      Good Avening! 😊. I couldn't resist that! What a pretty village and a relaxing video to watch while sitting in a warm house. Yes Paul that star…va….tion….er box boat is a mouthful ….! Strange name indeed….because the sections looked like ribs….not very politically correct 😁.

      Hi Paul, What a great place for your vlog. It looked cold hope you were alright with your back.

      I saw the loco in the vicarage and I remembered reading about the Rev Teddy Boston who built a narrow gauge railway in his garden, Wikipedia tells me that he was immortalised as the "Fat Clergyman" in The Railway Series children's books by the Rev. W. Awdr, but I don't remember that character (something to ask Santa for this year😂😂😂) …. What is it about the clergy in the UK? They also got in the act in the Titfield Thunderbolt!!

      The Lilly bridge was an amazing find, I love seeing these old photos, many thanks to the gentleman who pointed you in this direction. It reminded me of the Bailey Bridge that for many years was outside the Broad Oak works when I was an apprentice. It crossed the mainline into Portsmouth. It was only wide enough for one car but it was bidirectional as you can imagine it gave rise to lots of problems as reversing down it wasn't much fun!!

      This week I've been busy following the Acequia Gorda through Granada, it's really hidden out of the way, but I've found one or two clues and some amazing historical maps.

      Enjoyed seeing the epitaphs for Pressman and his wife. You weaved some great film posters into the video👌👌

      Great vlog, well done, have a great week.

      Hello Paul – greetings from Poland.
      Feeling much better thanks. Thanks so much for the mention. Lovely to hear from other subscribers who enjoy your channel as much as I do.
      Loved Avening, it's walks, beauty and history. Superb video, beayutifully photographed. Sorry you got a bit damp. We are now under snow!

      Avening looks lovely, the dampness seems to make everything seem more lush and alive 🙂

      You're right about the Fry's factory in Somerville, Keynsham, it's now sadly flats.

      You've managed to film so much this month despite the challenging weather, meanwhile, I was cowering away in the warm, thanks for taking us with you on your adventures!

      And thanks for mentioning my comment 🙂

      I did enjoy this compilation- it’s good to jog our memories of all the places & topics you have covered in just a month. When you take stock it’s just amazing all the subjects you embrace & all these topics take time to research- something I never take into consideration so thank you for such a varied channel.
      Just to say – I don’t think it’s really relevant- Chavenage has that same word ‘aven’ in it- probably a coincidence!
