Hear the great stories that go hand in hand with the sights: stories about Robin Hood, the Black Dog, the Lord Protector, the Great Fire of London, Hadrian's Wall, and the Cerne Giant. And meet writers like Thomas Hardy, Robbie Burns and the legendary Lawrence of Arabia. As you might expect from a film by wandering minstrels, there will be great British folk music at pubs in Somerset, and a Country and Western festival in Wales. Your trip to Britain will be guided by Monty, (a genuine great Brit), who will introduce you to His Family and Other Animals all over England and bits of Scotland and Wales and in case you have trouble with the language, Marsha will be on hand to translate. Testimonial from “Deryck,” of Coventry England, who purchased several copies of “It’s Great! Britain” on the internet. September, ‘07. Dear Monty Just to let you know that the parcel arrived this morning - with a comfortable week to spare ahead of our departure. And to say also that we are very pleased with the contents of your film. The DVDs are intended as gifts for close members of my family who, like you it seems, have their origins here but have lived most of their lives in the US. The idea is simply to awaken memories, or to forge new links. In making your film you could only make an impossibly small selection of places to visit, but as it happens your choice well met the bill. We all know London, our son was married in an area of Suffolk that you display, my wife and I have visited Lindisfarne, and spent a recent holiday walking the length of Hadrians Wall; as children I and my sisters had seaside holidays at Presytatyn, we took my Mother on a tour of Exmoor on her very last return trip to England before she died (she was utterly delighted by it), and we've done some splendid walking in Hardy country. So you see - spot on! You must return some day and do another, perhaps this time visiting the Highlands of Scotland, doing a bit more of Wales (the wonderful Snowdon Mountain range and the glorious Pembrokeshire coast), and of course our beloved Lake District. But again many thanks. |
