Beautifully done Stuart and the narration is excellent. I can't imagine how long this must have taken to put everything together. So much has changed since I left in 1973, but the charm of the town has remained.

Born in Portwey hospital in March 1964, and here on and off for 50 of those years. I have so many friends that have moved here and call it home, it makes me appreciative of my birth place 😊

I've been all around the world. I have been here four years and I know that I will die here. So much to explore. The live music is amazing.
This place will just keep on evolving..

@@StuartMorris7 Appreciate? Actually. It's an amazing place to live. When I watch videos like yours. Which I really enjoyed. It shows me how amazing and rich in culture Weymouth is. It has a historic vibe and a vibe that still holds onto past values. Yet progressing too.
There is no better place to live.. thank you for your great tour..

i miss the timewalk

[@juliemunro1]

The laser lights might make an interesting display but do not make up for the absence of the lovely fairy lights we used to have

[@StuartMorris7]

I do agree.

[@diogenesegarden5152]

Yes, driving down White Horse Hill, on my way home on leave on a balmy, still evening and seeing the string of coloured lights sweeping around the bay and reflecting off the sea, was indeed a sight to behold.

[@juliemunro1]

I loved the fairy lights along the seafront, it's not the same without them

[@StuartMorris7]

@@diogenesegarden5152 I totally agree.
