As a proud English Woman I found your praise for my beautiful home such a treat and it reminded me once again that I have such a rich history that in everyday life, I often forget 😉 As an avid crocheter myself I'm very proud of our many yarn shops up and down the British Isles. If you ever get the chance to visit us again, stop off in Scotland and Wales as you'll find some fantastic yarn shops there in their abundance.
There is so much history everywhere you look in England! I just couldn't get over it! It's such a beautiful and friendly country as well. I would love to visit yarn shops in Scotland and Wales!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
As an American who married a brit and moved to England 36 years ago, I found your vlog hilarious and so reminiscent of my first year here. It IS a special place. Thank you for reminding me not to take it all for granted! 💕
We moved to the northwest of England just over a year ago from South Africa and the availability of such a variety of yarns at good prices. We're also astounded at the narrow roads! My nerves are always on edge when driving 😅. England is beautiful and we're happy to call it home now.
I’m so pleased you visited an English yarn shop Elise!! I live in the UK and love our yarn shops, but also love seeing people from different countries visit ours and give their opinions 🥰🧶! Xx
It's a good think there's an ocean between me and Loop London because it could become a problem. 😂 That shop took my breath away! It was so gorgeous and full of the most gorgeous yarns!! 💓
@@EliseRoseCrochet ahaha 🤣! My local yarn shop - Needlecraft in Hemel Hempstead (you should 100% visit when you next come to England, it’s about 30 mins from London) is about 5 minutes walk from my house and my legs sometimes just take me there, unconsciously. My wallet then appears to be empty….. I know how you feel 😂😂❤️🧶👍
As a Brit living in Cyprus I forgot how lovely and green it is . Really enjoyed The Tower of London, haven't been there in years. So glad you all enjoyed your visit, thank you for sharing.
OHHHH, I miss England so much. York is amazing. My mum is British and I was born in the UK (St. Albans) but I haven't been back in about 20 years now. I must change that! Thank you for sharing your journey xx
Thank you for taking us along with you Elise! That yarn shop looked so cute! Several of my fave YTers live in England, including the Stitch Sisters. The Beatrix Potter display was beautiful and isn't it cool to see things she did with her own hands? At the museum center here in Cincinnati they had a show on Leonardo Da Vinci and there were some of his actual journals on display. I do hope to get to England one of these days! Thanks again! :)
They have a Beatrix Potter display in a small town called Long Melford, Suffolk, as well, she often used to stay there when she lived and apparently wrote some of her books there basing the characters on animals seen at Melford Hall. She was a cousin to the owner at the time, it is now maintained by the National Trust and if you enjoy her works well worth visiting. (Long Melford is also the village where a number of different television shows have been filmed/set, including Lovejoy which I believe was screened in the US).
I'm sooo happy and pleased that you and your family came to the UK - I truly hope you enjoyed your trip, and judging from your video... I think you guys did. I am from London, and so honoured to have you visited and experienced all the lovely things we could offer. Till your next visit (for sure)
Thank you so much! We truly did enjoy our trip!! There are so many things that we didn't get to do while we were there so we will definitely need to come back! 🇬🇧🧶❤️
What an excellent vlog. I would recommend this to any visiting American (or any other nationality) to get a fair impression of England. I like it that you went to York, and Manchester and Bournemouth, as well as London. Too many people just visit only the capital.
This video brought much-needed happiness to me! It was rich and fun pack! Thank you for sharing all the historic places stunning video!! I loved all the churches pure masterpiece!The yarn store was to die for loved the yarn and the handmade Masterpiece! The stadium are stunning And now I’m interested in English Cricket! You have the most Beautiful family you are blessed! Thank you so much for sharing! You and your family are Pure Awesomeness! And I mean that with all my heart!
Oh wow! Thank you for taking us with you. How exciting! I have never been to England. It is on my bucket list. The yarn shop was so cute and the scenery, breath taking, what a great memory. I hope you had a restful flight home. 💕
Thank you! The flight home was easy and it was wonderful to get home to our fur babies! England is such a beautiful place, but I'm glad that yarn shop isn't anywhere close to me...it would be such a temptation!!! 😂🚗🇬🇧❤
I sometimes wish I could get out of England, but your commentary on York and Silverstone reminds me that there is a lot of history and beauty to be admired in our small island country. York is one of my favourite cities and my dream is to eventually live within that region, or the Lake District which you mentioned, as the scenery and history of both places takes my breath away.
Oh Elise! That was wonderful!! I’ve always wanted to visit the UK and was planning a trip for autumn 2020. Of course that didn’t happen because of the pandemic but I am beginning to begin to dream and plan again! Thank you for sharing your trip with us!
As a British person I find it kind of sweet with how fascinated Americans can be by the age of a lot of our landmarks. If you really enjoy dramatic coastlines and castles you should consider visiting Wales. We have the largest amount of castles per square mile anywhere in the world and many areas of outstanding natural beauty.
I was so excited when this video popped up! I live in Brighton on the south coast of England. I have close connections to a lot of the places you travelled to and it was so lovely seeing them through your eyes. I absolutely love your channel and look forward to each episode that you post. I am obsessed with crochet and so enjoy your teachings xxx♥️🌹
I love this place! I'm from north IL, and have lived in London, England for 13 years, and just found this year! This shop is wonderful, and so easy to get to if you live in the Greater London area. Loved seeing your post when looking at some knitting videos. I miss my friends and family in the US so much, so love seeing video's of Americans coming over and appreciating London (through their eyes). Glad you enjoyed your stay in the UK. :)
York is one of my favourite places we were there at Christmas and they had a choir singing carols in one of the side streets it's a magical place ❤️ I live just an hour from the lakes district which is a stunning part of the UK! It's a small island that is rich in history 🙂
Thank you so much, Violet!! I was going to share what I got and then I got so tired I had to finish the video! 😂 I did share it all in the blog post and I'm sure it will make an appearance soon!! 🧶🧶🧶
How absolutely lovely of you & your family to allow us a glimpse into your vacation time, as well as sights some of us will never get to see. What an educational extravaganza!!! Thank you SO much!!!
Thank you so much. The visit to the yarn shop caught my eye, but I enjoyed your whole perspective of visiting England. Glad you had a chance to visit Westminster Cathedral, most people only visit Westminster Abbey. It's also worth going up the tower of the Cathedral as there's a lovely view across London from the top.
Thank you so much for sharing! Would love to go the Westminster Abbey one of these days as well!! So many things to do in London and around the entire country!
I loved your vlog about your visits to England. As a UK resident it was amusing to see the reaction of Americans in the UK. You can buy flavoured water here! I think I would be overwhelmed if I visited the USA. Our poor old Queen, now resides in Windsor Castle, Windsor. Elise you would love Windsor. There is something magical going around London and seeing the sights. London at night is lovely. We are so lucky we have such a deep history. I do very much enjoy USA culture. And we all unite as we love yarn, buying yarn and creating wonderful things from yarn. So glad you enjoyed your stay. Very nice vlog.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!! And the video of Prince Phillip's funeral was such a sad sight. I would love to come back and go to Windsor!! 🇬🇧🚗❤️
Love your video and the way you present your self ! Hi from the UK ..... just bold prints craft shop from Lincolnshire..... I must send you some free wool
I am SO jealous you got to visit England! Going there, specifically to Liverpool and London, (because I'm a huge Beatles and Sherlock Holmes fan,) is my dream. I love the shots of the London eye in the background, and you're right, that yarn shop looked amazing! I bet this was the perfect time of year to visit, as well. Yeah, maybe still kinda cold, but with everything in bloom? The video is gorgeous enough, but in person it must have been out of this world.
Thank you so much, Kate!! It really wasn't even cold when we were there, temps around the 50's and 60's! It only rained once for about 15 minutes on our last day! It was glorious! 🇬🇧🌞
@@EliseRoseCrochet Omg, that's basically my dream weather. I love when I'm still comfortable in a hoodie, but there's enough warmth that I'm not chilled. If you share any other pics on Instagram of your visit, will you tag me so I don't miss them?
My favorite kind of yarn shop! We had one here locally but sadly I think the big box store closed them out. Miss these types of shops! Your tour is so cool! 💗
Thank you!! I think about that yarn shop every day!! It's actually a good thing it's so far away, otherwise I would be in trouble!! I would want it all!! 🧶🧶🧶
A really fun trip. If we had been able to make our dream trip to the UK it would be hard to get my husband away from the Silverstone track. He has a degree in auto restoration. We have 4 MGs in our shop (garage) all in stages of restoration. I would have loved the rest of your trip. I am currently reading a history of the Norman Conquest. What a beautiful video.
Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us ♥️♥️ What an amazing video. My husband spent a few years of his childhood in England so we are hoping to get there someday. What wonderful memories you made. I’m going to have my husband watch it with me now. Blessings 💜💜
Yes!! I found that out later! I actually think it's in Arizona! My husband has seen it many times during his work travels!! It was a wonderful trip!! Thank you! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Step daughter is in the guild of spinners and teaches spinning,raw wool dying, crochet and knitting. She even does leather work. For a heavy goods truck driver and dock worker its a big contrast for her.
Its nice to see that knit shops are finally accepting of crocheters. It was not always the case. I got snubbed a couple of times in yarn stores when they found out i crochet, the store worker walked away, and I got no further help. It's good to see that has changed.
Awwww. That makes me sad. And yes, crochet has come a long way in terms of respect. More people are recognizing it for its unique characteristics and it not just being the less desirable cousin of knitting. 🧶🧶🧶
Dear Chronic Stitcher. They needn't be so snobbish because crochet especially Irish and Vential crochet produces a,delicate Victorian fabric not possible with knitting. In fact knitting to me might be therapeutic but is boring and repetitious and for me I end up not even wanting to finish the project. I always use yarn which looks like thread. As a rule, for my work yarn is too bulky to produce lace
Thank you so much for a very enjoyable video. I’m an Aussie and have not been to England. Beatrix Potter is a great favourite of mine also and the yarn shop was the icing on the cake. 💜
I often hear similar comments about our lovely narrow roads here in Ireland from tourists visiting from the US (usually they don't seem to find them quaint but often express ideas on how easy it would be to simply take farm land from either side and make them much wider, I much prefer your views on the lovely narrow roads - and I grew up in New Zealand where the roads were also considerably wider than they are in the UK and Ireland). I normally find it best to remind them that 1000 -1500 years ago horses and coaches weren't exactly a common sight and the modern roads began as walking tracks for people and livestock. Which is why many are so many metres (feet) lower than the fields on either side and if they are that bothered then they could always do things the old Irish way and walk. Generally makes them think, I suspect many imagine the roads are really only a hundred or so years old, they can't comprehend the fact they are millennia old. Same with the narrow village lanes, those houses weren't built with cars in mind but with only a couple of horses passing each other, maybe a cart or two on market day. I actually find now that I prefer driving on them, and my daughter - who learned to drive in Ireland - will search out the narrow roads when driving between towns as she isn't keen on the wide roads with more than one lane. Next time don't forget to visit Ireland as well, we also have some great yarn shops, we even have some mills where you can buy it from the fleece through to the finished product. Glad you enjoyed your visit.
Thank you for sharing that perspective! I actually had that thought as we were driving through the country! Thinking about how they paved those old roads, which were meant for a totally different way of travel. I would love to go to Ireland one day! My ancestors are from the west coast of Ireland and I think it would be wonderful to see where they were from. ☘☘☘
@@EliseRoseCrochet Some of the roads you drove on in England, especially in York/Eboracum, were probably Roman Roads from 2000 years ago. There are quite a few still in existence and when the Romans made roads, they made them to last. Which part of the west coast are your ancestors from, there is quite a bit of it and large parts have very narrow roads for driving on. And on-coming drivers here tend to drive fast in some places (Donegal especially, explains the road accidents rates) because they know the roads. And then there are the tractors, and even the combines - because why waste money on a machine you can only use for harvesting when you can use it for ploughing, seeding, spraying etc as well all year round. And while they can see you coming over the hedges - lots of hedgerows which mean you can't see oncoming traffic - you can't see them until you go round the next bend and meet them taking up the entire road width (if you're lucky they pull into a field entrance way so you can pass), otherwise you soon forget to worry about the paintwork of the vehicle and just hope you can squeeze between them and the grassy bank. Great fun. Ireland is a great place to visit, came on holiday and still here nearly 30 years on.
This was a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing your vacation. My daughter is visiting London this fall and we hope to tour England, Ireland, and Scotland next year. Your narration is so educational and I am so glad you and your family enjoyed your trip.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! And you are going to love your tour next year! There is sooooo much to do in England and I'm sure in Scotland and Ireland as well! ❤🇬🇧🚗
A simply beautiful and marvelous video tour! Thanks for sharing your journey through England sights. The yarn shop, the churches, the countryside! Wow!
England is a beautiful country like something out of a fairy tale. I visited the country two times on tours and hated to leave. I got to Stratford on Avon, London and York among other places. I wanted to stay forever!!!
Your video came up on my feed! So fun to see an American's take on England! I have to admit I had a giggle at the Old Trafford mix up, easily done without knowledge, there is a big shopping centre of the same name too, the Trafford Centre. Definitely a story to retell for years to come. We take our football VERY seriously! If you ever come over the pond again I think you'd love the New Forest, many beautiful yarn shops similar to the one in London, it's about an hour ish from where you were in Bournemouth/Poole. Spray possible, skunk no, again you had me laughing! Spray from cars in the rain/wet road conditions! Sometimes you get a similar one for small stones & chipping if roads have been resurfaced. Those country roads are very scary, especially when there is no passing space, we def couldn't fit some of the big American cars on our roads comfortably. There is a British Brand called Toft that produce wool & many lovely fun crochet designs, the books on animals are great! I think you might like them :) Thank you for a lovely vlog. 🙂
Awwww my beautiful England! Moved there at 22 and made it my home for 15yrs. I’ve been now 2yrs in Germany and, although it’s beautiful here too with the alps, my heart aches with love and yearning! Thank u for this video!
Wow! My compliments on a wonderful documentary video….beautifully organised,delivered and full of personal responses and detail… I enjoyed it enormously, Thank You 👍🤗 Enjoy your knitting/crochet/yarn crafting…. I’m an addictive stitcher so I know the joy of a well stocked craft shop 😁
This was so fascinating, Elise. As an American with mostly British Isles ancestry, this felt like a little history lesson of where my ancestors came from (mostly Scottish but some English and Irish, too.) The architecture was massive! It's a marvel how those castles and cathedrals were built without the aide of modern equipment! Just sheer man-power! And the yarn shop! All those gorgeous yarns!! I'd want them all! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful journey with us! (I'd never get used to driving on the left side of the road and through those narrow lanes!) Thrilling rides!! Thank you again.... So happy you all arrived safe and sound back home! ⚜️⚜️
I was so excited to watch this! Looks like you had a beautiful time! I’m going to London in two weeks! And then driving to the beautiful coast of Cornwall. Can’t wait!! ❤️❤️❤️
I am English but now live in NZ. Watching your holiday video was a lovely trip down memory lane for me as I had visited some of those places as a child. I’m glad you had such a lovely time. 😀
My dad was in the military and we were stationed at RAF Woodbridge. I was 4 when we moved there. That was the happiest time of my life. I remember going to the Tower of london and seeing the Crown Jewels. My mom used to live antiquing, so she had quite a few antiques from there. This video brogjt back so many happy memories for me, so thank you for aharing!
Awww! I'm so glad! It is such a beautiful part of the world! The Tower of London was absolutely incredible! I've read about all these events in history and then to be in the spot they happened was priceless! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Elise!! Thank you so much for sharing your trip to England with us. I felt like I was there with y’all. The yarn shop was to amazing. I enjoyed getting inspired by the displays there. My absolute favorite was the Beatrix Potter display. My mom read those books to me when I was a kid. She said I was just like Peter Rabbit. Lol I have always been a fan. Thank you, thank you!!💖✨💖
As a Brit who lives in the Cotswolds (in Oxfordshire) I was thrilled when you said York was your favourite part of England. It’s actually my home city and I’m planning to move back there, and I would certainly agree with your assessment. Glad you enjoyed your trip to our lovely country.
@@EliseRoseCrochet Yes, I know what you mean! York is so steeped in history and all the more beautiful for it. If you visit the UK again, you should checkout Bath, I think you would like that too. Ditto where I currently live (Cotswolds) - very old, scenic and several places have been used as film and TV locations. Time to book another trip!
Wow, just found this video and loved it. As a Brit whose lived in the states for 26 years , it was interesting listening to your comments about the narrow roads, the gps Comments because slide right or left are not UK phrases! This visit home, 3 months ago, I also visited Loop and fell in love with it, sadly my knees aren’t great and the thought of going upstairs defeated me But I wish I had now! It was great to see the Harry Styles cardigan because my 23 year old niece taught herself to knit creating that for herself. So glad you all enjoyed the trip, loved the mix up over the two “pitches” and was glad your son could see the funny side!
I just saw this! I didn’t know you back then. I wonder if I was working on your flights. I always love watching Americans go to Europe for the first time. ❤️
Waaaa!!! I want to go to Mass there! And I am overjoyed to hear that you are also Catholic!(I have been following you for quite some time, and that was one thing I was aware of. I should of known though, since you had named your channel in honor of St.Therese.
One of my places to visit on my bucket list is England!! I LOVED this vlog. The yarn shop reminds me of one that I visit near my hometown. One question though: what month were you there? I just found your channel - noticed the video is 7 months old, but wasn’t sure if you were there in April, May or June 😊
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the vlog!! We were there at the end of April! We had the best weather! Not sure if we just got lucky or if the weather is always that nice that time of year! 🌤️🇬🇧🚂
Im going to London on Saturday, this vid has shown me a little of what to expect, one place I will be going is St Pauls ( where Diana and Charles got married ) also Highgate cemetery, George Michaels, London Home, Noel Road Islington where the playwrite Joe Orton was Murdered by his boyfriend, and I might take in a Jack the Ripper tour, quite goulish I know but these things fascinate me.
Elise, I loved your tour of England places I may not get too, however, through your video it was spectacular…. The yarn shop was so cozy… Have a great weekend. Your husband and son are very handsome. BTW MY HUSBAND ALSO ENJOYED YOUR TOUR OF ENGLAND..
The yarn shop was spectacular!!! I could have stayed there all day long!!! So many pretty yarns and notions!! 🧶🧶🧶 And I'm so glad you and your husband enjoyed the video!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Elise, just watched your video on your trip to England, I live in West Sussex, if you come over here again try to go to Anne Boleyn’s Hever castle in Kent, it’s not really a castle but a Manor House and it’s my favourite place to visit, I recently found your channel on TH-cam and now watch all your videos. With love from England x
Oh I will put that on the list! We want to come back for sure! There are so many things that we didn't get to do while we were there! Thank you for sharing!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thoroughly enjoyed your video, you did a 1st class job of filming, I wish others would follow your example, I felt like I was there as you walked over the Tower bridge showing perspectives that other videos don’t, thankyou.
is it just me or is the white horse at Silverstone look very similar to that the same place where Sherlock and Watson are staying at on BBC's adaptation? On the episode about the Hound of the Baskervilles?
@@EliseRoseCrochet I really did and had written my comment before seeing your trip to old Trafford I'm an executive seat holder at United so go to games few hour before 5 course meal all drinks etc my own seat then hour after stay for more drinks and food. Something your son would enjoy a lot I bet.
This is making me miss England. I lived in Bournemouth for a couple of years while I was studying at Bournemouth Uni. My husband proposed on the beach there.
Hi Elise, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your wonderful travel video . I am so pleased you had a joyful time in my beautiful country . It’s so easy to forget what an amazing place we live in , but you seem to have experienced a magical selection of places. I live in the lovely county of Shropshire but have also lived in London , East Sussex , Essex and on Dartmoor in Devon . York is also one of my favourite cities along with Bath , Chester and Liverpool. I hope you and your delightful family get a chance to visit us again soon . Btw, they sell Krispy Kreme donuts all over the uk , lots of the supermarkets have a cabinet of them in there stores. Not sure if it’s still there but there used to be a Krispy Kreme shop/cafe at The Trafford Shopping Centre in Manchester . Thanks for visiting us and come back soon . You’re always welcome and you’ll never run out of historical places to see. x
Thank you so much!! We had the best time and felt like there was so much to see and do and not enough time! I'm sure you could spend a lifetime there and never see it all!! 🚗❤️🇬🇧
Got hungry watching you eat Krispy Kreme 🤭 Was fun to watch but nothing beats River Colors in Rocky River, Ohio. They’re even listed as a distributor in Rowan! 🎖
A great video. You captured the essence of the places you visited but there’s so much more. We do take our country for granted but I’m trying to look at it with new eyes now I’m older. The buildings are fascinating and the green patchwork fields always amaze me when I fly back from other countries. I live in Greater Manchester and have been a fan of Man United since I was 9 years old. The stadium is very special. But the confusion with the cricket stadium was funny 😂. It’s super to get another point of view from a tourist of all the lovely places I have also visited throughout my life. You must come again as there is so much more to visit and see. Ours is a beautiful country. But I enjoy visiting America too 😀 💕🇬🇧🧶✈
Thank you so much!! That's how we felt the entire time we were there.... there are so many things we didn't get to see!! We will definitely be coming back!! 🇬🇧🚗❤️
Hello l throughly enjoyed your video, l am from Melbourne Australia. I went to the British isles in 2008 you brought back so many happy memories for me thank you.
First time when working for an American company two guys came over and screamed, really screamed when I whipped around a roundabout. Really funny at the time until I went driving around the states and it’s all intersections.
Lol!! I bet they did scream!! 😂 I couldn't get over how many roundabouts there were!! But I imagine our intersections would be just as surprising!!🚗🇬🇧❤️
Very good video. I think the London Bridge your refaring to was bought and shipped over to America. It said he thought it was the Tower bridge he bought. But i cant see that myself. It is also said that the street lights that still exist on that Bridge was made from metal of enemy weapons. Something sort of dark about that, But interesting.
Very interesting! Yes! The original London Bridge was taken to Lake Havasu, Arizona. My husband was just there for his job and he sent my son and I a video of it!! So crazy!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
You may have noticed the black ceilings in Westminster Cathedral. I was told that these are "works in progress". When they get enough money they will then fill in the next space.
Elise, I really enjoyed watching your tour of England!! Everything's beautiful. I loved the yarn shop too!! You & your family must've had a lot of fun!!🌞💕
Thanks for sharing your trip with us! If you ever find out what the sign about spray meant and tha half left turn, I would be very interested! Do you ever follow Hooked by Robin? She's in England but all her crochet patterns use American crochet terms! I know you couldn't wait to get home to Olive and Pickle, and they were VERY happy to see you! 😻😻
The sign about Spray Possible is in case of rain and warning in the event a car or truck in front can have water spray from their tires. Makes so much sense. Also the half left meant something like a slight left turn. It took some getting used to for sure!! And I missed the fur babies like crazy!! I couldn't get home to Jersey, Olive and Pickle quick enough!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@EliseRoseCrochet I understand completely! I couldn't remember Jersey's name for the life of me! When Brat was alive, we never spent a night apart! Recently I went to the hospital for routine testing (turned out fine) and went into arrhythmia. I unexpectedly spent a night in the hospital for observation and had to have someone go feed Daisy Mae. He said she was sitting in the front window looking for me. Tore my heart out!!! Poor little cat! Hope that never happens again - I missed her so much! 😻💕
I absolutely loved watching your trip around England and was so pleased you especially loved York, my home town 💖. Your trip to Manchester made my laugh, but I’m pleased your son got to Old Trafford to the Manchester United ground. I can’t wait to see what you bought at Loop and what you make with it 🤗.
Lucky lady to be from York! What an extraordinary place to live! I've already told my husband I want to go back and spend some real time there exploring everything! And Manchester was something we will never forget and still makes us chuckle! 🇬🇧❤🚗
As a Brit, spray possible means that surface water doesn't drain away on the motorway, so visibility can be reduced by rain spray, no clue what a half left is?
That was a nice vid glad you enjoyed your little trip hope your legs have finally recovered from all those steps some great memories that will stay with you a life time the only down side was your poor choice in football club to support haha 👍
Our son has cerebral palsy so hiking can be a bit tricky for him. We tend to stay on easy paths, the rocky beach was a bit of a struggle itself! Would love to go back and explore more.
Thank you so much for this wonderful vlog of your trip to England. I was born and live in England and it was so lovely to see it through you and your family's eyes. What a funny story about the Old Trafford hotel overlooking the cricket ground and not the football ground and it was good to see that you could see the funny side to it. I will have to visit that cute yarn shop one day, it looked amazing.
Haha!!! We learned that there's a difference between the two!! And my son thought it was hilarious!! England is such a beautiful country with a rich history. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! And yes!! Looo London was such a gorgeous shop!! 🧶🇬🇧🧶🇬🇧
Thank you for sharing your travel story, I love England and miss the yarn shops and tea. Have been there several times , so steeped in history and so much to see. The crown jewels are extremely beautiful.
It really is!! Everywhere you look there's something historical or beautiful to look at! The weather could not have been better while we were there either! ❤️
As a proud English Woman I found your praise for my beautiful home such a treat and it reminded me once again that I have such a rich history that in everyday life, I often forget 😉 As an avid crocheter myself I'm very proud of our many yarn shops up and down the British Isles. If you ever get the chance to visit us again, stop off in Scotland and Wales as you'll find some fantastic yarn shops there in their abundance.
There is so much history everywhere you look in England! I just couldn't get over it! It's such a beautiful and friendly country as well. I would love to visit yarn shops in Scotland and Wales!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
As an American who married a brit and moved to England 36 years ago, I found your vlog hilarious and so reminiscent of my first year here. It IS a special place. Thank you for reminding me not to take it all for granted! 💕
Awww! That's wonderful! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that it brought back good memories! 🚗❤🇬🇧
Lucky you!! I wish I could do the same! ❤️❤️😂🤣
Absolutely! I felt the same! :)
Don’t you mean a British person married a yank
So what country did your husband come from?
We moved to the northwest of England just over a year ago from South Africa and the availability of such a variety of yarns at good prices. We're also astounded at the narrow roads! My nerves are always on edge when driving 😅. England is beautiful and we're happy to call it home now.
That's amazing!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels nervous on English roads!! 🇬🇧🚗❤️
I’m so pleased you visited an English yarn shop Elise!! I live in the UK and love our yarn shops, but also love seeing people from different countries visit ours and give their opinions 🥰🧶! Xx
It's a good think there's an ocean between me and Loop London because it could become a problem. 😂 That shop took my breath away! It was so gorgeous and full of the most gorgeous yarns!! 💓
@@EliseRoseCrochet ahaha 🤣! My local yarn shop - Needlecraft in Hemel Hempstead (you should 100% visit when you next come to England, it’s about 30 mins from London) is about 5 minutes walk from my house and my legs sometimes just take me there, unconsciously. My wallet then appears to be empty….. I know how you feel 😂😂❤️🧶👍
Thank you very much for the video.I love this kind of videos.Please, go on.❤
As a Brit living in Cyprus I forgot how lovely and green it is . Really enjoyed The Tower of London, haven't been there in years. So glad you all enjoyed your visit, thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much!' It really is such a green country!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
OHHHH, I miss England so much. York is amazing. My mum is British and I was born in the UK (St. Albans) but I haven't been back in about 20 years now. I must change that! Thank you for sharing your journey xx
Oh that's amazing!! And yes, you need to go back! I hadn't been in 30 years and it was wonderful seeing it again! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you for taking us along with you Elise! That yarn shop looked so cute! Several of my fave YTers live in England, including the Stitch Sisters. The Beatrix Potter display was beautiful and isn't it cool to see things she did with her own hands? At the museum center here in Cincinnati they had a show on Leonardo Da Vinci and there were some of his actual journals on display. I do hope to get to England one of these days! Thanks again! :)
The Beatrix Potter display was just incredible! And I can only imagine how amazing it was to see DaVinci's journals in person! ❤️❤️❤️
They have a Beatrix Potter display in a small town called Long Melford, Suffolk, as well, she often used to stay there when she lived and apparently wrote some of her books there basing the characters on animals seen at Melford Hall. She was a cousin to the owner at the time, it is now maintained by the National Trust and if you enjoy her works well worth visiting. (Long Melford is also the village where a number of different television shows have been filmed/set, including Lovejoy which I believe was screened in the US).
I'm sooo happy and pleased that you and your family came to the UK - I truly hope you enjoyed your trip, and judging from your video... I think you guys did. I am from London, and so honoured to have you visited and experienced all the lovely things we could offer. Till your next visit (for sure)
Thank you so much! We truly did enjoy our trip!! There are so many things that we didn't get to do while we were there so we will definitely need to come back! 🇬🇧🧶❤️
What an excellent vlog. I would recommend this to any visiting American (or any other nationality) to get a fair impression of England. I like it that you went to York, and Manchester and Bournemouth, as well as London. Too many people just visit only the capital.
There's sooo much to see in England and we barely scratched the surface! Can't wait to go back one of these days! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
This video brought much-needed happiness to me! It was rich and fun pack! Thank you for sharing all the historic places stunning video!! I loved all the churches pure masterpiece!The yarn store was to die for loved the yarn and the handmade Masterpiece! The stadium are stunning And now I’m interested in English Cricket! You have the most Beautiful family you are blessed! Thank you so much for sharing! You and your family are Pure Awesomeness! And I mean that with all my heart!
Awww, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! 💓
Oh wow! Thank you for taking us with you. How exciting! I have never been to England. It is on my bucket list. The yarn shop was so cute and the scenery, breath taking, what a great memory. I hope you had a restful flight home. 💕
Thank you! The flight home was easy and it was wonderful to get home to our fur babies! England is such a beautiful place, but I'm glad that yarn shop isn't anywhere close to me...it would be such a temptation!!! 😂🚗🇬🇧❤
I sometimes wish I could get out of England, but your commentary on York and Silverstone reminds me that there is a lot of history and beauty to be admired in our small island country. York is one of my favourite cities and my dream is to eventually live within that region, or the Lake District which you mentioned, as the scenery and history of both places takes my breath away.
I would move to York in a heartbeat! That was the most beautiful area and I still think of it often! You live in a breathtaking country! ❤
Oh Elise! That was wonderful!! I’ve always wanted to visit the UK and was planning a trip for autumn 2020. Of course that didn’t happen because of the pandemic but I am beginning to begin to dream and plan again! Thank you for sharing your trip with us!
You must go! It was such a wonderful trip! The sites are extraordinary and the people are just lovely! It's so nice to travel again! 🧶🧶🧶
As a British person I find it kind of sweet with how fascinated Americans can be by the age of a lot of our landmarks. If you really enjoy dramatic coastlines and castles you should consider visiting Wales. We have the largest amount of castles per square mile anywhere in the world and many areas of outstanding natural beauty.
Oooh!! That sounds amazing!! Would love to visit Wales one of these days!!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
And Wales is nicer than London
They say that in the US, 100 years is a long time whilst in the UK we say 100 miles is a long way!!
I was so excited when this video popped up! I live in Brighton on the south coast of England. I have close connections to a lot of the places you travelled to and it was so lovely seeing them through your eyes. I absolutely love your channel and look forward to each episode that you post. I am obsessed with crochet and so enjoy your teachings xxx♥️🌹
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I just looked up Brighton on the map! What a gorgeous place to live! 🇬🇧❤🌊
I love this place! I'm from north IL, and have lived in London, England for 13 years, and just found this year! This shop is wonderful, and so easy to get to if you live in the Greater London area. Loved seeing your post when looking at some knitting videos. I miss my friends and family in the US so much, so love seeing video's of Americans coming over and appreciating London (through their eyes). Glad you enjoyed your stay in the UK. :)
That's amazing!! I can only imagine what an amazing experience it is to live in London as an American! There's just soooo much to do and see!!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
York is one of my favourite places we were there at Christmas and they had a choir singing carols in one of the side streets it's a magical place ❤️ I live just an hour from the lakes district which is a stunning part of the UK! It's a small island that is rich in history 🙂
I can imagine it is absolutely magical at Christmas!! And so lucky to live near the Lake District!! 🇬🇧❤️🚗
Thank you for sharing your trip across the pond. 🥰🧶😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! ❤️✈️🇬🇧
I love, love, LOVE this look at England!! Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
I hope you show us the yarn you purchased!
Thank you so much, Violet!! I was going to share what I got and then I got so tired I had to finish the video! 😂 I did share it all in the blog post and I'm sure it will make an appearance soon!! 🧶🧶🧶
How absolutely lovely of you & your family to allow us a glimpse into your vacation time, as well as sights some of us will never get to see. What an educational extravaganza!!! Thank you SO much!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🧶🇬🇧🗺️
What a wonderful trip🎶💖The earth is such a jewel that Jesus made.💖
Amen! The countryside was spectacular! 💕
Amen! Are you Christian Shara?! Xx
@@zarac2107 certainly
To an American 100 years is a long time, to a Brit 100 miles is a long way.
Haha!! So true!! 100 miles is nothing! 100 years...ancient!! 😂
Thank you so much. The visit to the yarn shop caught my eye, but I enjoyed your whole perspective of visiting England. Glad you had a chance to visit Westminster Cathedral, most people only visit Westminster Abbey. It's also worth going up the tower of the Cathedral as there's a lovely view across London from the top.
Thank you so much for sharing! Would love to go the Westminster Abbey one of these days as well!! So many things to do in London and around the entire country!
I loved your vlog about your visits to England. As a UK resident it was amusing to see the reaction of Americans in the UK. You can buy flavoured water here! I think I would be overwhelmed if I visited the USA. Our poor old Queen, now resides in Windsor Castle, Windsor. Elise you would love Windsor. There is something magical going around London and seeing the sights. London at night is lovely. We are so lucky we have such a deep history. I do very much enjoy USA culture. And we all unite as we love yarn, buying yarn and creating wonderful things from yarn. So glad you enjoyed your stay. Very nice vlog.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!! And the video of Prince Phillip's funeral was such a sad sight. I would love to come back and go to Windsor!! 🇬🇧🚗❤️
Love your video and the way you present your self ! Hi from the UK ..... just bold prints craft shop from Lincolnshire..... I must send you some free wool
I am SO jealous you got to visit England! Going there, specifically to Liverpool and London, (because I'm a huge Beatles and Sherlock Holmes fan,) is my dream. I love the shots of the London eye in the background, and you're right, that yarn shop looked amazing! I bet this was the perfect time of year to visit, as well. Yeah, maybe still kinda cold, but with everything in bloom? The video is gorgeous enough, but in person it must have been out of this world.
Thank you so much, Kate!! It really wasn't even cold when we were there, temps around the 50's and 60's! It only rained once for about 15 minutes on our last day! It was glorious! 🇬🇧🌞
@@EliseRoseCrochet Omg, that's basically my dream weather. I love when I'm still comfortable in a hoodie, but there's enough warmth that I'm not chilled. If you share any other pics on Instagram of your visit, will you tag me so I don't miss them?
My favorite kind of yarn shop! We had one here locally but sadly I think the big box store closed them out. Miss these types of shops! Your tour is so cool! 💗
Thank you!! I think about that yarn shop every day!! It's actually a good thing it's so far away, otherwise I would be in trouble!! I would want it all!! 🧶🧶🧶
A really fun trip. If we had been able to make our dream trip to the UK it would be hard to get my husband away from the Silverstone track. He has a degree in auto restoration. We have 4 MGs in our shop (garage) all in stages of restoration. I would have loved the rest of your trip. I am currently reading a history of the Norman Conquest. What a beautiful video.
Thank you so very much! Your husband and mine would have a lot in common!! 🏎🇬🇧❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us ♥️♥️ What an amazing video. My husband spent a few years of his childhood in England so we are hoping to get there someday. What wonderful memories you made. I’m going to have my husband watch it with me now. Blessings 💜💜
Awww! That's wonderful!! It was a wonderful trip and I would recommend it to anyone!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The old London bridge is in California. Sold in the 60's or 70's. That was the one that was falling down. Good trip though xx.
Yes!! I found that out later! I actually think it's in Arizona! My husband has seen it many times during his work travels!! It was a wonderful trip!! Thank you! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Step daughter is in the guild of spinners and teaches spinning,raw wool dying, crochet and knitting.
She even does leather work.
For a heavy goods truck driver and dock worker its a big contrast for her.
Just wow!!! What a renaissance woman!! 🧶🧶🧶
Very informative, but Americans please remember England is not a theme park, it's where we call home!
Oh I didn't feel like it was a theme park! I was fascinated by everything and met so many nice people! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
Its nice to see that knit shops are finally accepting of crocheters. It was not always the case. I got snubbed a couple of times in yarn stores when they found out i crochet, the store worker walked away, and I got no further help. It's good to see that has changed.
Awwww. That makes me sad. And yes, crochet has come a long way in terms of respect. More people are recognizing it for its unique characteristics and it not just being the less desirable cousin of knitting. 🧶🧶🧶
Dear Chronic Stitcher. They needn't be so snobbish because crochet especially Irish and Vential crochet produces a,delicate Victorian fabric not possible with knitting. In fact knitting to me might be therapeutic but is boring and repetitious and for me I end up not even wanting to finish the project. I always use yarn which looks like thread. As a rule, for my work yarn is too bulky to produce lace
Thank you so much for a very enjoyable video. I’m an Aussie and have not been to England. Beatrix Potter is a great favourite of mine also and the yarn shop was the icing on the cake. 💜
The Beatrix Potter exhibition was a highlight of the trip!! It was an unexpected surprise!!! 🐰🐰🐰
I often hear similar comments about our lovely narrow roads here in Ireland from tourists visiting from the US (usually they don't seem to find them quaint but often express ideas on how easy it would be to simply take farm land from either side and make them much wider, I much prefer your views on the lovely narrow roads - and I grew up in New Zealand where the roads were also considerably wider than they are in the UK and Ireland). I normally find it best to remind them that 1000 -1500 years ago horses and coaches weren't exactly a common sight and the modern roads began as walking tracks for people and livestock. Which is why many are so many metres (feet) lower than the fields on either side and if they are that bothered then they could always do things the old Irish way and walk. Generally makes them think, I suspect many imagine the roads are really only a hundred or so years old, they can't comprehend the fact they are millennia old. Same with the narrow village lanes, those houses weren't built with cars in mind but with only a couple of horses passing each other, maybe a cart or two on market day.
I actually find now that I prefer driving on them, and my daughter - who learned to drive in Ireland - will search out the narrow roads when driving between towns as she isn't keen on the wide roads with more than one lane.
Next time don't forget to visit Ireland as well, we also have some great yarn shops, we even have some mills where you can buy it from the fleece through to the finished product. Glad you enjoyed your visit.
Thank you for sharing that perspective! I actually had that thought as we were driving through the country! Thinking about how they paved those old roads, which were meant for a totally different way of travel. I would love to go to Ireland one day! My ancestors are from the west coast of Ireland and I think it would be wonderful to see where they were from. ☘☘☘
@@EliseRoseCrochet Some of the roads you drove on in England, especially in York/Eboracum, were probably Roman Roads from 2000 years ago. There are quite a few still in existence and when the Romans made roads, they made them to last.
Which part of the west coast are your ancestors from, there is quite a bit of it and large parts have very narrow roads for driving on. And on-coming drivers here tend to drive fast in some places (Donegal especially, explains the road accidents rates) because they know the roads. And then there are the tractors, and even the combines - because why waste money on a machine you can only use for harvesting when you can use it for ploughing, seeding, spraying etc as well all year round. And while they can see you coming over the hedges - lots of hedgerows which mean you can't see oncoming traffic - you can't see them until you go round the next bend and meet them taking up the entire road width (if you're lucky they pull into a field entrance way so you can pass), otherwise you soon forget to worry about the paintwork of the vehicle and just hope you can squeeze between them and the grassy bank. Great fun.
Ireland is a great place to visit, came on holiday and still here nearly 30 years on.
This was a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing your vacation. My daughter is visiting London this fall and we hope to tour England, Ireland, and Scotland next year. Your narration is so educational and I am so glad you and your family enjoyed your trip.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! And you are going to love your tour next year! There is sooooo much to do in England and I'm sure in Scotland and Ireland as well! ❤🇬🇧🚗
A simply beautiful and marvelous video tour! Thanks for sharing your journey through England sights. The yarn shop, the churches, the countryside! Wow!
Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! ❤️🇬🇧🚗
England is a beautiful country like something out of a fairy tale. I visited the country two times on tours and hated to leave. I got to Stratford on Avon, London and York among other places. I wanted to stay forever!!!
It really is a magical place!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your wonderful trip. I'd love to go there someday. The yarn shop you visited is awesome.
It really was!! The yarn shop was so amazing!!! 🧶🇬🇧🧶🇬🇧
Your video came up on my feed! So fun to see an American's take on England! I have to admit I had a giggle at the Old Trafford mix up, easily done without knowledge, there is a big shopping centre of the same name too, the Trafford Centre. Definitely a story to retell for years to come. We take our football VERY seriously! If you ever come over the pond again I think you'd love the New Forest, many beautiful yarn shops similar to the one in London, it's about an hour ish from where you were in Bournemouth/Poole. Spray possible, skunk no, again you had me laughing! Spray from cars in the rain/wet road conditions! Sometimes you get a similar one for small stones & chipping if roads have been resurfaced. Those country roads are very scary, especially when there is no passing space, we def couldn't fit some of the big American cars on our roads comfortably. There is a British Brand called Toft that produce wool & many lovely fun crochet designs, the books on animals are great! I think you might like them :) Thank you for a lovely vlog. 🙂
I'm so glad you liked the video!! And thank you for the suggestions!! We will definitely come back again! 🇬🇧🚗❤️
Awwww my beautiful England! Moved there at 22 and made it my home for 15yrs. I’ve been now 2yrs in Germany and, although it’s beautiful here too with the alps, my heart aches with love and yearning! Thank u for this video!
Thank you so much!! It's such a beautiful country and I hope to go back someday!! 🇬🇧
Wow! My compliments on a wonderful documentary video….beautifully organised,delivered and full of personal responses and detail… I enjoyed it enormously, Thank You 👍🤗 Enjoy your knitting/crochet/yarn crafting…. I’m an addictive stitcher so I know the joy of a well stocked craft shop 😁
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 🚗🇬🇧❤
This was so fascinating, Elise. As an American with mostly British Isles ancestry, this felt like a little history lesson of where my ancestors came from (mostly Scottish but some English and Irish, too.) The architecture was massive! It's a marvel how those castles and cathedrals were built without the aide of modern equipment! Just sheer man-power! And the yarn shop! All those gorgeous yarns!! I'd want them all!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful journey with us! (I'd never get used to driving on the left side of the road and through those narrow lanes!) Thrilling rides!! Thank you again.... So happy you all arrived safe and sound back home! ⚜️⚜️
I was so excited to watch this! Looks like you had a beautiful time! I’m going to London in two weeks! And then driving to the beautiful coast of Cornwall. Can’t wait!! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh how wonderful!! I've been to Cornwall once, but it was thirty years ago. I still remember how gorgeous it was though. Happy traveling! 🚗🇬🇧❤
I am English but now live in NZ. Watching your holiday video was a lovely trip down memory lane for me as I had visited some of those places as a child. I’m glad you had such a lovely time. 😀
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back good memories!! ❤🇬🇧🚗
Your trip was amazing, thank you for sharing it with us.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🚗🇬🇧❤
My dad was in the military and we were stationed at RAF Woodbridge. I was 4 when we moved there.
That was the happiest time of my life. I remember going to the Tower of london and seeing the Crown Jewels. My mom used to live antiquing, so she had quite a few antiques from there.
This video brogjt back so many happy memories for me, so thank you for aharing!
Awww! I'm so glad! It is such a beautiful part of the world! The Tower of London was absolutely incredible! I've read about all these events in history and then to be in the spot they happened was priceless! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Elise!! Thank you so much for sharing your trip to England with us. I felt like I was there with y’all. The yarn shop was to amazing. I enjoyed getting inspired by the displays there. My absolute favorite was the Beatrix Potter display. My mom read those books to me when I was a kid. She said I was just like Peter Rabbit. Lol I have always been a fan. Thank you, thank you!!💖✨💖
Awww! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! The Beatrix Potter exhibit was an unexpected surprise!! And I always said my younger son was Benjamin Bunny!! 🐰🐰🐰
As a Brit who lives in the Cotswolds (in Oxfordshire) I was thrilled when you said York was your favourite part of England. It’s actually my home city and I’m planning to move back there, and I would certainly agree with your assessment. Glad you enjoyed your trip to our lovely country.
Lucky you!! York was magnificent! Felt like I was in the pages of a book walking through the streets! 🚗🇬🇧❤
@@EliseRoseCrochet Yes, I know what you mean! York is so steeped in history and all the more beautiful for it. If you visit the UK again, you should checkout Bath, I think you would like that too. Ditto where I currently live (Cotswolds) - very old, scenic and several places have been used as film and TV locations. Time to book another trip!
@@josimpson7999 I love York, and North Yorkshire. Would love to live there, but live in Bath.
Fantastic, trip of a lifetime. Wish I was there...
It was such a wonderful trip! ❤️❤️❤️
Spray possible means when it raining their could be spray from other vehicles from the road surface.
That makes a lot more sense than what my initial thoughts were!! 🚗💦
Yes it means the spray from other vehicles on the road.
Wow, just found this video and loved it.
As a Brit whose lived in the states for 26 years , it was interesting listening to your comments about the narrow roads, the gps
Comments because slide right or left are not UK phrases!
This visit home, 3 months ago, I also visited Loop and fell in love with it, sadly my knees aren’t great and the thought of going upstairs defeated me But I wish I had now! It was great to see the Harry Styles cardigan because my 23 year old niece taught herself to knit creating that for herself.
So glad you all enjoyed the trip, loved the mix up over the two “pitches” and was glad your son could see the funny side!
Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video as a Brit living in the US! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Oh my gosh I want to do all these things!! How lovely
Thank you! We had such a fun trip! 🌺
I just saw this! I didn’t know you back then. I wonder if I was working on your flights. I always love watching Americans go to Europe for the first time. ❤️
It was such a wonderful trip!! ✈️🇬🇧🧶
WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL!!! Thank you so much for sharing with us. I WILL get to Europe eventually 😉 cheers! Lisa 🫶🏻☺️🧶
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Waaaa!!! I want to go to Mass there! And I am overjoyed to hear that you are also Catholic!(I have been following you for quite some time, and that was one thing I was aware of. I should of known though, since you had named your channel in honor of St.Therese.
It was such a beautiful church!! ⛪️
When it rains the water on the road will spray on the cars.
Thank you! That makes sense!! 💦
That was an amazing video …and you’re definitely my kind of girl, The highlights of “Westminster Cathedral”, and Beatrix Potter , were wonderful!!!!❤️
Thank you so much!! It was a lovely trip that we will always remember! 🇬🇧
Hi another person from the UK, have u seen the Knitted version of Buckingham Palace? Recently displayed in my local city of Norwich.
Oh my goodness!! I haven't seen it but will look it up! 🇬🇧
One of my places to visit on my bucket list is England!! I LOVED this vlog. The yarn shop reminds me of one that I visit near my hometown.
One question though: what month were you there? I just found your channel - noticed the video is 7 months old, but wasn’t sure if you were there in April, May or June 😊
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the vlog!! We were there at the end of April! We had the best weather! Not sure if we just got lucky or if the weather is always that nice that time of year! 🌤️🇬🇧🚂
Im going to London on Saturday, this vid has shown me a little of what to expect, one place I will be going is St Pauls ( where Diana and Charles got married ) also Highgate cemetery, George Michaels, London Home, Noel Road Islington where the playwrite Joe Orton was Murdered by his boyfriend, and I might take in a Jack the Ripper tour, quite goulish I know but these things fascinate me.
That's awesome!! We almost did the Jack the Ripper tour but we were so exhausted every night!! Enjoy!!! ❤️🚗🇬🇧
Elise, I loved your tour of England places I may not get too, however,
through your video it was spectacular…. The yarn shop was so cozy…
Have a great weekend.
Your husband and son are very handsome.
BTW MY HUSBAND ALSO ENJOYED YOUR TOUR OF ENGLAND..
The yarn shop was spectacular!!! I could have stayed there all day long!!! So many pretty yarns and notions!! 🧶🧶🧶 And I'm so glad you and your husband enjoyed the video!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Elise, just watched your video on your trip to England, I live in West Sussex, if you come over here again try to go to Anne Boleyn’s Hever castle in Kent, it’s not really a castle but a Manor House and it’s my favourite place to visit, I recently found your channel on TH-cam and now watch all your videos. With love from England x
Oh I will put that on the list! We want to come back for sure! There are so many things that we didn't get to do while we were there! Thank you for sharing!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thoroughly enjoyed your video, you did a 1st class job of filming, I wish others would follow your example, I felt like I was there as you walked over the Tower bridge showing perspectives that other videos don’t, thankyou.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
is it just me or is the white horse at Silverstone look very similar to that the same place where Sherlock and Watson are staying at on BBC's adaptation? On the episode about the Hound of the Baskervilles?
Interesting! I don't know!!! I need to look that up!! ❤️❤️❤️
As a 50 year old Northern Irish man I dont know how and why I ended up watching this but I'm happy I did 😂
Awww! That makes me so happy! So glad you enjoyed the video!☘️☘️☘️
@@EliseRoseCrochet I really did and had written my comment before seeing your trip to old Trafford I'm an executive seat holder at United so go to games few hour before 5 course meal all drinks etc my own seat then hour after stay for more drinks and food. Something your son would enjoy a lot I bet.
@@Danedogafternoon That's amazing!! I can imagine the energy is incredible during an actual match!
At 11:43, was that gorgeous blanket knit or crochet?? I crochet and would LOVE to make that for my baby girl due in February!! 😍😍😍
They had so many gorgeous projects in there! 🧶🧶🧶
This is making me miss England. I lived in Bournemouth for a couple of years while I was studying at Bournemouth Uni. My husband proposed on the beach there.
Awww! That's amazing! It was such a wonderful trip for us! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hi Elise, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your wonderful travel video . I am so pleased you had a joyful time in my beautiful country . It’s so easy to forget what an amazing place we live in , but you seem to have experienced a magical selection of places. I live in the lovely county of Shropshire but have also lived in London , East Sussex , Essex and on Dartmoor in Devon . York is also one of my favourite cities along with Bath , Chester and Liverpool. I hope you and your delightful family get a chance to visit us again soon .
Btw, they sell Krispy Kreme donuts all over the uk , lots of the supermarkets have a cabinet of them in there stores. Not sure if it’s still there but there used to be a Krispy Kreme shop/cafe at The Trafford Shopping Centre in Manchester .
Thanks for visiting us and come back soon . You’re always welcome and you’ll never run out of historical places to see. x
Thank you so much!! We had the best time and felt like there was so much to see and do and not enough time! I'm sure you could spend a lifetime there and never see it all!! 🚗❤️🇬🇧
Got hungry watching you eat Krispy Kreme 🤭 Was fun to watch but nothing beats River Colors in Rocky River, Ohio. They’re even listed as a distributor in Rowan! 🎖
Thanks so much for sharing that!! ❤️❤️❤️
A great video. You captured the essence of the places you visited but there’s so much more. We do take our country for granted but I’m trying to look at it with new eyes now I’m older. The buildings are fascinating and the green patchwork fields always amaze me when I fly back from other countries.
I live in Greater Manchester and have been a fan of Man United since I was 9 years old. The stadium is very special. But the confusion with the cricket stadium was funny 😂. It’s super to get another point of view from a tourist of all the lovely places I have also visited throughout my life. You must come again as there is so much more to visit and see. Ours is a beautiful country.
But I enjoy visiting America too 😀 💕🇬🇧🧶✈
Thank you so much!! That's how we felt the entire time we were there.... there are so many things we didn't get to see!! We will definitely be coming back!! 🇬🇧🚗❤️
Hello l throughly enjoyed your video, l am from Melbourne Australia. I went to the British isles in 2008 you brought back so many happy memories for me thank you.
It really is such a beautiful place!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
First time when working for an American company two guys came over and screamed, really screamed when I whipped around a roundabout. Really funny at the time until I went driving around the states and it’s all intersections.
Lol!! I bet they did scream!! 😂 I couldn't get over how many roundabouts there were!! But I imagine our intersections would be just as surprising!!🚗🇬🇧❤️
Oh wow, this took me back so many years. I thoroughly enjoyed your video so much! Thank you for sharing💗💗💗
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! We had such a great trip!! ❤️❤️❤️
Did you know Harry Styles cardigan was designed by a British designer called JW Anderson who was born in Northern Ireland!
I didn't know that!!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤️
Very good video. I think the London Bridge your refaring to was bought and shipped over to America. It said he thought it was the Tower bridge he bought. But i cant see that myself. It is also said that the street lights that still exist on that Bridge was made from metal of enemy weapons. Something sort of dark about that, But interesting.
Very interesting! Yes! The original London Bridge was taken to Lake Havasu, Arizona. My husband was just there for his job and he sent my son and I a video of it!! So crazy!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
You may have noticed the black ceilings in Westminster Cathedral. I was told that these are "works in progress". When they get enough money they will then fill in the next space.
Interesting. And I did notice the black ceilings! Wonder what it will look like when it's finished! ❤️
Elise, I really enjoyed watching your tour of England!! Everything's beautiful. I loved the yarn shop too!! You & your family must've had a lot of fun!!🌞💕
We had the best time! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! 🇬🇧🚗❤️
Thanks for sharing your trip with us! If you ever find out what the sign about spray meant and tha half left turn, I would be very interested! Do you ever follow Hooked by Robin? She's in England but all her crochet patterns use American crochet terms! I know you couldn't wait to get home to Olive and Pickle, and they were VERY happy to see you! 😻😻
The sign about Spray Possible is in case of rain and warning in the event a car or truck in front can have water spray from their tires. Makes so much sense. Also the half left meant something like a slight left turn. It took some getting used to for sure!! And I missed the fur babies like crazy!! I couldn't get home to Jersey, Olive and Pickle quick enough!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@EliseRoseCrochet I understand completely! I couldn't remember Jersey's name for the life of me! When Brat was alive, we never spent a night apart! Recently I went to the hospital for routine testing (turned out fine) and went into arrhythmia. I unexpectedly spent a night in the hospital for observation and had to have someone go feed Daisy Mae. He said she was sitting in the front window looking for me. Tore my heart out!!! Poor little cat! Hope that never happens again - I missed her so much! 😻💕
I absolutely loved watching your trip around England and was so pleased you especially loved York, my home town 💖. Your trip to Manchester made my laugh, but I’m pleased your son got to Old Trafford to the Manchester United ground. I can’t wait to see what you bought at Loop and what you make with it 🤗.
Lucky lady to be from York! What an extraordinary place to live! I've already told my husband I want to go back and spend some real time there exploring everything! And Manchester was something we will never forget and still makes us chuckle! 🇬🇧❤🚗
Spray possible = spray from the road itself if it’s wet. We don’t have skunks in UK.
No idea what a half turn is.
I just can't get over that y'all don't have skunks!!!! 🦨
Hi Elise! Thank you so much for this amazing travel video. Loved it. CAB 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful trip with us! Looks like many memories were made ☺️🌷🧶… Karen from Greenleaf Idaho
Thank you so much, Karen! It was wonderful!! 🧶🧶🧶
For a European, it is such fun to watch an American traveling for the first time in Europe (that's what your reactions show anyway). Fun video!
Thank you!! It's been over 30 years since I traveled to the UK, so it was like it was all new to me!! It was my son's first trip!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
The original London Bridge is in Lake Havasu in Arizona. It was torn down and that was the original nursery rhyme.
Yes! My husband goes there frequently for his job and told me about it! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
As a Brit, spray possible means that surface water doesn't drain away on the motorway, so visibility can be reduced by rain spray, no clue what a half left is?
Haha!! Thanks so much!! Must have been a confused GPS!! 😂😂😂
I just did the same. I traveled from California to Amsterdam Netherlands to go to Stephen and Penelope yarn store.
Haha!!! I'll put that one on my list!!! There's something so wonderful about visiting a yarn shop that's not in your own neck of the woods!! 🧶🧶🧶
Just so you know, a lot of us Brits don't know anything about cricket either ( boring twaddle) 😊
Lol!!!! Now that made me laugh!! 😂🇬🇧😂🇬🇧
Elise thank you for sharing your vacation with us...diffentlly a great video ⚘🍃
Thank you so much! 🚗❤️🇬🇧
That was a nice vid glad you enjoyed your little trip hope your legs have finally recovered from all those steps some great memories that will stay with you a life time the only down side was your poor choice in football club to support haha 👍
Lol!! ⚽️⚽️⚽️ Thank you!! 🚗❤️🇬🇧
If you are ever back in York and open to an Anglican service do go to Evensong at the Minster. The singing was transporting.
That sounds amazing! I would love to go back to York and do that. I can imagine it is magnificent. 🎼
Loved following along!! Such a fun trip…especially the yarn!! 🤗🧶
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Taralah!! We had such a lovely trip and the yarn shop was extraordinary! 🇬🇧❤🚗
Good job! I had no business being her, but I found myself watching the whole video.
Thank you so very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
Hi how on earth can you goto Lulworth Cove and not walk over the hill to Durdle Door although it is a hike, I enjoyed watching this 🍻🙏
Our son has cerebral palsy so hiking can be a bit tricky for him. We tend to stay on easy paths, the rocky beach was a bit of a struggle itself! Would love to go back and explore more.
I can't believe you saw so much in such a short time. it's like a typical American vacation movie - too much to see, too little vacation days.
Exactly!! I came home absolutely exhausted!! That vacation wore me out!! 😂😂😂
Did you know that London Bridge from the nursery rhyme is in Arizona now? So glad you had a nice time.
Yes!!!! My husband literally went to Lake Havasu not long after our trip and sent me a video of the original bridge!! So crazy! 🇬🇧🚗❤️
Thank you so much for this wonderful vlog of your trip to England. I was born and live in England and it was so lovely to see it through you and your family's eyes. What a funny story about the Old Trafford hotel overlooking the cricket ground and not the football ground and it was good to see that you could see the funny side to it. I will have to visit that cute yarn shop one day, it looked amazing.
Haha!!! We learned that there's a difference between the two!! And my son thought it was hilarious!! England is such a beautiful country with a rich history. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! And yes!! Looo London was such a gorgeous shop!! 🧶🇬🇧🧶🇬🇧
Thank you for sharing your travel story, I love England and miss the yarn shops and tea. Have been there several times , so steeped in history and so much to see. The crown jewels are extremely beautiful.
It really is!! Everywhere you look there's something historical or beautiful to look at! The weather could not have been better while we were there either! ❤️
Oh my you went up and down the country! Looked amazing I live the UK and the country roads give me major anxiety so you are not alone!
I'm glad to know it isn't just me!! 😂
You made me homesick ! I’m from London W2 and moved to California in 1981
Awwww. It really is such an incredible city!!!! So much to do and see! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
It's called plain water🤣
😂😂😂 It was fizzy water which shocked me!! Our sparkling water typically comes in a can and still water comes in bottles! 🤣
