Where in England is Mr Duncan? The English addict is on the road!

hi everybody this is Mr Duncan in England how  are you today are you okay I hope so are you  

happy I hope you are feeling happy today this  is just a short video to say hi and I hope you  

are doing well yes I am on my travels again I am  roaming around the UK some people say Mr Duncan  

we never know where you are going to pop up next  well guess what here I am popping up right now it  

is a beautiful sunny day we are having the most  amazing weather at the moment first of all can  

I say it is a beautiful day nearly not quite  almost 10 Celsius today the place I am in is  

harrogate some people pronounce it harrogate or  harrogate it is a place in the north of England  

if you know the city of York then harrogate is  just to the north of the city of York York of  

course itself is a very famous medieval city  lots of beautiful buildings are situated there  

there but I know what you're thinking Mr Duncan  you are not in York you are in harrogate so what  

is actually there well first of all harrogate  is well known for its beautiful flowers its  

beautiful floral displays every summer millions of  people come to harrogate to have a look at all the  

beautiful flowers and fortunately this time of  year of course it is still Springtime so there  

are not many flowers around sadly so I can't show  you any beautiful flowers if I was to come back  

in about six or seven weeks then I would imagine  there would be lots of flowers around me so the  

only thing we have here at the moment In Bloom  are some of the spring flowers such as daffodil  

and maybe one or two crocuses I love crocuses  crocus is a lovely plant have you ever seen  

one they are sometimes white they are sometimes  purple and I think you can get yellow crocuses  

as well they are all beautiful types of flower  another thing that harrogate is well known for  

believe it or not is it's water there are many  different different types of water that come up  

through the ground many many years ago we are  going back a very very long time harrogate was  

famous for it for its medicinal water I'm now  being distracted because there's somebody right  

next to me making a lot of noise in fact there  are some people at the moment can you believe  

it I don't know how I do it but I've decided to  set my camera up in a place where some Road works  

are just about to start I don't know how I do it  but I do it very well so the famous water many  

different types of minerals are hidden beneath  the ground and because of that the water has some  

special medicinal uses many people used to come to  harrogate to bathe in the water in fact there is  

a very famous Royal baths here and lots and lots  of people used to come and they used to recuperate  

in Harrogate by bathing in the sulfur water some  of the water has sulphur some of it has iron and  

various different minerals all contained in the  water I believe there are around 80 different  

varieties of water here in harrogate so that  is another reason why many people come here  

one of the things I have noticed is most of  the tourists here are how can I put this in a  

friendly way many of them are elderly now please  don't take that the wrong way I don't mean that  

in a rude way but I it's just an observation  many of the tourists do seem to be of a certain  

age oh by the way something I should show you  if you ever come to harrogate you must check

out Betty's tea room Betty's tea room is  a famous place during the afternoon here  

in harrogate5 there are people queuing up outside  that particular tea room because it's very famous  

in fact another thing that harrogate is famous for  is it's tea there is a famous brand of tea called  

Yorkshire Tea made by a company called taylors  of harrogate and that is where it comes from  

it actually comes from this place I have to say  and this is not advertising so please don't get  

the wrong idea but but I do love a cup of York  tea from time to time so maybe later on today  

I might go along to this place I might have to  queue outside for about 1 hour but I'm sure once  

I go in there I would imagine the tea will be  exceptional so that is a strange situation if  

there's one thing the British love doing we love  queuing for things we love waiting in a long line  

so this is something that we might I might be able  to show you in fact I might be able to edit the  

queue outside Betty's Tea Room a little bit later  on if I have the chance of course I am away at  

the moment we are going to another place as well  for those wondering where Mr Steve is he's busy  

at the moment unfortunately but after today we  are going to a beautiful Yorkshire town called  

Skipton a beautiful Scenic Place and I suppose I  should mention I am at the moment in the county  

of Yorkshire one of the most beautiful parts of  England if you ever get the chance to come to  

Yorkshire all I can say is you will be blown away  by it some beautiful places small villages green  

Rolling Hills that is what Yorkshire is famous for  well I suppose I should let you get on with your  

day I am going to join the queue outside Betty's  tea room and hopefully I can get myself a lovely  

refreshing cup of yorkshire that is all for now  in fact I have timed the end of this video very  

well because the road works are just about  to start up very good timing Mr duncan thank  

you for watching this I will see you soon don't  forget to catch me live on Sunday I will be with  

you on Sunday as usual from 2 pm UK time is when  I'm here with you don't forget to catch me then  

and of course until the next time we  meet you know what's coming I know  

what's coming I would imagine everyone here  knows what's coming take care of yourselves
