You are very entertaining and not the least bit boring, and if you heard uproarious laughter from across the pond, that was me! 🤣🤣🤣
I’m watching Cruising the Cut off Amazon for I think the ninth time. I love the technical info, the lifestyle commentary, and especially the scenery. There’s a shot from the Macclesfield where the canal bends gently to the left with a mountain ridge running across the frame behind it that reminds me of one of my favorite bits of road near where I live.
I watched quite a few of the YT videos too, and I thought your relining the shower showed lots of problem-solving ingenuity and stick-to-it-iveness.👍👍👍 I think I watched all the videos here as well, and you’re right, Wales is spectacular.
All the best to you!
Awww thank you so much! I’m delighted you have enjoyed them. I’m also pleased you found it on YouTube, which carries on where Prime left off (for reference, at about vlog 201 or thereabouts). Cheers!
Thank you for the info on UK van life. My parents sold their home in Kansas & lived in their motorhome for 7 years and I dreamed of doing that in the UK — so your info was extremely helpful! Love watching your channels, especially Cruising The Cut.
Keep up the bloody brilliant work!
That’s extremely kind of you to say, thank you so much! :-)
Thanks for that, watched it all, you have a nice way about you, a good presenter, easy listening voice. Thanks.
Thank you :-)
Hi David, thanks very much for your videos – I have watched them all and enjoyed them a lot.
I do have one question if you don’t mind – do you have an estimate of how much time it took you to do the conversion? All the best to you.
Hard to remember but for insurance purposes I had to get it done within six months. I think it took nearly all of that because of doing it outside over winter which meant there were many days when I couldn’t work or it was too cold for the glue etc.
Thanks for the 3 q&a which I binge watched. Interesting and entertaining as usual.
Thank you :-)
