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! 💕
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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 😂😂❤️🧶👍
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.
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!
What amazing sights! I can only imagine seeing them in person. You husband is fearless driving the roads. My husband is also Iike that. It's so helpful & makes the world a better place to have a life partner that makes you feel safe! ❤️
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! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
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
A simply beautiful and marvelous video tour! Thanks for sharing your journey through England sights. The yarn shop, the churches, the countryside! Wow!
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! ⚜️⚜️
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!!! 😂🚗🇬🇧❤
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!!🌞💕
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
@@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.
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! 🇬🇧🧶❤️
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!! 🧶🧶🧶
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. 😀
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).
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!!!
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
I suddenly realised that you never see the beauty of things when you see them every day - it was lovely seeing the UK through your eyes, it made me want to take a staycation! Lots of love from Edinburgh
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.
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.
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. 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!
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.
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♥️🌹
Thank you for sharing your trip with us, I very much enjoyed it. I'm from Germany and married a Canadian military man and have been living in Canada for many years now. I will always miss the historic European architecture and sites. We have visited your beautiful state of North Carolina a few years ago and brought our motorcycles. Our rides through the Smokey Mountains was amazing and reminded me of our rides through the mountains in Germany. The people in North Carolina were so lovely and hospitable and we are looking forward to coming back one day.
The architecture was one of my favorite things about England!! Everywhere we looked there was something extraordinary to look at!! And thank you for your kind words about NC! It really is a beautiful state!! Sounds like it was an incredible trip!! 🏍🏍🏍
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!
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. 💜
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 💜💜
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! ❤🇬🇧🚗
Thank you for showing us your trip over to England from the USA. So knowledgeable and very amusing. Old Trafford has got to be the best. Perfect video! 🇬🇧🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸
I’m a born and bred Londoner / u certainly packed a lot into your short trip / you’ve already seen more of the UK than me! Gold medal for your husband driving straight off to Silverstone after a long flight. Not a short trip and when you’re tired and in a foreign country it’s even more challenging! Hope you guys return soon.
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 😁
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.
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 🙂
As British citizen it was fabulous to see how someone from America viewed us and some of your thoughts were hilarious. Looks like you had some really good weather too. My son married a Chicago gal and they live in Texas. I remember my first trip over to the states 17 years ago when they lived in Peoria and felt like I was in the movies. I hope you all got back home safely. 🌺
Thank you so much! I felt like I was in a movie the whole time we were in England!! It's such a beautiful place with so many things to see and do!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
I had the reverse experience. When I was driving around the beautiful Kent countryside with my cousin I said, “You do know you live in a movie set” . She laughed but I helped her to appreciate her own area.
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!
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 was soooo cool. I can not Express my feelings of seeing all of England you you have seen. Thank you for sharing with us. The flowers where beautiful.
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! ❤️
I liked the fact that you went and gave thanks for your trip and prayed for your family and friends at Westminster Cathedral. We do so often take things for granted.
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!
@@EliseRoseCrochet lol. A great family story. My friend tried to climb the highest mountain in England last week.. Walking up he thought to himself 'mmmm... Why is that mountain over there so big?' hahaha.. Got the wrong mountain. 🤣🤣 Come back soon.. Good bless America
Ixve been catching up on your videos. I enjoyed so much watching this scrapbook video of your great trip to England, how nice and exciting. You are a fabulous tour guide!
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 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. ❤️
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?

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?
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!!
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! 🧶🇬🇧🗺️
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.

It really is a magical place!! ❤️❤️❤️
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
excellent Vlog , you will have marvelous memories forever.
Thank you so much! 🇬🇧🚗❤️
im glad you and your family enjoyed your visit
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
I suddenly realised that you never see the beauty of things when you see them every day - it was lovely seeing the UK through your eyes, it made me want to take a staycation! Lots of love from Edinburgh
Awww! That makes me so happy! And you live in such a beautiful part of the world!! ❤️❤️❤️
Glad you saw some of our beautiful English countryside on your travels It never ceases to amaze me
England is such a gorgeous country! Can't wait to come back someday! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
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! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
What a treat!
You took me to my favorite places England and a yarn shop!
I can’t thank you enough
♥️✨
I'm so very glad you enjoyed it! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
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!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
Love it! Thanks for sharing! 🥰
You're so welcome!! So glad you liked it! ❤️🇬🇧🚗
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. 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!
Thanks for sharing your lovely trip 🥰
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🚗❤️🇬🇧
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!! 🧶🧶🧶
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! 🇬🇧❤🌊
Thank you for sharing your trip with us, I very much enjoyed it.
I'm from Germany and married a Canadian military man and have been living in Canada for many years now. I will always miss the historic European architecture and sites.
We have visited your beautiful state of North Carolina a few years ago and brought our motorcycles. Our rides through the Smokey Mountains was amazing and reminded me of our rides through the mountains in Germany. The people in North Carolina were so lovely and hospitable and we are looking forward to coming back one day.
The architecture was one of my favorite things about England!! Everywhere we looked there was something extraordinary to look at!! And thank you for your kind words about NC! It really is a beautiful state!! Sounds like it was an incredible trip!! 🏍🏍🏍
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.
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! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
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!!! 🐰🐰🐰
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!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
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! ❤🇬🇧🚗
Thank you for showing us your trip over to England from the USA. So knowledgeable and very amusing. Old Trafford has got to be the best. Perfect video! 🇬🇧🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸
Thank you!! And my son still laughs about our misadventure with Old Trafford! 😂
Unless you support Leeds!!
I’m a born and bred Londoner / u certainly packed a lot into your short trip / you’ve already seen more of the UK than me! Gold medal for your husband driving straight off to Silverstone after a long flight. Not a short trip and when you’re tired and in a foreign country it’s even more challenging! Hope you guys return soon.
Thank you!! Can't wait to come back! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
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!! 🚗🇬🇧❤
I wish more vloggers would put as much effort in to their scripts as you did here. Lovely scrapbook. Thank you.
Awww, thank you so much! 🚗❤️🇬🇧
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! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Fascinating, interesting and beautiful!!! Thank you so much for taking us along!!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
This was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your trip with us!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 🇬🇧❤️🧶
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!! 🇬🇧❤️🚗
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
As British citizen it was fabulous to see how someone from America viewed us and some of your thoughts were hilarious. Looks like you had some really good weather too. My son married a Chicago gal and they live in Texas. I remember my first trip over to the states 17 years ago when they lived in Peoria and felt like I was in the movies. I hope you all got back home safely. 🌺
Thank you so much! I felt like I was in a movie the whole time we were in England!! It's such a beautiful place with so many things to see and do!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
I had the reverse experience. When I was driving around the beautiful Kent countryside with my cousin I said, “You do know you live in a movie set” . She laughed but I helped her to appreciate her own area.
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!! 🇬🇧
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!!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
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!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
I enjoyed this video so much!!!
Thank you so much!! 🧶🧶🧶
That was soooo cool. I can not Express my feelings of seeing all of England you you have seen. Thank you for sharing with us. The flowers where beautiful.
I'm

TU for sharing ur wonderful Adventure
You're so welcome! ❤🇬🇧🚗
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! ❤️
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! 🇬🇧❤🚗

Thanks so much for your beautiful account of your trip to England. Brought back a lot of memories from my travels there.
I'm so very glad you enjoyed it!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
I liked the fact that you went and gave thanks for your trip and prayed for your family and friends at Westminster Cathedral. We do so often take things for granted.
The past two years have taught me so much about giving thanks and appreciating the simple things in life. I pray I never forget those lessons. 💗
You did a beautiful video. It was lovely to watch. Thank.you so much. The yarn shop was also beautiful. 😊😊😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
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! 🧶🧶🧶
That was a wonderful experience for you. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for Sharing.
I'm so glad!! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
Old Trafford story…brilliant!!
Haha!! My son still laughs about that every single day!!! 🇬🇧🚗❤️
@@EliseRoseCrochet lol. A great family story. My friend tried to climb the highest mountain in England last week.. Walking up he thought to himself 'mmmm... Why is that mountain over there so big?' hahaha.. Got the wrong mountain. 🤣🤣
Come back soon.. Good bless America
Ixve been catching up on your videos. I enjoyed so much watching this scrapbook video of your great trip to England, how nice and exciting. You are a fabulous tour guide!
Thank you so much, Aida! I'm so glad you liked the video! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
Terrific video! Thanks for taking the time to share the trip with us!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🚗❤️🇬🇧
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! 🚗🇬🇧❤
It was so much fun to travel along with you! What a great trip.
Thank you so much! 🧶🧶🧶
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!! 🧶🧶🧶
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! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Very well written and well filmed. So glad you enjoyed your trip to England.
Thank you so very much! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
These pictures are beautiful!! Enjoyed it very much!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🚗🇬🇧❤️
How wonderful thank you for sharing. I just discovered loops for myself online a few days ago, too cute. Have a good weekend everyone.
Such a gorgeous yarn shop!!! 🧶🧶🧶
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!! ✈️🇬🇧🧶
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?
