    When Andrew said "All of her family really, really loved her. They thought of her as a genius, you could tell". Then, you say, "Which is more important anyway....". A beautiful moment right there ❤

    If I remember correctly the place you ate in at Oxford was what the original great hall in the Harry Potter series was used during some filming before they created it in the studio buildings. They used a number of places at Oxford to film and create the different areas of Hogwarts.

    Andrew, our family 1st fell in love with you when your mom made the month of pies. We looked forward how you expressed how the texture and taste of the pies were. We think you are very astute for we know for sure that you will make the best of everything you touch a success. Stay as kind and beautiful as your loving parents brought you up. Enjoy yourself in Africa.

    The opening was hilarious. We went to England when I was about 12 to pick up one of my older brothers from his mission. Before we picked him up, my dad drove and scraped the stuffed of the car when the bushes🤣🤣🤣🤣. So glad when my brother took over.
    I love Jane Austen as well. I need to go back to England as an adult. Is appreciate it more

    You`ll maybe think I`m crazy, but I was so choked up watching Andrew`s reactions, what an absolutely wonderful tailor-made trip for him! Also, being able to dine in Balliol college at Oxford is pretty special! This is my favourite of the graduation trips you`ve done! So happy for him to be able to do this, you`re amazing parents!

I live in the UK and was really hoping that I would maybe bump into you, sadly I was looking in the wrong places. I love seeing the progress of the house and get so excited to get a notification. I remember when the house was first brought and to see how much it's changed is so beautiful. I wish you all the best and can't wait for your next video.
