Thank you so mush for watching and subscribing 💕🌻 In this vlog I shared that my happy place reminds me of Florida. Comment something that reminds you of your happy space when you can't physically be there!

Your smile is so warm it could heat a thousand homes. Glad that you seem happy and content with life

The Range is a trap I tell you. You literally can't just go in for one thing. Glad you've settled and having a lovely time here.

I'm so glad to hear that you are enjoying England! I completely understand work feelings spilling into other areas of life. Also, loving the coastal theme.🙂

I want to move to the UK and this just motivates me to take that leap to do so

You do look happy and relaxed, I am glad that you are enjoying your life here with us.

"Just know that the work that you're doing will prepare you for that next chapter in your life... your work will not be in vain." Thank you for that! Your video was recommended to me and I'm so glad b/c this is just what I needed to hear. I am from NYC. I just graduated with 2 bachelor's degrees (Early Childhood Education & English Lit). In NYC, teachers have to obtain a MA degree within 5 yrs so I was like okay, I'm going to take summer off and in the fall work as a teaching assistant by day while doing classes at night for the Master's class . I got the job in June to start in Sept. Then, AFTER being accepted into the program and paying for my classes, they tell us we need 3 yrs as full-time head teachers to graduate. So we can take the classes but cannot graduate without those 3 yrs. My dad is from Surrey, I've never been but I've always dreamt of moving to England. It feels like that dream is getting pushed further and further back and I'll never be done with American schooling and hustle culture. For now, I'm thinking maybe I'll find a way to use summers to visit England, maybe even volunteer or do short-term work within teaching. Whew, that was a lot! Thank you for sharing your experiences. Have a great day! :)

Hey Diamond I subbed and have been watching all your videos. I think it’s because I like your attitude so much. Really pleased you’re happy here.

Sweetheart what a smile you have please never ever stop smiling I hope you find nothing but happiness and love at your new home ...x

Got the same picture you have in your bathroom , i live on the North East Coast my little bungalow has a relaxing seaside theme love your new purchases

Your view of England is what I imagined it to be. I'm moving there and just seeing this video was reassuring of the pleasantries ahead♥️

So sweet , glad that you are enjoying England and life

Amazing video Diamond! Glad to see you're enjoying being there. We miss you here in Georgia. Sending love and light your way.

Im happy you’re much happier ✨❤️

Hi ya, and welcome to you and your family. I actually moved to London 14yrs ago from Atlanta, Ga. I was fortunate enough to do an inter-company transfer but it has definitely become home for me. Like you guys I like to travel and the easy proximity to the rest of Europe even by EuroStar is brilliant. Enjoy Cheers

I haven't really started watching your video, but you seem very glamorous and glad to have you here. Hope you are enjoying your life.

Love your post .Sis 💕Keep yourself happy !

You seem like such a lovely lassie. America's loss is our gain.

I really enjoyed this vlog. My happy place is the beach or just seeing the water. It is one of the reasons why I love living in The Bahamas. I literally am near a beach in a matter of minutes. I appreciate your encouragement about things we can do to make us a bit happier.

Welcome to England! Have an amazing time! I hope you get to see some other places here, it is a beautiful country! Enjoy

You are a ray of sunshine!

I am loving your house!! It’s so cute! 💗

Interesting video welcome to the wonderful world of the UK 🇬🇧.)))) 😀

You picked such cute things. You were what I am supposed to see. Making plans to move to the UK myself.will be selling my home soon lots to do.

I am obsessed with the way you decorated your place!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi I'm a new Subscriber , welcome to England you have a lovely family your always welcome here in the uk.

Just come across your channel and love it. Welcome to the UK I hope you and your family have a wonderful experience whilst you are here. If you get the opportunity come to Norfolk, it's a great county and Norwich is a beautiful (or "bootiful" in our dialect) city. x

Are you sure that picture is level 🤔. I just love the silliness of you running after the balloon 🎈.😊

Love that black and white decor.

I loved this video! Made me feel good 😀

You're house is looking amazing. You have a good eye.

New sub, lovely family. It’s good to see your family is settling in over here. I was hoping you was going to be running after the ice cream van 🍦 instead of a balloon 😂

England is so beautiful country.

Nice sharing. Enjoy your new place. 👍

really glad you settled in well :)))))))))))))))))))))

First of all let me start by saying I love your videos. I am a 55 year old woman truly thinking about visiting England for starters next year and maybe moving there if things seem right. I feel like I am at a point in my job where I am very unhappy and just trying to see where my next journey will take me!!

Thank for sharing, have a nice weekend

Enjoy your life in the UK.

Hey Diamond, I just subscribed. Happy to be here for your vids and your journey. Please do or recommend a vid about how YOU were able to move to England job or schoolwise.

I know you have been hear a while now but Welcome to the UK :-)

Firstly, welcome to England. Secondly, you’re so beautiful!

Welcome to England!

Welcome to England lovely

A little tip. Never put a nail in line with wall lights, you may hit the cable!

You have good taste when it comes to decorations ect,

Welcome to England.

Store with cute merchandise always get me. Go in for 1 thing, come out with 15 bags😩🤣

We'll see how long you'll stay, be four you get home sick, the only good thing is free medical, I moved from England in 1972,to the US, and like it better, my other family member stayed, but are always coming down to shop, I don't go up that much, because I have a lot to keep me gronded, take the time when you can to see the rest of the other countries, around they all has a different vibe.but don't give up your self, be your self always!

That was some great picture hanging 🤣...is it still up? 🤷🙃🤣

Diamond: Don't judge me, I was supposed to go in to buy 2 things... British viewers thinking: We know you've bought half the shop! *Camera peers at all the stuff* British viewers: Knew it. She is hereby declared a Brit!

I personally dislike living in the uk and am myself a self employed person living in a seaside resort in the north of England but a lot of uk people have different opinions depending upon there experiences and situation eg a person living in the city who has a good job and too preoccupied with it might think differently or the wealthy like the politicians and the royals . But personally I feel the only real positives about living here are the royal family , free nhs (which we have to pay for in our taxes anyways ) , and the economy, employment and education even though where I live there isn’t much of that . But for most it’s getting generally very hard for the young to find cheap housing , education is very expensive as your paying over £40k in student loans for a degree ,food prices and inflation are rising rapidly, a government who is full of promises who’s hardly delivering and isn’t really focused on the people but keeping themselves in power and concentrating on legally lining there own pockets and there’s a lot of inter party conflicts and dismissal , cost of renting has gone sky high , a lot of people can be quite unsociable if your a stranger and a lot of people are weary of each other and there are a lot of social and health issues , isolation and depression - overburdened nhs and long waiting times . The crime rate is fairly high in some parts . Some of the place looks gloomy - rundown shops and old houses , factories , warehouses and a lot of pollution including the air, water and all the chemicals in our overprocessed food - we are one of the most unhealthiest countries in Europe. Loads of homeless and people living in poverty looking to food banks , immigrants - brexit was supposed to have helped but it hardly hasn’t which was about the only distinctive thing the conservatives managed to achieve for us in the last 30 odd years and where I live there are large hotels housing these immigrants whilst the local council ignores the English homeless and druggies and prostitutes and other groups on the fringes of society that are living on the streets just outside . We also aren’t in with the euro like the rest of Europe so it costs more to go on holidays and the hassle of conversion and other problems it brings such as having to pay extra on buying goods from abroad as well as the problems this caused our businesses . Yeah we have the freedom to criticise the government at least which we do a lot of but we wouldn’t have to criticise the government in the first place if we had a good one . But a lot of it for me is the weather- most of the time in England the weather is crap especially in the north where I live - I work from home so because I don’t have loads of friends and family I like to go outdoors a lot to exercise and get fresh air to reduce the boredom of being inside but most the time the weather is gloomy eg it’s like I wanted to go for a long walk the other day and it was p***** it down all day for two days in a row and it’s mid summer - then we get tons of windy cloudy miserable days were it’s hard to motivate yourself to even leave the house - the weathers so unpredictable in the uk as well and you never know how it’s going to behave from one moment to another and that’s just summer - then there’s winter - freezing , raining, windy , Ice, cloudy , and where I live it starts geting dark very early and in mid winter it starts getting dark by 1pm and it can be dark as early as 3pm- and it’s almost as bad as this for almost half the year and it’s so depressing . And then when you eventually get a good day but because you’ve been so depressed having been stuck inside because of the bad weather you find it hard to motivate yourself to go outside and you’ll find you need a car a lot of the time especially in winter but it is a bit warmer in the south if your lucky enough to live there or can afford to live there but it’s not much warmer there either and there can be flooding in some parts . Then there’s all the heating bills you have to pay just to keep your house warm most of the year . Then when you do go outside your breathing in all the crap air full of pollutants so your probably doing yourself more harm than good and especially a lot of the beaches are polluted and the water is freezing and a lot of the food is highly processed and a lot of people are in poor health . I hate the UK- it’s just a small crappy post industrial island . I mean there are worst places in the world and other countries have there own problems but it wouldn’t be a bad place if the weather was better and the days were longer in winter as our economy is quite good and there are some interesting places to visit and there are things to do eg night clubs , bars, theatres , theme parks, cinema , beaches, countryside, large city centres and shopping , parks etc but when the weathers bad they are not that appealing . I personally wouldn’t recommend people come to live here if they have good weather and standard of living in there own country unless they are from a poor country with little prospects and not even for a holiday unless you want to visit a few of places worth visiting that have some cultural heritage like London inc Westminster or oxford or a warmer seaside resort like Cornwall - don’t bother with the rest . That’s why a lot of people move abroad from here which is what am going to do soon and am sure I’ll never look back .

Welcome to the UK. I live in York. Its a very beautiful city.. think Harry Potter 🤔 you must visit xx

Nice one!!!

Ma'am how are you getting on with driving on the correct (left) side of the road? I am interested to hear.

How long did it take you to drive on opposite side of the road everything in reserve when I went to USA motorbike riders with no helmet I just started at them 🚜🚜🚜🚜

Did you buy a left-hand drive car? Isn’t that difficult at times?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻☀️☀️

Why the apostrophes, in the days of the week?

Salted caramel popcorn a necessity? Very nice though.

You seem like a delightful person. At the risk of getting negative comments from others, I'd just like to point out that generally using the letter S to make a word plural doesn't need an apostrophe. You did that with the weekdays and a lot of people do have this minor misunderstanding. It's known as the grocer's apostrophe e.g. apple's. The apostrophe is almost always inserted before an S to indicate ownership, or belonging to. The major exception to this rule is it's, meaning it is. So therefore its without the apostrophe is understood as belonging to it. The other very common error is your when really it should be you're, as a brief way of saying you are.

What county are you in, whats your nearest big Town or city?

Hi Diamond. I've just started watching your vlog, for the first time. One thing strikes me right off (and I say this to all British people too..) - unless you're there because you're very rich and maybe enjoy the relative emptiness of the shop.. don't buy your food at Marks and Spencer - it's a rip-off. :)

Are you going to apply for full British Citizenship?

Have u found a good church group and made friends by now as well?

This is interesting. Most Americans are trying to move to Florida for tax purposes. Ok, Georgia, yeah, I'd want to roll out too. The south does that to black folk. I lived in Seattle for almost four years and not one black friend I told in Seattle thought it was a good idea for me to go back to the east coast much less the south. Yeah, try to live your best years in the UK, to start. There may be more travel that's much better, who knows.

Saturdays, not Saturday's. No apostrophe needed in the plural.

So preety

An L.H. drive car ?.

If you are going to be a teacher in the UK, get ready to be unhappy again, sorry to burst your bubble.

Hey! I'm a US ex-pat too! (We live in Israel). I love following ex-pats and hearing about your experiences. The following is another vlogger, an ex-pat from Alabama (I think) who lives in England: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ea52arRjnamwXX0.html. Best of luck to both of you.

Hope you are still enjoying life in England. But, please look at the lense and not yourself, otherwise it looks like you're more interested in yourself than connecting with your audience.
