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.

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.
If you would like to show us some love, you can do so by leaving us a review wherever you listen to this podcast.
It would also be wonderful if you shared this episode with a friend who craves real-life, never-edited-or-filtered conversations.

Brian, Liz and their two adult kids are house-sitting in British Columbia, Canada, for three months.
Last week, they received a comment on their YouTube channel asking, “Where do you call home? ”
Today, they take you for a walk around their temporary Canadian neighbourhood and share their unscripted, vulnerable thoughts and feelings about Canada, New Zealand, leaving their kids, healing, and… a few other things I won’t write here.
Thank you. We love you, and we appreciate you more than you can imagine. Please don’t forget to subscribe and say hi in the comments ❤️

Last week, we received a comment on the podcast that said, “We would love to do what you are doing, but it seems too risky”.
In today’s episode, we would like to address that comment and share with you a few life lessons grief has taught us.
We would like to pass on the reason we travel the world, even though we still have a massive, big, fat mortgage.
This is why we do what we do. And this is how we do it.
We hope our words bring you clarity and inspiration.
We love you. Thank you for your support and your wonderful comments.
If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend who needs it, and please don’t forget to subscribe and leave us a review on whichever platform you listen to. It only takes a minute and helps us enormously ❤️
With all love and gentleness always,
our hearts beat with yours.
Kia Kaha, Liz and Brian xx.

Has anyone REALLY got their life together? Got it all sorted? We’ve been married for twenty-five years, and I know we haven’t.
This week, husband and wife Brian and Liz feel unsettled. As they walk the canals of Bath, they get real and honest about feeling uncertain about the future and share the times they’ve felt completely lost on their year-long nomadic family journey.
If you’ve ever felt like everyone else has their life together and you don’t then you will love this epiosde.
Get ready to hear four vulnerable stories: the panic of being asked to attend a local social gathering (where they purposely lied and tied themselves in knots), the worry that ruins a beautiful trip, the fear of admitting “I don’t know” to their own kids, and the small rituals they cling to when life feels uncertain.
Listen to this episode if you want to know:
-
How to handle questions from strangers about your life when you haven’t got a clue what you’re even doing
-
How to talk to your adult kids about financial struggles (AKA: NO. We can’t afford it)
-
Morning routine for when you feel anxious
- Us having abuse hurled at us by some random strangers on the Tow Path (see if you spot it…)
Thank you, as always, for being here with us. You are what makes this podcast so special.
My heart beats with yours.
Kia Kaha.
Liz and Brian x

it’s what you do in that place that will…
Feeling a little lost and wondering where “home” is, husband and wife Brian and Liz are back to take you along on a walking podcast, and this time, they’ve landed in a three-month rental just outside Bath.
In this deeply personal conversation, Liz shares why the view of an ancient church from her window is helping her write the book on grief she was always meant to write, and Brian opens up about the simple things that make him happy.
This is for anyone who has ever felt a little lost, is redefining “home” after a loss, or is simply wondering how to find pockets of light and purpose right where they are.
We hope you enjoy this raw, real, and uplifting walk through the beautiful English countryside with us (and sorry in advance for needing a loo break and also the marriage spats as we go on our merry way…how embarrassing…??!!)
Thank you, as always, for being here with us.
You are what makes this podcast so special.
