Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's former Cotswolds home has been plagued with fresh flooding again, months after the couple put it on the market and relocated to higher grounds.
The couple is understood to be plotting a move back to the U.S. as they miss their friends and loved ones, and cannot afford to live through another British winter.
This comes after Ellen DeGeneres opted for a new life abroad following allegations she fostered a toxic workplace on her cancelled eponymous show.
DeGeneres and her wife, de Rossi, are still struggling to offload their former Cotswolds mansion, five months after they placed it up for sale.
-snip-
The couple is reportedly planning to make their way back to the U.S. because of the extremely low temperatures British winters come with.
When they first ditched the U.S. for life across the pond, DeGeneres and de Rossi sounded like they were never coming back in the near future, especially as they allegedly cited the political climate of the country following President Donald Trump's win at the polls.
However, reports claim they're now looking to return to California because they "miss their friends" and are looking to reunite with them during the holiday season, as well as the fact that they can't afford to live through another Cotswolds winter.

From what I’ve heard that doesn’t hardly say it.
Whatvi heard is people that worked for her say she was an insufferable monster that had the nasty habit of berating and demeaning her subordinates for little or no reason.
They SHOULD just do that.
Most likely.
> When I saw that picture I honestly thought it was King Charles. <
Hmm…. you might be on to something. Because I’ve never seen DeGeneres and Charlie together in the same picture.
🤔
So is Afghanistan.
It was just a stupid stunt
At all.
President Trump needs to bring her return up at every opportunity, just rip her to shreds with his classic loser language. She deserves it and it would scare any other celebrities from being so politically vocal. Perhaps a few memes about her on their social.
Too stupid to realize when you are considering moving somewhere, go there in the bad season BEFORE you move.
So the point of this fiasco was to show the world that its better to move another country than to live in the awful America of Donald Trump. So what’s changed? DJT is still president, so move to a different third-world country. If you really believe DJT is ruining your life, why come back? I would tell her, now she has no room to complain since she voluntarily returned.
full UK article that yahoo stole CLAIMS they can’t take [afford] the british winters ...
which is totally laughable:
The Cotswolds (administratively mostly within Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, and parts of Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire, and Somerset) have typical southern/central England winters – mild compared to most of Europe or North America, but damp, grey, and often feeling colder than the thermometer suggests because of high humidity and wind chill.
Here’s what you can expect from December to February:Temperature:
Average daytime highs: 6–8 °C (43–46 °F)
Average nighttime lows: 1–3 °C (34–37 °F)
Hard frosts (below –5 °C / 23 °F) are uncommon but do happen a few times most winters, especially in the more exposed northern and eastern parts (around Chipping Norton, Stow-on-the-Wold, etc.).
Prolonged cold waves that keep temperatures below freezing all day are rare (maybe once every 5–10 years).
Snow:Light dustings or a few centimetres are fairly common (a couple of times most winters), especially on higher ground (Cleeve Hill, Broadway Tower, etc.).
Settled snow cover that lasts more than a day or two is unusual in the valleys; on the escarpment it can last 3–7 days during colder spells.
Major disruptive snow events (10–20 cm+) happen roughly once every 5–7 years (e.g. 2010, 2018, 2021).
Rain & grey skies:This is the dominant feature. December and January are among the wettest and dullest months (only about 50–60 hours of sunshine per month on average).
Drizzle, low cloud, and fog in the valleys are very frequent. The classic “misty Cotswolds” look you see in photos is basically winter reality.
Wind & wind chill:Exposed hilltop villages (Stow, Bourton-on-the-Hill, the Slaughters in windy spells) can feel raw when a westerly or northerly wind blows.
Regional micro-variations:Lower western valleys (around Stroud, Tetbury, Cirencester) are slightly milder and wetter.
Higher eastern/northern Cotswolds (Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh, Blockley) are a degree or two colder and a bit more likely to see snow lie.
In summary:
Winters in the Cotswolds are mild, damp, and grey rather than severely cold. Proper snowy “Christmas-card” scenes do happen, but most of the time it’s 4 °C, overcast, and drizzling. Pack waterproofs, warm layers, and wellies more than heavy Arctic gear. Many people actually prefer visiting in winter because the crowds are gone and the stone villages look atmospheric in the mist (if you don’t mind the gloom).
Is England really that cold, or did she expect it to be like Southern California?
It doesn’t seem a lot of planning and research went into this move...
No due diligence. Lifestyle appearance. We're in the Big House.
JMO, YMMV
Degeneres always looked like crap. If you look at her early tv work they keep the camera far away almost constantly and when it does get close her face looks very flat due to so much filler makeup. She apparently had those sunken skeletal eyes even then. And her baggy butt and saggy breasts (what little she has) were also prominent back in the 90s. At least thats what the lesbian at work said. Seems they’ve also turned on her. They consider her “running away” as backstabbing to their cause. When she comes back they will not embrace her.
“Can t they go stay with rosie?”

Those 3 living together would make a great sitcom or soap opera.
The show titles are infinite! lol!
Yes, “afford” is a strange word. Probably their mental health can’t afford another Cotswolds winter.
Winter days feature little daylight...and they’re cold,damp and dreary. Lots of rain but not too much snow in the south where most people live.
Sounds like Pacific Northwest.
