This week I'm in England visiting family and friends, join me as we catch up with people in our home town and in London.
I also show you some of the differences between our home in the UK and our home in Florida.

Glad you’ve had time to catch up with friends and family whilst you sort out your furniture shipping ! Hartlepool seems nicer than I imagined, so thanks for showing us ! Enjoy your stay x

Most homes in the US have fences also. I have never lived in a house without a fence in the US and I have lived in many houses and locations in my lifetime. I have lived in California, Texas, Washington D.C., Maryland and now South Carolina. Builders will not commonly build the fence for you, you have to have it built yourself. Some neighborhoods have rules on what kind of fence you can have so that your neighborhood doesn't look bad with too many different kinds of fences. But most people have pets/dogs and/or pools and you need to have a fence. In a lot of states or cities there are laws that if you have a pool you have to have a fence.

@Katiesfloridalife Месяц назад

Oh wow you’ve lived in lots of states that’s cool!! Yeh we have to have a certain fence if we do decide to get one too, I’m sure the HOA wouldn’t be happy if I just put any color up 🤦🏼‍♀️ thanks for watching x

It isn't a rule that American bedrooms have to have a closet, but you just wouldn't find a house or apartment built in the last century+ without them. Legally bedrooms only have to have a window. So if you had a room with a window but no closet you could use it as a bedroom (and list it or describe it as a bedroom) but they are intended for a different use, such as a study, den, or office. You can never list a windowless room as a bedroom.

@Katiesfloridalife Месяц назад

Yeh the same in the UK that they have to have a window… ah right so it’s not actually a rule about a closet, my mistake I thought it was. To be honest it should be that rule all over the world 😂 but I know most places they just don’t build homes big enough!! Thanks for watching x

Hi new subscribers here really enjoying the channel.Glad the weathers been good for you returning to the uk.My nieces off to the taylor swift gigs soon.That beach looked lovely were from the seaside town of cromer in norfolk.Enjoy your stay and we also love florida an awesome place.Have a great week big 👍👍👍🙂

@Katiesfloridalife Месяц назад

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. It’s amazing living near the sea isn’t it, I’ve always felt lucky having that on my doorstep (when I’m in the UK) never been to Norfolk but would love to. Xx

@lynnhague655 Месяц назад

Another great vlog Katie. You have a lovely home, and that seafront walk in Hartlepool could give Florida a run for its money, it looks lovely. I’d love to live by the sea. Good luck with the shipping. We are looking forward to next week’s vlog already. Love to all x

@Katiesfloridalife Месяц назад

The seafront looks gorgeous doesn’t it especially when the sun is shining :-) I’m dreading this week and emptying another house but will be worth it 😍 xx

@THErealBRITSofFlorida Месяц назад

such a beautiful area. I was getting all nostalgic watching. Not having mom now, I wonder when I'll go back. Love seeing Tesco's. Great video Katie and love the comparison, funny you forget some of the major differences. Enjoy the rest of your time there xo

@Katiesfloridalife Месяц назад

We do have some lovely parts of the town , I love being here. Tesco is my fave shop here, just love the way it’s set out and find it the nicest out of the supermarkets. Send me a list of things you want from here!! Xx

@samandpat1 Месяц назад

Great to have the house to pop back to. I would love to retire to Florida for Winters ,so really enjoy watching your Orlando content . Well done ,😀

Another fab video, they're getting better every week. I'd considered doing videos myself but haven't got the patience (or the tech really) for editing - I just wouldn't know which bits to leave out but you've got a knack for it. Loved the coomparison. We often nip to Seaton (from Stockton) in the summer for a walk along the beach (and a sneaky visit to the Almighty Cod). Only 80 days until our annual trip to our place in Haines City - can't wait. Enjoy the rest of your trip, hope all the removals plans are going well.

@Katiesfloridalife Месяц назад

Thank you that’s really kind of you to say, it’s definitely a process this vlogging and I’m learning every week! The almighty cod is our fave too 😍 Not long for your trip, that will be here before you know it!! Thanks for watching again x

Hi Katie, we also lived in Doha for quite a long time and I remember sitting outside of Doha College in my car waiting to pick up my son and the temp was 50C and that was in June 😓, I don’t miss that. We also have a house in UK that we used to come home to but have moved back permanently now. x

@Katiesfloridalife Месяц назад

No way what a small world, that’s the school my daughter went to 😊 I honestly don’t miss that at all it’s just unbearable heat isn’t it! Hope your happy back living in the UK, and thanks for watching xx

@readingforfun7957 Месяц назад

Hello, another great vlog. You may want to look at flights out of Fort Lauderdale, or Miami airport might be cheaper. You can take the Brightline train from the Orlando airport to those locations.

@Katiesfloridalife Месяц назад

I will have to expand my search next time yes, I’ll check those out thanks. Thanks for watching x

@gilscot100 Месяц назад

Loved seeing around Tesco. Biggest thing I miss - Markies.🙁. When I was home last year I was in the food section for ages. And I stocked up on deodorant- don’t understand at all….other than in the US if they can get away with it they will keep the prices inflated. And we may have the big washing machines but the detergents are rubbish. Again quality and price controlled by a few multi nationals. I buy a product made in Canada. Although I see it beginning to appear in California. I so enjoyed that series/film - The Man, His Wife and The Canoe. A case of fact stranger than fiction. So glad you and your daughter are having a nice time back home. I saw that Prince William took George and Charlotte to see Taylor Swift

@Katiesfloridalife Месяц назад

It’s just crazy how they can keep the prices inflated that much 🤦🏼‍♀️ yes I do love looking around UK shops, they just seem a lot less crazier than in the US but then I love the US for that also! Ah yes prince William was at the same one our friends went too, that’s who we met in London, wish we could have went but didn’t get tickets! Thanks so much for watching x

Katie it’s funny you say this about the flights from USA to Europe! I was talking about that with my friends from America and it’s like they want Americans to stay in America and not spend their money abroad! I live in Spain even for me, the flights have doubled now to go to Orlando.

It’s crazy isn’t it 😳😳 it really is going to dictate where and when we travel now! Thanks for watching x

Love your vlogs Katie, me hubby and daughter are currently renting a condo in Bradenton, on the gulf Coast, we love coming here, love AMI. We live in Cullercoats, wish our beaches were as nice as AMI 😊 Look forward to all your vlogs xx

@kakarikiyazoo Месяц назад

It depends. You can find lots of offers for cheap fares to Europe. But you usually have to depart from specific airports, which means arranging a cheap domestic flight to get to that city. If you live in New York or San Francisco you have an advantage, for example. From Orlando you might get better fares if you leave from Atlanta or Charlotte maybe? But they probably only go to London or Manchester, and other U.K. city airports are tougher to book. I wonder if you use a VPN and try to book a U.S. outbound flight but using a U.K. IP if you can get better fares?

@julesvlogs2222 Месяц назад

Loved the UK vlog, I haven’t been “home” in 16 years. I should really plan a trip back, it’s just I would probably have to go on my own as my boys have autism and I don’t think (1 at least) would cope with flying.

@Katiesfloridalife Месяц назад

It’s a long way isn’t it if your boys are not familiar with that environment, planes are stressful!! I definitely won’t be going home as much as I used to when we lived in Qatar. Thanks so much for watching xx

@julesvlogs2222 Месяц назад

@@Katiesfloridalife I think we are going to try a quick flight somewhere next year (maybe Busch Gardens Virginia as it’s only 2 hours) to see how he does. He’s agreed to it which is huge for him (usually it’s a no and a meltdown if we continue asking.) he realizes after 10 hours in the car to TN that it’s much quicker and said he will try. 🤷‍♀️

@iwonamezyd5489 Месяц назад

The bags of rubbish in the garage “waiting to go to the skip” is actually a true representation of what 99% of UK garages look like 😂 and then a 2 mile queue to the local skip on a sunny Sunday when everyone decided to actually make the trip 😅

@Katiesfloridalife Месяц назад

I know 😂😂 we have to have an appointment at the local skip too so it has to be planned!! There will be many more bags by the end of this week and the house is finally empty. Thanks for watching x

Could you not get someone from UK to book flights from here Im sure it would work out cheaper than booking in uk

@Katiesfloridalife Месяц назад

I tried that, we tried using a VPN to say we were in the UK but didn’t make any difference. It’s just something we will have to factor in now we live there, never mind! X
