- Welppp imma head out cuz it's officially autumn in England. We spent a few days in the countryside this September and I thought I would share some of the fall festivities ~ mostly walking, eating bread, and rummaging vintage trinkets. We had a lovely time aside from me driving for the first time in London (you brits are sickos for those roundabouts).
Here are the villages we visited in the Cotswolds:
Bourton on the Water
Lower Slaughter
Stow on the Wold
Burford
Thanks for watching! love ya bye

Hello weary traveler. Thanks for stopping by.
My name is Bri. I’m the artist and keeper behind this channel.🐛
I make arts & crafts related videos with my dog Odin (bb Odie) by my side.
My work is inspired by whimsy, fantasy, and nature. I started this channel during the pandemic to share my hobby and connect with other makers. Since then my partner and I moved from the US to the UK, where I started making vlogs about art, travel, and life in my 30s.
Have a seat, stay a while.

FYI. The red stuff climbing the walls is virginia creeper not ivy
I am living vicariously through you right now! I visited the UK when I was 15. I am hoping I will be able to return before I am 80 😂
The stone mushrooms you saw are called staddle stones; originally they were used to keep vermin out of grain barns by having the barn built on top of them, one in each corner to keep it off the ground and the head part would stop the rats and mice from climbing them. Nowadays they are used ornamentally, such as you saw.
oh neat okay! I loved how they looked like mossy mushrooms
My American daughter-in-law took to driving over there like a fish to water when we visited. She was 31 at the time and loved driving there!
A bunnykins ash tray!! Really? It's a child's bowl.
guess I’m just built different (poorly)
I just came across your channel this morning and really enjoyed your video thank you. I am English and even I wouldn't dare drive in London. All credit to you for giving it a go and I applaud you for doing so 👏. So sorry to hear you had to endure being beeped and shouted at by other road users, not nice especially on your first time driving over here. I guess you could always take a train out of London and then hire a car so you don't have to endure London's roads again. You bought some lovely finds, I also love looking around antique shops.
Oh hi! thanks for watching❤️ I’ll be stickin’ to the train from here on out 😅
I love your haul, the plate and the wooden stand were gorgeous. I live not far from Bourton, and spent a lot of time there growing up as my grandparents lived there. I think I will have a wander over there at some point over the winter to see the antique shops, I don't frequent it as much as I used to as it does get very busy.
hi there, thank you! 🦔 What a lovely place to grow up, I’m right jealous
I loved the haul so much I bought a matching plate to the Franklin one. Squirrel and mushrooms? Way too my style to ignore. That town was so precious. It made me want to move to a small town so badly. Also? I’m so jealous of how easy it is to just walk places there. I feel like I’d get a ton of more exercise in if I could just walk to places from my house.
Like you just found a matching plate online? 😂 yesss
Also same - I wish they made more walkable communities in the US
Temperature is extremely easy to work out in Celsius look at it like this 0 is freezing 100 is boiling water so extremely hot
Celsius to Farenheit - double it & add 28 gets you close enough for jazz.
I wouldn’t have that map.
Where is South London??
My hometown,sarf of the river.
Loved the video and subscribed...you look like one of those Pre-Raphaelite women in the paintings the way you dress and look...definitely fitted right in with the cotswolds ❤
I will be thinking about this all day 🤤
@briisokay ...Arthurian legend look...😉🧝♀️
Nothing more terrifying than an American in the UK say they are going to 'have a go' at driving!
I've noticed every American making the same mistake pronouncing Cotswolds. It's "-wolds", rhyming with "colds", not "-walds", rhyming with Oswalds.
Also it's borton not burton.
apologies that’s the southern american accent comin’ out
@@briisokay No problem. Y'all come back now. 😏
@jamesrowe3606 Amen brother 🧈
Great channel, I’m still catching up. If you’re still after a sugar hit Mr Kiplings French Fancies are very sweet, particularly the Halloween ones.
yeah I am interested in this 🧐
Motorbikes are not allowed to drive inbetween cars in the UK, but they do it anyway. Small country lanes are scary to drive down. They're so narrow. 😮 I've just found your channel and I love your videos. Very cosy.
Oh thanks very much! ❤️ so narrow! I kept drifting into the hedges whenever a car passed 😅
What a beautiful place to take a walk 🤎
Re: the framed picture-
you should be able to remove the back of the frame,so there might be some info actually on back of the print itself.
I’ll check!
I screamed at the brambly hedge dishware 😭 I loved those books as a kid
so whimsical and sweet 🥲🥲
What a lovely trip. I felt your anxiety when you mentioned driving! My shoulders were hunched up when you got the car! I was worried for ya’ll 😂 You had me laughing throughout the video. You’re so funny. Love all the items you got. The 3D cottage picture and tea pot are so cute! Thanks for sharing!
thanks so much! ❤️🍂 I think some people are drivers and some people are passengers. And girl I am a passenger 🫡
I had to look up what 10 degree Celsius is to Fahrenheit , it’s 50 F! Never would have guessed. 10 sounds so cold.
Double the Celsius number then add 30.
That little lot must have ruined you for the best part of a grand in the Cotswolds!
Charity shops are the way to go over antique shops imo.
Very good vid though.
Maybe 200-300 quid? So not cheap, but not quite as bad.
I’ve nearly given up on charity shops here bc I never find any good home stuff. I’ve had better luck at flea markets. Where should I be looking?
@@briisokay every town and village has a charity shop,but in order to get to the good stuff,you have to plough through the tat.
Boot sales the same,but every now and then,I find a gem.3 weeks ago,I got hold of a first pressing of Led Zeppelin II for 3 quid and been told it’s worth between 13-1500 quid.
No special formula,just good old leg work.
You got some real treasures in the Cotswolds we went there but we got into town around 4pm ...5pm and they were closing down the shops we had been hopping around different towns...so I missed out on the shopping...you need to check out Levenham I think that is what it is called a town of crooked homes and shops...they all lean...like the leaning tower of Pisa...in Italy...and don't forget Stonehenge...I love England cherish it...
Hello I live in Suffolk England where Lavenham is. It does have the most crooked house in Britain. It's where the nursery rhyme There was a crooked House came from. Don't know if you've heard of it?. It's also where Harry Potters house is which was featured in the film Deathly Hallows part 1. It is a very pretty medieval village to visit. Thank you for mentioning it🙂
Woah! I just googled it and it looks absolutely darling. Storybook/Godric’s hollow for sure
Bourton not Burton...(bore-ton) and Worcester is wusster not war cester
The first one I can accept, the second one gave me whiplash
@briisokay haha but it is pronounced Wusster.. trust me lived here all my life :)
Oh I do, thanks! I never would have read it that way 😅
Another American waffling about driving in the UK again 🙄😫🥱. Other than the over dramatisation of driving, a very good video, well done 😉🙂👏
