I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a Youtube video every Tuesday plus an additional video every Saturday on Patreon + YT Memberships. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT/BST on Twitch. Alanna x

I think more Brits should watch these videos made by people who have moved here. We take so much for granted.
I love the way you simply said "back home in England".
So,Alanna opens her video with a comment about the weather... 😂 She's more British than she thought...❤👍
As an Englishman - it takes a Canadian to point out what I take for granted. Great video. Plugs are safer in the UK too.
The first rule of Plug Club is we don't talk about Plug Club 😁
I'm glad you love our beautiful England and you are most welcome x
Obviously where you are in Canada influences what British things you miss. My Canadian family are chiefly in the BC Lower Mainland. When there my grandsons actually get me walking more than I generally do in the UK. In addition, there's great public transport across Greater Vancouver. What I miss is the dawn chorus, church bells, longer Summer evenings, a decent local pub where I can eat with my grandsons, and cheaper decent wine.
Yours are always the first videos I click on because you are always so cheerful and upbeat. Enjoy Canada, stay healthy and come home soon, we miss you 🙂
The way you talked at the very start of the video, I thought for a minute that you'd left us! Not particularly hot up Manchester way today, or the last few days, just nice. Have a lovely time!
Have a great time with your family ❤❤❤
I'm watching in the evening with my door open. Outside I hear Red Kites, Swifts, a Wren and a hundred grasshoppers, with some occasional Canadian additions it's delightful 🙂
I know what you miss most about England - Champion beer. I still smile when I remember your beer tasting video and decided you really like Champion beer and you kept sampling it ... and tasting it again ... and again ... until you were slurring your words. That was epic! 😂
My kids landed in Ontario this morning, they are from Cheltenham! You can probably hear them bickering...
In England two hours of travel can get you over a mile along the M25, on a good day of course.

Love this channel. The best of YouTube. So genuine. So pleasant.Such a relief from the more intense corners of YouTube.
Great Video. Enjoy your time back in Canada 🇨🇦 🇬🇧
When you are back to uk , pop over to us in Guernsey , our full cream milk is about 5%,regarded as one of the best in the world
such a beautiful garden
I've only been to Montreal area and then over the border to New England and the nature and landscape was beautiful but I couldn't survive long without history around me. Only a week or two ago I was retracing Charles II's escape to France after the Battle of Worcester and it was fascinating, so I know what you mean Alanna. I no longer have any family but enjoy your family and friends. Cheers.
