Well well. I now remember that I used to regularly drive through Shere on my drives between Portsmouth and Canterbury from 1980 to 83 when I was a student at what was still Portsmouth Polytechnic, now University. Back then, the M25 had not been completed and ended at Reigate. I'd pass by Wotton, Gomshall and Abingher Hammer as well as Shere. And over the Hogs Back as well as Devil's Punchbowl and through Hindhead. I'm well aware that the Devil's Punchbowl is now an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and that there is the Hindhead tunnel.
Hmmmm, yes, that was quite the journey back then, although it included some lovely Surrey locations. It's weird now, not going past Devil's Punchbowl, and I hear the Hindhead Tunnel has increased property values in that area. All the best, Angela
Oh Angela. "Shere" joy to see another video of yours come in. We will catch up on this as well as your Battersea Power Station Christmas video. Thank you for this!
Hello Angela Lovely video. Have added the Holiday to watch. Love a nice village walk. I have a thing for village churches or churches in general. Say hi to Luke for us. Merry Christmas. Take care Chris and Sandra of Canada.
Sorry for the late reply, but yes, I too love a nice village walk and Shere is a great spot for that, although that part of Surrey has some lovely places to visit. All the best, Angela
How interesting that this is a famous movie location in Surrey, UK. Are you aware that we have a Surrey, British Columbia Canada? It's a suburb of Greater Vancouver, near what's known as the Fraser Valley. And guess what? So many Christmas movies are filmed out there, even though they are passed off as being in the USA. The beautiful scenery and favourable exchange rates make it very attractive for US companies to film around Vancouver. In fact, Vancouver is known as Hollywood North. I've had many occasions where I'm watching a Christmas film and thinking the scenery looks very familiar. Sure enough during the end credits, I see "Filmed entirely on location in Fort Langley, British Columbia, Canada" or similar. Many / most Hallmark Christmas movies are filmed in Canada. If you Google "Christmas movies filmed in Canada" you'll see what I mean. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Wow, I had no idea so much was filmed in Canada, but I'm not surprised, it's so beautiful. I've just finished watching True Detective: Night Country, which apparently was filmed in Iceland!
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela Just read your reply to my mum now whilst we are having breakfast at the hotel here in Bellevue, Washington State USA. Heading back to Vancouver on Saturday with a return visit to the USA a week later. I'll look up the Iceland novel you mentioned. Hope all is well back in the UK.
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela I have visions of Colin Firth and Hugh Grant fighting over you in the murky waters of the North Greenwich peninsula, as well as inside an IFS cable car as it sways in the air, with folks from the water taxi looking on. "Right Cleaver, outside!" / "Oh please, this can't be happening. Should I bring my duelling pistol or my sword?" 😀
What a delightful little walk that was. Thank you Angela.

In the words of Mark Darcy / Colin Firth: "What we're trying to say, very inarticulately, is..We like your chatty YT videos. Just the way they are". 😊
Brilliant!

Let me guess, you were hoping to bump into Colin Firth wearing his Christmas reindeer jumper? 😊
Or is he hoping to bump into me? :)
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela That's it! As well as Hugh Grant. Chatty Walks with Angela's Diary.
