So beautiful. The scenery, the music, the chatting. Could almost cry.

She is so delightful!

I was going to post this same thought. Including the almost crying.

Yes , I felt the same. Northumberland is so beautiful and you two are a joy.

Me too! We could have been neighbors.......or even perhaps cousins.

Same here! Ancestral home of Clan Armstrong💪🏻 hope to visit one day! Until then, I’m so grateful for virtual travels of scenic views of breathtaking fells! 🥲

Loved the scenic drive as always..the stone fences are fascinating . How very interesting re the “ Day light robbery “ ...I love knowing stuff like that. I bet the goodies were very much appreciated.

[@DeliaLee8]

I haven't heard that expression in years - daylight robbery. Thanks for reminding me!

[@joysedgwick812]

I’m fascinated by the expression “stone fences”, we just call them drystone walls - they have no cement sticking them together, thus “dry”.

[@dijones9217]

@@joysedgwick812 😂🤣 being a New Zealander I never thought of that. I did watch a program once where they were building a stone wall ..it was fascinating and so clever. Just natural for me to think fence instead of wall 😆💐

[@knittingnana2939]

Anna is so lovely and Kate is so generous.

[@tuttsclumpcottage7911]

The scenery and gates reminded my of James Herroit.

[@Tallen-xk7dm]

I believe the TV show based on Herriot's life, "All Creatures Great and Small" was filmed in Northumberland, where Kate lives. It airs here in America on PBS, our public broadcasting network. The scenery is just beautiful!

[@glenysperry3421]

That is what came to my mind also, the hills and stone fences.

[@jennyjewell5635]

It was filmed in the Yorkshire Dales but has many similarities to Northumberland

[@joycecouper1334]

Daylight robbery, think I knew that in the back of my mind somewhere, but had forgotten it. Lovely to know that you're both excited by words and phrases too.

[@jackierudd2010]

The true feel of christmas! Handmade with love. I'm getting back into a bit of soap making and knitting for next years gifts. I've put all my liberty quilts to the side for now..need a break to get inspired again!

[@heatherwatson7692]

I'm a big fan of the American TV show and man Mr Fred Rogers. When I was a young child in kindergarten I would watch Mr Rogers every afternoon and I considered him to be one of my friends. This episode reminded me of how Mr Rogers would take us on adventurers around his neighborhood. Thank you for sharing this fun delivery of your Christmas gifts that with love and joy you created to share.

The scenery is beautiful. I thought I'd see Compo, Cleggy, and Foggy leaning up against one of those rock fences!!

I'm in Charleston SC, where I was born. South Carolina has some lovely smaller towns like Beaufort, Aiken, Abbeville, making for wonderful daytrips in normal times. I am so enjoying Kate's channel. Learned about it recently from the Arne and Carlos channel. Loving that Kate chose "O Come O Come, Emmanuel" for the musical interlude, one of my favorite Christmas songs. I remember first learning it 60 years ago in junior high music class.

Thank your Kate and Anna. It was lovely to drive along with you both, enjoying the beautiful country side.

[@sherylpenny7590]

The best holidays I have had is driving the beautiful English countryside. I soon learned why you need small cars, it’s because of the tiny roads. Loved this video

[@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854]

My heart hurt watching this video. From being a child up until my late 40's I spent many many happy hours walking in North Yorkshire, weekends away, craft fairs, watching sheepdog trials, visiting ropemakers and the like . In my 50's I became ill, could no longer drive or travel and now at 60, I know I will never see such beautiful countryside again. It is so hard to imagine my world without the wild open countryside in it. But thanks to you, I can continue my journey through your travels and 'exploits' 😉 Bless you and Thank you so much x

[@rebeccasloan3605]

Thank you Kate and Anna for the beautiful drive. Merry 🎄 Christmas.

What a great way to spend a morning! Thanks for bringing us along. We had a beautiful view!!

[@katrinaevans1875]

Beautiful. Talking about the daylight robbery expression reminded me of others that I learned in Stratford upon Avon when doing the Shakespeare weekend. Upper crust - refers to the top of a loaf of bread. The bottom was always black from the bottom of the fire oven so you would slice it across, giving your important guests the better top bit. The guest became known as Upper Crust. Threshold - thresh being the stalks left from the wheat harvest, this was spread on the floor and a board was placed at the bottom of the doorway to stop it spilling out, to hold the thresh in. We think that baby carriers worn on bodies is a new thing but to keep crawling babies off the threshed floor (animals were often kept in there too) they used to be wrapped up in cloth and hung on a hook on the wall by the cloth! I know - imagine - "Mary hang our youngest on that hook", lol.

[@janvas7690]

Spectacular scenery! Some parts look so isolating and desolate! Thanks for taking us along.

One of the things I miss the most during all this Covid lock down, is being able to see my far away friends and family this Christmas. You brought joy into my heart today, as I watched this. I also want to thank you for asking people to leave the politics at the doorstep, so that we may have a lovely time chatting about our missed friends, our craft projects and our beloved furry and feathered friends. You are an angel in my life at this point. Sending a virtual hug. Adele.

I'm in Minnesota USA and because of the harsh winter weather our roads are always full of potholes or spots that have been filled from one season to the next. it's really Quiet a mess. I love your shows and they inspire me so much. I'm going to try hand quilting again after watching you. Thank you Kate and Anna.
