Thank you Grimsby! For giving us Laurence!

[@juliestockmeyer5871]

Lisa Mieth~ What a lovely thing to say!!! 💛

[@shaunnmunn5823]

I think if Laurence had lived in the 16th or 17th centuries he would have signed up for a voyage to the New World. With his curiosity and fair-mindedness, he would have been another John Josselyn; eager to learn, learn, learn! He would have written a fascinating book and would have been celebrated and feted. Then he'd take a wife among the residents and with Tarah, live happily with his 16 children! Laurence, PLEASE apply for dual citizenship! We can't afford to give you back to Jolly Ol'!!!🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@janicefeny2223]

We missed you TOO, Laurence!

You went to England and the PM resigned. Coincidence? I think not!

Welcome back, Laurence and Tarah! I look forward to seeing all the videos you shot on holiday in England. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. 😊 xx

[@Tripsshetakes]

What's the biggest reverse culture shock that you experience while there? And what surprised your wife when she visited? assuming shes never been. love your videos. I look forward to watching your 'going home' videos.

[@ourfamily3570]

They met over there, but I still like your questions and second them😃!!!

I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that he hadn't seen his family in 11 years

[@catmomjill]

Glad you had a good trip and are home safely. Now, it seems weird, but your British accent seems stronger now that in was before you left. Like you got a refresher on your accent! Anyone else notice that?

[@minsawna]

Jill Hogg I noticed too

[@suesylvester7075]

Of course we’re still around 😀 Glad you missed us a little! As I scroll through the comments after I watch the videos, it does seem like a nice little community. BTW, come back to California please. Southern Cali has a lot to offer. Can you make an educated guess as to where you’d like to go in the next year or so?

[@jcortese3300]

Nice to have you two back. :-)

[@morgainnetaar]

Glad your trip was safe and you made memories. Can't wait to hear all about it.

[@ChrisPage68]

Glad you took up my suggestion to visit Bourton-on-the-Water. And I hope you greeted your old friends with a suitably repressed British handshake - not one of those emotionally-incontinent Yankee "hugs". 🤣

[@johnsymons76]

So glad that you two had a wonderful time back in England! Looking forward to seeing your adventures! Have a nice weekend settling in your Chicago nest!

[@markmccormack1214]

No I always watch on the phone, our TV doesn't get KZbin mind you we don't watch much TV we use our phones more .

[@mdbeatt]

Welcome home yall. Glad you had a great holiday!

[@martham4176]

I know from experience how weird it is to move away from your childhood home and then go back. It's like you have two homes. What's really weird is when my brothers talk to me like I never left, like I known everything that has been going on since I left. I still feel connected to the general landscape, but subtle things have changed. Then when I get home, to my current home, I feel at home again.

[@benbrown8258]

I just discovered your channel tonight. I haven't watched all your videos but it seems that your British accent was slightly more pronounced upon your return. I think that's pretty cool. My mom was like that when she went to visit her family or during phone conversations.

[@dianethoroughman9541]

Thank you for sharing. Great video. I am glad you had fun in your home country.

Yeah Grimsby!! We missed you too Laurance. Happy your trip was a good one 😁

It might be just me, but I'm sure I noticed more of your northern (yeah... I said it...northern) accent coming through every now and again. I'm really pleased you enjoyed it and plan on coming back soon. Looking forward to the forthcoming videos!

[@karen.s.w5307]

York is my favorite place to go when I go back home. Its been 9 yrs since going back to wakefield. Every time I come back to Indiana friends never understand me and I'm back to day 1 of changing my accent again so they can understand me lol.

Hi! Welcome back to the States! We missed you all, and we're looking forward to seeing future videos from your travels in Britain!

[@FireCracker3240]

Welcome back, good sir. You were missed... so I'm glad the feeling was mutual! I'm so happy you had a good trip. I am very much looking forward to seeing the videos, especially of Grimsby and your old stomping ground. Can't wait! 🤗🤗 (sorry, I know you're against hugs, but you've been gone for two + weeks - hoping you can make an exception).

Among all those places you hope to visit in the future, don't overlook East Anglia. The north Norfolk coast is a delightful place to be.

[@desmondobrien68]

Just get a hire car though! Hopper bus is ok but you can explore more of the coast

[@Sophie.S..]

I agree Daniel, the Norfolk coast is beautiful and has World Heritage status plus Norwich is a beautiful medieval city.

Sunday is good. Now it got better. I will have Kleenex box next to me this Sunday now that you will see your parents after eleven years. Sunday nights movie "Laurence goes home".😢

[@RandomJane104]

"What about....?" Yes that's how I feel. I've been to London twice. We took a day trip to East Sussex on one of the trips and we took a day trip to York on the other trip. There is so much more I want to see though. I want to see the Yorkshire Dales, Robbinhood's Bay, the Cotswolds, Cornwall, Northumberland, Wales, and some of Scotland at the very least. I can only go a week at a time every couple of years. So much to see and so little time and money to see it as an American. I'd also like to see places outside of the UK. So far my only travel outside of the US has been those two trips to England and a one week trip to Dresden, Germany (with day trips to Berlin, Konigstein, and Prague). The travel struggle is real as Americans.

Hello, Lawrence) I live in Saint-Petersburg, Russia and recently got attached to your videos, firstly to hear natural English to train my ears, but I really became fond of your style) Can you suggest some channels or better, some books, where regions of Britain are described systematically? USA would be good also)

[@gloriastroedecke2717]

So glad you are home. Although I saw you,I missed you.Isn't that odd? You are a little pink, so the Sun did shine a bit in Britain.

Weirdly, I can relate to the difference of self in different places. The analogy used was 'growing out of the box', first observed when I travelled cross country from the East Coast to the West Coast...never been the same since and realized we fundamentally change and the boxes we fit ourselves into....dont. So we grow outside the box and cant be stuffed back in. On a side note, I am currently questing for good british style fish n chips and few in Seattle understand what Im on about.

Welcome home! (It's nice when you can go to the U.K. and get a "Welcome home!" as well as when you return to Chicago.) Chicago is by no means "typical" of America . . . You need to get out into the countryside more, even in Illinois!

Laurence! The proper etiquette for wearing a American baseball cap is the bill needs to be centered! Yours is a little off set!! I watched a video of how English, Irish, Scottish, Australian people can pick an a American tourist ( out from a crowd), from their American baseball cap they wear!!😎🎸👍

My advice to potential tourists....Enjoy....But..."Watch it!"

Keep your money in an inside pocket of a zipped jacket. 👍

[@leonie49]

As a Brit and a woman walking around in my home town i do keep my money (notes)in my bra, and loose change in a small purse and mobile phone somewhere else in my clothing or inside a zip pocket out of sight when i am out and about. It is very rare i take a hand bag out with me in busy populated areas now these days, unless i am heading to work! It is true, there are a lot of pick pockets about in the major towns and cities.

[@nicoladavies3391]

Aliciá Greaves Never felt the need to do that even in London. Does that mean you fumble in your bra every time you want to buy something?

[@leonie49]

NickyL there are ways of getting to ur money out discreetly without drawing attention to yourself when necessary. It’s good advice for any woman in this day and age when walking the streets not to keep majority of ur money or cards, phones in one place on ur body, and that’s the advice I was given by the police who said people need to stop walking around with the blinkers on and pay attention to your surroundings when more people are being attacked a robbed in broad daylight on the streets by organised gangs who go town to town and cities.

Personally I could never live in the city, if you want a slower pace there is so much countryside and smaller towns that you can easily slow down. The thought of living in any city other than maybe Charleston, SC (my absolute favorite city) makes me feel extremely anxious, I dont even like to visit big cities. 😉😄
