[@freubeltjehobby]

Hello ali i love your vlogs with or without make-up😘 You are a lovely person in and out for what i know from the vlogs and you have also a lovely family ❤️ Keep the good work👍 and nice vlogs going and thank you for giving me a smile and nice time to watch it. 🙏🏻 I have enjoyed watching today and i am looking for the tomorrow vlog. 😃

[@elaineray245]

Good morning Ali, just catching up with a coffee. How beautiful to see the snowdrops. X

[@catallsopp]

Awww that is the sweetest photo of you and Jenny! I always love sharing your days (and I'm also a huge fan of your other channel!), and I often think of you while noticing the little wonderful moments in the day. They're there, we only have to look! I'm enjoying a little catch up with these vlogs - thanks so much! Cheers xo

[@lorrainekrahn4498]

I think what I like about your vlog is enjoying all those little things… the knitting, tea, books, the cat and the chickens, the family everyday stuff just resonates.

[@elena---c1558]

I had such a busy week last week that I couldn't keep up with your daily vlogs, but that has turned out to be a good thing because I now have covid, and am able to cheer myself up by catching up on your vlogs. Lying in bed with some knitting and some tea with honey while I watch at the moment, covid's no fun but it could be worse 😄 Love watching you go for walks as always, as I am on the other side of the globe the shots of nature always get me excited for the seasons ahead to look forward to!

[@nadjas.4275]

Oh my - I laughed so hard when you said "Another acquired taste..." and looked towards Dan (out of frame) :-) - but you meant the cookies (of course). Have a lovely day and Happy Birthday Jennie!

[@jowatson2607]

The tree coming down was very dramatic! Ordinary daily vlogs are my favourite ❤ I don’t wear make up other than to work / going out out so you’ve made me feel better about that 😉 xx

[@lindacarson5429]

I was also excited to see you in Victoria's cat mug 😂 Loving your daily slice of life. The new table looks great. I thought the tree had fallen in the recent storms & was amazed that you managed to get it on camera 🙄

[@chrishutson7061]

Belated birthday wishes to your sister Jenny. I hope she had a lovely day. X x x

[@foreverchasingthesunsets5842]

OMGosh! Mia the cat is so adorable in the beginning of your video! I love how your vlogs make me slow down and appreciate the little things like nature, simple meals, lighting candles, a cup of tea, my knitting and reading books. Thank you Ali!! 🥰

[@virgenetyrrell2434]

I love your vlogs. I’m way behind, but I watch Victoria because you mentioned her awhile back. And you deserve to be in the cat mug. 😋

[@melaniedow6924]

Happy you were doing the vlog in January because every once everybody's done with Christmas blogs it's like January is so boring LOL

[@slavchick2602]

Love how Dan has become so comfortable making an appearance!

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

He’s such a show off 😂

[@christinephillips2069]

White chocolate digestive noooo it's wrong I agree with Dan the caramel ones are my favourite.😮

[@jackiemcleish5350]

Hello I’ve been a follower for quite a while but haven’t left a comment before but your chat about finding joy in the little things struck a cord . I was injured in a motorbike accident in 2022 and life is very different now I can no longer work and have a mobility problem , I’m having therapy for the PTSD and that has been this last few weeks about recording moments of joy , letting them creep in . If you haven’t already read it there is a poem titled Joy by a lady called Donna Ashworth and I think it gives new meaning to how we view joy . Thank you for the lovely vlogs you make me smile and bring me joy in the mundane ❤

[@bookfairy62]

There’s nothing better than a daily dose of you and your family. I have been a fan for years of both channels. My little drop of wonderful pin is one of my favorite treasures. I saw Victoria talk about you on her vlog and she’s right about this being a wonderful life blog. Thanks for spending so much time with us. 💜

[@CraftyTash]

I know what you mean about actually getting the stuff out of the house. I have stuff ready to go that's been hanging around for months!

[@debclements7605]

Love your little vlogs!! I found you by searching for tutorials on project bags! I immediately subscribed - you are a delightful person! 💕

[@paulacurran3135]

Watching your vlogs has cheered me up no end, winter is not the best season for me but your love of it has made me look at it with new eyes ❤

[@ericallerton809]

Loving these vlogs!!!Ali!!! Wow!!!you are walking🎉🎉🎉 Love tea and that cookie lood good ❤ Elaine ☃️ Love the new table

[@carlagarciaknits]

My mom got me Toast & Jam for Christmas. The Biscuit flavored one is my fav. lol. I love Yorkshire tea too!!! I’m an American who just started drinking -and liking tea - because of Yorkshire Tea - just the original and even the decaf are so delicious!!

[@veracanters5284]

I live in Bangkok, and declutterring is so easy here, I just put it outside my house and usually it’s snatched up by someone in 10 minutes 😊

[@margaretnorth7103]

I love the Toast and Jam tea; I have a large mug of it with my breakfast of a few grapes followed by Whole Earth Muesli with chopped Brazil nuts. My favourite meal of the day.

[@kathjones8314]

Loved the Lost Bookshop! couldn't put it down!

[@debs_SoggyBottom]

I'm with Dan, white chocolate digestives are WRONG! 😂

[@EvieO1950]

So glad you decided to treat us to a week of daily vlogs!!! Adorable shot of you and your sister!! ❤

[@yvonnedunning840]

I agree the white chocolate digestives are very nice añd all mine too

[@littlesammyf7380]

Awww the picture at the end is so cute!

[@bridgetryan6936]

Love the way you can eat one biscuit and be satisfied I wish I could do that love the vlogs

[@stitcht78]

The slow-mo sounds of the tree coming down freaked my cat out lol! Glad Mia was oblivious though. Love the new coffee table 🎉

[@margaretgerth1067]

Hi from British Columbia! Loving your daily vlogs and they definitely help me make the most of “the small things” in life. 2 audio books I just enjoyed (very different from each other) are: “Incredibly Bright Creatures” by Shelby Van Pelt, and “None of this is True” by Lisa Jewell. One of the narrators of the latter one is Nicola Walker and it was so well done. I’m 73 and only recently started using audiobooks. I was finding that reading (which I love ) was taking away from my knitting time, so now I do both! 😉

[@aprilsmith1166]

Ibelieve it is the oldest tree known to man in cultivation

[@gillfarrington5996]

Hi Ali, I discovered your little drops of wonderful channel early in 2023 and started watching this channel during vlogtober and havent missed an episode since. Thank you for your relaxed style and real-life content. I feel like it's a catch-up with a friend 😊 Dan and the girls are such fun to watch also. Enjoying this week vlog Gill x

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Love the new coffee table! I’d prop the girls painting on top of it ☺️

[@denisediauto9618]

Congratulations on your cat mug debut! You are the "purr-fect" choice! 😊 Happy Birthday to your sister Jenny! As a big sister myself, I think being grumpy is part of the family heirachy. 😊 Thanks Ali for your time and effort!

[@aprilsmith1166]

The Gingko biloba tree is also called the maidenhair tree due to the leaf beingb,the same pretty shape as the maidenhairvl fern

[@gillwoolley6515]

I found Victoria through you, and knew how pleased you would be to be in the cat mug. Victoria is brilliant. She's local to me so It's an added bonus when she goes book shopping.

[@melaniedow6924]

The Maine coast lady I recommend Asics for trainersI have to heal problems and they work great

[@vickifenlon2235]

Good to see you! I've been focused on reading this year more than watching vlogs and I've missed you. I've read 10 books this month. Tomorrow is the 1st of February and I'm well into my plan to read 50 books. I expect my total will be considerably more than that. I'm retired and live alone so nothing is stopping me…❤

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Wonderful! 📚📚📚

[@pennyspearing2731]

I love your new coffee table, take a photo of the scratch and send it to the company and I’m sure they would offer you some money back as compensation. A similar thing happened to my son with a sideboard he ordered but was happy to keep it. I’m now off to see you in the mug 😂 😊

[@jeanettegillings7202]

How deep is the scratch on the new coffee table Ali? If not too deep you could try a mixture of half cup cooking oil with half cup white or cider vinegar and rub into scratch with a micro cloth. Google told me that 🤓

[@jop5547]

Great little video. So glad you liked my recommendations last year. Well deserved being in the cat mug x

[@vickifeick3877]

Happy February 1st!! Have a great week! New furniture is always fun!

[@wendyluvsbooks6537]

Happy birthday to Jenny 🎉🥂🍾🥳…. And I love your videos about everyday life it’s just relaxing and good for the mind ….. I have tried that tea the jam and toast and enjoyed it we can get it over here in Australia ……📚💞📚

[@suecoles7824]

It really does all go on in your life Ali! 😂 yes I agree it sometimes does take effort to realise the joy in the mundane, sometimes it’s easier than others. But I love that you remind us of them, so very fond of you Ali and what you bring to us, glad that Mia made a brief appearance 😊 Love & Hugs Suze. 🐈🌳🧶🤗❣️ xxx

[@crochetcakes]

I’m with Dan. My hips don’t work. I greatly appreciate your daily vlogs and your book recommendations. I had purchased the lost bookshop in December but haven’t read it yet. Hope you find trainers that bring you warm fuzzy feelings.

[@nikkijohnston2891]

I saw you in the cat mug !!! I love Victoria and you deserved to be in there I love watching your channel x

[@sharonmacleod3829]

More pictures of the alpacas please🦙😍- I am afraid that white chocolate digestives are so wrong😱😱 Lifesaving for Beginners by Josie Lloyd is lovely feel good read 😄

[@Bub5257]

I just finished The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, thank you for the recommendation, I loved it. Then in today’s vlog you recommend an Aussie product I’ve never heard of, Lanolips, and I live in Australia 😱. I’ll be shopping for that tomorrow. Thanks Ali.

[@thelimeysretreat4976]

I’m doing the walking challenge but I’m quite a bit older than you and am currently recovering from a blood clot in my thigh so I won’t achieve that, I’m aiming for 500. It’s surprising how it adds up isn’t it? I did 48 miles last month which I’m thrilled about xxx

[@heathertucker7056]

You are so right to remember to look for those little bits of joy in every day! Love the new coffee table- you’ll soon fill up those drawers! You’ll have to let us know how many miles of your walking challenge you’ve accomplished so far! Take care x

[@ronnadelavergne9217]

Loving your hair! You are even more beautiful now with your bangs grown out. How is that even possible?! You have always been lovely, and care even more so now. 😊

[@kelipotter847]

I'm excited to watch this week of vlogs, I always enjoy your content!

[@IvymaeOriginals]

Thanks Ali 👍I'm off to find that lipbalm locally here in Australia... PS... I literally got goosebumps when you were in the CatMug! 🎉🙏📚🫶

[@theresepazell7875]

0:36 your coffee table is very nice new is nice. Your hair looks very nice.. walking is very good for everyone especially when your on a treasure hunt..Take care b safe chgo.ill.

[@jurrassitol15]

My mouth literally went 😮when you said you didnt like the biscuit brew Yorkshire tea! But as you said they are both an acquired taste…when i first brewed it i made it incorrectly…leaving it to brew as long as possible i found works the best…I’m addicted to both toast and jam and biscuit brew and I’m running out…but its so expensive here 😭

[@diannemassie2169]

I love the Toast and Jam tea got some when I was home to Aberdeen last autumn and had to buy some on Amazon last week. Going to stock up when I come home in March. Loved your walk today, I walk daily and did over 1200 miles in 2023

[@kendrawheeler314]

You're such a joy to watch Ali! I've been watching you during my morning workouts and you somehow get me through 😊

[@fleurday9438]

We just love you and your vlogs Alibobs - simple as that really :) x

[@GilliBryan]

The reasons you make your vlogs are the very reasons I love them so much. I gave a little squeak of delight when I saw you were doing them this week. 😊

[@berylwalker79]

So satisfying to organise. I’m currently satisfying my filing skills ( I was very popular in the offices I worked in) sorting my craft magazines (over a hundred🫣)and free gifts, 🤔😏. Hopefully the majority will get to the charity shop!!!😌☹️🤨😁. I love the toast tea and the biscuits one too. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

[@barbaramartin6837]

May you continue to look for the joy in everyday things. When you do this everyday it all adds up, and you will see it truly is a wonderful life.

[@janeoxley4829]

The coffee table is great, and like the drawers, also the light coloured wood ❤

[@xusblasco5563]

Happy birthday to Jennie!!! 🎂I can’ t believe you’re grumpy!!! Thanks, Ali 💖

[@hebulanebula]

I love purging the house. That’s what I did last weekend.. purged, and reorganized the basement . Making more space in my home, always makes me feel Free ! 🎉. Happy birthday Jenni🥳☀️🎶☮️💫

[@deborahking7873]

Yes I agree with you about finding the enjoyment in day to day life. So happy that you were in the mug. Do you really only eat on biscuit , I would have had at least 3. Love your walks❤

[@Beatts113]

Lanolips is fab definitely worth the price. Lovely vlog as per - thank you x

[@suedale1865]

I loved the photo of the young Ali & Jenny ( happy birthday Jenny ) 🎉

[@LouGreen-vd4ov]

Your beautiful vlogs inspire us!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful world with us!!! Happy Birthday to your sister!!!

[@kelliwaite7159]

Love your new coffee table!

[@jillbeck6531]

So happy to see you! After daily visits in October and December I've been going through withdrawal. On the This American Life podcast there is one from 31 January 2020 called the show of delights. It's about just what you mentioned, finding delight in small everyday happenings and things. If you can get it in the UK, I think you'd enjoy it. See you tomorrow!

[@browneyedgirlgb1308]

Loved seeing the snowdrops. Thank you for vlogging. Tx

[@melaniedow6924]

Just give you a recommendation for some great shoes trainers I guess you call them over there I'm from the Maine Coast. Can you say lobster

[@cynthiaricecindy8295]

I just love seeing your beautiful family.im glad you are doing videos this week.

[@abigailickringill1140]

I've used my nipple lanisoh in the past, the babies worked out what they were doing so I had a stash, might as well but it to use 😂 that was 100% lanolin too x

[@Gypsy-Bluebird]

Love the pic of you and your sis!! Coffee table looks fab too

[@SangoKSJ]

You just perfectly summed up my journey with decluttering, that is piles of stuff which at the moment is only decluttered in my mind 😌 the coffee table looks lovely! ❤

[@solofemalevanlifelessons4029]

Ali, if you have time, can you please tell me what a boot sale is? I don’t think we use that term in America, and I’m curious what it is. I enjoy both your channels so much - thanks! 😁

[@solofemalevanlifelessons4029]

Thanks, Julie. So do you sell items you don’t want anymore out of it!? Something we on America would cal a yard or garage sale?

[@sharonflowers5208]

Hi Ali, still wonky with vertigo over here but thank you for keeping me company, love your coffee table looks lovely, enjoyed your walk too. X

[@christineballard2916]

Hi Ali. I’m so pleased you have discovered Lanolips for yourself. I also use it and love it as it is more natural than the Vaseline lip balms I used to use. It is more expensive but well worth the extra cost. It lasts ages and now I would not be without it. Love your vlogs. Kindest regards from the Sunny Coast of Queensland ❤

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

I’m really liking it, it feels so much nicer than Vaseline and lasts longer. Plus it really works! 😃 sending hugs to the other side of the planet!

[@janeoxley4829]

Same here with decluttering, just in fits and starts.

[@nicolewalker3653]

Coffee table looks lovely Ali. Liking your daily walk s may I ask how long you go out for and how many steps do you do on. Average per walk if you track them? I love walking with my dog x

[@TheCatlady63]

I read the book you mentioned on wild swimmers last year too. We seem to have a similar taste in books.

[@jillfoster6369]

Love these joining you on your daily vlog Ali. Love them ❤

Thank you for the reminder to find joy in the little every day things. Your vlogs are little drops of joy Ali xx

[@GabrielleSaunt]

Try Millets, they have good offers.

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Are Millets still going? I used to love that shop!

[@GabrielleSaunt]

@@ThisLittleWonderfulLife Yes, they are still about. You might have to Google where in Kent they may be . They must be in Central London At least. You can buy on line with them.

[@rebeccacorser-wallace9885]

❤ I love the table. I would tell them about the scratch you may get some money back x

[@suzannesmart9790]

Lovely episode once again. I brought The Lost Bookshop last year but it’s on my TBR pile. At the moment I’m reading, on your recommendation again, Once Upon A River by Diane Setterfield. I managed to buy the book before I went on a long plane journey only to leave it on the plane 🥹 so I’ve down loaded it on Audible and am really enjoying it whilst I’m away . Thank you x
