PLEASE keep showing us the graveyards! So fascinating! And Bex! Your hexi cardigan is coming out beautifully! I just finished one and absolutely love it! Thank you so much for sharing your craft (and the wool 😁😁). Hugs and thanks from Alabama US!
Bex's I can't wait to see the hexi cardigan done. Love watching DeNiro's zoomies. Love all the history, veiws and charity shops. Thank you Iian and Bex for sharing. I love y'alls new channel Places for the past. Have a blessed week.
Scones, a graveyard, history, charity shops, dogs, ginger cat and crochet! My kind of video!! 😀 Cardi looks good Bex. Gorgeous colourway. You can NEVER have too much yarn 😉 I may have yelled " It's a HOOK" at the screen lol
I recall from earlier video the storm's that were rolling through your area. Yep, damage does take time to repair. Those steps may take awhile! Enjoyed the show, thank you!
Oooh, giraffes would be cool. Nothihg sayd Cambridge like a Giraffe :O) I remember being in Bristol when the Grommit trail was on, so wanted to take one of them home.
I live in Kennoway, it's a shame to see how bad Leven has got over the years. I think the new railway will be taking folk away instead of bringing tourists in. Silverburn and the beach is still nice though. I envy Bex being able to crochet, it's a skill I just cant get the hang of lol
Hi Lorraine- it will be interesting to see how much the new rail line to Leven will be used. I used RUclips videos to learn how to crochet but I’m a much better knitter than crocheter!
Ever since your Methil video I,'ve checked out a few more. The commando memorial at Spean Bridge , holds a special place in my heart. My Di knew a few of those guys. AT the time of Scapa Flow Gunther Prien was considered the best U boat commander by Admiral Doenitz . My Granddad served in WW! and in WW2 he was a POW camp Sergeant. A U boat officer pained his portrait in watercolours it was stunning the guy wrote hos name,rank and where he came from in Germany.
Wow, that’s cool. I was working in Orkney a lot of years ago and got a bit obsessed with Prien’s story. Wonder what difference it would make to the outcome if the Grand Fleet had been in when he attacked.
@@scotlandonashoestring In 1955 my Dad was in the Black Watch and served in Berlin . He was a corporal and guarded Doenitz and Hess. in Spandau Prison. My pals Dad did the same duty in 1960, both of them hated Hess. He reported my Dad for smoking on duty . lol
I thoroughly enjoyed your commentary. I haven't heard your delightful Scottish burr since your last visit to Willy & Sarah on the Isle of Skye. I've got some catching up to do. 😁
Nice wool colours. I like cardigans. You can get them off without messing your hair. It’s sad to see the down town so bleak. I visited the town I spent my teens in a few years ago and haven’t gone back. The great shops have parted and left only shopping malls by the highway. Being northern Ontario, there weren’t any ancient graves either. Where are you going to visit next week? I’ll be tuning in for sure.
Just loving catching up with your video diaries and observations. As an incomer to my wife's birthplace and your current place of abode, I see it in a slightly different light to you. It is about thirty years behind my place of birth and I see a lot of the regeneration pains in Levenmouth today that my place of birth has gone through. Love the charity shops - you can tell a lot about the area you are in by the quality ( or not ) of the donations in the shops. I cite St Andrews in Fife and Alcester and Stratford upon Avon in Warwickshire. as perfect examples of the best. I am not going to be foolish enough to declare the worst, but you do get an inkling when you walk up the respective High Streets. Now, graveyards! I find them peaceful places despite the awful fates of some of the interred. A great source of local information and local history if you are inclined to check further. My wife does genealogy and we have visited a number of graveyards to corroborate her investigations and invariably we wander about to search the other nooks and crannies for snippets of local history. I am not a lover of scones on their own, but add them into an afternoon tea and then - well! You already may know I have a penchant for chip shops but if you ever want a second opinion on Cullen Skink then just say the word. Keep up the good work. You have a unique slant on your travels and observations. I find it both refreshing and quirky.
We think the north of England, both coasts, have the best charity shops. Found some real treasure there :) Graveyards are an incredible source of info, days lost googling stories we’ve found in some remote cemetery :)
Oooh. Best scones. That is quite a claim! You two are up to the challenge of trying many scones to see who you feel is the true winner. Okay. Now I need to bake some scones...but minus an entire pot of jam when serving. LOL
You asked about the Draughts World Championship. I got curious if that actually is checkers, which it is, and did the championships are actually still held! Looks like they're every 2 years in France. There's a list of all the world champions on Wikipedia. What's funny is the championships didn't start until 1885, 5 years before this guy died. What's even more comical is I could not find that his name anywhere on that list!
Go to Moffat Ian! I'd love to see a walk about there. I live in Virginia in the U.S. and my name is ............wait for it................. Dave Moffatt!
DeNiro has grown from a shy and a bit fearful greyhound to a confident, happy pup.
And a bit of a stroppy teenager to boot :)

There's plenty more graveyards to explore, I don't think we'll be stopping any time soon.
Wonderful episode! Thank you all very much! 😊🥰💞💜👍

Thanks as always for the kind words.
Graveyards hold history and charity shops are great. I enjoy your videos. Crochet items are so very lovely.
Glad you like them!

Pfft, hook, needle, same thing ;)
@@scotlandonashoestring 😂 no comment!
Hopefully, we get to see the completed crochet project! I enjoyed the entire video, but the cemetery was probably my most favorite part.
We do love the cemeteries
I recall from earlier video the storm's that were rolling through your area. Yep, damage does take time to repair. Those steps may take awhile! Enjoyed the show, thank you!
Thanks !! The storms do seem to be getting more violent and more frequent. Keep checking the roof to see if it's still there.
I LOVE a little library! A charity one is ever better ❤
Postie is fab! Cambridge has had painted cows in the past and we're about to get giraffes!
Oooh, giraffes would be cool. Nothihg sayd Cambridge like a Giraffe :O) I remember being in Bristol when the Grommit trail was on, so wanted to take one of them home.

One of my bucket list cemeteries (yes, i have a list) is in Ontario :)

Ginger cat was clearly in invisibility mode.😮😊
He's so sure of himself, DeNiro would love to go for a play with him :)

Challenge accepted !! (but yes, too much jam)

There is a (very) niche website that talks about him. Think it's the Glasgow Draughts club or something like that.
Oh my gosh. Pocket dragons I couldn't believe it when I saw them. I have quite a collection of them.
I sold most of mine, ran oout of space and it was them or the lego ;)
You should go to Tayport and check out the Auld Kirk cemetery also MacDuff cemetery.
We've been to MacDuff for our "graveyards only" channel at @placesforthepast. The Charles Rennie Mackintosh headstone is very imposing.
Aye I checked out caves and castles vid. I’ll check your other channel out. Tayport Auld Kirk is well worth a look.
Go to Moffat Ian! I'd love to see a walk about there. I live in Virginia in the U.S. and my name is ............wait for it................. Dave Moffatt!
Funny you should say that Dave. It’s on the list, we love Moffat… not just because of the best sweet shop ever!
@@scotlandonashoestring OUTstanding! 😁👍
My money's on the ginger moggy.
That's the problem with cats and greyhounds.. the greyhound is faster and has no concept of teeth and claws.
