Welcome back! The second half of our holiday in Wales 😍 Keep an eye for the Cardiff vlog next week too! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@trishhickson1550]

What a wonderful life Bonnie is having with you. She’s so happy.

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you! We are so lucky to have her!

[@trishhickson1550]

@@brogantatexo you care for her so well ❣️

I couldn’t agree more, it just makes my heart melt how much they love her and she loves them x

Benji never fails to crack me up, you look like you have a very fun and laughter filled relationship!

[@brogantatexo]

Always! 😍

[@josandham7844]

I have now officially watched 38 of your previous VLOGS since Monday, must point out i'm job hunting at the moment. Brogan, you are so easy to watch and your honesty and manner make it such a pleasure.

[@pretty_life_sussexsarah5178]

You have honestly given Bonnie the best life ever. Thank you for adopting her and not getting a puppy ❤️❤️❤️

[@Athomewiththewilliamsons]

Currently on day 3 of binge watching all your staycation vlogs. Happy Mother’s Day to me 😅

[@candicerogalski6801]

These stay vacations look like fun & I feel like I am getting a tour of England from my house in Canada. It also put England on my must travel places.

[@brogantatexo]

Thanks Candice! Xx

[@alices8376]

Hi Candice - Wales is a separate country to England - we’re very proud of that too!

[@candicerogalski6801]

@@alices8376 Sorry about that. It looks beautiful in the vlogs.

[@slowandsimplelivingdiaries]

I just love how happy Bonnie is! I’m a big dog person so every time she’s on camera I always think she’s so adorable and sweet!

[@ChloeAliceLily]

Omg Benji is the funniest person “it’s like go ape on steroids” 😂😂 this was such a good vlog! We are off to Wales in a few weeks and it was so good to see so many things to do! Love to you all x

[@brogantatexo]

Hhaha he's so funny!! Thank you! Have the best time!! xx

[@charliepartridge843]

I could literally watch you two everyday. So real, so honest, so funny!! You make me want to book EVERYTHING you do 🤣 Absolutely my favourite KZbinr/vlogger. Can’t wait for the next and here’s hoping you win that award (I voted 🥰) Loads of love 💕💕

[@annettestephens7107]

These vlogs have been packed full of adventure fun and laughter 🤣Bonnie is definitely living her best life with you and Benj❤️she is a beautiful dog. I have lived in Wales for 62 years !! Thank you for showing how beautiful it is❤️

Love your vlogs Brogan ☺️ they always give me such a warm and fuzzy feeling. Very comforting and wee Bonnie is so precious 🖤🐾

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you so so much Emma! xx

[@toobydude41]

These two vlogs were absolutely delightful! Cannot tell you how much I enjoyed coming along on your incredible holiday. Next best thing to being there in person. I hadn't seen much of Wales from other vloggers. Looks just as spectacular as its neighboring countries :) I can't get over that teeny tiny house. What more can we say about Bonnie. She's angelic. I didn't want these videos to end...same as you didn't want to this stay-cation to end. But, as you indicate..there is more to come! Yay! Thank you so much!!

[@organisedchaosxo]

Loved it such a laugh and the absolute avoidance of the pronunciation of Betws Y Coed made me laugh even more. Got to love our welsh names.

[@creativereindeer]

Here for that sound of music reference. I mean adult soft play. I’M SOLD. Looks amazing!!!

[@hannahcrisp1504]

Have absolutely LOVED both the Wales vlogs, so many much needed smiles, so glad you had an amazing time x

Great vlog the Hilton Garden Inn looks so nice as well as the Adventure parc. The bedroom looks really nice too. I don't like mussy peas either. I like Garden peas. :)

[@Yoolie1984]

Im so pleased you visited Betws-y-Coed.....Its one of my most faveourite places in Wales - I have so many fond memories of going there groing up with my family when we had a caravan in Wales & Ive not visited in a very long time - brought back some lovely memories seeing you walk along the river & you even passed by my faveourite tree which Im glad to see is still standing! 🥰🥰🥰

[@ladybird2222]

Glad you had a great holiday 😘. Aww I love Bonnie 💜💜

Scarlett screamed when Benji mentioned Stoke, she said you should of stopped ad grabbed an oatcake xx

[@cosytidyhome3095]

Absolutely loved these two vids on Wales. You and Benji make a great couple, so nice, and know how to have fun together! I was in Betwsy coed many many years ago on a college field trip, and was so nice to see bits of it again! Looking fwd to your trip to Cardiff now!

Loving these still B. Cannot wait to see what else you three have got planned💕💕 I voted for you on the awards in the last vlog congratulations on the nomination you deserve some recognition. Take care all. Xxx

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you so much!! Xx

[@thehallettfive186]

Aw we missed you by a week; we stayed in Porthmadog 2 weeks ago for a week and actually spent a day at zipworld fforest doing the coaster amongst other things! Beautiful part of the country and we couldn’t get over how dog friendly everywhere is; we left our 2 collies at home in northern Ireland as just bit too far the journey. But had a wonderful time and your vlog brought back happy memories. Thanks for capturing and sharing your memories too x

[@rimh7366]

Love watching vlogs filmed in my area! Autumn is the best time to vlog in Wales so my drone is coming out 😎 Great video guys

[@lizzytish01]

Absolutely loved the vlog 😀 Bonnie is such a good little traveler! You two should rent a van and take a van life vacation 🚙 Have you ever watched Trent and Allie? They travel in their self converted van with their dog Frank. They are a super fun couple to watch. They're building a home in the Mountains of Utah. They have such a great vibe, just like you and Benj 🙂

Finally catching up on your videos after being really poorly and seeing you were so close to my home town is gutting! I live about 20 min drive from Betws y coed 🙈 Wales really is a lovely place. Would loved to have spotted you in person xxx

[@jennh7040]

I enjoyed your two part vlog series. What a wonderful week away. You said Benji loves castles - y’all should watch Downton Abbey. Then when you are finished with the show and movies - you should go to Highclere Castle and Bampton (where the village scenes were filmed).

[@fionaburke2288]

Really lovely vlog, you and benji just gel together ! And have so much fun, is it possible you could tell me where you got bonnie bag from in the last clip, looks so sweet xx

[@AprilSlocombe]

Another great Wales vlog. I might have already mentioned this in a comment on one of your other videos or in one of your Instagram live streams, but my brother climbed Mount Snowdon to raise money for charity. I like how the hotel is dog-friendly, the surf lagoon looked really cool and the spa facilities looked fascinating. It’s also cool that you also got to see the smallest house in Great Britain. The first ever holiday I went on was Butlin's in Pwellheli (it is now a Haven camp), North Wales, although I can’t remember it because I was only a baby. To give you an update on my Gran Canaria plans, it is possible that I could still go because my parents and I have had both our COVID-19 jabs and my sister is due to get her second one before the trip. EasyJet will also not refund the cost of our flights. Gran Canaria could also move from the Amber list to the green list.

[@brogantatexo]

Thanks April. Hope you can go on your holiday! X

[@marinamerch]

YAY

[@penguinhippo88]

You should check out the lodge guys they did the Snowden zip wire last year as part of there walk to raise money for the NHS xx Bonnie is so sweet though she is really recognising you as her mommy now Also agree about lack of music in a spa it makes me more anxious than relaxed

[@jasminescott370]

Love the vlogs. Not sure if you’ve said before or not but where did you get the bag with bonnie’s name on it? Would love to get one for my dog! X

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you!! A brand called Tillyanna! xx

[@SamanthaLouise070894]

Oh gutted I miss you guys, were just 5 minutes away from conwy Castle you would have driven past our place on the way in 😢

[@mrs_r3freshed18]

Just curious as to how bonnie was whilst you were at the spa or where you left her? Always on the look out for dog friendly spa breaks but so many don’t let you leave the dogs alone in the room and it means you get stuck unable to do everything! Was she allowed everywhere else but the spa?

[@thevalkyriee]

hi brogan! not sure if its just me but the link in the description to the blogosphere voting comes up as "not found, error" so just thought i'd let you know, lovely video btw x

[@bethsnape]

I’m so tempered to book a stay here and learn to surf 🤔

[@meganb9679]

Been absolutely loving your staycation content! Has the recent news of no quarantine for double vaxxed people meant you guys may get abroad this summer? Looking forward to seeing whatever you get up to! X

Where is the 'Bonnie' bag from please?

[@tamzinphillips797]

Hi Brogan, I really enjoy your vlogs and have watched most of them over the past couple of years. This is a really random ask but in a vlog a couple of months ago I noticed a book in your office that I have been interested in reading. It's called Getting out of your head by Jennie Allen. Is it a book you've read yet? xx

Bad but oh so funny Benj!! Lol! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
