  • It's a chatty one! Spend the week with me and bake some sourdough bread, make some jar toppers, and tidy up!
    Day in my life in the Lincolnshire Countryside, early spring slow living, doggy walks, beautiful nature, baking cakes, relaxing music, family life, rainy days, peaceful homemaking, simple living, quiet days, calm your mind, gentle to yourself, crazy cocker spaniel, knitting and crochet.

    Oh goodness me Belinda, just hearing my daughter’s voice telling you how to do sour dough made me chuckle. She’s very special. Thanks for supporting her. Xx

    Sorry about your cycling incident.Where I live its single track roads with alot of bikes and I wish they used bells as I cant hear them behind me, especially when walking our dog. Some are polite and shout morning which I appreciate. I like a good sort out. Your sourdough looked good. Hope you have a good week. X

    Thank you for your gentle vlog while I was doing some quiet bear-knitting. It’s so hard to be a sensitive person in a world where there are a few insensitive people. I think it’s polite when I’m out walking and a cyclist rings their bell to warn me that they are approaching! Otherwise I can get a bit of a fright when they come past. Take care xx❤

    Your sour dough loaf looked delicious. I think we all agree that finding the right lids for our Tupperware is as mysterious as missing sock pairs and yet I still stash all the Tupperware away thinking I’ll sort that next time! 😊

    Hello Belinda
    Another lovely vlog 💕
    Please take care of yourself, sometimes we are too sensitive and we hurt very easily, but remember always to enjoy the little every day things in life to make us happy- wise words from Ali from another CZcamsr in Britain @this little wonderful life ❤

    Lovely vlog Belle, thankyou. Your jar covers turned out lovely. If that path is officially a bicycle path you are so lawful to use it and your bell. That's incredible that someone behaved like that. Please go back to your cycling and use your bell if need be.Your sourdough turned out fantastic. Hugs.

    🥰 this was the best way to spend my morning after a busy week. Thank you!! And I agree about the JOY of bread!! What is it about pulling a fresh sourdough loaf out of the oven that just feels so happy?!?! Your soup & bread looked delicious. Your jar lid toppers are adorable, that crochet cardigan is BEAUTIFUL and your knitting is gorgeous. I want to knit like you one day. 🥰

    Another lovely, comforting video from a lovely lady:) Your bread looked marvelous and i really liked the animals at the farm shop. Try not to let unhappy, mean people dictate to you, I think sounding a bell on a bike is very polite and courteous. As for the little bird in distress, I am exactly the same and try to help where I can. To hear any sentient being in pain is really upsetting ans calls to all our nurturing instincts. I am upset for hours by it.

    I find decluttering helps my mind declutter plus if you no longer get joy from things passing them on means someone else will

    Hi Belinda, Our fields are greening up now but are still full of large puddles, the farmers have not had a good time of it yet this year.
    When I moved last time I sorted out a cupboard full of china and sent it all to the charity shop. I cleared all my low carb flours etc from my larder cupboard on the weekend and I now have an empty shelf to play with.

    Hi Belinda, your sourdough bread looks absolutely amazing! And I do think your pink cardigan is nicer with the shorter sleeves. 😊..... Just a thought about the rude lady with the bicycle incident... Some people are just unhappy people on the inside and their behaviour has really got nothing to do with you at all. Don't stop riding your bike if you enjoy it. Life is just too short, so do what makes you happy 😊🚲💗

    That was a lovely vlog. I am sorry that you had such a bad experience riding your bike, I don’t know why some people feel the need to be mean. The problem is though that when you are a sensitive person things like this are very upsetting. I hope that you can one day face getting back on your bike, people like this shouldn’t stop you from doing something you enjoy. Your sourdough loaf looks fantastic, and that shawl is going to be lovely. I am looking for a shawl pattern to use for two special skeins that I bought on holiday last year.

    Hi Belinda. Things are still a little chilly in Sudbury Ontario for sitting out as well, although I am looking forward to the day when morning coffee outside will be a thing for me. I continue to enjoy your blog and I am always happy when there's a new one posted. Thanks for sharing your endeavors with us. I will have to give sourdough a try.

    Really lovely vlog Belinda. Your Tupperware cupboard made me laugh as I was sharing ( moaning ) at work today about the pain of it and how you cannot find a decent Tupperware that microwave and dishwasher safe without staining ! 😮 I decided to upgrade from the horrible plastic ones to glass with bamboo lids , which don’t like the dishwasher 🙈 so now I have loads of glass bases and no lids as they have fallen apart 🤣 so if you find a solution let me know. I’m too lazy to hand wash 😃🤣.. your bread looked amazing and im definitely inspired , hoping to pop to the farm shop tomorrow for ingredients 🙌… thanks again for a wonderful vlog and hello to your mum 😘 xx
