Looks like the move was the right thing to do - you're definitely looking a lot healthier and happier. Excellent!

Nice to see you're doing so well,Jen.

Hi Jen, I find your observations really interesting. It will be great to follow you on your journey as you gradually turn your house into the home you want it to be.

Glad you’re enjoying your new home. Christmas festival in Rochester starts at the end of November. It’s smaller than German equivalent but it’s still fun. Make sure you pop along one evening

I´m so glad for you! Take time to enjoy YOUR house now and give yourself time to make the changes you want. There is no hurry!

It looks like the move was the right choice, you seem so much happier :)

you are a true Londoner, lol "hurry up and get on with it." Love it

Ahhh I think we went to the same uni! I did see you once near it but was too shy to say hello haha but always wondered if it was there and it sounds like it is! Small world :’)

That dress goes really well with your hair colour. And I'm glad you find Rochester quiet and peaceful at night. When I lived in Gillingham (the Kent version, not the Suffolk or Dorset one) the foxes at night used to sound like they were torturing each other.

Thanks! It's a shirt :)

Is the accent different in Kent, are there any other slang words you already learned?What is the commute like, do you get a seat all the time, is it possible do use the travel time for uni stuff or are you too exhausted and happy to have a break?Thank you for this update! Wish you fun (and patience) with the work at the house!

A set of ladders , in my experience is a good investment for a home owner.. I was at first paying people, to clear the leaves out of the gutters ..... £60 a time . Now I do it myself (what a hero ! ) ...... The money saved has already paid for the ladders. Now I have a free set of ladders and save at least £60 a year. You can't sniff at that.

I'm glad it's quiet for you at night (no neighbour noise?).

Congrats!

Try keeping your "to do" lists short. You'll always feel accomplished. Long ones during my rebuild always made me feel like there was no end in sight. And give Tate an extra scratch under the chin and an encouraging word from his biggest fan in Houston, Texas...

I like that guitar on the wall is it a fender telecaster?

Hi Jen, As regards shop assistants and strangers engaging in London or elsewhere I find it's more of an an age thing. I find that people of sixty plus will often start chatting to you wherever you are, but the young never do, their heads are always either buried in a phone, or they just seem too shy to engage. Maybe young people are wary of strangers and old people are just lonely.

It's a individual thing I know many 60+ people who are not interested in others at all they are the baby boomers who got everything for nothing very selfish people.

How long is your commute to your work now - like from door to door? and what types of transportation besides train do you use to commute? And thank you for your video!

Hi, Jen, interesting video. It is often said that moving house is one of the most stressful things anyone does in their life so I'm glad you're positive and settling in and glad Tate is as well, it must have been very confusing for him. I think it takes a few months to get used to living in a new area. How do you find commuting and is it expensive? Looking forward to your next video soon.

I have a new neighbour just moved in, from London, but moved much further out than you, two things he has noticed most, the price of Beer, a pint costs £2.70, in a local social club, not the £7 he was paying, and how far it is to the nearest hospital, 25 miles, a lot further if specialist care is required.

£7!! Damn, where was he drinking 🤣

Shops may be a challenge but there should plenty of fresh produce about say in farmers markets.

Don't rush it as it will all fall into place.

Wow that is some move London to Kent must be all of oooh 38 miles.

Living in one of the Medway Towns, they are all served by any of the Major Supermarkets online shopping and delivery service, which makes life easy if you are a distance from one. Could you have done your Uni course with the OU, would have made life easier as you are also working. Just as well Tate is not a cat as he would have made his way back to your old place, He will settle in and become accustomed to other dogs, let him socialise with them under control.

I’ve lived in Kent all of my life, so some of these things are usual for me. Isn’t there any sushi in the supermarkets?

Britain and broken windows 😂 why is this such a problem . When I lived in London literally every window had issues . And let’s not talk about the fact that they are thin as a wine glass and literally let all the heat / cold in

Hi Jen, congratulations on your new home. How long is your commute to London now? I am moving to the UK in 2020, and trying to decide on a location that is not crazy expensive but not more than 1hr commute to London where I'll be working. Thanks

Thanks again and congratulations and I know how you feel wanting to get everything done like right now...lol. but take your time you own it and owning a home/property in the UK is a BIG accomplishment.

When I moved some years ago, our dog simply wouldn't come with us and we had to convince her.

I didn't know you played guitar. What's that one on the left, the Fender Tele style one? A great thing about living outside a big city is you can see the stars.

@@JenDre Ah, I see. Yes, it is convenient. Similar case is in my home town, Zagreb, Croatia, which is much smaller. Although, since I know the surroundings of Zagreb, it would be probably better to use administrative borders, since transport links are organized within administrative borders (in the case of Zagreb this can go outside of the ring). So, this would be, like the Grater London administrative borders. It is mostly inside of the ring, but in North Ockendon it even reaches outside of it, :) . kzread.info/dash/bejne/h3Wp1cSDnbWoYMY.html

I think London should be stripped of Capital Status as it no longer reflects the rest of the nation. It seems that people in their 30's leave because they finally see what the unbalance is and want a safe place to think about a family. The film/movie "Withnail and I" is a great film about the pressure of the circus. Been there and I have done that.
