Thank you for your kind comments, I have travelled widely but I love this island. As a family, you have prospered here because of your positivity and willingness to engage with our culture.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Most definitely, we love learning for you all. Our life would be so dull if we hadn't embraced this wonderful culture! We love being open-minded and love to embrace change for our lives, which will only be enhanced by this experience. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a kind comment. 🤍 Jess x

[@clearlynotwoke4929]

Love your positive videos about the U.K. 😊

[@DaydreamersBarn]

I'm so glad you enjoy our videos. We definitely try to share positive and uplifting content. This world needs more kindness. So I try and be a light to someone else. Thank you so much for your kindness and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

[@chrishall197]

You may have been already but The Swan at Lavenham has a great bar with original signatures of WW2 airmen who served in the area plus memorabilia, it's fascinating. It is genuinely lovely what you say about our little island. The bond that is provided by the fact the US still bases her military here is real and enduring. People from the US who would otherwise never come here get to see our culture, and it is great to hear what you love as often we Brits take these things for granted (we love to play things down don't we!) I hope when you do have to return home you will have the UK in your heart and you will visit often! 😊

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you for your recommendation on Pub! We truly appreciate this opening to learn and explore this slice of heaven (as I call it). So, to be able to share our thoughts and lives with you all, thanks to KZbin! We will continue our channel whenever we have to return to the US. Will take you along for our beautiful (Yoop) as we call it the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I agree that Lamb is growing on me and ranks up there compared to other meats. It's not as normalize as it is here, which I don't understand why. 💯 I will always carry this wonderful place in my heart forever! Thank you for your support. Your time watching and commenting on this video. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x

We live in deep Suffolk in an ancient house and love to show it to US visitors. Every 4 years US veterans return to an airbase nearby, they remember having ice cream in our kitchen while they were in service. Awesome ❤

[@DaydreamersBarn]

@ratowey we could but own a small holding as it's called here, back in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. When I become rich, 💯 we will have property here to come and stay as often as I wish. This is our second home for sure! Thank you for your comment and for watching the video. Cheers 🤍 Jess

[@claregale9011]

Thankyou for your lovely kind words , yes wool was our biggest asset in the 12th century , I live in a fairly rural area in Kent and we have sheep around our local farms all grazing happily . We not a bad bunch are we 😊❤

[@DaydreamersBarn]

You all are definitely not a bad bunch at all. We absolutely love you guys! I am gonna have to find a shepherd to learn from! Have learned a little bit about the sheeps wool and all different types of breeds. We are trying to figure out what would be the best breed for our climate when we move back. Thank you for your wonderful comment and for watching the video. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

Friendliness differs greatly from rural communities compared to city life. I've recently left London for a coastal community, and I was actually taken aback by complete strangers saying good morning to me. In London people barely look at each other, let alone talk to each other. Different planets culturally.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

I completely understand! It's definitely like that in the Big Cities in the US as well. Thank you so much for watching and leaving this wonderful comment for me. Have a great day. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

[@johnsharp8632]

Your love for this country is plain to see and you are not the first. I own a lovely little book called 'A Suffolk Summer' which was written by John T Appleby from Arkansas, who was stationed in Suffolk with the US Army Corps between 1942 and 1945. John wrote of his love for Suffolk and left a bequest in his will to Bury St Edmunds Cathedral. The lovely rose garden at the Cathedral is dedicated to his memory.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you that is just fabulous. I will have to look into that book i've never read it. Thank you for the recommendation. We truly appreciate your time watching our video and leaving us this wonderful comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess and Chris

[@tracieoliver2307]

Hi Jess and of course Chris and family! you are the very best friends anyone could wish for and you are all very appreciative of us all in the UK! I am sure you would bring a smile to any country you guys visit but when you do eventually leave to go back home it will be a very sad loss to us all here in the UK! The vlogs are brilliant and very honest and I respect that! Please keep the vlogs coming and please take care.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Cheers, Tracie! You're so very kind, and we're so thankful for you. Vlogs will continue even when our time in the UK comes to an end. Thankfully, that's not just yet! Thank you for the continued support! 🤍 Jess & Family x

[@ed.barker7069]

Get a hold of the book Humble by Nature by Kate Humble ( she is/was a TV presenter). Her and her husband lived in London but bought a smallholding in Wales and learned how to keep Sheep, Lambs, Chickens etc. She now runs weekend courses that help others who wish to do this. She also has a recipe book that uses all her farm produce. Enjoyed this vid and glad you like our way of life. Cheers.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

I'm so glad you enjoy our videos! Definitely love the way of life here, for sure. will try and find that book. Thank you for that recommendation. We truly appreciate your time watching and leaving a comment! 🤍 Jess & Chris

[@peckelhaze6934]

Glad you have enjoyed your stay, to date. All these things you have mentioned are mostly take for granted by us Brits. Nice we are reminded of these.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed this video. Thank you so much! Just like most places, when it becomes something you're accustomed to, it can be overlooked, not a bad thing at all. We just love sharing our thoughts and all the words things about this slice of heaven. Thank you for your comment and time watching our channel. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x

[@Laser2120]

Best place to learn something is the pub ! Its recommended to go "learn" something at least a few times a week, Friday and Saturdays evenings are best times to do some serious "learning" 😉

[@DaydreamersBarn]

I agree with you, my friend! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead. Happy holidays! Thank you for your kindness and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess

[@gaelsomerville5163]

Glad you are not letting the nasty trolls get you down. Keep up with your videos as they are really interesting. Glad you are coping with the dismal weather we have had this year and our horrible short days over winter. If you are here next summer, do try and get to one or two of the County shows as you will find lots of animal husbandry and things that may interest you for when you have your smallholding the the States (we will look forward to seeing videos of how you're getting on with it when you get home).

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you so much for your continued support! It means so much to us. Would love to attend one of those shows we would learn so much. Can't wait to show you our little farm one day. It will be so much fun to take you all along. I will definitely miss being on this slice of heaven for sure! Thank you for the recommendation! Thank you for your time watching and commenting on this video. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x

[@MartinT5600]

I've really enjoyed your video's, guys. Look forward to watching new ones when you're back in the US. I'd be really interested to see little communities and villages over there and the countryside. Good luck.

We (and I'm in Peterborough) used to have snow here but it's become far less frequent throughout my life, going from every winter to rare. It was never as deep as you described, but it was inches every winter through to the 90s when we began skipping years. Now we have squirrels running around in January and it's not even that cold! Nature is out of sorts.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

My landlord talks about the snow often like it was a normal thing. Unfortunately, not anymore. I definitely miss my beautiful snow. Thank you for your support. Your time watching and commenting on this video. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x

[@RoyCousins]

Fuel economy: don't forget that an American gallon is sightly smaller than a gallon in the UK (1 gal US = 1.2 gals US) Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That is correct, but it's still significantly more. Even with that difference. We appreciate your comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

[@robertwhite952]

Somewhere good to visit would be Jamaica Inn made famous by Daphne de Mauriers novel of the same name. A lot of people visiting the UK think it is just a fictional Inn. IT is located on Bodmin Moor and was built in 1750. Great historical place.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you for the recommendation. We'll have to look into that! We're so grateful for your insight into some wonderful historical places to visit. Thank you for your time watching our video. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

I think Jess and Chris have spent long enough here to know that wherever they sojourn there`ll be a little bit of England there in them, somewhere. Not just England, but the UK.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That is no lie! We will carry England/ UK with us everywhere we go in our hearts! Thank you for your comment and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

@@DaydreamersBarn You must, of course, not forget Europe as a whole. I went to the `States from this old world in search of the new - and was glad to find it ( not least on the grounds that I don`t like being in the air, don`t laugh ! ). My next `dare` is to have a dash into the east - perhaps Istanbul / Constantinople ( The City of Constantine the Great - who I think was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in about 330 AD in York - 40 miles away from where I live ). But damn that - I just have to go into the East. God speed and farewell ! x

[@chrisaskin6144]

The UK is full of genuine and generous people who only wish to take you and your lovely family to their hearts, and want to make your stay amongst us the most memorable (for all the right reasons) it could ever be. Once you're back in the States, you'll be very much missed by us. Ignore the haters, they're very sad people who really need to take stock of themselves and alter it for the better, instead of spewing out the vile bile that they do towards others. On the subject of sheep, I'm not a sheep person (inasmuch as I'm not any kind of a shepherd, NOT that I don't like sheep), but don't forget, they'll need shearing once a year - I don't know how many sheep shearers there are in America. As a parting shot, did you see the recent story about Fiona, the loneliest sheep in the world? She was rescued after she had been stranded at the bottom of a cliff all by herself for at least a couple of years. Nobody knew she was there until someone who was kayaking saw her.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Oh dear friend! I will definitely miss being here exploring and learning so much for you all. This is definitely my home away from home! If I ever become a millionaire, I would definitely buy a summer home to visit often! 😉 We are definitely doing lots of research on sheep care, especially during the Michigan winter. Sad for poor Fiona! I am so thankful she was found. Thank you. will look that store up. Appreciate your time watching and leaving this wonderful comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x

[@penname5766]

Gosh I didn’t realise. Even in London, I have only paid around 130-150 GBP for a haircut and colour and I thought that was daylight robbery 😂. Obviously, there are high-end boutiques you can go to that style the hair of the rich and famous, and probably pay five times that amount, but that’s a choice. Now I’m out in the sticks, and pay about 100 GBP all in.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It's outrageous the prices back home. Maybe there are places where you can find it cheaper in the US but not as much as here.. Thank you for your time sharing with us. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x

If you like old public houses you should visit the Royal Standard of England in Buckinghamshire. There has been an ale house on the site since about the fifth century. It is truly remarkable and the food is fantastic!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Truly appreciate your recommendation and insight. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

[@davidmartin3947]

Hey Jess! If you want some insight into keeping sheep on a smallholding in the US, you can hardly do better than get in contact with the Mac and his lovely family who post on 9B4M. They are from the US and currently have a place with extensive grounds in Leicestershire where they keep sheep amongst other animals, and had a small farm in Georgia(?) previously. Like them, you would enjoy the county fairs here too, where you will meet loads of folk with similar interests and great experience!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Fabulous, thank you for the wonderful recommendation! I will definitely check them out. I would love to learn from others. Hope you have the most amazing week! Thank you for your time and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

[@davidmartin3947]

@@DaydreamersBarn I am sure that Mac will be kindness itself in seeking to help you. He has the most wonderful, calm voice and should do voiceovers, which expresses what he is about! His wife Blair tells us that when she was pregnant with her girls, is they were kicking, Mac would put his hand on her stomach and they would immediately calm down! Dunno if that worked with the boys......;-)

[@mej6519]

a few lamb recipes to concider, grilled lamb chops. slow cooked neck of lamb stew. roast leg of lamb(minted of course). shoulder of lamb is another great roasting dish. if you let the sheep age a bit you'll get mutton, and mutton stew/cassarole is lovely(not to everyones tastes tho). lambs liver with bacon and onion gravy with mash potatoes and veggies.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Fabulous, thank you so much for the recommendations on the lamb recipes! Sounds all yummy.. Thank you for the continued support! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@bill-wd7zs]

Great stuff as usual, thanks Jess. Probably the best lamb I have ever tasted is the Gower salt marsh lamb from S. Wales. I've only ever had it a few times as a treat because it is very expensive but the flavour is outstanding . I've just grabbed a snippet of the lambs diet from their website. This marsh contains a natural abundance of Samphire, Sorrel, Sea lavender and Thrift, not only a tremendous source of nourishment but delicious on its own. Maybe your land back home has something special that sheep will thrive on?

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you so much! We're looking to have a holiday in Wales sometime. We will have to see if we can find Salt Marsh Lamb when we go. Thank you for the recommendation! We are definitely researching to ensure that sheep with thrive on our farm. We will also be looking at what type would be best for our families' needs. Thank you so much for your insight and information. Appreciate your time watching and leaving us this insightful comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x

[@johnclements6614]

I would be surprised if you can get some smaller vehicles with better mpg in the US. If you have a barn to store a vehicle in, you could have a summer vehicle and a more robust vehicle for when there is two foot of snow. If you can get an old style pick up that were around 30 plus years ago. They often have more room in the bed for moving stuff on your small holding, do better miles, easier to repair but do not have all the bells and whistles. If there is two feet of snow on your pastures you will have to keep your sheep inside in the winter. You will have to grow silage, hay etc. You should not promise to answer all the comments.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We're definitely looking at bringing a UK spec car home. Will be a summer car for sure. We have a 3 car garage back in the US, so we have the space. Have started looking into what the sheep will need in our climate to thrive. We will not get them if they suffer at all. We will always do what's best for our animals/ family. I definitely understand that. I will always do my best to read and try to respond when possible. Thank you for your time watching and leaving a comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

Hi Jess, love your videos and the way you have embraced our culture. I just googled the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and was quite shocked when I looked at the average temperatures in the winter in Marquette which is apparently the largest city in UP Michigan. Wow that is cold. Where is the US are you from originally?

With respect to you wondering what sheep farming is like, have you watched the Amazon series, Clarkson's Farm? Both series are excellent and very funny, but in the first one he starts sheep farming for the first time, which is both funny and quite informative for somebody who is thinking of taking it on.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We have watched Clarkson's farm and absolutely loved it. We have visited the farm as well. Unfortunately, when we went it was closed...

If you like to read I cannot recommend highly enough two books by Bill Bryson that you should not only enjoy but understand better than most. The first Is 'Notes from a small island' which is about his experiences and culture shocks when first arriving to live in Britain after moving from Iowa in the States. The second is 'Notes from a big country' which is the reverse after he moves back to the States after 20+ years. Both are hilarious and full of interesting little anecdotes as well as lots of historical facts. Notes from a big country goes under a different title in America I believe it is called 'I'm a stranger here myself'

I can tell how well you have settled here and I think it’s because you “get us” as a nation of oddballs with our weird and unique “way of life” that only those of us who are born here or have lived here forever understand! 😁 Our fascination with discussing the weather; our propensity for offering someone a cup of tea be it a happy event a sad event, a major disaster … you name it, a cuppa will sort you out; that we greet people with “hello, you all right?” And the answer back is “yes, you all right?” 😄 no further questions asked - that’s it, because you don’t really want to know their health life! and that we have this way of insulting and taking the Mickey out of our best friends and the ones we love the most and if we DON’T like you, you will get just a polite conversation and a fixed smile. We like to queue for things and the queue “law” is strictly followed, anyone who dares to jump the queue or pushes to the front - well………😳😱 they will get the hard stare and the tut tut noise from those waiting in the line! 😁 Once a long stay visitor is able to just accept our daft ways and most likely also adopt them too, they then become “one of us” and will welcomed everywhere. We have over a 1,000 years of doing things that people from other lands find strange and it will never change! So glad and happy you have fitted in so well, now, would you like a cuppa and a piece of cake? 🤣🤣

Because fuel is so costly here Jess, most people look for cars that usually do at least 30 to 35 miles per gallon. But as you've found with your Mini, some cars will do more than that.... And yes Jess, most of us here are a friendly bunch! It's only a small island, so it's better for us all if we get on ok!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Hello friend We will definitely be back for holidays when we have to return to the US. We love it here and all the people. It is just a beautiful slice of heaven. This little island is for sure one of my favorite places.. Thank you for your time watching and leaving us a wonderful comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

Lamb definitely has to be my favourite of all the regular & popular meat produce in the UK (Beef, Pork, Chicken, Turkey being the rest). Glad you’re enjoying it. I gather Lamb isn’t in huge demand in the USA going by your chats. Any reason why ? are sheep not suited to most of the USA due to climate and grazing reasons or is it because it’s simply just not been made available to the consumer. If it’s the latter you could definitely find a niche in the market with your farm ambitions when you get home 🤔

[@DaydreamersBarn]

I agree that Lamb is growing on me and ranks up there compared to other meats. It's not as normalize as it is here, which I don't understand why. Would love to be able to share it with others so they can appreciate it like we have. I also want to try sheeps milk as well not easy to find I'm learning. Thank you for your support and time watching/ commenting on this video. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x

@@DaydreamersBarn How about running a local commercial AD on tv.....BAA BARN BAA RAN 🐑🐑🐑 by the Beach boys as the background music.....ooooh that was either genius or painful, depending on ones sense of humour 😂......

Good point, having lived in the States, fuel economy of cars is a biggee ...I suppose when you work it out and how we use cars in a small island v a large country like the US we probably spend less on fuel ⛽️...😉❤️ xx

jess our climate is very un usual for our latitude. london is 54 degress north of the equator furthur north than moscow and on the same latitude as top of hudson bay in canada we get mild snow and ice free winters and our ports are ice free all year round the reason why is the hotest and most powerfull ocean current on the plant the gulf stream from the carribean and the gulf of mexico and this tremendous rainfall we have had is when dead hurricans and tropical storms get in the gulf stream and the prevailing winds are from the south west which helps aswell our northern latitude gives britain its long summer daylight hours and its very short winter daylight hours in east anglia there are 9 hours 45 mins more daylight on the longest day of the year 21st june than on the shortest day of the year 21st december

Fuel Economy, Remember, a British Gallon is 4.546 litres whilst a US Gallon is only 3.785 litres, this probably accounts for most of the difference.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Yes, we're aware. We do the calculation ourselves to see what it would be in the US. Thank you for your comment and time watching our video. Cheers Jess & Chris

$200 for a hair cut etc, bloody hell. In the village i live in its £36.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

My local hairdressers it's £26 for wash and cut , and that gone up it was £20

[@DaydreamersBarn]

@claregale9011 That is just wonderful! Because everything is getting so expensive now. To still be able to treat yourself is definitely needed now a days. I'm not looking to spend over $200-300 for a service at all when we have to leave. Makes me sick to my stomach to think about. Thank you for the comment. 🤍 Jess x

My daughter pays £70-90 for a cut and colour - usually balayage. She does my hair for free just how I like it!

[@Cymru85]

Us Brits only make fun of people we like, not sure if it's the same in the states.

[@captaintorch983]

Gosh Jess, your cars are gas guzzlers! I get over 60 from my (late wife's) Renault, and about 55 from my Skoda. Mind you, I think Chris fancies himself as a NASCAR driver! A long standing friend of my wife's comes to cut my hair, £9 but I give her £10. Free chat as well! Your talk of returning is becoming more frequent, is it coming soon? Hope not ! x

[@DaydreamersBarn]

No kidding, it is ridiculous! Chris would definitely be a NASCAR driver if he could, lol.... That's a no for me. Haha Right, I love the reasonably priced services here! Thank you so much for watching and leaving this wonderful comment, friend! Not that me know of. Just want to be completely transparent that, unfortunately, it will happen. It will be once the military is done with Chris. Because he will retire from the US Air Force in England, how cool is that? Cheers 🤍 Jess x
