[@lindaevans9403]

I love your blogs , I found you just before Christmas and binged watched you , I had pneumonia and the love affection and politeness you show your mummy made me cry a few times ,

[@Edmund30s]

Hi Linda? I am delighted to hear you have enjoyed my videos🤗 And I wish you very best recovery. Albeit virtually, I hope my vlogs can make you feel “you are together”❣️ Your comment also makes me emotional🥹

[@denisepacey125]

One of your videos appeared on my youtube list after I had watched a video from a favourite vlogger in Seoul. I watched your video and thought it was so interesting and so went back to when you started and have now watched them all! Your love of books, art, food and London is so good to see. I particularly liked seeing your brother visiting and you spending time together and just recently, your mom. Also, your travel for business trips. I hope you continue to reach your goals. You work very hard and deserve success. 😊

[@Edmund30s]

Awwww Denise! Please be fully aware that your comment has entirely mesmerised me and made my day! Unforgettable words to me… I have never imagined to hear this compliment🥹 Fantastically touching, humbling to me🥰 I am chuffed that you had found out my vlogs, which I appreciate wholeheartedly ❣️

[@kyongmij936]

I am so impressed by your thoughtful attitude to your mom and your life.

[@Edmund30s]

Hello again, Kyong-Mi?:) Thanks for your lovely comment🤗 I feel delighted to hear my vlog was impressive to you🙈🥰

[@ddscurtis]

Thank you for sharing! The fish and chips look divine! My favorite meal, but terrible here in the states.

[@Edmund30s]

Fish & chips were immaculate 🙈 thanks for your visit!

[@Sm0700537]

I frequently visit London. I go to a lot of theater and love all the bookstores. Your videos are wonderfull.

[@Edmund30s]

Hello, Robert?:) thanks for your comment and hope you had many fond memories here in London🥰

Your videos are very calming. As someone living in Oklahoma, I love seeing London!

[@Edmund30s]

Hello Amanda? Thanks and happy to see you again😉

[@kevins2875]

"Dining out bill also includes cost of memories." Nice. Also, I love the Holly Bush.

[@Edmund30s]

Hello, Kevin! Thanks for agreeing with me and sharing love over the Holly Bush😉

[@theanglianflaneurs9423]

Nice one Edmund. You're a real flaneur now. Never stop exploring and discovering. As Charles Dickens said 'you only really know a city if you walk it'

[@Edmund30s]

Thanks, Anglian Flaneur:) so much well said! Ditto!

[@ckzf1842]

Pretty darn good life , living in one of the best neighbourhoods in London ! 👍

[@Edmund30s]

👋 Thank you:) Hope my vlogs show you more about London and England🤗

[@Sue-np9fp]

Hi Edmund! I loved your tour of Oxford-such a breathtakingly beautiful city; full of the culture and Romance of study, in its ivory towers! Your photography does it justice. Then the Holly Bush Pub in Hampstead-I also love these tucked away, little gems, in London; the atmosphere is so different to the hustle and bustle of the High street, just a few steps away! Your philosophical insights add another thoughtful dimension. I'm sure your mummy relishes the special time she has with you, how lovely to be able to enjoy all this together. Have you ever read a book called 'The Snow Goose', by Paul Gallico? I think you may enjoy it-but I won't give any 'spoiler alerts'...any good 2nd hand bookshop should have a copy-it may be out of print, now. Enjoy the rest of your week, and thanks for another lovely video! love sue xxx ⭐❤

[@Edmund30s]

Hello again, Sue!🤗 so keen was I to read your comment on my new vlog🫶🏻 as you share your contemplative musings about life and give me another peak into different dimensions of life☺️ It is extraordinary asset not only to me, but also to any readers of our dialogue here. I’m chuffed that you enjoyed my vlog! Oh and the Snow Goose 🪿❣️ I recall it was published in 1941..? With a wonderful background around the Essex marshes🥹 It was one of summer books in school! I only remember the cover of the book and haven’t read it…🙈 I will take a look at local bookshops. If unavailable, I have already found the book at Amazon and saved it in my basket😉🪿 I will read and quote from the book in my next vlogs🥰📖 (you may notice it😉) Thanks for sharing your beautiful insight and recommending books (as it is getting colder in London, I begin to go out even less, so I read more at home nowdays🤭)

[@khensley7057]

Love yr English accent ❤ great video!

[@k.be.2862]

Great video, very much enjoyed it!

[@Edmund30s]

Thank you again🤗😉

How I wish my children treated me as you do your mum ❤

[@sheilag9345]

I absolutely love your channel! I'm curious, how do you feel when you put together content to upload? Do you see it in a new light once it's edited? How does the editing process change the experience for you? Since you’re not typically in the shot, I imagine it might be a different experience compared to other KZbinrs who feature themselves in their videos. For me, I imagine not having to look at myself and dealing with all those inner thoughts would help me focus more on the scenery and the surroundings. The way you combine everything-especially the music-really brings the experience to life. Does editing enhance, change, or diminish your experience of the journey? Does it shift how you remember the trip, like the details of travel or even things like searching for a restroom? Also, how does your mother feel about being part of a KZbin project with you?

[@Edmund30s]

Hello, Sheila?:) thanks for your comment and questions, all of which I found lovely. Well, I always feel happy and rewarded when I release my vlog because it is the outcome of my musing about my life. It is entirely subjective view and a diary of my own life:) However, I feel my life also evolves along my vlogs supported by wonderful comments🥰 I genuinely appreciate all the comments here on my channel as it empowers me to look back on my thoughts and actions one way or another (including yours). Varying backgrounds spur diverse ideas and it is same with me. When I read comment such as “I was happy, it was calm video after my long days, etc”, I feel butterflies in my stomach simply because my vlogs made them happy🥹 I am no one but I could reach where I am standing now because of love and support of people around me. Personally, I feel responsible for returning it back to people around me, even better if they are my viewers and visitors to my channel❣️ Oh and regarding mummy, she feels happy to be featured in my vlog as we can seldom spend time together as I live abroad🥹

[@sheilag9345]

@Edmund30s I really enjoy your vlog because of the way you uniquely share your strength, hope, and life lessons. It’s both calming and precious to watch. The scenery is interesting, historical and cozy . I also love hearing your thoughts as you walk. Your channel brings me a sense of encouragement and peace. You’re making a real impact, and your intention is clearly reaching people both across the pond and beyond!

[@Edmund30s]

@ Your comment made my day after a long working day, Sheila! Please be aware that I also love to read your comments which reach me with lots of affection and heartfelt encouragement🥹🫶

[@margiekraftkindt4208]

Edmund, in one of your recent vlogs, I noticed your cutting board--I hope it is not one of those where, during use, teensy particles of plastic gradually wear away from the knife action and end up in your food--you eat so well and take such good care of yourself, that I would not want you to do anything inadvertent that would not be good for you . . . and thank you for such great, inspirational content!

[@Edmund30s]

Hello, Margie! Actually…I have been looking for wooden cutting board on the basis of recent comments including yours❣️ I really feel loved and appreciated by your comment and affection🙈 Please be aware that I genuinely read your comments fully with open mindedness! And yes I fully agree with you😉 I will soon post a new cutting board and also upload it in my Instagram story to show it to you and other viewers who recommended this same advice 🫶🏻 Please come more often and leave your advice and NEVER think you are meddling with🥹

I remember going to England a lot with my parents from NYC. My father worked in IBM headquarters on Madison ave in the 80's. We used to attend the Henley Regatta...what a wonderful time wearing the boating blazers and straw hats....they had a self induced dress code the ladies were amazingly feminine. I belong to a Shooting club here in NY...we shoot high pheasants and do all the traditional british tweed and what not ( fortunately for the pheasants I am not the best of shots) I also have horses and unlike the poor british with the harassment by the scabs in foxhunting we aren't bothered by people. Though the farmers who let us ride on their property tell us just dont talk about it.....We dont even have foxes...In my years I have never seen one on a hunt...lol we drag the scent the morning of the event behind a quad for the dogs to chase its just a excuse for us to run madley through the countryside falling off our horses and laughing. we have a big black tie ball on the weekends in season..I find the places to dress up are getting fewer and fewer so I love it. I myself am all alone after a 17 yr marriage after 5 yrs of being cloistered in my own sorrow I have learned to break out by myself to enjoy the autumn yrs of my life....Wonderful videos keep up the great work...cheers!

[@Edmund30s]

👋 Mr. Social 🦋 Butterfly?:) I am delighted you landed on my channel again with another life story of yours🥹 Blimey.. Madison Avenue in Manhattan New York in the 1980s… I can only imagine how it was like 👍 Your story of shooting club, black tie dress code and being with family sounds very exotic and adds embroidery of further imagination to me😎 I am happy you can share your life stories here on my channel and hope other viewers can travel back in time with your comments⏳

Hello Bel?:) 👋

[@thalesofmiletus2966]

£23 for a fish supper and peas!!! I thought £14 was expensive here in the east Neuk of Fife.

[@Edmund30s]

🤣 Hope it goes down to £14 here as well🥲

[@iainsanders4775]

Pity they don't have carpets at the NG - respectful hush..!
