    Hello James & Helen
    Just recently discovered your show! Love it!!!
    I was born in Woolton Liverpool and lived down the road and around the corner where John Lennon lived (never saw him!)
    I emigrated with my family to Australia in 1965.
    I used to go to Llandudno on holidays as a kid with my family.
    I saw your show about Llandudno, but you and Helen never went up the Great Orme by Tram or by cable car. You missed out on a wonderful experience! Anyway, thank you for showing the lovely places around Yorkshire (never been there!)
    Kind regards,
    Lyn.

      I'm so sorry that we didn't go up the Great Orme! What a faux pas! Sorry about that. Would have loved to see it. We absolutely love Liverpool. Thank you for your lovely comment 😊

      What a lovely town and what lovely people, if only every town was like this wouldn't it be a better life for everyone.
      This goverment needs to get a grip grow some b...s sort out crime and lock these knife wielding scum up so we can all have a lovely existence like those beautiful people in Thirsk I'm sick of it.
      Sorry for the rant james but I get angry when I see what we could all have with a gov willing to do something about it.
      Well done pal for the vlog of tranquility it gave me an escape of madness for 30 min❤❤❤❤

    Enjoyed that. Number of times I've travelled through Thirsk on way to Dales/Lakes and can't remember stopping there. I must make the effort.
    Walked along the escarpment from Sutton Bank car park to the airfield where the gliders take off. The views are brilliant and it takes you, via approx 100stone steps if I remember rightly, down to a car park below the white horse.

    When you filmed in the van at the beginning, you looked to be looking off to the side a little, maybe looking at the screen and not the camera..but when you filmed in the van after your lunch, you were defo looking straight at the camera (us) ..thought it was my eyes at first..anyhow thought I’d tell you incase you’d not noticed n wanted to change it..if not I’m waffling for nothing 🤣😂🤣😂
    Praise God for you cheering our days up 🌈✝️🕊️😘🥰😍😇 x x x miss Helibobs though x x x but you do great on your own too x x x

    Great video James I think the horse on the hill is a great place got some great memories of going there often when I was a lass. You could actually play on it years ago but then I think the English heritage got hold of it & stopped people going on it to preserve it…….

    Thanks James, I really loved this one …makes me want to come up norf and have a nosey!!
    I think the little town had a lot to offer, I’m not interested in the Vet thingy but loved the other museum and all those charity shops❤️❤️I would be in heaven 😂🙄
    Church was interesting too but I don’t really like it when people feel the need to talk to you when you are alone….its not that I’m an unfriendly person but I like to do my own thing and after chatting for a few mins it’s time to move on!!! That’s not normal is it ?
    Do you think I need help😮😅 and can you recommend a shrink!!!
    Love these kind of blogs ….we see things that we would probably never see so thank you ….and no i wouldn’t sit in that chair (you never know)

    We go to Thirsk 2 or 3 times a year and always stay at the old oak. Literally everything on the menu is top notch and the accommodation is mega.
    Crab and Lobster is a must visit too.
    And finally . . . . . if you like Terry Hall, checkout his collaboration with Dave Steward under the group name "Vegas". I reckon you'll love it.
    Much love big fella x

    One of the best bits of your vlogs is the music you add. I loved that music going in to Herriot museum. No he’s not my cuppa but we learn as we go. Looks like a Norman church. I love those knitted things as part of some group for thirsk. Whoever made that wood thing over the font 🤷‍♀️ was it? Anyway, must have done a few hours carving that. One of the cities you made me want to visit was Newcastle. I never got a good look at it years ago when I went. Thanks for sharing…. Very quiet where you are today. People doing those carvings today would be called vandals lol. Go get food now… enjoy!

    James, I too have been having dpf troubles with my diesel ford car. I was interested in the Carly device in your promotion so I took a look. I was put off after realising that although the device is actually free, you would be paying a yearly subscription in excess of £50. Your discount code only applies to the first year too. So, BUYER BEWARE, be careful and read everything before making your purchase. Also, I live near Haworth. So a heads up of your intended visit date would be good. I may see you there. 😊
