Hey guys!
I hope you are all doing well. This weeks video is a much needed catch up. I feel like I haven't sat down and chatted with you all in quite some time. I hope you are all keeping well in light of everything that is happening around the world. I am sending love to you all.
Big love,
Luke x

Your vlogs make my day. As a 71 year old granny, who lives alone, thoughts often creep in which are not helpful, and yes, they must be acknowledged and worked through. I feel inspired to get in the kitchen and be kinder to myself with a good meal, to visit a friend, window shop, and visit my grandkids. There is a lot of beauty in the world, and we can become overwhelmed and isolated. The terrors of the world, as you said, are to be acknowledged and reflected upon, but can not be the focus. We are meant to be in relationship with the created world and with each other. Thank you for all you do to make the world a kinder place.
Well said! Your grandchildren are lucky to have you in their lives! X
Alison, thank you for being so lovely and sharing those tips. I am sending you so much love, thank you for watching x
Luke, thank you for another lovely video. I appreciate and value your honesty and compassion. That is what drew me to this channel and why I stay.
As somebody who has experienced a bit of life, I think being supported and heard is so valuable. You give us a safe space to be.
As someone who grew up in the 60/70’s, we never talked about mental health and it was a grin and bear it time in our world. There was sooo much change going on.
So thank you for keeping the subject open and safe to talk about.
I’m just coming out of a very dark time, and I kept it quiet. I never talked to my family about it, sort of felt I just didn’t think anyone would understand how I felt. When it got to much to bear on my own, I finally broke down to a friend.
She was amazing and so understanding and truly listened to me.
Each day gets better, I just have to stay honest with where I’m at, not keep it bottled up.
Again, thank you for this lovely community you have built but mostly for just being honest and open. I love my Sunday mornings, I say I’m going to spend some time with my lovely boys from London ( I watch Mr. Carrington also!).
Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday.
Donna
Also, thank you for mentioning the events going on in the world right now, I think you handled it beautifully.
Luke I watch your channel as your so positive and funny..these last few years have been tough I lost my mother and niece in 2020 and in January of this year I lost my dad and March 16 2023 my boyfriend committed suicide..it takes all the energy I have to get through work and life-I feel my life is winding down I have no joy or happiness I got $190,000 from my dad’s estate and I am literally spending it like water-Money and wealth do not do anything when you’re hurting so bad-I gave my little brother $10,000 as he is the only one left and n my family-just be happy you’re still young and healthy-and have your mom-I truly thank you you’re videos have helped get my through this year! Sending hugs and blessings ❤❤
❤sending you love and big hugs from the UK.x
I am so unbelievably sorry to hear this. I can’t imagine how difficult that is to deal with. Truly I am sending you so much love❤️
Sending you all my love, best wishes and big big hugs 😘
I am so very sorry for the tremendous amount of loss you’ve experienced.
Please don’t give up as you have a younger brother who is hurting too and you both need each other.
Life can be so hard but it can be a blessing too. Take it minute my minute if that’s what you need but I encourage you to also get bereavement counseling to help you through these days of loss and grief . Sending you big hugs. 😘🤗
So sorry for your losses, sending you lots of hugs. 😢
Come on everybody, let’s all give Luke a thumb’s up , he so deserves it ! Let’s spread love and kindness during this difficult time….
Hi Luke, this was a really beautiful video. I love reading the comments your lovely subscribers leave...you have a wonderful community. Thank you so much for being so open and honest, you are a breath of fresh air. I don't always leave a comment, but always enjoy your videos. Have a really wonderful week. Take care, stay well! Please give Maggie a cuddle for me. Lots of love Kathy x Canada 🍂🍂🧡🧡🍁🍁
This video actually brought tears to my eyes, just hearing those words that you are loved are really what I needed to hear today so thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤❤ As someone who struggles deeply with their mental health, it always means so much to not feel alone. Never underestimate how much of a difference you make to the world darling ❤ xxxxx
Oh I am sending you so much love. Truly❤
i lost my dad aged 69 on 12th october. even though im 51, it hurts like hell, and watched this video 15th. you had me in tears. as im struggling and your words about thinking of us and your caring nature for your viewers got me. so thank you luke, i think i need to talk to someone. im so confused. but love all your videos and content. your a darling ty
I’ve watched you for a long time and I can see how you have grown over the past year. You should be very proud. You have a wise head on your young ( to me as I’m 62 ! ) shoulders and I’m sure you will continue doing what you really enjoy. I replied to your last video, about my husbands suicide, and I really appreciated you taking the time to reply. Life throws us curve balls at times and can send us down paths we may not have considered or want to go. But sometimes it’s the right path and gives us unexpected options. As you are finding now, as your career takes off . It shines through the screen and that’s a joy to see, how you have had tough times but got through them. I’m sure you will continue to grab life by the horns and enjoy the journey. ☺️
Many eons ago I trained as a chef, doing an college apprenticeship along side working in kitchens. The only chef I like and will watch is Nigel Slater. I like his calm approach to cooking and you remind me of him. Some of the head chefs that trained me were just to much to handle and I learnt some very new to me words ! ! 😂
so sorry to hear about your husband. love to you. gillian x
The one thing I've learned in the 64yrs I've been on this planet is there are NO winner's in any war! Love to all xxx
Luke, from a full and grateful heart, thank you. You are wise beyond your years and your generous and knowing compassion grows ours. So meaningful and touching to read your opening words and so grounding to hear your messages. Loved this delicious recipe, too. How fun to share today with Maggie by your side! Just love her beautiful and loving spirit and innocence! Biggest hugs of respect, friendship and admiration coming to you more from the Colorado Rockies 💙🌿💚🍽️🧂🥖Peace prayers…
Aww luke what a great guy you are ❤so great to hear you are enjoying life , sending you lots of love too
Thought you'd like hear we have just rescued a French bulldog 'Bentley' from the RSPCA hes bringing us so much joy already ❤
Well 😮done you ! People spend a fortune on dogs and don’t realize that you can find plenty of pedigrees at kennels. It’s a win, win on both sides .
Thank you Luke for another great video. As you know America has been turned upside down on its head. You would not recognize New York City if you came here now for a visit. I don’t know why people can’t just be kind and love one another, no matter their choice of religion or how they choose to live. Some days I feel like the whole world has gone bonkers and two weeks ago my anxiety/panic attacks came back full force. I am on medication but when it wears off I feel like I’m living in a horrible, hateful and mixed up, messed up world. I think most people are having problems with their mental health here now. It’s not just me. Thank you always for your kind words and for the calmness that you give to each of us. God bless you and keep you well and safe. Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida 😎🦩🇺🇸🦩😎
Hi, Luke,
What a kind sensitive heart you have. Life can be very difficult for everyone and one thing I learnt, when people are rude, unkind etc to know feelings link to behaviour- with children, adults , animals.
This helps me understand. Love your content. Big hugs ❤
I came for the decor, cooking, thrifting, travel and stayed for the blossoming of a wise soul. Appreciate the acknowledgement of the darkness outside today that sometime moves inside. You're only getting better and better and better. ❤
Hi Luke, good to hear someone who is honest about their mental health journey. Life can be tough, not smooth sailing every day. I was very happy to hear that you have found a way to cope with the bleak times! You have lots of people around you who care for you very much. You are a brilliant chef. Love watching you put a snack or meal together. Wishing you a very happy future. May your dreams come true. X
3 words ... You are fabulous
Hi Luke, I love to watch your blogs you are truly a lovely human being you got this young man keep doing what you do . I lost my beautiful daughter two years ago she couldn’t cope and her anxiety was of the scale you are doing all the right things. Take care young man and just keep doing what you do you are great . 😍
I love this format of video Luke!! It's so relaxed, just like we're talking right in your kitchen~ Continued good vibes to you dear friend.❤ Joan
Thank you Luke for adressing how dark our current world is but also how dark our own inner world can be. In the past years I lost a lot of people close to me: my grandmother due to Covid, my aunt due to a rare brain disease, a dear friend who took his own life and whom we’ve found and my health as I was diagnosed with a congenital heart disease. I’m having trauma therapy for a year now because my childhood and youth have been very abussive and I can finally say the nightmares are fading. I’ve studied psychology myself to support people who experienced trauma and grief and eventually become the best version of themselves ❤ Love from The Netherlands ❤
As you say Luke we dont know each other...but Im really proud of you ..❤ continue enjoying your life, and Thank You for giving so much to us xx
when im feeling uuuughhh i get out in my little communal garden and get my hands in the mud,plant some beautiful flowers,and say hello to the neighbours,,it always makes me feel better
I just love the light, love and joy you bring to us Luke......💜💜✨✨🦋🦋
There are so many bad things going on with the world at the moment, it’s not surprising that mental health issues are at an all time high. It’s so brave of you to talk openly about your feelings, I suffer and so does some of my close family with mental health issues, it’s so good that the stigma has gone and we can talk openly about it. Love to you also, thank you 😊
Hi Luke! I know what you mean. Some days it's so hard to climb out of our dark holes & before we know it...finding sunshine in life can be quite a challenge, but I'm so very glad you were able to pull yourself out and find your sunshine. Sending big hugs and prayers to all those who need to find theirs in this troubled world right now. ❤ Thanks for always staying positive even through the tough days & giving us a happy place to come to on UA-cam. I certainly appreciate it. Love that you loved the Cheez It's btw. They come in other flavors also like white cheddar, which is my fave. 😉 Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 🤠🍁🍂
I know that when we're depressed, even getting out of bed is a real struggle, but on the up days, i really recommend taking up dancing. I do swing dancing, but any dance is good. For that hours lesson, or that 3hr social dance, your mind empties, your heart fills up, and all you think about is dance. All the worries, all the clouds go away, and its a real escape. The more dancing you do, the less down days you have.
I lovehow genuine and honest you are and how you share all your ups and downs with us. Keep keeping it real.
The comment about distracting yourself by keeping busy is so true. Thanks for being open. Sending everyone in the comments good vibes ❤
Firstly, you are such a lovely man and you deserve all the success you are getting and will continue to get. Right then, seeing as you asked, I have been struggling for a while now, since the 1st lockdown tbh, and that has been made worse recently as Dad was diagnosed with dementia last month (not unexpected) and 11 days ago I had to say goodbye to my dog after 12 and a half years, so yeh, things need to improve soon! Annoyingly I know what I gotta do to change things it’s just getting the right mindset isn’t it. Anyway, we’ll get there x
Dearest Luke, you never ramble on, your openess, honesty and discussion is valid. We all go through terribly sad stuff. So keep doing what you are doing, as your community your videos help us through our difficulties or sadness. Never change, you are a sweet angel and a blessing to the world ❤
First of all, your poignant message at the beginning of your vlog spoke for all of us. You're a wonderful soul with sensitivity and empathy. Never change! And on a lighter note ... you have the most incredible eyes!
Luke, you are the most sweetest, genuine and empathic young man. You had me welling up. Its so good that you take time out of your busy day to think of others too. You deserve the wonderful life and opportunities you have worked so hard for and to enjoy every moment you have with family and friends ❤ xx
Hi Luke and believe me when I say it’s after 2 am here in Northern California and I’m just going to bed but had to watch this wonderful visit with you and Maggie.
I love the coziness of the chat and watching you cook that amazing little lunch, it looks delicious. It looks like a wonderful little book to have aside to collect cookbooks so I might have to look at that one as well.
I’m so happy you had such a good time at the wedding , and the wedding couple looked absolutely beautiful as I stated in an earlier message.
Luke I definitely see that you are much happier this year than the previous year. That pleases me to see you thriving and being honest about the ups and downs and the growth this past year is a joy.
You’ve helped more people than you’ll ever know and I’m one of them.
Sending you loads of love to Zara and Maggie too. ❤❤❤
Your lovely message to us all, make me well up Luke. Thankyou. I'm feeling so anxious and low at the moment (started with Covid lockdowns) when I had to work as a key worker. I love watching you and Iwan's videos as I can enjoy your successes that are so well deserved. Have a good week. Sue x
I'm so glad to hear you're doing much better. Watching your videos is a pure joy. It's definitely all about the small things that bring us happiness. I'm making sure to add those back into my days as it helps me, like going out for dinner, getting a coffee from a lovely coffee shop, buying a bunch of flowers from the supermarket etc. Big hugs 🤎
Hi lovely Luke. Just responding to your intro question. I've not been doing so well of late, my work life balance had tipped too far the wrong way. I've also been back and forth to the hospital for various tests and procedures after developing a lump in my neck. Still got more tests to have (more bloods, another ultrasound scan and possibly an MRI) but last week was told its less than 10% likelihood of it being any kind of cancer which was a huge relief. I've just returned from a few days away in a gorgeous vintage caravan out in the middle of nowhere. It was so relaxing. I go wild swimming to help my mental and physical health. I love watching your videos. You bring so much to so many, with your vlogs and also Instagram posts. Thank you for your honesty always. Sending lots of love ❤xx
Hi Luke ,I feel like your video really resonates with me right now . I live with times of depression . Anxiety. And a sadness that sometimes can take over my life . I am so thankful that I have my wonderful family around me . The thing that helps my mood is being out in nature .Forest walks . Being near the sea with my lovely hubby and our beautiful cocker spaniel . At the moment I feel really connected to nature and everything around me . It helps soothe my soul.❤
Your vlogs are the 1st ones I wait for each Sunday .. you have a great natural presence, both positive & introspective .. you are appreciative of everything life offers you & still keeping that small town down to earth quality about you .. Have a great week & thanks for keeping things real ❤❤
I’m one of your American fans:) I love watching you and the food you cook and the places you go. You are a sweetheart and so real . I look forward to my notifications that tell me you have a new video up. I think you are a blessing to many people and you don’t even know it.😘! Me included:)
As im someone who struggles deeply with my mental health, these are the words i needed to hear today, it is always nice to feel im not alone. Xx
Hi Luke, I’m also struggling at the minute, bad days are outweighing the good, but I go to bed every night thinking tomorrow will be a better day, and I know eventually it will. Thank you for sharing that you are also feeling the same as i always feel likeI am the only one who feels this way 🥹
I truly eco the Love the heart to heart ❤ I am glad you are in a better place also I love your cooking demo x
Love a chatty vlog, it’s lovely to hear your mental health is improving Luke it takes guts to talk about it something I don’t only to my hubbie
Big respect for being so transparent. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Luke thank you love the video. I can relate to what you went through, I was hit last May with the worst news ever, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I felt so much despair and thought I had been hit by a bus, I had the support of my team to a point but contacted Mcmillian who have been there for me in my journey. it is nearly a year since I had surgery. I have also gone through radiotherapy, which has caused issues too, but eternally grateful that I am still here. your compassion and honesty are why so many of us are drawn to your channel and can relate in some way. its grat to hear you feel much better in yourself. xxx
I welled up watching this as I know exactly what you are talking about at the begining of this video.Your words resonated hugely with me as I and my family are going through a period of change. Sending all the love to you and your 's xxxx
Ps, traditionally welsh rarebit is for using up leftovers, my dad made THE BEST welsh rarebit, he put Guiness in it. I have never been able to recreate his dish.
A lovely vlog to wake up to on a Sunday morning. Keep doing what you do, you're such a pleasure to watch. Sending hugs to all that need one ❤.
Luke, I am so glad you are doing so much better. I was diagnosed with GAD in 2003 and have had my ups and downs over the years. It is so refreshing to hear you talk about mental health and I know you are helping others feel comfortable speaking about their experiences as well. I too have felt the darkness, it is definitely a scary and lonely place to be and only the support and love of others seems to help. I also work in a High School and was thinking while watching this video about how prevalent the struggles are today with mental health that I as a teen never dealt with.
Your lunch looked fantastic and comforting. Reminded me of a meal I haven't had in ages that my mom cooked, and many people told me their mothers did as well and they either loved it or hated it. In my house growing up it was called "Creamed tuna on toast", many refer to it as another version of the SOS chipped beef which I myself haven't had. Thank you again for sharing and caring, you're a lovely human being. Sending love from California.
I love your videos, you are so honest and open about your feelings. I am 73 and before retirement I suffered from very bad depression. It had been coming on for years and I didn't realise what was happening till my mental health just snapped. Firstly I needed family and friends to acknowledge I was ill. The best thing people can do to help is listen or just be there beside you. I thought of being down a deep hole with a ladder, but had no energy to climb out. If someone climbed down the ladder and just said "I am here" it helped so much. I am so pleased your happy journey continues. I am fine now but recognise the signs of feeling down.
Hi luke thanks for another lovely video you really cheer me up when I feel down lots of live xx
Love you Luke I am struggling a little I find the change of season makes me feel like this I have a history of a very scary time with my mental health only four years ago and I think I get scared I’m going to fall back into that , walking is a great tool for me and I find everything changes when I get out the door …I like seeing you on Sunday mornings and I really appreciate your honesty bless you and yours xx love Maggie and I think pets really help.
I have a rescue cat called Rico who gives me purpose and a feeling someone needs me
stay well Luke 💚
This video was so nice and relaxed. Just you and Maggie in the kitchen. I am glad you enjoyed your first wedding, and that you have a fondness for us wild exuberant Americans. Chess Its come in two other flavors by the way and textures!!! Hope someone kindly gifts you with a snack box of them. There's a Colby Jack I enjoy and the ones with grooves are nice texture wise.
There is nothing like a wedding to make you emotional. Luke you are such a lovely warm talented person and you must continue to enjoy life. You have a lovely family and friends and you give so many people joy through your channel. Much lovexxxx
This was such a lovely vlog thank you, my younger died on Sunday only 58, he in the UK, and I live in OZ and I just can't believe he gone, I'm going through so many emotions, that it's flare up my illness..You made me realise I need to talk about it, thank you x
Bullying and abuse took over my teens twenties.
I had my daughter in my late twenties, it didn't work out with her dad. So after 12 yrs I was single again. I met someone new, who turned out to be a narcissist.
He robbed me, hit me and tore my life apart.
Sometimes fb friends are the best ppl ever, I met up with a friend yesterday.
And we had lunch, a laugh and I feel so much happier than ive felt for a long time.
Bullies in most point a jealous and I'm doing better than my bullies.
So don't ever let the bullies win.
You lovely, eyes are better than any of them
Stay smiling.
I love watching your vids.. watching you & Luke (Mr C) on yooootooooob is one of my weekend treats to myself.. another treat is pastry friday (pain au choc this week, yum). I find that having things to look forward to on a regular basis is one of the things that keeps me going. It's been a rough few years for me but like you, I am discovering that good things can happen for us. Your friends look so happy in their wedding pic, lovely. Who knows what our futures will hold. Spending time with motley-cat is a gift also.. black cats (& dogs) rock!! Enjoy your week ahead, gillian
You’re such a thoughtful, empathetic and genuine person Luke. Thank you for your honesty about your struggles. It makes the rest of us feel less alone as we face our own. Your mam must be so proud of you xx
Thank you Luke. You are such a lovely guy. I really appreciate you asking how everyone are. It means a lot to us all. I am so happy that you have found your niche in life. It just shows, if you hang in there, things turn around. Showing care and compassion with your lovely sense of humour is fab. You described being with your family and friends as being , 'Magical'...it truly is. One is enriched with the love that surrounds you daily. Your vlogs mean much more than you can imagine. I wish there were more people in the world like you. Lots of Love. X
Yes, definitely liked the food demo. I love cheese and that looked delishious. I loved watching Maggie - she’s adorbable!
Lovely video, Luke. So good to know you’re feeling so much better! ❤
Thank you Luke for your message at the beginning. I have felt very bad for all people suffering in war. My son had planned to meet up with his friend at her family home in Lebanon. I pray her family are safe. So glad you are doing well mentally and haven't been afraid to address this subject that still has stigma attached to it. More awareness is vital. Love to you and yours.❤❤❤❤
Luke your such a lovely, honest, generous and genuine young man , who is fantastic at his job. O and have a great lovely mother and friend, flatmate 😊 and family who really love you.
And yes you can still get down sometimes it's a bad down not seen a way up / out. Sometimes when we get very down it may be because even though we work are butt's of we feel we are not getting there quick enough.
Im older than yourself not like granny old 😅 ive tryed all my life not to get to any point were i can't see or just cant get out of a bad / dark place. I lost my Dad he was 50 when i was 20, grandmother a few years after just after my wedding , then my mother and 9 months after my mother one of my younger brothers he was 34 , then at the beginning of lockdown my youngest brother died he was 42 , he was the best loved us all and i miss him so much. I had to get on with things have 3 children to look after. Iv lived with family members suffering going down that hole and what comes with it. And yes its dam hard but if people talked, talk to anyone.
You should be proud. Ive just had a hip replacement so ive got a lot of time with my head and although recovery going great and quicker than i though, there have been some days were I've got up and mentally i was on the floor then that brought me physical down, i had realise what was happening and just got myself up and dressed go for my walk do my exercise which isn't easy when your on your own all day with your thoughts and not been able to physical do much to take your thoughts away.
What mades me happy 😅 today i got into my garden and planted spring bulbs and a lot of clean up got done. I'm a new woman. 😊
Hi Luke, I watch you from Québec, Canada 🇨🇦 & I adore your videos but don’t always comment; however I especially love today’s relaxing video & felt as though I were one on one with you as your video progressed! It is a rather special feeling to experience across a screen & I think u should do more of these types of videos! Your Mum is absolutely right, if u 💕 what you do, u will never work a day in your life! It is what I thought my children & now I’m passing on that same message to my grandchildren!
God bless n continued
success in all aspects of your life …à très bientôt, je l’espère🌹💕🇨🇦
Sending you so much love Luke. I love your content, you're so down to earth.
Big hugs to Zara & Maggie too ❤x
Hi Luke, You're words touched my heart, for so long I've waited for someone to say that to me. Lots of love to you to, Ann x
Wow what a beautiful Vlog!!!
Hi Luke, I live in the Cotswolds, and feel very privileged to do so right now, it’s a beautiful part of the world to be. You are such a beautiful soul, your intro this week was so nice and very heart warming that you took the time to acknowledge what is going on right now. This is what I love about you, as well as your amazing and inspiring vlogs! You and Mr Carrington are my Sunday treat 😊👌
Had to chuckle at Maggie in a the back ground as you were cooking your posh cheese on toast 😂
Thank you for being you, have a great week! ❤
Hi Luke. What a heartfelt emotional video. You are such a kind, caring young man. I love listening to you. Life has been so tough these last few years and some days it’s hard to keep going but as long as you keep going every day and find something every day to be grateful for I find that helps me. You cook the most amazing things. Have a lovely day and sending you love and hugs 🥰💕
I thought for a moment that you had published a cook book - when your hair was longer of course! We all await you publishing a cook book x Thank you for your thoughtful, heartfelt words at the beginning of this vlog - we can only all hope and pray for peace. Always look forward to your vlogs x Take care
Oh what a stunning vlog!! Sending big hugs to you and Maggie ( I have a fox red lab puppy who is growing day by day)! I will definitely be getting that recipe book as that rarebit looked DELICIOUS!!! Xx
I’ve had such a down day today bursting into tears watching the devastation that is unfolding in Gaza. All those children and families. It’s absolutely heartbreaking 💔 It makes me feel so helpless, how we are allowing this to happen.
I really the exact same. I am donating where I can but I truly hope it ceases immediately. Too many innocent lives have been lost.
Hi LUKE lock down was the opposite to me id realised id lived in isolation all my life ,i had the first covid ,and recovered we did the blood tests to help with the vaccine trials when we got over that i was awakened ,i started doing ,what id always wanted to do ,i hope you continue getting stronger ,and live your journey xxx
Wonderful and yes heart tugging vlog sweetheart … thank you for making me smile. You are such a beautiful soul Luke and deserve so much happiness xx much love xx♥️
Bless your heart luke. I think your videos and vlogs since the "dark period" have become amazing and ive followed you for ages and i can assure you watching your videos make me happy, i love watching your cooking videos and especially your holiday blogs as you two are so funny, zara is your perfect wing person. Im so happy your doing better and thank you for saying about not being alone. I know that in fact your comment made me cry and im typing this in tears becsuse at times as a lone carer of my disabled adult son i do have my times when i feel very alone even though i do have a good family its still possible to feel and sink into a dark place. I found watching you and a few select other youtubers ( im very picky) well it takes me out of my own head space and just being able to watch and escape into a vlog can make me smile and feel like ive just come away from a good chat with a friend even though technicaly its one sided conversation.
Thankyou so much Luke for your honesty and your support to us all. I absolutely love your vlogs and I watch them all the time but today especially this one struck a chord with me, I needed this so much , THANK YOU ❤
It’s about being present at these things also I think because as you say covid was a mind problem and because we grasped at everything when we came out of it sometimes the things we do aren’t quality experiences . On down days I look to positives and I have also found decluttering my home a huge help for my mental health ( still a process I’m going through ) . I try not to sweat the small stuff also I will always be anxious but want to work on this . Find joy in what you do you are a gem in the rough don’t forget this special man x
Luke, you show me it's the little things you do for yourself that make every day great.
Sweet and sensitive to comment on what is happening at the start. Then addressing mental health. Kudos and thanks!
Thank you for always being so frank and honest. So much of social media is all about the “fakeness” so it’s really refreshing to have you talk about things we are all probably feeling. This past year has, in a word, been absolutely hideous for me. But I’m slowly coming back to myself thanks to therapy and working through the issues in my marriage. I paint to find joy and that painting has turned into my lite’s purpose. So a literal silver lining. I wish you and everyone here, love and peace and health. (And an extra kiss for “our” Maggie xxx)
Hi Luke, firstly I just love your videos, your honesty and passion for life. I'm so pleased that this year has been good for you! You have an amazing future ahead with so many things to come, which you truly deserve. Also thank you for introducing me to Julius! I had never heard of him. He's living in beautiful Dorset, I don't think it's too far from me. I'll definitely be buying his book! I've got to keep myself supplied until your book is out (it's going to happen I'm sure)! Have a wonderful Sunday, love to Maggie and Zara ❤
Hi Luke, i really enjoy watching your videos. They never fail to make me smile. Would you believe my cat Mila sat next to me and watched your video too, bless her. Really looking forward to Samhain, and carving my customary Pumpkin 🙂. I'm coming up to a few difficult months, but trying to stay focused and positive to help myself get through this. Thank you once again for brightening up my days Luke. Have a lovely week ahead, sending love and hugs to you, Maggie and Zara 🙂
Loved this relaxed style of video. That recipe looked delicious. Have a great week. ❤
Absolutely needed this video today ❤ Started therapy last week as I realised I was struggling mentally and hearing you affirm my actions has been lovely 🙏🏾
Thank you Luke for letting us know how your doing and the supportive way your encouraging everyone to talk or be there for each other.
Your videos are so calming to watch and bring joy to the everyday. Look forward to seeing your videos.
Glad you’re in a better place. I’m sure Zara and your dog sitting and Maggie have helped. I think stroking animals is just such a stress reliever. 😊
ps your recipe looked yummy 😋
Hi Luke I’m so very glad that you are starting to feel at peace .. I do think the last few years have been hard for us all … facing our mortality etc . I retired at the end of 2021 as a result of being exhausted having worked through COVID . It has taken till now for me to feel relaxed and on top of everything.. now at 64 I think I would like to go back to work part time , when I retired I thought yes this is it for me but it is so different and sometimes the more time you have the more time you waste. Lots of thinking still to be done to decide the right path for me … what I’m trying to say in a very long winded way is life is a constant learning curve, just when you think you have it worked out , you grow and change as a person and open up new challenges. You’re a terrific young man with so much talent! If you can try not to take life too seriously, just do your best and enjoy what you can ❤❤❤❤
Well said Luke been having some issues lately but listening to u has helped such a lot thank you ❤
I loved your video today. Our lives can always improve with the hard work you talked about. Thank you.
PS I want to try today’s recipe.
Hi Luke love this Vlog, will definitely be trying that recipe. Went to Bath this week, great time apart from Waitrose, my daughter and grandaughter went and we had decided on salad, they had no cucumber, tomatoes or greens just a red pepper, also no bananas. They did have chicken and bread. We were only there overnight. On the other hand fantastic bookshops, wonderful service everywhere.Watching Maggie makes the world a better place thank you.
Morning Luke my son came to visit having a great time.When I feel low my son who lives with me keeps telling me things to keep me up. My dog helps
What a lovely relaxed Vlog and heartfelt too, thank you for that. So much going on in the world, it's like the whole place has gone mad isn't it? But as Alison below says, we must always reflect but must not make it our only focus. Sometimes I soak up everything from the news, family problems, the state of the world, the UK and I have to really pull myself up and priorotise and come back down to earth, otherwise I fear I may get lost in it all. Our darling 14 year old cat Mr Mush (rhymes with Bush) is not very well and we are so worried about him, he has a scan next week. He is my priority at the moment. We are also trying to sell our house and move, but the market has gone quite cold around where I live (Somerset) so that is annoying, as we have been trying to move since before lockdown and it is beginning to grate and annoy. However, I know how lucky I am, like you I have lovely people I can laugh with, my lovely hubby of 41 years, two amazing sons and an amazing Granddaughter. I find when I have just about had enough, I pop on to You Tube I follow a few, yourself, Kate and Iwan included and it always makes me smile, & brings me back down to earth. That Haddock and cheesey toast looked lovely and I am hungry, my hubby is downstairs now about to cook me a lovely steak for dinner, and I am really looking forward to that. See, life aint so bad is it after all? Thanks again Luke, have a great week end to come. Love, Hugs and Kisses to you, Zara and of course lovely Maggie x
Thank you Luke for this tender and thoughtful video. I enjoyed every second. You continue to inspire me.
Luke, i could not be happier that you are in a better place this year. I have to say i was truly worried about you. So proud of you for working on your mental health, and being able to come out of the darkness. You are a wonderful young man who is kind and loving and you deserve all the best things that life can give you. 😊🇨🇦❤️
Luke, I love this format, and I love you. You’re a bright light in a dark day. x
So proud to see you on much better footing. You seem to be well on your way out of the darkness x
I’m glad you’re feeling much stronger & recognise your down times really am
Luke your honesty& written words have made me be honest to myself want to share it
Last year I took VR. from a job I adored with ppl I truly enjoyed their company I smiled & laughed in between serving customers
I went home & live alone looking forward to tomorrow
I took vr as I felt I couldn’t face an interview for my role
I helped everyone with getting their interview prep together & did nothing for me
I’ve not worked for 9 months
I live alone and apart from seeing my grandson for school drop which I did when I worked as well I don’t see anyone
Instead I sit alone apart from tidying up
Got health issues & depression/ anxiety
I’m just heavily broken
I’ve been offered jobs / volunteering but feel quite low I can’t follow on
& I’m tired of pretending I’m ok
Great video Luke. My go to place when i am feeling low is my garden. I have needed it a lot over the past few years. Take care of yourself 🐱 X
Thank you so much Luke for another great vid. So kind of you to put up the notice in the beginning so true but believe me when the world is burning we need those light spots that you are giving and thank you so much for that. Take care and stay safe, hugs from the Netherlands. Vleer.
Luke, firstly why on earth don’t you have your own cooking show by now, you are fabulous!
Secondly, I truly admire the way you spoke out about your sadness, talking is by far one of the best remedies!
Love watching you with Zara but also with Ewan and Kate.
Keep smiling 😊
Loved the chat and the cooking ( which looked amazingly tasty) thank you for sharing ❤
You should be so proud of everything you create to share with us - I love your videos so much and for many different reasons. Keep on being the creative soul you are! Sent with huge mum- hugs for your moments of ' wobble '... which so many of us have throughout our lives! 😍 xxx
Life is too short for stress and anxiety yet most of experience it. I loved this video, do what makes you happy as the joy will easily be seen by us all. The winter months can be so hard for ‘dark thoughts’ so take every opportunity at happiness whether it be running, walking, reading, being with friends or just sitting in the fresh air. Love to you Zara and Maggie moo xxx
Been watching you for years but very rarely comment. You’re are a fabulous human and absolutely love watching your vlogs ❤
