American Family Exploring England | Village Driving - Snettisham Park - Deer - Tearoom Lunch

[@thewealduk9802]

You have mastered UK driving, well done. Narrow roads lead to the best places. I dont mind the word 'quaint' coming from appreciators like you fine people.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you. We agree fully love all the less traveled routes to find wonderful hidden gems this lovely country has to offer. We definitely are so thankful for all our opportunities to travel and share with you all. We appreciate your kindness and support! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@Loroths]

It is definitely true that the road less travelled can lead to amazing places that other Brits, much less foreigners know nothing about (and you don't have to pay). Since a young child my parents would take us exploring in woods and forests or find small places with hidden lakes, canals, ruins...there's a lot to see that many know nothing about. Liked the video.

[@daveyr7454]

LOL, the old boy is reeling off his routine talk about antlers and so on, and no one’s taking a blind bit of notice :)

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It was a great time. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@tonyalovett9129]

it's fun to watch your family going around England. My husband was in the Air Force also. RAF Lakenheath was our 1st oversea together and our oldest daughter was 18 months old when moved from USA for our 4 years our 2nd daughter was born at the Lakenheath base hosp.

[@raystewart3648]

So really your 2nd daughter is British.............that must make a good conversation with some back in the US. Nationalities are where one was born not to whom one was born from.

[@tonyalovett9129]

@@raystewart3648 yes she has a US birth certificate and British birth certificate.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

How wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing with us. We're so thankful to have you come along with us on this adventure. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@iankelly5387]

Terrific video, looks like a very cool experience feeding the deer. Your drives around the Norfolk area always look great, you've got a nice part of the country to explore. Looking forward to the next one! Have a great day.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We're so glad we could take you long with us. This was such a cool experience for all. We highly recommend the park and food. Thank you for all the support. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@peckelhaze6934]

I had two hedgehogs come through my cat flap last year to steal the cat biscuits. They have been in hibernation over the winter, no idea where, somewhere in the garden. They will be back soon. Nature is awakening from its slumber here in the UK. I like 'quaint' it is a lovely term and apt to the UK.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Oh no, hopefully, the hedgehog didn't do any damage to your house. I can't imagine what I would do. I would probably laugh while calling Chris and the kids to help get it outside of the house. I love how natural is starting to wake up it's just so beautiful! Thank you for your time sharing with us and your continued support. We appreciate you and hope you have a wonderful Friday! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@robert-hh2ft]

this was great!!!! thanks so much and loved the deer!

What a fab place , love the deer and how you were able to feed them and see them up close . 😊❤

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It was a fab place indeed. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@christoguichard4311]

Have you been down to Felixstowe yet Jess and Chris and family? It's a huge container port, with a cafe right next to where they unload the ships containers, a small ferry over to Harwich, a Napoleonic fortress (rotunda), and a lovely Victorian seaside resort, with pier, and lovely seafront cliffside gardens. Definitely worth a day trip in the summer...and not that far from you. 😊

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We have been there before, it was a quick trip and it was in the winter time at dusk timeframe. It was impressive to see then, we can only imagine what it would look like in the summer time. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@andykenny5674]

That looks like so much fun! You guys have got a wonderful affinity for animals haven’t you? I can’t wait for you to see the wild ponies in the New Forest one day!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We do have an affinity for animals. New Forest sounds amazing. It sounds like when we saw the Bison South Dakota. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@davidmartin3947]

Hey guys. Hire a boat on the Norfolk Broads, preferably in the spring, not the height of summer when it is more crowded. Only a few hundred pounds for a boat on which you can all sleep, no experience needed, way easier than navigating canals, and you can moor up beside many of the pubs for your evening meal before moving off to moor overnight! The centre is Wroxham, which is about an hours drive from RAF Lakenheath, which I assume is near where you are. Google boat hire there. Enjoying your adventures. Glad you are managing the roundabouts and narrow roads. Although I have no problem driving on the right hand side in France etc I would not fancy the US much, due to the omission of an amber 'get ready' light at the traffic lights!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That is a great recommendation for the Norfolk Broads. We will look into that soon if we can. Sounds like a blast. Also, we do use the amber 'get ready', but only on race tracks lol. But seriously, we could use them in normal traffic. We have come to enjoy them.

[@paulinejackson8105]

I love the red deer, and have also seen them up close while on a collage trip, they are beautiful animals, loved watching you interact with the other animals too . enjoyed the video guys, and look forward to many more .

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to bring more in the future. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@johnclements6614]

"Quaint' is ok now and then. Its when it is said about everything. There are many other words to use. That certainly looks like a good place to visit.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Fair point, thanks for the clarification. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@danielhillier7417]

I'm not too far from there down in Suffolk. East Anglia is a lovely part of the country.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It is indeed. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

We're so glad you were able to come along with us and experience such a wonderful day with us. It was so much fun being able to explore even more of this beautiful country. We are truly blessed to have the opportunity to share with some of the most amazing people in the world. We're so thankful for all of our support! Have a wonderful Sunday. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@gaelsomerville5163]

Another great video guys. Glad you had fun. In summer the beaches around Snettisham are also great. You were in good company as not only the King and Queen were in Sandringham but Prince William and Catherine were at their house on the Norfolk estate over half term. They are often seen in the local shops between Kings Lynn and Sandringham as well as around the beaches in the area.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That is pretty awesome. We do not pay too much attention to the royal family, however when he said the King was there it was pretty cool to learn. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@peterdubois4983]

I lived in East Anglia for many years. Landscape artist country. Try to visit Saffron Walden if can. Lavenham is another beautiful town also. History plus beautiful countryside you can't go wrong. Nice to see Americans driving on the proper side of the road.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We will look into Saffron Walden. We did enjoy Lavenham. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@wonhung]

You should also try the beaches there from Hunstanton to Heacham and Wells - They are huge. Just watch the tides as they can sneak around the back of you on some of the beaches. As a kid I used to go Cockling along those beaches & take them back to Aunt Liz in Snetshum (Snettisham) for cooking then the whole family would have a big seafood feast of Cockles, Whelks & Winkles. Great Summers they were.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We went there in the summer last year, you are right it is a place to see. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@shellyandtimbell9574]

I live in the next village to snettisham.its lovely and quiet.

If you have not visited a centre with birds of prey I can recommend it. You will learn so much about raptors and may get the chance to have one fly to you.

[@margaretflounders8510]

I'm not sure but many places had to shut down, due to bird flu..They may have recovered though, by now..

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That is a great idea. It would be very interesting especially to see the differences we have in the United States compared to the United Kingdom. Thanks for the idea, watching, and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@gibsonms]

6:50 sometimes you’ll approach a roundabout and it will seem like the exit you want is “past 12 o’clock” so you’ll take the right lane. But the sign (like the one at 6:38) might show the exit is at 12 o’clock so you should take the left lane. So just a heads up that the sign on approach tells you which lane to take - and not the actual position of the exist on the roundabout itself.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thanks, we didn't think about the 12 o'clock position before but that makes sense. We look for the lane indicator on the lanes or signs, but we will add that one as we continue to travel. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@gibsonms]

@@DaydreamersBarn no probs! Just sorts out the faff of working out where to position yourself. It really is awesome to see you guys so comfortable here!

[@RonSeymour1]

Another great day out. With the help of an excellent video, it was as if I were there. The deer were magnificent, unlike the non-native muntjac deer. If you ever visit any more petting zoos be very careful to sanitise your hands during and after. Several people, particularly children have had severe salmonella poisoning or E.coli transmitted from infected animals from their droppings. I would imagine that the farm had sanitising stations as that is not the publicity they want. On a lighter note, if you are driving in deer country at night, watch out for deer. They rarely have tail lights on. Very skilful and courteous driving.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Even though it was a little chilly, we still washed our hands before and after. That is a great point though. Also, the farm has plenty of stations and signs letting you know you need to wash your hands too. We will continue to be on the look out, amazing creatures, but get blinded and freeze in headlights. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@davidsissons3299]

Fun video, and a wonderful part of England. Looking forward to your thoughts on Cotswolds, Peak and Lake district and beyond. The UK has a real mix, all within a days drive.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That is one thing that we appreciate is the closeness comparatively speaking. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@robharris8844U]

Red deer 🦌 are the type Robin Hood and his Merry men "stole" from King John to feed the poor ( and themselves) You appear to have no apprehension using roundabouts 😁👍

[@raystewart3648]

Condescending is the word Quaint people say. I am not one of them. British here and I love that word. I am not sure of the exact word that would be used by us Brits in the US, maybe Fat or Wide or Gigantic in terms of cars, houses, streets, malls and so on. Cute is a good word for our Villages but to some that is to Condescending as well. You will always upset some people no matter what you say.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We use the word as words of endearment. Definitely not in a bad or disrespectful manner. Thank you for sharing. Really appreciate your time, and we hope you have a lovely day! Cheers 🤍 Jess and family x

[@alexshapley8331]

👍 I'm wondering if you will get back home to the USA and suddenly notice how wide and straight the roads are...

Have a lovely evening and a great Sunday. Lots of love. ♥ xx.

I hope your kids are getting to experience more age appropriate activities, while here in UK. My parents moved to rural Warwickshire when I was a teen - fantastically tediously dull! The first YT channel I followed were also deployed here, and one of their teens was competing in US style cheerleading events around England - I didn't even know that was a thing. If I was a teen lad, I'd rather be doing mountain bike trails, than visiting a tearoom! I'm just feeling sorry for him!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Oh, that is the location Shane picked for us to enjoy as a family. He wanted to see and experience the deer here in England. He's a big animal lover, and the Tearoom was just our lunch as a family. Shane said there was no need to feel sorry for him. He loves history, animals and food all the thungs he experiences on our outings.... 😏 Cheers 🤍 Jess x
