Merry Christmas to you all my lovely friend. I am indeed watching this at 3.45 am after my nightly pit stop. Thank you to your lovely followers for their kind thoughts. I’ll be home soon! Franca xx
Hi Franca. Just stopping in to say I've been thinking about you and sending well wishes. I'm so pleased to hear that things are going in the right direction. Xxx
I think homemade home crafted gifts are worth more than any other gift a person can give, it’s definitely a proper gift and more personal and made with love 😊
Hi Gayna, I must of missed the bit where you said Wilf was having Tramadol. I am allergic to it. It makes me feel like ants are crawling under my skin and I hallucinate other things as well. However, before I knew I was allergic, I took some whilst at my hairdressers and then drove home (an hour away). I do not remember driving home and my husband found me passed out on the lounge in the dining room. Needless to say my doctor prescribed me other painkillers. 😂 I’m glad Wilf only took it for a short while; nasty stuff that is. Your house looks lovely by the way, all decorated for Christmas. I am watching this on Christmas night as I eat my pudding and custard and have a cup of tea. Merry Christmas to you and your gorgeous family. ❤
Oh blimey! You did have a rough time. We have only ever had good experiences with tramadol so you were very unlucky. I do think people are given these medicines and aren’t fully aware of what to look out for. You poor thing!
Awww the arrival of Granny and Poppa - all is well with the world!!! Happy Christmas to Franke glad things are going well xxxx And Happy Christmas Darling Gayna - am taking my singular working nostril to bed !!!! xxxx
Oh you home and very happy. It’s true what they say no place like home. So glad to hear Franka is improving and you are saying she will be home in a few weeks, definitely a long haul for her. Thanks for sharing😊
I have loft ladder envy, our house is over 165 years old and because of the roof pitch we can't have one. It would definitely make life easier. Sending best wishes to Franca, it would be lovely to see her in one of your vlogs next year.❤ Have a great time with all the family. 🎄🍾🐾❤
Wait till you get to 81 l don’t feel old at that age.Keep on rocking. Praying you can get help with your back. Have a lovely Christmas with your family Bless you all for sharing your life
Hi Gayna…..thank you for your vlogmas….it’s always one of my faves….look forward to going to France with you every year and love Granny and Poppa!! I have a ridiculous question….I spy a different bracelet than the special one you have shared with us in past vlogs…..wondering about it if you care to share. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
The special one Kate gave me for my 40th has worn thin at the hinge and kept dropping off. I was scared to loose it so I have packed it away till I find someone who can rebuild it. I’m wearing one now that was my mums that she gave me recently 🥰
So good to see you again. I wonder if you have ever mentioned exactly what is wrong with your coccyx??? I’m so concerned by your suffering. Glad to hear that Wilfred is healing nicely. Merry Christmas ❤️
O sat up in bed for a few nights on the trot knitting and after that it felt like I had been kicked in the bum and it got worse and worse with inflammation. It’s a mystery as the mri shows nothing mechanical anymore. 6 months ago an xray showed it was inverted. Hoping so much the injection will fix it. Xxx
I have my lot sorting the veg and I am just sitting down for ten minutes. What a treat to see you here. So very pleased to hear Franca is on the mend and maybe turned a corner now. Such good news. You are a hoot and a delight to watch. ❤🎄
In the midst of all the madness I had to take a break and watch your sweet video. How lovely to see Granny with her perennial glass of wine (and you, too). We always have a luscious seafood gratin on Christmas Eve and all the fixings are all lined up and ready to go. When cooking a variety of seafood, timing is everything because you mustn't overcook any of it. Merry Christmas to all the Ballards.
Bless dear Granny…what on earth did she say 🤣🤣🤣. I paused the video to look up Social Fatigue as it wasn’t a term I had heard. Very relatable and understandable. I used to enjoy a couple of glasses of wine of an evening but sadly it doesn’t like me any more. Similar to what you described. Now also it affects my face, I go scarlet and my face burns!! Enjoy the family time together - so precious 🎄🧑🎄
@ thanks Kathy. Haven’t been for allergy testing yet but the doc thinks that is what it is. I seem to have developed reactions to odd things as I got into my late 50s early 60 - aspirin, certain prescription meds, certain toothpastes.
When you get to my age, 72, you will think that 50-ish is still very young. Just discovered you and enjoying your videos from Illinois, USA. I was born and raised in Northumberland.
GlD to hear about wilf am on tramadol and co dydramol for my back been on for twenty plus years so will b addicted but doesn’t matter as in for life anyway
Thank you ❣️ ❣️ ❣️ 😂 I've now started my day with the happiest sounds of the best family 🥰👋 I'm off to make lasagna as well ❗ Wishing you all the brightest, lightest Christmas Eve, with love! Terry in Alaska 😂😊

You may be allergic to the sulfites in the wine. I react the same way and have been diagnosed with this allergy…
@ thanks Kathy. Haven’t been for allergy testing yet but the doc thinks that is what it is. I seem to have developed reactions to odd things as I got into my late 50s early 60 - aspirin, certain prescription meds, certain toothpastes.
@ I have developed allergies as I got older as well…
You are well on your way to a festive season, Enjoy.🥰
