Another great video Neil 👍. Portleven reminds me of the coastal villages and towns in Wales. Similar building 🏫 material. Those houses 🏘️ looking down on the harbor are lovely. Well looked after. The institute on the harbor arm looks like a church. It's gorgeous and people should 😁 more 😃. That tune again at the end. 👍👍
Someone shouted at me the other day for using that song at the end of a video 😂🤣
@@GimbalWalkTV It makes me realize that every day is new and you don't know what's around the corner. After loosing mum, it makes me positive to move on. 🤞👍
I am English but living overseas i do have to agree with you.
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much, we stayed in the house next to the Ship inn, it's a fab place and so wild when the tide is in, it's quiet here but in the space of 20 mins when we got there a dog fight occured and they were screaming for it to stop. A seagull was in distress in the sea and a man had a bad turn and we had to wait with him untill the ambulance came😳😳😳💙
Thanks for the peaceful stroll and tour. It made my day (Today’s my 71st birthday). I grew up in a small town by the sea, and this all brings back memories of kids running and grownups working, always surrounded by the sounds and fragrances of the sea.
😅lucky enough to live in area beautiful especially out of season ❤️❤️
Beautiful. But what's in the water that's staining the rocks? We noticed it in Polperro as well 🤔
Not sure - it seems to be a thing in Cornwall for sure!
Hi Neil great video as always have you ever thought about going to Guernsey my family used to live there never been myself and Portsmouth think it's about 20 mins away from Gosport in Hampshire
Love your channel, but can you please subtitle in the youtube thing? Not hard subs. I also wish the music could go. Just want to chill and watch the lovely view
Thanks for watching
