    Well definitely a bit of Thelma & Louise there. Fabulous video, and I think a good, frugal trip. Emotional at the end, but well done girls. ❤️❤️

For this video we took a bit of an indirect route but up to our UK house which is a few miles from Tamworth in the UK we normally do it in 2 and a half days.

    U tube is not notifying me when you put your video out even though I'm subscribed, I don't know why.

    • @CasaBlueHills
      @CasaBlueHills  17 днів тому +2

      @mariatajes9054 First of all, thank you very much for subscribing x When a person uploads a video you get a choice of alerting subscribers, or just putting the video into UA-cam's general pile. For the first 8 or so videos we released, we published them to subscribers, but only about a quarter of subscribers watched the videos. If only a few of a channel's subscribers choose to watch the video, UA-cam works out that the video isn't very good so it doesn't suggest it to anyone else. So for the 2 most recent videos, the Christmas one and the Finishing Projects video, I didn't publish them to subscribers, and they have got the most views so far. As this Journey video was a bit different and not about me and Rob doing renovation, I thought subscribers might not find it as interesting l,so I didn't publish it to subscribers. If you follow us on Instagram, from now on we will put an alert of when we release new videos. Also for all the videos which are us two doing renovation we will release that to subscribers from now on! Hope that explains it😊😊
