Yorkshire Friends & Birdwatching - Americans visit England

In this video we take you along on an action-packed day of Yorkshire adventures on the 4th of July! Starting with a visit to Falling Foss waterfall and their famous tea room for a Cream Tea with big scones and plenty of clotted cream… followed by a drive through Scarborough… a visit to Flamborough Cliffs for some seabird spotting… a trip to Bempton Cliffs for some more birdwatching… a stop in Bridlington for a dinner of award-winning Fish & Chips… then back to our Airbnb for some patriotic cupcakes… and finally a surprise visit from a lovely avian friend early the next morning!
We spend the day with our friends Gary and Debbie visiting from Texas and our Yorkshire-based friends Nick & Jill who we were meeting in person for the first time!

Ooh, those scones with "proper" clotted cream looked amazing!! I lost count of the number of scones I had this summer in the UK. It was a LOT!! I keep saying I'll have to bake my own... 😅

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I'm impressed that you can eat the infinite number of scones and still remain so slim, Julie! Well done!

Every time I hear "gannet" I giggle. Too much Monty Python when I was younger. The bookshop sketch. It is an absolute cack. I thought I'd better google cack in case it means something else. Cack in Australian means laugh. In British it means excrement. Actually it means that too in Australian. One of those words that have a double meaning depending on the context. We could say "I had a cack at my mate who'd cacked his dacks". How cool you got to meet Nick and Jill. The fish 'n' chips looked pretty reasonable until remembered it was all in pounds. Oh my, approaching Oz prices there. One of the reasons we rarely go out for fish 'n' chips any more. We do make it at home when we can get some cheap fish and prawns though. Your fish and chips looked pretty good. So did the cup cakes. I think I might go have a chockie bickie.

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Loved seeing Nick and Jill decked out so patriotically for the Fourth of July! I've NEVER seen him in anything but black either! 🤣🤣

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I felt very privileged that he dressed up for us!!!

[@Poliss95]

Hardly ever see a house sparrow these days.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

You would see them at Bempton!

[@AfzalJamila]

Wow beautiful family happy family's home thanks for sharing my friend ❤❤❤❤

[@Poliss95]

How do they know they can smell their dinner from 15 miles away?

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Would be fun to observe that experiment!

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

What a fun video with old & new friends! Ian cracked me up in the cave! Beautiful bird sightings and the coast line is just stunning! Fish & chips looked delicious! Great video Dara! ~Cara ❤

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers it's so fun to meet dear KZbin friends that you've been talking to for years! Too bad you are going to England when I'm not there!!!

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Sea bird city looks beautiful. So happy you saw so many puffins!

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

I think in this instant the Puffins have to share the limelight with the American Hunk and consort. Jill and Nick you guys ROCK. 🇺🇸! What a lovely day out with fabulous people. So pleased your friemdsmgot to see the puffins and add birds to his list. The gannets were gorgeous. We have them in New Zealand too - a breeding colonie. Scones, yes please. Dara that was awesome to watch. And those stone chairs at the cabe, did your wish come true? Fun to look back on this adventure in that lovely AirBnB with friends. Happy weekend and I hope you get your kitchen back soon. 👍🇳🇱🙋🏼‍♀️🥝🇺🇸

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@IamaDutch-Kiwi if only my memory weren't so bad, maybe I could remember what I had wished for! I am going to say yes it did!

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

@@MagentaOtterTravels best answer Dara. 👌

[@jeanlongsden1696]

Dara makes a wish (next scene) ... Ian isn't there but he reappears later on. maybe Dara needed to sit on the chair longer (just kidding).

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

heehee

[@griswald7156]

It’s great in Scabby Barbara…

[@ElizabethHonoria138]

Dara, is it difficult to adjust to driving on the left side of the road and navigating the car from the right side then changing it all back in Texas? A LOVELY scenic account of the Yorkshire coast. Thank you for taking the time to share the beautiful photos. XX

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@ElizabethHonoria138 well, a couple days ago I drove for the first time in five months! It hasn't been a problem for me accidentally to drive on the left side of the road... Ian did all the driving in Britain, but then he did some driving in Germany as well. So I think he's adjusted to the right side of the road. No slip ups so far!

[@jemmajames6719]

Stop, stop! You made me anxious, please don’t go near cliff edges again! No way would I stand there!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Everyone was making me really anxious too!!!

[@stevemartindale4446]

Lighthouse Fisheries in Flamborough village would have been a better choice. Maybe next time!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@stevemartindale4446 is that a chippy? I would be happy to try them out next time!

[@vanburger]

Bravo Dara!! You didn't say if you loved the scones at falling Foss. But that drop of vanilla in the mix for us has always set them apart.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

They were very good... BUT not the best. We love super fresh warm scones, and those we give highest marks to ;-)

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Wow, those gannets are pretty! Fish and chips 🤤

Watching this video made me realize i dont think i have ever seen a bird in the US just flying by

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@what_im_eatin_uk we have a robin who has a nest in our front tree and hangs around in front of our house all the time. And lots of grackles who always hang around the car parks! We sometimes see birds of prey flying around here in suburbia as well ...

@@MagentaOtterTravels I thought there might have been some historical reason for saying it that way.

[@jeanlongsden1696]

@@what_im_eatin_uk it is probably because all the Americans at that time was European.

[@The_Brit_Girls]

It's interesting that "the 4th of July" is always referred to in that way - not the usual way of July 4th. I wonder why? 🤔

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

It's bizarre, innit?

[@archiebald4717]

Superb!

[@Poliss95]

You were a bit close to that cliff edge Dara. I'd be standing a lot further back!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I was MUCH further back then everyone else in the group!!
