Agree about learning a lot from the US homesteaders, but so little from here in the UK. Glad I found your channel I live on 3 acres in Scotland so have the advantage of a bit of land but the disadvantage of a shorter growing season. Moved from London to Scotland 31 years ago , but here in this property 18mths. The garden is coming on (had nothing to start), we have chickens and soon to get geese. Do a lot of preserving and medicinal herbs. But still SO much to do. Good to have others to share their journey

So good to know that two 'down to earth' people have the enthusiasm to pass on the joy of taking control of their lives. I am in the slow process too. I have a two up, two down terraced house but I am determined to live my self sufficient dream too. Can't wait for more videos

Thank you! We are doing the little bits we can while working within the confines of our small house/tiny garden and full time jobs! The allotment is a dream come true but we've got bigger plans too!😊 Thank you for watching x

Congrats on getting an allotment. I make my own laundry liquid ( more like jelly😄), Dandelion honey, jams etc. We all need to. " get back to the garden" to quote the song.

Lovely lady lol, that’s me!!!! Well I guess it’s me because I didn’t see anyone else up there haha, I’m glad you learnt something today, I’m not sure what as I can gabble for Britain, it’s was so lovely to get to know the real you, you also have my dream but it looks like you may get there a year or so before us, save me a space, and strangely enough you have the same animals on your list as us!!!! I’m so looking forward to seeing the wedding photos, so exciting and what a wonderful thing to do, see you in the week maybe, great video, x

Thank you for sharing this, ADHD isn’t talked about enough and neither is the Good Life now you mention it 😅 You have given me so much inspo. This was so refreshingly comfortable to watch, sieving the soil 😍 Might need your expertise on an Apothecary actually, I’m a newbie but trying, take care 🫶 xx

love your ideas , think we are out of the same pod . Always wanted to build my own straw bale house on my own land and have animals and grow all my own food . But like you i have an allotment and i want to grow everything including mugwort and other fragrant plants to make dream pillows and sell at the local market .Good luck and enjoy the journey .

Thank you!💕 It's our dream and we are working really hard to get there! I'd actually LOVE to build a strawbale house!! Timber framed with a big open fire place and a range in the kitchen. Freestanding bath in bathroom and run the whole thing off of solar and wind! One day that will be a reality!😅 We'll both keep dreaming and see who gets there first!😁
