Go easy on the Colman's mustard. It's not the mustard you're used to at all!! lol It will blow your nostrils! Lovely on a ham sandwich though...very thinly spread for me! So many generous people out there! I'm a Brit living in Michigan and it pleases my heart to see so many of my fellow country people being so generous and entertaining. (and it makes me somewhat homesick :( )
I concur, definitely go easy on the English Mustard! Lol. There is an American lady on TikTok and FB I follow that makes food. She was sent a jar of Colman's English Mustard and was told in her comments by her British friends to go easy with it. When it came time to try it a few days later, she commented that she'd been warned by her friend from the UK, but she "LOVES" yellow mustard, and she'll be fine! She took a slice of white US bread, which is smaller and sweeter than ours in the UK. She did not butter it as we would normally do, she just put two large teaspoons of EM on one slice of bread, then two small slices of turkey on it, and went for it! To say that EVERY person that's ever eaten it, or knows about it, were already invested from the moment she poohoo'd it, and put the Mustard on the bread. By the time she went for a bite, and with her having already warned, we were alternatively cringing and gleefully laughing at what we knew was about to happen! And Fate didn't disappoint us at all! To say that the mustard did its job, is an understatement! You'll be pleased to know that her nasal sinuses and tear ducts are in FULL working order, and have been effectively washed through! And her ability to contort her facial muscles into a variety of different expressions! But, I'll give her her due, despite this rooky mistake, she did go back again and finish the half sandwich. 😂 Afterwards, bless her, she commented that she should have listened to her friends and that she mistakenly thought EM was like your yellow burger mustard out there. Which she now clearly knows it's clearly not! And yet, despite this, she said it has a nice flavour, and her husband was going to LOVE this! My brother and I could only wonder if that was what she was like with the jarred version. What would she be like with the Colman's English Mustard powder? Especially the stuff our uncle would make up for us at Xmas! He said that all he used was the powder and malt vinegar, but it would blow even our sinuses out! 😂 And my brothers would happily be able to eat CEM from the jar! We've all tried to make it like he did, but to no avail. Sadly, I guess it's something he took with him. So be careful with it! 😂
Thanks for the tip! Hope you're able to make it back across the pond for at least a visit in the near future--I know it's hard being away from your homeland.
@timberwolf5211 Using vinegar will actually kill a lot of the heat. Simply use just enough water(or beer also works👍) to form a paste and then let it mature in the fridge for at least a couple of hours. That ought to clear out your sinuses and make the backs of your eyeballs sweat!!
@@reactingtomyroots If you taste horseradish on it's own, you'll probably wonder why anyone would put it it on their food. But as a compliment to roast beef, it's great. Just don't use too much! It won't be a taste you'll be used to. You'll need to acquire it.
Terry Pratchett ( RIP ) is in my opinion one of the greatest Authors of our time. I have every book and have had the privilege to meet him several times. Truckers , Diggers and Wings ( the book you have been gifted in its three separate books ) is a great start for kids to be introduced to Pratchett's works.
Id add that anyone who loves good writing , good humour will find Pratchett's books to be worthy of your bookshelves. I defy anyone to just read one and not read all of the others, its just not possible.
I’m glad someone sent some Pratchett Sir Terry Pratchett was one of the greatest literary treasures who gave us some amazing tales. I’ll be mogadored if more doesn’t turn up. I’m in my 40s and still relish his Discworld stories. His outlook and characters are fantastic Def a writer who left us too early
I was gonna send Steve some Whole Earth crunchy peanut It really is the best. I’m weird though, I enjoy it on bread with a strong cheddar Although possibly I’ve invested a new combo flavour
@@AzuraeLyonheart I forgot about the games. Discworld and Discworld Noir. I think I remember Eric Idol’s voice in the first game. Had them for the PlayStation bone
Or alternatively, zap the Ginger Cake in the microwave and have it hot with vanilla ice cream. I prefer it like this in the summertime, hot custard is better when it's colder weather.
Flakes are top-tier chocolate. Crumb alert: Do not eat in your car whilst wearing a white shirt, just prior to going into a meeting! Ask me how I know.
The English mustard is extremely hot. Great used sparingly in a ham or cheese sandwich, especially a toastie. It goes well in a cheese sauce(about 1/4-1/2 a teaspoon) in a pint of béchamel based cheese sauce with strong cheddar.
I’m glad you like the stone walls all over uk, fun little fact for you but they date back 4000years and are classed as one of the few remaining ancient structures still used for their original purpose:) they’re also known as Cornish hedges:)
Hi there, been following your channel for over a year. Leicester pronounced Lester, so Steve was right is my home city. The home of the original Walkers crisps and still produced extensively here. Leicester is another very old city, was originally populated by the Romans.
Welcome to the fantastic world of Terry Pratchett. The Discworld series is the best only 41 Books, starting with The Colour of Magic followed by The Light Fantastic. They are all a Tongue in Cheek look at the Sword & Sorcery genre. I've been a TP fan for many years. The younger readers series is a great introduction to TP for all ages. Enjoy. 🧙🏼♂️
The New Zealand Manuka honey is amazing stuff. Use it on your toast or wherever you'd use honey, but then it's also a good, sterile dressing for minor burns and cuts (apply and keep covered, change the dressing every day). It aids healing in a number of ways. It's a wonder food.
Steve go easy with the Colemans Mustard, it is stronger than American Mustard and will make your nose run if you put to much on. Horseradish is also something to use sparingly.
Terry is a fantasy writer, who was an amazing wordsmith with a plethora of characters including the likes of Cohen the Barbarian (OAP) who needs din-chewers (false teeth) and often puts his back out. Nanny Ogg (one of a trio of witches) who has a cat which likes to play with & terrify bulls, she also has issues spelling Banana (she keeps forgetting where to stop the ana).
@@tyrantworm7392 I've just looked at the figures from last year, and as the charity says at least 95p in every pound raised goes directly to the charities, I reckon just over 1.5 million was not sent directly to the charities. Certainly not 6 million. I mean they do have admin costs.
I also love the Truckers, Diggers and Wings books. I bought the all separately in paperback with the wonderful artwork of Josh Kirby. Sir Terry also wrote many books for young children (of all ages) and books for teens. I started with Wyrd Sisters from the Discworld series around the age of 12, I was hooked.
@@inkedthoughts7020 I started wuth the Colour of Magic, then eagerly waited for each subsequent bookm as they came out. But I don't think you can beat the first lines of Wyrd Sisters: ' As the cauldron bubbled an eldritch voice shrieked: "When shall we three meet again?" There was a pause. Finally another voice said, in far more ordinary tones: "Well, I can do next Tuesday." '
You definitely need to visit the Isle of Wight My mothers family we’re born and bred there and my heart belongs there. It truly is a beautiful little island🇬🇧😊
I think its great that the community gather together to warn Steve about English Mustard & Horseraddish. And yet at the same time I'm sort of disappointed that I missed out on the possible footage (insert evil grin here)
Glad that you and Lindsey liked the books there is another package i have sent which will hopefully be in the next opening packages video and loved the livestream video
The Isle of Wight is roughly rhomboid shaped, standing on a corner. North of the island is the port of Southampton. Geographically the island splits the tides in Southampton, instead of two tides a day the island gives Southampton four tides making the port a historic port. These days apart from commercial traffic it’s the cruise hub of the UK. Traditionally the home port of the great transatlantic liners. The Solent is one of the straits between the island and the mainland, the other strait is the Spithead. The Isle of Wight is roughly 150 square miles in area. The town of Newport is the capital. Plenty of beaches such as Sandown, Shanklin, Yarmouth. The south west corner, facing the English Channel and the Atlantic is the Needles, a formation of rocks with a protective lighthouse. You can get a chairlift down to the beach. The town of Cowes is probably the centre for yachting in the UK, prestigious yachting club territory. Ferries from many ports on the mainland, car and passenger plus of course the hovercraft. There used to be a rail network but these days has about 15 miles of line powered mainly by ex-London tube equipment. From Ryde Pier to Sandown. I used to get the ferry from Portsmouth/Southsea to Ryde.
13:34 love all of Sir Terry Pratchett’s books one of my favourite authors, but sadly he’s no longer with us, but he did lots of books for young readers and up my Daughter is about the same age at Sophia so plan on reading them to her soon too, when I got to about 12yo I loved reading his Discworld novels I’ve got them all.
Oh the Bromeliad Trilogy! I read it to my son ,when he was about 9 and laughed so much I fell off the bed. I turned into a life long fan of all his discworld stuff. You could try them on audio books while doing something else, housework, walking , lawn mowing etc. BTW it is pronounced "Lyver -bird" , not "liver". Also horseradish is often coloured and used in cheap sushi , instead of wasabi, it is HOT!
Beware the English mustard. Our friends from Washington DC put it on a hot dog like French's and it blew their heads off. The Horseradish sauce is slightly hot, great on a beef sandwich or steak, a little kick to it.
Liver Bird is pronounce Lie-Ver Bird. it is the emblem of Liverpool. there are statues of the birds on top of the Liver building there. it is also on the crest of the Liverpool football club.
The two Liver birds are meant to be a male and female pair, with local legend stating that the female bird looks out at sea, making sure the seamen return to the city safely, while the male guards the city to watch over the seamen's families. Legend says that if they flew away the city would cease to exsist.
@@jessieb7290 Both the Whole Earth and the KP peanut butters contain sea salt... and the Whole Earth one also contains palm oil (not good for the environment due to land being cleared to grow the palms). I prefer Aldi's Foodie Market peanut butter. It contains 100% peanuts - no added sugar, salt or any other unnecessary ingredients 😁
@@heraklesnothercules. I’m aware of palm oil. I actually hate the taste of the whole earth products especially compared to other brands. You can find peanut butter that doesn’t contain palm oil and I’m sure other people are aware of. Thanks.
Chairlift on the Isle of Wight is at Alum Bay where the coloured sands are and near The Needles. The island is a wonderful place and you can get to the vast majority of it by bus. I first went there with a school residential when I was 10, staying away from my family for the first time, so I’ve always seen the island as a second home. There are ways to get the hovercraft cheaper by booking as part of a train ticket which includes the bus shuttle in Portsmouth too
This trilogy I read years ago it’s brilliant honestly, I hope it will catch little ones imagination. He wrote a complete world of books, which are very funny which is called the Disk World. There are witches, incompetent police, a street food seller called “cut me own throat Dibla”, baby dragons and one big one plus a character called Death with a scythe and a flying white horse called “Binky” . The Books of Sir Terry Pratchett OBE were almost all comic fantasy novel …….. . . . .I’m rambling aren’t I ? I’m sorry!!! You get the idea!
I am from Swansea , S. Wales in the Uk. I have been to the Isle of Wight a few time and I recommend you go visit there. It is a lovely place, especially Shanklin and Godshill.. you will love it there. It isn’t particularly a large place. You can drive around the whole island in about an hour and a half. 😊 Love watching your videos.❤
I use to live near Papworth Everard, it's a lovely area to the west of Cambridge. Pretty villages and lovely people. I love Cambridge and much prefer it compared to Oxford. Cambridge University has 31 Colleges. Oxford University has 43 colleges. It used to be that students weren't allowed to own cars, that's why there are so many bikes! In Cambridge students had to live within 3 miles of the church St. Mary's the Great. I'm sure these rules still apply today. Just south of Cambridge is Grantchester, very pretty with The Orchard tea room. One of my favourite places.
Liverpool has two "Birds" on top of their city hall building (one facing sea-ward to watch over folk that have gone out to sea; the other facing land-ward to watch over those awaiting those who have gone out to sea). On a pronunciation guide these birds are the Liver birds. It is pronounced "Lie-ver".
You guys have got great followers and are very lucky. Some of that stuff like the little jars of instant coffee are REALLY expensive! I want to do what you do😂😂😂 Love your channel. X
Terry ‘s books are amazing , used to have a book shop with my dad and weird fun fact but his works are the most stolen books in uk have been for over 20 years
As a Brit I really enjoy watching these videos and have been subscribed for a good while now. I've got to say, you two make such a cute couple. You always seem so happy, and make each other laugh. You have a really lovely family, and it's a pleasure that you're so invested in learning about our funny little island!
If you have a piece of beef on your fork, you'd probably only need enough horseradish on it to cover your finger nail. It's that strong. But once you've got used to it, you won't want roast beef without it....
When Sophia is a little older you can move on to the Tiffany Aching series by Sir Terry. The first in the series is The Wee Free Men, you may need to practise your Scottish accent 😁
Carisbrooke Castle in in the centre of the Isle of Wight, I grew up in the Village of Carisbrooke so the moat of the castle was a regular place we went for walks when I was a child. I also did work experience at the castle for a year when I was 17, from the keep you can see all over island an over to Portsmouth where I now live 😊
Trooping the colour is the monarchs annual birthday celebrations to celebrate with the public. Every monarch has two birthdays because of this. At the event we see the RAF (Royal Air Force), fly overhead with the colours of the British flag.
You can start singing ”the red car and the blue car had a race” and everyone near will finish it. Its an advert that will never be forgotten. Dry stone walling is like an art form and is used because you dont need any cement and some walls are decades years old. Have you tried Henderson's Relish yet?
I used to love reading to my kids and did it every night, the same as you. They loved all of the voices I did too whilst reading. I took them to the library regularly to choose books, I think it’s important to get them into reading at a young age x
You surprised yourself by liking tea after trying it, so maybe you’ll enjoy coffee too. Coffee beats tea any day ☕️👍🏻 I’m from the UK but I can’t stand tea x
Get rid of the moustache!!!! Looks really old fashioned 🤣love watching these videos. Love the differences between our two great countries that also join us
Isle of Wight is 23miles by 13 miles and just off the coast of Portsmouth and Gosport . The Solent the bony of water between them . Gosport is where a lot of the military left from for D-day . The ferry for the island goes from Portsmouth , both were large military city and town and the harbour they share is where the Mary rose was lifted from . The island is 1.2 miles off the coast of Gosport and Queen Victorias private train would come down into Gosport and along the pier that used to stand on Stokes bay beach and her carriage put on her private ferry to take her to Osborne House which was her preferred home .
There are 2 Liver (L- eye - ver) Birds, one looking out to sea, the other looking back into the city to check when the pubs are open, check out the (dazzle ship) Mesey ferries, keep up your explorations, peace to you all
Yeah Steve. I’m like you in that I like well flavoured food but I can’t take a lot of heat from spice. But I love horseradish sauce, so definitely try it. You only need a little scraping of it but it gives a delicious extra flavour, particularly to beef. It’s also nice to stir into mashed potatoes 😊
The only time I've ever seen my wife drunk was at an all day visit to the Cavern club in Liverpool. It was so funny. I'm from Glasgow, but adore Liverpool and the people. We are actually very similar folk. My favourite Liverpool band are the Icicle Works.
I was on a bus last weekend going into the city centre and I'm not sure how the conversation started (amongst total strangers all Scousers with Scottish parents!) but it ended up with us all singing "Flower of Scotland". And everyone knew all the words. I think it was the day of the opening Euros match.
Hi Steve and Lindsay The Solent is the body of water you cross to get to the Isle of Wight . If you do get to go make sure you visit Osbourne House which was the beautiful property that belonged to Queen Victoria and Her husband Price Albert and where he died, he loved the place and it is open to the public so is steeped in history and a really educational day out. I am Oxford born and bred, Oxford is best !!! But both cities are gorgeous. Love to you all Linda
Lovely stuff! You might need to extend your house to accommodate all of this ❤.I can’t eat roast beef without horseradish but it has to be the creamy one as it’s a little milder . TikTok kicked off between Uk and USA recently as we are constantly told we like bland food which is hilarious to me as we eat strong mustard and horseradish the list goes on. Also our favourite kind of food is Indian which is most definitely not bland . It’s funny what people like to argue about 😂😂😂. Oh that’s a coincidence I bought a pack of those mintoes for my car earlier I haven’t had them for years
the clock is Elizabeth Tower, the bell inside is called Big Ben. there is another famous bell made by the same company that you guys will know ... the Liberty Bell.
Costco is very spread out in the UK. Despite living in a city its over an hours drive to my nearest costco so I've been once. I wish we had more of them
The Isle of Wight is a pretty big island. It's well worth a visit. A good day trip or even a long weekend away. The Solent is the stretch of water between the island and main land. Interestingly, the ONLY commercial hovercraft still operating in the WORLD goes from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight.
Fiddlers Crisps are a family firm that are not too far from me. They grow the potatoes and the crisps are picked and made on site. As a teenager (all be it some decades ago) I used to pick potatoes for another farmer a few miles away from this farm. They also do a cheese flavour, salt and vinegar and plain crisps too. Enjoy!

That is Children in needs bear called Pudsey bear. It is a charity fundraiser held every year in the U.K. on the BBC. to raise money for children.

The south west corner, facing the English Channel and the Atlantic is the Needles, a formation of rocks with a protective lighthouse. You can get a chairlift down to the beach. The town of Cowes is probably the centre for yachting in the UK, prestigious yachting club territory. Ferries from many ports on the mainland, car and passenger plus of course the hovercraft. There used to be a rail network but these days has about 15 miles of line powered mainly by ex-London tube equipment. From Ryde Pier to Sandown. I used to get the ferry from Portsmouth/Southsea to Ryde.
I worked on the isle of wight ferries for almost 4 years .
13:34 love all of Sir Terry Pratchett’s books one of my favourite authors, but sadly he’s no longer with us, but he did lots of books for young readers and up my Daughter is about the same age at Sophia so plan on reading them to her soon too, when I got to about 12yo I loved reading his Discworld novels I’ve got them all.
Oh the Bromeliad Trilogy! I read it to my son ,when he was about 9 and laughed so much I fell off the bed. I turned into a life long fan of all his discworld stuff. You could try them on audio books while doing something else, housework, walking , lawn mowing etc.
BTW it is pronounced "Lyver -bird" , not "liver". Also horseradish is often coloured and used in cheap sushi , instead of wasabi, it is HOT!
Beware the English mustard. Our friends from Washington DC put it on a hot dog like French's and it blew their heads off. The Horseradish sauce is slightly hot, great on a beef sandwich or steak, a little kick to it.
Yeah American mustard is sweet and English mustard is more like the spice itself, so it could improve a cold if your sick probably. It’s so strong.
As a Born and Bred Liverpudlian ( Scouser ) it's Great to see a Liver Bird across The Pond. Amazing content as always Guys 🙏👍
Thank you Stephen.
@@reactingtomyroots 🙏
Jamaican Ginger pudding is best served in an ocean of hot vanilla custard. Microwave the cake for 2 mins.
They don't.
Probably be cold with a spoonful of cold custard next to it😂
You can make custard in a pan, either from scratch or a sachet.
Birds Custard

The London tower of Westminster is called the Elizabeth tower, Big Ben is the name of the bell.
I love your enjoyment and reactions to products that you can’t get in your area. Peace and enjoy
Thank you, we have a blast doing the package openings.
Liver Bird is pronounce Lie-Ver Bird. it is the emblem of Liverpool. there are statues of the birds on top of the Liver building there. it is also on the crest of the Liverpool football club.
The two Liver birds are meant to be a male and female pair, with local legend stating that the female bird looks out at sea, making sure the seamen return to the city safely, while the male guards the city to watch over the seamen's families.
Legend says that if they flew away the city would cease to exsist.
And you can do a Liverbird Safari in town too. It's probably the most anarchic family walking tour of the city going!
I was going to write that but i said I'd look in the comments first to see if anyone else had done it.
The Whole Earth Peanut Butter is my favourite - I've always got a jar in my cupboard.
If you can try the KP peanut butter, it’s one of the best I’ve ever had.
@@jessieb7290 Both the Whole Earth and the KP peanut butters contain sea salt... and the Whole Earth one also contains palm oil (not good for the environment due to land being cleared to grow the palms). I prefer Aldi's Foodie Market peanut butter. It contains 100% peanuts - no added sugar, salt or any other unnecessary ingredients 😁
@@heraklesnothercules. I’m aware of palm oil. I actually hate the taste of the whole earth products especially compared to other brands. You can find peanut butter that doesn’t contain palm oil and I’m sure other people are aware of. Thanks.
@@jessieb7290 As I stated in my earlier response the peanut butter I buy contains only peanuts, nothing else. 🙂
The Lidls do tubs for a fiver!
Chairlift on the Isle of Wight is at Alum Bay where the coloured sands are and near The Needles. The island is a wonderful place and you can get to the vast majority of it by bus. I first went there with a school residential when I was 10, staying away from my family for the first time, so I’ve always seen the island as a second home. There are ways to get the hovercraft cheaper by booking as part of a train ticket which includes the bus shuttle in Portsmouth too
This trilogy I read years ago it’s brilliant honestly, I hope it will catch little ones imagination. He wrote a complete world of books, which are very funny which is called the Disk World. There are witches, incompetent police, a street food seller called “cut me own throat Dibla”, baby dragons and one big one plus a character called Death with a scythe and a flying white horse called “Binky” . The Books of Sir Terry Pratchett OBE were almost all comic fantasy novel …….. . . . .I’m rambling aren’t I ? I’m sorry!!! You get the idea!
The Solent is the area of water that you travel across from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight
That Mustard will surprise you pal, use it sparingly at first! 😂
I am from Swansea , S. Wales in the Uk. I have been to the Isle of Wight a few time and I recommend you go visit there. It is a lovely place, especially Shanklin and Godshill.. you will love it there. It isn’t particularly a large place. You can drive around the whole island in about an hour and a half. 😊 Love watching your videos.❤
I use to live near Papworth Everard, it's a lovely area to the west of Cambridge.
Pretty villages and lovely people.
I love Cambridge and much prefer it compared to Oxford.
Cambridge University has 31 Colleges.
Oxford University has 43 colleges.
It used to be that students weren't allowed to own cars, that's why there are so many bikes! In Cambridge students had to live within 3 miles of the church St. Mary's the Great.
I'm sure these rules still apply today.
Just south of Cambridge is Grantchester, very pretty with The Orchard tea room. One of my favourite places.
As someone who lives close to nearby St Ives (the bigger one not the little Cornish one), I agree with everything Bridget has said.
Liverpool has two "Birds" on top of their city hall building (one facing sea-ward to watch over folk that have gone out to sea; the other facing land-ward to watch over those awaiting those who have gone out to sea). On a pronunciation guide these birds are the Liver birds. It is pronounced "Lie-ver".
You guys have got great followers and are very lucky. Some of that stuff like the little jars of instant coffee are REALLY expensive! I want to do what you do😂😂😂
Love your channel. X
Terry ‘s books are amazing , used to have a book shop with my dad and weird fun fact but his works are the most stolen books in uk have been for over 20 years
Flakes are great to crumble over vanilla ice ceam
I'd watch 2 hours of inboxing love to watch so interesting
😀 maybe for Christmas? That would be great!
Beef and horseradish sandwiches are a delight. Don’t go overboard though 😂
As a Brit I really enjoy watching these videos and have been subscribed for a good while now. I've got to say, you two make such a cute couple. You always seem so happy, and make each other laugh. You have a really lovely family, and it's a pleasure that you're so invested in learning about our funny little island!
When you live on a Cold, Wet and Windy Island, Hot Chocolate is an essential after Tea of course.
Usually eaten as a compliment to roast beef, go easy on the horseradish until you become used to it, as it's quite strong.
It smells strong. My mum gets it every Christmas, I avoid it.
@@jessieb7290 Just try a little, it's really nice once you get used to it. I don't think it's as strong as English Mustard 👍👍
also great on cheese sarnies
If you have a piece of beef on your fork, you'd probably only need enough horseradish on it to cover your finger nail. It's that strong. But once you've got used to it, you won't want roast beef without it....
@@FuriKitten Nope. Pickle is best on cheese sandwiches......
Isle of Wight is tiny and its truly beautiful place. Ive been a few times. Always loved it there.
When you visit the Isle of Wright you must visit Osborne House which was Queen Victoria's favourite home. It's amazing.
When Sophia is a little older you can move on to the Tiffany Aching series by Sir Terry. The first in the series is The Wee Free Men, you may need to practise your Scottish accent 😁
Wee Free Men is my favourite. It's hilarious.
Carisbrooke Castle in in the centre of the Isle of Wight, I grew up in the Village of Carisbrooke so the moat of the castle was a regular place we went for walks when I was a child. I also did work experience at the castle for a year when I was 17, from the keep you can see all over island an over to Portsmouth where I now live 😊
In London England this weekend 15th June, was the king's guards on horseback, the royal families where there
It was the Trooping of the Colour, well worth watching every year. Love it.
Trooping the colour is the monarchs annual birthday celebrations to celebrate with the public. Every monarch has two birthdays because of this. At the event we see the RAF (Royal Air Force), fly overhead with the colours of the British flag.
Just makes me wonder how much it costs to put on ..... I'm a pensioner from Uk.Best wishes from the Midlands
You can start singing ”the red car and the blue car had a race” and everyone near will finish it. Its an advert that will never be forgotten. Dry stone walling is like an art form and is used because you dont need any cement and some walls are decades years old. Have you tried Henderson's Relish yet?
Hi Steve and Lindsey, thanks for bringing us happiness yet again.
Dates on packets are "sell by dates" so it's for the retailer to ensure that don't keep stuff on shelves too long.
Terry pratchetts the wee free men would be a good edition to sophia's library
25:13 That box has done some air miles! It is a Piping Rock box, I order my supplements and vitamins from them, they are based in New York.
I used to love reading to my kids and did it every night, the same as you. They loved all of the voices I did too whilst reading. I took them to the library regularly to choose books, I think it’s important to get them into reading at a young age x
You surprised yourself by liking tea after trying it, so maybe you’ll enjoy coffee too. Coffee beats tea any day ☕️👍🏻 I’m from the UK but I can’t stand tea x
Leyeverbird. It’s the name given to ladies from Liverpool x
We also put our chocolate in the fridge or for longer, the freezer and then thaw out. Uk Mars bars are epic like this!
Love seeing these P.O Box videos!
🎉 right! I’ve seen so many people open stuff, but these guys are great! ❤
❤️
Just the tip of the mustard on a knife, less is more,
Its pronounced Lie..ver...bird
Whats got four legs, walks peculier
Talks with all the choicest words
What's got four arms, loves to grab you
Answer is two Liver Birds
Yes. But it's Liverpool... And Lie..ver..birds. I can understand their mistakes... Many people native to the UK make the same mistake.
Exactly what I was going to put down. Used to work in the Liver Building which has the Liver Bird on top xx
I came here to check if anyone else had done this before I did
@@duncankennedy4080 do they? Nah....
The Tuc biscuits are awesome with a bit of sharp cheese on them 🤣🤣
Get rid of the moustache!!!! Looks really old fashioned 🤣love watching these videos. Love the differences between our two great countries that also join us
Isle of Wight is 23miles by 13 miles and just off the coast of Portsmouth and Gosport . The Solent the bony of water between them . Gosport is where a lot of the military left from for D-day . The ferry for the island goes from Portsmouth , both were large military city and town and the harbour they share is where the Mary rose was lifted from . The island is 1.2 miles off the coast of Gosport and Queen Victorias private train would come down into Gosport and along the pier that used to stand on Stokes bay beach and her carriage put on her private ferry to take her to Osborne House which was her preferred home .
God I love this channel you guys are just so lovely and genuine it’s heart warming, keep up the amazing work guys
There are 2 Liver (L- eye - ver) Birds, one looking out to sea, the other looking back into the city to check when the pubs are open, check out the (dazzle ship) Mesey ferries, keep up your explorations, peace to you all
Yeah Steve. I’m like you in that I like well flavoured food but I can’t take a lot of heat from spice. But I love horseradish sauce, so definitely try it. You only need a little scraping of it but it gives a delicious extra flavour, particularly to beef. It’s also nice to stir into mashed potatoes 😊
The only time I've ever seen my wife drunk was at an all day visit to the Cavern club in Liverpool. It was so funny. I'm from Glasgow, but adore Liverpool and the people. We are actually very similar folk. My favourite Liverpool band are the Icicle Works.
haha, sounds like a great memory! :)
I was on a bus last weekend going into the city centre and I'm not sure how the conversation started (amongst total strangers all Scousers with Scottish parents!) but it ended up with us all singing "Flower of Scotland". And everyone knew all the words. I think it was the day of the opening Euros match.
Just came across your channel. I'm from Scotland I think your videos are great.your such a beautiful couple. ❤
great to see you back hope you had a great holiday
Thanks Ian. It was amazing to see family, but we're glad to be back. We missed you Guys. :)
I had Jamaica sticky ginger cake for breakfast this morning 😁😁😋 yummy. ❤️🇬🇧
Hi Steve and Lindsay The Solent is the body of water you cross to get to the Isle of Wight . If you do get to go make sure you visit Osbourne House which was the beautiful property that belonged to Queen Victoria and Her husband Price Albert and where he died, he loved the place and it is open to the public so is steeped in history and a really educational day out.
I am Oxford born and bred, Oxford is best !!! But both cities are gorgeous. Love to you all Linda
Lovely stuff! You might need to extend your house to accommodate all of this ❤.I can’t eat roast beef without horseradish but it has to be the creamy one as it’s a little milder . TikTok kicked off between Uk and USA recently as we are constantly told we like bland food which is hilarious to me as we eat strong mustard and horseradish the list goes on. Also our favourite kind of food is Indian which is most definitely not bland . It’s funny what people like to argue about 😂😂😂. Oh that’s a coincidence I bought a pack of those mintoes for my car earlier I haven’t had them for years
O love terry Pratchett's books. The wee free men is one of my favourites
The Solent is the name of the stretch of water that separates Isle of Wight from the mainland
You look fabulous Steve.Also a hat is wise even with hair
the clock is Elizabeth Tower, the bell inside is called Big Ben. there is another famous bell made by the same company that you guys will know ... the Liberty Bell.
And both are cracked. That's what gives Ben his distinctive flat BONG.
Costco is very spread out in the UK. Despite living in a city its over an hours drive to my nearest costco so I've been once. I wish we had more of them
Yeah you also have to have a certain job to get discount there.
Hi ALL, that's a graet unboxing vlog ,with some great gifts . Take care and all the best. 😊😊😊👍👍💖
The Isle of Wight is a pretty big island. It's well worth a visit. A good day trip or even a long weekend away. The Solent is the stretch of water between the island and main land. Interestingly, the ONLY commercial hovercraft still operating in the WORLD goes from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight.
Steve you look so different hatless😂 i love your reactions to our goodies that yoou receive, enjoy❤🇬🇧🇬🇧
Fiddlers Crisps are a family firm that are not too far from me. They grow the potatoes and the crisps are picked and made on site. As a teenager (all be it some decades ago) I used to pick potatoes for another farmer a few miles away from this farm. They also do a cheese flavour, salt and vinegar and plain crisps too. Enjoy!
Horseradish sauce goes with Beef or steak. Flakes are good with vanilla ice cream!
My mum has it with roast dinners or with leftovers in a sandwich.
ive been to isle of white the town of shaklin is a beautyful area with lovley views of the sea.
Awesome
Horseradish sauce is great in a tuna mayo sandwich. Just a teaspoon, but it's a game changer.
They use it a lot in Scandinavia. My Norwegian stepmother mixed it with cream to serve with salmon.
