A Countryside Adventure + HOME RENO UPDATES!

[@OMGitsaClaire]

That foraging class looks like fun! I work outside here in the US so I’ve learned a lot about our edible flora. Right now is American persimmon and black walnut season. My coworker and I plan to go harvest some American persimmons tomorrow and I have my eye on making a very old fashioned recipe for a persimmon pudding.

The kitchen looks amazing! ~ so fresh and bright, and I love the natural colours. Your new windows in the period style make all the difference...much more homely and fitting for the period of the house, and they'll keep you warmer through the Winter. It may sometimes seem slow with these projects, but lovely old traditional built houses have a habit of throwing up issues that demand bespoke solutions that take a lot of time to get right. I'd love to see a kitchen completion celebration when it's finished! x

Wow, nice to see your visit to Bantham. It is a lovely place especially when we get some good surf. I love watching the swans float about in the estuary up the river near the boathouse and yes, floating down the river is fun on a calm day. The trip that you went on looked very full on and arranged with activities. It was nice to see you taking some time out to chill out when you needed to. Hope you had a chance to visit Totnes, my home town, love it! You looked really happy to get back home and the kitchen is looking beautiful. It is all coming together

[@nicandtris]

Love Totnes! Worked there for 6 years. Good times :)

[@phyliciajoykloes]

Wow, such an interesting tour. Learning more about plants is lovely. Thank you for sharing.

[@glynnL]

Hi Maddie and Alex so far your kitchen looks amazing. It looks like you two had a fun adventure thanks for sharing❤

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Thanks so much!

[@JoJo-np8fn]

Swooshing in Bantham is going on the list for things to do locally! The Cornish seaweed company is good for dulce and also various salt with seaweed flakes in.

[@MadeleineOlivia]

It was so fun! Definitely going to be buying some bits from Cornish seaweed company

[@lisalecocq658]

Holy crap! Your kitchen is a dream! Congratulations!

[@davidthescottishvegan]

It was a interesting video seeing Madeleine & Alex eating nettle seeds. I knew you could eat the leaves and make nettle tea and they also make a great plant food for your garden. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕❤Madeleine and Alex. Have a fantastic week and stay safe and well.

[@hannahandrainn]

I'd really love to know which mushrooms can be eaten especially at the moment. What a wonderful thing to do you guys! I also live in Cornwall and would love this!

[@PaulaJoW]

The kitchen is really shaping up. A ton of work, but well worth it! I'm doing home renos on an old house right now and am really looking forward to getting back to normal living. Will the garage roof have skylights?

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Yes we have three velux windows!

[@revonda5204]

Good to see an update on your home! Amazing!

Loving seeing the joy you feel and show 💞

[@MissZebule]

Just wanted to say, I've been following you for a while now (from France :)), I was a student, now I have a little boy and another baby coming and your most recent videos have definitely made me think that when we'll be able to travel with them, I want to go to Cornwall!!

[@jennyjohnson9012]

Lovely interesting video! You keep bringing back memories for me. Staying nr Bantham and going over to Burgh Island when we were kids. The weather always seemed so sunny then lol. The kitchen is looking fabulous. Love being part of your journey x

[@meeralakshmanan7190]

The retreat looks so fun 😀❤️!! I'd love to do that sometime!!

[@meganhamlyn1694]

Dulse is very popular/common in East Coast Canada…yum!!!

The kitchen is looking so great! Are you going to paint the inside of the old chimney where the AGA is?

[@nilakshiroy6]

Waiting to see the kitchen dressed up and food videos shot in it !

[@MadeleineOlivia]

I cannot wait! Dream kitchen incoming!

Great upload from you!

[@marly-paigepetersen]

Any updates on the kitchen tap?

[@MadeleineOlivia]

We are returning it! Totally broken 😩

[@marly-paigepetersen]

@@MadeleineOlivia sorry to hear it really was a elegant looking fitting.

[@verrepapillon]

Who was your foraging guide? Sounded really great! Loved this video :) kitchen is looking beautiful so far!

[@sonyafby]

Paint that pantry(?) door to the left of the window a dusky pale pink!

[@niamhmcgann8843]

Love these videos 🥰🙌

[@thindarella]

Ah I just got my period today so I can totally imagine how you felt that day 💜 May I ask where that orange padded jacket is from? 🌸🥰

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Awww yeah it hurts sometimes doesn’t it! It’s from finisterre

[@user-gv9mh1rq4j]

Lovely vlog 🥰 can I ask where your yellow puffer jacket is from?

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Finisterre 😁

The kitchen looks lovely and fresh 👍 Not so sure about the retreat though, it appears to be activities you can do for free yourself, and i imagine guests have to pay a fair price to do this. It looked a little fake to me tbh.

[@MadeleineOlivia]

It was a gifted retreat for influencers/content creators/journalists at the vivobarefoot headquarters in Devon. We didn’t pay for it! It was great fun and felt so excited to have been invited by vivobarefoot

Random comment but the guy playing guitar looks like Pewdiepie 🙈

[@MadeleineOlivia]

He does!

[@rachelmayes298]

I thought it was you doing the renovation. Not getting people in to do it for you

[@MadeleineOlivia]

We have done bits, tradesmen have done other bits! Alongside our business it was becoming too much work

[@mollyb8136]

@@MadeleineOlivia you've got a lot on your plate. A smart move to know what you can do and what you need help with 😊 You have to live in the house at the same time after all!
