    I’ve been watching your videos for the past few months and I can’t begin to tell you how very much I enjoy your walk through all the lovely peaks and valleys as well as the beautiful churches 🎉. God bless you and keep up the great work 😊. I really appreciate your historical insights.

      I lived in an earlier past life on the Yorkshire coast between 1745 and 1815. Our family-owned and operated a small Pub. I recall working there and as a caretaker at the local Anglican Church, I do not recall the name of the Pub nor of the Church. It was a quiet life, I remember hearing and reading about the wars with France and the Colonies, very disgusted with all the wars, we lost many young men in all the fighting.

    Blockley surely is a secret hidden gem..lots of crooks and crannies to explore as you walk through the village, similar to Bisley near Stroud..Yet another inspiring tour, thankyou so much!

      Not watching Olympics at all due to the degenerates that insulted Christians around the World.

    • @SmokingLaddy
      @SmokingLaddy 2 місяці тому

      Sometimes but not often, usually they get used as book banks or for a defibrillator. I had the number for the phone box in Chipping Campden, used to call it when tourists were posing for pictures.

    Please do your homework in Ebrington if you visit again, pronunciation of the church name and the colloquialism of the village name. Your comment of the houses along the Hidcote Road are ( no disrespect to the current owners/occupants) are the old council houses as which each village has/had to provide. A comment of their lovely views from both front and the rear of these houses is phenomenal would have been more appropriate.

      We spoke to several locals who all had conflicting ways of pronouncing it - hence the comment in the intro 😊

      I did listen to the whole recording and it is Yubberton, and Chipping Campden is Campden as Chipping is a town in south Glos. The church is St Eadburgha’s .

      @@brucesharpe1079 That’s fair enough Bruce. We do get a few more recent refugees but because we don’t get many they are basically forced to integrate, it can’t continue 1M+ a year but for now I think we should spread them out, we have these problems when there are parallel communities like we see in bigger cities. The AirBnBs are the biggest problem, I’d rather have a family of Syrians than a ponce from London who stays in their holiday home AirBnB one week a year.
