We're curious 🤔 do you have any traditions at Christmas? For the last couple of years we've done a boxing day wild swim! Although, last year was too cold so Jack wussed out 🤣
We also wanted to say a massive thank you for being part of the channel this year! We absolutely love this little community so thank you for being on board 🙂 have a lovely end to 2023 and a delightful New Year!

The only tradition we have is coming together and have dinner with the children and grandchildren. I love looking at your channel. I also wish you a very dood New Year with lots of luck and joy together!
Fun fact about English ivy: when you pull it off a tree you may be saving the tree's life.
From a fudge person: Ive been making cooked fudge for about 30 years. If it’s a cooked fudge, it’s grainy because it too long to set and the sugar recrystallised and wasn’t beaten long enough before you poured it into the tray.
TIP: when I pour mine into a tray I mark it into squares before it sets completely.
You're all adorable, hearing the little gurgley baby noises, the tiny stocking and Tilly's holey one 😅 have a lovely Christmas, look forward to seeing what next year brings x
I am watching this in February when the news is full of nasty people related to our Royalty and fighting people, along with troubles with money worldwide, corruption, politics and all the rest of it. It is a real and healthy cheer up to be reminded that there are still nice guys around who have their heads screwed on right and their hearts just where their hearts should be. Thank you for just being you and representing the majority. I am now a devoted follower.
Thank you for following - glad we can be a tiny piece of solace!
Guys, it's been a joy to follow your journey. Wishing you a wonderful first family Christmas and a happy healthy coming year. Blessings to ALL 🙏🌈🌲
❤ my heart burst seeing Bert’s tiny little sock all hung up together!
The decorations look beautiful.
Happy 1st Christmas as a family 🎄
Gabby you have a great man ! Never seen a man go foraging...I go foraging every year for Christmas decorations..love it...just love the Stockings soo cute...awesome decor...Merry Christmas 🎄 from our family to your family...little one is soo handsome....Hugs to everyone ❤️
You got more decorating for the holiday than I did. But then I got everyone’s “favorite” virus earlier in the month. I just didn’t have it in me to be festive and I’m still not 100%. Little one’s green sweater is absolutely adorable.
Hope the three of you had the best Christmas possible.
My heart melted when I saw all of the stockings being hung up next to each other🥰. I hope you had a lovely first Christmas as a little family,
I loved the way you made simple decorations from nature and that fudge looked amazing. I hope 2024 is a happy and healthy year for you all. Lots of love. xxxx
I have the engwe engine X for about 9 months. Lovely bike for the money. I tow a pet trailer which folds down flat and fits nicely on the roof. Have a wonderful 2024 and keep rolling out these wonderful vlogs.
Our Christmas tradition. We make Shortbread stars & gingerbread angels & watch my favourite Christmas movie on Christmas Eve. The one & only, Muppets Christmas Carol 😍😂
You guys are the loveliest💖…your natural, humble, educated manner, coupled with the beautiful lifestyle you have is a credit to all that you are as people and how you hold yourselves…your new chapter of this wonderful life you have is going to be a joy to watch as you share your journey 🥰
I hope that Joubert is doing well…and I wish you all the very best for 2024!!
Keep warm, take care! 🥰
Ben. x.
Merry Christmas to you all. Here's to a better 2024.
I'd not attempt to direct your perfect life. Love you.
Merry Christmas to all 4 of you. May all your wishes come true in 2024
Told my wife that holly fact as your were bringing them in and showing off that cutting to the camera, then you backed me up a second later!
Christmas tractor parades are excellent!
Aren't they! It was our first one and totally loved it 😅
@@thistinylife we were slightly miffed we missed out on one while we were moored at st Martins. Made up for it with the Llangollen parade. That one also had kids on scooters. A grinchmobile and majorettes
Great advert for Riverford boxes
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas xxx
A bit to late to send you xmas wishes. My computer crashed and I'm now catching up! So, here's wishing you a wonderful and healthy 2024, with thanks for all your videos..

Fabulous! We don't have any holly growing naturally here but we do have mistletoe! Your home is looking amazing! Merry Christmas!
Ohh and by the way, you must get a shot of the tree and the stockings! You will be so glad you did years from now! 💕
A baby on a boat! Must be a small challenge. I thought a dog on mine was lol.
Great show. Thanks for sharing! Your decorations are charming and what a special Christmas for you all, your first with your little one. Our family generally meets up for and an extravagant breakfast at our place and then open presents. I like to make sugar cookies, more like a tea cake with cranberry and nuts. I usually make fudge as well as sausage balls made with Bisquick baking mix, sausage and sharp cheddar cheese. They’re always a big hit, as a appetizer before breakfast. Merry Christmas to you all and may you have a blessed New Year🎄❄️
Your videos are so relaxing to watch. Low key and lovable.
Happy New Year and have a blessed 2024.
Peace joy and love all the Christmas Blessings to you all four love from your oldies Happy New Year too tc now xxxx🌟🌟🌟🌟🤗🤗🤗🤗

My traditions are decorating with fresh greenery, Florida style we actually have some scrub trees called Fl Holly with red berries and Australian pine trees…Christmas cups for tea and coffee, sugar cookies and Christmas bed linens. Smelly candles for the season and of course the tree with vintage ornaments. I usually add some red to garden in the form of pots and or flowers…plenty of food and cookies…Happy Christmas take good care.
Thanks so much for this lovely video. Happy holidays from Canada.

Happy Christmas guys 🎄 … Don’t forget to make baby’s first Christmas ornament, unless that is superstitious in your country..maybe keep your fudge covered? That wood stove is dry heat and will take a lot of the moisture out of the air😊
Adorable! It's been amazing following your journey this year. You're a complete family now with the little one. Have a lovely Christmas 🎄 and stay safe.
Happy Christmas and a wonderful new year for you and your loved ones. ❤
