Really, really awesome and amazing. I love the way you bring us to where you are! Thank you!
A pleasure to hear from you AW, we'll be popping by to your channel too soon to see what's new! All the best to you.
Everyone in the Cork city seems to be relaxed!!😍😍 Nice weather to walk!! Thank you for sharing this my friend!!❤👍👍
Hello there J M. Ah quite so, we thought the same! Thanks for taking the time to connect friend.
Great tour, I really enjoyed it bringing back many memories, the newspaper was the former Evening Echo, now The Echo
Morning Kev, pleased to bring some memories of this lovely city back to you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Ah The Echo! All the best to you.
fascinating video!
Thanks for sharing. Like 30👍
As a fan of yours, I look forward to other videos to watch🙂
Hi WG, I'm glad you enjoyed it. All the best to you.
Oh ha ha Mike, I didn't know about the giant kingfisher 7:17, you are wonderfully bonkers!
Well, I think it's good to warn the public about such matters ;)
Thank you. Wonderful video, the narrative is much appreciated!
Thanks for dropping by James, pleased to bring this lovely city to your door, I'm glad you enjoyed it. All the best to you.
Hi again Mike 😊 !! Thanks for this delightful walk n talk in Cork City, very good. Thanks also for doing your ‘home work’, and being fully prepared to point out so much detail, background history and highlights. I’m glad you got such a bright still day for this extensive walk 🚶♀️🍂☀️. Cheers, Don 👋 !
Hi there Don, why thank you, I'm happy to know it's been enjoyed, we certainly loved the city. Thanks too for your recent Enchanted Forest, Pitlochry film, Yvonne would very much love that, I know!
Apparently the practice of burying butter in peat bogs goes back 3500 years. And yes, there's some butter in the Cork museum that's over 1000 years old. (Big doubts about whether it's still edible though.)
Ah, what a star - thanks LYM! Have you been there yourself?
Ah, whats the worst that could happen.
Would be a privilege to taste regardless 😅
Here at a US Costco, I just bought "Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter, Salted, 8 oz, 4-count" for $14.50. I bought three boxes ($43.50 total). That will tell you how much we like Irish Butter! Of course, we like almost anything Irish. We'll be in Ireland this June with our two sons and their 4 kids (our grandkids). This will be our 2nd visit to Ireland. Our 1st visit was 23 years ago.
Hello there Greg, a pleasure to receive your message. Wow "Kerrygold butter at $14.50, you really must love it, you'll have to go home with a suitcase full!
Hope you have a great time in Ireland this June with all the family, I'm sure there's been many changes in those 23 years but I'm you'll all love it. Don't forget a pint of 2 of Murphy's in a town pub and a listen to some great Irish music!
Hope you and your family have a wonderful time here, maybe you’ll visit Cork, don’t forget to visit Curraghkippane graveyard that I mentioned in my earlier comment, cool to say you were in the graveyard that renowned for the shortest and longest funeral 🇮🇪😘
Mmm...Kerry Gold! Got ¨a few¨sticks in the frig right now.
Thanks for letting me experience some great sightseeing in Ireland!
Thanks for the visit and for connecting, all the best to you friend. We enjoy your walks too!
Watching this for Vancouver and spotted my dad off to work 😂
No way!
Thanks for the great tour of my home town. I have worked abroad for many years and always recommend that people visiting Ireland go to Cork City and County.
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope we've done your lovely home town justice.
Very good explanation good video full of features💙
Thank you friend, good of you to drop by. Thanks for your recent Napoli footage too. It was enjoyed!
Only been once with Irish side of family but enjoyed it and felt more relaxed than in Dublin.
Glad you enjoyed it @Intotheweehours20 and interesting to hear you felt more relaxed than in Dublin. Thanks for dropping by.
Hello there Mike!! What a nice surprise, a narrated walking tour! I'm just loving it (didn't watch it all yet); you give so many interesting facts while you're walking, and lead the viewer into a much more intense awareness about the place you're walking in. Loved the market tour starting at 19:05. This is a very nice feature you're bringing into your channel. And it makes me wonder if I should try something similar as well :) Let's see!! I hope you are both well, and I hope I can be in touch more often. Sending you best wishes from Porto! :) and well done!
Hello there our lovely friend Pedro, Glad you enjoyed it... what a pleasure to hear from you. I have a grand idea! We could have a zoom chat sometime and record ourselves respectively and then run the chat/interview in the background of one of your Lisbon walks as if we are there together! Been thinking about that for a while and I reckon it'd work really well and be lots of fun. What do you think? Shall we chat more? Maybe private message us either way. Hope you're having a great time in Porto, look forward to seeing the footage. Maybe that colab' re' Madeira might be poss' too?
@@LivingWalks Oh wow!! This sounds stunning to me. Yes, let's chat about this! It sounds exciting. I have several performances / rehearsals here, but I'll be able to reply. Whatsapp? :)
Could be fun eh Pedro! just private message us with your whatsapp and we can chat more there eh?
Love Cork.. Know most of what you've shown.. Such fond memories..
Thanks for dropping by Vincent, we do agree it's a great city, happy to have brought a memory or two back to you
top country,top tour!
Thanks E, glad you thought so! Good to hear from you.
Thanks Mike (& the youthful Yvonne!) ☺
I'm so glad I got to see this & it's such a contrast from Madeira!
I can't believe how much Cork has changed since it's been well over 10 years since I last properly set foot there, & job well done with your knowledge of the place as you more than likely did as well as a local, if not better with explaining things!
I'd definitely go for Murphy's or Beamish over Guinness any day given the choice, but poncha will always win lol!
You've inspired me now to do a walking tour of my adopted hometown of Kilkenny, but that probably won't be until next year now, however I did create a few vlogs during the first lockdown using my phone on a gimbal before my Pocket 2 purchase.
Have a wonderful week my friends! 🤗
Morning Rue,
Interesting to hear how much Cork has changed since you last set foot there. Thanks for the feedback re' the narration, I know you know it's a lot of work but fun to do.
Ummm Beamish or poncha now there's a tough choice!
Happy to have inspired you to do a walking tour of your adopted hometown of Kilkenny next year. We've been thinking of doing a colab' or two with our youtube friends in the form of an interview over zoom where we record ourselves (and then we'd add that to a walk in their home town), so if you fancy having a play, just drop us a line? I'm sure there's fun to be had with it. All the best to you mate.
@@LivingWalks That idea of yours would be splendid indeed! Might be an idea for sometime in 2023!
@@RuePhoto Great, let's be in touch in the New Year, all the best mate.
Au revoir! Great effort!! Your channel is getting ridiculously well. Feels good to watch this today. The whole length of this video is well arranged
Glad you enjoyed walking in lovely Cork with us louisjinhui1, it's a pleasure to hear from you. Thanks for taking the time to connect. Hope to bring many more to you. All the best to you.
I went for dinner at a friend´s house in Tougher and was told it meant "bog". That makes so much more sense now.
Yes, who'd have thought it. Thanks for dropping by, hope you enjoyed the 'meander' (which is a river in Turkey I believe).
Such a great video. So informative! Love it 😍
How nice to hear that you enjoyed it. Thanks for dropping by.
Thanks very much. I was going to go to Belfast, but now looking at a few videos from Cork I think I'll go to Cork instead. I'm from Galway.
Thanks for taking the time to drop by, we’re pleased to know it’s been enjoyed, it’s good to bring a little bit of this lovely place to your door. Hope you enjoy it for real. All the best to you and Happy new year.
Love the new video style!
Glad you like it our lovely friends! Look forward to spending time with you soon.
Wow, I'm just going off to watch some paint drying, more interesting 😂😂
Ha ha, you say the nicest things Ambassador!
Born in the USA but raised in Cork! Ballincollig to be exact.....My Father however was born in 10 Prosperity Square in 1921. I loved growing up in Cork/Ballincollig......Do they still have the "Echo Boys"? The young lads selling the "Evening Echo". Brown Thomas used to be Cashs of Cork when I lived there.
Hello there Veronica, How nice to have been able to bring a little of your home town back to you. Regarding still having the "Echo Boys" you might be interested to read about it here: www.echolive.ie/nostalgia/arid-41032628.html Thanks for dropping by.
@@LivingWalks OMG! The Holly Bough!!! After we moved back to the USA, Every year my father had a friend who used to send that to him here in the USA and my father would then pass it on to me when he was done reading it. Over the last few years unfortunately both my Father and his friend have passed on and I so miss reading it every Christmas. Do you know how I can have the publication sent to me here in the USA??? Thanks in advance!
There is only one Echo boy left in Cork outside the Post office in Oliver Plunket street
NICE.....!!!!
Thanks Валентин!
@@LivingWalks Thank you too,my friend.....I love Ireland because I lived and worked for a long time for this wonderful country.....Greetings from Pomorie city Black Sea coast ,Bulgaria, and me
I enjoyed that, that was good
Thanks for dropping by to let us know you enjoyed it macker33. Do hope you get to visit sometime, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. All the best to you.
@@LivingWalks I visit it every day
Oh ha ha @@macker33 I see. Very nice too!
My great grandmother Helena Curry we believe hails from Cork.
I can see how it might have a place in your heart Pete.
Great video
Thanks for the visit and for connecting, all the best to you Kuja.
You might like to know that the shortest and the longest funeral in history was to Curraghkippane cemetery Ballysheehy about 5k outside the city, the shortest was cemetery employee who lived in the cottage in the cemetery grounds, and the longest was a Cork sailor who died on board the ship that he worked on they were off the coast of South America and because of commitments to their itinerary they had to sail westward to return home, very interesting story done you agree, greetings from a local Corkman🇮🇪☘️😘
Good morning to you Jimmy, what a pleasure to receive your message. How intriguing to hear that both the shortest and the longest funeral in history was in Ballysheehy. I wish we had of met you on my walk, I'd have loved to have chatted to you and to have incorporated your stories! Thanks so much for taking the time to be in touch and best wishes to you.
@@LivingWalks Hi again, Jimmy here, a few items that you might Google about Interesting stories about Cork.the Pike family and Sir Henry Hayes. And the moving graveyard of Matehy Co Cork
An original Pennys. Thanks for showing us.
Thanks for watching Pete, you're really welcome.
Fantastic commentary tour of Cork. Is it possible to know which month this video video taken in..
Hi there Jasveer, I seem to remember we filmed in March, pleased you enjoyed it.
It still is a marsh and if you look at old geological maps it runs under The Grand Parade and South Mall. Cobh (Queens Town) was the last port of call of the Titanic. Would have been nice for your talk about the history to have continued after the Vikings!
Hello there Lore Delore, thanks for your insights... and yes we'll have to go back and do part 2 when we can. Thanks for dropping by.
Enjoyed it very much. Thank you. Love the Opera House.
Pleased you did Pete.
i miss my coty havent been in since the virse 😂❤
I hope you get to go return again sometime and this helps bring you a little closer in the meantime. All the best to you.
My mother's birth land haven't been yet looks ace
Hope that happens for you Angie, I'm sure you'll love the city.
There's a documentary on RUclips about the paper Boys from Cork.
God bless you brother ❤
And the same to you @sakshikelshikar3729, happy to bring a little of Cork to your door. All the best to you.
So "The Gingerbread House" in Paul´s Street is now Amicus. Interesting.
Quite so Robin!
👍
👍
Very breezy and lovely.
Thanks Pete.
I didn’t notice, did you date (which month), was your splendid video taken?
Thank you!
1/2 Irish ☘️ did you acquire citizenship?
Cork is Ireland's biggest county but is small enough to fit in a bottle!
I like your thinking!!
Its home for the cork man roy keane
Quite so Apinder!
Also home place of Denis Irwin
I wanna scream aloud as Im looking inside my future home, Cork. I married Irish and fell in LOVE with Spain and Spanish 5 years later. Escaping from retiring in the US, Ireland is my only real choice for citizenship. I don´t «dislike nor hate» Ireland, and Im particularly fascinated with Cork. In fact, if not for Cork I wouldn´t dare move to Ireland! I hate Dublin! What´s going to make Cork doable for me is friends. I yearn to make a friend who wants to learn Spanish and loves all things Spanish as I do. I look at the scene here in Cork and I feel PANIC. I´m from Orlando, Florida, the world´s capital tourist city of the entire planet, for reasons. What if I can´t do it? What if the weather in Ireland is too much? I don´t want to feel this way and anywhere without friend would feel exactly like this. All this, «you´ll be fine. You´ll love it» from him is just making it worse! Don´t BS me! That´s my motto.
Hey Pablo, having an Irish side to my family, I can say that the friendliness of the Irish people is going to more than make up for the weather. You can always head off to sunny Spain if you miss the heat - it's just a short hop and cheap flight away. But I think that the welcome you're going to feel when you move will really surprise you.
You get a rubbish summer every few years .....but no hurricanes/tornadoes.....
Having been to Orlando in January, I found the weather very hot....but im a cold creature .
Also we don't have any gators or any creature that will eat you.
@@annieroche22 Hey good folks, this is for all. I'm going to dedicate myself to loving Cork this December, as well as meeting all the wonderful people who already live there and have called it home for a long time. I am as well highly motivated to meet Spaniards in Cork and help them out in any way that I can. My body is Irish but, my heart and soul are Spanish. Great mix, by the way. One of the most successful and friendliest combos of Europe. Always find the beauty and you'll have no time for the rest. Orlando is FUN! Expensive. It will make our retirement possible so, nothing negative there. We own a house here. Florida has been my home for ¨a few years¨. Looking forward to meeting oil painters, artists, poets and folks interested in speaking Spanish and enjoying CORK and all the good it brings to the world. I teach Spanish for FREE.
Hate to say this but where are the Irish ,most were speaking a foreign language I would have liked to see the quay that the innisfallon used to drop us off long ago practically in the city
Thanks for taking the time to drop by with your view John. We do plan to do another walk, showing some of the places we are yet to walk. All the best to you.
is it ok to be black in cork ireland?
Hello PainkillerX, I don't think it's even a question as I'm sure it certainly is. All the best to you.
@@LivingWalks what about language barriers, do i have to learn a certain language or accent or will people understand bad english accent
Hi @@ClintonUwaibi well of course the more English you can speak the better, but we found people to be tolerant and helpful.
@@LivingWalks thanks i would be moving to Ireland soon from Nigeria, i like how calm everyone is there and the atmosphere is great, just there is no wide roads(how is someone supposed to drive a Bugatti on that lol) so yeah its a great country.
Ah very best of luck with that friend, I hope it all goes well for you.
Doing a two-week trip to Ireland with my wife. This video convinced me NOT to stop in Cork.
Oh righto!
Loved the tin whistle player.
Yes good of him to add a nice soundtrack for us eh?
I would have thought that Cork would have some of the cleanest air in Europe already - but the moss matts look interesting.
Yes we thought so too Pete!
Haha like the masters the universe joke!
Glad to amuse you Pete.
Goodness the old city wall.
Indeed!
Haha I am glad the kngfishers have become normal size now.
Yes, they must have been an unnerving sight eh?
Apparently my great grandother's parish was St Finbarres and ours in Melbourne is St Finbars!
Ah interesting!!!
RIP everyone lost on the Titanic. Very sad for all the poor Irish seeking a new life and trapped down below.
Quite so Pete, all quite unbelievable in our modern era.
Would like to see a little of what it was like in the 18th century.
Ah yes to be a time traveller!
@@LivingWalks Yes and that would have been when my great grandmother lived there. We suspect she left due to the potato famine.
By the power of Greyskull haha
Indeed Pete!
23.50 it cuts west to east , not north to south
Oh Thanks!!
Butter tastes better!
Ah yes, no margarine for us Pete.
I didn't realise even markets were divided by religion down here.
Well back in the day Pete, all was different!
They're not.
Time represents Saturn which is known as a liar. Catholic Ireland knew not to trust anything focussed on Saturn.
Oh righto!!
@@LivingWalks Well hope I am right! Is what I heard from an astrologer.
Lets do a Pub crawl! It'll Be fun @itllbefun
Thanks for the visit Alan and Leslie, indeed it would! See you in a few weeks!
