Those grey shoes are the BOMB! Very pretty outfit and sounds like great bargains
So sorry about your dad Caroline, time is a thief of so many good things. Glad you will have the memories always.
Hi Caroline, I was excited to see the video as we have a two night break booked on Burgh Island in November for my 60th birthday! It looks like everything I hoped. I am so sorry to hear about your dad and how his dementia has worsened during lockdown. Lack of social contact has a very debilitating impact on those with dementia, I can empathise as my mother really deteriorated when she had to stay home after a minor op on her leg. I hope you were able to enjoy your time together.
Two fabulous hotels, I really preferred the second one because of the beautiful beach setting, fabulous decor and great menu! Make the most of your time with your dad, and support your mum as she lives with the illness. It's good that you were all able to be together for that lovely break.
I just wanted to give you a big hug Caroline. Dementia is a horrible disease and after managing a home registered for dementia I know the awful impact it has on families. It does get to the stage when it is very distressing for the person to leave the home and be in unfamiliar surroundings. Your dad is lucky he has a loving family. What a lovely break you have had, Ashley makes me laugh. Xx
Such a lovely Staycation both the Hotels looked beautiful, I have never been to England makes me want to pack up and go Xxx
Morning Caroline, what a fabulous video, those hotels are just wow. If you're having a break that must be the one to for. Major cause of dry eye syndrome is antihistamines and blood pressure meds. Huge credit to you and your family for the your open and honest approach to dementia. I have so much admiration for your Mum and people like her who care for people with this cruel disease.
Caroline, dry eye will make your eyes run. I have it and I use Systane eye drops. A couple of drops in the morning and I'm good. You looked absolutely fabulous on your mini vacation! And what beautiful surroundings and hotel rooms. Perhaps one day I'll get to visit Boringdon Hall. Breathtaking. My heart goes out to you about your Dad. It is so difficult to see a parent deteriorate. Scary, heartbreaking, irritating, but mostly sad. Hoping your Mom has some assistance so that she can find respite some days. That would be so good for her. Thinking of you.
Wonderful, wonderful holiday you had. Beautiful scenery, and your brother I see has the same humour. My heart goes out to you and your family having to see your dad go through this terrible disease. My dads has escalated (pretty fast too) and now needs to go into an assisted living home. Looking forward to seeing you and Carla together again. xxx
I so deeply sympathize with you and your family to have to watch your Dad go through that horrible disease. My mom had dementia about 20 years ago, and then my brother developed Aphasia, another debilitating brain disease. It is so hard to watch our loved ones suffer through these types of diseases. My thoughts are with you. Thanks for sharing your wonderful getaway. It looked like beautiful places to be!
Thank you for showing us the beautiful places you stayed in Caroline, it was a treat. I would love to visit Boringdon Hall now so it's on my list. I so empathise with the running eyes problem, just another symptom of dreaded hayfever that I've had all summer too. You and Ashley look great. I love your sequined dress and shoes. Love from Ireland :)
Lovely.....thank you for sharing.....have missed you since.....hope all is well xxx
You and everything looked fabulous. Heart goes out to you and your family regarding your dad. Nice memories made over the break.
Oh Caroline loved your mini break ,loving thoughts to you for your Dad big hugs xx
Fantastic vlog! Loved the staycation hotels! Great filming of the highlights of those days.
So sad for all involved in regards to your father.
Great video really enjoyed looking at the diff places xxxx
Hi Caroline lovely vid ! Stunning hotels & fabulous views! Your outfits were gorgeous! Your lovely family looked fab too , your brother seems like he’s v funny ! So sorry to hear about your Dad, hope you are doing ok
Lovely to see your Vacation video, just lovely. What beautiful Hotels. Yes ,I agree,Dementia so so hard. My mum had it too. I so understand. Your mum is coping so well. Sending you all my best wishes xx
What a lovely trip, thanks for taking us along. You all looked very grand and the places were beautiful. Big hugs to you and your mum, my mum had dementia before she sadly passed and I understand all the feelings you talked about. It's such a horrible illness x
Boringdon Hall must be the most beautiful hotel I've ever seen! Modern hotels with huge luxury suites could never compete with that
Really enjoyed your vlog, your mini break away was lovely to watch, your outfits were very glamorous, Thank you for sharing, 🌺
What beautiful places!!!!
Thanks for taking us along!!!!
Ashley, as usual, is looking dapper!!!!
I love the music!!!!
What delightful hotels Caroline! I have dry eyes...they were really bad at onetime. My doctor now prescribes me Systane eye drops and recommends using warm eye masks. Be careful with the UD setting spray that could upset your eyes too. I cant even wear powder shadows any more. Lovely video. Diana
Thankyou for sharing, you looked gorgeous in your evening wear. Hilarious that I could hear Ashley splashing in the bath as you were talking 😂 love his new haircut too. Sounds like you had a lovely time, making precious memories with your dad. ❤
Looks like you all had a fab time. ❤️
Hi Caroline your break away with your family looked really nice the hotels and the views were so so beautiful also liked your aldi shopping haul thank you for sharing I really enjoyed it. Also I really like all your outfits. Bless your dad ❤
Hello, Caroline...great visit with you, as usual ;-)
I commented in the first upload that I had runny and gritty-feeling eyes several years ago and my ophthalmologist prescribed Restasis. I only had to be on it (it's eye drops) for a few months and haven't had the problem since.
Loved seeing the hotels. England is one of my destination choices one of these days, hopefully when masks are no longer required. Your videos are such a joy to watch. You share so much. Heartbreak regarding your Dad. Wishing you lovely days.
Looks like fab place. Also that gold dress is gorgeous on you. x
Hi again Caroline, I hadn't seen the latter part of your video when I sent the last message. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, and such a handsome man too. I so empathise with you. My mother has been bedridden for the past few months making Covid-19 extra difficult. I know the depth of emotion this triggers in us. So difficult to put into words, I agree x
Hallo Caroline, I was sorry to hear about your father’s dementia. My friend has dementia. She lives alone and going through the lockdown on her own, has really affected her dementia and she has gone downhill. It’s such a horrible thing.
I enjoyed seeing your holiday and it brought back memories for me. My daughter went to Dartington College of Arts and we spent a lot of time in the South Devon area. Boringdon Hall hotel really reminded me of Dartington Hall. It’s lovely there.
I also suffer with dry eyes. I was recommended to use Hycosan Extra eyedrops by my optician. Unfortunately they are quite expensive in Boots they are around £12 and on Amazon they range from £9.99 - £12. I have found a triple pack on eBay for £25 which cuts the price slightly. I have also become allergic to eye make-up - horror of horrors! However I have found a website which sells make-up for highly sensitive eyes called Butterflies Eye Care. They sell all sorts of products for dry eyes. It might be worth you having a look on there. Hope you have a good week.

Hi Caroline, I have severe dry eye and use the red Hylo Forte which Amazon sell. My hubby and I are hoping to go to Burgh Island next August for our 30th wedding anniversary so it was lovely to see how amazing it is. Love your vlogs, I am a fairly new subscriber and have a fair few already.
Thank you so much, Caroline, for the lovely getaway video. I enjoyed it so much. The couple dancing in the dark outside was a little slice of magic. Just loved it. I burst out laughing with your comment about pouring the disinfectant down your throat and sent up a little prayer that Trump won't hear about that as another option! So heartbreaking to see the grief of dementia. God bless you and your family in the days ahead. XXX
Most enjoyable. Thank you.
Love the music on video, we have just come back from your neck of the woods and Cornwall in our Motorhome, good way to be away and control distancing xxx pleased you had a great time,. So happy you got your dad n mum away x. Caroline you made me laugh, spray it up you nose and down your throat and it would get rid of flu, yes it would get rid of your flu and you 😂
Burgh Island used to be on my wish list but I don't go out now. Thanks for sharing
I completely understand Caroline my dear dad had vascular dementia and myself and sister cared for him although we did get a little help. It was completely heartbreaking to see the deterioration but as we were involved day to day we just dealt with it the best we could and it wasn’t until after he died did we both wondered how on earth did we manage to do that. It’s now two years since he died but it took a good 12 months to get over this horrendous disease as you’ve no time to think about it during the illness. As you’re not seeing him everyday the changes will be quite dramatic for you. My advice is introduce as much help as you can don’t leave it until later as the person with the disease is less receptive to change - talking about it does help good luck and all the best xx
Tears ran down my face when I saw your Dad sitting at the dining table. He reminds me so much of my late Dad, in more ways than one. I feel for you and your family Caroline. Dear God it's a terrible, cruel illness and we never actually know what things are going through their minds. There isn't any subtle way to move on from that, so I will just add that you looked beautiful throughout your time away. Very glamorous. I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves. I too have always wanted to visit Burgh Island ever since I saw it featured in a film. I love Art Deco. Ashley looked very suave 😉 lovvvvved the 'patterned' shirt. Look after yourself, and each other, xx
The hotels you stayed in were exquisite and dinner in the Grand Ballroom looked very classy, was the food nice?The views from Burgh Island were to die for and the exposed stone walls in the older style hotel were gorgeous!Your outfits looked lovely!
Lovely places!
I have the gold shoes from new look..the most comfortable evening shoes ever! Wide fit is the way to go
Hi beautiful places to stay.mu hubby still awaiting neurologist diagnosis. Sending all my love to you as a family xx
Enjoyed seeing snippets of your holiday. So glad, that while very difficult, you got to enjoy the company of your dad. I understand your feelings halving experienced dementia with my mom. Wouldn't it be great if a cure or at least great help could be found ?
I had a similar problem with my eyes. I use Refresh Mega,-3. It is purchased OTC. It comes in little vjals...you twist off the little top piece and can put it back on. Each vial is said to be a day treatment but you can easily get 2 or maybe even 3 days out of it. . Hope you find something that helps.
You looked very pretty in all your holiday outfits.
Take care....💕🌻
Love your hair and beautiful dress! Very classy lady with handsome husband! Looks so fun! Wish we could do that in the states😩
Lovely 😍
My dry eyes caused my eyes to run constantly. There are drops available at most stores here in the USA. The more expensive ones that last 12 hours work the best. But if poor like me the cheap ones can be put in two or three times a day. My daughter that works[I'm retired] uses the expensive ones and swears by them.
Great long vlog 🤗
Peroxide and water mixed 50/50 and gargled will kill strep throat, but is hard on tooth enamel. Rinse out your mouth after 5 minutes. I take an ephedrine before going out with a mask and it helps. It's over the counter here in USA but you have to sign for it so a box lasts me usually a year before Covid. I'm on oxygen at night and will have a Cpap machine soon for Sleep Apnea, have one more sleep study to adjust the machine and to see if my O2 levels remain high on the Cpap alone.
It was a pleasure to see the places that you visited on your staycation. The menus are also of interest. I had some issues with running eyes and found I was allergic to my eye makeup. Certain ingredients I suppose. I hope you do more traveling around the south of England. I fancy seeing Cornwall and St. Mich. Mount. How about it ?
Absolutely love the Wallis top
We honeymooned at Burgh, stayed in the Beach House 💕such a special place
What a lovely break and location. We've not stayed away since Covid, so I'm curious about how they handled social distancing & face covering? It's a whole new social etichette to master!
I use just hay fever eye drops that help me when i get it and I sound like I’ve hot a permanent cold ,! What a lovely break you all had and so nice to spend it with your mum and dad xxyou looked lovely every day x
What beautiful locations for a getaway.Your outfits looked amazing...how does one get in and out of bath´s like the first one,I have always wondered.. ?.. Your brother seems great fun.So sorry to hear about Dad......Sx
I too have gone off buns etc that are too bready, I found Deli kitchen sliced focaccia at sainsurys 4 in a pack that are lovely.
Lovely to see your break away with the family. So glad you enjoyed yourselves, the hotels looked lovely. Dementia is so very cruel on the whole family. Please don't apologise for giving us wonderful entertainment, you always go above and beyond,, family time so special it's quite right that should come first. Thanks again x
I was recommended to use Hycosan dry eye drops by the optician - seems weird to add moisture for watery eyes but the drops really work 👍 looks like you had a lovely few days away but from experience I can understand that it may also have been quite upsetting at times. Absolutely vile disease.
Miss you! Hope all is well.
Just taking a little break, back soon :)
Hi , I also suffer with eye problems mine problem is allergy related so I use eye drops to suit plus I find some eye shadows and mascaras can irritate my eyes . You should see an eye specialist for answers .🇦🇺👋
I just love watching your sites
Yh Caroline I've got running eyes started bout a month ago gets on my nerves xxx
❤❤❤
I was commenting on the other video just before you took it down, so not sure if it went through but...
That Fabulosa spray is the same as the Dettol All-in-One Spray. It breaks down “live” virus spores on surfaces rendering it deactivated. Same as soap breaks them down. That’s why cleaning and good hygiene keeps viral infections (like MRSA) down in hospitals.
Unfortunately once you’ve caught a virus, you can’t kill it by spraying disinfectant up your nose 🤣 In the words of Dettol (after Trump’s similar recommendation regarding disinfectant to cure Coronavirus ):-
“While Dettol and other disinfectant products may kill the new coronavirus on surfaces, the makers of Dettol says "under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route)"... so probably best not to try it Caroline!
Running eyes is also a symptom of menopause (dry eyes). I know you are on HRT now, so hope that has helped. xx
Hi Caroline. My mum has dry eyes and she has Xailin which she applies once a day and works very well for her. However, she has it on prescription so I am not sure if you can buy it over the counter.
When I see lovely old buildings like this ⬆️ it’s always a bit disappointing to know so many tourists (I’m looking at you Americans) only visit London. This looks a charming place, very old. My dear husband and I are booked into Coomb abbey, it was originally to be in April for our wedding anniversary but we had to reschedule because of COVID. Anyway, we are heading to Cornwall next month for our uk staycation. Next year, 2021 we are doing a week in New York and coming home on QM2, not queens grill though, steerage lol.
I love catching up with you Caroline, your chats are like meeting an old friend. I even chat back to you lol!
Oh, we have the same gray tiles only you have them all over (the leaf ones) and we have them just as one strip of leaves with plain gray all the rest of the way. Iykwim. I also have the same gray slippers as you, with the fluffy trim, but I don’t know where they’re from as my daughter bought me them.
Absolutely agree with always ending with a cheese plate, I _do_ love a well laid out cheeseboard with grapes, celery, figs, and a selection of blue cheeses (my favourite)
Never change my lovely. 😘
Hi. Can I ask where you got the "Chanel bag" from?! x
Hi - it was from a replica bag website, I can't remember the name, sorry x
Your runny eyes could be allergy related; you may have developed an allergy to your face cream, or your makeup or any other number of things (allergies can develop at any stage in life. I’m 64 and I have developed allergies, which now prevents me from wearing eye makeup) . You should check with a dermotologist and an allergist or even a naturopath to see if that’s the problem.
I’ve had the same problem with my eyes, not found anything to help yet
Wendy Bowis have you tried Hycosan drops? Really help my eyes. Boots stock them for £9.99 I believe.
What happened?? lol I tried to watch the very end as I had to go off to work this morning and you had disappeared, along with the comments.
There was an editing error, I had to correct it :) Unfortunately there's no way to move the comments over to the new version, it's a shame. Hope you've had a good weekend :)
@@CarolineMrsM working. :(
Hi Caroline lovely to see your family and what beautiful places you visited sorry to hear about your
dad love and best wishes to you and your family
I did see your editing error it made me smile x
Caroline I totally understand how you feel.... I'm in same position but much further on... I looked after my Mum with help of carers until it became obvious that it was not enough... she has been in a nursing home for 3 years and now knows no one.... and looking for her mum and dad..... I've not seen her since March and have no idea what to expect.... she is only here because of her
nursing home that I can say... she has been treated like a queen... even when she is less than pleasant...So I can say your mum is one strong lady...hugs from one who understands... and if you need an avenue to let your worries or frustration out... just email me.

No idea why it's showing my husband's name lol ... but it's be Linda not a weird man
Lol.xx
David Roulston it’s always so sad to see anyone go through what you’re going through. Dementia is such a cruel disease. Life often isn’t fair. I’m sorry I can’t say anything more heartwarming. 😘
where is caroline
I was just going to ask the same thing. I'm getting worried. Caroline, if you see this, just know we're thinking of you!!
Hi - thanks for thinking of me. I'm fine, just taking a bit of time out :)
yes i was getting worried! but as long as your ok thats all that matters enjoy your time out! xx
@@CarolineMrsM Take all the time you need, Caroline! We all need a bit of that now and again ;-)
Hi caroline you need a wee time to yourself relax and look after youraelf tale care xx
Be careful with the smoked haddock. The film looks swollen which is a bad sign.
Are you ok?
Just taking a little break, back soon :)
@@CarolineMrsM ok look forward to it
Subtitles not activated, so unable to watch ☹️☹️
Sorry to hear that, I haven't done anything different from normal at my end so maybe it's a temporary UA-cam problem?
@@CarolineMrsM I've tried again today and they are now working 👍........must have been a YT problem.
Nice looking husband
