- CARDIFF VLOG - Having a look at Cardiff Bay Barrage. DAILY VLOGS UK
We're off to Cardiff today. Izzy has a class to get to, so after a near-catastrophic lunch, during the making of which, Imo sets off the smoke alarm, IB (Invisible boyfriend) and Imo drop Izzy at her class and head down to Penarth Head to look at Cardiff Bay Barrage.
This was the key stage 3 workbook I was looking at:

I'm Imo and she's Izzy. We're a UK mother and daughter vlogging combo that loves to get out and about and exploring South Wales and beyond.
We're a homeschooling/home-educating family of two based in the UK dealing with the daily challenges of managing Izzy's severe, chronic eczema and her education. Our resourcefulness is tested on a daily basis, but we'd love to share our little triumphs and discoveries with you as we go along.
Imo is a flautist/flutist (flute player), and these vlogs will often take you behind the scenes of the life of a professional folk musician. Stand by for bits and bobs of live folk music and dance as they pop up in our day-to-day lives.
These videos will not generally feature recorded background music, making them extra suitable for people who aren't keen on pop music!
Follow this channel for occasional tips on caring for eczema, content relating to the flute, travel (particularly to Lisbon, Portugal), homeschooling and homeschool mom stuff, folk musician lifestyle, and to see what life is like for this little family in our corner of South Wales in the UK.

Lazy sleep in mornings are wonderful... hubby and I do it quiet often . We're retired, and if there is nothing pressing to get done we'll stay in bed till 11 or so.
Oh my goodness.. I'm so glad I'm not in school anymore.. The difference between a phrase and a clause??? Sheesh.. I had to google it.. and after reading it a few times, upside down and around, it still doesn't make sense to me.. hahaha. Thankfully when I talk to someone, they're not commenting on my phrase or clause. The only clause I know of is Santa Claus... haha
I have never had a savoury pancake... I either have syrup or fruit and whipped topping.
The man made river is awesome. I can see my boy rafting on that and having a blast.
That is a beautiful waterfront.. I love the smell of the ocean. Looks like a lot of activity going on.. Neat ! We have some beautiful quays to walk along, that's the bonus of living close to the ocean. Lovely video... thanks. 💖
11am! Fab! That was me when I lived in Lisbon and worked as a musician late at night in bars. Well - who am I kidding - i rarely got up before noon, but I worked until 2am in those days. 😂 Lol! You're the second to say they Googled phrase and clause! Hopefully I'm over thinking that assessment. She still hasn't had it. Santa clause! 🎅😂
Your cooking may improve if you stop using the smoke alarm as a timer! 😊⏲ Cardiff was nice to see and your visit to the Barrage sent me to Wikipedia. Nice interesting vlog today, I enjoyed the Welsh language demos.
😂 I liked your smoke alarm/timer comment! I thought you might pay Wiki or Google a visit, David. That barrage is pretty interesting.
Very enjoyable film and my first visit to Cardiff Bay. When I lived in Hull I always enjoyed a walk round Hull marina, no white water there though! Well done with the editing, very smooth. Thanks for sharing. Xx
Aw, thank you, Steelcityman! There's something just so lovely about walking around marinas! Associative maybe?
I also love being near the marina & listening to the boats & seeing the lift bridge go up & down. Very nice outing with IB 🙂
Yeah, I can imagine it would suit you. I remember your ship spotting adventure!
Looks like a beautiful day! Great area too!
It's lovely down there, in that part of the world, especially when the sun's out.
Sneaking around not waking IB up. Lol
My sleeping prince! Any longer and there would have been vines all growing up the masonry outside.
Good news on the assessments coming up. Good luck Izzy.
Aw, thank you! x
I wish we had one of the river water parks here. So many people around here just go out rafting on the rivers without any practice. I'm loving your video of Cardiff. all that blue sky and warm weather.
Oh dear. Do they get into trouble? I hope you're keeping safe from all those fires I keep seeing on the news, btw!!
loved the bridge ... cheers
Quite interesting, I thought! :¬) Thanks Maurieo.
That less known Welsh word for roundabout sounds a bit like "whirligig". :)
Enjoyed your family outing to Cardiff! Again, thanks for sharing!
Oh that rafting place looks fun!!
I'd be too much of a scaredy cat to go on that!
Oh dear. Burnt lunch! I love some welsh words! Poppty ping. Cwtch and Pili Pala!!🤗
😁 Ah yes! Three of the classics!
Cwtch sounds like "kuscheln" which means "to cuddle" in German.
Looks like a nice day.
It was! What a treat.
The sound of the bridge lowering reminded me of an orchestra tuning up 🎻😁
Oh yes! That's it! I really loved that sound.
Great window herbs... Famous teenage trick with the wash basket happens at our house too.😄
It'll be interesting to see how many other parents of teens say the same thing!
@@PlanetImo they also say they have been in he basket ages😕
I always fancied living on a narrow boat. But after my friend did it I realised how faffy it was. Ohh running water when you need a wee 🤣🤣
Mmm. Yeah - same here.
The leggings will be a learning curve. I'm always saying that washing foesnt get done by itself or at the last minute 🤣
Mmm! I noticed today that more dirty black leggings were festering on her floor again. Lesson not learned!
@@PlanetImo 🤣🤦♀️
I wonder what you would sound like if you spoke in Welsh. Pretty awesome no doubt. Great vlog and you took me down memory lane to amid the humor. My dear twin brother Paul and I walked right around there one night and back into the city. Had a great time. And took a look into the swim pool to being swimmers and all. Sounds like you had fun there. Well, many thanks for that. All the best. Mark
Aw, thank you so much! I do speak Welsh to a very rudimentary level, but it really needs brushing up! Thanks so much for watching. Are you from Cardiff?
@@PlanetImo A pleasure. Hey that's cool about the language. A Welsh Vlogger - interesting! No, I'm from Hereford up the road. My brother Paul and I used to visit. He's no longer with us sadly. This is why I was excited by your vlog.
I have never seen a blender with a spout before that is cool... nice rafting course also, never seen one of those either...
That spout is good and bad because sometimes it clogs up with lumps! 😂
Love trip vlog, the bridge remind me Maremagnum in Barcelona. The walesh language is quite difficult but is interesting...Imo you've burning the dinner😆
I know! What am I like? I was doing fine until Izzy announced she had no clean clothes for her class that day or college!! 😂 All sorted now. I'd like to see that bridge in Barcelona.
@@PlanetImo I'm happy for you. When everything returns to normal, if you want, we can organize a trip so you can see the wonderful Barcelona.
Your Welsh was perfect 10/10
😊 Diolch yn fawr!
I see IB loves hats just like me! I can't blame him - hats are cool!
He has quite a collection but he only likes one - which is that cap I wore.
He's the same with sunglasses.
Hi Imo and Izzy.. and I.B. .. Hey.. When is I.B. going to be I.H. ? Nice video.. Be Happy..
Lovely date day guys 🤠
We were making the most of it - we have another local lockdown hanging over our heads!
Rafting is fun.
I'll have to take your word for that as I've never tried it.
Aww what a lovely day out with your man. So Bara must be bread then?... yes?
Yes, it is! :¬)
Ohhh kenzie just made me pancakes. With nutella!
THAT sounds good. I like that with butter as well. Mmm mmmm!
10/10 For welsh pronunciation
😊 Diolch, yn fawr, Rhys!
Son had that on a homework once. I was 'off to the Google' as I had no idea what the definition is. I can't remember learning anything about this in English classes. All these fancy words :)
Can't believe you were 5 minutes from me and didn't visit :p
I've done that, gone down that way and then you get blocked and have to go across and pop out by the restaurant
It's so nice cycling to work when it's really early, the sun is coming up. Very very peaceful.
Yeah, that structure is called the 'Sails' or 'Three Sails'
Ah! You're a Penarthian! I bet that is a really beautiful cycling route, especially when it's quite.
@@PlanetImo it really is. Don't have much time to do it these days. Might take the kids there at some point.
I’d love to kayak that’s whitewater course.
I bet you would!! Hey Lincoln - I was wondering if you were a daily vlogger at heart, being niche currently because it makes more sense on TH-cam? I'm finding if you do it for long enough (vlog about your own life) you do start to get a bit of exponential growth eventually. You'd be better at it than me with your great on-camera persona.
I've walked in on people sitting in the can myself. I remember several months ago before the pandemic, I was in a bathroom at a store and I wanted to use one of the stalls but it wouldn't open, so I knocked and asked if there was anyone in there. Silence. So I knocked again and again asked if anyone was in there. Again I was met with silence. So I assumed it had just locked by accident and was empty so I proceeded to jimmy the lock and when I swung the door there was somebody in there and he looked at me real angry and I was like, woah! Sorry dude! LOL
Oh no! 😂 I don't suppose he was expecting that!
Love
When I was a young girl we lived at Bonnieville Dam on the Columbia River. I would always run down to the locks and wave the sailors on their ships. It would make my dad quite mad.
😁
7:37 looks fantastic
Thanks!
I want to eat everything you cook!!!!
Even my burnt pancakes that set the smoke alarm off?
@@PlanetImo absolutely. They looked delicious! I’m considering being a vegetarian but I get bored with food quickly. I like to see what you cook and how you cook it! I think you are very creative.
Home made Pancakes TASTY!! 🚭
9:28 much better.. need some cool sunglasses next
They were - apart from the burnt bits!
Wow that bridge looks so strange.
It's like something out of a sci-fi movie!
New subscribe✌️✌️✌️
Aw, thank you so much!
Yay, 1st comment! :-D
Second! But congrats anyway. 😁 It's cos I hold my comments for moderation.
The baseball cap does suit you.
Aw, thank you!
@ImoandizzyVlogs Hi Nice video , Can i ask for college does she go to a FE COLLEGE which is a 14 - 16 program and is she studing a 2 year program with an FE COLLEGE. the reason iam asking is that my son did this 2 year program and then progressed onto Another course at the college. he did the same thing as hear 6 years ago in september 2014.
Hello! She is at an FE college studying GCSE level - or at least she's supposed to be - we're having some hiccups with the maths and English class as she's automatically been put into level 1, which is rather frustrating, but she's level two for the BTEC (equivalent of 4 GCSEs). It's a one year course. Thanks for watching! 😊
@@PlanetImo Hi My son did the same thing which Izzy did! But the reason why he was in an FE COLLEGE at 14 - 16 is because he had SEN and was in a STF in an mainstream school which meant he was limited what he could do in terms of his ability. so is izzy doing a Level 1 vocational course at an FE college. can i ask is it 14 - 18 year old like mixed in here class. because my son did 14 - 16 which is the same as year 10 and 11 then he progressed onto a L1 course at the college the same which he did for 14 - 16 because he didnt pass and then did L2 and then L3 and then HE at an Fe college due to his autism! Just wondering about is izzy liking the college? Is she is Mon Tues Wed!
There you go again Imo burning down the house
Hahahaha omg that sound actually triggered my smart home to start sending out notifications of a smoke alarm going off in my house 🤣😂
WOW!! That must have been one hell of a burnt pancake!
yo
