The IVY, York. Is She Worth it? 🤣

[@sharonbaxter1449]

In this crazy world it is so nice to watch nice people do nice things. I am from Texas and if I ever get to England and surrounding areas these are the exact things I will be doing. History, good food , good drink, and laughter. God Bless you nice people.

[@taurusthebull22]

Without a doubt, the best double act t'internet has ever seen. Love you two.

[@lynnettemcausland9532]

She absolutely is worth it 100% & you're her biggest fan. I love watching how down to Erth Helen is, love watching her drink her pints and enjoy her food, we should see more lovely ladies doing this instead of watching women eat salads & drink sips of water lol. She's my kind of best friend who would encourage you to eat the cake and love life. You guys just match so well, I say it every time. Looks like you had an absolute blast. Thanks for taking us along with yous 💕

[@suewilkinson910]

I love food! No salads here, unless it's as a side to something else. But much as I'd love too, drinking 3 glasses of red would have me asleep on the table. Same with more than 2 pints over a long period. Such a shame. So much water has to be sipped while everyone else has the plonk. I'm always the designated driver for our little village supper club. Me and a guy who has to drive him mother home after we return because she baby sat for him. 6 people get to enjoy the food and the expensive wine. 2 of us share a large bottle of fizzy water and get to claim 1 non-alcoholic drink on the tab. I think we come off badly there.

Yes me too !!!

[@philaitch8586]

Like others, I thought this was going to be the Engagement stream, a luxury hotel, going to a nice restaurant, one of your favourite places and pubs. It had everything needed to set the scene for the perfect proposal. Helen kept saying it was so romantic, but it was James just being extra nice to Helen because she works so hard ❤. Very thoughtful, James. Have a ring handy next time!😉. Another lovely video as always.

Nooo, she's just happy. That's what Northerners are like. Well, there are 2 types of Northerners. The miserable old git, sit in a corner studying one pint all night type and the happy, talk to anybody, makes the best of every situation type like Helen. She's adorable.

[@suewilkinson910]

She's a lucky girl too. I have a Northerner husband quite like James in many ways. They are lovely men to be with. Kind, caring, don't show off, good to the people they love. Can't get much better than that. Mine's a much better cook though. Thank goodness because I got bored of cooking decades ago but I do love a nice meal.

Thanks so much

[@kittyroo-x4p]

I absolutely adore York; it's got a special magical atmosphere. Got a hack for you if you want to go into the Minster free of charge and quicker, because normally the queue is massive. If you tell the guards at the door that you wish to pray in one of the private chapels, they will let you in immediately. But please do have a little prayer, (I always do) and maybe give a donation to light a candle, otherwise it's cheating a bit, and that's not nice.

Hi, York one of our favourite places too and we don't live too far away. The Black Swan, you didn't say much about it, did you read about the angry resident ghost who stands at the bar wearing a bowler hat? Well my husband saw him not realising it was him when he walked past. It's TRUE! 😮

We didnt hear about that. Thanks for sharing!! 😳

Pleased yo7 enjoyed York, I live just outside, nice to visit, but it’s always rammed, and pricey, next time have a pint in The Snikelway on Goodramgate, you two would love it in there, proper pub, and decent prices. Take care both. 🍺👍

Nice to still see a lovely traditional, olde England city not yet spoilt by . . . I'll leave that one to you. I'm from Canterbury and its such a horrible place these days. So James and Helen, if you do venture 'dan sowf'. Save your time and money And don't come to Canterbury. Maybe Tunbridge Wells or go to Benidorm again ❤

That's sad. I've not been to Canterbury but it sounds like it should be perfect. What's happened to it?

Full of feral kids. High crime. Homelessness, professional beggars. Loads of stores closed and now it's full of coffee shops. Parking is extravagant and the head of the church of England is a woke, lefty, looney plonker. Apart from that..... you may like it 🤐
