Lovely susan, it was an absolute pleasure and privilege to meet you this Summer. You are just a ray of sunshine to talk to... and give the bestest hugs. Sending you all my love. Always 😘😘❤️xxx

[@alisonjackson5814]

That must’ve been unpleasant ,& yes, you must be a bit savvy about your safety…. Stay safe and keep videoing as it keeps us all going through the dreary winter months. Xx

[@roadtrippingruth8582]

Hi Alison thankyou so much for your lovely words. Its been a tricky time, but I'm feeling braver now. Will keep pushing forward. Much love to you, wonderful lady 😘xxx

[@tonyflanagan5682]

Hi Ruth, great to meet you recently and we had a great and memorable night at the FS when it got interesting and you joined us (we will leave it there!). Hope you have a great out of season and keep the videos coming on Skiathos life. ATB

[@roadtrippingruth8582]

Wonderful news Sue! So glad you are coming back to the island again 🥰 I'm looking forward to seeing you again very soon. Sending you lots of love your way 😘xxx

[@steveblog1]

Oh Ruth, what a month August was as we've discussed at length over Insta. I'm so glad you're OK after the stalker incident. What a horrible thing to happen! All that said, I'm happy to see that you're still your lovely, smiling self. Stalkers and trolls, you can't bring this brilliant lady down so don't bother trying! Catch up with you soon - probably today actually 😁😁xx

[@roadtrippingruth8582]

Ahhh Steve, thankyou so much for all your ongoing support and words of wisdom. So appreciated. You have been an absolute rock ❤️. Yessss... speak to you very soon! Big hugs and love xxx

[@steveblog1]

@@roadtrippingruth8582 Never a problem Ruth. Doesn’t take any effort to be kind, does it? x

[@thehogester4302]

Ruth so sorry about what happened to you. You are a lovely person kind and caring. Don't let those trolls tell you otherwise. They are jealous that they don't have what you have in your life. Sorry I didnt get to meet up in May but perhaps next year in beautiful Skiathos. My son and his wife will be there this year in the last week in September and this will be their first time, Take care and enjoy your time in Skiathos. xxx

[@roadtrippingruth8582]

Thankyou so much for your kind words. Honestly really appreciated. I really Hope to meet you next year. I will be returning to the Final Step 😊. I hope I get to meet your son and daughter in law. I'm sure they will love this island as much as we do ❤️. Sending you lots of love your way 😘xxx

Hi Ruth, wondered where you were, just thought it was crazy busy because of high season. It’s Hayling Jan (and steve) here, we come out on 18-29th, and can’t believ our holiday os finally here yay, what date does the final step close please? Now then Ruth, you are so genuine and we’ve not met yet, but you seem like one of life’s treasures, and I am so sorry you’ve had such disconcerting things happen to you, through no fault of your own, but due to other peoples misconceptions and hard hearts. You have done absolutely nothing wrong in any way, and why shouldn’t you be able to vlog on you tube, without trolls and loons chasing your tail. You are strong, keep your chin up, and may you go where your heart leads you in the future. Wherever or whatever you do i pray it will be because it is what you want to do, rather what you feel you should do because of other people’s actions or words. Sending love and strength your way, and will keep you in my prayers, Jan ❤️🙏🏻😘😊

[@roadtrippingruth8582]

Oh Jan, what a beautiful message ❤️ thankyou so very much for taking the time to write this. Your words are so appreciated. Oh my goodness, it's not long at all until you are here on the island! Have yiu dusted off your suitcases yet?? Please let me know if you get a free hour or so when you are here, I would love to meet for coffee and a good natter. The Final Step closes on the 1st October, so we can definitely sort you a lovely table 🥰. Take care and sending you and Steve lots of love your way....see you soon 😘😘❤️xxx

[@happyJan2516]

@@roadtrippingruth8582 Oh Ruth I always smile at your replies because you so genuinely seem to appreciate people’s comments. Just you remember there are lots of people around you who care, it sure looks like you have made many friends in Skiathos. With a potential 2 more arriving soon lol 😊. Suitcases are coming out of hibernation tomorrow woohoo! I will certainly be in touch and if we can meet for a cuppa that would be great (waiting for a date for sailing trip to be confirmed, treat for my 60th ⛵️). Really hope to see you soon xx

I'm feeling so much brighter and stronger ❤️ thankyou so much for asking xxx

[@paulcarnall791]

We will be hiring a small jeep or something similar. Would we be able to drive up to the final step restaurant?

[@roadtrippingruth8582]

Hi Paul, you are able to drive up to the Final Step, but there is no parking available I'm afraid. Its a heavily congested area with residential parking. So happy you want to come visit the restaurant 😊😊

[@alisonjackson5814]

Park at the end of the port- behind the Alkyon Hotel.. it’s a short walk from there. Ruth did a video earlier in The summer of which way to walk up. (It’s short but steep.. but worth it!)

[@djfrenchman]

I hope I wasn't a weirdo when I payed you a visit in July. ;-) My wife and I think you are great! Dave Rocketship

[@roadtrippingruth8582]

Hi Dave! It was an absolute pleasure to meet you! Shame I was busy as it would have been lovely to chat longer! Next year we'll do coffer and have a proper natter! Sending you both lots of love your way 😘😘xxx
