WTF, Africa, Uganda, what am I doing?
Africa, Uganda, what am I doing. Come with me on my trip to our small farm we have brought outside Entebbe. Have a look what we are building, growing and breeding. If you like the rural side of life, don’t mind the hardships, this could be for you. So starting from scratch we’ve dug a well, planted coco trees, grown some weird fruit I haven’t seen before and started building. We have nearly finished the African hut and now starting on the farmhouse. Now, I like my luxuries so there will be electric and running water etc . Thanks for watching, and am I going mad lol!!

Caxton to blackcat roundabout bypass

Caxton to blackcat roundabout new road, or even new bypass. If you live near st Neots and seen all the roadworks and wondered what’s it all about. It’s costing just under 1 billion ( probably will go up knowing what normally happens). This new road is going to be part of the new East to West link and will be duelled carriage all the way and hopefully stop the bottleneck at the Blackcat. Come wi...

What’s happening at WINTRINGHAM 2024
Просмотров 3142 месяца назад
What’s happening at Wintringham housing estate in St Neots. Been asked many times to go back and have a look and see what’s changed. This estate is certainly getting bigger and bigger. So I gather very shortly there will be shops, health centre, gym and much more. Certainly a lot of activities for the Wintringham community. Come with me and let’s have a look around.
CAMBOURNE, what’s it all about?

St Neots Falcon Hotel renovation
Просмотров 3963 месяца назад
St Neots Falcon Hotel, is it going to be renovated or what? Well, this hotel has been empty for nearly 20 years and certainly needs something done about it. So some plans have come up for some housing to be built at the back while the front of the building which is listed is going to be commercial and residential. So, have a look at my video and see what you think. Thanks for watching, Andy
St Neots Master Plan
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.3 месяца назад
St Neots Master Plan, I didn’t really know about this until it came up on my Facebook. Hmm, I thought what is this all about so I looked further into it. I had no idea the council was looking into building another walking/cycling bridge over the river here in St Neots. I see the original plan was thought about wayback in 2004 but been shelved on and off several times. Well, it looks like it may...

Little Paxton Bridge, after the flood
Thank you, Andrew! I also came upon your channel searching for my roots in England. It was amazing to walk through with you. You pointed out some fun features ❤
Interested to know what camera you're using in this video please..?
BBC Alba is the native Gaelic language channel and predominantly watched by those in the Highlands and Islands where Gaelic is still the mother tongue and widely spoken.
The Black Cat sculptures are safely stored at the contractor offices in St Neots and will be reinstated following the completion of the works.
Great 👍 thank you 😊
Wow, like a garden of Eden.
Certainly very green with all the rain we had. Thanks for watching
I'm coming late to this, but thanks for that video. You (and others) might be interested in the report that was written as part of the archaeological investigations that were performed before the current drive-throughs were built. archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archiveDS/archiveDownload?t=arch-817-1/dissemination/pdf/cotswold2-167119_1.pdf There's the following about the airfield: "In the 1930s part of Caxton Common immediately to the south of the site was used by the Cambridge University Gliding Club as an airfield (HER 02470). During World War II this was taken over by the RAF and used as a training airfield. It was attacked by the Luftwaffe on several occasions and a number of Tiger Moth trainers were shot down or destroyed on the ground. Remains of the airfield defences can still be seen around its perimeter. After the war the airfield was returned to the glider club. " I find it fascinating that no significant archeological traces were found, at a site where one of the busiest Roman roads in Britain intersected with AIUI another (minor) Roman road.
Hello, Andy! You have found a great place to escape from the dullness of wintery weather! Are you going to move to this place and live there permanently? Hats off for your enthusiasm! Great video as usual! Thanks a lot! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching Anna. My plan is too ‘drift’ between Uganda and uk. The plan is still in progress. Have a lot of things going on here, other projects.
@andrewwardmedia Thank you for your respond, Andy! I'm a great traveler and explorer, but at the moment I'm afraid of traveling abroad as I'm Russian and do not like our temporary situation here. My nationality may provoke aggressive and abusive behavior towards me... Then my only trip to Egypt was a complete disaster even though I was with my ex there... Seems like in the East people respect men more than women. Anyway, I'm staying at home at the moment.. with a great hope for the changes for the better in the world 🌍🕊🕊🕊 Good luck to your channel and you personally! 🥳🥳🥳 Your videos widen my horizon, I really appreciate them 👍😊
@ hiya, thanks for your reply. Sorry about your travels. Personally, I don’t think you would have any problem in Uganda. Let’s hope the situation sorts it out soon. Thanks for your comments
Better than some of those housing estates you are always showing us 😊 Mind you some of that pointing does look a bit iffy round the holes
Lol, thanks for watching, yes, pointing could be better, but as they cement all the outside you don’t see it. Thought it would make a change from St Neots housing estates ha ha. Back in uk in a few days, I see it’s pretty cold there at the moment
Hello, Andy! Great video, thank you so much! I have fallen out with my old friend living in St Neots, but as I'm an English tutor I am still watching your videos so as not to forget the language I studied by myself 😊 The place is cozy and soothing, I would probably get bored as I am used to living in the capital of my country... Good luck to you! 🎉🎉🎉 Will be waiting for your new videos before Christmas 🎅🎄
Thanks for watching Anna, yep, the pace of life is slower here. Cheers Andy
Any hookers
You didn't go past silver gates
Too scared lol
I'm a retired HGV driver worked out of Peterborough, Cambs, So I'm quite an expert on the Hangman's Gibbet R/A because of Years of A14 road improvement, Causing road closures, But once Cambourne was built, it allowed 3 Counties to come together, and improve Britain's Crosslink road/rail infrastructure, that our homegrown NIMBY's hate, All roads do not have too lead to Rome, But look to Britain's canal system, it goes, where the goods are needed, the A428 will link Directly, the Port of Felixstowe, with the M1 @ junc13
Lazy workers on the market square............. I'm supprised council hasn't kicked off about it yet , every time I go into town theres one bloke working and 7 sat on there phones.
Hiya, they certainly are dragging it out. I know they keep saying it’s because of this and because of that but I don’t get it. I bet it’s over budget.
My wife loves St Neots. Now, I understand why.😊
High st looks like it's dying Andy. Full of generic shops. Shame.
Very true, I must admit I’m not happy the way it’s going, and of course the high street will be even quieter with the market square parking gone. The council has no idea what people really want and also the local business owners
Cheers to you from the USA!
Cheers to you from sunny St Neots lol
You dont understand it eh???? Well i do Andy..carry on mate and once you really do get haunted then youll know thst you should never of fried wolf.
Ha ha, thanks for watching, sorry for the late response, chasing ghosts lol
Hi Andy It's The Darkknight here...I'm looking to see if your still experiencing paranormal I'd love to feature your case.
I’ve moved from that cottage now, it was a few years back. We rent it out but the tenants have had no sightings. You want to try Cold Christmas church near Ware. Very spooky, did a video about it.ruclips.net/video/7AvfoJVPwYE/видео.htmlsi=6zt_V_P3C7yQNQ4n
Good try but there seems to be more that you dont know about but should have researched before you started making the video. I might suggest thatthe plan was to make available a lot more building land for cheap, high densty, low quality homes.
Thanks for the info
interesting to know what is going on there!
@@GiovanniMazzeo-r1n thanks for watching
green things stop water
Thanks for that. I was also informed to keep wildlife away from project as well
I'm told that once you've cleared your site of wildlife such as newts, you put the green barriers up to stop them from getting back in and delaying your project.
Thanks for that, makes sense, planners can be so strict sometimes.
The low green plastic 'walls' are to hold back flood waters. The road flooded earlier this year, and one lane was closed for several days
Thanks for the info about the green barriers. Cheers
what about the sound on this one? muffled in parts
The mike was too near my throat and I didn’t realise till I got home. I thought I needed it nearer because it was so noisy with traffic. Thanks for watching anyway.
Put mike to near my mouth as I thought it might help with the traffic noise.
@@andrewwardmedia two replies wow guilty conscience I forgive you!
@ ha ha, you actually have a guilty conscience lol
@@andrewwardmedia How about another scary video I love those.Maybe you could visit one of those new housing estates again and vlog the shiny boxes ❤
Hiya Andy! Love the video ❤
Cheers thanks for watching
Kfc shut a few months back that's why you couldn't find it
Thanks, I guessed it might have. Thanks for watching and comment, much appreciated
And now I know why I couldn’t find KFC, thanks for the info
Tavistock street is a real 💩 hole, sorry I’ll amend my sentence. “Bedford is now a real 💩hole”. The place has gone completely down hill over the last 40yrs. It’s like Luton’s little brother.
Hiya, thanks for watching. Certainly some places in Bedford are run down, like you said, Luton’s little brother. Cheers for your comment….. Andy
Hi Andy. Coming to the end of my trip in England; shame we didn’t cross paths. The area does seem sus Hopefully you are keeping well? Thanks for the upload.
Hi Michael, sorry we didn’t catch up, I been away and only just got back anyway. Hope your trip back to the uk was ok. Safe journey back to Canada. Cheers Andy
Hi Andy, KFC is no longer there, it's to the left of king kebab on the corner. I think you visited a bit early I regularly drive down there early on 5 to 6am to work and it's a different story. You definitely see some sights some days. Another great vid.
At least we got to see the white jaguar KY19EEN, some very sexy curves ❤
Hey Andy! Would definitely recommend taking a look at Caxton and the Strip of road between Caxton and Wintringham that is currently being built! Ideas?? 😅
Hiya, I thought about that. Certainly lot of roadworks going on there
Hi Andy! Me and my husband love watching your videos. In fact, we have just relocated to St. Neots and moved into our new home and we watched your videos in the lead up to it. We found them so insightful. We also wondered if you knew why there is so much traffic around St. Neots? Is something new happening, would love to see a video on that! Look forward to more of your content :) Zunaira and Paul
Hiya, there are a lot of roadworks near where u live and also on the A428. Little Paxton road is closed so a lot of traffic using the Cambridge street/road as a bypass. I must admit it certainly looks a lot busier than usual. Thanks for watching much appreciated
Hi Andy! Thanks for another great upload. I once read Wintringham farm was an encampment for German POWs. Do you know anything about this histroy?
No, I didn’t know that about a pow camp being at Wintringham farm. Sounds interesting. Cheers Andy
Hi Andy. Great video. This is Dave. I met you on the common last week when I was over from America. I grew up in SN. Town is very different.
Hi Dave, it was a pleasure to meet you, hope everything went ok. Yes, st Neots has certainly changed since. You last lived here all those years ago. Thanks for watching Andy
Good video andy. The shops etc. are meant to be in a later phase. Just down from where you are there's a map showing the different phases explaining what's going in.
Thanks for watching, let’s hope it all goes to plan
Great video Andy. This video didnt disappoint! We live in the David Wilson section and love our estate so far. Hoping the further developments and shops don't ruin the peace and quiet. Thank you for taking the time to make this video! Bryan
Thanks for watching and your kind comments, much appreciated. Pleased to hear you have settled in ok. Welcome to St neots
Wilson Homes is a brand of Barratt Developments Plc, a homebuilding company that also owns Barratt Homes and Barratt London: Wilson Homes: A national housebuilder known for its high-quality family homes Barratt Homes: A consumer brand that offers a variety of properties across the UK Barratt London: A consumer brand that offers a variety of properties across the UK In 2007, Barratt Developments acquired Wilson Bowden PLC, which included David Wilson Homes, for £2.7 billion. This acquisition made Barratt the largest homebuilder in Britain at the time. Some say that David Wilson Homes offers better quality finishes and better kerb appeal than Barratt Homes. Others say that Barratt Homes offers more for your money, but that David Wilson Homes offers better looking houses Some say they are both crap
Blimey Hubsan Choice, you are certainly a fountain of knowledge lol. Thanks for watching mate
It’s a disgrace that the council have allowed a fantastic building to remain derelict for 20 years. It should have been the heart of the town, posh hotel, bistro overlooking the river, art gallery, etc. Nope the council planted LONDON PLANE trees on the market square - totally inappropriate to plant massive trees there and yet they put tree preservation orders on other peoples trees! Then they took away the car parking on the market square so the elderly can no longer get to the bank and guess what Lloyds, NatWest, Halifax, have closed, Barclays are going. Edinburgh Woollen Mill, M&Co, Beales, Brittain’s, have all closed to name just a few of the businesses lost. If you can’t park you cannot buy. Don’t they get that? Parking is free in Ely and it’s thriving. They built thousands of houses so clearly get massive amounts more council tax and yet it’s just deteriorating. Wake up HDC!
I totally agree with everything you said. Thanks for watching
take a look at DJI NEO Adding Sound. 3 Ways to Record Straight To Your Drone you could use the neo in your videos
The floods in saint neots is bad again maybe could tou make a video on it part 2 as i saw your last one with my friends in it
Thanks for watching, a bit late now as I didn’t have time, but I’m sure there will be more soon, usually around jan feb time we will have more floods.
Papworth video - Absolutely dire. Just continuous shots of "Andy" wandering around, could have been anywhere. No mention of why and how Papworth Everard's history. Why was formed from a small village to a tuberculosis colony, then as a major heart hospital, its many factories, its people, how it changed over the years and why. A brief mention of the now defunct hospital and why it moved to Cambridge. No mention of people and population. Absolutely dire.
Sorry you didn’t like it, but I take up your comments. Thanks for watching anyway
Interestingly, Cambourne roads where originally designed as 30kph, but obviously we measure in mph so all the speed signs displayed the nearest mph. Original speed posted was 19mph. It later changed to 30mph, and that now has been reassigned to 20mph. That's 3 speed changes during it's existence 😮
Thanks for that, I didn’t know about all the speed changes in Cambourne.
Friends of mine owned and farmed the fields where Camborne is built on. They sold the land to another big farmer because of death duties. 2 yrs later Camborne was built. Where the belfry stands used to be another friend of mine living in static homes in the wood. It was idilic until the was brought out with no choice in staying. We know the place as crambourne as it’s all so packed in.
Ha ha, at least it’s not so cramped in as Loves Farm in St Neots or Eynesbury Manor estate. Thanks for the info and a bit of history around the area where the hotel is now
@@andrewwardmedia yes that is certainly cramped.
Great to see another video, just sent you an email :D
Nice video Andy! Nice to see Camborne! Hoping to see a Wintringham updated video. There's a nice path that goes around the outside of Wintringham I think you would enjoy as a walk / video. We live on Wintringham and recommend it. Keep up the good work
Thanks very much. Wintringham video will be coming soon. If you look back on my videos I have one from the start when it was just fields.
Looked like a pretty soulless place to live I have to say Andy. No history there.
Hiya, well it is a pretty new town, only about 25 years old now. Before it was a farm called Monkfields. Thanks for watching.
Hi Andy, it’s fantastic. See Cambourne again. I haven’t been to Great Campbell or Campbell for many years. In fact I used to go to a church service there for awhile anyway, and then that church service moved out of the hotel the older hotel to the newer community building, but it’s absolutely amazing to see how much the place has changed since I’ve visited there.
Hiya, thanks for watching. Cambourne is expanding and a new phase is being Addis called West Cambourne. This will go all the way to Caxton Gibbet.
Nice video Andy! Nice to see Camborne! Hoping to see a Wintringham updated video. There's a nice path that goes around the outside of Wintringham I think you would enjoy as a walk / video. We live on Wintringham and recommend it. Keep up the good work
Is st Neots station really good? Has it got a newsagents/shop in there?
I’m afraid not
Such a shame that Dennis let it go. He knows it's listed and if it gets to a state beyond repair, they'll knock it down and build houses. Which is what he wants. Such a shame they can't restore it to be a bit like Jordan's Mill with a cafe/pub and shops, maybe an art gallery too.
I agree with that, well we will have to wait and see the outcome
Hello, Andy! Loads of thanks for your video! The place looks very interesting, I hope, all rebuilding and renovations won't spoil it one day. When things change for the better in the world, I hope, I'll come to the UK after some time. From Moscow with love to your country and great hope for Peace! 🕊🕊🕊🌍❤
Hiya, thanks for watching and love to Moscow, let’s hope we gave peace soon
