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.

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.

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

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 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.

@@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.

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?

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!

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!!💖✨💖

Oh, Elise, you really made me smile! At the beginning with your bottle of fizzy water, I jumped and shouted:”she’s drinking Harrogate water”! Then I found out you went to York, about 20 miles from Harrogate where I live! You’ve covered an awful lot of miles during your short visit but it’s been lovely to see what you discovered and picked along the way!

Hi there....have just watched your lovely video, and almost fell off my chair! What a small world - I watch all of your crochet and knitting videos, I live in the UK, and my local pub is St Peters Finger!
