well Steve, it's just a matter of letting it improve at its own pace. As for the videos, you have to enjoy what you are doing, if it's a slog or chore then, and you don't need the hassle then take a rest and see how it goes. I have noticed that popular videos tend to be shorter 8-10 minutes, so it might be worth looking at that . Whatever you decide to do, rest assured that there are a lot of "sensible" people who have enjoyed them. :)
could be as you say, videos of short length get views but UA-cam are promoting videos more over 40 mins ..so who knows what to do ??
sorry to hear this steve about your health hope all goes well for youwe shall missyou joseph
Hey Joe, Stitches out on monday and just waiting for the results Might make less videos ...see how i feel if views improve
We hope you feel better soon Steve. You were our inspiration before we first visited Malta. Your videos were so informative and helpful , and we enjoyed your easy going manner in the way you put them over to everyone. You are just as much part of Malta like the telephone and post boxes. Not forgetting La of course 😁❤
Thanks so much! I really not sure what I do about the UA-cam channel
@@EnglishmaninMalta Just do what you like when you like. Alex in Malta has a lot of subscribers as he covers many current issues which interests young people relocating to Malta etc. He also has a hip lifestyle that appeals to the younger audience.
You appeal to a different demographic so don’t worry about figures .
@@asyoulikeit111 lol...yes many subscribers over 100.000 with 4.000 views on hes videos not the best comparison
Hope you feel better soon, I will Miss Your Channel a lot ,just take it easy , Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. Take Care Angela England 😂
Thanks so much Angela xx
Hi Steve, sounds like your "get up and go, has got up and went". I'm sure you will be back on your feet soon, no pun intended, just carry on with what you do Steve because you do it well. Be yourself Steve, that's why we keep watching you. All the best, 🍷
its been a horrible 2024 so far !!
Love your videos! I get to see my country and places I never knew about
Pleased to hear that, just my views seem to go down every video
Wishing you a speedy recovery! 67… wow Maltese life suits you well! I had been unsubscribed from your channel so I thought you had stopped vlogging…. I absolutely love this channel you show everyone the real Malta, the side the tourist doesn’t see! I am heading out to see my best friend on Saturday, I can’t wait to get back!! I live for Malta., I do hope you keep up with this channel, step back a bit if it helps whilst you have a reat, your viewers will still be watching!! Xx
I had noticed that the views are down from last year, sadly UA-cam seems to be unsubscribing people that do not view regular not sure why !! welcome back
@@EnglishmaninMalta if I watch on the telly I’m not signed in that’s why I was dropped I think. I’m heading out to Malta on Saturday yippppeeee🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹
@@EnglishmaninMalta you will feel a bit out of sorts after your surgery fiasco amd worry over results etc, totally understandable. You need to rest, take a break and come back when you feel better. Surgery is traumatic on the body no matter how great or small the procedure is
The Australian Hall in Pembroke was good.
I am surprise it didn't get more views
Get well soon Steve see you back on the road take care.
Thank you my friend
I wish you a swift recovery. I love your channel and will watch your videos more than once but know my own viewing went down as covid restrictions lifted. I work from home 3 days a week and will put your older videos on in the background so I’m not sitting in silence. I love the little glimpse of Malta you give me until I can get back out there.
Sounds great Karen, do you have a channel ??
Firstly Get well soon..You're the best youtuber for malta by a country mile ..content with a smile. keep it going..
Thank you 🙌
get well soon look forward to some new videos but take your time and relax and hope to see you when we come over in october for a cuppa and a chat look after yourself
Thank you, I will, contact me when you are over cant promies anything !!
Speedy recovery Steve! Looking forward to seeing you in your next video upload.😎✌️👍
Thanks 👍
@@EnglishmaninMaltamost welcome 🙏
Hope you get well Steve.
Thank you for your concern and support
I had the same operation on my leg/shin twice for Basel Cell .The pulling and tightening is the stitches and healing , I had the same feeling in my leg and it went after the stitches were removed ,, perfectly normal .Best regards
Nice to hear Susan, next week stiches out results in a few weeks
Steve, I have enjoyed your videos for a few years. Moved from Canada to Malta in October 2023. Thanks very much. Look after yourself.
nice to hear from you my friend take care
Look after yourself first steve,u'll come to the right decision over your channel,iv been watching you for a few years now and can honestly say iv enjoyed every video u'v done( even the one at the church in floriana that went on ages😂),and the foodie channel is epic iv not seen you dislike one thing yet😂,you take us on some amazing walks even going a over t on some of them t.c😊😊 ❤❤
Hey tracy you are a superstar, its worth a big kiss next time I see you for the great support xx
Best of luck Steve with your leg. I had a cancer removed from the back of my knee about 8 years ago. Fine now. Take care xxx
Good to hear that ...stiches out next so we see what happens
How boring people are!!!. why do they hate your videos ?... they must be jealous... i always enjoy watching your interesting videos. You are such a genuine person. Also your sense of humour is great. We encourage you to keep showing us places in malta which sometimes i send to family abroad.
Get well soon. Courage, I'm sure all will go well. Lookin forward to more enjoyable videos and i mean it.
Hey Pippo, nice to hear from you, not sure people hate my videos In fact I get many complimentary comments like yours, Just seems from last year my views are going down so much, and many problems with the UA-cam platform
Steve l know its been some time since I sent you a comment but that doesn't mean that l am not watching your videos. It s just that when l watch them on television l will not be able to comment. As for your thinking about quitting quitting u tube l ask you to think it over. Think about those thousands that follow your videos.l am sure they will be very disappointed. As for your leg l hope that you will receive a good result. The older we grow more ailments we have in our health but I assure you that here in Malta there Are many good doctors and they make miracles.l have had already two operations a😢nd they were both successful. Trust your doctors and l am sure everything will be fine. Good luck Steve and go on giving us those beautiful videos so we can enjoy watching them
Bye Steve till next time ❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Hey Polin, There are lots of issues with UA-cam at the moment wondering if it worth the trouble, Thank you for your support xx
Best wishes from 🇦🇺 and love watching your videos from my birth place. Take care
Thank you for a lovely comments and support
Rest up Steve and look after yourself. Have a break dont give up xx
Hey Gaynor nice to hear from you xx
Steve we enjoy your video’s, don’t change, and do what you like to do.
Thanks 👍 for your support
Hopefully, you won't have any more trouble with your leg. I'm also hoping you decide to keep this channel going.Sorry that I can't think of anything that would increase the viewing figures- apart from being more controversial, which would -as you've say - attract the wrong people to this friendly channel.
All the best.
So we see next week stitches out and results soon, I never show my controversial side ...lol 😂
Get well soon Steve,please dont give up videos!
Hey Paul, Thanks for your comments ...Just sad to see nice videos get so low views
Yes, the wound feels very strange as it knits back together. I had major suffers a couple of years back and had it in my head, the wound had been stapled. I could even feels them pinching. After three weeks I checked in with the nurse to have them removed and it turned out the incision had been glued! 😩
Oh wow! Jenny I heard about the gluing thing maybe not do it here hopefully stitches out next week ?? hope the tests ok
Hope it all goes well. I think the waiting is the most difficult bit. Look after yourself. x
Keep going Steve, Your a Inspiration to every one.!! Get well soon and enjoy the moment.
Thank you for your lovely comments always
keep up the good work, Steve, you are humourous and interesting, hope you leg gets better soon
Nice to hear from you Dougy, I try my best my friend
