At last I've finished the second half of our day out drive in September 2018. Try it in full screen for best effect (even though I had to reduce the quality to get Youtube to accept it).
Actually, I've just been looking at it in fullscreen and it's awful, not enough pixels to do the scenery justice, so I suggest you just stretch the window bigger instead.

I did wonder as you practically stopped at the gate before your speed picked up again. If you do the drive again and want to call in for a drink, there is a short track just at the side of the house before and next to Elizabeth's that takes you to the back of the studios where you can park off road. It belongs to the family so you would be welcome to park.
What I really enjoyed of your drive was the fact that driving slowly you could take in the scenery. In so many of these videos places are just whizzing past, blink and they are gone.

We drove up that track the first time we visited Elizabeth a couple of years (or more) ago.
And how dare you comment on my driving? If you watch the video again I’m 100% certain the speed showing bottom centre reaches 19mph at least once!😁

LOL, I did wonder about your driving abilities as a white van man as you did not seem to top 10mph for a long time but I have to say that at one point you did hit 25mph! However, no criticism intended, on the contrary your 'careful' driving allowed the viewer the opportunity to 'see' the countryside and the buildings instead of green and white blurs you normally see when viewing the 'drives' in Skiathos. Anyway, that is enough stroking of your ego, suffice to say I did enjoy the drive and I am sure that others will too.

One huge regret is the video quality. YouTube forced me to reduce it from 1020p to 480p and whilst that just about suffices for the YouTube window, the original running full screen on my 27” Mac is so good it’s as if you’re in the driving seat again, makes my heart ache with the joy of it.
