TORQUAY IS GREAT IF IT IS A HOT SUMMER'S DAY, OTHERWISE IT IS A MISERABLE PLACE! THE LAST TIME WE WERE THERE WAS IN SEPTEMBER, 2023 WHEN I WENT TO THE PRINCESS THEATRE TO SEE SCOTTISH COMEDIAN FRANKIE BOYLE. WE HAD BEEN TO PLYMOUTH FOR A FEW DAYS, AND IT HAS A LOT MORE TO DO THERE, INCLUDING GREAT RESTAURANTS! PIER POINT FISH & CHIPS WERE NICE BUT PORTIONS WERE VERY SMALL FOR A LARGE!!!

I’ve been ther before but I’m also going in 4 months

I want to come and see your radio

Karen and I loved this episode and look into the Shaldon 3-legged race and all the great costumes and local folk. We've added the Teignmouth Salty Cottage Cam from your last video to our look-see folder and found another webcam from the Shaldon side as well. Love seeing the local traditions play out in your vids and thank you for providing them. Onward to your most recent episode in Dawlish in a bit. ♪♫♪

Greetings and Happy New Year to you, Shaun & Nina! Finally watched your Xmas Day wander after some rather busy holiday daze that kept our calendar slightly unsynced as Karen will no longer allow me to watch your episodes alone without her as we both find your sojourns and local peeks of great mutual interest. So, after a late night of playing and singing live music with food & fireside friends to ring in the New Year, we awakened to watch your offering on this day from a week ago. My immediate thought on why they call the river mist a Larry is because Shemp, Curly, & Moe were already taken. Ha! We're in 70-degree F weather here in SoCal as we have most of the week given we're in more southerly latitudes. Thank you for a lovely look at Teignmouth on such a lovely day. Keep up the great work! ♪♫♪

What a nice place to go for a walk! Thanks for sharing it!

Lovely

What a Great Vlog Of Torquay. Happy new year🍾🥂

That is a great Quaccent you have there!

10 is a bird you must not miss!

Happy new year when it comes,Torquay looking as lovely as ever 🔔

What a really nice video. Great wheather☀🌤

That was s great fun! Thanks for the invite! 😄

We greatly enjoyed watching this episode with a friend yesterday as we prepared Xmas dinner. That Meadfoot Cafe got me some travelogue points as I correctly guessed where you were headed. Ha! Hope you had a lovely day yesterday! Now to watch the other two new vids. ♪♫♪

What lovely weather! It has been very grey here up North!

Merry Christmas Shaun and Nina. Lovely stroll around Torquay and what fantastic weather 😊

Merry Christmas

Thanks for this video, made it even more special as it was the choir I sing in, Tale Valley Choir, just loved hearing us.

We enjoyed this episode greatly, Shaun. Fascinating place and that church is amazing. I rightly guessed the three towers, too! Cheers! (And thanks for the traincar shoutout on Castle Drogo! Looking forward to that upcoming episode).

Poo Bingo!!!!

As I finally got around to watching this next episode in your travels after a lovely weekend live music East San Fernando Valley sessionfest with friends where I found myself roosted on the drum kit most of the evening, something I've not done in well over a decade or two, I'm stopping at the 5-minute mark so I can watch with Karen and share the grounds and the day in your historic part of the world. Thanks for the kind shout-out on Castle Drogo and I'll likely leave another comment after watching the episode. She's working in her office, so it will be a bit, so back to the ♪♫♪ for now. I still gotta catch up on The Prog Mill podcast from this past Sunday!

This is fabulous!

Great video Shaun! 🎄

An excellent and enjoyable foray into a small village festival. And those tapas and pintxos, outstanding! Fine Spanish wine and good music. Brava, Shaun & Nina! ♪♫♪ (Got my gal, Karen, to subscribe, too!)

Part of my family live in budleigh, haven’t been for years but always a fond part of my life

What a great location for filming the surfaces of other planets! A bit windy though! Thanks for the tour. I have never been to the Canaries.

Volcanico magnifico! Coaches should be compulsory, but then there'd be some folks out of motorcar business. Lots of people, surprisingly. A stunning severe landscape keeping in mind you're on islands. Enjoyed that muchly. 🙂

The house at 9 minutes 33 seconds nick Burnham of youtube Aquaholic did a tour of it

Another nice stroll through a place I'd never heard of or seen. Thanks for sharing your sojourns with us uncommonly commonfolk. (Now I want tapas and an array of subtropical drinks, please).

According to my follow-along map, that first beach is called Playa de la Mujeres (Women's Beach), followed by Playa de la Cera (Wax Beach), and finally Playa de Papagayo (Parrot Beach). Had you gone a bit further there are two small restaurants overlooking the beach. The photos show grilled fish and ice cold drinks of varying types. Thanks for another good venture into lands I've never seen, Shaun & Nina, and we'll come along again on your next adventure. 🏖🌍

Think I even saw you somewhere recognised that hat

Just got back from Brixham found it bit built up compared to were i normally go in north Devon loved Dartmouth and back pool sands but thanks for showing all the places I missed also loved babbercome

I followed your travels via your photos earlier in the year, so these short clips were lovely to see. My heart yearns for the time I spent there, twice, once on business, once for Fasnacht and romance. As you panned right from the top of Mt. Pilatus, the pointy peak across the Vierwaldstattersee (Lake of the Four Cantons), Rigi is clearly visible, which was featured in the previous clip. Glad I clicked on this as I thought I had already seen it. Ha!

Another fine walkabout in your local environs. Much enjoyed following along on the map, seeing where and how things lie and play out. Spent some time trying to find the name of the other little rock isle east of Thatcher Rock and could not find it identified on any of a few different maps. Had I waited in the video a bit longer, my search would have been rewarded with the name Oarstone. A lovely day to remember on Remembrance Day. ♪♫♪

Thanks for sharing your favourite places, Shaun and Nina! Such a lovely place!

👍👍👍

Dreek? Dreake? Great word, that. Dreary + freak, reek, meek, weak, creak? Did I spy the long iron tongue of a scythe fixed to the wrought iron, its handle standing beside it to the right just as you walked in through the stone arch? And are you north or south of Luscombe Hill? My guesses are just north between Colley and Greenway lanes, or just south where my map indicates "Dawlish Water". As a former guide in the mountains above Santa Barbara and areas therewith, if I ventured into places I'd never been, I carried a small sack of little push-pin flag markers to follow back out from a confusing wanderway, picking them up on the way out. Of course bones or breadcrumbs work well, too. Strange place and a horrorful tale. Surely someone has made a film or written a story about it, no? Thanks for another sojourn into Dawlishisly moorish places not far from home. ♪♫♪ (Note: Sorry for the long comment, but I found where it is along with Lidwell Farm in subsequent querying).

When I saw the timestamp on the travelogue, I kinda surmised you weren't walking it, at least not without the jetpacks on. Very much enjoyed this jaunt with you and the lovely Nina as co-narrator. Calling out the stops was appreciated as I like to follow along on the map, town to village, looking for various all mentioned landmarks and rivers (Little Dart took a bit of time, but I found it and the Mole River). Did I have a three-tiered deja vu in the panniers market? And even some Herman's Hermits from the busker. (Peter Noone lives in my old home town of Santa Barbara and I've run into him many times over the years at the most improbable places. He's always spotting me first and waves hello, comes round, and for some reason he thinks he knows me from perhaps in the creative world circles, always friendly, and we share a few moments and he's off. Still looks 16 years old. Ha!) Anyway, Shaun, love these merry jaunts to places I've never seen so close up. Thanks for producing & posting! ♪♫♪

Interesting place and great story! Thanks, Shaun!

The studio looks very nice I’m stung up a home studio for my shows

Very interesting.

That place hasn't changed since I was there a few years ago.

Fascinating. The energies there need major clearing!

Really enjoying your travels Shaun.

Another fine jaunt in and through a lovely Devon Coast village. And may I compliment you on your fine camera work, steady and unjumbly, making for another excellent travelogue! 🙂

Over 20 years ago I spent hours in winter walking the whole beach night time, when needed, searching for oiled Guillemots and other sea birds. Rescued many, some survived. Lovely place Budleigh and the Otter too.

Lovely....I know it well. Sand a bit lumpy what? Just kidding. God bless you out on your adventures. God bless Budleigh too.

The sea sounds different there, more basso and rockground as compared to our West Coast American waves constantly bearing tidings from our Hawaiian Islands and beyond. Autumn here finds us at 90-degrees F for a few days then more autumnal temps will at last settle in not unlike those adorable black swans! Great camera work, Shaun, especially noted on your professional pan of the train. We could use you on set as cinematographer! Sounded like those ducks were having a good laugh at something or someone. Love the river's stepdowns, slowing and regulating the waterflow. Who was that waving at you from the sidewalk at the 6:00-minute mark? A lovely village (and we've visited scores in the UK via travel shows and videos like yours), even enjoyed pausing the clip to read the history of water management improvements. Thank you for sharing these many looks at the Devon Coast and glimpses of your life there. 🙂

I worked in cuhfm hospital radio Ireland 102.0 fm

What a lovely place! Nice to see a cameo from Nina too! 😄
