An ICY WALK along the canal and a GARGANTUAN ICELAND SHOPPING DELIVERY at my boyfriend's house. DAILY VLOG
This is the second half of our Saturday at my boyfriend's house. For the video of the house tour click here: • HOUSE TOUR: My BOYFRIE...
It is cold, cold, cold here in South Wales this Saturday, 13th February 2021. IB (Invisible Boyfriend) has a MASSIVE ICELAND food delivery coming later this afternoon, but beforehand, we head out for an icy walk along the canal. To our amazement, the canal has frozen over and been snowed on, so it was quite a sight to behold.
Once the ICELAND shopping delivery arrives, chaos breaks out as IB realises he has ordered a lot more frozen food than he realised. Will he be able to fit it all in his freezer?!

I'm Imo and she's Izzy. We're a UK mother and daughter vlogging combo that loves to get out and about and exploring South Wales and beyond.
We're a formerly homeschooling/home-educating family of two based in the UK dealing with the daily challenges of managing Izzy's severe, chronic eczema and her education. Our resourcefulness is tested on a daily basis, but we'd love to share our little triumphs and discoveries with you as we go along.
Imo is a flautist/flutist (flute player), and these vlogs will often take you behind the scenes of the life of a professional folk musician. Stand by for bits and bobs of live folk music and dance as they pop up in our day-to-day lives.
These videos will not generally feature recorded background music, making them extra suitable for people who aren't keen on pop music!
Follow this channel for occasional tips on caring for eczema, content relating to the flute, travel (particularly to Lisbon, Portugal), homeschooling and homeschool mom stuff, folk musician lifestyle, and to see what life is like for this little family in our corner of South Wales in the UK.

    Good morning.. :) Looks like a nice place to go for a walk, but it makes me feel cold.. haha. As kids we used to skate and play around on our frozen sloughs, but now a days we don't see that happening, as the cold weather we used to have back in the late 60's isn't as cold or long as it used to be. The ice just doesn't get thick enough anymore. I just quickly googled the London Ice Fairs. It was interesting to read about how London moved onto the ice, and about the tragedy that happened one year where several of the tents/businesses and people were swallowed up when a large piece of ice broke. So sad. Awwww.. a fairy door in the middle of nowhere. It needs a little Welsh gnome standing by the door. Wow,,, that was a large grocery order. Hope you packed enough unders for another few weeks stay.. ha. Thanks for sharing.. have a lovely wine and chocolate evening ... see you next time. 💟🥰

    I love the term you gave it 'micro hail'. Sleet, freezing pellets of rain/snow. Good thing you didn't get on the ice, it hasn't been cold enough to make it a few inches thick. The climate sure is different now there. Glad you don't have winters like in the past but it is very interesting history.

    I'd be too worried about getting trapped under a thick sheet of ice under water. It sounds horrific! I saw a clip of skaters going through broken ice in the Netherlands today. Eeek! I think they all got out OK though, but I bet they had a nasty and very cold shock. Thanks, Karen.

    @@PlanetImo Years ago my husband walked out on unsafe ice at a deep lake around here, and jumped up and down near the shore. I about had a heart attack. Nothing happened, it held but a crazy thing to do. And then in summer there was the time he put his rowboat in and forgot to put the drain plug back in and sunk near shore. And once he lost his balance in the boat and was laying backwards over the side with his arms trailing water while I was on the shore. He righted himself, he was amazingly funny! At least I have memories!

    I'd love to add nice things to that fairy door. Comedy bagpipes. That's so fun! It's interesting how he does not like that countertop color due to 'can't see it' problems but it is like the one I put in new at the farmouse, that I liked, just had to look sideways at it to see 'stuff amiss'. Alas I had to move back here with 1970s fake wood Formica. Which I like as well. Fun video I enjoy hearing the banter since it is so quiet here. Mail delivery is all slowed down here, takes a month for a letter to go across town as they send it 80 miles north to come back down but lately a month for every bill or letter I've sent. The new normal.
