I Went to THIRSK to See a Famous House and a Cursed Chair!

[@lynwalton3930]

Hello James & Helen Just recently discovered your show! Love it!!! I was born in Woolton Liverpool and lived down the road and around the corner where John Lennon lived (never saw him!) I emigrated with my family to Australia in 1965. I used to go to Llandudno on holidays as a kid with my family. I saw your show about Llandudno, but you and Helen never went up the Great Orme by Tram or by cable car. You missed out on a wonderful experience! Anyway, thank you for showing the lovely places around Yorkshire (never been there!) Kind regards, Lyn.

[@bythecurb]

I'm so sorry that we didn't go up the Great Orme! What a faux pas! Sorry about that. Would have loved to see it. We absolutely love Liverpool. Thank you for your lovely comment 😊

[@saltaireorangebicyclechopp8555]

One after another gorgeous market towns, Thirsk, Ripon, Northallerton, Pickering, lovely part of the world. 👍

[@simon-zh3qb]

I go into limp mode every monday morning walking to work,weird that🤔

[@johnround1697]

What a lovely town and what lovely people, if only every town was like this wouldn't it be a better life for everyone. This goverment needs to get a grip grow some b...s sort out crime and lock these knife wielding scum up so we can all have a lovely existence like those beautiful people in Thirsk I'm sick of it. Sorry for the rant james but I get angry when I see what we could all have with a gov willing to do something about it. Well done pal for the vlog of tranquility it gave me an escape of madness for 30 min❤❤❤❤

[@zyllinui]

Glad you got the problem fixed on your van dude, take care .

[@stephenperry2870]

Hi another lovely clean and friendly Yorkshire village I think we exel in Yorkshire by showing others how we care even with those knitted things or with wonderful flowers I'm so proud to be a Yorkshire man ,great blog shame you missed the Race Course flowers keep it up.

[@gailhorner30]

Never been to Thirsk, looks like a lovely place. Nice video James

[@davehanson7764]

We stayed in The Three Tuns a good 22 years ago , it was a private hotel back then , and now it's a jolly good old wetherspoons ( Love spoons ) it's nice to see the place still operational.

[@SandraPrice-c5g]

Nice video James. I like the look of Thirsk town centre - Helen would be in heaven there with her favourite kind of shop. All the best to you on your travels.

[@sueterry7300]

[@tonytcb4504]

Brilliant mate thank you so much loved it ❤

[@yorkiebear1970]

Great Ayton (James Cook’s childhood home) isn’t far from Thirsk and well worth a visit for a visit another time. Love the videos James.

[@IanRichardson-y1m]

Enjoyed as we always do , pleased your van is hopefully fixed 😂

[@jobrownridge8289]

Well we took the plunge and went to Thirsk today and loved it.we finished off in the book cafe which my son loved.my daughter has special needs and enjoyed it too.enjoy your weekend with Helen.we always enjoy your vlogs.keep up the good work.🙂

[@JR-wz8hr]

Another brilliant video,thank you. Will definitely add Thirsk for a place visit. Fascinating story re chair. Love watching your videos so relaxing and both you and Helen so genuine.

[@yorkslad1559]

Enjoyed that. Number of times I've travelled through Thirsk on way to Dales/Lakes and can't remember stopping there. I must make the effort. Walked along the escarpment from Sutton Bank car park to the airfield where the gliders take off. The views are brilliant and it takes you, via approx 100stone steps if I remember rightly, down to a car park below the white horse.

[@dianeleahy3345]

Surprised. What a lovely town. Loved the South African lady. Shame about the rain, I’m sure if it was sunny you could have spent longer mooching around. Thanks James. Looking forward to your next trip.

[@TheCatCottage99]

I really enjoyed this, thank you for sharing. I love a spooky story and local legends. Best wishes to you and Helen :)

[@GHExploration]

No mish mash here, one of your best videos as yet, thoroughly enjoyed it, keep smashing it mate.

[@terrywall3034]

[@ronsummerill2496]

Another great vlog loving the vlogs

[@KayeDavidson-oo4eg]

That looked a really nice place . I am going to go and visit that all creatures great and small museum and all those charity shops lol. You need to start selling those mugs I want one 😊

[@christislord2832]

When you filmed in the van at the beginning, you looked to be looking off to the side a little, maybe looking at the screen and not the camera..but when you filmed in the van after your lunch, you were defo looking straight at the camera (us) ..thought it was my eyes at first..anyhow thought I’d tell you incase you’d not noticed n wanted to change it..if not I’m waffling for nothing 🤣😂🤣😂 Praise God for you cheering our days up 🌈✝️🕊️😘🥰😍😇 x x x miss Helibobs though x x x but you do great on your own too x x x

[@CarolBass-t9w]

Brilliant video James what a beautiful place to visit . Great story about the chair very interesting. Love your mug very apt ❤

[@BasilScrimgeour]

The story about the chair is a good yarn !

[@stuedge2728]

Oh I was in Thirsk 3 weeks ago with the Mrs.... Washout at the "Great Yorkshire show" tractor had to tow us out the mud!!😂 But ticked a bucket list by visiting James Herriot's ol' veterinary practice... Magic 🪄 love Yorkshire ❤ thanks for the videos great to watch 🫶

[@ricatkins4918]

[@stu061]

Just been to the White Horse and Thirsk this morning on the way back from 3 days travelling around North Yorkshire in the camper van. We parked near the Gliding club and walked along the path above Horse and along the ridge with great views! 👍

[@lindashepherd-denny7113]

Looks a really lovely place ❤😊

[@KRABI_PT]

Great town. Lovely people. Suggestion, if you’re up that way some time, would you take a run into Carlisle and do the castle, military museum and the cathedral.

[@clareboylan6741]

Great stuff James as always.. keep smiling 😊

[@kimharrop4301]

Great vlog James 👏👏👏

[@jackieblakemore56]

Aw, Thirsk is gorgeous. I went a few weeks ago, mainly to visit a National Trust place, Fountains Abbey. I dropped to see my daughter too in Dishforth. A very beautiful place!

[@guybeston6059]

Thirsk looks an interesting place really enjoyed this blog especially the interaction with the ladies

[@WeAreAllData65]

AUSTIN REED, London (iconic, upmarket ladies & gents outfitters) had their HQ in lovely THIRSK (I worked for them, many, many moons ago). Another FAB vid, James 👍✨ Helebobs would love the town (and, like me, it's quality charity shops!) 💖✨

[@karencolling3736]

Great video James I think the horse on the hill is a great place got some great memories of going there often when I was a lass. You could actually play on it years ago but then I think the English heritage got hold of it & stopped people going on it to preserve it…….

[@garylistersmith4246]

Takes me back to my visits there and the white horse, thank u.

[@ionskies]

Hi James great videos have you ever visited port sunlight interesting history behind the village one for you and Helen I think😊

[@paulvine1487]

Try Northallerton next town on 👍

[@lcfcgrayforeverafox3603]

I absolutely loved this fascinating story about busby goodness me what a cad he was and quite rightly got his comeuppance lovely people lovely quaint little place brilliant 👍😎

[@judyfaulkner407]

Thanks James, I really loved this one …makes me want to come up norf and have a nosey!! I think the little town had a lot to offer, I’m not interested in the Vet thingy but loved the other museum and all those charity shops❤️❤️I would be in heaven 😂🙄 Church was interesting too but I don’t really like it when people feel the need to talk to you when you are alone….its not that I’m an unfriendly person but I like to do my own thing and after chatting for a few mins it’s time to move on!!! That’s not normal is it ? Do you think I need help😮😅 and can you recommend a shrink!!! Love these kind of blogs ….we see things that we would probably never see so thank you ….and no i wouldn’t sit in that chair (you never know)

[@justinnewbert]

Great vlog we love thirsk too

[@tracybush8115]

Thirsk is so lovely. The Pet Blue Cross Charity Shop was sweet as was the lady running it. Your lunch looked amazing! Haha, story of cursed chair was delightful - eerie music added to fun. I wouldn't sit in it - why take the chance, haha? White Horse is beautiful.

[@DeborahHoward-h5c]

Looks lovely in Thirsk James another place IV never been to.. There is no way I would sit in that cursed chair..lol... People seemed very friendly too, bloomin rain it's either wet or too hot for me. Looking forward to next place you visit. Debbie Brid

[@robertleek6433]

Great video as always and loving the overlays. Thank you so much for the shouout. Glad your are getting some use out the mugs 👍

[@bythecurb]

You're welcome mate, we love them

[@D-A-V-E--Facetube]

Will watch in the morning :) - Can't get my head around the new draconian laws coming out day by day. £100 fine for swearing in public now.

[@aimeewilde1564]

Will have to take my Grandma there on a trip in the MoHo - she loves All Creatures Great & Small!

[@NM-kz6tv]

James , smashed it with the music again

[@truckman4175]

Used to go in busby years ago when it was a pub every week none of us sat in the chair just incase

[@linpownall4381]

Another great vlog thank you ❤

[@MikeOxlong12]

We go to Thirsk 2 or 3 times a year and always stay at the old oak. Literally everything on the menu is top notch and the accommodation is mega. Crab and Lobster is a must visit too. And finally . . . . . if you like Terry Hall, checkout his collaboration with Dave Steward under the group name "Vegas". I reckon you'll love it. Much love big fella x

[@christinephillips9709]

James, nothing wrong with fish n chips two days running.. I would😂. Love em!! Like you wherever I go I seek out the fish n chips.x

[@Wren_01]

One of the best bits of your vlogs is the music you add. I loved that music going in to Herriot museum. No he’s not my cuppa but we learn as we go. Looks like a Norman church. I love those knitted things as part of some group for thirsk. Whoever made that wood thing over the font 🤷‍♀️ was it? Anyway, must have done a few hours carving that. One of the cities you made me want to visit was Newcastle. I never got a good look at it years ago when I went. Thanks for sharing…. Very quiet where you are today. People doing those carvings today would be called vandals lol. Go get food now… enjoy!

[@JulieButler-n4j]

Ace vlog today James..keep them coming xx

[@michellewilliams-hz2vt]

Wat a lovely place to live great vid James 😊

[@darlingbudsofmay1114]

thank you nice video

[@kevjaffray]

Nice "Psycho" opening scene 😂 Thirsk looks very quaint and the locals extremely friendly but that's Yorkshire for yah! Any more thoughts on your next van?

[@sheilagarrido8204]

Love James Herriot👍🖐🤗 good call❤

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

I like Thirsk. I will be up there next week. Art in the Pen is an art event at the Auction Mart. Independent artists showing and selling their wares. ilona

[@hellibabes]

Wow!!!!!!! Just ❤ love the yarn bombers!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@christoguichard4311]

Enjoyed watching that with my cheese on toast...☺️ My son Dan is just about to embark on a big road trip journey from down here in Thanet, all the way up to Aberdeen, and asked me for some suggestions where to stop overnight "halfway". I told him to watch some of your videos to get an idea of some nice places in Yorkshire and the North Midlands/Peak District etc. So now he's booked some chalets and similar up around your "manor" James. About a year ago, my sister passed away from lung cancer at only 60...and about a month later, her eldest son, who lived up near Aberdeen, committed suicide. He and my son Dan were great friends when they were naughty teenagers together, and got up to all sorts of mischief together. So...Dan is making a pilgrimage up to Aberdeen to pay his last respects to his cousin. It'll be a sad trip, but hopefully he will see some of the beauty of your part of the world...on his way up there. Thanks for that James...Thirsk looks like every "ideal" English town, that we all need to preserve and enjoy as a representation of our culture, heritage, and history for future generations to see. 😊

[@redmoon8217]

I am really sorry, it sounds like you have had so much lost. Had to deal with any loss but suicide so painful. Look after yourself.

[@bythecurb]

Thanks Chris, I'm so sorry for your loss mate ❤

[@christoguichard4311]

Thank you 😥 ​@@redmoon8217

[@christoguichard4311]

​@bythecurb Thanks James 😔

[@kathchandler4919]

Ah, James, thank you, I love Thirsk & I now have to go back & visit that Blue Cross shop , those ladies have it beautiful. I also spied the loveliest dress for Helen too, it was that blue patterned one on display as you passed at the top of the shop, perfect for Spain 😊 😉

[@TonyTravels-s4u]

Great video mate

[@carolewinskill2738]

Thirsk looks lovely. The sandwich looks very tasty .Take Helen she will love the charity shops .Thanks for great video's James keep them coming 😊😊.

[@seanroberts1177]

James, I too have been having dpf troubles with my diesel ford car. I was interested in the Carly device in your promotion so I took a look. I was put off after realising that although the device is actually free, you would be paying a yearly subscription in excess of £50. Your discount code only applies to the first year too. So, BUYER BEWARE, be careful and read everything before making your purchase. Also, I live near Haworth. So a heads up of your intended visit date would be good. I may see you there. 😊

[@life_uncharted]

Hey that's our home town. Could have stayed on our drive if I'd known. Got you to smile for my camera 😉

[@deanprice1867]

Great video James as always! James if you ever get the opportunity you have to visit Applecross in Scotland it’s absolutely stunning and has a lovely little pub, oh and the views are absolutely breathtaking. Keep up the great work and have a great week👍🙏👍

[@CampingNE]

Have you been to Masham James? Maybe you have ? If not go.. great black sheep brewery and a lovely village! Cheers

[@jacquelinemoore7839]

Wow been years since i heard that song. Wow look at your muscels lucky Hellibobs. When you walk down a high street and its really really quite you should play "ghost town" fun boy three. That was lovely the James Herriot museum. Your telling me you didnt watch that on a Sunday along with Black Beauty!!!!

[@sassyshewolf2784]

Go to helmsley not far from Thirsk... lovely market town and a castle ruin

[@Two-Old-Travellers]

A good video this one, you seem a lot less stressed I’m sure getting that filter problem sorted. I think you enjoyed Thirsk as well the Church with the counterbalanced phont cover was well good. As for the chair not really my scene. But it was nice to see you looking less stressed. More please.

[@charlesmair26]

Another good one, young man.

[@ShelleyBentley-j7v]

Hi James, what a lovely, interesting, friendly town 😀 Beautiful church,and love thise little museums 😊 Your Beef sandwich lunch lokked delicious 😋 You must go back with Helen sometime, great charity shops 👍 Love the story of the chair,think i would be hesitant to sit in it 😮 Anyway really enjoyed, thanks ❤

[@stephenhawkins9627]

What about Boroughbridge. I camped there and loved it Nice few pubs, top butchers and coffee shops

[@nanganang7766]

Should do what the dice man used to do James, get subscribers to choose a place where you should go next, pick six places and number em then obviously roll a dice off ya go

[@nataliesmith303]

We love thirsk! We stayed there on the way back from Newcastle to Sheffield at the three tuns. Then we went back a month later and stayed in the Golden Fleece. We stayed in the dick Turpin suite which was great . It was certainly a great place to have a drink and look at the charity shops 😊

[@Red-ns9ny]

Thanks for that , I love James Herriot. I watched the series in my youth get years with pleasure. In the days of good tv . Houses are higher price there but lovely

[@Photofinish43]

Never had a walk around town as only went to the racecourse a few times back in the day. It does remind me of Ripon.

[@PaulM_aka_4c21]

Love Thirsk

[@andrewhewson3822]
