I read the home office’s website thoroughly many times. I did everything they said so step by step.

Welcome to england but God I'd love to try all ur american food like tayta tots. Gravy biscuits all the deserts and fried chicken and thanks giving dinner and oh so many things akd god taco bell too. I wish we had american food stores here to try but all I find it expensive stuff via ebay coz the pnp is excessive akd shops only sell american sweets not other foods.
So pleased you love it here. So many Americans think we look down our nose at Americans when they come here. It's completely false.They get information from social without seeing it first hand.The videos I've seen from Americans moving here don't feel any racism towards them. To be fair I wish more Americans would move here
I hear Kyle’s concerns but let me tell you, over here we never have to worry about the safety of our children at school or being out in public. It never crosses our minds. You will soon forget the convenience of businesses in the US. Good luck! X
i just found your channel about a month ago and have been watching all your videos and love them your honest and not pretending to be some one your not
I’m an American, my husbands a Brit. He lived with me in the US for awhile (14 years ) and we made the choice 7 years ago to move to the UK. We bought a house here. I love it here. So we’ve done immigration both ways. It’s expensive! He’s got dual citizenship by default. Just need to do citizenship for the UK eventually. But, I love it here. Feels like home and has for years and years. PS - Popeyes is here in the UK!
Your swapping the convenience of always open for quality time with your children. I've lived in both places and been in the UK since early 80's. Arrived back here with my first born and one suitcase. Best thing I ever did.
I sent a wee comment on tiktok but wanted to send one here as well! I'm obsessed with your channel and find it extra relatable because I'm a Canadian, living the the UK with a British hubby and a nearly 8 month old baby. We've been on the spouse visa for a few years now (just extended it for the first time actually) so it's so nice to hear you talk about it! Also LOVING the banter you have with each other and love love love the fact that Kyle can take a joke like a Brit or Aussie as it's hard to find Americans and Canadians that know how to banter. Anyways, long time watcher on tiktok but just discovered your RUclips and have a feeling it'll be my fave channel now ❤😅
So excited to have found your channel! My family is actually emigrating from CA to Scotland in May as well for many similar reasons. Looking forward to following your journey!
Oh gosh I love this couple! Literally only found u a couple weeks ago and had to subscribe straight away! I love your humour and the relationship u 2 have. Seeing the transparency of married life without it being edited out 👏🏻 alsoooo Sheffield lass here u should sooo come to good old Yorkshire and introduce Kyle to a proper roast dinner with Yorkshire puddings and onion gravy all mushed together on 1 plate I can only bet he would have a heart attack just looking at it all items touching and on the plate 😂😂 (so with you with everything on 1 fork full/bite) …much love!
We will defo be making our way across the uk. I can’t wait to show Kyle all the greatness the uk has. He actually pulled the map up the other day and was calling our city names asking me about them. It’s so exciting and especially being in the USA now and everything is so far away it’s great how close everything is in the uk now 🩷
Just wait until he get introduced to the different accents over here 🤣 and each city “slang talk” he will be so confused with nar then me old mucka how’s tha doing, or how’s tha bin 🤣 …. Wish u all the luck with the move and here’s hoping the channel takes off u guys deserve it 🥰
Right! It’s the same as Brits tend to have a side salad on the plate whereas here it tends to be in a bowl on the side. I noticed that when I came here too
I completely agree with Caroline on the food front! As long as it makes sense, I love to add every component on my plate onto my fork to create the perfect bite! Luxury restaurants want you to purposefully eat everything together because they designed the flavors and textures to complement each other so I use that reasoning in everyday life!
Not me using your content to convince my American hubby to move back to the UK with me 😂😂😂 I’m so excited for you guys can’t wait to see all the 🇬🇧 vids
We lived in the states for 10 and 18 years. We moved back 11 years ago to Farnham in Surrey. I loved being close to family but I miss California so so much. It’s like a bereavement but we had to. I got diagnosed with Crohn’s and we lost our insurance after we lost a baby and I got sepsis. Every time I hear of a school shooting I’m so pleased we came back. There are pros and cons. I miss the weather, food and my friends. Good luck x
It's not just an English thing. Not mixing the food together is often a neurodivergent thing though. This man appears to be on the spectrum@@sophiechan722
Love the banter I love you guys so much and as others have stated love how you don’t edit out certain things makes it relatable, and I hope you nothing but happiness as you move❤
You'll have a better quality of life in the UK. I live in Scofland and its beautiful. My ex was from Pennsylvania and we broke up because i did not want to move to America. Dont get me wrong, all of our nations are being run by corrupt people and bankers, but ij comparison to America i know its a better quality of life. Its not that extreme here Kyle, you'll do fine and I'm sure you are going to enhoy it. This will bring you all peace as a family. We need good ex military men in the UK. 🙏🏻🌼

I found you guys a few days ago and I must say I consumed your videos with such enthusiasm, I'd be able to write a essay about it. But loved being able to get to know you better and looking forward to your move and all the things you'll bring.
Excited to see Kyle's transition to the UK, he already has a British cadence when he speaks sometimes. I moved from Hawaii to Birmingham eight months ago and it's been a huge culture shock. Curious to see what Boston to Surrey will be like for your family.
@@samanthab1923 Totally! 70f/21c is cold for me, since moving here 50f/10c is the norm so I've been living in thermals. The UK is definitely not for the faint of heart lol. I thought my husband's reactions to the sunshine and beaches back home were extra, but since moving here I get it. Lol
I used to live in a townhouse in Arlington VA right outside of Washington DC. They were originally designed as military housing and my tiny bathroom didn’t have a power outlet. So I bought a small make up desk to sit and dry my hair and do my makeup.
Oh my gosh your story mimics my parents so much. Myself and my brother were under five when they moved back to England (mums English dad’s American) my mum moved and a month later my dad came after he sold all of our stuff. 25 years later my dad has never been happier in this country and myself and my siblings like to visit but would never move back xx
Totally understand your reasoning for leaving the US! Kyle, I feel you about the sports teams (huge NFL & NCAA football person over here), hopefully you can get a good nfl game in next seasons schedule in England! As someone who wants to be a mom and is family planning with my fiance, I fully understand the safety concern with kids. I agree, this is not the America I’m at all proud of. Prayers don’t mean shit when these horrendous things happen! Healthy, safe babies is what matters most!! All my best to you guys ❤❤
I absolutely love your relationship and have only recently discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago 🥰 I can’t wait to see the next chapter in the UK xxx
I totally get it about it being scary to send kids to school here in the US. I’m so glad my girls are almost done with school. That’s sad for me to think that way, but it’s true. If I was in your position I’d do the same thing. ❤
Thank you for your support 🩷 I’m sorry you go through and know they will be out of school soon. We are all just doing our best with what we have aren’t we 🩷🩷
and the worst part is, you tend to get used to seeing the police at school and hearing about school lockdowns. It’s a place I swore I’d never be, but here I am.
Just found your channel and started watching this and I’m in fits already 😂 Football hooligans in Surrey, such a funny picture. And I never realised we eat in the uk so differently from Americans - of course you have to put a bit of everything on the fork! Going back to watch your other vlogs now.
Not sure how but I had no idea Kyle was ex military. I can relate, my husband is the same and has been out 2 years, it’s the best! So much freedom after
Aww I bet. I hope you’re happy now ❤ I used to work for emirates and on the Aussie flights we often had older couples flying to visit their British big kids who had moved with their families to Australia
I am convinced that in every marriage there is someone that's always trying to talk and someone that interrupts and I will not be proved otherwise 😂😂😂❤❤❤ great video❤
First time I've stumbled across one of your videos. Great how completely relaxed you both are. Ive subscribed and will definitely catch up on your families return to blighty. Good luck and I'll be watching several videos consecutively to see how it goes 👍🙂
You will miss America, England is not perfect but it can be a quaint little island. Find the group of friends that fit your mindset and activities for the moments of escapism and I think you could be happy here. 9B4M The Family Adventures are a great example of an American family who have absolutely made the most out of moving to the UK whilst adding to their kids experiences. Best of luck to you both.
Everything here is smaller - and often more expensive! Like the houses especially at the moment. Some terraced houses in decent areas are half a million and you’re squished between two families sharing walls. I think possibly the negativity of British people and how we don’t support each other/don’t like seeing each others success might take an adjustment period. A lack of drive-throughs and the difference in service attitudes maybe? I really hope he likes it! Keep us updated with honest opinions on the move!
Hmmm the housing prices are pretty similar to where we live now in the USA. We live in pretty much Boston and it’s very expensive. So not too much of a shock in move for us. We already had that shock moving from a more southern state to a northern state luckily. So the blow isn’t there. One less thing to shock him 😂
My husband’s best friend grew up in Cheshire. They are both 6’5”. My husband said he felt like he was too big for everything in England. The beds, the glassware, doorways, clothing, food portions and especially the cars were too small to be comfortable for him. He feels like a bull in a china shop every time we travel to Europe. (He’s an unusually tall Italian) Hope Kyle loves the UK 🇬🇧 and that your whole family thrives there.
I'm an Army brat (US) Dad was 9 years in the US Army and 11 years in the USAF, we lived in Germany, the States, Italy and Dad's final posting was the UK, that was a long time ago!!! Dad retired in 1976 from the military, not working in general, and never left the UK, he is a resident alien and has the indefinite right to live here, he is almost 90! Myself, my brother and sister all have dual nationality, Mum was British. Although we have always been a very long way from my American family, (who, coincidentally are from Salem MA and the North Shore area)still feel very close to them as the contact has always been there, made even easier these days through social media etc. I'm sure Kyle will be absolutely fine, he seems pretty easy going and being ex military knows what it's like to move to new places. I would say, don't limit yourself just to the South, travel the UK, it's a beautiful country, yes it has it's faults...nowhere is perfect!! Plus you'll have mainland Europe on the doorstep. I've waffled, sorry. My Dad has never regretted staying in the UK because he always believed it was best for us as a family. Anyhoo, all the best with the move, and looking forward to seeing how it all pans out.
Yes it’s great now with things like social media and even WhatsApp. For me being in the USA I know I wouldn’t have survived with one expensive landline call a week and letters to my friends and family. We are so lucky nowadays. Plus east coast USA is not too long of a flight at all so we will definitely be back for visits ❤
Caroline I think if uk doesn’t work out come to Ireland! You love the food already (I saw chef sauce!) and Kyle there is an American football tournament which is huge every year in Dublin! Also my sister has to eat her food separately - I pile it all on!! Also in Ireland everything is a “yoke”. Like “that yoke there”, “where is the yoke” “what is that yoke” “pass me that yoke there” its Irish slang for something that you can't remember the name of
My husband and I spend 24/7 together, I may go to the post office once a week on my own or something but that’s it. We live together, work together, walk the dog together even cook together. He can do whatever he likes and so can I. I just don’t want to and he says he doesn’t either. At Christmas I enjoy going Xmas shopping alone but that’s it.
Kyle your comments about why you are moving made me so grateful I am in Canada (thank you for your service). You will love England and you can watch all the major sports with season long subscriptions. Though I hear they play hockey in the UK. Don't worry about bland food, friends from North America (even RUclips ones) can airship you hot sauce!!
Not Kyle versus Kingdom. Just Kyle’s Kingdom. It’ll soon be his home here so I think he has entitlement to some ownership, once here. Love to see uk from his perspective. ….and yours again! And the kids’. 🇬🇧
I think Kyle will find new hobbies plus you are on the doorstep to Europe for snowboarding. I moved to France 18 years ago and have regretted it, missed my family, my country, culture. The UK has really nice people. I think Kyle will have some struggles but he is a tough guy and a survivor. I hope he finds a great job and new friends quickly.
I'm British and have a Canadian partner, we just moved back to the UK from Canada and it's so true how the story is different coming this way than me going over there! We used Worldwide Animal Travel to bring our dog here :)
We are living in Canada and want to move back to the uk (both from the uk) I’m overwhelmed by how much there is to do. We have houses in Canada, 2 kids, a dog and house bunny. How do we start this move back!? Haha
I'm an American living in the UK for the last 20 years and I LOVE it here. You get over the fact shops aren't open as late...I don't shop very often anymore. Buying groceries by 4pm on a Sunday is still something I forget but there's usually a co-op nearby. I like David Lloyd and there's a nice Nuffield Health gym where I live... but of course depends where you are. My husband is Scottish but we cook a lot of Mexican food at our house. I've never been a major sauce person so gravy still goes on the side - some parts of England are all about drowning everything in sauce...I can't do it. Salads on the side for me too!!
I absolutely love you guys. You definitely need to come up north when you get settled. It’s beautiful ‘up ere’. My girls are very close in age to Charlie and Olivia and we have some cracking soft play. Good luck with the move. Xx
Absolutely love how real you guys are - thank you! Need more of this kind of content in my life! 💖 from a UK Mama that is also drinking a glass of oyster bay as I watch this 😅
I love how Americans seem to think everything closes early in the uk. I live in Brighton, which is only one counties over from Surrey. And we have multiple shops open 24/7 with food & drink inc alcohol, and we have so many food delivery options, we even have popeyes in Brighton!
Americans have sugar in everything and have restaurant portions big enough to feed you for 3 days - don't judge the idea of putting everything on the fork 🤣 Speaking as an Aussie of a British parent that also happens to be a chef, the whole point is that all the foods on the plate compliment each other in terms of taste and texture so you eat them together for the full experience. If you only eat one thing at a time you don't get to taste what the meal is MEANT to taste like. Also Americans cut everything, put their knife down, switch their fork to the other hand, and just eat one handed.
Omg Kyle, u haven’t lived mate, I’m Aussie and we’re a lot like the poms! Mix that shit together yum it’s bubble n squeak. N as for swearing, the poms are troopers at that! this journey is going to open Kyle’s eyes and life will be soo exciting! And if not come to Australia we’ll look after u,u guys would luv it here!
I so enjoy the two of you !! AND I THINK YOUR DECISION TO GO TO UK IS BRILLIANT .I have an American husband and couldnt live there because of the crime etc .New Zealand is so much safer Sending warm greetings & aroha from New Zealand
I’m so glad you are all happy in NZ. Iv been a few times when I worked for emirates and it is one of my fav places. I hope to be able to take Kyle and my kids one day ❤
I know obviously it's no where near the same, because your move is massive. But my partner left England and we moved to NI (my home country) and he's the happiest he's been in our whole relationship. My biggest fear was him being unhappy, but it was the best thing for us.
Caroline reminds of my european aunts, my parents are my only family in the usa and I'm an only child. My mom did absolutely everything an auntie is meant to do as it's been just my parents and I since i was born.
So excited for you moving back. I’m from Surrey too (also Caroline, also married to an American living in the northeast, we have four kiddos and are done). I miss the UK a lot, but mainly my family. It’ll be sooo nice to have time with your mum!! 🥰 Don’t think moving back is a prospect for us anytime soon so living through your experience vicariously. 😂 Have you taken your kids to Bocketts Farm? My kids love it there. And Guildford Spectrum for swim. They also adore Peppa Pig World at Paulton’s Park down near Southampton. Like you, gun violence terrifies me. It’s one of the main reasons I’d like to move back also. 😢
Oi caught on to your channel as you were having the baby and love it. You are great Caroline. Love you're humor and accent. Are you staying on the tube?. I'm in LA and Popeyes was born here and very popular. Glad you like it. Going to keep following and hope you continue.
Things do not close that early in the UK. Asda is open 24 hours except Sundays when it closes at 4pm. Most Express stores and corner shops are open on Sundays. Town (shopping centres), and grocery shops are also open on Sundays, it’s just shorter hours; where I live Sunday opening hours are 11am-5pm. We have big gyms and 24 hour gyms. We have takeouts that close in the early hours of the morning. I once ordered food after midnight whilst pulling an all-nighter. Restaurants aren’t typically open past 11pm, I’ll give you that.
Yay another video! I was literally checking in here for the past two days- didn’t know how much I relied on them for my evening phone trawl! 🤣🤣 love you guys 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Just love how normal and down to earth you are! ❤❤❤
I agree with Kyle, putting all your food together and then covering it with gravy is a no. Gravy on mashed potatoes yes. Mashed mixed with cabbage no. But mashed with peas yes 😂
Has Kyle seen “Little Britain”? I would love to see his reactions to this. Love watching you all. Im so hungry and now want to try popeyes. Following from the South Coast in the UK! Chin chin 🍾 😘
Just watched and sorry if you have already been told this….. but game changer!! We now have popeyes in the UK! And I will 1000% drive out of my way to get it! Best chicken ever (imo) xxxxx
I love how you don’t edit out of the real moments of your marriage. It’s so relatable
Thank you. We really want make sure we show the real us 🩷

So excited for you guys! I loved to the U.K. from America to be with my now husband in 2008 and love it. Best of luck ❤
New subscriber, watched for a couple of weeks now and bloody ( English endearment ) love you guys❤.
You have great chemistry loving the banter!
I absolutely love your relationship and have only recently discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago 🥰 I can’t wait to see the next chapter in the UK xxx
Aww thank you Stephanie 🩷🩷
This is such a wholesome video!!!! I've been watching you on TikTok since before Charlie was born!
Oh my gosh you’ve been with me a while. Thank you so much 🩷🩷🩷
@@Mummysflippinhouse you are so welcome!!! You have a beautiful family 🥰
Excited to see how life unfolds for you all in the UK! Really enjoy these videos of you two.
I totally get it about it being scary to send kids to school here in the US. I’m so glad my girls are almost done with school. That’s sad for me to think that way, but it’s true. If I was in your position I’d do the same thing. ❤
Thank you for your support 🩷 I’m sorry you go through and know they will be out of school soon. We are all just doing our best with what we have aren’t we 🩷🩷
and the worst part is, you tend to get used to seeing the police at school and hearing about school lockdowns. It’s a place I swore I’d never be, but here I am.
Just found your channel and started watching this and I’m in fits already 😂
Football hooligans in Surrey, such a funny picture. And I never realised we eat in the uk so differently from Americans - of course you have to put a bit of everything on the fork! Going back to watch your other vlogs now.
Not sure how but I had no idea Kyle was ex military. I can relate, my husband is the same and has been out 2 years, it’s the best! So much freedom after
Yes he did almost 10 years 🩷
I hope everything goes well for you
I moved from uk to Australia. Big move took a long time to settle here but very happy now xxx
Aww I bet. I hope you’re happy now ❤ I used to work for emirates and on the Aussie flights we often had older couples flying to visit their British big kids who had moved with their families to Australia
I am convinced that in every marriage there is someone that's always trying to talk and someone that interrupts and I will not be proved otherwise 😂😂😂❤❤❤ great video❤
First time I've stumbled across one of your videos. Great how completely relaxed you both are. Ive subscribed and will definitely catch up on your families return to blighty. Good luck and I'll be watching several videos consecutively to see how it goes 👍🙂
You will miss America, England is not perfect but it can be a quaint little island. Find the group of friends that fit your mindset and activities for the moments of escapism and I think you could be happy here. 9B4M The Family Adventures are a great example of an American family who have absolutely made the most out of moving to the UK whilst adding to their kids experiences. Best of luck to you both.
Everything here is smaller - and often more expensive! Like the houses especially at the moment. Some terraced houses in decent areas are half a million and you’re squished between two families sharing walls. I think possibly the negativity of British people and how we don’t support each other/don’t like seeing each others success might take an adjustment period. A lack of drive-throughs and the difference in service attitudes maybe? I really hope he likes it! Keep us updated with honest opinions on the move!
Hmmm the housing prices are pretty similar to where we live now in the USA. We live in pretty much Boston and it’s very expensive. So not too much of a shock in move for us. We already had that shock moving from a more southern state to a northern state luckily. So the blow isn’t there. One less thing to shock him 😂
You two are great! Love watching you! So real!
Aw I live in Surrey! Wish you guys all the best with your move! 🤍
My husband’s best friend grew up in Cheshire. They are both 6’5”. My husband said he felt like he was too big for everything in England. The beds, the glassware, doorways, clothing, food portions and especially the cars were too small to be comfortable for him. He feels like a bull in a china shop every time we travel to Europe. (He’s an unusually tall Italian) Hope Kyle loves the UK 🇬🇧 and that your whole family thrives there.
Haha Kyle always says he thinks England is very small
Just found your channel and I love it I’ve been watching your videos you’re both so relatable.
I'm an Army brat (US) Dad was 9 years in the US Army and 11 years in the USAF, we lived in Germany, the States, Italy and Dad's final posting was the UK, that was a long time ago!!! Dad retired in 1976 from the military, not working in general, and never left the UK, he is a resident alien and has the indefinite right to live here, he is almost 90! Myself, my brother and sister all have dual nationality, Mum was British. Although we have always been a very long way from my American family, (who, coincidentally are from Salem MA and the North Shore area)still feel very close to them as the contact has always been there, made even easier these days through social media etc. I'm sure Kyle will be absolutely fine, he seems pretty easy going and being ex military knows what it's like to move to new places. I would say, don't limit yourself just to the South, travel the UK, it's a beautiful country, yes it has it's faults...nowhere is perfect!! Plus you'll have mainland Europe on the doorstep. I've waffled, sorry. My Dad has never regretted staying in the UK because he always believed it was best for us as a family. Anyhoo, all the best with the move, and looking forward to seeing how it all pans out.
Yes it’s great now with things like social media and even WhatsApp. For me being in the USA I know I wouldn’t have survived with one expensive landline call a week and letters to my friends and family. We are so lucky nowadays. Plus east coast USA is not too long of a flight at all so we will definitely be back for visits ❤
Caroline I think if uk doesn’t work out come to Ireland! You love the food already (I saw chef sauce!) and Kyle there is an American football tournament which is huge every year in Dublin! Also my sister has to eat her food separately - I pile it all on!!
Also in Ireland everything is a “yoke”. Like “that yoke there”, “where is the yoke” “what is that yoke” “pass me that yoke there” its Irish slang for something that you can't remember the name of
Yeah it’s the perfect in between UK and US!
I just can’t wait for your videos in England! I’ve always wanted to move there myself
My husband and I spend 24/7 together, I may go to the post office once a week on my own or something but that’s it. We live together, work together, walk the dog together even cook together. He can do whatever he likes and so can I. I just don’t want to and he says he doesn’t either. At Christmas I enjoy going Xmas shopping alone but that’s it.
That is such a sad existence
That's cute ❤
I'm British, and I'm with Kyle on the mashing foods together front. Nope. Just no. Vegetables, always first. You should always eat worst to best 😂
But you can blend them in 😂 and smother them with gravy
@Mummysflippinhouse Oh, I agree wholeheartedly on the gravy. Everything should be swimming in it 😂
Nothing to say except I love this channel ❤
Oh and…we have Popeyes here now!! There’s one in Richmond and it’s aaaaaace x
Richmond like London/surrey Richmond? If so woohoo!
@@Mummysflippinhouse yep! Right outside the station…#blessedinnit 💅💚
I’m so sorry, but little Olivia just staring and listening to the convo has me dying 😂❤
I’m so thrilled you’re moving to the UK.
Kyle your comments about why you are moving made me so grateful I am in Canada (thank you for your service). You will love England and you can watch all the major sports with season long subscriptions. Though I hear they play hockey in the UK. Don't worry about bland food, friends from North America (even RUclips ones) can airship you hot sauce!!
Not Kyle versus Kingdom. Just Kyle’s Kingdom. It’ll soon be his home here so I think he has entitlement to some ownership, once here. Love to see uk from his perspective. ….and yours again! And the kids’. 🇬🇧
I think Kyle will find new hobbies plus you are on the doorstep to Europe for snowboarding. I moved to France 18 years ago and have regretted it, missed my family, my country, culture. The UK has really nice people. I think Kyle will have some struggles but he is a tough guy and a survivor. I hope he finds a great job and new friends quickly.
I'm British and have a Canadian partner, we just moved back to the UK from Canada and it's so true how the story is different coming this way than me going over there! We used Worldwide Animal Travel to bring our dog here :)
We are living in Canada and want to move back to the uk (both from the uk) I’m overwhelmed by how much there is to do. We have houses in Canada, 2 kids, a dog and house bunny. How do we start this move back!? Haha
I'm an American living in the UK for the last 20 years and I LOVE it here. You get over the fact shops aren't open as late...I don't shop very often anymore. Buying groceries by 4pm on a Sunday is still something I forget but there's usually a co-op nearby. I like David Lloyd and there's a nice Nuffield Health gym where I live... but of course depends where you are. My husband is Scottish but we cook a lot of Mexican food at our house. I've never been a major sauce person so gravy still goes on the side - some parts of England are all about drowning everything in sauce...I can't do it. Salads on the side for me too!!
You two are couple goals!! ❤
Oh bless thank you. Definitely not perfect but happy not to be 🩷
I absolutely love you guys. You definitely need to come up north when you get settled. It’s beautiful ‘up ere’. My girls are very close in age to Charlie and Olivia and we have some cracking soft play. Good luck with the move. Xx
Love Kyle’s humour coming through. Does he have a job lined up in the UK? X
He will hopefully transfer. His company is a large international company luckily and moving is very common ❤
Absolutely love how real you guys are - thank you! Need more of this kind of content in my life! 💖 from a UK Mama that is also drinking a glass of oyster bay as I watch this 😅
Loved this so much x
I love how Americans seem to think everything closes early in the uk. I live in Brighton, which is only one counties over from Surrey. And we have multiple shops open 24/7 with food & drink inc alcohol, and we have so many food delivery options, we even have popeyes in Brighton!
I’m with Caroline the flavours when mixed complement each other x
Great taste 😊😂
Ooo you guys are adorable!!!! Good luck with the move!
Americans have sugar in everything and have restaurant portions big enough to feed you for 3 days - don't judge the idea of putting everything on the fork 🤣 Speaking as an Aussie of a British parent that also happens to be a chef, the whole point is that all the foods on the plate compliment each other in terms of taste and texture so you eat them together for the full experience. If you only eat one thing at a time you don't get to taste what the meal is MEANT to taste like. Also Americans cut everything, put their knife down, switch their fork to the other hand, and just eat one handed.
American married to a Brit living in Surrey here! 👋🏻 They have several Popeyes dotted around here. 😊
Do they have biscuits?
@@laurenanderson7330YES!!
A Popeyes just opened in Richmond! I had it the other day and it was a gamechanger
Isn’t it SO GOOD!
Omg Kyle, u haven’t lived mate, I’m Aussie and we’re a lot like the poms! Mix that shit together yum it’s bubble n squeak. N as for swearing, the poms are troopers at that! this journey is going to open Kyle’s eyes and life will be soo exciting!
And if not come to Australia we’ll look after u,u guys would luv it here!
I so enjoy the two of you !! AND I THINK YOUR DECISION TO GO TO UK IS BRILLIANT .I have an American husband and couldnt live there because of the crime etc .New Zealand is so much safer
Sending warm greetings & aroha from New Zealand
I’m so glad you are all happy in NZ. Iv been a few times when I worked for emirates and it is one of my fav places. I hope to be able to take Kyle and my kids one day ❤
I can’t wait to see your new life in England
I love you guys . Can’t wait for England vlogs
I know obviously it's no where near the same, because your move is massive. But my partner left England and we moved to NI (my home country) and he's the happiest he's been in our whole relationship. My biggest fear was him being unhappy, but it was the best thing for us.
Caroline reminds of my european aunts, my parents are my only family in the usa and I'm an only child. My mom did absolutely everything an auntie is meant to do as it's been just my parents and I since i was born.
Love it! Your kids will have lovely English accents! ❤😊
So excited for you moving back. I’m from Surrey too (also Caroline, also married to an American living in the northeast, we have four kiddos and are done). I miss the UK a lot, but mainly my family. It’ll be sooo nice to have time with your mum!! 🥰
Don’t think moving back is a prospect for us anytime soon so living through your experience vicariously. 😂
Have you taken your kids to Bocketts Farm? My kids love it there. And Guildford Spectrum for swim. They also adore Peppa Pig World at Paulton’s Park down near Southampton.
Like you, gun violence terrifies me. It’s one of the main reasons I’d like to move back also. 😢
Instant subscribe I bloody luv ya, can’t wait for uk content
Oi caught on to your channel as you were having the baby and love it. You are great Caroline. Love you're humor and accent. Are you staying on the tube?. I'm in LA and Popeyes was born here and very popular. Glad you like it. Going to keep following and hope you continue.
Things do not close that early in the UK. Asda is open 24 hours except Sundays when it closes at 4pm. Most Express stores and corner shops are open on Sundays. Town (shopping centres), and grocery shops are also open on Sundays, it’s just shorter hours; where I live Sunday opening hours are 11am-5pm. We have big gyms and 24 hour gyms. We have takeouts that close in the early hours of the morning. I once ordered food after midnight whilst pulling an all-nighter. Restaurants aren’t typically open past 11pm, I’ll give you that.
My new favorite family. ❤I love u guys
Love Caroline, she’s hilarious
I love her too ❤
You just mentioned all the reasons that I am moving back to London permanently in the next couple of months with my kids.
Yay another video! I was literally checking in here for the past two days- didn’t know how much I relied on them for my evening phone trawl! 🤣🤣 love you guys 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Just love how normal and down to earth you are! ❤❤❤
Hopefully wil have another long form video on Friday x
@@Mummysflippinhouse aaaah brilliant- even my husband watches and I can’t ever get him to watch RUclips normally! So major compliment there 🤣 xx
I agree with Kyle, putting all your food together and then covering it with gravy is a no. Gravy on mashed potatoes yes. Mashed mixed with cabbage no. But mashed with peas yes 😂
Mad respect for you two! Wish I could go with you!
Has Kyle seen “Little Britain”? I would love to see his reactions to this. Love watching you all. Im so hungry and now want to try popeyes. Following from the South Coast in the UK! Chin chin 🍾 😘
Omg you need to try Popeyes. There are a few in the uk now. I heard Brighton does. Road trip!
Kyle, you're missing out on the Yorkshire pudding stuffed with all the veg, potatoes, meat and gravy. Its like the perfect yorkie sandwich 😅
Just watched and sorry if you have already been told this….. but game changer!! We now have popeyes in the UK! And I will 1000% drive out of my way to get it! Best chicken ever (imo) xxxxx
The USA is a dumpster fire. I’m glad you are making this decision for your family. Pray for us in November guys.
We will be supporting you all in spirit 🩷
Lovely family, the lass is wonderful the lad is super awesome
