I understand where your coming from on the menopausal weight gain. I was there a year ago. I have managed to lose over 2 stone and feel like a new stronger me. I did have to change the way I ate and exercised though. No more high intensity cardio and more focus on weights and walking. It is definitely doable and it's not as difficult as you might think. Just needed to be consistent. Good luck on your journey.

You have a very soothing voice. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

That's the trouble with lovely places, they attract the tourists 🤣. It looks like you got the best meal of all of your options...and in the comfort of your own home as well. Lovely visiting with you again, as always 🥰

The flower arrangements look so pretty, the food looks delicious, thanks for sharing this wonderful vlog ❤

Such beautiful scenery!!

We might be having an inadvertent no-mow-rest-of-the-summer because I broke the lawnmower a week or so ago 😂.Let's just say, I'm not in a rush to replace it! Lovely video...thank you! xo

Hi Sadie, I thought you did a magnificent job with the felt cat. It doesn’t look easy! Although, I loved when kitty head looked like Chewie… I’ve always been a super Star Wars fan! Henry looks handsome as ever. Blessings and hugs 🥰

Such a lovely part of the UK. No mow May continues here, although we've mowed a path through a part of the lawn. It's definitely starting to look a bit wild!!

Nice vlog & a lovely garden ❤

I adore December and January, in fact all the Autumn and Winter months are to be cherished for me. x

My first time seeing white lavender. Does it smell the same? Your food always looks yummy. Somehow reminds me of Christmas 🎄 and I'm counting down. Love your videos ❤

You always get the most yummy-looking food! That wedge of chocolate cake looked delish...as did the quiche! Oh and the price of that rose was outrageous (I did a quick currency exchange in my head and that's almost $60 !?!) ye gods! Even for a David Austin that seems pricey. I order bare-root ones from DA and even with shipping from the US they're not quite that much. They are lovely, though... xo

The start of this vlog really reminded me of your old blog 'A Life in The English Rain' and Henry looked so cosy in the basket - even more adorable when he jumped in just to make sure Pixel knew it is his house! Great tour of Suffolk and you do live in such a beautiful part of the world. I hope Bill and Violet enjoyed the concert - it looked great! Love, Parveen xxx

Seems you had a wonderful day! Thanks for sharing ❤

The perfect Saturday! That quiche looked delicious, lovely wobbly egg filling xx

Delicious looking quiche! We have a Notcutts near us - I find their plants very expensive though, but their other bits & bobs are very nice.

Bonjour Sadie, Thank you for a lovely video. I very much enjoy visiting England or your part of the country with you as a guide. That cheese looked so delicious and sinful. I very much enjoy english cheeses; we have some sold here in Quebec and the blues and cheddars are my favourite. See you soon:)

Enjoyed every bit of your video! Looking forward to next time!

Thank you Sadie for another lovely upload with lovely Henry. I thought your felting effort was much better than the example on the box. I once bought a felting kit but the instructions left me scratching my head so it ended up being donated. Glad that Violet is making the most of her break and had a lovely trip up to London. Parveen xx

Lovely vlog & interesting crafting. Thanks for sharing ❤

lol aww I liked the cat it was vey cute ❤❤❤

Sadie thank you! I have just discovered your channel due to having a little more time on my hands that usual, I find them so calming and a delight to watch, thank you for such beautiful content. ❤

Hi Sadie, from a totally rainsoaked and stormy north Italy!!! Weather atrocious, just like the UK. I loved your efforts with felting, as someone mentioned you could hang him on your Christmas tree. Love your videos they really cheer up a gloomy summer. Have a good week. Hugs Ro (n.w. italy)

Gosh, that was a big seagull, wasn't it? I quite like your little felted cat -- he has a lot of character! Not as much as Henry Cat, of course. I'm so impressed with your Christmas/birthday organization...I really must do better! xo

Good morning, I have kept a patch of the lawn going wild and I also see different wildflowers and grasses. I believe the purple flowers are ''self heal'' A tea from the flowers can soothe a sore throat.

I love your hand felted cat! You could hang it on your Christmas tree. We have a couple of black felted labradors that I hang on the tree- not made by me though, they were in the EB sale. No mow may also continues here - I'm attempting to re-wild the garden & so far we've got lots of pretty things coming up.

I admire your efforts with the felted cat! I’d just like to know who sat down one day and dreamed up such a craft!!

Thank you for capturing and sharing your ordinary British life for us Anglophiles to enjoy, Sadie. Extra points earned for featuring adorable Henry and neighborly Tiger. 🐈‍⬛️🐈

Loving ur vlogs - small dogs also sit on the bedding on the floor lol 🐕☕🍓🥨

Such a happy, lovely vlog. I do so enjoy them. Thank you Sadie....😊 (Ro, n.w.italy)

I'm guilty of stashing pottery, not using it in case I break it! Add to this, a load of pottery just inherited from MIL, which I've stashed. Your breakfast looked delicious!

i've never seen the point of having 'best dishes' - which is to say, ones you never use. My mother-in-law tried to give me a whole set when she was downsizing and I wouldn't have them 😆 My mum has cupboards full of the stuff that she got when she and my dad were married and I don't think any of it has ever been used - and they've been married over 50 years! Now, give me a set of Denby and I'll be quite happy to use that for my morning toast.😉. What a lovely flower arrangement you made - you're so clever - it turned out beautifully. Thank you for all the Henry-cat content...always a delight! 🥰

What a yummy vlog! All of it looked so delicious, and that floral arrangement was just perfect, and from your own garden. I totally agree about using the fancy things, it helps romanticize an ordinary moment too. Ok…off to get something to eat now lol!!!😋

Love love your content. Thank you for sharing and please continue; I have a smile every time I see that you've uploaded a video. I"am canadian and a huge anglophile. I love traditions; they make us grounded I think. Could you help us with a recipe for Eton mess.?

What a lovely video of cookbooks, garden and more books and magazine. The life I can relate to; late 40s, menopausal, trying to loose weight, and likes anything sweet with cinnamon. Thank you for sharing! Cheers!

Sadie your videos are always full of lovely things, and Henry Cat is the best way to start any video. I cannot believe how reasonably priced the Spode bits are. Hope you are all enjoying a more relaxed time (if A levels have finished) and have a wonderful week. Parveenxxx.

Happy (very belated) birthday to Violet! I remember your balloon arches from when you had your blog..that's quite a long-standing tradition....the stuff that memories are made of. :) xo

I'll happily send you some of our weather...it was 37C at 5:30am this morning with the 'feels like' allowance. Absolutely horrid. I do so love your vlogs, Sadie...thank you for sharing your lovely life. xo

ooh!! I've got a couple of videos to catch up on - a perfect accompaniment my Sunday morning cup of tea! I love that blue pattern Spode - so lovely. I especially love your no-mow garden...*sigh*...I wish we had something like that over here. I might be tempted to do it on my own next year -- that'll really send our neighbours 'round the bend! They already must be in anguish over my 'wild edges' and abundant dandelion crop :D. xo

Your videos always feel like a chat with a friend 💛 I grew up in the generation that watched Bridget Jones and Love Actually. There was a lot of toxicity in the 90s on Women's body size. Perfectly healthy women oddly thinking they were overweight... Hope you achieve your goal, for the right reasons.

I was so happy to see another video from you this week. I just love your style and your purchases :) :). Good luck with your salads; if they all look as good as the one you showed us, you're in clover (as we say here).

Your yard must smell heavenly with all the roses 🌹 ❤ Another “scrummy” video, thank you 🙏 Sadie. Your vlogs are such a blessing to me. We had a bit of hail the other day, too. Quite a bit of rain has fallen here, so far, which is fantastic. Most of Alberta has been suffering in drought conditions for several years 👍

I loved cabana. Your macaroons look very nice x

Happy birthday, Violet! Your day looked wonderful, just cannot believe you’re 18 🎉👍😀 Sadie, the balloons looked lovely. I’m glad you showed the tide when you were at lunch. Quite fascinating to this ol’ prairie province gal lol. I may have to search for a pretty summertime strawberry cup, too. Perfect summer mug!
