Video releases from Ordinary Bloke

Alba Ben View, Fort William

In September 2019, we had a week in a little cottage near Fort William with views of Ben Nevis. I was so impressed by it that I produced a little video:

I have been asked why I have a Google account as well as my Hotmail one, surely they ask, there is no need for both. In this short video, I have tried to lay out some of the advantages for having a Google account. Admittedly, some reasons are purely advantageous if you have an Android phone. Suzanne and I both have Android phones and both are logged onto the same Google account so that we can share contacts and calendars. It makes our lives much simpler. It's not all about Android however, and there are distinct advantages for Apple users too. For everyone, there is the possibility of subscribing to my YouTube channels - which you REALLY should do! Other channels are available.

Nidd Hall, Warner Hotel

9:55 am

We have visited a number of Warner Hotels over the years and each has its own character. Nidd Hall is on the same lines as Thoresby but smaller. That can be seen as either an advantage or a disadvantage. The location is great, just over 4 miles to Knaresborough and just under 5 to Harrogate. Also, you're less than 20 miles from upper Nidderdale in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

Platja D'Or Hotel, Alcúdia

4:23 pm

This is a great 3 star adults only all-inclusive hotel which is situated about 2 miles south of Port d'Alcúdia 200 yards from the beach. In my video guide, I show you the hotel and the grand lake nearby plus a few shots from the old town of Alcúdia.

Magic Videos

4:20 pm

I've been fascinated by magic since I was a small boy, but it has only been in the last 3 years that I have begun to study and practise the art myself. It helps to video my attempts so that I can look at them critically from an observer's perspective. It's also great to be able to show the videos to fellow magicians to get gratefully received constructive criticism. I began to increase the number that I have recorded, so it seemed better that I should put them into their own separate channel - Ordinary Bloke Magic. Here are the ones currently available: 51 Fat Chances Spin Doctor Power of Poker Coin Matrix 8 Card Brainwave Super Closer Deja Vu Vu Find the Other Half Petal to the Metal Smack in the face One Card One Box

Oxford

3:48 pm

Oxford is a unique city, a mixture of the ancient university and the modern. On our visit there in 2018, we snapped a few of the usual iconic buildings and also some off the beaten track. The city is well worth a visit, but expect: Lots of tourists everywhere you go. Entry fees for just about every building, college, museum etc.

Remembering Summer

10:57 am

I love flowers, they make me feel good inside. As spring seemed to be taking forever to arrive, I thought I'd trawl through my photographs of flowers over the last decade and put together a little video. Here it is:

Dominican Republic

4:06 pm

It's a few years ago that I went to the Dominican Republic and stayed at the Gran Ventana complex in the northern resort of Playa Dorada. I did a quick tour with my flip camera and posted this video on my other site. For consistency's sake (and because the video is still being viewed regularly), I decided to bring it under the 'Ordinary Bloke' umbrella. So here it is...

Aquis Sandy Beach Corfu

2:15 pm

Some years ago now, I decided to create a video about the resort we were staying in Corfu. So, one morning, I got up early and took my flip camera for a walk, trying to capture the essence of the hotel. When I got back home, I put the clips together and added a few captions and a bit of music. It's not the best video I've ever made, but it hit 43,000 views a short while ago. However, because it's more appropriately positioned in my Ordinary Bloke channel rather than my original channel, I have now published it there. Got to start from 0 views though. Ah well!
