So, I used the plant app from suggestions, and it came back as a "Gum Bully", A species of sideroxylon, from pictures online of the flowers, I think that this is correct. I am safe from the fairies!
I'm from Tyneside but live in Western Canada, and we planted a Toba hawthorn in our garden some years ago. Because we're zone 3 many things that are hardy over there can't survive here in northern Alberta, but this Toba variety of hawthorn can be grown. It has tiny little bright pink flowers in spring and leaves that are small and with lots of points, a bit like tiny maples, not at all like the leaves I saw as you were clearing up your prunings. I'm glad you were able to identify your tree and you're safe from the fairies. My hawthorn didn't survive this past winter so now it has to be felled, and I'm sad to lose it. Trees are precious, not just for the air we breathe but for the beauty they give us. I hope the fairies aren't ticked off at us. 🧚♂️🧚♀️🧚🥺
“It’s better to try and fail than fail to try.” That will never refer to you. YOU ARE FEARLESS! As you do more public speaking live, Catherine, it will become much easier each time. I like these chatty vlogs and the wide variety within them. You are always so funny and clever when you are talking to us, and I almost feel like I know you! You always have me in a happy mood by the end and it is so enjoyable to listen to you, watch you try something new or difficult, and see that you are always so positive, no matter what. Thank you for putting your total effort into everything you do and sharing it with us!
Thanx. This was a super nice tea break with you. Love that magic tool to cut the tree. You are welcome to vlog and share your life Will never be boring
I am a Priest of over forty years experience and I always get nervous before I speak. I think that being nervous is a sign that you deeply care about what you are sharing. So nerves are something that will stay with you forever and you will continue to delight and inform everyone who listens to you! 🥰
I showed my husband your tool on the video and when I got home from work today he gave me one as a gift. Yep, went straight outside to try it....Brilliant ! Thanks for the great content.
Don't worry about being boring. I enjoy all your content. Even if not much is going on your vlogs are cozy and comforting. As an American it's all interesting to me just seeing a bit of everyday Irish life.
What a treat when I came across this extra vlog , can’t wait to see your bathroom , hey you are certainly not boring either , what ever you do is always good to listen to or watch x
About public speaking, RTE acknowledged that you are a star. How great is that! So many subscribers, proven content and delivery. The more interviews you do the more natural it will feel. Bob Hope's maxim for performances was to "always show that you are happy to be there". That comes naturally to you. You already know your topics because you live them. I've given power point talks to large groups. I always add something I haven't shared previously., extra photos or a story. A cousin lives on a farm in Galway. Years ago, her husband wanted to clear a field they weren't using but she hesitated because of the presence of Hawthorn. I've been blessed with many cats who have lived to a great age. They need moisture. Easily dehydrated. Every cat I've had loves Gerber's Baby Beef (whipped beef) when they are poorly. Not a regular diet for long but nice as a treat, too. Recommended by a vet. I purchased a small cat fountain on Amazon (only $25.). The cat took right to it. They love running water. Thanks for your positive, relatable videos.
Love how you light up when you get a new power tool. Love how you just tackle all the things. I suffer from horrible carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve entrapment. The numbness and pain can be so awful. Ireland has always been a dream trip for me. Love watching your videos. Makes me feel like I’m there 🥰
I am coming across all your old blogs and they're all wonderful and natural and no truer saying Its good to Try & Fail than to Fail to Try And you always give everything a 100% who could ask for more x
I was taught many years ago in school that when you are speaking in front of an audience, you look at them and picture them naked. Yes my teacher said that! It makes you relax, smile and your fear goes away because you have the upper hand because you have clothes on! Not sure how that would help on radio unless you picture naked people listening to the radio! LOL! But one thing that impressed me about her idea was that when you smile you can tell that in your speaking voice. Even on radio. You can hear the happiness with no fear. So SMILE when you are doing this and it will come across as happy and confident! P.S. You did a beautiful job on your tree! Take some small twigs, glue them on the outside of a picture frame and it makes the most gorgeous picture frame. You can do anything! You are so amazing!
My friend was from Ireland as well. I just forgot where there. She passed away few years ago. We never got to visit there. We planned it though, but due to her health it didn't happen. Hope I get to see your country.
I understand your concern about easing into the new regime with restrictions... it's mixing with people again for myself... slowly and steady is the way to go ☺️ being Welsh with Irish grandparents I love hearing Irish folklore x
Got the hubby watching you now too. He said, "what is she having acupuncture for -- she hoping it'll make her grow?" Oh, the wit of the Irish! Sarcastic sod that he is. Hope Pepsi is doing well. She is very lucky to have found a home with you.
You are adorable. Thank you so much for brighten up my day. I am a very new watcher binging on your vids. I love your chatty vlogs, videos and not forgetting the cats. YOU ARE NOT BORING, like the many below I find you interesting, funny and willing to have a go. Bless you.
This was such a treat 🤗, please give Pepsi an extra cuddle but don't leave out Blondie, Seeing the chimneys was so nice I have memories of my Gran .. Dads Mum , showing us pictures of Dublin . Great new tool ,Lisa said thank goodness we don't have a tree 😂🤣😂all I could think about was the battery pack , I'm so impressed with the brand. Totally understand when you say, we're aloud out but your not in a rush ... on line shopping saves me time, worry and a lot of money because I only buy the item I want, but I'm going into town Loughborough tomorrow for some crafting bits after a drive through breakfast. Stay safe stay well xxx
I love your chatty vlogs,i enjoy them alot.You brighten up my day and i am enjoying my coffee while watching you🌻 your garden is so lovely.Have a wonderful day🦋🐦🐞🌻....you are not boring at all,you seem like a womderful friend to alot of us here😊🐈🐈
Never ever boring! I live in Granite Falls WA and we are still having sloppy rain, ugh! I know public speaking is scary but I think you will kinda get used to it. Your very good at so many things, love this one, all of them❤️
Love ur chatty vlogs. Not boring at all. I’ve been doing yoga 🧘🏻♀️ with Adriene for 4 years now. It’s done wonders for mental & physical health. Can’t recommend it enough. Also that pixie 🧚♀️ fear is a huge thing in Ireland 🇮🇪. Like roads get diverted cos no one wants to remove the pixie tree!
Thank you for you. Stage fright: The poor haters won’t be helped by the help you have to offer no matter what time you have or prep you put in; the dear people who will be helped only have so much time with you and you doing your best will be enough and you must keep calm focus on those friends. Tea with friends. Make yourself a public speaking mug that says “tea with friends” and put your intention on being the relaxed gentle hostess that guides and not on being a performer. There’s no flaming hoop to jump through. You are enough. Thanks again for you, from Canada.
AWW Catherine I love you, I totally believe in fairies too! I paint rocks for them, little doors and houses! The fairies will definitely appreciate it being pruned!
You just made my day! I miss my international travels. You are not only adorable but super funny. Stumbling across your channel and listening to your fairy stories have me giggling so hard. I’m near Tuscaloosa, Alabama in the US. Waaaaay down in the Deep South (where the summers are brutal and the thought of wearing a sweater, anytime, seems cruel!) I’ve loved all of your helpful videos but I especially appreciate the one in the garden! Much love and happiness to you in 2022! 💚
I very much enjoyed this video! Really like that you chat and do things and projects that I am interested in seeing and hearing about. You have made your home so lovely. Looking forward to seeing your bathroom remodel. Your enthusiasm makes me happy! Thank you for sharing your time, etc.
I have small hands too and hated gardening gloves because they never fit. I stumbled upon children's gloves and OMG, what a difference! Try a large kids and see, it's amazing to have gloves that fit and are the same as adults. Love your new tree trimmer!
I am totally boring!!! LOL!! A year and a half of isolation!! I enjoyed your vlog, Catherine! Love to hear you chat on different subjects. You did a great job with the tree. Sorry your project didn't work out. But now you know and next time it will be great. Have a wonderful week!
This week my husband and I flew to Amsterdam, and Dublin was one of our stops. I thought of you while we were there. I know the separation from people is getting to you. I hope you continue to stay well!
You are an amazing woman! I actually showed my husband your tree trimming tool. One tip I can give you from him is, he puts an old sheet down to lay the trimmings on. That way he can gather is up easier. I have serious health issues and have stayed home since last March. I'm more nervous now that people in the US aren't wearing masks and everything is opening up. I would hate to have made it this far then get sick. We are being MORE careful than ever!
Never boring Catherine!!! And really helps us all get through these strange times, thanks so much.... I had vertigo when I was stressed working 2 jobs at a time.. Didn't like the SIRT tablets at all but hope they helped....... I think recent times cause a chronic stress rather than high intensity stress.... its just so wearing.... so really, you are doing great. I find stopping smelling lavendar and rosemary help me be in the moment.... and dancing in the kitchen like a nut.... Tony Robbins says "emotion follows motion" .. so if ya move like a happy person ya can make yourself feel better apparently.... works for me often.... take care. You are a dote and gorgeous at the same time, bless you Pet.
Hi Catherine, love your channel, I never miss a video. You touched a nerve when you spoke about fear of public speaking, I've suffered the same for years. I recommend you look at Mel Robbins videos, she explains that the physical feeling of fear is exactly the same as the physical feeling of excitement. So, instead of thinking that your fearful you can think ' I'm really excited to be doing this radio chat'. It's worked for me !
Hi from Cape town . Not boring at all it's great just to spend time with you doing day to day things . Look forward to the next vlog . Hope your kitty is doing okay.
Stage fright! Some great actors have it but they all say once on stage the fear goes. Also because UA-cam and Instagram you are in control so there is a luck control. I really hope you overcome fears because I believe you would be very good on TV, etc. ❤️
I ALWAYS enjoy your vlogs. You seem likr a kindred friend even though you are the same age as my son. I think you are a wonderful young lady. Hope to see you again soon.
Catherine - so enjoyed just hanging out with you. You are never boring! Here are some completely random thoughts: Look upon your "pre-show anxiety" as a positive ... the adrenaline it creates can truly be a plus. Re: the tree ... take a small branch or some leaves to your local nursery and have them ID it. I've been doing Yoga with Adriene for the past 2 years ... she is the best! Poor Pepsi - when my cat became "elderly" she became a very picky eater ... I spent lots of time standing in the pet store reading cat food labels. Thumbs up on the acupuncture ... my best advice is to make sure you are staying hydrated ... it makes ALL the difference! Have a good week!
Your videos are never boring. I like a chatty vlog but always look forward to Thursday to see what you are making or crafting. I love seeing the cats too.
😇💜 Hi Catherine, OK first of all, I have captions, that are on my phone, when I'm watching UA-cam., BUT...they didn't use to be on my phone when I'm watching UA-cam, and as I'm watching you explain, about the tree { it was written in the caption, as a fairy fart LOL 🤭 } I REALLY enjoy, hearing from you, and I also ENJOY any kind of history, or even anything mythical { I think 🤔 I'm saying it correctly LOL 😆 } any way, when you showed us the tool, for cutting or trimming the tree, and you mentioned Mr. Carrington, I was thinking about, when you two went to a seminar, and I can't believe that, it has been two years ago.🤗 Mr.Carrington is such a SWEET person, and I have watched his channel a couple of times.🤗 I L 💜 VE hearing, the birds🐦🐦 singing in the background.🤗 My back yard, doesn't have any trees 🌳, but the front yard, has the trees 🌳, that happens to be the cities trees 🌳, and so the city takes care of them.🌳🐦🤗💜💜💜 I do miss gardening, but I can't do it anymore, because of health reasons.😊💜 Anyway SWEETIE, Thank YOU for sharing this vlog with us, and I HOPE that this finds you well My SWEET friend.🤟😘🤗😊💜💜💜💜💜 P.S. as Bob Ross would have said, your craft issue, that didn't work or turn out the way you would have liked { it's a Happy mistake 🤗 } 🌿🌳🐦🏡🌞🌳🌷🌿🤗💜
@@DaintyDiaries 😇💜AWW Thank YOU SWEETIE, and I hope you have a WONDERFUL week as well, and I also look forward to seeing, what you pick for your bathroom 🛁🚿 tiles.🤗💜💜💜
Well I don't think its boring I love to see you chat bit like Mr Carrington , and Kate Mcabe just love to watch you doing crafts and doing the garden weather permitting as in U.K.it's any day that you can get out I'm fairly new to watching you as Mr c sang your praises so thought I would drop in for a look and am so glad I did so am looking forward to seeing more of your garden ect and thank you for your time to share ..x
You are not boring at All! Love your random bits and excited to see the progress of your ensuite. I once thought i would make resin necklaces with dandelion seed in them as gifts. I bet its harder than it looks , but I still want to try. You never know till ya try. Id love just to see a vlog of your town and countryside. Thanks for sharing.
Public Speaking was req'd in college. Here's some tips 1. Notecards - just write topics to avoid reading. 2. Look up frequently if you must read something. 3. Making eye contact keeps audience engaged, so remember to look left, center, right, center, left, center, & so on. 4. Lastly, practice, & avoid saying "um". Hope this helps! Love your vids:)
How wonderful to have a Hawthorne in your very own garden! The flowers and berries make lovely wines and jellies and medicinally stabilise blood pressure, and the pieces of wood you cut are wonderful to carve into handles or whatever you like. It is a magical tree. Loved this video, and am always happy when I get a notification that you've a new one out xxx
Hi, Catherine, you're doing everything you should in terms of the public speaking. It's usual to be nervous - you should be concerned when you are no longer nervous because that means you are complacent and your audience will soon figure you out. Good luck with your future radio appearances!
Awww your Alliums are already blooming 🤩 Mine are still pods growing with a few slowly opening just love them Great job on your tree trimming 😍 Awww love my black cat Angel totally understand how you feel love cats No your not boring we all love seeing n look forward to your videos such a joy to watch x
I love your chatty blogs. Loved tale of the fairies and the tree but when you turned that tool on I just about spit my water out! You looked so powerful! Take that on your next chat on the radio/tv and you will get thru it easy peasy! LOL any word on your book? I'll be one of the first in line to by! You always make me smile and literally laugh out loud! Hope your Mom is feeling better! Stay safe Dainty!💐
The nerves are normal and may not ever go away. I know people who have done public speaking for decades and still get nerves. It is a good sign. Means you are gonna do great! I want those loppers. I have arthritis but even if I didn't...😍 Boring life? Nah....good life. Thanks for sharing. Kisses for Pepsi....
What a lovely surprise . Love love love your vlogs . You have such a wicked personality that I could watch you doing even the most boring of stuff cos your so funny and entertaining x
Oh Catherine, I had such a giggle when the video speeded up lol. I so love your videos, they really cheer me up, the family look at me like I'm mad with my ear pods laughing away . I hope your mother is feeling better, cant wait for the next instalment. Jane
I have binge watched your channel in lockdown. I am loving getting the notification of new content. You really inspire me to do more with my rental as gardens and furniture are the main things I can update/decorate. Thank you for your efforts and energy :)
Here in the US the resin you’re using can just be tossed into the garbage. I work in a lab where we use resin every day to grind up sections of printed circuit boards. As soon as the bottles are empty they can be tossed. If you end up with extra just pour hardener in it and let it set up, then go ahead and throw it out. Love the video and you aren’t boring by any means! Funny and courageous I’d say!
Fun to watch Catherine. One would never know that you have such anxiety about speaking live. You seems so relaxed on your videos. You did a great job on your tree. Be very careful using resin. That is a target Chemical and can be very unhealthy. It may not show up until later in life so be careful on how often you are around that stuff. Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸
Being an American, I love watching anything you have going. The scent is charming. Sorry about the resin craft, but to be honest I would have done 1 to 1 myself. It makes more sense to me. Oh well. Good lessen learned. Have a wonderful Irish day.
Catherine I absolutely love your vlogs! The longer the better. Mr Carrington introduced me to you a while ago and I find you both so interesting and soothing! I suffer from anxiety and vertigo among other things. You are so amazing at all you do, you have inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and do more to push my boundaries. If I panic over having to do something or go somewhere I reassure myself I "don't" have to do it but I "want" to do it so that sometimes helps me alittle. Thank you for being you ❤ xxx Ps sending love to Pepsi
I have never left a comment before but I just had to this time. You always make me smile, you'so upbeat it's just what I need! From your 'toddler' jumpers to your undies on the rad!! Hilarious!! X
So, I used the plant app from suggestions, and it came back as a "Gum Bully", A species of sideroxylon, from pictures online of the flowers, I think that this is correct. I am safe from the fairies!
what is the plant app called?

You call it "waffling" I call it another wonderful vlog!! I could watch your vlogs all day!! You're not even a little bit boring!!🌷🌷
You boring, NEVER! You amaze me every time. You trimmed your tree on your own! You are one AMAZING gal!

I couldn't agree more! This comment hits the nail on the head!
Thanx. This was a super nice tea break with you. Love that magic tool to cut the tree. You are welcome to vlog and share your life Will never be boring
Aw thanks so much, o hope you enjoyed your tea ❤️
I love how you cut a branch and take a step back to look at the tree, before going back and cut some more.
🤣 gotta make sure I’m not butchering it ❤️

I would love to hear more about Irish myths and fairies. I so enjoy your videos, they are warm and lovely.
I love the way you speak. That's what makes you YOU. 💛💛😊👍
Got the hubby watching you now too. He said, "what is she having acupuncture for -- she hoping it'll make her grow?" Oh, the wit of the Irish! Sarcastic sod that he is. Hope Pepsi is doing well. She is very lucky to have found a home with you.

Thanks Sophia ❣️❣️ thanks for stopping by xx
Just remember, anxiety and excitement feel the same in your body. So rather than say, ‘I’m anxious’, say ‘I’m excited! ‘ ❤️✨
This was such a treat 🤗, please give Pepsi an extra cuddle but don't leave out Blondie,
Seeing the chimneys was so nice I have memories of my Gran .. Dads Mum , showing us pictures of Dublin .
Great new tool ,Lisa said thank goodness we don't have a tree 😂🤣😂all I could think about was the battery pack , I'm so impressed with the brand.

This is amazing, it's like a collection of your IG stories. Of course the people want vlogs!! 😂🌞🔥

Good advice! I was going to recommend a shot of whisky beforehand but your advice is way better!

Hello Catherine So very nice to have a chatty video with you today. TY (Pauline S)
Adorable! You are definitely NOT boring.
You are an amazing woman! I actually showed my husband your tree trimming tool. One tip I can give you from him is, he puts an old sheet down to lay the trimmings on.

Never boring Catherine!!! And really helps us all get through these strange times, thanks so much.... I had vertigo when I was stressed working 2 jobs at a time.. Didn't like the SIRT tablets at all but hope they helped....... I think recent times cause a chronic stress rather than high intensity stress.... its just so wearing.... so really, you are doing great.

Aw I'm glad and thanks so much for watching xx
Hi Catherine, love your channel, I never miss a video. You touched a nerve when you spoke about fear of public speaking, I've suffered the same for years. I recommend you look at Mel Robbins videos, she explains that the physical feeling of fear is exactly the same as the physical feeling of excitement. So, instead of thinking that your fearful you can think ' I'm really excited to be doing this radio chat'. It's worked for me !
Yesss thanks for sharing! Great chatty video!🙏👌
Hi from Cape town . Not boring at all it's great just to spend time with you doing day to day things . Look forward to the next vlog . Hope your kitty is doing okay.
You’re never boring to watch 🥰
Aw, thanks Colette x
Stage fright! Some great actors have it but they all say once on stage the fear goes. Also because UA-cam and Instagram you are in control so there is a luck control. I really hope you overcome fears because I believe you would be very good on TV, etc. ❤️
Thanks Jacqui, your so right about control, and I think with loves and different environments, the control is less x
Yes, I think t.v show would be great .
I ALWAYS enjoy your vlogs. You seem likr a kindred friend even though you are the same age as my son. I think you are a wonderful young lady. Hope to see you again soon.
That is so kind Patricia, I really appreciate the support to my channel and watching my videos 🥰❤️
Toddlers clothes 🤦😂I could watch you all day what a lovely person you are. I would love you to show round Ireland 🤗you take care 👍
My heart is happy after watching you in the garden looking after your ‘Fairie tree’! 🌳 fairy 🧚♀️
So great to spend a bit of time with you and a chatty video. Not doing much here -
Aw thanks Laurie, I hope your having a lovely restful Sunday x
Catherine - so enjoyed just hanging out with you. You are never boring! Here are some completely random thoughts: Look upon your "pre-show anxiety" as a positive ... the adrenaline it creates can truly be a plus. Re: the tree ... take a small branch or some leaves to your local nursery and have them ID it. I've been doing Yoga with Adriene for the past 2 years ... she is the best! Poor Pepsi - when my cat became "elderly" she became a very picky eater ... I spent lots of time standing in the pet store reading cat food labels. Thumbs up on the acupuncture ... my best advice is to make sure you are staying hydrated ... it makes ALL the difference! Have a good week!
Aw, thanks so much for the lovely tips Johanna, so true about the hydration! x
I cannot wait to see your renovated bathroom! I enjoy your Vlogs! Keep them coming 😊😊😊😊
Your videos are never boring. I like a chatty vlog but always look forward to Thursday to see what you are making or crafting. I love seeing the cats too.
aw Gina thank you ❤️❤️ thanks for watching hope you have a lovely week xx
Another quote if at first you don't succeed try and try again garden looks great☺️
😇💜 Hi Catherine, OK first of all, I have captions, that are on my phone, when I'm watching UA-cam., BUT...they didn't use to be on my phone when I'm watching UA-cam, and as I'm watching you explain, about the tree { it was written in the caption, as a fairy fart LOL 🤭 } I REALLY enjoy, hearing from you, and I also ENJOY any kind of history, or even anything mythical { I think 🤔 I'm saying it correctly LOL 😆 }
any way, when you showed us the tool, for cutting or trimming the tree, and you mentioned Mr. Carrington, I was thinking about, when you two went to a seminar, and I can't believe that, it has been two years ago.🤗
Mr.Carrington is such a SWEET person, and I have watched his channel a couple of times.🤗
I L 💜 VE hearing, the birds🐦🐦 singing in the background.🤗
My back yard, doesn't have any trees 🌳, but the front yard, has the trees 🌳, that happens to be the cities trees 🌳, and so the city takes care of them.🌳🐦🤗💜💜💜 I do miss gardening, but I can't do it anymore, because of health reasons.😊💜
Anyway SWEETIE, Thank YOU for sharing this vlog with us, and I HOPE that this finds you well My SWEET friend.🤟😘🤗😊💜💜💜💜💜
P.S. as Bob Ross would have said, your craft issue, that didn't work or turn out the way you would have liked { it's a Happy mistake 🤗 }
🌿🌳🐦🏡🌞🌳🌷🌿🤗💜
Aw Jennifer thank youu ❤️❤️❤️ fairy fart lol 😆😆 thanks for watching hope you have a fab week xx
@@DaintyDiaries
😇💜AWW Thank YOU SWEETIE, and I hope you have a WONDERFUL week as well, and I also look forward to seeing, what you pick for your bathroom 🛁🚿 tiles.🤗💜💜💜
I’d love to learn more about fairies if you ever vlog about them. Thank you for sharing so many cool things with us.
I love the chatty videos. It’s fun to just spend time with a friend and catch up.
You are never boring. You sound good on the radio. Keep it going. Your a cute little toddler. 😂
Well I don't think its boring I love to see you chat bit like Mr Carrington , and Kate Mcabe just love to watch you doing crafts and doing the garden weather permitting as in U.K.it's any day that you can get out I'm fairly new to watching you as Mr c sang your praises so thought I would drop in for a look and am so glad I did so am looking forward to seeing more of your garden ect and thank you for your time to share ..x
You are not boring at All! Love your random bits and excited to see the progress of your ensuite. I once thought i would make resin necklaces with dandelion seed in them as gifts. I bet its harder than it looks , but I still want to try. You never know till ya try. Id love just to see a vlog of your town and countryside. Thanks for sharing.
Public Speaking was req'd in college. Here's some tips
1. Notecards - just write topics to avoid reading.
2. Look up frequently if you must read something.
3. Making eye contact keeps audience engaged, so remember to look left, center, right, center, left, center, & so on.
4. Lastly, practice, & avoid saying "um".
Hope this helps! Love your vids:)
TY. Will use these tips myself.
Sounds like Toast Masters
It's all about practice, practice & practice. The more you do it the better it becomes.
How wonderful to have a Hawthorne in your very own garden! The flowers and berries make lovely wines and jellies and medicinally stabilise blood pressure, and the pieces of wood you cut are wonderful to carve into handles or whatever you like. It is a magical tree. Loved this video, and am always happy when I get a notification that you've a new one out xxx
Hi, Catherine, you're doing everything you should in terms of the public speaking. It's usual to be nervous - you should be concerned when you are no longer nervous because that means you are complacent and your audience will soon figure you out. Good luck with your future radio appearances!
Thanks so much Jo-Anne ❣️
Awww your Alliums are already blooming 🤩
Mine are still pods growing with a few slowly opening just love them
Great job on your tree trimming 😍
Awww love my black cat Angel totally understand how you feel love cats
No your not boring we all love seeing n look forward to your videos such a joy to watch x
I luv gardening and I too stand back to make sure tree is even or branches are going the right way
I love your chatty blogs. Loved tale of the fairies and the tree but when you turned that tool on I just about spit my water out! You looked so powerful! Take that on your next chat on the radio/tv and you will get thru it easy peasy! LOL any word on your book? I'll be one of the first in line to by! You always make me smile and literally laugh out loud! Hope your Mom is feeling better! Stay safe Dainty!💐
To identify flowers trees etc “ Picture this” is a great app. Your garden looks so lovely and those elec. shears are great.
Hi Catherine, I hope you are well; you are an absolute joy to watch. X
The nerves are normal and may not ever go away. I know people who have done public speaking for decades and still get nerves. It is a good sign. Means you are gonna do great!
I want those loppers. I have arthritis but even if I didn't...😍
Boring life? Nah....good life. Thanks for sharing.
Kisses for Pepsi....
I feel your pain with the crop tops and I'm sick of all this Rain,we NEED some Sunshine : ) Those loppers are pure genius. Enjoyed the chatty Vlog .
Most definitely need the sunny days to come back!! xx
"It's better to try and fail rather than fail to try" Love the video!!!! Thank you for sharing with us!
That is very true! ❤️❤️ Thanks for watching xx
Always love a chatty video ❤️
You are not boring!! I love tile shopping and crafting. Seems like a fun day to me 😊 It is a bummer about the resin. Live and learn, right?
You are absolutely lovely ,I love watching and listening to you.😍😇
That is so kind! ❤️ thank you x
You are so fearless and and enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to seeing you both renovation. Sending Pepsi lots of love ( I’m a cat mom too).
Thank you so much that means so much to me ❣️❣️
What a lovely surprise . Love love love your vlogs . You have such a wicked personality that I could watch you doing even the most boring of stuff cos your so funny and entertaining x
Your so kind and I appreciate the support and watching x
Oh Catherine, I had such a giggle when the video speeded up lol. I so love your videos, they really cheer me up, the family look at me like I'm mad with my ear pods laughing away . I hope your mother is feeling better, cant wait for the next instalment. Jane
I'm glad Jane ❤️Thanks for watching xx
I have binge watched your channel in lockdown. I am loving getting the notification of new content. You really inspire me to do more with my rental as gardens and furniture are the main things I can update/decorate. Thank you for your efforts and energy :)
Aw, I really appreciate the support Angela x
Here in the US the resin you’re using can just be tossed into the garbage. I work in a lab where we use resin every day to grind up sections of printed circuit boards. As soon as the bottles are empty they can be tossed. If you end up with extra just pour hardener in it and let it set up, then go ahead and throw it out. Love the video and you aren’t boring by any means! Funny and courageous I’d say!
Fun to watch Catherine. One would never know that you have such anxiety about speaking live. You seems so relaxed on your videos. You did a great job on your tree. Be very careful using resin. That is a target Chemical and can be very unhealthy. It may not show up until later in life so be careful on how often you are around that stuff. Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸
Thanks Catherine for this extra video. Love your sense of humor 💚❤
Thanks for stopping by Cathy xx
Nobody says ‘Jay-sus’ quite like the Irish accent. Loved this video - laughed at ‘dressing like a toddler’ - now worried about geriatric Pepsi...
I loved spotting fairy trees when I was a kid. Last time I visited home my kids thought I was crazy pointing out the trees.
Awwww love it! There is magic in the fairy trees x
Love your chatty vlog! It's ok to fail. At least you tried!
Being an American, I love watching anything you have going. The scent is charming. Sorry about the resin craft, but to be honest I would have done 1 to 1 myself. It makes more sense to me. Oh well. Good lessen learned. Have a wonderful Irish day.
Catherine I absolutely love your vlogs! The longer the better. Mr Carrington introduced me to you a while ago and I find you both so interesting and soothing!
I suffer from anxiety and vertigo among other things. You are so amazing at all you do, you have inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and do more to push my boundaries. If I panic over having to do something or go somewhere I reassure myself I "don't" have to do it but I "want" to do it so that sometimes helps me alittle. Thank you for being you ❤ xxx
Ps sending love to Pepsi
Aw Debbie that is so sweet 💖 I'm so glad to hear that and that you're feeling more reassured 💖 thanks for stopping by xx
@@DaintyDiaries I wouldn't miss any of your posts! I love it when I see dainty diaries ❤ xxx
I have never left a comment before but I just had to this time. You always make me smile, you'so upbeat it's just what I need! From your 'toddler' jumpers to your undies on the rad!! Hilarious!! X
Im glad to hear that ❤️thanks for watching Wendy xx
