    Gardening is an age old British pastime; many people are proud of their gardens and just open them up for people to wander in and see. Sometimes there is a small charge for charity, but more often it’s free.

    • @DaydreamersBarn

      Oh, most definitely, and it makes my heart so happy. I love the pride that everyone takes in their garden here. We appreciate your time sharing with us. 🤍 Jess x

    Beautiful countryside and skyscape, lovely destination, impeccable driving along our quirky roads, all in the company of my favourite cousins. A perfect Sunday. If you see open cottage gardens, take time to pop in. The Brits love their gardens and are rightly proud of them. It is often free, but sometimes there is a small charge, when the money goes to charity.

      "The Brits love their gardens"
      True - but I fear that does NOT generally apply to those who are merely 'British' by operation of law, rather than by ancestry. Sad, I know - but true, nonetheless.

    Open Garden signs are indeed an invitation, to all, to come and have a free gander at home-owners' gardening efforts. It's something in England, certainly, that has been on-going for decades and is not entirely unknown in France.

    Hi Jess, Chris, Colette and Shane, hope you are all well my friends. Jess you hit the nail on the head when you said how relaxing you find your drives and I couldn't agree more. Sadly the weather this July has been very unsettled which probably indicates that September will be a scorcher. 🌞. I think this video must contain the most roundabouts that you have experienced for one of your trips. 😄. Hitchin is a lovely part of Hertfordshire and thank you so much for a lovely trip.
    Have a great Tuesday and an even better rest of the week. xx. ❤

    I love your driving videos. I've no idea why but I actually teared up when you arrived at the lavender farm, maybe because it was so gorgeous. Like someone else said, the humps are called sleeping policemen which I think is hilarious. Also belated congrats on 5k subs 😃😃😃

    What you need to do before you head home to the states, take a walk out into the countryside on a hot sunny day,where it’s quiet and you can hear the skylarks singing high above the fields, then go home and play Ralph Vaughan Williams “The Lark Ascending”, it will always remind you of the English countryside

    • @DaydreamersBarn
      @DaydreamersBarn  7 дней назад +2

    There's a lavendar farm in Kent near Ramsgate I've been to. As a child visiting my grandma, there was always a faint smell of lavender in her house. She used to put sprigs of the stuff from her garden in all the clothes cupboards and drawers. Kept the moths out without being as penetrating a smell as the naphthaline in mothballs.

    Another lovely video. If you’re still here in the U.K. next year make a visit to the Confetti Flower Fields in Pershore, Worcestershire. I say next year as they only open to the public one week a year when the flowers are in bloom and for this year the last day is today (7/7/24).
    They are fields full of delphiniums and also wild flowers which are made into confetti which they sell online as well. They are stunning.

    Another great video. England and the UK as a whole does have some lovely countryside though not so enjoyable experiencing it at the moment due to the lousy weather. We have been spoilt with some lovely summers in recent years but this one so far reminds of some cool, wet, depressing summers from my childhood in the 1980's.

    There is something very uplifting to see fields of lavender, poppies or linseed. If you get the chance you should try and visit the Chelsea Physic Garden in London which was originally created to teach student apothecaries (forerunners of pharmacists/doctors) the medicinal value of plants and flowers. These days it is a bit more than that but it is a gorgeous garden now (and still involved in botany and the uses of plants). It might give you some more inspiration for your flower farm when you go home. 👍

    I was very entertained by being reacquainted with the road through Ickleford and on through Hitchin. During my "gap year" in 1951, before university, I worked as what used to be called a ward orderly, i.e., a nursing assistant, in the old N. Herts hospital in Hitchin. We did a 48 hour week usually in split shifts. This meant that I cycled from my family home and back, just a mile or two further north from Hitchin over the county boundary into Bedfordshire. The split shift meant that I mostly did four trips a day. When on night duty it was a 12 hour shift, 8pm to 8am.
    Hitchin has a really splendid parish church right in the middle of the town just above the market.
    It also had a nice outdoor swimming pool - I don't know if this is still in operation.

    That farm is only 6 miles from, close enough to give you a virtual hug. I do get annoyed that the speed humps are sometimes too extreme. Try going over some at anywhere near the speed limit and it will take your sump out. can you imagine having cross-roads at every one of those roundabouts? It would take you forever. There are some lovely old villages around Hitchin. It is great that you got to see some. Stay safe and keep them coming.

    • @DaydreamersBarn
      @DaydreamersBarn  7 дней назад +1

    03:12 When Speed Humps were first introduced here about 40 years ago they were nicknamed "Sleeping Policemen". 🤣 The ones that you went over there are the longer ones called "Speed Tables". 🙂
    04:25 Open Gardens days, where private individuals have opened up their gardens for others to see on a particular day or days, are a great way of seeing what other folk have done with their gardens and perhaps pick up some tips and hints. They are not usually competitions as such and you can often buy cuttings of the plants growing there. Admission to all the gardens is usually by purchasing a guide including a map to all of them and can usually be bought from the individual participants themselves at their homes. The price for my local Open Gardens is £5.00. In general all the proceeds go to charity. Given your love of plants and flowers I would strongly recommend that you visit one.👍

    • @DaydreamersBarn

You should get a tattoo that represents your time here, maybe the flower of England which is a Red Rose 🌹 what do you think?

    Norfolk Lavendar.

    Oh the memories of family days out... On many occasions I've been driving my family around in the car... And the weather doesn't know what it want's to do... One minute it's quite cool... And the next minute you're sweating like a pig... But if some of them were perhaps a little chilly... And others were getting rather warm... We somehow had to find a happy medium... So we decided to buy a couple of fleece blankets and keep them in the car... So that if one of them had the window down to keep cool... Anyone who became too cold would simply grab a fleece blanket to keep themselves warm... But that time has now passed... As i only have myself to please while driving these days... 😂 I must admit that i'm never nervous while driving either Chris... But i must admit that before we set off on a day out... I am a little apprehensive... As you'll never know if you're going to get caught up in a motorway traffic jam... Or whether you'll be sent on a really long detour to get to your destination... Or whether you'll have a breakdown on route... But the driving itself doesn't bother me... As i'm better protected in my car... Than when I've been previously riding on my motorbike... As i always had to assume that everyone else on the road was trying to kill me... You then learn to become a very defensive minded rider... And to avoid taking any unnecessary risks... But you can never anticipate the actions of everyone else on the road... So i'm much more relaxed while i'm driving rather than riding... Many thanks for taking us all with you on your countryside drive Chris & Jess... All the very best guys... 👍 Cheers. 🍺

    Wonderful bit of multi-roundabout navigation Chris. Goes to show they save time. I must be the world's worst Lavender grower. Each year I buy a new one as the previous years is now dead. I water them, treat them with utmost affection, plant them in new spots yet within months it is dead. Not been to that farm.

    • @rebeccat94
      @rebeccat94 12 дней назад +1

      Treating them with affection and watering them is where you are going wrong. Grow them in a very well drained, gritty poor soil, in full sun and they grow fine. No watering required after the first few weeks of planting.

    • @DaydreamersBarn
      @DaydreamersBarn  7 дней назад +2

      Sweet friend, I agree with Rebeccat!! Neglect them and treat them as they are succulent. They love full sun and sandy soil and hate wet roots! I think a lot of people want to love them and they love them too much and they hate that. Don't give up. Please give lavender another try! 🤍 Jess x

    How does driving in the UK compare to the USA. Watching your videos back, what chances you get a ticket or get pulled over by cops in the US v UK.

    • @DaydreamersBarn
      @DaydreamersBarn  7 дней назад +1

      So driving in the UK is different from the US. In the way that there are more speed cameras in the UK than in the US. It's definitely not a normal occurrence to be pulled over in the US by a Police officer unless you are breaking the law. So we followed the law, so it didn't happen. We have been ticketed more here, and we are never driving over the speed limit. We think that the cameras are incorrectly calibrated or driving in a poorly marked bustlane.
      We absolutely love driving here. It has been a wonderful experience and has allowed us to appreciate the slow pace. 🤍 Jess x
