the holes in the desks are for ink for pens
As a kid we had blackberries everywhere behind our house. My mum and l picked buckets of them, mum would make pies, tars, jellies and jams. A great memory. Not candles but ink wells for the dip pens. We would take powder, add water and fill those ink wells. We were not allowed to use ballpoint pens back then.
Love those cool blue-ish sunshades Jason!
Can you cross any ocean , with your boat
That last 40 min mark is exactly what I want to see. A bit of boating a bit of scenery. A great bit of editing. Have fun guys.
The water looks cold
I really want to know if the sea what was the issue with the sea strainers! This is one of the things that worries me the most!
It was good seeing your mom again. Is she still living the RV life?
Very nice visit with your mom. I enjoyed England stops with you all. Thanks. ❤😊
Your mom may enjoy narrow boating. You guys rented one for a few days I thought
Just a couple of hints for anyone non-uk watching this and thinking of going on countryside walks. Keep to the registered paths – some go through farmer’s fields but that doesn’t mean you can walk through any field. Some of those fields have livestock in them so it’s always important to leave any gate how you find it – open or shut. Also, if you’re going to walk along the road, walk along the right hand side so you’re walking into oncoming traffic. There is something in the UK called the Countryside Code.
Oh – and never pick blackberries from the bottom of a bush – that’s where the dogs might have “watered”! 😂
I redesigned my anchor locker for the exact same reason.
what I did was to make a strong mesh divider screwed to locker walls, bottom to about 2/3rd way up to take the last 50m of chain (the rarely used part) and that gave the most used first 50m its own full fall area to drop and sack and if say you need 60m it'll just take it out of the chain on other most unused side of mesh divider. make sense?
I would put a gas strut on that chain locker lid, I can see it falling and taking a toe off.
your mums cool
Welcome back Tom, been missing your content. I started for the plane as I used to fly a 182RG, and stayed for the stories, adventure and scenery. You're good at all these and probably so much more…….heard someone recently interviewed about his 5/10 yr plan and he said "I just want to be me"
Maybe the best advice for all of us.
Thankyou Tom and be you.
Why would anyone with a new Gyro choose NOT to turn it on in wavy seas?
I LOVE it when your Mum comes along – oh and the other family members of course…………… I really felt her saying "I am not ready to go" ………..
pisses me off that the gov renogged on the commitment and kept their ancestral home.
And Sloes at 21:16. With those you can make Sloe Gin.
I wondered why the UK had a Blackberry shortage this year.
Special times ,i enjoyed this episode ,greatly ,happy travels Mary
Berry good content.
How come there isn’t a viewing box , for looking underwater. As kids in the 60s we took them every time we went to the ocean?
A small correction, Jason, from someone who grew up in that part of the world. Kimmeridge is NOT "the middle of nowhere"; It's in the middle of the Purbecks. I have travelled widely, well over 40 countries, but I have never found "nowhere", or indeed met 'nobody'. Everywhere I ever went, from a mountain village in Morroco to a truck-stop in Alberta has been 'somewhere', and the people I have met there (even the ones who don't own yachts) have been 'someone', and usually very proud of the 'somewhere'. Perhaps in Texas there is a "Nowhere" full of 'nobodys' (I don't know; I've never been to Texas), but I doubt it; Even the place Nikki was from (that was a good video, by the way) was somewhere and she and the other 'somebody's seemed very proud of it. Just saying…
😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤
Groovy, exciting, informative and of course, with mom, loving. Really loved this episode.
Ink wells, the groove in the top edge of the desk would've held the pens…
Great video! thanx
We have plenty of blackberries in FL but simply cut them down cuz they are a nuisance. Never considered making a hedge out of them. Hmmm.
Still haven't learned how to pour the beer! Tilt the glass, don't try to make foam, the foam will create itself! You are losing the natural carbonation!
Do you find England surprising too, or were you already in the know?
