This Remembrance Sunday I'm grateful to attend a service in honour of those who fought for home and country. As we walked into the church I saw this memorial plaque which brings our remembrance to a personal and individual level. Leonard was someone's son, brother, neighbour, friend. 🏴💔

Happy Guy Fawkes Day! (Is that what you're supposed to say... is that a thing?) We arrived in Devon last night and had a delicious dinner at a place in Exeter called The Fat Pig.🐷 Today is my friend Emma's birthday, so we will be in a very festive mood. I was hoping to do a live stream from the adorable thatched cottage we are staying in, but the tree surgeons arrived at 9 AM and have been making a lot of noise with their chainsaws nonstop, so that's not happening 😩...
Hoping to livestream or at least film a few shorts later today. Definitely will be filming the flaming tar barrels in Ottery St Mary this evening!! 🔥

Last time I came to borough market I said I would never come back because it was too crowded and over touristed. But oh well, here I am! Drinking watermelon juice 😆

Last June, we went with Ian's cousin (who lives in Wales and raises sheep) to the livestock market to check out the ADORABLE Valais Blacknose sheep. Watch my one minute video summary here: youtube.com/shorts/1bidDdIAu8...

If you live in the UK, have you ever seen any of your neighbours decorate for Halloween? 🎃👻
And my neighborhood here in Texas, there is one house that always does something elaborate and creative every year. There's a different theme each year. Check out the attached photos. Impressive, huh?
