  • In my latest video, I'm sharing a cosy Christmassy Sunday with you. Mum and I went for a beautiful winter walk at the RHS Garden, Harlow Carr, then made mulled punch back at home and wrote Christmas cards. What festive fun have you been up to lately?

    Hello Miranda and Donna 👋🏾...I love your videos so much...when I’m dead on my feet at the end of the day, your videos revive me.( nature, bookstores, warm drinks, cozy fire every cozy element is covered)...I usually just give Christmas Cards with typical Generic Christmas scenes , I’ve never thought about my favorite artist...you gave me an idea I love the artist Jane Wooster Scott and Bonnie White(I do their jigsaw puzzles) and it would be so great if they have Christmas Cards..I don’t know but I’m going to check..😊🥰

    Even with a cold and drizzly start, I don’t think you can beat a walk out into the English countryside. Loved all the baubles in the gift shop 😍
    Your punch looked soooo delicious, great tip from your mum with the spoon, I did crack a glass once, will definitely be adding a teaspoon from here on in 🤣
    I do love a card, they make great pictures too, I frame all my particularly special ones and hang them round the house 🥰
    Hope the book is as great a read as it looks, what a lush cover ☺️
