vlogmas :: by the lakeside :: day 1

[@sillybeeful]

That Nigel Slater book is fabulous. I’m listening to it again this festive season. Last year I loved the audiobook so much that I bought a hard copy too. I just love your style Sandy, thanks for all the time and care you put into these Vlogs, you make them seem effortless 🎄🙏🏼

[@lindal.m.vanscheijndel-van9038]

Oh, the joy of vlogmas! And especially yours! Thank you so much for taking us along, again, in the month of December. And thank you for staying on KZbin. Patreon is just not for me in these strange times, where making a living is just harder because of restrictions. You are amazing! ♥️

[@RhondaLorch]

Oh my gosh Sandy. My husband wanted to know why I was laughing out loud. Glen is hilarious! Such a treat to watch your days leading up to Christmas.

[@bythelakeside]

Thank you! He is very silly. ☺️💕

[@amyschell2132]

Your vlogmas is always the first one I listen to per request by my husband because he LOVES your music! He says “where’s the one I like to listen to?” LOL. Your an inspiration. Thanks for taking the time to do this always appreciated!

[@lisabyard3378]

I so luv your vlogmas videos. Your husband always makes me laugh when it comes to his advent. He is quite a character.
