Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you've had a lovely weekend. Mum and I had so much fun visiting Haworth again. Please see the description box for the rhubarb fool recipe and all relevant links. Miranda x
Donna gazing happily into a bookstore window is pure joy to watch! Thanks for taking us along on your adventure.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your vlogs are becoming my favourite cosy time listening . The aesthetics , books , mum and of course tea and cake are just delightful. Thank you Miranda and mum for keeping us company and bringing us delights to savour and admire .
Thank you so much 😊 That's really lovely of you to say ❤️
Who hits Like even before they've viewed this video? Me!! It's a sure thing!
Just seeing that there is a new post from Miranda is something to "like".
aw, thank you! ❤️
Absolutely!!!
Me😂
It's such a joy to watch 😊
I love you so much, Miranda! There's no one like you on CZcams. You are such an inspiration for reading, cooking, unique lifestyle, just being a better person. I wish I had a friend just like you.
Wish you and your lovely mum all the best and lots of health❤
Your Mum is too adorable ❤ thank you for all your inspiration … beautiful books and music and so much more! … 🙏💥❣️
There's something about the ambience and smell of a secondhand book shop that once you have experienced it you never forget!And forever more you just cannot ignore them!You are enticed in ...just like the choclatiers! Afterwards,when you get the books home, just like chocolate you bought you cannot help yourself being like an excited child waiting in anticipation to open them!
We certainly enjoyed accompanying you both on the day trip to Haworth! Thanks so much for inviting each one of us along with you We've all had a splendid time!!🤗
So true! Chocolate & book shops - the perfect combination 😀📚🍫
Your mom has the sweetest and most welcoming smile!
Loved everything about todays vlog 💐🧚💐
Thanks!
Thank you so very much for your lovely support, Sue! It's very kind of you, and I so appreciate it ❤️
Oh how I love your vlogs. Absolutely super. Haworth is indeed magical.
Thank you so much for your lovely support! So kind of you, and I'm very grateful ❤️
I just love her gracefullness and poise. She is a little fairy! I love her description of books. Her manner of speaking makes you feel timeless. It makes you slow down into bookworld.
What a charming life you lead. Thank you for sharing it with us. The cooking is such a nice addition.
Hello Miranda! So happy to see a video today.
Thanks so much, Melanie! Hope you enjoyed it!
I am very interested to read Reunion. It is usually impossible to pick a favorite portion of your videos, Miranda, there is always so much to love. But the clip of Donna gazing into the Bookshop window particularly resonated with me. It was like a time slip where we were treated to a moment watching her as a young child enchanted by all the wonders before her in the window. The music was the perfect accompaniment. 💕thank you so much for sharing your day with us.
I would definitely buy, even pre-order, a recipe book from you illustrated with your photos, if you ever publish one! ❤
Aw, thanks Nadine! I don't think I'd want to do solely a cookbook, but I'd love to do some kind of book one day! xxx
@@MirandaMills A friend of mine is a writer, journalist and translator. He has also published a book of recipes based on his travels around the world, with his adventures in the corresponding countries (no photos though).
Yes, please. A photo journey of your part of the world with bookstores cozy shopping and recipes would be wonderful! (and would greatly simplify my Christmas list). Do get to work please 😊
I love going along on your trips to beautiful places. Howarth is very pretty. That bookstore was so lovely. But it reminds me that i usually lose my mind when I enter a used bookstore, because I completely forget what authors I'm looking for. Happens every single time. After circling around and around I recover my mind and start looking properly. I also remember I have a little notebook in my purse with my lists. 😂 Love your book finds. Stationary is another thing that sends me. Can't have enough stationary. Thank you Miranda for taking us along. 📚🤗❣️❣️
I always get very over excited in secondhand bookshops too, Diane! Mum and I enjoyed it so much - we could have easily spent another hour in there, and mum apparently had a lovely dream about it that night in which she discovered even more books 😂📚❤️
Miranda I look so forward to your videos each week. This one was so splendid with the quaint village shops. Your adventures are so inspiring that I have become an armchair tourist. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your lovely words! So glad you enjoyed this video 😊💕
A bit late watching this magnificent video. Haworth is amazingly beautiful . Love all the vintage books you and Donna bought. You’re videos get better and better every time you air one for us.... Thanks to your videos, I have found the love for reading and writing again. ❤ 😊
Happy Sunday, Miranda! I loooove your vlogs. Your voice is very calming, perfect for a Sunday evening. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy my vlogs! xxx
Ahhh my serotonin boost for the next few days. Honestly dear, you do wonders to help me take a moment to lower my blood pressure and remember there’s more to me and I have more interests than the demands of my life. Have a wonderful week xx
I'm so glad my video could provide a little respite! Take care of yourself! ❤️
So love your video from the beautiful tulips which caught my eye upon opening it. Book covers are so colorful. Love chocolate. Love bookstores.
Thanks so much, Mary 😊
Hello Miranda, thank you for all the lovely recommendations and the delicious recipe. Good to see Haworth again and to see your book finds from your visit. Have a wonderful week, Teresa ♥️
Thanks so much for your lovely comment and support, Teresa! I so appreciate both. Hope you’ve got a good week ahead too ❤️
💖💖💖 everything! The hot air balloon teacups were so lovely, too!
Oh, I loved the Church mice too! What treasures you found in that bookshop (must admit turning a deep green with envy...)
fabulous☕️
Thank you for taking us along to Haworth. I'd love to have visited the Cabinet of Curiosities. I have just started reading Wintercombe. My kindle says I'm 6% through, so a long way to go, but so much has happened already.
How lovely you are in green. And I am grateful for your videos. They are my oasis of peace and happiness
So thank you 💐
I'm so glad! Thank you 💚
🎯🌺Wow!!Haworth is wonderful.The Bronte Yearbook is stunning.The gift

dessert 🍨 is definitely delicious.Enjoyed
Thanks again & bestwishes.. 💐🌺♾️
Hello Miranda what a coincidence we had a day out Saturday in Haworth, I Am New To Your Channel And Just Love Your Blogs, always Very Informative, I Bought Villette By Charlotte Brontë In The Brontë Shop, We Will Go Have A Look At The Shops Our Next Visit The Book Shop Looks Vey Interesting, Love Your Rhubarb Recipe, Lynn
Lovely video, Miranda. What great finds you got at the bookshop too.
Thank you! Yes, it was a real treasure trove!
A year ago, I lent Reunion to my mom, and it took a LONG time for me to see it again, as it had circulated among all of her reading friends. Definitely a book that begs to be shared! That Emma Bridgewater vase set is so charming. It's always fun and heart warming to tag along on your mother-daughter adventures.
Thank you again for you wonderful support, Pamela! So very kind of you!! I'm so glad you're a fan of Renunion too - it really is the type of book you want to share with everyone! ♥️
Hello Miranda,
I so enjoyed the views of the beautifully fronted shops in Haworth and the views inside the book and chocolate shops. How attractive they are!
I love rhubarb fool! Our rhubarb emerges in April, and you have set my mouth for some in advance. 😀
Thank you for another enjoyable Sunday morning.
So glad you enjoyed this, Debbie! Thank you! ❤️
Very enjoyable Miranda. Thanks.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I feel so lucky to be able to watch you not once, but twice in a week. Your content is always wonderful. The mix of books old and new, the relationship with your mum, fresh flowers, stationary, baking, beautiful outings in picturesque landscapes, afternoon tea, vintage clothing. I love most of these things. (Jigsaws also work well with these things). A combination of an audio book, beautiful landscape, hot cuppa and a pretty jigsaw is always nice when I can find the time. I can honestly say that when I watch your vlogs, I am forever pausing to follow the links for all your fab book recommendations. Thank you for always taking the time to link everything you discuss. Not all CZcamsrs do. Wishing you much success with your channel this year.
Thank you very much, Hayley! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos. Have a lovely start to the week ❤️
Always wanted to visit Haworth. Jane eyre is my favourite book. Love the new Charlotte bronte book. I really like your dress really pretty. Thank you for this video, it has it all.
Thank you very much! ❤️
Love D E Stevenson. The Blue Sapphire is one of my favorites books x
Wonderful video Miranda! Love the 2nd hand bookshop. The Blyth & Grahame books are such treasures! Also love the Bloomsbury-like cushion on your chair ❤️
Every video is so lovely and pleasant to watch. Such a pleasure to spend some time seeing your adventures, your sweet mom, your cooking and the books you enjoy! Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for your lovely words ❤️
Miranda, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
Please keep doing what you do.....so we'll!
Your Mom is such a classy Lady.
It’s a chill Sunday night for me and the notification for your video appears. Here for the aesthetically pleasing vibes and of course, the book recommendations 🔥
Thank you! Stay cosy!
Haworth is just gorgeous... I miss England so much... weather and all, especially in winter when it's scorching here at the bottom of the world! And oh, that chocolate shop had a whole vegan section!!!! The Church Mouse... wonderful find, adore those books!
Hi Miranda, your videos are very much needed, lovely distraction in my life at the moment. Thank you for creating such beautiful videos🫖🌾
I'm so glad you're enjoying them! Take care ❤️
Dear Miranda, your vblog was the perfect ending for the weekend! Thank you for sharing so many wonderful suggestions, just perfect and dreamy ❤️it's a pleasure to follow your work, it's my favourite escapism 🥰📚
Thank you very much for your lovely words and support, Teresa! I’m so grateful ❤️
@@MirandaMills ❤

Another absolute bliss video I loved the book suggestions today! Especially the one about the Bloomsbury period Love it Love it! See you next Thursday Miranda xxx And Donna Always
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this vlog! ❤️
Dear Miranda,
Thank you for this lovely entertaining video. I had a good laugh about "yourselventine"😀 That's exactly what I'm going to have. That bookshop was so stunning, and such lovely books you found there. I am now collecting all your travel tips in a special folder. Also, you always recommend such exceptionally beautiful stationery, thank you so so much! The rhubarb dessert looked devine. Have a lovely week!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Inga - thank you very much! I think 'yourselfentine' has got to be a celebration 😂 Hope you have a lovely week ahead too! ❤️
I am so thrilled to see two videos a week! What a treat! Whenever you show holiday gift ideas or book recommendations I can't resist ordering something. I adore your taste in tea, desserts, books...just everything. Thank you for brightening my week!
Thank you so much! I'm very glad you enjoy my recommendations ❤️
"Just Yourselfentine" 😂 Love it!
I'm excitedly awaiting my copy of The Whispering Muse to arrive soon. Purcell is one of the authors on my automatic pre-order list, I just love a spooky Victorian gothic read. Have a wonderful week, Miranda and Donna!
I'm excited to dive into the new Purcell too! Yourselfentine / Myselfentine definitely needs to become a thing 😂
Your videos are like a warm hug, cosy and gentle, a pure delight. I might just have to,find a copy of that Jane Austen book as it is my favourite book ever. Love to you both
Thank you so much, Gill! ❤️
Hello Miranda! A few vlogs back you recommended A Fine Romance by Susan Branch.. I just received my copy in the mail today and it looks wonderful! Thank you for the great recommendation! I am so glad I recently found your channel! I am really enjoying your lovely videos and you and your mom are so sweet! I have a very hectic life and I look forward to watching your videos as a means of blissful relaxation! Thank you again and I hope you and your mom are having a wonderful week!! 🌸
Wonderful! Happy reading ❤️
My dear! You guessed my thoughts…. Early last week I was reading the book”The Life of Charlotte Bronte” of Elizabeth Gaskell and I thought of you…”wow ..she lives in Yorkshire… it would be so good that she would say something about the city of Haworth…and then you made this beautiful surprise….. in the first scene that you Arron the street with rain, she reminded me of a street in Windsor . I don’t believe in coincidences… I think I thought so deeply that it got to you.Thank you very much for this lovely surprise. Last November I was visiting the United Kingdom and also the dear Hartchard bookstore in London. 💐🥰from Brazil 🇧🇷
I look so forward to your vlogs and book discussion. I am new as of this week to your vlogs but have watched some past ones and totally am entranced. So glad I have found you and your Mom. Thank you🤗
Welcome! So glad you found my channel 😊
Thank you for such a lovely blog. Such lovely recommendations some I have already read but as always such good reads.
Thank you very much, Sue! I'm so glad you enjoyed it ❤️ 📚
Hi Miranda…what a delightful vlog. I love second hand bookstores and it is especially enjoyable to find one while traveling. I will be reading The Wind in the Willows for the first time in March along with E.H.Shepard’s autobiography titled Drawn from Memory (a second hand find). Thank you for this Valentine themed vlog💕
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Glenda, thank you! Great idea to read the Shepard autobiography alongside The Wind in the Willows - I so enjoyed the Slightly Foxed editions of his memoirs! xxx
Hi Miranda, what a delightful vlog, just ordered Reunion and can’t wait to read it. Loved every second of the video, Haworth is such a lovely place and that secondhand bookstore…. Dreamy!! Thank you so very much for this Sunday afternoon escape.❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Monica! I'm so glad you enjoyed the vlog, and I hope you enjoy 'Reunion' too! xxx
Thank you, Miranda!
Thank you so much! Your support is so appreciated ❤️📚🌷
Oh, I love the Church Mice books! They made me laugh so much as a child. I've been trying to tack down a lot of my favorite childhood picture books that I used to get from our library growing up, and was happy to find the first one in that series recently! This was such a lovely cozy video, thank you!
This was delightful viewing for my Sunday evening, so much better than the tv! Haworth village is pretty and fascinating, and I'd be tempted in by the chocolatiers, the curiosities shop and of course the second-hand bookshop - what a treat that was for you and Donna.
My mouth is watering at the thought of the rhubarb fool, it looks delicious.
Thank you very much, Karen! I'm so glad you enjoyed watching. Have a lovely start to the week! xxx
Another lovely video. Loved seeing the beautiful bookshop…I wish that we ones like those around where I live. I also think that the recipe you shared looked delicious…our rhubarb season isn’t until late spring/early summer here so I’ll definitely have to remember the recipe to try at that time.
Miranda, thank you for reminding me about Laura Purcell. I read "The Silent Companions" last year and loved it. I just ordered "The House of Whispers" and I hope it will be as much of a page turner. I love, love, love your green dress!!
I love your videos! So cozy and comforting! Ty!😊
Thanks for all the work you put into these vlogs, they are so enjoyable.
Thank you so much for your lovely support and kind words, Janice! They mean so much ❤️
What a marvellous vlog! I loved all the different parts of it but my favourite one was your trip with your mum to the Brontë's village, simply adorable. My favourite combination: church & vintage bookshop &cosy tea shop. I wish I had gone with you!! The perfect company!!
Thank you, Cristina! So glad you enjoyed it 📚❤️
@@MirandaMills I loved it!!🥰
Hi Miranda and Donna,
I love love Haworth. I have been a Bronte fan since I was a young girl. Haworth is always on my list of places to visit when in Yorkshire. I hope to come over this year and will look out for the bookshop. Bookshops in England are so wonderful!
I have never liked rhubarb but my husband's adores it. I do however love to make a fool as a dessert and wonder if I might like it because the sharpness of the rhubarb is softened by the whipping cream? Our rhubarb season however doesn't start until April.
Have a wonderful week!
Another wonderful vlog Miranda, thank you for sharing your trip to Haworth, it is bringing back some great memories of my visits there many years ago (how little it has changed - and it always seems to be raining!). What a wonderful find of the Ronald Blythe book, definitely one I will be keeping an eye out for!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Jennifer! Thank you! Yes, we always seem to miss the sunshine in Haworth 😂 It must be that brooding Brontë reputation it has to keep up! Xxx
Thank you Miranda, your video's helped me through a cold and dreary January ❤️
Your videos makes me calm and think a lot for my CZcams channel. Such a lovely visit to these beautiful county and streets, you always made me insisting to move to live in UK. For the arts cards, I will choose frames and put them on the walls in my kitchen or my bedroom, they will give the feeling of cottage core vibes. I watch you on a daily basis.
Wonderful gift ideas. Beautiful town and the store fronts would put a smilie on anyones face, even on a rainy day. I was smiling and I was not even there. Thank you for taking us along and I hope you and your Mom enjoyed your simple/lovely dinner and dessert. Have a blessed day and week ahead.
Thank you very much! We really enjoyed it! xxx
Lovely thanks for sharing
I just LOVE your channel. We lived in England in the 90's (Lakenheath) and loved every minute of it. My husband was military at the time so we were stationed there. Watching your channel brings me back to such an amazing time in our lives. This year we are going to visit London to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Keep making videos. I have one suggestion... you need a yorkie! A dog would be just what you need to curl up with while reading a book.
So glad you enjoyed it, thank you! Because we rent we can’t have pets. But I had a dog growing up (a Labrador- love them!) ❤️
Hi Miranda,
I thoroughly enjoyed your wonderful vlog. I loved your trip to Haworth. I remember going their with my parents when I was a teenager & also went with my Husband for one of our anniversaries.
The secondhand bookshop you went to looked lovely, I especially liked your Bronte Yearbook & your Anne Bronte poster.
Thanks again for sharing your journey with us. Xxx
So glad you enjoyed it, Jayne! Thank you! xxx
Your videos are a balm. Thank you so much for such delightful and comforting videos each week! I'm glad I discovered you. 💖
😀💕xx thanks Miranda. Lovely gift ideas.
Another wonderful video - what a fabulous look around Haworth too! I really enjoy your recipes - you make your meals so very civilised! I really look forward to all of your videos. Have a lovely week x
Thank you very much, Sue! It's such an easy and tasty dessert - a real favourite! 😊
I am a big Bronte fan! Wuthering Heights is my 2nd all time favorite book. First being Little Women by L.M. Alcott. I collect copies of W. H. I have a beautiful pictorial book of Howarth, their home (parsonage), and surrounding ding countryside. I'm sure you know they were originally from Ireland. There is a book out about that, that I really want to get! Great video as usual, thanks!
Such an amazing, cosy and beautiful, Vlog❤ I love this kind of videos of yours.❤
Thank you Miranda for the recommendations. I have always been fascinated by Europe between the wars and so just ordered Reunion.
It’s such a great book! The type you want to share & discuss.
I deliberately kept this video to watch on Monday morning to start my week on a good foot because it makes me happy to watch you both visit around town, drink tea, shop for books and eat lovely desserts! 😆 Have a great week! ❤
I just loved this vlog… everything that I enjoy and all beautifully filmed (well done to you as well Donna 🎬🎥💐) ❤
Hello Miranda and Donna. A great BIG thank you Miranda for the book reviews and gift ideas. You are an amazing lady ☘️
Hello Miranda tf bring us along your trip to Haworth what a perfect day to browse books and enjoy cup of tea that cake looked delicious 😋 . .I love the children's illustration books you select (my weakness) those folded out cards were gorgeous my favorite was the floral heart shape one tfs have a wonderful week ahead take care ❤️ 🙋♀️
So glad you enjoyed the video, thank you! I love that card too ❤️
Another wonderful vlog, thank you so much.🙏🏻✨🌟✨
I really enjoyed this. Having visited Haworth I can agree - such an interesting place. I loved the Cabinet Of Curiosities. b I shall definitely make the rhubarb dessert!
Reunion sounds great. Medusa is a great book. Jessie is such a wonderful writer. I need to get to more Purcell. I think I started with the wrong book of hers, Bone China. I love Haworth. Stayed there with friends for a long weekend (actually over a decade) and had the best time. Need to do it again. That bookshop looked amazing. Oooh and a rhubarb fool, rhubarb is one of my favourite flavours. And scents actually. Lovely video as always.
I highly recommend Reunion, Simon! It's an amazing read. 'The Corset' is my favourite Purcell - would recommend starting with that one or 'The Silent Companions.' I'm very excited by all the early forced rhubarb! Can't wait to use it in more recipes!! Have a lovely start to the week xxx
Thank you so much for this, Miranda. You've packed in so much and so beautifully packaged, too! Haworth looks like a fantastic day trip destination - Brontes, books and chocolates. I loved the dream bookshop and all your purchases. Wonderful gift suggestions, too...Have a great week!
Thank you so much, Lindsey! Really pleased you enjoyed it ❤️
Haworth is so beautiful! I want to see inside the Curiosities store desperately!:) Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Dear Miranda Me again! This is actually for Donna I am a cancer survivor too! Eleven years ago Sadly my late father who died some years before I was diagnosed by "it" didn' survive But I did Well I am writing sg personal too! More like a message too Nothing to fear Hope And go on xxx
Everything so lovely as always. So enjoyed seeing your Haworth visit, especially that wonderful bookshop - so many amazing titles of all kinds, definitely the bookshop of dreams! The rhubarb fool must be one of the prettiest desserts I’ve seen. Wonderful gift ideas (I think I want them all for myself!) and love the book recommendations - you have made me want to rush straight out to find a copy of Reunion! I wondered where your beautiful table runner is from, the one in your kitchen with the birds on it? It’s absolutely gorgeous!
I like you your dress! Pretty much your entire wardrobe resonates with me. 🙂
Oh thank you!
I must read Reunion, thank you for the recommendation. I felt the same when I read Every Eye that last paragraph changed the perspective so much x
Hope you enjoy Reunion! I found it such a moving and memorable read ❤️
Another wonderful vlog to lose myself in for awhile!
Dearest Miranda,
What a charming visit to Haworth. As an avid Brontë fan myself, it is to easy to picture the sisters making do with rain and trekking over the moors. The village looks really special and your video diary of such and the parsonage (filmed previously) will serve as armchair travel. I would love to go one day! I love how your mum mentioned the second hand book shop was like something out of her dreams! Can there be any greater heaven? What a lovely find! I was so intrigued to hear your thoughts on “Reunion” and I’m delighted to hear it’s one not to miss. I think I’ll be purchasing it for my father also, incredibly early Father’s Day gifting. As with your delightful recipes, Valentine’s gift guide, I am left feeling cozy and happy!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful adventures with us! ❤️
Thank you so much for this lovely comment, Antoniette! So glad you enjoyed this video and glimpse of Haworth. Hope you like Reunion as much as I did! Have a lovely start to the week xxx
Thank you so much! ❤️
Thanks so much for the special offer on Serious Reader lights. I ordered a light to be shipped to Australia making free shipping most appreciated. Always inspired by your exceptional videos.
Oh wonderful! I hope you enjoy your lovely light, and thank you so much for your lovely support, Paulette! I really appreciate it 😊💕
Lovely video! I really enjoyed the walk around Haworth - I love the Brontes and secondhand bookshops and seeing your book haul was great. Also loved the Valentine gift ideas! Your videos are so well put together.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks very much ❤️
WONDERFUL video - can't get enough of it ❣️
At 11:22 Donna's beaming eyes in front of all the books...ADORABLE. 📚❤️📚
I'm loving the changes that you are making to your content. Definitely going to try that dessert, and I loved the gift ideas you shared. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is also my favourite Bronte novel as well.
Thanks so much, Jacqui! Always fun to hear from other Anne Brontë fans! xxx
Thank you for showing us all the books you purchased in Haworth! I live in Canada so went to the Haworth Parsonage Museum website and ordered the lovely book you got there on sale (and yes, it was on sale online too!). I also added the museum’s souvenir guide to my order. Can’t wait to receive them in the post!
I’m so glad! Enjoy 📚💕
You and your mother are so sweet!!!
Kisses from Greece 🇬🇷
This was such a lovely addition to my Sunday, thank you!!!📚☕❤
I'm so glad! xxx
