We’re back with Home Vlogs, wooo! Big thanks to HelloFresh for the discount code again! 👉 www.hellofresh.co.uk/BROGAN60HF 💚

[@shenazpatel8195]

I have been debating about hello fresh... I can't resist 60% off!!! Thanks Congrats!!! My heart broke when I heard about your little fur baby Bonnie!!! I couldn't stop crying!!!❤❤❤

[@garyc]

I’m glad you loved your Bonnie art. Love you both xx

[@brogantatexo]

LOVE it. Thank you again x

[@juliesmith9097]

Your very talented Gary,it was a beautiful and thoughtful gift 💖

[@joannewilliams41]

Gary you are the best 🥰xx

[@melsimcoe4067]

Gary you are so kind and talented. I love the videos you and Adam do, I love your friendship ❤

[@Benandmycat]

Beautifully done, such a thoughtful gift !

[@abbyonyoutube]

I thought I was here for the travel vlogs but then I watched your last catch up, cried with you about Bonnie despite just 'meeting' all of you in Feb, and now I get so excited to 'hang out' with you and Benji like ma'am where did you come from?! Your joy is infectious and your vibe is immaculate (I love Benji's love for UK history and I can't wait for him to nerd out on your UK road trip). I'm so happy the algorithm introduced me to your content and love all your adventures, big and small!

[@rowanasomething5335]

You guys discussing the surname Lever made me think of: "Pull the lever Kronk! WRONG LEVER!"

[@conor.delaney22]

A Brogan and Benji vlog is such a great way to settle down after a long day. Glad you’re both settling back to normality. Can’t wait to see the UK Trip vlog it’s going to be awesome. ❤

[@biancataylor1986]

I love your channel. I love the picture of Bonnie. And congratulations again on getting married

[@alittlerosylife6614]

Been looking forwards to this all day! Absolutely loved your cruise series, but you can’t beat a good home vlog too 😍😍

[@brogantatexo]

Yay! Thank you! They are some of my favourites too xx

[@ruthhall2721]

Gotta book afternoon tea at The Witchery when you’re in Edinburgh, you’ll both love it 🥰xx

[@SamanthaN92]

It feels strange not seeing Bonnie in your vlogs. She will be missed ❤️ Glad to see you're both back home safe 💕

[@Benandmycat]

The Thai curry looks good, loving your research into your ROAD TRIP stays!

[@alysbetsanjones1458]

LOVE a home vlog. Why is it so therapeutic watching cleaning/tidying!?

[@melsimcoe4067]

Its great to see you both settling back and sorting things out. Benji great DIY skills on the bathroom. I love your videos i watch every one ❤

[@emilyjane1496]

Loved this home vlog. My family and I loved Edinburgh and stopped in an Airbnb for a week. There's so much to do but I highly recommend walking down the main high street from the Edinburgh castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse which goes past the Cathedral (it's worth going into) - it's called the Royal Mile. Lots of delicious coffee shops too.

[@LisaE239]

We smashed last vlogs last night - 🙌🏼 now I’m not a techy person but if your followers see this nominate Brogan for the bcreator awards please! You deserve it both you and Benji 💕🤩

[@inkyfingeredcat]

Gary’s art of Bonnie is so lovely

[@rach5516]

This has taken away my Monday blues xx

[@toobydude41]

I feel literally "at home" with you two, it's not even funny. Am sure I'm not alone in that sentiment here. Great job on the bathroom Benj! Looks awesome! Love you guys so much

[@classicashley3925]

Use the little Mickey or hotel toiletries up within the year you get back. I keep a little bin in my bathroom and every once in a while I pull out sample size or “special” toiletries to use.

[@timothyhunt-gibbon7828]

I love all of your vlogs! I discovered you through Tea with Gary C and have been hooked ever since. Your vlogs take me away from the stress of daily life as well as teach me lots. Rather than say everything in my first comment to you, I will say just a couple of things. Bonnie was blessed to have her two perfect humans in you and the mister. If you want an idea of what to do with all your miniature lotions, soaps, etc from Disney and other places - shelters and food banks are great places to repurpose these type of items.

[@emmag6255]

Ahhhhh, absoloutely loved this vlog ❤

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Hey sweetie 🤗 so lovely to watch a home vlog with you both. I love how the little toilet room has turned out 😊 I cannot wait to watch the haul video on Thursday 😊 I have a feeling it’s going to be a long one 🩷 xxx

[@romeleon3286]

I was like Noooooo not the Mickey bottles🥲🤣😂

[@Brightangel55]

Oh, the pin board is a great idea ! I've been wondering where they all go - that's such a clever way of decorating with your travel momentos 😀🩷

[@Short_and_tweet]

Oh love the idea of having boxes for organizing all the travel toiletries! Gonna steal that idea

[@brogantatexo]

Yeeeess!

[@laurajane1900]

Freeze the Thai curry paste in ice cube trays and once frozen transfer the cubes into a freezer bag then defrost as needed. Saves wasting it!

[@pernillewarren8134]

You Two allways make me smile. Thank you for sharing❤❤❤

[@lilyellens1796]

I find your home vlogs so cosy and comforting - snuggled up in bed with a not drink watching this one. I'm also on a declutter kick - made a big dent but still more to do! It is very satisfying 😊 Can't wait for the haul!

Actually think the different coloured pin board is ideal for your world cruise pins to differentiate it 😊

[@CJ-bs7zl]

It’s nice to see you back. I’ve just had abdominal surgery and I’ve been feeling a bit low and down. Your vlogs make me so happy. Especially the homey vlogs. So motivating. I’ve decided to book a staycation for when I’m better to Cornwall. ❤.

[@brogantatexo]

Sending you so much love and a speedy recovery!

[@meg8081]

If you need a place to stop between Cambridge and York, please give Lincoln a try! The cathedral is beautiful and all the little shops on steep hill are great. Recommend the tapas place close to the cathedral and a local spa called Eden Hall which is gorgeous. York you'll love, Little Italy restaurant is delicious and we always stay at Travelodge Central Layerthorpe as it's a short walk and includes free parking unlike many York hotels

[@lizevans257]

Hi Brogan and Benji just catching up on your vlogs , the afternoon tea at The Captains club is absolutely gorgeous, my hubby surprised me for my birthday last month and booked the champagne 🥂 one xxx ❤❤

[@sapphirex27]

So sorry I am late commenting on your loss of Bonnie and sorry to mention it, but she really was the dog of dreams, and I said once she was my favourite breed of dog and if I ever had one, I hoped he or she would have Bonnie's beautiful personality. What an incredible dog she was and everyone will always have fond memories of her with her wonderful mummy and daddy going on all the UK staycations! Thank you for always sharing her with us. Sending so much Love to you and Benj xxxxx

[@katiemarsh8855]

I am so glad to watch another home vlog after going back to rewatch your old ones ❤

[@carlasalter2384]

Although I loved the cruise vlogs, there’s something so nice about the home vlogs that I’ve missed! X

[@matth0dgson]

With the different colour board you should put it in the centre so it stands out as your world cruise board❤️

[@meganbush_xxx]

This brightened up my Monday 🥰💗

[@Adinski83]

Really relaxing vlog to start the week

[@lisabarry8738]

Hi guys,nice to have the home vlogs back…..nothing like a good clear out & refresh!!!….looking forward to seeing your next haul vlog and seeing what you picked up on your travels xxx

[@lisabatchelor5659]

I love your home vlogs & I love a tidy up/declutter one too! Your UK road trip sounds like its going to be great fun . ❤

[@clarejohnson-graham]

You certainly got through some stuff! Very enjoyable. 😊🥰🥰🥰

[@sarahlewis4090]

Love a good declutter! ❤

[@blue-pf9gb]

[@happymum902]

Love love love everything about you two. 💖💖

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you! Xx

[@BMEvs]

Love a home vlog! Can’t wait for you to visit Cambridge! I’d love to share some recs for there too - if you’re driving definitely park on Madingley Road on the park and ride as the bus & parking is much cheaper than parking in the centre and the buses are super frequent too!

[@sandramaloney4830]

I loved this vlog! You both are so entertaining and have great ideas ! Xx

[@lesleyblaikie7031]

Love a home vlog - Gary C present made me teary xx

[@deannemoore94]

[@rochellewelshfam]

Yayyy!!! Cannot wait to watch. Hope you are both good too 😘xx

[@brogantatexo]

Thanks Rochelle! Xx

[@BethCody]

Just wanted to say how comforting I find your vlogs. I've only been subscribed since your Hong Kong Disney vlog but I've been going through a lot recently and going through you channel, watching your cruise and Disney vlogs in particular have been so lovely. Especially as I'm going to Disneyland Paris in August (I commented on insta! Just missing the Olympics) so your vlog from when you go in June will come at just the right time. Already excited, but it will definitely make me more so! Can't wait to see more vlogs❤

[@MichelleWolfs]

This was such a fun and chill vlog, loved it!! Can't wait for the cruise haul💕

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you Michelle xx

[@elaine4498]

My favorite city in the UK is Edinburgh. Great video

[@KellyR456]

This was so wholesome, I’ve missed these videos. ❤

[@hollyjoiner-mason3324]

[@brogantatexo]

[@samanthamiley8134]

I'm not done watching yet but I would love to see you guys go on a Disney trip with Catherine and Dean!

[@coricross682]

Hey guys! Welcome home! Loved this! Love catching up with you & Benj! Lots of love!

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you!!

[@etholleg]

Good to have you 'back' ❤

[@brogantatexo]

[@abimay8321]

So excited to see your Glencoe vlog, we're eloping there in October so looking forward to any recommendations!

[@lisadurban3525]

I am looking forward to seeing the haul. All your trips are great.

[@sophiawitkowski1082]

Cannot wait for this video love all your videos thanks for sharing x

[@brogantatexo]

Thanks for watching Sophia! xx

[@kiranrafi44]

Amazing vlog, 😊

[@Julieblake2909]

I do love a home vlog but, let’s be honest I love all your content 🤣

[@natalieanne444]

Really enjoyed this vlog , love your home vlogs . Look forward to all your vlogs . Your downstairs bathroom looks lovely ❤xx

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you! Xx

[@deirdrekelly1767]

Lovely to see you back home. I so enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work! D x

[@HCM1986]

Watching your wonderful life from South Carolina! I started following during your cruise and now I’m enjoying your home vlogs! I love your content!

[@brogantatexo]

Aww thanks so much!! xx

[@annettestephens7107]

A lovely cosy vlog Brogan ❤ love the bathroom can’t wait for the Uk Road trip xx

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you!! 😊

[@dellastamp]

It’s very satisfying to watch you declutter and organize. On another note you seem different since you got married. You’re more relaxed and yourself if that makes any sense.

[@stinajones9847]

Love the bathroom! And I can't wait for your UK road trip. It sounds like it is going to be amazing! ❤

[@brogantatexo]

Thanks lovely! xx

[@rdmmama]

It’s been so long this video feels nostalgic 😂❤️ 2:20

[@jessicacallaghan4853]

Lovely to see a weekly vlog x we fully recomend hole in the wand in York for a bit of mini golf fun xx

[@so7carie]

Love the home vlog, but really looking forward to your UK road trip. The joy of the trip starts with the planing. Bet you are both excited!

[@brogantatexo]

Aww thanks, we can't wait to share it! xx

[@ashleigharlette8958]

Loved this so much ❤❤❤

[@brogantatexo]

Thanks Ashleigh!

[@karenmyring5478]

We’ve been using Hello Fresh for a couple of months after we used one of your voucher codes - we love it! So tasty and it’s helped us with portion control. When they first arrived I didn’t think the portions would fill us, but they are more than enough and made us realise that we were overeating pasta previously. Also my husband wasn’t a confident chef, but he follows the instructions and it’s really helped me out having him be able to cook at some mealtimes.

[@brogantatexo]

I love that! I agree, the portions are perfect size and I love that your husband had gained confidence through HelloFresh!

[@sophhmclaren812]

Love your home vlogs. I bet you were so relieved to have hello fresh. It’s so hard to think what to cook every night especially after a cruise! I didn’t realise Catherine was also in York! Hope I bump into you. Can also share some recommendations when the time comes (and some for Edinburgh as well) looking forward to seeing what you get up to ❤ can’t wait for the cruise haul and to see your pinboard done!

[@amandachecketts4375]

Camera Obscura in Edinburgh is a must....

[@victoriacarr2398]

Second this

[@kateleatherbarrow4502]

For your trip...you would love the Peak District. So much to see and do, but you could stay in Bakewell, which is full of great shops and food places, and has the lovely riverbank. Market day is great. Then one day explore Chatsworth, you can picnic in the grounds, and even Haddon Hall too, they've been in many shows/films. Next day try Hathersage open air pool and wander around Padley Gorge/Longshaws or visit Eyam, the famous plague village, actually a really cute place.

[@louisepoole_x]

Benji talking about spelling his surname all the time made me laugh as I've had to learn to do that too since I got married. For years I've listened to my now husband say "Poole, P double O L E' and now I'm in the habit of doing it too 😂 when we visit America they think we're saying 'Pearl' with our Northern accents so it can get a bit confusing!

[@wendyluvsbooks6537]

Love your videos ❤ bengi ‘s chicken wraps look so good …..brogan are you going to do a wrap of books you have read like on the cruise and since you have been home or books you are going to read would love to see that 📚💞📚

[@christinamaya777]

This was a wholesome and motivating vlog! I’m the same as you, I’m sentimental and keep way too many bits and bobs… time to declutter! 😂❤

[@creativereindeer]

Also big love for HF … and also forget ingredients even though there are so few steps!! Lovely home vlog and guessing Edinburgh is pricey coz of the fringe on at that time but could be a fun vibe!! I also hadn’t been around the UK much and then worked in production for a BBC show that had me on the road filming stuff all the time and I felt a new appreciation and respect for the place!! I became very familiar with the M6 Toll!! All the best with the planning!

[@lifewithkayleyphoenix]

Your road trip sounds like its going to be fun! Id love to go to Scotland to see the Highland cows 😍

[@karenfarr1335]

Brilliant x

[@hollyashman4292]

Thank you for this vlog! Just love your home vlogs! Also your hair looks lovely how it’s framing your face at the front! Love it ❤

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you Holly! xx

[@lib7149]

currently watching while in revising! Love these videos so much, currently training to be cabin crew, should graduate next week! love listening to these in the background 💕🛩xx
