  2. Another stunner, Evelyn! I really enjoy your story telling… some people make history feel so removed and distant but you bring so much life to every little point you speak to!
    The beautiful footage of around the castle and by drone that you interweave between your dialogue gives one an opportunity to digest each little tidbit before moving on to the next course 😊.
    Really well done! 😊

  7. I've been following you for a while now on the gram. It is really cool to see this channel come to fruition. Can't wait for more videos.

  8. Love, love love this Evelyn…….Oh how wonderful it would have been to see it back in its heyday ❣️ Amazing history

  9. that was some history you dove into right there. and the stories you spoke about were so interesting. looking forward to more such videos.

  10. Love it!! You've done it again, just brought history to life in such a fun and vibrant way! I love your storytelling and love the incredible photography!

  11. I'd like to see more details about the castle. Perhaps rendering of it with the destroyed bits filled in.

  12. Cool I love this well done great fun, have you been to Castle on the Hill in Ed Sheeran Country? I live just up the road in Felixstowe and I highly recommend Suffolk as a place to see old castles. Felixstowe has a lot of history people do not know about from people to forts, to doomsday and an ancient Roman fort that can only be seen at low tide.

  13. Very interesting history there! I always look forward to what new tidbits of information you will disclose, it always feels like a secret 😉 The music this time……I kinda expected an appearance from the Pied Piper 🤔😂😂😂 Loved every minute!

  14. As a massive fan of the Hobbit… I LOVE the 'Going on an adventure' line. 🙂
