I stayed in Edinburgh last week and went to the Christmas Market, the mulled cider was amazing. On the next day we went to Fort Kinnaird - retail Park with Homese and Wilko, the car was crammed. We had a blast, lots of laughs and girly fun.

[@bernadineroyal6656]

Love having my tea with you, it’s like your just here in the kitchen telling me about your day and your plans.Thank you for your visits Catherine....❤️🇨🇦😊🎄

[@veemcg3682]

Have tried the simmering thingy and it's great...only burn pure beeswax candles because of my asthma now and yes the essential oils are toxic to cats! I've managed and haven't burnt the arse out of the pot! Oranges for decorating too..fabulous especially as I already had loads in the house and it was teeming rain outside..keep the ideas coming Catherine my girl! Great video as usual thanks a million!

[@Lorjarca]

I'm a homebody and only go out when I have to get groceries or go to medical visits. I've made my home comfortable so I don't feel the need to mingle with society. Thus keeps me safe.

Pleeeease go to all the Christmas markets and take us with you! :D (If you don't like long drives, be glad you're not in the US -- it takes us 10 hours (or more) to drive to see my family! Before Covid I didn't think anything of a 2+ hour day trip (how long it takes to get to Boston), but now, not so much. I'd rather stay home and take a nap.

Catherine, I enjoyed this chatty vlog so much! It is fun for me to hear how women in other countries think about things. You are really authentic and down to earth and I really like that. I am in the US and people here are very concerned about the newest variant too. Though I enjoy your travel vlogs, I am glad that you are not traveling outside Ireland right now. Enjoy a wonderful holiday season!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw thanks Carolyn x yes, I think winter I will stay close to home ❤️

[@janetbyrne7765]

I don’t know how I missed this one, Catherine, but I’m glad I found it! It’s feeling wintery, finally, in Houston, so this was right up my alley. It was clever of you to ask your brothers to help you as your Christmas present, and the three of you did a great job getting all that work done on your garden. You planed everything and then slaved away, and I’m glad to see your progress. It motivates me. Thank you!

[@cateb.l5343]

I agree I can't take anymore Covid talk. I have been going for a walk rain or shine to decompress. Always makes me feel better

Such beautiful countryside... I like walking. Rather dangerous here in Australia with the wildlife and insects however.. You vlogs are a warm nostalgic hug. Loved the garland!

I love to sit with my coffee and have a visit with you. I love the dried orange slices in the wreath - beautiful refresh 🍊 When we do a ‘pot simmer’, as you call it, we leave the lid off the pot as it simmers on low. You’ve got my ‘feels’ going as well 😊 Happy December 🌲

I wpuld love to have a hike in nature with you.the fresh air is awesome. Your projects are such a treat and motivation.thanx

[@Beruthiel45]

You're absolutely right about being outside in winter to raise the spirits. We're just like plants, we need daylight to flourish, and light therapy is used to help with the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder, known as Sad. My doctor suggested I buy a special lamp and sit with it shining in my face for a bit every day. It was rather expensive, 100 dollars Canadian, but it does help if you can't get out into the fresh air in daytime. Doesn't get light until after 8am and dark again before teatime so we're short on sunlight for months, and sometimes it's just too cold and snowy to enjoy the outdoors for long enough to do any good. I'm from Tyneside originally so I know winters can be nasty over there too, but going for a winter walk was always possible most of the time. The scent of the trees and the undergrowth, just lovely on a woodland tramp, and the scrunch of leaves underfoot. Vicarious fun going walking with you! 😊🍁

I dry oranges all the time. (I'm a wreath maker), and one bag I stored over the winter got moldy. But mostly, they hold uo really well I made a wreath with nothing but dried oranges on it for myself last Christmas, and it's just as beautiful this year. Your wreath on the greenhouse is smashing!

I love your chatty vlogs. The hike was beautiful. Now I really want to visit Dublin. The misty fog added such a romantic note to your nature shots. The wreath looks really beautiful with the oranges, perfect change up, and you will definitely see the wreath on your greenhouse more often then on your front door. A note to the simmering pot, it could sit on one of those teapot warmers that use a candle, that way it can be put outside the kitchen. Thanks for sharing your moments like the oven on fan only... "see happens to the best of us"! It's been so much fun listening to you sharing your plans for Christmas market and your garden. I think it would be a perfectly fine to ask your brothers for the gift of manual labor. It's personal, something that's truly useful to you and will have a longer-term impact. It can also make for a fun day together and won't need much wrapping paper and shopping time. Hope you had another lovely walk.

The wreath definitely looks so much nicer with the orange slices. Looks very upmarket and so lovely on your greenhouse. Getting suggestions and haven’t to change things for your book sounds just like when I used to get homework. Can’t wait to read it.

If your mower has a mulching feature you can “mow” the leaves. Saves a ton of time and you don’t have to rake! My hubby began doing this a couple years ago. Works great.

[@paolamanucci4796]

I love the fact that you have so many choices to go on your hikes and go to different places. Fresh air and walking in nature is a good way to start your day, week, month off. Do you all get snow in winter in Irland? Here in Canada we are past the first frost and have had a 2 to 4 cm of snow. In my area we have a place where wild nature animals live safe area will be going for a walk in the woods next week. Don't like walking on my own like to walk with a good friend. Want to take the time to wish you and yours a very merry Christmas and grand coming New Year!!!! 🎄🎄🎉🎉

[@anasmith1788]

Your very inspiring, I love this video too. I was watching you walking through the woods and it looks beautiful scenery but it scared me to think there was nobody around, you should be able to walk around quiet places but this day and age it is so dangerous. Please be careful. Lovely video. Love from Cathy in the UK xxx

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Love the conversation. I'm from Milwaukee and when I'm stuck in the house during winter, I browse seed catalogs and perennial plants catalogs. Will try the orange drying, my grandma use to push cloves in a whole orange and hang them around the house lovely smell. Take care.🤗🎄❄️

[@tinad8561]

Pomanders! We used to make them in school at Christmas.

[@lindaroyal8161]

What a beautiful stroll through the forest, all that moss, mist and magical area, I'm positive there's Fairies lurking near by. Love the back ground music while walking. The wreath came out really nice and can almost smell the aroma of the pot brewing. Your nails look very nice, like the length. Enjoyed this very much.

[@veemcg3682]

You need a nice big cuddly dog to take with you on your walks Catherine! They're protective and if you get a spaniel it will be full of fun! Belfast market is good but I would leave the car and take the train if I were you then you can eat drink and be merry and let somebody else drive and park!

[@DaintyDiaries]
