When She Goes To The Tree And Gets The Conkers ❤😊She's Safe 👍 She's Not Going To Get Bit By Anything That Can Hurt Her😊❤🎉Good.
You have a couple of great daughters there,you should be very proud of them
Thank you so much!
You're certainly living the life . Beautiful place you have
@@ernestknoxknox7075 thank you! Very grateful and blessed!
New to the channel... I get intrigued by the experiences of overseas visitors, especially if they become residents. I often fulfil this curiosity watching 'American react' channels.
For a very long time I have also loved learning about and witnessing family dynamics, specifically on the approaches to child raising, from previous times in history albeit equally modern living and principles in a technological age, not forgetting all the cultures around the world...
I hear that American parents engage in roleplay and fantasy with their children more so than in Europe (Some what like dungeons and dragons I guess)... Is this something you guys have dabble in, or even yourselves as children..?
To finish, congrats on hitting over 1k subs. I look forward to seeing how this channel grows (and future YT side channels ;) (horses/cooking/animals/etc)), stay safe, keep smiling and peace. With luv, Sheffield UK whoot :D
Hello just to say you are a lovely family hope you enjoy your stay in the uk. Love and peace from Wolverhampton England
@@robertallmark248 Thank you for the warm welcome! Maybe we can visit your area of England sometime 🥰
@@haasfamfarm if you do check out St.peters Church Wolverhampton then find out who got married there also check out Sulgrave Manor. Love and peace from Wolverhampton England
It would be a good idea to give your clothes a shake to get rid of any bugs that may have got on your washing before putting them in your linen collector!
The best place we found for conker picking when I young was the grounds of the church where my grandmother used to live. We had to be the first there to get the best conkers. I used to soak mine in vinegar for a couple of minutes to make it really hard. I had the champion conker in my junior school. Good to know today's kids are keeping the tradition alive.
It wasn't until I watched 'In The Heat Of The Night' that I learned how to pronounce Arkansas.
@@PBSmusic so many have said that!
If you don't care for spiders, put a few conkers on your inside window sill. Apparently the spiders don't care for the smell of them.
I used to do this every year for my wife, and it seems to work.
Loving your channel thank you. I use to play conkers at school, its great fun. I don't think they're allowed to play it at schools anymore, deemed to dangerous sadly. Never did me or my school friends any harm. If we got hurt by one we just use to say ow and carry on🤷🏼♀️ There may be a video about the World Conker championship 🏆 you could watch, thats held every year.
@@carolharris8167 no way! There’s a world championship?! The kids are going crazy!
@@haasfamfarmThere is also a Shin-kicking Championship! LOL
@@monza1002000 seriously??
@@haasfamfarm Yes, sure you search on Google you will find it + the cheese rolling on Coopers Hill. We Brits are mad, ssssh though, keep it a secret!😊
@@haasfamfarm Yes, check Giogle, sure it will appear + the Cheese Rolling on Coopers Hill another Olympic Sport :-)
Scarlet really got me reminiscing my own childhood with those conkers. I always feel so nostalgic come then end of August/start of September when they’ve started to grow❤
We are just now learning all about them
put conkers in the corner of your rooms or on a window sill, keeps spiders away.
That’s what we have been told! Just one in each corner?
In theory...!!
@@haasfamfarm They work! Being a widow over a certain age I have no man to get rid of the spiders as I cower on the couch or bed nearby so I now always have conkers on the floor (just inside the door by the skirtingboard) and/or on the windowsill - and I cannot remember the last time I saw a spider scuttling across the floor! They are Horse Chestnuts but NOT the edible variety of chestnuts!!
Hello I’ve just discovered your channel. Beautiful home you have. I used to live in the countryside, up in Norfolk when I was growing up. We had dogs, sheep, some horses. I loved it. We then moved to Gibraltar as part of the forces, and now currently living in London.
Oh, I’m so glad to have met you! Do you miss the countryside?
@@haasfamfarm I definitely miss the countryside. London is so crowded. I’m in property, and I’ve noticed lot of Americans are moving here. I recently had a family from California viewing property and schools here in London. Scotland has many great properties also, with open spaces, beautiful countryside etc . But don’t tell anybody …🙂.
Fascinating channel. Keep up the good work👍
Hiya. One important thing about the Horse Chestnut/Conker. It is NOT the same as the Chestnut, as in 🎶"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire"🎶. Do NOT eat the Horse Chestnut, it is TOXIC. Stay safe. All the best to you.
@@Andy_U ❤️❤️❤️
Fun fact: When we were running low on ammunition in WW1. Children were sent out to gather conkers so we could use them to fight the Germans.
I'm not kidding - look it up!
Your videos are sooooo wholesome, your children are extremely bright. Loving it x Thank you for sharing. x
You are so kind! Please subscribe! Where are you in the UK? ❤️
Love the sheep. 🐑
Aren’t they wonderful? They are the best
If you feed the fox regularly you can get it to take food from your hand (as I have done). The sheep will be fine. The fox will steer clear of them. xx
Wow! Really? What do you feed them?
@@haasfamfarm It was getting dark and I was crossing a moor eating fish and chips. The fox saw me and just stopped. I crouched and offered him some of my fish. He ignored me, so I threw some towards him. He wove back and forth as if weighing me up, then finally crept closer and snaffled up the fish. After a few more visits he took meat out of my hand. When he wasn't there I would call him and he inevitably showed up(!). Good luck at making a friend of him. xx

Hello from up the road in Leamington Spa
Hello there! Nice to meet you! Please subscribe!
Have you ever heard of "The Open Book" . It is a book shop in Wigtown in Scotland, you can rent the apartment above it by the week and you get to run the nonprofit bookshop on the ground floor.
What, this is a thing?!?! We are supposed to go to Scotland in October. How do I sign up for this? Do you know the owners? 😘
@haasfamfarm no it's been going for a few years. Wigtown is Scotland's booktown, lots of second hand bookshops. Just search "The Open Book Wigtown ".
@haasfamfarm If you're going to Edinburgh you can have afternoon tea at the Signet Library on the Royal Mile, it's a real Library, tea and cake surrounded by books.
Training the kids to do the cooking... that's what we like to see. And the kids teaching you new words like loafness... now that's the good life.
The wood burner is pronounced

@@oopsdidItypethatoutloud I think this is my very favorite comment. I couldn’t agree more. 🥰
Aga ? Did you miss the last letter - it's not the "arg"!!
@brigidsingleton1596
If you speak out loud the G from GOT it ends with a glotal stop so the sound is longer. Try it, you might like it😊
@@oopsdidItypethatoutloud thank you!
@@brigidsingleton1596 AGA, as in The AGA Khan.
You should book a tour of Buckingham Palace and the Mews. See the art in the palace then the horses and carriages in the Mews.
We have SO MUCH to do and see. This is definitely on the list. Thanks for commenting. Anything else you consider a "must see"?
@@haasfamfarm Longleat - the firat safari park
Legoland
If you like fashion and art the Victoria and Albert museum.
Cadbury World
That’s a horse 🐎 chestnut not edible. (Aka- cooker tree)
But the chestnut tree which is a Different tree. The dogs love chestnuts picking them up from fallen trees.
hi guys im new to your channal great park ive been there in the past its very nice great vlog .how long you guys over here for .love from the uk😄
Thanks for subbing! Not quite sure but loving every minute!
I think you're 'living the dream,' there are many in the UK who'd 'kill' to be fortunate enough to live that idyll.
Thank you! Very blessed.
Foxes won't try to take sheep. Chickens are a different matter. Foxes love chicken. For line drying, look at the BBC weather on the Internet. You need to click on the individual hours to see, but there will be relative humidity, which is far more important than temperature for drying. Less than 60% is good, and a nice gusty wind will stop the clothes stiffening.
Couple of interesting places for day trips that aren't stately houses: Southwell Workhouse, a National Trust property in Southwell, Nottinghamshire. And, sticking with the poor... Back to Back Houses in Birmingham, also a National Trust property. I found these places fascinating... and slightly scary to see how the poor were treated back in the day.
Thanks for sharing! Will definitely try to go
@@haasfamfarm Hi, the Back to Backs in Birmingham are excellent. You get an entertaining and informative tour from very knowledgeable guides. Highly recommend!
Playing conkers was a tradition before they banned it on the playground due to health and safety 🙄 You must know how the game goes when you put on shoestring and see which opponent has the strongest conker by swinging and smashing your opponent’s Conker…I remember people used to try and cheat by soaking them in vinegar overnight unless im imagining that 🤔🤣
😂😂😂
HOW LONG YOU BEEN IN THE UK NOW?I'M 🇬🇧 SEEING YOUR IN A LOVLY LOOKING PART OF THE COUNTRY IT MUST BE IF YOU HAVE SHEEP ARE THEY YOUR LIVE STOCK OR DO YOU JUST KEEP A COUPLE AS PETS. AND DOGS IS IT JUST THE TWO YOUR IN LOVLY AREA FOR LONG WALKS.❤
Yes, they are our sheep ❤️
Yes Do Not Eat It❤😊🎉It Can Hurt You❤😊🎉
Starre, Do you know your fellow American UA-camrs living in England living quite 'near' you? @ Daydreamers Barn ? Jess and Chris make great family vlogs often with their teenagers😬
I just found them yesterday! I haven’t had time to watch a lot of videos. I didn’t realize they had kids. Where are they located?
@@haasfamfarm - Near RAF Lakenheath Suffolk, around 110 miles away (head East!)
Have your kids heard of the game conkers?
Sounds like they have!
@@DavidOrgan-t6k no, what is it?
@@haasfamfarm Common schoolyard game we all played when I was a kid. Collect Horse Chestnuts, shell them, pierce then through with an awl and thread a string through them. Object of the game is to take turns bashing each others conker with your own in an attempt to shatter it. Lots more explanation on the interweb ofc. Watch your knuckles! (Edited because apparently I can't spell 'through') (Edited again to add that, unlike chestnuts, you cannot eat conkers)
@@TukikoTroy definitely have to try this! Thank you!
