    Loved this video! I live in Cape Town, roughly 15 mins drive from your childhood home in Mostert street 🙂 so cool to see how everything looked back then! We really want to move to New Zealand as well. Can't handle the crime and political rubbish anymore 😔 Trying to fall asleep at night with constant noises and anxiety 😖

    Love this series! Esp as I started following you when you were settling into different homes in England-and have loved following you since! It's really interesting to get your perspective on your homes around the world. x

    That was so beautiful. I have a similar but different life story to yours. I have moved 16 times (didn't count my short rentals) I moved from the UK to South Australia then to Tasmania and back to South Australia. I get the whole overseas and interstate nightmares. My father decided to move to Cape Town when I decided Australia was a better option in 1983. I love it here as much as you seem to love there. One day I will visit your beautiful green country and I can't wait to visit snow again one day.

    I loved this video. I got goosebumps with the haunted house story and I really enjoyed seeing all the old photographs of you and Grant when you were younger. Thanks for sharing.

    Why do you use England ,no UK?

    • @AThousandWords
      @AThousandWords  6 лет назад

      Because the country is England. UK would be correct too, but could mean Scotland, Wales, England, or N Ireland. England is just more specific.

    2:45 - OMG you were such an adorable little girl! Look at you!
    4:38 - Ahhh the 1970's carpets! The house I live in now, when we moved in, it hadn't been redecorated since the 1970's and OMG the carpet was eyewatering. Brown with big yellow, green, and orange "starburst" pattern all over it. (*gag*)

    I loved this!! It's so nostalgic looking back over your homes together isn't it? My husband and
    i have been together since I was 20, we got married when I was 28 and I loved making each and every place we lived in a home (we moved house a lot too between Ireland and Australia). This is also a lovely video for your boys to watch and see the journey you've been on together :-)

    • @AThousandWords
