    3. wow , all that wild garlic , it all looked very pretty , but it would actually make me feel ill , as i'm allergic to it lol , not been to lancaster for years , i bet it's changed quite abit .

    4. Haha, you sounded like ‘Venom’ in the opening title. The sky is weird is more likely to be cloud seeding… our illustrious boffins at the Met Office think it’s wise to drop Aluminum Oxide ‘dust’ into the earths atmosphere to refract the suns radiation back into space. They believe that this will ‘cool the earth down’, it’s nuts and not a conspiracy theory as I’m sure I will no doubt be told I’m a crack pot… Will, growing up, we were fortunate enough to have lived, ‘the good time’s’ the world we are in outside the boating community, is unrecognisable now. Towns and cities, forget it!

    5. So stunningly green that Lancaster💚its all the rain we've had! Just wish they'd let us have a bit more sun 🌞we need the old vitamin D! Glad shui enjoyed the Lancaster😍👍👍

    6. If you can you should go check out heysham beach and the tiny little village streets around it 👌🏻 There is an old church just up from the beach with the best view point too 😉👌🏻It’s just before you get to Morecambe 🤗Shui is so lovely it’s great to see her even if it was just a short visit 🤗

    7. Hi Will!
      Thanks for the wild garlic tip.
      I was out in the Stockholm archipelago the other week.
      Sailing.
      Found a small field covered with it.
      Picked a lot and made a sallad.
      Exellent!
      It is called ”ramslök”in swedish.
      Then I googled it.
      It’s a percieved spicis.
      Not to be picked…….!
      Well……
      It was a nice sallad……..
      😀👍

    8. Afternoon Will. Another very enjoyable vlog with extra humour added. You are doing quite an in-depth coverage of the Lancaster. It deserves it. Lots of "chunky" construction wirh big stonework. I have noticed that the "Pope" on the tiller has been quiet. Is he away on a religious retreat perhaps? 😂 Regards. Paul.
