Weekly update — 7 October

Another full week on the site. Seven fresh travel blogs went live, one a day, each built around films from the channel:

• The Destruction of Paris: Four Films, One City, and Why It Must Be Saved
  https://www.thewonderingenglishman.com/post/paris-decline-heritage

• Oasis at Wembley 2025: Fans’ First Memories of the Band That Soundtracked Our Youth
  https://www.thewonderingenglishman.com/post/oasis-wembley-2025-reunion

• Metal Detecting in Heydon: Searching Cambridgeshire’s Border Fields for Britain’s Past
  https://www.thewonderingenglishman.com/post/metal-detecting-heydon-cambridgeshire

• Warsaw Old Town Walk: History, Hidden Gems, and Local Flavours

• Montmartre Walk: Sacré-Cœur Steps, Basilica Views, and the Moulin Rouge
  https://www.thewonderingenglishman.com/post/montmartre-sacre-coeur-moulin-rouge

• Paris Château Rouge: The Neighbourhood That Feels Like Another World
  https://www.thewonderingenglishman.com/post/paris-chateau-rouge-neighbourhood

• London Currency Exchange Theft: How Tourists Lose Cash on The Strand
  https://www.thewonderingenglishman.com/post/london-currency-exchange-theft-strand

No new uploads on YouTube this week; I’ve been busy turning the back catalogue into proper written guides, so older films are getting a second life on the site.

Month to date: all seven posts above are October so far, from The Strand on the 1st to the big Paris piece today. Canterbury, Edinburgh Airport and a run of Malta posts are lined up next.

If you’d like to help keep the walks filmed and written up, the membership tiers are here: https://www.subscribestar.com/the-wondering-englishman/tiers — from $7/mo, a postcard tier, and video shout-outs. No hard sell; just grateful if you chip in when you can.

Thanks for being along for the ride.

Safe travels,

Alex
