Vlogmas 2023 ~ Day One ~ Getting Decorated 🎄

[@santatherese]

Just started on your vlogmases now - not because I’ve prioritised others, but because I always enjoy your company no matter what you get up to. Please don’t worry about length of episodes! 😊

[@beverleyswallow2458]

Make it as long as you like, we love it! Hope Bill's OK. Always worry no matter how old they are.xx

[@talesfromcuckooland]

He is fine! He got back very late but he is ok 👌

[@mariemartin382]

You will always be worth watching Gayna xx

[@talesfromcuckooland]

You are so sweet. Thank you xxx

[@stitchitch7010]

We've had a couple days at -7° a week after a couple days at 21°. Talk about a weather roller-coaster!

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Gosh that’s quite a range to bounce between. X

[@bythelakeside]

Gayna, I laughed out loud when you tripped.... I love your sense of humour. And your crochet shawl....OMG!!

[@caitlanjohnstone2272]

Happy Vlogmas, lovely!! Swearing on day one, I love it! I don't mind watching longer vlogmas episodes, especially when they are yours. Thanks for taking the time to record and put your videos up x

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Thank you! I managed to get this one down to under 12 mins which I believe is a good length? Vlogmasses I watch…I don’t have time for them all on December so I carry some through to January. I’ll deffo mention them throughout Vlogmas as they pop into my head but for starters here are a few: Stitches by Mrs D, This Little Wonderful Life, Green Lambkin. But there are bound to be more but I haven’t seen who else is participating this year.

[@cynthiaspear-duncan7661]

You are one of my favorites. You are beautiful, funny and real

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Wow, thank you! Thats an accolade that’ll be hard to live up to. Hope I don’t disappoint. Thank you so much for being here xxx

[@ArtCroneO]

Would not miss your vlogmas Gayna - you’re my favorite every year! ❤

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Wow wee! Thank you for such a compliment. It boggles me you’d say that but I’m delighted. I like a lot of praise you see 😅

[@TrudySchwartzBurrill]

Gayna, First off Happy Christmas. Im just getting to starting your vlogmas. Wouldn’t miss catching up with you. I watch many on into January. I try to watch as many as I can of the people I regularly watch. Som,e only do Vlogmas. So it’s a mixed bunch but it’s not Christmas without them. I got my first advent this year. It’s lovely so far. I got Ginas from Skein Cocaine Ziggy Stardust 2023 Advent. Im mad about David Bowie and that was all it took. It’s days seven so my comments may never be seen.

[@jopicklelily]

Always watch you! Xxx 🎄🎄🎄

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Your the loveliest 🥰

[@Sew_Over_50]

Hello. New subscriber- first time watching your vlog. I found it through another vlogger named “So Andie sew”. I was immediately hooked. I had to reach out to say that I had a Pomeranian who had bad breath. I didn’t think much of it thinking it was the food he eats. Turns out he had a few badly infected teeth. After it was removed, it all went downhill. We discovered the infection spread down to his system and he developed a tumor. Unfortunately it was too late for treatment and lost him. I learned that even “man’s best friend” need a trip to the dentist at least twice a year. Wishing you and yours a happy & healthy new year!

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Hello and welcome! Andie is a sweetheart, I love her channel. Margo has the typical toy poodle mouth so she has to see the vet at least once a year for a deep scale and polish. She has been having teeth removed for the last few years too. I felt dreadful but apparently it’s really common in tiny mouthed dogs. Thank you so much for caring enough to reach out and share your experience. I’m so sorry you lost your sweet dog, teeth problems are so common in small dogs because you can’t effectively clean their teeth. X

[@excellent136]

💕♥️Yay !!! 🔔🌲 So so happy to find your Vlogmas !!!♥️ (I’m late in the comments but hopefully you will still see this Gayna) I just wanted to say that I really hope you don’t shorten or modify your videos in any way, shape, or form. Don’t worry about the other Vlogmas’ out there as we are here for YOURS. 💕P.S. Loved the candle lights, your lovely new jumper… All of it !!! 😊 Thank you !!

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Hello hello! Welcome back 🤩🤩 It seems my videos all end up roughly the same length no matter what I do 🤣

[@excellent136]

⁠@@talesfromcuckooland Perfect and excellent then!! 😂It means I don’t need to worry!! 🥰👍

It was minus 6 here in Tarporley this morning, we had some snow in the afternoon which sadly didn’t stick…I love the snow:) I’m only following 2 others vlogmassessssss…make yours as long as you like! x🎄

I look forward to you Vlogs Gayna. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your world. -3 degrees ... goodness! It’s going to be 30oC in Melbourne tomorrow (but we do get 0 degree mornings in winter and colder in the outer suburbs). Your shawl and your new jumper are lovely. Stay snug.

[@yvetteduffy8567]

Oh Gayna... so lovely to see your vlogmas starting.... we lost our 14 year old Boarder Collie Reilly on Thursday over the rainbow Bridge now ... had a great long life but gosh it's really empty here with out him , watching your vlog was like a really big hug and warmed my heart so look forward to catching up with you and your lovely family xxxx❤❤

So many vlogmas videos this year that I shall be watching well into next year but really won’t miss yours Gayna! Always love to catch up with you all and see what you’re up to! Take care love WW xx

[@leahdonais934]

Love watching your vlogmases, you're the first I click on (and I have a huge list ;)) I don't normally comment as I watch on the TV while knitting in the evening, but I had to come on the computer and see the comments if anyone else was wondering if Bill made it back alright. Glad to see all's well!

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Oh my! The first you click?! Gosh I’m feel 10 feet tall! Thank you. I really should have said that Bill was fine, the school transport got held up and I’m a worrier. Xxx

[@jillbeck6531]

I only watch you and Ali in Kent. That's because I love your styles and I watch you both year round. I've tried others but they aren't as interesting as you two are! Thanks for filming and I hope Bill got home okay. 🎄

Thank you ☺️, I’m glad you like them. I did well with editing to get this one under 12 mins which is sort of the sweet spot for a vlog, or so I’m told. Xx

[@govidgordana2293]

I would never miss your Vlogmas! There’s enough time for all the vlogmases🤗🎄💕

[@flourchylde]

Gayna, yours is one of the two vlogmasses that I still watch. There just aren't enough hours in the day to watch them all. I'm still in the midst of decorating and tomorrow we are going up on the mountain to hopefully cut a massive tree. I know yours is fake, but it's so, so lovely. I wish I could convince my hubby to change over to an artificial tree but he won't go there.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

I’d much prefer a real one! Apparently as long as I keep this one for over 10 years it is considered as sustainable as a real tree. Going up the mountain to cut a tree sounds so perfect. I wish you would do Vlogmas as know you’d have loads to share. Xxx

[@jetlagen]

Yippee Ki-Yay. My favorite vlogmas is here! Coucou Cuckoo. I missed an awful lot of your vlogs the last months. So happy me, I have double the fun this vlogmas watching the older ones too. :) Bisous

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Don’t over dose on me darling! I can get very repetitive 😅

[@jetlagen]

Ah well, I have a short memory so you can be as repetitive as you want. 😂Others might binge watch series on Netflix, I prefer to binge watch your vlogs while working on my patchwork blanket.@@talesfromcuckooland
