    @RAinteractive 9 months ago +12

    I'm a 68 year Brit woman who used to enjoy treks in the US and Canada when I was younger. The wonderlust has gone, but I've really enjoyed watching you seeing Britain for the first time, especially in places like The Cotwolds and countryside all around England.
    It's good to know the hospitality is normally good, as is the food, and I'm sorry for the rare occasions when you've been let down. I'd like to suggest you one day walk the South Downs Way. I live right on the coast between Brighton and Portsmouth and there is so much to see here. You are a shining example of how open and educated you are, and will to learn all about the world. It's shock me to realise very few Americans even have a passport. Here's to more enlightenment.

    • @sarabazlinton9820
      @sarabazlinton9820 9 months ago +2

      @RAinteractive I’m in the same area as you as I live in Worthing, and absolutely agree Joel should walk the South Downs way. My parents did this in 1993 when they were younger than I am now (I’m 60 next month) and they loved it. They started in Eastbourne, finishing in Winchester rather than most people who do it the other way. My brother lived in Brighton at the time, so for the first part of the route they stayed with him, he’d drop them off in the morning at the start point, and pick them up at the end of each day, then as they progressed, they stayed with me and I dropped them off and collected them at the end of the day. If I had someone to walk it with, I’d love to do it myself.

    • @RAinteractive
      @RAinteractive 9 months ago

      @sarabazlinton9820 shows what a small world it is really - Worthing it is :)
      Some American friends did the walk, staying at pubs along the way - you know Amberley and so on - they loved it and all the pub grub.

    • @anenglishlife7210
      @anenglishlife7210 9 months ago

      I'm in Hailsham and I walk on my part of the South Downs Way - Alfriston and the Wilmington Long Man carved into the hillside..it's all ancient and very beautiful.

    • @franwhite5371
      @franwhite5371 9 months ago

      I’d like to second that. The Weald of Sussex is in between the north and South Downs and has a fascinating history. There are many smallish stately homes eg Heaver Castle, a moated Manor House, childhood home to Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII second wife, beheaded. Walk along the South Downs for wonderful views. Visit Lewes, where November 5th, Guy Fawkes is celebrated in style. Bonfires have been used for centuries as celebrations or, if on the hills (beacons), such as Ditchling beacon, warnings of raids. Many small villages and beautiful buildings.

    Aww, good luck in your final year, Joel. You're a young man I would be proud to call my son. You remind me very much of my own son who I am also very proud of. He's a middle child between two sisters and his view of the world is very, "Live and let live." All of my kids are curious about the world, but he is the most open to taking people as they come and enjoying our differences, as long as they're respectful of all. My daughters are less so for some reason maybe because they're first born and last born. They can both be a bit precious 😅
    Anyway, I hope you get to Wales to enjoy Cymru soon. Croeso y Cymru (Croy-so ee come-ree) is "Welcome To Wales". Its a beautiful country especially where I live in The Vale Of Glamorgan which is mostly farm land rivers ans coast line.

    The chicken salt was invented by a fast food shop owner-operator who used it on the chicken he sold. They call it chicken salt, but there was never any chicken in it. It is for sprinkling on chicken. It goes well on many other foods too.

I am now as retired as much as an electrician can. I m now seventy two years old but I still get asked if I can look at things for people. It at least stops the old brain from getting rusty. You have to come to Australia sometime. You have visited the rest you need to visit the best. Keep well and thank you for your hard work.

    Joel,
    Big announcement finishing up your college years in a couple of months. Do yourself a favor and I know things are rushed, and everything and everybody is at hectic pace toward the end of school and finals. Take some pictures/selfies of the people and friends you made over your school years before your classes end. You will appreciate these pictures and memories of these people who touched and shared these years with you as you get older too.
    Watched you grow-up these last nearly four years now and please take time to take all this in and enjoy these remaining days you have in college. You will look back fondly on this time in your life. Congrats and look all you have accomplished in your young life.
    Thank-you. Will

    Love what you said about your Welsh mug, you are spot on too, well done! However the CYMRU says Wales but in Welsh not English, it is pronounced kimroo! I have been learning a little Welsh myself as I have always adored the place since founding out I had a Welsh Grandma and visiting the tiny village she was born in, such a tough life for her too! Put this on your MUST places to visit (view on You Tube first) Port Merrion, there was a cult hit TV series called The Prisoner filmed here in the 60s, stunning Spanish village in the middle of Wales. For a castle with a difference Gwyrch is probably my fave, yea I know the history but the view of this place built across the mountain side is stunning. South Stack lighthouse on Anglesey stunning too. You need a long time for Wales !!! You lucky man !

    Hi Joel, the Touch of Frost series is really good. Its very funny in places whilst retaining the drama element. It was acrually filmed in a few places in Yorkshire. Primarily Leeds and surrounding suburbs but also Castleford where i am originally from. The location vehicles used to be around the small rown regular in the 90's and early 2000's. I was working in the shopping centre one year and they filmed outside our store. It was great to watch David in action. In between takes he would go into different stores and talk to the assistants. You are very much loved Joel as you bring so much entertainment to so many. Good luck with your finals and i hope we will see you back in York.this summer. ❤
