The worst weekend 💔 Vlog

[@MaryR-cg7mf]

Dean - your Gran is a Legend. The bond that you had with her and that she had with you was phenomenal - the stuff of a great life. I will never forget when you came back to Scotland from the continent - when she spotted you - she couldn’t see you at first and then when she did, she burst into tears and just melted into your arms. That is one of the most touching things I have seen - and it perfectly embodied how much you two love each other - how united you are. When you lose someone that close to you, you really are a part of each other and you carry each other through the generations. That is your gift to your Gran - you carry on as a part of her. What a wonderful family - amazing and rare - the most precious thing there is. My condolences. What a lady.

Beauifully written.

Mit Oma das tut mir maßlos leid 😢😢 ich wünsche euch trotz aller Widrigkeiten ein schönes Weihnachtsfest 🎄soweit es eben geht , das wichtig ist daß ihr lebt und nichts schlimmeres passiert ist🙏🐈🎄❤️♥️💝💕

[@LauraBobowski]

After seeing that video is when I started following Nala and Dean. I, too, was so touched by their love (and later, by their adventures0!

[@MaryR-cg7mf]

@@LauraBobowski Yes, I quickly understood where Dean’s good nature, compassion and independence had come from! He was raised to be so respectful and to be good humoured by these women and it has paid dividends. Dean is at home anywhere in the world - he is able to relate to others so well.

[@shirleyn546]

Thank god Nala wasn’t in the van. Sending hugs

[@misstlc7136]

Oh that would be horrible

[@pamala2112]

My stomach drops every time Nala is left in the van. Unfortunately, there are people out there who are looking for money, attention or notoriety and are capable of horrible things 😢 I would prefer they have a much less recognizable vehicle and their whereabouts be undetermined until afterwards.

[@kimmig486]

So sorry to hear about your van getting broken into. You and nala are safe and sound that's important, your van can be fixed I know it's a big inconvenience to you all, so sorry to hear about your grandmother your mom needs you now ,bless you all and have a merry Christmas 🎄😻💖

[@joyfulhope4474]

Thank you for your comment. I saw the caption and my heart fell. I feared the worst. Then I saw your comment that Nala wasn't in the van. Oh, the relief I felt.

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your grandmother. We all are with you.

[@KellyAnn1997]

I STILL think about your sweet granny. I’m glad to have “met” her. I’m so sorry.

[@bonnienelson2361]

Oh Dean, that was a sad day when Gran passed away. You made her very happy. Gran was a treasure.

[@curtismagnuson9264]

My condolences Your Gran was wonderful person loved seeing her in the few vlog that she was in.

[@kikovazquez7277]

Greetings Dean. I've been away from your channel for awhile, but got back today to see what would have been a wonderfully upbeat and beautiful travelogue in Estonia had it not been co-opted by this pointless nightmare that was inflicted upon you and precious Nala. I had much to say but in light of it all, I just want to pass along my condolences for the passing of your grandmother. It's always great to see you and Nala - a reminder of how much beauty and decency there still remains in the world which seems to be having a universal nervous breakdown- you're a symbol of hope. I look forward to being around when you begin your travels through Scandanavia. Bless you and the magnificent Nala.

[@Delores-e9h]

Sorry for your loss Dean. She was such a treasure to watch. And the van gotten broken into, what a nightmare. Hope everything goes well for you and the family.❤

[@donnalister1244]

Oh my- my heart goes out to you (& Nala). Thank goodness neither of you were injured- other than the heartbreak of everything happening at once. Have a Merry Christmas & all the best for 2025. Looking forward to all the videos. Stay safe, Dean and your ‘Princess’.🇨🇦🎒❤️🎄

[@yoli_jvv]

It was bad enough that Nessie was broken into and some of your gear was stolen, but to then loose your Grans while you were dealing the van problems so that you couldn't get back to be with your family right away - what a nightmare! I'm just glad you and Nala are okay, but still. My heart goes to you, brother.

[@harmonypaticoff6600]

Oh Dean. I"m so very sorry about your van but even more sad that your granny passed away. I know you were very close to her. Sending my most sincere condolences to you and your family 😥♥

[@helenberglund6616]

We’ve been wondering where you’d gone. Last time you were about to enter Finland, Sweden, and Norway, if memory serves me right, - and we were very much looking forward to your updates. Sorry to hear about your Grandmother, taking a hiatus from otherwise unimportant things is highly understandable. But I can also say you are most welcome back, the two of you have been missed - very much so! 😊😊😊

[@MaryDoyle-k4t]

What a horrendous few days - in awe of how you handled it all. Lovely to have you both back 💞🌹🐾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Once again, in the sequence you came back to Nala into the room her voice and looks are sooo similar to my Siti, it is uncanny. Again, so sorry, your Gran passed. Hope, you all will be able to honour Grannys life by being aware, her place in your hearts will always be with you. So GNU Granny.

[@nct948]

Very sorry for your loss, she was such a loveable character. Just as the van got broken into also, such pain. Good to know you kept on travelling, probably the best thing to keep sane. I look forward to hearing how it went.

Hola Dean y Nalita. Qué alegría veros otra vez. Qué linda y cariñosa Nala. Es muy bonita la ciudad y las personas saludan cariñosamente a Nala. Qué vistas más bonitas, y Nala tan inteligente, lo observa todo. Como lo siento Dean. Vaya contratiempo y menos mal que no estaba Nala dentro. Eso es lo importante. Que estéis bien los dos. El cariño de Nala lo compensa todo. Que estéis bien es lo que importa. Oh, siento mucho el fallecimiento de tu abuela. A veces hay muy malas rachas en la vida. Era muy simpática y cariñosa. Que descanse en paz. Os queremos. Que paséis unas Navidades lo mejor posible dentro de las circunstancias actuales. Cuidaros. Un fuerte abrazo.

[@SimBianchi]

So sorry for your loss of your lovely Gran, and for the misfortune of the break in of your van. I am so glad that you and Nala are ok, and I look forward to watching your new vlogs. Take care, love you both!❤❤❤❤❤

Sad times. I heard tale of it in the comments back then. I'm glad your community was able to help out with the Van and Nala at that time.

[@Rachel-wp1yz]

If it doesn't rain, it pours Dean. So sorry your belongings were taken, but at least you are both safe.. Sorry too about your nan.. I hope she had a happy life x

[@anjaashdown6940]

Dear Dean, I was so happy to see you had posted, but so very sad to hear about your wee Granny's passing, and your troubles with Nessie. I'm grateful you and Nala are safe, and that you're looking forward instead of back. My Gran also passed in December, many years ago, and that first Christmas was especially brutal. I know we're all looking forward to your next posting. Huge Blessings to you and Nala, as well as your family.

[@juliefrench1594]

Sending you lots of hugs from Australia. Hope you and Nala have a Merry Christmas.

So sorry for the loss of your adorable Granny. Hugs and glad you both are safe. 💜

[@MichelleJones-p4e]

Dear Dean & Nala: First, so good to see you again. Second, it was a tremendous blessing that this terrible break in happened when sweet Nala was NOT in there; so much could have happened! Third, SO sorry this happened to your van! Such a violation of your personal space, especially when you thought Nessie would be safe. ❤️ Fourth, we’ve said it before but it bears repeating: sincerest condolences for your sweet Gran. She was such a delight! Hope your heart heals and your memories of good times with her fill your heart and mind. ❤️❤️❤️ Hope you and Nala and family have a peaceful & loving Christmas holiday together. When your back to traveling, sounds like you may be in Sweden soon. I lived there for a time and really loved the land, the people, the culture and the food. I’m sure you will too. God’s blessings upon you & Nala & your sweet Mum & family. ❤️❤️❤️🌹🎄

[@titasmom678]

Physical items can be replaced. You and Nala were lucky that you weren't in the van. I am so sorry you loss your Gran. She was an awesome woman. What we got to see of her in your videos and on Instagram was just a hint of the wonderful person she was.

[@1bike1world]

So true!

[@karasaunty9823]

I remember you telling us about this earlier this year (the break-in and the death of your lovely wee gran), but it hits different 'seeing it', if you know what I mean. I hope since then the thief has been caught and prosecuted, but it is a huge relief that neither you nor Nala were harmed. More importantly, though, I hope that you and your family are managing better now since the loss of sweet Granny Dean. Hugs to you all, and have a happy, holy Christmas and a guid New Year xx

My deepest condolences for you and your family at the loss of your Gran. I hope you know how we’re all thinking of you. I wondered about your absence and felt something not so good had to have happened. You’ve been missed. Crappy news about Nessie. I just don’t get people and the things they think it’s ok to do. I’m relieved you and Nala are good. Take care. It is good to have you back.
