Hi Caroline, Ive only lived in 4 houses in my life, we moved to our current home in 2013 and like you, I pinch myself everytime I drive into the proprety as I'm amazed i live here. Its 120 year old Edwardian villa looking out to sea in Whitehead, N.Ireland. To say this home feeds my sole is an understatement, from its still intact period details, to the views, I feel so blessed. Enjoyed your Vlog, its prompted me to put together a photo book of memories from places I lived, thank you 😃
I loved this Caroline, I live in the first property I ever bought and have been here for 44years and still love it
Thanks for sharing Caroline! I had a fairly nomadic childhood due to my Dad’s job in The Avon & Somerset police force and prior to my marriage in 1988 had lived in 8 police houses starting in Taunton in 1963, Radstock, back to Taunton, Weston-Super-Mare, Bath (2 houses) & Chipping Sodbury, then Yate (in South Gloucester)! I have foggy memories of the early ones like you, but many happy memories in the latter ones! Since marrying we have moved several times adding 4 more houses to my list lol, our current home is the longest I have lived anywhere in my nearly 58 years and I think it will be our forever home!
Lovely seeing this comment when watching Caroline’s video .. I’m watching from Queensland Australia, but come from Weston-super-Mare. :) The internet sure does make the world feel a lot smaller xx
Thank you...very enjoyable! Looking forward to the house renos!!!!
Absolutely loved this, Caroline! I love hearing people's stories and reminisces...reminiscences? Either way lol. Have a wonderful week/weekend! xx
Loved seeing all the different houses you ahve lived , this was really interesting for an Aussie to see the quaint little houses! enjoyed it so much Xxx
Yes Carol, it’s another life style. In Moreton Bay Shire, north of Brisbane, there is no “village” life! Hot, sunny and humid.
Great! Loved that you had photos of the various houses/flats.
I am from an army family so have had 10-15 homes in different countries. So I’ve never really become attached to the houses as we moved on every two years.I bought my first home in 1992 aged 25 yrs then my next in 1997 and in the following 10 years moved 6 times as I used do do them up and move on trying to pay my mortgage off by the time I was 40. I managed it aged 39 and 11 months ! My favourite is my current bungalow and I plan to stay long term .
I really enjoyed hearing about all your different homes Caroline. I have moved around a lot, born in Nottingham, moved to Staffordshire in my 40s then Warwickshire, then to France, back to Nottingham and now in Leicestershire until we move in a few weeks to Lincolnshire xx
Very enjoyable. Thanks Caroline 😊
Your intro makes me happy :)
Interesting video - made me think about all the homes I’ve had. The only one I have great attachment to, was the one I brought my babies home too.
Loved the trip down memory lane. Thanks for sharing!!!
What a fab video. Extremely interesting and a very different type of vlog. Well done Caroline and Thank you x
Very interesting Caroline. I enjoyed your chat immensely.
Hi Caroline .i loved this video it was interesting to hear how you begun your accomodation journeys. You and Ashley seem to be very well suited and have achieved very much together obviously with hard work .xx
Hi Caroline, only recently came across your channel on You Tube and have watched your more recent videos. This was a lovely background to who you are, I really enjoyed it ❤
Hi, Caroline. Thanks so much for this video. So interesting and fun to walk down memory lane with you. Take care. Blessings from California XXX
Awe I loved this vlog Caroline just knowing another bit of ur life thank you Caroline xx
Very interesting Caroline thanks for sharing just a little piece of your life with us loved it xo 😘 😘 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Loved this Caroline …. I’ve moved 5 times … your parents house is not dissimilar to the one I grew up in …. I’m in the middle of selling it having a similar situation to yourself … really enjoyable video … thank you 💐
Hi Caroline! Looking lovely, you look so young in this video.
I absolutely loved hearing about your life Caroline thank you for sharing this
Lovely video Caroline, my husband was a Devonian we had a friend who lived in a thatched cottage it was lovely but I don't think there was a straight wall or floor in place. You have been lucky enough to live in some lovely homes it was a very interesting chat to sit and have lunch to. We spent every summer when the kids were at school going down and staying with Keith's Mum I know these narrow lanes very well I absolutely hated them in the dark. Take care. 🐸x
Great video Caroline.... thank you 😊 xx
Loved seeing all the different houses you have lived in Caroline x
The thatch cottage was amazing but my favourite is your current home. Love it.
Absolutely brilliant, I love how you described everything. You was lucky to live there..I use to live at a smallholding in the countryside when young. So peaceful.Never forgotten it.Thank you Caroline.
Very interesting video thanks for sharing that part of your life
Afternoon Caroline love hearing , to people's lives so interesting I lived in four houses this one 43 years don't think I will be moving from here take care.♥️
Great video Carolune, very interesting. I m so nosey so this suited me! xx
Hi Caroline, I really enjoyed this video, I really don’t have much attachment to houses either. My mum and dad lived in the house I was born in until my dad died and eventually mum had to move out into social housing and had a ground floor flat. Mums died now too though. I think I moved possibly 8 times and think we are now settled. Thank you x
Only ever lived in one family home which is where my father still lives my mum passed away 19years ago this month but he thought he was OK to maintain it... Meaning my sister and her husband and daughter when she is home and the 2 beagles could move in (crafty). It has no meaning to me now lovely memories of my mum and I as there was a woodland and stream right outside the back gate but when 1 was nearly 4 the devil spawn was born and I got out as soon as I could. Well you can't choose family caroline
That was very fun!
Hello Caroline. Thoroughly enjoyed - as it told us about your life as much as where and when you lived in the various houses. Thank you. (Will definitely check out your life before YT video). A friend of mine moved to the house next door! (terraced house scenario). I have only lived in 5 houses - 2 of those were whilst working abroad (Budapest and Paris). I experienced a tinge of sadness at saying goodbye to the main family home this year (where I ended up caring for my Mum who had V Dementia). I moved in May (after a 9 month selling nightmare) saying goodbye to some happy but many unhappy family home memories. Am happy that the new owners of that house are now knocking 7 bells out of it. The shell will remain, but the changes within will almost 'erase' some unhappy memories and the move has provided me with the opportunity to write the last few chapters of my life (I've had my half-time orange after all !). I may swing past the family home if and when I go back (am 127 miles away now).....maybe . x Loved the orange gonk and Frog Cottage stories ! x
Hi Cariline, thanks for this, it was a bit of nostalgic fun and memories, especially your times living and working on the cruise ships, I could tell you were very happy at that time by your body language, also the cottage with your 🐸 ornaments and hanging basket outside the front door, how lovely, I used to collect them years ago to. My friends who live in Cornwall gave their home a name, so when I write them that's what I put on the envelope, I've only ever lived at houses/flats with numbers so I'm always telling people about what it's like to live at a house like that, I'm into all that stuff, astrology, numerology, feng shui.
We live at a number nine, means leave your troubles at the door and it's probably the only home I've lived in were I've felt settled strangely enough, although I followed some of the feng shui of having your living space a certain way by introducing plants and coins behind the front door etc.
Anyway Caroline see you on your next vlog, take care, love to Ashley, William and lovely cat Ron xxxx 🏚🛖🏡🏩🛳⛴
Loved this one, think I will do a journal page for the houses I’ve lived in, similar to you that I haven’t really had any emotional attachment to houses I’ve lived in as an adult, but my parents are still in my childhood home and my son has a bedroom there that was my bedroom. I’m a few miles up the road from Ponty and remember it being a polytechnic 😁
Caroline you truly know how to pick them all houses lovely
That was really interesting, Caroline. I love the style of your present house. I think I’ve moved eight times over the years. I was born in Kendal. I’ve lived in Leeds and London, then moved to Glasgow in 1991. I’ve lived in my present flat since 2004. I now want to move to Gourock or near there.
Gosh Caroline I'm 63 and only lived in 2 houses. My childhood house and the one I'm in now since 1980 when got married. I think I'm rooted lol
Hi Caroline, I have lived in too many places in my lifetime, including about a year in Florence Road, Boscombe….a summer of madness…..thanks for sharing some of your memories. Bless you…xx
What a coincidence, my son used to live in Florence Road, boscombe, from 2006 to 2008 😄
@@clementinemandarin7224 at the time the house was a flat share, we lived in the attic 😊
Hi Caroline,
Thank you for such an interesting insight into your life through all the many homes you have lived in. Curiously I used to work in Treforest at the University of Glamorgan, previously the Polytechnic of Wales.
Loved this trip down memory lane Mrs M 🤗🤗🤗
Great vlog, I have moved 35 times in 67 years England America Australia and it's not finished yet.. I'm hoping only 1 more move fingers crossed. X
@@Joan-COYI hello Joan, I'm now at the stage I need to settle thanks to ill health, if I could learn to downsize I'm thinking nice retirement village, but I'm finding downsizing too hard lol.. x
Hi Caroline , I absolutely LOVED this one 🤗 I'm so nosy about houses people live in , I Just Loved it 😊, you seem to have had such a busy life I watched the video about you on the cruise ships , I reckon that must have been the perfect life for a young person to live , what memories you must have , such stories t tell your Grandchildren (hint to Will maybe ), Just Joking 😃😆😂😂, yes your life makes mine seem so boring , I've only lived in three houses all my life , loved all three of them tho 😃, Thanks again for sharing , I do love your vid's 🤗😊♥️, Take Care Love XX Love to Ashley and Will x
Gosh you’re parent’s house is gorgeous, I am sure it will sell quickly 🙏
Loved it!
🏠 🏠 🏠 Very enjoyable. Made me think back.
I did enjoy…thanks for sharing🥰🇨🇦🤗
Really enjoyed this Caroline………I have moved lots of times and I’m not attached to property either. I now live in a lovely ground floor apartment in a semi retirement complex and it’s fantastic…….we love the security and it’s in a fantastic location a few miles from the sea at Lytham…….
Thanks for sharing Caroline ☺️. I have no attachment to houses/homes for myself but did really really struggle when my brother and I had to sell our family home when mum was living in the Care Home. My mum had found it impossible to sell the family home after my dad had passed away many years previously. My personal take on that is that she felt closer to dad and wanted to stay. I wonder if some people become more attached to houses/ homes if they’ve raised their families in them. Xxxxx
Loved the video ❤️❤️❤️
My grandmother lived in a flat in Walpole way Boscombe. Really enjoyed this video xxx
Very interesting and informative thanks for sharing 👍🏻❤️
I love this Caroline!!! 1914.....that was a good year...we were dancing in Paris right? xo Susan
Ah . Thank you . Really enjoyed it .
X X
I loved the stories of your houses, so interesting. The thatch roof one was precious but I’m sure it had features that didn’t suit a modern way of life. Thanks for sharing. As for your family home where Mum is, if you are anything like me you will have a big sook when you can no longer go there. I see my parents house where I grew up every day and it makes me so sad despite the happy memories. I can still picture being in the garden with my Dad and his shed, everything. Now he has passed it’s a happy sad challenge seeing others living there.
I like you am not attached to.old houses I lived in as I like change and adventure and am very flexible. However I have noticed that older people ( my mother included) get very attached to their homes and memories.
I really enjoyed this video it made me think about the various places I’ve lived over the years and it turns out I’m on house number 15 which was quite a surprise! I’m now thinking of putting an album together of photos from all the different homes I think that would be fun to do and to show the kids.
Caroline, I think your hair looks really nice in this video xx
Thanks for this - it was really interesting and I guess to be expected given Ashley's line of work! It made me stop and think, and as it turns out, I have lived in 15 different houses, and in 5 different countries. We have never done any renovating - think that would have been disastrous for us, although we did build on a screened-in porch in one house. I meet so many people who are fascinated by the fact that I've actually lived other places . I'm a Brit, moved to Canada at 19 (not by choice, although I did like it, except for the cold), then to Australia (God's country!), then to the US, to Hong Kong, and finally back to the US. I would move back to the UK in a heartbeat, and would love to visit Australia again. Hong Kong was the time of my life, and was absolutely incredible.
Thanks for sharing. It must be wonderful having a husband in real estate.
My partner and I bought our forever home in 2015. We love it. Best wishes from sunny Brisbane.
Your hair looks so nice Caroline x
Very interesting. X
Hi Caroline. Lovely to hear you reminisce about your homes. Very interesting. On a personal note and please don’t take offence, it is concern. Perhaps it’s the lighting, but you look very tired. Hope that you are OK. x
I feel somewhat deprived 😂 I have moved once and I am 52. I moved out of my parents house at 24 and have lived in the same house ever since. We were lucky we were given some money and also saved money to move into a forever home. Looking back, part of me wishes we had pushed ourselves to move to a bigger house but part of me is glad we have paid off our mortgage. We have no children so a 3 bed decent size house is more than enough for us but sometimes wish we had moved to the seaside or country.
Lovely trip down Memory Lane.
Wow your parents house looks lovely. They were brave to move into that house with a 4 yr old and a newborn esp if it needed lots of work done. Hope your mum finds somewhere just as nice.
Course I live tour miles from Pontypridd and my parents actually live in Pontypridd. My Mum was in school there with Tom Jones x
Loved, loved watching this video. You & Ashley have been very astute. Wish I'd have the same forethought. Still I'm happy in my present home a few miles up the road from you in Kingskerswell. Can you keep us up to date with how your renovations are going - if you've managed to find a builder!!! 👍🏻
Yes, of course - building work starts in Jan, I'll do a renovation series.
fantastic video caroline loved it you have had a wonderful life wereabout in spain was your apartment ?
It was in Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca

Hi Yvette, it's from Evans. Caroline tried it on in a recent haul. I'm tempted, too!!
