WILL BATTY B COME ON THE CRUISE ?

[@tallactordude]

It is frustrating to go out into stores looking for something specific and not being able to find it anywhere. Maybe something better than the duck will show up somewhere. And I have no idea what chestnuts and popcorn would taste like, since to the best of my knowledge I’ve never tasted a chestnut. But sometimes the most unpredictable things will go together very well.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Are chestnuts at Christmas not a thing in the USA ?

[@tallactordude]

@@TheLodgeGuys Apparently they used to be very popular in the US until a blight wiped out most of the chestnut trees in the country. Now they are mostly imported, and I have the feeling they are more popular in some parts of the country than others. In any case, I think they are more common in Europe than in North America, and in my family it never was part of our tradition.

Lasted 3 days without DIY, I am impressed . If a full English is 1000 calories and fish&chips is 1000 calories I have calculated I need to loose 17 stones before I come to the UK

[@TheLodgeGuys]

You live in the land of calories, youll be fine here

[@tuzanne]

I had staples out after knee op an it felt so much better after - don’t think husband looked on KZbin before

[@TheLodgeGuys]

It did feel so much better when they were removed. Felt less tight and pulling

[@andreadesmarais7116]

So glad you are healing well and feeling better Leigh!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks Andrea

[@lynnarro]

Nice breakfast… actually Leigh the beans are the only thing not low carb …If you had not eaten those you would’ve had a 100% keto breakfast…. I love those garden centers you guys go to I wish we had stuff like that…… love u guys♥️♥️

[@TheLodgeGuys]

That breakfast was really nice and kept me full most of the day

[@amandastringer3035]

Hope Batty B decides to go. Love to see her on a cruise

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Unfortunately not this time but hopefully we will get to go on holiday with the fam again one day

[@kimbeebe2165]

A dose of Batty B! Glad you are doing well Leigh....and love all the DIY Nick, everything looks so nice.

[@stephencoutu2674]

Leighs dad reminds me of the eye of the storm, always calm while disaster encircles him! LoL

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Hehe 😁

[@sarahhill1796]

Another great vlog guys, As soon as I saw that camper van’s curtains I thought straight away that it looks like one of Leigh’s shirts before Leigh even said anything!😍 I reckon if Batty B had said yes to the cruise then all of you would be going together. But can’t blame Batty B for being cautious at the mow bless. Take care guys x

[@ellenlavery2152]

We live round the corner from that hospital and my friend works there 😀 glad your on the mend now xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks Ellen. Its a lovely Hospital to go to

[@TheTonypickle]

The drive up to the Hospital brought back memories of driving into Typhoon Lagoon.

[@mfoth20]

Why does that make us delusional ? You do realise it doesn't prevent you catching it! It prevents you from spreading it and protecting others . Also it's more dangerous when your both sat in a restaurant without a mask than walking round a shop without a mask. It definitely is each to their own but doesn't make us delusional.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Agree but as you said ... It prevents you from spreading it and protecting others. So if you choose not to protect others then again, everyone's choice but not a great choice in our opinion

[@katielemos8590]

Do all garden centers in the UK sell food?

[@TheLodgeGuys]

A lot of them do now yeah

[@gilscot100]

I can understand the seniors being a little reluctant to get on a crowded cruise ship - Batty B’s “too soon” sums it up. I have never given up on wearing a face mask nor the hand sanitizer etc. My heart goes out to all the medical workers who are in PPE and masks all day - my 30 minutes wearing a mask in a shop is nothing compared to what they have to deal with.

[@sazzyfrax]

Great vlog guys.....pleased staples out leigh,my daughter had her stitches out yesterday, and again thankyou leigh for putting her mind at rest,her thyroid op went well.my mixed up of food nick is readybrek and toast...yummy xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Hope your daughter is recovering well. Readybrek on toast ?!?!?!?

[@sazzyfrax]

@@TheLodgeGuys she is thankyou....and yes it's yummy x

[@vickimccollum2537]

I am disappointed that Batty B and your parents aren't going on the cruise with you. It would be fun to watch them! But I am looking forward to seeing your trip. I'm glad your operation came out well!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks Vicki

[@denisederbyshire1957]

Glad it didn’t hurt too much getting your staples out Leigh 👍👍👍 fab Vlog as always guys xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks so much 😊

[@stephencoutu2674]

Roasted chestnuts are a Christmas thing here in the US.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yes usually here too, we buy a few packets around Christmas time and keep them in the cupboard

[@MrAcook61798]

What tablets, did you have Leigh to combat your "what ifs"? Great video. Many Thanks

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Hi Alexander. They are anti depressants. I wont say which ones as its all down to the Dr's decision at the end of the day which ones to put you on. Best thing is to talk to the Dr

[@davemulready]

Great One Guys .Stay Safe Guys

I love your tea jug , was it from Amazon xx

That breakfast that Leigh had looks gorgeous.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

It was really nice and kept me full most of the day

[@stephencoutu2674]

Those are some ugly ducklings! LoL Maybe one day they will turn into swans.

[@Dave-id8bj]

I can tell Leigh is feeling better with the facial expressions when Nick makes his remarks.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Hehe 😁

[@steve316]

Tong garden centre? You were a few minutes away from my house! Let us know next time and we'll put t'kettle on!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

We love going there when we are in the area

[@siancoombes9385]

lol, I have that lighthouse in my bathroom!!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

lol, ignore nick, its nice lol

[@itsjustlifeandme6294]

Hi, I've not finished watching yet but wanted to just say I'm in therapy at the minute and one of my issues is worrying about what if's so she gave me a strategy that I can have 30 mins a day ( usually evening) to write down actual worries I'm not allowed to put down what ifs I have to bat them away, it's hard to start with but it does work, it's training your brain to bat away what ifs, hope this may help anyone who suffers with this.. take care Vicky 💞 right back to the vlog xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks for the tip Vicky

[@lndjn2]

I had staples when I had an operation, 16 in total and they actually stapled through a nerve so now I have a numb bit of skin. I think your family will regret not booking the cruise, I wouldn't need asking twice.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Hopefully things will be a bit more normal next year and we can all go somewhere together

[@alisonl777]

Lol Nick you have a way with words that just make me laugh 😂....Leigh I'm sure everything is perfectly placed 😄 Can I just say to Batty B & Leigh LG Mum that Scotland would love you to visit and to bring some laughter 😊 Leigh you described me perfectly with the what if scenario's 😒! Great vlog guys 💙💙 xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks Alison. Im sure we will get on holiday with the fam again one day

[@LFlowers36-o3p]

Oooh I love removing staples! It was one of my fave nursey jobs! 😻 Inguinal hernia repair…yes groin! Lol

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thankfully it didnt hurt. The nurse was very good

[@christineoneill9190]

Oh my goodness leigh, you talk about anxiety. You guys driving around with that big ladder in your car was giving me anxiety, lol. Everytime I saw it i said that's so dangerous.

[@rachellouiselee5715]

Hiya guys, good vlog as always. Our popcorn combo is sweet popcorn and then skittles mixed in😍xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

[@davidh2414]

What are they like not going on a Cruise I'd jump at going lol, Nice to see Batty B again bless her loved it with the girls popping up behind the Sofa that was good lol, Now you two have lead me into a bad habit with me watching your Vlogs because now I'm saying "For Fr*gs Sake" When things go wrong pmsl Love it thanks guys look forward to next Vlog & Please More of Batty B lol

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks David. Will try get Batty B across to the lodge again soon

Yes, we just aren't sure what yet. We aren't great at choosing art

[@glendajames6006]

Nothing better

[@vickimccollum2537]

Food concoctions I like that no one else I know will eat: a sandwich made with peanut butter, sliced banana, and sliced onion. Served with potato chips!

[@vickimccollum2537]

I think Elvis Presley ate the peanut butter and banana sandwich, but without onion.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

PB and banana yes, sliced onion.....nah

[@steveb1086]

I was expecting at the end for Batty B to weaken and say she would join you on the cruise. That would be fab 👍

[@stephencoutu2674]

Leighs shirt matching the campers curtains, now thats fashion forward! LoL When Leigh gets tired of that shirt he can make them into drapes for James.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Awww, drapes for james would be cute

[@stephencoutu2674]

Tell your relatives that a cruise is relaxing,, not like a hectic WDW vacation. They can sit on deck chairs sipping whatever and watch the ocean and sleep in the sun!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Cant wait, sounds bliss

[@alexmcghie4022]

£50 for the elusive duck, lol 😆! Leigh, your full English looked delicious 😋 x

[@Steven-ns3rg]

I love your vlogs you are both so funny!But I know you may say none of my business but when I saw you in the the driving scenes my heart was in my mouth.Very dangerous driving with so much loose luggage in back. If you were in a shunt or collision the consequences would be very bad.Only got your safety in mind❤️Keep up the good work 👍

[@stephenwhite6630]

OK leigh you don't like cucumber, I've got other weird things like dip your fries into your milkshake at a well known fast food chain, I also love apple crumble pizza, and monte crista toasties

[@TheLodgeGuys]

I've heard of the fries being dipped into milkshakes before but never wanted to try it

[@ilsehunt6338]

I’m still wearing my mask as well, I think I will continue wearing mine for a long time ! It was great to see your family Leigh! I hope your mum and her boyfriend will be ok 👍 stay safe x x

[@TheLodgeGuys]

We still wear masks and will continue to do so

Keep taking those pills and being positive Leigh, someday you will have that self confidence you are seeking.

We agree, that is strange. Lol

It’s lovely, you should try it xx

[@lndjn2]

You wearing a mask means you are protecting other people but the ones not wearing masks aren't protecting you. Selfish.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

❤️❤️❤️

[@traceybennett1619]

Totally agree we still wear our masks and a lot of local businesses where we live are saying that they would still like you to wear masks to protect their staff and you , the customer. Good on them I say and if you don’t want to that’s fine you just need to shop elsewhere.

[@glendajames6006]

Anything goes I love to have breakfast at supper time,,no rules

Yep. Full english for supper
