    We’ve been looking at some very interesting architecture in Norfolk, houses that look Dutch, very steep roofs and decorations around the roof. I need to investigate further, my interest has been piqued. Another reason to be proud of England, we have some fabulous different architecture. Thank you for this series, it has been fun and I love the new format and I’ve said before, you do an excellent voice over.

    Great last episode. Such a shame that this great series has come to an end, I've thoroughly enjoyed the mix of heritage, history and nature and a good dose of comedy. You and Julia make a good pair. Great to see Julia's brother and they were right thinking it was an elm, apparently the winged appearance of the bark is a characteristic of saplings - which sadly will succomb to the beetle when they get to about 10ft 🙁

    • @RichardVobes

    I love walking but have had trouble with cows - I don't like the way they look at me. A horse once tried to stop me walking across a field - it just stood there in front of the style I was trying to climb over. I pleaded with it nicely and it must have liked what I said and let me pass - it was a beautiful animal. Superb set of videos and I enjoyed watching them all!

    To answer you question, no I never get tired of seeing old buildings and houses, they give a sense of permanence and heritage, something most US homes don't have. Homes here only last until the next hurricane, or tornado, or wildfire, or flood. Ok enough reminiscing. Thank you for bringing us the glory of England. Yes, I know it has its good and bad.

    @shako1955 3 года назад

    Really enjoying the videos came here via the Esse stove review.
    The tree to me looks like Elm, all the hedges round here are full of them and many have branches with this strange shape. They don't succumb to the disease if they are kept at hedge height, once they get to 4 or 5 m then the little bugs that transmit Dutch elm seem to fly at this height and hit the tall ones who then succumb over the next 2-3 years, the elm then springs up from the roots again to be "marmalised" every time it gets too tall. When dry the wood burns really hot.

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  3 года назад

      Glad we were right about the Elm - thanks for watching!

    Oh noooooooo Richard, this has been one of your best videos up until 10.53 when you swore again using the word B----Y. We loved the humour and again one of the best videos ever. Julia your purple hair plaited is so pretty and your bag is gorgeous. We 100% agree that solar panels should be on the roof or every new building and especially installed on large areas like factories and supermarkets etc instead of in fields where they spray weed killer every where, killing all the insects.....it just doesn't make sense!!!!

    Thanks Richard and julia great series. Obviously a very lovely part of the country. Bit offended by seeing the motorbikes churning up and polluting the forest. Can't be legal and not sure why they think they are entitled to spoil it for others. Anyway rant over, superb landscape heritage and nature. Thank you
