'Can I just say' (to quote Maaarrrkk) that it was lovely to see you all sitting round the pool talking as a family. That is why holidays are so worthwhile.
Love these vlogs right now, great escape of the busy week. Such a genuine and hilarious family. 😁👍
Kiki and maddy are very grown up for their age I think sometimes they forget they’re still your babies especially Kiki I was still playing at the park and in the house for 8 at kikis age lol x
Personally as a girl, gaming has been a great way for me to deal with stress and anxiety. It acts as a distraction, especially as a student nurse when a lot of my time is made up of dealing with the realities of life. I understand that gaming can become an addiction, but so can everything. It's not all about the object, it has a lot to do with the reason behind it. I believe that gaming has a bad reputation and not enough is said about how it can improve and enhance your life. I have dyslexia and gaming has really helped me because it has improved my reading and my coordinations (before gaming i couldn't even distinguish between my lefts and rights) Gaming, in the right amount can also improve your memory and creativity but like anything, too much of it is bad for you.
I just wish people didn't judge it so negatively in the media because
by doing so it causes people like me to then be judged as maybe not very intelligent or as someone who doesn't interact with the world, which isn't true.
Anyway love the vlogs and I never comment but I felt quite passionate about this🙂
lily love - very true - I always loved gaming before my boy was born and my husband still plays. It’s funny as now I put hours into piano and viola but if those hours were transferred to gaming society would judge differently. Both are just a hobby/interest after all yet gaming gets a bad rap. Give me a game over random phone browsing any day! On that note I better put my phone down 😂
Love the family photo... I'm going to miss you being on holiday... Great vlogs... Beautiful family xx
I’m 23 and about to go on holiday with my parents in 2 weeks time! I don’t live with my parents as I’ve relocated for my career which makes family holidays more special to spend time with my parents who I don’t see often, absolutely love the fun and laughs we have together 🥰🥰🥰
I’ve had a lovely holiday with you all. Thank You for sharing. Love the family pics at the end. Now looking forward to #GFH.xx
Aww. What gorgeous happy family photos at the end there! Have loved watching your holiday vlogs xx
Love, love, love the family pics!! Precious times, been so much fun!! Thank you! ❤️
I am glad I found your channel from the reaction videos. I was born and raised in LA and my family dynamics couldn't be more different. I'm not sure it's possible to convey how blessed and fortunate I see your family. Thank for sharing your story with us.
I’m Loving all the complements you’re giving the women in your life Mark ✨❤️✨
These vlogs are everything! I would love for you to do a best bits or holiday highlights video, love every single one of you xx
My son went thru a truly bad time at school because of bullying and allowing him to play games on the computer really helped him a lot with his anxiety, he has made some lovely friends online and one is coming from the states to stay with us this summer. He is at college now and has friends outside of gaming too I'm glad to say. Really lovely family photo at the end, glad you all had such a wonderful time. x
My 21 year old daughter still wants to come with us on holiday my youngest is 14 and said she would still come to when she older to which I always pay for them just different now my husband is no longer with us X but I have got a fantastic relationship with my girls they think iam so funny embarrassing to loud but they love it we really have lots of fun and laughter XXX glad you had such a lovely holiday you look all so well and happy and relaxed together live for the moment xxxx love to you all xxxxx
Thanks again for taking us with you on your vacation. I had a lovely time.
I have loved Spain. Thank you for letting us all come with you......and Joe Wicks too, of course. 😜. Those photos at the end just summed up the whole holiday......everyone is sun-kissed, happy, healthy looking and so smiley. A great time was had by all...me included. Thanks again Mark for your dedication to editing and uploading. I’m sure you could have done without it for a few days but you didn’t let us down. It was greatly appreciated. X
What an absolute pleasure it has been following you on your trip, have truly loved each and every vlog. You are an amazing family, thank you so much x
Hiya to all the family. It has been so uplifting watching you all bond together, and, have really important topics with your daughters about gaming addiction etc. They both have very good knowledge about life. I have learned little bits here and there about recipe's as well [Garlic bread looked so tasty]. I loved the fresh orange juice clip.Hope you all have a safe trip home. and thank you all for sharing your lovely holiday with us subs.It was a pleasure to watch......x
Been off here for a few weeks, mental health not brilliant, but I've just binge watched your holidays. Thank you so much for sharing, so lovely to see the generations all interacting so brilliantly, something I don't have with my family. It looked such an amazing place. Love and hugs to you all xxx
Beautiful family photos which show just what a wonderful holiday you all enjoyed ,and what a close loving group you are.Loved the girls jumping in the pool and hi-five ing one another.As for when teens should stop family holidays I think it depends on the child ,and the family.So long as you`re all still having fun together ,it doesn`t matter what age they are.Mark ,I remember Spain being very clean ,the roads wonderful (hardly saw another car ,and we travelled miles).I think it`s because it`s new aswell ,their supermarkets look better than ours.We`re used to the same old outlays of everything.Oh ,and whilst I still think Great Britain is the best country in the world ,we can`t seem to grow decent tomatoes` anymore.Mine used to eat them like sweets as children ,now they are tough and watery.Guess it`s due to a lot of "fresh" goods being forced.Nadia ,the colourful top you wore for dinner was beautiful.Colours really look great on you.Again ,please thank Mark for his efforts on our behalfs ,so we were able to enjoy your amazing Spanish trip too:)xx
You guys never fail to bring joy to my day
Great vlogs guys. I had a little tear at the end seeing the family photos. Just beautiful. ... I love that during one part you could hear Nadia in the background being the fab mum she is and saying to one of the girls about their legs. I think they may have been having a body hang up moment? Or Nadia saying about hers!?? Whichever, could hear nadia giving good advicexx
My two girls didn’t want to come on holiday with us at about 17 for a couple of years, but now at 22 & 25 they are desperate for a family holiday. We always pay, because we like treating them. They pay for the odd meal tho! Xx
I just said that in a comment also, somewhere between 16-18 most kids are mature enough to be alone for a week, However later in Life they will most likely regret not coming along:)
Love the family pics at the end! Glad you all had an amazing time guys, you deserve it x
I sure hope the girls don’t stop wanting to go on holiday with you guys! You’re too much fun! I’ve been so addicted to games … it all started with Pong hooked up to an old black & white TV in my basement in the 70s! Haha! I have to say though, right up to the end of her life at 81, my mom was the worst game addict... she would play online poker & slot machines (only fake money) until 3 or 4 a.m.!!! Hope Teddy steered clear of the Easy Jet ham sandwiches! Awww, those pics at the end were the best. Thanks so much for sharing your holiday with all of us! xx
Had a fabulous time on holiday with you all. Thank you so much for shariing it all ❤❤ xx
So well done, So enjoyable Thanks Guys. Love it Aussie Bob x
So enjoy watching these vlogs...Beautiful family photo at the end! Xxx
Thank you for taking us with you. What a lovely family holiday. I’m off with my family next week 9 children and 6 adults, staying in England though but really looking forward to it. Praying for nice weather.
Thank you all so much for sharing your holiday with us ....enjoyed your vlogs so much .
Lol Nadia, "I'm going over here so I'm not thrown off.." *giggles anyway* 😁😁😁
I agree with Mark, I love to have the family around me, especially on holiday.
I think most teenagers want to go on holiday with their friends and as parents we know when they are responsible enough to do it.
Occasionally my son would bring a friend along on our family holiday but he also had separate weeks away with his mates which worked very well. Like Mark we were always happy to pay for his family holiday and he would save for the time away with friends which taught him to budget. Fast forward to today and roles have reversed. My son now lives on the Gold Coast, Australia and his Christmas gift to me each year is the flight and 10 weeks from November to January which I spend with him over Christmas and new year. Of course I miss him but we make amazing memories and spend quality time together while I’m there. I’m already counting down the weeks until my next flight. Lol. Bet your daughters will want to spend holidays with you for many years to come. 💕
What a wonderful holiday and memories made. X
Oh I have loved watching ye on holiday xx
Aw I'm as sad as you all are that the holiday vlogs are coming to an end, it's been fab watching you guys having a real 'family' holiday, can't wait for the next one😂💗
Awww it's sad the holiday is coming to an end .. Had really laugh out loud moments Love your family 😊
I am 21 and refuse to miss a family holiday!!! I love them!
Wonderful vlog guys! ❤️ Have a safe trip home & I can't wait to see your vlogs when ya back home! Xxx
Love, love,love it. Watching you all makes my heart sing xx
Loved being on holiday with you! My 16 year old has stated he’s not coming away with us any more!
Awe the pictures at the end are lovely, such happy memories
Sounded a perfect happy birthday to me nads 🎶🎶🎶💕
Aww what a shame Spain has come to and end, thank yo so much for sharing your special family time with us💙 Absoloutely love the photo of you all at the end😃
Nadia I think your a great singer and I think mark is too. Keep up the singing I love Mark's responses to your singing .
So sad the holiday is over 😢 took me back to when my girls were younger and we all used to go with my mom and family. One of our girls is now living in NZ and the other all grown up. Last holiday all together was about ten years ago, albeit our daughter here occasionally still comes with us and of course we pay lol, with my bro living in OZ and mom too unwell to come, it’s amazing how quickly things change. So a big thank you for reminding me how good our family hols were and have loved watching your beautiful family too 👍💕
Loved watching you all on holiday. Loved the family photo 💕
Loved watching your Spain vlogs. What a lovely fun family holiday. 🥰
The orange juicers are in Tesco in UK too 😉😉 the family photos at the end are GORGEOUS 💙💛 have a pleasant trip home xxx
Have loved, loved, loved these vlogs you have a funny, amazing family! would love more stories from Nanny Di, Betty and Teddy ❤️x ah loved the photo at the end x
I have thoroughly enjoyed these holiday vlogs, what a beautiful Villa, I would love to live in it. It has been so nice seeing all the family having such fun. Nadia and Mark you are such wonderful parent.
Family holidays are so special . We go away in August we have done this for 6 years now all 30 of us from one family , Eldest 76 right down to 4 years old . We all live close but all busy with our day to day life so a week together is great . What lovely photos at the end special memories xx
Lovely holiday a pleasure to join you all thankyou
Love your vlogs! Home comforts when your live abroad
Thank you for sharing these vlogs. And sharing your holiday with myself and everyone else. Beautiful family photos at the end.
Another great vlog, such a lovely family. I have really enjoyed the holiday vlogs, thanks for taking us with you 💕
My eldest son 19 vowed last year was his last family holiday with us and his younger brother 14. After a year of being away at Uni decided he will do a holiday with friends ( he pays for) but changed his mind and still wants to come with us aswell. I suspect he realises after living away from home and budgeting silly to pass up a free holiday in a beautiful villa in the south of france!!
Great vlogs guys and such lovely photos at the end - all look sunkissed and gorgeous! X
just had a lovely holiday with our 30 yr old son paid for by my better half .x
When I went with my mum and dad as a teen I used to do my own thing while they took my brothers who was younger to do whatever they wanted to do...I made friends easy back then..I have enjoyed every second of all your vlogs in spain..That was definately a lovely villa...
Awwww the family photos were just gorgeous. X

Gaming - Chill!
In the 80’s I was a girl gamer of epic proportions. In the days of the early computer (pre-Atari /Amiga) it was new and not frowned on ‘oh look she can work a computer’. It was encouraged 😂. It’s relaxing and todays social gaming is collaborative and interesting. It has a much more linear / purposeful feel than browsing CZcams / Safari. I love hopping on Minecraft with my son, I feel refreshed after. Not drained. I would say gaming is a positive force compared to Facebook/insta/twitter/browsing and it feels like you are going from A to B not just white noise and fomo
Yes we need to teach our kids (boys?) to switch off when entertaining. But whatever the draw, I’m sure we all could get sucked into our phones for one reason or another when socializing. It’s a matter of manners. Like switching off the TV in the 80s!
I’ll take gaming over social media any day
Soo loved your Spanish vlogs been great lovely photos 😊😍😍
This just looks like bliss, the beauty of a family holiday, the best. When you are back in Cornwall you must try Pedn Vounder beach, Penzance. You will love it .
"Happy Birthday, Madonna!" 🤣 Nadia's mum is savage.
Enjoyed this holiday vlog you guys 🥰💓💙
Beautiful vlogs of your holiday x x thank you 😊
Beautiful family photos.... cherish forever
I was 14 when I stopped going on holiday with my family. Now I'm 27 with 2 kids, my mam always comes on holiday with us it's really nice for my boys to have their Nanny there 🖤🖤
Can’t believe I’m here again probably 3rd time watching Spanish vlogs... so missing a family holiday still not getting one in 2021!! Got to wait till next year to get away 😕
Thank you guys - what a fab week - feel as though I have had a holiday too. Love, hugs and kisses to you all xxxxxxxxx ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Best thing I've heard all week.. when Nadia said in the background 'You know what the best thing is about your legs, is that they walk'! That's what I'm going to tell myself next time I have a low body confidence moment!
Oh excellent guys. I have really enjoyed sharing your holiday fun with you all. Once again, thanks for all your hard work Mark. I hope Betty has recovered after drinking some sparkling water😂😂😘
Love love loved your family blogs your family is amazing, Cornwall blogs next 😀😃😄😁😆 ❤️❤️❤️
Really enjoyed watching you all on your hols 😊 Such a lovely family 🥰 loved the photo of you altogether 😁xx
Bring 1 of your kids best friends with them
Guys sweetie lovely to see you all🤩❤️👍🏻you are all having a great time 👍🏻👋❤️
Please all make plans for another holiday...lovely every minute of it....nanny di is so cool
What a lovely last holiday vlog.
I love how Nadia thinks she can sing when everyone keeps telling her she can’t. Doesn’t stop her nevertheless which is just great.
A beautiful family!
Find myself laughing along to your adventures. Great fun.
Thank you for taking me on holiday...good company....lovely food....plenty of entertainment....beautiful sea and beaches...not likely to go abroad....so thank you....a birdeye view x
I'm 18 and me and my family rarely get the opportunity to go on holiday so I'd never ever say no! Just love the idea of spending a week away in the sun all together! But friend holidays are so important and fun too!
I've loved watching your family holiday 💖 we are going on one next month to Cyprus with my sister and her lot and my 71 year old dad 😊 I can't wait 😁
You make my day guys, love you all ❤️
great blogs spain is lovely to be this time of year xx
Holidays - yes, it should be non-optional filial duty! Even during the ages where the children feel awkward. They may not know it but it is such a valuable undistracted time for families. A time of adjustment and growth as parents/grandparents can re-connect and see more clearly who their children are becoming rather that who they were.
Parents should pay until the children are adults and continue any time it would be a financial hardship for the son or daughter. One life. No rehearsal
Omg hahaha Nadia and Betty singing Happy Birthday and also tipsy haha I can tell 😂 I love it girls... I want to join in haha
My husband and I are both 28 and have always been really into gaming. It is very easy to be addicted but less so as you get older. Obsession is more of a teen thing I think, and when I was younger I would become consumed by things that I can take or leave now - both games and plenty of other things too. To me it does feel similar to getting sucked into a really good book.
Re holidays, I haven't been away with my parents since I was 17, I just wanted to go on girls holidays as soon as I was old enough. Also my mum won't fly and I wanted to see more of the world.
Anastasia Alexander - yes it is like going into a story book. Asassins creed have taken the trouble to be historically accurate in their graphics and certain storylines in their recent games. Like reading historical fiction
@@TheSIGHTREADINGProject You're totally right about assassin's creed, I've never played them myself but loved watching my husband explore the worlds! They're beautifully made games.
Anastasia - yes it’s my husbands thing too. I like the eagle!
I'm such a fan of your vlogs!! I just struggle to keep up with the amount of content! I'm 2 weeks behind but doing my best to catch up! 😂
We took our kids with one friend each on our last family vacation. They loved it.
I didn't want it to end!
