Hi Jeev, No, we took a taxi to the Sixt offices in town, but we dropped the keys at reception and they collected it from the hotel at the end Hope that helps, all the best, Gary & Janis

Rick, There'll always be old Margate; there's just new alongside it, too. We've also got it immortalised in the OFAH - Jolly Boys Outing Anyway, all the best for 2025, Gary & Janis

Hi Tina, So glad you liked it. It's got a lot of charm, and is one of the unique coastal towns we have in Kent. Always worth a visit, and great for Fish 'n' Chips 😋 Hope you've had a lovely Christmas, all the best. Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou Thank you I had a nice Christmas hope you did too. Yes, I will visit it one day. I even wanted to visit it before I saw your video. Have a nice New Year. lots of love from Denmark

Hi my friend, Something different in lockdown, although with winter upon us here in the UK, I may take to the skies in search of adventure from the comfort of my home office. Hope you've had a lovely Christmas, all the best. Gary (& Janis)

Hi, I think it's a ploy to drive you into the bars and cafes, and there's only so much Aperol spritz I can consume before risk of falling into the canals 😲 Aside from the tiny niggle with the benches we loved Venice. All the best, Gary (& Janis)

Hi, Thank you, so glad you liked it. A beautiful UK city, and one we'd highly recommend. We might head there for Christmas one year, heard it's meant to be lovely. All the best, Gary (& Janis)

Hi, Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it - have you seen Hot Fuzz? It's a rather grey and misty day here in the UK - just how I like it (No Christmas on a beach for us 😊) All the best, Gary (& Janis)

Hi Martin, That's such a shame. Maybe another visit to the UK sometime 🤞 I know it's a long way, but we've plenty to see over here 👍 Anyway, hope you had a lovely Christmas time. All the best, Gary (& Janis)

Thanks so much Ramona

Hi Rusty, That's nostalgia for you - you must have had some great memories over 40 years and seen plenty of changes too. It's easy at times to be negative about a place, and for sure there's stuff that could/should be improved, but there's also plenty to be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave a comment. All the best Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou When I do visit the UK I always have a day wandering around the shops and pick my Mrs up something from the Golden Boot and an evening out with old friends drinking around some of the various pubs (The ones that are still there at least)we used to frequent.

Hi Nathan, Thanks so much, I'll check that out, everything appears okay when I author it here, but I guess I need to listen to it back once I've uploaded it to KZbin on different devices. My background was working for an international corporation, so I often speak like that, I'm happy to refer to a cellphone when I speak to a North American, and a mobile in the UK, there's more in life to be worried about. All the best, Happy Holidays and all the best for 2025. Gary & Janis

Cheers Robert, and the very best to your clan too. I was with the '67 one too, once again childhood - but the 2016 is very good - still on iPlayer for a week I think, or on Disney+ Again, all the best for a great 2025 - I might even return to Scotland, it's only take 25 years! Gary & Janis

They can call it whatever they like. Happy Holidays!

Hi Crystal, Thanks for that, I'm so glad you like the video. I think the loss of Jack was devastating. On our road trip from Rye we take in Burwash, and you can see Jacks's name on the villages's was memorial. I'll look into the volume issue, try to make sure it doesn't happen again. On the Holidays front, I use that term in the international format to encompass everything over the festive period from the beginning of advent to the 12th night. I generally use Merry Christmas the rest of the time. Anyway, a Merry Christmas to you and a happy near year; here's to a wonderful 2025. Gary & Janis

I have found Daisy May, she wears a straw boater, has black hair in two plaits, a yellow pinafore dress and white shirt with her extremely smartly dressed handler Albert in tails and top hat, he was born in Southwark 1914 and died in April 1994 in Worcester Park, he beat Archie Andrews and Lenny the Lion etc to obtain a show on the BBC, I used to see them on Crackerjack, say it loudly you will get a pencil....CRACKERJACK !!!!

Hi Linda, Thanks so much, what an interesting slice of history - just looked up Saveen, what a character! All the best for Christmas, and a great 2025 Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou Dear Gary and Janice , I hope you saw the coloured photo of Daisy May, I remember her very well, I know that dates me, you are curious and researchers like me.....Have a wonderful Christmas, love this time of year....take care Linda

Hi Muriel, Thanks so much, I'm so glad you liked it. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Nazan, You've confused me slightly, but that's not unusual. Anyway, hope you like the video, All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Linda, Very confused with the Mr DaiseyMay reference, although strangely enough he's dropped us a line too. I think Roger de Courcey's bear was Nookie. Glad you enjoying our videos, last one before Christmas should be out on Saturday, think you might enjoy that, and that will be the last one before Christmas. We've more to come in the New year with plenty of travels too. Anyway, all the very best and a merry Christmas, Gary & Janis

A very happy Christmas and a hopefully better New Year to you both Linda@@OurWorldForYou

Hi Philip, Thanks so much, glad you liked it Al the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Janet, Thanks so much, that's very kind of you, glad you liked it. We love the German Christmas Markets, but this year, we are just reminiscing. We are planning our 2025 trip already, hope fully Hannover, Dresden & maybe Leipzig, but who knows? All the best, Gary & Janis

Kate, Thanks so much, that's very kind of you, glad you liked it. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi, Thanks so much, that's very kind of you, glad you liked it. It is a wonderful city; we must go back in the summer sometime when it's not so wet or cold. I'm sure it will take on a new life when the sun is out and people are sitting outside the bars and restaurants. All the best, Gary & Janis

Cześć Gabriela, Firstly, so glad to hear you are going to Münster, you're going to have a wonderful time. It's a lovely city and so chic too. I'm glad you found our videos helpful and if you're looking for advice on your next Christmas market then, for us, it would be to Cologne, (Köln). We've been over 10 times, and we will be back again next year. Düsseldorf is nice, but for us Cologne has it, but it will be busy (Münster's a nice size!). Hamburg & Bremen are also close by and really nice. We've a post on our Blog if you want even more ideas - 14 of our much-loved German Christmas Markets - ourworldforyou.com/14-of-our-much-loved-german-christmas-markets/ - but you may have to save some for next time. I hope that's of help, all the very best and najlepsze życzenia (I hope Google translate has not let me down) Gary & Janis

Hi Michael, Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you have a fabulous trip; the route is full of wonderful towns and villages. We both just love Germany, such a great country to visit - we'll be back next year, definitely for Christmas, but also maybe another try in the summer too. All the best, Gary & Janis

Dan, No, I didn't know that - another bit of trivia for the pub, and I know I'm going to use it! 😉 Thanks, Gary & Janis

Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for stopping by to leave a comment, All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Mia, No problem at all, so glad you enjoyed it. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Russ, I hope you do, we have some wonderful little places to explore. All the best, Gary & Janis

Thank you for the reply! You guys are very nice. I have been to Scotland in the mid 90s but not England (does Heathrow count?). Haha. I enjoy your videos!

Hi Russ, You have to make it back; there's a wonderful mixture of different places to visit here in the UK, and like the US, each region is so different. I mean compare California, Texas, Florida and Massachusetts, all very different. Anyway, hang around. There will be more UK content, plus a smattering of Europe, too. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi John, Thanks so much, that's very kind of you. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi John, Thank you again, I think they paint a wonderful slice of our history, and Rye, helps you experience it. Cheers, Gary & Janis

Hi, That's fabulous, I hope you enjoy your time there. All the best, Gary & Janis

Thanks so much Kasia, so glad you enjoyed it, All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Luc, Thanks for that, I seem to have the uncanny ability with my pronunciation to make mistakes. There's a few from memory that spring to mind; Bremen, also in Germany, Valladolid in Spain, but worst of all it's the UK ones, even in my own country of Kent, Horsmonden. I sometimes ask how I pronounce where I am when I check in, but that sometimes gets me strange looks. Thanks for the advice, when I return to Trier, I'll know. Thanks again, Gary (& Janis)

Hi Karen, We're so pleased it was a help for you, and it looks like you have the weather with you today. Have a wonderful time, All the best, Gary & Janis

Thanks so much Tatiana, so glad you liked it. All the best, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou îve just come back from Mechelen. Its nice indeed. And the 16th century house with beautiful garden is renovated now and opened for visites In the garden there is also a little cafe now

Tatiana, How wonderful! Did you climb St Rumbold's Tower? You earn your lunch from that. Mechelen is such a beautiful city and quite relaxing (except for that climb!) So pleased you enjoyed your visit. All the best, Gary & Janis

@ we have done everything during 3 days visit except this climb and Holocost museum also very nice art exhibition in the 13th century chapel

Hi, You're absolutely welcome. So glad you liked the video All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Deirdre, Thank you, that's very kind. So glad yo enjoyed it. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Guys, Firstly, Germany at Christmas is magical, not just the twinkling lights but the atmosphere of the people - really worth experiencing. Being the time of year you're going to have to expect the weather may not be your friend, which means two things: dress and plan accordingly. Have a museum or two to take in, or explore something that interests you, or just become a fly on the wall, find a brauhaus or wirtshaus, have a couple of drinks and soak up the atmosphere. As you're coming a distance, probably plan to visit a few 3 to 5, but they can be tiring, and you judge them against each other. Go fo a mix of big 'n' small - That post we mentioned in the video would be a good starter. ourworldforyou.com/14-of-our-much-loved-german-christmas-markets/ Finally, videography - yep that's a word, and thanks so much. We have a strange little workflow. When we travel, I (Gary) take the still photos, and Janis shoots the video. When we get back, Janis writes the posts, constructs the socials and I build the web pages and edit the videos. It takes time, and I try to put in as much as possible; that's why there's so much commentary, but that takes time. That 15-minute video took me around 36 hours from over 40 minutes of footage, but I enjoyed it, and if I can encourage one person to have a great time, then it's worth it. Anyway, enough chatter, and have a great weekend. 🤞 you make it here one year and create a fantastic bunch of memories. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi, That will be fantastic - it's a wonderful place to visit. Hope you have a great time. All the best, Gary & Janis

Guys, That is no problem. Helpful advice is always welcome, I struggled to see where I had made the error; I know during the production, I seemed to get it constantly wrong, but I thought I consistently referred to it as Paphos throughout the video; the subtitles and description, and I couldn't see the issue - Then I saw the thumbnail! How, after two and a half years had nobody else mentioned it! I fixed it now, thanks for letting me know, All the best, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou Hi Gary & Janis - excellent. It's #perfect now and thanks for not taking any offence. I foloow you on Twitter X but only subscribed after catching a link to your account from a post and of course, natural curiosity took me to your Cyprus playlist. I shall have a look now to see what other goodies you have to offer! Myself, I tend to stick to KZbin shorts - I don't like being on camera and just don't have the patience to provide voiceovers, especially with a Lancashire accent which never produces clear subtitles ;-) We're currently looking at a different place to visit from Benidorm as we're familiar with the destination and a winter trip means we will want to be out and about. We've visited Villajoyosa and Alicante so we're toying with taking an overnight stay around Denia during our 9 nights in the early part of winter. Cheers, Shell

Hi Shell, I'm not easily offended (Gary); I look after our KZbin stuff (Although Janis shoots all the footage), IG replies, Threads and our blog post creation - Janis creates the IG content & about 95% of the posts on the blog. I work from a script and then upload it to KZbin rather than rely on autogeneration. A dodgy southeast London accent that I've tried to polish throws up a few quirks otherwise. The script helps me get the facts right as I narrate, and I do try to slow it down a little. I have to write the script as I watch the video, and weave in any bits like the 'like & subscribe' segments as I go. However, it's a journey, you learn as you go, and do what works for you. Our friends at @flydriveexplore put us onto VidIQ on KZbin - loads of great pointers there for tuning your content. Onto Spain, we've done 3 road trips through the country, love it, not so keen on the Anglicised bits where you can get a full-English though. I always recommend Seville for a bit of winter sun, and a touch of culture - plus tapas to die for. Valencia's also nice, maybe worth a look Anyway, to paraphrase Strictly - 'keep creating' All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Ian, Thanks for stopping by; it doesn't feel like too much has changed around here. I guess a few shops may have come and gone - The butcher's is no more. However, Wincheslea is a lovely place to visit, and it has so much history. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi, So glad you liked it. Paphos is a wonderful place, and the weather should be a little kinder than here in the UK. Have a great time, Gary & Janis

Hi there, So glad you liked it - we have a fair bit of content from Romney Marshes and the surrounding area because we enjoy it so much. If you get the chance, go explore because it is a fascinating place. All the best, Gary & Janis

Wow, so that means you're there today! Have a great time. How long you there for, what have you got planned? What ever happens enjoy - seeing somewhere new is fantastic. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi, Thank you, I know what you mean about the Victorian Gothic; I think it reflects our nostalgia for the period. The grounds and gardens were something else, I'm glad we saw them, would to have hated to have missed them. It was warm, if a little damp at times. Anyway, all the best, Gary & Janis

Dave, That's always the challenge, and Janis manages that so well, as I do the still photography. Normally, there's a fair bit of editing too, and a careful selection of shots, and sometimes you just have to go with the flow. To be honest, we've been three times, and it won't be our last (Helps Westerham Brewery is just around the corner too!), and if you like history, don't forget to check out Quebec House - It's in the video 'Our visit to Westerham in Kent, and a look around the National Trust Quebec House' - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGSbeJd6eKakqsU . Major General Wolfe is an overlooked figure, but he's remembered in monuments in so many places. I loved your video on Westerham; it's great to see how we all create our content differently. I'll drop a comment shortly. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hey Tatjana, Please don't apologise - my mistake. It sounded okay on my PC, both in the app and when I exported, but something must have happened in the upload process. I will make sure I bring the background levels down in future videos (Just so you know, all my videos have subtitles I created, rather than KZbin created, so you can use these - but you shouldn't need to) Anyway, thanks so much for the support, Всего наилучшего - All the best, Gary & Janis

@@OurWorldForYou Thank you. I hope I haven't upset you. 🙂

Hi Tatjana, 😀 Of course not, I peeked at your opening video, and lo and behold, Canary Wharf, my working home for 18+ years. Working in IT in that environment is not really a place for shrinking violets. Plus you comments were helpful, not a problem - I'll try to make sure it doesn't happen again. All the best, Gary (& Janis)

@OurWorldForYou Hi Gary, thank you 😊 I live in Poplar so Canary Wharf is almost on my doorstep 😉 There was a Guide Dogs Charity event last year with the trail of dogs sculptures. This Charity is very close to my heart, I have done fundraising in 2022. My aim was to walk 400km in July and to raise £1500 but I've managed to walk 500km and raise £2500😊 I am originally from Lithuania but I live in London since 2007. Best regards Tatjana

Tatjana, Wow, that's amazing, such a good cause. Now, I have a question: where's the English language version of your channel? You have some great content, and I'm sure we English speakers would love to hear your storytelling. (My Russian is a little rusty 😊) Whatever, keep up the good work, share the word to the Russian-speaking world (but an English version would be nice), and keep exploring. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi Tim, Dungeness is special, such a magical place. Like you, I agree that the Dungeness estate should not be 'private' hands, actually it's owned by the French State, as EDF is wholly French. I do wonder why we can't have a British State-owned energy company, but now we're wandering into politics. At least it's possible to still explore it freely and explore the magic that is Dungeness. All the best. Gary & Janis

Thanks so much Akologo, hope you enjoyed it All the best, Gary & Janis

Am doing powerful enough because God is great

Hi It could be my 'H's', but I think it was a link to the Friars website and another for Aylesford Farmer's Market. Hope that helps, All the best, Gary & Janis
