After 16 years of living abroad in New Zealand, husband and wife Liz and Brian returned to their home country, England, UK, for a four-month stay.
This week, the couple share a few more truths – the little things they’d forgotten about England. The things they know and love, and one thing in particular that took them by surprise in a huge way.
Liz and Brian also reveal where they are heading next on their year-long world trip, including how they are affording to pay for this mammoth trip…

After 16 years away, husband and wife Liz and Brian have returned to old Blighty, England, for a three-month stay.
Today, the couple reveal a few home truths, including misconceptions about England, how Britain compares to New Zealand, an in-your-face struggle they encountered at a café, and what they think will happen if their young adult children decide not to come home to New Zealand.
We know you’ll love this episode.
At the end of this week’s podcast, Liz also shares another reading from her soon-to-be-released book on grief, loss and healing. If you are struggling with any kind of loss, this book will help you. I will let you know as soon as it is available.

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…??!!)
We recorded this week’s marriage diary podcast on location under the famous Sycamore Tree in Bampton, the real village of Downton Abbey. But it was harder than we thought.
Downton Abbey has become our family’s anchor, so when we found ourselves in the UK close to the location where many of the show’s outdoor scenes were filmed, we packed our microphones and set off to record a podcast.
While we were talking about why this show has become a lifeline for both our marriage and our family, a coachload of tourists turned up. I’ve never felt so awkward and self-conscious in my life. But Brian refused to stop filming.
So you will hear my awkwardness in all its glory…
After a year of loss and leaving our home in New Zealand, Liz and Brian, husband and wife, have been living out of suitcases, feeling nomadic and uncertain.
In this very raw episode, we talk about how binge-watching Downton Abbey has given our family a surprising sense of routine, safety, and connection as we travel the world and heal after loss.
We also open up about the expat’s identity crisis, what it’s like to not know where “home” is, and pushing through the fear of being seen when you’re grieving.
This is one of our most authentic and vulnerable conversations yet, and we hope you enjoy it.
Thank you for joining us, you are what make this happen.
There are many myths & misconceptions about the UK that get on our nerves.
Just a bit.
But because we are polite and British and would rather roll in cow poo than confront anyone about anything, we have saved them up and made a podcast about them.
Here are 8 of the most common misconceptions about life in the United Kingdom.
Enjoy!
