Hello my friends! How have you been? Back with a mini Lanzarote vlog. Apologies but it is a little windy in parts as it's a very windy island. We had such fun. Sad to be back but happy to be start filming some lovely summer homey fun for you. What would you like to see? Have a gorgeous day. The sun is out here! x
I am enjoying the vlog. First time visiting your channel. This is a wide balcony ! I love balconies. Especially when on holiday in a tropical place. 🌴🌴🌴🌴🥥🥥🥤🍹🍹🌴
Looks like you all had a lovely time away! Really enjoyed this vlog and hearing about your reading recommendations! I loved the flat share too tiffy and Leon were just fab! Xxx
Hi Emma, you actually cracked me up when you were showing the tiki bar items !!!!! Of course we think of you when we see those things ha ha , just imagining Margot on the surf board !!!!! xxxxx
Thanks Emma. Loved seeing around lanzarote. Never been there but would love to go someday. Lays crisps are a holiday must no matter where in the world they seem to be available. 💕
Lovely family holiday 😊 thanks for sharing bits of it, love your bag! Also that’s a brilliant idea to take a wash basket on hold with you il definitely be copying that idea
Also Elin Hildebrand books are all great! The author uses a lot of the same characters from the island in her books which is fun! Easy to read but has made me fall in love with Nantucket!
Loved this Emma. You picked some nice jewellery and bits and bobs on holiday. Erin’s bag looks good and no one would know if it’s real or not . Very posh! Love the ankle bracelets , did you manage to get one Emma? I bet Margo is happy to have you all home again. Looking forward to seeing your stationary and bits and bobs organising haul. 😊💚🖊✏️🌸🪴😎🐶🏖
Watching this whilst by the pool in Lanzarote! I’ve been coming here for about 13 years, met my current partner here. It’s like a second home, we’re so grateful to be back ✨
Emma next time you go away can you vlog a little if the food you get at breakfast/lunch/dinner so we could get an idea. Looks a lovely place. Loved seeing the shops and market xx
Love that moment when you were all excited bout the crabs. Currently in florida and we keep seeing racoons and wild rabbits in the parks and our resort. And even 2 weeks in, my son is still so excited every time he sees a little lizard!
Hope you enjoyed Lanzarote. I used to go to there every year when I was younger and love Playa Blanca and Marina Rubicon, this vlog brings back great memories!
Emma, check out Elounda in Crete for your next family sun holiday. You will love it, small Greek town with no night clubs but loads of fab restaurants and lots of little shops. Fly into Heraklion. Stephen would be in heaven!!
When we went there on a cruise and went on a camel. Getting on and staying on was fine but getting off is another matter. 🤣🤣I always take my own green tea bags. xx
I enjoyed your vacation vlog! I’ve had three kindles, the last two being paperwhites. The paperwhite is the best ever! I had stopped reading in bed before going to sleep because my bedside lamp didn’t cast enough light for my eyes and I couldn’t read for any length of time, but with the paperwhite I can adjust the light to a comfortable brightness and it doesn’t hurt my eyes and I can read much longer. I don’t know how it is in Britain, but in the US we can download books from our local library as well.
Oh my gosh half way into your blog and you went to ale hop I LOVE LOVE LOVE ALE HOP. I’m going back Tenerife in September can’t wait to spend my wages in their
Ale hop is one of my faves! I also love Muy mucho, Womens Secret and Oysho (best pjs and sportswear) and The Mint Company (if you are after splurging on a handbag…). Not sure if they have them all on Lanzarote but some of my favourite haunts on my yearly jaunt to Tenerife! Also Fanta Limon is a holiday essential!
The shop you liked is Ale Hop, very common on any Spanish high street and you can spot it because it always has a life size fake cow by the door, weirdly 😂
I love the same kinds of books as you, Emma! I would suggest Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey. That book also has a sequel that I'm excited to read!! Also, The People We Met on Vacation by Emily Henry is fab. Looks like you had a wonderful vacation. Love to you and your fam!
Hi Emma! Glad you enjoyed it! Lanzarote is such a beautiful island…we’ve been going for many years, since I was little ♥️ We’re going back again next week…we now stay In Teguise which is so laid back and less busy than other resorts ♥️ This video has got me so excited! Currently washing everything ready to pack! xx
Loved this vlog, what a lovely holiday. I'm doing a readathon for Alzheimer's Society this summer and so these are my book suggestions from that: The Telephone Box Library by Rachel Lucas It Started With A Secret by Jill Mansell (one of my favourite authors as well as Jenny Colgan) The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender Get a Life Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert Walking on Sunshine by Giovanna Fletcher The Cornish Cream Tea Bus by Cressida McLaughlin
Ooow it all looks so lovely there. I don’t like sitting on the beach or around the the pool but it looks like there are loads of great shops, markets and gift shops there. I love Erin’s ‘ real ‘designer handbag she got for 12 Euros. Did you go to the Theme park on the boat in the end for a day trip ? Wellcome back home now to our still sunny country. I wonder when it will rain again here?
Anything by Marian Keyes is awesome, I duplicate copies of some of her books so I have physical copies and kindle versions, also Chasing Daisy by Paige Toon is one of my faves
Book (chick lit) recommendations : anything by Heidi Swain, Milly Johnson and Bella Osbourne. I'm reading My Kind of Happy by Cathy Bramley atm, I recommend that too 👍
Loved this vlog we are going to lanzarote next week with the kids. Could you help me, do felt tips and pens need to go in the liquids bag at the airport? Thanks xxx

Jambon Ruffles though! Classic holiday snack
Good vid. I agree 100% on the Lays; and has to b red. X
Emma you MUST read the un-honey mooners! I absolutely loved it and there's a few laugh out loud moments!x
Love the red lays crisps x
I’m heading to Lanzarote on Aug 20th so this had made me extra excited 😆 x
Oh my gosh! Jealous.
Erin has such a cool little fashion sense!!
I have that make up bag!!! Love it. X
I enjoyed your vacation vlog! I’ve had three kindles, the last two being paperwhites. The paperwhite is the best ever!

Ohh can you? I will look into the library. That’s amazing!
Oh my gosh half way into your blog and you went to ale hop I LOVE LOVE LOVE ALE HOP. I’m going back Tenerife in September can’t wait to spend my wages in their

So glad you loved lanzarote I’m now 29 days and counting
Amazing!

Amazing!
Ale hop is one of my faves! I also love Muy mucho, Womens Secret and Oysho (best pjs and sportswear) and The Mint Company (if you are after splurging on a handbag…). Not sure if they have them all on Lanzarote but some of my favourite haunts on my yearly jaunt to Tenerife! Also Fanta Limon is a holiday essential!
FACTS
The shop you liked is Ale Hop, very common on any Spanish high street and you can spot it because it always has a life size fake cow by the door, weirdly 😂
It’s so lush!
Brought back memories of when I went to Lanzarote in 2003 🙂. One author you may enjoy is called Lucy Diamond. X
I love the same kinds of books as you, Emma! I would suggest Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey. That book also has a sequel that I'm excited to read!! Also, The People We Met on Vacation by Emily Henry is fab. Looks like you had a wonderful vacation. Love to you and your fam!
