You are just like me Maria, we were brought up on good old fashioned food. You had to eat or go hungry hehe. It was fresh quality good food. Pizza, Italian, Indian food have never appealed to me, was never an option. I was born in Derby and i know staffordshire quite well good shopping centres. We have now retired to the coast nearer my two sons. I also loved History at school it was and still is my favourite subject. Love your channel and have made a lot of things off there. keep up the good work

My dad came from a coastal area in Carmarthenshire so I spent a lot of my summer holidays staying there with my gran, aunts and cousins. Thank you for watching our channel, we very much appreciate it. I'll keep having a go with the air fryer, I just don't have as much to cook this time of the year, but I won't abandon it 😊

my maiden name was Richardson , grew up in Oldbury near West Bromwich . my Grandad I was told came from Wales , never followed it up. I could no afford patron , I do enjoy joining you on you tube , just as you are . thank you 🙂

[@therichardsonssimpleliving]

Dean's great granddad was born in Oldbury, but they didn't hail from Wales. They'd originated from Stowe and Eccleshall in Staffordshire. I won't do patreon, I shall keep my channel as it is, free to anyone who's interested in watching it. Thank you for your kind words and for watching 😊

I rarely use my fb page! I don’t like fb but instagram is lovely. Be great to see you on there! I do love a QnA video 😍

[@therichardsonssimpleliving]

I'm going to try setting up Instagram, everyone tells me I should give it a go. I did have twitter, or x, for a while but I removed it as I couldn't get on with it. I like to do q&a's and I like watching other people's, I find them interesting. Congratulations on reaching 1000 subs! I enjoy watching the places you visit. Thank you for watching 😊

@@therichardsonssimpleliving yeah I don’t use any of those others either tried it but just tbh don’t want to add more and more social media to keep up with. Iam going live tonight at 6pm doing a little QandA myself! 😬 Thanks 🙏 Still chasing the watch time but enjoying the journey and being more consistent! Really enjoying your varied videos, I watched the one on YT monetisation which I found super helpful so thank you. I can’t always comment on videos as I watch on the TV sometimes! Xx

[@therichardsonssimpleliving]

@@thehighlandlife2023 I've not tried doing a live yet, but I hope to try one in the not so distant future. I look forward to watching yours. I'll have to watch it later though as I'll be out for my granddaughter's birthday when you go live. I'm sure it won't be too long before you get your watch hours. I was the other way round, I had my watch hours first.

Hi again Maria, I'm daft I wrote a comment on here before and I must have pressed the the wrong button🤪 I just want to say thank you for this q& a it was a good un. I did write two things about pizza and rice, pizza in the south of Italy was usually baked in a wood oven and that gave pizza its delicious taste and it was always a thin crust with tomatoes and cheese ontop. I think the US introduced all the varieties now. And just a little story about rice. I was about four years old and we family were invited to dinner at West Indian friends of my parents. I still remember it, it was beef in spices but not curry as such, not hot and served with boiled rice, I looked at my mum and said why are we eating rice pudding with our dinner, I've never lived that down🤣 having been married to my late husband who Italian I learned a lot about different foods from Italy but we traveled a lot too and so have eaten many different types of food and although I was raised on good ole English grub like yourself, I so love foods from around the world and love to cook them. Honestly I'm a daft nana I sat here and waved back at dean😂😂😂 also Maria it would be lovely to have a live meeting on here, would be a laugh. Thanks again.😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@therichardsonssimpleliving]

I probably would like more foods than I think if I tried them. Your travels and food experiences sound wonderful. I'll tell Dean you gave him a wave 😂

[@marylynas5223]

All the houses I’ve lived in have also been pulled down, wondering what will happen to the house I live in now 😂 Love from Durham ❤

[@therichardsonssimpleliving]

The house I live in now was built by prisoners of war at the end of ww2 when they needed housing for the returning soldiers and their families. They were only meant to be temporary, but they're still here 80 years later! Thank you for watching 😊

[@BellyBurly87]

Yes it's definitely salad season. Xxx some genealogy stories would be interesting x

[@therichardsonssimpleliving]

I could do a whole channel on geneology, it's fascinating, and for every question answererd you get at least two more unanswered. x

[@BellyBurly87]

That's really interesting about how you and Dean met xx i think you were wise not to go on universal credits I've heard so many horror stories and they've harassed me too x There's multiple reasons I do patreon but I get what you are saying. I can't do sponsored stuff either because I'd have to be honest like you said from Victoria x

[@therichardsonssimpleliving]

It does raise curious looks when I say me and Dean met in the English civil war 😂 I understand your reasons for doing patreon, sometimes it is necessary. x

[@BellyBurly87]

@therichardsonssimpleliving haha I bet it does. Next time just say you met in the civil war then don't explain further lol xx

[@sandradent4094]

Hi Maria, you're the same as me, i'm very fussy as well. I think i'm worse than you as i wouldn't even try a pizza as i don't like cheese or tomato paste. I don't like fat, peppers, mushrooms, pasta, rice, onions, plus other stuff. You used to do some days out with Sean which were interesting to do with her school work. You should film a few places to shop where you don't normally go to. You could try M&S, you can get some cheaper stuff in there now. Even if you don't buy anything you could say what you thought of the prices. You could maybe do a review on a hoover or a pressure cooker if a company sent something like that to you

[@therichardsonssimpleliving]

Sadly I haven't got an M&S in my shopping town. We tend to go online for bigger stores which we haven't got near us. We have got some days out lined up, but I'll probably do them in a similar format to our river walk as I'm terrible at filming.
