    Stunning aerial footage from your drone, Ian. it really shows Stow well. And...yes...I'll say it: great to hear a spot of narrating from you. Love the soundtrack, the historical narrative and the retail therapy tour of the town, Dara. We can recommend Huffkins tea room where we and a couple of friends once met for afternoon tea: excellent service. High quality stuff, too, in the charity shops around the corner. You picked a fine weather day for your visit, which enhanced an excellent video!

    Dara & Ian. Again a great video. Surprising to see you in “snow” as we have had two named storms this week. Earlier it was storm “Dudley” now we are at the closing of storm “Eunice”. Our storms are named by our Met Office and as with hurricanes are named alternately with male and female names. Storm Eunice was given a RED warning because of the high winds, the first in the 20 years that storms have been made. The Red warning covered S Wales and the SW of England, I think Cheltenham was just between the SW Red area and the London Red warning are but remains at an Amber alert. Luckily the severity of the storm has declined. I think you were lucky that the name of the first storm was male. It wouldn’t have been nice if it had been called “Dara”! The next to begin with I will be female so Ian gets an OK this time!

    Great video again. Would you say that Stow has gotten more touristy in the pandemic whilst everyone ‘stays in the U.K.?’ - just wondering as it looked as mental as Bourton in the first shots. Love that you had a pro photo in the door!! Great drone footage as always. We loved the old stocks! I’d have popped Wills in there!! Thanks for sharing once again. 🍻

      Wills looks like he occasionally needs a bit of a time out in the stocks ;-)
      I think that the Cotswolds and Cornwall and other touristy areas ended up with more British visitors than usual in 2020 and 2021... but certainly far fewer international ones! But also I'm sure tourism is down in general. So many places (like the lovely church here) were closed due to the pandemic. Thanks for watching!

    You filmed my favorite cheese Merry Wyfe!!!
    It's made from milk that isn't pasteurized so it can't be imported into the USA for sale here but it can be bought there and shipped here from The Cotswold Cheese Company website. It's a cider washed rind cheese so the cider is what makes for a Merry Wyfe.
    I love Stow despite it's tourist side.

      I know y'all aren't big alcohol drinkers but for those who are and happen to find themselves in Gloucestershire do yourselves a favor and buy Stinking Bishop cheese to go along with your Scrumpy.
      It'll be a lot easier to find the cheese but the unfiltered hard cider Scrumpy is something you have to buy and consume where it is made in the apple orchards.
