Leave our 21 yr old daughter here? London's not what we expected
Saison 1 · Épisode 234
vendredi 8 mai 2026 • Durée 49:16
We're in London. Where our 21-year-old daughter (now) desperately wants to live.
I can relate.
30 years ago, two Cornish country bumpkins (Brian and I) moved to London from the south of England.
We lasted 6 months before leaving.
Now, our British/Kiwi daughter has decided to do the same. She wants to stop travelling full-time with her family and live in London on her own. So we are here to settle her in.
London has changed. It is not what we thought. Here are some big changes that shocked us. So much so, we decided to walk through the East End of London and share them with you.
'Cause you're the best and we bladdy lav ya.

With love from a balmy cockney London, Liz and Brian xx

Brian and Liz, husband and wife, have rented their New Zealand home for another year so they can continue their nomadic lifestyle around the world.
Last week, we shared an awkward (but real) conversation about our conflicting opinions on whether we should return home to New Zealand to do the handover.
We finally reached a decision, and today we want to share it with you.
With all our love and gratitude from BC, Canada,
Kia Kaha,

We held off sharing this episode.
It's one of those uncomfortable (but real) conversations that married couples have when they need to get something sorted, but they can't seem to agree. These conversations usually happen in private. But. We strive to keep things real and remain honest with you on this podcast. So here we are.
Awkwardness and all.
Thank you for being part of this community. Of this journey. For making us feel brave enough to share not just the ups and the laughs and the funny stories, but the downs, the tears and the sweaty-palmed conversations.
Conversations like this one. We love you for it ❤️

Parenting Young Adult Kids: Here's What Happened Last Night
Saison 1 · Épisode 231
mardi 24 mars 2026 • Durée 01:05:17
Parenting kids in their twenties is wonderful, daunting, fabulous, worrying, easy, really, really hard, joyful, exhausting, confusing, a privilege, expensive, ageing and a joy.
We have been travelling the world as a family for a year. Next month, our kids will go their separate ways. Sonny will go to America, and Tess will live in London.
Last night, we had a task. To go out for the night and talk to our kids separately. To find out what's going on and ask how they feel.
Our results were poles apart.
Here's what happened.
We love you. Thank you for your gorgeous support.

Being stuck out in the middle of nowhere with a stranger.

The biggest American myth of all, and one that rocked these two (quite adventurous and brave) British New Zealanders.
