Hi 👋 Dione and Chris back home great little video really enjoyed hope u are having a great time I love your houses over in 🇺🇸 sitting on the porch drinking sweet tea I love sweet tea so nice yes we had snow in Ludlow lovely flat of your folks we live in a one bed flat all on one level nice and cosy sending hugs to you all across the miles take care Clare 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
Flats are great, Clare. When we go back to bricks and mortar we will go for a 1 bedroom flat, which will feel like a mansion compared to the van😂. I bet your place is full of love and warmth. I'm glad you were cosy and warm in the flat when it snowed! Sweet tea, my dad's addicted to it. I've been drinking rootbeer. I've only met 1 brit who liked it 😂. Everyone else says it tastes like medicine and I think it might 😂. Thank you again for always brightening my day!! Have a good week and I hope I'll have some content next week of a big Thanksgiving family dinner. 🇬🇧🇺🇸💕❤️
Morning Just discovered your channel so looking forward to following your adventures ❤ Great to see prices in US supermarkets. Have a great weekend ❤ Morgs, Jo and Boo
I'm glad you didn't have the snow! A little is just nice. Yes, when I moved to the UK, it was definitely more expensive in the UK, then we had the 9p baked bean wars 😂. Have a great week and really appreciate the watch and comment ❤️🇬🇧
Loved it! Really informative and put together xx I really liked your Dad's artwork, could not see it all properly but it looked really varied and interesting, bravo papa van Andrews!
Thank you Stephen! 😊 always love hearing from you! Yes, my camera work was rushed. My mom has major memory issues so I did it too fast 😂 was worried she would interrupt. I'm already missing🇬🇧 the van and Chris, not necessarily in that order 😂🙏💕❤️
@vanandrewschrisanddione lol poor Chris all snowed in! It did not seem rushed at all, plus if it feels OK for everyone you can just include it all, we will still love it xx I know it's more sensitive than that but all I'm saying is don't apologise, it was a good vid!
❤️♥️💕🇬🇧🇬🇧 and tell Dan not to get me even started on how great the NHS is. Met a fairly wealthy guy, with good insurance, battling terminal cancer and battling his insurance companies. Right hand doesn't know what left hand is doing and he is sick and getting bills for thousands and calling and arguing about the bills! He was very jealous that I only had to sign a few consent forms!! So our weather may be crap, but way of life is much easier, especially in a van 😂💕♥️❤️
It’s great to look how different it is there in the USA. We would love to go one day however I hate flying !😬 It’s definitely chilly here right now 🥶 Have a lovely Thanksgiving Gary & Mallissa xx
Thank you for the lovely comment! It's 8 hours here on the plane. And it's hard work 😂 and a very long day! Keep warm! I just showed the video to my parents with you all on it. They loved the story that you recognised us 🇬🇧💕❤️xx
Hey Dione! ❤ We've just watched this together, and we loved this, the price comparisons are always fascinating to us and as we've never been to the U.S (well, Stephen has, once), I love seeing the differences. It seems like it's even more expensive there overall, which must be hard for a lot of people given the UK is pricey as it is! Especially factoring in healthcare and all the rest of it they have to deal with there. I nearly screamed at seeing the Spam 😂 But then I had to google it, and imagine the shock that it's actually an American product! Now I think I read that once before but I completely forgot, it seems so associated with the UK, even the word "spam", it's ridiculously British 😂 Loved your editing in this, you're doing great ❤ And also fascinated by your dad's artwork, they all look very intriguing. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying your time there, and that Chris and the van survived the snow storm intact! Do you and Chris celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK? I must admit I know very little about it, apart from people eating turkey 🙈 Take care ❤
Thank you Dan, always love hearing from you and Stephen 💕. I'm struggling with content because my mom can't be left alone, memory issues, etc. So we aren't going anywhere. My brother has invited me to stay a few days at his just to have a different environment. Spam, especially because of Monty Python does seem British 😂. My brother is a history teacher and said the first year pilgrims arrived in winter and nearly starved so the next Autumn they did have a big celebration, but turkeys weren't on the list. Geese and ducks were on the menu. I'm such a cynic now, I don't believe much of history 😂. Chris and I don't celebrate thanksgiving, I was usually working 😂 and it's a bit close to Xmas! My family are all watching American football 🥱 and it's been so long, I can't even remember the rules 😂 and damn, it's slow 😂. I think I'm now far more British than American 😂. I really dislike American sitcoms, just not as clever as British sitcoms 😂. Thank you Dan. I so appreciate your watching and I'm open to critiques. Waffling 😂😂. Means so much to see both your comments 🇬🇧💕❤️🙏
One more thing, Florida produces a lot of produce, beef cows. It just had a horrific hurricane season . Farmland destroyed. Also , California has had many years of drought and alternately flooding. Droughts in our bread basket states. Poisonous flooding of rivers and outlets all over the country. So yeah, our edible food is expensive.
Thank you, Nancy, for your insights! I didn't go into a lot of detail, obviously. I don't usually do this kind of content as we live in our van in the UK, which, not only saves us money, but means we get to experience the beauty of nature, and soak it up. I'm also thankful and grateful that I went through cancer in the UK. And yes, I often meditate and send out love and hope. My generation may have been the last to have real freedom back in the day. Thank you again. ✌️🙏🫶
Don't get me started on how great the NHS is 😂. Talked to another cancer survivor here and his insurance is a nightmare, right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing and getting billed for thousands and whilst ill fighting his insurers. AND he is wealthy!! So definitely UK 🥰 Thanks as always Paul 😘 💕🙏✌️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Trump didn’t get ahold of UK’s economy in his last Presidency with China tariffs and now he wants to add more! We been paying for higher prices since then. I’ve seen the prices their, you guys are so blessed
Oh yes, I feel very blessed as I went through breast cancer treatment in the UK and I'm so very thankful I didn't have to fight insurance agencies whilst sick. Thank you and bless you 🙏✌️🫶
Most of the footage was from Food Lion in Virginia. Another very good price comparison, much better than this one 😂 is ruclips.net/video/U_IvMnad2lw/видео.htmlsi=mN9mwZ_IfOoEl7RI Thanks for watching. 😊
Your family lives in one of the most exclusive areas of the USA. I'm pretty sure everything is higher priced and that the community votes blue. Right now we have electric trucks only for shipping in and out of the ports of California. No diesel trucks allowed within the state, so it is hard to get produce and shipped items from the West Coast. Our govt has spent something like 6 billion to build 8 charging stations across the US. Mostly , the money was spent on cameras, at intersections. This is because we have so many "accidents". This is really to spy on citizens. In, Delaware, a large bridge at a major port went down. No one knows why. It was not really investigated. Our ports are old. Most countries use ships that are to big for docking, at our ports. We are more than likely, not getting much shipping from the Middle East, because of the danger for ships. We are being heavily taxed to support 20 million "migrants". They get benefits , way beyond, what any American can get. And we have to pay for it. We stopped producing oil, and the cost of energy is ridiculously high. Our food sources seem to always be getting sick, so herds of cows and poultry farms lose all those animals. They cannot be sold. Right now, laying chicken's eggs are "sick" and we pay exorbitant prices for them. Food processing plants are always being shut down, because of unclean practices. Our food is filled with chemicals and pesticides, seed oils, high fructose corn syrup and other ingredients that make us sick. An unhealthy, sick nation with high crime and other perils can not defend itself.

I remember when it was the other way around. We would take an almost empty suitcase to bring back goodies 😂. Thanks for sharing 😊
Aww thank you for watching! Yes when I moved to the UK it was definitely more expensive than the US. 😊❤
Morning
Just discovered your channel so looking forward to following your adventures ❤
Great to see prices in US supermarkets.
Have a great weekend ❤
Morgs, Jo and Boo
Sorry I missed this message! Thank you!! ❤️🎅🎄
Interesting, last time I bought in a supermarket, 1985, it was the other way around. Enjoy the sun, no snow in NE Scotland.
I'm glad you didn't have the snow! A little is just nice. Yes, when I moved to the UK, it was definitely more expensive in the UK, then we had the 9p baked bean wars 😂. Have a great week and really appreciate the watch and comment ❤️🇬🇧
@@vanandrewschrisanddione I should have said I was in Homestead for 4 months "working " 😆
😂😂 Homestead will have changed a lot, too. ❤️
Happy Thanks giving Dione. You should of bought poor old Chris a hot water bottle before you left.. 🤣
😂😂 I think he went out and bought a Highland cow that you put in the microwave to heat up 😂. Thanks Gareth, always lovely to hear from you! ❤️🙏🇬🇧

Can't quite decide where I'd rather be.... 🤔 Enjoyed by Millionaire Paul 👌

Where did you go shopping in the US? I have been living in the US for over 20 years and never seen prices this high.
Most of the footage was from Food Lion in Virginia. Another very good price comparison, much better than this one 😂 is ruclips.net/video/U_IvMnad2lw/видео.htmlsi=mN9mwZ_IfOoEl7RI
Thanks for watching. 😊
