IB = Invisible Boyfriend. He's my boyfriend. He's real, but he's camera shy so you never see him in the vlogs though you will hear him. He is heard but not seen.

Imo is a flautist/flutist (flute player), and these vlogs will often take you behind the scenes of the life of a professional folk musician. Stand by for bits and bobs of live folk music and dance as they pop up in our day-to-day lives.
These videos will not generally feature recorded background music, making them extra suitable for people who aren't keen on pop music!
Follow this channel for occasional tips on caring for eczema, content relating to the flute, travel (particularly to Lisbon, Portugal), folk musician lifestyle, and to see what life is like for this little family in our corner of South Wales in the UK.

Here's a playlist to some of my other St Fagans vlogs: kzbin.info/aero/PLALLNg0RJa5zguH8V3ajffFSfZKqUvk8f

[@annekalunn8567]

I suffer loads of health problems but still put my parents first

[@donnysweekendvanlifetravel7854]

Loved this so much I loved watching the family's that went back in time on TV few years back all the best donnyx

[@PlanetImo]

Oh yeah me and Izzy used to watch all of those! I haven’t noticed any coming out lately. Have you? I don’t really watch telly much though - mainly just KZbin and the odd bit of catch up and Netflix with IB and/or Isabel.

[@stevenjones1972]

Hello, traveling through the houses in time was brilliant,1985 was right for the year, especially the cups and the tape player.the TV is so cool.

[@PlanetImo]

I remember they used to have a beta max player there - it was huge. I didn’t know why they took it away. Thanks so much, Steven! X

[@annefarrington9059]

Loved visiting this many years ago with my Aunty from Cardiff😊 & such a interesting museum

[@David.M.]

As an American, it is odd to see a washing machine in your kitchen, let alone a bathtub! We usually have a "Utility Room" or a dedicated closet area for the washer and dryer. These last three vlogs about St. Fagans are great. Thanks for filming and editing them for us.

[@PlanetImo]

Aww I’d LOVE to have a dedicated laundry room! I associate that with wealth here. It’s normally just part of the kitchen here. Thanks so much for the appreciation of the editing. I appreciate the appreciation! 😆

[@evancortez2]

Great travel through time! And we didn't even need a Delorean time machine!

[@PlanetImo]

No that’s true! The train was all I needed.

[@WormsEyeView]

The simple homes seem really cosy. No distractions. And uncluttered

[@PlanetImo]

Unlike my house! Ha ha ha!

[@RetiredLovingIt]

Enjoyed this series of videos. Nothing beats historic places!

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks guys! These are my favourite videos to make but they sadly don’t do as well as my more every day content. It’s a shame. I’m hoping these will eventually out perform by coming up in search over the years. Fingers crossed!! KZbin is a tricky game to navigate! 😆

[@deansinger8285]

remembered those houses were occupied over 40 years ago, built near the old leisure centre

[@PlanetImo]

😊

[@janw1746]

Thanks Imogen..it's really refreshed my memory..went a while ago.. hearing you talk about the open fire brought back lovely memories..💐we went to a holiday cottage a few years ago in Hebdon Bridge and the old unused bath was in the kitchen..🤭

[@PlanetImo]

Aw lovely! There's something very calming and therapeutic about watching a real fire in a grate. It's kind of mesmerizing. That's interesting to hear about the old bath in the kitchen! I'll be interested to see what other people write about that, too. Thanks so much for watching, Jan. x

[@jasonwoods4811]

Thanks for the set of vlogs I have enjoyed them :D

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks so much! It's a real treat to make vlogs like these - I had lots of fun making them. Thanks so much, Jason.

[@welshmanjasonpatrick8607]

I remember visit national slate museum in llanberis hand house ther house ther going in past and my town Conwy got smallest house in great Britain I enjoy watching it

[@PlanetImo]

Now that sounds like somewhere I'd like to visit. I think I've seen that smallest house a few times on other people's vlogs. :¬) Thanks so much for watching, Jason.

[@ItStartsWithAStep]

I love that fire makes me feel so cosy with a nice fire. My gran used to have one of those desks ... i'd always just open and close it for the sake of lol Cool to see the cottages through time like that

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks, Kate! X

[@karen4you]

Oh boy that was grand! I loved the explanations of the posture board, left-hand gadget, etc. It really is stepping back into time. The 80s stuff looked very dated to me. Things have changed. But we can go to thrift shops and find a lot of those items still. I'm keen on 40s and 50s things. The washing-up stations in the bedroom remind us of how far we've come.

[@PlanetImo]

We really have come a long way in a short space of time. Thanks so much, Karen. X

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Good video. Continue on your road on getting the silver play button

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks 😊

[@AxeMoose]

Very nice look around. Glad you got a hot drink.

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks, Dave. X

[@sarahhaverson176]

I think the item in the 1855 house you couldn't remember what it was, is a candle snuffer.

[@PlanetImo]

Ah! I wondered it it might have been a candle snuffer of some sort put I couldn't work out what the pokey thing was for. 🤣 Thank you so much, Sarah. x

[@OutandAboutWithDavid]

In the houses 1805 at 1:10, 1855 at 2:15 and 1895 at 3:45 it is a goffering iron stand. They were used to create ruffles and pleats.

[@lynnew2480]

Love St Fagans! Haven't been for a while. Great vlogs Imo x Oh and yes, did have a bath in the kitchen when I was very young .... and a freezing outside loo 🥶

[@PlanetImo]

Oh wow! Thanks for the info. Do you have any other places you live to visit around South Wales?

[@lynnew2480]

@@PlanetImo Margam Park is nice for a good stroll and beautiful Gothic mansion. Also Cosmeston Lakes. Oh and Cefn Mably Farm, if you love animals! 🙂

[@AgungTendaChannel]

thanks for sharing good video

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks so much for watching 😊

[@WormsEyeView]

I missed this one!

[@PlanetImo]

I tend to miss them when either I’m at IB’s or he’s at mine as it changes my routine.

[@evancortez2]

if you walked in on somebody sitting on the toilet, that would have been a great thumbnail for this vlog! Just imagine the look on his face! LOL

[@PlanetImo]

😆

[@tinahaydon5790]

My aunt had one of those baths in her South Wales kitchen in the 70s. When the lid was down it acted as a kind of work surface, or shelf, albeit very low.

[@PlanetImo]

Oh wow! Thanks for the info, Christine. X

[@tinahaydon5790]

@@PlanetImo you're welcome 🙂

[@marybarratt2649]

Im really loving the videos because I really do like social history. So interesting. Just occurred to me that Imo is short for Imogen. I once asked a group of ladies what name they would choose for themselves if they could change their Christian name. I chose Imogen. You are the first "Imogen" I have ever "met". TFS 😊

[@PlanetImo]

Aw thanks! I didn't appreciate my name as much when I was very little because I felt it made me stick out like a sore thumb, but now I like it a lot. :¬) I love the social everyday living type history too. I love visiting places like this. Thanks so much for watching. x

[@alexmcleary4595]

Brill series of vlogs Imo really enjoyed them. Look forward to your return for part 4. Or would it be part 1 series 2 🤔😁

[@PlanetImo]

Oooh I’ll have to decide. I love making these sorts of vids the best but oddly the more day-to-day vids get more views - at least in the short term. Oh well! 😆

[@alexmcleary4595]

@@PlanetImo Bet the shopping vlogs go well. 😁👍

[@owentaylor1671]

hello i am sad right now and how are you i love you videos thare amazing

[@PlanetImo]

Aw sorry to hear you were feeling a bit miserable. I hope you’re feeling happier today. I’m not too bad thanks. Thanks so much for watching.

[@WormsEyeView]

Shared ovens. Never knew that

[@WormsEyeView]

My mum had a cassette player like that.

[@PlanetImo]

❤️

[@Victoria2cupsadayVlogger]

I like seeing the different eras, its neat to see how they used to live, but the Schools back then were kinda mean I think. :o)

[@PlanetImo]

I think so too! Not exactly nurturing, were they?!

[@evancortez2]

a couple of things missing in the 1985 one was a Rubiks cube and a Sony Walkman :)

[@PlanetImo]

Oh yes! I had both of those things!

[@WormsEyeView]

A bath I'm the kitchen. That's odd but maybe good for the heat from the oven?

[@PlanetImo]

I suppose so yes, and a room that’s more suited to getting steamed up than the lounge…

[@WormsEyeView]

TV dinner of fish and chips 🍟

[@PlanetImo]

Some things haven’t changed!

[@WormsEyeView]

What was your step count this day?

[@PlanetImo]

Over 20,000!

[@cat-annechats5362]

I hated seeing those finger locks for those left handed children. God made their brains to work left handed. Poor kids. I know I've heard lots of stories

[@PlanetImo]

It happened to my very own Grandma, actually. She was born a leftie and 'cured' of it. What insanity was that? Wow. She grew up in England - presumably London, as far as I know. Born 1910.

[@cat-annechats5362]

@@PlanetImo I've heard stories too. My grandmother was amidextrous, and of course made to use her right hand to write with. She did about everything else with left hand. My dad was left hand. Wish I could ask him about it. I have a slew of cousins left handed, and a son in law. I seriously think that was cruelty back in the day.

[@WormsEyeView]

The things people got punished for. Goodness

[@PlanetImo]

I know. Ridiculous isn’t it.
