- CARDIFF, I'm BACK! And I've missed you! In this extended CARDIFF VLOG I am attempting to buy footwear in Cardiff City Centre shops.
I travel into Cardiff by train getting off at Queen Street rail station and head off down Queen Street towards Cardiff Castle. I give a little tour of the Cardiff Indoor Market and pop in and out of lots of the shops, arcades and shopping malls (including St Davids Shopping Centre) in Cardiff City Centre attempting to buy footwear. Will I succeed?! The pouring rain doesn't help!
I have lunch at Nata and Co in Cardiff Queen Street and the camera shop was called Camera Centre UK, in Morgan Arcade.
Filmed on:
Early on at home and the train shots until we were pulling up to the train station:
Sony Handycam FDR AX43 - amzn.to/2LGe5UI
All the walking shots and all the rest of the Cardiff footage from the point of getting off the train:
GoPro Hero 9 black - amzn.to/3oDJBkY
All shot in 1080.

She ships to the UK only. I think you might need an account to see the prices by clicking on the items. At the time of making this video, all items are £3 each.
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.

I'm Imo and she's Izzy. We're a UK mother and daughter vlogging combo that loves to get out and about and exploring South Wales and beyond.
We're a formerly homeschooling/home-educating family of two based in the UK dealing with the daily challenges of managing Izzy's severe, chronic eczema and her education. Our resourcefulness is tested on a daily basis, but we'd love to share our little triumphs and discoveries with you as we go along.
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), homeschooling and homeschool mom stuff, folk musician lifestyle, and to see what life is like for this little family in our corner of South Wales in the UK.

Glad that Ninja is still playing the bins (literally)..some things never change 😅
Ahhhh I didn't see him drumming this time, but you can always spot him a mile off. I think his hair was bleached blond this time?
I'm happy you can do this; still be careful and wash your hands!!! 🧼💗🌺
I have small feet & usually shop in the kids shoes as well. Always cheaper. Lunch looked good! It’s always great to get out and about again.
Such a relief after being cooped up at home for SOOOOOO long. I think it's been 5 months, honestly. This was a massive breath of fresh air for me. Thanks so much for coming along. Hopefully we'll all be having many more adventures ahead to look forward to. x
I was so digging the stall with the red dragon items. With so many shops I'd actually be overwhelmed. Ladies' clothes are getting made of thinner material. Soon it'll be like tissue paper. That food was so lovely. I didn't realize that you just want black footwear. I was given a pair of Brooks running shoes by a friend because a few tiny areas were wearing on them in the fabric, and the fit is fabulous. Not into the color, but can't see my feet for the most part and they feel so wonderful. Hope you find what you need at a great price.
Lovely shopping experience I enjoyed spying in the shops .. I was drooling looking at your Lunch xx
Aw, thanks, Pamela. I often get food envy whilst editing my own footage after it's been eaten! 🤣
Thanks for the trip to Cardiff! I enjoyed watching the city sights as you walked on.
Great shopping trip... love seeing all the different shops. I'm like you, when I go to buy clothes I want to be alone. I'm fussy and it takes me awhile to make up my mind. Most times I come home empty handed. I have 2 pair of Sketcher's runners that I bought before we went to Vegas one year, as I knew I'd be doing a lot of walking. They sure are good for my back. I remember going with my dad to a camera shop... BORRRRRRINGGGGGG.. hahahaha. He took forever looking at filters, talking about apertures, checking out lighting etc. I would get so bored that I would go sit outside the shop and watch people. I swear he was in there for hours at times.. hahaha. I just came in to get a drink and noticed your video. I'm out working in the side yard. Thanks for sharing.. till next time.. byeeee 💝🌼💝
It sounds like Sketchers could be a good idea then? I think at a young age I'd have been bored in the camera shop too! 😁
@@PlanetImo .. My sketchers are not water proof. I think for your style of walks/hikes that an ankle height and waterproof are your best friends. I have worn mine in the rain, and they were good, but I don't walk through the puddles and water soaked ground like you sometimes do. I have rubber boots for that. ha
Ahhh! Thanks. :¬)
Wow, look at Cardiff looking so much more normal. Love it.
I liked for you those hiking shoes with purple! : )
A quick stop-gap, until you get your new shoes sorted, is to put a small plastic bag over your foot before putting it in your shoe (one without safety holes in it). It won't stop the shoe getting soaked through of course, but saves you feet from getting soggy and cold. 😉
Oh yes! I forgot about that - a top tip! Thanks, Tink. :¬)
Thanks for taking us shopping with you around Cardiff it was so lovely to see it again. I will make an effort to go again soon 😍
Aw, you're welcome and thank you so much for watching. :¬)
Gosh! That’s looks exhausting. All that walking around and you didn’t seem to buy much. Glad you enjoyed it. Can’t say I’ve missed going to the shops cos I’ve always done it as little as possible.
What a fab market, reminds me a bit of the one I visited in Loule portugal a couple of years ago.
Ooooh sounds lovely!
Wooh! This is a long one! Just had lunch, did everything I need to do today - let's sit down and watch this! :)
An epic!
Nothing wrong either being particular about what you wear. I always end up buying very similar styles.
Glad it's not just me! 🤣
I love old cameras.
I love looking at old gadgets of all sorts.
I absolutely adore Cardiff, a fantastic city. Always great for shopping. As for footwear in the future try the Adidas shop in mcarthur glen bridgend and if you can try to get some Adidas terrex shoes/boots, i can't recommend them highly enough. Good video 👍
Wait. You’ll begin indoor dining again?! WOW! We are just hoping for outdoor dining soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Really miss out of the home dining, and tired of picking up food to go- it’s just not the same, is it.....
😄😄 Do we not all hum that same tune the same way when we see an Elvis? lol
I actually was shopping right there with you. Haven't done much of that around here. I am looking forward to the day that cash in the hand meets up with a real store being open.
That is a serious camera shop!
I suspect I'll be back now I have a camera/tech/gadget addiction!
With as much walking, sometimes it's worth it to spend a little more I think. Nothing worse than sore feet 🐾
Aaaaah, it’s all so nice. I’m really enjoying my shopping trip, Imo. 😀
Ooooo, I could have helped you in the facial area. If only I’d really been there shopping, sigh. lol
I love those very tactical looking type of hiking boots - as long as they're water proof and not too heavy, I'd buy them. Wish I could get them in children's sizes though, could save me some $$$ :)
It would!!
Wow an actual Fossil store. They shut ours down here.
Ohhh look at all those books!!
I remember walking by Spillers records! But I remember it was closed that day because it was a bank holiday, so I just looked through the window to see what they had
Aw, shame!
Darn it. I already had dinner Imo and now I'm hungry again.. I will have to look into that brand. My hikers are Merrell or Keen. Done me right over the years.
❤️good video. Continue on your road on getting the silver play button
Aw, thank you! x
Cardiff market was on my list of places to go when I went to Cardiff in 2018 but unfortunately I just didn't have enough time :(
Next time!
Folding toothbrushes will keep the bristles from getting bits stuck in them from the bottom of your bag. 😁
Ah, now that's a thought. :¬) Thanks!
Yeah Imo hits the town!!
Yippeee!!!
When you said you wore size 5 I thought my gosh, how small IS Imo?!?! Until I remembered the UK sizing 🤦♀️ 😆
If you don't really like the walking boots you could always try Solomons trainers they have good support and comfy and good grip on them to and look like trainers rather than walking shoes :)
Thanks, Anna! :¬)
Ah yes the Burger King! Thanks for that shot Imo! :)
I did that for you!
Enjoyed your shopping expedition imo .me and my daughter used daughter used to shop until I dropped .used to end up sat down
Whoops made a mistake imo !! Cant deleted my text text I just sent you .but really did enjoy your shopping trip . Shop until you drop 😁thanks sooo much for this video X

The pandemic was dark days hope we never have another one 🤞🏻
A camera store, with inventory, and open. Be still my racing heart. I would need a chaperone going in there. Or someone to hold my purse far away from me.
I have never been a huge shoe shopper. If I could find a pair of black flats or ankle boots that fit, it would be smart of me to buy 10 pairs and just be done with it.
Nice ❤️
Thanks 😁
Are there any stairs or lifts in Cardiff arcades because I don't like moving staircases? I have no sense of balance and I'd fall off. It actually happened once in the London Underground!
Oh is the polarising filter the one that does the effect that you mentioned in my vlog. The sharp front and then blured background
No - it filters out glare from brightness.
Lol make up is rather alien to me! Unless it's eye shadow lol
😊
Hi, Thanks for you the video. I have an admission from Bedfordshire University Luton and Cardiff University. I am confused about which city is better in terms of finding a part job, cost, safety. Could you please help me out with this?
Uh oh! Gopro weather!
Yup!
Can you get me some vest tops please Imo, while you are there. Thanks xx
OK - ha ha!
Too bad about the rain.
I know! Argh!
We got kenzies school shoes from ditchman and they lasted just over a month 😡🤬
Oh my gosh!!!!
Those shoes are nice. Shame they are not in your size.
Was just my luck!
