Episode 1: Can you believe this is the UK?!⛱️ I recently realised that I have been neglecting my own home - a place with so much beauty to explore, so l'm on a mission to see more of the UK's incredible spots, in an attempt to fall in love with my home again, AND to show others what amazing places lie on our doorstep. Hope you enjoy this new series✨ #uk #uktravel #cornwall #cornwalltiktok #cornwallbeach #pednvounder #beachvibes #discoveruk #outdoorlife

Episode 8: We're moving from Amsterdam to the Cotswolds!🌾🚚✨ Part 1 of the moving day - we packed up our apartment into a moving van and drove to the Hook of Holland to catch our ferry back to England. We used Oscar.nl for the van rental which we picked up in Zwanenburg (5 mins by train from Amsterdam) - the service was perfect and so smooth, I would really recommend this company!🤏🏼 Let me know if you have any questions about the move so far and I will answer in the comments. Part 2 coming soon💕

Episode 9: Part 2 moving from Amsterdam to the Costwolds!🌳 Continuing our journey, we took the overnight ferry from the Hook of Holland with @stenalineukie @stenalinenederland - the journey was super smooth and we arrived into the UK at around 6am. The return ferry journey cost us £525 total (2 people, 1 vehicle). From there, we dropped our furniture and used Big Yellow storage for this! Really great service and plenty of space for all our things. Many of you guessed it though - unfortunately we still had to drive the van back to the Netherlands to return it, which was probably the worst part of the journey for me. In saying that, we are super happy we saved so much money and made the effort to move ourselves, it was kind of an adventure on its own da Once we caught the overnight ferry back to NL, we then flew home with @klm - we also drove our car to Heathrow airport so we could easily drive home from there after our flight landed. I didn't vlog any of the return journey because I was bloody exhausted from all the travelling and moving, but you get the idea! Any questions again please let me know, I realise there's a lot of logistics here but I hope it's helpful for anyone of thinking of moving to a different country themselves - it can be done and it can save you so much money 💸

These last few days have felt a little surreal. To think for the last year I've been dreaming and hoping for this moment, and it's finally arrived. I'm trying to bask in the joy of it all for as long as possible, it feels like such a special time for us. Finding this house I feel was meant to be, when I originally enquired the estate agent told me it was unavailable as they'd received many applications already, so they weren't accepting anymore, I said to them please are you sure it's not possible, and she said she would contact me if anything changed. A few days later I received an email saying the house could be viewed, so l immediately went to see it and we made an application within a couple of days and got accepted. I could've accepted the first no and moved on, but I'm so glad I was persistent, because I don't think there's much more we can ask for with this house. I feel so safe and calm here, it has such a beautiful feel to it and I can't wait to show you more. Thank you so much for coming along on our moving journey, I know it's been a long one. I've decided to bring 'Finding Home Again’ because I think we did it, we found home again💌 #movinghouse #movingday #cotswolds #cotswoldslife #cotswoldsinspired #cotswoldsviews #cotswoldsvillage #uk #uklife #countryside #countrysidelife
