Wow. I don’t know why, but I found this by accident and was curious because of the title. Couldn’t stop watching it. Somehow you captured more than just a personal journey. I was wondering about all the people, you captured everyday people doing their everyday stuff in their everyday life, all involving things and ways that are unknown and unfamiliar to me. Thank you for the extra effort of documenting it for us.
Hi Listening to your Story. I have a Friend i want to visit oneday! me not speaking Russia and it seems very difficult to Enter Russia. .Its good to see the Railway Station & see where the Buses are! . Plus i see bags are checked on Public Transport.. Getting A second Visa for Russia!?. ThankU!!! for Your Story..I'm sure your Family would have Loved you being with them.
A beautiful story of yours Julia. Keep it coming. We're learning real stuff about your country and it's good people. So important for we in the West right now. Thankyou!
Learning what? that Russians can freely move around while their country destroys peoples life in Ukraine? some people cant return to visit their families in now Russian occupied areas
Difficult time he? I can relate to you, I was really close to my Gran. I miss her. Nice videos and thanks for sharing them with us. Greetings from Canada.
Thank you for this so personal and unique video, I am a silent subscriber who watched every single video of yours and I pray you and your families are doing very well. Take good care, hugs Kate from Germany❤️❤️❤️❤️
DONT PAY!! People, this channel is a confirmed russian state sponsored channel which is part of russian Stratcom or other influencing programms. You are fooled by fake innocence, sweetness, openness etc. The intention of those programms is 'Truth Decay'. Slowly, gently they are eroding the outside opinion within the oponents community. So dont pay any attention, never give any information and DONT PAY. (look it up yourself). You see many of these so called trolls out here with exact the same story. Natasha, Nikki, etc.
This is a lovely and touching video. That scene with Matt on the platform was heartbreaking. I can't wait for you both to be together again. But it's also lovely to see you with your family. Thank you.

Such a beautiful and heart-warming video. Just goes to show how at the core of everything, everything, lies the family - which creates and sustains life. It is the same everywhere on the planet - North, South, East, West, no matter which country you belong to. Videos like these also show how human beings everywhere are essentially the same, and there is much that unites us than divides us - no matter what culture you from or the colour of your skin, etc. Thanks for sharing this beautiful and small piece of your life, Julian & Matt.
Such a long journey. Russia is really huge. Thank you for showing us a bit of your country and your family. I Just found this channel and subscribed. Hello from Malaysia
40 часов езды в масштабах России это мало. Я ехала 7 суток по транссибирской магистрали из Москвы до Восточной Сибири. До самой конечной точки - Дальнего востока еще пару суток езды)))
I am happy you were able to spend time with your babushka and sister. My children's Grandma is stuck in Ukraine. We have no way to get to her or get her out. Each day is a nightmare. But your video shows how simple and happy life can be to be with your loved ones. Separation only makes us appreciate them more thus every moment with our loved ones is a precious gift! Thanks for sharing.

They are okay but very close to Russian border near military base. Every night and day jets take off flying very low. Very upsetting. Thanks for your thoughts.
My grandma died in 1980 and I miss her so much. Seeing you with your gran is so special and I’m so glad you have her as you both bring each other so much joy! 🌞
I was crying almost the whole video. Means so much that you share your life with us. I love you and Matt so much. Feel as though your close friends, even family. Im praying for you guys. I hope you have a wonderful visit and you get back to Matt safely with no trouble. Sending hugs, love and prayers to you, your Gran and Matt always.

The music at the end was stunning with all that reunited meeting with family. Some tears rolling on my face now. The same could happens in Ukraine, Japan, South Africa. This is how normal human beings are, this is how we could live in peace with everyone, everywhere, anywhere. ThankU for this pearl 😙
Winnie Wallace.... We are none of us that different are we Julia...We love and hold our family dear. Many thanks to you for making this vlog. Take care and stay safe.Ill be watching.
Such a sweet reunion with your family. ❤️ I love how you both keep your cameras recording in all different angles- holding your camera while walking, getting in and out of a car, while hugging someone. The camera may be pointing up at the sky or facing the ceiling as you set it on a table, but it makes me feel like I’m a tiny little person traveling around with you in your hand. 🥰
I loved long train rides through Europe when I was younger. I'm surprised you don't have curtains on your sleeping bunks. You have a beautiful country as are your people. I pray that soon things will once again be as they were before. God Bless you & your family. Peace be with you.
Matt Julia; I have very similar experiences...the separations can kill one inside. But just down the road the separation you'll look back on as just a almost forgettable bump in the road; but the time that you share with your family Julia, THAT you will remember every detail of and will treasure. I know it's a hard choice but it was the right one. I have family in Ukraine, Moscow and Yerevan... all in jeopardy in one way or another... believe me when I say that having that time with them can never be replaced. Praying for you both.
Thank you so much Eric, your comment means the world ❤️ Can’t begin to imagine how difficult your situation must be right now! Lots of love and strength to you and your family in each country ❤️❤️❤️
New subscriber here. From Siberia. But living in America now. Your former neighbor from the Tomsk region. I like your style of vlogging, and enjoy you British way of talking! I hope it all goes well in N-sk with your babushka and sestrenka 💙
I have a Polish wife, have been to Poland every year for the past 16 years, wow how it has changed, anyway, - missing each other. A while ago she went home to look after her mum, on her return i said "it was good to miss you" she later realised that being together every day you forget how nice it is, untill you part, and then realise how much you miss that voice in the other room, the emptyness of your pal, your partner, wife, husband, travelling sharer, also the smell of each other, the trust, I get what you were both experiencing, it shows a good solid partnership.
Strange it may sound but I also missed your family. I watched all of the videos, you guys made in Russia with your family last year and enjoyed them. So it was very nice seeing them again and hope to see your brother also in future.
Excellent documentary of your trip "home" Julia, thanks so much for sharing with us! I could feel the anticipation build up as you got closer to Siberia and your family ♥️ Although emotional to be seperated from Matt for such a long time, I think that was absolutely the right decision to go and visit. I really enjoyed to see Gran (and Sis!) again! Kudos to you as well for handling your solo trip like a pro! ♥️♥️

Julia you made me cry...when you and your Gran hugged I saw the joy in her face and the way she held you just touched me so much. So sorry Matt could not accompany you to Russia, you guys are so close. Just cherish the time with your family, I'm so happy you are there with them. ❤
Aloha! I found your vlog about two weeks ago and have really been enjoying it. You cooking with your family and just enjoying being and doing things together is so heartwarming. Matt seems so happy to have you back home, what a great guy! You two are so sweet together. ❤️🙋🏻♀️
Your film, journeying to Siberia is evocative and a little sad. A strange mixture of the small kindness of strangers on a bus or train, and loved ones at home, huge block buildings beyound human scale. It's good to see another side of Russia 🇷🇺 than the bleak comments spouted by some in marble palaces. If matters improve, I hope to visit St Petersburg one day and enjoy the company of Russians who concern themselves with their own, not trampling on others. May the road rise up to you and yours. Robert
I've been married 10 years and let me give you one piece of advice --it's healthy to not be together 24/7. Everything in moderation. There will be in times in life not by choice that you will have to be alone or travel alone and you need to start implementing that in your life. My wife is from Serbia and I'm in Canada. She goes every year for 3-4 weeks to visit her family and uses all of her personal vacation. I then visit my sisters in Arizona for 2-3 weeks and use my personal vacation and then we save 1 or 2 weeks to go together on a trip and it's been very healthy for us. Yes I don't want her to go to Europe to visit her family but she needs to and I don't need to go with her all the time. While she's gone, I can cook, clean, laundry and go about my life. I'll hang out with my friends or catch up with friends from high school while she's out mixing it up a little bit with my own time and getting peace and quiet in the house. I wouldn't trade it for a thing. We have ultimate trust and respect for each other. We shop together when it's convenient but many times she runs errands or I do it the next time and try to be efficient. If one of us can be at home to do chores while the other is out grocery shopping it makes sense. I just cringe when I hear my friends talk about how both of them go together for everything in life. It is so impractical and given your limited time after work, you only have a few hours before going to bed to get the essentials done.
I would be lucky if you were my sister's husband. No kidding! I am from same part of the world as your wife, just across the border with Serbia and my sis lives in UK: Since she got married her husband did everything to create the space which is 24/7 reserved exclusively for them and their kid. Nobody, including my family is allowed there, so I do not see her so much and we were very close whole life. :( I think you got it. Needless to say, she stopped visiting, even though she is in Europe. Just keep being normal and thanks for sharing your story. Mine is bit sad, sorry.
@@denydeni144 I'm sorry to hear about your situation :( Hopefully things change in the future and you are able to see your sister and not treated as some visitor that needs prior approval access (typical Western culture). I have been completely immersed by my wife's culture and really admire the Eastern European mindset. As you know EE are open, direct, caring but very independent when needed and that is such a breath of fresh air.
@@sonicmoj1 Thank you. The irony is that he is not from west. Sorry as I forgot to mention that they are both from same or precisely neighbouring countries but that is not really any difference.
The finest realism film of life I never seen long time, and was interesting to see it again over again. Thank you to share me this amazing story, simple and enjoyable completely.
This is only the second video I watched on your channel. It kind of feels less curated and 'instagrammy' and contrived in comparison to most other channels. Loving your stories and authenticity. I subscribed.
Stumbled across your channel today, with the coldest city in the world video, and it took me till this second video to realize I'd seen you before. I thought you were such a lovely person no GBBO, and this confirms it. Will try not to binge all this newfound content at once.
Glad you`re back with your family for a while Julia I think we could all see just how tough it was leaving Matt behind but.....think how great it will be when you see him again !!! God Bless....
This is so close to my story too. Im dating a russian girl. I am a british guy. She is the most beautiful caring girl i have ever met. And i feel your pain. Whenever she goes home to visit her gran i miss her so much. Unlike yourselves i havent had the privelige to visit russia yet. But i look foward to it. I really love your contents.
Not going to lie Julia...on that first stop i think we all wanted to give you a hug...when it comes to family we do what we have to do...and you did just that...a touching vlog that brought tears to my eyes...thank you for documenting this important journey...stay safe and love to your family...xx
Woo boy! I'm sure that was an emotional trip. When I saw the thumbnail, I said "no way, there's no way Matt's going to Russia. They're gonna have to split up, that's gonna be weird." But then there he was, at the station. And I was like, ok, well how's this gonna go down? But nope, you guys had to do it the way it happened. I wish you all the best during these times.
It is so beautiful how you care so much for Matt and he you. Melancholy...I believe God made human beings to live forever and so in this broken world when we recognize, as you said, changes occurring (especially in those we love) then it does not go well with how we are made (Body - Soul - Spirit). I pray for you both!
Julia Your home coming was so Beautiful. Enjoy these precious days with your family. Thank you for sharing your feeling and heart. You are a Beautiful soul. ❤
I felt so sad for you 2 when you left to go see your grandma. It is so important to see them when they are getting older and you dont know how long they will be around. I lost both my grandparents and my mother. I still miss them so much. It was nice to see your family again 🙂. Take care Julia and Matt 💞
Beautiful . To see the both sides of life , sadness . And happiness . . Treasure life and family . Lead a good life . Be fair be helpful be kind . Give help to those in need unconditionally . Family is the most important value of life , to see you hug your family members was priceless actions such as this , nothing can compare in life . I shed silent tears viewing this . . . How I wish I could have a hug from my parents and brothers . A simple hug . That is no longer ever possible . . As they are no longer here in life . . Memories you cannot , feel , the life and love inside unless they are there in life . . Live good lives , be kind , helpful , give unconditional love , unconditional help to those who need it . Love your family always . .
Matt & julia . Thank you both , your journeys brought back feelings . A beautiful way with similar family memories could see and feel your feelings . Live life , never stop loving those who matter most . . Ps , think you need a new granny bag . . I have exactly same one as my laundry bag . .;-) Best wishes to you both . Live life , love always .
I am a USA military veteran. I love Russia. I love you guys. I wish and pray I could see you. I'm a real veteran and I have MANY medals in the USA. ...
Russia is a huge place. i like watching your travels. i live in Alabama, USA. Yawl are certainly colder than we get. Where in England do you live? cool videos. keep smilin

one day, I sure would like to visit... The people all seem Genuine and very nice. Well, maybe not so in the gulags.. grin. I've got a friend over here that lives in St. Petersburg... and here in Gadsden Alabama... @@Wild-Siberia
Читая комментарии - ужасаюсь. До чего докатились:злорадство, ненависть, пожелания смерти. Но в то же время радует, что есть адекватные люди, причём из разных стран. На нашей планете так много прекрасных стран и в каждой свой язык, менталитет и культура - это прекрасно, безусловно. Вот только жаль, что не умеют люди жить в мире. Это печально, что есть персонажи, которые считают нормальным оскорблять, желать смерти и злорадствовать бедам других. Этих людей не изменить, они потеряли всё:человечность, здравомыслие, разум, сопереживание другим...
Не могу с Вами не согласиться. Радует то, что адекватные люди всё же не перевелись на свете. Которые не делят людей по цвету кожи, по национальности и прочему. И всё же - многие души поглотила ненависть. У меня родственники в Украине по подвалам сидят, а оптимизма не теряют. Недавно видео прислали, племяшкин день рождения отмечали, не сдаются, молятся о прощении заблудших душ, о спокойствии. Истинно верующих людей ненависть не проглотит и мозг не затуманит. Добра Вам и всего наилучшего.
У них был выбор, они выбрали для себя зло. Так пусть горя в аду не спрашивают:"за что?!". Я верю, что возмездие существует и каждому воздастся по делам и словам его.
Прикольно. Всю жизнь живу в Кемерово, никогда не думал, что кто-то на ФПК будет влог снимать на английском языке )) Моего любимого англоязычного влогера Bald and bankrupt выдворили из РФ. Теперь на тебя подпишусь )) Приятно видеть родную душу.

Sending your family much love from the North Of England all the way to Siberia, boy did I cry when you left Matt at the station. As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

So dont pay any attention, never give any information and DONT PAY. (look it up yourself). You see many of these so called trolls out here with exact the same story. Natasha, Nikki, etc.
Wonderful and very emotional moments. But so happy that you could see your family again. Thanks for sharing and it is real.
Julia you made me cry...when you and your Gran hugged I saw the joy in her face and the way she held you just touched me so much. So sorry Matt could not accompany you to Russia, you guys are so close. Just cherish the time with your family, I'm so happy you are there with them. ❤
Thank you so much Nix ❤️
This is the first video of yours that I ever watched. I have just about watched them all now. WONDERFUL.
Thank you so much Howell! Welcome to the channel 🥰❤️
Aloha! I found your vlog about two weeks ago and have really been enjoying it. You cooking with your family and just enjoying being and doing things together is so heartwarming. Matt seems so happy to have you back home, what a great guy! You two are so sweet together. ❤️🙋🏻♀️
Thank you for showing us reality Julia ... and Matt! So enjoyable
Your film, journeying to Siberia is evocative and a little sad. A strange mixture of the small kindness of strangers on a bus or train, and loved ones at home, huge block buildings beyound human scale.
It's good to see another side of Russia 🇷🇺 than the bleak comments spouted by some in marble palaces.
If matters improve, I hope to visit St Petersburg one day and enjoy the company of Russians who concern themselves with their own, not trampling on others.
May the road rise up to you and yours.
Robert
I saw five of your videos in a row, and this was the best one of the lot.
nice dude
Love you both. I'm a Brit. My sister was buried in Omsk. I've lived in Tashkent. You both make me happy.
Hi Alan, lots of love to you, thank you so much for coming along with us ❤️❤️❤️
Your trip on the train, Yulia, brings back memories for me from my early days in Kazakhstan starting in 2006. All fond memories actually.
I've been married 10 years and let me give you one piece of advice --it's healthy to not be together 24/7. Everything in moderation. There will be in times in life not by choice that you will have to be alone or travel alone and you need to start implementing that in your life. My wife is from Serbia and I'm in Canada. She goes every year for 3-4 weeks to visit her family and uses all of her personal vacation. I then visit my sisters in Arizona for 2-3 weeks and use my personal vacation and then we save 1 or 2 weeks to go together on a trip and it's been very healthy for us. Yes I don't want her to go to Europe to visit her family but she needs to and I don't need to go with her all the time. While she's gone, I can cook, clean, laundry and go about my life. I'll hang out with my friends or catch up with friends from high school while she's out mixing it up a little bit with my own time and getting peace and quiet in the house. I wouldn't trade it for a thing. We have ultimate trust and respect for each other. We shop together when it's convenient but many times she runs errands or I do it the next time and try to be efficient. If one of us can be at home to do chores while the other is out grocery shopping it makes sense. I just cringe when I hear my friends talk about how both of them go together for everything in life. It is so impractical and given your limited time after work, you only have a few hours before going to bed to get the essentials done.
I would be lucky if you were my sister's husband. No kidding! I am from same part of the world as your wife, just across the border with Serbia and my sis lives in UK: Since she got married her husband did everything to create the space which is 24/7 reserved exclusively for them and their kid. Nobody, including my family is allowed there, so I do not see her so much and we were very close whole life. :( I think you got it. Needless to say, she stopped visiting, even though she is in Europe. Just keep being normal and thanks for sharing your story. Mine is bit sad, sorry.
@@denydeni144 I'm sorry to hear about your situation :( Hopefully things change in the future and you are able to see your sister and not treated as some visitor that needs prior approval access (typical Western culture). I have been completely immersed by my wife's culture and really admire the Eastern European mindset. As you know EE are open, direct, caring but very independent when needed and that is such a breath of fresh air.
@@sonicmoj1 Thank you. The irony is that he is not from west. Sorry as I forgot to mention that they are both from same or precisely neighbouring countries but that is not really any difference.
@@denydeni144 I understand. It can happen from anyone in any country.
everyone is different you're projecting your values onto others
The finest realism film of life I never seen long time, and was interesting to see it again over again. Thank you to share me this amazing story, simple and enjoyable completely.
Thank you so much! Really really appreciate that! 🥰❤️
This is only the second video I watched on your channel. It kind of feels less curated and 'instagrammy' and contrived in comparison to most other channels. Loving your stories and authenticity. I subscribed.
Thank you Martin, really appreciate that ❤️
What a beautiful person this young lady is
Julia, hope your trip back goes well, and that your gran is okay. Well done you for going to see her. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Thank you so much Hamish, really appreciate it ❤️
Stumbled across your channel today, with the coldest city in the world video, and it took me till this second video to realize I'd seen you before. I thought you were such a lovely person no GBBO, and this confirms it. Will try not to binge all this newfound content at once.
Hope and pray that everything will be alright with Grandma!
Thank you so much Donna ❤️
I felt much sadness for you and Matt yet felt so much happiness for your grandma! My heart. 🫂💗
Thank you so much Elizabeth ❤️
Glad you`re back with your family for a while Julia I think we could all see just how tough it was leaving Matt behind but.....think how great it will be when you see him again !!! God Bless....
Thank you so much John❤️ I already can’t wait to see him ❤️
Follow your heart. I glad to see you and Matt together again.
Hoping for your gran’s recovery ❤ family is everything!
Thank you so much Krista! ❤️
immigration...I was born in 1980s
I was amazed at the professionalism of this production and found myself emotionally caught by its spontaneity.
Thank you so much Paul! 🙏🏼❤️
Enjoy your time with your Gran and family. We don't realize how precious each moment is until it becomes just a memory.
Couldn’t agree more. Thank you so much ❤️
I was born in the 1980s...my parents came to america after the British invasion. my mother was a hippie
Very emotional human story telling of life and love thank you for sharing x
This is so close to my story too. Im dating a russian girl. I am a british guy. She is the most beautiful caring girl i have ever met. And i feel your pain. Whenever she goes home to visit her gran i miss her so much. Unlike yourselves i havent had the privelige to visit russia yet. But i look foward to it. I really love your contents.
Thank you so much Matt! If her name is Yuliya too then that would be crazy 😀❤️
@@MattandJulia Her name is anna. She is from stavrapol
Lots of love to both of you ❤️❤️❤️
It's one of t he most emotional blog I watched for a long time. Enjoy your time with your family, I'll be waiting for the next episode.
You will never regret going to see your family. Awesome video. 👍
Thank you Paul ❤️
Siberia seems to be warm. Warm with temperature, people, and family
Not going to lie Julia...on that first stop i think we all wanted to give you a hug...when it comes to family we do what we have to do...and you did just that...a touching vlog that brought tears to my eyes...thank you for documenting this important journey...stay safe and love to your family...xx
Thank you so much Matt ❤️
Thank you for staying in our beautiful country!
Woo boy! I'm sure that was an emotional trip. When I saw the thumbnail, I said "no way, there's no way Matt's going to Russia. They're gonna have to split up, that's gonna be weird." But then there he was, at the station. And I was like, ok, well how's this gonna go down? But nope, you guys had to do it the way it happened. I wish you all the best during these times.
Thank you Dave 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing with these places that so dear to me too
Cudne!!!!!! Wszystkiego dobrego!!!!!!!!
Thank you ❤️
It is so beautiful how you care so much for Matt and he you. Melancholy...I believe God made human beings to live forever and so in this broken world when we recognize, as you said, changes occurring (especially in those we love) then it does not go well with how we are made (Body - Soul - Spirit). I pray for you both!
Much love guys!
Lots of love to the 3 of you Zach! ❤️❤️❤️
Julia this was emotional for me, it's hard to watch someone hurting. God bless you both.
Lots of love Karla ❤️
Glad you made the trip back home safely Julia, keep up the great spirit 🥰🙏
Thank you so much ❤️
Julia Your home coming was so Beautiful. Enjoy these precious days with your family. Thank you for sharing your feeling and heart. You are a Beautiful soul. ❤
Thank you so much April ❤️
@@MattandJulia 😍🌹❤️
🙏🏼❤️
I felt so sad for you 2 when you left to go see your grandma. It is so important to see them when they are getting older and you dont know how long they will be around. I lost both my grandparents and my mother. I still miss them so much. It was nice to see your family again 🙂. Take care Julia and Matt 💞
Thank you so much Sandra! Really appreciate it! So sorry to hear about your mother and grandparents ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful . To see the both sides of life , sadness . And happiness . . Treasure life and family . Lead a good life . Be fair be helpful be kind . Give help to those in need unconditionally .

Easily one of your best videos to date! Thanks for sharing.
Читая комментарии - ужасаюсь. До чего докатились:злорадство, ненависть, пожелания смерти. Но в то же время радует, что есть адекватные люди, причём из разных стран. На нашей планете так много прекрасных стран и в каждой свой язык, менталитет и культура - это прекрасно, безусловно. Вот только жаль, что не умеют люди жить в мире. Это печально, что есть персонажи, которые считают нормальным оскорблять, желать смерти и злорадствовать бедам других. Этих людей не изменить, они потеряли всё:человечность, здравомыслие, разум, сопереживание другим...
К сожалению, у многих людей сейчас гниль в душе и только. Им чужды сострадание, поддержка. Но адекватных ещё много.
Не могу с Вами не согласиться. Радует то, что адекватные люди всё же не перевелись на свете. Которые не делят людей по цвету кожи, по национальности и прочему. И всё же - многие души поглотила ненависть.
У меня родственники в Украине по подвалам сидят, а оптимизма не теряют. Недавно видео прислали, племяшкин день рождения отмечали, не сдаются, молятся о прощении заблудших душ, о спокойствии. Истинно верующих людей ненависть не проглотит и мозг не затуманит. Добра Вам и всего наилучшего.
@@hurremsultan8710
У меня тоже есть родственники в Украине и бОльшая часть из них в основном проводят день в молитвах. Верят в лучшее.
Согласна с Вами. В людях ничего святого не осталось. Думают, что их поступки и слова обойдёт стороной бумеранг, но нет.
У них был выбор, они выбрали для себя зло. Так пусть горя в аду не спрашивают:"за что?!".
Я верю, что возмездие существует и каждому воздастся по делам и словам его.
A Lovely film. Compelling to watch all the way
Прикольно. Всю жизнь живу в Кемерово, никогда не думал, что кто-то на ФПК будет влог снимать на английском языке ))
Моего любимого англоязычного влогера Bald and bankrupt выдворили из РФ. Теперь на тебя подпишусь )) Приятно видеть родную душу.
Ой, спасибо вам большое 🤗❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your life experience.This video makes me ride an emotional roller coaster. I'm sad. I'm happy. I'm especially hungry when I see you Gran. ❤️
Thank you so much Paul! ❤️🙏🏼
This is such a sweet little journey you're sharing with us. Have a good time with your family :)
Thank you so much Nicholas 🙏🏼❤️

Glad you are getting to see family Julia! I love your videos- you guys are so kind to everyone you meet, I love getting to see those interactions! Also Siberia seems beautiful- I love those trees in the clip from the train!
Enjoy your family, and the cold! 😁
Thank you very much Breckin ❤️
Awesome! Congratulations from Portugal for this video!😀
Sending your family much love from the North Of England all the way to Siberia, boy did I cry when you left Matt at the station. As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Thank you so much Nick ❤️ It was one of the most difficult things we have done as a couple 😣
You made me cry when you and your sister hugged. 💕😍
🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
