    Lydia, you make me laugh! This is a very sad Christmas for me. My beautiful husband of 41 years has passed away. He LOVED Christmas and our home was always decorated to the nines. Even when we had no money in the early days of our marriage, he would purchase just one very special, very expensive ornament. We couldn’t bear to take out all our collections but this year we are going to have Christmas in his honor. We will do EVERYTHING just the way we used to. You and Ali make me smile and I’m so grateful that we enjoyed the loveliness of life as you do.
    By the way, just for people who like to wonder about who is inspired by you. I am a 66 year old Black Jamaican immigrant who lives in New York. Your appeal is universal!

    I squealed when the greenhouse came into focus on the front of the card! I can't reveal what happened to me when I saw Porter in front and Lumi properly positioned at the highest peak of her kingdom. They are PURRRFECT. The wax seal and the rich green envelope. What an experience for all on your list. Well done! PS. Oh, and that choker... to die for. Heavily influenced. I am sunk.
    Day 4 with the MG'S and their honking goose. 😘 Sir, may I have some more please?

I also love your work life balance at the moment it suits you better when you have the right balance you can see it makes you Glow. Ali on the other hand, tut tut I saw that anxiety foot tap under the table whilst you had dinner! Do what work you can and don't think about the rest once you're finished for the day. Both of your work is fantastic and you're both doing amazingly. Xx

    Lydia! Ali and you are officially my people! I have 3 American Cockers, who smell of warm corn chips in the morning! Lmao!!! My oldest daughter has two beautiful Rottweilers, Porter matches them well. The point is, that when my daughter sees Chopper when he wakes, she says, wow, wow, wow! Exactly the way Ali does, lol! We are always referring to the dogs as food. Chopper, is always told that he is a quality piece of meat! Lol. I am 51 and I thoroughly enjoy your videos, Ali’s, as well. Your tastes are much aligned to my own. I have enjoyed so much seeing you transform into a beautiful, smart, creative and independent minded young woman. Your parents and Ali should feel so much pride that you are their loved one. I love that you want to experience all the wonderful things that our world has to offer! You know and utilize the secret ingredient to a fulfilling life….time. I love that you are not indulging and wasting time on trends. You both have an appreciation for timeless, classic and in my opinion, the best of everything. I have adopted you both as my lovely young friends across the pond. P.S. Only the East coast Canadians say “aboot”, haha. I believe the accent in that part of this gorgeous cousin land to yours, is a funky cross of Irish and French. Therefore, the birth of “aboot” a liitle weird word amongst many, many weird words.

It was perfect the way Porter walked "menacingly" towards the camera with his tail wagging! Animals bring us so much joy, and you and Ali are such amazing parents. My condolences to Desi and Jen as well. I'm sure many of us can relate.

    Love all the effort you obviously put in to these videos. One thing I would say about those hair bows: be careful with metal clips! It takes a long time for broken or damaged hair to grow back. Also, never feed a dog from the table, what happens if you bring them to a restaurant.

It was so scary. You can never be too careful I guess.
