You guys did so well packing so much in. Mom is clearly very skilled at travel planning - I think you must be a fantastic travel agent. Millie and Oliver are such charming, great kids and you cleverly combined fun with educational experiences. I remember doing the same with our kids when they were young. I think your two adorable children will remember this trip for a very long time and hopefully you will all want to visit us again sometime! I look forward to following your wonderful channel.
A very interesting and informative video. You have a lovely family. Spread the word, UK food is usually good. That old 'my foot hurts' ruse never gets old.
A little nugget of information for you. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Pub is actually called The Olde Cheshire Cheese Pub. English used to have a letter called 'Thorn' which like the Greek Theta represents 'TH' but was written as our modern letter Y as well as a number of other characters. When printing was introduced in the late 15th and early 16th century, they modified the alphabet to focus on Latin letters, removing the anglo-saxon/norse characters still in use and substituted TH in place of the letter Thorn specifically.
Great vlog (again), I find it so interesting watching the vistors perspective on a City I know pretty well. Fun fact, some of us "locals" know the buildings in the "Square Mile" (City of London) by nicknames. The tower that houses the "Sky Garden" at the top is the "Walkie-Talkie" (because it kind of looks like one) and nearby are the "Cheese Grater" (122 Leadenhall St) and the "Gherkin" (30 St Mary Axe) - when it opened about 20 years ago it was about the tallest, but has now been swamped by others, the latest and tallest being "Horizon 22" (which is actually 22 Bishopsgate, and also has a free viewing area) which towers above the Sky Garden. Apologies if none of that was new info for you!
Well, I wish you were our tour guide when we were in London. *When* we return, I will need to pick your brain! We will be reaching out to our UK subscribers for help.
@@palmsandpalaces Not to mention the 'Wobbly Bridge' (the modern footbridge going across the river towards St Pauls). Every Brit still calls it that as shortly after it opened, a design fault meant that the bridge swayed alarmingly when a large number of people were on it. The fault was quickly fixed, but Brits being Brits - it was for ever more the 'Wobbly Bridge'.
Fantastic 3 part video, Ashley. Your videos are informative, interesting & honest ! Love Borough Market, & you crammed a lot in one last day, glad you enjoyed your visit, look forward to your next vlog 👍
Excellent series. Really well shot and edited, informative. Your kids are a credit to you both. You should have a lot more subscribers! P.S. my office is in the Sky Garden building so I know it well (and Leadenhall Market) :) I live in Brighton and it's a great place to visit if you get the chance 👍
Brighton is on our list! Next time... because there WILL be a next time. 😉 Thank you very, very much for the kind words and encouragement. And I agree - the kids are the stars of the show!!
OMG I thought prices were steep ££££ for that tea at first sight, NO !!! what an experience worth it totally looks fabulous and the kids loved it... as a special treat yes (wish I was rich I would be there every day! I am not so boooo prob never will go)
@@palmsandpalaces It is not a stupid question, most Brits do not know. When typeset was imported from the continent into England when printing first started, there was no letter for Thorn "þ" (now we use "th"), so they substituted a "y". So it should be pronounced as The, But even Brits today say Ye. It is totally anachronistic.
That is Tower Bridge this is London Bridge what a very smart young little lady if only the vast majority of adults realised the difference between the two
Parents now get a Fine for taking Children out of School. But the Price goes up Ridiculous in the the School holidays. So its cheaper to take the kids out of School and holiday abroard
We genuinely love England. The metropolis that is London showed us silly tourist stuff and so many off the beaten path treasures. No MCD or BK for us thank you very much!! Thanks for watching!!
