Americans - Learn about Hunstanton and Eat at Eric's Pizza in a Yurt

[@philbridges2315]

Being a very local man to the area, I was interested to see your video and may I say your voice and descriptions are first class, your voice just made it all the more entertaining for all the places you went to, I am so glad that you all had a great day out:)

[@DaydreamersBound]

Oh, thank you, my sweet friend! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Appreciate your comment and support for our video. 🤍 Jess

[@jeffmarriott]

I love the format Jess, it is so relaxing 🙂your voiceover really makes it. It is decades since I last visited Hunstanton but it still reminds me of many east coast resorts. Look forward to the next one ( I think I am repeating myself now 🙂)

[@DaydreamersBound]

Oh, thank you, sweet friend! I love visiting and learning as much as we can. Also, I love sharing with you all what we have learned. 🤍 Jess

[@simonboyes2550]

At 9:26 - if you take the road on the left to the Holme beach car park, you can walk across the golf course and then left over the dunes all the way (about a mile) to the Old Hunstanton life boat house. There's a welcoming cafe next to it. A great little hike and any anytime of the year. Sshhh keep it quiet, its my favourite

[@DaydreamersBound]

Oh, I definitely will keep it a secret. 😅😉 Thank you for sharing. We will check it out next time we go. 🤍 Jess

[@bigbird2100]

Great video 👍So enjoy sharing your exploring of the UK that I have never been too and just the informal way you make your videos 😊

[@jaysfarrell]

Aaahhh Sunny Hunny - we’re there a lot and absolutely love it. The sunsets are some of the best I’ve ever seen.

[@DaydreamersBound]

We will definitely be back to check one out. I have been told it's like nothing else. Thank you for watching and leaving such a lovely comment! 🤍 Jess

[@simonmonk7266]

Hunstanton is definitely one of the best victorian seaside destinations. The last time i was there they had a armed forces exhibition in the town from the mucklebourgh collection.

[@DaydreamersBound]

It was such a beautiful place to visit and learn about. We will definitely be back to explore even more. We appreciate your time and hope you have a lovely week. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@RonSeymour1]

Whoever would have thought that a video of a 'stranger 'driving through the English countryside could be so relaxing? Your voice is that of a teenager and charming.

[@DaydreamersBound]

Thank you, dear friend! I'm so glad you are able to enjoy the video. We love sharing our fun adventures and lives with you all. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@tracieoliver2307]

Jess and Chris once again you reach out to us all and share a wonderful day out! I really felt I was with you guys and it was brilliant! The fencing you liked was a woven fence and depending what material is used can be very expensive! The farm shops were just great and a place to visit in the very near future! Thanks for sharing guys its appreciated

[@DaydreamersBound]

Tracie, I'm so glad you enjoyed coming along with us as always, my friend! Thank you for letting me know. I really want to have one put in at my farm house in the US once we return to remind me of all our lovely memories and friends here in the UK! 🤍 Jess

[@captaintorch983]

What a great day out. Despite multiple visits to Hunstanton with my late wife, I've never been to the the area you visited at the start. So much to see there, I must try to get back. The foot of the cliffs is a great walk, and our dogs loved it. Your correct pronunciation of Hunstanton was quite a surprise, as most visitors say it the way it is spelled. You can walk along the beach or drive to Old Hunstanton where there is a pub, shops, cafe and the Lifeboat station. Hunstanton has 2 boats, one of which is a hovercraft. The farm shop looks amazing, lots to do there, it seems to have expanded a lot in recent years. Next time you are in Thornham visit the Lifeboat Inn. Dog friendly, and always good food, we stayed there a couple of times. My wife's birthday was 27th December, and we always went for a walk along the beach and lunch at the Lifeboat. Thanks again!

[@DaydreamersBound]

Captain, thank you for all the lovely recommendations! Will definitely check out the INN. Love reading stories you share always makes my heart happy. 🤍 Jess

[@forthedisenfranchised4366]

Lovely video, have a wonderful time, you picked a good summer to be here.

[@DaydreamersBound]

Oh, thanks, friend! Hopefully, we will be here for a couple more summers! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! 🤍 Jess

[@macsmiffy2197]

Glad you enjoyed Sunny Hunny! I’d recommend Fishers in Hunstanton if you want fish and chips. It’s just as good as Eric’s, probably better, and half the price!

[@agranda6379]

Great video guys. Great to see Norfolk again as I have family there and will be visiting near Holt in a week's time. If you travel further east along the north Norfolk coast there are amazing expansive sandy beaches and really beautiful seaside towns and locations. Enjoy!

[@DaydreamersBound]

Friend, thank you for the recommendation on the beaches! Will definitely be checking them out very soon. Hopeful you have a wonderful trip and enjoy your time. 🤍 Jess

[@chasbrown7303]

That was a lovely, peaceful journey. Thank you....😁

[@DaydreamersBound]

Oh, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed watching. 🤍 Jess

[@johnrainford9708]

Nice video Jess, what a lovely part of the world you guys are stationed at, and the weather was perfect for you. The story re the airman is very interesting. Over here in Liverpool there was a huge US bomber base in the war at burtonwood near Warrington. I worked nearby for a while early nineties and a few of our customers were former personnel at the base who had married the local girls and stayed here in the NW. Very nice people with interesting stories. Thanks for keeping us entertained. 👍 J

Thanks for the comment. It was a great day, indeed. Cheers 🍻 Chris and Jess.

[@rowietappy187]

Jess you always seem to be blessed with glorious weather when you go for a road trip around England. If your still applying for jobs may I recommend the BBC as a weather girl. You are a lucky Talisman for sunshine, and will become a national hero. A rain dance at midnight once every few days would be fine with me to keep the grass green though 🤗

[@DaydreamersBound]

Oh, how fun would that be!! I have done a rain dance for just a little rain to help my landlord, which is a farmer. Thank you for the lovely comment, as always, my friend! 🤍 Jess

[@debsplayford3180]

Hi Jess, I can't tell you how lovely it is to hear Huns'ton pronounced the way we locals say it. When we aren't calling it Hunny that is 😉. It's really nice to see the villages through fresh eyes. Were you staying in Heacham or just passing through?

[@iannorton2253]

I was going to make a comment on Hunstanton being pronounced wrongly throughout the video, not realising that they pronounced it as the locals do;, I learned that I was wrong and they were right. It's good to learn.

[@philippenaluna2312]

'Sunny Hunny' is on the Norfolk side of The Wash which opens out on to the North Sea. Your mentioning of an old settlement (Saxon?) reminds me that there's a Saxon site in Peterborough at Flag Fen. It's an interesting insight to what life was like at the time.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

What a great nickname!

[@DaydreamersBound]

Thank you for the recommendation! Will loom into that. 🤍 Jesa

[@philjames9076]

great video guys hope you all are well 👍

It's beautiful weather, we should all make the most of it - because it's gonna rain... eventually.

[@DaydreamersBound]

Oh, we are going as much as we can to enjoy each day we're here. Love it so much. 🤍 Jess

[@colinstevens2691]

You should really check out the Norfolk Broads, places like Horning are absolutely beautiful and make for a lovely day out

[@DaydreamersBound]

Thanks for the tip! Will definitely check it out. 🤍 Jess

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Nice video Jess! Loved all the history that you shared. The little fact I found most interesting was the "west facing" resort on the East Coast! That's awesome! XX Dara

[@DaydreamersBound]

Dara, it's so much fun to learn and share what we have learned. The UK is so beautiful with so many facts and all history right outside waiting to be explored! 🤍

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@DaydreamersBound I could not agree more! It seems like every little town and village has a Church full of unique beauty and history, for example.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

You are a lot better than me. After all these years I am still not comfortable driving in Britain, so I don't drive here. My husband Ian does all the driving, and I walk everywhere as much as possible. I've also learned how to take the bus around my town 😂

[@DaydreamersBound]

With living so far from the base, I had to learn quickly, or I would have been stuck. I love being the passenger and letting Chris take control. I love how much public transportation is used here in England. It's so lovely to see. 🤍 Jess

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@DaydreamersBound yes, I am proud of myself for using public transportation and walking about 10 times more than I do when I live in Texas! Lol

Hun..Stan.. ton... that's how we say my dears.. or sunny hunny! ❤ seems strange seeing others being tourist in your local haunt haha x

[@alecleamus3280]

Can’t beat a day to the seaside, the town looks beautiful, but I’m not familiar with that part of England. The food looked tasty too, and the farm shops are always irresistible. Great job on the narration, as ever, Jess. Your voice is as pretty as you. 😉

[@DaydreamersBound]

We had a lovely outing. The food was definitely fabulous. Thank you for being so kind! 🤍 Jess

Norfolk has wonderful big skys, being a very flat county and next to the sea makes the skys look much bigger than much of the rest of the UK.

We love it here! It's just so wonderful. Also, the people make it even better! 🤍 Jess

Funny to see Norfolk it's so flat and just countryside up north it's very different it was so industrial in the past and you can't move for hills they're every where nice vid and as you Americans say have a nice day?

You are going to miss the UK when you are living in a featureless landscape on your farm, I do hope it's not too featureless, I have seen some farms where there is nothing to see for miles around. But I will keep watching until you go, will you continue to post when you're back in the USA?

[@DaydreamersBound]

We will definitely miss this place! Where we call home is quite beautiful in its own way. Can't wait to show you all once we return, but we're enjoying this beautiful country while we can! Cheers 🤍 Jess x

[@ewanvannett9989]

what made hunstanton and all the coastal towns of norfolk major holiday towns was the comming of the railways beetween 1870 and 1900 the great eastern from london and the south and the midland and great northern from the midlands and the north and very sadly most of the railway lines where closed in the 1960s

[@DaydreamersBound]

Thank you so much for the insight and sharing with us. 🤍 Jess

[@kevinrouse141]

I lived in King's Lynn for 5 years, and everybody calls the town to the North of it - Hun Stan Ton. Norfolk, (which is Nor Fuk)😂 dialet traditional called the town Hun Ston but nobody really does that anymore. It sounds right in a Norfolk accent, but not in yours for some reason, so Hunstanton in full in OK. I can't wait to see if you dare to try going to Happisburgh, because that is always pronounced Haze Brr', the end is not Brew, or Bro, you'll need to work on that, no doubt, as it's sound is short, don't stretch the rr. xx

[@DaydreamersBound]

Kevin, thank you for all the feedback! I am working on how to pronounce everything properly, and it's not as easy as one would think with my accent. LoL 🤍 Jess

[@kevinrouse141]

@DaydreamersBarn The other name for Hunstanton is Sunny Hunny, everyone will know where you mean.

English place names can be tricky. Trottiscliffe (/ˈtrɒzli/ (TROZ-lee) is a village in Kent, England about 2.5 miles (4 km) north west of West Malling, West Malling (/ˈmɔːlɪŋ/ MAW-ling, historically Town Malling) is a market town in the Tonbridge and Malling district of Kent, England. It has a population of 2,590. The Pilgrims' Way runs near Trottiscliffe. It is often incorrectly spelled Trosley [citation needed] after Trosley Country Park at the top of the North Downs, which was once part of the Trosley Towers Estate. The spelling Trottesclyve appears with nearby Hallyng in 1396. Labelled as Trotterscliffe on the Ordnance Survey map published in 1870. Gillingham (/ˈɡɪlɪŋəm/ (GHIL-ing-əm) is a town and civil parish in the Blackmore Vale area of Dorset, England. It lies on the B3095 and B3081 roads, approximately four miles (six kilometres) south of the A303 trunk road and five miles (eight kilometres) northwest of Shaftesbury. It is the most northerly town in the county. In the 2011 census the civil parish had a population of 11,756. The neighbouring hamlets of Peacemarsh, Bay and Wyke have become part of Gillingham as it has expanded. Peacemarsh, not to be confused with Peasmarsh where Sir Paul McCartney MBE, musician and former member of The Beatles, lived/lives in a farmhouse in the village. Peasmarsh also was home to Maria Ann Smith (née Sherwood, d. 9 March 1870), from whom comes the name of the Granny Smith apple, was born in 1799. Gillingham is pronounced with a hard initial "g" (/ɡ/), unlike Gillingham, Kent, which is pronounced with a soft "g" (/dʒ/). Wikipedia.

Howdy! Me again. 😉Once again, a great video. 👍 The Flood of 31st January 1953 was indeed the most devastating natural disaster to hit the UK in the Twentieth Century. As well as the Scottish and English coasts, it also affected the coasts of Belgium and The Netherlands. Over 2,500 people lost their lives. Back then there was not the understanding of how huge tidal surges formed, nor was there any effective warning system that could have drastically lowered the death toll. The best available back then was the BBC Radio or even just a Policeman riding around on a bicycle with a whistle! Sadly the surge hit during darkness which only exasperated the situation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sea_flood_of_1953 Your fellow American, Reis Leming, was honoured for his bravery in rescuing so many people in the storm. For this he was awarded the UK's highest award for gallantry, typically by civilians, in circumstances where military honours are not appropriate: The George Medal. The presentation was made by the very young Queen Elizabeth II who had come to the throne less than two years earlier. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Medal He can be seen here at 08:40: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4mvkHmBba-jfaM The fencing that you love is made in the same way as traditional "Hurdles" that were constructed of "Wattle", where thin flexible branches are interwoven through upright wooden stakes. The same form of construction was used in "Wattle and Daub" walls where "Daub", a plaster like substance, usually made from a mixture of clay, straw and either cow or horse dung, was pushed by hand into the gaps before being allowed to dry. It was then coated in Lime Wash to protect it, a job that had to be regularly repeated as the wash was not very durable. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurdle en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wattle_(construction) (A quick, rather pedantic point: Hunstanton is on the east coast so those houses were overlooking the North Sea, not an Ocean, although it was known as The German Ocean until World War I when it was renamed here for fairly obvious reasons.)

[@captaintorch983]

Tim The George Cross is awarded to civilians for the highest levels of bravery . Also, Queen Elizabeth did not personally award Reis, as she was in mourning for her Grandmother Queen Mary. Reis was presented to the Queen during a later visit to the UK. Regards.
