COSY READING VLOG - Quiet Days, Market Shopping & My Reading Plans

[@liloulux2739]

Your videos are like a warm blanket and a hot chocolate in this horrible (you tube)-world. Seriously, when I can’t take the bad news,wars,politics,crime,… anymore I watch one of your videos! So thank you for helping me keep sane. ❤

[@carolaustin3785]

I'm the same; give me the decency and intelligence of the Mirandas of the world any day!

[@dandybro6764]

you put in a HUGE amount of work to create something that brings such serenity. thank you and stay healthy. 🌷

[@emorourke1306]

I so agree with you on reading so called children’s books as an adult. Not only do I enjoy them, but I also pick up much more of the nuance as an adult.

[@susanekins8580]

Miranda, beautiful video as usual. I love the glimpses of the property where you and your Mom live. So idyllic. You remind me to go outside and drink my tea and look at my flowers--even in my much smaller yard. I need to enjoy it before hubby and I downsize. I'm not sure how you keep up such a busy work schedule, but your output enriches my life.

[@MJ-in-Canada]

I’m an early riser, too. I go for a long walk at sunrise, then I enjoy a cuppa tea in the garden. I don’t have sheep to look at but there are plenty of adorable chipmunks.🐿

[@irinamarkeeva4938]

I'm so glad I've found your channel on youtube & subscribed. You've managed to create such a soothing, inspiring and warm world with books and characters and real life)

[@eliasmokbel1638]

The first few minutes of this video (misty scenery, early spring flowers, sheep...) are fabulous.

[@RockDove5212]

Such a beautiful vlog . The early morning outside, the birdsong and peace. You have a lovely calm presence. Thank you ❤

[@helenrosson7903]

A very beautiful vlog. Such a nice, peaceful place to have a cup of tea. I love hearing the birds and visiting the sheep! ❤

[@julierogers1155]

A lovely post on this Sunday morning (for me on the west coast of the U.S.) from you. Thank you! YOU, Miranda, were my first (& still FAVORITE) KZbinr, and BOOK KZbinr. Mum, Donna, is a bonus for me, and no small part of the charm and brilliance of your channel. How ever much, or little, you do I am here for it. I always wish for you a good work/life balance. I often try to imagine all the work that goes into your content. One other item, how happy I am to see all your farmer's market produce items AND the brown bags (NOT PLASTIC), so wonderful!

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much!

[@julierogers1155]

@@MirandaMills And, your flower colors are beautiful ... they look like sunset colors to me.

[@EmmaBoglitt]

Your vlogs are always such a breath of fresh air ❤

[@cindyurban150]

Hi Miranda, Thank you for taking us outside and showing us your beautiful countryside ! It must be wonderful to sit and have tea,or a meal in such a serene setting. Thank you for the reviews on your recent books. I love your outfits with the beautiful Irish knit sweaters. You are so talented with the placement of the flowers for the setting/scenes of your photos of your book vlogs. I always appreciate your hard work for such relaxing,beautiful videos. Have a wonderful, new week ahead of you. Happiness, Cindy 🌻

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you very much, Cindy! xxx

[@jacquiridley3443]

I loved seeing Ripon Market.

[@glendaslanina9939]

Good morning Miranda. This was a fun video. I love vlogs that cover daily life over several days. Birdsong is lovely to hear in the morning. I am fortunate that my kitchen opens to my back garden so on semi warm days I can fling the windows open to hear the morning songs. Enjoy your week 🌸🪻

[@shoesofafisherman7261]

Just found your channel. Hello from Oxford ct USA What kind of tea ? Love channel relaxing in this crazy world Thanks mike

[@brendaleyland]

The colours of your spring flowers -- I'm swooning -- gorgeous! Thanks, Miranda, for another lovely vlog - I enjoyed every minute. xo

[@susandrouin1243]

I love your vases with the flowers…..your arrangements are stunning! You are such a bright spot in my week😘

[@jeffbowman1225]

I loved Anne’s House of Dreams. Chapter 3 when Anne visits Matthew’s grave and tells Gilbert why she prefers pearls over diamonds is one of the best things ever written.

[@MirandaMills]

yes, that's a lovely passage!

[@suebraid2480]

Dear Miranda, it warms my heart how many of the books you have read and loved I also have cherished and re-read again and again. The Secret Garden I have probably read over 50 times. The Episodes of Sparrows I discovered two years agp and loved it. Two more books of Rumer Godden's that I highly recommend are "Miss Happiness and Miss Flower" and "Little Plum" As always, I think your vlogs are amazing! Sue, from Hamilton, Ontario.

[@KarenPiggott]

I love to get up early. I start the day by walking my beloved Jack Russell Miss Edie Sedgwick 🐶💗 then back home for a green tea, overnight oats followed by Earl Grey tea or coffee ☕️ I love your collection of Emma Bridgewater mugs, those rabbits 🐰 are gorgeous. Best wishes Karen 🌺

[@carolinesimmill4962]

Thank you Miranda for your lovely vlog. It is so interesting to see the trees around your home and also the sheep and the lambs. The daffodils are still in bloom here in the highlands of Scotland. About a year ago I listened to the audio book The Making of a Marchioness by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I felt transported to another time and enjoyed the story very much. Emily Fox Seaton is such a gentle soul. Wishing you and Donna a lovely week with hopefully more mild and dry days to sit outside in your garden.

[@shanne6625]

What a gorgeous start to your day. I’m envious❤

[@royalgal8046]

You are PHENOMENAL! Love you and your Mom and watch your channel regularly. Feel like I'm spending time with good friends. Thanks for a delightful channel!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Happy Sunday! Hope you’re doing well and there’s nothing like waking up early on a calm day.

[@vanessap893]

Boy, those asparagus looked so tasty! 🤗 Thank you for the lovely video, Miranda ❤ Have a nice week ahead!

[@marycellucci8064]

Love the countryside with flowers and animals. Would love to see more outdoor scenes. Mary

[@nicoladunn3384]

Those spring flowers 😍

[@teresaparkins1255]

Hi Miranda, that was a lovely treat. I really liked your market basket, I still have my basket from my school days which I now use for shopping (they were all the rage in the 70's at my school ☺19 not 18's). I am really looking forward to hearing your review of Rural Hours as I have this on my wish list but was put off after reading a review in a national newspaper which criticised the books 'thesis' as being 'wobbly and contingent' - I am hoping you will have a more positive experience so that I might go ahead and get a copy for myself as I do value your opinion. Have a great week, Teresa 🧺📚♥

[@sue488]

What a lovely video - I really loved it! I was really interested in your "daily life" as I also work mainly from home and get up very early - I do seem to sometimes struggle with motivation so it was good to see how someone else manages their time. It was also great to see the market and it reminded me that my local town has a market which I should make more effort to support. You and Donna are both looking glowing so spring in Yorkshire definitely suits you both x

[@vickycroft9146]

A day late watching this video but miranda I have to say your garden is amazing and how wonderful to see the lambs out so near by😊 spring is definitely here 😊

[@lauramaga2084]

Such a delightful vlog: I rewatched the first part three times, so idyllic with the sheep, the lambs and the fresh green of the new leaves❤ I also adored the flowers you arranged so beautifully! I’ll definitely read the other books of the Anna of Green Gables series, I’ve only read Anne of Avonlea but your description of the other books really intrigued me…thank you Miranda for these pleasant moments in your company😊

[@thelimeysretreat4976]

After my morning 2 mile walk I try to sit out in the garden for my morning coffee and usually end up doing some work in the garden afterwards, I always seem to see something that needs to be done lol ! Xxx

[@monica_has116lentilsand2cats]

Lovely video, as always! ❤ More videos on your special editions or rather books you collect in several different editions would be highly appreciated. Lots of love from tiny-town Austria, Monica 📚🐾🐾🌷

[@valentinajacome]

Don’t know where to start. What a wonderful video. The earrings are wonderful. I’m going to have a peak at their store. Book plates - love them. When I first moved to the UK I used to get book plates but for some weird reason I stopped doing that. These ones you showed are just charming. Love Letitia’s books, and this one doesn’t disappoint; so beautifully done. Sift is one of those iconic books - Nicola Lamb has done a fabulous job. Love the dresses. You have immaculate taste Miranda. I’m catching up on your videos. Got a bit disorganized after arriving in Brazil. Have a lovely Sunday!

[@karenwhite2601]

With a view like that I'd love to sit out too, even in my tiny garden it can be pleasant in the mornings. I will have to start my day more often by going out instead of coming straight to the computer. In summer I love an early morning walk with my dog, when it can be too hot later on. I will definitely add Beyond the Secret Garden and An Episode of Sparrows to my wish list. I think you will enjoy House of Dreams, in some ways very different to the others but certainly a great read. As are the the rest of the series. I read them all fairly regularly! Rural Hours sounds very interesting too. I am spending much of my spare time knitting and have begun a more complicated knit than the little hats and mitts that I've been doing. It's called the Coracle Cowl and it's by Scottish designer Ysolda. She has some podcasts on KZbin, including one about the cowl. I'm really happy that I've gone back to knitting after many years and it is thanks to you recommending the book 52 Weeks of Easy Knits, which I never actually bought but you mentioning it was enough to inspire me. A super trip to the market thanks for taking us along. Beautiful flowers and lovely displays. Fabulous Emma Bridgewater items too.

[@janisedavis7686]

So delightful! Thank you

[@99sydthesquid]

I love how the bouquets turned out! They do make the living room so cozy.

[@LouiseBallantine-y4o]

Your new cardigans look so lovely with your Seasalt dresses. Thank you for the lovely videos xx

[@instabooklove]

Loved the scenes of your early morning day. So peaceful. I spent my day in the New Orleans Botanical Garden Spring Garden Show taking a flower arrangement class. Happy Sunday everyone.🌞

[@staciewaddell486]

Thoroughly enjoyed the Eva Rice interview. Thank you.

[@jennifermarigold]

Lovely video - Frances Hodgson Burnett's 'That Lass O Lowries' about the women who worked in the Wigan mines - is very good - quite a bit like Mrs Gaskell.

[@lizzieh5284]

Thank you Miranda. I love your bunny mug and those flowers are gorgeous! I always enjoy your vlogs when you go outside and let us know about your daily activities.😊❤

[@exomake_mehorololo]

😊Such a beautiful morning!! I'm always struggling getting up early 😢but it's so nice starting your day early. I wish I had song birds or sheep near my window. I got pigeons but they don't sing 😂

[@antigone3567]

Sumptuous market vegetables 🙂

[@staciewaddell486]

What an interesting and enjoyable vlog. Thank you. It’s so interesting to see a Creative and Influencer work through her day. You are tireless! I admire you.

[@maryfilippou6667]

I read An Episode of Sparrows many years ago, as an adult is my recall, and did love it. Lovejoys is a well- liked TeaRoom on Church Street here.

[@DianaSoucie]

Love your tea mugs… Emma Bridgewater!

[@marthajumartins]

What a treat! Two videos in a week 😊 !! Miranda, do you have any video about ww2 / historical fiction? I'd love to see your recommentations about that. Have a nice week ahead !

[@micheleelvin-bc8sw]

Thank you Miranda for sharing some lovely snippets from your week. I can see why Donna comments on how hard you work! I'll be so interested to hear your views on Rural Hours which I ordered over the weekend. It looks just my sort of specialist biography.

[@lindaklinedinst9236]

I am an early riser too - I get up between 4 and 6 am. I enjoyed this Reading Vlog. Looks like you have read some really good books. Take Care & Happy Reading ❤️🤗🔰📕📚📖☕️❤️

[@user-yt6cq7ex6q]

I read an Episode of Sparrows over the Christmas holidays and couldn't put it down. Rumer Godden's writing is simply superb and the story has stayed with me. Loved your video chalked full of goodness. Thank you. x

[@MirandaMills]

So glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

[@marty9011]

" Anne's House of Dreams " is my favourite Anne book, hope you'll enjoy it. How nice to get flowers delivered & having the fun of arranging them.

[@ArtemisC.DAragon]

Thank you, Miranda!!! What a lovely place you live at!!! I really enjoyed this video, although it made me quite nostalgic, so I hope to be back in England real soon! 🤗💖📚🍀☀️

[@jennifermielo-shook3174]

Your flower arrangements are lovely, Miranda! And the daisies from Emma Bridgewater are perfect for Spring. 🌼

I organise my reading similarly, daytime, bedtime and weekend reads. Bedtime reading is always on my ereader so I don't lose my page, if I nod off!

I especially loved seeing some of the area around your lovely home in this video, Miranda. How lucky you are to have those lambs right on your doorstop! I have an Episode of Sparrows on my shelf but have yet to pick it up so you've prompted me to get to it. I really enjoy these vlog style videos where you allow us to follow you around a bit on a typical day ☺

Love your content and how you show up in the world.🌹🌺🥀

What lovely flowers, I love the apricot tones. Greetings from Wales

[@deborahracette9755]

You did such a lovely job of arranging the flowers! And oh those sheep! Too cute. Although the calendar says spring, here in the US, we've had several days of snow this week, so your vlog is so very welcome!

[@MirandaMills]

Hope spring comes for you soon! 🌷

[@sandyokey1019]

Hello Miranda and Donna, thank you for another lovely video. I’ve enjoyed glimpses into your daily routines and of course, all the gorgeous content in both this video and your bonus video. I would love seeing future videos of some of your other book collections too. I read My Salinger Year several years ago and need to do a reread of it, and Rural Hours has made its way onto my wants list. And oh, the flower bouquets🥰 they’re just gorgeous. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead. 💕🌷🌷🌷💕

[@Seashells17]

Your videos are charming and so informative. Thank you Miranda

[@virginiatowsey7381]

Thanks dear Miranda for sharing your early morning outside. I love Spring as you do . Just hearing your gentle and encouraging voice is a comfort. Loved seeing the English sheep in the background. We are heading into winter in Melbourne, although our seasons are not as mak d as in England. ❤

[@bunkinbunkin]

Thank you Miranda for taking us out to enjoy the spring nature scenery and adorable lambs too🥰 I think I’m going to order the off shoot book of the Secret Garden. I’m not much of a gardener but I love reading about them☺️🌺 Last year I was too late for rhubarb season but I may attempt some this year roasted!

[@sezhouse7897]

I'm so curious...Is Anne of Windy Willows the title in the UK? I've never heard it called that, I've always known it as Anne of Windy Poplars! ??

[@Bearcub599]

I love your huge garden! And sheep too. Living in London, having an outside space is hard to come by. Enjoy gardening 👩‍🌾👩‍🌾

[@MirandaMills]

It’s not ‘my’ garden, as we rent, but (after living in London for 15 years myself), I’m very appreciative of the outdoor space! 🌷

[@Bordeaux93]

Ah OK, thank you!

[@carolaustin3785]

Thanks for another terrific vlog, Miranda! I'm glad you showed 'An Episode of Sparrows' because I remember loving that book as a child. My mother read it after me, and also thoroughly enjoyed it. Your point about books from the past being considered as suitable for both adults and children is a good one; I think the 'William' books fall into this category as well.

[@MirandaMills]

I’m so glad you’re a fan of An Episode of Sparrows too! And I so agree about William!
