More action, more jobs, if you want to go from this side of the village.
Good morning and welcome back to another video.
My name is Evie and this is a vlog in slow English.
I do not have much time this morning because in like five minutes i have to work, i have to teach classes um, so i'm gonna make a coffee super quickly.
This morning I did not have any milk, so I had to go out to the shops, and it was such a beautiful day.
It's really sunny here, so like Everyone is in like a really really good mood, but I'll tell you more later.
First, coffee.
Okay, when I make coffee, I like to start with some caramel syrup.
This is a caramel syrup.
I do a dash.
Okay, next coffee.
This is like, this is espresso concentrated.
So then some ice cubes, some ice cubes, couple more.
And then milk that I bought earlier.
That was so not aesthetic.
It's because I was looking in the camera.
Okay.
That is so embarrassing.
Okay.
Right, coffee.
That was actually like a bit embarrassing.
Okay, wake up.
We have coffee, a spoon to mix it.
Now it is 9.57 in the morning.
Which means I've got to sit down and I've got to teach.
I've got to teach a class.
So, Mexico.
I went for a walk with Wilson to enjoy the sunshine.
Come on.
Because you may not know this, but in the UK, it has rained every single day of 2026.
So I wanted to enjoy the sunshine while it was there.
I wanted to get some vitamin D and lots of people were outside today so um, there were lots of people walking in the street and saying good morning to each other.
Everyone was in like a really, really good mood.
I have a couple hours more of teaching to do.
And after that, we are going to do something fun.
Okay, so I will see you in a couple hours.
Okay, so I have just finished work and now I have the afternoon free.
So what I thought that we can do is we could go to a village.
We can go see... Wilson is here.
We can go and explore a really nice village and I can show you what the English countryside is like.
We know what London looks like.
What is the countryside in the UK like?
So I'm going to need a coat because It's still quite cold.
It's not really cold, but it's quite cold.
But right now it's not raining, which is great.
So I want to enjoy the dry weather.
I want to enjoy the dry weather while we have it.
So let's go.
Are you ready?
Okay, we just arrived.
He is super excited so I'm going to put on his harness.
I don't know where it is.
Okay, i'm gonna put on his harness and um yeah, we'll get going to put on my welly boots because it's really muddy.
Let's go over the bridge.
Here is where the river flows through the village.
I go over the bridge and that is the road.
So if you want to go from this side of the village to that side of the village, you have to go through the river.
So i'm now here in the village and we are just going to take a little walk and i can show you some things.
But yeah, it's super beautiful.
This part of the UK is very expensive.
So in the past, these villages were fishing villages.
So this is where people who were fishermen used to live.
But now it's just some people who are Cornish.
So we are in Cornwall.
So some people who are Cornish live here.
And there is actually a Cornish language, but a lot of the houses now are holiday lets.
So they're only used for tourism.
I also wanted to show you these flowers.
So these are daffodils and they're basically associated with spring here.
So these little yellow flowers.
There are also lots of these thatched cottages.
So with the straw roof, that's called thatching.
Here's a little shot.
So in general, the British countryside is very peaceful, especially here in Cornwall.
So I grew up here in Cornwall and it's very calm.
It's very peaceful.
There are very small communities and everybody knows each other.
So in general, it's a really nice place to live, a really safe place to live.
And I mean, look at the views.
Isn't that beautiful?
There's a boat and just in front of it are these two swans.
Two swans.
Did you know that in the UK the queen well, now the king and the royal family own every single swan.
So you cannot harm a swan.
It's actually illegal.
How beautiful are they?
Very elegant, very graceful.
There's lots of boats out there.
If a boat is colourful, like these ones, you can't point there.
Those are fishing boats.
I can try and zoom in a little bit.
So these are fishing boats.
Normally down here people catch crabs and lobsters, things like this.
Shellfish.
It's kind of muddy.
It's a good thing I have my welly boots.
Okay, and here we are at the end of the path.
You can see all of the river here.
So beautiful.
Okay, he's pulling.
So down here there are some problems.
So it's very peaceful living here, but there's not always a load of opportunities for for people.
So many people move away from the rural areas and we call this urbanization.
So lots of people move away from here to go and live places that have more action, more jobs, more opportunities, like London, for example.
But it is really beautiful.
There probably is nowhere more beautiful.
Are you in a rush Wilson?
So pretty.
So this part of the UK has more of like a seasonal economy.
So a seasonal economy is where in the summer it's really busy because we have lots of tourists, but in the winter it's very quiet here.
So people prefer to come in the summer and they like to go to the beach and things like this.
So most people who live in Cornwall work in the tourism industry.
So during the summer they work every day, and then in the winter it's kind of tricky to to find a job or find consistent employment, unless you work in a school or a supermarket or maybe you are an accountant but we do not have many like businessmen here unless you own your tourism business.
Another thing is in the UK, we love to drink.
We love beer.
We love wine.
Here in Cornwall, we are famous for our cider.
So nearly every village has a pub like this one here in this little town I'm in.
And in the summer, especially when we have a sunny day, the pub is really busy.
So it's not like in London where people go for a drink after work.
Here it's when we have nice weather, or if you want to sit inside by the fire, it's nice to go to a pub as well.
It's really nice weather today.
Super tranquil.
There's even this super cute old tractor.
We recently had a storm in the UK and lots of trees fell down, including here, right in my path.
So I think we have to go underneath, underneath the fallen tree.
But there are so many trees down and I've been seeing them as I've walked around today, so we're now going to go for a walk with with Wilson to try and get rid of some extra energy.
So Let's go through the forest.
One more tree here.
One tree there.
And here.
It's so crazy.
And another one up there.
I'll see if I can show you.
Can you see this tree?
Completely snapped.
It snapped.
So the storm was the The storm was really, really strong, really powerful.
So hopefully there's another one.
So many fallen trees.
It really smells here like wild garlic.
You can see it growing in the hedgerows.
It's here.
And it smells really strong of garlic.
Kind of gross.
Somebody has parked their boat here and I think you can see it's just started to rain.
He hates the rain.
So I think we're going to walk down to the sea and then turn back.
Another very common thing to see in the countryside is people selling eggs.
So they're selling eggs and they have a little honesty pot where you put your money.
Okay, so we just got back in the car.
Um unfortunately unfortunately, it started raining.
So wilson hates the rain, i hate the rain.
I think we enjoyed the sunshine while it lasted, while we had it, But now it's time to go back back home, back inside, dry off.
I have a few other things to do today, but my main goal was enjoy the sunshine.
And I think I did that for as long as I could.
But unfortunately, we have still had rain every day of 2026 in the UK.
So what can you do?
What can you do?
I don't know.
So me and Wilson are going to go home.
He's drying himself right now.
I don't know if you can see.
So we are going to head back.
I'm here at the supermarket to get some things for dinner, to get something to eat, and basically here in the UK we have four main supermarkets called the big four.
So I'm here at Tesco and this is one of the kind of big four supermarkets, but also there are two more, Lidl's and Aldi, which are very, very popular as well.
So I'm going to go inside, get some food for dinner and I'll see you in a moment.
Easter egg.
Okay, we just got home and when Wilson goes out, he thinks he needs a reward.
Do you want a treat?
You want a treat?
He's going to snatch it.
Gentle, gentle.
So now, um that we're back home, i think i'm gonna chill for a bit.
I'm just gonna just gonna relax.
So i'll see you soon.
So i've got some things for for dinner, so i'm having pie.
We love pies.
The UK, we love pies.
In particular, this brand, Pukka, we love Pukka pies.
I'm vegetarian, so mine is vegan.
And I will make that with mashed potatoes and cabbage and leek here.
But the other thing I wanted to show you is in British supermarkets right now.
We have lots of things for Easter.
And in the UK, we normally celebrate Easter with eggs because an egg symbolizes a new beginning.
So one of the brands of chocolate eggs that we have is this one by Cadbury, which is, I think it's a British chocolate brand.
And they make these things called cream eggs, which are basically like chocolate eggs with icing inside.
They have icing inside, so really sugary And it looks like an egg.
Can you see?
So these are like a classic.
Everyone in the UK knows what a cream egg is um, the normal one, the kind of classic one, is with milk chocolate, but they also do them with white chocolate, which i think is new.
This is new with white chocolate, and they have a caramel egg, but that's a completely different thing.
So basically, my plans for the rest of the day are it's raining, so i'm going to cook dinner, i'm gonna cook pie, i'm going to light the fire and um, i'm gonna chill, but i wanted to show you.
So the cream egg.
It's chocolate.
My phone ran out of storage, but this is the cream egg i just wanted to show you, but it's really good.
Um yeah, but honestly, i think this video is gonna probably end here.
