    I used to read a book+ a day but the last few years I haven't been reading as much but this vlog has made me want to start reading again. I have tons of unread books around but now I want to actually read them. I'm anti-kindle because I love folding the corners of the pages as a bookmark

    Hi Ethan. I have been to Italy 🇮🇹, I went to Milan in 2016. I went dragon boating, took lots of photographs and did not get sunburnt! I’m glad you enjoyed your trip to Italy!

    Books usually but kindle for holidays, and I always fold the pages over! I wish I could remember to use a bookmark but I can’t! I made a bookmark for my dad at school when I was 4, he died when I was 38 and it was in the book he was reading ❤️❤️❤️

    • @chickennuggetsbg

    @margaretmurray9606 6 років тому

    I love your videos this one was fab! Loved seeing your lovely normal family holiday with your lovely children. I refused to get a kindle for years I read all the time and eventually my husband bought me one. I can honestly say it has been a game changer. No more worrying about weight on holiday. No more sore arms in bed or worrying about a giant book falling on my face when I lose my grip lol!! Nothing beats the feel of a real book but kindles are brilliant - does cost me a fortune though as it’s too easy to just click the buy now button for instant access xxx

  • @sarahfenwick3635
    @sarahfenwick3635 6 років тому +1

    Definitely books, I’m obsessed with reading at the moment.. I loved Eleanor so much, hope you enjoyed it ☺️ ohhhhh and I loved The Cows too absolutely hilarious 😉

    I have the Eleanor ophilant book waiting too come on my next holiday with me...... Sardinia look great I never would have thought about going there but might check it out. Love you honest a true family vlogs you always make me chuckle.

  • @amymorey5103
    @amymorey5103 6 років тому +1

    Kindle! Read too quickly, so going on holiday used to be a nightmare taking like 5 physical books away. This way I can have as many books as I want! One longer holiday I finished like 5 and was able to find wifi and download 5 more! Use the app on my iPad rather than an actual kindle though - easier to find and search etc

  • @EmmaLou78
    @EmmaLou78 6 років тому +1

    LOVE books & thought Eleanor & The break were amazing too. Read Dawn Porter Goose and didn't really like it so never bought Cows. I did have a kindle but when it broke I didn't replace it. Books are my favourite but kindle ebooks are a lot blooming cheaper.
    Can't believe how quiet the resort looked and how grown up Erin seemed. The sailing, kayaking etc looked amazing!
    Hope you are ok my lovely not sure if your awful trolling happened before or after this trip but you seemed a little flatter than normal. Hope you are OK and enjoyed your family time. Lovely to see more of Stephen too. You have an amazing family. Xx

    @kvf710 6 років тому +5

    You know how when you’re eating a meal, you save the best bite for last because you want to end on a satisfying note? I just realized I do that with your videos. When I haven’t been on UA-cam for a couple of days and I have several different videos to catch up on, I save yours for last.

    What a brill video :) your kiddos are the cutest and looks like they had a brill time, loved all the water and disco fun xx
    I've got a kindle, handy for travelling and middle of night when you can't sleep, but I do love an old skool book, they deffo look prettier on the shelf :)

  • @AnnaLena927
    @AnnaLena927 6 років тому

    I've got a kindle but I only use it when I go away and don't want to carry the weight of books - nothing beats the smell of a new book, the sound of turning the pages and being able to flip to the last page quickly!

  • @uknikki84
    @uknikki84 6 років тому

    Kindle! I had damage to my vision in my early 20s and so being able to change the font size is amazing! Also love that it takes up so little room in my bag xx

    Hi Ethan! I have been to Italy! I went last year to Pisa (the leaning tower is so COOL!), Rome (the Colosseum is HUGE!), and Florence (where there are open sewers & they are stinky!!!)
    Loved it.

  • @iheartrealitytv

  • @laurathomas8589
    @laurathomas8589 6 років тому

    Defo a book girl too, cannot beat the smell and feel of a book. Especially at the end of your holiday when it’s all scrumpled and covered in sun cream. I have been to Rome and Pisa but Sardinia looks beautiful xx

  • @beckycowen1976
    @beckycowen1976 6 років тому +1

    Lol great vlog! My husband when I first met him years ago was reading ian bothams autobiography and I think he's still reading it 20 years later, he's not a book lover like me😁 I love Elinour oliphant read that in a day it was fabulous! We were in Italy in May we loved it!

  • @travelkidsfamily2742
    @travelkidsfamily2742 6 років тому +2

    I’m a kindle convert. I love the smell and feel of books, but they take up way too much room in my suitcase when we go away.. I read more ‘proper’ books when I am at home.

  • @claregrubb3484
    @claregrubb3484 6 років тому +1

    I don’t do Kindles! You have to have an actual book that you can fold the corner to save your page! Love a library and smell of books (that maybe weird but weird is fine by me)!

  • @Emmag265

    @originalindiechick7999 6 років тому +1

    Ace video!! The place looked so beautiful. 😍The kids seemed entertained so well. I have a kindle, but it's gathering dust because I love holding a book in my hand to read. Kindles are handy for travelling but that's about it. I'm old-school! 😉xx

    I know this is late but Raki (Greek alcoholic spirit) is a great mosquito repellent. It's cheap too, I fill up one of those travel spray bottles and use that rather than the actual mosquito repellants and it works a treat!

  • @jadekenyon2127
    @jadekenyon2127 6 років тому +1

    Bit of both! I wouldn't have bought a kindle myself, but it was a gift so I use it lots. There are some books I like to hold, Harry potter for example! (But I too am a page folder! 😱)

  • @elizawood3065
    @elizawood3065 6 років тому +2

    Try Avon Original Dry oil spray. It moisturises but also is a natural insect repellent. Apparently the army use it when abroad. It smells amazing as well.

  • @63Littlemouse
    @63Littlemouse 6 років тому +1

    Eleanor Oliphant a cracking read, I just finished "Why Mummy Drinks" By Gill Sims a funny easy read for the Summer. I love a book, but since got new specs the words jump around the page so have resorted to audio via my phone & I love it. Fab holiday vlog Emma xx

  • @TinkleUK
    @TinkleUK 6 років тому

    I’ve actually come to love a kindle. Books easy to hand at a click of a button. Always in my handbag so I can read when I want. Saves heavy packing and chasing for the pages around the pool as the sun has melted the spine. I’d get the kindle white with the light so you can read when the natural light is low. The thing I dislike about the kindle is I cannot put the in order of to read and read. I have about 90 books on there and I’m easily confused.
    Yes I’ve been to Italy. 😁
