Merry post Christmas. Glad the flight went well and you made it back to your Mum and Dads. Lovely to see the coast under sunny skies. When my husband and I left Scotland in the mid 1980s my Mum (who was a widow) moved down to Ellington, Northumberland to be closer to her brother. I remember her writing about finding a delicious bread made by Warburton’s (wasn’t available in Scotland at that time). And on my first trip back to see her in England I got to taste Warburton’s bread. Have to say it was very tasty so I bet the teacakes are delicious.
The teacakes are the best I always take some home too for Jason. Northumberland is a lovely place, my brother lives up there and there is some gorgeous beaches especially when the weather is like it was on Christmas Day! I hope you had a lovely Christmas xx
I’m glad you had a nice Christmas, despite being apart! I think most of your followers enjoy seeing the difference Florida is but since I live here too,‘I’m enjoying seeing your home there for a change! I think a pantomime is kind of like what we’d just call a play here?
It’s nice to show different places isn’t it, especially when the weather has been so bright and sunny. I’ll hopefully show a few different places around here on next weeks vlog. Yes the pantomime is just like a play yes, with a few cheesy touches that are in all of them, the lead woman is always played by a man for instance 😂 not sure why!!! Merry Christmas x
I know how you feel , I’m from a military background, can’t tell you how many Christmas’s I’ve spent apart from my husband! First Christmas I spent on my own as my parents were in Germany at my sisters and I was on leave ( I was in the wrac) I looked after their dog and Keith was on active service at the time ! It’s not pleasant but you cope!
Ah I can imagine, there is so many jobs in the world where people have to spend occasions apart and a lot of people don’t understand but the military must be one of the worst!! Hope you had a lovely Christmas xx
Happy new year Katie and family. Weather is great for time off year here. Heading back over to Florida end off January for a while hopefully bump into you at the parks. Enjoy rest off your trip home.
Oh great I bet you’re really excited!! I will definitely be in the parks in January, I’m planning on making the most of the cooler weather before the heat is back! Xx
Wow Katie, you certainly show a beautiful side to the north east. That walk on Christmas day looked stunning. 🤩 I’m sorry you are not all together, but your mum and dad must be thrilled to have you home for Christmas. Enjoy the rest of your stay. Love to you all xxx
It really did look pretty didn’t it, I hope you had similar weather 🤞🏼 it is lovely to be with my mam and dad yes, but just wish we could pull it off where everyone was there 🤷🏼♀️ I know you know how that feels… one day eh!! Lots of love xxxx
@@Katiesfloridalifeyes, one day! We live in hope 🎉❤🎉 Our weather hasn’t been so nice I’m afraid, it been quite mild but constantly foggy since Christmas Eve here, and barely felt like daylight. Hopefully it’s brightening up in the next few days, but colder. I can cope with that if we see a bit of sunshine. I hope the sun continues to shine in the north east for the rest of your stay xx
Great vlog as always. Glad you love The Headland 😊 I moved there over year ago now. Such a beautiful place. Hope you, Jason and Zara have a fabulous new year xx
Merry Christmas, lovely. We were on the East Coast for Christmas week. The weather was beautiful. Very odd for December. I hope you had a good time. Must be hard without Zara and Jason. But thank God for parents and other family members. I live 5 minutes from Manchester airport. It's awful. Everyone complains about it. Hope you have an amazing New Year. Heres wishing you and all your family, all the best for 2025 🎉❤
The weather was odd wasn’t it 🤷🏼♀️ but good odd I won’t complain, my walk along the sea front was lovely! Yes thank god for my mam and dad, they’re just amazing ❤️ I hope you had a lovely Christmas too and Happy New Year xx
Oh Katie I am sure you have a lovely time with family and friends and that you enjoy all the British food. I am sure your suitcase will be full of it when you return. And yes I agree beeing seperated especially for Christmas is not nice. Looking forward to next week shopping vlog!
It is lovely to be with my friends and family yes ❤️ and I’ve already eaten too much food 😂😂 I think I’ve got a case full of chocolate to bring back that I’ve got for gifts!!! Yes I’ll be back with shopping this week 😍 xx
Oh Katie! I forgot that Zara wasn't with you on Christmas. 😢 Yes, that would definitely be weird. I'm glad she was there for the Pantomime! It looks like such a fun show! Glitter on the nails: I feel seen! Lol! I tend to do glitter most of the time on my nails throughout the whole year! 😂❤ Have a very happy new year, and we will see you soon!
It was a bit strange yes but she was happy and her choice to go to her dads so what can I do 😂🤷🏼♀️ The pantomime was quite funny, I think you would like it. Happy New Year and we will see you next week x
Lovely vlog as ever. Definitely misty over here 🇬🇧 Took the plunge and booked Florida for next Autumn, not been since 1999 when I was 16 and is still the happiest memories so can’t wait to relive it - at 41 😆 Happy new year to you and the family.
For future reference there’s a new multi story car park at Manchester T2, think it’s called multistory west, you can park on level 0 for picking people up from arrivals. You can stay a maximum of 2 hours, and they can just walk over to the terminal to meet you ❤
I think that’s the one we were in, they have changed it all 🤷🏼♀️ my dad said he couldn’t find the entrance to the new signposted short stay along with about 30 other cars and they all agreed to just leave the car 😂 it was chaos when we got back to the car as you could see everyone was having the same problem! X
Thanks Chris. Hope you had a lovely Christmas too. Probably just being with my mam and dad, I haven’t spent Christmas with them for a few years so it was nice to be with them xx
Merry Christmas 🎄 enjoy your time with family!
Merry Christmas to you too 🎄

I didn’t realise Zara wasn’t Jason’s. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas were ever you are 🎉
No she isn’t, Zara is very close with her dad and we are so lucky to all have a lovely relationship! Merry Christmas to you too xx

I work all day 6:30am to 11pm every Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day (I work in a hospital), so I know how hard it can be apart from family
That’s hard, but then we need people like you to keep the world going ❤️ Merry Christmas xx
Wow Katie, you certainly show a beautiful side to the north east. That walk on Christmas day looked stunning. 🤩
I’m sorry you are not all together, but your mum and dad must be thrilled to have you home for Christmas. Enjoy the rest of your stay.
