- Slow living and simple living can benefit us all - especially at this time of year. Winter months can be so busy, especially with the various holidays. We've all seen the news footage of the Black Friday sales - where materialism is king and it's all about getting there first and grabbing all you can. This often continues through to Christmas and then on to the January sales. Christmas can be hectic, manic even. Ask yourself this... do you enjoy the stress of Christmas? The pressures to buy in excess maybe? Or putting on a food spread fit for a king? Ask yourself, is this the Christmas I actually want?
There are other options. First, take a look at what elements you want to change. Don't just get caught up in the 'manic panic' - you'll blink and Christmas will be over and you'll wonder where the days went. When you slow down and focus on the small things, you realise how much you already have. You really don't need to waste money or time, especially time... it's the most important thing you have. So spend it wisely. Enjoy this time of year with your family and friends, focus on conversations, simple thoughtful gifts, and keep your menu small but delicious. Break out from what is 'expected' - that's not for you... you decide what is important and curate your own winter months.
I like to focus on family, little experiences with my girls, quality time with my husband, researching gifts and buying only after careful thought and when I know it's right. Planning simple homemade food from saved recipes we love and noticing things as if I was a child filled with curiosity. When you simplify your schedule, and your lifestyle, your distractions are reduced and you can spend time on the things you prefer and also see the beauty in everyday items and tasks. A simple life, is a slower life.
I hope you enjoy this vlog with me and my little family. It hopefully gives you a snapshot into our slow family living and English village life.

England is so beautiful!
It really is, I'm a bit biased lol
Hope there'll be a time where you can come visit! :)
Yorkshire is, especially. There's a reason it's called God's Own Country.

England was my favorite place to go to hopefully. Your vlogs are relaxing. Hope for more video of you. 😊

"Christmas farmers" instead of gingerbread men, I love that :)
She's a little comic x
What a blessing to live in such beautiful scenery....admiring from across the pond. ❤
Thank you so much, it really is a beautiful area xx
Just found your video, beautiful so relaxing! Watching from Egypt where the scenery is very different. I'm originally from England so it's lovely to see the beautiful countryside and a gentle way of life, thank you. I have subscribed!!!

What did you think to the Currywurst ;) 🇩🇪
@@ApronfulofStones looked delicious😊 Once in a while I eat it with a beef sausage, but I never did it myself. Your videos are lovely, I subscribed. I wish you lots of health and success😊
What a truly beautiful channel, felt so relaxed after watching this. Thank you ❤️
Thank you Sarah x
So relaxing, love all of the cozy shots by the fire! You have a wonderful filmmaking talent :)

@@ApronfulofStones I feel that! It's been getting quite cold recently where I'm at too❄️ Hope you can stay warm!
This is so beautiful 🌷🍁
We use sweet italian sausage in a tomato sauce and grill sweet onions and bell peppers to put on top and eat it on a roll. Your girls are sweet. Love seeing you let them help bake with you.
Wonderland magic
I love that term... I want to create magic ;)
I'm a relatively new subscriber. Thank you for your wonderful videos. Happy New Year!
Thank you Jo, so glad to have you here xx
Beautiful, simply beautiful! My husband is ex army and would love the currywurst so I will try your recipe. Thank You.
Thank you Leigh! Oh the currywurst is so yum, do give it a try! x
Such a pleasant video, I’m so inspired to start our own country footage when we move in 2021. Happy New Year!
Oh yes do! It's hard work but very satisfying. Your brain will be buzzing with ideas x
Did I really overlook this one a year ago? So relaxing and calming to watch. More please? 😊
So beautiful, greetings from Germany 😙
Thank you so much Katharina x
Very relaxing and a yummy recipe I will try! Joyous New Year from, Maine in the US!
Hi Beckie I'm glad you found it relaxing. Right now it's 2021 here but still 2020 where you are... we're a year apart lol 😆
Lovely scenery!!! Just a gentle reminder that bread is really bad for little ducks. They much prefer cut up grapes. 🥰🦆
We were feeding them oats :)
@@ApronfulofStones I saw you were feeding them oats.....diffinatly not bread....
That's why there was so much on the floor lol - the girls can't throw it very far :)
The type of videos I’ve been looking to find but never knew how to look! 😭🙌🏻 🕊
Oh I'm so glad you found me x
Love your videos 💕
So very soothing 🙏🙏💕💕 Merry Christmas and happy New year xx
Thanks 😊 and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours x
We live in the USA. My husband and I live rural and live a slow life. My family are from Manchester, Sheffield and Cornwall England. My grandfather made his own line of guitars in Manchester. I only went once to England but it left quite an impression on me. It was quite beautiful. I was born in the US but always felt as if I belonged in England. Funny that.... Beautiful video and love the piano music. A link to the music would be great!! Blessings and Happy New Year from across the pond!! 🥀
Hope you can visit England again soon. It can really be beautiful. I'm in London and life has certainly slowed down a little this year which I am immensely grateful for. :)
I'm not too far from Sheffield :) x
Love your vlogs :) hope some day i can find this peace in life
Little steps down the peaceful path... and bit by bit you will bring peace x
Currywurst yes please!! Lovely channel.
Yum yum 😋
Just make homemade sugar cookies with my little grandson...so fun! Merry Christmas to you all and looks like your lil ones are enjoying the holidays
Have a wonderful Christmas x
