Thank you very much. I am pleased that you liked the video of Lavenham - it is a lovely village. Thanks for watching and best wishes, Rob

Thanks Billy!

Yes, the autumn leaves are quite something!

If you are ever in Namibia, that waterhole at Etosha is a must visit, particularly in the dry season.

Yes, indeed it was! Thaks for watching and best wishes, Rob

Tx very much. I'll have a look at your part of the world later. Best wishes, Rob

Tx Robert, I'm pleased you liked it. Apologies for the delay in replying, we've been away. Best wishes, Rob

Tx you two! It's well worth a visit if you venture to Suffolk. Apologies for the delay in replying, we've been away. Hope all is well with you. Best wishes, Rob

Thanks 36degrees. The pigs are let out on the forest every autumn. Best wishes, Rob

Thank you so much, I'm pleased you like them! Best wishes, Rob

Tx for watching the vid and taking the time to comment, much appreciated. The forest areas would look much the same to you but the towns will look quite different. Thanks again and best wishes, Rob

Thanks very much for watching, I'm pleased you found the vid interesting. The Swan is a great place to stay if you're in the area. Best wishes, Rob

Hi Renata. It is a lovely hotel and we really enjoyed our 2 night stay. Thanks for watching and best wishes, Rob

@@TheCountryTraveller All the best! Ciao!

Hi Billy, It's a lovely hotel. Not cheap, but worth it. Best wishes, Rob

Hi Simon. Yes, the bar is full of nostalgia and the comments on the wall are all the more poignant when you think that many of the writers didn't make it back home after the war. Recommended if you're looking for somewhere to stay in the area! Tx for watching. Best wishes, Rob

Thanks. Recommended if you're looking for somewhere to stay in the area! Tx for watching. Best wishes, Rob

That sounds like a very hairy first trip on the Broads! I think that a lot of people don't realise that the Broads are tidal. We moored at Great Yarmouth once and we didn't realise how far the tide goes out. Fortunately, someone who knew what they were doing at the yacht club showed us how to tie up properly without leaving the boat high and dry when the tide went out. Thanks for taking the time to write a really interesting comment! Best wishes, Rob

I remember a broads brochure in the 1950s which said 'it is a safely adventurous holiday with new thrills which Old hands regularly enjoy'. Your experience certainly fits the bill. I spent many Broads holidays in the 1950s and 60s in cabin cruising sailing yachts WITHOUT ENGINES and had various hairy experiences and also absolutely magically enjoyable ones. It was a fascinating boating subculture quite distinct from the canals on the one hand and coastal/estuarine yachting on the other.

Thanks very much for watching the vid, I'm pleased you found it interesting. Best wishes, Rob

Thanks for watching the vid, much appreciated. You have a fabulous house! Best wishes, Rob

Yes, you need to be careful. We haven't crossed Breydon Water but we have been down to Great Yarmouth - very tidal and fast flowing. I prefer the calmer waters farther upriver :) Thanks for watching the vid and best wishes, Rob

I thought the antelope's life was going to end then, it must have been close. Tx for watching and best wishes, Rob

I think you're right. I've watched it several times and thought the antelope was behind but now I'm with you, it was in front. It must have been a very close call! Tx for watching and best wishes, Rob

Hi Billy, I thought the antelope's life was going to end then, it must have been close. Perhaps they enjoy playing 'chicken'! All the best, Rob

Hi Anna, I thought the antelope's life was going to end then, it must have been close. Yes, it was a fantastic holiday - more videos to come when I have the time to sort them out. Busy with 'life' at the moment. All the best, Rob

Haha you might be right Anne! I thought the antelope's life was going to end then, it must have been close. All the best, Rob

Hi Rachelle. I grew up in Langton in 50s/60s. There isn't a police officer there now :) Thanks for watching and best wishes, Rob

Hello rsonghurst. Thanks very much for watching the video. I am making another one of the Swan, which I hope to finish by the end of this week. Are there any points about the hotel that you would like me to include? I will put another comment on here with a link to the video, which I hope you will be able to see. We will certainly visit Lavenham again. Best wishes, Rob

Hello James, Thanks very much for watching the vid and taking the time to comment. I thought that Laverham was a village but then saw it referred to as a town. It's too late to amend the video but I will amend the text to cover your points. I realised that I'd made the Henry VIII error when I played the video back to myself. I meant to say 'the 15 hundreds' but it came out as 'the 15th century' :( Thanks also for the clarification of the timbered houses, I didn't know that. You live in a very nice part of the world James and I hope it stays that way. Best wishes, Rob

Tx LITNF, I'm pleased you found it interesting.

Yes Billy, it is a beautiful place, almost unique, I think. Tx for watching and best wishes, Rob

Yes Anne, it is a beautiful place, almost unique, I think. Tx for watching and best wishes, Rob

Thanks Paul. How the year rushes by :) Tx for watching and best wishes, Rob

Thanks Billy. Hope all is good with you - Spring is just around the corner! Best wishes, Rob

Thanks 36, I'm pleased you found the vid interesting. Thanks for watching. Best wishes, Rob

Thanks Craig. I put it on both of my channels as some people follow the diary but haven't subscribed to 'Living in The New Forest'. Thanks for taking the time to comment again, much appreciated. All the best, Rob

Thanks Anne. Yes Mojo is doing well! I haven't been very active on YT lately as we had to say goodbye to our lovely Edith, the miniature schnauzer, and she's left a very big hole. She was only 7, which makes it worse. Anyway, onward and upward ... All the best, Rob

@TheCountryTraveller oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that! So tragic at that age too but she had the best life any dog could wish for with you and the beautiful forest. Love and hugs to you all ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks Kim, I'm pleased you found the vid interesting. Hope all is well with you. Best wishes, Rob

Thanks very much Elliot, I'm pleased you found the vid helpful. Hope you have a lovely weekend in The New Forest. Best wishes, Rob

It's a rubber snake, used to show that the Secretary Bird recognises the snake as a threat. It's a demonstration, showing nature in action.

Appreciate you clarifying that. Phew

Thanks for the comment Melanie. I will make it clearer in the text that it's a rubber snake!
