Back again - listened to what you were saying about your audience and who they are. I am wondering if this might afterall be your 'unique selling point' - that you don't fit into one particular category. I also think that if you asked your You Tube audience why they watch you it might surprise you. There will be many different reasons. Personally I watch you because I like your authenticity, I like your accent and I like seeing your part of the country which I know very well but can't often get to ( I'm now in Yorkshire) but we used to go up your way alot en route to the North Link ferry to Shetland. I find watching your walks soothing, I like hearing Safiyah and the girls in the background and I love when you go to the beaches. It is uplifting to see your eyes light up when you talk about your green house and what you might grow. I love seeing what a great team you and Lee are and the fact that you are so happy when he's home. I love that you aren't particularly excited by being in the kitchen! I like the fact that you articulate the anxiety you feel about going out to socialise sometimes. AND I love when you show us where you are on holiday - those early morning caribbean beach walks were sublime. I enjoy when you pop down to Edinburgh to see your sister and I can see, for example, oh you're in Portabello (I've been back and forth to Edinburgh all my life as my mum was born there and relatives still live there) now. I loved watching you back in the old days and I missed you when you disappeared and was overjoyed when you returned. I am a primary school teacher and we are off today due to snow and ice so I have found time to type this. Most of your followers will, like me, have busy lives but I bet if they had time to tell you why they watch you would be so bloody proud of yourself. Have a great day Alison xx

I absolutely love your channel, your honesty and authenticity. I am 58 and follow your channels. I remember feeling acute pain as you talked about trolling and hate and did a very raw video of its affect on you and the family. I do not have children but am in awe of the amount you pack in. You are real and tell it how it is. I look up to you and what you do. Am sad that people feel the need to be nasty. Love the greenhouse ethos. My tortoise lives in mine but hope to grow some stuff so please share what you are up to. Cannot tell you how thrilled I was to hear Lee is going to work onshore. I now must stop rabbiting on. My resolutions are in Alignment with you. Keep being you cos the world needs you xx

Long time follower since about 2014! I love your content. So happy to see you back over the last year and settled back into KZbin again… I missed your vlogs! I like you because you are authentic, honest and relatable. I’m in Edinburgh and love it that you are Scottish based and when you visit here. I don’t think you need to change a thing. And as you say your routine will change over the coming months so we’ll be lucky enough to be a part of that and what it brings. Stay true to yourself that’s the important thing. Much love ❤️

I’m having adhd coaching and rejection sensitivity dysphoria is huge in my life, it affects me nearly everyday but I’m learning tools and strategies to manage this. It feels like your heart is in pain, the rejection you may face is so debilitating. Maybe look into it if you get chance. All the best for this year ahead, I love watching your content Xxxx

I know you’ve mentioned you suspect you have ADHD, have you heard of RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria)? It usually goes along side adhd and something I experience a lot, learning about it really helped me let go of the constant need to be ‘liked’ so it might be helpful for you too! Happy 2025 and so glad you’re back on KZbin whilst maintaining your own boundaries!! Xxx

Loved this, I relate to many of your Ins & Outs! Very invested in the Let Them theory myself, I have battled with the "heart on my sleeve" all my life and I wish it didn't exist sometimes so I didn't allow unnecessary chaos to filter through!! I'm getting a lot better at dealing with it through and worked hard on setting boundaries in 2024. It was challenging but now I will continue that work as I've felt more peace as a result. Look forward to more of your videos in 2025, I enjoy the sit down chats but also your fitness journey, vlogs and everyday content like grocery hauls / favourites videos. It sounds like you've found a really good balance overall, even with the added Ins & Outs. I always enjoy yours and Charlotte Taylor's channels on here, you are both so authentic and calming xx
