When my daughter was little we spent most Saturday afternoons in the summer in that park you can hire motor boats and also a little train to ride on. I was told by an old chap I worked with in the floods in the 60s people had to vacate one of our buses via the skylight at crown square!
Ah I can imagine that was so lovely with your daughter! The floods must have been scary! I remember the Sheffield ones not long back and being terrified! X
Hi Becks, loved the video of my home town, and hearing your lovely Sheffield accent. I have family from Sheff so apologies if I'm wrong. Anyway, great video, look forward to seeing more of the same.
You have a beautiful home town. Glad you enjoyed it, yes you're right a Sheffield accent which is good some people say i sound like I'm from Bolton 🤷🏼♀️ x
@BeckandBeyond Not to me , my sister in law and family are all from Sheff now in the airline business ( my brother like you a pilot). Spent all my teens in Baslow and Sheffield, and loved Fanies night club.
Its a place that coach tours go to,so fish and chips,tearooms,and amusements ideal.Quieter this time of year but interesting and it got you out and about.2025 new places,new recipes and more.Happy New Year 😊
Hi Becky, what a refreshing video, I do love your style of a travelog. Its purely by chance I came across your vlog. The Tille MATLOCK - A beautiful town. Caught my eye. This is my first time I have seen your vlog. Your honest, non-scripted narration is brilliant; at the end of the video, I want to visit Matlock. There are very few TH-camrs who have your gift to make viewers feel like they're right there with you, sharing every moment. Your ability to connect so authentically and genuinely makes your content truly captivating. Keep it up and keep creating. I must watch your back videos. Your views will be in the thousands very soon
Very oldie worldie and beautiful little place 😊 I agree……very strange shop 😂😂😂😂 I hope you had a great Xmas Beck and Happy New Year 🎊🎆 🎈 to you all ❤❤ My resolution is to make it to 2026 🎉🎉🎉
Ian is the Scottish version of John, so he was probably called after his ancestor. My brothers name was Ian and he was the best, he passed away at the age of 14, so I am passionate about his name. Not been to Matlock for years. Such a pretty place.
That is so interesting I had no idea it was the Scottish version of John and probably why they picked it. I can understand why you are passionate about it 😘 x
I don’t believe it what a coincidence my husband’s name is John, and every year we buy jumpers for him from John Smedley, absolutely top quality merino wool. If you buy a jumper from them and then decide a year later you want a cardigan to match they still sell the same colour, I ordered my husband a cardigan while we were on holiday in Palma and it arrived the day after we got back. Sorry to waffle on. Happy New Year and thanks Rebecca.
What a lovely compliment to your mum that you bought another two of a similar nature for the hubster… at least she will see it’s truly appreciated. Matlock looks a lovely place but yeah it was a pity the little fella or your mum weren’t there to enjoy it with you. Happy New Year 🥳 thankyou for keeping me entertained 🙌
Yes I'm so glad Christmas has buggered off 😅 now I want new year eve to bugger off too 😅 . Nice video Becks nice and normal ISH again happy days . Hope you have and family Will have a lovely 2025 . My resolution is get my health better and being a better person
@KathySiddle it's a mad mad world . I use to work for cash N carry and we had Easter eggs on shelf end of November beginning of December . Nothing goes in season anymore including the weather
26.45 - SPECTACULR ... spit it out lass, you got there in the end 😂. Masson Mills just thought Matlock Bath is another former cotton works now shopping centre, the clothes are not to my style though but it's interesting to see the historical old cotton works side of things, it must have been awful to work the very long hours in those very unhealthy working conditions. The Derbyshire Peak District is a great place to visit although it can get very busy now on any given day of the week. I could ramble on for ages about the great walking expeditions that I've had in the Derbyshire Peaks, but won't bore you to tears telling of my days walking out there lol. Happy New Year - 2025 .
Love seeing matlock again,its been a lonng time since ive visited..&saw all the bikers..love buxton aswell,they just seem magical places in time.🫶 P.s... it would be lovely to see you&Edward on the cable car 🚡 ❤
Hi Rebecca, I’m pleased to see that you have managed to fit a vlog in. I’m very interested to learn of your appreciation for vinyl records, how much was the LP you bought? The originals like this one are the best. I own one the finest players the Linn LP12 ( look it up!) been into vinyl since 1970. Your Mojo is still there Rebecca and it always will be!! Love, J&M XX🥰
Thankyou, guys I suppose the mojo was just hiding a little 😆 I will check out your vinyl recommendation to be fair it's more Mark than myself I'm still a CD girl haha x
I'd love you to do a vlog about the history of the NGH and vickers corridor. I'm a reg general nurse and also did my sick children's nursing degree at Sheffield Children's hospital. I never worked at the NGH Recently a family member has been an in patient on Chesterman suite. Old photographs of the hospital and hung in the corridors I'd love you to give us the history behind the vickers corridor
Great vlog Bec 👍 we are in Belper a few miles from there ! love my vinyl too with Bowie my hero so loved your portrait of him on an earlier vlog 👍 Happy New Year to you and the family and keep up the good work 👍👍
Always liked Matlock and Matlock bath. Walk up to the heights of abraham for a really steep walk. Would like to go on the cable cars but nobody else Ive been with wants to. Is the kids place still there Gulliver's kingdom?
Hello,I’ve just subscribed to your channel as your visit to Matlock came up on my home section on TH-cam. At first I thought you lived near Matlock. I’ve also watched your local visit to Loxley. Did you know that the area is associated with Robin Hood as he was apparently Lord Loxley.
I live in Matlock and love it 😊 Does get a bit manic in summer though. In addition to the Hydro, Smedley also built Riber castle for his residence which looms over the town. It’s been converted into luxury apartments if you’ve got the best part of £1m to play with 😂
I meant to look into the Riber castle a little more but forgot 🙄 you do live in a lovely place i suppose you have to share it with the tourists too as annoying as that can be sometimes!! X
I always make mistakes like that when vlogging because I look through my camera lenses and never 'look' or read things properly 🙈 I'm clearly not a good multitasker 🤣 x
The most relaxed vlog you done Im thinking. Loved the comment re the reindeer skins. Not been to Matlock in 40 years. Your vlog has made me want to get back in 2025.
Thanks a lot Becks! It looks like a lot of people have forgotten what Christmas represents - a love for other people and the planet and a catering God in their lives! Although these days it feels like we only have more stress? Matlock - loved it! Happy NY to you and the family and tell James and Helen to cut down on the ale and the fish ‘n’ chips for next year - for figures sake! ❤ Xx
I’ve had a really quiet xmas( by choice) but it’s been great. I’m also glad it’s over though. My uncle lived in Matlock. He died of colon cancer aged 52 in 1970. I’ve never visited though as was only about 15/16 at the time. Will go one day xx
I am a subsciber of your and your brothers channel and do like your vlogs i also watch your brothers channel and remember that surprise trip he took you on to Benidorm .You kindly said you enjoyed it which i am sure you did but i cant see you as a regular on the strip. Send him up on a hot air balloon or a glider or something more terrifying should do the trick he's got away with it far to long now.
He would probably love a hot air balloon ride 🤣🤣 i do need to get revenge think about it regularly! I really liked the old town but your right the strip is not really my bag 😂 x
I don't think you're much of a gothic fantasy art or rock music fan, Becky! That shop caters to all the biker rockers. Although not John Smedley, I think you'd look lovely in a wolf fleece 😂I worked the Matlock Illuminations a few years ago and it really is beautiful especially the illuminated boats which people put so much effort into. It runs from the end of September into October normally but you have to pre book your tickets it gets so busy👍
I think you're right fantasy art not my thing, it was just a very odd shop which had a very odd mix of thing so for sale 😁 but hey something for everyone good luck to them (I will not be buying a wolf fleece 🤣) I'd never heard of the illuminated boats it really sounds fab I'm going to try and go next year xx
It's nice you featured Matlock and Matlock Bath. I had a giggle when you entered that horrible shop. It's the worst shop I've entered and, yes, too many chippies. You should see the number of motorbikes on nice days! I've moved this year from London to Matlock and love the beautiful nature in the local area.
I don't like Christmas, most shops have spoilt it by opening boxing day so christmas to me is one day, roll on Summer get in the garden and holiday time ,thanks for the lovely quite walk around . All the very best for 2025 fingers crossed it's a better year 🥂
Hi Becky . Lovely video and Matlock is certainly worth a visit . I think you should revive your Modelling days and Rock a John Smedley Jumper or two for their Marketing Dept .
Hi Becky, another place I've never been to, it's lovely, thanks for showing us round a little bit and yes you are a naughty girl, I was feeling a bit unsure about you going up that path but yes the view was fab. I would have thought you would be sick of turkey by now but I do love turkey myself so I can understand really..lol .. Want to wish you and your family a happy new year for Wednesday. Looking forward to where you will take us next. Debbie brid
@@BeckandBeyond Hi Becky, I go to Boyes most days but I always manage to miss you and James...lol..love to you all .. one day we will be there the same day you never know . Debbie brid
Ha ha .. I'm one of your subscribers who can't stand Xmas ! .. I didn't post anything negative though, just ignored all the shopping, food prepping and wreath making vlogs this month ! ;-) But I do LOVE Matlock, I've always said it's my favourite place in the world and I've visited countless times since discovering it in the late 80s. I even support the football club now (from afar!) situated across the road from the Cafe In The Park outside which you were filming at one point, I try and get to at least one game a season,usually in Autumn when the town is most beautiful but haven't been there yet. I actually went to John Smedley on my last trip in September 2023 when I did the walk along the canal from Cromford Mill (the world's first water-powered cotton mill) to Lea Bridge where Smedley's are still the world's longest running factory manufacturer ... I think you were attempting to do one of my most ambitious pre-match walks up to the top of High Tor ! It starts across the track behind the Cable Car office at Matlock Bath and eventually takes you up to a clear grassy area where you have the iron fence where you can look down on Dale Road below and across towards Matlock town. If you follow it all the way you come out in Hall Leys Park ! ... I've strolled along the Derwent from Matlock to Matlock Bath dozens of times, but other good local walks are at Black Rocks just up from Cromford village, and the Lumsdale Falls one the other side of town which as well as taking in some small waterfalls, takes you past some old ruins of early mills and the Bentley Brook Brewing Co & Tap Room !! (I told James & Helen about that !) ... The Cable Car is a must, even if it's a bit rainy, fantastic views, and although it is a bit pricey, the ticket does include entry to the two impressive caves at the other end and for the ultimate view you can go up the Victoria Prospect Tower and look down on the cable cars ! ... I'd love to return soon but at present my finances have taken a bit of a knock (that polo top you bought cost £15 more than my current weekly food budget!!) It's great though that I can see so many much loved previously visited places up north, plus new ideas to add to my list for the future, through the videos made by you and James, keeps me going while stuck in flat boring Essex. Go back to the town on a clear day and see what else you can discover ... I am just a bit jealous !
Wow you do know the area well, I will definitely be going back on a clear day with Edward to do the cable cars and the walk sounds fab we just bought him some hiking gear in the sales so we could try them out on High Tor. I meant to go over to the football ground to film it but got distracted and forgot 🙄 I'm sure Essexs has lots of fab places to visit I need to venture out there! Happy New Year x
@@BeckandBeyond - No ! Essex is very flat & dull compared to the wonderful North of the country (and the South & West too !) but it has one or two litle areas of interest, so if you ever do find yourself coming here, get in touch and I will point you towards them. Happy hiking & vlogging in 2025 ! x
Thankyou for this Beck..this video has had me very emotional. My dad worked for Smedleys for 47 years. He worked in the old spinning mill where u put the camera through the window and it's now derelict. He took his own life in 1997 after he lost his flat, partner and then Smedleys sacked him because he couldn't cope. He stayed with me and I found him dead in my living room after he took his own life..Smedleys (disgustingly,) only gave the family 40 grand after all the years he gave to them. I've never forgiven them for what they did. The rest of my family live in Matlock. I'm glad you went there and visited it.
Oh gosh your poor dad I'm so sorry for your loss, that must have been such a devastating time for you and your family. For him to have given all those years of his life to a company to be repaid with so little 😢 😘
@BeckandBeyond Thanks Beck. All this time gone by and I'm.still angry at them. Next time your in Matlock and your looking for Giddy Edge. Go to where the cable cars are, there is a path there..if you follow it it takes u upto a road, cross the road and go through a gate and it will bring u up on the cliff top..there's a fork on the path your following, take the right path and that takes u along Giddy Edge...but be very careful up there..don't go up on a windy day.
Interesting vlog again Becky. As a bloke I am embarassed & anguished a lady feels uncomfortable entering a pub on her own. On to good news, the C time is over! Yeah! 1 more hurdle & we can get back to normal, signed; The Grinch. LOL!
Haha I'm not a fan of NY so will be happy to see that pass us by! It's just my insecurities I don't like sitting in a bar by myself no other reason really x
fascinating the history its so sad to see derelict mills, Matlock looks a beautiful place you need to vlog with a DJI handheld Becky. happy new year to you and your family
Went in march and had a picture taken in front of the bar called bod, my name is bridie o donoghue b4 marriage so a lot called me bod, remember the tv programme 😂 happy new year ❤
You probably already know, but you went the wrong way to lovers walk... If you'd turned right, after the bridge, there's a kiddy park and the walk follows the river, up to a bridge and to where you parked your car. Try that way next time 👍 Happy New Year (for tomorrow night).
I don't think Becky is much of a gothic fantasy art or rock music fan. Obviously caters to all the biker rockers. Although I think she would have looked lovely in a wolf fleece😂
I was probably a bit harsh! It was just a bit of a random mix, fantasy art, country crafts, make up and not forgetting the tiger blanket, an eclectic mix I suppose ☺️ x
Becks you turned a drab day into a beautiful vlog,well done again lass
Thankyou so much xx
Another fantastic video Becky 👏👏
Thank you! 😃
I really enjoyed the look at Matlock Becks best.
Ps maybe i am related .
Great really interesting video Becky thank you Happy New Year x
Happy new year. Glad you enjoyed x

Happy New Year, Becky. Those tops were in beautiful colours.
Happy new year! They were fab colours weren't they! X
Its a place that coach tours go to,so fish and chips,tearooms,and amusements ideal.Quieter this time of year but interesting and it got you out and about.2025 new places,new recipes and more.Happy New Year 😊

Thankyou and you too, here's to a great year x
Ian is the Scottish version of John, so he was probably called after his ancestor. My brothers name was Ian and he was the best, he passed away at the age of 14, so I am passionate about his name. Not been to Matlock for years. Such a pretty place.
That is so interesting I had no idea it was the Scottish version of John and probably why they picked it. I can understand why you are passionate about it 😘 x
Enjoyed that 😊
Glad you enjoyed it, thankyou x
My second home, love Matlock Bath, i go down regular on my bike, just also subscribed 😎
Thanks for subscribing! I think I'll be going more regularly now maybe not on my bike though 😆😁
@@BeckandBeyond haha will watch out for you 😁 have a lovely New Year
I don’t believe it what a coincidence my husband’s name is John, and every year we buy jumpers for him from John Smedley, absolutely top quality merino wool. If you buy a jumper from them and then decide a year later you want a cardigan to match they still sell the same colour, I ordered my husband a cardigan while we were on holiday in Palma and it arrived the day after we got back. Sorry to waffle on. Happy New Year and thanks Rebecca.
They are fabulous quality aren't they!! I love you get a John Jumper for your John every year!
@ and they never go bobbley.
What a lovely compliment to your mum that you bought another two of a similar nature for the hubster… at least she will see it’s truly appreciated. Matlock looks a lovely place but yeah it was a pity the little fella or your mum weren’t there to enjoy it with you.
Happy New Year 🥳 thankyou for keeping me entertained 🙌
Thankyou so glad you enjoyed. My mum has very good taste 👌
Great video thanks I hope you have your Bear repellent Spray up in them Woods ❤😂

I'm a reg general nurse and also did my sick children's nursing degree at Sheffield Children's hospital.
I never worked at the NGH
Recently a family member has been an in patient on Chesterman suite.
Old photographs of the hospital and hung in the corridors
I'd love you to give us the history behind the vickers corridor
That's odd you said that I have been looking for ideas and Vickers Corridor popped up something I'm not really aware of but will look into it 👍🏻 xx
Another great video. ❤🇦🇺
Thankyou 🙏 x
All the best for 2025 Beck ….Smithy
And you Smithy x
Great vlog Bec 👍 we are in Belper a few miles from there ! love my vinyl too with Bowie my hero so loved your portrait of him on an earlier vlog 👍 Happy New Year to you and the family and keep up the good work 👍👍
Can't beat Bowie!! I have Belper on my list of places to visit. X
@ Cool will keep my eyes peeled then 👍 Nice to hear you like Bowie too 👍
Happy New Year from Abbeville, LA.
Happy New Year xxx
Always liked Matlock and Matlock bath. Walk up to the heights of abraham for a really steep walk. Would like to go on the cable cars but nobody else Ive been with wants to. Is the kids place still there Gulliver's kingdom?
Yes Gullivers is still there, I'm going to take my boy on the cable cars soon I've never done it! X

Hi thanks for subscribing 🙏 yes I would like to do more about the Robin Hood connection I just keep forgetting 🙈 i need to start a list!
I live in Matlock and love it 😊
Does get a bit manic in summer though.

Love Matlock how I wish I could win lottery and live there , oh well , back to the drawing board , Cheers Becks , yeah , get some new teeth 😂 🙌
It is beautiful!! Keep getting those lotto tickets you never know, im buying a house in Portugal when I win 😆😀 x
I always thought they were based in Lea near Cromford.
Yes it's Lea Bridge. X
This was a lovely trip out, Becky. We should treasure and enjoy these beautiful towns while we can.😊
We absolutely should x
Matlock is great ,I go often and it's always interesting and unique unlike most towns/Cities ,your videos are informative and entertaining x
It really is a unique place, and great to visit! X
Why should women have to think about walking on their own? It’s appalling……. Loving your vlogs Becky! ❤️
I don't think they do really it's more my personal confidence in this scenario (I'm a little odd) 🤣 glad you enjoy x
I think that photo was of king George the 6th, VI is 6
I always make mistakes like that when vlogging because I look through my camera lenses and never 'look' or read things properly 🙈 I'm clearly not a good multitasker 🤣 x
I have never been to Matlock, it looks a beautiful place. Happy New Year ❤
It really is worth a visit. Happy New Year x
The most relaxed vlog you done Im thinking. Loved the comment re the reindeer skins. Not been to Matlock in 40 years. Your vlog has made me want to get back in 2025.

It looks like a lot of people have forgotten what Christmas represents - a love for other people and the planet and a catering God in their lives! Although these days it feels like we only have more stress?
Matlock - loved it!
Happy NY to you and the family and tell James and Helen to cut down on the ale and the fish ‘n’ chips for next year - for figures sake! ❤ Xx
Life is very stressful these days we need to take a step back and appreciate the simpler things. HNY x
I’ve had a really quiet xmas( by choice) but it’s been great. I’m also glad it’s over though.
My uncle lived in Matlock. He died of colon cancer aged 52 in 1970.
I’ve never visited though as was only about 15/16 at the time. Will go one day xx
Sorry about your uncle! You should visit when you can imagine sure you won't be disappointed x
I am a subsciber of your and your brothers channel and do like your vlogs i also watch your brothers channel and remember that surprise trip he took you on to Benidorm .You kindly said you enjoyed it which i am sure you did but i cant see you as a regular on the strip.

It has become very commercial sadly! I too am a summer girl now! I can't wait to get in the garden x
Hi Becky . Lovely video and Matlock is certainly worth a visit . I think you should revive your Modelling days and Rock a John Smedley Jumper or two for their Marketing Dept .
Haha I'm not so sure they would want a geriatric model, but thankyou xx
@BeckandBeyond You are being too hard on yourself Becky , honestly, you rock those Jumpers .
Hi Becky, another place I've never been to, it's lovely, thanks for showing us round a little bit and yes you are a naughty girl, I was feeling a bit unsure about you going up that path but yes the view was fab.

🤣🤣
Ha ha .. I'm one of your subscribers who can't stand Xmas ! .. I didn't post anything negative though, just ignored all the shopping, food prepping and wreath making vlogs this month ! ;-) But I do LOVE Matlock, I've always said it's my favourite place in the world and I've visited countless times since discovering it in the late 80s. I even support the football club now (from afar!) situated across the road from the Cafe In The Park outside which you were filming at one point, I try and get to at least one game a season,usually in Autumn when the town is most beautiful but haven't been there yet. I actually went to John Smedley on my last trip in September 2023 when I did the walk along the canal from Cromford Mill (the world's first water-powered cotton mill) to Lea Bridge where Smedley's are still the world's longest running factory manufacturer ... I think you were attempting to do one of my most ambitious pre-match walks up to the top of High Tor ! It starts across the track behind the Cable Car office at Matlock Bath and eventually takes you up to a clear grassy area where you have the iron fence where you can look down on Dale Road below and across towards Matlock town. If you follow it all the way you come out in Hall Leys Park ! ... I've strolled along the Derwent from Matlock to Matlock Bath dozens of times, but other good local walks are at Black Rocks just up from Cromford village, and the Lumsdale Falls one the other side of town which as well as taking in some small waterfalls, takes you past some old ruins of early mills and the Bentley Brook Brewing Co & Tap Room !! (I told James & Helen about that !) ... The Cable Car is a must, even if it's a bit rainy, fantastic views, and although it is a bit pricey, the ticket does include entry to the two impressive caves at the other end and for the ultimate view you can go up the Victoria Prospect Tower and look down on the cable cars ! ... I'd love to return soon but at present my finances have taken a bit of a knock (that polo top you bought cost £15 more than my current weekly food budget!!) It's great though that I can see so many much loved previously visited places up north, plus new ideas to add to my list for the future, through the videos made by you and James, keeps me going while stuck in flat boring Essex. Go back to the town on a clear day and see what else you can discover ... I am just a bit jealous !
Wow you do know the area well, I will definitely be going back on a clear day with Edward to do the cable cars and the walk sounds fab we just bought him some hiking gear in the sales so we could try them out on High Tor. I meant to go over to the football ground to film it but got distracted and forgot 🙄 I'm sure Essexs has lots of fab places to visit I need to venture out there! Happy New Year x
@@BeckandBeyond - No ! Essex is very flat & dull compared to the wonderful North of the country (and the South & West too !) but it has one or two litle areas of interest, so if you ever do find yourself coming here, get in touch and I will point you towards them. Happy hiking & vlogging in 2025 ! x
Did you happen to go anywhere near "The Lost Cauldron"?
I drove past it and thought it looked interesting but then forgot to go and have a look. X
very much like Fred Perry then Becky
Absolutely 👍🏻
Thankyou for this Beck..this video has had me very emotional. My dad worked for Smedleys for 47 years. He worked in the old spinning mill where u put the camera through the window and it's now derelict. He took his own life in 1997 after he lost his flat, partner and then Smedleys sacked him because he couldn't cope. He stayed with me and I found him dead in my living room after he took his own life..Smedleys (disgustingly,) only gave the family 40 grand after all the years he gave to them. I've never forgiven them for what they did. The rest of my family live in Matlock. I'm glad you went there and visited it.
Oh gosh your poor dad I'm so sorry for your loss, that must have been such a devastating time for you and your family.
For him to have given all those years of his life to a company to be repaid with so little 😢 😘
@BeckandBeyond Thanks Beck. All this time gone by and I'm.still angry at them. Next time your in Matlock and your looking for Giddy Edge. Go to where the cable cars are, there is a path there..if you follow it it takes u upto a road, cross the road and go through a gate and it will bring u up on the cliff top..there's a fork on the path your following, take the right path and that takes u along Giddy Edge...but be very careful up there..don't go up on a windy day.
Interesting vlog again Becky. As a bloke I am embarassed & anguished a lady feels uncomfortable entering a pub on her own. On to good news, the C time is over! Yeah! 1 more hurdle & we can get back to normal, signed; The Grinch. LOL!
Haha I'm not a fan of NY so will be happy to see that pass us by! It's just my insecurities I don't like sitting in a bar by myself no other reason really x
Another great vlog much better than James 😂 HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🎉
Thankyou, I will show James your comment 😂😂 Happy New Year x
Cherry Wallace.
fascinating the history its so sad to see derelict mills, Matlock looks a beautiful place you need to vlog with a DJI handheld Becky. happy new year to you and your family
I'm thinking about saving up for the DJI I'm struggling to get on with the gopro now 🙄 x
Went in march and had a picture taken in front of the bar called bod, my name is bridie o donoghue b4 marriage so a lot called me bod, remember the tv programme 😂 happy new year ❤
Ah really that's great. It looked a lovely bar too. X
You probably already know, but you went the wrong way to lovers walk... If you'd turned right, after the bridge, there's a kiddy park and the walk follows the river, up to a bridge and to where you parked your car. Try that way next time 👍 Happy New Year (for tomorrow night).
Yes I eventually figured that out 🤦🏼♀️ I'm not very good at directions 😂 HNY x
45 quid for a t shirt!!?? 😲😲😲
A knitted t-shirt 😆
16:35 where did that creepy voice come from ?that were weird 😱
I didn't catch that!
Tut tut.. Asking for a refund off hubby. You mean sod. Stop fussing, the vids fine. 😁Happy new year Beck. 🥳
🤣🤣 he's had enough spent on him this Christmas 😆 Happy New Year x
I don't get what was so wierd about that shop. Can you tell me?
Was a bit random
We wondered that ? I have been in there a few times, all seems normal to me ?
I don't think Becky is much of a gothic fantasy art or rock music fan. Obviously caters to all the biker rockers. Although I think she would have looked lovely in a wolf fleece😂
@giorgipiorgi Not really. Obviously caters to a certain demographic that visit Matlock Bath on summer weekends - brrrm brrrm
I was probably a bit harsh! It was just a bit of a random mix, fantasy art, country crafts, make up and not forgetting the tiger blanket, an eclectic mix I suppose ☺️ x
tic tok
You should be a Jehovah's witness ha ha
Haha no quite sure I'm ready to give up Christmas just yet 😀
Not to watch shopping videos
