In this episode:


Target achieved - thank you!
Now to continue and improve
Some stats from the last 365 days:

71,106 views (up 30%)
4,839 watch hours (up 33%)
391 new subscribers (up 54%)

Top 5 full videos:

LA to San Francisco - 10,460
Croydon Airport - 7,938
Croydon How It Is 2023 - November - 2,254*
Kenley Aerodrome - 2,227
Warlingham Then & Now Part 1 - 1,712



*Pleasing as it has only been live since November 18th

The secret is to find what works and keep doing it, but what works best?
I have more planned for Croydon area
I want to find stories that can link local history to significant stories from wider history 
The art is in the telling and this is a developing process
Weather is a factor this time of year, have thought about VoiceOver videos but keep deciding against them - any thoughts?
Some WW2 related stories in the pipeline
I will continue with one country-related walk per month
The research is enjoyable but can grow arms & legs
A guest presenter will join me in 2024 for a Biggin Hill follow-up




Six face-to-face or public talks in 2023, four already planned for 2024
Occasional client work comes in, that is always top priority
