Newquay | a vlog |

Hello, my dears!
So after 10 months, I'm finally back with another vlog. This time we visit the town of Newquay on the north coast of Cornwall. I stay in a cute little fisherman's cottage, visit the Headland Hotel for afternoon tea and explore the surrounding areas. I felt a little lonely this time, but it was important for me to document these feelings which you'll see. I'll be back with another adventure soon!

Now I see why everyone wanted this series brought back. This was so awesome to watch. Thanks for this!! 💚

[@bethanyanne9878]

Felt all warm and fuzzy when you went down to the bay the first time, it was right after you talked about missing Blue and wanting to bring him with you on one of these trips sometime… you could hear a dog barking in the background… I know it probably wasn’t the same type of bark Blue would have had but it still seemed like a bit of a sign that he was right there with you all along on this trip! 💙 Had to edit & add that towards the end of the video, when you were talking about feeling lonely and still grieving Blue… there was another dog behind you! Maybe I’m just in a funny mood but I’ll take those as signs! 😉🥰

[@MsTasha138]

I came here to say the exact same thing. It made me tear up hearing the dog playing in the background. Blu was there with him in spirit! All through the video you could see owners walking their dogs.

[@jrw2696]

I felt the same way, blue was definitely showing him signs that he was with him. Made me teary eyed when I heard the dog barking right after he talked about bleu. Such a beautiful vlog Aden, loved it

[@konekoenchanted5919]

Oh Aden, hearing you giggle while walking in the cold, cold ocean was wonderful. I am 56 years old and when I do things like that, people think I am just batty. I understand your loneliness without Blue there, I still miss all of my little puppers who have passed, no matter how long ago. Don't worry, he is with you always.

[@MyYellowSummertime]

I don’t comment really I usually just lurk - but I needed to say that I’m so incredibly fucking happy this vlog is here. There’s just so much authenticity to these vlogs, I simply adore them.

[@vannasilver]

I've said this before, but it's worth repeating, I adore your vlogs as I have very limited mobility and walking anywhere is just impossible these days, so getting to watch you explore places it so much fun. I really love the drone footage, it is such a unique viewpoint of the world. I hope the Sunday with Tom made you feel a little more exicted to be away from home. I'm sure the excitment of exploring will come back, but as you said yourself, grief is a process. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.

[@oliviami_]

YES YES YES! I couldn't wait for this. I will pause now, make myself a coffee and then i will start enjoying this beautiful video to the fullest.

[@alloway70]

Thanks! Appreciate you taking the time to travel to cool locales and bringing "us" with you.

[@DevonBumpkin]

Thank you SO much for this! I'll put this toward the next vlog 😍🧡

[@dannibelleable]

Aden, as always I appreciate you so much for your vulnerability and openness. Everything you put into these vlogs and your other videos is so genuine and its always a grounding experience listening to you chat away. Its a place to remind us to be silly, feel emotions as we have them and ultimately just be human. Can't wait for your patreon to be up so I can buy you a few more pints lol Sending lots of love x

[@DevonBumpkin]

Thank you friend :)

[@tmcconnell4484]

I love the sound of a crackling fire it is so relaxing.

[@dzizs03]

I always kinda wondered how you don't seem to get lonely on your trips, esp since the regions you visit have such unique nostalgic vibes. this one did feel different tho, it all seemed to fall into place to create this pensive moody atmosphere. and it didn't take away from the blog at all, it felt very grounding and real. the grief we carry can manifest in many ways and it's a crucial part of our journey to healing. as much as I would've wished you a happy snappy weekend away, I think you needed this darling.

[@DevonBumpkin]

I never get lonely on my trips, but this time was different. Thank you for these words my dear :)

[@Libby_izzy]

These vlogs are such a treat. I love how calming and lovely they are.

[@mialogan3529]

This vlog had me emotional from the intro. Actually teared up quite a bit and not really sure why. Your personality just feels like home to me, like a hug❤ adore you, Aden.

[@serenityjane72]

I agree totally. My feelings exactly. ❤

[@Rowynn77]

I've really missed these vlogs. You have a beautiful ability to take us along with you and make us feel like we're right there with you. Absolutely love that little fisherman's cottage. I think it's my favorite place you've stayed so far. I really loved your music choices for this one too, so beautiful. Thank you for taking us with you and can't wait to see you build the hotel!

[@creepies1533]

Aww Aden. You had me in tears at the end. Big squishes darling 💓💗💓

[@melliethemortician]

Thank you for this, in the past 2 weeks ive gotten dumped, been told my health is worsening much faster than we thought, and am now in one of the worst places mentally and I cant tell you how much your videos help. Lately ive felt like I had nothing to look forward to anymore but then I watch your Sims videos and even if its just for 30min it makes me forget everything going on, thank you dearly Aiden.

[@stelllth3578]

Once again, thank you for taking us with you on this trip and showing us around your homeland. I just have to say that Blue resides in your heart my dear and he was and will always be with you, no matter where you are. ❤

[@naughtonbynature]

We miss Blue too.. he was a special dog! Thank you so much for restarting your travel vlogs. I still dream of the Scarlet Hotel thanks to you

[@Alsadelt]

i can't begin to express how your channel makes me feel, it's like my safe place since i discover your buildings. When I have a rough day, I just watch your most recent post video or I go and watch some of your oldest ones. I really feel at ease when I hear you talk about literally anything. And I can't thank you enough for the nights you made me laugh with your voiceovers, even if I was at my lowest moment. Thank you, Aden, for things like this and all your channel in general, it's always a pleasure to watch you.

[@sjfortuin]

Thank you, Aiden, for sharing your travels with us and for making this vlog. Something really special. ❤

[@Mariianna1408]

You're such a wonderful person Aiden. You always put a smile on my face and I love these vlogs! Again I'm so sorry about Blue. I feel your pain, from my own experiences and from my work as a veterinarian assistent. Pets are family ❤️

[@manumemanu]

So good to see this series come back! Thank you so much for showing another wonderful place. I recently moved from a coastal city to the American Midwest and this vlog reminded me that it will take me some time to see the ocean again. I'm happy here, but it's definitely an adjustment.

[@missjennifered]

I put this vlog on my phone casually while cooking, and although I didn't think much of it, the sights and your sentiments about everything stayed with me so much that I've revisited it a few times since then. Thank you for being so hospitable and warm with us while being honest about your emotions - KZbin and the internet needs so much more of this!

[@haziewhims977]

I really miss how intimate your travel vlogs feel. It was such a warm blanket during a tough time and your humor is spot on! The cottage was so cute and lovely. Love how you’re building my UK travel guide that feels off the beaten path❤

[@SandyCarey]

Enjoyed this Vlog Aden. Yes, seeing you grieving for Blue and feeling lonely is healing. Its been 11 years since I lost my Jazz, but, still feel the loss 😢 it's just easier to deal with. Losing your best friend is not easily forgotten. The Vlog itself was so enjoyable, seeing different things other than just London. I wanted to hug you when you said you were lonely. It showed in your beautiful eyes. ❤ Tom being with you was the best medicine. No time limit on grief Aden that's not a lesson in life easily taught. Love you my dear friend, give my regards to Tom ❤

[@DevonBumpkin]

Thank you for this Sandy

[@banana9254]

Thank you for taking us along these little adventures with you & sharing a piece of your world. We appreciate you so much, darling!

[@helenr5]

I'm sorry you felt so lonely! This vlog definitely seemed more laid back than the others but not in a bad way at all. You might have felt that it lacked your usual feeling of wonder but we loved it just as much as the others, so thank you. 💙

[@TheeAntisocialXxtrovert]

I can always count on you to make me smile and laugh. You're so cool, funny, real, fashionable and handsome. You're definitely one of my favorite KZbinrs.

[@angeldoll96]

This was so relaxing to watch, those places I'm likely never gonna have the chance to visit so thanks for sharing. The drone shots were super cool and calm

[@ern8]

Thank you so much for these videos. They really are so special. And thank you for your honesty about the grieving process.

[@valentina-h]

Not gonna lie, this is the first vlog I've watched from you but I love the vibes and how you enjoy everything. I've always looked at the UK as a place I wouldn't ever live at because of the weather but I love how you show us a beatiful side of the country.

[@DevonBumpkin]

Thank you for watching!

[@veronicaj2933]

I'm so glad you posted another vlog. I absolutely LOVE this series!! I can't wait to watch it later. I hope you have a great day!!!

[@ByrdCamp]

Genuinely forgot he could leave the desk. It's like seeing your teacher outside of class.

[@brandonvelez4639]

First shot and I’m reminded how cute Blue was following you down the stairs and through the house 😢 The little guy will be missed❤ much luv Aden from me to you. Grieving is a tough thing but a beautiful reminder of how much those we loose are so special. Take care friend ❤

[@tsimmerdetsim]

First of all what a lovely vlog you made for us. Keep making this gorgeous content please. I had such a horrible week and weekend and this was the first time I felt so relaxed. It’s very normal that you grieve over your pet, blue is such an icon. Take your time and enjoy the things you want to enjoy! Thanks again Aden. Love, Tim. xoxo

[@Lacrimarimus]

Aw damn this part of the UK looks so much like where I grew up that it felt a bit like home. I'm new to your vlogs but I'm so glad you've decided to bring them back. The vibes are just immaculate. Thank you so much 💜💜

[@Bella-von-Bellesh]

Love these vlogs.. so natural and chill.. you just being you and being real.. hope each day gets a little easier for you both.. I have an elderly pooch and she is my bestest friend.. it gives me strength for what’s to come with how open and honest you are about the grieving process.. I honestly wish you the world xxx

[@diyaholiver2819]

Thank you again for sharing this fun video filled with adventure and opening up about your grief. I love that you are always true to yourself and very authentic. It always shines through on your videos! We love you for that! 🙏🫂

[@joshgell]

Devon only putting a small amount of water in his kettle is everything!

[@ashleeblackburn3385]

Devon's outfits are the best. He just screams fashionable and awesome

[@elevenoffbeat8112]

I am a 50 year old cis woman in the southern United States, and I truly appreciate you bringing this world into my life. I love how you see beauty in a place, and you are so good at revealing it to us. Thank you.

[@AmandaLow98]

overwhelmed with emotions from this one, smashed the like button at the mouth full of popcorn moment because it made me laugh, and yet feeling so melancholy with you as you process your thoughts and feelings. the human experience is such a varied one, and the vastness of our emotions and how they hit us at different times is beautiful and terrifying at the same time. Thank you so much for these vlogs 💛 sending hugs 🥰

[@noestestristecass]

I love how "cozy sims machinima" the beginning of the vlog was That portrait of blue is lovely! I'm glad you're deciding to vlog again, it's understandable that after so long doing vlogs makes you think of him

[@Katie_1231]

yesss ready for cozy vibes

[@notdeadred2148]

You really do justice to all the places you visit Aden, I’m so glad to see you back vlogging again because you capture the essence of these beautiful towns so well. Can’t wait for the next one! Keep on adventuring ❤

[@lashaethompson764]

Oh my heart. I’m hormonal and when you brought up blue I just lost it. Praying for your healing ❤️‍🩹 glad to be along for the journey with you.

[@BengtBagels]

My heart just sank when Aden mentioned Blue. Memories flooded in of losing my own two bestest fuzzy buddies years ago. Losing Lovely Little Blue must have been such a deep cut. 😢 I genuinely had no idea Blue had gone. 😔 It must have happened during my electronics reduction. So hugs for Aden and hugs for the rest of us soft-hearts out there. Just feel bad it happened when I wasnt around, such a silly thought - cuz honestly what could i have done to help? but still hugs go out

[@ashleejphillips]

So so glad this series is back! Love! Gorgeous vlog. Thank you for taking us with you 😍

[@KringleB]

It’s absolutely gorgeous, Aden! 😍 Thank you for sharing you. 💙 I am glad you are healing and adventuring… And you are hilarious too 😁

[@lipsx0fxdeceit]

Oh, I forgot you were bringing these back! I was so happy to see this! Edit: I wanted to mention that you always look so happy and at peace in these vlogs. It's really lovely to see.❤

[@pattiy8240]

I so love your vlogs. 💓 I have never been to England, and I truly get the sense of it from you. I could tell you were going through some loneliness and am so happy Tom joined you Sunday. Sending warm thoughts and hugs!! 💕🤗💕🤗💕

[@jaymurray3123]

Im so glad these vlogs are back. I have missed them. I just love them. ❤

[@chika8957]

So happy to see another adventure!! Thank you so much

[@bluestonecottage642]

Sorry for your loss ❤ sending warm hugs and prayers. I could sense a little sadness in the video but I still loved it. I love how real and relatable you are “I have to go have a little poo” I mean you can’t get any realer 😂 Thank you so much for this and I hope to see more travel or even day in the life vlogs ❤❤❤

[@florenciaalfano1342]

I’m so happy that the vlogs are back🫶 Thank you so much for all the love and hard work you put into this, it really is lovely to see new places from the other side of the world. Can’t wait to see you build with this inspiration 🥰

[@chrsprnc]

A beautiful ode to Newquay. It was really touching to see you reminisce about Blue 🤍

[@haeroerin2990]

Wow, the views were stunning and thankyou for showing us the hotel from The Witches. Loved this as much as the others x

[@yasminpaiva3368]

Oh darling, thank you so very much for the new vlog! I absolutely adore your vlogs, they're so inspiring and I hope you can continue doing them for as long as they're enjoyable to you. I loved discovering Newquai with you, as I vicariously meet and travel to these amazing places through you. Thanks again for sharing your experience with us and your thoughts and feelings 💚

[@MuirlySims]

"fuming with my muff" I legit lost it there lol! 🤣

[@yasmin7516]

I'm so happy this series is back and so excited to see what else is coming! (and very willing to help out through patreon) Also, grief is a process, and it will come in waves. Trying to bring yourself out of it the way you did might not always work, and sometimes you just have to feel it all. But being honest about it is so so important, and even though you didn't feel like there was much magic in this vlog, it doesn't mean it didn't do magic to me or someone else.

[@DevonBumpkin]

Thank you Yasmin

[@shannonjadepettit]

You're so bloody adorable Aden!! Adore you, I'd happily watch these when your 70 💖💖💖

[@feingefuehl.]

just watching this made me so emotional once again. Thank you for being you. And for taking us with you on those travels. It feels like a privilege to watch them and like hanging out with a friend. Thank you for everything you do, you make my days so much better 🥰🥰

[@Godivarealness]

This was remarkably beautiful. Thanks for taking us along with you.

[@tijanaaaa7183]

TIME TO COZY UP WITH A COFFEE AND CHILL ❤❤❤

[@fernandabarbosa2327]

Getting myself a cup of coffee to watch this vlog was just so nice and comfy! I missed this series and you always make us feel like we're your friends whenever you turn a camera on. I don't usually comment bc english is not my first language, but I'm always watching your videos bc they feel so authentic, like you're chatting with friends, you know?? Anyway, wishing you the best, Aden! And remember that Blue will always be with you no matter what! Lots of love from Brazil!

[@sarahphysick3335]

The perfect watch whilst having a relaxing bath. Thankyou Aden for sharing with us, it looks beautiful. 😍

[@StephBSims]

I love how real you are, how honest! Keep these videos coming…I don’t travel too much but this gave me the itch to start saving to travel and experience life more!

[@jessn5677]

Loved this! Your travel blogs are my comfort watch.

[@nadiahenderson7295]

Loved this vlog, it had such a calming vibe to it. The drone footage was amazing too! Others have said the same but I really appreciated you being so honest with us about how you were feeling about vlogging, and being lonely, grief etc. It gave the video a real sense of authenticity. Hope you feel much better on the next trip ❤ I’ve been subscribed to your channel a few months now, it’s become my favourite comfort watch. Can’t wait to see the builds inspired by this trip!

[@ivanataylor5014]

i loved every second aden. thank you for being so open with us. sending love and hugs!!!

[@afroborilafemme]

Thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us, Aden. I think the hotel from Witches would be iconic and an epic build that only you could bring to life in TS4. It was my first introduction to British media when I was a child and I absolutely loved it. I’m sorry you were feeling down and lonely. Grief can always sneak up on us when we least expect it. Your community is here for you. ❤

[@staceymckernan4747]

My favourite places are anywhere near a coastline, I just feel at home near the coast/sea and it helps to just be in your own world and tune the rest of the world out. I understand that loneliness feeling, It's been 8 months since my best friend of 21 years passed away and going to the coast every so often helps me to deal with the grieving. I take time out for myself, take in the sea air and remember all the fab, fun and absolutely hilarious times we shared just the two of us and with our children. Really enjoyed seeing you on your travels again and in such a beautiful area too. On the plus side, dipping your feet in the cold sea is invigorating, it helps to wake you up and feel refreshed 🤣❤

[@merryjayned7315]

absolutely LOVE the cute little cottage you stayed in. What a wonderful little weekend away

[@wendywilliams729]

I was saving your travel video for when I had time to sit down and enjoy. I was not disappointed because despite the sad changes in your life (which I'm so sorry for) you still have that spark and magic in you production value and I truly enjoy your videos. Do not apologize, we all understand. Your work speaks for itself. Please don't be self conscious for that. Thank you for what you post and be well, take care and don't lose the spark!

[@lypreila7913]

That cottage is too beautiful for words. And that hotel would be perfect for the Maison and Domaine cc sets!

[@angelxigh]

The beach soundtrack brought in all the feels 🤍🤍 thank you for taking us with yooou!

[@steph88jones44]

So glad these videos are back, i literally love everything you do, you make me feel at ease. I work from home and I don't get out the house too much and have few friends but you make me feel like i'm your friend and like i'm visiting these beautiful places with you, so thank you, you don't know how much of a difference that makes to some peoples lives. 'living my best life darlings' with your mouth full made me laugh and 'dodging the seagulls like space invaders' haha love you so much. Please don't ever change and don't stop sharing the TMI, we love it. Such calming yet entertaining Vlogs. Made me sad at the end, I hope your OK and enjoyed your private time with Tom. I continue to lurk on twitch while watching and liking all your you tube videos. I cant get enough :) Thank you Aden.

[@mumof2aklnz]

It had great magic and wonder, the happiness u experienced with the cold breaking waves on ur feet and trousers...... it made me smile that u were enjoying it ..... The ocean itself just has the ambiance of reflection for memories with those we have lost. Never to forget.

[@Lovlyb35]

Im so glad to be our vacation, oh how I miss these 🥰. Thank you for taking me alone on your wonderful adventures as we explore this beautiful place, love our expeditions ❤🥰...

[@libbyhardel1826]

Ahhhh...Grey's Anatomy. My absolute favourite tv show of all time. I've watched all the way through several times. You're early days yet...you've got so much to go through and all of it is soooo good! Love the place you're staying, LOVE ENGLAND really!

[@samrudd1555]

Yesssssss!! That's my evening sorted. 😊

[@sophiedaniels1235]

Wow how has it been 9months since your last vlog, that's gone so quickly. I love how calm these make me when I'm watching and I get to see parts of the UK that are so pretty. Thanks for bringing this back 💚 So sorry about 💙 we lost our 6yr old cat suddenly in Oct and it still hurts now.

[@LexiSimmer]

Oh! I’m so happy this is back! I love your adventures! I don’t usually comment and I just watch and have a wonderfully happy day afterwards! ❤️❤️❤️

[@OziJo1]

SO wonderful!❤❤❤ Glad you bought this series back.I know you were feeling lonely but we are with you and love to see your world through your eyes.

[@kismet_sims]

This video was so lovely. I love all your content but this was so perfect. You have this aura about you that just radiates kindness and gentleness. It was comforting and like spending time with a close friend. Good for the soul. Thank you for all you do and for what you share with us.

[@alyssajohnson5803]

Beautiful drone shots, Aden! Omg. Stupid seagulls. Thank you for taking us along on this journey. You are so wonderful!

[@TheHenfordHen]

So excited to watch this this morning with my coffee

[@spreadyourwingsandflybutte768]

Aden your blogs make me smile and so happy. 🙏🏾

[@Librumsim]

Beautiful vlog Aden, thank you. I love your honesty, sad you were feeling lonely but glad you could had Tom with you. Such lovely places near you, thanks for showing them to us.

[@kittykattadam7564]

I'm a few days late to catching up with videos. This is an amazing vlog. The beach is gorgeous, the drone footage is so beautiful, the colour of the water is stunning bluey green. Thank you for doing these vlogs, they are so much fun to watch. It's lovely Tom came out to be with you. I'm sure blue is with you in spirit. Sending so many hugs and love.

[@hannaht3075]

I’m so glad your vlogs are back I love the calmness of them and exploring places I’ve never been and would love to go😌

[@roisin3876]

Always a pleasure to watch your adventures. Much love from Australia x.

[@potatosmileys6637]

Ive finally found time to watch and it feels so cosy already ☺

[@jossoco]

Hi Aden! I am a new viewer and have been absolutely binging your Let's Build the Worlds series (Brindleton Bay at the moment...the builds are so gorgeous!!). I popped in and watched this newer vlog and loved it so much. Pets are such a beautiful gift, and I really feel for you and your loss of Blue

[@highfive7689]

It makes me smile to see you a bit more relaxed. And a pint does makes everything good again. 😸 Thank you for sharing some time with us. Till next time.

[@lovingly_lonni]

I'm so happy you brought this series back. These videos are so comforting and an absolutely wonderful way to relax after along day. Those drone shots were superb as well. Thank you so much Aden!

[@illusive_bodies2513]

Just furthering the sentiment about how lovely this vlog is. Such a peaceful and calming atmosphere and so beautifully shot!

[@Genie-Beany]

I am so glad to see the return of these vlogs, which I absolutely adore. They are such a lovely escape, especially when we are still deep in winter with a lot of snow on the ground where I live in the world. Thank you for being so authentic and open when you vlog; it can be so hard losing a beloved pet. I am glad that Tom was there to share part of the trip with you, even if it was rainy.

[@Theboxingobserver]

Fantastic blog. Very engaging, authentic and lots of character. Bravo, Sir x

[@sarahs.7400]

I'm so happy to see you vloggin again. I missed your videos so much. Hope that you will feel better the next time. I appreciate your work. You are an absolute darling and you make my days so often. Stay well. Lots of love.❤

[@PageCreations]

Thank you for sharing your trip. I truly enjoy them. You show places that I'd love to see, but at this point I don't see myself traveling outside the U.S. I was truly sorry to hear about your loss of Blue. I knew he had been having some issues for a while. It's always so hard to lose one of our little guys. I'll miss him too. Sending much love and hugs your way. 🥰

[@amymaynard3394]

I love you and I love your channel. I watched your worst items build before this vlog (I've not been able to watch much KZbin for the last 5 months or so so I've been catching up a little) and I was laughing so much, you are hilarious and exactly my type of person. Your sense of humour is top notch! Then I watched your vlog...and heard about Blue, and now my heart is broken for you. I am so sorry for your loss, my little dog is my best friend and would be so lost without her so I feel for you so much. Needless to say my laughter from the previous video had turned to tears. But I know he will always be with you and one day you will be reunited, Blue will never leave your side. I hope you and Tom are healing well, sending love to you both. Rest In Peace Blue 💙
