I know Bishops Itchington well, I was Brough up in Kineton. I'm old now, but I remember riding, and teaching my daughters to ride, at Pittern Hill stables, Kineton. After leaving Fyfe Lodge in the village we lived at Brookhampton, just around the corner from Pittern Hill.
Your video popped up randomly on my screen so I thought, what the heck. I watched and subscribed. Welcome to the UK. I wonder how long it will be before you stop saying Mom and adopt the British Mum 🤔 I'm in a small village in North Yorkshire surrounded by sheep and cattle and horses, so a world away from city life. It suits me fine and I hope your bit of England suits you and you have a happy time here.
Hi. UA-cam recommended your channel so first time here. You are right as a Brit growing up in a large semi rural village we had a church, 2 pubs, a couple of corner shops (7 eleven types) and a bakers. Pubs are like community meeting points in most villages and areas of towns. I could go into either pub in my village and knew 95% of people. I was telling a US counterpart that last week I went to my local pub 5 times to meet mates for a post work drink. I think I only had 4 pints and a coke across the 5 days but he thought I might have a serious issue!!

Many Americans who have come to live in Britain are interested in it's history, if you are one of them may I suggest you see if the village you live in is mentioned in the Doomsday (actually written as the Domesday Book) Book and what, if anything, is said about it. I for one am intrigued by such entries in a book 935 years (approx) old!

Later, after the restoration of the monarchy there was still a strong belief in the evil of alcohol.

New Subscriber here. Welcome. Refreshing to know you like our food. Watching Reels on Facebook relating to British food, there are so many nasty comments from Americans saying our food is disgusting. I may have to link this video to all the nasty comments I read. Get you some more views ans educate some people 🤣. I love village life.
The food is fantastic. I came to England when I was 17 and I’m now 36 and am SO happy to have access to British food. American food is so processed. Feel free to link this video 🥰
Belive it or not a widely accepted definition of a village in the UK (versus a hamlet) is that it has a church and a central meeting point like a square or a crossroads etc. So without a church it's not a village!
You obviously like walking in our beautiful countryside, so why don’t you subscribe to the Ordnance Survey, and for £34 you get all the maps of the UK including Northern Ireland, NZ, Australia and the USA (although the last three countries maps are not as detailed). It might sound expensive , but one individual paper map costs £10, and you get hundreds of maps for the price of three! OS maps show all the public footpaths that you can walk on over private land, some dating back to the Bronze Age, and that’s old!
Most people in the UK aren't atheist, they just aren't religious. To categorize everyone as atheists is very polarising and dangerous rhetoric. Kind of like American politics.
The local church is a focal point, and is also used as a meeting l, ceremonial and social place, as well as religion. Our local village church has a library, and nursery for instance.
Most people in the UK aren't atheists, they're apatheists and don't care about religion. But how is calling people atheist when they are, very polarising and dangerous rhetoric. I'm an atheist, and so is our Prime Minister. I don't care if you call me one and I don't see that as dangerous rhetoric at all. Maybe in the US, but the UK is not the US. BTW, the definition of an atheist is someone who doesn't believe in any god(s), your's included, and nothing else.
@@henrybest4057 Yeah, it's more from a US standpoint it being dangerous. You explained it well why it's dangerous in your first sentence, as in she should be using the word apathist, not atheist. Calling people atheists is just inflammatory language. It's dangerous to call everyone atheists because they are not atheists.
It's always fascinating to see how an American views our country. But two things maybe to consider: Those of us of the large population nowadays who don't follow organised religion are not specifically atheists. We are likely to be agnostic, and live with 'great, you do your thing, we'll do ours' (p.s. evangelism by any Church is not usually welcomed). I'm not sure the wisdom of indicating exactly where you live. That information goes out to the whole wide world and the numerous nutters out there. Surely you would wish to protect your family, even if it's within the deep rural life of England. Where you live is not very far from where I live in the county, and, yes, that area is quite lovely. Keep well. Robert, (Royal) Leamington Spa.
@@haasfamfarm Got it! Just respectfully asking what made you moved to England? Britons make much less money than Americans and have less opportunities, also their economy is sinking. What was your reason to move there? Do you plan to settle down in the UK?

Love this. Look forward to watching your journey, welcome to England 👍

Villages in southern England have an Anglican (Episcopalian to you) church. In northern England they often also have a Methodist church.

As with any rule there are usually exceptions, some Lincolnshire villages do not have and have never had a pub.
Any particular reason for that?

Really appreciate you watching!
Important to note the Church of England is more of a social club than a religious institution these days.
Really? I feel like ours has wonderful services and we have made great friends.
@@haasfamfarm Doesn't mean its's bad by any means but religion is sort of optional there as long as you make the right noises.
Why let your dog run wild in a graveyard
The people who live there never complain 😊
❤ from Northeast England ❤️
The locals aren't the complaining types, always a wall and a gate away from traffic, makes good sense to me
Stop being a moaner.😊
Why be so precious about a dog running around?
So that he may find a juicy bone buried there. 😮😮
And when are you leaving?
Who knows 🥰
@@haasfamfarm Perhaps you could show a bit more respect, by not allowing your dog to run around the churchyard?
Warwickshire is not North of London, sweetie. Essex yes.
she said two hours north.
I suggest you look at the map the correct way up. Warwickshire is definitely north of London and Essex is immediately to the east of London.
Boring.
