I’m really enjoying your videos and learning a few things I didn’t know and I only live an hour from the Cotswolds. I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned but one of the houses you filmed in Blockley was very important for the US. Paxton House was the HQ for the Super Six division in 1943 and it’s where Eisenhower and Patton met to plan the Normandy landings. Keep up the good work! ❤

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Thanks for stopping by! I bet you got that recommendation because we were on Dave & Kathy's premiere together ;-) Have a great weekend! Cheers! Dara

[@Track_Us_Down]

Hello! Fun video! I’ll have to check out the mystery series- I have no clue! Cheers!❤🎉

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

The series is a very light and fluffy mystery series. Borderline cheesy. If you prefer a bit more drama, better writing and acting, and beautiful filming location…. I highly recommend Shetland. You should be able to watch it on Amazon prime video. Cheers! Dara

[@WhereisBingle1]

Love the drone intro. I have to learn how to do that, it made the village more magical!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I would be hopeless with a drone... but am SO grateful that Ian enjoying piloting it! I do think seeing an aerial view gives a totally different impression... and in the Cotswolds, I do find it to be magical most of time! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers! Dara

Blockley needs to go on my list of places to visit in the UK, I love the Father Brown series, so a pilgrimage to the village is required!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

If you are a Father Brown fan, YES! You absolutely must make a pilgrimage! And have a stop at the cafe for something to eat ;-)

Sorry to say I haven’t heard of Father Brown, this area looks delightful though. I shall have to look it up! Some great names on these buildings! Oh i do love a village with a bowling green, think im getting to that age where i start to take it up! Custard tart for me Dara. Oh that Cheese Board looks to die for ♥️Good choice. Warm scone and clotted cream? Heavenly. A flat ceiling in a Church? 🧐 im intrigued by Father Brown now. Nice chat with the village idiot, what an insight into the town, what a friendly chap! Everything converted to living quarters. Gosh, some changes there. Great video ❤ Otters Abode? Wow that has you written all over it 👍

[@theresabigwideworld2632]

I find it sad that villages such as Blockley have lost their banks, shops, chemists, postoffice and a pub, being able to walk to these amenities made the community life in the village. It seems that now they're more just 'dormitory towns and villages' People just drive in and out.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Yes, the town is now a holiday home location for people rather than a place where a community of full-time residents live... so it IS sad! I wish I could visit it back when it was full of local businesses and local people... Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers! Dara

Thanks Anna! I actually haven't watched much of the show myself, because I prefer other types of detective shows.

Here is a show I would recommend even more, and it's also set in that part of the country... in Bath. It's called McDonald and Dodds. Very fun show! You can find it on Amazon Prime Video. Yes, the local resident was so friendly and fun to discuss the history of the village with me! Thanks for watching! Have a great week! Dara

[@ShaneNixonFamily]

Beautifully and informatively presented Dara! Loved it. It is amazing how fictional detectives put villages like this on the map. One of the places I want to visit is Sicily because of Inspector Montalbano. Dang those pastries looked good. I think the order you showed them is pretty much how I'd have them. I'd get them all and use the excuse that it's for the whole family. But we know that isn't true. 😋 But I do love a good pastel de nata. 😋 We travelled to Portugal just for the tarts. 😂 Don't worry Portugal, you are amazing anyway but your tarts are icing on the cake. And there was a nod to Oz there too. Anzac caramel slice. Anzac cookies are definitely ours. As is a gooey caramel slice. I think the base of the slice of this one has been inspired by Anzac cookies. I do love a good caramel slice. 😋 Then they have the custard or jam filled donuts. I love a good jam or custard donut (but that's something I can actually make). 😋But then to top it off they have cruffins! I do love a good cruffin. 😋Some time in the next year of so I will have a couple of videos with cruffins we found on recent road trips. 😂 Have you tried cronuts? There used to be a place in Sydney we frequented that served a huge variety of cronuts - savoury as well as sweet - including a cronut burger! 😋 But wait, there's more. That was one of the most delightful looking cheese platters I've seen. I do love a good cheese platter. 😋 And of course scones. My mum still makes us scones with jam, butter and cream when we visit. I do love a good scone. 😋 I really want to try some of that butter though. I loved your chat with the "idiot". What a character. I had to google "devil's door". Fascinating. Now I know where I should enter these old churches. 😁 The Cotswalds look lovely. I'll have to add it to the bucket list. I think that is down to how wonderfully you presented it here. Thank you!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Yes, I wanted ALL the pastries too, LOL! I am laughing that you went to Portugal just to have a pastel de nata!!! I still need to try one ;-) THANKS for educating me about Anzac caramel slices. I had no clue what they were and where they were from. So fun to hear they are Aussie! They look delicious and now I really want to try one! A cronut burger sounds DISGUSTING! I love cheese platters, and this was a delicious one. So was the cream tea. Does your mum make her own clotted cream, or is it easy to fin in Oz? You need to visit the Cotswolds. No guarantee you'll find your own friendly village idiot, but they are gorgeous. Cheers! Dara

[@ShaneNixonFamily]

@@MagentaOtterTravels No need to find a village idiot. I bring my own. He's in the mirror every morning 😂Clotted cream isn't really a big thing here although it apparently becoming more popular. For scones we'd just used whipped cream or double thick. I like double thick 😋 Pasteis de nata or pastel de nata or the ones from Belem in Lisbon, pasteis de belem, aren't like any we can get almost anywhere else. Mostly they're good little custard tarts but the ones in Portugal are next level. Cheap too - around a Euro each. Whereas here they'd be 4ish bucks here. There is one place in Sydney that makes legit Belem style Portuguese tarts that are the equal of the ones in Portugal but even Sydney is 9 to 10 hours drive away now. We keep saying that the next time we go to Sydney we will definitely drop into Sweet Belem (the shop in Sydney). When we lived up there it was our Saturday morning treat. I think I know way to much about Portuguese tarts. 😂

[@ShaneNixonFamily]

@@MagentaOtterTravels Speaking of going out of our way for sweet treats. I don't know if I've mentioned this but once we in Hokkaido, far north Japan, and we drove a couple of hours out of our way to visit a farm cafe for their cheesecake. Hokkaido cheesecake is super delicious and this cafe's is amazing. Their specialty was one they called choco moo. Patterned like a black and white cow. They opened another shop in Kyoto for a while - a pop up - and it was open the last time were in Kyoto. So yep, we availed ourselves of the cheesecake again. 😂 There's picture of the cheesecake in the first 30 seconds of my Kyoto video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJaqh3-dgbVspK8

@@ShaneNixonFamily you do know a LOT! But I respect a person who’s obsessed with food, since I am too!😂 For the record, I totally disapprove of whipped cream on scones … I’ve seen that here in Texas, and I’ve heard from other folks down under that it’s sometimes done that way there as well. 👎 I am a big fan of extra thick double cream, though.
