Thank you
Wish there was a LOVE button here as just clicking LiKE doesn't seem good enough : Thank you Kate and Anna for a lovely video.
Happy Solstice, Kate! Bless you for honoring Martha's birthday and only after that, beginning the Christmas decorating. (As a December child, I know how that feels.) Yay!! Loved this tree video....I really liked the wonky one!!
Oh, second comment here~ but I forgot to say this previously.. but the idea of getting a tree to plant is wonderful and I am stealing it! Thanks Kate,! Just a brilliant idea!
Your Anna and John are just gorgeous people. Love to you all. Meredithe xxx
Three years late finding this Kate. Watching you and Anna reminds me of the times I spent with my lovely mother in law when I was young. Her farmhouse home was cosy and welcoming like yours. She kept chickens and always had some craft or other on the go. Very enjoyable to watch.
Dear Kate, we are usually buying a cut tree, because we do not have a garden to plant it later and maybe it would die before because I'm not that good with plants 😂 It's such a pleasure to see that you are surrounded by such sweethearts like Anna. So nice that she is helping you so much during Christmas time and with the Christmas Boxes. Your son made a good choice 😉
I know this was 4 years ago but it was like it was today…..as it’s five days to Christmas 2023 in this small town in Montana. No snow to speak of. It’s that in between time where it feels like spring a few times a day and the sun is quite happy to play with us. And then night comes and bursts that bubble!🤣 And I so needed this video. So much to do still with our church outreach and breads and cookies to bake. And we’re all getting sick. Had to go to emergency myself Monday. Got some meds and am better but it knocked the wind out of my sails. Love the drives through the countryside. Merry Christmas to you and family. Love you all.🦋
Can you hear all of us on the sofa calling out our favourite tree...🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
😃🤣🙃🤣
I picked the chosen one cos it was much more bushy than all the others..I'm glad Kate got a nice one with roots. 🎄💟
Anna is so lovely, a great daughter in law and friend.
Loved watching this, even though it is a few years later! I have been binge watching your videos for the past two months. You and your family and friends are just so calming to me. I absolutely love your "crazy " coat.
I love everything about this video. From choosing a live tree, to treating yourselves at the grocery, and having a peaceful lunch together - not to mention the beautiful relationship you have with Anna. She is one in a million.
Ladies, I enjoy listening to your interactions. It warms my heart to here your true affection for each other.
Dear Kate - what a fun excursion to get that special tree and then a nice sit down lunch with Anna. Perfect day!
Anna is such a sweet young lady. The drive is very peaceful and pretty.
You and Anna are blessed to have each other. 😙
I was thinking the same thing! Now I can admit, (since you segwayed this) that I shed a few tears at the end ...
in a very very good way.
I'm alone and miss my family living so far away and my husband has been gone 7 years now.
This is what Christmas is all about. As you were driving home and the hen came up and your beautiful window and then your beautiful home inside and lunch together.... you are truly blessed. As are we to have you open your hearts and world to us. Thank you my distant friends. Merry Christmas
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 Sandra, I'm alone too in a foreign country. I have been since I moved out of London UK to central Italy. I admit it's hard and I miss London at this time of the year but I do my best to celebrate Christmas alone with my animals. 😁 have a wonderful Christmas and please don't be sad, just enjoy it alone. Hugs and purrs💚❤😽
I was chuckling to myself as you spread the trees out trying to decide which one to take. You were very thorough and looked at every one. Anna, never be embarrassed, you are beautiful! Kate is very fortunate to have you in her family.
What a lovely day you two had. I'm envious.
You seem to have a lovely relationships with your daughter-in-law Anna. My daughter-in-law Bonnie is my very best friend! Seeing you and Anna makes me miss her terribly. They moved out of state the end of October. My husband and I will be moving near them as soon as he retires (a year and a half to go) . I'm on the central coast of California and Bonnie is now in Idaho.
I like the way Anna makes the comment about being “wonky”. She knows you Kate
that was beautiful, and tea at the end made me wish I had someone near to just come over and have tea and a chat with :) put my tree up yesterday and it's beginning to look a bit like Christmas :) sleep well Kate and Anna, have a beautiful day tomorrow x x
Kate and Anna time, precious...
What a wonderful afternoon with Anna and Kate discussing the appropriate degree of wonky.
I love this video. We now know that (a) the police come out when Kate buys something from the garden centre (b) Kate drives fast, with one hand on the wheel and one eye on the road and (c) Kate can fit herself, Anna, a tree and lunch into her very small car. What a lovely morning out and exactly the right tree picked from a retailer with expertise in fitting trees into cars. For a minute there I feared that Anna would be left at the garden centre but no, there is always a way. ❤. Kate, if you read this all our love. I’m watching all of your videos again and missing you lots but take your time and we’ll love having you back when you are ready. ❤❤❤
This video hit the ball out of the park! It was so relaxing and Christmasy somehow. I feel like we're all getting to know you better through Anna's involvement in the videos. Blessings!
Great heirloom your tree planted for Agnes’s first Christmas you can measure & watch them both grow 🎄👍👏🏻
I’m screaming at my iPad.... “you must get the wonky one Kate”
I’m sure you could hear me right? 😂😂🤣🤣
And I love how your socks match your car!
Sharonne W. Had to rewind to check out the socks.. didn’t catch that the first time
@jay Kay I guess I should have put the time stamp. I noticed it when they were leaving the garden center and Kate was walking by her car and I laughed out loud. 😀😀
I noticed your lovely matching socks straight away!!!!!!
Love it !
... and the shoelaces.
Where I live now I feel claustrophobic most of the time ... your drives make me feel I can breathe. This was so lovely. Thanks to Kate and Anna. 💚💚💚
Let's think out of the box, says Kate, surveying an entire display of boxed desserts!
I always enjoy any road/village footage, love to see glimpses of everyday rural England. However, Kate and Anna enjoying a Christmas ritual together has me smiling. You both seem to be lovely souls, and how wonderful that you are now family members too. Life doesn't get any better than that!
Beautiful countryside. Lucky tree has come home. I have always bought a live tree as well but stopped buying a tree. Now I pick up fallen evergreens on my walks and make an alter. I also put lights on my Redwood tree that is still in a pot outside...It is about 3 years old and it is a treasure. I got it at a local native nursery when out on a day with my dearest friend. She has since passed so the tree is a daily connection to her.
What lovely scenery!
My husbands birthday is November 29. While the children are growing up it was a tradition to buy him a living tree for his birthday. However he always wanted a Charlie Brown tree so the kids would find one that needed extra Luv maybe the bar was touring we’re only had three limbs and by the time the kids grew up the property was covered with beautiful trees some two stories tall that he loved back to health. I remember one that he wrapped in gauze because the bark was all torn. Made him happy you’re around to see those trees with it once been neglected and sad now tall and grand.
My birthday is a little earlier in December (the ninth) and when my kids were little we would celebrate my day and wait until the next day to get our tree and decorate. At some point that shifted to our getting the tree on my birthday, but I didn’t mind. It was a nice way to celebrate. And decorating would commence the next day. But I was older. It’s harder for young children. Kudos to you for giving your daughter some special time before beginning the Yuletide celebrations.
Anna is a lovely, caring person! Maybe in the coming year, John could come and put more pins in your map... It's always fun to watch the interaction between the two of you and also to see the scope of your interaction with u-tube watchers and supporters. Take care.
Well, the passenger of "honor" seemed to enjoy the ride!...
Anna.... how nice that you and your mom could do this together !
Some of my best holiday memories come from such
" non- glittery" errands (adventures) like this with family.
WAY more so than the fancy all "dressed up,best behavior for the Aunties" sort.
... Thank you for sharing this,I loved seeing the shops and your beautiful ride home.
Love your coat Kate!! Hello Anna! Love your giggles behind the camera!
Your coat always reminds me of Dolly Parton's "Coat of many colors".:)
I always think of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
@@sewgatormomm yes, that's a great one as well.
Enjoyed the shopping trip, and the ride home thank you for inviting us along.
Look at you in those beautiful colors! Kate, you are a fashion statement! I once wanted to make a jacket like yours, but realized I could never find the time. Anna sounds like she’s such fun to be with,
I’m not sure if you read these, 4 yrs later but…. Just to say I really liked this video. Loved the tree, the journey, your grocery treats and the Hen! And in the previous video it’s definitely a prawn! We know about these things down under 😂
Hi Kate and Anna. What a wonderful family u have. Was fun watching you pick out yr tree. Brings back so many fond memories as a child and as an adult. Thank you for being you and sharing. Luv u. Delia and me. 🤗😺👵💖
Kate, the relationship between you and Anna is priceless. Spending the day out choosing your tree and stopping to buy something for your dinner is something to treasure.
There you are.,,, driving on the wrong side of the road again. Haaaaa!😁 what a lovely day you two had. I love your shops and your little town. Anna is such a sweet person and you guys get along so well. Can't wait for to tomorrow....
Ah, yes, the Amazing Technicolor Coat! You always bring color wherever you go, Kate! Lovely Christmas tree hunt! TFS the inspiration!
What a lovely day you had , that’s just my sort of day . The tree is lovely and I could just eat that lunch .
What a nice ride. I like the countryside near your house . Anna is very nice and I like every single music she chooses for the videos and the funny comments she makes .
I think this is one of my most favorite videos. I absolutely love the way you and Anna love and enjoy each other and the company you keep. It’s a joy to watch:) what a sweet video and a lovely day. Thank you both for sharing it with us all:)😊😊
I smiled all the way through this. Anna's infectious giggle. And your chicky chick giving her seal of approval on the tree.
I so miss England..will be SO happy when I can return to see family and friends....
I feel all Christmasy watching this.........💖
Beautiful tree, beautiful drive, beautiful lunch, beautiful ladies 💕😊🎄
I think the chicken came out to meet you to see if you brought her anything home!!! I think the tree is lovely!! A great choice!!
What a festive fun day! Thank you for taking us along!💕💕💕💕
Beautiful views 😍 You picked a perfect tree. You and Anne have lunch together are priceless ❤️
First time iv seen them gams, ,in blue as well ,, luv luv luv it would never lose you in a crowd, ,,,, really nice
Lovely tree, lovely company! Enjoy ladies!!! ✌🏼️
Love your little car and the color is beautiful. The Christmas tree is sweet even if it is a little wonky. It will be happy at your home, because you will give it love. The drive was gorgeous with the sun low and the clouds.
I love this video with you and Anna...how nice to go together for the tree and shopping for lunch then a beautiful drive home to a nice bowl of hot soup w/crusty bread. Love your little robin's egg blue car (or at least on the screen it looked like that color). Just perfect for your jaunts about town. Have a Blessed day.
Oh now this took me back down memory lane! Many years ago we lived in a rented house called High Teppermoor - it was on the Roman road north of Humshaugh and the highest spot for miles. We could be having heavy snow at the cottage but in Hexham it would just be a bit drizzly! The Waitrose was then Safeway and we would usually stock up in the winter months 'just in case'! I also had the same tree dilemma - the poor man at the garden centre assured me he could get it into any car (not a monster tree - only about 4 foot tall), but he definitely blanched when he saw my little Beetle. The only solution was to drive the 6 miles home with the tree sitting next to me and the roof down - thank goodness it wasn't raining! Thank you - this was a lovely journey.
I laughed at you trying to decide if the tree would fit in the car. I once offered my sons friend a lift home from a school concert forgetting I was in the mini. We spent 20 mins trying to fit me, two 6 foot teenage boys and a cello in there. We managed it in the end - just!
I'd love your 4 degrees please, its a sweltering 44 here today. Im inside with the air-con on recovering my dining chairs with some lovely bird fabric waiting for the cool change to arrive and enjoying your videos
November 21 2022: How lovely your Anna is to be with you getting a tree and loving the bakery that you are in. The conversation is so nostalgic of my Mother and I who has been gone 21 years next month. Your daughter is so special and very pretty. Thank you for sharing your drive today with Anna and the conversations especially of the food. Just love your video’s.
Yay, you picked the tree I did!♥️this vid is fantastic, I so enjoyed going along with you guys! Luv yer coat! Anna is such a good sport, since I pretend you’re my little sister, Alana can be my niece, eh?sogreat to see the terrain. Being in Canada, feel odd to be riding in a car driving on the “wrong” (😉) side of the road, he, he. I used to have a VW Golf and it did me well for many years but your car is much cuter.✌️🇨🇦❤️🙏
Anna, thank you for filming the lovely drive! You are so lucky to have such a wonderful mum-in-law❣
Oh, I loved this video! Thank you for taking us along. I felt as if I was right there with you. I wish our countryside looked like yours does right now. All told, we've had more than 50 inches of snow so far, with minus 23 degree f. temps. I envy you! At this point I'd swap northern Wisconsin for the English countryside in a heart beat! 😁
So lovely to see the countryside near where you live...we live on the coast of SE CT in USA
so our views are quite different...hillier...I love the tree you chose...what a fun day;)))
hugs, Julierose
LOVE having a live tree to replant! And your car color just makes me happy....it's so you, Kate! This made me miss my daughter who is fun to be around like Anna! My morning coffee was very enjoyable watching you today!
Great video, thank you for letting us come along on your excursion. Anna seems such a dear, like you. The tree looks great and thank you for the peek into your food shopping. I've never seen a British grocers before. Today is a soup day here too although it is chili in the crockpot as I go about last minute tasks before tomorrow's memorial service. Very soothing video, thank you again.
Loved you’re tree adventure, Kate you truly are a most beautiful Soul🙃, Anna is so sweet, so I believe she’s a bit shy, she just needs to hang out with you a bit more, and she’ll be just fine
The two of you... I swear. So playful and fun, and utterly charming. LOVED LOVED LOVED this vid. Merry Christmas to all of you !
Kate, you and Anna have the same lovely relationship as I do with my mother-in-law. I have to laugh at the horrible MIL stories I hear; I have been blessed for over 40 years with a true second mom, even more so since my mom passed away in 2015. You both are blessed, as well, to have each other. Merry Christmas!
You are a blessing to each other...🎄🕯🎄
Anna is such a sweet girl. Lovely day you had.
I do look forward to seeing how you dec the tree, Kate. Really enjoyed this outing with the two of you getting the tree.
Hello Kate! Thank you for bringing us along on this fabulous but chilly day with you and Anna. She seems like are real sweetheart and a joy to be friends with. Love the selection of the tree. It is a woman's prerogative to change her mind and that you did. Am enjoying all of these Advent post especially. Wish you Happy Holidays with your family and the very best to you in the New Year. Be well Kate!
Another lovely video Kate and Anna! Your fields were such a lovely shade of green. We had snow squalls off and on all day yesterday so everything here is white. Perfect Christmas tree!
What a fun day ! I wish I had gut energy. I loved the drive but I almost had a heart attack when I saw the car on the wrong side of the road lol , well the wrong side for me.
Hope you have a blessed and Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
I love seeing the drives through the Northumbrian countryside & the traditional Dent stamping ground. They originally came from Haltwhistle but had branches in Haydon Bridge, Hexham & near Langley tile works, not forgetting my OH's branch that went even further afield, to Sunderland.
What a lovely voice Anna has and what a lovely relationship you have I admire you so much best wishes Chris xx
What a lovely day....I enjoyed this in 2021 as much as the first time I saw it.
What a wonderful outing! I’ve been smiling the whole time. Blessings to you for sharing.
I love to watch you because you’re living the life I would if I was well. I don’t say this in an envious way as such because I don’t mean it with any malice...I’m very happy for you and glad you can do all that you do. I’m 49 but suffer with a chronic illness which gives me little energy to do things. I spent today (the shortest day) in bed feeling very unwell and weak. But the positive is I only missed the shortest day and there are many others where I will be able to do some crafting or enjoy the fresh air. Many blessings to you and yours this Christmas.
I kept pointing at the tree I liked -- look at this one Kate! Ha ha ha!!! What a fun video and can't wait to see how you decorate your tree!!! And the soup looked so good I had to fix me a bowl!
Lovely trip to buy a Christmas tree - thanks!!
Thanks for sharing. Love the ride thru the country side. Glad you two had a girls day. So much fun.
I enjoyed that no end! The tree is beautiful. The whole time you were poking through the trees I kept saying, “No, that one,” just like you could hear me. Merry Christmas, Kate and Anna! 🎄
That was a fun little trip, love the tree ❤
Kate, you’re definitely making a statement with that outfit 😉
You picked the perfect TLHH 🌲
Anna, you are such a delight 💚
Every post I watch I think this is my favorite and then the next day here is another great post and i think here is my favorite one. I absolutely love that coat and blue stockings they match so perfectly. I am amazed to watch someone drive to me on the wrong side of the road. LOVE the Christmas tree you made the right choice. I love the way you and Anna interact with each other a lot of love you can tell. You are blessed Kate to have Anna for a daughter-in-law they are precious jewels.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE....this video, I just loved how you took us along on the adventure, picking the tree, grocery store run and then lunch. Absolutely awesome!!!! Oh and driving on the wrong side of the street was a treat too. Countryside was beautiful! I envy you and your family. MERRY CHRISTMAS ! Hope you get some ❄️!
wow! an adventure! thanks for taking us along! ;o)
I think you got the best tree Kate and it will look lovely decorated. Anna is such a great help to you. Merry Christmas to you both from Florida.
So enjoyed seeing the grocery store,I know I know but that’s my thing I guess. Oh and the ride to town , thanks for sharing your day
Meant to mention I dearly love Anna's coat..
What a lovely thing to do i worry about trees i respect trees they are the lungs of our earth.
That was like watching myself buying plants and trees except I never worry about wetheritwill fit in the car, where there's a will there's a way!
Very entertaining, I love everything about Christmas. Thanks so much for sharing 👍❤️😊
Lovely trip to the shops! We Canadians talk the weather all the time too. It’s the thing you can open any conversation with. “That was a bit of a winter-y drive” or “the wheat will love this sun”. Season dependent so nice to see more of Anna next you tube star!
I felt I was there with you. What a lovely day you must have had. Thanks for taking us along.
Our tree is wonky as well. Was that Clara who greeted you upon your return? Truly priceless, a welcome hen. Now you must find a copy of Graham Oakley's "Hetty and Harriet" to see what happens to curious hens. Thanks for a fun outing Anna, Kate and tree. :)
Great idea to just get a living tree!!! This year, I'm decorating the one that lives outside.
