Hey! Thank you so much for watching this week and sorry for our impromptu hiatus! We needed a little break to recharge after what has been a really rubbish, wet, winter. After what has felt like a real long slog, we're now so grateful to finally see some signs of spring bursting into life and to get our first seeds sown! Can't wait to see how the allotment develops over the next few months. Thanks again for watching and see you soon! Jack and Gabby xx
It was a pleasure to watch this video after your short break, you don't need to apologise for not putting out a video sooner as it's understandable that you needed time to yourself with how the weather has been as it can get you down. Looking forward to seeing your future videos 👍
You should let Tilly have her own fur, then she wouldn't have to wear a sweater. She's a schnauzer and can live without the bells and whistles, perfectly!
I love that you are cutting greens for lunch!! I want to tell you that those stinging nettles are also good to treat allergies and any pain especially arthritis! This is so exciting for me! Someone else who can find delicious food in the wilderness! Another great addition to a salad is red clover, and dandelions, and rose petals. Actually, if you find dandelions - the flower will get rid of a headache! I must stop now. Sometimes I just get excited and can't shut up. 🤷🏼♀️ Love your videos! 💕
Now you need cardboard to lay down over the top of the grass. I follow Charles Dowding a wealth of knowledge on starting a no dig garden. Good luck 💛 gardening
My two favourite smells are fresh bread just as it's come out of the oven and still warm and freshly picked tomatoes. Great to see a new video from you guys, hope you're doing good jack and gabby ❤
Hi, new to your channel. Recommend by Sean Cameron James, tomatoes freshly picked off the vine. I used to have a greenhouse years ago, and you can't beat the smell and taste. Would go so well with a slice of your delicious homebaked bread and butter xxx ❤@thistinylife
Such a pleasure to bask in a little Spring magic! ❤ Jack, we know first hand your cooking is amazing, so we have no doubt this was too 🤤 Favourite smell is fresh laundry 🧺 onions cooking and fresh bread of course 😅 xx Tania
Loved my breadmaker when we were boaters. It even once survived a near sinking disaster when the central line got caught in a lock. It bounced onto the floor and carried on baking!
A good dal is hard to beat - food for both body and soul. I have some wonderful handmade stoneware bowls from John Leach at Muchelney that I always use for dal; the perfect shape and size to cup and cradle in your hand as you eat. Something wonderfully grounding about eating from a bowl in that way...
Buddleia is my favorite smell in the entire world... followed by: rosemary, sage, lavender, primulas; the earthy smell of a garden on a summer's day... and somewhere in there, yes, freshly made bread. 😊❤
Hallo-lovely to see you all, and good to see Tilly well and truly wrapped up at the allotment 🙂 Freshly baked bread is a lovely smell. I think my favourite is basil, reminds me of summer. Have a good week 🤓 x
Lovely to see you all again! Favourite smells are freshly baked bread, tomatoes and basil and the back of my little boy’s neck. Maybe you could try no dig? Freecycle and buy nothing groups are great sources of cardboard and fellow CZcamsrs Stephanie Hafferty and Charles Dowding brilliant inspiration and knowledge on no dig. Happy growing! x
Nice to see you guys again. Like you, I love watching everything come back to life in Spring, my favorite season 🧡 When our strimmer(weedwacker) is out of string, we just have to tap the center part down on the ground, and a new piece comes out.
Lovely to see you all enjoying spring weather and getting out in the allotment. Definitely lifts our spirits after all the rain........ Yes fresh bread has to be at the top of my list too and also home-baked fruit cake.....an old memory of childhood 🙂. Xx
That daal looked so good.Could you give the recipe for your bread, if you haven't already? Love the way you look after Tilly. Great to have a nice spring day to lift the spirits :-)
2 smells…Riding my bike here in so Fl and smelling jasmine as we ride by…energizing!And when it’s cold enough for a fire pit NM pinion wood…memories of childhood and it smells…divine. Cant have a fire without it! Your soup sounds good
Missed your vlogs , nice to see you back . Agree it’s been a long wet winter . I love to walk for miles and everywhere is so muddy . Doing a lot of tow path walking at the minute ,it’s less muddy than fields. Fresh bread smells lovely and the dusty air after a summer downpour x
Ant home baking smells amazing and washing fresh off the line good luck with the seeds hope you get good plants and a strong crop good to you all luvfromus your oldies 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍🥬🌽🥕🥒🫛🙏
Absolute joy in seeing your new video when i got up this morning. I was like a kid in a sweet shop. I had to watch straight away. The rest of the day can wait. 😂
Hi Jack and Gabby, Welcome back, it feels as if it has been a few weeks since your last video. Have the two of you considered creating a booklet, with pictures and descriptions, of the plants along the canals that can be eaten or used medicinally? I am sure that it would sell well especially if you indicated where you found the various plants and how to harvest them/ prepared them. I love the way you have the different videos listed under the heading "Chapters" up above. Mark Alberta, Canada
Fried onions and garlic followed by a freshly roasted chicken, then my daughters fresh breads, those are the smells I love in my house. Oh and old fashioned detox, you know the suntan orange stuff in a bottle
Get digging that allotment. Remove all the grass with roots. Forget raised beds, it will cost you a fortune to fill. Seed potatoes first will help control the ground in the first year.
Just came across you guys, what a beautiful family. I'll be purchasing my first narrowboat in April, and very much appreciate your cooking inspirations!!
It’s commendable all that you do!! 👏🏻Mmmmmm freshly baked bread! I had a bread maker years ago when Katie was little. Wonderful things!!!! Cotton diapers n’all!!! Are you starting your seeds under glass first? Can we see Joubert in your next video please? Yes it’s sunny but chilly here too! I live close to the water so it’s almost always windy! Roll on Summer☀️Love to you’s xxx
Good to see you guys. I have missed your videos. Glad you are back on deck & you are all well. It is Autumn time here in New Zealand. One of my favourite seasons. Glad to see your little garden patch taking shape. My favourite smells are anything baking like bread or hot cross buns, coffee & the smell after the rain hits the ground. Take care & have a good week.
Paused - my favourite smell in the world is cat 🐾 paws! Bury your nose in their pads & it's the most amazing Marie biscuity smell - Tom cats have stinkier but equally beautiful smelling 🐾🐈😸☀️
@@thistinylife Haha, not surprised 😺🙀 Oh that's weird too, not tried a dog ear yet... 😊 Sniff your knees after a day in the sun for another nice one! 😸😸😸
@@sugarpuff2978 I think it's something only people close to their animals would know, my friend's late dog had lovely smelling paws too. A slightly strange but lovely memory. 🤗
Could you set up a tunnel or a tent for shelter and storage? Buiĺd a little fire place than working the garden might be a little more comfortable? I just take over an allotment full of brambles and rubbish and just a footpath access. I am not sure I will keep it. Wish you joy and success!

My favorite smell is freshly ground coffee. Followed closely by fresh baked bread.
Lovely ✨✨
You should let Tilly have her own fur, then she wouldn't have to wear a sweater. She's a schnauzer and can live without the bells and whistles, perfectly!
I love the smell of a washing that has been out on the line, Sunday was gorgeous here 🏴so loads of washing done, smell so lovely.
Oh yes fresh sheets straight off of the clothesline. Especially after a hot sunny day

Loved my breadmaker when we were boaters. It even once survived a near sinking disaster when the central line got caught in a lock. It bounced onto the floor and carried on baking!
Haha impressive!!

Absolute joy in seeing your new video when i got up this morning. I was like a kid in a sweet shop. I had to watch straight away. The rest of the day can wait. 😂
Have the same bread maker and have made lots of loaves and love the smell along with my morning coffee made by my husband. The best.
Fresh Ground Coffee ~ But I live on Bainbridge Island across from Seattle 💕
Your comment reminded me of the smell of my Grandma's tea loaf, when it was just coming out of the cooker >WOW 😊
Hi Jack and Gabby,
Welcome back, it feels as if it has been a few weeks since your last video. Have the two of you considered creating a booklet, with pictures and descriptions, of the plants along the canals that can be eaten or used medicinally? I am sure that it would sell well especially if you indicated where you found the various plants and how to harvest them/ prepared them.
I love the way you have the different videos listed under the heading "Chapters" up above.

My favorite smell is orange blossom's
Fried onions and garlic followed by a freshly roasted chicken, then my daughters fresh breads, those are the smells I love in my house. Oh and old fashioned detox, you know the suntan orange stuff in a bottle
Ahh, so nice to see you guys, bless you! Hopefully things will feel a little lighter for you now is here. Love and blessings 🙏🌻🌷🪻⚘️🌝
Thank you 🥰
Favourite smell in all the world? Fresh baked bread every time!
Agreed!
You may think this strange but tar is my favourite smell.
Yes fresh bread and chili cooking
Really nice to see your vlogs back, hope you're all doing well.😊
Thank you! We're all well ✨ hope you are!
When you make your raised beds there's a wood reclaim yard in wood reclaim yard in abingdon deffo worth a look keep up great vids
Get digging that allotment. Remove all the grass with roots. Forget raised beds, it will cost you a fortune to fill. Seed potatoes first will help control the ground in the first year.
We have been doing quite a bit of weighing up the options - who knew soil was so expensive!!
Bread is the best smell
Just came across you guys, what a beautiful family. I'll be purchasing my first narrowboat in April, and very much appreciate your cooking inspirations!!
You guys could try slow cooker bread. 2 hours on high does proving and baking in one go. Uses less energy than a bread maker!
Toss up between the ozone layer smell after rain, chocolate (but specific chocolate like cadbury mini eggs) or bread.
Fresh baked bread 😊
I have 3 favourite smells, Bread, coffee and curry smell. 😂
Here,s to a lovely spring and summer❤👍🙂vlog
☀️☀️
How lovely to see you I have missed you.❤😊

Just a longer than intended break!! Lovely to be back, thank you 🥰🥰
❤ great to see you back just love your vlogs
Great news, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your vlogs
Thank you ✨✨
So lovely to have you back I've missed you so been good to catch up xx

Paused - my favourite smell in the world is cat 🐾 paws! Bury your nose in their pads & it's the most amazing Marie biscuity smell - Tom cats have stinkier but equally beautiful smelling 🐾🐈😸☀️
Ah not a response we were expecting 😅 Tilly's ear is another gross but weirdly lovely smell 😅
@@thistinylife Haha, not surprised 😺🙀
Oh that's weird too, not tried a dog ear yet... 😊
Sniff your knees after a day in the sun for another nice one!
😸😸😸
I used to like the smell of my late dogs paws.
@@sugarpuff2978 I think it's something only people close to their animals would know, my friend's late dog had lovely smelling paws too. A slightly strange but lovely memory. 🤗
In winter, woodsmoke . In summer honeysuckle in the evening.
Lovely seasonal smells!
Jasmine is my favourite smell , it’s like catnip to me 😍😂
My favorite is freshly cut grass🌱
my fave smell is cookies that have just been baked or fresh coffee on the stove.
Thanks
🙏🙏
Could you set up a tunnel or a tent for shelter and storage?
Buiĺd a little fire place than working the garden might be a little more comfortable?
I just take over an allotment full of brambles and rubbish and just a footpath access.
I am not sure I will keep it. Wish you joy and success!
We do have a shed luckily, but definitely going to sort some kind of seating and firepit area... We'll get there!
