Something the US never gets credit for is how polite they are, here are 2 polite articulate kids prepared to step out of their comfort zone ...a credit to their lovely parents and country 🇺🇲🇬🇧 ❤ xx
I agree
I have to hand it to the Americans, they do tend to be very polite and articulate. They're also very generous with their time. If you need a hand packing your shopping, they'll help you. Yes, they are different culturally, and can be a bit loud for Brits at times, but in the same breath, us Brits probably come across as stand offish and aloof, almost snobbish to them. 2 very different cultures, but still unified, even if we don't always see eye to eye on things.
@@davidfussell5735I also agree
Thank you all so much for your amazing support and kindness! I'm so proud of them being so brave to create this video. Cheers to you all! 🤍 Jess (The Mom of the fabulous sweeties) x
I must admit, I go on about Yanks and moan a lot about their lack of world knowledge in general, but you're right. We in Britain are very lucky to have this amazing history and culture. These kids are very polite and respectful of our amazing country.
What lovely children.
Thank you so very much! We appreciate your kindness and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris kiddos!
I recall having a conversation with an American University friend years ago and his realisation that his nations history did not begin at Plymouth rock and that much of British history was also his history prior to his ancestors departing these shores. After his wakeup call he told me he looked at much of British culture as his, he went on a tour of his British roots and heritage, he said he stopped feeling like a foreigner and more like a relative visiting family.
You have lovely well rounded children Jess & Chris, give yourselves a huge pat on the back. 👏🏻🇬🇧🤝🏻🇺🇲
Thank you so much for your kindness! It means so much to have sweet support. We appreciate your time watching and supporting our family. I will definitely share this comment with Shane and Colette. 🤍 Jess & family.
That was great and very informative not only was it delivered by 2 very lovely Children it was well scripted and from the heart! Its strange that being English and growing up here we all take it for granted yet to hear 2 young American children sing the praises of not only the Country and its architecture but the people that live hear is very appreciative and reassuring! Great video and my love to you all! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for your sweet words and kindness! It truly means so much to us. I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
You have two polite and very likable children who have clearly been brought up very well.
Thank you so much for your kindness! It means so much to have sweet support. We appreciate your time watching and supporting our family. 🤍 Jess & family.
A two-hundred-year-old church would be relatively new here. Many are around 800 to 1,000 years old.
Correct. Thank you for your time watching and leaving a comment. 🤍 Jess x
We have a local church that was built in the 12th Century!
You have beautiful children. You must be so proud of them!
Thank you! We're very proud of them. They're wonderful humans. We appreciate your kindness and support. Hope you have a great weekend. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
*Shane* : ".... they already have 100, 200 year old churches"
This is so sweet, and it did make me chuckle. A one hundred year old church would have been built in 1923. That is not old to us (nor is a 200 year old church). There are numerous churches and Cathedrals in England that are over 1 _millennium_ old. Thousand year old buildings are not uncommon here; there are even pubs that are well over a thousand years old, some even going back to the 6th century (560 AD).
I guess the saying is true: The English think 100 miles is a long distance, and the Americans think 100 years is a long time
😀
Yes, teenagers definitely do. To be honest, 40 is old for them. 😉
Thank you for your comment and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
@@DaydreamersBarn I was going to make the same comment but someone beat me to it. 200 year old churches are new to us. We tend to think of the age of things by the thousand, not hundreds. There are things in Westminster Abbey that are over a thousand years old. Talking of age did you see on the BBC News about the rare dinosaur that has just been discovered here in Dorset near me.... It's like the ocean version of a T-Rex ! There's the BBC clip on You Tube titled "Colossal Sea Monster unearthed in UK" .... It goes back millions of years! I know the feeling because I am an old fossil too !! 💖 :) Bob x
Yes, I thought the same. My home town has Thornbury Castle built in the early 1500's and now a fine hotel and restaurant. Just down the road is Berkeley Castle, built in 1067, with a slightly macabre history, but with a great pub a short distance away.
@bobbybigboyyes I completely understand, but he was meaning is that some of our US churches are only 200 or 400 years old in the United States, not meaning here in the UK. He meant that in the United States our are not as they are here.. They're not that old, so he like seeing the history and everything older here. Thank you for being kind. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
@@DaydreamersBarn But he said "you wouldn't see here" when talking about 200 or 400 year old churches in the UK. ☺
Charming and brave. I wouldn't have gone on YT at their age or even now !
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
200 year old churches are new to us. Norman churches are just under 1000 years old and are common where I live. Even older churches than that are not rare.
💯 agree. We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
I love to hear reflections from visitors. Good or bad. Lovely kids. We forget how rich we are in history. Our house for example is 600 years old, so much history embedded. ❤
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share your comment with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Hiya! Great to meet you both, and hear your views. You are very mature for your years, and a credit to your parents. Your use of English is most impressive, as is your appreciation of our history and culture. It is good to see you enjoying it while you are here. Now you must share the things you are not so happy about, and miss from back home.
Have a great Christmas. x
Thank you so much for your kindness! It means so much to have sweet support. We appreciate your time watching and supporting our family. We will definitely share your comment with Shane and Colette. Have a happy Christmas and New Year. 🤍 Jess & family.
Wow, you got your daughter to appear on camera! Good for you...and good for her! She did great!
She was so excited and nervous but wanted to be a part of the channel and share her thoughts with everyone. I'm so proud and love that she has taken an interest in what we're doing. Never want them to fill like they have, too. Thank you for your kindness! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 🤍 Jess xx
Hi guys, welcome. Loved hearing what you like about the UK, it was very refreshing to hear from teenagers. There is much more for you to discover here which I hope you do and perhaps we can have an occasional video from you both
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share your comment with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
You both are so adorable. I’m so glad you like our small country. It is more the richer for you being here with us all! ✨😘🇬🇧
We're very proud they have embraced this wonderful opportunity. They love to learn and explore we go on as many adults as we can. We appreciate your kindness and support! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
I am glad that there are many things you are enjoying about the UK.
THE ENGLISH LOVE MASS IMMIGRATION & ILLEGALS SHOULD HAVE A TOUR OF ALL THE TERRORIST ATTACKS MASS CHILD RAPES BY ASIAN GROOMING GANGS OR THE BLACK GUN KNIFE DRUG CRIMES OR THE EASTERRN EUROPEAN CRIMINALS FREELOADERS ETC
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Nice to get a "younger" perspective on our country. 👍😃
We appreciate your kindness and support! It means so much to us. I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Congratulations to Chris and Jess for raising two wonderful children and I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Christmas here in Norfolk 💯👍👍
Thank you so much for your amazing support! We hope you have a great Christmas and New Year. We appreciate your kindness! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Another two great imports from the US to the UK !! Like the Elgin Marbles can we keep them !!!!
Thank you so much! We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Love Love your channel your family reminds me of my husband and I got stationed at Lakenheath RAF Air Force Base in the late 80's.
Your children are lots older than our 2 daughters were when we lived in England.
Oh, thank you so much! We will share with Shane and Colette. We appreciate your time watching and all your support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Well done guys! Great kids 🇬🇧
Thank you so much for your kindness! It means so much to have sweet support. We appreciate your time watching and supporting our family. 🤍 Jess & family.
You've raised nice kids. I also like your Christmas tree, it's tastefully decorated. I also find it charming that your kids think a 200-year old church or cathedral in the UK is "old." They must have visited only very modern UK churches! 😂
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
What a delightful reaction. Watch out mum and dad - you have two great stars here.
We do indeed! Thanks for the kind words. Cheers, Chris
You have two lovely, polite, intelligent, and well-brought-up children. They are a credit to you. Thank you for introducing them to us. What an amazing opportunity you have given them, to experience another culture, warts and all. Wishing you all a lovely Christmas.
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share your comment with Shane and Colette. Thank you for your comment! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
What a great video - your children are the spitting image of you guys / and what a fantastic job you’ve done bringing them up! What a credit to you… really interested to hear their thoughts. Stars in the making… be careful you and Chris could find yourselves out of a job!!
We truly appreciate your kindness! Thank you so much for your support! It means so much to our family. We're so proud of them. They're such wonderful humans. I will share your comment with Shane and Colette. 🤍 Jess & family.
@@DaydreamersBarn wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true!
Lovely young people! Glad they are enjoying their time in the UK,
Thank you for watching and sharing with us. We appreciate your time. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
You are welcome kids. I am pleased that you have found things here that you like. Its good to know.
Thank you for your kindness! We're so proud of them for embarrassing this adventure. We hope you have a lovely rest of your week. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Great kids
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Nice one guy's, great to hear from you. Your opinions, either positive or negative, are refreshing as these are things we take for granted.
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share your comment with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
HIYA !! Well done kids, great presentation loved your confidence being in front of a camera knowing it’s going to be broadcast on a public domain. I would of run a mile from the camera if I knew thousands of people could potentially be looking at me on YT. They say travel broadens the mind, you two have definitely proven that old saying to be well and truly accurate.... Thank you both for the video 🤗
We appreciate your kindness and support! I'm so happy they wanted to share their thoughts with you all. We're truly blessed to call them our children. I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x
What lovely kiddos!! So articulate and kind and gracious!! ❤
Thank you so much for your kindness! Means so much to have sweet support. We appreciate your time watching and supporting our family. 🤍 Jess & family.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your beautiful family Jess and Chris!! XX Dara
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! 🤍 Jess, Chris & Kiddos xx

I agree with you. It is something that they will enjoy and have great memories of their time here. Thank you so much for your comment. We appreciate your time. 🤍 Jess & family x
Two wonderful teenagers put a lot of British children to shame with their politeness 😉
I appreciate your kindness! We're so proud of them for embracing this wonderful adventure with us. We thank you for your time. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
@@DaydreamersBarn I hope you meant embracing 😂😂😂😂 not embarrassing 😱
Haha 😉... Oh, most definitely embracing this adventure!
Speaking as an ancient English ruin, your kind words are much appreciated! :-0
Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.

@@DaydreamersBarn Thanks Jess. All the best to yourself and Chris too. Ben x
I only found this channel a few days ago. And subscribed pretty well straight away, and watched - and thoroughly enjoyed - several videos from who have already become two of my very favourite CZcams Americans. But this video has just blown me away. What wonderful, articulate, polite and thoughtful - and quite brave - young people! Such a credit to your parents, as you all are to your country. Totally demolishing the stereotype view that, sadly, so many here have of Americans.
You and your family put me in mind of a few years ago, when my wife and I were on vacation in Normandy in early June. A number of other guests at the small hotel were quite young American guys, in uniform. I confess, we were amazed at just how courteous and polite and articulate - and smartly-presented - those young guys were. We said at the time, the US could not wish for better ambassadors. And that they were clearly proud to serve their country, and in turn their country had every reason to be proud of them.
Thank you all, for sharing your thoughts with us, and for your positivity towards our own country. You put many of us here to shame.
Thank you very much for all of the kind words. We think they have done well with representing America, us, and themselves. We are glad to hear that you have met Americans that has helped put Americans in a good light. We appreciate your time for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
The kids relaxed more and more as they progressed, and that was super to see. Maybe more from them on your ramblings in the future? Anyway, nice to watch, you two :)
We appreciate your kindness and support! Yes, I'm sure they will be in more of our videos in the future. I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Hey Daydreamer Jr's! It's great to see such engaging, smart, youth these days. Great job Daydreamer Snr's! Love from Glasgow. 💙
Thank you for the support! We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Watching your olds vlogs has been cool, but getting to hear what you two think was fascinating, hope you share more before you go back home to Michigan, stay safe healthy and curious, and may your travels continue, thanks for great content, and the time and effort it takes to produce it. x
We're so glad you enjoyed the video! We will definitely ask them to put together another video to share with you all. We love seeing them share. Thank you for your support! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
What delightful children, you're blessed parent's 🤘👍
Thank you, we definitely know. They're such amazing people and make us so very proud. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Hi Shane and Collette, it's so nice for you both to come forward and be brave to sit in front of a camera and be able to talk freely about your feelings. take care, god bless you both .
We appreciate your kindness and support! They're so excited and happy to have the opportunity to share their thoughts with you all. I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
What a great video, two brilliant young adults sitting in front of a camera, which is a hard thing to do, and just having a good old chin wag. Glad your experience in old blighty has been a good one so far! @Jess - Collette is so much like you, and Shane like Chris!! 10/10 for the teens😀
We appreciate your kindness and support! It means so much to all of us. I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Great video, I myself was a army child and spent my childhood growing up in different countries and I loved it.
We appreciate your kindness and support! It's a fantastic opportunity to be able to grow up and appreciate other countries. I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Great kids , hope your happy here must have been a huge upheaval for you both , take it all in its an experience yo will take faward in life .all the best 😊❤
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share your comment with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
You are a credit to your country and very welcome visitors to ours.
It's so amazing to have so much kind feedback. We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
I’m glad you both like England & our history which goes back a long way , it’s nice to hear your views with honesty .We might be a small country but we are full of surprises .Some great places to visit in UK is Wales , Scotland & Northern Island .Keep,safe both of you ..😊
We are glad you enjoyed hearing their perspectives. You are right, a small country, but we enjoy finding all the surprises we can. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Great work guys - so interesting to hear from you. I hope you have a great time while you're in the UK. I'd love to hear what you plan to do when you go home and your Ma and Pa have got their smallholding. And for future bakers, can I just say that home made mince pies (for Christmas) are so much nicer than shop bought ones. Xx (we always sign off with X's in the UK).
We appreciate your kindness and support! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
@@DaydreamersBarn BTW, you sure don't look old enough to have a couple of teens - I'm jealous. xx
Less chemicals & sugars in our foods. Great video we don't often see the kids.
💯 agree! We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
A professionally presented video, well done and thank you.
Thank you kindly! We appreciate your time watching and commenting. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

i love history too...usa and british history is connected ,did you know that the american anthem tune is an old british drinking song called "The Anacreontic Song", also your laws are based on common english law,,, also thanksgiving came from english pilgrims who emigrated to usa ,,,,the young lady might be intrested in looking it up
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Well done kids , good job 😊
Thank you so much for your kindness and support! I will share your comment with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
This is an area I'm really not expert! With your baking skills, have you tried making pies? They may be difficult.
Pies are a big thing over here; not just fruit pies, but savoury pies. There are also Cornish pasties, and scones. And of course, a Victoria Sandwich or Victoria Sponge.
I am no cook, but a good cookery book - if it's still in print - is the Good Housekeeoing cookery book. It gives all the standard recipes.
Thank you for your insight. We appreciate your time watching and commenting. We hope you have a lovely day. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
As far as accents go, we say that you can drive 50 miles the accents will have changed 3 times and a bread roll will be called something different (batch, cob, teacake, bap etc.)
💯 we agree and love it! Thank you for your kindness and time watching. Hope you have a lovely day! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
Loved it, very natural and interesting, just as a tip should you do any more - -talk it through first write down your thoughts - - I see you used your phone (mobile) why not print out what you want to say and place it by the camera and it should run more smoothly! I mean no disrespect to you it's just a tip a thought . Keep on doing it keep on learning! Well Done!😊
For their first time on camera themselves, I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Also, we like our videos to be true, not rehearsed. We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Great point about the age factor !. Comng as 4- 7 year olds for instance there would understandably a lack of appreciation and any genuine understanding of history or tax included or accents etc.
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Hiya kids, you alright? Hope you have a Merry Christmas
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share your comment with Shane and Colette. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
I didn’t realise you had been to Scotland hope you enjoyed your trip🦄🏴🦄🏴🦄🏴
We absolutely loved our trip to Scotland and are planning another one.
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
@@DaydreamersBarn I am glad you enjoyed your trip to Scotland where are you planning to go? Orkney is defiantly worth thinking about if you are interested in history from the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age Vikings WW1 and WW2. Also wildlife including orcas otters dolphins seals and sea birds.
Baked goods are always my favourite thing too ;-)
Colette smiled! 🤍 Jess xx
Such a pity you will be leaving us because we admire your family so much.
Hopefully once you arrive back in America and settle down, it won’t be too long before you plan to come and see us again.
I know it will be a sad day, but we will definitely come back to visit! 💯
Hopefully we don't leave any time soon. But we don't know what the military has in store for us.
You appreciate your support. Have a lovely week ahead. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
Firstly, Colette sounds so much like mum/mom!! Some of our history has been 'exported' to the USA, though ours goes back amuch further. It's highly likely that some of your ancestors were from these shores originally. I beleive that President George Washington originated from Washington, County Durham (as it was at the time). Then there are those who crossed the Atlantic on the 'Mayflower'. Add to that the place names that have been 'acquired', such as Washington (DC or State); Peterborough (Cambridgeshire/MA); Boston (Lincolnshire/MA) and many, many others. Another example is that I can go to New York without leaving the UK. How? It's a village to the north of North Shields, close to Newcastle upon Tyne. I could go on!! As Colette and Shane commented, we have a shared heritage and more similarities than differences.
We appreciate your kindness and support! Thank you so much for this wonderful comment! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Hi lovely young teen's. Please don't be so nervous. Your doing so well did you know you can book coach trips to different places etc castles
London Kent york a good one to visit is duxford air museum just about an hour away plans for school holidays. Have fun
Great point, we haven't looked into that before. Thanks for the kind words, watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
How has being here impacted your schooling , are you high school or college age
If you have finished your schooling would you travel Europe not just the UK to see more ?
Thank you for your kindness. We will have them answer that on our upcoming Q/A. Thank you so much for watching and asking the question. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Lovely people we have some ecclesiastical buildings a 1,000 years old.
Thank you for your lovely comment and kindness. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
Same language different culture. When you travel you tend to take your culture with you and judge everything from that perspective. It takes a while sometimes for the penny to drop why people say, do, think, different things. It's one of the nice things about travelling. British culture varies from place to place while we share certain aspects of what it is to be British, there are variations in being Scottish, Irish, Welsh, English, Cornish, even London, which people can be highly protective of. Accents, sayings, words can vary as well. On the subject of words, colour, armour, flavour, has a u in it, analyse, paralyse an s, even as I'm writing this CZcams is telling me I'm spelling these wrong - drives me crazy 🙂 Travelling and labelling, catalogue and dialogue. What is it with Americans and "u"? 🙂
We truly appreciate your insight and love being able to read what you all share with us. Thank you so much for your kindness and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Could you ever see yourselves living here, I think mum and dad would consider this as a second home, would you feel that aswell
I will ask them, and they can answer this on our Q&A video we're releasing next month. We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
You must take the Children to the city of York to see the York Minster..They love history Honestly with a Roman Fort underneath the Minster which was uncovered during Repair work .They opened up to the Public and made it a Museum. So on one site you have over 2000 years of history. As Well has one of the best preserved medieval Cities .Then VIKING history just to top off .Ho and Harry Potter shops Fiction i know know but who doesn't like Harry Potter.
Fabulous, thank you for the wonderful recommendation! Definitely have that added to our list of places to go. We truly appreciate your kindness and support. Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year! Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x
Napoleon summed us up. L'Angleterre est une nation de boutiquiers
England is a nation of shopkeepers.
He also said 'where there is a foot of water you will find the Royal Navy'
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing. We appreciate your kindness and time watching the video. Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris
Love that you love farmers markets and produce - it doesn't last as long but it is all the better for that!
Do you listen to local (ie British) radio? Specifically you youngsters, I'm curious what you think of the music. I recommend BBC Radio 1 for its variety of what's current. Ditto, I guess, for the old wrinklies - do you listen to BBC Radio 2 and Radio 4?
I deliberately picked BBC stations because they aren't infested by hideous adverts - I *HATE* adverts! There are plenty of commercial stations to listen to, of course.
On that score - I believe terrestrial commercial TV and radio in the UK has many fewer adverts than the US, and they tend to be more entertaining here? What do you all think?
We agree, fresher food, and don't last longer, but we don't have to worry about as many preservatives.
We listen to whatever is on. The BBC one seems to be one we find often. Don't know if it's because of reception or content. But we do enjoy hearing what's going around and hear locally. That is something we notice with less advertising. For sure, more in America. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers 🍻 Chris and Jess.
The shops don't have to pay any sales tax on food, anyway, so that keeps the prices cheaper.
Also books, travel guides, maps, etc. etc. - all free of tax.
Most healthcare finance comes from tax on gasoline.
So, in resumé - I don't think our total taxes are much different to yours, and we get health care thrown in for free.!!
Fantastic, thank you for your insight. We appreciate your time watching and leaving a comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
Hello. Jess & Chris, Colette and Shane. Colette UK history / baked goods / sights / accents / sayings // Shane single price, no after sales tax, tips / Scottish Highlands / churches / direct opinions / accents / variety of small businesses . I like Shane's Minot AFB blue top (North Dakota). What is noticeable is how they have very similar mannerisms / looks to the parents. I have been following this channel for just under a year. I also follow US sites such as Jay Leno's Garage / Hey Look Squirrel / Eclectic Beard / It's JPS / Magic Geekdom etc. I like your Christmas tree. I hope you all have a lovely Christmas, and all the best to the USAF ( I like planes, and used to go to lot of air shows in the UK, especially RAF Waddington near Lincoln. A UK expression for something nice is smashing, as a nice day out would be a smashing time, smashing little cafe , smashing or lovely little church or meal etc. Homely has a different meaning in the UK to the USA. In the US it means a bit dated, dumpy, scruffy, but here in the UK it means snug and welcoming, as in a compliment. Your house would be homely (kind and inviting).
Thank you very much for your kindness! We appreciate all the support, and it was lovely to read all of your comment.
Shane laughed at his middle school sweater... It's one of his favorites.
The RAF is really cool, and getting to experience the aircraft is quite an amazing site. Happy holidays and have a wonderful New Year! Cheers 🤍 Jess, Chris, and Kiddos
100 to 200 year old churches? We call that a new build.😂
Haha, well, that's old to Americans 😉
Cheers 🤍 Jess x
👍
PS I may have misheard - but we have lots of churches that are more than a 1,000 years old (or the original parts of them, before multiple extensions were added).
PPS if you like castles, suggest that you visit the south-west and wales - zillions of them!
💯
Thank you so much for your kindness! It means so much to have sweet support. We appreciate your time watching and supporting our family. 🤍 Jess & family.
This video seems the ideal place to mention some things that will greatly help you, Colette and Shane, to not get in to trouble with British friends your age. I know Colette is going to an American school on base, but if she is out shopping in a mall in Norwich or London, for example, do NOT ask your friends if they have their fanny pack/fanny bag. NEVER, EVER use that phrase outside your home or off base. If you see an old dear trip over and she lands on her bottom do NOT ask if she has a sore fanny. Shane, if you see a pretty girl at school, don't say to your mates that she has a really nice fanny, especially if you are talking to her brother. I think this covers most of the dire mistakes that you might make.
I'd love to hear what you think of British people's teeth and old men's grooming standards re nasal hair and eyebrows ...
Thanks for the important etiquette lessons. Don't want to get them into a situation they don't need to be in. The English standards you asked about....well, they are different than what we think, but that doesn't mean there's not a lot of Americans that do that. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers 🍻 Chris and Jess.
How long are you in this country for.?? (I don't mean that in a nasty way) just curious.
The military has us here till 2025 unless they have other plans. Thank you for asking and your time watching our video. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
@@DaydreamersBarn that's good to hear, I think you'd be better buying a place over hear!! Stay safe.
The lad looks like parker Schnabel,from gold rush
Haha, I guess so... Thank you for your time watching and commenting. We appreciate your support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
A hundred or two hundred years old is not old in the uk,try 500 years old to over a thousand years old is more like it,victorian age is not that old.
We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
It would probably be helpful to your American viewers to explain that when you said "Higher" you were actually saying "Hi-Ya" Kind of like the American greeting of "Hey" Ya'll
💯 agree, but it was their first time, and we wanted to let them do it they way they were comfortable. We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Well done but if you're going to bake anything or even cook something beware of the measurements and even what you are using to measure with because although we have the same name ie oz , pints etc the British measurements are bigger than American ones so the markings could be wrong ,also any books you're using will be wrong as well depending were they were printed so research before using .
An American that has lived a long time has just found out why her cooking isn't as good , all due to the markings on her jugs ( made and marked in the USA ) while using a British cook book that was using British weights ( perhaps you can send a complaint to them 😂😂
Now you why in game thrones the people from Up North talk the way they do .
Thank you so much for your kindness! It means so much to have sweet support. We appreciate your time watching and supporting our family. We will definitely share your comment with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family.

We have enjoyed it. The length though, who knows. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Chris and Jess.
I love cakes too - unfortunately.
💯 I agree! Thank you for your comment and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
History is just a thing of the Past.

2 countries divided by a common language : Winston Churchill
💯 agree! We appreciate your kindness and support! I will share with Shane and Colette. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Why cant Americans speak without saying "like", every ten seconds?
Thanks for watching... Cheers Jess
Yes annoying isn't it?
Well It’s much better than British kids dropping the “C bomb” every ten seconds. You should at least be grateful for that !!! 😜
Great vid but.. to the young lady ,you say "like" every 3 words, and it stands out like a sore thumb 👍
We think they both did amazing! We are glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
You seem like nice kids but fgs stop saying like so often.
It's a generational thing I'm afraid. It gets on my wick too.
It's a bit like the way that some people used to say "er ..." to break up their speech.
Great video but see if you can stop saying 'like' every other word. But tks for your wonderful review of my lovely country..
@@steveybabe
It's a generalised thing with their generation and the one before. A bit like starting every answer with the word "So". I can always tell when older people work with young people because that is a habit that they fall into.
At least they are not saying "Do you know what I mean?" at every verse end! 🙂
You've just said it twice in this very short sentence 🙂
They are just teenagers and have not had any public speaking courses. 😉
Would truly like to see how others would do talking to a camera and not use filler words. Shane and Colette have done a fantastic job, and I'm proud. Thanks for the view and comments! Jess
I'm sorry but I couldn't watch your video to the end. The use of the word 'like' was too much
Oh, lord... They're kids come on! Really "like" Grow UP! Like Jess 🤣
