Power Cuts, Panettone & Christmas In The English Countryside | House & Garden (Story 14)
A lot has happened, a new arrival and life has changed a lot! The festive period is just around the corner so it’s time to get ready for a cosy Christmas in the English countryside…
It’s been a long time since I’ve last uploaded, but I have been filming! I thought I’d break the silence and just edit something more recent and upload. So, here you have it, a festive vlog, with lots of baking, real life and Christmas shopping.
I was so lucky when baking the sourdough panettone: we were in the middle of storm Darragh and I’d just finished making the dough when we had a power cut. The plan had been so let these cold ferment, but with our fridge out of action, it turned into a long day of candlelit aga baking!
In this video, I pop in to some artist open studios, go shopping in Totnes, Ashburton and go dog walking in Devon and around Dartmoor. I gave a pumpkin bundt cake a go, courgette chocolate cake and drying oranges
I hope you enjoyed this more Christmas uk vlog, I’m thinking of doing more of these, so if you’re enjoying the baking videos with lots of dog walks let me know in the comments below. However, you will have to be patient with me whilst I adjust to life with a baby!
We’ve still got more work to do on the house- it’s definitely a fixer upper! For those that are new here, it’s a 1970s bungalow in Devon and make sure to subscribe if you want to follow along with our journey. And if you’re looking for a home renovation before and after make sure to turn notifications on so you don’t miss any videos!

I know it’s been 5 months since my last upload but we’ve been busy renovating our home! Life taking a backseat seems to be the only way when you do diy renovations on a budget. This summer we had a heatwave in the UK with insane temperatures. It made us realise how much of a difference insulating your home makes. If you’re wondering how to insulate your home then definitely ask your local build...

It’s been a long time… I haven’t put out a video in what feels like an age! So much has happened and I explain in this video why you haven’t heard from me in a while. You can tell just how long it’s been because I start off the video by going on a really beautiful, local woodland walk which was covered in bluebells. Before we get into the havoc of the building works. Our steels are in, the wall...

We’ve been waiting a long time for building works to start and this has been so satisfying to finally see some change (even if it does have to get worse to get better)! Taking out walls and ceilings has been super fun at times but a...

    My is an outside plant but I brought him in once it got cold. He’s still alive but losing his vitality. He stays dry even when I water him a week prior . What should I do?

    Ours loves to have wet feet, lived outdoors in N. Texas and was on drip watering in full sun, watered every 3 days. Moved it to Georgia recently where it was watered every three days if it had not rained by then and flowered more than ever. It is huge and we just moved it inside for the winter to a room with full morning sun and a growliight as well. It is five feet tall and as big around. 10:26

    I've had my Oxalis for about 4 years, wishes I had found your video previously... o took some advice from a UK Gardening F/B page (after asking advice) and someone said you can't overwater an Oxalis.... currently mine is entering it's dormant period, I think I've overwatered her... she is looking really poor, I have her on my kitchen window, and have loads of leaf burn and bulb rot, I'm hoping with your advice I can revive my beautiful Oxalis. I have just bought some new varieties (2) from Farmer Gracy (excellent bulb co.) can you mix the bulbs at all to get different colours in one pot? Or does each species prefer its own company ❤

    The upside down bit does nothing. It’s a leftover from 100 years ago and different style jar. In fact, the two piece metal lid continues to exhaust as it cools, upright, forming a better seal.

    Hello. I live in Maryland, USA, and received seeds in the mail from my Aunt who lived in Florida approximately 50 years ago. I have 2 of theoriginal plants that produced seeds about 5 years ago. Grew 2 plants from those seeds up until last year when one died. Fortunately, one of the original trees has again produced a seed which is dangling from it and I'm not sure if I should wait till it falls off or should I pull it off? I can't remember what I did last time. It is 1:00 pm EST. Thank you. Gina

    • @SableWind
      @SableWind Рік тому

      Had to respond because of how familiar this is... I also live in MD, and my mother living in Florida has the happiest one of these plants I've ever seen, it would be a tree outside of her house if she didn't cut it back now and then. The bush drops seed pods and she digs them up and pots them to give to friends. which is how I have mine :) I can't comment for sure, but it seems like you should wait until they fall off based off my mother's experience.
