I think you mean that you painted the "foundation" of the house. :)
Hercule Poirot would be totally at home on your curved white patio with the round white railings. Very Modernist but crozier than Bauhaus. Love it!
My condo building was a hotel that opened in 1924. When I gutted my kitchen for renovation, I found the drain in the floor under the door that was used for ice and milk deliveries. The door is sealed off but the original ice box is long gone. A couple of neighbors still have the original built in ironing boards and I picture Jeeves and Wooster ironing their news papers. He-he. Great fun using a little imagination. 😄
Safe travels and big fun on your excursion. ❤
I know you, quite rightly, guard your privacy, but would love to hear a video about your youth what lead you to the European courts? Do you have a language major or law background, did you leave Scotland on your own and your fond memories etc. Seems lived quite an exciting, and radical life for a female born in the 60/70s.
I wish I had half of your energy! You're wonderful! Thank you for your videos and cheering us all on!
Love, Love, Love this idea of taking zones and using outside! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!
Diane, love your inspirational videos. I too am Scottish, living in Donegal, Ireland. I am about to start from scratch on this programme, thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. x
"I hope you can see me, because I can't see you." Thanks for the morning LOL with that one!
Have a fantastic time at the music festival. Thank you for the tour of your garden. This year I have divided my garden into areas to work in. I drew a plan of the garden and numbered the areas 1 to 5. I was careful to not give myself too larger zones if the corresponding numbered zone in the house is needing more work. Cutting the grass and dead heading flowers is my garden blessing time.
That is a great idea! I can use this as I already made a chart of my yard and what's in the flower beds. TY. 😀
I love the idea of applying the garden zones ! Makes so much sense and breaks the work down into doable bits. Your beautiful bush with the pink blossoms is called a Weigela bush here in Canada. Pronounced something like ...wi-jel-uh Enjoy the concerts !!
You look beautiful in that outfit. I love stripes...so summery. 🤗 your back yard and house are so beautiful. Enjoy your day and have a wonderful trip 🎶🎵🎼👩🎤
Lovely video. You've put so many beautiful things into my head: words, images. Just think of that. You have shared so much beauty and kindness along with the daily organization plan for living. Funny thing--Denmark has just jumped up off the map for me. I know where it is and so much about it through you (and my own reading) . Forever grateful. Love across the miles
When I saw your "kitchen entrance" I remember what we had here in Canada in the early 50-60's and we called thema "Milk Shoot". Daily milk was delivered thru it...altho no daily bread as you mentioned.
On my home, I call it the foundation. The patina on your copper door is beautiful, what a treasure to have on your home...a real piece of history. Your home/garden/lawn are all beautiful! Have a fun, safe trip.😎🌻
I told DH about a weed♨️ burner. We had not heard of one. Sounds so much better than using a liquid weed killer..never a fan of that stuff!
What a LOVELY tour of your outdoor🏡 space!! It is just as unique as your indoor space! I love the round deck and, well, just everything😊😊 Our Sarah Bernhardt Peony was in bloom for a whole 3-5 days before the rain did it's toll on it, but I did manage to cut a bloom before it lost its' petals:) 🏵
That is a LOT🎨 of painting; you inspire me to get moving on finishing! the kitchen cabinets, baseboards, & quarter round trim.( I am a slow painter!)
Safe 🚈travels to you, and I know you will have 🎶🎸🥁fun.
Hi Julie! Yes, we don't use weed killer - that's very uncommon in Denmark. So usually weeks are hand-pulled or, if they are on paths, etc, I use the burner.
@@DianeinDenmark Hi! Very wise. I can't help but think of those icky liquid chemicals going into the soil. I wish they would not sell it in the US😉
Good morning Diane. I love your garden. It looks so lush. It is nice that you keep the play house. It is a nice touch. I glad you have shared how you have incorporated yard work into the fly lady zone cleaning. It gives me a clearer vision of what I need to do outside. It starts me off. Anywho. Have a wonderful day. Looking forward to hearing about your experience at the concert🖖🏼💕
I think you are referring to the foundation of the house. I love your videos. Keep them coming.
I was going to say, foundation, as well. Since she has a basement, and not a crawlspace, that sounds correct. That would be a lot of work. Go, Diane!!
As always, thank you for your lovely inspirational videos. I find it just amazing all the things that you get done - I’m not there yet! It was fun to see the outside of your house for a change :). Love the copper delivery door! Have an awesome time at the Music Festival!
Well done Diane . You got so much work done in the garden last month Go you . Thanks for continuing to inspire us with your wonderful videos. Being married to a Greek Cypriot for the last 45 years I also think of some words automatically in Greek and sometimes struggle to remember the English word. Lots of love Margaret
You have a beautiful garden, I love how you've kept those original details 😊 Thanks for the great tips as ever! x x x
Thanks for sharing 🌸
I so adore you and your videos. Because of a chronic illness I can’t do what I used to do and often get really down about it. Your sweet spirit keeps me motivated to do what I can and not get discouraged. Thank you, Diane.
Aww, thank you so much, Gail! That's why the Flylady system is so great...we can work on things for 5, 10 or 15 minutes at a time! 🖖😃
Please do any other jewellery video best wishes to you I love your style.
I was waiting for the garden update lol. At the moment I’m still working on the house but will get there.
You are probably talking about your foundation? The bricks that form your basement or the walls that your home is built upon.
Great idea “flyladying” the garden! Watched this and went straight out for 15 mins, really surprised at how much I got done! Will add this into my routine now for the summer. Thanks Diane...from a fellow scot!
Hello, Jennifer!
Huge fan in Michigan!! I love starting my mornings with you! Have a great time at your concert!!
Fan from Michigan, too!
I’m another fan from Michigan!
Peonies are my absolute favorite! I make them often in my papercrafting and they never fail to delight! Yours are stunning! I have no garden because I really have no green thumb at all and the extreme heat here in Central FL really complicates growing things. Perhaps I’ll try something in the Fall, if we get one! 💝🦋
Your garden is beautiful. I’ve adopted the idea of 15 minutes in the garden, too, in large part because it is very hot here right now. Today I’ll trim a bit from the bougainvillea, a never ending task because it grows fast but is very beautiful. Safe travels to the music festival.
Diane, you have given me ideas on how I can apply the Zones for my garden!💡🏡🌳 Have a wonderful time at the concert. Take lots of photos!📸🎫🎸
Love to see your plants - the leaves of your "Queen" bush look very similar to the Philadelphus (Mock Orange) family (possible) and we call Hortensia - Hydrangea. Not sure what the base of the walls are called, possibly just "footings" or "Gravel Boards" like what you can put at the bottom of wooden fences so the panel doesn't sit on damp soil. I know we have a couple or so of harder engineering bricks at the bottom before the regular house bricks. Have a fantastic weekend - I was a David Cassidy (managed to see him at Sheffield when he did a come-back tour in the 80's), David Essex (seen him a number of times) and Queen (never saw live) fan from the 1970's - had pictures stuck up all over my bedroom walls which were purple - very popular colour in the 70's lol!! Lorna
safe travels, have lots of fun and lots of singing and dancing Diane... :)
Thanks so much for reminding us of how to add the garden chores to our list...
Love the green backdrop provided by your garden and your apple trees! Helen xx
We are still mulching the front area. A big job, actually, but we do a bit a day. We are also in the process of painting the garage interior. Enjoy your music trip! We do not have any large trees near us, for a fire barrier must be maintained, but we do have some specimen unusual evergreens planted. Thank you for showing your garden. Elder berries, plums, and cherries grow well here.
I visited the UK last April for the first time and fell in love with Scotland. I LOVED Edinburgh ! I could live there. It was amazing !!! I LOVE that copper delivery door, so precious !!! YOu have a lovely home and garden . tfs 💐💐💐💐 xox from Arizona USA !
Morning....have a great time away, we'll miss you...but I'm revisiting babysteps and on Day 5 so I'll get my daily Pamper with you! I don't know what the bottom part of the wall is called either....bottom part of the wall?! Haha! Going to try your garden zones, and did think that I could also do a WGB...sweep paths and do general weekly upkeep stuff as opposed to the big jobs or detailed work. Your garden looks beautiful, you've done so well....and yet you've not really noticed you were doing it...unbelievable...you are inspiring xx
I think in England we call the bottom 2 or 3 courses of bricks are called the damp proof course , it's where the thin layer of plastic will be to stop the damp rising. We need this in wet countries like England and Scotland. My husband is a builder, I have said to you before Diane. love from a grey England xx
Enjoy your festival Diane! I love your garden it’s beautiful! The flowers are amazing. Xx
I believe that what you are describing was the foundation of the house.... I think.
What a GREAT video! Love your garden zones...that's where I need help and motivation is outside my house. Have a fun trip! Thanks for all you do in cheering us on!
Hi Diane, So glad to hear of your plans. It reminds me of when I was 19 years old and I drove my mom's car from New Jersey to Lenox, Massachusetts to spend a weekend at the Tanglewood music festival (the summer home of the Boston Symphony) all by myself as I knew no one who would want to go to hear Vladimir Askenazy play Beethoven's Emperor Piano Concerto but me!!! I stayed in a lovely old home and paid $5 a night. I sat on the grass and soaked in the beautiful music not realizing that four years later I would go to college and major in Music. I look back and think of how courageous I was and I am proud of myself. You should be too! You have had different successful "careers" in your life and now you cheer on folks from all over the world. Have a great time at the concert and ENJOY!!! Love ya! Mar P.S. I'm also grateful that I have that memory of a perfect weekend. The same to you!
Aww, such lovely memories - they really do keep us going!
The bush is called Linnaea amabilis or Kolkwitzia amabilis and in english it is called beauty bush. I have the same in our garden but I had to google for the name. Have fun at the festival!
I love Bill Bailey. Have fun at your festival! 👍
Diane it's called the foundation in the US.
Thanks, Linda! But it's actually not the foundation...just 🖖the bottom of the house which is painted white (as a contrast to the rest of the house which is stone blasted with colour) so it's easier for upkeep. I'll find the English term soon!
Such a beautiful garden! Have fun at the music festival and keep up posted 🎼🎤💐
Hi Diane!! Hope u r enjoying your time away!!🎵🎶🎙🎹🎸🎤🔊
Can’t wait to hear about your concert!!!!!!
Just discovered you!! What fun! Love your garden and Fly Lady approach! Thank you.
Welcome to the gang, Cindy!
I agree. I think it is the foundation of the house that you are speaking of.
Lovely garden!
Diane, have a lovely time at the music festival. Thanks for all the helpful information, tips and inspiration!! It’s greatly appreciated.
Diane, that dress is so pretty on you! You've made it a lovely garden and I like the outside, zones. Trees need attention like everything else. Tomorrow I'm getting an estimate to have a very tall pine tree removed that was a casualty of ice storms. It will be a great loss as it gave beauty and shade.
Your garden is as lovely as you!!!Love the bread&milk door soo charming!!Have a wonderful trip!!!
Love Bill Bailey too! Great idea! Xx
We call it the foundation of the house here in the US. Your dress looks very beautiful on you! I set zones for my garden. My flower beds are so large that I set them into zones so I could plan it without it seeming overwhelming. Happy Danish Consitution Day! :-)
Very inspiring! I listened to this video while doing some zone work in the kitchen, which I really did not feel like doing, but then I had the idea to listen to you while doing it, and the work was no trouble at all really :). Very inspiring how you adapted the flylady zones to the garden. I sat down straight after the video and made a similar list that applies to my garden and then set of to do the first 15 minutes pulling some weeds from the pavement. Thanks for all you do and have a lovely festival!
Watching your video during my morning coffee has become a part of my morning routine. Your positivity is such a lovely and motivating way to start my day :) Thank you
Good Morning to you!
Enjoyed seeing your beautiful yard and all the unique details.💐🌾🌺 Love that old door. You accomplished a lot outside. We call that area around the bottom of the house the foundation. Happy Father's Day to your husband. Have a wonderful trip!🎶 👋
Great update! So wonderful to see the beautiful garden. Enjoy the music festival.
Your garden is so lovely. The peonies are gorgeous. Have fun at the festival!
Love Bill Bailey. I also have the same problem as you sometimes. I'm an Australian but I've lived in Belgium for 8 years and I sometimes can only come up with a word in Dutch and can't think what it is in English anymore.
Have an amazing time at the concert. Be safe and enjoy...
Underbart att gå igenom din trädgård, fantastiska blommor, härligt Diana, tack för det.🇸🇪💐😏🌸kram Jannike
That was nice!
Good work, Diane! Lovely outdoor space. Thanks for showing us.
Hi Diane, the bush at 14:00 looks like a kolkwitzia to me. The one in my garden looks like a twin of yours, right now it is my favourite lounging place. Such an abundance of flowers....
Yes, that's it! == Linnaea amabilis == Called a "queen bush" (Dronningebusk) in Danish and just saw that it's called a "beauty bush" in English 😍
Great tips!
Hello Diane. Greetings from Croatia!
Such great ideas thank you
Perfect.
Have a good time. I think I have over done it a bit. Heart trying to bring back to normal rhythm. Thanks for uplifting video.
Just wondering re term for area at base of outside wall of house, plinth I think, if that's the area you were painting, where damp course is located and below were any rendering would start; usually done in colours matching window cills., about one foot in depth. Also threshold of front door.
I copied you, Diane and divided the garden in zones as well. It is working quite nicely. I don’t know what the bottom part is called in English, but in Dutch it is called “pui”. Learned a new word in my own language, thanks! 😊
And google thranslate tells me a ‘pui’ is a facade?
That seems wrong: that refers to the whole thing, not the bottom part when it is in a different material or colour. Now I’m confused...
Dianne, I think that the English word that you might have been looking for is the plinth of the house.
Chère Diane, je vous souhaite un délicieux festival !!!
I love your videos and I'm doing my fitness workout.
Thank you, Diane! Such invaluable information. I LOVE being in my garden, but I spend way too much time out there trying to keep up with everything. You have a lovely garden! I love your videos. Thank you for inspiring me.😘
Thank you for the garden tour! Everything looks beautiful! Is the weather in Denmark similar to Scotland? Enjoy your trip and music festival! Will there be any differences in food choices? (Don't know how far you have to travel for the festival)
I have been restaining my deck too.
According to Google translate it is the socket and to my dictionary it is the plinth
Your English lesson for today... Foundation - Footing or base that the structure of a building sits upon. I like your outdoor maintenance plan!
Thanks, Suzi! It's actually not the foundation...just the bottom of the house which is painted white (as a contrast to the rest of the house which is stone blasted with colour) so it's easier for upkeep. I'll keep looking for the English term! LOL!
@@DianeinDenmark maybe just skirting trim? Now you've got ME! 😂 Have a great (and safe) time at the concert!
Have fun at the concert! Very brave of you! (I won‘t have the courage to do this). And I recognize not knowing all the words in my mothertongue (german) about all the babystuff, because I became a mother in the Netherlands and know the Dutch words better. When I speak to my DS18 (always in german) he always answers in dutch. Very frustrating... But with the german family he speaks german because they don’t speak dutch. (when he was younger he spoke german to me when we were on the phone but dutch in person) 😁 Do you speak english or danish with your kids/your DH?
I speak English with the kids (and they reply in English), hubby speaks Danish to them (and they reply in Danish). So whenever we are all together, it's like ping pong! LOL!
@@DianeinDenmark 😂😂 I recognize that! I speak to my DH german, because when we met I didn't speak dutch and he spoke german with me. Since he knows I speak dutch, he speaks dutch to me, but I still speak german to him. So when we out all together the "men" speak dutch and I speak german (exept when we are talking with other people, then I speak dutch, too). I think it's easier to speak in your mothertongue to say it the way you feel. When I speak dutch it's like I don't say it in a "emotional" way (if you know what I mean). And I speak dutch very well (with a little german accent). In the beginning I was afraid to speak dutch because of my accent, so I think this is why I still feel "more free" when I speak german, even if I live here for 20 years now. 🙄
The Plinth
Are you looking for the word "plinth"?
Enjoy your music fest.
Wait, cherries grow on TREES!?
Og god festival, valg dag og fars dag 😊🇩🇰
I lige måde! 😊
What happened to your garden; all the fallen trees behing you?
Hi Sue! I don't know if you heard me saying it in the video but the tree surgeon was here the other day, working on our two apple trees. Hubby and the kids are dealing with the branches which were removed...will take a few days 😃
“Foundation?”
no necklace today>???? :-)
