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
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.
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
Some deep introspection has been applied here for an honest self-assessment and report. Well done, Jess, and thank you for your appreciation of this small Island complex. Long may your charming videos enchant us xx
Thank you so very much! I love to reflect on what I have learned and have yet to learn. This beautiful country will always have a place in my heart. I love the people, and it all to be completely honest! I really appreciate your support and kindness. I hope you have a weekend! 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.
I have to agree with you. We definitely appreciate getting to see what's going on in other countries for sure since moving here. Thank you for your comment and time. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
I love the fact that you have lived there long enough not to annoy the Scots and Welsh by not mixing up the English flag with the union jack when talking specifically about England. The UK isn't England and England isn't the UK. Kudos. I just wish other people would follow your example.
Oh, I definitely try to show my support and love for all countries that make up the UK. I do live in England and am learning so much not only from my travel experiences here but from this channel and supporters like you. I appreciate your time watching and leaving me a comment. Hope you have a lovely day! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
How would anyone mix up the flag of st george? It is everywhere, on the Barcelona soccer badge, the symbol of Genoa, and the flag of Geogia, are you assuming that Americans are too stupid to know what it is?
Hi , my philosophy on life is to not worry or stress about things you can't change , make the most of what you have and spend as much time with family as you can beacause you never know what's round the corner. Great your more or less settled and happy be a shame for you to leave us when the time comes 😊❤
That is a great way to look at things. Once you figure those out it is all about implementing them. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Thank you so much. I have definitely enjoyed the slowdown to just live life. It is just so wonderful and peaceful. I definitely appreciate you, my friend. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
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!
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
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.
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.
I am English and just always love hearing Americans, my sister lived in Needingworth, near Lakenheath, I love meeting Americans, you guys are always so funny and friendly, I hope someday to visit your beautiful nation and visit my relatives (my cousins are Italian/English living in New York). I love how you relate your experiences here, please stay with us
Thank you for your kindness and support! I hope you get to experience the USA as well. It's a very large place and you have to take a car to get places, unfortunately. I hope you have the most amazing week. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Another great video Jess. I have seen some sheep that might do well in the UP - Swiss Valais sheep - you will love them. I love your insights into British life and into our Royal Family.
Fabulous, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm now searching those sheep! Thank you, friend. I definitely appreciate your kindness and insight. Have a great day! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Why did you mention the "You Knows" I hadn't noticed before that. I watch a few US RUclipsrs and enjoy them but it is great to hear your views on the UK
I know, but if I didn't, someone would have called me out. So I call myself out for it.. 😉 I really appreciate your time commenting and watching my video. We love our fun and love for the UK. Hope you have the most amazing day! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
I was looking at any flight to North Carolina with last-minute notice. I'm sure if I plan ahead, it would be a little cheaper. I'm going to work with my friend Becca, who is a travel agent, to help me get a great deal. I appreciate your time watching. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
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.
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
We have been to Wale two times and love it! We're looking forward to many more advanced there. We appreciate your kindness and support. Have a lovely day. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
With airfares it pays to keep a regular watch for deals. You can fly to America relatively cheaply but those tickets get bought fast. Also pays to be flexible, google flights will tell you the cheapest dates
Most definitely, I love it here. My heart is so happy learning and exploring this beautiful country. Love to be open-minded and interested in what's going on in the world. Thank you for your support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
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.
Always love your videos. I'm interested to know. Are you picking up British words? Example Boot /Trunk, Lift / Elevator, Car park / parking lot? Keep making the videos🙂
Getting employment might be made difficult because employers may assume you won't be around for long. Especially if extensive training is involved, it might just put them off. Nothing personal, I'm sure.
I agree with you, friend and I have come to be okay with that. I understand that it is a lot for a company to take on someone. Definitely if they don't know if the individual will be around for the long run. Appreciate your insight. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Book in advance. The wife and I are flying business class to Toronto in August. For two return flights it was £4200. If I booked to go next week the return fares are over £20,000
i've only recently learned that Americans don't eat lamb - it blew my mind. its the best meat for a Sunday roast, and it's not even close. You have to have mint sauce too.
We are right there with you with lamb in the US. However, not with you with the mint sauce. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Hiya, What a wonderful family you all are, I really hope when you get back to the US you succeed in evey endeavor but if by chance you find yourselves missing our lands then please come back and make this your home too❤.
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 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇪🇺
I was wondering.... RUclips does that at times. So glad you're back enjoying our videos. Have missed your comments and support. We're definitely loving our time here. Hope you are well! Thank you for finding us again! We appreciate your love and support. Have a lovely week! 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.
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.
Plus take advantage of the cheap flights to continental Europe from the UK as you can get return tickets to Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Prague etc for as little as £30 return ❤xxx
@DaydreamersBarn ...don't the USAF do free seats back on some of their transport planes ....they used to I remember back in the 90's or is that just for service men and women but not for their partners? xx
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.
You could fly from Birmingham to JFK on April 17th, return May 15th for £416 (hand luggage only included). Maybe the cost of an internal US flight to where you want to go might be more than this.
Thank you so much.I have now started finding that there are certain days to fly on. Also, to plan the trip in advance. Unfortunately, this trip would have been last minute due to family. Appreciate your insight and time. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Thank you so much for the lovely support! We really love it and will be sad to leave. I'm definitely looking at home/ land here. We love all the kindness! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
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.
I definitely LOVE lamb! I have always used an electric kettle, even in the US. I love a proper cuppa and pour over coffee. I appreciate your time watching. Have a great day! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
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.
Don't you have USAAF passenger jets flying to the States that you can use. When I was in Cyprus, the RAF had a daily service to UK that mil personnel & dependents used. Just be aware that the seats may be backward facing, like mil planes here are! LOL1
They are an option, but it is not a guarantee if you can get on and when it will be leaving/going. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Hi Jess...a great video as usual. Yes the Royal Family have a great heritage over 1000 years.. I think the first King was King Offa in 757 !!!.As I was born in 1959 I am experiencing my 2nd Monach. My Grandfather who was born in 1885 and died in 1965 saw Six....!!!...Queen Victoria 1837 Edward VII 1901 George V 1910 Edward VIII 1936 George VI 1936 and Queen Elizabeth II 1952
Yeah, so I would have to rent a car and 600 there, and 600 back is still over 1000 pounds. Just for a flight, no luggage, rental car, or anything. I'm definitely keeping an eye out, and trying to plan a little more in advance will be a bit cheaper, I hope. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Hello I randomly clicked on your video. And I heard you mentioning that flights to the US are expensive which is true however, I have found cheap flights with Aer Lingus, Air Transat and Icelandair can be like £400 return which hopefully is helpful information to you. Glad you are enjoying living in the U.K. and you have subscribe from me.
Well, I felt horrible while editing, and I noticed it, so I wanted to say something. I felt I looked cute in the video and didn't want to re-record. 😆 🤍 Jess x
We will look out for the Barnsley Chop for sure. We are looking at a lot of different connecting flights to get where we need to go. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
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.
You bring up some great and valid points. It is great to appreciate the good and understand the areas that could use improvements. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
The BBC does 'dive deep' regarding the USA news. Every evening from 21.00hrs it does a mix with US guest contributors invited to add depth to everyday news items from both countries. I think that this was a tactical response following our unfortunate exit from Europe. Obviously it still covers major events in Europe. Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
If you are flying coach, then other than Europe, US fares are probably the 2nd cheapest in the U.K. so, I was surprised that you were quoted £2,000 for a return. I flew from London Gatwick to Tampa for £365 in November 2023.
If you’re flying to a tourist destination flights are often cheaper. That’s not much use if a person wants to travel somewhere that isn’t a tourist destination though.
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.
For cheap flights you should research escorted parcel companies. You carry parcels or letters to recipients. All customs cleared! There are always lots of legal ways to save or make money 😊
Things generally are not weird .Only different from what you are used to .Im Australia a toilet in bathroom is considered very unhygeinic.Common in U.S.Also usung clothes.dryers in warm.weather.I Australia that would be considered laziness and electricity is very expensive. Also running tap.when cleanjng teeth. In Australia water is a precious commodity .
It is very interesting to see and understand the differences. We have appreciated things in different ways since being here. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
jess in the uk this year there has to be a general election the election always takes place 40 days after and the government askes for one and always takes place on a thursday
We have heard there will be an election here. That means both the US and UK will have one this year. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
First class would be a lot more. Cheap flights to the USA are available, but mostly to places tourists want to go, and usually only if you book weeks in advance.
I completely understand. I think it's a generational saying. I hear "Like" being said all the time now. Appreciate your time watching and commenting. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
And they do not have the flights leaving from Mildenhall anymore, unfortunately. Spacs-a is not available here anymore. Sadly, it was good when we had it. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
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.
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 feel more people would understand what is going on in every country. I feel that at times, we're so blind to what's going on in the world. Thank you for your time watching and leaving me a comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Technically it's numerous royal families really I suppose. That's kind of the point of it. History is a lot about wars at the end of the day! Please encourage your fellow Americans to be energy conscious. We don't always turn off the plugs if it doesn't have a standby drain.
Hello Jess, I know how much You Chris & the kids love Castles Churches Cathedrals history & architecture their is in the UK & I have been watching something I thought you & the kids would love to see on RUclips for 30-52sec it's called "The Secrets of Salisbury Cathedral The Tallest Spire in Britain. it's very interesting full of details & built in the 1200s
Thanks for letting me know you received my message & I hope you enjoy watching it sometime & I have just discovered the best way to view history on cathedrals castle's churches Abbey etc if you go on RUclips put HISTORY HIT then Select 1 of CATHEDRAL'S CHURCHES CASTLE'S ABBEY'S, "SAMPLE HISTORY HIT CATHEDRALS" I am sorry if I am disturbing you but I am hoping to make sure you & kids in particular do see the history in the UK while you are here with us 🇬🇧🇺🇸👍
Thanks for the suggestion. We will look into that. The more the resources the better. Please do not worry about disturbing us, we try to get back to comments as soon as we can, but sometimes it is not as quick as we would like it to be. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
@@DaydreamersBarn Hi Jess, I have been thinking about the situation when you mentioned what NEWS YOU don't get here in the UK about the USA well I thought have you tried any NEWS APPS on your Phone I do have CNN on my Phone & you can choose just USA NEWS OR WORLD NEWS.
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.
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.
I am not sure if being polite to people on the road means that more people can get on their way or it just seems like that because you are less stressed or both.
My experience of driving in the US is that they are much more laid back, even in NYC. Particularly versus the likes of British cities like say, Manchester, London or Birmingham.
I’m surprised the American bases don’t have someone there to help with jobs and banking etc. perhaps you could create a job for yourself helping others when you have everything sussed out for yourself.
That's an excellent idea. I expressed surprise to an earlier clip at the lack of help Airmen receive considering how many are deployed here & for how long it's been going on.
There is a little help on the base, but it's very few and far between. Sometimes, it is focused on certain people that they help. I have always said helping others is something that I absolutely enjoy. Thank you so much for watching and the wonderful recommendation. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Thats strange i am looking at flying to Hawiwi in may fot two weeks and its around £800 pound return, was that price for two, surely it would be cheaper to go to the mainland ?
Hi Jess, not a criticism but most if not all Europeans are up to date with world affairs, but sadly many of your fellow countrymen/women their knowledge of world affairs end at your shoreline, when you eventually return home you will be very knowledgeable on Europe, I’m sure you know but the U.K is part of Europe.
Completely understand and I think it is sad. I absolutely love learning and experiencing new things. Appreciate your time watching and commenting. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
iT'S A GOOD JOB THE US ADOPTED THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, IT JUST AVOIDED HAVING GERMAN AS IT'S FIRST LANGUAGE. BETWEEN US, WE HAVE SHARED THE GREATEST LANGUAGE WITH THE WORLD., OUR GIFT TO THEM--FREE.
Vote if you can . People died to get you the vote. People are fighting and dying today to still get a free and fair vote. You owe it to all our ancestors. If you don't want any of the candidates put ' none of the above'. Not voting is a cop out ..
Better still, write on the ballot paper " I do not consent ". They govern us by consent so take their power away from them. If we all did that, they would have to change the corrupt system as they would be unable to form a Government.
Scottish, Welsh and Irish people are allowed to live in England too, we don’t all stay in our country of birth. Also many of us identify as British rather than English, Scottish, Welsh, or Northern Irish, especially those of us who have ancestry from all four countries of the UK.
Hi, i like watching Americans enjoying my wonderful Country... But? What i find irritating is, UK is a used term for four Countries. You are living in England!! Snd your not speaking British, your spreaking English. Which happens to be where the language was invented. So please use one of the four Countries names, if your in one of them. Keep up the good shows. 🏴🏴🏴NR =🇬🇧
@@DaydreamersBarn thanks for replying Jess. Sorry if I came across as rude? American's generally use the term British or UK. This is a modern day title since Scotland came under full control of England in 1707, to become Great Britain. Insidious English, Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish people do not see themselves as British. It's a term more used for Forieners living here.
No worries, you were sharing your thoughts, and I appreciate it. I completely understand that we appreciate each country for what they are and the beauty we get to enjoy. Also, what we get to learn from each of them, I hope you have the most amazing day, friend! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
What ????.Sorry I’m stupid.I loved my Queen not that liberal tosser Charles.On the part of Great Britain.Wales.Northern Ireland.Scotland England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸
My apologies that RUclips has an advertisement in the beginning. I'm not sure why my video gets a dislike because I didn't put one there.. I know youtube offers a monthly plan where you don't see any ads. 😥 🤍 Jess x
Kind of weird comment. Virtually all YT channels have adverts unless you pay monthly to have them removed (with the temptation of a free first month). I simply mute each advert when it appears. Robert, uk.
@@gmdhargreaves Does this happen with every RUclips video? is it worth checking your RUclips settings? Just trying to help, you may have already done this.
@@Jill-mh2wn na after refreshing 2/3 times you can get 5 seconds of ads, I’m fine with 5-11 seconds but not 25-35 after many refreshers, uploaders of videos can choose to have adverts or not. This lady on this video has chosen the longer adverts for monetary gain
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.
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.
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.
@@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. Far, far better than a greedy and ambitious politician (and we all know what we think of them!).
@@robertknight2556 Thanks Rob….appreciated. Guessing you haven’t spoken to too many Americans to spot the difference. The Australians are the same, who have their own version of English, but claim it is English. As an Englishman, you know it isn’t. But there you go. As mentioned, it was purely a tongue in cheek comment, but we live in a time where people like to take offense when there is none intended. Have a good day.
@@DaydreamersBarn Thanks Jess. I will watch your North Wales travels later with a cup of tea. As you know, being ex RAF, we have lived all around the country and lived in North Wales during one posting. Slightly more hilly than here, around the Lakenheath and Mildenhall area. Good to see you are travelling further afield. You guys MUST try the Lake District too…a beautiful area and recommended. 👍🏻
loved all your comments Jess, i'm glad you and your family are enjoying your time here .
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

How would anyone mix up the flag of st george? It is everywhere, on the Barcelona soccer badge, the symbol of Genoa, and the flag of Geogia, are you assuming that Americans are too stupid to know what it is?
Hi , my philosophy on life is to not worry or stress about things you can't change , make the most of what you have and spend as much time with family as you can beacause you never know what's round the corner.

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.
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.
I am English and just always love hearing Americans, my sister lived in Needingworth, near Lakenheath, I love meeting Americans, you guys are always so funny and friendly, I hope someday to visit your beautiful nation and visit my relatives (my cousins are Italian/English living in New York). I love how you relate your experiences here, please stay with us
Thank you for your kindness and support! I hope you get to experience the USA as well. It's a very large place and you have to take a car to get places, unfortunately. I hope you have the most amazing week. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Another great video Jess. I have seen some sheep that might do well in the UP - Swiss Valais sheep - you will love them.
I love your insights into British life and into our Royal Family.
Fabulous, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm now searching those sheep! Thank you, friend. I definitely appreciate your kindness and insight. Have a great day! Cheers 🤍 Jess x

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.
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

With airfares it pays to keep a regular watch for deals. You can fly to America relatively cheaply but those tickets get bought fast. Also pays to be flexible, google flights will tell you the cheapest dates
Just checked there are £451 return fares to Atlanta in April/May
I wonder if there may be a problem booking a holiday a long time in advance in the military.
Thank you for the insight! I definitely appreciate your time sharing with me. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Morning Jess nice to here your enjoying the uk, i love learning about other places too holiday,s in spain and france, ❤
Most definitely, I love it here. My heart is so happy learning and exploring this beautiful country. Love to be open-minded and interested in what's going on in the world. Thank you for your support. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
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.
Thank you for that lovely insight. Definitely appreciate your time my friend. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Always love your videos. I'm interested to know. Are you picking up British words? Example Boot /Trunk, Lift / Elevator, Car park / parking lot?
Keep making the videos🙂
We are glad you enjoyed it. We have picked up quite a few. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Getting employment might be made difficult because employers may assume you won't be around for long. Especially if extensive training is involved, it might just put them off. Nothing personal, I'm sure.
I agree with you,
friend and I have come to be okay with that. I understand that it is a lot for a company to take on someone. Definitely if they don't know if the individual will be around for the long run. Appreciate your insight. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Book in advance. The wife and I are flying business class to Toronto in August. For two return flights it was £4200. If I booked to go next week the return fares are over £20,000
It's crazy but now learning where to look for cheap flights thanks to you all. Have a lovely day, friend! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
i've only recently learned that Americans don't eat lamb - it blew my mind. its the best meat for a Sunday roast, and it's not even close. You have to have mint sauce too.
We are right there with you with lamb in the US. However, not with you with the mint sauce. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Hiya, What a wonderful family you all are, I really hope when you get back to the US you succeed in evey endeavor but if by chance you find yourselves missing our lands then please come back and make this your home too❤.
Thank you so much! We appreciate your time coming along with us for all of our adventures, here and there! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x
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
🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇪🇺
I was wondering.... RUclips does that at times. So glad you're back enjoying our videos. Have missed your comments and support. We're definitely loving our time here. Hope you are well! Thank you for finding us again! We appreciate your love and support. Have a lovely week! 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.
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.
Plus take advantage of the cheap flights to continental Europe from the UK as you can get return tickets to Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Prague etc for as little as £30 return ❤xxx
💯 thank you for your time sharing your recommendation! We appreciate your kindness, friend. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
@DaydreamersBarn ...don't the USAF do free seats back on some of their transport planes ....they used to I remember back in the 90's or is that just for service men and women but not for their partners? xx
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.
We are looking at a few different ways to make it happen. Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
You could fly from Birmingham to JFK on April 17th, return May 15th for £416 (hand luggage only included). Maybe the cost of an internal US flight to where you want to go might be more than this.
Thank you so much.I have now started finding that there are certain days to fly on. Also, to plan the trip in advance. Unfortunately, this trip would have been last minute due to family. Appreciate your insight and time. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
I always enjoy your videos. You never know you and Chris might decide to stay here? Hope so!

@@DaydreamersBarn have you read notes from a small island by bill Bryson (American) he lives here now, you might find it interesting

I appreciate your kindness! I hope you have a wonderful day. Thank you for your time watching and commenting. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
At least, it’s not ‘like’ every other word!
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.
I definitely LOVE lamb! I have always used an electric kettle, even in the US. I love a proper cuppa and pour over coffee. I appreciate your time watching. Have a great day! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
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.
Thank you for the insight. I really appreciate it. I will definitely look into that. Hope you have a wonderful day, friend! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
We've made it expensive to fly back to the US because we don't want you to leave! 😉😂
Oh, that's sweet! Now to look for a house to buy... 😏 haha

Don't you have USAAF passenger jets flying to the States that you can use. When I was in Cyprus, the RAF had a daily service to UK that mil personnel & dependents used. Just be aware that the seats may be backward facing, like mil planes here are! LOL1

I have been to Akrotiri to see the dentist at the BMH , away back in time before it was closed, while i was in the R Signals at Episkopi 1959.

Any Destination from the UK to the American East Coast is available from about £600 return..most recent about 6 months ago.
Yeah, so I would have to rent a car and 600 there, and 600 back is still over 1000 pounds. Just for a flight, no luggage, rental car, or anything. I'm definitely keeping an eye out, and trying to plan a little more in advance will be a bit cheaper, I hope. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

Hello I randomly clicked on your video. And I heard you mentioning that flights to the US are expensive which is true however, I have found cheap flights with Aer Lingus, Air Transat and Icelandair can be like £400 return which hopefully is helpful information to you.

Do you eat beef steaks rare? In the UK chefs usually prefer to cook lamb until it’s pink ie without blood.❤

If you ever find yourself in Yorkshire - seek out a 'Barnsley (lamb) Chop' . I agree with the other comments re flights to US - where are you looking?
We will look out for the Barnsley Chop for sure. We are looking at a lot of different connecting flights to get where we need to go. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
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.
You bring up some great and valid points. It is great to appreciate the good and understand the areas that could use improvements. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
The BBC does 'dive deep' regarding the USA news. Every evening from 21.00hrs it does a mix with US guest contributors invited to add depth to everyday news items from both countries. I think that this was a tactical response following our unfortunate exit from Europe. Obviously it still covers major events in Europe. Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
Sounds like an interesting watch. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Don’t know where you’ve been looking for flights, you can fly to New York for about £200
Timing and location are the biggest issues we run into. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
If you are flying coach, then other than Europe, US fares are probably the 2nd cheapest in the U.K. so, I was surprised that you were quoted £2,000 for a return.
I flew from London Gatwick to Tampa for £365 in November 2023.
A lot of it is time and location we are looking for. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
If you’re flying to a tourist destination flights are often cheaper. That’s not much use if a person wants to travel somewhere that isn’t a tourist destination though.
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.
That is another issue that has been raised. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
I got a return ticket to Los Angeles once for £69! From Heathrow, with AA. I'm sure they screwed up! Nice vid btw!
I got a return ticket to Atlanta TWICE for a handful of Daily Mail tokens.

For cheap flights you should research escorted parcel companies. You carry parcels or letters to recipients. All customs cleared! There are always lots of legal ways to save or make money 😊
Never thought of doing something like that. Sounds interesting. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Things generally are not weird .Only different from what you are used to .Im Australia a toilet in bathroom is considered very unhygeinic.Common in U.S.Also usung clothes.dryers in warm.weather.I Australia that would be considered laziness and electricity is very expensive.

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.
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 feel more people would understand what is going on in every country. I feel that at times, we're so blind to what's going on in the world. Thank you for your time watching and leaving me a comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Technically it's numerous royal families really I suppose. That's kind of the point of it. History is a lot about wars at the end of the day! Please encourage your fellow Americans to be energy conscious. We don't always turn off the plugs if it doesn't have a standby drain.

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.
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.

I am not sure if being polite to people on the road means that more people can get on their way or it just seems like that because you are less stressed or both.

I’m surprised the American bases don’t have someone there to help with jobs and banking etc. perhaps you could create a job for yourself helping others when you have everything sussed out for yourself.
That's an excellent idea. I expressed surprise to an earlier clip at the lack of help Airmen receive considering how many are deployed here & for how long it's been going on.
There is a little help on the base, but it's very few and far between. Sometimes, it is focused on certain people that they help. I have always said helping others is something that I absolutely enjoy. Thank you so much for watching and the wonderful recommendation. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

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.
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.
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.
@@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. Far, far better than a greedy and ambitious politician (and we all know what we think of them!).
We like understanding more about it by being here. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
Cheeky comment. Have you learned that Americans don’t actually speak English yet, although you do seem quite fluent Jess. 🫡
It's not cheeky, it's rude and a bit numpty.
@@robertknight2556 Thanks Rob….appreciated. Guessing you haven’t spoken to too many Americans to spot the difference. The Australians are the same, who have their own version of English, but claim it is English. As an Englishman, you know it isn’t. But there you go. As mentioned, it was purely a tongue in cheek comment, but we live in a time where people like to take offense when there is none intended. Have a good day.
No offense taken. There is a difference we see on a daily basis. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Chris and Jess.
@@DaydreamersBarn Thanks Jess. I will watch your North Wales travels later with a cup of tea. As you know, being ex RAF, we have lived all around the country and lived in North Wales during one posting. Slightly more hilly than here, around the Lakenheath and Mildenhall area. Good to see you are travelling further afield. You guys MUST try the Lake District too…a beautiful area and recommended. 👍🏻
