You should have gone to a doctors you may not be ill up you needed something to treat your congestion etc.

You keep talking What I like to see how you doing with your stuff 😂

I'm so glad you brought up the cost of a storage unit as opposed to the value of the items that you put in the unit. Most people don't weigh one against the other to determine whether or not it is really worth it. Such a valuable point!

Hi Debbie, thanks for the video and so happy that you enjoyed the UK and the small part it plays in your new life. Good luck in the future. It’s Wiz-Ley BTW and, you are right, it is amazing.

Thank You for this video.... and "might be changing"? lol

Same here!

You’re right! Everyone’s journey is different and we have to make decisions that are right for us. I’m still early in my journey and haven’t made a lot of these decisions yet. I’m so happy for you! ❤️

Theatreland in London is bigger than Broadway ❤

My advice to tourists is that if you want to visit England, don't go to London

Sometimes when people have to clear out a home they start to see dollar signs on everything. The reality is that in many homes the bulk of the items are functional and don't necessarily have a lot of value.

Sounds like you had a bit of hay fever glad you enjoyed your visit you must tried and visit Gloucestershire well worth it

Navigating life after the loss of a spouse is a profoundly personal journey. There's no right or wrong way to grieve, and the decisions you make should be what feels best for you. I am always here to support you by answering any questions you may have, no matter how big or small. Just pop them in the comments and I will personally respond. My thoughts are with you x

I hoped you liked our tipping culture too … none obligatory and 10% is enough it you feel obliged to make a contribution … and in the pub there is no need to tip for every drink you order at the bar … Nobody gets upset if you don’t leave a tip as they are getting paid for doing their job.

Your name is Debbie Morton so basically you were going back to the motherland.

I hope you managed to chat with people. We can seem very off and inward initially, but you can actually have a decent chat with anyone

I would recommend The North East Coast of Northumberland, lots of Castles, a Honey Farm, Lindisfarne Island, a short skip to Edinburgh by train, also good to stop on route from London at York, Durham and Newcastle. You will not be disappointed! I could add a whole bunch of other parts and towns to visit in England, Scotland or Wales, all stunningly beautiful and very scenic.

Thank you for sharing your trip, its great that you enjoyed your time on our little island, unfortunate that you were unwell and hope you're fully recovered now. It takes a lot of courage and confidence to make such a big leap and I wish you nothing but joy in your future travels - and hope you get to see more of England and the rest of the UK in future.

Wiz ly

Next stop over the canal to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 😊

Note for anyone thinking about visiting the UK...we do have modern hotels with elevators!

You were not immune to our pollen. Maybe source some English Honey a month prior if you plan to return. That should help.

Many women are assaulted in London. Were you ever threatened or groped?

Sounds like you had a great time. If I went to England I would also have to see the ABBA abbatar show in London. It's an incredible show . The group got back together after 40 years and made a new album called Voyage and built a special arena to have abbatar concerts. They look so real!!

Whizz-ly actually

PS. The facility in the Shard is NOT a bathroom. It's a toilet, or a loo. We don't have public bathrooms in the UK - the last ones closed in the late 1950s/early 1960s, I should think - we have public _toilets._

You should've gone to any pharmacy, and asked to speak to the pharmacist for advice about your allergy/runny nose/whatever it was. If you're not 'ill', but have an annoying 'issue', pharmacists in the UK (and in most of Europe) can offer a LOT of help. They do continual training and are a 'one stop shop' for advice and practical help for all sorts of health matters (apt to be different things in different countries) - and will have no hesitation in directing you to further help if needed. You wouldn't be eligible for some of their services such as free vaccines here in the UK, but they would certainly be happy to offer advice, and sell you a suitable medication if appropriate - which will cost you MUCH less than in the US. Wisley gardens (WIZZLEE) are the hq of the Royal Horticultural Society. If you like gardens, you could become a member before your next visit to the UK, and plan your trip around the RHS gardens and its partner gardens. I'm a member and I LOVE going to the various gardens all over the country. The RHS gardens are free to enter if you're a member, and you also get free or reduced entry at many other notable gardens. RHS gardens are all in England - Wisley (Surrey), Hyde Hall (Esssx), Rosemoor (Devon), Bridgewater (Manchester) and Harlow Carr (Harrogate North Yorkshire). They all have good cafes, too! Their partner gardens are all over the UK, and entry is free or at reduced rates for RHS members. I hope you come again, and visit the REAL England (as well as, if possible, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), not just the tourist traps (although I do give you a lot of credit for following the advice given to you in Bath about visiting Avebury!). Perhaps decide what you most want to see and do - castles, stately homes, prehistory, theatre, gardens, inland waterways, etc etc - and plan your next visit around one or two of those themes. There are all sorts of memberships which are well worth the cost for visiting places, once you've used the membership a few times, it's paid for itself. Look at National Trust, English Heritage, Historic England, Royal Horticultural Society, and others. Most municipal museums and art galleries are free - but special exhibitions are charged for. You can usually get information about local places of interest from libraries, if you're not in a place with a Visitor Information Centre. FWIW, I've always travelled alone, even when my partner was alive. I started at 18, when I hitchhiked round Europe in the 1960s. I've lived and worked in more than a dozen countries on four continents, and travelled widely in many more. I'm now approaching 80 and still travelling, although not as nimble as I once was of course! I gave up driving a few years ago but that doesn't hinder me much, if at all, in Europe and Asia. Travel light is the best advice. You can always buy stuff if you didn't pack it, but later need it. I have some travel-size packs of local-brand toiletries bought in various far-away places, and I keep them out on my bathroom shelves as souvenirs which are (or were) functional! I sniff one, and it reminds me of Thailand, another takes me back to New Caledonia - and my toothpaste is Greek!

Hay fever, allergy to plant pollen. Get anti histamine medication from pharmacy.

Hay fever!

Hay fever?

Thank you for showing us the bathroom and that view (😮) from the top of the Shard. Although I’m British and can visit London when I want, I’m terrified of heights, so I would never have seen this, or even known about it. I give public bathrooms marks out of ten, and this one would get an extra couple just for that window 😂

Wisly is pronounced Wizzly (with a short i sound) not Wiseley. It took me a moment or two to realise what place you were talking about.

sorry that you did not sort your hay fever out,(English name for summer allergys) the pharmacies perhaps could have helped

Well gone Debbie. Glad to see you had a good time. some of us have been around the world as single travellers. You did well to get here and find your way about. In 1998 my employer sent me and a few colleagues to Italy to work, I’m a Telecomms technician. We had a plane ticket to Rome and instructions with just the address of the building to report to. I was lucky we were four. After a week of training I was given a rail ticket and the address I was to report too, a Telephone Exchange in Florence. Got to Florence found my hotel and with a taxi found where I was to work, half way along a very tourist street with the Duomo (cathedral) at one end and the Uffizi Gallery the other. You soon get to find your way around. Good video. When you come back try and visit the other 3 UK countries. I live in Wales where we are about the size of New Jersey but have 600 castles and many mountains and 3 national parks, The North coast is teeming with really good castles, some right on the railway line. Scotland to the north with Edinburgh, Glasgow, the Highlands. Again, many places accessible by rail. And, of course Northern Island with Belfast and the Titanic, the Giants Causeway. Both Northern Ireland and the country of Ireland both have a reasonable rail network.

really pleased you enjoyed your trip ,I caught myself actually smiling at your enthusiasm ,thanks for that!!

You picked up the receiver in a London phonebox! No wonder you lost your voice, you probably exposed yourself to a dozen STIs. 😏

They looked like Canada geese. It is native to the arctic and temperate regions of North America, and it is occasionally found during migration across the Atlantic in northern Europe. It has been introduced to France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, New Zealand, Japan, Chile, Argentina, and the Falkland Islands.

So you came to England for a month and only saw London, The South and the Southwest. Please Americans, this is not England. England has incredible sites and history in The East and in the Midlands and North. Check it out. 2:55

Leeds in Kent and not Leeds Yorkshire, iirc a person went to Leeds Yorkshire to see Leeds castle.

Cambridge is the same as Oxford in regards colleges. Is Cambridge city bigger than Oxford? Oxford is larger in size, with a population about 30% larger than that of Cambridge. And while both cities are located near rivers, the sole river in Cambridge, the river Cam, flows through the city centre.

Those US theatre prices are insane! 😮 wow! You could go on holiday for that price! 😂

It sounds like you caught a 'covid' variant, more likely on the boat, coming over?

Get to the north of England, it' better. Why didn't you pop into A and E, it's free. x

For USA viewers (and maybe some UK too), the name Leeds is most often associated with England's 5th largest city in the North of England BUT the little village of Leeds in the county of Kent in the far Southeast of England is the one with the famous castle. Don't go all the way to the city of Leeds expecting to find the famous castle because it's the wrong Leeds.

Your video has the times , 1:11...11:10...11:11.....And if you take all the words said at those moments , they say something amazing..........Only joking , but 1's appear EVERYWHERE .

It was 5 mos yesterday that I lost my husband of 54 years. Sometimes the grief is overwhelming

Im here! It's ME... I'm listening....

I'm so pleased you recommended Avebury, so much better to visit than Stonehenge which I think is a very disappointing tourist site. Also just 14 miles from Avebury is Lacock, a perfectly preserved medieval village belonging to the National Trust and it includes Lacock Abbey which is a gothic country house and well worth a visit.

Thank you for sharing Debbie, I’m so glad you enjoyed the U.K. Britain is a great place for a first time solo female traveller.
