Frankie's World (Frankie C, Francesca Hellstrom)
United Kingdom
Registrace 18. 04. 2009
Since leaving Italia Conti Academy of Performing Arts in July 2021, I have decided to take this channel down a slightly different route and I hope to do more travelling and take you all with me. I'm going to VLOG my travels, visiting many historic sights. I'll talk about my views on the local cuisine and my opinion of the local beers and wines. I'll also be filming my exploits by bicycle and mountain walking and include my fitness workouts and sports activities whilst travelling. When at home I'm going to do a weekly acoustic session from my living room.
Balmoral Castle in the Cairngorms, Scotland. Queen Elizabeth II passed away here
Although you can't go into the castle, the grounds are beautiful and the setting nestled in amongst huge fir trees is very tranquil. I especially enjoyed looking at all of the family photos of the Royal Family in the Ballroom, no photography was allowed inside the ballroom.

A Week in Scotland - GLASGOW UNIVERSITY, Gilbert Scott Building
zhlédnutí 39Před rokem
We drove up to Scotland for a week with our first port of call being Glasgow University. My brother hadn't been able to go to their open day but was in receipt of an offer to study an MA in German and Politics. He met up with a couple of lecturers there and we had a good old look around the complex.

On 21 August 2017, Billboard announced that "Perfect" would be the fourth single from the album. Originally peaking at number four in March 2017, the song re-entered the UK charts later that year. It reached number one on the UK Singles Chart and the US Bil...

It was first recorded in February 1931 by Ozzie Nelson and also by Wayne King and His Orchestra, with vocals by Ernie Birchill. A popular standard, it has seen more than 60 other recorded versions.

Back to Black cover of the talented Amy Winehouse's emotional song from the album Back to Black
zhlédnutí 116Před rokem
When I think of Amy Winehouse and her short-lived life it always make me want to cry, what a waste of such a talent. Recording this song was very emotional. Back to Black was released by Amy Winehouse on 30 April 2007 by Island Records as the third single from her second and final studio album of the same name (2006). The song was written by Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson. Ronson produced it. Ba...
My Cover of Carrie Underwood's Before He Cheats

"Before He Cheats" is Carrie Underwood's biggest commercial hit and the best of her revenge songs, even if others felt more believable. I love it. "Before He Cheats" is a song by American singer Carrie Underwood from her debut studio album, Some Hearts (2005). Written by Chris Tompkins and Josh Kear, it was released as the fourth single from the album. The song became an enormous crossover succ...
Taylor Swift's MEAN covered by Frankie
zhlédnutí 35Před rokem
This is a very upbeat song in which Taylor tells the person who has been bad mouthing her not to be MEAN. It's supposedly written about a music critic who tore her apart for her performance at the 2010 Grammy Awards when she 20 year old Taylor hit a bum note - at least she was singing live and didn't have her voice autotuned. I say good for her for putting him in his place. Nobody knows his nam...

Busy Busy De-Cluttering The House

The three of us have been very busy getting a lot of our house packed up and put into storage so that we can sell our house and move to Scotland. Even though we've nearly filled a 100m square storage container with furniture and household goods, we've still got a load of rubbish that's being moved around the house and so looks worse than it did before we started. Hopefully we'll be finished soo...
Day 19 of Our Christmas Expedition - the ancient city of Regensburg in Bavaria
zhlédnutí 37Před rokem
We left Austria in glorious sunshine and arrived in mid-afternoon in Regensburg in Bavaria where the weather had turned grey. What an amazing city. We couldn't believe that we had never stopped there before. It has Roman remains and is full of Roman and medieval history. A beautiful stone bridge over the River Danube (which wasn't blue that afternoon) and two-spired Cathedral. Evidently the Chr...

Before leaving Austria we had two nights in Salzburg - my favourite city in the whole world. We were very happy that the Winter Market was still on and mum was able to buy herself the starter of something that she has been wanting for years. Lavon met another long-haired Chihuahua, it was cute to see how his tail and neck will fluff out with hair over the next few months. We're very sad that ou...

I was A Squadron 4th Royal Tank Regiment (Scottish Tankies) stationed at Imphal Barracks at Dodesheide next to Naafi from 1984 to 1991 and lived in Belm. My how things have changed eh....but great memories living in The Traz eh!!
No more tank road.
@@jokgoo aye its all changed so I see from this vid plus still have friends from the old German net still living in Belm who give us updates. Best times of my younger life spent there.
I was stationed at Belfast Barracks from 1985 - 1st Batt Royal Irish Rangers 7 platoon B Coy then Signal Platoon. I bought my first car in Osnabruck a Gold Opel Manta (3000 deutsche marks) which I did my driving test in as I was never in the UK long enough to get driving lessons. I was surprised they knocked the camp down due to it's long history and solid buildings. I remember the weekly run round the near by lake, and helping out in the battery store next to the REME, this is what set me on the course to become an engineer which I greatly enjoy. I drive past Osnabruck several times a year it is pleasant to see the autobahn sign Osnabruck.
Quebec Barracks is a housing estate now, the blocks at Roberts on the Nette Heide are still standing. One is a cop shop and part of land is Caffe Perfekt. Last time i was back was 2019.
Sad to see. I was 1 Royal Irish 85-86. Belfast Barracks has completely gone except for the half wall and gate posts.
The roads all round there have totally changed. It was totally barmy.
I was stationed at Roberts Barracks from 1972 - 1975 with the Royal Engineers. Probably the best 5 years of my life, sleeping under a cam net in the MT yard all day and chasing the Fraeuleins every night until one finally nailed me down. Now only the memories remain.
At least you have the memories.
I lived in the Dodesheide married quarters on Schlesische strasse in 83-84, worked in the camp as a REME mechanic.
We just missed each other by 2 years,, 86-89.
I understood that our old RHQ block 20,the first on the left inside the main gates was still there ? I was there in the early 1950s but have been back many times.
It was very hard to get any bearings, so it's hard to say which blocks were the ones left standing. I had worked in Quebec Bks and couldn't work out where they had been. My husband worked at Roberts, so a drive I made every day (down the backroads) between the 2 Bks wasn't traceable either.
Hello. I was stationed in Osnabruck for three years, I arrived Easter 1966. I was at Scarborough Bks ( Kaprivi Kaserna) which is now the Osnabruck Uni. Some CZcams film of the old buildings are great but the vehicle parks and POL points etc are all gone. I couldn’t find any reference to the Old Onsnabruck of my time. Have you any idea where I might find some. Oh and I was in 15Sqn RCT, we had Ten Ton AECs, or knockers as they were known. Fantastic vehicles and a fantastic posting. I went to Sennelager after this.
Hi thanks for getting in touch. The following might give you some info. Osnabrück has changed so much over the past 40 years, so for you, the change will be even bigger at nearly 60 years after your time.
Next 15 Sqn RCT Reunion is in Weymouth May 2025
@@frankie_s_world Hello. Yep, correct. I only recognise parts near the Opera House, even the pub that was beside the monument of a miner under a waterfall is still there but so so different. A Goggle Earth search shows the roads around the old camp almost the same, especially the back way in that used to be the main entrance and guard room prior to 1965. But as you say the whole area has changed beyond recognition. I loved Osnabruck, it was several classes above Sennelagar and Paderborn.
@@edpzz can you send me details please.
Bella interpretacion!
Thank you.
Hi Frankie, I was stationed at Roberts barracks, 80 to 86, with 7rha artillery, can't recognise it now whatsoever, great memories tho, thanks for the post, your mum was right, unrecognisable, thank you, x
Hi Tony, you were leaving as my mum was arriving. Mum found it really sad that all trace of the British Army has been eradicated and even sadder that she couldn't find her way around.
@@frankie_s_world exactly, I do know it is now a coffee drive in, can't even fathom where the guard room used to be, even the roads have disappeared, sad really, thank you for replying appreciated,
I used to visit here in the 90-00's
I bet it's changed a lot since then. Thanks for watching.
If you want to get more information on this, Viscountess of Hinchingbrooke a.k.a. American Viscountess has done a whole five part series of this including these hedges. It absolutely captivated me as a Canadian with our ties to the UK. She married into the Montague family and they no longer live at Hinchingbrooke as they had to sell it in the 50s. They live in “England’s finest manor house” Mapperton. There is an explanation about the hedges which has something to do with an elephant leaping over. Yes there are ghosts.
Thank you for the information. I'll definitely check her out.
Very nice 😁

Have you ever seen Joolzguides of London. He makes videos of London with all these great anecdotes of the history of London.
No I haven't. If I ever get time, I'll do so.

Thank you so informative. My wife and I are considering visiting there in a couple of years. We’re from the USA. We have a friend who lives in Kettering.
Hi Boston Bobby, thanks for your feedback. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I hope you and your wife do visit Kettering. I'm half-American and my grandparents lived in Massachusetts until recently. Maybe some of my other videos will inspire you to travel to other places in Europe. All the best, Frankiex

Frankie there are no comments but people are reaching out to me and rave about it.
For the past several years my fave of your covers was Sparks Fly. Before that was Secret Love. This performance easily took over as the Summit of your musical development, dear daughter.
Hi~~Very nice~! Enjoy music together and Visit our music channel~~Thank you~~!!
Woow This is very beautiful my friend! 👏🏼You did an awesome job 😊 (I covered this too btw) 😀.
Thank you. I'll check yours out.
Oh man, so cool! I think that it could be of use to research a service such as P R O M O S M.
It's a bit disrespectful putting table and chairs over an historical time line just move them.
Yes, you're right I'd not thought of that.
Loved it!! Such a treat listening to this while tidying my room hehe!
Glad you liked it!!
