Good morning my baby are you excited to go for a walk show me go for a walk Come On D come on D let’s go come On Come on down pixie go On the cameras out So this is my post dog walk breakfast on a Saturday morning same this yesterday pretty much I’ve done my loaded avocado toast we’ve got olive oil salt chili pepper seed mix Ducker and two kinds of micro Greens on a seeded sourdough delicious I’ve got my sweet peas soaking

Here this afternoon I’m going to do a little bit of seed sewing with the help of my sausages you are freshly bathed and looking very handsome okay a proper good morning to you my darlings was a scrumptious avocado toast very quick and easy to make now I’m going to make myself a

Smoothie but I thought um what I’m going to do is actually like bulk prep my smoothies for the rest of the week or for the next five mornings that I decide I want to have a smoothie because as you can see here excuse my squeaky tripod I do have

Rather a lot of individual ingredients and I’m putting in my morning smoothies and the thing that takes the time is just like getting the right amount of this out taking a spoonful of this getting a dollop of this so I thought why don’t I just grab a load of

Charlie’s old yogurt jars which I’ve been saving because I’m a hoarder um and I thought I would make an individual smoothie in each of these jars and then I don’t have to get all of this out every single day genius if you ask me it’ll also mean that I don’t forget

Anything like so often I’ll forget um maybe my blueberry powder or maybe my collagen or one of my items so this way I can do it all one go absolutely genius very simple idea I know uh so yesterday I picked up two different types of cauliflower from dford this is your

Regular old cauliflower Frozen and this is um what’s that funky one called is it not Roma it’s the one that’s really spiky because I always think the more variety the better so yesterday I chopped these up and froze them apparently apparently adding cauliflower as well as obviously being good for you

Is um a great way of making your smoothies more creamy so that’s going to be going in there um strawberries and most berries are not in season at the UK at the moment so the best way that I like to buy them are in these little organic packs that I pick

Up on a cardo but then I actually still have this little stasher bag full of the uh black Bree that Charlie and I picked from the Hedge Rose in Autumn last year so I’m going to pop some of those in the jaars as well then I’ve got my electrolytes from ancient and brave

Blueberry powder really really packed with antioxidants and very tasty almonds hazelnuts Brazil nuts I’ve not actually tried putting this in a smoothie before so I’m going to make up this morning smoothie using this before I stick it in all of my jars but this is the coconut

Milk powder from mudwater it’s also got MCT oil in there and again I think this is going to help it be really nice and creamy and then this is a completely flavorless collagen I saw this brand Osa on Instagram you know I’m just obsessed with bone broths and collagens and all

That kind of stuff at the moment so yeah I thought I’d add a spoonful of that in really hoping that by freezing all of these things it’s not going to reduce their impact but I’ve seen I’ve seen people doing this online so I’m sure it’ll be fine um and then finally I’ve

Got some Goji berries and peanut butter the one thing that I would love to be adding in here that we I don’t think darling have we got any bananas no no that we don’t have is bananas but what I could do is always just when we do get

Some chop them up and add them into the jars so this is going to be a fun little Saturday morning prep task and at the same time of course I’m going to be making one up in my blender so that I can enjoy one this morning so that took 10 minutes of prep

And here we’ve got five smoothie jars ready to go for the rest of the week hopefully hopefully this is going to turn out well I’ve got all of the same ingredients in here all Blended up so let’s give it a try I’m going to add some cheia seeds and my

Favorite bee pollen as a little nibbly bits on top feel very leisurely leaning back in my chair like this in the greenhouse so if I tilt you down you might be able to guess what we’re going to be doing for the next hour this is my sweet pea tray

Here’s one that I did earlier blue Peter style these are the ones that I grew with you it can only be like 10 days ago as you can see we’ve got some really good little um seedlings starting to come up these have been germinating in the house which I would say is around

22° so they’ve been nice and warm last year I don’t think I germinated my sweet peas indoors last year and they took a lot longer to germinate so this is definitely the trick something that I like to do much to Charlie’s dismay is collect L roll tubes and grow either

Sweet peas or broad beans in L roll tubes broad beans are not quite so fussy but sweet peas don’t really like their roots to be up skittled once they started growing a root system with these um the things I just showed you the root trainers you can pull them open so it’s

Not like you have to it’s not like like in a pot where you have to pull it out so that’s okay but with a l roll Cho it’s biodegradable so you can plant the entire thing in the ground which is great I like to do both I’ve probably

Only soaked maybe 20 seeds here and see as I’ve got a few empty root trainers I might just start by filling up those um and maybe because we’re approaching the middle of February I feel like January was so slow and now February is going really quickly

Um now that we are in mid Feb we can start to do broad beans as well which is very exciting we can also do pack Troy which is one of my favorites to have in a salad and rainbow chard which is amazing because it’s so colorful great to stick into so many

Dishes um and I would say it’s cut and come again so the more you pick it the more it grows which is just so rewarding and you only really need to sew it once I’ve also got a couple of kitchen roll tubes here really good for broad beans

Cuz broad beans develop a long tap route and it’s quite a strong straight route but not sure what we’re going to have time for today so let’s just start with the sweet peas and as I said I’m going to begin with these two empty rows that I’ve got in my root trainer Yeah okay that is a good job done I think I’m going to head inside for some lunch now I appreciate this Vlog has been very food heavy and it’s not going to change because we’re actually heading to a popup in chipping Norton Town Hall this evening with our favorites pet kitchen

With Rory and Nathan so that’s going to be good fun um but for now I’m going to head in and I’m going to roast some of the veggies that I’ve got kind of left over in the fridge I’ve got some pepper some tomato I’ll have some kale I’m sure

From yes i’ got some kale in the garden um an onion and garlic and I think I’m just going to Blitz that all up with my homemade veggie stock and make that into a really yummy pasta sauce with loads of Parmesan but as for my sweet peas as you

Saw I watered the soil I sewed my seeds and then I used my big Sie to like Sie a lot um more fine soil on top just so that everything is neatly packed down but um the the soil isn’t too compact so that the little seedlings can wiggle

Their way through this is going to go back on the window sill in our pantry so the warmth will help the seeds germinate soaking the seeds before you plant them helps to germinate them as well the previous ones I did overnight whereas these had probably only been soaking for

About six hours but it should be okay um and then once we’ve got a few more that have started to come up it’s important that I bring them outside because that window sill it doesn’t really have enough light and that does mean that your plants get a little bit

Leggy which is basically like this one here reaching for the sun you don’t want your plants to get too leggy it doesn’t encourage them to become too strong so yeah as soon as they’re all kind of coming up to like this much or maybe in

A few days time once a few of the new ones have G ated they’ll come out into the greenhouse where they’ll stay until the last frosts yay okay let’s go and make some Lunch A Hello again my darlings it’s a few hours later please excuse this awful lighting I just wanted to quickly check in before we head over to the pit kitchen it’s going to be a very fun evening it’s a kind of bring your own drink situation I think because they are popping up in the

Town hall they probably don’t have a license but we love pet kitchen food you might remember they actually catered For Us the night before our wedding um and we have loved visiting their normal spot which is essentially in a field in shipping Norton um and they’re doing a

Winter special tonight so we’re heading with Rory and Nathan I’ve put on my Holland coopa knit and my new obsession the aboc comi trousers and I’ll let you in on a secret I’m wearing the exact same outfit underneath my thermals and my leggings I’ve literally just piled

This on top I’ve got on a cute new pair of earrings they’re these little um kind of heart droplets from asid and Miu and I think they are absolutely adorable and I’ve got this really sweet new highlight palette here from clay Depo which hopefully I’ll get time to

Show you before my battery dies which is imminent how beautiful is this palette the most gorgeous little highlight I’m never a huge fan of the brushes that these palettes come with so I’m just going to use ooh that is intense oh my gosh looks a lot more intense on camera

Than it does in real life just to bring a little bit of a glow to my skin okay without further Ado let’s head to Ching Norton for an evening with the pit kitchen quite a grand building this is the chipping Norton Town Hall I’m intrigued what this is going to be Like hello my darlings I apologize for the awful lighting um it’s obviously pitch black outside now we’ve just got home after such a lovely evening delicious food I would say that I prefer pick kitchen’s food when they’re serving in the field I think they are more

Creative but they were feeding a lot of people tonight it was a really fun evening um so back home now just cleansed I used the olivan rose water and camomile it’s really creamy really gorgeous and now I’m going to pop some of my Elm Rose serum on um something has arrived

Actually arrived this afternoon but I just undid it and I really want to share it with you because it’s something that I’m really really excited about but I just want to get my evening skin care rolling before I show it too quickly I sometimes put a nice calming

Serum on before my skin and me just as like a mini barrier especially if my Skin’s feeling a bit sensitive it’s just feeling a bit tight today so skin and me daily doer we love I got a new one a couple of days ago so it’s got a full month supply on

There and I just love how my skin looks and I’m in a really good routine with this I didn’t take it with me on holiday because I don’t like to use strong actives when I’m in the sun um but I feel like I can see my skin texture

Improving day by day or night by night now now that I’m back into my habit of using this and I like to leave it a good 10 minutes as the only thing on my skin before I do my night cream reminder josy glow will get you your skin and me for

$4.99 for the first month which is wonderful I’ll leave that link down below so let’s go next door hopefully the lighting is a tiny bit better so my delivery um is from a company called grounding well grounding well and yes it’s a product for indoor grounding so you might remember that I

Um I think I started when I was listening to a podcast probably and they were talking about the benefits of grounding and grounding is quite literally connecting yourself to the Earth so obviously the the best way you can do that is by being outside bare feet but it obviously doesn’t work on

Concrete you have to be like actually connecting to the earth and the whole idea is that the Earth Earth has a negative charge our bodies well think about a house right I think it was in the 19 30s was it that we got electricity I don’t know I’ll put the you on the

Screen here and what they realized was that you needed to to ground the electricity into the Earth so houses and other buildings have a grounding rod that literally connects them to the Earth that grounds them and that is to stabilize the the electrical charge well our bodies are really quite electrical

As well we definitely have a charge and an energy and since we have become disconnected with the Earth whether that’s through rubber sold shoes which we all we um or whether it’s from walking on concrete all the time staying in buildings all the time when was the

Last time think about it that you actually touched the earth when did you last connect either by hugging a tree and touching nature or being best foot I bet it was quite a while ago unless you’re lucky enough to live somewhere wonderful um so yeah our bodies our

Charge has been rising and this has been connected to I’m not going to say proven because a lot of these things they just can’t prove it um but there’s been a connection between when we are grounding to reductions and inflammation in our body and inflammation is the

Cause of so many things whether it’s pain pain or like heart problems or even diabetes so many of our illnesses cancer even has been connected to inflamation so anything that we can do to bring down information in our body it could be that you’ve got like sore joints sore knees

That’s an inflammation they have connected grounding I.E reducing the charge within your body to reductions and inflammation it’s something that I can’t explain that well but I would so recommend doing more research into it I should have just this in general the more time we spend grounded the better grounding is

Particularly good for us during sleep as our bodies spend this time repairing rebuilding and recharging our energy being grounded during sleep creates the optimal conditions for this process and allows us to sleep deep and wake up feel feeling amazing grounding is an important aspect for achieving good health connecting

Your body directly to the Earth’s natural healing energy field That’s essential for all living beings to maintain electrical balance it says on here proven benefits of grounding reduced inflammation more restful sleep reduction in chronic pain improved blood FL blood flow reduced Stress and Anxiety reduced electromagnetic interference normalized cortisol rhythms increased

Energy improved mood reduction in PMS symptoms decreased MUSC muscle tension reduction in headaches speed up wound healing oh my god there are just there are just so so many benefits uh so I’ve had a delivery because as much as I love to spend time barefoot outside and hugging trees or wild swimming

Because obviously swimming outside in the ocean or a lake is amazing grounding cuz your whole body is connected to the Earth sadly we just can’t do it very often and the longer time you spend grounded the better so summer months I’ll be out there barefoot but I found

This company called grounding well and they have got products that allow you to be grounded by literally plugging um mats essentially in because like I said at the beginning with our houses having an earthing Rod we can connect to the Earth’s negative charge via our plugs

This is the grounding prong of your plug so what I’ve got here will it tell me anymore um yeah so you plug the grounding cord into your product you plug it in and then when you are touching it either sleep in on it or you have your feet on

It when you’re at your desk or at your makeup station I’m going to put mine probably at my makeup station I think I spend more time sat there like drying my hair and doing my makeup than I do at my desk which I think is saying something but I’m normally

Like I normally move around the house with my laptop I’m not like at my desk but this is really interesting this is a sheet I thought it was going to be stiff which I was a bit worried about um but this is a sheet it literally feels like a cotton sheet

Which you can plug in and ground yourself while you’re sleeping wowa unlucky Charlie it looks like it’s only big enough for one person um but because it’s literally cotton it’s hopefully not going to be feelable underneath my sheets I don’t know if I have to lie

Directly on this or if I put it underneath my unders sheet we shall see and then this is like a rubber mat which I’m going to roll out and put under where my feet will be at my vanity area yeah so it’s like a little rubber mat how clever is that absolutely genius

Um it’s about 10:00 p.m. at night now so I’m not going to actually do this now but I will do this in the morning um or maybe what I’ll do just for the sake of keeping it all together is I’ll insert the clips of me setting these up now um

So you can see them all getting set up I think it’s so exciting and I’m really looking forward to just setting it up and being able to ground without even thinking about it so there we go that’s my latest little I’m not going to say crazy or woo

Woo but you know what I’m like I love to try these things and I don’t think it hurts I think it’s I mean it makes sense to me it really does make sense but yeah I need to check if I actually need to touch that bed sheet or if I can put it

Underneath my finger jig ah it does say it’s recommended to expose your skin directly onto the grounding sheets H maybe I’ll put it at the end of the bed so that my feet are on it while I’m sleeping we shall see I’ll have a play around and I’ll update you in the

Morning good morning my darlings it’s Sunday morning now we had such a lovely evening with Rory and Nathan last night and I’m feeling a little bit tired this morning a little bit um like I could have done with a few more hours in bed

But Charlie and I have got a busy is day today we are heading out later on for a Sunday roast which I can’t wait for with Phil and Hannah and their children at the black horse which is one of our new favorites but before that we’ve got a

Lot of um flower bed prep to do this is the time of year as a gardener that you basically just have to put the time in to prepare your beds ready for getting them ready for when the blooms will get planted out after the last frost so it’s

Kind of the least rewarding and least glamorous part of gardening but it’s very important that prep work is very important and on that note today finally we’ve got a blog post going live which you guys have been asking for for years quite literally and it is our blog post

On step by step how to create a herbaceous border I’ll pop a photo of our herbaceous Border in full bloom up on the screen here as you can see what I’m talking about the blog post contains everything from a planting plan to the individual plants that we recommend for

A traditional English herbaceous border and you really don’t need a big Garden to create one of these um because as you might remember last summer we installed one at George and Petra’s house there’s just a few things you need to know with regards to how to position the plants um

How to put one together and you can do it yourself you don’t need to employ a big team to come in and do it for you and it’s really good fun I always think anything that gets you outside in nature is fantastic don’t really need it straight

After moisturizer but it’s just a joy to use okay you guys don’t need to see me doing my makeup routine cuz I’ve shared it in quite a few Vlogs recently so I’m going to get my makeup on and I will see you out in the garden So 15 minutes of hard work later and I can show you a little before and after so this is one that we haven’t tackled yet we’re having to be quite careful cuz as you can see there’s daily a chubbas starting to come out there’s peanes in

The one that we’ve just done um but you can see it’s just looking a little bit sad and then here we’ve got some nice juicy top soil and bark mulch which we have shoveled in just bark mulch oh okay it’s like a fine y every year mhm it’s

Like a fine composted bark mulch so I think there’s leaves and stuff in there yeah um but it’s good for a number of reasons reason number one it obviously adds nutrients back into the beds these beds in particular obviously quite so the soil does need need it and it

Certainly benefits every year yeah secondly you obviously add a nice layer of protection cuz we still got a lot of frost around in an ideal world we’ have probably done this either earli in the year or late last year yeah and it also then looks very tidy which is a huge

Benefit cuz obviously with all the irrigation and bits and pieces it’s nice to just tidy it up we probably try and do this normally pre spring we normally do it in the spring and in the winter kind of doing it half and half now so I

Think probably not do it again yeah but now is a good time to do it cuz you can see if I show you a little example where did I see one around here um some of the ah here we go some of the peonies you can see these little ah here’s an

Example little tiny purple shoots coming out the ground they are panies and they won’t really like it if they get terribly Frosty so what we’re doing now is essentially adding a little blanket as well to help protect anything that might have got a bit carried away and

Started to come up I’m hoping a lot of my daers will have survived the winter but I did do as you know a farmer Gracie order a couple of weeks ago so I’ll have a few more arriving soon which I’ll do in pots and while I’ve got the camera

Out I just wanted to show you some horseradish rout there we go that’s ready to be harvested and we can make our very own horseradish did you know that that is what a horse radish look like little bit like a carrot definitely going to have

To dig that up cuz it is well and that’s what most Wasabi looks like because most Wasabi that we eat is actually horse radish with green food coloring very true right on to bed number Two [Applause] well that is a fantastic job done I feel like we’ve had a real workout out in the garden out in nature the best way and now it’s nearly 512 we’re going out for a a roast at half 2 um but I have not had any breakfast yet so I’m literally

Just going to do some boiled eggs and soldiers because I’m a child and that is what I am craving today we’ve got this really nice seeded sourdough which I’m going to turn into to some little Soldiers the sun has come out it’s going to be a really really nice afternoon

Charlie’s Got the old Defender charging so maybe we’ll drive out in that if not I need to drive that car tomorrow because my car is still broken down in the dford car park which is not ideal hopefully they don’t tow it or anything fingers crossed um so yeah time for some

Breakfast two eggs 6 and 1 half minutes in boiling water should be the perfect cookness we don’t want any runny whites because quite frankly that makes me gag have you found a little Sunny Spot dexi look at my boy I love it when the sun shines in the kitchen and I’m next

To the ARA it’s the best place in the world mommy you should try it sometime it’s really comfortable okay so while my eggs are cooking I’m going to try this little tulip tip that I’ve seen online line when your tulips get a little bit sad which can often happen um if they go

Into shock from changing temperature from being outside or in a garden center being in your nice toasty warm kitchen so the trick is to take to take about a centimeter off the bottom and then roll them up quite tightly in some paper I’ve got this uh literally like Amazon parcel lining

Paper you wrap them up quite tightly in the paper so that they’re upright and then leave them soaking in some water for a couple of hours so seems like a really easy hack let’s give it a go these are my slightly sad tulips something else you can do is remove the

Um leaves if the leaves are looking a little bit sad as well so let’s do That and now I’m going to take a cm of the bottom at least a ctim and now I’m going to roll them up in in this brown paper nice and Tightly I’ve filled this jug with some water and I’m just going to pop them in here for the next couple of hours now hopefully by the time we get back from our roast they will have absorbed all the water gained a little bit of um stiffness and we’ll have some nice perky

Tulips we shall see I love trying out these Instagram flower hacks to see if they work hello it’s Josie from the future here I wanted to finish my little tulip hack um but as you’re about to find out yesterday for current me today for you watching is about to get

Crazy not in a good way um I’m not normally a able to foreshadow in Vlogs like this this is because I’m filming the next day um but let’s just say that sorting out my tulips was the very last thing on my mind but it’s the next day the situation is under control um

And we’re going to see if our hack has worked so they’ve been in the water actually for a long time nearly 24 hours so hopefully they’ve drunk it all up and we’ll have some non floppy tulips Let they are worse than when I started why do these things always work out for people on Instagram but when I try them it’s an epic fail that is considerably worse than when I started this hack and I’m going to blame it on the fact that

The Tulips are old um I’m going to have to find a stiff kind of Jar to put them in that is hilarious okay back to yesterday back to Sunday buckle up because things are about to get Crazy Okay world’s quickest outfit update because we are running a little bit late I have popped on a Holland Cooper roll neck hair is still up in a bun because gardening all morning have a crumby jeans which I’m trying to style in as many different ways as possible doesn’t

Look very flashing from this angle but I think they do look nice um and then I’ve got this very spoil new jacket which is from Seline a real Splurge okay let’s Go well this is not quite the update that I thought I was going to be sharing with you um we’re not having a Sunday roast I’m currently at the roadside halfway between um our rout and bamry hospital um obviously I’m I’m not going to give away any information because it’s not our

Information to share but Charlie and I were just driving to the um Pub from our house and we Charlie actually spotted a lady at the side of the road and she was not in a good way and um obviously pulled over went to assist a lady I called an ambulance um the ambulance

Instructed us what to do we’ve got some first aid stuff in the car thank goodness we will need to replenish all of it now um but yeah we’ve basically just been at the side of the road helping this lady um for the last half an hour a couple of chaps who were also

Driving the road stopped and they helped us thank goodness after I’d called the ambulance and they told us a few things that we needed to do to keep her stable also thank goodness that we did the first aid course um I would so highly recommend every one

Does a first aid course you never know when or how it’s going to come in handy I would also recommend that everyone has a first aid bag and a coat and Wellies in their car I was not wearing a practical outfit but luckily was able we

Were both able to put Wellies on um and help this lady then I called the ambulance again to find out how long they were going to be and then they told me that the ambulances were really stretched today and it could be up to a couple of hours so we’d by this point

Managed to get a hold of this lady’s husband um 10 minutes later he arrived so now Charlie and one of the two chaps that also came to um assist they have taken the lady to our nearest emergency room I took the lady’s children home um that had come with their father and um

Yeah Charlie has just left the hospital the lady is with her husband she’s being seen to and um the boys are going to we’re basically meeting in this Middle Point here the boys are going to drop Charlie back with me and we’re going to be a couple of hours late but we’re

Going to head back to um the black horse for our Sunday roast but yeah my goodness um not my not my story to tell and I’m obviously not giving any information about what the lady’s predicament was because it’s very personal um but yeah first aid kit in your car first aid

Training so important you never know when you’re going to need it so hopefully Charlie will be with me soon we shared our contact details with the family if they want to update us then they can do appreciate these matters are really private um but yeah I wanted to update
