hello guys good afternoon I'd say it was morning but its not and we went out last
night and I got very drunk and it is now 2 p.m. and I'm just about ready to drive
definitely sobered up now we had McDonald's this morning was very good
but we are about to go on a little road trip to Leeds to go and see Alice Merton
we've booked a room for two nights so we're making a bit of a little kind of
weekend of it because it's sunday but yeah very excited I was listening to
Alice Merton in last week's vlog and very much enjoyed it and we're gonna
have a little road trip and listen to Newton Falkner because we got his well
you've got his new CD you didn't you very excited about it
so yeah I might do a little timelapse of me driving so I will fasten you to
the front of my car imagine if I actually like buttoned it to the outside
my car and and we will go yeah okay out the window
we have arrived at our hotel it's very nice downstairs and we've got free breakfast
always a must I do a little room tour so I am stood at the door, oh it says ay
up on the floor ay up duck so we're in an ibis styles hotel and this is the
room we got upgraded to a double bed because I'd accidentally booked a twin
room I rang them earlier and they just
upgraded us and there is a human and look at this it's like a little mural
thing of all the landmarks of Leeds oh my god there's plug sockets next to the bed
extra points and then through here got like a window the views just of a car
park and then little makeup station work station it's cool it's got
Yorkshire slang everywhere wardrobe area hairdryer bathroom and a double shower
well impressed with this and a bed look at how big the bed is is so good
yas queen I might make that the thumbnail
we're now in the Alchemist and I've never been to an alchemist so I felt
like I needed to I'm running low on energy at the minute
so I'm probably gonna one with a lot sugar and I think the drive mixed with the
handover is catching up on me but we've got a little blanket we're sat outside so
we can be nosy and the sun's behind us you can see it's very cute and I'm very
much appreciating the menu like whoever designed this you did good
we are in a place called, oh no what's it called here and it looks so good
we have very much got food babies now have you got a food baby? i think i've got food twins
we got the meerkat meal thing which I've come to love and obviously meerkat meals works sunday - thursday
so its perfect I think we're gonna go to junkyard golf now, I've actually been to junkyard golf before
but we're gonna go there cause I really want the boyf to see it and I've found out you get 50% student discount
and I still have unidays so you get some discount we love a bargain
the alchemist was so good I really wanna go back
aww mate that was so good
I lost very sad about it Oh No
good morning we are on our way to the Corn
Exchange but came to HomeSense because I have zero self-control and I love
HomeSense and we don't have a homesense in last week's vlog I was in TK Maxx this
week i'm here look what I found I went into our own in Doncaster and I
couldn't find one I think I'm gonna get it you know what I did not
realize how many posh shops Leeds has there's just so many little I think they're
called arcades that have posh shops in and as a Donnie Gill I don't see post
shops very often I'm really impressed actually it's very nice I'm just about
to go to the toilet which I don't know where I'm going
that's not the right way where are the normal toilets
oh god I think that way oh I just want the wrong way good I've been assured
that these toilets are really posh so only came up mainly just because I wanted
to see the posh toilets you can take a selfie before you go
and have a pee
the boy is looking at trainers I'm just drinking a bubble team living my best life
I was kind of hoping that there would be a high enough perch for my camera to go in here
but there isn't I have been gifted a book as a tripod I mean I'm getting
there hey we did it but we have had a chill a few hours resting up rested
our feet we've been out we realize we've been out and walking for six hours solid
so we came back we kind of exhausted all food opportunities devoured my tea
very upset though because I wanted a strawberry flavour and they had
run out so I got pomegranate flavor it wasn't the best choice but oh well I'm
tempted to get some trainers you know like just for everyday use I think
Hannah's converting me I understand the comfort and practicality of wearing
trainers all the time yeah I'm gonna change my top put my belt back on I took
my belt off I'm wearing the jeans that Hannah picked for that video as well but
they're really really baggy around the waist so you've gotta wear a
belt and then I'm gonna put a bum bag on because I think we're in I think the
whole place is standing where we're going for this gig so I don't want to be
pickpocketed so the bum bag that I bought years ago I'm making use for it
again years later
I can't believe how amazing you guys have been tonight thank you so much for
buying a ticket for going out of your way to come here tonight to be in the
crowd and just enjoying hopefully the concert this song is the very first song
we've ever released it talks about the fact that I've moved around 12 times
never really found one place I can call my home I wanna hear you sing as loud as
you can if you know the lyrics for the song
leeds you guys have been such a wonderful crowd that even even if I'm
not a hundred percent today I feel I owe you one last song but if I cry
during this song I'm not taking responsibility
alright guys so uh this song oh I don't know if anyone's ever realized this but
the reason I write songs is like they're like post-it notes I put on my fridge is
like Oh remember like don't take everything so seriously remember you
don't have any roots like so don't feel homesick literally like there's no these
just notes that I just put on my fridge and and this next one I do need a lot
and I feel like a lot of people could use this and it talks about taking life
less seriously and just enjoy the moment and enjoying every bit you can because
you only have one life
hey guys so I don't know if you can tell but I am literally crying after that
concert and it's so it was so good that me just start with that was like amazing Alice
Merton is incredible please please please go and listen to her song she's
on Spotify like buy albums do everything because I've just bought her record a
great model and I don't even have a record player so it looks like I need to
buy a record player but I couldn't not support her like I listened to her on
Spotify but buying the records another level isn't it so but yeah she
had a bit of a moment halfway through like a halfway through like a few songs
in and I think just her head and her thoughts in her head were getting in the
way and it like really touched a nerve and she like went off and said I'll be
back in a minute and then came back on chewing gum she said sometimes when she
gets nervous she physically is sick so she literally went off stage to be sick
and she came back home with gum in her mouth and said that's why this album's
called mint because mint flavored things is what gets her out or helps to calm
her down after that funny headspace and she was literally crying on the stage
its gonna make me cry again why
am I so pathetic um and it just really touched a nerve
and it kind of I don't know if it inspired me or I was just like yes girl and she
carried on she said a few times she wasn't 100% but I don't know I just kind
of admired it like no matter how much you think someone's got their shit
together they might not and she's kind of was honest about it and cuz I go
through the kind of same things
um it just touched a nerve yeah it was so good I think Alice is my girl crush
girl idol everything because I don't know it really really inspired me the
concert itself her as a singer was so so good like the crowd was going
crazy she said it's the first concert she's done up north
so I'm yeah its just really good I'll definitely be going back and the support
act as well what was his name Sion Hill Sion Hill its Irish yeah he is an Irish
guy we might have butchered it yeah but yeah he was amazing and I'll put both of
their like links and stuff down below so you can check them out but yeah I was
just this weird I was like dancing singing and crying I was looking at a
her like you're so amazing look just oh it was just such a strange mixture of
emotions and now I just want to go home and cry and I can't decide if it's
because I'm happy or sad or cuz I relate to her but yeah it was just yeah I've
never had emotions like this and I don't really know whats going on but tonight has been
amazing and now need to buy a record player
I can imagine we will be blasting out Alice Merton on the way home tomorrow
honestly it was so good
