I’m an English lady living with my Sri Lankan partner in Sri Lanka. Yes your videos have inspired me. Thanks to your videos I managed to rear a baby Lena .. I followed your video step by step and he grew into a fine little Lena. We have also built a chicken coop and have our own chickens. Keep up the good work your both doing ❤
Thank you Lucie for answering my question. I feel the same way and I love Sri Lanka so much, with all its good and bad sides. We'll always be foreigners to them, but in the village where I live, I'm surrounded by so much love that it doesn't matter. Foreigners are treated much worse in France.
Hi Lucie. Loved this video. You are an amazing lady and very brave to go touring other countries by yourself. You have met a very handsome man in Lahiru, who is so hard working and supportive in everything you do. You started off with the language barrier but are mastering that both of you. Bought a home, got married, a job helping animals, learnt to drive the tuktuk and venture off on your own driving down those roads. The restoration on your home hasn't been easy, even seeing the tools you manage with. Your a wonderful couple, and Thank you for sharing with us.🙋🙋❤️❤️🎉🏡🙏🐕🐕
Thanks for sharing so much of your personal life with us all. I guess I'll be meeting you guys when we make it to Animal SOS in July sometime. :) How you inspire me? Your dedication and devotion to animals really connects with me on a personal level. Animal welfare is a super super super big passion of mine. Seeing you so 'hands on' at the shelter burns a desire in me to do more. So I'm coming to SL to get to work!!! : ) Thank you for keeping the 'candle burning' for all those fur babies. Your stamina and commitment to a cause that really resonates with me is something special. So to sum it up its your beautiful 'animal loving' soul that inspires me. xxx
I’m so happy to see how happy Lahiru is and how wonderfully he is improving in his language skills! You both are an inspiration to so many of us! ❤keep up the great work guyz! Sending tons of love
I’ve been living in South India, Kerala, now for 10 years (I’m originally from Finland) and since it’s been so long, I feel equally as a foreigner when I do visit Finland 😄 it’s odd, like a feeling of slightly being misplaced even if I grew up there. It’s been very interesting to see and feel a sense of home grow so strong here in India, this is where my daughter was born and where we have evolved as a family, grown roots and build a life. Kerala for me is my souls home now :) its wonderful to see your journey here on YT, lots of love from India! Any plans to visit Kerala? 😊🤍✨🦋
Misplaced is a great word to describe it! I know what you mean, I also felt like that when I returned to England for 2 weeks.. Yes, we actually have plans to come to India in November, so let's see! 🙂
The answer for your last question: 🔴Most of the time we use red color as our floor color because in the past we did not have any other floor colors but black and red. so people used to use red as their floor color.. along with so many years now it has become a tradition to apply red color as the floor color. even though now we have few other colors to choose like gray and green, people still stucked with red color. that's the reason why we all have red floors in our homes.
You probably have no idea how you two bring me joy into my life. Absolutely love the positivity that you spread and I wish you both all the luck in the world ❤
Nice to meet you. I came to support you after watching the video of Heechulism. Thank you so much for taking care of this unfortunate life. Always be happy!!!
Neat answers to so many questions! Your patience is inspiring. To me, what inspires me the most is the simplicity in your lives. I relate to it in many ways, but up cycling as a project based thing, is yet to come. Long years ago, I too had red floors at home, and we polished the floors to a shiny brilliance. I think red flooring is either an Asian or European concept that SriLankans inherited from colonialism. I remember some plantation bungalows and British built club houses upcountry, also have red floors. Most of the Tuk Tuk drivers go downhill on neutral gear even in my area, and they say it’s easier on petrol. How safe it is, I have no idea. We are so sorry you continue to receive stares from locals. It’s a typical, inquisitive characteristic in a majority of Sri Lankans. It’s even more popular in remote areas, and you get to face it more because you don’t live in the city, where a foreigner is a common sight. It’s lovely that you live in the peaceful countryside. Some of our norms are so gross, it’s not worth mentioning. Hopefully, you will become very accustomed to weird behaviour patterns of our people. Good luck with your renovations Lucie and Lahiru!
It is evident that you two dedicate a world of a time on those adorable pets....n constructing n renovating yr nest❤❤...Lucy it is indeed a treat to watch your perseverance to uplift yr life n get yrself adjusted to Sri Lankan tradition...adorable couple...good luck to both..
I watched the sri lanka travel programme done by Alexander Armstrong in Channel 5. I saw you were talking with him when he visited Animal SOS. You guys doing a great job ❤❤
You can get grey floor paint for sure. Red is just a fancy colour for the polished floors. Also comes in brown. People apply the polish and buff it with an electric polisher.
Your kindness, loving and accepting LAHIRU, not giving up, renovating house & land, MAINTAINING yourself, learning everything you need for life , respecting culture, being sporty , energy, seeing beauty in everything, vegan ,loving parents, having friends to enjoy etc.etc.inspires me .
What do you mean by " Accepting Lahiru" ? This is our mindset. We tend to think being a foreigner from a developed country is a privileged thing & if someone marries our girl/boy, they are so lucky. Accepting is not something a single party does. Both parties have to accept each other.
@@shanisilva6389 Then, it's totally fine. I thought that because I saw negative comments of our people against Lahiru a lot. If U'r not belong to that company it's better.
Yoo it seems the quality of the video editing is going up. Those hard hours are definitely paying off! I really like how the outro was made (sand truck scene into the waterfall)
Red floors in Sri Lanka is due to colonial era. Most of the bungalow houses built during British used red flooring. Just like the red carpets they use it in England for grandness.It’s never been changed since.. Example: red carpets for VIPs in Oscar, and other award ceremonies resembles this tradition.
You have better control over the vehicle when it is in a lower gear going downhill with the clutch out. Gears help slow down along with brakes so squeeze clutch just before you stall engine. Hope this helps.
For the tuk-tuk, you should ride it in gear with a little break ( without holding the clutch). Getting down in neutral gear is not safe. Choose a gear in the second or third position. ♥♥♥ Love you Lucie and Lahiru.
30:45 😂😅 This question had me. Literally I asked my husband the same thing too… and the blue walls! Red floors and blue walls are the in thing in our city anyway! 😅 Thanks so much for featuring and answering our questions again Lucie ❤. Was interesting to listen about your Vegan journeys. Our home is in the west of Sri Lanka in Negombo, and one time as we were going into town we were riding on the Tuk-Tuk and all I could here from behind was a street dog 🐕 let out a massive screech because it had been hit by another Tuk-Tuk it really upset me that no one bothered to stop and just continued driving as if nothing happened… 💔 as I absolutely love Dogs 🩷😢…. Would love to come a visit the sanctuary some time when we are over in Sri Lanka again, do you have the address details at all anywhere? Honestly I totally I agree with you about feeling unhappy in the UK 🇬🇧 Lucie… I would move to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 permanently in a heart beat, but hubby wants to stay in the UK 🥺😅…. I hope maybe later on our lives when our children are older maybe we will make the move, it is something we’ve talked about, let’s see! Sri Lanka is my second home, truly my happy place too, I never want to leave… ❤🇱🇰
Oh no, that's so sad to hear about the dog! Unfortunately it happens so frequent, we see it all the time, and theres over 500 disabled dogs at the sanctuary, who the majority have become disabled because of being hit on the road by a careless driver! Hope we can meet you and your family one day! Thanks again for sending us your questions ❤️
Thank you so much, Luicy and Lahiru, for the content. Honestly, you guys inspire me as well. My words may not be enough to express how it happens, but I believe it's your attitudes and perspectives on the world. It's different in a positive way. For example, you are very honest in your explanations. Another thing is your kindness towards animals. This kind-heartedness is so beautiful and it inspires me. It can be stressful to see all those poor dogs in need, but you guys manage to keep your energy high. That's another thing that inspires me. Regarding the question you asked about the types of flooring in Sri Lankan houses, most houses now use ceramic tiles. However, there are still some houses that have cement floors. These cement floors are mixed with red pigments to give them color. In the Sri Lankan market, you can find floor polish in various colors, but the most popular one is red. Additionally, wax is applied on top of the floor to give it shine. Cement flooring is one of the more affordable options you can find in Sri Lanka. As for driving a tuk-tuk on a slope, it's always good to use the first gear. If you constantly apply the brake pedal while going downhill, the brakes will bind and heat up. I believe you have already experienced this, as I saw a previous video where the brakes bound and heated up. This happens because if you push the brake pedal while the tuk-tuk is in motion. It's always better to go downhill in a low gear and apply the brake when necessary. Apart from bus drivers, tuk-tuk drivers can sometimes be scary on the road. Please be careful when you're driving. I hope this information helps. Keep up your energy! Cheers!
Thank you for watching our videos and for sending us your positive and insightful comment, it makes so much sense about the tuktuk, and seems everyone is saying the same.. i was not thinking straight, but the answer is obvious 😂 Much love ❤️
Hi Lucy & Lahiru - BOTH OF YOU ARE WONDERFUL, HAPPY TO HEAR LAHIRU'S ENGLISH IS IMPROVING - ALTHOUGH LOCAL PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU DIFFERENTLY ALL OF THEM LOVE YOU VERY MUCH -HAVE NO DOUGHT - (may be an odd one feel jealous of Lahiru!!!) YOU ARE A GREAT ASSET TO LANKA, YOUR SMILE, COMPASSION TOWARDS ALL BEINGS, HOW YOU TREAT LAHIRU You look very happy in Lanka. Thank you very much for contribution towards homeless /street dogs.
Thank you for answering my question,I will be definitely visiting you and doggies this year depending on my holiday time of course, looking forward to see you all ❤
When you are going down with tok tok keep the first gear and don't hold the clutch release the clutch and keep on the brake that's sefe. 🤝 I wanna see your home renovation videos soon. Keep doing this. We love both of you ❤
Greetings Lahiru and Lucie, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my admiration for the inspiring videos you create as a couple. As a Sri Lankan currently residing in Essex, England, I find your content to be both entertaining and motivational. It is my sincere hope that I may have the opportunity to meet with you both during my upcoming visit to Sri Lanka next year. Thank you for the positivity and joy you bring to the world through your videos. Answering your questions Answer No - 1 It's generally not recommended to stay on gear and hold the clutch down while going downhill in a tuk tuk or any other vehicle. This can cause excessive wear and tear on the clutch, and can also be unsafe. When going downhill, it's usually best to downshift to a lower gear and use engine braking to slow down the vehicle. This helps to avoid overheating the brakes, which can become less effective over time if they are used excessively. If you do need to use the brakes while going downhill, it's best to apply them intermittently rather than constantly, to avoid overheating and reduce the risk of brake fade. Answer Number - 2 The reason why many Sri Lankans choose to have red floors in their homes is rooted in cultural and religious traditions. In Sri Lankan culture, the color red is considered auspicious and is associated with good fortune, prosperity, and happiness. Additionally, in Buddhist and Hindu traditions, red is considered a symbol of purity and is often used in religious ceremonies. In the past, red floors were made using a mixture of terracotta clay and oil, which was a cost-effective and durable flooring option. This traditional flooring method has been passed down through generations and continues to be popular in Sri Lanka, especially in rural areas. Today, Sri Lankans often choose to use red oxide powder, which is a synthetic pigment that gives a similar red color to the floors. Besides the traditional cultural and religious significance, red floors are also popular because they are easy to clean and maintain, and they add warmth and character to the living space.
Great Q&A session. As for tuk tuk on down hill... never go on neutral gear cos it's very dangerous, ride down the hill on 2nd gear(don't hold the clutch). Don't be discouraged to speak on camera in the lingo your learning, let anyone laugh you ignore them and continue. As for meeting up, let's plan to meet at the animal SOS in Ahangama
I love your stance on religion, Lucie! I am exactly the same! I believe Mother Earth and her beings is our god. There should be many more like us! I would like to see you renovate your kitchen! Lahiru is just SO gorgeous! And you are a beautiful woman! You two will have beautiful children! I have a second cousin (as white as I am) who lives in Mt. Lavinia. I never met him, but I would sure love to visit! All my best to both of you and all of the lucky animals you care for!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
As for the tuk tuk driving downhill I prefer to go with second gear and letting go the clutch and for the fence you planned to build that li’l monkey fam you showed a while ago the will grow into a really big number let say 20 or 30 there is no any fence to stop them from destroying garden. I’m saying this because I live in Matara and I have experienced monkey raids
Lucy, staring happens even if you are not a foreigner. For example, Im a lankan has been living overseas for a long time, and when I go to lanka to see my family, they stare at me too. My son, who is born here, said the same thing.. why are they staring at me You just ignore and go on with your daily work. I think staring is a Lankan thing😁 Thank you for answering the questions. Finance is private, and it's not anyone's business Have a good day from Melb
why does a Sri Lankan house have a red floor? It is because red cement is an affordable price. If you go for the green or blue color it is costly. There are more suggestions for red cement here. They are titanium floor, tile, and terra cotta, which come to my mind.
I hope once your house work is completed you both will be lot happier, free time in hand, improve financial situation, time to add to you family (we are waiting for that day) - few kids playing in the yard, both of you will be wonderful parents. Good Luck LOVE
"are you religious or what religion do you follow?" you response to this was perfect. one cannot be religious or follow any religion if one is hurting any living being being it humans or animals. "one with nature" it's why i still watch you and lahiru here.
Hi lucie 😍When going downhill, you must go in a low gear. That's how I drive a tuk tuk. Don't put it in neutral. Sometimes the brakes don't work in tuk tuks.😍🇱🇰
Lucie you asked how you have inspired me. You are an English woman living in Sri Lanka, who’s embraced the island and its people for all what it is whole heartedly. In your videos you project loving kindness to the land and it’s beings. It’s also inspirational to see a woman breaking social norms, driving a Tuk or getting involved in house renovations ie breaking walls, carting bricks, mixing cement and the list goes on. You have brought purpose into Lahiru’s life and like versa. You have a ‘can-do’, attitude. Great ambassador for females with all what you do. After seeing your honeymoon video of Banyan Camp I visited the place with some friends and we had an amazing time, so thank you. Keep doing what you do you both are very inspirational for simply being you 😊 Sri Lankans stair as they are intrigued by you and they don’t know how to be discreet. Being a Sri Lankan women of I walk in a pair of shorts on the streets I will get stairs at as it’s not the norm for example.
Aww thank you for the comment! Wow, so lovely of you to say! And how amazing that you visited Banyan Camp also!! I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, it is an incredible place to be! Thank you so much for your positivity ❤️
Hi Sri Lankan family, good explaining. Were ever you go in the world 🌎 , people always stair at you, especially if you are not native.. brown black white yellow. Doesn’t matter .. It’s same story.. 2023 it’s getting better, people are good and friendly.. Most of Young generation they don’t care about the colour of your skin , religion beliefs and background.. for you nangi, you are very lucky because , Now you in Sri Lanka. Most of people are very friendly and kind… Most important thing in life, You have to be happy, were you call home and who you share your home with.. Both of you are very lucky to have each other. Living in one of the beautiful country’s in the world.. Again congratulations to my sister and brother.. Stay happy and healthy.. Two beautiful people who meant to be together..
You can keep the threewheeler in whichever gear you are in, then pull the clutch and then apply brake as needed. Then release the clutch in same gear or gears changed matching to the speed you gain or loose ✌️
Good questions, true and simple answers, a great team, a successful Q & A really again. I watched part 1 again, Lucie i especially love your last comment "it's following my life...". You are on your own way. I am so happy for you, for both of you, a bright couple 🌞 maybe pearl grey color for the floor... My best wishes for your next and future plans ❤️
Do you get paid working at the animal sanctuary. I have a mundane corporate job which is where my sole income is from but I also want to travel so much but I can't quit my job. I also love being close to nature and animals. How do you sustain financially? Please share with us some tips. Nevertheless, I love watching your videos. You are doing such wonderful work ❤ Love you both!
Always love your videos and its great inspiration to follow both of you and your projects. Remember to have fun and to relax - dont turn life into a rat race, like life is in Europe. I see a slight tendency in your late videos being busy and almost out of breath. I say it from a good heart - just remember to enjoy and rest too. Contents creators can be in a rush aswell and there is only 24 hours: sleep - work - rest = find balance. I will be in Sri Lanka in august for a year, so I will definitely visit your SOS and help out if I can. All the best. :)
Finding the balance.. yes, this is what we are in search for and working towards 🙏🏼 So amazing that you will be coming to SL for so long! I hope you can make it to the sanctuary when you're here 🥰
The people stare at you Lucie because you are so pretty, don't worry about that because it is very natural to state at people, it happens here in India also. Staring is a normal thing in many parts of the world.
18:40 who said that kind of things.We are with you.we know you lucie.we understand you,that's why we love you. You were sharing things with us for years now. Whatever you want to do,do it. we are with you and we know you two are soulmates. Don't thinks about that few comments.However Sri Lankans love you❤
You inspire me in so many ways..your postive attitude, your simplicity, your hard work, your ability to take the good and the bad in Good stride. All the best ..❤
Lucie where ever you want to plant just put a fence so pigs can't get in but far away from your fence plant some thing for them so they will divert their attention to that old age ( im not sure ppl do now ) Our famers leave some crops for wild animals we had kind ppl lived here before other cultures mixed in Buddhism widely practiced ( from the time Buddhism was introduced to Sri lanka by " Mihidu Thero " son of king Ashoka in India and the king who ruled here , was Dewanam piya tissa ) who converted to Buddhism and the ppl here ate food based on vegetation animals were treated nice no cruelty then but sadly its a different world now here so much exploitation since Portuguese invasion and others 😞 you must read about our history its very interesting well all the best to you guys good luck thanks for caring for all fur angels❤ 🤞
19minuets .Lucie & Lahiru great footage, natural and compassionate," their problem: "Who cares" not their business. Judgment is too exaggerated. Trivial, waste of time.. mo-9ve on people.😊😮ohh got it. LOVE❤
Dear Lucie, Don't worry about staring much.[I agree that it is not a good behavior] It runs through Asian genes.Not just at humans, even if a JCB is digging a hole people will gather and stare without any reason. Also 'Suddi' is not an insulting word like ' Ni**a'. Often people use this word to describe a white person.
You inspired me to do make some dog beds out of some old tyres and doors for the dogs in my sanctuary (which is quite small with only 23 dogs). Earlier I was thinking that I should buy them some beds, but watching your videos inspired me to repurpose things which were discarded as garbage. Also, please have a meet up in Colombo on a Sunday ❤
Oh nice, LOVE that! Would love to see some photos 🙂 Yep, I think Colombo will be our next meet up location! Let me know of any good places in Colombo for it 🥰
I would leave it in first or second gear and ride it down in lower gear. Don’t use break or clutch, just keep it in a low enough gear where you are not goi g to fast.
INDIA SRI LANKA PAKISTAN ( all south Asian countries ) ANY ARAB COUNTRIES SAME when its comes to STARING i experienced this bcz i have been there but this never happens in EUROPE OR USA I hate this its not only for you even for Sri lankans in Sri Lanka if you dress bit different than ppl here they Stare at us this is something you need to get use to i know its tertible 😀
So I’m here to comment how you inspired me 😅 I kind of seen your videos here and there before but what got me hooked is the video you did of the animals. Then I watched your video on the chicken rescue which actually inspired me to stop eating meat, that video really open my eyes cause I’m a big animal lover but I ate meat. I’m actually a vegetarian now wants to be vegan but giving up cheese is the hardest part 😅 Your kindness, being so humble and down to earth, promoting sustainable living without forcing anyone in to it, living a life true to your self, you are such a badass riding that Tuktuk also, I really wish I can meet you in real life, May be next year when I visit lanka. There is this honesty, truthfulness, sincerity in you, I don’t know exactly how to explain it but I can see that thru your videos and I haven’t ever met anyone other than my mother who had that kind of quality in them ❤
Oh wow, your comment is so touching, i have tears in my eyes reading it. You are so kind, thank you for your lovely words! I'm so happy to hear about your change, that is incredible! We would love to meet you too, so let us know when you come to SL 🥰
That's better that if you started building new house instead of renovation but its k.. Still its good and the place you kept water tank you can surround with fence and plant spinach carrot potatoes it will be good... Anyways God bless you and your husband... Working all day long and things are better every day 😘🥰🥰
This world is not just for us let them have some area and cover where you want if i was you i will plant some stuff they can eat 😊 they are innocent animals fighting to survive but we kill animals to eat and destroy tge planet in many different ways im for animals more than human rights i think you can learn lot from Lucie n Lahiru see the love they have for animals n nature
In my opinion i love to see foreign people around sri lanka.. So yes when a foreign drive a tuk is a new thing. Some may look at it in a bad way. But some may look waaw look that foreign drive a tuk. And some sri lankan when see a foreign they try to ask money that is really bad i don't expect it... i would love them to respect who are visiting our country.
Im so happy to hear in your back ground Meditation which call "Maithree " මෛත්රි භාවනාව. Meditating for all beings in this world is it playing in your house ? or temple near your home ?
Hey Lucie, I earnestly hope in some day making youtube videos become your primary job. Then you would be able to make those DIY videos, travel videos, etc. Hope you have energy to work hard until that become reality one day.
Hey Lucy, Red polished floors are like Red carpet in Sri Lanka 😊 But I thought there are not much of them now as people started to do floor tiles lately. Nice white, beige, cream color tiles I think it was something of higher social status back then 🙂
Great Q&A. Just wondering if you could cut your hours down at Animal SOS and have 2 days off a week instead of just 1. You really do need some downtime as you've so much going on and you don’t want to burn out. Also am surprised AG1 haven't approached you to do advertising for them. Every vegan TH-camr I follow seem to be working with them. I've been taking it for about 9 months and it is good, although it is expensive.
Thank you ❤️ it's a long story to be honest about the hours, and things will be changing for us both soon, so we are looking forward to the near future 🙂 I love AG1 too, we've been taking it for a while now and love how it makes me feel, so many people are taking it now, seems like it's the most marketed product 😛
I've heard this many times also with Sri Lankan citizens who have moved abroad, when they return they are then treated like foreigners despite being born in Sri Lanka! Crazy..
Unfortunately our people see the colour not the person.. Sad that you are still been called the foreigner.. Keep up the good work Lucy, you r a treasure for my country 💐💖
Don’t worry lucie. Now your srilankan women. Peoples are knowing both you day by day. Sri lanka is very beautiful country and living lot beautiful peoples here. I know you. Now you are srilanakn women..
L & L ❤"Lovely Ls❤❤". You guys are amazing. I cant do what you guys are doing at SOS. I will have get a stroke seeing all that sadness abd pain. Maybe I could. But im too chicken so ran away when i couldn't escape the never ending dumping and rescuing..i ran out of options. So one option to get out of the country with our rescued babies..long story short..so i admire your strength and courage. And people staring at you is because they love your white skin..and admiring you..so just enjoy and you know how the royal family has to escape the media all the time. Its Its something like that..you are treated like a that girl .either they admire you or hate you..and the red floor..its the red paint i think traditional or easier to find? Not sure. We had our old home with red cement. 😂😂😂.
I really enjoy your videos and listening and learning about how you lucie live and work in Sri Lanka. How do you do it? I don’t live in Sri Lanka but I have been their twice first time was for 7 months and 6 months and found very difficult.
Ive never understood the vegan thing, maybe someone can correct me, but in order to produce vegetables farmers kill rodents, fumigate bugs regularly, kill birds and any other kind of pests that would destroy their crops, so i mean....
Hey gys i respect you both. because you do many merit thing. lusi you don,t follow eny religion. i follow the buddha s teaching but i respect you mor than our monk.
I’m an English lady living with my Sri Lankan partner in Sri Lanka. Yes your videos have inspired me. Thanks to your videos I managed to rear a baby Lena .. I followed your video step by step and he grew into a fine little Lena. We have also built a chicken coop and have our own chickens. Keep up the good work your both doing ❤
Thank you Lucie for answering my question. I feel the same way and I love Sri Lanka so much, with all its good and bad sides. We'll always be foreigners to them, but in the village where I live, I'm surrounded by so much love that it doesn't matter. Foreigners are treated much worse in France.
It's the same for Sri Lankans living in the UK even the ones born there, people still look on them as foreigners.
Srilankan stare at foreigners, because they admire foreigners and think that foreigners are richer than them and that they have higher standards.
@@jmk1962 its true...... they are still foreigners.. only time matters..
I'm glad you felt this way.

Hi Lucie. Loved this video. You are an amazing lady and very brave to go touring other countries by yourself. You have met a very handsome man in Lahiru, who is so hard working and supportive in everything you do. You started off with the language barrier but are mastering that both of you. Bought a home, got married, a job helping animals, learnt to drive the tuktuk and venture off on your own driving down those roads. The restoration on your home hasn't been easy, even seeing the tools you manage with. Your a wonderful couple, and Thank you for sharing with us.🙋🙋❤️❤️🎉🏡🙏🐕🐕
Thank you so much ❤️
Thanks for sharing so much of your personal life with us all. I guess I'll be meeting you guys when we make it to Animal SOS in July sometime. :) How you inspire me? Your dedication and devotion to animals really connects with me on a personal level. Animal welfare is a super super super big passion of mine. Seeing you so 'hands on' at the shelter burns a desire in me to do more. So I'm coming to SL to get to work!!! : ) Thank you for keeping the 'candle burning' for all those fur babies. Your stamina and commitment to a cause that really resonates with me is something special. So to sum it up its your beautiful 'animal loving' soul that inspires me. xxx
THANK YOU ❤️ amazing!! we hope to see you soon 🥰
I’m so happy to see how happy Lahiru is and how wonderfully he is improving in his language skills! You both are an inspiration to so many of us! ❤keep up the great work guyz! Sending tons of love
I’ve been living in South India, Kerala, now for 10 years (I’m originally from Finland) and since it’s been so long, I feel equally as a foreigner when I do visit Finland 😄 it’s odd, like a feeling of slightly being misplaced even if I grew up there.
It’s been very interesting to see and feel a sense of home grow so strong here in India, this is where my daughter was born and where we have evolved as a family, grown roots and build a life. Kerala for me is my souls home now :)
its wonderful to see your journey here on YT, lots of love from India!
Any plans to visit Kerala? 😊🤍✨🦋
Plesase visit here also(Sri Lanka). There is not much difference between KErala and SL.
Misplaced is a great word to describe it! I know what you mean, I also felt like that when I returned to England for 2 weeks..
Yes, we actually have plans to come to India in November, so let's see! 🙂
The answer for your last question:
🔴Most of the time we use red color as our floor color because in the past we did not have any other floor colors but black and red. so people used to use red as their floor color.. along with so many years now it has become a tradition to apply red color as the floor color. even though now we have few other colors to choose like gray and green, people still stucked with red color. that's the reason why we all have red floors in our homes.
In 1970's only red cement was available for floor and it became traditional. There were no floor tiles.
You probably have no idea how you two bring me joy into my life. Absolutely love the positivity that you spread and I wish you both all the luck in the world ❤
You're too kind 🥰 Thank you for your lovely comment and for watching our videos 🙏🏼
Nice to meet you. I came to support you after watching the video of Heechulism. Thank you so much for taking care of this unfortunate life. Always be happy!!!

Long years ago, I too had red floors at home, and we polished the floors to a shiny brilliance.
I think red flooring is either an Asian or European concept that SriLankans inherited from colonialism.
I remember some plantation bungalows and British built club houses upcountry, also have red floors.
Most of the Tuk Tuk drivers go downhill on neutral gear even in my area, and they say it’s easier on petrol. How safe it is, I have no idea.
We are so sorry you continue to receive stares from locals. It’s a typical, inquisitive characteristic in a majority of Sri Lankans. It’s even more popular in remote areas, and you get to face it more because you don’t live in the city, where a foreigner is a common sight. It’s lovely that you live in the peaceful countryside. Some of our norms are so gross, it’s not worth mentioning. Hopefully, you will become very accustomed to weird behaviour patterns of our people.
Good luck with your renovations Lucie and Lahiru!
It is evident that you two dedicate a world of a time on those adorable pets....n constructing n renovating yr nest❤❤...Lucy it is indeed a treat to watch your perseverance to uplift yr life n get yrself adjusted to Sri Lankan tradition...adorable couple...good luck to both..
I watched the sri lanka travel programme done by Alexander Armstrong in Channel 5. I saw you were talking with him when he visited Animal SOS. You guys doing a great job ❤❤
I've not seen that program, what channel was it on?
Channel 5 i believe 🙂
You can get grey floor paint for sure. Red is just a fancy colour for the polished floors. Also comes in brown.
People apply the polish and buff it with an electric polisher.
Your kindness, loving and accepting LAHIRU, not giving up, renovating house & land, MAINTAINING yourself, learning everything you need for life , respecting culture, being sporty , energy, seeing beauty in everything, vegan ,loving parents, having friends to enjoy etc.etc.inspires me .
What do you mean by " Accepting Lahiru" ? This is our mindset. We tend to think being a foreigner from a developed country is a privileged thing & if someone marries our girl/boy, they are so lucky. Accepting is not something a single party does. Both parties have to accept each other.
@@ashanmaynard4085 very true
@Ashan Maynard you can write your ideas to Lucie, without dictating on my view .
@Veronika Strickler I didn't mean what he meant.
@@shanisilva6389 Then, it's totally fine. I thought that because I saw negative comments of our people against Lahiru a lot. If U'r not belong to that company it's better.
Yoo it seems the quality of the video editing is going up. Those hard hours are definitely paying off! I really like how the outro was made (sand truck scene into the waterfall)
Red floors in Sri Lanka is due to colonial era. Most of the bungalow houses built during British used red flooring. Just like the red carpets they use it in England for grandness.It’s never been changed since..
Example: red carpets for VIPs in Oscar, and other award ceremonies resembles this tradition.
Oooh interesting! Thank you 🙂
Oh wow... I never knew this before, thank you so much... and like you Lucie I also hate red floors... 😥
Lahiru has amazing improved his English communication ❤❤❤
You have better control over the vehicle when it is in a lower gear going downhill with the clutch out. Gears help slow down along with brakes so squeeze clutch just before you stall engine. Hope this helps.
For the tuk-tuk, you should ride it in gear with a little break ( without holding the clutch). Getting down in neutral gear is not safe. Choose a gear in the second or third position. ♥♥♥ Love you Lucie and Lahiru.
30:45 😂😅 This question had me.
Literally I asked my husband the same thing too… and the blue walls! Red floors and blue walls are the in thing in our city anyway! 😅 Thanks so much for featuring and answering our questions again Lucie ❤. Was interesting to listen about your Vegan journeys. Our home is in the west of Sri Lanka in Negombo, and one time as we were going into town we were riding on the Tuk-Tuk and all I could here from behind was a street dog 🐕 let out a massive screech because it had been hit by another Tuk-Tuk it really upset me that no one bothered to stop and just continued driving as if nothing happened… 💔 as I absolutely love Dogs 🩷😢…. Would love to come a visit the sanctuary some time when we are over in Sri Lanka again, do you have the address details at all anywhere? Honestly I totally I agree with you about feeling unhappy in the UK 🇬🇧 Lucie… I would move to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 permanently in a heart beat, but hubby wants to stay in the UK 🥺😅…. I hope maybe later on our lives when our children are older maybe we will make the move, it is something we’ve talked about, let’s see! Sri Lanka is my second home, truly my happy place too, I never want to leave… ❤🇱🇰
Oh no, that's so sad to hear about the dog! Unfortunately it happens so frequent, we see it all the time, and theres over 500 disabled dogs at the sanctuary, who the majority have become disabled because of being hit on the road by a careless driver!
Hope we can meet you and your family one day! Thanks again for sending us your questions ❤️
@@whereslucie ❤️😇☺️🤞🏽
i have no concern obout you guys...im not a comment much but i wanna say you guys are amazing....love you both and keep it up bless you..
Thank you so much, Luicy and Lahiru, for the content. Honestly, you guys inspire me as well. My words may not be enough to express how it happens, but I believe it's your attitudes and perspectives on the world. It's different in a positive way. For example, you are very honest in your explanations. Another thing is your kindness towards animals. This kind-heartedness is so beautiful and it inspires me. It can be stressful to see all those poor dogs in need, but you guys manage to keep your energy high. That's another thing that inspires me.
Regarding the question you asked about the types of flooring in Sri Lankan houses, most houses now use ceramic tiles. However, there are still some houses that have cement floors. These cement floors are mixed with red pigments to give them color. In the Sri Lankan market, you can find floor polish in various colors, but the most popular one is red. Additionally, wax is applied on top of the floor to give it shine. Cement flooring is one of the more affordable options you can find in Sri Lanka.
As for driving a tuk-tuk on a slope, it's always good to use the first gear. If you constantly apply the brake pedal while going downhill, the brakes will bind and heat up. I believe you have already experienced this, as I saw a previous video where the brakes bound and heated up. This happens because if you push the brake pedal while the tuk-tuk is in motion. It's always better to go downhill in a low gear and apply the brake when necessary.
Apart from bus drivers, tuk-tuk drivers can sometimes be scary on the road. Please be careful when you're driving. I hope this information helps. Keep up your energy! Cheers!
Thank you for watching our videos and for sending us your positive and insightful comment, it makes so much sense about the tuktuk, and seems everyone is saying the same.. i was not thinking straight, but the answer is obvious 😂 Much love ❤️
Hi Lucy & Lahiru - BOTH OF YOU ARE WONDERFUL, HAPPY TO HEAR LAHIRU'S ENGLISH IS IMPROVING - ALTHOUGH LOCAL PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU DIFFERENTLY ALL OF THEM LOVE YOU VERY MUCH -HAVE NO DOUGHT - (may be an odd one feel jealous of Lahiru!!!) YOU ARE A GREAT ASSET TO LANKA, YOUR SMILE, COMPASSION TOWARDS ALL BEINGS, HOW YOU TREAT LAHIRU You look very happy in Lanka. Thank you very much for contribution towards homeless /street dogs.
Thank.you ❤️
Thank you for answering my question,I will be definitely visiting you and doggies this year depending on my holiday time of course, looking forward to see you all ❤
Hope to see you soon 🥰
When you are going down with tok tok keep the first gear and don't hold the clutch release the clutch and keep on the brake that's sefe. 🤝 I wanna see your home renovation videos soon. Keep doing this. We love both of you ❤
Greetings Lahiru and Lucie, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my admiration for the inspiring videos you create as a couple. As a Sri Lankan currently residing in Essex, England, I find your content to be both entertaining and motivational. It is my sincere hope that I may have the opportunity to meet with you both during my upcoming visit to Sri Lanka next year. Thank you for the positivity and joy you bring to the world through your videos.
Answering your questions
Answer No - 1
It's generally not recommended to stay on gear and hold the clutch down while going downhill in a tuk tuk or any other vehicle. This can cause excessive wear and tear on the clutch, and can also be unsafe.
When going downhill, it's usually best to downshift to a lower gear and use engine braking to slow down the vehicle. This helps to avoid overheating the brakes, which can become less effective over time if they are used excessively.
If you do need to use the brakes while going downhill, it's best to apply them intermittently rather than constantly, to avoid overheating and reduce the risk of brake fade.
Answer Number - 2
The reason why many Sri Lankans choose to have red floors in their homes is rooted in cultural and religious traditions. In Sri Lankan culture, the color red is considered auspicious and is associated with good fortune, prosperity, and happiness. Additionally, in Buddhist and Hindu traditions, red is considered a symbol of purity and is often used in religious ceremonies.
In the past, red floors were made using a mixture of terracotta clay and oil, which was a cost-effective and durable flooring option. This traditional flooring method has been passed down through generations and continues to be popular in Sri Lanka, especially in rural areas.
Today, Sri Lankans often choose to use red oxide powder, which is a synthetic pigment that gives a similar red color to the floors. Besides the traditional cultural and religious significance, red floors are also popular because they are easy to clean and maintain, and they add warmth and character to the living space.
Oh amazing! So great to hear, i hope we can meet you when you come to SL, you must let us know 🥰 and thanks for answering the questions 😄
Great Q&A session. As for tuk tuk on down hill... never go on neutral gear cos it's very dangerous, ride down the hill on 2nd gear(don't hold the clutch). Don't be discouraged to speak on camera in the lingo your learning, let anyone laugh you ignore them and continue.
As for meeting up, let's plan to meet at the animal SOS in Ahangama
Thanks for your advice!! 🙂 We can do meet ups at Animal SOS anytime, we encourage people to come visit the dogs ❤️
I love your stance on religion, Lucie! I am exactly the same! I believe Mother Earth and her beings is our god. There should be many more like us!
I would like to see you renovate your kitchen!
Lahiru is just SO gorgeous! And you are a beautiful woman! You two will have beautiful children!
I have a second cousin (as white as I am) who lives in Mt. Lavinia. I never met him, but I would sure love to visit!
All my best to both of you and all of the lucky animals you care for!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kitchen renovations coming soon! Actually this Sunday, part one is coming out! 😄
Heyy the red oxidized flooring is good.. keeps the house cooler and it doesn't deteriorate with time..
Dont know why i am addicting to this channel everyday😍. Rather than any other channels i am so excited to see your vlogs
Thank you so much 😀❤️
As for the tuk tuk driving downhill I prefer to go with second gear and letting go the clutch and for the fence you planned to build that li’l monkey fam you showed a while ago the will grow into a really big number let say 20 or 30 there is no any fence to stop them from destroying garden. I’m saying this because I live in Matara and I have experienced monkey raids
Lucy, staring happens even if you are not a foreigner. For example, Im a lankan has been living overseas for a long time, and when I go to lanka to see my family, they stare at me too.
My son, who is born here, said the same thing.. why are they staring at me
You just ignore and go on with your daily work.
I think staring is a Lankan thing😁
Thank you for answering the questions.
Finance is private, and it's not anyone's business
Have a good day from Melb
Oh that's interesting to hear, and not the first time someone has said that. Of course, take it with a pinch of salt 😛
why does a Sri Lankan house have a red floor?
It is because red cement is an affordable price. If you go for the green or blue color it is costly. There are more suggestions for red cement here. They are titanium floor, tile, and terra cotta, which come to my mind.
I hope once your house work is completed you both will be lot happier, free time in hand, improve financial situation, time to add to you family (we are waiting for that day) - few kids playing in the yard, both of you will be wonderful parents. Good Luck LOVE
"are you religious or what religion do you follow?" you response to this was perfect. one cannot be religious or follow any religion if one is hurting any living being being it humans or animals. "one with nature" it's why i still watch you and lahiru here.
Hi lucie 😍When going downhill, you must go in a low gear. That's how I drive a tuk tuk. Don't put it in neutral. Sometimes the brakes don't work in tuk tuks.😍🇱🇰
Lucie you asked how you have inspired me. You are an English woman living in Sri Lanka, who’s embraced the island and its people for all what it is whole heartedly. In your videos you project loving kindness to the land and it’s beings. It’s also inspirational to see a woman breaking social norms, driving a Tuk or getting involved in house renovations ie breaking walls, carting bricks, mixing cement and the list goes on. You have brought purpose into Lahiru’s life and like versa. You have a ‘can-do’, attitude. Great ambassador for females with all what you do.
After seeing your honeymoon video of Banyan Camp I visited the place with some friends and we had an amazing time, so thank you.
Keep doing what you do you both are very inspirational for simply being you 😊
Sri Lankans stair as they are intrigued by you and they don’t know how to be discreet. Being a Sri Lankan women of I walk in a pair of shorts on the streets I will get stairs at as it’s not the norm for example.
Aww thank you for the comment! Wow, so lovely of you to say! And how amazing that you visited Banyan Camp also!! I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, it is an incredible place to be! Thank you so much for your positivity ❤️
Avacado like most fruits don't grow true to seed.get a grafted plant from a nursery.
I also like ur renovation ideas and.
Ur simplicity and u like to live here. I really think cold weather like England is depressed.u said very true
Hi Sri Lankan family, good explaining. Were ever you go in the world 🌎 , people always stair at you, especially if you are not native..
brown black white yellow. Doesn’t matter ..
It’s same story..
2023 it’s getting better,
people are good and friendly.. Most of Young generation they don’t care about the colour of your skin ,
religion beliefs and background..
for you nangi,
you are very lucky because ,
Now you in Sri Lanka. Most of people are very friendly and kind…
Most important thing in life,
You have to be happy,
were you call home and
who you share your home with..
Both of you are very lucky to have each other.
Living in one of the beautiful country’s in the world..
Again congratulations to my sister and brother..
Stay happy and healthy..
Two beautiful people who meant to be together..
You can keep the threewheeler in whichever gear you are in, then pull the clutch and then apply brake as needed. Then release the clutch in same gear or gears changed matching to the speed you gain or loose ✌️
Or if it's really steep you can leave the clutch in the whichever gear it works, letting it do the engine braking and go smoothly.
Thanks for your advice!! I will do this from now on 🙂
@@whereslucie Ride Safe ✌️
I don't see any harm in eating the chicken eggs if they are kept free of cruelty.
Eggs are very nutritious.
U inspire me in not lazing around...u do so much....i feel like doing and researching things around me more
Oh wow, amazing!! ❤️
Take care of your health and enjoy the good work you two are involved with. Naturally you two would get blessings of the nature. ❤️❤️
Good questions, true and simple answers, a great team, a successful Q & A really again. I watched part 1 again, Lucie i especially love your last comment "it's following my life...". You are on your own way. I am so happy for you, for both of you, a bright couple 🌞
maybe pearl grey color for the floor...
My best wishes for your next and future plans ❤️
Thank you for sending us your questions, they really got us thinking, and that's exactly what we wanted out of this 🥰
@@whereslucie ... thank you for your answers, stay safe, bravo ! L&L
Do you get paid working at the animal sanctuary. I have a mundane corporate job which is where my sole income is from but I also want to travel so much but I can't quit my job. I also love being close to nature and animals. How do you sustain financially? Please share with us some tips. Nevertheless, I love watching your videos. You are doing such wonderful work ❤ Love you both!
I am no Tuk-tuk Driver but I heard one of my friend saying that you need to keep your tuk-tuk in gear when downhill.
you inspired me by "Never give up no matter how hard life gets."
Always love your videos and its great inspiration to follow both of you and your projects. Remember to have fun and to relax - dont turn life into a rat race, like life is in Europe. I see a slight tendency in your late videos being busy and almost out of breath. I say it from a good heart - just remember to enjoy and rest too. Contents creators can be in a rush aswell and there is only 24 hours: sleep - work - rest = find balance. I will be in Sri Lanka in august for a year, so I will definitely visit your SOS and help out if I can. All the best. :)
Finding the balance.. yes, this is what we are in search for and working towards 🙏🏼 So amazing that you will be coming to SL for so long! I hope you can make it to the sanctuary when you're here 🥰
The people stare at you Lucie because you are so pretty, don't worry about that because it is very natural to state at people, it happens here in India also. Staring is a normal thing in many parts of the world.
18:40 who said that kind of things.We are with you.we know you lucie.we understand you,that's why we love you. You were sharing things with us for years now. Whatever you want to do,do it. we are with you and we know you two are soulmates. Don't thinks about that few comments.However Sri Lankans love you❤
You inspire me in so many ways..your postive attitude, your simplicity, your hard work, your ability to take the good and the bad in Good stride. All the best ..❤
Wow, thank you ❤️
Lucie where ever you want to plant just put a fence so pigs can't get in
but far away from your fence plant some thing for them so they will divert their attention to that
old age ( im not sure ppl do now ) Our famers leave some crops for wild animals
we had kind ppl lived here before other cultures mixed in
Buddhism widely practiced ( from the time Buddhism was introduced to Sri lanka by " Mihidu Thero " son of king Ashoka in India and the king who ruled here ,
was Dewanam piya tissa ) who converted to Buddhism and the ppl here ate food based on vegetation
animals were treated nice
no cruelty then but sadly its a different world now here
so much exploitation since Portuguese invasion and others 😞
you must read about our history its very interesting
well all the best to you guys good luck
thanks for caring for all fur angels❤
🤞
Any vehicle, motorbike, tuk tuk when going down should be in a lower gear 1 or 2 nd to have a better control.
Colombo is more cosmopolitan. You feel you are a foreigner because you are living in a remote area- which has its own charm / positives.
19minuets .Lucie & Lahiru great footage, natural and compassionate," their problem: "Who cares" not their business. Judgment is too exaggerated. Trivial, waste of time.. mo-9ve on people.😊😮ohh got it. LOVE❤
Dear Lucie, Don't worry about staring much.[I agree that it is not a good behavior] It runs through Asian genes.Not just at humans, even if a JCB is digging a hole people will gather and stare without any reason. Also 'Suddi' is not an insulting word like ' Ni**a'. Often people use this word to describe a white person.
Very happily to see Lahiru has improved in his English.
Keep it up
You inspired me to do make some dog beds out of some old tyres and doors for the dogs in my sanctuary (which is quite small with only 23 dogs). Earlier I was thinking that I should buy them some beds, but watching your videos inspired me to repurpose things which were discarded as garbage. Also, please have a meet up in Colombo on a Sunday ❤
Oh nice, LOVE that! Would love to see some photos 🙂 Yep, I think Colombo will be our next meet up location! Let me know of any good places in Colombo for it 🥰
I would leave it in first or second gear and ride it down in lower gear. Don’t use break or clutch, just keep it in a low enough gear where you are not goi g to fast.
Don't exert yourself too much please try to get rest lahiru is great stay blessed with lots of love 😍
Wish you all the very best Lucie & Lahiru
Love to hear you speak Sinhala. So nice to hear your accent. Mistakes if you make any will be somewhat innocently funny and at the same time loveable.
I will try to speak a little more Sinhala in our videos 🙂
U inspired me of how u do your house renovation. ..Normally women in srilanka don't do work on house building since its hard
Thanks for the comment 🙂 glad to hear I inspired you with home renos 🥰
So I came back 5 days ago from my second home in Sri Lanka
INDIA
SRI LANKA
PAKISTAN ( all south Asian countries )
ANY ARAB COUNTRIES SAME when its comes to STARING
i experienced this bcz i have been there but this never happens in EUROPE OR USA
I hate this
its not only for you even for Sri lankans in Sri Lanka if you dress bit different than ppl here they Stare at us this is something you need to get use to
i know its tertible 😀
Yeah I am one with nature too. Kindness is free ❤
Hi Im from Heechulism channel. It is nice to know your channel.
Hi Lucie I'm soo happy for both of you. And lucie I love growing but I was growing flowers. You made me grow my own fruits ...
Wonderful! ❤️
Luice and Lahiru Match Blessing In All The Way 💫💞💖💓💖💞💫
you both amazing ....blessing
So I’m here to comment how you inspired me 😅 I kind of seen your videos here and there before but what got me hooked is the video you did of the animals. Then I watched your video on the chicken rescue which actually inspired me to stop eating meat, that video really open my eyes cause I’m a big animal lover but I ate meat. I’m actually a vegetarian now wants to be vegan but giving up cheese is the hardest part 😅
Your kindness, being so humble and down to earth, promoting sustainable living without forcing anyone in to it, living a life true to your self, you are such a badass riding that Tuktuk also, I really wish I can meet you in real life, May be next year when I visit lanka. There is this honesty, truthfulness, sincerity in you, I don’t know exactly how to explain it but I can see that thru your videos and I haven’t ever met anyone other than my mother who had that kind of quality in them ❤
Oh wow, your comment is so touching, i have tears in my eyes reading it. You are so kind, thank you for your lovely words! I'm so happy to hear about your change, that is incredible! We would love to meet you too, so let us know when you come to SL 🥰
That's better that if you started building new house instead of renovation but its k.. Still its good and the place you kept water tank you can surround with fence and plant spinach carrot potatoes it will be good... Anyways God bless you and your husband... Working all day long and things are better every day 😘🥰🥰
Wild Pigs destroy my coconut plants here in Padukka
This world is not just for us
let them have some area and cover where you want
if i was you i will plant some stuff they can eat 😊
they are innocent animals fighting to survive
but we kill animals to eat and destroy tge planet in many different ways
im for animals more than human rights
i think you can learn lot from Lucie n Lahiru see the love they have for animals n nature
@@formycountry373 Did I tell you I kill them? I never said I kill them. I just said they destroy my coconut plants.
In my opinion i love to see foreign people around sri lanka.. So yes when a foreign drive a tuk is a new thing. Some may look at it in a bad way. But some may look waaw look that foreign drive a tuk. And some sri lankan when see a foreign they try to ask money that is really bad i don't expect it... i would love them to respect who are visiting our country.
🛺 Most of the time clutch. Using Nural gear as well. but most of the time 3rd gear and clutch
We speak good english when we are angry 😅 , your hair is now thicker and strong its growing ❤🥰🤷💗
Im so happy to hear in your back ground Meditation which call "Maithree " මෛත්රි භාවනාව. Meditating for all beings in this world
is it playing in your house ?
or
temple near your home ?
Hey Lucie, I earnestly hope in some day making youtube videos become your primary job. Then you would be able to make those DIY videos, travel videos, etc. Hope you have energy to work hard until that become reality one day.
Hey Lucy,
Red polished floors are like Red carpet in Sri Lanka 😊
But I thought there are not much of them now as people started to do floor tiles lately. Nice white, beige, cream color tiles
I think it was something of higher social status back then 🙂
Great Q&A.
Just wondering if you could cut your hours down at Animal SOS and have 2 days off a week instead of just 1. You really do need some downtime as you've so much going on and you don’t want to burn out.
Also am surprised AG1 haven't approached you to do advertising for them. Every vegan TH-camr I follow seem to be working with them. I've been taking it for about 9 months and it is good, although it is expensive.
Thank you ❤️ it's a long story to be honest about the hours, and things will be changing for us both soon, so we are looking forward to the near future 🙂
I love AG1 too, we've been taking it for a while now and love how it makes me feel, so many people are taking it now, seems like it's the most marketed product 😛
I feel you lucie. I have the same issue but I look like Sri Lankan but I still get treated as foreigner. It’s really difficult. ❤
I've heard this many times also with Sri Lankan citizens who have moved abroad, when they return they are then treated like foreigners despite being born in Sri Lanka! Crazy..
Like the conditions of the Doberman from when you got it.
Unfortunately our people see the colour not the person.. Sad that you are still been called the foreigner..
Keep up the good work Lucy, you r a treasure for my country 💐💖
Love you both of you take care
In a time where Lankans are going to the UK and other countries, Lucy did the inverse.!
Great. Keep up your good work
Going downhill with the gear in Neutral is unsafe which applies to cars as well.
It is a big No No 😮
Don’t worry lucie. Now your srilankan women. Peoples are knowing both you day by day. Sri lanka is very beautiful country and living lot beautiful peoples here. I know you. Now you are srilanakn women..
If you have a meetup in Colombo on a Sunday I WILL BE THERE!!!!❤
Ooooh yes, we hope to! 🥰
L & L ❤"Lovely Ls❤❤". You guys are amazing. I cant do what you guys are doing at SOS. I will have get a stroke seeing all that sadness abd pain. Maybe I could. But im too chicken so ran away when i couldn't escape the never ending dumping and rescuing..i ran out of options. So one option to get out of the country with our rescued babies..long story short..so i admire your strength and courage. And people staring at you is because they love your white skin..and admiring you..so just enjoy and you know how the royal family has to escape the media all the time. Its Its something like that..you are treated like a that girl .either they admire you or hate you..and the red floor..its the red paint i think traditional or easier to find? Not sure. We had our old home with red cement. 😂😂😂.
You and Lahiru are amazing ..
I really enjoy your videos and listening and learning about how you lucie live and work in Sri Lanka. How do you do it? I don’t live in Sri Lanka but I have been their twice first time was for 7 months and 6 months and found very difficult.
Ive never understood the vegan thing, maybe someone can correct me, but in order to produce vegetables farmers kill rodents, fumigate bugs regularly, kill birds and any other kind of pests that would destroy their crops, so i mean....
i reccomend SLT broadband! and 100% guarantee the connection bc it saved my life
I will look into it 🙂
Hey gys i respect you both. because you do many merit thing. lusi you don,t follow eny religion. i follow the buddha s teaching but i respect you mor than our monk.
Anyday in Colombo we will be ready for a meet up !
When you & lahiru have your own child.
හැමදාම එකට ඉන්න ❤️
I love that elephant tattoo!! So cute!
