So fun to watch your day out with Becky in such a sweet little town. Can't wait to watch her video as well. Thanks for taking us along. All of the time you pour into vlogmas is very appreciated! ❤
Oh, my goodness, when y’all were on fast forward at the statue, I was laughing so hard and expected you to break out into Christmas Don’t Be Late by Alvin and the Chipmunks! 😂❤
I really enjoy your days out with Becky & Lewes looked very interesting The tree Robin is very cute but the fly agaric mushroom tree Dec wins hands down for me I seem to be obsessed with them & they are everywhere ❤❤
When you walked into the candle making building there was a collection of tins and one was from the Evening Post. My mom had that when I was growing up and it was such a shock to see one here in your video. She used to hide chocolate Easter eggs in it every Easter. She’s been gone since 2001 and I don’t know what happened to the tin but it brought back so many memories seeing it here. ❤. Looks like a lovely day for you both!
Just watched Becky’s video and its obvious that you both enjoyed your day in Lewis very much! It looks a lovely town. Hope you enjoyed your night on your own and was able to choose exactly what you wanted to do and watch! I wish Kirstie had had a few more episodes!
What a lovely outing 😊 Lewis/ Lewes? Is absolutely charming thank you for taking us along with you both. I’d heard of The Shop Around the Corner being the source material for You’ve Got Mail several years ago and could never find it uploaded to stream anywhere so earlier this autumn I ordered a DVD copy off of eBay and I’ve been saving it to enjoy this holiday season. I think maybe today’s the day, it can inaugurate the start of festive film viewing for our family (I’ve already watched a few but I’d been holding back the “special” films til it was closer to Xmas as I know we’ll want to watch them several times & didn’t want to burn out too early in the month). 🙂🥰 I hope that you had a nice relaxing evening to yourself filled with all the things you enjoy. 🥰
Aww, so good to see friends together on a mini travelog! 😁❤️ You've definitely convinced this American to travel to Lewis! Wow, so beautiful! Speaking of handknits, have you ever thought about knitting ur own sweater? I've had my first ever sweater planned for like 4 years now and still haven't swatched 🤣 I've got the yarn and everything LOL! I LOVE the "Never Not Knitting" lady! So cute! The Robin is adorable; my great-grandma passed a Robin decoration like that one down to my mom for her Christmas tree and mom says she used to have a ball that she would hide in the tree that would make bird noises 😄❤️
So glad you enjoyed lewes! I went to college there! If you want to experience some more of Sussex, come to Horsham and I’ll show you around! The Christmas lights are amazing!! ❤
I visited Virginia and Leonard’s Woolf’s house in Lewes in 1997 as part of an Oxford summer school course. It’s a wonderful house which still has tours. I heartily recommend it.
Thanks for taking me to Lewis. It’s delightful. On my bucket list. I grew up in Chorley which is near Preston so know it well. We moved to Devon in 1996 ( spurred on by our two teenagers). One of the said teens went to Preston uni in the noughties. I think she missed family. Or it could have been the fact that one of the group of friends she went around with was there …… 🤔😁 they are married now with 3 boys. 😆🤣. I’m really enjoying your flogmasses. ❤️🌻
I know Chorley - I was there with my hubby Dan in the summer. My nan was from Preston and my mum went to Girls' School there (Winckley Square). We are descended from the Healds of Chorley. 💖
I find myself saying everything is LOVELY, which isn't a bad thing, after watching your videos. That was such a lovely visit with Becky. I found myself wishing I was transported there to experience the history and wonder of the shoppes. Enjoy your daughter's return from university over the holidays. These years go by quickly! Happy weekend. 🧶❤️🎄🧶
Hi Ali, I’m loving your Vlogmas! I found your channel a few weeks ago when I was in bed for 6 days with a virus, it was just the tonic! So, thanks for your company 😂. Also, it was so amazing to hear someone else say they don’t look forward to summer! I love autumn and winter, when I can come home and get snuggled up. The onset of summer brings a bit of anxiety that I’ll have to be out more and it will be hot etc etc xx take care x
Another lovely vlog ❤ Ahhh Lewes 😍 it’s been on my want-to-visit list for a while; I hope I can get around to see it soon ❤ hope you enjoyed your solo evening and night, Ali. Hugs from Sardinia, Simona ❤
I love lewes my son and his family live there ,I was out the yesterday for a beautiful carol concert which one of my grandsons was singing in ,I haven’t been to the new yarn shop yet but it’s on my list of things to do ,loving your daily blog xx
Having an empty house just be amazing! I haven't had a night off from parenting since my son was born 6 years ago 😅 I used to watch Handmade Christmas but I can not stand Kirsty Allsop, I put up with her for 3 years of the show but finally have up, I was finishing the show more annoyed than in the Xmas spirit 🤦🏻♀️ looks like you had a great time in Lewis and those robins are darling, I'm tempted to buy one from the website, I have a very similar one from when I was a kid.
Lewis, (oh Lewes, lost in translation haha) looks beautiful, all the shops looked right up my 'twitten' lovely to see you and Becky having a day out together xx
i'd never heard of 'You've got mail' reffered to as 'the remake of The shop around the corner' before xD Lewes, what a beautifu quaint town!! Just gorgeous.
I sold an original card of very vintage Christmas card you purchased about ten years ago. It went to the UK funnily enough and I pocketed a very tidy sum. I still have some other very vintage cards stashed away.
Are you lost already? Isn’t that part of the tradition too? The little robins are precious! Beautiful card! So nice to see two good friends having lots of fun together!
I knit standard English so whilst watch your vlogmas I’m teaching myself continental using some cheap cheerful yarn and a stitch count for a cowl. 10rows knit 10 purl 10 moss stich repeat. So far (started knit English to get it moving) purl ok knit was entirely twisted for 1st row wish me luck with moss.
Good to see you and friend having a great time together!!! So nice off Becky to give you a lovely little gift! was fun watching you both take photos and video's 😊 Thanks for sharing hope you enjoyed your night on your own. Hugs Liz 😊💕
A lovely day out with Becky to the beautiful Lewes which isn’t too far away from me and has made me want to visit again. I’m glad you still had your traditional Friday pizza 😊
i just tried that lapsang tea favorite of yours while i was looking for gifts in our local coffee tea shop, and saw that . I wasn't sure about it when i sniffeed it as it has a smokiness, but it is quite good, i'm on my second cup now lol
I've decided I need to go to Lewes right NOW😂 The yarn shop, the bookshops😍 Laughed out loud at your selfie clip, it sounded like a couple of chipmunks! Is it possible to link your pizza crust recipe?
Looks like you had a wonderful day with Becky. It is fun to have traditions like this...getting together. Now I am popping over to watch her vlogmas. You must be so happy to have the whole family together again this weekend! Enjoy!
So much fun and glad that you shared your visit to Lewes with us. It’s great to go to a place like that with a friend who has similar interests, and with whom you can laugh and enjoy the day. That looks like a town my sister and I would enjoy exploring.
Good memories of Lewes from my Brighton Poly days! I bought yarn from the Ida’s House stand at Unravel in 2023. I made the Westknits Painting Waves shawl with it! 😀
Ali, can you tell me where you parked, and was it far from the main shopping area? The last time I went to Lewes, I could only find central car parks for a short stay of two hours, which just isn't long enough! What a lovely day for you and to have the house to yourself, an extra treat! xx
Love your candy cane necklace! I’ve driven past the needle makers a lot lately taking my daughter to the orthodontist down the road but haven’t been in there since I was a child. Do you not say twitten in Kent? I didn’t realise it was so specific to Sussex x
Lovely to see the both of you and a feast of recognition seeing Lewes by your visit xx
What a fun day with your friend , the town is so gorgeous . Ali thank you for taking us along ❤

What a festive day! That christmas card is just darling
I really enjoy your days out with Becky & Lewes looked very interesting
The tree Robin is very cute but the fly agaric mushroom tree Dec wins hands down for me
I seem to be obsessed with them & they are everywhere ❤❤

Ryan collects those types of Christmas birds. Every year, we go to the Christkindl Market in Chicago, and we come home with at least 4 more. 😂
Beautiful video with two of my favourite RUclipsrs. What a lovely day you had. 😁🇦🇺
What a glorious day, thank you for sharing it with us ☺️💛
This time of year is so good for little gifts. Xmas tree decorations that can come out every year and the memories they spark too 🎄
So nice to see you and Becky together. Looks like a fun time!

Lewes is on my doorstep always good for a wander. A shame a few shops closed down recently as with most places.

Ali, your Fungarium book and A for Acorn card came from Closet & Botts!!!
I sold an original card of very vintage Christmas card you purchased about ten years ago. It went to the UK funnily enough and I pocketed a very tidy sum. I still have some other very vintage cards stashed away.
Loved the Needle shop looked like The Old Curiosity Shop.

Lewes looks so lovely!!! What a special tradition you both have to meet up ❤🎄
What a wonderful day in Lewes! Of course I had to go and Google the town and read up on it - a great history lesson.
i just tried that lapsang tea favorite of yours while i was looking for gifts in our local coffee tea shop, and saw that . I wasn't sure about it when i sniffeed it as it has a smokiness, but it is quite good, i'm on my second cup now lol

Lewes looks brilliant. I've visited Brighton numerous times but never Lewes. I must put that right. ❤
I love Lewes, went to school there such a long time ago. I love going back and was very happy to join you and Becky for your day out x

What a lovely day out and then a nice quiet evening to get your tasks done and to then just enjoy yourself.
Good memories of Lewes from my Brighton Poly days!

I always love the Vlogmas episode when you catch up with Becky. @backtoblighty if you see this I would love details of your bag.
