Oh, what can I say my friends, you have produced a brilliant and comprehensive tour of this ancient city with all its magnificent, important and essential history. You covered so much ground, and managed to include nearly everything - yes, I know, Chester Cathedral will be part of another video - super !!! :) Foe me, it brought back many childhood memories when my father, an academic historian dragged the kids around pointing out history easily missed - such as scrambling up the city wall, along the canal towpath to examine, at close quarters the Roman stonework that still exists in just a few places !!!!!!! An interesting point regarding the 'Tudor ' exterior timberwork - in Southern England the timber work was, for the most part left in it`s natural state, whereas in the Midlands and Northern England they were often oiled to create the more prevalent darker stain - but admittedly, in Chester, Victorian over enthusiasm perhaps made for some over the top exteriors :) Anyway, very, very well done - you will have the visitors flocking to Chester, I have no doubts :) Thank you, as always !!!
Thank you. Creating this video was a labour of love. I knew it would be long, but It was worth it to do justice to the city, so much history spanning the important parts of British history. Found the locals charming too, and despite being so close to Liverpool, Manchester and Wales, we were surprised by how neutral the accent was. Watching Daniel Craig should have been a clue; I can't place that accent. The Chester Cathedral video will appear in a while, we are heading off on a three-week trip around Spain later this week, and in late November, a trip to Germany is planned to pick up the Christmas Markets again. So, I'll have a ton of videos to create over the coming weeks and months. As always, thanks for the support; all the best as spring approaches you. Gary & Janis
