Hello everyone, welcome or welcome back to my channel, my name is Isabel Selene.
I post videos on Wednesday and Sunday at 6pm every single week and welcome to today's video.
We're just on a lovely countryside woodland walk.
We just shot a campaign for a UGC campaign that I've got coming up.
We're going to have a lovely walk in the countryside and I hope you enjoy the video.
Just at mum's house and she's going for all the photos. I want to show you guys some of
the pictures of me when I was younger so I'm going to show you. Are they? Are there any of
me and James when we were kids? Yeah loads. Oh I need to change, I know you're watching.
Looking at these, what I've done is I've took them out of the photo albums you see. Yeah.
Because photo albums are big and bulky and I've put everything. You put them all in the little
wallets. I know where that is you see. You could just label them so you know where they are.
Yeah but I know where they are, it's all written on the back of the paper.
But this one reminds me of the first time I've seen, I can see me and you in that one even though
I've got dark hair. Mum what's your necklace? They're teeth. Yeah I've got an holiday probably.
Adam thinks, can you see the resemblance there where I've got dark hair?
I actually can yeah. It's like you know what, when Adam was shooting videos of me earlier,
it's like when I do certain facial expressions I can see me and you. Yes. I'll tell you what the
hair style that colour does for you, makes you look classy. Yeah you know what, James said I
look like, was it James that said it? Old money style or something. Yeah. Old money. Yeah old
money. Like some of them, you remind me of that woman again, what was her name in the 1940s,
she had blonde hair. I can't remember her name now. But you've got that sort of
look, like old glamour. I don't mean you're old, I mean the 1940s glamour puss sort of thing.
Me at my holy communion. How old was I then Mum actually? Ten. Ten? Yeah. Was I? Yeah. Was I?
I think that's the age of nine. No. Or was it nine? No I was, no because it was before I
changed school. I must have been about eight surely. Oh yeah. You know I wasn't with her then.
I don't remember. I was up with two mates for me. Is this me and James? Oh I remember this outfit.
The little green skirt. Yes. A little embroidery on it. So cute. You haven't seen these have you
babe actually? Probably not. Some of these pictures, look at this, it's an image of his
dad. I have to say that James, it's one of his daddy when he was, oh you can only just see that
one, that was in Ireland. It's 26 but there's one that looks more like James. Yeah it does look like
James. Is this the park? That one, don't you think that was fecking James? Oh my god it does.
Sort them out when I move like and give James the ones that. Oh my god these are the parties we had.
Yeah. You know what I remember playing pin the tail and the donkey but I always win because I
cheated and looked like the eye mask. I remember this little dress as well.
Was this when I was six? Oh yeah I was six there. It was Gabriel, my cousin.
And I always had them sausage rolls. Always had them. And that's just me at Stonehenge look.
Yeah I've been to Stonehenge. We stayed in the tent.
It was going on, look there's the team. These haven't changed that much. The tents might be a bit different but
I remember I couldn't get clean. That's why I weren't very good when you were going to that
me festival. I didn't like it. There's no washing facilities. Oh my god I remember this coat. Took
baby wipes from me remember. This little coat I remember that. This is me when I was nine months
old mum and I started walking. I could not believe it. She was only nine months old and she started
walking. Took her out in the garden. She raced the full length of the garden Adam at nine months
and got up onto the fecken high slide that I've got up there. A really big slide.
Climbed it up. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't wait to tell you dad when he'd come back.
He'd come down and he kept going up and down and up and down. You were only nine months there.
Big for nine months ain't ya? Oh thanks mate. Yeah she was. No no I'm being serious. You are big for nine months.
She was quite a big baby. She was only eight pounds. And then look at me now. Oh it makes me laugh when I see all the
kids at the garden though. You know how many we had look. That one there that's just a few.
That was James's invention. He made this thing on the sky didn't he? Yeah. Like I was saying to
Jamie the other day. Half a neighbour's kids ram on that garden. Yeah we always had all the kids around.
We used to have a parent come up. I used to see them go past this window and they'd say have you seen my
sisters? They're up the garden. We always had all the kids around the neighbourhood yeah.
Because we basically had an animal farm out the back with all the pets we had. How many is that?
There's a few more there. There were blooming loads. I remember that funny thing that James made. Yeah it was
We always were making dens. I had an actamel or whatever that was.
Or a yoghurt. What's that on my hand there? An actamel or something.
Fruit yoghurt things. Oh yeah. Frogger. You did it. You started off looking like your dad but you don't
now. Well you do a bit. I do. No I've got a mix of you and dad I should say. I think it depends on what
face I'm pulling. More so you look like your dad. Oh mummy looks so pretty now. Oh yes. And that fireplace.
Remember that fireplace. Still got it. Yeah. Me at Nan's house. You remember having a bit of a strop in that one?
Oh yeah. I reckon I've got a face like that. Shut up. Yeah sure you do don't you.
Oh dear. Oh this is at Nan's house isn't it? I remember them bricks actually.
And a little. Oh Sable. That was her first rabbit. Do you remember that playing room I made for your
birthday? Oh my god yeah. Did it all out. I remember the little the chocolate sweetie section we had as well.
Fired them all in there. And we had some good fun as kids. Yeah.
Oh Lizzie would be proud. My leopard print trousers.
Who hasn't changed at all. No hasn't at all has it? No. Because you'll inherit all these photos. So many
pictures of me and James. I love it. Do you remember the cakes you used to have? Yeah.
I remember this photo. Do you remember when I was younger mum I used to say that's not me in that
photo. Why? No do you remember when I used to say that? That's Leamington. I didn't think it was me. Did I? Yeah it's
Leamington on the little. Yeah I remember. But I remember when I was younger. I was like that's not me.
Yeah. Where was that? Warwick. Yeah they've still got that now haven't they?
No we used to always wash them. Didn't get you out of there.
What was James doing? He was like is he going to attack me with something.
Because you let the kids play in there didn't they? Yeah. An old-fashioned Victorian kitchen.
Oh me and Sheepy. Yes that's it. Yeah I love that one of you. Still got Sheepy.
Was it? Yeah I brought you home. You know what's funny? I still remember when we went to get Sheepy.
I do. I was five. I'm surprised I remember that far back you know. Still got Sheepy now but there's
less stuff in him. Me with my baker boy hat that I used to always wear sideways. I must have been
about what 11 there I think. I used to always wear them blooming elf ears. So we are back from
visiting my mom and I've got a toasty for lunch which we got from the costar too good to go which
was in my vlog. We had a we picked up one of them. A lot of the too good to go up sometimes.
And we're going to spend the afternoon on the sofa. I'm going to have a pure editing session.
That's a lot of the time you don't see me editing to be fair. So I've got loads of content to edit
from YouTube videos to reels to shorts and some UGC stuff. So yeah it's gonna be a busy afternoon
but I'm gonna enjoy this toasty. This vegan ham and cheese toasty and yeah have a nice chill
afternoon. I'm just gonna pop on the telly. The society like I'm in and out of watching it. I'm
not like entirely hopes on it compared to the recruit what we were watching because if it's
not like action-packed I'm just like get bored. I end up sitting on my phone so I'm just in and
out of watching that. We're probably going to watch a film later as well. I'm gonna eat this and we're gonna edit.
Yes chef?
Saucepans? Yes chef. Am I sous chef? You're assistant. You're head assistant to that.
Head assistant. We don't normally often roles but see what happens.
So we're just about to make a dinner. Chef Adam is in charge. So we're gonna make a roast dinner.
Just putting some washing up away. You can hear some banging about. I've just been editing for
what? Almost got everything done that I wanted to for today. Editing wise but I've still got
more to do anyway. We're gonna put dinner on and then carry on editing. So we're gonna
do the roast potatoes. Adam's head chef on roast potato duty and I am doing what?
Am I doing veg? What am I doing then? Stuffing balls? You're prepping. I'm prepping.
I'm just assistant then. I'm demoted.
We'll use the same potatoes. So we do potatoes first. Yeah. Boil it first then. Yeah.
So that's what we need. And? The meat we don't need yet. A little bit of olive oil yeah.
Yes chef? I can't do that to do the meat. You'll have to use the metal one then. I'll do them ones
first I guess. Put a bit of country music on if you want. Right olive oil going in. Oh I
should have picked up some olive oil. No I won't cover the veg. We'll just use the same chopping
and I'll do stuffing. Balls.
