After weeks of renovations and settling into our old stone cottage, weโ€™re taking a much-needed breather! ๐ŸŒฟ This week, we head to the Scottish coast to pick up a vintage ceramic sink that Adam found, giving us the perfect excuse for a beach walk with Benji as the sun sets. Back home, Johnny shares ideas for transforming our unused patio into an outdoor workshop/office/garden room, making better use of the space. We also take a peek inside Adamโ€™s upcycling workshop, where heโ€™s working on some retro telephone lamps for a customer. And to round off the day? A cosy bit of cottage cooking! ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿก

  1. Glad you found my tip for cleaning the glass on your burner helpful ๐Ÿ‘
    Take care Tony, here in the UK ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง โค

  2. Always good to see a video from you. The tip for cleaning the glass in the wood burner door also works on silver. Not sure if it works on brass but probably. Free cleaning products are always good. Also think about keeping ash from the stove to dig into your garden. I think it contains potassium

  3. Dinner looks yummy i am a terrible cook i dont like cooking lol my husband is a better cook than me lol keep doing your vids love them

  4. The mozzarella meatballs looked delicious I could smell them cooking. Iโ€™m going to make the spinach mash . The telephone lights look great.

  5. Scenery looks beautiful, dinner looked good also. Maybe you need a metal ash bucket to put the ashes in to carry outside allot easier to carry and when its windy the ash won't blow onto you or the floor just a thought ๐Ÿค”

  6. Hi boys, where was the village where you walked Benji on the beach? It looked gorgeous. We are looking for a coastal town in the north to move to, currently on the south coast, it's so bloody expensive!

  7. Brings back so many memories of cleaning out the fireplace in the mornings ready for the day, and always hitting the corner tray on the door ๐Ÿ˜Š
    the sink looks great outdoors..
    Oh my the phone, I remember I had a Red one with glow in the dark numbers on the dial it was left at the old house I moved too.. lovely memories of home life in uk .
    Countryside Scenery is fabulous
    Yummy Dinner looked delicious.
    Happy adventures to all Three of You Benji is one Happy Doggie

  8. Now I am hungry ๐Ÿ˜‚. Thank you for this relaxing and entertaining video โค

  9. Hi guys, I noticed at the beginning of the video you found yourself in the newly planted woodland. They looked very new saplings that should look nice in a few years.

  10. The meal you made looked really good, Johnny. Good idea to make two huge meatballs instead of lots of small ones. Iโ€™ll have to try that. I love mashed potatoes too. All while slugging a glass or more of wine ๐Ÿท ๐Ÿทhaha.

    I love the Belfast sink I think that will be great for cleaning gardening tools etc.
    You could get some containers to plant flowers and or bulbs in them. We have a couple of whiskey barrels small ones obviously lol they look nice with flowers ๐ŸŒบ ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒท๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒนin them.

    Adam, being as creative as always, and Benji enjoying the walk on the beach.

    Terrific vlog ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. Good sink fellasโ€ฆโ€ฆ.go for hot & cold water to the sink. Weโ€™ve had one before outside and having hot and cold is a god send at times. You wonโ€™t regret it for those dirty outside jobs. Itโ€™s so nice washing hands/veg and animals outside. Keep up the good work with your vlogs ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

  12. Benjiโ€™s eyes when he was waiting on the star biscuits ๐Ÿฅน we have a springer who is a total slave to food too albeit we are on the Ayrshire coast. X

  13. Must of been very short people if thats the original legs for the sink.I have 2 ,one with a raw side like yours but with a rounded front edge and one quite a bit bigger that I found when passing a house that had taken it out,they didnt want it,kindly they even bought it to my home.

  14. Your cooking was great, and that dish looked delicious. So did the lovely red wine! So good to see the three of you living a good, happy life together. Blessings to you all, from a sunny West Devon, England, and Jilly & Madge. xxx

  15. Hi Guys and Benji. Another great video. The Cottage looks amazing as always. My mum and Gran always cleaned the frame round the coal fire with the ashes. Took me right back to my childhood which was a long time ago. We are going to try your recipe with the Meat balls. Looks delicious. I say we but I mean my husband Brian ๐ŸคฃTake care guys ๐Ÿค—

  16. I love that you let us watch you just living your lives together sometimes. So many vloggers keep a conversation going with the viewers most of the time, which is good in itself. But sometimes it is nice to just watch as you eat breakfast and talk with each other and things like. I really enjoy watching your channel. Its become a part of my day. Thank you for sharing.

  17. I love that moody twilight sky on the beach, just beautiful, Iโ€™m sure the whole family enjoyed the walk. The sink looks great, and heavy ๐Ÿคฃ but itโ€™ll be a very useful addition. Thank you for sharing the recipe, delicious comfort food. Have a great week ๐Ÿ‘โค๏ธ

  18. Oh, that beach walk with lavender and amethyst clinging to the sand and sky! So lovely! Would love to hear how Adam got involved in the awesome camera and phone repurposing; was it serendipity or purposeful? TIP: Run the onion under cold water to peel as it helps slide the husk(?) off more easily. Until next time, love and hugs from me in New Mexico USA.
