  • We're off to Trago Mills in Merthyr today - in fact, we going to have some lunch there in the restaurant before heading into the store for lots of browsing. I end up doing lots of Christmas shopping!!

    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), folk musician lifestyle, and to see what life is like for this little family in our corner of South Wales in the UK.

      Ha ha ha! I need to remember to stop filming with the sun ahead as it makes the footage really hard to sort out afterwards. But I can’t tell where the sun is often, when it’s cloudy. The camera knows though and plays up accordingly.

    Some years ago I was in a huge place like that store and spied a little mouse scurrying around. I wonder if they had come from the food section? Today was Thanksgiving day. I had to stay home due to a ten-day ailment after being to the doctor twice. I like seeing all the Christmas items. We had a one-day freak freeze. High was 32F and low by morning 17F. Rest of the week is warmer than normal.

    Trago Mills is an American-sized shopping center like I don't normally see in the UK. It is over 23,000 square meters in size. I would be right at home there. It would be like being in the American stores, Sam's Club or Costco. Never considered the Brits to be conspicuous consumers like we are. You guys tend to be more restrained and frugal. Today is Thanksgiving for us, a day to be grateful.

    Goodness, that was a lot of traffic circles in Merthyr. We have a few in town, and I avoid them like the plague. There's always someone either going the wrong way, changing lanes without signaling or entering into the circle and hitting someone. I tell you, it's chaos. hahaha. We've only had them for the past 5 years or so, and people just don't know how to use them. In fact, the city had a "training" night to show people how to use a traffic circle properly.. hahaha.

    • @PlanetImo
      @PlanetImo  2 роки тому

      We call traffic circles ‘roundabouts’. There’s a fabulous word in Welsh too but it’s a whopper and I don’t imagine you’d know where to start with pronouncing it - Chwyrligwgan. It sound a bit like ‘kwerly-goo-gan’ except with a noise at the start more like the G in Gouda (cheese).
