my parents have a meeting with their accountants so i've come to panera bread they've dropped me
off and i'm gonna do some work i've got a muffin here and an americano and i bought my laptop and
a book and everything even though their meetings like 30 minutes they'll probably be about an hour
i reckon i've gotten too many activities to do and i love it but i'm normally here with leah so
missingly at panera at the moment well guys we're back at winter garden we're on our favorite bike
ride of them all it's just so nice here this is literally where all of us would like to live if
we could um so many beautiful houses oh across the road nearly kill myself here so many lovely houses
it's always nice and sunny here it's funny to see how much it's changed over the last two and a half
years so many more houses have popped up look how beautiful this is i love the spanish moss
and these houses with the wood cladding or they make it look like wood i'm not sure if it is wood
um but they're just so beautiful there's some more over on this side
this is one of my favorite spots um they're all built around a lake
there's some lovely houses along here
so
my favorite house is coming up and i'll show you it ever since it was built
it's always been my favorite and it's getting slightly more established every time i come
view it but all of this was owned by a house that's hidden behind those trees i
can't remember what it's called but that is the only old house here and i think
it owned all this land but there you can see my favorite house just on the horizon
so this is my favorite house because it's pretty much got nearly 360 porch all the way around it's
all now planted up it looks amazing i haven't seen it for two and a half years so so nice
we're just stopping for a pepsi max break and um we've come down to where they're building
new houses or they were where they still are but mom and dad remember that they were building some
bigger houses at the front of the estate you've got the slightly smaller ones and um yeah they're
still going so this one's being finished off at the moment and these ones have a lovely view
of lake is it lake apopka hello popcorn this one's pretty much been finished off
very nice and as you can see the building more of the medium-sized houses over here
lovely but we're just gonna have a drink on this swing
right we've been cycling for over an hour and a half now on our way back um but still probably
40 minutes to go or something but i just remembered we've done this bike ride
for years ever since mom and dad bought the house like six years ago
and one time me and luke had sit down bikes we sort of lay back and pedal
and we finished the trail in like two three hours and got to the end and luke didn't have his phone
and he realized that it probably fallen out of his pocket because we were on proper sit-down bikes
hello oh chickens fun i love chickens um anyway so and at that stage uh luke was quite disabled
because he just had an illness was recovering from it so um ben and dad decided to cycle the whole
entire trail again looking for luke's phone they never found it so ben and dad that day
did about i don't know hours and hours of cycling um i didn't go with them of course
not but that was before i was into fitness that was when i was quite overweight so i probably
couldn't have done it even if i wanted to anyway we're going to sit down for a second little drink
oh that house is nice i love the black and white ones with black windows and white walls
yeah we're gonna go find a little bench opposite one of our favorite houses i keep saying that
this is my favorite house this is my favorite house but there's a lovely one down here um
i made friends with the dog one time i should probably go that way around the roundabout but
i'm a risk taker i think it might be down here yes i think it is look at this big water tower
so cool here it is and they've painted it it used to be sort of a yellowy color
and now it's white i mean it looks very nice still but interesting and i like that it's not
on a proper road it's on a gravel track i've lost mom and dad don't know where they are
we've come to crack a barrel for lunch so yeah i love it here
we're now on to our biscuits with jam it's our favorite thing ever
for us they're sweet and like well they taste a bit salty but
i would never want one of these drenched in gravy like americans seem to like them
i mean i'm sure they're nice they're probably like dumplings but i much prefer it with jam
one of my favorite things is looking around the shop after
having food in cracker barrel there's some really cool stuff also really cringe stuff but love it
waiting for mum to pay thing i love about cracker barrel they've got their
rocking chairs that you can buy these are all for sale outdoors i'm just waiting here lovely
this one's 219. yeah this one says it's a heritage collection i think this one's all smooth
and this one's a bit not smooth so i think that's supposed to look
it's not smooth i like the wooden ones down there after a day out me and mum like to get dropped
off just by the gates so we can walk home and get our steps up for the day i'm like looking at the
nature seeing the sand cranes um and the lizards last time we walked here mum squashed a lizard
but she didn't mean to it just ran under her foot as she stepped down just so quick
they are but at least it provided food for the cranes yeah there's another little lizard
it's so nice coming back inside as soon as you've been outside the air con in here ah i was just
discussing with mum about living here both mum and dad say that they could easily live in florida
and i was saying i absolutely could not i would hate the climate to live here i love the climate
for a holiday when you're just here when you choose to be here but being stuck in florida
when it's literally tropical climate pretty much all year round i'd rather live if i was to live in
america i'd rather live somewhere like new england where you get the seasons where you get the nice
orangey trees in autumn the snow in winter and then a nice spring and then a hot summer
just like the proper seasons whereas florida doesn't really have seasons which i wouldn't like
anyway i brought these home from cracker barrel because i had some spare jams um so i don't
know what i'll use them for but i didn't want to waste them this is one of the magazines i'm really
enjoying being on holiday period living this is actually only the second issue i've had and i
think i'm on a trial with it but i think i'm gonna stick with it because i really really love it
um basically this morning i was looking at what was i looking at i was looking at orangeries and
extensions because lucy and i want to get a proper roof put on our kitchen at some stage because
any of you have been watching for a long time will know that ours is like a plastic roof
i just want to show you what i was thinking here we go so ours is basically like this our kitchen's
like stops there that our bathroom's in there and the kitchen comes down here um and at the moment
this is all wood and plastic and this is like the perfect thing so build the wall up because the
wall comes up to there and then it's plastic there as well so build the wall up have glass on top
instead of um plastic obviously make it a proper roof um because me and lucy really like the light
that it brings in and then turn this into like a patio door and some windows there it would just
be it wouldn't look like this with the table and chairs it wouldn't be a living room but it
would just be a nice way to make the kitchen nicer but obviously if i had a bigger house
something like that would be amazing or something like that but yeah i love this magazine we were
looking at magazines in publix and i cannot believe how expensive magazines are in the us
i know from the past where we've been to books a million and we've looked at books
books are super expensive in the us as well um magazines in the uk so this period living magazine
is four pounds 75 um which in dollars that's like six or seven dollars i looked at a similar
one there was one called like traditional home looked incredible really would like to buy it it
was 14.99 15 10 pounds more more than 10 pounds more than this so i was like absolutely not
why are american magazines so expensive i don't understand i've been doing a bit of gardening
today as well i'll just show you i planted all these plants years ago some have died
and been taken away we've then planted some new ones over the years anyway these are my
two grasses i did have three here but one died a few years ago so we took it out um basically
i've chopped out as much of the dead grass as possible because as you can see
the new grass is growing in the middle so i want it to get enough sun so i've been chopping them
when me and leah came these were lovely and alive and then just a few months later they're dead so
hopefully when i next come back they'll be alive and kicking over here my little palm tree is not
doing well at all and i don't really know how to help it and this is my fire and ice hibiscus
that i planted until this morning it was up to here but as you can see the remnants
it was all dead wood got off so much but as you can see growing on some of the dead wood
just proves it's not dead actually there's new shoots so hopefully again by the time i come
back in september that'll be a big bush again um again don't know why it died when me and leah came
in november it was huge and then now in april it's died and regrowing but yeah to be honest
i'm not much of a gardener anyway but even less so in florida i feel like i don't really know
how to keep flying the plants alive we're having dinner in tonight and dad has made our favorite
salad ever isn't it mum in america a beautiful cobb salad with bacon chicken eggs blue cheese
is that cuban bread as well or is it just bread i think okay well either way thank you very much
this is like my 10th cobb salad excuse the shine oh my gosh i put after sun on today because i
got burnt in the sun on the last day i haven't been burnt the whole holiday so i've put aloe
vera on anyway we came for our last evening at celebration we've come to the town tavern which
is one of our favorite places but me and mom had a giant cobb salad which mum didn't even finish
and dad had the meatloaf stack or something oh we're parked over there
um but that is our last meal of the holiday and sadly that concludes the florida vlogs
guys you know what i filmed more than i realized i thought i'd get about three videos max out of
what i filmed in florida and i managed to get five and the videos at least two of the videos
are like 20 minutes long so yeah quite proud of myself considering it was a holiday supposed to be
relaxing but i managed to get five videos out of it which is great anyway i hope you really enjoyed
those videos let me know what you enjoyed what you want to see more of and stuff like that because
if you guys really enjoy seeing me out and about from the house or do you like the diy videos do
you like the mix of both what do you want to see because i'm always up for improving the viewer
experience do you know what i mean anyway thank you guys just a quick note to say that if you
are interested in channel memberships i have them available on this channel where you can get extra
members only videos and members only live streams which are really really fun and i actually just
did one you'll be seeing this on a sunday so i actually did one yesterday on saturday um
but you can when you become a member you can go back through all the old live streams all of the
other members only videos but yeah it's definitely worth considering if you want more content from me
