Favourite inspiration for travel

yes same sort of storyline

Any Bird Guide whether in Europe or the UK gets my interest. Sometimes the catalyst is History but we'll look for something to include our other Hobbies, like Birdwatching, Walking or Cycling. 

Anything with all 4 of them tends to have us check out the local Estate Agents as well.

Why would anyone want to have a storyline about the Royal Family? It all seems to be common knowledge and frankly most of it is boring. Didn't realise though that it included Caceres. Can't remember them going there on a Royal visit.

Won’t say another word then.

I am binge watching Peaky Blinders at the moment. Up to fifth series. Some of it filmed in Yorkshire. Love the horses, they are from a farm near Goole, Atkinsons Action Horses. Specialists in horses for on camera, like The Devils’s Horsemen.

Enjoying A Discovery of Witches as well at the moment. Mostly filmed in South Wales, uses Carew Castle, but a beautiful French Castle as well, and Venice. And Oxford.

Mrs WN has her nose stuck in You Tube videos from across the world as her Bedtime viewing. All of them are something to do with Painting or Drawing. It could be technical or just losing yourself in someone else's genius. I've seen a couple of really spectacular ones where she's shown me the finished article.

She does like to get into the technical details as well so will look into Pigmentation of colours, oiling out etc. The beauty of these videos is that many have been done by the artists/instructors during lockdowns and you get to see how other parts of the world are dealing with it.

There was one from Singapore very early on in the pandemic when he was locked down in his high rise apartment so all of his drawings were of views from his high storey building.

She's been all around the world with these, from New Zealand to Canada to Finland etc. Keeps her out of mischief.

Not for me. I get giddy on thick carpet.

We sometimes sit and watch art and craft videos, always enjoyable😁

There were some travel gems in the Stories section on here, sad that this record of so many places visited has been lost and jumbled up, the photos no longer match the stories. I've always wanted to go to Chasncath's favourite French coastal site! 🍦🍦

Although it won't happen for us, we have been engrossed watching Youtube videos on the TV. We are subscribed to three canal narrowboat Vbloggers, 'Cruising the Cut' 'Narrowboat Journeys' and 'Foxes Afloat'.

Using HD cameras they/we are travelling the length and breadth of the canal system and along the way have seen many canal side sites, of which we have booked two for later in the year.

'Narrowboat Journeys' Phil actually lives and travels with no permanent mooring, and his video films are lightly edit along with his own composed relaxing music (Kryfold Sky)

'Cruising the Cut' is more heavier edited and 'Foxes afloat' are permanent cruisers and heavily into commentary and laughs, also giving factual references to everything of interest in passing.
