American Abby: [EPISODE 2] First Holiday Weekend - Newmarket and London

[@terryparnell520]

Love Newmarket! I hope you got to see the horses being run through their paces at dawn. And the (free entry) horse auctions are pretty interesting to watch. It’s a whole different world. .

Abby....sorry I'm late to the party as only just stumbled onto your vids.... Stating the obvious, you are so beautiful and the quality and style of your vids is so atmospheric, and calming..... Love the choice of music, and love your obvious appreciation of everything, and that you managed to do so much in such short visits. I just subscribed, and will be trying to search out some following adventures.......x

Talk about good food. We enjoyed the Scotch Tea Room. Shopped at The Pork Shop for sausages. Many years ago now.

Watching this made me Think how lovely our country is! Those that decry it yet still live here would do well to think too!

You've probably been told this already, but Big Ben is not the tower but the bell inside it. The tower is called the Elizabeth Tower. Westminster Palace (the Houses of Commons and Lords) is falling to bits and needs hundreds of millions of pounds spent on remedial work, so is likely to have scaffolding on it for the foreseeable future. There is talk on moving the entire parliament to another building, perhaps another city for five or more years so they can properly refurbish the Houses of Parliament. I believe the Changing of the Guard normally happens every other day.

For visitors to uk, two apps are very useful . 1 too good to go 2 olio Both concern food. Shops and resturant sell their food at the end of the day at cut price. It is worth checking out of you are anywhere in the uk.

To be honest, unless you get there really early and camp out, you will likely not see much of the changing of the guard. At least with the KZbin videos of it, you get a front row seat of it.

[@mazdamps]

It is without doubt a very interesting and unique ceremony, but if you want to see something really spectacular (without horses) check out "The Ohio State University Marching Band"...... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZW6oJ-MqLCfd6s Beat that!!!

So are you serving or a wifey of a serving personnel? Good vids keep it up.

CREEPY

[@bull010163]

Adventurous Americans we will visit but only have a burger everywhere we go.

[@americanabby]

Definitely am a burger fan! And when I'm hungry, I'm skeptical about trying new food. I try new stuff here and there. (But haven't found anything I like more than a good cheeseburger)

[@stevebarlow3154]

@@americanabby See if you can find a British friend who is also a good cook. English food when made with care and love can be tasty and quite varied. You'll love the steamed puddings!

[@bull010163]

More adventurous American eaters, 3 meals shown and 2 burgers chosen. Pushing the limits on trying new things!!!

[@americanabby]

When I'm hungry, my stomach wants what it wants. :)

[@paultanyas]

Fascinating, just to see the wonderment at everything your looking at. Personally I’m not a big fan of London, over priced and to many people ready to take advantage of tourists much better places to see in England, Wales and Scotland.

[@americanabby]

Now I wish we would have went to a few more places... since we basically haven't done any traveling in the last 10 months :(
