DRIVING BACK TO POSITANO & WHY I DIDN'T TAKE HOLLY EP 198
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- I went for a walk with Dan long the River Wey from Ripley Green to Pyrford Lock. We stopped for coffee and cake at Nest cafe and shop in Ripley.
Leni and Rosi are the daughters of my friend Elisabeth in Positano. They love to make little videos for you. The grape harvest was at Carlo's cousins house.
The first day of my journey I drive from Surrey to Dole in France via the Eurotunnel.
The second day I drove from Dole to Courmayer, crossing the Alps via the Mont Blanc tunnel.
I then drove from Courmayer to Ovado near Genova and stayed at the Castello di Grillano Guesthouse: castellodigril...

Thanks for watching the video [Insert Video Title Here]
Why people will feel the need to question your decisions for Holly are simply ridiculous to me you can tell both dogs Are loved and cared for
Totally agree what is it to anyone your decisions are your decisions, really upsets me to think you have to explain yourself to total strangers!! Rant over
Agree it’s so annoying. U can so tell for sure
Maybe they question it because they are interested and want to show they care.
I was wondering about that title since she already mentioned it before she left why she took Indie and not Holly. It's their life (and their decisions) that she happens to share with us viewers.
Hi Carlo here, thank you very much, I just wanted to add that we certainly do what we want, and if we want to give you more input or information just why we want to do it, and not necessarily call them "explanations" and in any case everyone sees and "hears" and interprets in the way he wants, and as long as he remains respectful and in good manners, everyone can say what they want, obviously all of us (or almost) like positive comments and attitudes and we want to have fun and smile, and not make useless discussions! 💕😘🥰❤️😍
Holly is perfectly happy at home with Carlo, her tail is up and she’s smiling all good signs, she probably likes individual time with Carlo. You can see that you both take good care of your animals.Always the best videos
Holly is like a little old lady now and prefers home and her routine…
Indi is young and up for any adventure.
Glad your Dad is keeping well and you had a good time at home.
I can relate to Holly, lol
@@maryddd3546
I’m only 55 and feel that way at times. Oops! 😂 Husb is older and more like Indie. Go figure. Lol!
You don't have to explain anything to anyone. Your puppers are well taken care of and loved dearly. So happy for another wonderful video. Thank you 💗
Exactly!
We're here to ask questions or if we have a common what's wrong with that
I'm so sorry people felt the need to speak to you about Holly in such a way that you had to correct everyone. I always enjoy my morning Sunday tea watching you, Carlo, Holly, and now Indie. More families should be as loving, thoughtful, caring, and adventurous with their dogs as you both are. Cheers!
Elizabeth's daughters are growing so very fast. How time flies.
Elizabeth's daughters have indeed grown so fast and my, what an amazing childhood they are enjoying. 🙂
Holly looks like she has had a wonderful time with Carlo this month. I also have a dog who doesn't enjoy car trips, so I understand why she stayed home. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures!
I loved watching Holly coming down the steps with her little ears flapping up and down in slow motion. She's one very special dog and much loved by you all and us everywhere. Love from Hong Kong xox
I loved that too Glenda . It was so cute.:)
The idea of someone abandoning Holly on the side of the road breaks my heart. She is just the sweetest thing.
It’s massivley evident how LOVED both of your dogs are!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Holly is such a gift. Such a lovely and beautiful dog! Always smiling!
They are a lovely family, I was particularly touched by last week’s video when Nicki spoke about her mother. I also second the comments concerning the apparent need for a "Holly explanation.” It must be a double edged sword for Nicki and Carlo that , on the one hand, the world so loves Holly (who is the sweetest little dog I have ever seen) and yet the same people feel they have the right to question Holly’s care with the very family that so obviously love her.
Love ♥️ Holly . My dog was abandoned too by his owner and was in a very bad shape when I got him, now he is happy, safe and extremely loved.
You conquered your fear and had a great trip to see your family! Yummy treats to bring home, too! I enjoyed watching the children with the grape harvest!🍇🍇
Both Holly and Indie are very lucky dogs to have you and Carlo. You do your vacation any way you want to. Those puppies are clearly so loved. Beautiful footage and thanks as always for sharing.
Terrible to think of sweet little Holly being at the mercy of cruel people. Her ongoing fear of cars after all the time she's been with you tells you everything.
The scene with the kids harvesting the grapes was very heartwarming, looks like a great family bonding activity. The Alps look stunning!
Hello Nicky! You are fabulous! So proud of you and doing a solo trip without Carlo. You have given me the courage to travel and not be fearful. You are such a good momma to both of your dogs. Have a safe and joyful ride back home to Positano. Hugs and love ❤️
Holly is truly a very happy dog ❤️
I loved the footage of the children harvesting the grapes and then stomping them. What wonderful memories they will have!
Hello everywhere !!! My wife and I love your videos. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Holly is so adorable and the look of love she gives her Papa is precious! I'm glad Holly kept Carlo company while you and Indy went on your adventure. 🙂
Really precious little creature is Holly. Has a lovely life and family too. x
Holly is my favorite 😊
It’s so hard to say goodbye. I miss my family so much as I haven’t seen them in 5 months, the hardest part of living in another country. I loved seeing the harvesting of the grapes and the community you have in Positano. I must say you can see how loved your fur babies are! Some of the blessed pups & cats even not my puppy and not my cat.
Holly is so sweet. She reminds me of a sweet little American Eskimo mix dog I had. Holly seems to have the same friendly and adventurous spirit as my girl. She's been gone now for more than eight years but I still miss her. Gotta admit I tear up a little sometimes when I see Holly in your videos.
She is a special girl
Holly has the best life!!! Anyone who could question that you absolutely love her and take great care of her is coo coo. Thanks for taking us along with you on your trip to see dad Nicki! And thank you to Carlo and Elizabeth for giving us glimpses of the place we love so much. Xoxo
I never doubted that you made the right decision for Miss Holly. She's yours and you know her needs better than we do. No worries.
Safe travels
Holly is doing just fine with Daddy
18:58 What an absolute beautiful village/town
Hi Nicki, Hi Carlo, good to see you are all okay and doing well, You know my Sundays would never, ever be the same without you both... Also, it gets me away from writing my poetry and my short stories love to you both xx
What a lovely walk you had with your brother & Indie around the canals. Also, viewing all the different kinds of boats along the way. Have to thank Elizabeth & the girls for sharing their grape picking & wine making experience! Really enjoyed the Carlo & Holly adventures, Holly was adorable with him. She is one lucky dog to have all of you in her life! Welcome back to Italy.
I enjoyed this week’s episode Nicki! I’m glad you had a nice visit with your dad❤️ The different segments with Elizabeth, the girls, Carlo & precious Holly are nice! It’s enjoyable to see everyone & catch up with them also. Looking forward to next week’s video. Safe travels! gina
It has always been very obvious how much you and Carlo love Holly ❤️!! She has a great life and I am sorry if people don't see that. You are absolutely amazing 👏
Beautiful trip. Love the Alps..Looks so clean there. We know you and Carlo love your animals and do the best
for them. Love Holly and Indie! I loved the grape festival and how the kids get involved instead of sitting inside and playing video games! Great video! Safe travels home! Hugs!❤
Saying farewell to family is never easy, but pleased for that you had quality time with your family. Thanks for taking us along on your trip home to Italy. The scenery was great! Loved the video of the grape harvest and Carlo’s walking adventure with Holly. Safe travels home👍
Nicki, thank you for doing all the hard work behind the scenes to give us a flawless movie of your trip with Indie. Elisabeth's video was delightful. Carlo's video with Holly was so sweet. Again, I love that your Dad saves you the magazines from the Sunday newspapers.😊❤
Aww Holly is perfectly happy, you can see it. Taking Indie was a good idea to socialize her more. Dogs are more resiliant and smarter than we think. God Bless.
Wonderful video, why anybody would have concerns for your two doggies is beyond me. Thanks Nikki and Carlo, your vlogs always make me smile x
How lovely to see all the children helping with the grapes 🍇
Nicki, I’ve been watching you since the very beginning and I absolutely adore your family. Because of that, I HAVE to tell you-PLEASE don’t ever walk around alone in a place such as the foggy industrial park. I’m assuming it was just off the motorway where someone could easily abduct you, hop back on and you’d disappear without a trace. If you must stop for Indy to have a wee break, open your door, let her do what she needs, and immediately get back on the road. I won’t pretend I know everything, but I’m an avid traveler, and have visited numerous countries on my own throughout the years. I never worry because I’m always on the alert to just exactly where I am, and what the potential odds are for danger. One of the first rules of safety is to never put yourself in a vulnerable position for someone to harm you. I have never felt unsafe anywhere in Europe, but there are always going to be dangerous people in the world, and we have to keep ourselves from falling prey to them. I realize this trip was a huge new and exciting experience for you, and I’m honestly not trying to offend. It would break my heart if something happened to you; even more so if I didn’t share this advice I was given. On a happier note, thank you for another glimpse into the adventures of you, Carlo, Holly, and Indy. You bring so much joy to us all, and we appreciate all the work involved in sharing the beauty of your life.🧡🍃🌻🌾🍂
It makes me happy to see you walk around the canal ,not a step in sight ...you sooo deserved that ,thanks for a great video XOXO
Perfectly understand why you didnt take Holly. One of my dogs hated the car too. Loved your journey back home, such beautiful scenery. Thankyou for sharing as always.
How sweet of your dad to keep the Sunday papers for you🤗 so cute to see the children helping in the wine making process. I hear you about "leaving" Nicki🤗 Beautiful walk with Holly Carlo. I was in Courmayeux in 1981😊
Loving the Holly montage. She is so loved by you all. x
You are a beautiful human living, loving, great wife, mom, friend, daughter, sister and best owner of pets I have yet to see. You inspire all of us to be better. You are creative, articulate and a true pleasure to watch.
Holly was very happy with Carlo!😻 You overcame your fears and as a result you had a great time with your family. I loved the preparation of the grapes, very cool! 😊👏
Holly gave a very good explanation on your Instagram page as to why she was happy to stay at home with Caro and not travel to England with Nicki 😊. Loved seeing the children participate in the grape harvest, thank you Elizabeth for sharing. Absolutely enjoyed everything minute of your journey through Italy, France, and England! See you back in Italy Nicki and Indi 😊🇮🇹
I’m happy wherever you take me Nicki, love Italy but love the UK too. 🧡
My weekly favourite. Thanks for sharing Nikki
Hello from Texas Nicki & Carlo!
Thanks to you I feel as though I’ve been on a gorgeous European vacation! Thanks for sharing another beautiful video!🌹
Thanks for taking us along to visit your family.. that was a big road trip! You did it!!👏
Holly is having a great time with her dad! … I think that was a great decision. Look at her tail going with her dad so sweet… your both amazing with your dogs. I love those parts of your videos. That’s a lot of work running back for the phone. Thank you
How beautiful the English countryside is! It was so great to see you walking with your brother along the river; I had no idea it was like that in parts of England. The dog park was fantastic for travelers! How thoughtful that they included a place for female dogs in season! 🐕 I am SO glad you are over the anxiety you felt about taking this trip. I am the same way--getting ready to go away makes me anxious, but once you go, you realize it's ok. The food you picked up at market looked yummy! Loved the video with Holly--I'm SURE she was happy to stay home with Carlo. And CARLO obviously enjoyed her being with him! ❤ The area where you stopped in Italy reminds me of where Luca & Sara (Leaw) live.... LOVED this video! 😍
Beautiful as always, I’ve been to places I didn’t know existed with you, absolutely lovely, I almost feel like I had a vacation following your videos, thanks again for sharing Nicki, it looked like such a lovely time!
OMG, the Alps!! What a wonderful day to celebrate the views. I love that Daddy Carlo got to be with his little baby girl dog. You can tell she is a happy furbaby! Wonderful video! More please! 🙏❤️
There is doubt that Holly is a very loved and happy dog!
I think you meant NO doubt.
Aww nice to see you both walking and out enjoying nature and the doggies. Safe travels home Nicki. Both you and Carlo look well take care. 💞
The video in the Alps was so beautiful , When you were packing your car a;; I could think of was all those steps when you get home .
Me too. Yikes. I couldn't do it.
I deeply appreciate all the hassle to produce such gorgeous videos . Carlo the drone shots make me smile like a fool with joy!! Thank you for giving me such a great break.
The drive back to Positano is beautiful!
The locks on the river in England are so interesting...
Pyford lock ! What great pleasure it was to have a glance at it and what memories it brought! You are very brave Nicki to do such a long trip by yourself. It was lovely to see Carlo and Holly having a smashing time bonding together. I love your videos, catching up with them all.....
Hi nicki glad to see you and your brother enjoying your flat walk around the canal ,makes such a difference to all those steps,have a safe journey home
You guys are the best animal parents I've ever seen!! Nicki, good on you for stepping out of your comfort zone to do the journey alone. I've loved the vlogs thanks for sharing!!
What a blessing to see and hear you have brothers. It's especially nice that you can travel with Dan.
Lovely videos of your trip to England and back!…. Brought back happy memories of our sweet fur baby Jack 💕
Thank you Carlos for highlighting.Holly...l know why people.commented....we felt that sweet Holly had taken a back seat to ur new dog......when l first started watching.ur highly.entertaining videos..seeing sweet Hollys smiling face touched my heart.....Carlos ur so loving and kind to Holly..l dont know why Holly touches me so...but she went thru alot..and you rescued her....well CARRY ON ...and l love ur drone videos...❤💚💜💙💛

I never had doubt that Halley is better stay home. She is an older tiny dog need more rest..Ps: sorry for the wrong spell I hope Holly forgive me💕
You mean Holly, ha ha, at first I wondered who you meant!
@@Sparrowdean I guess…😌
You and Carlo and your doggies are a gem in this crazy world of ours. Love to see your life as you share your daily events with us. Again, Bravo! Love from NY!
Great to see sweet Holy!
Good afternoon Nikki, great music to stroll by the river of boats with your dear brother. He does so look like your father. & No not in my viewership have you mentioned you had three brothers. I do so enjoy seeing you interact with Indie. Carlo, your photography & drone work sometimes makes me dizzy. So well done. Sitting on the rock with all the pretty green lace vegetation around you hugging your dear sweet Holly was tender & beautiful. She is loved and does love you. Nikki your galloping pivot with your camera, back and forth creating the blog that looks seamless is a glimpse of how much work you put into these vignettes. Thank you. It will be nice when you get to return to your vertical Paradise!
Holly and Indie have both been angels while you were away!!! Such sweethearts!!!❤
I really enjoyed this video. You especially look great in that black shorts and top. Good cliffhanger….arriving home (next week). Even though I know it is acting (walking away), I like breaking the fourth wall humor. Thanks to Elizabeth with the kiddos stomping grapes. I agree with others….no need to apologize or explain anything about your life to UA-cam audience. I do appreciate watching life in Europe 🤚🏼 I’ve learned a lot and use many of your recipes.
I appreciate the 2 of you for creating the videos & running back from scenes to collect the camera
I just love the last two little towns you stayed at…..So charming 🥰 thank you to Elizabeth and Carlo for adding on to this wonderful video/vlog. ( I still haven’t quite figured out the difference between the two). 🤪……..🤗🥰🍋
That stunning alpine village. Heaven on earth
Thanks for taking us along, we'll done Nikki a great accomplishment Indy is such a good dog.
I’m in LOVE with Holly! I’m a DOG person! My wonderful Shitzu, Lucky, died three years ago & for the last six months have been caring for Grandson’s 19 year old Puggle, Bubba! Your Indie is a lovely dog reminding me of a dog I had many years ago named, Jingles! Thanks for sharing your lives & I so enjoy the beautiful scenery! Hugs from America❤️🙏🤗🇺🇸🦴🦴
Great to see you in Ripley; I live just around. So very strange to see home on your utube.
One day we will go to Italy again. You did very well to drive all the way there and back by yourself it’s such a long way.
Nicki, you are SO BRAVE! I LOVE taking trips with you to England! Thanks for sharing!!
Oh the Alps, What amazing views! 😍 ..... Holly looked quite happy being home. Thank you to Elizabeth and the girls, always a joy to see them and you too Carlo! Oh the running back for the camera 🤣🤣🤣 .. Thank you Nicky for sharing and all the work you put in for us ❤️
Woooow. That place in the north of Italy with the swimming pool. Beautiful place!! Paradise!
Loved seeing all the old-style boats along the River Wey-great that your brother could join you, too! Also loved seeing the grape harvest with Elizabeth, her darling girls, and all the others! You guys have a great life! Congrats Nicki for navigating the trip alone and not letting fear stop you!
It is great that you have gained brill confidence in driving all that way alone. That makes it so much more enjoyable. Love your videos. X
So happy you had an amazing trip home to spend quality time with your family in England❤️❤️❤️
Enjoy all of the videos. This is so much fun as I have been is this general area many times in my traveling years. 81 now, husband with Alzheimer’s so thank you
Love the video...Loved seeing the girls making wine...Loved seeing you Nicki with your brother...Loved seeing the wonderful Holly who is adored by all of you...and Indy...There is always lots of love in your videos...Thank You xoxo
Oh, that coffee and cake looked delicious... "All sorts of Yummy things in the bag", CHOCOLATE!!?? Tell Elisabeth thanks for the footage, the Harvest was really nice, seeing those kids work together. My family was big, we used to go to a friends house that had an Apple Orchard, we picked all day! Elisabeth's laugh is great. Leni is doing great presenting things. Fun to watch. Sorry to hear the grapes are effected by the heat. Loved the food spread. I could go on and on. But you know how I love you guys...with a Big Squishy between the toes...Cyber Hug!
Thank you Nicki so much for taking us all on your adventures. You make it look so effortless until we see what you have to go through to give us so much enjoyment. ❤️
Nicki, thank you so much for taking me on your journey back to England to visit family and your journey heading back home. The views and terrain were beautiful. Carlo, thank you so much for a fun hike with Holly and the children picking grapes and stomping them. My sister and I went to a winery and picked grapes and stomped them. We had great fun and did our impression of “I Love Lucy”. Sorry, that reference probably won’t make any sense to you. Take care and be safe. Ciao👩🌾
Such a lovely vlog. There is always something about you that is so calming in spirit. Stay always as lovely as you are and Carlo too.
I enjoy watching you and wherever you go! It is not just the place it is the person that makes the video enjoyable. Give me an English Garden any day! That park by the water was spectacular. Where those house boats?
I also always feel anxious when it’s time to leave. The anticipation of going away or coming home is nice but the closer it gets to doing it, the more nervous I get. Once I get started, I’m great. I know this about myself now, so it gets easier as I get older. ☺️
Absolutely beautiful. The mountains and the village there, OMG.
Loved the walk from Ricky to Purford lock, brought back so many memories 💜. I live in Cornwall now but still miss Surrey. Didn’t see your Dad this time, I hope he’s well and enjoyed your extended stay. Good to be home I bet 💝💝💝
Riply of course, these automatic spell thingys get me every time! I’m just too old 🙄
Lovely chalets, forest trails, Indie happy just to keep you company Nicki, and Carlo with Holly poo... Elizabeth and the girls/ boys and grapes! And here in Canada... +35 is the forecast... but thankful for some wispy cloud cover. Keep well everyone ! 🌞
I feel the exact same way when I’m about to take a trip. But then, once I’m on the road, it’s all fine!
How anyone could throw out Holly or any animal out of a car is beyond evil. No animal deserves to be abandoned or treated so cruelly. So happy you rescued her. Thanks for sharing your travels. The alps are so beautiful 😍
There is always room for more than one dog I’m so happy you have Indie!
Indy is enjoying her scratching hahaha
Love all your videos Nicki God blessed you and safe journey 🙏❤️🐶
Holly is a very lucky that she find you guys very lucky indeed 🐶❤️🙏👑
What a lovely video today. Carlo, I so enjoyed your walk with Holly...over the years these mountain walks have become so familiar. And miles away, Nicki and Indie got a walk in the mountains too. I also enjoyed Elizabeth's trip with the girls to harvest grapes. Well done everyone. xo Suzi
