Hi Bob and Jenny a fabulous video and love Blists Hill we have been many times over the years it used to be you could buy your ticket as a passport and you could visit all other sites in the iron bridge gorge over the years which was good as there is so much history all around there The iron bridge and Jack field tile museum were also interesting It’s a great day out and love seeing the people in character and the shops and changing into old money at the bank If you are ever my way the Black Country museum is very similar and a good day out! Glad you all had a great day out and must go again soon myself! All the best Daniel
Fascinating day out. Loads of things to see there. Sounds like Bob is keen to see the Bank Manager Jenny 🤣 Better keep an eye on him 😉 Very enjoyable video 👍🏻💙 Trev n Sue
Hi Both, Really glad you had a lovely time very interesting going around seeing all the different things & recognising one or two things glad the weather was kind to you all the best Lin 💞👍🦋
Thank you for the tour, not somewhere we have visited but will add to our list. The “pie” in the kitchen near the hot cross buns was a Simnel Cake which is traditionally eaten at Easter time. The top and the little round balls are made of marzipan which cover a spiced fruit cake.
This is so strange. My late mum knew a lady that moved to Neath from that area and she used to take the toll on the iron bridge. I met her via my mum many years ago, she has passed away but she loved her job. I can’t remember her name for the life of me. Great video.
I love places like that not been there though. Someone mentioned the iron kerbs, i am sure they were for scraping mud off your boots ( as the roads could get very muddy) could be wrong?
Another great video Bob. Jenny made me laugh. ''Trouble getting into bed ? I'd have trouble getting onto that''. I was thinking the exact same thing, and then Jenny said it !!!!! Lets have a go Jenny and see who gets into the worse mess. Bob will have to help us both on,,,, And off !!!! xxxxx
Thai has taken me down memory lane. I didn’t realise Jenny worked for a bank. I worked for one for 18 years. (Our branches quiz team was Where Eagles Dare) 23:16 We always used to go in the pub as legend in our family is we are related to the Banks’s brewing family (my maiden name was Banks). It’s probably not true 😂. They didn’t have the scary train line or the post box collection last time I went. We have a picture taken there back in 2002 ish with Steve, our children and me all dressed up. It’s still one of my favourites. Take care Gill
That brought back some memories. I will have to get Lindsay to sit down and tell the story of Craig's day there. They had just started building the Spry on that visit. I think I need to go back LOL. Thanks Bob and Jenny, did you leave Glynn at school?
Hi guys congrats on the motorhome, so funny I thought oooh a quiet cabin ...then realised you'd bought a new one 😅 Just about to go from a caravan to motorhome this week and was concerned about engine power, when I heard you mention the power improvement it intrigued me. What was the power of the previous Motor. My purchase is 150hp which is ok I hope with 3.5T max weight on 7.38 meter. Hope u can get back to us on that. Have fun
@BobEarnshawMoHo ah , thanks for the reply, well at least we aren't getting the 130bhp I suppose. Just the weird comfortmatic gearbox to get our heads around now. Funny the little touches you do to your wagon that you suddenly remember when you say goodbye to them. Sure you'll be making some new touches on this one. Thanks
I assumed they were to protect the paving bricks from the metal cart wheels? But I don't actually know? Hopefully someone with the knowledge will tell us.
Hi Bob do you use a go pro ? And do you live on the road campsite to campsite all the time , watch your video every day as you don’t do click bait , thanks 🙏 Dan
Thanks for watching. I've used GoPros since I started the channel in 2017, had a Hero 5,6,7,8,10,11 and 12. No we don't full time, we have a very nice house to go back to. 😄
@@BobEarnshawMoHo thanks bob have you ever been to Ayr campsite at st Ives very nice ! Which campsite is the best dog friendly you been to as I have three Shihtzu! Thanks
Jenny : get Bob to take a hearing test. Bob: GET A HEARING TEST. Hi both joking apart are you editing your videos with headphones on,just wondering because sometimes the sound volume and quality is a bit all over the place. Nice vids.thanks
No, I don't use headphones. Premiere Pro has a 'loudness' feature, which I tend to use for speed of editing. It doesn't always get it right as it sometimes amplifies the background sounds. I should hire a sound crew shouldn't I? 😀
Love this place! Visited about 25 years ago with my parents. Hope to return with Neil someday 😊
You should!
LOVE IT !!!!
Clad you enjoyed we live 2mins away you could have come round for a coffee 😂 x

Thanks, I think we'd get the passport if we were local.

Had a long chat with the 'Bank Manager', but it was just about him wanting to visit Southport. 😄
Thank you!
Ended up in a mock church wedding there and off to the pub for a singsong good atmosphere and they all act the part
What a fabulous place and I loved the Signal cake! It's been a long while since I saw one of them :). Ian

Love Bliss Hill. We visited again last October whilst staying up for a visit to NEC camping show. 😊😊

Thanks, it was a good looking spread.
Its a shame the blacksmiths wasnt operating. Its interesting to watch large chains being made

Thanks, pity we didn't have time for the Iron Bridge.

Yes, heaven help you if had an accident on that!
Ray & I had a couple of pints in the pub there
Yes, we remember that.😀

Seems logical that you ended up in a Bank then. 😀
That brought back some memories. I will have to get Lindsay to sit down and tell the story of Craig's day there. They had just started building the Spry on that visit. I think I need to go back LOL. Thanks Bob and Jenny, did you leave Glynn at school?
Lol, we needed Glyn to drive us home. 😄

Hope u can get back to us on that.

Our previous motorhome was 150 bhp and it was good for that.

Thanks for the tour, I haven't been since before covid. Did you notice the iron kerb edges along the pavements by the shops?
I must go again sometime.
Yes, what are they for?
I assumed they were to protect the paving bricks from the metal cart wheels? But I don't actually know? Hopefully someone with the knowledge will tell us.

@@BobEarnshawMoHo thanks bob have you ever been to Ayr campsite at st Ives very nice ! Which campsite is the best dog friendly you been to as I have three Shihtzu! Thanks
I don't know a Ayr campsite at St. Ives. I don't think we have a best dog friendly site, all CMC sites are good with dogs.
It's very similar to Beamish museum
Except that Blists Hill is just one period, around 1900 and Beamish has several areas in different ages, 1820's, 1900's, 1940's and 1950's.
Jenny : get Bob to take a hearing test.
Bob: GET A HEARING TEST.
