You have a beautiful singing voice❤❤
Aww thanks, that tells me you watched the vlog until the end! xx
Lovely to see you again! I did notice you hadn't posted any videos in a while, but I just figured you were busy with property stuff and wedding planning. Thank you for singing for us too! I 💗 your voice!
Thanks so much Kelly! Yeah it’s definitely a bit of juggling everything. Really appreciate you watching 💗💗
Missed you. So glad you are back. Can’t wait to see the rest of your NY vlog and really anxious to hear about your wedding plans!😊
Hey Therese! Thanks so much for the support
Can’t wait to share!! It’s a dry hire wedding so I’ve got a million different suppliers for everything. Lots to update you on! X
So good to see you and can’t wait to see more footage from the trip! Loved the song at the end. Definitely NOT cringe! 💜
I loved every minute of this video, especially the singing at the end. You have a beautiful voice.
That feeling you had when you booked your trip to New York was exactly how I felt when I booked my solo trip to London. I still can't believe I did it!
Hope you're well Lia!
Oh wow! So excited for you!!
Hi Lia! ❤Lovely voice and it’s great to see you back! 😊
So good to see you and I loved the song. You're the best, Lia!
Yayyy! Glad you had a great time! Can’t wait to hear more about the trip - Sounds like such a great experience. I hope that NY at Christmas was decorated beautifully!
So good to see you again. Looking forward to Episode 2!!
Good to see you Lia, and I can't wait to see how this journey went for you. Thanks for taking us along.
It’s soooo good to see you again. I’m very happy to see you’re doing well and for your NYC series. Make sure to always take care of yourself ❤️ xoxox from Texas!
Thank you! Will do! Take care of yourself too D x
This was so amazing Lia. I live in NYC and watching this made me feel so many different emotions. And everything about the video was so real. So New York. Looking forward to seeing more of your trip to my home town. ❤
So nice to see you again. I'm looking forward to part 2.
Great vlog, wonderful Lia!!! I'm glad you avoided the taxi scam!
So good to see you on your own channel again. What an adventure in NYC!
So glad to see you back posting again, life sounds like it’s been pretty busy for you especially with all the wedding planning going on. 🎊❇️ That alleyway definitely seemed pretty sketchy, but I am so happy everything worked out. ☺️ Thanks for singing for us too, you have such a beautiful singing voice!!! 💓🎶🎸❤️
No shame in taking a break from vlogging, you have a lot going on in your life! Love your voice! Thank you for the vlog, and, see you next time Lia 💖
So great to know that you are back home nice and comfy and safe. That alley that you had to walk down was scary 😨! Glad that you were able to do the workshop with your friend. Always love your singing, sweet lady. Please say hi to Ach. This is going to be the proverbial "year to remember". You deserve all of the happiness coming your way! 🫂❤️🙏🌎🕊

So so glad to hear from you again on here. Can't wait for your big news. And looking forward to all the new uploads. Love these vlogs, especially since you're somewhere I won't get to go and doing business class, such is out of my range. Your voice is perfect, more please.
Thank you so much Oriel xx
Great video and the song at the end sounded real pretty.
It’s good to hear from you! Your nails look beautiful & I enjoyed the song very much. ☺️
Thank you Peggy 🤗
No need to apologize, you are a very busy woman with your other channel and planning a wedding. Enjoy NYC and please stay safe. Lot's of love!
Loved the song, Beautiful voice!
I'm glad to see you doing something so brave and exciting..I just know you'll do well, and I am honestly looking forward to this adventure with you. And, FYI, that song choice at the end was beautifully done. You're truly charming, as always. ✌️😊
Thank you so much!!
Glad to see you back
Lea, your voice is so beautiful! ❤
Loved it and ready to see more
Thanks Donnie!
Good for you Lea, live your life babe. Your voice is stunning and I'll bet you're awesome at improv too. Memories and experience make for a life well lived and doing things alone give you fortitude. I love you and Joel on your own and you' re amazing together. Been a fan for years and will continue to be. ❤
Sending you love Mister Beard. You’re amazing xx I appreciate your support
Lia! Why aren’t we hearing you sing more? That was beautiful! 🥰 Also, I took a somewhat similar trip to London from the US recently. Enjoyed seeing a fellow female solo travel on a growth journey.
Welcome to the Big Apple !! I hope you brought your long knickers. hehehe. If you get a chance, check out these 2 vloggers on YT. The first is Action Kid. We just call him AK. He does walk arounds in NYC and you can learn a lot about where things are. Then there is Here Be Barr. His name is Jon & he will tell you the best & worst places to eat, where to go & not go & how to keep safe. These guys are both very approachable & knowledgeable. Not sure how much free time you will have, but enjoy all the same. xx
I have Missed you girl......Your like family been around since Joel and Lia started so what 6 years Hope your happy and well and have a fantstic 2023 can you belive its already Feburay
Wow such a nice comment, yeah nearly 10 years since J&L was born on UA-cam! I also can’t believe it’s Feb 2023!!! Xx sending love 💗 hope you’re well
Wauw your singing voice Beautiful 😍 . Lia
Hello i' watching from Paris because I want to learn to speak British ...it's getting easier and easier thank you ...I also love your voice, you sing very well 🥰
Good to see you again, Lia!! 💖You're very brave to go to NYC alone, OMG!! I'm glad you were safe. Can't wait to see part 2. Perfect song for the outro with your beautiful voice. 😊
❤just beautiful Lia! Tu voz suena suave y dulce 😊 greetings from Austin Texas
Lia, love how you sing that song. You got me in my New York feels. My surprise when Freeman’s Alley popped up. My good girlfriend and I have a special relationship w it. Can’t wait to see more footage of your adventure. The Village is my absolute fave place on the planet. So happy you’re there and for comedy! Yay! I’m def a fan of your comedy and acting and I hope you had a wonderful experience at your workshop. Staying in the Bowery and a workshop in the Village - so New York of you! Love it. ✨
Aww wow thanks Erin, yep!! that was exactly that, plus coffee shops on Ludlow and chilling on the lower east side. Felt so trendy, and SO New York! xx
Good to see you and happy that you were in my home town. I wish I had known, I could have shown you around, or at least invited you to a little crystal shop I own. I enjoy your videos.
Wow that would have been so cool! Next time for sure
@@liahatz You bet. That would be wonderful. We have a beautiful shop. It is small but perfectly arranged. If I let to England soon, I will let you know. I am over 80 so I hope you can be back soon. ❤
LOVE you, Lia!
LOVE YOU MORE!
Another amazing journey.
A vlog and a song!! 🙌🏽❤️
Aww thanks Stina 😊😊
You have a beautiful singing voice!
First of all, you are very brave to go down that alley to your Airbnb, seemed a bit sketchy. The drivers approaching you in the airport is also unfortunate. Hard to believe the city doesn't regulate that situation. Loved hearing you sing, just beautiful. ❤
I haven't flown across the atlantic yet but if I did, I would do it business or 1st!! Can't imagine sitting in a cramped economy seat for 16 hours.... (coming from California, I must cross North America and then the Atlantic!)...even as a submariner economy seems uncomfortable for that length of flight 🙂 hope to see more Lia and/or Joel and Lia vids soon 🙂
I love that blanket jumper
I tried to link it up in the shopping tab hopefully it worked! X
@@liahatz my mom would have loved that blanket jumper except she would have wanted it to go to her feet 😄 she would be completely dressed and have her thick house coat/dressing gown on in the summer because the air conditioning was on
Thanks for your video 😊
My pleasure 😊
I have a jumper like that, too. Only mine is black and the material is thicker to be worn outside. Yours looks lighter, like a jumper for just indoors. I need to find me one of those!
Have missed u, this is great, nice voice…..
Liked this video. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it Joan! X
For MONTHS I've been trying to remember that movie with Emma Thompson. Good luck to you.. Thank you so much. I saw the trailer well over a year ago and then never saw anything about it. I knew it probably came out and went but i was interested. But couldn't for the life of me remember the name and couldn't remember the female lead. So searching Helen Mirin got me nowhere lol. Now I know! As soon as you said Emma Thompson a lightbulb went off that that might be film and searching for the trailer...Boom! It's EXACTLY the movie. Gracias.
I love it when that happens and you suddenly remember it!! Wahooo
The 1st time I went to New York. I met a guy with a private car service whose passengers planr was delayed. The price was a little more than the yellow cab. He gave me his card and I used him multiple times on that trip and on many trips since then.
💖💖
cool
Lia... I guess this will come across as sexist but oh my gosh. By yourself? New York City! Where you went to get your room? In the evening or night time? Wow. Knowing that you're home now obviously everything was okay but I got worried just watching the video. You're a strong woman. And this sounds like an exciting trip for you. Can't wait to see the next videos. And hopefully at some point we'll see on UA-cam you doing some comedy or improv stuff? Big hugs.
Thanks!
Thanks SO much!! x
@@liahatz YW :-)
❤
Nice voice! Not cringe!
So is Joel no more?? I know he moved away
Hey Tim! There’s a new video every week on the J&L channel + we are running our first group trip with our subscribers later this year! Lots happening.
I am working full time on my property business and also planning my wedding so it’s just a balancing act at the moment🙏 hope that makes sense!
Tim, if you're a member on Joel's channel he posted a Members Only video explaining things today. Short version: different format moving forward but still 100% commited to J&L / TTB 😁
I was scammed $793 by airport taxi scams the first day I arrived at nyc as a student! It was so horrible, I felt dumb, and I need to forgive myself and move kn
You went to New York City by yourself. That's crazy
Champagne or orange juice? Get a mimosa! (Which is both)....
I hope that the taxi driver was not too pushy about you being his gateway to breaking into the UK. I hope that is not the reason you were a bit emotional. It is said that we NY'ers can be "pushy". Imagine that !?!? And yeah, I have to agree with what a few of the others have said about being careful. You are a smart lady tho' so I don't worry about you too much. ;-) **Wow the song and your voice !!
That alley way looked very sketch 😳 I can’t fault that guy for plugging his music, he has a beautiful voice!
He was fabulous!! Really enjoyed meeting him! X
Did you have any hassle from immigration this trip?
Nope they asked why I was entering and I said I was doing a 4 day workshop at a theatre school and also being a tourist! Luckily no issues 🙏
Your singing is not cringe
Best compliment ever lol
Stick with Rosie Malloy - it gets better!
Ok I might give it another shot! I do really like her but wasn't feeling ep 1. xx
You should have said something so people could help to get you business on the way back too.
It’s ok! Luckily I fell asleep on the way home (in coach, got a window seat on a night flight) and it all worked out ok!!xx 😘
we missed you Lia, why were your crying in this video?
I thought you quit now that you have a husband to support you.
Hooray! your back! As, I have said before, your voice is beautiful. What would it take for you to make an album? Can you use well known songs? Or do you have to pay an arm and a leg for them?
Hi Catherine! I’d love that 🙏 so much!!
Also I do remember you were asking about a PO Box address in previous comments, that’s now open and has been since the start of Feb - address is in description x
So, just one question, are you and Joel history??
Historic legends but reborn, check out our channel!
