How are things going? UK beginnings 

That was cute. I like your “how it’s going” videos.

What blew my mind is that these estates had dedicated rooms just in case royalty visited. Beds overseas are not great.

I LOVED Chatsworth house!!!

We used to have water fountains now we have to buy bottles of the stuff

When I was a kid, water fountains in parks in Sheffield were most definitely 'a thing.' I remember drinking gallons of the stuff on hot days (yes, there were some.) But, to my recollection the design of them precluded their use to fill an empty bottle, they tended to bubble up a bit like a garden water feature. I'm guessing that the demise of public drinking fountains is because they've probably fallen victim to our Health and Safety laws. It's the sort of thing our 'nanny state' would do.

Well done 👍🏻❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

Stay safe lovely family. I wish you rainbows.

You won't get water in motorway services wash rooms. They are required to provide free toilets, so they have to get your money off you somehow. Supermarkets are the same, but their home brand bottled water is cheap enough. It's actually illegal to charge for tap water in cafes & restaurants. If you keep your eyes open a lot of gardens will have outside taps. So if you're cheeky... tell them its for your dog & guilt trip them. 😉 I can't believe our mattresses are any different to elsewhere, top end ones may well be better as we produce all the right goodies yo make 'em, lamb's wool etc. They're likely just worn out, replacing them would put a big dint in their profits & it's unlikely many would return. A mattress topper might help a bit.

Great video 👍 Maybe consider doing a house swap to help cut the cost etc. like the talk about the logistics of getting transport etc.😊

Just remember the only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask!

Daar -b- shir. Short shir. Water fountains used to be everywhere then there was the whole Aids misinformation issue and authorities didn't want to take responsibility for potential consequences of people's health. Maintenance and upkeep also became a problem in deciding who was responsible for paying for them, the water company or the local authority. At the time the water companies were state owned but had become private companies with shareholders who didn't see why they should pay for public use of water fountains. So now we all pay for bottles water or take it with us from home.

I noticed that in the uk re water, it’s not built for hot days. The water quality not great so you buy bottled water.
