loved all your comments Jess, i'm glad you and your family are enjoying your time here .

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you for your wonderful support! We definitely truly love this beautiful country. We can't wait to learn and explore even more. Have a lovely weekend! Cheers 🤍 Jess x

[@jaysummers9396]

Here's the cool thing, you learn more about your own country by living in other countries 🤘👍

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That's true! I agree with you, my friend. Thank you for your comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

[@peckelhaze6934]

It doesn't cost anything to be tolerant and helpful to other motorists and helps keep the traffic flow. An important habit I have is keeping junctions clear when in a queue. Lamb Shanks and lamb cutlets are superb with lashings of Colman's mint sauce. Personally I think you and your family have adapted extremely well to our British way of life. I for one will be sad to see you leave, your tours of the UK are wonderful.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

I have loved to embrace the laid-back lifestyle. It truly helps the flow of traffic when everybody is aware of everybody else and follows the law. It will be a sad day when we have to leave, thankfully that won't be for a while!! Cheers 🤍 Jess x

Back in the 90s when I visited the States I was a bit disappointed at the international news coverage on tv, so I bought a shortwave radio and listened to the BBC World Service news. I was pretty surprised to eventually find that PBS radio stations in some cities in the USA used to rebroadcast the BBC World News and apparently some still do so.

[@simonrobbins8357]

Where are earth are you finding flights to the US for £2000? Not sure where you want to go or what dates but I randomly picked 15th of the 30th of April, return, from Heathrow to Chicago and got a price of £445 with British Airways or £435 with American Airlines. and those are both direct flights if you're prepared to go via some other European capital you can get connecting flights from Heathrow to most American cities from the likes of Iceland Air or Norwegian airlines or Air France etc even cheaper.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

So, I was referring 2000 thousand four the entire flight to the US and returning to the UK for the grand total of almost 2000. Sorry for any confusion. I appreciate your input. Have a lovely day, friend. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

[@mikdavies5027]

Saying "you know" is more refreshing than repeating the word "like"! And being polite and giving way in traffic only costs a few seconds at most! I think you need to look again at ticket prices, I understand that it is usually about £400 pounds to fly to the US!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Appreciate your kindness. I agree that being polite goes a long way. I'm trying to plan a little further out to help with the cost. It was a holiday weekend that I was trying to fly to the US and back, so I'm sure that played a factor in and was very short notice. Hope you have a wonderful day. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

So many ways to prepare lamb apart from standard British roasts and grills. One of my favourites is a very well known Greek dish called lamb kleftiko. Definitely worth trying if you ever get the chance or having a go at cooking it if you are feeling adventurous.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That sounds very good. We will give that a try if we see it on the menu. Then we can decide if we want to try cooking it ourselves. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

[@MarkmanOTW]

Hi Jess, Great to hear you've gained so much from living here in the UK. It's always fulfilling to heighten your awareness and learn so much about the World, and appreciate other perspectives and ways of living through experiencing it. I've watched several of your family videos, and you've been fortunate living in lovely part of England in East Anglia. Nice to see you're discovering and enjoying our food and local produce. Waiting for you to try Indian food (if you haven't already). I'm sure your British friends would only be too willing to take you guys out for a curry - could be a fun vlog to share.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

This has been such a wonderful life experience for us all. Us being able to learn and appreciate the world is just the next level to me. We have definitely been to many places with our friends out to eat and love it all! Thank you so much for your kindness and your support. It is truly appreciated. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

[@MarkmanOTW]

@@DaydreamersBarn Great to hear! 👍😊

[@mej6519]

as my old nan would say, "if your not using it, switch it off at the wall" a simple lil tip that i still do today, thanks nan. if you get the chance go to an indian restaurant, they do lots of lamb curry dishes, ranging from very mild to burn your bum off, the waiters are usually pretty good, just ask them how hot it is, they will always give a good assement on the degrees of heat for that dish.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We have tried the Indian restaurants here. We really enjoyed it and will be going back again soon. Not sure if we tried the lamb curry, but sounds like the next thing we will order. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

Hi Jess. I’ve not commented for a good while because my subscription mysteriously disappeared, and you were no longer in my feed - I’d wondered if you’d returned home for some reason! 🤷‍♂️ But you’re looking great as ever, and I’m delighted that you’re still enjoying your time here. I’m completely baffled why you’ve not been able to get a full time job here. I’m honestly shocked! You’re so capable in everything I’ve seen you attempt, with loads of enthusiasm, demonstrable skills, immaculately presented and with a happy face. 😊 Prospective employers must be nuts in your vicinity, I know that in the south east you’d be snapped up. But you seem very happy and busy, which is great, and have found a passion for lamb 🐑! It’s my favourite meat, I cook shoulder and leg joints slowly, with garlic and rosemary, and then serve it with the essential mint sauce that takes it to the next level. 😋 You should preach the quality of this delicious meat when you eventually return home, as it appears that it’s not commonly enjoyed in the U.S for some reason. Well the food talk has me salivating, so it’s time to start thinking about dinner. Wishing you all well, from Sussex by the sea. x 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇪🇺

We used a few.

[@sidecardave6810]

Re flights to the US, have you looked at flights from Amsterdam? They used to be cheaper, due to the higher landing fees at UK airports. Sometimes it was even the same 'plane that you were being priced for to fly from London. you can catch the Eurostar train to Amsterdam. It used to be a significant saving. Admittedly it's been a few years since I last checked.

Glad you like our Lamb. It's really good and usually my 1st choice if it's on the menu. One thing I have noticed with Americans that live here for an extended time is they usually go back to the USA and buy an Electric Kettle. Even the savages that never convert to tea drinkers. Heating water on a stove is painful in comparison.

[@optimist3580]

If you are looking at inexpensive flights to the USA, try flying to a popular destination in the states such as Orlando and then just hop on an internal flight to your chosen destination. It will be half the cost of a direct flight to say Atlanta. The major airlines are guilty profiteering when people fly not so popular routes.

Flights on the major carriers return Economy are nowhere near £2k, more around £400 to places like NY or LA. You could always take the Eurostar to Amsterdam Schiphol as some services could be cheaper from there. Not sure where you want to go, but if you took say a flight London to NY, then caught an internal flight to your home, that would probably be the most economical way.

Well Daydreamer, nice to hear all those pluses for the UK. I've been to the USA many times and I have many American friends. Americans generally are nice folks and always ready to help. America itself is huge and a beautiful country but has a tendency to be inward looking. It would be so much better if Americans travelled far more outside their own country. Your media only concerns itself with American news and totally forgets the outside world unless its a war or something. Any how, have a great time, try a quick visit to Europe via the Eurostar Train, its easy and quick. Leave early enough and spend the day in Paris! Nice video.

May I ask a question. What proportion do you think of US citizens possess passports and travel as you do. The impression I have is that many Americans don't have international/other cultural awareness or interests beyond the shores of the US unless work takes them abroad. Wishing you well.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Not sure on the portion of Americans with passports and travel overseas. However, because the United States is so large, there is a good amount of people that simply stick to traveling in the US. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

The news thing goes both ways. We had nearly 24/7 coverage after 9/11, but that was HUGE news. I imagine the States got a huge amount of coverage after the Ariana Grande concert bombing in Manchester. Unless it's something that affects all of us, neither will generally report on it. I read papers that have UK and American specific sections, and although we do get a lot of American news, some bloke called Bill in Oklahoma growing a 25kg Onion won't really make international news. I wish it would, just because it's quirky and amusing, but we don't tend to see eachother's news unless it's really serious, or politics.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Oh, I accomplicately understand! It's crazy.I really wish that we had a new station that would truly just share the news with no opinions, just news from the world.

I think that possibly the reason you're finding it hard to get a job is because employees are entitled to paid holiday, maternity leave, sick pay etc so they don't want to employ someone who may not stay very long.

It’s interesting to hear a non-English person’s perception of the royals. Since Elizardbeth was put into a hole in the ground, support is dropping fast.

The fact is that you need something non-political to get behind when trouble hits. For America,it's the flag. The American flag doesn't generate cash, royalty does. No need for pomp and ceremony without them and that brings in cash.

[@albertsmyth9616]

I don’t agree at all. The King & Queen are doing a great job (look at the polls) and the royals stock is definitely going up! The King is undergoing cancer treatment so he’s working remotely so kicking a man when he’s down isn’t kind or decent. Your use of the really nasty phrase with regard to the late Queen being ‘put in a hole’ tells us everything we need to know. Try to be a better human being and appreciate the life of selfless service the royals do so well.

[@nickrider5220]

The Royal family are a figurehead, something British, they do a lot of goodwill work and have diplomatic function. I was really surprised how sad I felt when the Queen died. I think most people are looking forward to William and Kate being King and Queen - the King is a decent person too ! I wouldn't like to be a royal, personal freedom would be too limited.

[@albertsmyth9616]

@@nickrider5220 Agreed, but to say that they are just ‘figureheads’ is to belittle the enormous amount of work they do. How many people would like to spend their entire lives doing, among other things, a mass of office work every single day (including the weekends) of the year with no let up until the day they die? Not many. I think we are extremely fortunate to have a sovereign as our Head of State as they are born to a position of service, therefore have no ambition to get it.
