    Robin, I just realized this morning, 2/3/2024, that I always feel like I come back home when listening to all your Cotswold videos. It brings me much joy and I’m deeply appreciative for your time and energy you put into all this wonderful stuff!!! Cheers!! Cary Cary

    Thank you so much for this series. I'm a UK citizen, currently resident abroad, and returning to the UK next year. Having the choice of where to locate ourselves, anywhere in the UK,, we've chosen The Cotswolds, but wasn't sure exactly where would suit us best. I've just spent the last 5 days driving around the villages, and getting an understanding of the area, and have relied heavily on the information in this series. As a result, thanks to your fascinating documentaries, we've identified our location, and are now in the process of moving to The Cotswolds, so thank you so much for the informative and enjoyable presentation - they were of enormous help in our decision making.

    Thank you so much for taking your time to present the Cotswolds to those of us who may never get to see it in real life. The one thing that struck me about all these lovely villages was there wasn't any litter. All of the streets were so clean. If only it were like that in the US. I never have understood why people think the outside space is their personal garbage can. You have a country to be proud of and I look forward to any place you would like to feature. Have a Blessed day.

    Have you considered expanding this idea to (for example) 'Hidden gens of Yorkshire' (my home county and, obviously, the best)? The basic concept is fantastic and the real, obvious love you have for the area, and your personal connection to it, is such a major reason why these programmes are so good!

      Hi David. You know we have thought about using our formula in other areas. It's an exciting thought doing "God's own county". It's full of fantastic houses and villages, but the big snag is I am such an old fellow it daunts me somewhat. Hopefully someone else will decide it's worthwhile doing what we are doing in other counties in England. Best wishes and keep watching, Robin.
