I'm very happy that you're back here. Ridiculously, for a 78 year old Englishman I felt much of the tension you did when you were opening the letter with your passport in and had tears in my eyes when you cried with happiness at the result. Welcome Back Alana: sorry you've had such an awful year.
Welcome back to the UK 🇬🇧 I am so very sorry to hear about your dad 💔 I'm glad you got to spend that time with him, rather than be here & end up not being able to travel. Love to you & your family x
Well, during the live chat on the count down to the premiere of this video, I mentioned that I guess Alanna is already packed and waiting for the plane - how wrong was I?! By the time this video was live, Alanna was already napping in Kent! 😆
*BIG HUGS*... Just remember showing your emotions, makes you even more real to all of us. Probably took a lot to actually post this, but we love you for your honesty and openness. 🤗 Take a nap! Or two!
Hey Alanna, you may recall me saying that my nosey wife was asking when you are coming back to the UK? Well, my nosey wife (and I) are thrilled for you. Sorry about your father - but isn't it strange how life has a way of making sure you are in the right place at the right time? Those last few months with your father were meant to be...... Chin up, be strong, you have an army of UK fans fighting your corner, now let the next adventure (or nap) begin.....
I am overjoyed for you, dear Alanna! This is a massive win, certainly for all of us in England who follow your channel and have come to love you and your content. It's a win for the UK! And of course it's a win for you. Welcome back! It's so good to have you here.
@@AdventuresAndNaps You're welcome! Welcome to England. Welcome to "Adventures in England 2.0" .... welcome back to cider, to pubs (albeit as from now they close at 10pm under government orders), to M&S, to cheese, to fish and chips, to the country you have made your own, to your adoptive family of British RUclips fans. A thousand times welcome. And welcome to your fully deserved nap!
I'm truly sorry about the loss of your dad .... the universe was looking after you inasmuch you were able to be with him and enjoy quality time together ... that's special. 💖
I think we feel that we do know the essence of Allana and recognise that she's a "good egg" with a genuine and well-meaning soul, and a robust sense of humour. We are fond of her and we can't help getting involved in her struggles and wish the best for her because she deserves it.
@@NigeHaines I think you must be right because I don't do social media and don't subscribe to any other RUclips channel and yet I find Adventures and Naps a must watch. Alanna that was genius staging of the big reveal!
@@propertycentreuk I think you may have doubled the incorrect consonant in Alanna's name. It's a shame her name isn't Fred... you know where you are with a Fred.
I'm so happy for you!! I remember when I had to go back to the US I was crushed, and I also cried when I got my visa back. Go buy some nice snacks at M and S and take a long nap to get over the jet lag! ❤❤
Welcome home our adopted Brit! You've been through the mill this year - let's hope the next year will be better and more settled for you. Best wishes to you and your family - Ren
You poor dear. I really care about you, and it’s been pretty tough for you hasn’t it? I’ve been watching all your videos and always have a good laugh. Very glad you’re back. The U.K. is a better place with you in it. God bless 🤗
Alana you are a star. Your decency and humanity shine through. Your Dad must have been so proud of you. Stay smiling the world needs more young people like you ❤️
Best news I've heard all week. I am so so very happy for you to be back here in the UK. We are all so lucky to have you both back in the UK and also on RUclips and other platforms. Hopefully now you can begin to relax and things will be back on the up and up. You will miss your family but they will always be there for you and I am happy for you that you was there to be with your dad. Myself and all of your followers will always be here to support you with everything that you do. Stay strong, stay safe and let's countdown to your 1st UK video in a long time. Sending you love and best wishes. ♥️♥️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇨🇦🇨🇦
Garbage truck? Bin lorry - you're back now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bless you - the web is an amazing place where we can meet a stranger (not that you're strange of course) and get to know and care about them. Your comments about being thankful are very moving and true. Welcome "home".
So much outpouring of emotion. This was so real it was the best video I've seen of yours. I thought you quite adorable before, now I think you're totally adorable. Im sorry to hear about your father (I missed that news), he was lucky to have such a great daughter, and now so are we in the UK. Wishing you all the best.
If Allana ever becomes a famous actress we now know what her Oscar acceptance speach will be like :-)! Seriously really glad you're back Allana, you're a credit to Canada and we're lucky to have you here!
It’s good to know “our girl”is back home in her second home as it were,there’s many of us wanting to welcome you back! Hopefully the next few days will be a bit clearer and you can start to see how things work out. It’s a new adventure and who knows what will surprise us all.
I am sorry for your loss. Glad to hear the visa came through and you are back where you want to be. Thank you for opening your heart to everyone in this video.
Alanna, god sorry I've not really been watching over summer as works been crazy busy. I'm really sorry to hear about your father. It's hard, it'll always be hard but draw comfort in the things like being there for him. I'm soo pleased for you that you got your visa. It's bloody ridiculous that it wasn't a known quantity going into the application. I hope you settle back into it here in the UK and there aren't any more disasters to contend with.
Made my day to hear that you are back in England. I've been crying watching this video. Brought back memories of my Dad. We used to watch movies together. I miss him every day. That time you spent with your dad was precious. Take care it gets a bit easier. All the best to you for the future.
Very sorry to hear about your loss, I understand, I was 24 when my Father died, so I know how hard it is. With regards to your visa congrats and welcome back, an Adventures and Naps does not seem the same with out a truck driving by.
Hey from the UK 🇬🇧 I know I’m late to the party but I’d just like to say that I’m very pleased with your visa result and was lovely to see your reaction to the amazing news. I’ve only been on this earth almost 30years but you come across as one of the most genuine, down to earth young women I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with and it’s great to have you back 🙌❣️
I'm SO sorry to hear you lost your dad. I lost my dad 26 yyears ago and I lost my mum last August, it scabs over in time, it doee get easier but it becomes bearable!
I cried like a baby! Really pleased for you, welcome back to the UK. Even through the awful year you have had your whit and humour as shone through the adversity, keeping many of us positive. You deserve every happiness, looking forward to many more adventures.
Like so many of your other followers, I was THRILLED to hear that your UK visa has been renewed and now you are back home again. Blessings from Steve at Guelph, Canada.
No-one should have an issue with crying after everything you've been through. You are a truly amazing person for focusing on the positives and I and everyone else are incredibly happy for you that 2020 has finally brought you the good news and new start you really deserve.
Have tears in my eyes am so happy for you and you are so deserving of being allowed back into the arms of the British people. Sorry to hear about the passing of your father. Must have been a very difficult time for you. Welcome home Allana.
Welcome home ! Fabulous news , so happy for you ,appreciation and gratitude are two things we can all take from the pandemic , now you can draw a line and start a new chapter 😁 enjoy you're first pint of cider , stay safe ❤
So sorry to hear about your dad Alanna. God bless you and your family. Nice that you got to spend time with him in his last days. Great that you got your visa. YAY!
Losing your Dad i wasn't aware of but having lost both my parents a few years ago now( i'm very old ) i can pass on a little of what i learned . You'll think about your Dad and you'll cry then laugh then cry lots more Then you'll think about him and you will cry and then laugh a little more and cry a little less Eventually the laughs and the fondness you feel for your dad will overwhelm the sadness of his passing , you'll still cry but the love you feel will be the overarching feeling more and more Time is a great healer is a cliche for a reason Welcome Home Alanna
Welcome home Alanna! After everything you have been through this year I am so happy that you got your Visa. There is nothing wrong with having a good cry, its important to let out all that emotions that has undoubtedly been building up inside and I hope you feel better for doing so. You take care Alanna and I look forward to watching more Adventures and Naps in the weeks and months ahead xx
Woohoo! Welcome back. The UK NEEDS people like you to make it a better place to be. So sorry you’ve had such a bad year, but the only way is up, fingers crossed for you and all of us!
I'm so very happy for you Alana, you seem like such a wonderful person and you deserve to be happy :) and I am so very happy you had that time back in Canada to spend with your wonderful Dad and that you are now back in the UK. All the best to you
Condolences to you about your Dad, I lost both my parents, my Mum in 2010, and my Dad in 2016. But so glad and happy for you that you were able to get back here to the UK.
Oh sweetie u have had me in tears. So sorry for the loss of your dad. He is looking down on you and am sure that he is so very proud of you. Welcolme to England. Enjoy your life little one xxxx
Welcome back. Sorry to hear about your father, but it must have been a relief to have had that precious time with him. Such an emotional video. We love you!
It's great to see you back in front of that grey couch Alana. I missed a few of your posts over the summer so I wasn't aware of your Dad passing away. I'm sorry for your loss. As you say, it was good that you were able to be there for him. You know that sincere tears whether of sadness or joy never need excusing. Watching you open that letter was terrific. I was on complete tenterhooks for you. And your reaction....! So - Ms. Alana in Kent - WELCOME HOME!!!
Hey stranger on the internet, I''m so incredibly happy for you. Hope you get to have your first cider at the pub soon and that 2021 turns out to be a better year.
So happy you're able to get back where you want to be and I loved the cut to the couch in Kent. For those of us isolated by lockdown your videos with your friendly natural style are a source of great comfort.
Just an FYI but it's 'ado' not 'adieu'. :-) It's hard to imagine how she feels if you haven't gone through it. I spent a year in NY (from England) but always knew that there was a definite end, as it wasn't a permanent move and I had my better half with me. Or more accurately, I was with her as it was her job that took us there. That doesn't come close to what Alanna must be going through after several years. I suspect, as she's only just back, that reality hasn't hit her yet.
Oh boy, you just made a grown man cry. 😭😚 A very difficult year. I won’t go into any details on here, but I’m so pleased the visa worked out for you Alana. Small steps ❤️ ...and sending much love and welcome back to the crazy UK ☺️ xx
That sofa reveal was such an epic twist! I don't know if I've ever felt this much joy before for a complete stranger on the internet, or laughed so hard over the sound of a garbage truck. There may have been tears on this side of the computer screen, too ❤️So very glad for you!
Glad you're back & my condolences. I know how it feels when you lose your father, but as you say - you had that time together & it was a blessing. I am sure he is really proud of you. Hope you had a good nap.
That was a very cheeky reveal 😁 Kudos. Very pleased for you, and this was a fantastic upload. Really felt for you on getting your visa decision back. Reminded me of when I finally got my permanent residency in Canada sorted after the most difficult year of my life. Good luck in the UK!
Glad to see that things worked out for you! This has been a terrible year for sure so it's nice to see someone having something good happen to them for once. It reminds me that sometimes good things happen as well, hope the rest of your year goes well!
Incredibly brave to put this on RUclips. I salute you. You can tell by her reaction, she loves Britain (more than some British!)! I was stuck in America when my Dad died, on Christmas Eve in 1996. The Earliest flight was after the funeral, so all my family said "just come in the Summer, like you normally do". It was tough though.
I am so relieved for you, don’t know why but my heart sank when you became emotional and expected the worst then the screen went dark and then.... jumped to your sofa. 😂 Welcome back to Blighty! 👏👏👏
So so pleased for you Alanna, you had me in tears too! Welcome home, now get yourself down here to Cornwall, no excuses young lady!! :) :) Look forward to seeing your video from here!
Hi........I’ve viewed your posts for over 3 years I think ..... I’ve missed a few here and there, especially this year . I’m so pleased that you had some good news after the terrible news earlier in the year . You seem like such a positive person and I’m sure your memories will keep you strong. I loved how raw and inspiring yesterday’s vlog is...... stay strong and congratulations on your visa result ❤️
PPE at the ready! Virtual welcome home hug coming in! That video was a bit of a roller-coaster for you and off course jet-lag didn't help. Anyway, just to say welcome back to Blighty, she has missed you along with all your Ad-Napper fans. Stay safe and see you in the next vid.
I’m not crying, you’re crying! 😭 Seriously tho, big YAY for you Alanna. Im sorry it’s been a shitty year for you. Clouds, silver linings and all that, you got to be with your Dad 💙. Welcome back to England! Be happy, safe and enjoy 😊 xx
Yes get in! 👏🏻 Welcome home Alanna! Haven't cheered this much in a while when we saw the famous sofa. All the best for the future, chin up and keep going!
Oh wow, that's brilliant , you must be so happy , but to be fair Canada looks gorgeous , but really happy for you, things happen for a reason we don't understand at the time and being with your dad was the reason you had to go back 💕👍😉x
I, as many others, have been waiting for this video for what feels like forever. I'm so glad you're back. 2020 has been a terrible year but this is definitely the highlight. I lost my dad in 2009 it's terrible to begin with but it gets easier as time goes on. You never get over it but you learn to live with it
I'm a 40 year old man from Essex, covered in tattoo's and know to be a bit of a nutter who has just had to explain why he is crying to his 14 year old daughter before I take her school.. she does not believe its due to watching this😅 glad your back home.
Damn right we want you Alanna - we’re all the better having you here again. Really looking forward to seeing your future video ideas too - welcome welcome welcome! Lots of love, Nigel
I’m so incredibly happy for you, if anyone deserved some good news it’s you, you really brought a tear to my eye watching this, sending you so many virtual hugs, and welcome back 😊
I hadn’t realized you had lost your father. I am very sorry for your loss. I am thrilled that you are back in England. I am married to an Englishman and am a Canadian. We live not all that far from where your parents are but I’m hoping to go back to England one day too. Big BIG hug to you for all you have dealt with this year and how amazingly well you have managed. You are a strong and resilient woman and we will miss you here.
Chuffed for you lass the UK is enriched by people like you.
At this stage I imagine that 3.4K people had a little cry today
Welcome back
I'm turning into a big softie blubbing over this !
I teared up for her, lol.
@@Metalien76 and me...
I'm very happy that you're back here. Ridiculously, for a 78 year old Englishman I felt much of the tension you did when you were opening the letter with your passport in and had tears in my eyes when you cried with happiness at the result. Welcome Back Alana: sorry you've had such an awful year.
Glad to see that there is at least one old git older than me.....

Welcome back. Never apologise for crying, it shows that you care
Welcome back to the UK 🇬🇧
I am so very sorry to hear about your dad 💔
I'm glad you got to spend that time with him, rather than be here & end up not being able to travel.
Love to you & your family x
Cuts to black.... THE SOFA! haha that was the BEST way to do that!!
Well, during the live chat on the count down to the premiere of this video, I mentioned that I guess Alanna is already packed and waiting for the plane - how wrong was I?!

Good to have you back Alanna.

Losing your Dad i wasn't aware of but having lost both my parents a few years ago now( i'm very old ) i can pass on a little of what i learned .
You'll think about your Dad and you'll cry then laugh then cry lots more
Then you'll think about him and you will cry and then laugh a little more and cry a little less
Eventually the laughs and the fondness you feel for your dad will overwhelm the sadness of his passing , you'll still cry but the love you feel will be the overarching feeling more and more Time is a great healer is a cliche for a reason Welcome Home Alanna
I can relate to this...every word is true

Yes very true, I lost my dad on New Years Eve so whilst the fireworks and partying go on it'll always feel weird.

Oh sweetie u have had me in tears. So sorry for the loss of your dad. He is looking down on you and am sure that he is so very proud of you. Welcolme to England. Enjoy your life little one xxxx
Welcome back 🇬🇧🇨🇦 all the best Alana. You bring sunshine during this Covid nightmare .
Crying along with a RUclipsr... Yeah that was me. Welcome back!
You're not alone!
I was as well.
Welcome back.
Sorry to hear about your father, but it must have been a relief to have had that precious time with him.
Such an emotional video.
We love you!
It's great to see you back in front of that grey couch Alana. I missed a few of your posts over the summer so I wasn't aware of your Dad passing away. I'm sorry for your loss. As you say, it was good that you were able to be there for him. You know that sincere tears whether of sadness or joy never need excusing. Watching you open that letter was terrific. I was on complete tenterhooks for you. And your reaction....! So - Ms. Alana in Kent - WELCOME HOME!!!
Hey stranger on the internet, I''m so incredibly happy for you. Hope you get to have your first cider at the pub soon and that 2021 turns out to be a better year.
Welcome back,you are one amazing woman,I couldn’t be happier for you that you are back ,am looking forward to seeing your continued adventures xxx 😘
So happy you're able to get back where you want to be and I loved the cut to the couch in Kent. For those of us isolated by lockdown your videos with your friendly natural style are a source of great comfort.
0/10 didn't say "so without further adieu let's go"
really glad you're back :) cannot imagine how relieved you must be
I've missed that couch
Just an FYI but it's 'ado' not 'adieu'. :-)
It's hard to imagine how she feels if you haven't gone through it. I spent a year in NY (from England) but always knew that there was a definite end, as it wasn't a permanent move and I had my better half with me. Or more accurately, I was with her as it was her job that took us there. That doesn't come close to what Alanna must be going through after several years. I suspect, as she's only just back, that reality hasn't hit her yet.

Blame the jet lag, normal will be occurring after a reboot and upgrade 🙂
Oh boy, you just made a grown man cry. 😭😚 A very difficult year. I won’t go into any details on here, but I’m so pleased the visa worked out for you Alana. Small steps ❤️ ...and sending much love and welcome back to the crazy UK ☺️ xx
That sofa reveal was such an epic twist! I don't know if I've ever felt this much joy before for a complete stranger on the internet, or laughed so hard over the sound of a garbage truck. There may have been tears on this side of the computer screen, too ❤️So very glad for you!
*points at sofa* this is England
Also you're making me cry!
Welcome Back 🙂 you've been missed and I lost my dad 3 years ago I honestly feel you're pain and you're dad would be so proud of you xx
Glad you're back & my condolences. I know how it feels when you lose your father, but as you say - you had that time together & it was a blessing. I am sure he is really proud of you. Hope you had a good nap.
That was a very cheeky reveal 😁 Kudos. Very pleased for you, and this was a fantastic upload. Really felt for you on getting your visa decision back. Reminded me of when I finally got my permanent residency in Canada sorted after the most difficult year of my life. Good luck in the UK!
Thanks so much! 😊
Glad to see that things worked out for you! This has been a terrible year for sure so it's nice to see someone having something good happen to them for once. It reminds me that sometimes good things happen as well, hope the rest of your year goes well!
Incredibly brave to put this on RUclips. I salute you. You can tell by her reaction, she loves Britain (more than some British!)! I was stuck in America when my Dad died, on Christmas Eve in 1996. The Earliest flight was after the funeral, so all my family said "just come in the Summer, like you normally do". It was tough though.
I am so relieved for you, don’t know why but my heart sank when you became emotional and expected the worst then the screen went dark and then.... jumped to your sofa. 😂 Welcome back to Blighty! 👏👏👏
So so pleased for you Alanna, you had me in tears too! Welcome home, now get yourself down here to Cornwall, no excuses young lady!! :) :) Look forward to seeing your video from here!
Hi........I’ve viewed your posts for over 3 years I think ..... I’ve missed a few here and there, especially this year . I’m so pleased that you had some good news after the terrible news earlier in the year . You seem like such a positive person and I’m sure your memories will keep you strong.
I loved how raw and inspiring yesterday’s vlog is...... stay strong and congratulations on your visa result ❤️
PPE at the ready! Virtual welcome home hug coming in! That video was a bit of a roller-coaster for you and off course jet-lag didn't help. Anyway, just to say welcome back to Blighty, she has missed you along with all your Ad-Napper fans. Stay safe and see you in the next vid.
I’m not crying, you’re crying! 😭 Seriously tho, big YAY for you Alanna. Im sorry it’s been a shitty year for you. Clouds, silver linings and all that, you got to be with your Dad 💙. Welcome back to England! Be happy, safe and enjoy 😊 xx
Yes get in! 👏🏻 Welcome home Alanna! Haven't cheered this much in a while when we saw the famous sofa. All the best for the future, chin up and keep going!
Oh wow, that's brilliant , you must be so happy , but to be fair Canada looks gorgeous , but really happy for you, things happen for a reason we don't understand at the time and being with your dad was the reason you had to go back 💕👍😉x
I, as many others, have been waiting for this video for what feels like forever. I'm so glad you're back. 2020 has been a terrible year but this is definitely the highlight. I lost my dad in 2009 it's terrible to begin with but it gets easier as time goes on. You never get over it but you learn to live with it
I'm a 40 year old man from Essex, covered in tattoo's and know to be a bit of a nutter who has just had to explain why he is crying to his 14 year old daughter before I take her school.. she does not believe its due to watching this😅 glad your back home.

Over the moon for you sweetheart. Glad to have you back. 👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉
So sorry for your loss sweetheart.💔💔
I’m so incredibly happy for you, if anyone deserved some good news it’s you, you really brought a tear to my eye watching this, sending you so many virtual hugs, and welcome back 😊
Welcome back Alanna. 🙂
I hadn’t realized you had lost your father. I am very sorry for your loss. I am thrilled that you are back in England. I am married to an Englishman and am a Canadian. We live not all that far from where your parents are but I’m hoping to go back to England one day too. Big BIG hug to you for all you have dealt with this year and how amazingly well you have managed. You are a strong and resilient woman and we will miss you here.
Welcome back!!!!! Genuinely chuffed for you mate! Go and grab a couple of ciders from your local 😊
