😂😂😂craven weren’t they cigarettes ? 8:40

[@zaynevanday142]

Ok guys before the wee lad Noah starts teething (way off) those amber necklaces really work our Daughter Kaylee was crying all the time and drooling like a gun dog 😂 as soon I was a huge skeptic but I was willing to give anything a go to stop her pain anyway as soon as we put it on her the drooling stopped and she stopped crying as much it works 100%

[@Temarama7]

Hats keep away ear infections and brain chills for sure!!

[@janiewilliams48]

Hi Beans, if you head toward us in USA, let me know where I could send ahead maybe I could get you a blanket... Janie

[@BradK-h8t]

Hi guys. Please don’t panic about getting back to “the big trips”. Many of us really love you documenting the UK tourist destinations and villages. As an Aussie you are helping my wife and I plan our next UK trip …. Very valuable content. More pubs, B&B’s, nice walks, beautiful villages and we’ll be very happy. ❤

[@r8edrv4fun65]

Ditto!! Very interesting and entertaining. Love the tiny village of the village :-)

[@8catmom]

Can’t wait till you connect with Eric and Alison again!

[@orchidhouse297]

That is a beautiful cottage, but I am pleased I don't own it. I lived in a cottage, in a village many years ago. It had stone walls two feet thick, and roof timbers with the original bark, exposed roof beams in the ceilings. It was built in 1564 and was in need of bringing to modern building standards.

[@nightcrawleroriginal]

Bright sunlight in the eyes and loud noises are key triggers to upset babies, nice scenery just the same thanks. :)

[@SpectralightPhoto]

Thanks for sharing another journey with your "little man." My wife and I visited England and the Cotswolds in May, 1984 as our last "blow-out" trip together before starting our family. In March of 1985, our first daughter was born. Interesting timing. ;-)

[@josephinebrinkman9942]

Your videos are really interesting and funny. I look forward to them each week!!! Noah is precious! Stay well and safe!

[@adriannavanderpoll4745]

Seeing Brum, like meeting a celebrity! Immediately sent it to my 34 yr old daughter who had a Brum she slept and bathed with. Noah is beautiful.

[@sandrawegman4688]

Brum! We’re Dutch expats so my kids grew up speaking English. They always watched CBBC and loved Brum 😁

[@emilyserafamanschot800]

Flying the Nest has traveled with a baby/toddler for almost three years, and they just had another baby! Good luck!

[@pauldickey8820]

It's amazing how having a baby makes people come up to you , I've had my grandchildren with me and random people just come up and start talking , great to see you both out and about again

[@gunstar7538]

Not as cool as puppies 😂

[@Circa1692]

Same with a puppy or cute small dog 😄

[@BrettFosterUK]

ah I lived in the Cotswolds for 4 years and this video makes me miss living there so much. I still travel through the Cotswolds to get to work so I at least get a small bit of satisfaction from it. Such a beautiful part of the country.

[@Tia.H]

Awesome (and realistic) video! Glad to see you're back, but don't feel afraid to take breaks when you need them. Noah is just so cute! Soak up all of this time with him because children grow up so quickly! Happy and safe adventures to the three of you - you're going to provide Noah with an amazing experience travelling and seeing the world!

[@kristenmurphy4122]

My husband has to stop me from just reaching for babies. They are a joy and are a sign of hope. He is beautiful. Have the best time you can. You will not believe how fast it goes. Our is 23 and I still dream of her at 3 years old all the time. Much joy to your family.

[@shadowqueen99]

We had Brum in Australia as well, love him!! ❤

[@lynnecahill2859]

Alex and Emma welcome back 🎉❤🥰🥰🥰 Noah is too beautiful for words! God Bless

[@dwderp]

I collect old magazines, and I’ve seen that Miniature village in a copy of the National Geographic magazine from the 1930s. I was always fascinated by it, and I’m glad it still exists. If I ever get over there I’ll happily pay £4.50 to see it!

[@xochiquetzallaunica]

So adorable. His little smile at the end😊😊

[@amywarnock2325]

Right! little natural bean ;))) Oh, I just talk to him through the computer...lol My Texas Accent is just telling telling him HI!

[@linzisutton8466]

Aww loved this video guys! My sister in law got married in Castle combe in 2021 we had some beautiful photo's! My daughter and I were bride'smaids, my daughter dropped her bouquet of the bridge while we were having photo's, luckily we got it back and it didn't go in the water! X

[@littlemissgemreads]

I was taken to Bourton and that museum to see Brum for the day for a primary school trip. A boy in my class dropped his wallet in the stream from that little bridge and we went to one of the shops to buy a net to fish it out. Happy childhood memories. I loved Emma's completely blank expression.

[@birdiebridges3510]

So happy to see your beautiful family. I never knew England had blue bonnets. I havent seen them since my family went on trips to Texas. I am 70 now and live in Las Vegas. I would have loved to visit England. Take care and have fun. The scenery is so pretty.

[@travelbug6051]

There is a magnificent car museum in Blackhawk/Danville, CA. If in the area, you should see it.

[@robbyoliver4953]

The reason your American van burned was something you may have been able to avoid. It had to have a fuel leak or an oil leak that got on the exhaust system and should have had a horrible oder like a strong gas smell or a smoke or oil burning smell. I had a car that had a oil leak that the oil fill cap was left off. The car started stinking and I knew what the smell was I pulled over raised the hood and we had a small fire.on top of the engine. If it was left unattended it would have become a large fire. Luckily I smelled the oder or smoke. I knew what it was. That van having the engine as far back into the cab area you should have a bad oder or smoke smell. Never ignore that smell. Engines run so hot these days they will catch a fire. Engines run at over 210 degrees and that is hot enough to make a fire with having plenty of fresh air or oxygen and a fuel source. Engines need to be kept fairly clean these days because leaking oil with the amount of heat vehicles produce now they can catch a fire.

[@jkneumann]

Oh, my! Thank you guys! summer 2022 our family got to visit the UK but we only stopped for tea at Lucy's in Stow-in-the-wold. but i did make them take a photo at the church! What i really wanted to say is that I also became a first time Mom in my thirties and getting a regular out-and-about-in-everyday-life routine with a baby was challenging and took a whole new approach then what I had known before her. but our daughter, now 16, now likes to check out the world, new places, peoples, culture, foods and that's largely because we all stepped out everyday tackled those things together. Cheers to y'all and your dear intrepid family.

[@Other_Reddit_stories]

There is a village called Ugley, you could always go there 😅

[@rainsofhealing]

Little Noah Bean is a perfect mix of mom and dad. Adorable. A beautiful trip with spectacular visuals. So glad to see you guys! Blessings to you all!

[@carlalissa7693]

Hats off for your bravery of traveling with a little one. Come to the US and I will give you a kayak.

[@philw4625]

Yeah, its tough with small kids, but still worth trying (and succeeding!) . Very easy to start living 'in the future' rather than 'in the moment' once kids start taking up all your time! (and resources...!). This is how the push back starts!! Make the time. They will also enjoy it, eventually.....

[@areafile]

Wow, this video really resonated with me! As someone who loves to travel and is considering starting a family, the idea of full-time travel with a newborn is both exciting and intimidating. It's great to see your perspective and hear about your experiences. It's clear that there are challenges involved, but it seems like you've approached it with careful planning and consideration. I appreciate your honesty about the mistakes you've made along the way, as it provides valuable insights for those of us who may be contemplating a similar lifestyle. It's important to remember that every family is different, and what works for one may not work for another. Ultimately, it's about finding a balance that suits your family's needs and prioritizing your child's well-being. Thank you for sharing your story and shedding light on this topic!

[@gailrogers7644]

Small amount of Bio-Carb in babies bath for the rash its old fashioned but fantastic. My husband is a general practitioner GP to most and he would ring me in the middle of a consultation to ask what I used on our children. Baby is absolutely gorgeous and well take to travelling like a duck to water.

[@zaynevanday142]

The life you are creating right now for young Noah is going to set the wee lad up for life ❤

[@Mel_in_PHX]

I love the way you’re showing the reality of having a newborn. It’s such a challenging time but I swear it gets easier!

[@jeffwilson9114]

Emma looks radiant and Alex is just Alex....lovely to see. Little Noah is in good hands

[@jackrose7977]

Love seeing the three of you traveling together don't do the solo travel that would be a bit boring. Cute Noah is so adorable.

[@gailhickman743]

Fancy saying "This is the nicest place you've pissed yourself" to the baby. How nice.

[@fangsbites]

I like the idea of calling towns whatever the hell we want! That’s the way it should be!! Love you both, Alex and Emma. And little Noah too!

[@angelamouland8012]

I think it is great how you are building small trips slowly, to find your feet and work out the logistics of them with a small person in tow. Look forward to seeing your future adventures.

[@ilikelinux5574]

Hey thanks a lot for sharing your newborns journey with us. It is a pleasure to see you on the road with him. Emma, a small comment about immunization. Best gift you can make to Noah is breastfeeding him as long as possible. With our now 8year old boy, we where avoiding salt and sugar for the first two years. Might needs a bit more time to prepare the food, but it was worth to do it. This helps to build up a good imune system. Looking forward for new videos about you three-beans 😃

[@billstephens396]

Noah has the best parents! Keep being you, Beans!

[@BirdDesignNZ]

Even Kiwis know of Brum!!! loved it as a kid, now on my bucket list to go to this museum to see the real Brum! Also amazing to see you guys out traveling with Noah, love seeing whatever you are up to and im sure im not the only one that isnt super fussy about, just that somethings coming out from you guys, love your sense of humour, always enjoyable!

[@badgerpa9]

It does get easier, but now is the time to have more kids than you can handle or afford. When you get older the payoff is you get grandkids. I went through places like Universal studio and disney with one kid on the front one on the back and the oldest sprawled out legs hanging over in the little ones buggy. Always carry a couple carrying packs or long wraps to hold the kids when you need to carry them. Beautiful little villages, wonder how old they are as many did not do well during the plague. Stay safe and healthy. I am in USA and saw some Brum on late at night when we could pickup TV from UK.

[@shelleylake4430]

Noah is such a good traveler at 8 weeks old. He'll be an old hand at adventures quickly. Good job you two.

[@raspberry5570]

Babies are easier than a just walking toddler lovely area very green and pretty .Mmm embrace your heritage and accent , I am from the West Country and don’t think I have ever said me lover 😀

[@einzgeisha]

that's true I found it easier working around the baby's schedule, even now that my child is 6, like driving when I know he needs his afternoon nap. The Drive-thrus were made for parents with infants. I remember when my baby just fell asleep and I'd be hungry and decided to go through a drive through just so I can have a little bit of something in my tummy without disturbing the baby. Also a helpful tip, I used to have a sleeping baby CD songs running on loop in my car. most of the time it helped a lot and kept my baby calm. now that he's 6 he just wants to hear Encanto CD and talk me through the songs and what scene it's happening in the car. ( I know CD's may be out dated, but my Subaru still has a CD player so I utilize it.)

[@bunnielynn777]

I loved your little excursion! Such a quaint & beautiful little village! Thank you for taking us along. Your little fella gets cuter by the minute! He’s becoming a sweet little man of the world 🌎

[@caitlinhall255]

Brum was also big in Australia.

[@itscarolinemary]

I’ve always wanted to see England, especially old historic villages ❤ very excited for this video!

[@amywarnock2325]

Right! I love this video probably one of my favorites!

[@melissareid640]

he's perfection Baby Bean

[@mexipatti]

We took our six week old from Chicago to Mexico for six weeks in a VW campervan. Since I was breastfeeding no food and bottles etc. less baggage to take and no worries about the water. most people thought we were crazy,, but we had a great time with no problems. I would do it again if asked

[@TravelJennie]

I love this! My parents took me traveling right away, and I got my first passport for international travel when I was four months old in 1979. I’ve also traveled internationally and domestically with my daughter when she was little. Babywearing was a lifesaver. People think it’s difficult to travel with kids, but I have traveled with other adults, and sometimes it feels like I’m herding cats and juggling a preschool with just a single adult travel partner, lol. Babies are the easy ones.

[@joshmay8854]

I grew up watching brum on tv in Australia

[@ladymc2021]

So surreal for me to see you walk where we did in Castle Comb just last September! 😂 So crazy as we even parked in the same exact spot you did near the town! Lol Love the thatched cottage air b&b! Very nice! You are right it is expensive otherwise to stay in the town lol

[@itscarolinemary]

It is so adorable seeing you guys with Noah! ❤ you guys are great parents.

[@annwatrous1289]

Love that❤your back and love the video

[@fionabrown3428]

Wow! 26 years ago with our baby son we did exactly the same, have video footage of our visit to the famous motor museum at Bourton-on-the-water, Brum hasn't aged a bit! 😅 Great video thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@jj-if6it]

I love your guys' sense of humour and taking the piss, it's refreshing when so many youtube couples pretend travel is easy and perfect with kids!

[@Katiedid1975]

I have a friend who lived in Stow on the wold. I remember when she told me I thought sure she was making it up. HI, KENNA!

[@peterwinstonaldredge6927]

Yay! So glad to see you again! What a great first outing. Such beautiful little villages. The more you journey out with Noah, the more comfortable he will become with traveling. I look forward to see more of you!

[@Lifeandtravelsofbek]

I love Bourton-On-The-Water! Took my kids to that museum to see Brum in 2003 (we are Australian and we watched his show so he was big enough to make it here). They loved seeing him in the museum. I love the village itself. Went back again in 2015. Stayed at the pub overnight. Would love to go back one day. My favourite place in England.

[@Tara_Louise]

Australian's Know Brum too!!! :) gosh thats bringing back memories :)

[@JennyMack]

love the cotswolds! traveled there several times as an american youth/teen. broadway was our favorite as our family went there often to stay and purchase antiques.

[@christinacreatesau]

OMG - Brum - I had a moment LOL (Was born in London, grew up in Australia). Honestly, I hardly even left the house with a 8 week old so don't push it too hard. Take your time, enjoy him. I know this is your job, and you are working out how to do it now with a third person involved, but these moments are precious and they are gone so quickly. As he grows and changes, you will adapt to what does and doesn't work now as three people. This might be just me, but if my partner had disappeared for trips over seas when I had a very little baby, I might never have forgiven him, regardless of it being work, and I would also have been devastated that baby and him missed so many special moments together. As it is we have so many special moments of him and our daughters playing and hanging out together during the day or evening. (We also had irregular hours for working) I'm sure you will work it out, and do wonderfully.

[@llabad27]

Noah is so cute and adorable !He will for sure thank you guys later on in his life.For he will learn to appreciate simplicity in life,and to appreciate Nature as well!God Bless your little Family!!!!

[@_JoyceArt]

I was at a museum today in Amsterdam, and there was a man enjoying the art with his young baby in a carrier just like yours. And I too couldn’t resist commenting how cute they were. Well, the baby, but the whole scene was sweet. I’m not from the UK, but I definitely know Brum.

[@cherilangguth2151]

Loved the smile at the end from Noah. He's going to be a natural in front of the camera. What a flirt!

[@lauralarson3490]

Hi A/E/N, I agree traveling with infant is so much easier. My son traveled abroad to visit grandparents/families at 3 mos. He visited a dozen countries before 1 yr.old. flight over / back slept, ate, diapers changes, Repeat. Visiting Scandinavia in deeps snows of winter (-30 +F). Took daily strolls outside, and dressed in many layers. Little planning, and several day packs set up, so you were always prepared for anything that may arise . I always mapped out a traveling route with pharmacy & health food stores just incase a cold or ear infection started up. You are such a lovely family unit!!!💜🌸🌷🌸💜 (Posted from WI/AR USA)

[@christinevarghese1308]

Your first hour of car travel is so familiar. I had a very clingy baby our second loves car travel and the two keep each other company. Thank you for taking us along. Can you believe I would take a geriatric Yorkshire dog and a newborn on my husband's work trips and while we were a funny sight I was glad for the outings.

[@WilderhopeAdventures]

I made a trip to Stowe on the Wold specifically to see that church door...loved it and I am a massive Tolkien fan so even better to see his inspiration

[@wimpees3]

Love seeing the little guy, he is sooooo cute. It's good to take them with you, as he will adjust to the travels and become very accustom to it. Precious Precious Precious

[@angeliquebelluomini7797]

That town looks out of a fairy tale 🥰

[@charleendunn5446]

This was so much fun to watch. I live in Michigan, but my husband and I had friends in the Wiltshire area of the UK. We visited them for three weeks in 1980. We stayed in Hullavington but traveled around the area. The thatched roofs fascinated me. We saw many of the places you visited, including the miniature village. That was really fascinating! There was even music playing in the miniature church! Glad you are getting back to traveling with baby. He's so cute!

[@hgglass8905]

Cotswold is one of the most beautiful places to visit. Little Noah is gorgeous

[@Bb14029]

I live in the US, but visited Castle Combe in the 80’s to see where the opening scenes from Dr. Doolittle were filmed. So nice to see the lovely village hasn’t change.

[@deborahallford7337]

Oh, Alex, that's so sad that you never actually got to play with the little cars!! How CRUEL is that 😢?!?! Maybe you should do a family search... they could still be stashed somewhere !! You AND Noah could play with them now!! 😅

[@travelertrome8449]

You two look like such lovely parents! I have been to England 5 times but never to the Cotswolds. So incredibly beautiful!

[@joanneclifford82]

Lovely video That interesting 'Attenborough ' is a harts tongue fern. Very fun find.

[@pauladavitt7554]

As an Edinburgh bean I can safely say I almost choked myself by laughing so hard at Edinburger. May you all have many happy travels together. And come visit Edinburger at some point.

[@allegrosotto2126]

Yes, it's that forever now👍 kinda matches now you have the Burger King.

[@suzi2084]

Great to see u out and about again,use to love watching brum as a kid here in nz too

[@carolnicholls5092]

I see Noah is already happy to be on KZbin; what a darling! I admire your guts to keep traveling when everything takes twice as long to accomplish but thank you for doing it! PS - I live in Missouri, but LOVE England, I've been to all the little towns you went to in todays video - can't get enough!

[@cspvideo]

We took our oldest son (who is now 40) on his first trip about 60 days after his birth. It was about 8 hours away. We tried to keep to his "schedule" as much as possible. And as you said, we could do that at home. He became a great traveler who spent most of future car rides sleeping. His brother also adapted pretty quickly. The hardest travel adventure was when we flew with them when they were about 18 months old. Both were fully mobile (walking) and sitting in a plane for a few hours wasn't what they wanted. It was easier to buy them a ticket and put them in their car seat in the airplane. They were accustomed to that. You'll be able to tell when your son is ready for longer trips. By the way, if he is a ticketed passenger, he gets luggage!!!

[@JSingh_8185]

Good to see you back on the channel. Noah is lucky to have parents like you and he is very lucky to be travelling at such a young age and I'm sure he will be proud of you (parents) to see these videos when he grows up. These will be great memories for him as well as for two of you as parents. 😊

[@ianfurqueron5850]

FYI: wood chips and mulch are easier to move with a pitch fork than a shovel.

[@Janika-xj2bv]

That's amazing. He's one fortunate baby.

[@jj-if6it]

I lived in England on and off for a couple of years a decade ago but never made it to the Cotswolds. It's SO pretty, I can't wait to go one day. Definitely on the list for when I return to the UK. And a gorgeous thatched cottage is the dream!

[@mcbirdsley]

Embrace the “slow travel” find beautiful places and just be! Love watching you guys!

[@Circa1692]

I love the West Country accent!

[@stuartmays]

Beautiful little place,I'm half tempted to jump in the van and go there for a wander around myself.

[@oxymogurl72]

That golden smile from li'l Noah at the end was priceless...❤😍

[@pompeyvin]

Brum might have lived in the museum, but it was set around Birmingham (Brum!) - Occasionally saw it being filmed around the Birmingham Uni campus back in the day, and was just as excited as Alex!

[@alisonryan226]

I grew up very near there and loved my visits to Bourton, especially the model village and paddling in the rivers.

[@franklinstahl3711]

Thanks for sharing today. Love the old stone village and greenery. We steamy cook those curly green plants, or ones similar to them. We call them fiddleheads. On place name calling....we our from Pennsylvania, however, we lived in Maine for 17 years. They have an old English accent that was actually are to understand. They also use other words for same things. I know exactly what you mean on how babies bring strangers into your life. We experienced that also when we had our first. Oh, four door vehicles (when you don't have a van) work better for getting in and out!!! LOL Ema--a mini version village of a mini version village!!! I couldn't believe it---there WAS one. When you mentioned getting a kayak----we do kayak camping....and when our kids were young we could no longer backpack so we did canoe camping. There are all sorts of places in Maine, and New Hampshire, to do that. I don't get it when channel makers ask for us to give them a "BIG FAT THUMBS UP"---I only have one option; KZbin should give us a variety to choose from!

[@lynnejeoffroy910]

I have a copy of Beetons All about cookery fom the 1800s. It was my grandmother's.

[@amynelson9362]

Loved how you changed Noah's diaper on the park bench! Definitely keep track of all the strange places you end up changing his diaper! You'll find that you get adept at changing it anywhere and everywhere, especially while traveling!! Now that our 4 kids are all out of diapers, my husband and I laugh about those days of diaper changes and feedings and diaper blow-outs!!

[@annieoakley5075]

Baby Bean Noah is beautiful. I loved this village tour.

I can see why England is regarded as the garden of the world. Loved it.👍😊💙🇮🇪🇬🇧

Great travel vlog guys and make the most of it as you will blink and before you know it Noah will be at nursey and school.

Wasn’t that tiny village in one of the episodes of Midsomer Murders? In one the earliest seasons with John Nettles I believe. I love that program.
