From Stoke to Smoke

[@carolineharvey2534]

I got so nostalgic when she put in the clip from her old videos. It seems like so long ago! :')

[@tacosmexicanstyle7846]

"Insert coin for more vlogs". Sadly this is too true for most channels, I'm glad that Carrie has altruistic motivation to be here for it to be light hearted humour on hers though :)

[@edgymcfredster]

I love the knew sticky notes! They never fail to make me smile!

[@Just_jessie_3]

You sound so nonchalant when you say Bob Sherman gave you a doll house that is a replica of the house on Cherry Tree Lane...THAT IS AMAZING!!!😍😍😍

[@mizztomato]

The waterstones in Stoke really is gorgeous..I've wasted many hours in there

[@yelloweyes93]

+ItsWayPastMyBedTime if it's the waterstones in Hanley then it used to be a huge meat market 😂

[@Calicido]

+Tyra shite The time spent in a bookstore is never called wasted ;)

[@iamporkychops]

yeaaaah i spend a lot of time next door at wetherspoons

[@mizztomato]

+ItsWayPastMyBedTime I think that the whole building used to be used as a meat market? But they split it up into waterstones and wether spoons xx

[@lottie8156]

Tyra shite I love the Waterstones in Hanley!! Many hours have been spent in there

[@BasicallyBrittx]

Whoooop I love these vlogs! Do more do more! Aren't you going to get a big bookcase for your flat? It would be great to be able to take all of your books with you!

[@toxicpuppies5214]

I love the end screen! xx

[@ryancrownover1578]

I think you look absolutely adorable with short hair

[@BeckyMD26]

Hope you had a nice time in Stoke. Being from there just makes me hope that everyone was nice to you xxx

[@hannahuang8981]

I had a moment of PURE PANIC where I desperately tried to figure out how to insert another coin to keep watching..

[@jkl799]

I'm new to your channel.. Not sure how I got here but I'm really happy I am.. Would you do a little walk thru of how you film/edit... Your style is very nice - it's a mixture of beautiful in front of the camera and classy editing that frames your lovely trips and experiences.

[@Carrie]

+JKL This is really lovely! Especially coming from someone who's not an avid fan so you don't necessarily feel any loyalty or an obligation to say nice things. So I really appreciate your kindness! To be honest, everything I do wit regards to shots and camera work is complete guess work. If it looks nice to me then in it goes! Haha! xxx

[@saranordstrom7514]

+ItsWayPastMyBedTime Carrie, I don't feel obliged to say nice things just because I'm a fan. Haha, but you usually deserve nice things said to you! xx

[@imadreamer1507]

Welcome to the Hopeful family!!

[@jobakewell99]

About a year and a half after these videos I moved to Stoke so that I could study at Staffordshire University, just under two years after these videos I started working part time as a Front of House and Bar Assistant at the Regent Theatre (where Carrie was rehearsing for Chitty). It's so surreal to see parts of Stoke and the Regent in her vlogs, I kinda wished she'd filmed more there, even though she was training for the role so obviously couldn't.

[@hannahash5768]

this is my first carrie hope fletcher vid i like it and cant wait to see you in chitty chitty bang bang in newcastle xx

[@Carrie]

+Hannahs weirdness Welcome to my channel! Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy Chitty when you see it!

[@hannahash5768]

Aww thank you xx

[@A.l.e.x.e.a]

oh man I just got back last week from my first trip around Europe so the Euston platform and overhead speaker made me so nostalgic for my trip!

[@TheMadhouseOfficial]

I love the Waterstones in Stoke but for me, it's the Regent that grabs my attention. It's absolutely huge, and I have so many happy memories of shows there. I'm not much of a theatre actor, but perhaps one day, one of my own plays or shows will grace the stage. Break as many legs as you need to, Carrie. Cheers!

[@carastevenson7059]

I love it when you vlog behind the scenes of shows and stuff like this it gives me a real insight of what my job might be like when I grow up xx

[@stellaristic]

I have not watched your videos in SO LONG and it's amazing to see how much you've grown. You have turned out to be such a lovely lady!

[@chocolatnoir93]

aw you were so cute when you went to steal that sugar cube!

[@oliviaellen97]

So weird looking back at bits of your old videos and seeing how they/you have changed!

[@missmango2891]

Don't know why it has taken me so damn long to get to your channel Carrie, after following Tom since I was about 7 in McFly, but I'm finally here. And I am so happy! What a brilliant channel and a beautiful, intellligent youtuber. Thank you x

[@maggiealelew]

Awww I remember the old room, but Carrie you certainly deserved your castle!

[@TheWaterMinx]

Carrie, you've grown up so much in the past year! I used to watch you because I thought you were a 'cute kid' (I'm almost 30, so I can say that) and you reminded me a little of myself when I was your age. You made me feel nostalgic for younger me and I have enjoyed seeing a young person do their best to bring some positivity to this world. Now you've really come into your own! I can't call you a kid anymore! Keep being you. A fun, young, playful, slightly more mature and grown up you. :)

[@Mi-Ell]

I can't even form words to describe how much I enjoyed this completely random video! It made me so happy just watching this just now. You're such an amazing, inspiring person Carrie! Keep sharing the love xxx

[@carne]

loving these videos, and the sugar mischief, I LOVE THE MISCHIEF MUST DO MORE MISCHIEF

[@creativereindeer]

+WAHEY Productions hahaha yes!! 'Do it with confidence' :P

[@asfbassist]

I've been sick for a week now, but discovering your vlogs really helped battle the bordom that comes with being tied to ones bed/couch. They're so lovely and well made, so I pretty much watched every video you uploaded in the last year or so.... Thanks for being wonderfull! Greetings from Germany

[@lilleywhitewine]

Carrie, when I watch your vlogs, your productivity and motivation makes me want to write my essays and really get on with life/take on the world! THANK YOU

[@Whateverable111]

Aww I miss that house and those books as a background!

[@emilym5870]

Carrie your eyes are so incredibly GORGEOUS

[@stuckinabush]

The way you set out your vlogs is so beautiful and well shot; you make my favourite ones!

[@hiraethsystem3001]

I love the music you used in this video! It's so cute and matches your personality and your videos so well.

[@darciaglaucerica]

I love how adventurous you look while taking away the sugar! Omg, you make me smile so much just by being you, Carrie. It makes me cry so much how much you mean to me without even knowing you in person! I'm so happy that you're happy... despite the milk going bad and the hard work.

[@glasshalffull5565]

I LOVE the sticky note narration! It makes a montage so interesting and playful

[@phoebe3428]

Same!!!! 😸😸😸😸

[@lizziealiceb]

I live in that area and the waterstones is like my fave place ever its awsome

[@funkmachine_]

This video is so lovely and calming and well edited, and I just wanted to say how happy you make me and how I'm just eternally grateful for how calm and comforted you make me feel when I'm struggling with anxiety and all that fun stuff the most. I love you for what you do and who you are, you're so wonderful and you help so many people, thank you so much.

[@becki8000]

Aw Carries's face after she stole the sugar was adorable!

[@RayCF6]

Casually says she was given a dollhouse from Bob Sherman, that is so amazing Carrie, I'm so happy for you and wish you the best in chitty, I'm sure Bob Sherman would have loved to know you returned to the show!!

[@wickedly4]

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS NEW VLOG STYLE IT'S SO GORGEOUS

[@annalambert6673]

Hi Carrie, I'm absolutely loving the new style of your vlogs and the fact you're vlogging more. I love that, whilst you're now an author and joining the cast of Chitty, you still make time to create beautiful and original content! Xxx

[@JonasAlmostFamous]

A dollhouse from Robert Sherman! That is SO COOL!!

[@peggyfreakingschuyler8631]

+JonasAlmostFamous oh gosh! I love your videos hi!!

[@JessicaMotion]

I'm loving the end screens in your recent vlogs! Much love xx

[@theboringkaren]

I was hoping you'd bring up Dame Edna with those glasses. I'd get them for that reason.

[@captainwendy_980]

You're so cute with the new hair! I adored your long hair, but it was way easier than I thought to get used to the new one, matched your face so well!

[@Frankenzebra]

Carrie vlogs are best! imagining you cooking for Pete in the flat for the first time and he comes to watch you and being bewildered at why you're wearing funny glasses :')

[@alwaysgettingthere]

I am loving the more frequent videos, and that end screen is great!

[@rachaelgunn9490]

MY LOVE FOR TSP IS UNREAL! Their menu is to die for!!

[@rachaelgunn9490]

#stokeisnojoke

[@VeronikaHer]

OH MY GOD!!!! I left that "Let me tell you a story" mug in theatre for you on New Years Eve! There is a typewriter on the other side and I'm so glad it found its way to you Carrie :) I thought this was a perfect mug to drink your tea from while writing a book. Well... now I can die in peace :) xx

[@lifewithmeg101]

Where is the mug from? I need one in my life!

[@VeronikaHer]

+SomeTimeAroundMidnight Hi! :) I'm sorry. I'm from the Czech Republic and I bought it on a czech website where people sell homemade stuff :)

[@kyla8533]

I've been loving how frequently you're uploading right now! Love coming home to watch them after my own busy show rehearsals 😊 x

[@CuriosityRocks]

I'm glad you liked our Waterstones, I just wish it had a bigger art book section.

[@jalvesss]

You're editing has gotten niftier in these latest vlogs, I'm really enjoying it!

[@natasha8356]

I took a little break from Carrie's channel but I'm so glad I'm back. Your videos are so lovely!

[@rvbfan18]

Lovlely video Carrie! It's been great to see more cool vlogs about rehearsals! It's a shame that I didn't get to see you while you were in Stoke. The Waterstones looks so great!

[@hexkitsune1609]

Oh gosh Carrie I've just got home from holiday, gone back to work (Waterstones) and found the proof copy of your book waiting for me as I'd requested! I'm so excited to read it, I haven't put it down since I got it!

[@rosiegrace7953]

All these sticky notes in your video are reminding me that I haven't left a 'hopeful note' around town in a while x

[@dontworryimfine1859]

*frantically searches for a coin*

[@hannahmmcfall]

GUITAR HERO!!! Carrie you just got a whole lot more epic that you were before- and believe me- that was already fricken awesomeee!!!!!

[@MyriamEH]

Gosh, your last few vlogs have been on point!

[@Whateverable111]

She's such a lil dorkie I love her

[@pipistrelleia]

That book, Killing the dead, is such a good book!

[@xoCharox]

Ahhh!! Your with ATG. Wish you were coming to Torquay theatre for Chitty!!

[@srichards1327]

The glasses definitely have a Luna Lovegood look about them!!👍

[@DerZeitverschwender]

I've been watching vlogs since about eight years and have only discovered you like a few months ago. You have quickly turned into my favorite vlogger ever, I just realized I always watch your video first. Big love 😍

[@jessicahewitt226]

I hope you enjoyed Stoke and that the hotel didn't completely dampen your stay!

[@gabmelia]

A Place Called Here by Cecelia Ahern is one of my favourite books ever!! hope you enjoy it too Carrie :)

[@JinxKnight8764]

The Waterstones in Stoke is amazing! It's the largest one near me, and whenever we have to go to Stoke to get something, I somehow find my way in there.... And stay in there until my Mum finally drags me out.

[@stephaniebrady1472]

Hey Carrie. owe you a big thank you. on episode 10 of the first series of once upon a time . it's awesome. 🤗

[@curlywurlywhiteside1]

Getting a notification that you've uploaded makes me so happy😁😁

[@jamesdawson5169]

I'm really looking forward to seeing you in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. My mum got tickets ages ago because she is a massive fan of Lee mead, so when we found out that you were also going to be in it, I was so happy

[@memadster]

Dame Edna reference made my little Aussie heart light up 😊😊

[@9marieta]

I'm loving this so much!! It's so nice to see your vlogs daily Carrie. I might be new here, but truly i'm so glad I found you, your videos have definitely became one of my favourites things! :)

[@mhairivari]

Sooo pleased to learn you enjoy a G&T Carrie! x

[@mahwishfali]

Always a better day when i return to this channel and see youve put a video or two up!:Dxx

[@CharlotteReidsWonderland]

We used to have those onion cutting goggles at workout the new management threw them away when they started, and I now refuse to cut the onions because I cry like a baby if I do!

[@OliviaRylan]

I am LOVING these vlogs, Carrie! YOUR EDITING JUST GETS CUTER AND CUTER.

[@SamWest96]

I'm really enjoying the regular uploads! You are the only one of my top 5 youtubers who uploads regularly so I'm glad your videos are becoming even more frequent! It's a shame you had such a crappy hotel but I'm glad rehearsals are going well :)

[@jobakewell99]

It's so weird watching her videos from when she was in Stoke, as I moved there in September and live there in termtime for uni (Staffordshire University), and even though she doesn't show much of the streets it was odd when she was in the theatre, Tesco and tsb (now call the marzipan pig), as I've seen them in town, I really want to find out what hotel she stayed at as well (there's a possibility it was right around the corner from the uni campus).

[@ellierobson8188]

Really love the vloggy style videos from this past week! :)

[@via2274]

I love what you did at the end

[@jessicagraves4716]

I thought you looked rather like Luna Lovegood!

[@MorganleFayable]

Jessie Graves noo Rita Skeeter!

[@abbysmith4450]

[@UllisEP]

I really relate to your level of sugar-stealing bad-ass-ery! That's about as hard core as I'll go in the world of crime. Go you!

[@beefanyjeanne]

Really been loving your videos recently, Carrie!

[@jesstoria_]

You are so brilliant Carrie!

[@11nicole17]
