I do enjoy watching this travel vlogs of people visiting the UK. Glad you enjoyed the stuff we take for granted.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Next week's video is our visit to Scotland!
England is indeed a beautiful country, with a rich history evident around every corner.
It really is. We cherished our experience and are so grateful we could visit! 😍
It's a pity that the country has so many dumps allover the place. It's about the poorest and filfyest country within Europe.
Yes England is beatiful,only the south and the Midlands,NOT the North though,Its grim,there is a saying ,its grim up north.
@@andrewbarrett42 Oh I think there will be a fight coming. Lots of Northerners have commented that I didn't see the North..... let me get some popcorn to watch this go down.
"You could film a movie here!" they DO film movies here! 🤣🤣🤣
@@user-ev1tl5rf7o ha ha and they were filming that day in Oxford! Did you see the film crew?
@@sierralovesdogs Sure did, but didn't want to rub it in! 😍😍😍
@@user-ev1tl5rf7o 🤣
@@user-ev1tl5rf7o game of thrones, brave heart, lord of the rings... sll gad English and UK filming sessions and The Last batman film was filmed in Liverpool!
Did you know they filmed some of the 1980s Superman movie in Wokingham? The whole film was shot in Pinewood Studios, England and a scene in a bowling alley was filmed locally as Wokingham was one of the few places in England that had a US-style bowling alley at the time. Also, “Privet Drive”, where Harry Potter lived under the stairs, was filmed a couple of stops down on the train line to Waterloo, in Martin’s Heron.
My immediate take from your vlog was fun, laughter, joy, and happiness, it's quite infectious. Personally you exude a love and enthusiasm for everyone and everything around you, and for this I'd like to give you my thanks, I smiled and laughed throughout you're travels. You clearly have a true vocation for this media....do more!
@@robk5159 I’m so glad you enjoyed it our trip! I do try to drink life to the lees! Next week… Scotland!
Oh my gosh the towns are so adorable. Driving on the left - oh no. Also, love the 90 kilo LOL. The castles, just wow. AND Yes!!! Ted Lasso area. Thank you for sharing all the mooching!
@@Iz-SixtyandBeyond clearly my conversion skills need help! 🤣 thanks for watching! Are you a Ted Lasso fan?
@@sierralovesdogs I wouldn't know what to do with the metric system either - YES! Love Ted Lasso.
For such a small island it's truly incredible how much diversity there is. Be it landscapes, regional accents, art, food (yes, we have fantastic food in Britain!) and history. London is a wonderful city, but Edinburgh is stunning, not to mention the Highlands.
I'm always surprised at the musical output for a such a small island too. Edinburgh is my next video!
Thanks all you, for just being you. Well played. I enjoyed seeing our rich, cultural country through another's eyes. As an older English man, I've spent almost 20 years mostly out of the country, seeing your vlog actually has made me love my country more and want to explore It again. So, well done.
Oh I love this comment. So glad you enjoyed it! England is such a special place!
Those ice creams needed a chocolate flake. Next time you're in England, ask the ice cream vendor for a 99.
We saw those and had one in Scotland! YUM! I will say - Cadbury beats Hershey's any day!
Cant wait for my daughter to grow up and be as disinterested as your youngest seemed to be! Though you did at least look like you had fun, thats great!
@@davidhogg657 think she just didn’t want the camera in her face the whole time lol
@sierralovesdogs my child's only 3. Teenage years a way off yet. We live in the north of England. You should try and make it up here if you ever get the chance.
@@davidhogg657 YES! Posting a video later today about that very comment!
@@sierralovesdogsYou look so lovely, hope you had a great time, come back again.
Dry cold 'Hot' cross bun? Needed toasting and some butter.
Great view into your trip, and your culture shocks. Light in the afternoon gets me. When is it dark usually in the US?
Great ABBA. If you just kept humming, i wouldn't have know you didn't know the words.
Blur - Parklife i think from the 90's
@@TIDYJOKER ha ha they really were NOT good cold and stale but we didn’t have a way to warm them in our hotel room. 🤷♀️ sunsets in the summer at 8:30. Dark by 9:00 ha ha - Abba is so fun! Yes Parklife! Had to Shazam it! Thanks for all your comments and for watching!
Just a nerd note, the bottle tops in all of europe have been changed to stay with the bottle for easy recycling and also because people discard tops away from bottle . "littering"
I think it's brilliant! Just had never seen it before! Cheers!
OK yes you CAN go inside Buckingham Palace, but on certain days when the king is not there.
He DOES stay there sometimes, but remember the Royal Family have other much more historic properties, castles, etc, which you also can visit.
You need to visit all four of our nations to get an introductory overview of the historic properties, castles, manor houses, etc.etc.
YES! Just posted Scotland! Still need to go to N. Ireland and Wales! I didn't think the King stayed their at all, but that's interesting to learn!
@@sierralovesdogs You can tell when the King is in residence as instead of the Union Flag flying from the flagpole the Royal Standard will fly instead.
@@dogsnads5634 meaning the England flag vs. the UK flag, is that right? I'm learning!
@@sierralovesdogs Close...but no cigar. The UK flag is the Union Flag (also called the Union Jack when flown from a ships jackstaff, most people get the names mixed up though..it doesn't actually really matter). Thats the red, white and blue crossed design flag that most people associate with the UK.
The Royal Standard is a far more ornate flag, with a quarter each denoting the constituent nations of the UK. The only time you ever see it is over a palace when the Sovereign is in residence or over Parliament when the Sovereign is visiting as a courtesy.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Standard_of_the_United_Kingdom
@@dogsnads5634 ooooooohhhhhh. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Royal Standard! Pretty!
I am a Londoner in my early 40s and watching your video and others which I also browse which are similar are motivating me to explore the rest of our country with my wife. I have not travelled much away from London apart from visiting my brother on the IOW and sister in Oxord, which is good as great places to visit. I used to go to other parts of the country when I was a child with my family and so it is nice to be inspired. I will visit York in a couple of months and then elsewhere in the future. The only problem with travelling arond the UK is it is more expensive than going around the rest of Europe which is crazy, but I love the country where I live. Great Vlog!
@@breakaleg8471 interesting that your own country is more expensive! I bet that’s why you haven’t seen as much of it. Glad this inspired you to see more. You have a beautiful country with a rich landscape, history and people! Enjoy it! 🤗
What fun! I think it's so funny that Helena seems exasperated by the whole TH-cam experience!!!
Right? Love when she took the phone from me to see how it felt being interviewed. I thought I did pretty well! 😂.
@@sierralovesdogs You did very well.😀 I love how you were unphased by her turning the tables.
You can't go wrong saying, "Cheers!". Glad you had a great time in England. Make sure you come back soon to see other places such as Bath, Chester, Liverpool, Portsmouth, York, etc.
@@thepymes I like the Liverpool accent. Portsmouth I’d like to visit mainly to see the air craft carriers leaving Portsmouth. But you are right there are many beautiful places to visit in the UK 👍
Yes, will need to! I hope to soon!
Oddly enough clicked and watched this while constructing a sandwich of shrimp/prawns and a generous quantity of Heinz (Seriously) Good Mayonnaise. Video and sandwich both very enjoyable.
@@thegroovetube3247 ha ha that’s amazing! Love it! 🍤🥪
There's more to England than you might think.England is not just soley London as outsiders think,next time go north towards Scotland and you'll see we have a spectacular Island we call home.. ....
@@Oxygene1841 we went to Scotland from England - you’ll see my Scotland vlog next week if you’re subscribed!
@sierralovesdogs
Northern England is amazing, so stop on the way to Scotland.
The north west = the lakes Beautiful
The Northeast (my home), there is Durham, and York... lots more, but it would take an age to see it all
❤ from Northeast England ❤️
Scotland isn't part of England!
@@oopsdidItypethatoutloudManchester too best city in England
@@liammears-cw7qb
😂😂😂😂😂... Oh, you're serious 🙄
I randomly clicked on this video and the first town you go to is WOKINGHAM , where I live , unbelievable. Glad you had a nice time
Glad you enjoyed your stay in England, the tops on water bottles that don't come off is an effort to drive down single use plastic waste so the bottle and top both get recycled, the hot cross bun is ideally toasted and had with butter 😊
I bet that would have improved the bun immensely. 🤣 I think it's a great idea to keep the bottle caps together with the bottles. Makes so much sense!
Not necessarily toasted-- just split & spread with butter.
@@stuartryde4132 no way do I want " a hot cross bum." It sounds both angry and painful . Ian Dee.
@@user-ml3rb7mv1g Well spotted 😄
@@sierralovesdogs It may seem like a good idea however it makes drinking difficult and I have twice recently spilt fluid on my T shirt. Obviously it will not drive down single use plastic waste!
Glad you and your family had a wonderful time in my home country. 😁👍🇬🇧
I came here from your video about how much money you made from your first monetised month. You have got interesting content, keep up the good work.
Ps - Subbed. 😊
@@Throngowman thanks for watching a second one and subbing! My biggest challenge is that my content is all over the place! 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Oxford University is comprised of a number of different Colleges with different names.
It is the same at Cambridge.
Thank you for the video. It is entertaining.
@@redsquirrel1086 yes our friends were explaining that. I don’t think we have anything like that in America. They were equally confused about our Greek system! Thanks for commenting! 😄
So glad you enjoyed a brief visit to my home town of Richmond.Also home to our national treasure Sir David Attenborough,and a few doors down from the 'Ted Lasso' pub,was Virginia Woolfs very brief home
Oh wow! As an English major I'm mad I missed Virginia Woolf's home! Richmond was lovely!
@@sierralovesdogs Ah well. Virginia & Leonard also ran the Hogath press from the so named house up the road.When she had a nervous breakdown,she spent a short while in a nursing home over the river in Cambridge Park,and she's got a statue on Richmond riverside.Some thought ill fitting due to how she committed suicide by drowning. Thankfully Richmond will not get touched by the race riots sweeping the UK right now
@@ericg5791 Oh that does seem somewhat inappropriate! 😶Why is Richmond untouched?
Great video. You guys got lucky with the weather.
When it's nice, England is probably the nicest country in the world.
Alas, it's grey and raining a lot of the time.
We were SO happy with the weather there! I'll be posting about the other countries we visited on this trip and we were wet a LOT! I was most happy for my friend that she had beautiful wedding weather! ☺
Why do you only mention England? There are three other countries in the United Kingdom - Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Or didn't you know?
@@lorddaver5729 Because that was the topic of this video blog, local days out not far from Wokingham, and a wedding, all in England which you are allowed to say, just as when they visit Scotland that’s where they are and can use in the title.
@@john_smith1471 @lorddaver5729 correct! My video posting later today is about visiting Scotland! I have yet to visit Wales and N. Ireland but I hope to someday!
I'm glad that you all liked the town centre in Wokingham. It's a great place to live
Do you live there??? It's gorgeous! We loved The Lord Raglan!
@@sierralovesdogs It takes me about 20 minutes to walk into town. The 16th Century building you looked at, the one with the blue plaque, used to be my doctors surgery.
@@stretch977 Wow! The Tudor House? That's amazing!
Fabulous... Cheers is the right thing to do.... we do it A LOT.... Bless You
I love it! Maybe it will start to catch on here if I use it? LOL 🤣🤣
Wow really enjoyed your family enjoying England!🇬🇧👍Thankyou.
Glad you enjoyed it. Posting Scotland today!
At Buckingham Palace, if the flag is raised, that means the king is in residence
Its ònly wĥen the Royal Standard is raised that the King is in residence
How to eat a Hot Cross Bun -- split with knife & spread with butter. Toast the bun after splitting if you like.
That would have been better! 😄
Toasting is essential in my opinion, it brings out the spice flavours.
@@paulm2467 OK I guess there is a debate here! 🤣
Americans always say they have visited England but they never get out of the south try heading north. Yorkshire dales. lakes and scotland
@@keithbarratt633 check my next video! Scotland!
Well they did visit England...just like you'd say you went to the US if you went to Santa Barbara and Olympia ...🤷♂️
Translation: Visit and spend money in my neighbourhood
@@twominutesturkish6664 ha ha exactly! 😂
Just a quick one on Buckingham Palace. If the Royal Standard is flying, the Monarch is in residence.
Oh got it! Thanks for sharing! 😍
That song was Parklife by Blur. It was released in 1994. The singer, Damon Albarn, is also in the band Gorillaz in case you've heard of them. Also, that station in Windsor is not the entrance to the castle. They're entirely separate. There's even a road between the two!
@@stevelknievel4183 yes of course I Shazammed it so I could be in the know. Hit number one in UK but didn’t do as well in USA - go figure… great song! Yes - I know Gorillaz - that’s crazy! And yes I realize that the station isn’t the entrance… 🤦♀️ just meant we walked through it. Ugh - words are hard! 🙈😫😄
When you said Big Ben, that is actually the Queen Elizabeth II tower. Big Ben is actually a bell. It was made in Scotland in the same foundry as the Liberty bell in America was made.
YES! I learned that I made that mistake and so many others and actually made a follow up video here if you are interested. th-cam.com/video/du80PCQ753Y/w-d-xo.html. I really did appreciate all the comments that helped to learn!
Hello from England 🏴 great video 👍🏼 I’m glad you all enjoyed my home country madam.
Thank you and hello! I really loved England! Thanks for having a great country! 🤗
Thank you for visiting our little country hope you all enjoyed your visit 😊
I definitely did! 😍 Thanks for commenting!
@@sierralovesdogs No thank you for a great video I really enjoyed it thanks for taking the time for posting it, enjoy your travels 😊
Glad you sent to Oxford it’s lovely , you chose well regarding the locations you went to, excellent.
Put York on your bucket list for your next visit you can wander around the ancient walls and streets.
Is that the same as Yorkshire?
@@sierralovesdogs York is the city and Yorkshire is the county around there. Both very beautiful to visit.
@@geoffh2560 oh!! 💡I learned something
Thanks for allowing us to see our country through your eyes. You are very sweet.
Thanks for having an amazing country to visit! 🤓
Our country is called Britain. England is a large part of it but not all of it. Wales is easy to reach from London, 2hrs West. And Cornwall is strictly speaking a celtic nation, Kernow. Which was never legally united with England. And of course Scotland to the north. There is train from London that gets to York in 2hrs. York is a must. The Shambles is unique in England.
So would you say England is a region or????
When the King is in the Palace they fly the Royal Flag above the building
Ahhh! Thank you for explaining! 😄
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your experiences in England 🏴. Your family seemed to get into the vibe of the place and I sincerely hope that you enjoy your time here.
Thanks for coming.
I myself have been to the States more than 20 times over many years first visit was in 1977.
We had an amazing time and enjoyed every moment. You have travelled a LOT! Thanks for commenting!
I lived in Germany for eight years and visited many cities across Europe. I found that the cities in England featured in your videos look quite similar to those in Germany, the Netherlands, and France. You mentioned that these buildings and sceneries are quite different from where you live. May I asking you to make a video showcasing the interesting and beautiful sights around the city you live? I really enjoy watching your videos. 💛🧡❤
They do - it must be the time period or that they had access to similar materials? We also visited Scotland and the Netherlands on this trip so I'll be adding those clips soon. I love your idea to explore my hometown but I worry if anyone would find where I live interesting? But now you have me thinking! 🤔 Thanks for commenting and for the suggestion! 😊
It's mostly Georgian across the board. It's due to the the hanoverian period of monarchy taking over the dynastic line in the UK and bringing their style of architecture from their region of mainland Europe in a period of extensive rebuilding and improvement of techniques after wars, fires, pestilence etc.
@@craiglittle1437 🤔interesting!
It's mad seeing clips of Wokingham. That was the town I grew up in. The Tudor House at 5:12 was the old Doctor's surgery, so I don't have many happy memories of that building as I was always poorly when I went there 🤣
I bet that would crazy to randomly see your hometown on a video - isn't the algorithm wild? I think someone else mentioned The Tudor House was a doctor's office - maybe you were there at the same time! 🤣🤣
@sierralovesdogs Yeah, it's mad. I live up near Liverpool now, so it was nice to see the old town and it's good to see the old building is still standing, even though it reminds me of fevers and sore throats.. 🤣 Thanks for taking the time to film it and share it. Much love for your future travels xx
@@TJJG76 Glad you enjoyed! Take care!
Hot cross buns are normally cut in half, toasted and buttered. Hence hot cross buns.
That would have been better! 🤣 but we were in our hotel room and didn't have butter or a way to heat! lol
Great video. King lives in Buckingham Palace. Can tell hes there as flag flies at full mast. He is in Balmoral in summer though.
I really enjoyed this, and I'm glad you enjoyed your visit here. The funny thing is that I live here and haven't seen half of what you filmed! Quite an education for me! I live in Southampton on the South coast of England (about an hour on the train from London), and we have old town walls and very old buildings all over the place but we're used to them I suppose as we see them every day. Your enthusiasm shines through. Looking forward to your next video! (Cheers, as you said at the end of your video!). 👍🙂
Yes, it's always fun to see things through other's eyes. I love when friends come to visit from out of town because you get to experience through their eyes! Cheers!
@@sierralovesdogs I must admit, your video is the sort I should be doing, it's much more interesting! I don't have your confidence I'm afraid, but I can always build on it!
That blonde daughter though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!attitude or what
A bit harsh !
Remember when you were young. 🤔 😂😂
When you’re that stunningly beautiful you can have whatever attitude you want!

@@muttley5958 Not so young that she should have grown out of it.
Amazing! I have just come across your VLOG. The British Government should fund your next trip. You have probably put about £1 billion into our coffers from extra.tourism. You have shown me places I didn't know about in my own country. Your smile is so engaging as is your enthusiasm for life. Thank you it was very entertaining.
Oh that's really funny! Wouldn't that be nice??? 😍 Ha! What's a coffer? Hmmm, by deduction, a wallet? Anyway, your comment made my day! Thanks for sharing!
What a brilliant video, jolly well done. Cheers
@@iankelly5387 that’s my favorite part - saying Cheers! 😄😄
It's more accurate to say 'um', rather than 'ham'. So 'Bucking-um' rather than 'Bucking-ham'. Enjoyed the video, and glad you all had a good time.
@@julianbarber4708 ha ha - I have a video coming out where I try this!
Great video! I live just outside London (in Surrey), lived in Richmond for many years, and often visit Windsor. You highlighted some good sight given you attended a wedding and stayed with friends meant you managed to experience some real 'British life'. Hopefully, you and your family return to the UK and discover other parts of our diverse country, and visit other towns/villages and experience other regions and the countryside. 😀
YES! Apparently I need to go north next time! Although we did hit Scotland as well (next video).
@@sierralovesdogs Great to hear. I'll check that out. 👍
You spent your stay in the South of England, hopefully next time you come you’ll see the rest of the country, Lake District, Cotswold and Whitby & Yorkshire moors should be a visit you should see, more to England than London.
Yes! Will need to come north next time! I realize there is more to see!
The caps don’t one off so they stay with the bottle to help with recycling
It's a great and simple idea!
The video reminds me so much of how my grown kids are😂. Mine seem so uninterested in my TH-cam videos 😂. Loved your adventure❤
Ha ha! It's so true - it's mom's little annoying hobby. But they are good sports considering I'm recording and posting them. 🤗
@@sierralovesdogs YES!! I feel you! But it’s sooo fun and I totally get it. Your kids are true sports for supporting you💕.
They really are. When I was on TikTok my daughter was MORTIFIED which is why I changed my username..... lol
@@sierralovesdogs 🤣😂 LOL, that is soo funny to me!
@@Moneyfromzero ha ha yeah she was like "people know you're my mom and it's EMBARRASSING!"
OMG that's the best "tourist" videos eva.
Also, cheers can mean "thanks & goodbye" so it is indeed appropriate to leave an establishment and say "cheers". Common, too, to call out to "cheers driver" as you jump off the bus.
I had the best time - hope it showed! Cheers! 🤩
I lived in Oxford for a year my biggest regret was never going into The Eagle and Child pub it's where JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis used to drink together and talk. I won't make the same mistake if I go back there.
We did walk by it and it was pointed out but didn't stop in. At least I saw it! 😀
Known to locals as the Baby and Bird.
@@missharry5727 oh how cute!
Glad you enjoyed our wonderful, historic country!!
I really did! Thanks so much for having a wonderful country! 😃
you done more in one day in Oxford than me living here for 9 years! hahaha
Well I could say the same of my home. There is never the same urgency to see everything when you could do it anytime. I love when visitors come because they ask to see or do things that I've never heard of near me! Thanks for commenting! Cheers! 🤗
Great video. Really nice to see your perspective of Wokingham where I live. When I stumbled on this video I never thought I’d see Wokingham Waitrose which is where I shop most days. I even recognised the staff you interacted with😊
Ha ha that’s crazy! I can only imagine if I saw my hometown on a stranger’s video I would feel the same! They were so nice at Waitrose letting us record the official first purchase! 🤗 Also, Lord Raglan’s was one of our fav meals of the trip. What a great town you live in!
England is gorgeous!
We loved it!
I remember a time before Ted Lasso , where the area and the Pubs about was a place we socialised. Now it is totally ruined.
@@Iskandar64 because too many tourists?
The entrance to Windsor castle is not the train station lol. The castle and town were there many hundreds of years before trains arrived lol
@@BeckyPoleninja D’oh🤦♀️You’re correct that I didn’t explain that well. 🙈I meant more that we walked through it on our way to Windsor. Thanks for clarifying!
I'm British, and the bottle caps not coming off is weird for us, too. Very recent EU legislation that has come into force has made it a requirement, to help reduce pastic waste (since people often discard or lose caps, and the hope is it'll increase the chance of the cap getting recycled).
Probably a good piece of legislation, ultimately, but it'll take some getting used to.
I think it's a great idea! 💡 I had just never encountered it before! Very simple adjustment in manufacturing with a big payoff!
Little thing I’ve noticed with Americans who travel to the U.K for TH-cam Vlogs is they pronounce the HAM as HAM for example BuckingHAM , WokingHAM..we Brits don’t pronounce it as HAM but MMM (like the noise when somethings delicious) ..BuckingMMM ,WokingMMM
I also noticed after a day or two that they don't say "Walking-ham", they say "Woke-ingham" or rather "hmm". 🤣 Aren't the differences delightful??? What a wonderful world we live in!
Bless you, a golden eye, left side best side, Oxford is my birthplace hometown. Glad you got to see a little of it.
I live near Hampton Court now - one of the best palaces to visit better in my view than central London or even Windsor (although Windsor)
I love how most of your references are from TV or films - I enjoyed the VLOG.
Took my daughter around 14 at a time to Blackwall’s she didn’t want to leave!
Used to get my lunch from the covered market each day and sit around the Radcliffe Camera building for it.
Cheers 👋 glad you had a nice time
@@Lone_GamerUK i didn’t want to leave Blackwell’s either! Amazing!
Yes, isn’t it amazing how influential Hollywood is? 🎬🎬
Oxford - what a great place to be from!
@@sierralovesdogsGlad you family had a nice time.
That round building opposite Blackwall’s is the Sheldon theatre room amongst other things it where some students get given there degrees. The Radcliffe camera behind covered market is all connected to Bodleian library (no public access) the Radcliffe camera (where I used to have my lunch) is also a round room but a reading room - the Bodleian library is massive & underground for several blocks - it has a copy of every book printed apparently. Check out info on Bodleian Library
Young Sherlock movie was filmed around the side areas.
Great video, glad you enjoyed your visit. Keep them coming, Cheers !👍
Thank you so much! Just posted Scotland! 😊
Nice vlog of your trip. The attached bottles caps is a recent innovation so you don’t lose the cap, keeping the contents fresh or stops it becoming a littering nuisance and can go off together for ease of recycling.
As a side bonus, putting the cap back into place between drinking sessions protects your drink from being spiked!
Oh I hadn't even considered the spiking aspect. That's a good point! And the attachment makes so much sense. USA is lagging in so many areas! 😆
Certainly crammed your short visit guys
We did! I don't want to go places and miss things!
My gran was the royal matron at the castle in Windsor, I grew up there and in Woodstock near Oxford.
WOW! I don't even know what the royal matron means but that sounds impressive! What did she do?

London Bridge was the original cross Thames bridge, it was dismantled and rebuilt in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. In olden days many ferries carried people across the River.
Oxford University has grown over the years from various colleges which specialise in different subjects. It has existed for about a thousand years.
What a thoroughly entertaining fun vlog. I live in England and I love to hear how different things seem to our visitors. Your family are fun and your narration is superb, funny and entertaining. Did I mention I found it fun and entertaining?
@@whome1615 so glad you enjoyed!

Glad you enjoyed your trip. Oxford gets its name from the fact that OX cattle were bred there and it was also the place where they crossed the cattle over the river thames it wa shallow at that point and it was called fording hence Oxford.
@@pjmoseley243 great info! Love it! You should have been our tour guide! Thanks for sharing! 🤩

@@pjmoseley243 Thank you so much!
Sorry, but I actually love your family ❤ ur all amazing
No need to apologize for positivity! Appreciate it! 😊
Big Ben is not called Big Ben. It is called "Elizabeth Tower" Big Ben is the bell at the top. Don't worry, a lot of tourists get that wrong. Hope you had a great time. Great Vlog
It's a colloquialism,and perfectly fine
I had no idea! 🤓
1:28 walking everywhere is something you dont see in the us
Um, the Tower of London was actually a royal palace (originally built by William I) - they did imprison people there, but they're pretty rubbish at it - they kept escaping!
Oh my! I didn't realize it started as a palace first! Needed a tour guide for sure! 👍
@@sierralovesdogs - may I suggest th-cam.com/video/DeiW_bWZ2Is/w-d-xo.html
“Getting drunk” 😂
King does live at Buckingham palace. If royal standard flag is flying he is there if its just union jack he is not.
love this tidbit! Thanks for sharing! 😄
Natural History Museum in Oxford is very good, and free.
It was fantastic. Would have loved to have stayed longer!
Thanks for sharing 🎉
Thanks for watching! Have you been?
Always find it amusing when most people find 72 f a good temperature 😅 but I’m sat here sweating 🤣
Everything is relative, right?
@@sierralovesdogs just depends mostly uk infrastructure built on keeping the warm in so 25c/77F can be really hot and lately the uv is a lot higher than normal so even in the 60s or 70 can be quite hot for us
@@sierralovesdogs 25 c in uk is considered to be a heatwave
@@marcusgirling Oh that makes sense!

I think it's only in the last decade or two that gyms use kilos.
I dont bother with whatever it is - I just remember the number I used last time.
And the weighing machine - that's also different.
I'm used to stones and pounds.
The weather - we have centigrade and I AM used to that - if you were to tell me USA temperatures, I would have to stop and think, but then I'd figure it out.
Now, back to your video to see what mischief you've been getting up to in England.!!
Ha ha - appreciate your comments! 🤓
Visit the north of england next time. It has by far the best scenery and culture.
Bridge of Sighs (in Venice) connect's the ruler's palace to his dungeon...people invited to cross the bridge often were hears to sigh!
Ahhhhh - because they were heading to the dungeon! Should be Bridge of Cries! 😂
The original Bridge of Sighs is in Venice. It was so named because prisoners were taken over the water on it from freedom to captivity. Ian Dee.
Maybe should have been called "Bridge of Cries"! Thanks for commenting! 😍
Love the Turf Tavern. Very cute pub
So funny to hear your attempts to pronounce things! This was a fun video, loved seeing your reactions. I hope you'll come back and explore more in the future.
Oh I'm terrible at accents! Glad you enjoyed it! ☺
9:00 Buckingham Palace. Although the palace is currently undergoing extensive renovation and repair, it is still the king's official residence.
To know whether King Charles is actually in the palace all you need do is check the flag pole.
1. The Royal Standard. The king is at the palace.
2. The Union Jack (the national flag) he is not in residence.
@@gordonsmith8899 but does he actually live there? What if the flag is lowered? Also, don’t the flags give away security? Like now the assassins know where he is?
The bridge of sighs original is in Venice! Prisoners were conveyed across it and it was the last thing they saw before imprisonment!
hence the sighs! 🤣
i am from Scotlland, you are the stunning lady
Thank you! We visited Scotland after England. That will be my next video!
Excellent. This is how to do a vlog!😊
Wow - thank you! Just so I can continue to deliver quality - is there something specific about it that you liked?
If you like cider try thatchers gold
OOOOOHhhh! I'll have to check it out. Hopefully it's available in the states!
As someone from Wokingham seeing you stay there was quite a shock 😂
What a great place to be from! I would be shocked to see my home town too! 🤣
Great video...your blonde daughter is so chilled....😂😉😎
Thats what you call it. 😃😃
@@tradeladder146😂😂
Not the word I would use. 🤨
Cool you guys take the time to troll a 19 year old you don’t know, but you keep going on being chill!
@Ionabrodie69 ...you are weird!! 😅
London Bridge was shipped out to Arizona (surprised you didn't know that).
Other Americans have wanted to ship out whole villages but ended up just getting their hands on a cottage or two.!
I think I knew that at one point but had forgotten! Thanks for the reminder! Shipping out villages though? That's bizarre! 😱
