DORSET, THE COTSWOLDS & TIME WITH MY DAD!| | The Positano Diaries EP 160

In this episode while we are still in the UK after Christmas we drive down to Dorset for a day, visiting Shaftesbury where Skye went to school and then on to the Jurassic Coast where we take a walk along the cliff path to Durdle Door and down to Lulworth Cove.
Back home in Positano my friend Elisabeth and the girls go to check on our cats at home and find that Luca (Carlos brother) is there had has been taking good care of them.
We spend a day in the Cotswolds but the weather is just too dreary.
A couple of days later and the sun is out so we take a walk along the River Thames towards Hampton Court Palace and take the opportunity to ask Dad some questions,

Thanks for watching the video Dorset, The Cotswolds & Time With My Dad!

[@kit2130]

Your dad is fascinating. He should write a book. I would love to take walks with him & hear every story. It would probably take years. He has such a great memory for details!

[@elymartin8773]

Yes. I think a book would be wonderful. short stories about everything and anything he'd like to share such as travels

[@Nubianette]

I totally agree!

[@cherylcrawford2221]

Yes! the book could be called, “Walks with my Dad”.

[@jenniferlim2250]

Yes, Nicki pls write a book about your dad and his memoirs. So much interesting stuff, such a colorful career....how does he manage to remember all these details at his age - hats off! 👍

[@misshautechip7847]

Can’t believe your dad is 89!! I had to rewind to check. He’s so full of energy. Bless him x

[@SelfAdvocateForBetterHealth]

Your dad needs to start a KZbin channel where he walks and tells his life stories. Safe travels home

[@scoobers3493]

Love this idea!!!!!

[@shanalawrence4381]

I totally agree 🙂

[@deesa3500]

No kidding!

[@tracep81]

I’d watch for sure!

[@bevelynbrown9359]

I agree

[@christinanewman5141]

Your dad amazing,can’t believe the speed he walking at his age , putting us all to shame ,love to hear more of his stories

[@tracep81]

He would out walk me at 40 y.o. anytime.

[@elliekrause7266]

Fabulous episode! I bet your father has so many stories to tell. He’s a natural storyteller. Thank you for sharing!

[@lorellasguerri8302]

Molto bello!!Parla anche in Italiano,non tutti possiamo conoscere la Inglese!!!!!☹️😘😘

[@chrissierg]

yes, so eloquent... :)

[@andreasirota8642]

You wonder where Nickie gets her knack for story telling! ;)

[@elliottmanning]

I just love little Holly, she always has a smile on her face. Such a sweetheart!!!

[@juliakolander5719]

I could listen to your dad’s stories for many more videos !! What a gift to hear these!!

[@aussieanne6812]

Even with its grey skies, England is a magical place. Your dad is certainly very fit, being able to walk quite fast and still hold a conversation without becoming breathless! He really should write his memoirs - my mother did and she lives on through the stories we now often re-read and treasure. An irreplaceable gift for future generations 🥰

[@danneeley7248]

You are so blessed to have such a kind, intelligent, caring father. So enjoyed learning about his amazing career.

[@susanmorgan995]

New word for Carlo-Stunning! Entire video-from the beginning to end. Thank you SO much ALL of you!

[@barbarawillis5187]

Your Dad is so charming. I loved listening to you interviewing him. This is a great episode from beginning to end.

[@sallydyer6998]

Your dad is amazing Nicki. I can’t believe he is 89! Loved listening to his stories. You need to get him to feature in more of your videos. Sounds like he has had a fascinating life. Thanks very sharing. Love all your videos. You and your family seem such lovely kind people 💕

[@mikeantonio3163]

You killed it on this one. Fabulous scenery, a fascinating raconteur and, of course, Carlo''s aerial shots!

[@kimmibres497]

Agree! Wasn't it an incredible episode!?

[@thisakindredspiritcozynook]

This man is a born natural storyteller, no wonder he has been blessed with so many stories. Much love from the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago

[@drdornesowerby5863]

Happy liming online. Lol Nicki's video are the best.

[@drdornesowerby5863]

Videos even. Lol. So happy you made it home to the UK for hols, Nicki. Do you find it very cold here now, after years on the Amalfi Coast?

[@ciaobella8963]

Your Dad is just wonderful. A bright, good looking man who clearly knows how to tell a story. Does he write? I think Nicki you got your love of words from your father., and perhaps your penchant for photography. Thank you for this video. I was born in England and it brought back memories of being a child there.

[@katiestewart1361]

This is an outstanding episode, a gift. Beauty, history, family, home...

[@sandrafatland2843]

Enjoyed seeing so many lovely places in this vlog. However, I must say hearing your father's stories made it extra special.

[@claudettep212]

Carlo, don’t stop saying “WOW” - I love it. Nicki, your dad is such an interesting man. The stories he tells. ❤️ Record lots of his stories. I wish I had recorded my dad. Would be nice to look back on.

[@barbaraharrison6256]

Loving hearing your dad's experience. How he can walk at such a pace is leaving me breathless! ;-) Hope he had a lovely birthday - no doubt more special for him that you were there.

[@gildalee8194]

Nicki you must sit down with your father and do at least an hour long interview! He is such an interesting man with so many life experiences that, I think, your viewers would be so interested to see. I know I would. I did not want this video to end!

[@maureengilmartin4381]

My oh my, your dad was very handsome in his earlier years and very distinguished looking now too 🙂 What an amazing career he has had and so interesting to hear his experiences..

[@gabschasse600]

" Perennial English grey ".......I liked that ! Nicki - your Papa is wonderful .⭐

[@tammyteague522]

Your Dad is a gem , make sure you appreciate him and spend plenty of time with him while you can And I agree with the other comments...Natural born storyteller!!....Great video

[@jenjem5810]

Wow,Nicki, Dad's 89! Amazing. Bless you for being a great example of HIGHLIGHTING the beauty in tiny details. Your Dad is a treasure

[@orchidlife9482]

Such an enchanting episode! I adore your father and his extraordinary stories. I so hope Skye spends time with him-he’s such a rich history. And keen memory. Thank you, for sharing!

[@CW-kq2vm]

Thank you so much for this! It made me cry. My Mum was English, she also grew up during the war and was evacuated to the country as a child. Hearing your Dad tell his stories reminded me of the stories my Mum would tell. What a wonderful life your dad has had! ❤

[@eb6929]

Your dad is fascinating Nicki, a long life full of amazing stories. Many blessings to him and all of you. Safe travels back home to Positano ❤️

[@Lea-rf5tw]

Your dad should write a book about his life. Thankyou Nicki and Carlo that was lovely. xxx

[@freckledlemonade5901]

Your Father has so much passion for life! His stories, his travels, his family..etc! ❤️ 💕 Another Beautiful Family Vlog! Positano Diaries never disappoints!

[@hairyscotman]

DINAH SHORE!!! One of the most loved American Entertainers....lovely lady! What a great and interesting career....to be that close to SOPHIA....ahhhh....thanks, for this....another wonderful video....safe travels!!!

[@joannakyung9052]

Hi Nicki, this was one of my absolute favorite episodes, seeing you walk and talk with your father--priceless! I am inspired by his healthy habits of only eating two meals a day and walking each and every day! God bless you and your family! England & Italy!!

[@KJ_nyc]

Loved the dad interview. Can't believe you walked and talked at the same time and did not get winded. Superb cardio. I love, love, love the fact that Nicki let dad talk without interrupting and stealing focus. Very generous, loving behavior from a STAR daughter. The Dorset, Shaftesbury, and Jurassic Coast visits were FABULOUS. Never worry when there is no sun to shoot. The grey days show extraordinary color, depth and detail that you just can't see in high-contrast lighting. Carlo's drone work, superb, once again. Skye is as beautiful as ever, even when she simply appears in the backseat. Skye reminds me of the fabulous Lea Seydoux. So beautiful. So mysterious. So intriguing. Very nice work.

[@michelledam2324]

One of my favorite episode! What a special moment seeing you with your dad and telling his stories. He is such an energetic and delightful man! Full of life!

[@tonimactavish9937]

I could listen to your fathers stories all day. A very lovely video .

[@rachelwhittaker8056]

What a lovely man your Dad is. I could listen to him for hours. He must have so many amazing stories. Thank you to you and him for sharing with all of us. Safe journey home😘

[@Oohmyymiaa]

Your dad is so cool! What an interesting life he's led.

[@nancymacdonald7159]

Loved this, hearing your Dad’s stories is an extra bonus. A lovely person.

[@gs032009]

Nicki, make sure your father accepts an invitation to spend some time at Positano and do a second interview, perhaps inquire about all the films he shot. Arabesque? Well done!:-)

[@heatherridgway1552]

It was a great pleasure listening to your Dad, he needs to write his autobiography. Good to see Gloucestershire too…my home County.

[@lorieastside1]

Only watched the first half...saving for bedtime...I am absolutely amazed at the beauty and feel a past life...just in awe...thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@roncook9367]

I am very impressed with your father's physical condition; walking, talking and normal breathing. Way to go!

[@charmingjinx9379]

All the while walking too fast for the dog!

[@ShaheenKhan-xw3we]

Thank you Nicky and Carlo and your dear Dad ! Loved the places ,beautiful video and colours,even if the skies are grey 🤗❤️👍🥰🎂

[@karlam7253]

What a fun family vacation! Great “English”, Tomas! WOW!

[@nancyparmelee4161]

Your dad is so sharp. My dad was like that at 96 and we never thought of him as old. Same with your dad.

[@florakis3610]

Your Dad has quite a history 👍😊

[@mollygordongeorge]

Loved the beautiful scenery even if it was under grey skies. Enjoyed the clip of your friends taking care of the kitties and dog. Those little girls are adorable! And your dad...he is precious!

[@hulahickey6959]

Your family makes me smile!!! Lovely to see that you enjoy each others company. I don't understand why anyone would be critical of how Skye was raised. It will only benefit her to be bilingual and familiar with both places

[@nicolebrown1986]

Your dad is lovely. I'm glad you got this on film and have it forever.

[@jomoore147]

Honor and thanks to your lovely Dad, I could listen to his stories all day long.

[@susanst1317]

Your dad is so lovely and you are so lucky to have this time with him. I am envious truly. Also, he was and still is so handsome.... looks like a movie star..

[@RaniJ24]

Carlo, stunning drone footage of the beach!

[@bibletime5787]

Wow! That was a Great Video Presentation!! Your Dad IS Amazing!! Loved Those Stories!! :)

[@OnlyLoveCan38]

Your father is absolutely gorgeous, fascinating and brilliant. I really enjoyed your interview with him. His life would make a wonderful book or screenplay. I always thought his jam making was a therapeutic outlet. What a life!

[@elizabethmachado1170]

First of all, your dad walks so fast. I would not be able to keep up with him. Then his very sharp mind. What a fascinating person he is with his storytelling and his love of jams.

[@mimipetrova122]

Your dad is amazing! At his age he has such a good memory and walks so fast, even you and Holly couldn’t keep with him😀. That was a wonderful video, thank you Nicki, Carlo and dad❤️

[@elisa7881]

Beautiful! So enjoyed your (very handsome) father's stories. He's right; London is very special.

[@siamgirl31]

Many thanks to your father for sharing his stories❤️

[@flowersflowers473]

You should encourage your dad to start a KZbin channel - maybe he can start showing us London through his eyes! Thank you for the tour of the Cotswolds, I've been to Lower Slaughter and Bourton-on-the-Water, but never Burford - it is on my to-visit list now. Wishing you safe travels and a lovely trip back to Italy (and sunshine :D)!

[@lisamarutz9772]

Two magical places to call home, you are so lucky 😊

[@tinathene]

Aha! Camera exploration is in the genes! What a pleasure to hear your father’s stories and see the lovely Dorset and Cotswold countryside - overcast light has its charm. Well done with dramatic drone footage throughout! Thank you!

[@Magicallyamberr]

Wow, it’s so cool hearing your dad’s stories. He needs his own story time You Tube channel. Thanks for sharing.

[@lovelyskull3483]

This is a fantastic video. Your father is incredible. Thank you all so much.

[@pattoo2945]

What a wonderful blog this was! Loved the tour of the beautiful scenery throughout the quintessential English villages (would love an itinerary of the towns as I didn’t catch all their names!). Your dad’s stories were so interesting! Edited to add: loved Elizabeth’s charming girls and their check in of the cats!

[@rebeccathornton7408]

Nikki, you find the best parts of each country you visit, and the best people to talk to (your dad). Safe journey home! Love to all xxx

[@barbaraknispel8294]

How wonderful to share this time with your dad. Mine is gone and so watching and hearing your dad does remind me and brings back the special memories when of mine told his stories. Thanks a bunch!

[@Amy-hs1qe]

Wow - your amazing Dad is 89?! He could pass for 15 years younger! I've traveled throughout England extensively for decades and very familiar with all of these places - thank you for filming/including them. I have a confession: I've had a bit of a crush on Luca from the start.

[@behindthegateatnumber8926]

Can’t believe how fit your Dad is .. walking at pace and chatting away 👏🏼👏🏼so interesting too ♥️

[@jerseygirl3045]

I could listen for days on your Dads past..they are fascinating..he looks amazing for his age..may he have many many more..God Bless📿

[@carollacoste532]

Your Father has had a wonderful and exiting life He's so great Love the Jam Story He is so interesting you are very lucky to have him.in your life.What great stories. he has met so many wonderful people Could listen to him all day .

[@jtpaar1732]

Your dad is such a gem and I can't help but feel a cloud of sadness hovering over me as you leave him there to return home to Positano. I know, I know...we all have to live our lives and he's firmly planted in England...it just seems a rip off that no one is taking advantage of his life experience....so many untold stories...so many walks....! I wish him all the best of happiness and health in 2022! Thank you for sharing his wisdom, experience and humor with us.

[@miaballester3978]

Your Dad is treasure and what an interesting and charming man. You must be so proud!!! Enjoy him!!! Many blessings for all!!🙏

[@gildalee8194]

Carlo OMG WOW!!!!! Your drone footage is amazing. Your daring flying skills are really breathtaking!

[@belindafernandes5712]

That was wonderful! Beautiful towns in England.. especially where Skye attended school.. what a sacrifice your family made .. boarding and trips back and forth.. good for you .. you did it!!! Your Dad is in great shape.. walking at a good pace and being able talk!! Good for him.. very interesting gentlemen!! Loved the pictures and hearing about his career.. thank you my Sunday morning is complete.. strength trained at fitness center this am.. and a walk with the dog after lunch.. should leave some time for knitting.. do what you love!! I agree with your Dad exercise is the key to longevity! At least one of them

[@lohio1587]

What a lovely, lovely vlog today. You took us to some really beautiful places. Perfect end to my day. Have a good week everyone.

[@elizabethlockhart2627]

Brilliant listening to your father's stories! Just loved it. What a remarkable man.

[@michelleblaylock3350]

Wow your Father is the best I could listen to him all day The girls are so Beautiful 💞 another Beautiful video Thank you all so much for sharing ❤

[@stellanicholas2335]

Another lovely vlog Nicki and Carlo. Could listen to your Dad forever, wonderful memory, lovely man your pride in him was obvious it must be hard for you to leave him

[@joannenash5377]

I really enjoyed this episode. I have good memories of Dorset and the Cotswold's when we went on family holidays when I was younger. Your dad is a real character and has some good stories to tell. I have lived in Australia for many years, and I am really looking forward to be able to travel again. Holly is such a great little dog and really seems to be enjoying running on flat surfaces.

[@vanessagilsenan7498]

I really enjoyed this episode. Your Dad is such an interesting person. I loved hearing his stories. You should definitely dedicate a whole episode to Q&A’s with him. 😊

[@carolmerlini9971]

Holly is just adorable. I can't put my finger on exactly why Italian dogs are so charming, but they really are, especially in Winter when they are packed in their cute sweaters and coats. In my city on the Adriatic Coast, the neighbor dogs really make my day when I see them around town.

[@annettes7460]

So enjoyed listening to your dad. I'm just 10 years younger than he, and certainly not as spry, so something to aspire to! Hope your trip through France is successful.

[@JoshWoakesDoesReviews]

They can’t go France.

[@NickiPositano]

Hi Josh Carlo here, in the end they let us through, right today, because the rules have changed again!😁

[@katherinegriffith5546]

Your Dad is adorable! You must get his storytelling gift and desire of seeking new places/adventures from him. Elizabeth's girls are so lovely. How fortunate you are to have such an awesome family and friends!

[@m5sunflower665]

Nikki gorgeous country and thank you for educating us on Sky’s school. Love her haircut. She must have an experienced excellent hair stylist .❤️ Your Father us very lovely and interesting ! What a wonderful family vacation for you all 🥰

[@robertastanger9983]

What a beautiful wonderful vlog. Your Dad is so inspiring and so are you and Carlo.

[@lyndawilliams5523]

Marvellous…as my dad would have said! Loved loved loved hearing your dad talk about his most incredible life.

[@monagopal6497]

Loved this long video! Elizabeth’s daughters are so cute and already pros at talking in front of the camera 😚. You’re dad has had an amazing career and has a lovely active life in England. Love to you all!! 🥰

[@cyndemckay4158]

Your father is freakin’ stinkin’ amazing, which I am sure you already know. What a life. He is a beautiful man (apparently always was wow!) inside and out.

[@nilsarivera261]

What an entertaining episode, beautiful country England, God bless your Dad, interesting life he lived. Thanks Nicki👍

[@brewster13ful]

You are by far my favorite KZbin Chanel! Thank you for continuing to put out wonderful videos and sharing your family with us. The discussion with your Dad is fascinating! Kind of him to share his stories with us...so cool! I love love love the drone shots! Please ask Carlo to wear his Hello Everywhere Hat! Haha...i got the biggest kick out of that. Bless you all and stay safe.

[@Tofog22000]

What an entertaining video! Your dad is a great storyteller. The scenery was beautiful. The segment with Elizabeth, her kids (future vloggers I think haha), Luca and your pets was heartwarming too!

[@luciepapulkas4438]

Wow. Absolutely wonderful. Your dad is lovely. Fantastic video. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@artsyxo]

Loved hearing your father's incredible stories

[@vickicampbell2736]

lovely video. The children visiting your home so heart warming. Thank you for allowing me to travel with you by sharing your travels on you tube. God bless you and your husband snd family 🌟

[@spookydude7449]

Thank you Nicki and Carlo and family, I needed this one today due to having been very Ill now for over seven days my body aches chest infection so I'm not having a very happy New Year so far and my wife is also unwell with the C 19 . Wish us luck on better health soon. All our love to you all xx

[@lindamahrer1760]

Spooky dude...don't delay get to a doctor. You need to check for pneumonia and prevent it.

[@OnlyLoveCan38]

I hope you feel better.

[@Brooke-bl3yq]

make sure you are checked by a doctor and keep on top of symptoms. Wishing you love and light.

[@mircat28]

Did you get all three of your COVID-19 shots?

[@AD12396]

Praying for you both and God will help you. I had COVID last year along with my spouse and sons. It was brutal but every day I kept saying one more day to recovery. Unfortunately, it took two weeks before we were better. Hang tight and things will get better.

[@elizabethsmith38]

Wow! Thatched roofs.....how beautiful ❤️

[@angela64355]

Enjoyed listening to your father’s story, he’s had a very interesting life.

[@kerrychastney9986]

Beautiful video. Your dad is an amazing man, what fantastic memories you must be so proud. I wish my dad would take a leaf out of his book and walk and do more on his own he was widowed 5 years ago. Your dad could be taken for 70 not 90. Safe journey home to Italy 🇮🇹❤

[@relocatetoItaly]

Your Dad is a treasure do more stories on him.

[@pattyfromfl]

Fantastic vlog! The drone shots of Dorset and other places you went were so amazing. Your father is so fit! I wouldn't be able to walk and talk at the same time! Thank you!

[@kemikemi]

BIG!!! THANK YOU!...To your dad for hanging with us in this vlog, and sharing a little bit about his career in the Q & A. Yes, I am now craving a toasted cheese sandwich LOL! How nice and comfortable Elizabeth's kids are in your home. It shows they love their Auntie Nicki and Uncle Carlo very much (...I know you are not related lol!...) but brings back memories of my childhood in Nigeria, where neighbors don't close doors, and kids just darted about here and there. Come dinner time, wherever you find yourself is where you get fed dinner. It was so precious, back in those days. Thanks! Nicki and family for another wonderful! Sunday vlog.

[@annberquist7101]

What a fabulous video. I was amazed at the stories your dad had to tell, such a great memory of things that happened in the past. We should all be video taping our parents or grandparents and preserving the memories they have. Priceless!
