Thanks
Thank you, friend! Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x
Nice video guys. I hope you get a chance to revisit in the summer. Everything looks so different during the different seasons.
And thank you for exploring while you're in the UK. I've known many US service families who've been stationed in the UK (some of whom are now family) and you'd be amazed at how few of them bothered to meet any locals or saw any of the little cultural and historical details that were around them. Thank you for making an effort to experience and understand the natives. :-)
I'm so glad you enjoyed the adventure day trip with us. We will definitely be returning and taking a boat out on a tour with the kids. We will share it with you all once we do! Thank you so much for your kindness and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x
Well done in finding the churches , it just goes to show how big the population used to be in the area
Some of it is probably down to a shift in the dynamic over the last 150 years or so. Once over, churches were seen as the absolute hub of the community, and most had strong congregations. Times change, the motor car came along. People sometimes live in more spread locations now.
The Broads area was once very rich owing to sheep wool. Tudor early Jacobean time, When that dipped heavily, the area became poor!
Right, it was such a wonderful experience. We always trun off onto a less traveled road, which is our favorite! Thank you for all the lovely support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
East Anglia was one of the most prosperous and heavily populated areas of the UK in medieval times. It’s really odd nowadays to come across such huge churches in tiny hamlets.
@@ynys_mon6928 Norfolk ( and Suffolk ) indeed has tons of churches and also many roundtowers, which pre-date the Norman ( square ) towers.
Loved the background music? Very ethereal.The season seems weeks ahead of the north, (cumbria) - you never disappoint.
Thank you, friend! The music is all RUclips Music. That is all we use now. We appreciate your wonderful support. Cheers 🤍 Jess
Great vlog.
If you have more time get up to the beautiful Newcastle upon Tyne and surrounding countryside, you will not be disappointed.
Great to have you here.
Thank you for the tip! We're so glad you enjoyed our fun day out. Hope you have a wonderful week. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x
Great to see you managed to nip up to the Broads. There is soooooo much more to see and enjoy. By the way, they don’t do narrow boats on the broads, but cruisers. Hope you manage to get one. They hire 8 seater day cruisers at Wroxham. It has an onboard galley to make a cup of tea and a toilet for those little life necessities. My suggestion would be to hire one from there for the day and potter down the river, via Wroxham and Salhouse broads (mini lakes), to Horning or a bit further to Ranworth Broad. It is easier to moor up at Horning than Ranworth if you are not too experienced with boats. Moor up and have a midday meal and a beer at one of the pubs. Then a slow potter back up the river to Wroxham. There are speed limits on the broads so you can’t go too fast. The trip from Wroxham to Horning takes about 1 hour 30 minutes if you take is quite slow, depending on which way the tide is going. So if you pick your boat up around 10am..get to Horning or Ranworth by 12.00 ish. Have a walk around and a nice meal (carvery at the Ferry Inn is usually good) then a dozy slow potter back to Wroxham to take the boat back by, I think from memory, about 17.00. Make sure you take a loaf of bread to feed the ducks and swans at Salhouse broad. Some ducks are so tame, they will jump up on the side of the boat to be fed. You will also be able to hand feed the swans too as they will reach up to take the bread from your hand. People say don’t feed the birds bread, but I have been going to the Broads since the 1960’s and they are still there. 🤷🏼♂️ All in all, if the weather is good, I think you will enjoy a pleasant day out. Take the kids and let them “drive” the boat too. By the way, keep to the right side of the river when “driving” along and yachts have priority. Thanks for the video…Sn00py.
Just so! I was just about to say myself that narrowboats are what you have on the canals, which involves getting through locks, on the broads what you need is a 'lowboat' ;-) to get past the low bridges! Day hire I would go electric, as it makes it way more peaceful cruising around. But a week on the broads is pretty inexpensive, as of course it includes accomodation on the boat, and is a great way to enjoy that marvellous place.
Sounds idyllic !
Friend, thank you so very much for the wonderful recommendation and insight. We will definitely be back to explore more of The Broads very soon! I hope you are having a great week. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
What a brilliant tour, definitely one of your best! You must have a broads cruise one day, but take the kids as they would love it. Narrow boats are for canals, but I'm sure you can hire a cruiser, or take an organised tour. I have a wonderful memory of a day on the Broads, with my late wife Jacky and dear little Bonnie, our Pom. Thanks for posting.
Dear friend we're so glad you enjoyed it! I just enjoyed reading your email. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful memories with us. We feel so blessed to be here and share with you all. Love all your wonderful, great ideas! Hope you have the most amazing week. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
That plateful Chris had looked fabulous, as did your jacket potato Jess. I'm getting the impression it wouldn't take too much for you to move here for good if the opportunity ever presented itself.... I had a week on the Broads in 2001, in a hired boat. It was a really pleasant experience. Comfortable beds on the boat, along with fridge, cooker, shower etc....and plenty of places to moor up for the night.
The food was so yummy. He definitely didn't share, lol.. I keep saying that if I win the millions, I will definitely purchase a home here. We are so glad you enjoyed our fun day out. Have a great week, friend. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x
It was great to see you showing so much respect to the pheasant.
Right, it was so precious! Loved the good giggle. We appreciate your time watching and kindness, friend! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
A nice jaunt, again showing us natives, in taking our countryside for granted, what we might be missing and reminding us what a green and pleasant land much of the UK still is.🙂
..a boat on the Broads sounds a great holiday!
I'm so glad we can show you all more of this beautiful place we all get to call home. We appreciate your support, friend! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Hi, I'm really enjoying having your company, and have to say that your videos, along with the chosen observations are so relaxing and informative. And it's great to see that you are having a good time in the UK. Thank you. PS It can't be easy doing the filming whilst trying to enjoy the sights! You do a great job.
We are glad you enjoy the videos. Thanks for the kind words. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
That was a lovey little adventure, and I laughed with you when the pheasant was guiding you down the road too
..or showing a determination that he/she would not be rushed!🙂
It was so funny and I'm so glad I was filming. Was definitely too good not to share in the giggle with you all. We appreciate all the support and love. Have a lovely week! Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x
Hi to you both, hope you are enjoying your stay here and well done on the driving, most Americans panic when driving but you're doing fine, ans yes churches are usually open
Thank you for your time watching and commenting. We definitely love exploring this beautiful place we call home. Have a lovely week. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Good to see you guys embracing the magical villages of England. The roads less travelled are always the best. 🌄👍
💯 all day, every day, friend! Definitely love our time here. Thank you for your lovely support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Lovely! Make sure you get out to the Broads when the water lillies bloom!
That's the plan, friend! Thank you for your time and recommendation! Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x
Very nice. I loved the old churches, really spoilt for choice as there are so many of them dotted around . Out of interest I googled Norfolk Churches and found a site that has so far documented and photographed an incredible 922 of them and still counting. Such a shame that many of them are now in ruins and going back to nature but there would never be enough time and money to save them all.
We appreciate your kindness and time sharing. We're so happy to explore and appreciate all the wonderful history here. It's sad, but I understand it's so much upkeep that at times it's not possible. Thank you for your comment, friend. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Another lovely video. As you're finding out, Norfolk has more mediaeval churches than anywhere else in England. It's because Norfolk is out of the way and not on the way to the north as the counties in the midlands are. When Henry VIII was destroying the churches, his henchmen couldn't be bothered to detour into Norfolk so many more survived here. Anyway, enjoyed your video as always. Weather has been dreadfully wet, even for England, this winter but fingers crossed we will get a better summer.
I am so glad you enjoyed it.Thank you so much for your continued support. We are finding that out, and we are absolutely loving at. We love taking the road less traveled when possible. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
I love those old churches. I live near one and I like reading the dates on the grave stones.
It's such a lovely adventure, find lovely old church, and read about them. Thank you for your time watching and commenting. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Great music and journey. The last time I went to the Broads was around 40 years ago and it had a plague of greenfly. They were everywhere. Around that time the UK had a plague of ladybirds. At least they don't try to kill you. Very soon the countryside will explode with colour and your rides will be even more enjoyable.
Ah, I'm so glad you enjoyed.Thank you so much. Oh, thank you for sharing. We did not know that. Hope you have a good day! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
This looked like a very pleasant laid back time. With a pleasant pheasant as local guide. Keep exploring and enjoying what you find.
It was indeed and we intend on exploring. It has been a blast so far. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Fantastic watching your road journeys and I love the background music. Great video as always!
With all the interest now on RUclips and social media about ‘The Bloody Hundredth’ due to the success of ‘Masters of The Air’, I just wondered if you’d been to the 100th Bomb Group’s memorial museum at Thorpe Abbotts (which is not too far from you)?
Thank you. We appreciate all your support! I'm so glad you enjoyed the lovely RUclips music. Have a great week, friend. Will make sure that's on our list to check out. Thank you Cheers 🤍 Jess x
What a cracking day out you guys had! I had to laugh at the pheasant who just wouldn't move out the way and i'm sure he was you guardian Angel for the visit! The food always seems to match the surroundings and it sure looked lovely! Take care guys and thanks as always for sharing! PS I don't think Chris would have shared any of that steak pie lol
He definitely did not share. He said it was so good. LoL...
The pheasant tour guide was hilarious! Was too good not to share with you all. Thank you for your continued support. We appreciate it! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
We love the Norfolk Broads. We discovered the area only about 10 years ago, but it has become our go-to place for a relaxing holiday. By boat though. I don’t think you can get a full appreciation of the Broads from land.
So, I would encourage you to try out a boating holiday. One tip…don’t be tempted by a boat that has a high air-draft if you want to experience some of the quieter stretches of the rivers. There are some quite low bridges that the taller boats can’t get under. The weather also has an effect on how high the rivers get.
A health warning though…boating on the Norfolk Broads can get seriously addictive. We enjoy it so much we now have a share in a syndicate boat (our boat has 12 owners). One of our shares is owned by an American family who previously worked for a time in Norwich (England) but who still return each year for their Broads ‘fix’.
If you have any sailing experience, the most ‘authentic’ experience would be to hire a yacht from Hunter’s Yard. They hire out a fleet of boats that were built in the 1930s/1940s. They are very ‘easy’ boats to sail (if you have some experience). If you have read Arthur Ransom’s ‘Coot Club’, the experience of sailing a Hunter’s boat is as close as you can get to that experience.
Cool, we loved exploring and can't wait to travel around on a boat soon. Thank you for sharing your store with us. We love to learn from you all. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Lovely to see so many joyful daffodils. Glad you're enjoying tootling around the countryside. Hiring a boat should be fun...life at a lovely slow pace. Go for it!Just so you know, in church it's polite for men to remove hats. Thanks for sharing.
We're so glad you enjoyed the tour. We absolutely love finding new places to explore. Thank you so much for your time. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
For your birthday, canal narrow boat holiday would be super memorable. Very chill, you can't go more than 5 mph, and usually it is to moor up at the next pub beside the canal! Locks make it more interesting, but not too many!
Thanks, friend! I think it's going to happen this year. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
You are just down the road from me… 😁👌🏻. I’m just over the border in the most eastern part of Britain “Lowestoft” love this part of the world. 😁👍🏻.
We never thought we would have the opportunity to visit here, let alone live here. It is an amazing part of the world and we have enjoyed it quite a bit since being here. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
@@DaydreamersBarn same here I’m from the uk but have lived all over and now settled down here. And I understand it’s got it’s imperfections but where else can you have the rolling farmland one direction the fen’s and broads the other historical city’s and towns and so many different varieties of beachfront. Equally it’s not very regular it’s vlogged so for people like yourself’s who enjoy that your content is not drowning with other people’s. Can’t beat Suffolk and Norfolk in my book 😁👌🏻. If you haven’t already you need to go see lavenham Suffolk it’s beautiful 👍🏻 and the crooked house is there “it was harry potter’s parents home in the films and was the inspiration for the nursery rhyme there was a crooked man re made famous in the second conjuring film for it’s creepiness” 😁👌🏻. The village has so much more than that to offer but il let you discover that if you choose to go. 😁 all the best Warren
Hello to you. Sometimes the journey is a major part of reaching a destination. Not been to the states but I would imagine there are areas and places where the pace of life is a little slower. Is that a welcome change. Some of the parishes are tiny and serving a dwindling regular congregation. Churches are usually open public spaces for quiet contemplation and function as community hubs for village events and necessary church restorations. Life in a slow lane can give you time to look around and dream a little. Hope you see our villages in many seasons. Wishing you happy travels. If you live here now, welcome to you. I imagine the pace of life might be very different for you, or perhaps you have lived a rural life. Enjoy.
You are correct, there are places where the pace is slower in the US, specifically the rural area, as you mentioned. We have seen all of the seasons in the villages here so far and enjoy them all in their own right. We do enjoy the slower pace too. It doesn't matter what country, the pace can say a lot about someone. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Much better sound. I can actually hear what you are saying above the sound of the car engine. Infact I couldn't hear the engine at all. Love from Halifax, West Yorkshire. UK.
I am so glad you are able to hear better this time. Our new microphones will be here this week. We hope it improves even more for the sound quality. We appreciate your continued support and understanding. Hope you have a lovely day, friend. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
Never hit a Phesant in your car. they are made from depleted uranium . I've seen one make a VW Golf front end experience unsheduled rapid disassembly at less than 30 mph, which was unfortunate because it was my car. They also taste great! But they are never oven ready after they have been hit by a car. The Broads area is great. I wont say Norfolk Broads because I'm from Oulton Broad which is in Suffolk. Great Vid! Glad to see you are enjoying your time here.
Oh wow. Thank you so much for letting us know. We've not hit one, thankfully. We hope you have a wonderful day. Thank you so much for your time watching. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
Hi Jess, Chris and family, firstly my apologies for not commenting sooner. loved the pheasant so much 😀you have had some wonderful interactions with the UK wildlife. 🐐 You struck gold with the egg shed and nothing beats home grown produce. I have never been to Norfolk but your guided tour more than makes up for it. The Broads are a vast expanse of natural beauty , quaint villages and waterways . Great to see that Chris is mobile again too and thanks again for your time and efforts in producing such beautiful videos.
Wishing you all a wonderful Easter weekend, Love and best wishes. xx ❤
Oh, we're so glad you enjoyed the outing with us. The pheasant wanted to show us the way. It was so cute. We love interacting with all wildlife. It is so much fun to appreciate all the wonderful things this world has for us.
We look forward to touring the waterways here in England. There is just so much to love and appreciate living here. We love and appreciate all your positive comments and support! It means so much to us.
Chris is almost back to 💯 thankfully, so we can start going on more hiking/ walking adventures. We hope you have a lovely Easter weekend as well, friend! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
Great video guys. You definitely have to go back in the summer and take the Mississippi paddle boat cruise down the River Bure from Horning. Its a lovely leisurely way to see some of what I think is the most picturesque river in the broads. Horning is a beautiful quaint village with a great pub called The Swann. Perfect for a cold beer and a pub lunch or alternatively a perfect place to sit and have picnic on the riverbank on a warm day and just watch all the boats go by. It reminds me of the lovely holidays I had there as a child😊
Thank you so much. We are so glad you enjoyed the video. We are definitely planning a tour again. Good, possibly a boat tour and paddle boarding.... Thank you for your time sharing. We really appreciate it. Hope you have a lovely day. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
In the county of my father's maternal and paternal lines gone back to late 1400s. Grandmother born in Ranworth (with Panxworth) which you may have visited.
Glad you loved it - summer would have been even better.
Thank you for sharing! We appreciate your time. We will definitely be back in the summer. Have a lovely day! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Brilliant video! You guys should head to Wroxham & hire a boat. It isn't expensive & you could spend a day actually on the broads
We're so glad you enjoyed it! Definitely in a plan to hire a boat and even paddle boarding.... We hope you have a wonderful day! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
One of our favourite places to visit in Norfolk is a National Trust place called Horsey Windpump ! A small place to visit but you can take a walk from there and visit the coast going through man made sea defense and go on the beach and see seals. Could sit and watch them all day 😊
Oh, fabulous. Thank you for the recommendation! We appreciate your time. Have a lovely week. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Glad you enjoyed it, 👍👍
Thanks again for all the love and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
It is but true men are expected to take off hats entering church. Ladies are exempt. See you have been respectfully advised in a helpful way.I would not worry too much, won’t cause a diplomatic incident. Wow an egg farm, would it be a yolk to say I am shell shocked! Or eggcited!!! What a lovely day out always great to join you. Keep a look for good farmers! They are the ones outstanding in their field 😊 you do great commentary, never noticed sound issues. Why not try a visit to Lindisfarne. That might challenge your driving a tad! In particular at high tide. Love your content thank you
Well... It seems Chris has started an issue with his hat in the comments yet again.. lol
Thanks for the comment and time. Hope you have a lovely week. Really appreciate your support! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Hi Jess and Chris, if for you can't for any reason use a narrow boat on the Broads then I recommend you visit Kersey in Suffolk and Finchingfield which are beautiful villages, I should warn you there aren't any boats there but I think you'd enjoy it when the weather is better.
We appreciate the suggestion. We will see what we can find. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
The norfolk broads go back to the 12th century when they dug all the peat out for fuel. Apparently the Romans enitially started it two thousands years ago when they also dug the peat out for fuel. Yes, hire a boat out if you can on the broads, i didnt realise how big they were when i explored them, they go right into yarmouth. I love watching you two exploring our countryside and really appreciating it, i suppose we just take it for granted. spring is lovely when everything bursts into life, and Autumn is lovely as well it has a mystic about it. Look forward to the next one.
Thank you.
So much for your continued support. Yes, we can not wait to get out and explore more of the broads and hire a boat. We appreciate your kindness and time! Have a lovely day! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
The name for birds of prey is Raptor. The Norfolk Broads are man made, created by medieval peat digging that was flooded. Lovely daffodils, waiting for the beautiful bluebells as they herald summer is on the way. I live in Norfolk and have frequented the Broads, mostly on the northern side of the river Yare. Plenty of places do day boats, Wroxham being a popular place. Barton Broad is the place Lord Nelson learnt to sail, whilst playing truant from School. Its North of Wroxham, on the way to Stalham. Also in that area is Neatishead Radar Museum also worth a visit, especially as is has military history (Was RAF Neatishead). Enjoy.
Surprised Chris couldn't think of that word. No doubt he has encountered many F22 Raptors in the USAF.
Thanks for the info Catherine.
Fab, the word completely slipped out minds. We appreciate your time and kindness! Hope you have a lovely week. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x
The Japanese have done a study that showed decided health benefits to walking in forrests when in leaf.
We can understand why that would have health benefits. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
The Norfolk Broads are absolutely stunning guys... There's a RUclipsr called Tim... His channel is called... "Walk With Me Tim"... He's a native of Norfolk... And he has many videos from Norfolk and the surrounding areas... He's done a few videos of him traveling on the Norfolk Broads... And there are some stunning waterside homes at Wroxham too that he captures... If i can... I'll put a link to his video below... Where he hires a day boat for a few hours... As he travels along the Norfolk Broads... Some of the beautiful waterside homes are for rent as holiday homes... And some of them are actually for sale... But these are such desirable homes... That they'll easily be going for seven figure sums... And are well over a million pounds plus... And you'll definitely understand why... Once you've actually seen these properties... They are stunning!... Many thanks for taking us all out with you both... On your drive around the Norfolk countryside... All the very best... Cheers guys. 🍺 Enjoy!. 👍("Walk With Me Tim") --------------> ruclips.net/video/wBnCuqLO5d8/видео.htmlsi=BlEr25i0MnZAReiu
Fabulous, thank you for taking the time to share I will definitely be checking out the channel. Really appreciate your recommendation and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Loved the video as had many happy childhood holidays on the Broads back in the 80's. I loved my summer holidays in Spain and Italy but had some equally great times on the Broads with my parents where we'd hire a boat for the week. In the 90's my parents bought they're own boat which they kept on the Broads. They initially kept their boat in Surrey on the River Thames close to where we lived but the mooring fees were expensive and my Mum hated negotiating locks. Always seemed to get lucky with the weather up there. You should definitely hire a boat.
Thank you so much for sharing.I absolutely love being able to get like a glimpse of what you remember about certain places. It fills my heart with joy, knowing that we're able to appreciate and bring up good memories for people. We are definitely going to hire a boat and potentially do a little paddle board exploring.... Hope you have a good day, friend. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
As someone who lives close to the Lake District, and closer to the Yorkshire Dales, thank you for showing me how diverse our countryside is! I still find it unnerving that there are some areas where you can see a tree from miles away - so flat over the east side of the country! 🤭
Glad you enjoyed the video. We love being able to share our appreciation for the entire experience here. Thank you for your comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x
If you got to Runham you must have passed by Blofield. Although I live in County Durham ny family have been farmers in Blofield since before the English Civil War. That part of the country is very dear to me. Thank you for visiting.
Well, thank your family for being farmers. It is a trade that Chris and I truly appreciate it. We absolutely love traveling and being able to see something new. We appreciate your time and support. Have a lovely day! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
Have you been to Matlock Bath? If not how are you with heights and cable cars, the views are great on a clear day. At Abraham Heights there are two old mines you can go down. At the weekend Matlock Bath the bikers come, love your content keep safe jx
We have not been there yet. Sounds like a great suggestion. We will put it in the books, some of us our better with heights than others. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Amazing video.I used to live in loddon incredible dog walks around there as well as beautiful scenery ❤
Thank you! We can't wait to return and explore even more. We appreciate your kindness and support. Have a great week. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Wow! Almost felt like a spiritual journey. A pilgrimage perhaps. Pilgrims revisiting home for a little while.Thankyou for inviting us along.
It was so fun to be able to share with you all. Thank you for your time watching and commenting. We appreciate it! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
The hedges provide a very important habitat for birds and smaller animals like hedgehogs and field mice etc.
Indeed they do. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Your uploads appeared on my feed, not sure why, but I'm glad they did. I've just subscribed, sorry I was a bit late but I've checked out a lot of your uploads and really enjoy them. Love your compassion for animals too.
Welcome aboard! Glad you have enjoyed. Cheers, Chris
@@DaydreamersBarn Thank you Chris, I'm Chris too. Live a bit further North in York, really enjoy your drives out and the villages around where you are staying.
Hi Jess, Love your videos and yes rent a narrow boat, they are easy to steer, the kids will love it too. In two months every tree is fully leafed and it'll be almost summer. Warmer weather is on the way! Happy Easter Jess/Chris/Collette/Shaun
I'm so glad you enjoy the videos, friend. Thank you so much for your continued love and support! I am about ninety nine percent sure that it is going to happen. We will get a video and share it with you all. Thank you for your time. Hope you had a lovely Easter as well. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
Another successful trip out Jess.
Thank you, dear friend! Hope you have a lovely week! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Chris we where taught to take our hats off when entering a church, I just thought I'd let you know.
Years ago when walking home from school, should ever a funeral pass by it would be "caps off lads". We would stand in a line with heads bowed, until the cortège passed. Can you believe such a world existed?
@@seanmc1351no it's not dont talk wet 😂 and don't go into a church its pointless
@@Tom-uv7ryThe first church looked quite interesting, seemingly restored from when it was unsafe to enter. I’m not a religious person myself but respect that others may be. Churches can be interesting architecturally and often contain valuable information about the local history of the place. If you personally don’t want to go into a church that’s fine, that others may want to, that’s fine too.
@@Tom-uv7ryWhat right do you have to tell others what to do or not do? What is pointless to you, may be very important to others.
There's always one condescending comment.
Omg that pheasant was not having any of it 😅. Thanks for the tour very enjoyable 😊❤
It was so good not to share with you all! I giggled and was so cute. Thank you for your kindness. Have a great week. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
your videos are marvelous. Places I have never been in the Uk, and had no idea about. Liked your videos of Wales, you really are worth following.
That means more than you know. Thank you for the kind words, watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Love this! I’m wondering if you guys have discovered the randomness of Berney Arms Station?
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, friend! That's a good possibility. Just see them popping up randomly now. Thank you for your comment and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
The pub on the bridge just past acle is lovely in the summer I’m in Norwich
That sounds like a good place to check out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
I'm just learning to love you two. This was a great episode. Love from Scotland. Och aye the noo.
Ah, thank you so much! We definitely appreciate your time watching our video of us exploring. We thank you for your love and support! Have a lovely day. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
I'm a Fenn Man, born in Wisbech, lived in Upwell & have family still in the area from Downham to March to Welney. The Broads over by Wroxham are beautiful during the Summer, George Formby's old Summer house is on the Wroxham Broads and the Broad cruises boats go right past it. While in Norfolk check out the beaches from Hunstanton (Hunstun), Snettisham (Snetshum) to Wells-Next-The-Sea. The beaches are sandy & huge
We have seen a little bit of it, but we plan on seeing more this summer. Thanks for the suggestion, watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Our family will be heading over the Lincolnshire wolds, in July over to Skegness for aholiday break, its a beautiful drive love Norfolk too been a couple of times and York which is 30 mins from home ❤
Sounds like great fun! I hope you have the most amazing family holiday. Thank you for watching and leaving us a comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
You are lucky living in such a beautiful part of the country. Where I live in England you would be forgiven for thinking it's a different country. No countryside to speak of and roads and traffic an absolute nightmare. And no, it's not London!
Thank you. We're very blessed. Hopefully, our videos can show you some lovely places. Thank you for your comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
hapy easter two you four keep in up great video guys i love the music in the back ground
Ah, thank you so much! We appreciate your continued support. We absolutely love using RUclips music! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Lovely relaxing background music to your videos.

If you had put your foot down on the gas pedal, you could have had pheasant pie instead of steak. Lol. Pheasant oops I mean pleasant video. Salutations from Halifax, West Yorkshire.UK.
It was just so cute. It just wanted to give us a tour, right? It was too good not to share with you all. I hope you were able to get a giggle with us. Thank you for your support, friend. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
Hi Jess & Chris, we enjoyed your video, if you want to explore the Norfolk Broads more you should try Wroxham for boat trips and boat hire, one of the best places to start. Also Jess, we've noticed you like Jacket potatoes, you should try McCains frozen ready baked jacket potatoes from the supermarket, we eat them all the time, we've become McCain jacket junkies ha ! just pop them in the microwave for a fast tasty meal, only around £3.70 for a box of 4 jacket potatoes, best wishes x
Thank you so much, and I'm definitely going to be checking out Wroxham for the tours. Thank you so much for the jacket.Potato recommendation I will look for those next time shopping. Thank you for the lovely support and recommendations! Have a lovely day. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
Good trip guys.
Wife and I have rented a broads cruiser and had a lovely short break .
We live in Ipswich so its fairly local to us.
Wroxham is the main rental basin with srveral companies
We chose a sliding coach roof boat rather than one with a flying bridge as if the weather's good it gives you a really big open air lounge area .
They do rent small day boats for last minute picnic outings .
Narrow boats are more common on canals than the broads which we have also done Grand union is a nice not too far canal and the Bisworth tunnel is interesting to navigate.
Safe journeys
Lee and Christine
Hello Lee and Christine,
We truly appreciate your lovely comment. I will definitely look into the rentals. Thank yoi for the recommendation. We will take you all along when we return for our fun cruise through The Broads! We hope you all have the most amazing week. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
You will want to check out Castle Acre and priory. Not too far from you and our favourite to explore 👍🏻
We have added it to the list. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
😅 Loved the interaction with the little strutting pheasant.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was too good not to share with you all. We appreciate your support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
I often go to Fairhaven as it’s just a few minutes down the road for me. I could write you a whole list of recommended places round here for you! x
How cool! That was such a wonderful walk.And we could have stayed way too long. We love exploring and are looking forward to taking the boat tour. I can not wait for their paddle board tours. We appreciate your kindness and support. Have a lovely day! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
BY ending placenames are said like BEE all over Britain. Not a typical name ending in Norfolk, as it is a name from the Dane period as it is a typical Norse place name ending. Most of the BY names are in Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, some east Midlands, where most of the Dane influence was.
Thank you so much for your kindness and insight. We really appreciate your time. Thank you so very much. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x
A good place to explore the Broads on foot is Ranworth Broad and Cockshoot Broad.
Fab, thank you for the recommendation. Appreciate your time watching. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Great video 👍 As you said the back roads are less travelled check out a fellow American Vicegrip garage as he takes the back roads of the USA 😊
We absolutely appreciate your time watching and enjoying us taking this adventure. Thank you for the tip, I will find him on RUclips now. We appreciate you. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Lovely part of the world.
We are definitely getting out as much as we can to explore and appreciate it all. Thank you for your comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
CHRIS, the word for birds of prey is 'raptor', derived from Latin ,it's a Latin word, meaning 14:53 birds grasp or hold and drag away.
Thanks, friend! Cheers Cheers 🍻
Great video journey
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you, friend, for all the wonderful support. We appreciate your time and kindness. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
The pheasant you followed was male bird the female birds are smaller and have mainly brown feathers.
Yes, it was, but there was one in the field that we passed and one very small one on the right-hand side that we also passed, and I think those were both females. But I'm not quite sure. We appreciate your time watching. Thank you so much for your comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Its so sad that so many people just stay in London and miss all this beauty.
We agree. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Small road masters, it will soon be spring.
We are looking forward to even more beautiful spring flowers and summer coming soon. I hope you have a lovely week, friend. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
Audio sounded ok to me, thanks for the videos.
Fab, thanks for letting me know. The new microphones will arrive this week. I hope it will help. We appreciate your time and support! Have a lovely day. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
A very nice video.
Thanks! We appreciate your kindness and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x
As a Churchwarden of a (modern) Church I appreciate the enormous problem communities with the upkeep of these ancient Churches. The Church of England has massive resources, it's true, but even more massive obligations. The Government gives us little support in looking after one of the greatest collections of mediaeval buildings in the world.
You should learn how to identify the age of what you're looking at; once you have established that a piece of the building is not Victorian - mediaeval looks more battered - you can sort the pieces into centuries. E.g. the main window in the first Church looks Decorated Period to me, and therefore may well be 14th century.
Much of the administration of the Church of England is laid down by the law of the land. Rightly, there is strict law regulating repairs and modifications to Churches, and Committees with top architects have to advise. All church parishes have to have Parochial Church Councils (PCCs), and Churchwardens, as well as clergypeople, and they have to get clearance for work by a Faculty.
Do you have any bluebell woods near you? Certain ancient woods are carpeted with these flowers, which will soon be in bloom. They are a must-see.
Thank you for sharing. Wish we could save them all from ruin they're all so magnificent! Feels like a
Walking into a time capable.
I have found a bluebell woodland and will be sharing the video very soon. Thank you for your kindness and time sharing with us. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
it will be a river boat you rent not a narrow boat, i always use Richardsons boats at Stalham
Fabulous, thank you so much! We appreciate your time watching. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
😂 that bloody pheasant. I had a hare running up the road in front of me the other day, it must have run a mile before it decided to run into the field.
It was so funny not to share with you all. We appreciate all your support! Have a great week. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

Birds of Prey.
Raptors?
Fabulous, thanks, friend! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
How butifull is England
Very.
Women were required to wear a hat in church because their hair and other features of their upper face, especially the eyes could be distracting. Some High Churches also mandated a veil!
It is crazy to think what was the norm not so long ago. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Where is that beautiful place?
It is Norfolk South East England.
The walk was at Fairhaven Woodlands and Garden. Here is their information.
