England, what's the best part? As an American, I get asked that question often... For me it's the picturesque country side filled with green grass and Sheep.
It warms the heart to see a man enjoy peace and blessings in the small quiet things in such a noisy world were not a big island but we’re home, welcome sir ☺️
You live on a farm? Remember most of us live in busy cities, towns & even council estates.. You are very lucky to live in the beautiful English countryside .. So happy you like it here 🙂👍🇬🇧
There are some rough council estates but they're not all bad, just ruined by a small minority that like to cause problems. It's sad people can get stuck on estates but at least the rent is cheap, you get secure tenancies and there's a sense of community that you don't find in some inner city areas.
I live on a council estate and it is right next door to a whole heap of countryside. I can hear cows mooing at night. Most places in the UK are never more than an hours drive from spectacular countryside and two hours drive from the sea, that's not even mentioning the miles and miles of rivers and canals we have in this country.
@@solatiumz I grew up on a council estate, that was also right next to the countryside. We went mushrooming, picking wild fruits etc. Was almost like living off the land, while living on an estate. Unfortunately, all council estate residents cannot do that, especially now.. The countryside would suffer too much. I'm very aware how & why foxes have moved into our cities, as theres not enough natural prey left for them in the wild. Thanks for your input! 🙂👍🇬🇧
Make sure to take a trip to Wales if you love sheep. It's so relaxing to watch them climb and munch the mountain 🤣 Good luck with your farm and welcome to England!
The man loves his sheep, I like that we have no animals that are harmful to us so all of nature is accessible. We have an adder but nobody has been killed by one in years
@@gwynwilliams4222 As a Scot , Gwyn, I‘m very glad to see that my fellow Celts in Wales have joined us in the wearing of the kilt. I know it’s only because the sheep have learned to recognise the sound of a zipper, but it’s heart warming anyway. Cymru am byth ac / agus Alba gu bràth.
I'm so glad you and your family think so, how's the Alpaca faring?...Have you seen the Yorkshire Shepherdess yet? They have 9 children, who all help out with the flock...You can find them on RU-vid, under heading Our Yorkshire Farm...Cheers.
Also check out ‘The Yorkshire Vet’ 8:00pm Tuesday on ‘Channel 5’ - assuming that you are viewing U.K. television. Apart from being an interesting and informative series, Sheep and Alpacas often feature in the episodes, especially in regard of problems associated with birthing and general Animal Husbandry in a farming community, all useful information.
But are there no sheep in the USA? (Charming channel by the way, and not just because of the kind things you say about the UK. I hope your family continue to enjoy your time here as much as you have thus far. I just watched the video of your children running around in the snow, and throwing snowballs at each other - so cute! (and I speak as a connoisseur of panda videos))
not many it goes back to the cowboy days cowboys despised sheep cos unlike the cows sheep eat grass to the roots destroying fields for a longtime so they where hated. thats why americans dont eat much lamb
Many things to love about the U.K. in general and specifically England. I love the parks and the countryside less than 30 minutes from my house and the community that I live in.
All I care about is your happiness and you are enjoying our little Island. Have loads of fun and do try if you can to get down to Cornwall, lots of history as well and lots of lovely beaches for the children although your never really far from a beach here. 🙏🏻❤️
I hope your enjoyment is long and rewarding. Can I suggest a few places to visit this summer!? 1. Ironbridge near Telford in Shropshire, the open air museum at Blists Hill is a brilliant experience and will teach you and your family something of British historical culture. There are several museums that you can visit on a single pass at Ironbridge. 2. Black Country Living Museum. Similar to Blists Hill but centred around the uniqueness of the industrial Black Country. Severn Valley Railway, start at Kidderminster and travel to Bridgnorth and take time to look around this old market town, also check out the incline railway. 3. The RAF Museum at Cosford, a fantastic collection of RAF aircraft and a history of the RAF since its inception as the world's first Air Force. All of the above are within easy reach of Gloucestershire. As you're based in Gloucestershire you might be interested in a few hidden gems within the county. Hit me up if you want to see some of the old RAF airfields from WWII (My special interest), some still active and many being reclaimed by nature.
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons 🙏🏼🇬🇧
Could you have a chat with a lot of British people. There is a tendency to run their wonderful country down and find fault with the most ridiculous things. When I lived there in the 1980's they were friendly, helpful and happy. Unfortunately when I returned in 2007, i found that do many of them were moaning whingers that needed to count their blessings.
Sheep farming doesn't provide farmers with the profits they deserve. I don't understand how wool isn't a bigger commodity, especially considering the quality of the wool in the UK. I just think we're not doing a very good job of marketing and utilising the commodity, and that hurts sheep farmers.
Sheep?????? All those bloody things ever do is eat sleep and die! See if you can get your hands on any of the old books by Henry Brewis (A Northumberland mixed livestock farmer who died in 2000) They are hilarious, especially the cartoons!
