Good morning my darlings welcome to a new Vlog for the first time in a while I’ve actually got hair and makeup done to um say good morning to you because today we have been blessed with a blue sky day and so Charlie and I and Jake
Are are doing a very very last minute shoot day we literally planned this yesterday but um it makes such a difference having a nice blue sky day when you do a shoot so I’ve been spending the morning getting bits and Bobs ready of course did my Pilates this
Morning which was great so beautiful in that studio when it’s a blue sky day um and I’m not going to lie I actually had a little mini meltdown just now and I feel like I have just forgotten how to put outfits together like I really struggled so we’re not going to be doing
Too much like extra content because we’ve got a couple of brand projects that we need to shoot today um and this cute little sheep jumper I will I’m probably just going to do as like a warm-up shot because I have not done any photography or videography or any kind
Of shoots this entire year so while my hair relaxes cuz it’s very much in um it’s a Jane Fonda with the huge hair it’s in Jane Fonda mode at the moment so while my hair relaxes and as a bit of warm up or’ll just do some cute little
Cozy photos in this outfit and then we’ll shoot the bits that we are planning to do for the brands and yeah it’s a gorgeous day really beautiful blue sky day Jake’s just arrived um they’re doing a couple of little house photos I just had a bowl of my leak and
Potato soup that I made yesterday and I swear it’s even better on day two and homemade croutons just make all the difference anyway I think I can hear them shouting which probably means it’s time to Go okay we are here at beautiful Cornwell Mana we’ve shot here many many a time before it really is so beautiful and we’re very grateful to the team here for allowing us to come and shoot on beautiful days like today so the secret behind shooting fabulous dresses on a
Very chilly January day is puffer coats and fluffy boots between shots so we are as you might be able to guess from the Sparkles underneath shooting some gorgeous content for needle and thread and a few nice kind of Countryside lifestyle photos as well Jake’s just getting a few drone shots I need to
Brush my hair by the looks of it and then we’ll get snapping it’s Authentic Are Think the Wellies and the walking stick really go with the aesthetic do you want to see what else goes with the aesthetic yeah hey are they add anola yeah cuz it’s pluming freezing chil you’re all right you got your pu I have right day feels like spring if we showing everyone the spectacular
Setting here we go look at this does feel like spring today even though it’s going to be back to Winter tomorrow probably it’s like a painting [Applause] That’s and then what’s the back like we’ll do another look over the shoulder shot yeah Ju Just some more of that actually it’s lovely and how easy is it to walk can you do a few steps towards me I this will be very elegant but I can try La la La and that is a crap hopefully Charlie got some nice um behind the scenes shots there my goodness I am numb my fingers are completely asleep but um I think we got some really really nice shots here a mixture of kind of rural Cozy Lounge not loungewear um knitwear like I’m wearing
Now and some beautiful elevated elegant shots for needle and thread I’ve been wearing this knit a lot lately this this is from Johnson’s of Elgen and is so thick and cozy keeping me nice and toasty warm okay looks like the boys are packing up the Drone if any of the clips are
Landscape I shall pop some of them in here because Jake always gets the most beautiful drone shots and we have had the most stunning Low Winter light but that’s it it’s a wrap let’s get home let’s make a nice hot drink and hopefully defrost a little even on a cold January day it’s
It’s still just the most incredible house beautiful beautiful architecture the iconic gardens famous from the holiday film the date scene and actually my favorite area is this little garden over here the topr is shaped all year round of course so it’s got some really interesting structures even when
There’s no Blooms of course I’ll probably bring you back here in spring when the panies are out and the Rose Garden is blooming and then you’ve got this Sensational view over here down to the Lakes absolutely beautiful I absolutely love it here love it love it
Love it and if you didn’t know you can of course get married here as our lovely Ben and Robin did there’s a little church tucked way behind there not sure how many you can sleep in the house but quite a few um there’s a beautiful dining room in the house on the first
Evening of Ben and Robin’s wedding we had a marquee up there where we had dinner we had an afternoon tea down here by by the um by the pond I think this is Wisteria obviously it’s still very much asleep at the moment gosh I literally cannot feel my
Hands but yeah we had a lovely little afternoon tea down there I think there’s a few photos of that on Cornwell’s Instagram anyway let’s get in the car and get warm hello again my darlings we are back home again I have just about defrosted I am about to do the monumental
Tidy up of all of the clothes some of which I did shoot some of which I didn’t shoot but a big tidy up is in order and I think Charlie’s about to start cooking a nice Cavolo Nero pasta dish so cannot wait but my favorite evening treat I’m
Going to multitask while I’m doing a little bit of a tidy up later I showed you in I think it’s the end of the last Vlog I did my big at home LED masking and I mentioned within that that actually what I do more regularly is I
Use this bad boy this device so this is my current body LED face mask and this is something that I’m trying to get better at using it every day you don’t need to use it every day I would say like 3 to four four or five every other
Day is the perfect amount to use this little and often I have spoken about this so many times before but I thought seeing as I mentioned LED briefly in the last Vlog I would once again share why in my opinion this is without doubt I’m actually going to be very bold and say
This is the best money that you can spend for your face wow that’s that’s quite a big statement after your food this is the best investment you can make for your face um partly because unlike products it’s it doesn’t run out you’ve always got it um and it’s just so
Powerful so if you are unfamiliar with LED basically led the way that I I like to explain it when I’m when I’m telling friends is that the power of LED light it basically goes deep under the surface of the skin into the skin cells and it tricks those skin cells into thinking
That they’re damaged when in fact they are not so they go into repair mode what this makes the skin do is not only create more collagen which gives you brighter skin it improves skin tone skin texture and the thing that most people notice the difference on is anti-aging
Benefits so Improvement in wrinkles and just overall healthy looking glowing skin I noticed such a huge difference there are of course lots and lots of LED masks on the market but we recently got some information from current body um and they’re saying that this one is 27%
More powerful than other LED masks on the market which is absolutely incredible um and the reasons why I personally love it first of all the fact that it’s silicone you see some really big clunky ones on the market market and then I’m not going to lie they just look
So uncomfortable that I don’t think I would ever do it I think the thing that makes this so effective is that it’s so easy to do and so comfortable to do that you really do just slot it into your routine you can of course just lie in
Bed with it on your face or you can tuck the little battery because this is um it charges just with the same as your iPhone um it’s a little battery pack I like to tuck it into the top of my leggings and walk around while I’m doing the treatment you could start cooking
You could do some ironing you could um take the dogs for a walk in the garden whatever you want to do or just Potter about or just lie down and listen to an audible book so yeah it’s because it’s so soft and bendy it’s incredibly comfortable to wear and that kind of
Pillow us pill pillow is what also makes it so impactful because the LED lights are closer to your skin which makes the benefits even better so within this you’ve got red light and you’ve also got near infrared light which goes even deeper into the skin there is actually a
Graph on the website I’ll will pop it on the screen here so you can see which really gives you those long lasting anti-aging benefits because it’s going so deep into those Skin’s layers um and for me especially after coming back from holiday I find it fantastic because of
Any discoloration on my face it really helps to create a more even tone and texture to my skin so big fan I’ve been using this for many years now and it’s the product that I recommend the most to my friends to family members it’s something that I have bought very often
As a gift I couldn’t recommend it any more highly so I’m going to take my makeup off pop this on and before I forget I do have a discount code for this from current current body which will get you 15% off the current body LED devices and that is Josie CB I will
Leave a link down below so you can make the most of that if you want any more information I will leave a link Down Below have a little look on the website because also the before and afters and there’s over a, F star reviews they are absolutely mindblowing the amount of um
Incredible results that people have been seeing from using this it’s not a good time for me to talk about it cuz my skin looks so tired and dull at the moment but a lot of people see huge improvements in brightness tone and texture in as little as 4 weeks I would
Say actually it’s almost instant within a couple of uses I feel like I can already see Improvement in my skin so there we go I’m going to take my makeup off pop this on and then let’s do our Post photo shoot tidy up we love to multitask okay I’m about to look a
Little bit like Hannibal lecture or maybe you think I already do woo there we go um so there we go that’s this this is why I love it so much because I’ve now got the thingy I’ve tucked it into the waistband of my leggings so I’m free
To party walk around the house um this is why I think I have good such good sticking to doing my leding if that makes sense because it’s just such an easy thing to slot into my routine and I really see such a difference when I’m
Doing it um I had a few questions on whether you can use this on other body parts and yeah of course you can because it’s silicone it’s very moldable so what you could do LED has recently been linked to hair growth maybe this is why my eyebrows have been pretty good lately
Um but if you have got thinning hair or your husband has got thinning hair you could literally just like put this on top of your head and wear it like a really crazy cap that that would be so funny um if you want to improve the collagen and skin tone and texture and
Wrinkle and crappiness of your skin on your neck and on your decolle area then of course you could just lie down you could do 10 minutes of it on your face and you could do 10 minutes just lie the whole thing on your chest I like to um
Put it on my hands as well being a gardener uh my hands I am conscious of getting little dark spots on them so I like to treat my hands as well as you see I just double cleansed and I’ve got nothing on my face at the moment to
Clean my mask I just use um I’ll leave a link down below it’s quite a natural spray I think it’s from like is it called Nature’s kitchen or the natural kitchen I just spray the mask and then use one of my reusable cotton pads to
Wipe over it I normally do that when I finished masking so there’s nothing on it um for when I next use it and then after I’ve masked so after like 10 15 minutes of Gone by sometimes I do a d bubble wormy if I’m really in the flow
Of doing something or really in the flow of listening to a podcast while I’m lying down um and by the way fine for the eyes it’s not going to damage your eyes in the slightest then um I will put on some nice hydrating serums and then I’ll basically start my evening skare
Routines but yeah I just absolutely love that I can literally wander around while I am pampering so I’m going to do that thing I’m just going to gather all the clothes that are in our bedroom that I need to take up to the dressing room right and then we’ll head up there and
Do let’s do a 15minute blitz and I reckon we can get that room tidy this is not even half of the state that my dressing room is in right now um this is what happens when I have a last minute photo shoot I was literally trying on so
Many things but honestly I really struggled as I mentioned earlier to put together just like normal outfits the best I can come up with is leggings and a cozy knit I think that’s just what is on on my brain and all I want to wear
Right now so I think tomorrow as long as it’s not a really rainy day cuz nothing inspires me less than a rainy day I think I will just do a little bit of outfit planning to try and re excite myself and teach myself to um put together some outfits when I’m not in
Such a rush but yeah okay I’m going to pop a podcast on and Blitz this [Applause] space Okay I have done two backto back LED sessions I sometimes get like a little nodules on my face where it’s been pressed on but that’s no problem so now oops I’m still attached just a little bit of quick skin care after my leding this is the Charlotte Tilbury hydrating face mist just
Feels really good to mist your face after an LED I’m using really nice lightweight products this is an oule eye serum because I will do more skin care before I go to bed so it only needs to be really nice lightweight products now elmus Pro collagen Rose serum this is beautifully calming as
Well perfect after a day outside in the cold and now I’m going to pop on one of the light Elizabeth ardan ceramide capsules they’re just they I find it sinks into the skin a little bit more quickly than their original camide capsules and yet it gives my skin a
Really nice slip for doing a little bit of facial massage which feels really good when I’ve got time after some Led masking I’ve got these two little Jade nodules that I got from Bamford and they’re really Cooling and they just feel so good for some facial massage I
Don’t really know what I’m doing I just do what feels good I don’t know how they’re so cool and that’s it just 2 minutes of facial massage I think I’m going to have to remove my eye makeup properly before I go to bed I didn’t do a very good job
Earlier um but yes my skin is very very happy with that absolute treat see even when you’re doing this it requires you to be to be manually doing something whereas with the LED mask you’re literally just walking around and getting pampered not forgetting a nice bit of lip
Balm where is my allies of skin favorite lip balm can’t find it but I’ve got my clay Depo lip serum here so this will do the trick and I used the timer of the LED mask to really motivate me to get the tidying done and I’m very happy with how
Much Tiding I got done so there we go right I think by now would have finished cooking our dinner the fire will be lit downstairs it’s always quite exhausting doing a shoot date so I’m very much looking forward to parking my bottom on the sofa kissing my boys eating pasta
And watching Netflix one an exciting Friday evening but honestly my dream Friday evening fresh spaghetti with Cavolo Nero pesto sausages fire Netflix husband somewhere it’s the perfect evening dexi you want me to keep playing with you I’ve already been playing with you for 10 minutes Mommy eats and then we continue Playing Good morning my darlings it’s now Saturday morning last night was so chilled literally the most perfect evening and we had the nonat um cavero pesto pasta which was scrumptious so Charlie and I have decided that we’re going to go for a really nice long dog walk today so we’ve both been here in
The gym doing some stretches first thing I’ve done a 20 minute no sorry 30 minute stretch yoga flow on the pelaton app this morning I’ve got on these are actually not adanola these are the Amazon leggings with the crossover detail you can tell um oh the logo looks
So similar to Lululemon but it is in fact Amazon and then the sports bra is Lulu I think possibly one that I got in that net Porter haul it is actually freezing in here I came in wearing a fleece um but with a Dyson fan on and
Some movement I have warmed up a little bit I think Charlie’s going to do a really nice brunch then we’re going to cook we’re going to slow cook a shepherd’s pie all day today to have for our dinner we’re probably going to head out somewhere explore something at some
Point today um or maybe just spend the afternoon in the garden who knows but for now I’m going to head inside get showered and have a lovely Breakfast Hey kids keep me it keep keep me keep me keep Keep that’s okay we have just got back from a lovely walk through the village picked up some um chicken to have for a roast tomorrow and some meat for a shepherd’s pie later as you might be able to see the sun has come out hallelujah it’s still very cold I have
Got a thermal layer on underneath my wool jumper which is keeping me nice and toasty warm so at this time of year on sunny days I’m just normally quite desperate to get get into the garden not that it’s it’s not as enjoyable as spring gardening obviously because the
Temperatures are so cold but being outside just makes me feel good and um yeah I’m just itching to get started but there’s there’s actually very few things aside from obviously last week we did micro greens um there’s very few things that you can start off in January even
Though we are coming slowly towards February but something that you can do is actually your chilies and your oine because they take so long to germinate however I’m not sure that I’m going to do any more seed planting today maybe maybe I’ll do a little bit tomorrow what
I’m going to do instead is really go and take a look at my raised beds and see if we need to do any prep on them before the big growing season begins so as I’m sure you know the taste and the nutrients that you get from your homegrown veg really starts with the
Soil and if you can pack your soil with nutrients and get your soil as healthy and full of different microbes as possible than your fruit and veg that you grow mostly veg in my case raspberries of fruit though aren’t they yeah um yeah it’s going to be tastier
And so much better for you so one of the ways that I like to ensure that my kitchen beds kitchen garden beds are as rich in soil nutrients as possible is a very easy method called Chop and drop now I did this at the end
Of the growing season in um I think it was maybe September or October you might remember I did it in a vlog but some of the winter veg is starting to come to the end now as well so basically chop and drop any veg that’s growing you chop
It up and you drop it back on the soil and then you can put either homemade or bought compost on top of it and as your veg your old veg that’s all chopped up breaks down um it really feeds the new soil very exciting I know it’s basically
Composting for lazy people AKA me so that’s what I’m going to do today very exciting it’s going to make the beds look a little bit neater something that you can also do to add more nitrogen into the soil is put coffee grounds in there obviously this doesn’t work if you
Have an espresso um or pods but if you do use ground coffee then the ground coffee I’ll show you in a second you can just break it up put it in your beds and it does need a round eight months to um really decompose but by the time we get
To summer when my tomatoes will be hungry for nitrogen in the soil it will have fully broken down so I think that’s where I’m going to start Today Keep well it looks as though a tornado has gone over the kitchen Garden but as you can see I have been snipping down all of the veg which has gone over I’ve got just one Cavolo Cavolo Nero plant Still Standing I’ve got a few more chops to do
Including this old spinach and that Cavolo Nero plant there dexie but yes so I’ve chopped everything up nice and small and now I’m using a hand rake to just kind of mix it in with the soil timing is really good because next week I’m going to order some nice fresh
Compost and lay that on top but that’ll probably arrive in about a week’s time so it means that all of these bits that I’m leaving on the surface will have time to get exposed to the elements maybe a little bit of rain will fall on them and I’ll just help them to
Decompose found a load of carrots in the ground lots of them have got little holes in so probably not edible um but there’s a few good ones in there a few of which I have chopped up as well to add into the compost but yeah we’re nearly there I’m listening to a really
Good Dr rang and chaty podcast while I do it and as you can imagine I’ve got lots of help from my little assistants so I reckon another 20 minutes and this veg bed will be done I’m not going to overdo it I’m probably probably not going to do this bed today we’ve got
Some good kale left growing in this one traditional curly kale and we have got some Mega carrots in here some of the biggest carrots I’ve ever seen in my life actually um but yeah I think I’ll leave this bed till next weekend or are you going to do this one for me
Dexi yes don’t don’t worry about this one mommy I’ll take a charge of this Bed I realized I actually have a couple of bags of the rocket grow it’s a lovely um localish brand made in sunet soil improve around the back of the greenhouse I thought I’m just going to pop a couple of bags on here there is a third bag but um I’m going to have to
Ask Charlie to grab it cuz I think there’s a big spider living underneath it so this will just help to flatten everything down and get the worms excited and yeah just really helped to improve my soil ready for the spring growing Season Okay back in the kitchen it feels good to have spent a little bit of time outside my Apple watch actually thought I was doing exercise then based on and I wasn’t wearing this when I was doing my yoga or our dog walk and I’ve nearly
Closed all the Rings I only tend to wear my Apple watch on days when I’m at home it just helps me to remember to get up and get moving so I’ve popped on um some of my leak and potato soup this is probably the last day that I should
Consume it cuz I did make it 2 and 1 half days ago so yeah I think 3 days of homemade soup is probably enough yesterday I made an extra batch of croutons literally only like a small handful but they’re so delicious so I’ll just stick those in the agur and I’ll
Have them on top um and I’ve also got these mung beans in the fridge while I wait for my micro greens to grow so that’ll be a nice little addition on top of the soup as well and that should keep me going until we make our delicious shepherd’s pie for Later yummy All righty up in the dressing room and I’ve just made myself a little afternoon pick me up my mud water still think it’s such a funny name this time I did not put oat milk in I have just used the uh coconut powder to add a little bit of creaminess I didn’t even
Add a sweetener I’m hoping it’s still going to taste nice but it’s still too hot at the moment um and I’ve just popped on a really nice bmy lipstick this is the Hydra shiny lip Stilo from Kiko in number 16 and it’s just super hydrating it’s literally a balm but with
A really nice amount of color so do you know what I need some face mest as well face mist a cup of yummy drink and a bowl of soup are the perfect remedies for a few hours in the garden now I am planning on early cooking our shepherd’s
Pie um shortly but before we lose the light I have got two deliveries that I’m going to unbox with you I know I said I might do a little bit of like outfit planning but I just don’t have the don’t have the energy for that and I’m not
Looking cute enough for that I feel like when you’re putting together outfits you want to have like freshly washed hair and be looking cute but I’m looking post gardening disheveled so we’re not going to do that but um I had an aboc cromi delivery I
Saw that they had a few nice bits left in their sale so I placed this order a few days ago and um I was very much inspired by Kate Hutchins on Instagram whose fashion I adore she’s so gorgeous so Chic Actually I don’t even think her
Thermals were from Unico but it made me think I need to up my thermal game when I saw one of her reals so I’ve bought some heat tech from Unico I’m normally an M&S thermals kind of girl so be interesting to compare let’s open this one first o by the way
I’ve been wearing this perfume today it’s the red hibiscus from Joe Malone London and it’s absolutely glorious there is a lot of plastic in this Unico order that’s not good ah these are actually the heat tech leggings and I got them in white because I thought that that would be the most um
Like easy to disguise color underneath thin trousers if I want to wear some nice like lightweight trousers but I want it to be warm so yeah maybe even while skiing as well some people look very glamorous in white thermal leggings I think I look like a melin man but
Never mind this is the off-white long sleeve um scoop neck top maybe I could give these a little try for you in a second 100% cotton lining this is the extra warm heat tech did I mention I’m going to Paris next weekend don’t know
If I did yet but it’s going to be cold there so I thought that extra layers of thermals would be really helpful for that it’s very soft and it actually feels thinner than the M&S thermals so that’s exciting Ultra War heat tech the warmest of all heat tech in awar this I
Can tell feels a lot thicker cuz it comes in its own pretty thick box heat tech fibers capture the energy of water molecules wow emitted from the body and convert them into warmth 2.25 warmer than the original best for severe cold highly insulating layers prevent warmth from escaping
Brushed fabric makes it even warmer wower this sounds amazing so this really is noticeably thicker this is like for the coldest of days um and it is as you might be able to guess brushed on the inside so really really soft probably a little bit thicker than the one that I’m
Wearing now which is an M&S one um but yeah fantastic for gardening dog walks skiing like if you’re going to be outside for a long time bonfire night you know that kind of thing I think every wardrobe needs some really good thermals so this is an exciting stock up
Maybe these are what was on Kate’s Instagram I think they’re actually heat tech trousers which would be wild wouldn’t it pleated trousers I’m still trying to be the kind of girl that looks Chic and wears trousers um but as I mentioned I need to I need to do a
Little bit more practice I need to play around a little bit more so maybe I’ll do that in the week because as I mentioned I can’t can’t really be bothered to do that right now maybe I will depends on what’s in the avoc comi order and how much that inspires me if
You’ve been seeing try on Clips all along it means that maybe I got inspired tomorrow and I managed to sneak in some try on Clips before editing this video so these are the heat tech socks fibers woven with plant oil that’s interesting and I got them in a green they literally
Match my jumper this is from really wild clothing and I love it it’s um Lamb’s wool so it’s really nice and warm this should be a good temperature [Applause] now ooh spicier when you don’t um have it with oat milk unsurprisingly yeah these will be really helpful for wearing
Inside Wellies inside walking boots Etc so a very practical haul from Unico ah so the one thing that I was excited about in my AOC crry order has not yet arrived I think um I think there might be another bag downstairs I’ll go and check in a second these were super high
Highly rated trousers yes I’m I really am trying to be a trouser wearing kind of girl I think just because so many people that I follow on Instagram look so cool in their trousers so these are a liny material I actually bought them in two sizes to try and get the perfect
Size I like the fact that there’s no button here it’ll look very chic with a nice belt um nice and high-waisted so I’ll probably wear my my dupe for the MZ Kelly belt which I will leave link down below because honestly it’s amazing and then this I think that yeah
This is the Abu cromi dress that I wore loads last summer but in a different um fabric so it feels really crazy buying something like this now but I really do adore this silhouette I think it’s something to do with the pleated of the bodice I just think is so pretty it does
Need a steam um but yeah hopefully I will have mustered up the energy to try these on before um before editing this video you know I’m not too Blown Away with the qu quality of this fabric actually feels a little bit lower quality it’s more um I’m not going to
Lie it just feels more plasticky than the cotton one of last year so there we go right well let’s head back downstairs and start putting together this shepherd’s pie um unless I do have another avoc cromie bag down there in which case I’ll show you cuz I think it
Is just the most adorable knit I’m too warm in this one though I’m going to change out of this anyway hello future Josie here this is the other bit that I ordered from our cromie um really gorgeous knit it’s got a really cute little Fair ale pattern to
It and then this quite sporty little collar detail absolutely love it super soft it’s the same material as some other aboc comi bits that I’ve got and I’ve had for many many a season and they just wash really well so it’s kind of thing that I love to throw on over
Leggings when I’m working from home or even going to the gym so yeah definitely worth the wait and I thought I would share this with you it’s got a really nice um kind of brushed brass little zip detail as well cute right my darlings back down in the
Kitchen and I’m going to get cracking on this before Charlie comes down to watch whatever sport he’s going to watch today because when he does um I’ll have to switch to doing a voice over so so as not to bother the sport watching uh so I’m going to get cracking with a
Delicious shepherd’s pie and I always make these really big because actually they’re fantastic for keeping in the fridge for later in the week and also o for freezing technically I’m making a cottage pie because we are going to be using minced beef that we picked up in the butches earlier um the other
Ingredients as well as the beef for the meaty bit carrots I’m not using the ones from the garden they are a little bit nibbled at let’s just say so I’m going to use those in a stock I’ve got a fantastically ginormous yellow onion some garlic some celery
Uh some Liam paren wora sauce and I’m also going to be adding in this bone broth from Osa I’m actually going to run to the store and see if I’ve got any um powdered bone broth cuz I think we’ll need a little bit more than just one tub
And then seeing as these I think they go out of date in like a week or something but it’s quite hard to get through an entire tub of these little mung beans so I thought it would just be really nice to add a few of these into here as well
Now I like to cook my beef off first just in some olive oil in a heavy bottom pan I find that by cooking the beef first and then putting it to the side and then adding the cooked beef into my veg it just stops it from being so like oily when you’re
Eating it um and there’s a few other little tricks that I like to do along the way so I’ll explain those as we go so let’s get started so olive oil going in the pan about two tablespoons Okay so while that’s been cooking I’ve been chopping up an onion and now that this has browned all over I’m going to pop it into here and then we’re going to start on the veggie part of the Dish I heading back down to the kitchen Garden everything is simmering away but I’m just going to add in some fresh Rosemary and some thyme into my beef mix so I’ve come down with my scissors perfect Okay my darlings it’s a couple of hours later I have been preparing this very slowly and lovingly sometimes I think food tastes better when you prepare it slowly um but yeah I’ve just really enjoyed making this and here we go so needs to go in the oven obviously for 20
Minutes as you’ll have seen i’ like to do a Cheesy Mash with egg yolks in there to make it extra creamy yum and you saw I strained a lot of the meat mixture out of here leaving this lovely gravy which I’ve thickened up just a tiny bit with
Some with some corn flour I have to keep giving it a stir otherwise it gets a bit of a skin on the top um so I think we’re probably going to eat in about an hour’s time we’ll probably do some leaks and peas to have on the side but it’s going
To be absolutely scrumptious isn’t it my baby you might have noticed I did a little small portion as well I’ve taken that over to laa and we’ve realized that with Sky VIP you get a few films free each month doesn’t look like Charlie’s figured out how to do it because he’s
Got it on the buy section um but we’ve decided we’re going to watch Oppenheimer let’s see if we can stay awake throughout the whole thing because it’s nearly 3 hours long long my goodness me we’ve managed to get it to work so I just checked my sky VIP and it’s just
Let me know that I’ve been a sky customer for 11 years and one of my little benefits this month is a free film so we’ve just got Oppenheimer for free yay how how is your rugby documentary it’s very good yeah Dicky thoroughly enjoyed it he’s thinking of
Uh starting the rugby career yes he’s been very inspired he’d be a good prop do you think the good documentary is good yeah I actually have been really impressed with it so far I guess it’s the one thing I would say is if you’ve never watched rugby before
There’s not a lot about like for example the American Football on quarterback they did quite a good job of explaining American football I did think that they just jumped straight into it jump straight in so I’m watching it as someone that obviously loves rugby and I’m enjoying it but I’m also watching it
As someone that wants rugby to be promoted more yeah I think I give it a solid seven out of 10 so far it’s it’s actually interestingly the same British production company that did the film Center and then they went on to do drive to survive so they’re pretty top-notch
And they’re already filming a second series to this what’s it called full contact on Netflix what I would say is it’s also fairly rugby heavy which I think is good once again because I love rugby but I liked the quarterback one they had more of their
Personal life yeah now I I think that’s maybe what will happen in the second series it would be nice to see a bit more behind the scenes the training the aftermath you see it it shows the rawness of rugby because even in quarterback right the the quarterback it
Focuses on and they’re like the most um important but also targeted player and after games yeah there’s the odd injury but they’re largely in one piece like the obviously understandably like they’re interviewing them the day after and they look like they’ve been in like car a car Crush followed by a boxing
Match God so it is uh yeah not for the haed but it’s good it’s good I’m I’ve been apprehensive about watching this film cuz obviously I know it’s about the atom bomb isn’t it nuclear bomb well the creation of it yeah so let’s see let’s
Give it a go going to be it’s going to be quite heavy isn’t it yeah Dicky are you ready yes Mom let Oh Yeah Oh

Josie love your watch but can’t see it listed
Josie can you please list the cottage pie ingredients that you used as want to have a go, looked amazing ❤😊
Love your vlogs Josie thankyou 😊
The shoot and the dresses ❤ Stunning Josie 😍
It's a well known fact that second day soup – and second day stew – is always better!
Loving this flog
Thanks for the cosy vlog. You should try adding some chillies in your cooking. Seems so bland all the time. Chillie have lots of health benefits. I’m sure on holiday you would have eaten spices
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Whenever Josie puts on her garden gloves,and wellies…you know for sure 'spring is most definetly upon us!!My darling…you got skills;there's no one quite like you!!I have no idea,if it's the LED lighting or your other products;or a combination of both;but your face is absolutely flawless!!Until next time my dear,thank you for sharing a part of your wonderful life!!💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
i spied a stunning vca bracelet on your wrist please show us , also i love your cartier watch with brown strap sooooo elegant
I noticed you're wearing your wedding band again – did you get the skin problems sorted on your finger? Gold can contain 'additives' like nickel which can irritate the skin, so may be worth checking the purity of the gold they've used.
Cottage pie looked good – it freezes well, like homemade soup, so you could've done 3 small ones and popped one in your freezer for a quick meal another time. I love to do that when I'm cooking for just the 2 of us – it's great to have some lovely, home -made things in the freezer for when we have a busy day. 🙂
Love your new intro’s !
Hi Josie, I’m usually a silent watcher and really enjoy your vlogs. Just thought I’d message saying that I was disappointed to hear you saying you felt like the Michelin man when trying on your Uniqlo haul, in size xs. Just my observation. 🤔
Hi Josie, love the jumper could i ask where it's from x
The clock striking is gorgeous.
those single use cups hurt my heart </3 Lovely vlog, besides that xoxo
Josie, I love seeing behind the camera views. You are very beautiful and talented. Your Shephard Pie looked so good. I'm going to try making it your way. Love seeing the English County side and your shops. Have a great day!😊
Josie – health is more important than how we look. You genuinely do not need to use that ridiculous LED mask. You can’t be 100% sure that it’s a completely healthy thing to be doing. Your skin is great and all the lotions etc that you use are more than enough. Nature is always safest – and in nature we would not be exposed to light like that. You are healthy and have natural beauty and you don’t need bonkers and faddish contraptions 😊Love the grandfather clock by the way! Beautiful chime – I think I want one!
So comforting and motivating turning on Josie doing my nightly chores while watching it’s like having a sister on FaceTime ❤
I was very disappointed with Oppenheimer, I found there was too much classroom chat and theory before any form of action. It was far too long and tiring to watch.. great cast though..
You and Kate Hutchins are my favourite youtubers, Josie! you look lovely in the trousers x
Love the trousers
Josie, each time I leave the house to go anywhere, I take a picture of my outfit and save all the photos in albums, in categories, on my phone (i.e. casual spring dresses/fancy winter dresses/jeans outfits/work out outfits/holidays, etc.) Then when I have an event, I can literally lie in bed and scroll outfits the night before to decide what to wear, no more standing at the closet! If the event is meaningful to me, like Valentine's Day, I often make an album of pics of possible day and night or overnight outfits to pack, then just delete the album afterward. I am very visual so this was a game changer for me! You could do this when you do tryons for us as well. Then all your new items would be cataloged.
Does the laser do anything to hurt your eyes?
Finally Uniqlo appeared in Josie's vlog!!!!
Love the cooking inspo! Can’t wait to visit the Cotswolds.
Well I just made your shepherds pie and what a hit with the family. The gravy was the icing on the cake. Thanks Josie.
I found the chopping down really handy to know as you think it has to rot first before you put it on the soil but a great idea and yes compost is so helpful. It is sunny today and feels like Spring is upon us. You described yourself as lazy but you are far from it. Blogging takes alot of hours and editing and you are on show all the time.
I have learnt not to overdo it and pace yourself too as we all think we can get so much done but the variety of jobs in a day is surprising. I have 2 robins in my garden and they hit me with their wings when I go near their nesting area. It has been happening for years but as they nest near my gate and sitting area it is tricky to keep out of their way. I am trying to befriend them and make them trust me but their natural instinct kicks in. Sad that we are a threat to them. Beautiful birds.
Watching these makes me feel so happy thank you
Ooo your dinner looked absolutely divine 😍🌿✨
How many watched the entire video? Yikes, it’s a long video… is there a short summary somewhere??
What do you mean "technically"? You're not making a shepherds pie, it's a cottage pie!
Maybe try wide leg pants?
Can you do a video on how to pose for the camera and a few hints on taking great photos with an iPhone? You pose so perfectly. I need help!
Josie haven’t cooked sherpards pie for ages , putting it on the menu for the weekend ❤ the look of yours hope tastes as good
Would love your cottage pie recipe. My mum is Scottish and she boils a bacon hocks for hours till the bacon falls off the bone and uses that liquid and bits of ham into the base of making vegetable soup, and the house always smelled delicious.👍
Your jumper is looks so nice and cosy I love it, also that colour looks good on you.❤
I also do 3 days of home made soup and don't freeze it as it is so warming to have for lunch and to appreciate the work you put into it rather than freeze. I will look out for the soil improver. It is good to get outside I agree and get the feel of the garden again. I look forward to cutting grass again and can't believe it gets too hot to do it some days and have to stop to have a glass of water. I don't think I have ever seen you look dishevelled.
You looked very glamorous in your thermal leggings and very slim not at all a michelin man! People get dysmorphia and I have it as well I think where we think we are bigger than we are and are very self critical. I am at my highest weight usually in Winter but never weigh myself just know from clothes. I think you are slimmer than ever is it diet change or exercise?
Cream trousers and chocolate and beige tones are my favourite and you looked glamorous in them. I ditched my jeggings and denim this Winter and glad I did as so much more comfortable. I find I have a long body waist to top of leg and lot of jeans and jeggings are cut too short and you feel like you are being drawn up. Wish manufacturers would get this right.
Be careful with your lambswool jumper as I gave up with them as I shrink them. I do use a wool wash but lambswool is sensitive to hotter temperatures. This year has been the year of the sock for me and H&M started me off with alpine style socks from last year's sale and now I am really into lovely alpine style socks to wear with my uggs. The height of warmth.
When it comes to Summer I find that I don't wear trousers much as I need to get my legs out so shorts and dresses keep me cool. Spring and autumn is when I wear thin trousers the most. I have a few pairs but miss Gap for that as liked to be able to see and try on before buying.
Your SP looked yummy great vlog love 😍😍😍💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️
uniqlo thermals are my favorite! they're SO warm but also super thin and fit under clothes so easily- i never feel like i've stuffed myself into my clothes when i wear them, it just feels like i'm wearing my clothes
Where is that place where you did the photo shoot??
