Tipsy Gavin trying to scare the roomie is a cinematic moment.
Gavin at YALC really said: “I’m going to be resplendent and glowing in every group photo.”

You're so welcome and so glad you loved the candle! Still can't believe you were the ones running around above me the first night 😂😂 Was so lovely seeing you and thank you for being so lovely!
you and codie playing knock down ginger on ashleigh and becca was hilarious, you and your coffee and cocktails love it. don't apologise you lived in the moment and ash and tobu running down the stairs was so CUTE

Nothing but respect for your decision to buy a book for the sole purpose of getting the Heartstopper bag 😂 Love it!
This vlog is so much fun! It was soooooo lovely to meet you in person and go for drinks. The best hug of the weekend definitely came from you! You put my B-roll to shame 😂 I think you sum up the YALC thing, it’s the atmosphere and the people I’m there for more than the actual event itself.

Looking forward to when we hug again, we need to go for coffee and spend more time together, I didn’t get enough of my Beth and miss you!! 💕
Ughhhh, you fill my heart. I am having a tough, tough night and this was exactly what I needed. You're such a light. Thank you for all the great content 💜
Looks like so much fun 🤩

That dragon on a tomb is amazing!!! Glad you had such a fun time.
I can't wait to watch this chaos! Hopefully I'll get to attend YALC next year.

Leaving the babies home is definitely the worst part 🥺 I did buy a LOT at YALC. I also bought Only Almost Devastated so I could get a bag from Heartstopper 😂 but I feel like I will enjoy the book as well. It was so nice to meet you there and I had such a good time. Definitely coming back next year.
IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS and I’m commenting in advance so I don’t forget again xxxx
When you guys knocked on your friend's room and ran away...oh my goodness that was hilarious! I nearly laughed as hard as you guys did. It was so funny and I'm so happy that you had a good time 😄💕
Looks like you had so much fun. Love that you met so many people. That would have been my favorite part for sure!

Omg your babies are getting so big!!!
I loved Ash and Tobu’s reaction to you getting home. They are adorable :-) I do love the idea of YALC, and would love to go (I think although my balloon-phobic anxiety ridden self would probably not cope - but who knows maybe one year). I’m sad to have seen the people at illumicrate have got covid post-YALC though
Determined to be more sociable and less overwhelmed next year and talk to more people. Great vlog. Was great re-living it all.

This was fun and loved seeing other Booktubers that I watch in your vlog! If I could I would come visit England, looks beautiful and lots of friendly people. The kitties were so adorable, I really do miss having a cat, but we're getting a new puppy at the end of this month, she's a German Shorthaired Pointer and we have named her Belle, I was a big influence on the name because that's my favorite princess and she loves books. She's very cute and she's going to have so many nicknames...lol. I think those red marks are definitely from socks rubbing against skin and if you have sensitive or dry skin the fabric irritated it or if you got some sun a little bit then it could be a bit of sun poisoning. We went to Disney world the last week of June and I actually had a small tan where my legs saw some light and where my sock line was I had a little bit of red marks which was due to sun poisoning. I have sensitive skin and I'm half Irish so my legs usually no longer tan, but no guess being out in the sun for hours walking or standing around helped...lol. That's the only thing I can think of. Hope that helped. Glad you had a great time and had fun! 😊💕💕💕
