    Hello Angela, thank you so much for taking me on your wonderful walk. A few minutes walking with you in my beloved England. I watched an older video where you talk about your fears and the loss of your beloved dog. It hurts so much to lose a beloved animal:((. Our dog was like my third child to me and it still hurts after many years. I can understand that so well. I too have always struggled with fears. I did a year-long mindfulness academy last year. It really helped me to react a little less in difficult situations. Meditation, which takes a while to work, also helps. And be grateful every day is so important. Please don't struggle with your weight. Enjoy something that is good for your soul:). We're having a difficult time at the moment because my husband has been diagnosed with a suspicious finding. We have to get through this until a biopsy is taken at the end of February . It is a long time to wait and brings a lot of anxiety that you have to deal with. The new blouse looks very pretty:). I'm sure it suits you very well and has a spring pattern. It's been snowing here and it's also nice to go for a walk in the snow. And with sunshine, it's a wonderful landscape. I'm looking forward to your next video. I wish you all the best and have a lovely day. Gabi ❤

      Dear Gabi, thank you as always for your lovely support and kindness to me, I appreciate you so much.
      I’m so sorry to hear you have some worrying news to deal with, I’m hoping the appointment comes fast and that all will be very well 🙏🤗 (please do let me know in due course) you sound as though you’ve learnt ways to deal with stress/anxiety so that is wonderful.
      Your walks sound beautiful too, especially with the snow ❄️
      I’m sending you a warm hug and positive thoughts, I hope you and your husband have a relaxing weekend 🥰

    I found it so peaceful , much nicer than someone trying to explain which breaks the mood is the natural birdsong or quiet music. I’m nervous of trying to sell online with so many scammers about. Your blouse looked so pretty. Thanks for sharing the beautiful sunrise , not been too many of those for a while.

    Thank you for this lovely video. I’m in love with your cottage ❤. January can feel overwhelming, I agree. Therefore I now think of it as a month of contemplation, rest, nourishing my body and feed my mind and soul with good books. And although I have to go to work and everything, it works for me. And then, in February of early March, as Spring will start to arrive, there will be a new kind of energy.

There is such a lot to do, I agree I feel overwhelmed a bit… it’s also a busy month as my children share a birthday, so they’re about to turn 18 & 21 on the same day so I’m trying to organise gifts and a weekend away… I’m also considering baking a cake 😂🫣🫣

    Hi Angela, A Happy New Year to you too. I have been watching all your video’s I have enjoyed them so much. I was so sorry to hear you lost your precious dog, and when you were walking today it must be so hard not having him with you. So difficult losing our furry companions, my cat was 21 yrs old and I still miss him every day, big hug to you 🤗. Yes decluttering! Did a lot last year so need plenty of motivation to start again ! Yes I too am a Spring Gal! Struggle with darkness of winter, but seeing the sunrise you captured helped, I am in the South West Uk and at least now it is colder and brighter and not so wet! Hope to see you soon, take care, Suze. 🤗

    • @hideawaycottage
      @hideawaycottage  10 місяців тому

      I honestly think losing a beloved pet is so hard, some days are easier and then all of a sudden it hits you 🥲 you’re right, out walking doesn’t feel the same without him…but Spring is not too far away and it is my favourite time of the year so lots to look forward to 🌸 wishing you a relaxing weekend 🥰

    You have beautiful countryside surrounding you. Good idea with the faux flowers. I can't move my clothes in the wardrobe as they're so tightly packed, so it's definitely time to declutter. Most of my clothes are from charity shops, so don't mind moving them on after a while. More vids please.😊

    • @hideawaycottage

    Angela, Even in January the English countryside is so beautiful. I just learned about the Vinted ebay in Britain (no fees to sell pre-owned things!) I wish we had that here in the U.S. I enjoyed seeing your post office - all automated - so modern. I wish spring wasn't so late here, where I live. We don't even have daffodils yet and it's April 23rd! Hopefully your spring is just around the corner. I do so enjoy your videos. Thank you for doing them. Suzi

      Hey Suze! I hope by now you’re into Spring weather, it’s been amazing here for the last few days, everything in the garden is starting to bloom, roses, foxgloves, wisteria, and soon the peonies! Such a lovely time 🪴🌿🌸 yes, Vinted is a great way to motivate decluttering, funnily enough I’ve got some pieces to upload this week… I heard that eBay are getting rid of their sellers fees for clothes..? Not sure whether that’s in the US too….? Wishing you wonderful week ahead x x

    Thank you for sharing once again. You say it’s bitterly cold & yet everything is so green! I realize that’s due to England’s humidity. I live in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains of western Canada. A couple nights ago we hit -40C. That’s cold! It’s deceptive though because it’s dry which makes it easier to dress for & it doesn’t seem to creep into your bones. We have blue sky & sunshine, lots of snow cover all winter, but the only green is the evergreen trees. I won’t see any green in my garden until April. That’s why I love to visit you here. ❤ Thank you for giving a much appreciated gift of green. 🌳🌱🌿

      Hello 👋 thank you so much 😊 I really appreciate you being here, I definitely think I need to try and be “on camera” more, I’m so self conscious, I really need to work on it, I will try for sure! 🥰

      @@hideawaycottage trust me, i can relate. I don't even let my friends or family take my picture anymore. I don't know when I got so self conscience ... but the struggle is real.
