Interesting fact about the hedgerows, UK Farmers are paid a subsidy by the Govt for the upkeep of their land, so keeping hedges trimmed, ditches cleared & footpaths maintained earns them money and it looks great. 😁

[@gibsonms]

Lol it’s about £14/ha so doesn’t make them much. But every little helps I spose.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That is an interesting fact, and yes every bit helps. Especially when we are talking about the farmers that produce so much for us all. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

The Washington family ancestral home is 10 miles from me in Washington County Durham - great day out. The family coat of arms is 3 stars over red and white horizontal stripes. It is embossed in the roof of the cloisters in Durham cathedral demonstrating how far back the family go in this area.

[@johnchallener]

Yes, I remember seeing his family coat of arms..I thought then it might have inspired the stars and stripes flag of the US

[@PatrickKelly-lz3pv]

The entrance gate to Washington old hall has two bald eagles sitting on the gate posts.

[@PatrickKelly-lz3pv]

Washington is in Tyne and Wear.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you for sharing! I will definitely look into that. We really appreciate your time. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

Clarksons Farm is by far the best show on TV, teally looking forward to S3. Weather was kind to you all today. Lovely drive, not long now until all the trees will be in leaf and it will look amazing & the lighter evenings. Nice trip out Jess. 🇬🇧🤝🏻🇺🇲👍🏻 Happy Easter to you & your Family. 🥚🐰

A Brilliant day out and I must say I didnt even know about Sulgrave manor and the link it played with the USA! Facinating and very interesting! You had a lovely day out as a family and I respect that you took us along to share ! Take care and thanks again for inviting us along! x

A brilliant day indeed. We are glad that you were able to enjoy it with us. Stick around for the next one. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

Hi guys, great video. I loved seeing Sulgrave Manor. If you ever go to the city of Bath, there is an American museum & gardens @ nearby, Claverton Manor, I think you’d enjoy. The museum remains a popular attraction, with well over 3 million visitors a year. 😀

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Bath is on the list. We will see if we cannot put that on it as part of the trip. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@JosephLovett-wy3kv]

You and your family are making wonderful memories. Taking every chance to explore and learn about the UK while there is a model we should all emulate. I wasn't aware of Sulgrave manor and missed a seeing it in person. Thanks Jess, Chris, Shane and Colette.

Hello, I enjoy watching your videos, and how much you enjoy the English countryside> Could I suggest a walk through a bluebell wood, as they are just starting to flower, you don't have to film the event, but just to see and smell them

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That sounds like a great suggestion, with or without filming. We will see if we cannot fit it in. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@Aikman94]

[@seeker1432]

Always feels so strange being in such places. Knowing how your walking spaces of people who,s existance has had a large impact on so many lives so long ago.

[@adamdalton3492]

I couldn't help but wander when they was leaving what Chris and Jess was thinking about , that road was more than likely taken by George Washington the last time he left his home although it would wouldn't of been tarmac lol

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It is crazy to think about things in that aspect. There are different areas in the US that have a lot of compacted history, much like London or other bigger cities. However, seeing the smaller more specific historical importance can be very impactful. Especially being in a different country related to your own country. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@DeadMenWalking2022]

Fascinating watching you guys going through my country, you just need some spring blossoms to brighten those roads up 👍😉

I don't know if you're aware of the JFK memorial at Runnymede. There's a really great, touching KZbin video about it called "Visit America without leaving Britain". It's an acre of land gifted to America by the Queen to remember the great president. It's definitely on my list.

[@stirlingmoss4621]

great idea

[@gibsonms]

And the Magna Carta memorial next to it too! “One American Acre” finds it on Google - and there’s the sculptured village too!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That's a place we're planning a trip to see. We appreciate your support means so much to us! Hope you all have a lovely week. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@davidpaterson2309]

With a unique symbolism - it’s an acre of Runnymede, the site of the signing of Magna Carta.

[@davidfuters7152]

You really need to go to Bletchley Park , the stuff that was done there for WW 2 is amazing, my RE teacher worked there for a while and then ended up being a SPY in South Africa. Nobody including her own family new anything about it until she passed away in her 90s Not sure how the info came out but it was posted in our local paper as part of her abituary

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That is an impressive story. The spy's are always out where you least expect it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@GladysHawkins-xn8uh]

Hi again If you find yourself over near the Welsh border country, I believe you would enjoy a visit to Church Stretton just south of Shrewsbury on the A49. Two things to do. Firstly a drive up Carding Mill valley with the road by a lovely stream but it is a dead end and you can climb a waterfall if conditions are right. Secondly, take a drive up over The Long Mynd. Nothing on the scale you are used to in the States but it is a very scenic drive and I guarantee you will smell your brakes on the return down into Church Stretton!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Both of those sound like a great place to see. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@stevenburgess2856]

That house is lovely! You should check out the memorial to JFK a mile north if Runnymede. There's a great James Felton video.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We have put it on the list. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

Nice drive in decent weather. Sulgrave Manor was lovely, even if only in early spring livery...it will look even better in summer no doubt. Loved all the daffodils and wild cherries flowering along the way. Glad you're enjoying the countryside. So many places you could visit depending on how far you want to go and whether you want to stay somewhere for a few days and tour round using that as a base.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We are glad you enjoyed the video, we did as well. It must be amazing in the summer as much as we enjoyed it in early spring. We have a list of places we still want to see. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@carlearrye8473]

Still got to do Duxford or the American war cemetery

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Still on the list. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@mandeville7474]

You should try Brass rubbing . Some churches have long brass plates engraved with the image of a medieval knight . Ypu need a roll of tissue paper, some masking tape and a large black crayon . You can Google for a place that sells the supplies . The vicar of the church may ask for a donation . When you have finished the rubbing you can store the paper in a tube and take it back to the States with you and then get it framed

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That sounds like a great recommendation. We will look into that. Thanks for the comment and suggestion. Cheers, Chris

[@DarkKnight20101]

You should check out Washington Old Hall up in the North East of England. It is the ancestral home to the Washington family.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Sounds interesting. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@Andy_U]

Hiya. A bit of trivia, a speed hump/bump in the UK is often referred to as 'a sleeping policeman'. Stay safe. All the best to you.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We have heard that one a time or two. Thanks for the info. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@markben05]

I was at Diddly squat farm shop yesterday food round the back is nice a little steep in price , easy for me as its only a 20 min drive from home, We then went onto Hawkstone Arms / Hawkstone brewery for Jeremy Clarkson Larger/Cider then back home to Brize Norton .It was a nice Easter Sunday drive out in the Land Rover

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That sounds like a very nice Easter. We were glad to be able to see it ourselves. 20 mins down the road is closer than most. Take advantage of what you can. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@mandeville7474]

Anne Boleyn is buried in Peterborough Cathedral . Have you been to Hampton court Palace ? . They found blueprints of the Gardens dating from the 17th century . They replanted the gardens according to the blueprints back in the 90's i think . Ther are 2 tours of the Palace , there is the Elizabethan tour and the Stuart tour .

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We have not been to Hampton Court Palace yet. Sounds like a good place to visit though. Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers, Chris

[@colinstevens2691]

Lovely video as always guys. It’s great to ride along with you. It’s a shame you guys didn’t stop in a couple of the Cotswold villages on the way. You wouldn’t have been far from Bourton on the Water which is probably the prettiest village in the Cotswolds. Only 13 miles from Diddly Squat farm. Also Bibury, upper and lower slaughter, broadway and castle Combe are all really worth a visit. They are all quintessential English chocolate box villages. If you ever go back to the Cotswolds you should definitely check them out 😊

[@DaydreamersBarn]

If we had more time, we would have tried to find a few more villages to see. Unfortunately, we only have so much time. Next time we will try to check those places out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@johnwaldron7490]

Hi Jess & Chris, since watching your driving adventures I’ve seen more of my country than I normally do and I’m saving a fortune on petrol. I much prefer our traffic lights to the ones in the states, I never felt comfortable be able to turn right at traffic lights when they were on red, are you getting used to using the roundabouts. The one good thing is however lost you get you can simply call at any farm or residence for directions safe in the knowledge no harm will come to you. Many years ago when leaving Orlando Airport I took the wrong turning and headed out into the unknown, I eventually came to a main intersection and stopped at a garage and asked for directions to get onto the 192, the garage man said you are on it where have you come from I pointed across the road and he replied you shouldn’t be out there that’s bandit country, the film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre sprung to mind. I asked you once what you will miss when you eventually return home and you politely said everything, but what one abiding memory will you take back, have you got used to some of our tv programmes. Safe Travels, keep burning the rubber.👍

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We are glad we are able to save the petrol for you. We can understand where it would be uncomfortable to turn right on red if you are not used to it. Left on red doesn't have the same as right on red either. Narrowing down to one memory we will take back, that is a difficult one. However, one we will be able to look back at is seeing how much history this country has, that we were able to see, and how much affect England has had on the entire world. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

Hello , another good video , love your content and how your family is embracing England . England is the ancestral home to many Americans . Regarding the zebra crossing we also have pelican crossings and small speed bumps we call sleeping policeman they are about a ft wide 6 inches tall and the width of the road , it's like running over someone I suppose that's how they got The name a sleeping policeman also you really have to slow down for them 😂

I live in Chippy but was brought up in Stow-on-the-Wold which is about 8 miles away. Love living in The Cotswolds and couldn't live anywhere else. The Monstrous building materials you saw on your way to Sulgrave is probably to do with HS2 route (High Speed train)

Jess, there's nothing like a "drive out" on Easter Sunday morning - and you didn't disappoint. However, I think you need to be a little bit careful about what you say, the phrase "I could be rotisseried (spit roasted)," can have a much more "adult" meaning for some people - at least in Britain anyway. Which I'm sure wasn't in your thoughts.

Another great journey with your lovely family. It will be so much better with summer coming with trees and flowers in bloom. As a word of encouragement to other Americans who may be watching, do you not think that roundabouts are so much safer and easy to get used to? I much prefer driving down winding country lanes than soulless motorways.

[@andypandy9013]

In case you are not aware, the place names "Chipping" (Chipping Norton, Chipping Ongar, Chipping Campden, etc.) probably derived from "Ceapen", an Old English word meaning 'market', although the meaning may alternatively derive from (or via) the Medieval English word "Chepynge", meaning 'long market square'. (Yes, I copied most of the above from Wikipedia. It saved me time. 😉)

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We were not aware, however it makes sense. Wikipedia for the win. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@andypandy9013]

​@@DaydreamersBarn (In case you didn't know). When we talk of "Market Towns" in the UK we mean towns which in years past used to hold markets, usually weekly though sometimes fortnightly or even monthly, where goods from the local area and even further afield were be bought and sold. The main emphasis was, unsurprisingly, on foodstuffs but household items like crockery, cutlery and furniture were often traded. With the coming of mass personal transport after World War II (mainly motorcycles and cars) people were able to travel further to buy the items that they wanted and many of those markets contracted and finished. In the N.E. England town where I lived in the 1970s and 1980s there used to be a thriving market in its Market Square every Wednesday and Saturday however that finally folded some 10 years ago. 😥 The term "Market Town" lives on though, even if so many of those towns have lost their markets, but happily a lot of places now have regular Farmers' Markets which are something of a hark back to the origins of the original markets. If you haven't been to a Farmers' Market yet then I strongly recommend that you give them a try. 🙂 Looking forward to your next video. 👍

Tut, tut, not stopping for somebody at a zebra.

[@whoflungdung1046]

Rule H2 of the highway code. One does not have to stop until someone has moved onto the crossing or stood still waiting... If you watch that part of the video the person in question is still only moving towards the crossing.

[@grahvis]

@@whoflungdung1046. That does not mean you shouldn't be prepared to stop for those obviously wanting to cross.

[@whoflungdung1046]

@@grahvis How do you know they're wanting to cross if they're approaching? Are you saying we have to stop for all pedestrians heading in the direction of a crossing? The responsibility of the pedestrian is to stand still at a zebra crossing and cross once it's safe to do so, and not just think because it's a crossing that all cars are going to stop in time. You said tut tut thus blaming the driver in this instance.

[@grahvis]

@@whoflungdung1046. The same way thousands of motorists do every day. Are they walking towards the crossing and are close to it, are they checking for approaching traffic? If you cannot get a good idea, I suggest you throw your driving licence away. Your claim the pedestrian should stand at the side of the road and wait until it is safe to cross, would mean the crossing might as well not exist if motorists don't stop until the pedestrian steps on it. On more narrow roads, it would be dangerous to step on the crossing before drivers stop.
