thanks for this. i'm struggling in life at the mo after the death of my mum and videos like this give me something to look forward to. I'd like to visit. I always asked my mum to travel with me and she kept putting it off esp after COVID. This is one of places she would have probably visited with me and actually enjoyed. That makes me quite sad. Let that be a warning to those who get invited to travel and keep putting it off. You never know what's round the corner in life. You can get an illness out of nowhere so never put things off. Thanks for the video.

[@LivingWalks]

Hello @bluebellbeatnik4945, how sorry we are to hear about the loss of your dear Mum. We have both lost our beloved parents and recognise what a difficult time it is when you lose someone so loved. We do agree that it's so easy to put things off and it often takes something profound to wake us up to that. We feel very humbled to bring you our little walking tours and we wish you all the very best.

Ah good to have this here to bring back a happy memory or two when needed.

[@leighyogamindfulness]

Hats off to the man in purple at the start of the video. I zoomed in on his sign, and he's doing a SIX MONTH slow motion walk to raise money for Ukraine! Wow.

[@LivingWalks]

That's right LY&M, what a star that man is!

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

Slow motion walk?? Haha😂😂

[@mindfulart8217]

I think you must be the most smooth and steady walker on youtube, despite the crowds you navigated the city with your usual graceful choreography.

[@LivingWalks]

Glad you enjoyed the walk MA, it's always a pleasure to hear from you. All the best to you.

[@rachelhenderson2688]

I lived in York for 7 years, and if it wasn't for my daughter and grandchildren, I 'd go back like a shot!

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there Hacen, how interesting to hear about your time spent in York in 1977-1978. I can quite understand your love of York, and I hope you do get to revisit soon and in the meantime our walks here can bring you a little closer until you can be there for real. Best wishes to you.

Thinking more toward tourist than native Yorkies of which I have many family members across the pond and Australians as well.

Hi Barry, yes I guess tourists can sometimes get frazzled!

My mother was born in the shambles. My grandfather was an apprentise butcher but WWl changed all that.

Morning Barry, ah yes, as it changed so many lives. Hope you enjoyed your glimpse into York.

[@FatNorthernBigot]

I can practically smell the Jorvic centre after watching this. Thank you for uploading. 😁

Glad you enjoyed it Andrew, ha ha yes the smell of the Jorvic centre is somewhat pervading!

Interesting, walkable city.. great place to walk and explore the city with out car in the streets .. a narrow street at 17:10. Well done video as always.

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for visiting friend. I popped by your channel recently but it said you have no content, is that correct or a youtube prob'?

[@lifeincanadabylusy5743]

Hi AW, Ha ha AW, good to see you are in NY... rain has followed you even there... Remind me not to go on holiday with you. Love your walks rain or shine.

[@donroy7825]

Hi LW !! Wow, thanks for this. That was such a good route, well done 😊👍. Touching on all the main delights of York City ✅. We have been in York for the past three days in this fabulous weather, having fun in the City (so far we have walked 20 miles 👫 ⛪️ 🏛🛳 👨‍🍳 🥘). I have taken a few shots with my phone, I will see if I can put something together 🍀. Best wishes, Don 🚹

[@LivingWalks]

Hello there Don, always a pleasure to hear from you. It certainly makes it worthwhile to connect with such people as yourself, and your footage is appreciated in return. York is a pleasure to be in isn't it. I'm glad you're enjoying yourselves, I look forward to seeing your take on it when the footage is up on your channel.

[@raymondporter2094]

The views from a walk around the City Walls....?

[@LivingWalks]

Ah great minds think alike Raymond, we do have one ready to go up at some point, so watch this space.

[@NA-mc8cl]

It is nice to be there ..How far from London to York?

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there, it's about 220 miles from London and easily reachable by train.

How are you doing fellow walker?

Thanks E!

[@mulalahijab5757]

I can't understand the weather right there, some of them wear like summer and some of them wear like end of winter.

[@barrychandler5250]

Was planning a trip from U.S. to York to see where mother was raised but after watching video, too many rude people and I hate crowds . Think at 70 years old , I will just remember all the stories mother told me and stay home.

[@LivingWalks]

Hi Barry, we've had no experience of meeting any rude people ourselves but It can certainly get very crowded. Good to have those happy stories from your Mother. All the best to you.

[@rachelhenderson2688]

York people are not rude! In the 7 years we lived there, people were friendly and kind. Be kind to them.

[@LivingWalks]

@@rachelhenderson2688 we certainly felt so!

[@MsCheesemonster13]

I think you made the right decision; if you hate crowds, a very touristy city with many narrow streets is not the place to be. And think of the money you will save. 👍 😊

[@barrychandler5250]

Just seemed like people were stepping in front of you and almost bumping into you. Not one smile in the whole video.

[@LivingWalks]

Ah ha ha Barry, we have a way of being invisible seemingly. I guess this was a busy shopping day too, so folk were perhaps preoccupied. All the best to you.

[@patriciadrury8557]

Brought lovely memorie,s back but missed witmarwotmargate

Thanks for dropping by Patricia, pleased to hear it did. We do pass witmarwotmargate on our second York walk, so stay tuned. All the best to you.
