I take this route to the store every day, and of course i never notice any of the things in this video.
It’s great to stop and try to see ordinary things through fresh eyes.
I’d love to see *your* trip to get milk, coffee, whatever… see what I and others would find strange about what you take for granted. Are you game, my friends?

That letterbox… looks like a monument to some long gone, almost forgotten times.
John’s Texas Chicken? Not very British, aye mate? 🙂
I find lots of things in England are like a monument to some long gone, forgotten times… like the class system! I know how you feel about going away though, Rupert. I lived in Japan and Italy in my early twenties and when I came back, everything was strange and unusual. Have a great time at Pixelodeon. Represent the British vloggers, of whom there seem to be, sadly, too few. Let me know if they are playing the promos there. Mine was a badly edited one with a foal trying to stand up.
Two comments on one post, blimey! Just wanted to add that when you get back from Pixelodeon, we should start to talk about a UK Node 101. Let’s get this party started. Email me at beth_tilston@yahoo.co.uk.
they’re also adding cameras to crossings and if you enter a yellow box without an exit, they’ll sutomatically (!) fine you sixty quid!
you just made me all nostalgic for england.
I’ve been to England several times and consider myself a fairly well traveled person … but somehow whenever I see street shots from England I still find myself looking for Dr. Who style police boxes … and maybe even a Dalek or two.
ha! i loved this.
perfect “moments showing.”
you’re noticing things i would notice as an American – the roadster, the mailbox, the fish & chips – and say “oh how very British!” but we usually become blind to all that, seeing it everyday.
fresh eyes.
