Imagine the poor teacher if those kids were at school with possibly another 10 like them in the class. Sigh I'm a retired teacher so shuddered at the thought. It's sad that many of these teens have no interest in anything positive. Thanks for the history, sad for those people that worked in the mills. Love it that you are back in the countryside, two different worlds within 10? kms. Take care =-)

Houghton Tower looks fascinating! There are not many of that age in such good shape nowadays. It looks like someone still lives there and loves it. It almost looks like something out of a movie set, but better. I can imagine the community living there hundreds of years ago. Thanks for showing something I would have otherwise never known existed!

Glad you both survived the trip through Burnley and Blackburn, and good to see you both in our neck of the woods (and well done on your visit to Hoghton Tower, which you finally pronounced correctly haha!). It takes me back to a holiday we had on the L&L back in 1978 on a hire boat (and the kind of early summer when we had four seasons in a day). I don't recall any graffiti back then and no bother from local yobbos, but it was certainly a physical workout I remember. Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing these journeys with us. 👍

For me, there’s something about the word “defecating” that makes it sound and seem sooo much worse. 🤣 A group of defecating pigeons conjures up dantesque imagery in my mind. Add rats (and kids) scratching and gnawing, just trying to get inside and .....yup, that’s nightmare fuel 😳 I’m glad that you both decided to “soldier on” as they say. Well done. Hooray for the sticks, it’s the best place to be I believe 🙂❤️ 🙂🐿🌈❤️

Pity about the oiks, we once had problems with skinheads in the early 1970s and ended up lashing the boat to an old factory on the non towpath side. The worst offering was a sari wrapped around prop, about an hour down the weed hatch with a knife.

Hi from the States. FYI, sirloin here is called..."sirloin" and most people know the story of the knighted cut of beef. Personally, if I'm going the steak route, I go for tender loin (aka Filet Mignon). Sear it in a cast iron skillet on both sides and then throw it in the oven to finish it off. Covered in compound butter. Keep up the great work with your videos. Cheers!!

The Beatles were the only group who's songs I knew by heart ~ weird I know. 😂 Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see Life is not without it's road-bumps and challenges. Hope you both and the pups have recovered fully. Take good care of yourselves, be well ~ Hugs Lacy, Mike & Hamish🤗🐾💞 PS~ In today's world it seems every city has gone to pot. Dirty, trashy, no control over unruly people.

Whoa! At 3:10. Anyone notice the house fascia on the second house in? My engineer's eye says that wall (back wall?) is seriously p1ssed with respect to the first house in the row. Or is my engineers eye getting too old and uncalibrated? I'm looking at it post vlog now, with more care and while I think the bowed down pipe is exaggerating the effect, I think the whole rear face is skewed wrt the first house AND the third house. Someone tell me I'm wrong, or call the local surveyors! Great vlog guys, as always. Every other building you see is either old or interesting or both.
