I bought my hubby some Loakes when I inherited some money after my dad died. Husband often went without shoes as a child and had never had a pair fitted properly. He absolutely loves them and the aftercare is superb. They will last him for many many years.

Helen's voice is so funny. Nearly every sentence has an upward inflection like she is amazed or surprised! It's cute.

Awww thank you Simon 😊 funnily enough it does take a lot to make me oooh and awwwww 😂 James is Def the one 😍

I was born in Ely . My dad was in the RAF and that was the nearest hospital when my mum went into labour lol after watching Alf Garnet lol 😮xx

[@davidmcnally4773]

Ive been right to the top of the tower there when I lived 10 miles from there ,loved ely especially the cathedral and riverside

[@seanrichardson9404]

You are very good at what you do.. You have that something if that makes sense. Also not forgetting Helen ❤

[@bythecurb]

Thank you :-)

[@andystreet1479]

congrats to doctormong for paying your parking bill Cambridge is very expensive

[@user-Ambu]

What you should have done is gone to the park and ride at Trumpington. No charge for the car park just a bus ticket and no worries about keeping a check on the time. Also there is a nice wetherspoons in Cambridge which has downstairs toilets.

[@claireleamy3168]

I get a delicious comforting feeling every time I sit down to watch one of your videos. Thank you both for sharing your lives with us.❤

[@MegaVector2011]

The Cathedral is stunning, I'm from York and the Minster is awesome but Ely Cathedral is off the scale. Fantastic choir too, the Christmas services are amazing. Thanks for the upload.

I wish I'd known you was going here, I've got a Murder Walk where you have to go round Cambridge solving clues to a murder. It's brilliant! Includes a time machine.

Cathedral lovely,thanks you will love droning,would of been ok set drone off outside the premises fly over.

Nice to see that they still have wooden punts in Cambridge. In Oxford, they swapped to plastic ones that don't have the same ambience.

[@gaza2322]

You appear to have missed the river area in Ely, just a short walk from the Cathedral - shame, it’s really nice!

Loved it guys. I feel your pain with the ticket. I suspect they have an alert that your car has expired and then able to issue. Anyways, what can you do. The cathedral looks great. Loved the stone of all the buildings, must be local.

Peterborough cathedral is very beautiful and in there you can see St Oswald’s chapel where the stolen arm of St Oswald was kept. The saint you talked about from Oswestry. Then go for the day to Stamford I think you’ll like it there x

I had a Antie that lived in Cambridge she was a ripe old age of 102. She died a few years ago. Her Husband was something to do with Pye Radio. They used to have a Vintage car in there Garden as a feature.

[@picknick3591]

When visiting Cambridge - best bet is the Park & Ride tbh! An expensive place for sure! You went right in the centre of town but the best street is Mill Road . . . Ely Cathedral is a wonder to behold (also expensive to get into but the maintenance of a place like that has to be considered!) Both places steeped in history, so got to be worth a visit!

£28 for two tickets 😳 Salisbury Cathedral where the Magna Carta is …That’s FREE. You should’ve have to pay to enter a place of worship!

[@bythecurb]

I know, it was very expensive but the concert made it worth the money

[@christoguichard4311]

​@bythecurb Canterbury is the only other Cathedral that charges...I think? Rochester, Winchester, Chichester, etc are all free...but ask for donations.

Hiya, lovely that you are in my old stomping ground, the last time I was in that Cathedral we didn’t have to pay as we went to evening service as it was around Christmas time it is a beautiful place isn’t it ? Hope you had fun but it’s really expensive in comparison with the Norf!!!!

Its a lovely place!

I have never been as disappointed with a place as I was in Cambridge. Apart from the pub we found that specialised in Belgium beer it would’ve been a wasted weekend.

It was a real pleasure to meet you James in Ely. I have been following your channel from the get go pretty much and the only comment (other than this) that I have left on a channel is yours believe it or not. It was early doors to say how much I admired how you coped with some of the stuff that was going on, lived in your van etc. Great to see you and Helen (although she had her head in the stall/shop 😄). Safe travels and all the best Chris

Hi Guy's,another great vlog,thanks,yes Cambridge is very expensive 😮 so annoying to get a parking ticket 😮 Anyway was hoping for our shout out when you was in the pub,hopefully next time 😊

[@bythecurb]

Im really sorry, we had to stop doing shout outs. We talked about it in an early video. When we did them in the beginning we got completely inundated with requests and it was too hard to keep up. However, we always mention people who we see when out and about so hopefully we will see you on our travels :-)

It's a city 😉

[@dawnbarlow2002]

Ely is a city, not a town 😊 However I agree totally that the pub was not necessarily the best place to eat with regards to vfm. Part of the charm of Ely is that it’s a step back in time…

Is it just me...? I don't think it's right to have to pay to go in a church or cathederal... I get that they have to pay for the upkeep but I think the church gets plenty of money and they could ask for donations. Charges like this make these places too expensive for the ordinary working person...elitist if you ask me...

[@seanroberts1177]

I absolutely agree. There should never be a charge to enter a place of worship.

Well thank you for visiting Ely. I’m not sure if you got to see the river? Also not sure you got to taste the best of Ely Cusine ( better food for better vfm is available I’m sure, or at least in my experience it is), but I loved your feedback on the cathedral. In regards to Cambridge, if you ever think of coming again, please please please reach out… there’s great parking at the park and ride places that would have cost you £7.00 for the pair of you to take a 10 minute bus ride to the city centre, valid for 24 hours, not 4, and then the most amazing tapas restaurant … I know it’s more expensive than most places… but it’s possible to do Cambridge on a budget…

[@sarahvowden7]

How funny to see you guys in our neck of the woods 🤩 Ely is a lovely little city & I was born in Cambridge, if we’d known you were about you could of slept on our drive 😀 .

I was crossing my fingers hoping you would make it back to the car park in time. That was a beautiful cathedral. I found a youtube video of Leonard Bernstein conducting the London symphony in it. How nice to have enjoyed a concert there. I've never heard of or seen a flash mob, that was intersting to see. I like how you got people in the canal boats to wave. You'll have to take helen out on a boat one day.Thanks for showing us around Ely and Cambridge. You're doing so well, you might even make 50K subscribers by the end of the month. Cheerio you two
