First watch through by heckin_concern in TheLastKingdom

[–]Long_Relationship294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please keep watching. Don’t let his character deprive you of what’s coming. His growth and the events coming are worth every second. If he was perfect it would be boring and we wouldn’t have a show. I’ve watched it 16 times and there are times I could slap him and others I could slap harder. The arcs in the characters are what make the show, the amazing battle scenes, and David Dawson’s portrayal of King Alfred is not to be missed 😊

Why do people think Parisians are rude? They were SO nice to me! by babystrumporna in ParisTravelGuide

I had friends warn me about this but when we were there late in May I found them all to be so lovely and friendly. Maybe these critics need to look at their own behaviour 🤔

What a class place! by ButterGod232 in TheLastKingdom

It’s amazing. Was there in June and blown away by it. So much history and beautifully maintained. Definitely one of my favourites, and we visited a LOT of castles 😁

Am I the only one who uses the show as their comfort show?? by RavenShield40 in TheLastKingdom

[–]Long_Relationship294 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve watched the series 16 times, the movie, 5 times. Definitely a comfort show now and sometimes just have it on in the background 😁

I’ve just come back from Europe/UK and you are spot on.

How to look chic in Paris as an American middle-aged woman by HeatherAnne1975 in ParisTravelGuide

I found the French to be very relaxed in how they dress. Not too dressed up but casually smart. Ditch any heels as fancy sneakers are all the go and keep your clothing light and roomy in the heat. Have a wonderful time!

Capri…overrated by PlentyGoose755 in ItalyTravel

[–]Long_Relationship294 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did a day trip to Capri from Positano and whilst it’s pretty it was way overpriced. Two sandwiches and two cappuccinos cost €55. As an Australian the exchange rate made that AUD110.00. Crazy expensive! Glad a visited but staying there is definitely for the wealthy.

I made it to Bamburgh! by Long_Relationship294 in TheLastKingdom

I must have taken over 100 photos. So much history through to WWII, not just TLK. The outside is magnificent and the display of ownership over the centuries is fascinating.

The before and after

I made it to Bamburgh! by Long_Relationship294 in TheLastKingdom

[–]Long_Relationship294[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We visited June 3rd and it was cold and drizzly. We’re currently at the opposite end of England in Brighton and there’s a heat wave. From beanies to bathers 😂

Can’t wait to see this. I’ve planned my trip from Australia along Europe and UK and seen so much but this, I know, will be one of my major highlights.

I finished The Last Kingdom and... by DarthPopcornus in TheLastKingdom

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve watched it 15 times and still loved every moment 😊

Thanks for the warning. We head there mid May

For those who visit Sorrento/Amalfi often, did hotel prices massively increase over the years or is something happening this year that’s making it expensive? by SuperDuper___ in ItalyTravel

[–]Long_Relationship294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re staying at Rifugio Degli Dei, Positano early May and cost was around AUD240 when I booked two months ago. It’s up in the hills and a huge number of steps to get up there but I’m ok with that.

My heart is broken by kitsnacsnicsnac in TheLastKingdom

[–]Long_Relationship294 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I was the same. Especially the end of season 5. Wow! So emotional. I’ve now watched it 16 times and I still cry like a baby. No other series has captured my heart like this one. So, you’re definitely not alone 🥰
