    Loved this video …we were posted to England( Cotswold area) for a year and I fell in love with it…did horse back riding down Puddleduck lane , cream teas …beautiful countryside and we had the best weather they had experienced in 100 years…cried when I left. Have a wonderful trip!

    When Andrew said "All of her family really, really loved her. They thought of her as a genius, you could tell". Then, you say, "Which is more important anyway....". A beautiful moment right there ❤

    We lived in Hertfordshire for the years and are now visiting after two years away. We love it here! Everything looks so picturesque and lovely. We love all the public footpaths as well. *Sigh*

    If I remember correctly the place you ate in at Oxford was what the original great hall in the Harry Potter series was used during some filming before they created it in the studio buildings. They used a number of places at Oxford to film and create the different areas of Hogwarts.

    You`ll maybe think I`m crazy, but I was so choked up watching Andrew`s reactions, what an absolutely wonderful tailor-made trip for him! Also, being able to dine in Balliol college at Oxford is pretty special! This is my favourite of the graduation trips you`ve done! So happy for him to be able to do this, you`re amazing parents!

    Andrew, our family 1st fell in love with you when your mom made the month of pies. We looked forward how you expressed how the texture and taste of the pies were. We think you are very astute for we know for sure that you will make the best of everything you touch a success. Stay as kind and beautiful as your loving parents brought you up. Enjoy yourself in Africa.
    Much love from Texas

    Jane Austen’s home isn’t far from where I grew up and I didn’t even know! It looks amazing. And what a treat to be shown round Oxford University! Enjoy England. It’s an amazing place with wonderful people and incredible history. Love that you guys love it there! It’s great to see the place through fresh eyes! 🇬🇧🇬🇧

    I remember when your family lived in England for those many months and so glad to see that Andrew wanted to go back. I dont blame him at all. England is absolutely beautiful. The buildings structures are very beautiful and the history that comes with them. Only if walls could talk.

    It's nice to see that both got a break and were able to relax a bit, but I honestly can't wait for the home renovation videos to start again. I live in the UK and was really hoping that I would maybe bump into you, sadly I was looking in the wrong places. I love seeing the progress of the house and get so excited to get a notification. I remember when the house was first brought and to see how much it's changed is so beautiful. I wish you all the best and can't wait for your next video.

    One of my cycle club pals lives in the house next door to Jane's. Her brother Knightly I think , lived in the mansion opposite, which us owned by an American lady and houses the largest feminine library in Europe I am told. I live in a town 8 miles away , New Alresord built 18th century, hence the new

    Have to say - I am loving your current hairstyle - looks so good on you! Kudos to Mike for having the courage to drive in the UK- my husband is a pilot and flies internationally a lot and pretty much refuses to try it - says it’s too ingrained in his head to drive on the wrong side

    The opening was hilarious. We went to England when I was about 12 to pick up one of my older brothers from his mission. Before we picked him up, my dad drove and scraped the stuffed of the car when the bushes🤣🤣🤣🤣. So glad when my brother took over.
    I love Jane Austen as well. I need to go back to England as an adult. Is appreciate it more

    Wow what a trip for you. Welcome to England! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 I would love to have met you all, but seeing your reactions on the video was great. We don’t appreciate our country sometimes. I felt quite emotional when you entered the old church and Jane Austin’s house. I always watch your videos and have been following the house renovations. Keep up the good work and have a safe trip ❤️
