So much to comment on - brilliant start to the video... loved the visuals like the swirling capes, the columns and the cat- stunning. Then your singing - Fly me to The Moon - more of that please - it was fabulous. Where was Mark's piece? Stunning architecture - loved the little white van spinning along the roads of Greece. Loving it

You had me at “sacred prostitution”…….enjoying very much the adventures of Helen and the Marconauts. I’ve been keeping a spreadsheet of things I’ve learned about from your videos Helen, and can now add stuff to the Column column.

Obviously Marc has done his homework, or he has worked out how to research on his smartphone 😂. He is doing alright, running up that amphitheatre. 😮. Well I don't drink alcohol, so no cocktails 😂.
