Charlie’s bowl of pasta, looks like enough to feed at least 4 people 😂

[@bubblemummy1]

Gosh your living room is so so cosy! I could just snuggle up on that gorgeous pink sofa by the fire and never leave! Love the wreath too, it's too beautiful to take down yet! 💖

[@katrinaandtheways3036]

Wow, forest bathing! 🌳🌳 Sounds amazing! I would love to do a guided session like that! Nature is so essential in reducing anxiety. I especially love my walks when I can see different hues of green and feel the wind on my face. I literally return with renewed energy everytime I do this. It is so worth taking the time!!

[@JosieIrons]

Absolutely!!!

[@katrinaandtheways3036]

@JosieLDN ❤

[@heavenjb]

Sooo true!! I was in a winter funk I live really close to the water about a mile away and it’s lovely in spring summer and fall but winters have been hard since I moved! Soo windy cold wet! And today I needed nature I could feel the funk taking over!! 💕

[@clairehawkes1112]

The Okiem concert Josie ❤ thank you so much for taking the time to include a reasonable amount of that , just stunning x

[@angelmuscledoc]

I do this every day, lucky I am surrounded by the forest!!❤

[@deniseyounger6004]

I agree Charlie! Feb is the worst month ever for me every year! I’m sure Josie will cheer you up

[@clairehawkes1112]

Doing the photography course together and whatever project it leads to is such a lovely idea. You two are such a great team it makes sense to do joint ventures and it also means you spend time together. Love you two ❤

[@trudiegordon6327]

So glad Charlie said that about being exhausted as I think Winter does it to us. Trying to keep warm and less sunlight. I have been feeling tired and put it down to this time of year and battling through Winter. Thank you Charlie for bringing it up.

[@jennifercasavant-yealy900]

I completely enjoy a cozy bed on a cold rainy February day! Me too 😊

[@jennifer6833]

Happy Tuesday Josie! Thank you for posting content that is true to you. I always look forward too your ray of sunshine ☀️. 💖☀️🌱💧🌷

[@dianebaker5243]

The concert in London looked and sound fabulous .love the big log fire ,,so cosy.😍👍

[@lisakern2217]

Thank you for taking us along forest bathing. It was beautiful! Love seeing the dogs photo shoot. They're so cute. Your cooking alway looks so delicious. ❤

[@jenniferneas6571]

It made me giggle and it was refreshing to see Charlie's exhaustion and honesty. But wow, the concert sounded magnificent! ❤

[@TheZeyre]

Okiem is brilliant! Love it❤. How great is that - the footage is fantastic Josie! Thank you!!!!🎉🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@MightyKern]

I love the drawing room part, where the dogs are the little celebrities, inquiring about their paycheque. LOL! There was so much lovely and rich footage in this video. Great job!

[@FayeCNL]

Wow my head is spinning I feel like I've been everywhere with you Josie. Thank you again for sharing I would also like to become more confident with my photography. It's a very rewarding hobby with professional benefits 💖

[@TowlerAdventures]

Charlie is literally so cute 😆 I just need some sun ☀️ he’s like Josie’s little house plant 🪴 ❤

Forest bathing is the best! ‘And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul’ - John Muir

[@myllro3644]

You and your husband are the cutest, I love the raw footage of your dinners, what you both do for your jobs, a fun lifestyle where you can be you and enjoy more of the little things that matter. ❤❤

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

The concert looked Fabulous 😊 aww the doggies together on the couch , just adorable ❤. Have a Lovely evening 🥰

[@wywy3826]

Thank you for taking us (and including us!) on your fabulous day & night - sounds like a fantastic experience at Bamford (launch & forest bathing - wonderful), the 22 and Hawksmoor. And Okiem is amazing! The photography course sounds great too - hope you're feeling the benefit. You look incredible as always WY x

[@didsburyartstudio]

Hi! your drawing room looks stunning and the conversations with the doggies are hilarious!

[@helenstella2666]

Ohh this looks exciting! 😁 Hello Josie 😊💕

[@tamaraljubisic8134]

All of it was fun but Josie--- Okiem and Orchestra was so beautiful!! The theater is such a perfect setting as well. Thank you for sharing!

[@lorrainewells3844]

Such a treat to go forest bathing. I enjoy all the shapes, smells and sounds when walking through a forest. Your Okiem Concert sounded fabulous. ❤ Lovely to have a relaxing facial. Mac and cheese, yummy. Enjoy. ❤ Rigatoni ❤ Thank you for sharing ❤

[@paulan5989]

Loved the clips of the performance. So beautiful and fun too

[@glgardener4972]

Love your drawing room. I enjoyed seeing a quick look at your books-please show us more. We have been having a lot of rain here also....but it brings spring flowers.

[@Skadetlk]

that sheep sweater is so cute! 💕

[@leilariley936]

Such a soothing vlog my dear Josie,and quite a bit of nostalgia of your wedding with your favourite pianist!!!Is it me,or did your two fur babies just lovingly sat beside each other and posed for the camera in your new sofa!!!Sounds like Charlie,is craving another getaway!!All my love,to you all!💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@reem7710]

What an absolutely amazing consert❤❤❤❤❤

[@IsobelCeline]

How incredible you saw Okiem again. He is truly an incredible pianist and performer in general. I’d ADORE to see him live ❤

[@libbykilpatrick1578]

Josie you have got me addicted to Rigatoni. I love it with my mac and cheese now. I now also make my own bone broth and freeze. Love your vlogs I have picked up so many tips watching you and Charlie with your sausage boys are the Highlight of my week. XX

[@kimdaniels7150]

Another wholesome feel good vlog 😊

[@teresahalliday3680]

The length of your hair is beautiful and your hair looks so healthy!

[@sushhhiii]

I feel so grounded whenever I see any of your videos🎻🕊

[@ginafabiani194]

❤Love the nutrition content and beautiful landscape of the area where you both journey ❤

[@catherinehezelgrave8440]

Love the vlog and thank you for being you xxx

[@nadine-isabelleroyer9253]

I love your pullover with the sheeps !

[@donjavanderstelt6459]

Josie, you should do a Mac and cheese cookbook! 😂

[@angelawaldman8596]

Yes!

[@hananebencherif2886]

Oh Josie, what a lovely vlog as always ❤️ Okiem's concert was truly magical and emotional 🥲! I was so excited to finally meet Okiem but the cherry on the cake was meeting you and Charlie in the audience! I couldn't believe it 😍, I couldn't even speak properly 😂. You are both wonderful people 🥰 See you at the next Okiem's concert! 😉

[@JosieIrons]

It was so wonderful to meet you!!

[@kathieh880]

I adore your formal living room, and especially the large ottoman in the middle! But I think Charlie is right; the wreath needs to come down now! It was loved and will be missed! ❤️

[@pamelabrown-nerenberg6386]

Love your vlog. It is totally relaxing for me today after playing a game of lawn bowling.❤

[@secretgarden8578]

Magnifique coucher de soleil Merci pour cette agréable vidéo with Charlie

[@qhride1]

Hi Guys sending you some sunshine from Nz🤗 today we had the first good bit of rain in months , as much as i love the wildness and beauty at my back door like half an hours drive to walk barefoot on a spectacular beach without seeing a soul all day or swimming in nearby river with some outstanding scenery , i cant help feeling constantly homesick ( being a Brit) and yet at the same time completely satisfied at your wonderful vlogs which fills my heart with utter contentment xx Poor Charlie that's funny about February that crappy limbo month ours is August waiting for spring in September but not as cold as the uk x 😁

[@evamosbauer2865]

I been thinking of late to go and do a Photography course as you can image so many beautiful place to take Photos here , so this is on the cards, in hence saying this we have mint growing everywhere in our back garden love the stuff ,I was just thinking how blessed I am to live in the Yara Valley to hear all the birds and see all the wild bunnies and yes Kangaroos who live wild sometimes they come into our Property well its free lol also lets not forget my family of Possums they are so cute ,they are not afraid of us they come really close ,which sends Poor Archie into a tis lol and so in love with the air balloons they are incredible to look at , well time for my coffee sending Both lots of Hugs and lots of kisses to the boys from down under lol xoxo

[@ekaterinap4601]

Superb vlog! ❤😊 Thank you so much for sharing 😊 the hotel beautiful 🤩, the concert 🎶 so wonderful, the handsome pianist great 💗 Josie ❤ Charlie, you both are truly inspiring! You let us experience so many wonderful things, introducing a whole new world (some of us may not be able to have such amazing experiences in real life 😊)! Just want to express my sincere gratitude from the bottom of my heart 💜 I felt true joy watching you 😊❤ Thank you 🙏

[@melissalane7920]

I love February because it’s my birthday ! Tomorrow on the 28th actually. 49 years on the planet! Whoop 😊

[@esthervanderbrugge2253]

Happy Birthday 🎉

[@MademoiselleJules]

Happy birthday in advance!! Have a great day!

[@dsmith9796]

Happy Birthday! 🎂

[@petrak4746]

Woohoo Happy Birthday, Melissa 🎉🎂 😊

[@Lambsear565]

🥳 have the happiest bday! 🎊

[@aileenreynolds5604]

Totally vibing with Charlie, actually lying in bed rn watching this video at 5 pm feeling EXACTLY the same way!

[@TheZeyre]

So pleased to be able to catch up at least a bit closer to “real time” (will be watching in segments) but yes! To the Forest Bathing walks, that red bed is great! and the steak looks delicious… so far and then onto the concert! Xo Joanne

[@helensmith3214]

I know it’s the next day..but thank you Josie for another amazing vlog. Loved that music so good! I need a dry robe too, especially in this weather!! Cosy!!❤

[@aimeelawrence-bespokefurni575]

I absolutely love love love Okiem's music. I had been searching for another classical musician to listen to. Whilst doing art. So thankyou for sharing his music x

[@sylviagrannemann4311]

Love Love Love the concert👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍

[@robinrogers5630]

Me too!

[@patmetzger7387]

Jose, you and Charlie are awsome! Thank you

[@zebralove2840]

If Charlie is having a little seasonal affective problem, maybe try a light box. They can work wonders.

[@rach5516]

I have used one for years, best thing I ever did, made such a difference.

[@cactus8143]

Please Josie don't say the weather is ' disgusting', I know it rains a lot over there in Britain but without rain there wouldn't be any forest bathing, water is so precious to plants and you're such a nature-loving person, we should be overjoyed and enjoying the rain, water is life 🌧️☀️🌈 Hope you won't take it the bad way cause your videos really are the best!

[@littleanthonyuk6730]

Its disgusting! Rain all the time. I'm from NY and I'm sick of this weather

[@gabrielharrington7482]

@@littleanthonyuk6730lol

[@rosemarypalikaboothby9829]

My favorite Mac & Cheese is with Rigatoni. But, I add Grey Poupon Dijon mustard to spice it up with a little kick. In Hawaii we walk through the Koolaus to forage for the most beautiful herbs, flowers, fruits, and delicious plants to enjoy. Mahalo for a fun evening with you and Charlie @ Okeim’s concert. Amazing‼️🫶🏽‼️🫶🏽

[@trudiegordon6327]

The kilim footstool is lovely and the new sofa - such sumptuous fabrics. I have a kilim cushion in my upstairs sitting room and a turkish old large rug and the warmth they bring is amazing. I think your sitting room looks lovely now but I would change the wreath as it feels a bit out of place now and so many willow branches you can entwine and add some sprigs to. Be careful the ribbon does not catch fire. Charlie is right Josie time for the wreath to go and have a Spring one in it's place or artwork.

[@Nubianette]

I have to say this. I truly admire your cheekiness in eating mac and cheese as often as you want! 🏆👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I like chunks of chipotle cheddar as one of my cheeses. Parm on top. We do a slightly cheesy béchamel, but shredded and chucks of cheese. The cheese rind would be perfect in a minestrone soup, specifically. 😁

[@beru1972]

Butternut squash soup with an apple (curry, stock and coconut milk) puréed together is amazing too if you’ve never tried it. ❤

[@valerierichardson6457]

The sky was gorgeous

[@sallyannc3176]

Josie you really should have a carbon monoxide monitor in your dressing room - having the smoke from the fire downstairs leaking into it is dangerous.

[@tinacarrol6702]

Josie Fabulous Tuesday Vlog. Xx 😊😘

[@angelawaldman8596]

So much love for this vlog! Forest bathing, yes please. I live at the beach so it’s so different to me. I would love to take a mountain vacation. Next, how beautiful is that music? How did you discover him? I was so touched by it. I’m a new fan of his!!!! Thank you so much for sharing that. I’m on a plane to NYC as I watch this and we already had reservation at Hawksmoor so I loved seeing your meal. (You looked so gorgeous in that dress by the way.) I’m so excited to try it. Cheers Josie 🥰

[@claireiveson3350]

I agree Charlie. Bleurghh weather and into feb…bring on spring 🌷

[@OhSoLovingly]

LOVE that adorable hotel room!!

[@katarzynaciszewska6355]

I am here with Charlie I am done with that grey and rain!!!

[@wolfvngflatt6687]

Loved the music need to start listening it is on a another level

[@ItsWendie]

I feel Charlie, winter blues!

[@kalynloewer]

I live in NYC and do guided forest bathing at the NY Botanical Garden. It’s just the best and so essential for this nature-loving city girl.

[@bethcaswell9670]

The Red Bed!!! Scarlet temptation to just stay in!! Put out the DO NOT DISTURB sign ahhhhhh

[@trudiegordon6327]

I would move that small plum chair in the corner to somewhere else and put the lamp in the corner and swop the green plant out to somewhere else and tidy near the fireplace areas on the right so it looks clearer as you have a lot of lamps which create a lovely glow.

[@Betsy__]

I love the behind the scenes of content creation. And your planning and chatting thru. Charlie so right about only using a fraction of the ability of things like a camera and Mac book. I love that there is not a lot of turnover in your home. You don’t rush decisions and frivolously decorate. Porsche logo should be featured MORE.

[@anaz8749]

Josie time ahh! ❤🇨🇦

[@itsjustmel1217]

I've only had box Mac n cheese and a few from restaurants. Now, because of you, I've been making my own and will try your Christmas one, one of these days as well. The regular mac was a hit in our house. 😊😋👍

[@g.970]

Loved the piano playing. I was so lucky to be in London in October 2022 and snag tickets to LangLang t the Royal Albert Hall. If you get a chance to go to one of his concerts, please do. I took a London friend who is 50 years younger than me. She usually goes to rock concerts. After LangLang she said it was the best concert of her life and she has since gone on to attend other classical concerts. Loved your date night in London. And I’m with you about hotels in London. Soooooo expensive and small. I stayed at a hotel that was once the home of the Queen Mum’s parents. It was lovely except no AC and it was the hottest June on record. Luckily they provided us with two huge fans

[@leelahsday4829]

Loving your channel. 🎉❤

[@teresaharris2279]

Josie, the music from Okiem is Amazing!!! Just found it on Apple Music! ❤ thank you!!

[@graceful-shakti9019]

Instead of putting the unused scraps in the bin, get a compost bin and use the scrap scraps for compost.

[@meganfookes2026]

A great vlog thank you Josie. I love Mac and Cheese but as I have cardiac issues and need to watch my cholesterol I only have it a handful of times over a year. But you are young so just enjoy xx

[@helenstella2666]

I say Rigatoni is your favourite for mac ‘n’ cheese Josie 🧀 I love it with a sprinkling of crispy home made croutons & bacon 😋

[@jayneb8700]

I’m completely with you regarding Mac and cheese, I could eat it every day 😊 I love sausage dogs as well ❤

[@annephilp1507]

Throughout my life (now 69) I have never tried macaroni cheese as just never liked the look of it, that is until I started watching you Josie and the passionate way you speak about it and always improving your recipe, it was too temping and now I am hooked and even got my Granddaughter hooked who also had never tried it and is now 14, so thank you for your passion. Love your new sofa both colour and shape and the new layout in the Drawing Room it works really well and looks so cosy and comfortable.

[@JosieIrons]

Hahaha I love this!!!

[@trudiegordon6327]

You now have the same tones in your sitting room as my upstairs one and my downstairs one like yours is more neutral and a tribute to New Zealand with my art from there and hessian rugs and creams and beiges with touches of green and dark furniture.

[@lynndixonsilva9961]

Love your dress & boots that you're wearing/so becoming.... I live in Poulsbo, WA USA (across the sound from Seattle) so I have to deal with the rain all the time, too... is a challenge on the hair (especially for semi-curly)!

[@fionaseager3940]

Rigatoni and yes Mac & Cheese is the best thing EVER! 🥰

[@deborah972]

Hi josie loving your videos 😅 xx

[@irisdanagher]

Youre glowing 😊

[@g.970]

I love that your sofas have color. Here in the US, all we seem to see is white, off white and beige. Your drawing room is stunning

[@kellyhawes9293]

And gray! Too much gray!!

[@Margaretcs0103]

Rigatoni! We’re having an early Spring warm up here in Connecticut. Having Spring Fever in a major way. Mac & Cheese is very popular in the South here in the US….also as a barbecue side dish. I don’t know many Italian Americans in the Northeast that eat Mac & Cheese. 🤷‍♀️

[@Lynnrazz]

You use the Radiatore pasta...yes? I use this curly pasta for my mac and cheese... and I make it about every other week. I also sprinkle bread crumbs over top to make a crust - cause we need more carbs, LOL.

[@nmn1335]

The sheep jumper 🙈I’ve tried to get this and it is impossible! 😮 I really love it x

[@littleanthonyuk6730]

Big bear hug for you josie, i get low too especially living here in England with my brit husband whom I love but i miss my daughter and family so much and struggling to save for trips to the USA. Whatever it is I pray all will be well and you feel better soon.

[@g.970]

Love the ‘real’ phone in your hotel room

[@charlenebirston8220]

Me too Charlie!❤

[@lorrainenolan5604]

I have only tried once to make mac and cheese from scratch...it was a disaster!! A thick tasteless clump I had to bin it 😂😂

[@susanmiller5035]

Oh you got your car back! Hooray!

[@smgreenartsprivate]

Cooking from scratch is the best now craving mac and cheese and yes changing up the pasta sometimes makes all the difference. Great concert. I hope there isn't damage in your chimney and wall. Adore that sofa :) You have such a lovely little family Josie and Charlie :) Did you get your car back home the one parked at Bamford?

[@trudiegordon6327]

And Charlie you had 14 days in the Maldives - I didn't!! Love the red and green tones of that bedroom. Had to smile about London hotels so expensive as you will be getting £700 a night prob once 2nd rental cottage done. You are lucky you have the finances to do that as a lot of us have not.

[@MDeanrecipes]

"Don't toot my boot" 🤣

[@risk5riskmks93]

Love date night content. So romantic.
