Visiting the Fleming Villa and a Love Letter to James Bond Novels

[@chobson8602]

This is my dream.

[@TheBondExperience]

It’s a beautiful place.

[@Hunter-ff1mv]

Yeah man, I live in Abaco Bahamas so it's very similar atmosphere here but I would still love to visit the Flemming Villa, maybe get some inspiration to write something, I love writing little story's

[@michaelpoplawski2998]

David, you knocked this one out of the park. You really captured the event and our thoughts and emotions. Now sitting here reliving this event. That house, that house. I want one. Thank you for making this happen. Here's to Goldeneye '24.

[@TheBondExperience]

Let’s go halvsies and get a house just like this!!!

[@markgwaldman3273]

Thanks for keeping the fires burning while Eon waits. And waits. And waits. Revisiting the source material always a great idea. So envious of all of you. What a wonderful adventure.

[@jeffreardon3969]

Great tour of the place where it all started. It was nice as well to see and hear from other fans. I really want to make the trip but doubt I would ever get that close to the desk where the creativity and creation of Bond developed over the years. Fantastic.

[@Asshole88]

You should and maybe your plane will crash.

[@TheBondExperience]

You never know….trust me, dreams do come true.

[@nerminjahic4125]

David your channel is a beacon of hope. The everlasting flame of James Bond movies is held by you at this point. Keep up the good fight, I hope to see a new movie soon, so you can get some fresh meat to cook us more meals to enjoy. Cheers.

[@neeniesfitlife413]

Great video David. Loved to hear each person’s favorite Fleming novel and why.

[@TheBondExperience]

Thank you! I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Fleming this year than with his fans.

[@johnquinn7279]

Wonderful.....Mr Fleming would have appreciated this for sure!

[@seanwarren5613]

Really enjoying these, David. Great to be there with you all virtually.🤵🏻

[@thomasgulde339]

Great David, your passion about Bond is an inspiration.

[@sunshinenative6220]

Simply incredible. I didn’t realize that this is an actual resort that the general public could book a stay at. Thank you David. This video was top notch. You even look a little like Daniel Craig.

[@GosseDrent]

Hi David, what a tremendous video this is. You present it in such a way that makes it so enjoyable to watch. Very calm, but still fun and informative. Also, love love love your outfit in this video. Cheers to 70 years of Bond novels. Dr. No is a solid choice as favourite, Jamaica just oozes being a 007-location.

[@agent00asmr]

That was so special, thank you for sharing and caring! In the words of bond himself... Who's strangling the cat? LoL, just kidding. This series of videos for this trip might be some of the best yet.

[@aledseago8631]

This was very emotional. Thank you

[@QTheMusicShow]

Brilliant! Wish I could have been there, but awesome video, very emotional!

[@DeMeza725]

Great Bond content, David! 👍 Greeting from Denmark.

[@TheBondExperience]

Thank you! 👍

[@JohnTalksMovies59]

Hi David An excellent video thank you for sharing Hoping one day to visit Goldeneye it was on my bucket list with my wife before she passed away last year Hope to make it one day in both Fleming's honour and her Keep up the great work

[@MartieD]

That song was just what I needed today.

[@TwoMoon71]

Excellent video! I would have to say "Moonraker" would have been my choice too. There are some passages near the end of that book that were really fantastic - you could tell Fleming was on a roll. What a gorgeous place to write.

[@andrew1212w]

One of your best Bond videos 👍

[@itchyelbows5653]

David, your content is stellar. Hope you get to make a TV documentary one day!

[@HotelActual03]

Wonderful. I love these videos. I almost wish you did a wrist check on everyone haha I saw a couple pepsi Seiko, Omega, and was happy to see the "Goldfinger" strap was in attendance. It's what I would have chose as well

[@willlsmith8063]

that was superb.......all the best from Scotland

[@TheBondExperience]

Many thanks!

Thanks for taking those intensive sun rays to the face for us David!

[@saabviggen93]

Great job. Thank you for sharing

[@yestoadventure007]

After coming back from here the first time in 2021, I had the dream that you would create an experience just like this for the 60th anniversary of Dr No. It did not occur to me that there was 70th anniversary of James Bond himself, which makes this event so much more poignant. When the 60th came and went, I thought, oh that would have been great but it shall remain just a fleeting fantasy. After returning from this trip and now watching this video the whole experience was "like a dream come true". Yeah that sounds mushy 😝 but the whole experience was mushy in the best possible way. Ultimately the secret ingredient is passion and the people, not just the ones in the video but all who are watching it around the world and who are connected to this hobby, this passion of James Bond. So just to say it simply David, thank you 🙏

[@TheBondExperience]

It was a treat for us all. So glad you could be there.

[@jonvalenti8786]

Wow, David - this is special

[@TheBondExperience]

Thank you! It was an emotional day.

[@stephensmith5065]

What a great video...did you ever visit the London Imperial War Museum for the Ian Fleming centenary exhibition back in 2008? I'm sure the desk that you and the rest of the fine people are sat beside was transported to the UK and a lot of other Fleming artifacts were on display. The exhibition was so good, it had his typewriter, desk, and loads of personal possessions, like his Rolex watches, pens, cigarette cases, and stuff from his schooldays like film footage of Ian doing cross-country running. Plus it had props from the films, like miniature planes and helicopters from the film, and Danial Craig's blood-soaked shirt from Casino Royale, amongst many other stuff. Cheers, that place looks unreal!

[@simonfirth2018]

Brilliant...

[@mattc1124]

What a beautiful voice!

[@Mr.Wayne.1]

Was that you singing in the intro??😂

[@TheBondExperience]

LOL....alas yes!

You are a Entertainer great video 👍👍💯💯

[@ChristophManuelJansen]

Haha, great that you used the song for your opening. Maybe we should do a „proper“ version some time 😂 Great video as always!

Fantastic video. Just listening to each participant’s introduction to their favourite James Bond book whilst sitting at Mr Fleming’s desk was wonderful. A magical experience for them and the viewer. Thank you David.

[@Sinclair-zw5px]

Cheers David! Well done!

[@Lordcomealot]

I just wanted to ask David have you ever been to Ian Flemings grave I went today and for such a massive franchise and all the brilliant books it’s eerily surreal you expect to notice it instantly but in a very Fleming way it a quiet little memorial surrounded by plants and animals I wanted to ask because even if you have just in case you haven’t you should video or no video just as a fellow bond follower I also expressly believe everyone else in this comment section and bond followers In general should

[@rubytroy7756]

Very enjoyable ❤

[@djtforever1414]

David, you have spent more time at Goldeneye than Ian Fleming did!

Little off topic but has anyone found connections between The Rock’s and NTTD ending? How both islands exploded with a Bond in them?

David are you currently in Jamaica at the release of this video?

[@denniswhite9721]

And I thought Pavarotti passed away a few years ago?

Was that Davi’s himself singing that song…

[@frankb821]

Jay could play Ian Fleming in a doc or movie...does anybody else see the resemblance?

[@dtuk22]

🍸001st. If you think David's singing is a little below par....try watching Eurovision. Jokes aside there can be no better place on Earth to kick back & read a Bond novel....I'm i Jealous ? Absolutely 👍

[@phmwu7368]

6:44 Ian Fleming' s character James Bond always wore a Rolex and used it as a knuckle-duster. The stories even mention when it was time for another watch. Moreover, British author Ian Fleming himself wore a Rolex Explorer 1016 (as did British zoologist Sir David Attenborough). All the Omega stuff remains product placement 🤔

[@TheBondExperience]

No argument there! 😊
