tonight's barbecue seems a bit quieter yeah it's been quiet it's been quiet it's gone quieter because of what's happening in russia and ukraine i believe that's why it's gone a bit quiet it seems quite out there right so that's the first part of the video uh another part we're gonna show a resort very close to our shop maybelles family is coming tomorrow yeah tomorrow i haven't seen them like one year i think since november 2020 when we got married hey yeah i bought one year over one year i think you're a bit nervous about meeting everyone again happy excited though right yeah so that's

coffee the coffee's good here as well definitely more quiet than usual hey seems quiet not so many people look on the beach doesn't look very busy a few people but it was definitely busier than this

catanoy beach water's looking beautiful look at check out the waves nice busy used to be a lot busier [ __ ] so much busier used to be packed to this place i remember coming here in 2018 getting to the beach their entrance and just turning around and leaving was that busy that was nice some people just recognized me from sweden called me over so they should be coming for a coffee soon where's jay lost him well the people on this beach have been more accepting than one end of cutter beach no one even took one hardly these are taking them nice to meet you this is the katatani resort on
