*Ali xx* ✨
Thank you so much Ali, that's really appreciated 😊 x
Ali what's the name of Lizzy's facebook page?
Dan’s expressions during ‘duck-gate’, pure gold! 😂
If the bags are dodgy, does it really matter if the badges are a bit dodgy too? 🤔
Every time I see you cooking crispy kale, I giggle after the time you tried to cook it in the air fryer. I haven't laughed so much for years and whenever I'm feeling glum, I put on that vlog and giggle all over again😅
I'm so pleased that you liked the bag, and so grateful for your support xx
I've never commented before but we share a birthday. I'll be 74 on Friday! Did you know that the 19th April is Primrose Day? My husband used to give me a bunch of primroses on my birthday. Happy birthday for Friday.
Yes that’s right in honour of Disraeli
Watching this on Friday morning on your birthday so Happy Birthday! I agree that Swans can be vicious creatures! We had to do an extra two miles on a walk once when two swans blocked a canal path and refused to let anyone pass! Even two burly men tried to shift them and one attacked and it was frightening! Enjoy your special day!
Goose-gate was such a funny conversation. Made me chuckle royally this morning, thank you 😘
In Canada we jokingly call the geese COBRA CHICKENS or HISSING COBRA CHICKENS. 😊
I just checked the comments to see if anyone had mentioned the affectionate nickname for Canada Geese - Cobra Chickens - and you have. All in the name of continuing education. 😊 I love them because they are fierce. Don't mess with their families. They've got the 'If looks could kill' stare down pat. 🇨🇦
I loved this one. The water fowl education was great😂
took a break from my uni assignment (due tonight 😬) to catch up on your last few vlogs and do a bit of knitting. The yarns in your birthday advent are so pretty, and go together so well (maybe they should become some nice stripey birthday socks?).
I would love to see some more geese, I loved the ones crossing the road the other day, even if I was a bit confused as to why those ducks looked so much like geese (my long covid brain just accepted I had misremembered them without thinking about it lol). I thought Dan was going to say that the only things as mean as Canada Geese and swans are waterfowl experts, lol.
Ah Canada geese and swans are lovely. I walk around a local lake every weekend and feed them and they have become very friendly. I get a lovely greeting from the male swan when he sees me and the geese come up and I get to hand feed some. Last year it was cute when they had their young the goslings recognised me and came running over to nibble my fingers and they curled up on my feet.
Hobbit songs! 😂 … our son absolutely loved the Hobbit from even preschool age. When I would take him along grocery shopping he would sing those songs as we would choose our produce. We got the oddest looks and comments from people. Yes, as a Canadian I wholeheartedly agree that Cdn Geese are mean!
Have you ever considered making Little Drop of Wonderful stitch markers? I think we’d all buy them out in 2 seconds flat! Still giggling about the geese 😂 and yes! Those suckers are MEAN! 😅
Dan is so sweet to defend your lack of fowl knowledge. He’s a keeper!! 💕💕💕
How nice to realize that I missed a day and had it to watch and enjoy whilst having my dinner this evening! I laughed about the Canada Geese. When you called them ducks the other day I thought, My, they grow funny ducks over there! I love that your DodgyBalMAL pins are themselves Dodgy. Not fun for you, for sure, but amusing!
True Story. Downtown near the Library, there used to be a pond that had the most beautiful swans. One day, I don't know why, I decided to feed one a hot dog. She/He/It? bit me! And then, chased me off. Very rude bird! That was the last time I tried to feed a water fowl! So I advise people to keep their distance. Their personality does not match their lovely appearance.
Since it's Thursday here in the US, I'm gonna go ahead and wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALI! May you be showered with much yellow yarn. As I probably will forget tomorrow. Hugs from across the Pond.
Two happy discoveries today :
(1) the wonder of having a flask when you are travelling and how nice it is to decant a "fancy coffee" into to it to drink along the way, and
(2) how much I enjoy Dan being an integral part of this channel! He was very nervous and remote a few years ago, and now he just embraces it and it's great to see. (PS I do enjoy watching you too - you are a very appreciative gift receiver.)
😄
My 21 year old daughter was almost grown when she learned the ducks, geese and swans were not different stages of a life cycle, so you’re not alone. She blames me ( of course).
Totally chuckling at the water fowl education with you and Dan! Fab bag - good to get a cheer up after the "dodgy pin for the dodgy bags". Happy Birthday Eve for tomorrow!
In the village where I grew up one of the farmers had geese and to walk or cycle past that farm we had to be very wary as the geese would attack us if they saw us.
We have some geese that frequent a creek in my town, everyone knows to stay away from them. They bite!
Waffle on as much as you like Ali, it makes me happy as it’s like chatting with a friend. All the best for your birthday, hope it’s a really happy one.🎉
I must be a double dufus then because I didn't even know they were Canadian geese I feel my bird/duck/waterfowl knowledge is very poor, I mean I didn't even know they knew how to use a zebra crossing hee hee
To be perfectly educated-they are Canada geese, not Canadian. I used the wrong term for decades!😂
@@Lisa-vb3gn 😆 😂
😂 I loved this. The whole duck/goose thing had me in fits and reminded me of visiting my uncles farm when I was very little. He had geese, vile creatures. He called them guard geese because they always made the most horrendous racket if anyone came in the yard. Xxx
Hello friend what a beautiful bag and yarn.glad that you are happy now how nice of your friends.
Happy birthday for tomorrow’s 🎂🥂 xx
Another brilliant vlog Ali. Fear not, we can put up with you daily - just fabulous seeing you are here for another update. X
Just Fab! Made me smile and laugh all the way through - except for the bit where I was cross at whoever dodgied up your Dodgy Bag MAL pins ! Thanks Ali xxx
Ali you are such a delight. I'm looking forward to your videos so much, they are just so good for the soul. Also Dan remains hilarious, you got your own in home entertainment unit there
Goose, geese, gander...duck....I bet they all honk with an English accent!!!! Waffle On Ali!! It's what makes you (and your daily visits) feel like your a friend in real life, not just through the UA-cams... thanks for the One Day recommendation, I really enjoyed it!! See you Tomorrow!❤
Your reaction to the mushroom bag was PRICELESS!!
I've just shown my husband, he does the packaging so is invested, he loved it too 😅
Hi Ali, Not sure which version of the Hobbit audiobook you were listening too but we also hated the singing in it! (Persevered though, but fast-forwarded through some of the songs 😆)
Yes!! “Normal” Geese are terribly mean!! 😂
Hi Ali, I discovered you as I was watching one of Lauren and the books videos and someone mentioned your channel. I love the calm positive vibes. I am much younger than you but I do get drawn to the slower cosier life and I always try to find a moment of beauty in every single day - I love your philosophy of finding joy in the little things ❤ Keep being you!
Here’s me leaning towards the screen to sniff the body butter you are offering up ! 😮😂😂😂😂 can’t wait for your Birthday, are we being taken to the coast? 😁 love the mushroom bag, it’s you in a bag😅 love & Hugs, Suze. 🍄🤗🪿🍣 xxx
Three loads of washing in a day is a serious achievement! 👏👏👏
Oh !, you are treasures! Morning from Melbourne 👋🐨🌏...You and Dan😍...trying to imagine your first date all those years ago at a pub engrossed in each other and a discussion about Calendar Geese...and now,look at you both 20 odd years later.True love prevails.♥️Have a lovely evening,"Mistress".xx😉
❤love that sweet gift of a 🍄 mushroom bag!!!I would have been excited 🎉🎉too!!!
ELAINE 🏠
I used to keep pet Chickens, Ducks and Turkey called Tallulah she was the best like having a dog. ❤ now we have snakes and spiders!!
Hello. I read and heard on the radio that Canadian Geese are on the endangered species list. I don't know, is that worldwide? Well, they are here in Waxhaw North Carolina . Maybe that's changed? Really like your new bag...
❤❤dinner looked so good again!!!!!
A good day for all ur hard work!!!!🎉🎉
Love the crocheted hexagons!!!!!
Elaine ❤🏠
Happy birthday! My birthday was a few hours ago, 17th.
Thank you for another beautiful vlog…HAPPY HAPPY early BIRTHDAY!!! You and your beautiful family Have an amazing week
Ali, have you seen the artwork of Hercule Van Wolfwinkle? I think you might appreciate his animal knowledge 😂
Giggling about the geese. I'm terrified of them!
We have a children's park called Story Book Gardens, it has little story displays such as Jack and Jill that went up the hill with a slide etc. My parents took myself and my little brother who was maybe 3 to the park and one of the geese chased him down the hill. Being 9 at the time it was the funniest thing I've seen! He was screaming, my mom was running after it, my dad was laughing. We had 5 geese growing up and they protected our chicken coop. They were the best, anyone or thing that came on the property that they didn't recognise they went crazy honking and carrying on to scare the visitors away. We even got them a kiddy pool to swim in during the summer, it was actually for my little brother but they soon took over with all their goose poop! lol
Hi Ali! I'm enjoying your vlogs! I always do!! 🥰 Can you tell me what podcast you were watching near the beginning today was? She was holding a white chicken. I enjoy seeing your projects in these vlogs. I'm crocheting the Call the Midwife blanket in a bright yellow called Sunshine. I'm also knitting Ellie's Country Garden socks in Sherry Iris yarn.❤
We have lots and lots of Canada Geese here in Charleston, South Carolina, USA as well. I was really surprised to see them in Kent, across the ocean!
Giant ducks ❤🦆
Love body butter, very nice gift. Lots of yarn to crochet❤
Hope you enjoy your Birthday Ali . I'm off all day Friday viewing multiple houses in the Cumberland area ready so we can make some decisions when we eventually sell.
Hi Ali 👋 I'm enjoying this year's April vlogs. Loved last year's too! What a lovely idea having a pre Birthday pressie to open every day on the run up to your Birthday. I may do it for myself next year and why not!😂. We share the same Birthday Date although I'm much older. I'm currently watching you on holiday in Lanzarote with my hubby as not only is it my 60th on the 19th, we're also celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. Happy birthday on Friday!🎉❤
I love how appreciative you are and how excited you gets - it's just lovely xxx
Maybe an Egyptian Goose on your lake at work ?
Hi Ali,i wonder if the duck you're referring to is a Mandarin duck. They are multicoloured 😃
You're not a doofus...😂😂😂... Love you, Ali! You're adorable. 🥰💖💕
I learned something-I had no idea that Canada Geese were common in Britain. I live in a state that borders Canada, and we have Canadian geese down here. We also are part of the breeding area for Common Loons. Their main breeding area is in Canada, but there are parts of the northernmost US that also have Common Loons. I have seen them on one of our nearby lakes. So...........do you have common loons in Britain?
Happy New Mushroom Bag Day for yesterday! 🎉 ❤I don't think the colourful geese/ducks/turkeys at work are real, need evidence 😅
Your dinner looked delicious and I really must try making the crispy kale. Hope you get the badges sorted, very frustrating for you 😊
Loving the daily vlogs 😊
What are Canadian geese doing in Britain, they travel south in the winter (from Canada to the U.S.)
Do you think they need travel visas?
Canadian people are very friendly- Canadian geese not so friendly!😊🇨🇦
The cemetery where my family is buried has both Canadian geese, white ducks with yellow bills and possibly mallard ducks…🎉
Barnacle Geese are very pretty black and white geese - maybe those are the ones 😊
Are you talking about Egyptian geese? They're beautiful. We have them at our local nature reserve ❤
Hi Ali once again a lovely vlog as always. You and Dan are so funny together and so sweet! The bag is really nice and definitely blanket size😀 and the smell of that cream was sublime😉( I actually sniffed. My husband thinks I'm nuts lol). Anyway love to everyone see you tomorrow❤
Morning,Lovely 👋You are never boring,Paula and yes,you have the most beautiful tree and cat to share.Get a good rest.Love your wiggle bags and that you wear "a uniform" when working.Take care👌♥️🐨🌏xx
Ooops🤭
😂 are you talking to Mrs D and UA-cam switched videos?!
Yes! Sorry, Mistress.😮Won't happen again, m'lady.Back to the scullery for me.🤭😉xx
I do apologize for our misbehaving geese...they can be annoying, buy they're ours... and we do like to share with our Commonwealth friends!😊
Giant ducks 😂😂😂😂 I love it!!!!
I'm wondering if the colourful waterfowl was a Mandarin Duck? They're very pretty
I love the new bag. Just right for a blanket. Are the geese at your work Egyptian or Hawaiian? I've seen both in London..
Hi Ali, love your vlogs. Can you please tell me where you got your pink tablet case from. 😊
Happy birthday, dear Allie, I rarely comment, but I was wondering if the geese at your work are perhaps Graylag Geese or Barnacle Geese? Also, you are not a duffus. You are brilliant and authentic. Thank you for being you!!
Oh my goodness, Lizzie's bag is gorgeous!
Thank you!!
The birds at your workplace could be Mandarin ducks as they are very beautiful and colourful? 😅😂 lovely vlog as usual, Ali 💛
Goodness you have done a lot of work and walking by 11.00am, there is no way I could do that.
Is the non-Canadian goose an Egyptian goose, Ali? (LOL ducks!)
It's so wrong! Sometimes I want to give you more than 1 thumbs up and I'm not allowed! It's just wrong....😅
For some reason your birthdays seem to come around ever so quickly…possibly due to the before and after gifts from all your many friends. Enjoy!
Love you two!! Super cute together - it’s easy to see you have a genuinely happy relationship 🤩
Sorry the pins were a fail. The birthday advent is such a special thoughtful treat. Awesome mushroom bag!! 🍄🍄
You and Dan are funny and precious!
Dodgy badges for dodgy bags 😂
❤
😂 surgically attached EarPods… why did my mind go immediately to Doctor Who and the cyber men! 🤣🤣 don’t accept any suspicious gifts of blinged out EarPods… 😉 or you’ll have to be saved by a skinny man in a brown suit…
Always a joy to watch.❤
🩲
Bet I’m not the only one who sniffed that body butter haha
You are lovely, Ali ❤. .and you are not a doofus..!.
Looking forward to your birthday vlog and that mushroom bag is so pretty. Lucky you..
