I am going to try your cake recipe for sure Miranda and the YA book The Davenports if I have time. Thank you 🎉

[@lindabrannan3160]

Thank you so much for the sample and ideas for a Commonplace Book Miranda. I love it and it has inspired me.

[@saosousapereira9704]

What a great Easter gift! Thank you for the Commonplace Book Guide, Miranda.

[@bettymaugeri7316]

Love your Easter decorations - such treasures 🐥🐰

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much! 🐣💐❤️

[@cindyurban150]

Hi Miranda, I laughed so hard when your Mom told her funny story about her car ! I totally understand her feeling of panic ! That was such a thoughtful gift you gave your Mom,looks like such a beautiful book. It was amazing how your Mom remembered the book you read as a child, and was able to find a copy for you. Your Easter Tree and decorations came out so beautiful, and all the pretty tulips,and flowers placed all over your house. Your Pasta dish looked so delicious, I love Pesto sauce ! Wishing you and your Mom a Happy Easter ! Hope you enjoy your time off ! Love your lemon dress ! Happiness, Cindy

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much, Cindy, for your very kind words! Wishing you a joyful Easter too ❤️🐣

[@Georgina_LIS]

Yesterday I received my gorgeous Commonplace Book from Starsmead Bookbinding. I've already filled in a few pages. Happy springtime Miranda, Donna, and everyone else watching! 🌷

[@MirandaMills]

How lovely! Hope you have a wonderful spring too 😊🌷📖🖊️

[@Shannon-xe9bm]

Thank you so much for the Spring Commonplace Book Guide! It's absolutely beautiful and wonderful in every way!

[@MirandaMills]

I'm so happy you enjoyed it, Shannon! 💕

[@lindan2488]

I downloaded the Spring Commonplace Guidebook today and absolutely adore it. It is a wonderful spring gift! It is so great to know of someone else who has the same adoration of nature as I do. Also, I am 74 years old and have never read The Wind In The Willows. My husband is out of town and mentioned that he will be stopping at a bookstore. I gave him a list and 1st on it is The Wind In The Willows!

[@MirandaMills]

I'm so happy you like it, Linda! I hope you enjoy reading TWITW as much as I do. Happy reading! ❤️

[@judiruckstuhl8650]

Miranda, I absolutely love the earrings you are wearing in this blog. Can you tell me where one might acquire a pair of similar earrings. Enjoy all your recommendations.

[@lauramaga2084]

Dear Miranda, your vlog is a wonderful way to celebrate Spring! You are the image of Spring in your gorgeous dress… In Italy we don’t have anything similar to an Easter tree and I find the idea absolutely lovely : I think I’ll start a new tradition and I’m already looking forward to decorating it!! We only put a branch of olive tree in our home on Palm Sunday ( today) as a sign of blessing and protection for the family but it is a religious tradition and it’s not the same thing. Have a joyful Easter time with your dear mum.❤

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much, Laura, for your kind comments. The tradition of using an olive branch in your home in Italy on Palm Sunday as a sign of blessing is lovely! I’m so glad you’re thinking of making your own Easter tree as part of your Easter traditions too. I enjoy collecting the ornaments and decorating it so much every year! 🐣💐❤️

[@MyMidnight1111]

We're still snowbound in Minnesota USA ~ loved seeing all your beautiful spring time scenes xoxo thank you Miranda 💞

[@MirandaMills]

You are very welcome, Belinda! Hoping you get some warmer weather soon now, and Spring arrives in Minnesota too! ❤️💐

[@shelliclarke5563]

Oh my goodness, when the mama is running towards her baby lamb in the opening of this video, I melted. Your vlogs are so very lovely and give me such a feeling of peace and comfort, thank you for that ❤

[@MirandaMills]

You're very welcome! That lamb is so sweet!

[@Emmie4497]

That gorgeous lamb running to mum at the beginning! Have signed up for your newsletter and so going to look forward to sitting down with a cup of tea and looking through your Spring Commonplace book guide - what a lovely idea. Thank you for taking the time to put it together and make it available to us! Having had a few rough months coming away from a long term relationship, watching your beautifully made videos again has made me feel calm and comforted and able to connect with all the things I love. I have needed that so much. Thank you!!

[@MirandaMills]

I'm so happy the videos have helped, Emma. Changes can be very hard I know, and I'm sending you all my very best thoughts and wishes ❤️

[@hannahkelly908]

Thank you for turning me onto Elizabeth Harbour’s art! I had never heard of her and I really love it.

[@SavidgeReads]

Cherry blossom and lambs. What a lovely way to start a vlog, especially one celebrating spring. I love the idea of an Easter tree, I might have to do that next year. You always get me with the food. I loooove pesto, had pistachio pesto in Italy last month. It was incredible! Ps. My mum and I are planning a bookish road trip round Yorkshire later this month!

[@MirandaMills]

Aw thanks, Simon! How exciting- that will be such a fun road trip. If you & your mum are in my neck of the woods (and have time), you must pop by for tea & cake (and obviously book chat) 😄🫖🍰

[@SavidgeReads]

@@MirandaMills would looooooooove that!

[@gwen9620]

Because of you, I ordered several Elizabeth Harbour ornaments. They too adorn my Easter tree. Always a pleasure. xo

[@MirandaMills]

I love the new Easter bunny ones she just put out too ! Very sweet! 💕 So glad you like them too, Gwen!

[@lindak.porter5988]

Another very lovely vlog! I enjoy them so much. I wish you and your mom a blessed and enjoyable Easter holiday! You mentioned once that your mom is an amputee. I have that in common with her. I think I must be about the same age as your mother, and I have been an amputee (both legs at the knee) since I was 3 years old because of a birth defect. I love both of you so much! You are such nice ladies and you know how to create alot of beauty in your lives, and share it with us! 😊❤

[@MirandaMills]

Whilst my Mum is missing a lot of the leg from cancer surgery, the surgeon was very fortunately able to avoid an amputation, but thank you so much for your very thoughtful and kind comment, Linda. You are obviously a very brave woman! Wishing you a very happy Easter! 💕 🐣

[@karenhaire5451]

Lovely video! enjoyed the tribute to James Herriot in your newsletter. Here in my county in North Carolina we have quite a lot of sheep and the lambing season is such a delight. I love to see them gamboling!

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you, Karen! I love to watch lambs too 😊

[@pamelapoet9]

What beautiful spring images, from the flowers and sheep to (my favorite): Donna blasting music and "rocking out" in her car! And thank you again for the beautiful Commonplace PDF. It is a real treasure and a reminder to appreciate the creative wonders around us, as well as within. Wishing you and Donna a wonderful Easter. 🚙 🌸 🐣

[@MirandaMills]

That’s such a lovely comment! Thanks so much as always, Pamela for your generous support and enthusiasm. I’m very grateful, and it’s all much appreciated! Easter greetings to you too! ❤️💐x

[@PokhrajRoy.]

So happy to see a new Vlog! It’s nice to see colour coming back into the world.

[@MirandaMills]

It really is! Love all the flowers 💐

[@jaynechitty3514]

Hi Miranda, what a wonderful vlog! Thank you for your lovely free gift, I shall look forward to using mine. I love how you have styled your hair it really suits you. Wishing you and your Mum a Happy Easter. Enjoy this lovely weather. Xx😊

[@teenabrown9786]

Hi Miranda, Thank you so much for your guide on Commonplace Book in the Spring Time. I love what you have lovingly put together. It's beautiful! I'm definitely going to start a Commonplace Book. I do hope you do this again. It's lovely. I will have to wait awhile for Spring to use it. It's autumn here in Australia. 😂 Thank you! Happy Easter to you & Donna. Continue with enjoying Spring & your little holiday. ❤❤

[@elizabethdabor2359]

Happy Easter Miranda and Donna!! 🥰🇨🇦🐣🐥

[@wendywesley7423]

I love your videos. It is obvious you put a lot of thought to them. I can relate to remembering a childhood book that the name escapes you. I once read a book as a child that I cannot remember the name of. I had taken it out from the library. It was about a girl name Laura who went to summer camp. Some day maybe my mind will unfreeze or I will run across it. Cheers have a lovely Easter.

[@MirandaMills]

I hope you will remember the name eventually, Wendy! Thank you so much for your kind words! Happy Easter to you too 🐣💐

[@Daria-4215]

Very heartwarming spring video! Thank you so much for Commonplace Book Guide! Have a wonderful holiday, Miranda!

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 😊🌷

[@cathpinkett5737]

Happy Easter Miranda and Donna.xx😘

[@bettymaugeri7316]

Your video is so gorgeous - I loved the walk in the woods with beautiful accompanying music - I was transported to another time.

[@MirandaMills]

I’m so pleased you enjoyed it! I wanted to share the beautiful tranquility of a wander in the woods ❤️

[@WaterBearReads]

Beautiful, beautiful video Miranda! I loved Donna's story- I laughed so hard! I love the relationship between you two! Have a lovely holiday! 🐇Happy Easter!🐣

[@MirandaMills]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Happy Easter to you and your family too! 🐣💐📚

[@kitcar668]

Thank you for the lovely vlog Miranda, really enjoyed it, enjoy your break. Happy Easter 🐰🐣

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much! A very Happy Easter to you too! 🐣💐❤️

[@juneharrop6245]

Thank you Miranda for your free download, such a lovely thing to do. I am looking forward to reading it. Another great video as always, lovely to see your mum looking so well. Have a wonderful holiday and Happy Easter 🐣 to you and your mum xx

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much, June! Easter Greetings to you too! ❤️🐣

[@SangoKSJ]

This was such a lovely video 😍 it was a much needed break from the mammoth translation job I have at hand at the moment, which is taking all my time. I was also so glad to receive the newsletter and your gift, which I immediately downloaded but, due to this very pressing job, I haven’t even had a chance to look at... I can’t wait to get to it during a break in the next days! I totally fell in love with your beautiful Easter tree, which is not a tradition here in Italy, but it’s slowly gaining popularity and I’m hoping to finish collecting enough decorations to start my own tradition maybe next year. I hope you and your lovely mom have a wonderful Easter week and holidays 💐🐣🐰

[@MirandaMills]

That’s very kind of you, and I hope you have a lovely, well deserved break and have the time to read for pleasure over Easter! I’ve loved buying Easter decorations for our tree over the years. I expect there are some beautiful ones in Italy too! Enjoy your Easter break! 🐣💐📚

[@cindystuder9090]

Enjoy your holiday!!

[@MyMidnight1111]

Thank you Miranda. Wishing you a pleasant holiday and looking forward to your new website. Happy Easter 🐑🌷🐇Much Love

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much, Belinda! Happy Easter to you too! ❤️🐣

[@hello_from_nic2998]

You are so lucky to be able to read Kate Morton's new novel early. I am really looking forward to it.

[@MirandaMills]

It’s fab! She’s a favourite author of mine so just keep looking forward to being able to get back into her book! ❤️📚

[@sandramiele1816]

So gorgeous and peaceful! Perfect for a quiet Palm Sunday. Thank you so much for your content🙏.

I'm so happy you enjoy it, Sandra! Wishing you a Happy Easter ❤️🐣

Thank you Miranda for all the lovely Spring inspiration and recommendations. Thank you, too for the beautiful Spring Commonplace Book download. Wishing you and Donna a Happy Easter, have a good break and I look forward to seeing you again soon, Teresa

[@MirandaMills]

I'm really pleased you enjoyed the download and the vlog, Teresa! Thank you so much too for your very kind support! I am very grateful! Have a lovely Easter! 🐣 ❤️

[@Thecottagebookworm]

Beautiful to see all the flowers coming out, I will be decorating my own little tree ready for Easter. Enjoy your time off ❤❤

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much! Enjoy your tree decorating and Easter too! ❤️📚💐

[@shelleyimmel8067]

May you have a lovely Easter break and be refreshed on your return, Miranda. I do enjoy your videos. I am thinking of putting together a little box that includes your download with a journal, stamps and pad for a birThday gift for a young friend who will be turning 10 though I may also do something similar for another journal living friend.🌹Best to hand Donna for Easter and this start of Spring.

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much, Shelley! That sounds like such a thoughtful gift for your friends. Something they can use throughout the year too! ❤️ 💐

[@heidikuijer3612]

Thank you for a spring and festive vlog for this Sunday evening. The commonplace book guide is beautiful. Your lunch looked delicious. I have never had burrata and now want to try it. We have a tradition of Easter trees here in The Netherlands. Your tree is so pretty. Happy Easter to you Miranda and Donna.

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much, Heidi! I'm so happy you enjoyed the vlog and the guide! Happy Easter to you too! 🐣 ❤️

[@lizzieh5284]

I love the free gift. The pictures are really lovely. Thank you.

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much!

[@ingaurban404]

Thank you for everything you do, dear Miranda! This week I want especially thank you for the wonderful Commonplace Book Guide you sent out on Friday! I actually made wild garlic pesto today since it grows in my garden! Have a lovely week!

[@MirandaMills]

That is so kind of you, Inga, thank you so much for your lovely support! I really appreciate it! How lovely that you made pesto today - a fun coincidence! Enjoy wild garlic season ❤️

[@diannerj896]

Thank you so much Miranda

[@MirandaMills]

You’re so welcome!

[@cannwolfe1207]

Hello Miranda and mum! I truly needed to read The Wind and the Willows. Life has been so depressing I needed this escape. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the 1966 edition was illustrated by our beloved Tasha Tudur. U.S gardener and illustrator. I was also reading over the Buttery Shelf Almanac also illustrated by her. Ah... bring on sweet spring! Hugs to you both! CaT

[@MirandaMills]

Those are two lovely books and so suited to Tasha Tudor's style! I''m so glad you had a beautiful edition of TWITW to make the experience of reading it even more special ❤️📚

[@lindahenderson1625]

Thank you for the lovely commonplace book download. It’s beautiful. It has your special artistic touch. It clearly took a lot of work on your part. And your efforts and sharing are deeply appreciated. Enjoy your well deserved holiday. Your taking breaks is an example for all of us. Work is important. But enjoying our days in a more relaxing manner is vital to our physical and mental health. I look forward to your next vlog. Take care and God bless you and your family. Happy Easter!

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much, Linda, for your kind words! Happy Easter to you too! 🐣 💐 ❤️

[@suebrown436]

Delightful, Miranda! Will miss you for the next couple of weeks, but make the most of your time away from KZbin! I love Kate Morton and it's wonderful that she has a new book coming out. I am collecting the books which I don't already own by her from charity shops - as long as I can get hold of good clean copies (I'm a stickler for that! 🙄) The book you got your mum looks so beautiful!

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much, Sue! It's always fun to have an author (or a few authors 😁) you're searching for when browsing in charity or secondhand shops. Happy book hunting!

[@jobailey145]

Thank you for another cheering video. The Gilded Age was simply wonderful 😊

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much, Jo! I started watching it last night and am very much enjoying it so far!

[@elecole71]

Hi Miranda...I loved your newsletter and have had loads of fun shopping for supplies to start my own Commonplace Book. 😊 I also really enjoyed the Davenports and LOVED the Guilded Age. I believe season 2 is upon us, so I'm very excited. I think you'll really enjoy both. 😊❤️📚

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much, Elena! I’ll be sure to check The Guilded Age out then. Have lots of fun with your own commonplace book! 📚❤️

[@keribrown6560]

Hi Miranda! I'm taking some time to slowly catch up on old videos that I haven't seen yet, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I loved the bookshelf tour, as I'm always trying to squint to read the spines whenever you film in front of them. :-) Now I won't have to, since I know what's there! As for my own vintage collection, I don't seek out any particular series or authors, but I do collect books that have meaningful inscriptions. One of my favorites is a copy of Nicholas Nickleby inscribed "Nellie & Fred, Birthday 1891, from Mother," with a flourish underneath. I always wonder which of the twins got to read it first. :-) Also, I will never own too many vintage copies of The Wind and the Willows and A Child's Garden of Verses!

[@Catherine-2008]

The same thing happened to me, Miranda. I remember reading a book about a girl that finds a crystal cave when I was in elementary school and I loved it! Unfortunately, I haven't had a brainwave about the title of the book lol. I am glad Donna remembered The Wind Boy and I hope you enjoy it as much as you did when you were a child.

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much, Catherine! Fingers crossed, you can find your own “mystery book” yourself one day! ❤️📚

[@GMJ7]

That little lamb scampering along at the start! ☺️ Hey, The Wind Boy! I read that around this time last year. I had ordered it secondhand and was delighted to find a hardcover came in the post even though I expected paperback. It has the same beautiful watercolour artwork as your edition. It definitely holds up as a light, fun read. It's full of magical realism; by the end, I was never 100% sure how much of the magic was real vs. embellished (i.e., the children's way of imbuing their world with wonder). If I had to compare its vibes to other children's classics, I'd liken it to Five Children & It, The Princess & the Goblin, and Pollyanna. You're in for a treat!

[@clutterbugsattic]

Happy Easter Miranda and Donna. Thank you for the download I have found it very helpful for my own journal keeping. So inspirational:)

[@MirandaMills]

That's so kind of you to say! Thanks so much, and Happy Easter to you too! ❤️🐣

[@spinstercatlady]

So very much going to miss your vids for the next couple of weeks, but hope you have a wonderful and restful holiday 💜🐇 I'm having surgery next week, and while I'm recuperating I plan on going back and watching some of your older vids as a treat (and will probably result in some book orders being placed haha).

[@inezforeman5106]

The Gilden Age is very enlighting, but to the fact that it is based in New York. I am from New York and love the history that the show portrays. Just like Downton Abby had so much history being portrayed. They both have similarities the fashion, history, and drama.

[@pamelajarvis7728]

Miranda, The Gilded Age was wonderful!! Well worth watching. Very good acting and the storyline was true to history and very engaging. I watched it with an American friend and we were equally thrilled by it! A good Easter watch perhaps…. The Four French Holidays looks really interesting and the Dorset Book looked a stunner! Thanks for another wonderful video. Wishing you and your Mum a Glorious Easter ❤

I'm watching it now, Pamela and am loving it! Happy Easter to you too! ❤️🐣

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you! You too! ❤️🐣

[@jasonlow8029]

Dear Miranda, A wonderful video to start my week! 🌸🌼 I laughed so much in recognition hearing Donna mention about the cruise control button. It sounds like me when my arms move around to press every button, in the desperate hopes that something will switch off or switch on! 🤣 I shall try making the pesto as it sounds delicious! Have a wonderful start to the week, and a lovely Easter holiday. All the best, Jason

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much, Jason! Wishing you a very Happy Easter and enjoy the wild garlic pesto dish if you get around to making it 🐣 🍝

[@elkahmae1283]

Miranda, I wanted to suggest and share the name of a book Im still reading called , ‘ The Light of the Midnight Stars’ abt a Jewish family, but mainly the three sisters of that family. They all have special gifts and as well as the whole family whom all are descendants of King Solomon. But there are secrets that must be kept to their people. Its magical and has some truth ! In really enjoying it and its taking me on an interesting journey. It caught my attention as I was looking for different books to read and since I’m part jewish I thought it might be interesting to read something in a fearie tale type style. 🌸 thanks for all you share with us and your an inspiration to keeping us all interested in Reading! 🌸

[@michelepastele5347]

I have had a similar car experience and have a car that has all kinds of buttons on it that I never use. Somehow the buttons occasionally turn on. I finally found a button on my steering wheel that turns everything off. I used my red nail polish and marked it so that when that happens I can turn the annoying things OFF ! Happy Easter to each of you. Thanks for another lovely video!

[@rebeccawright1171]

Thanks! Wishing you and your mum a lovely Easter holiday and look forward to your return in late April. Thanks for all of your very thoughtful and informative content.

Lovely vlog. I was so excited this week when I received your spring newsletter. Miranda, it was just beautiful. The art you included was stunning. I've been through it several times. I'm starting a journal with some of your quotes. It will be a fun project for me. 😊 Loved your Easter tree. Also wanted to tell you I picked up Sally Vickers The Librarian and am loving it. I ordered two more of her books. Never heard of her until you mentioned her in one of your vlogs. Wishing you and your mother a Happy Easter!!🐣🐇 See you next time. Enjoy your time off. 🤗😘💕💕

I’m so glad you like the Spring Commonplace Book Guide, Diane, and your first Sally Vickers book! Thank you so much for your good wishes - hope you have a lovely Easter ahead too 😊🌷💐

[@mhairigilchrist9792]

Beautiful vlog , gorgeous country Spring scenes, music, Easter decor , delicious food and of course books. I eagerly downloaded your fabulous pdf on Common place book keeping, absolutely stunning and I look forward to taking time to go through it more thoroughly. I also had a chuckle at your lovely Mum's 'adventures' in the Car , not quite as disastrous as Toad in Wind in the Windows thankfully😂 . Enjoy the Easter break . Thanks again.

[@MirandaMills]

No, thank goodness not like Toad’s adventures😂 I’m so happy you enjoyed the vlog and the pdf, Mhairi! Thank you very much for your kind comment, and Happy Easter to you too! 🐣📚💐

[@dorislong9420]

Miranda, I immediately, upon the ending of your vlog, found a copy of Four French Summers. I am such a Francophile, this appealed to me immensely. I so enjoyed all your reviews. Thank you! Enjoy your time away from social media.🌸🌼🌺💕💕

[@dorislong9420]

Sorry, Four French Holidays.

[@MirandaMills]

Yes, it appealed so much to me too, Doris! I'm really enjoying the different chapters! 🇫🇷 ❤️

[@2_pencil]

Oh my gosh, you just made my day! I’ve been trying to remember the name of a lovely book with beautiful illustrations that I read as a child. When you decorated your egg tree, I realized that was the name. The Egg Tree! Thank you for the wonderful content. Happy Easter!

[@MirandaMills]

That's wonderful, Julie! I had a copy of that book too when little with folk art style illustrations, and, yes, it is beautiful! Happy Easter to you too 🐣 ❤️

[@emily_robinson]

What a wonderful spring video. Love those lambs and the walk in the woods and your tree. And I'm excited about the newsletter and the Commonplace Guide. Thank you! I started listening to "Three Men in a Boat" after you mentioned in the video on Thursday and I ordered "Eternal Boy" and look forward to reading that when it arrives. I hope you have a good break!

[@MirandaMills]

That all sounds wonderful, Emily! Ian Carmichael reading Three Men in a Boat is one of my very favourite audiobooks! ❤️📚🐑

Enjoyed this vlog so much! Thank you for the Spring Commonplace Book Guide, it's beautiful. I've never heard of a Commonplace Book, but love this idea. Happy Easter! Enjoy your holiday!

Thank you for another inspiring Spring vlog, Miranda! I’ve recently enjoyed reading The Lark on the Wing, too, love the depictions of flat sharing in London and the trip to the Dordogne. Hope you and Donna have a very happy Easter - hot cross buns and chocolate! 🐣 🌼💛

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much, Lindsey, for your very kind support. I’m so appreciative of it. And yes! Wonderful book! Wishing you a very Happy Easter too! 🐣❤️

I have also received a Commonplace book from Starsmead and haven't started it yet so the pdf is perfect to get me started! Thank you.

[@MirandaMills]

Oh lovely! Enjoy starting your own commonplace book, Shannon! ❤️📚

Hello! What a lovely box of delightful Easter and spring ornaments! I just found your channel today and have shared it with a kindred spirit friend who also loves cottagecore and books and all things British. As I sit here sipping a cup of Yorkshire tea with sweet cream, after just having ordered a tin of chocolate and mint tea sachets, I will continue watching this video with a smile on my face for having found you. I know I will be binging on your videos until I'm caught up and will be looking forward to your new ones. As a "bookaphile" myself, I can't wait to see your reviews. 🙂As a little aside, I am from Pennsylvania in the US, have visited England many times and am sorry that it's not in my future to return to a place I love.

[@MirandaMills]

Welcome to my channel! I'm so glad you're enjoying it, and thank you for your lovely comment 😊 ❤️

[@Noortje-hm3ov]

Thank you very much for this vlog! I always look forward to you vlogs. I wish you and your mum a Happy Easter😘

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much! Wishing you a Happy Easter too! ❤️🐣

[@brydiesteve]

The Gilded Age is a great watch, highly recommend it! Wondering if you have watched The Lost King and/or read the associated books? The movie was lovely

[@MirandaMills]

I'm really enjoying The Gilded Age now, Brydie! The Lost King is on my list too. Thanks so much for reminding me of it!

Hello Miranda and Donna, I so enjoyed your vlog and I’ve been dipping into your Spring Commonplace Book Guide. I had to smile at Donna’s story of the incident at the supermarket. I’m sure we’ve all been there when the unexpected happens in a vehicle. I can’t imagine an opportunity to use cruise control on most British roads, as they are far too crowded. Enjoy your Easter break and I hope the sun shines for you.

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much, Marie! Happy Easter to you too ❤️🌷

[@joyallison4066]

I am loving the music you are using now! And I love the vlogs! Thank you!

[@MirandaMills]

I'm so happy you enjoy them, Joy! ❤️

Donna, the same thing happened to me years ago with the heretofore unknown cruise control function in my car suddenly turning on-and I had no idea what it was or what I had done. I was just totally freaked out since I was (ironically) highway driving at the time. Fortunately my passenger calmed me down and helped me figure it out, and I’ve been happily making use of it ever since. But every time I do I remember that panicky feeling.

[@MirandaMills]

Mum's very happy to hear she isn't the only one who has done that, Christy! Very happy to read you've been happy with it ever since too.

[@MJ-in-Canada]

Miranda, it looked like you were being embraced by the tree while you were reading. Such a lovely image. I recommend “The Gilded Age.” Try an episode on for size. Donna, you and I practice the same modus operandi. When in doubt, hit every button. I have only one crocus so far, and a lot of snow so thank you for this springtime episode. Enjoy a well-deserved break.

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much for your kind words! I will give The Gilded Age a try now! I hope your snow melts and more crocuses arrive very soon now! 📚❤️💐

[@MJ-in-Canada]

@@MirandaMills It's no "Downton Abbey" but it has its appeal.

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

I love the idea of an Easter Tree. I can't wait to get Homecoming by Kate Morton, but I like waiting for the paperback, though I do have it on my Amazon wishlist already.

[@MirandaMills]

Kate Morton is such a good writer! ❤️📕

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

@@MirandaMills I've been meaning to do a reread of her books so I can do an author spotlight.

[@anisopteras]

I hope your break from YT is all you want it to be. Looking forward to more content when you are ready and rested.

[@MirandaMills]

That's so kind, Margaret! I hope to be able to get lots done on work other than KZbin as well as some serious reading time too 😊. Thank you so much too for your very generous support. It really does mean so much to me. ❤️ 📚

[@teresaglasco6082]

As I was going about my day I realized that as it was Sunday I would be getting a new Miranda video...always such a treat! Enjoy your time off!

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much, Teresa! ❤️
