No pressure on the advent calendar for Charlie. We’re all blown away at his creativity, imagination and thoughtfulness.

[@natalie3827]

I think my favourite part was with you and your mum in the car chatting and eating your chish and fips 🥰😂xx

[@HappyNonna4]

How beautiful to see you and your mom enjoying your food together and talking. Lovely pair together. You are blessed to have her. Incredible views Josie.❤🇨🇦

[@melodyait]

Watching you and LL made me want to go pick up my momma and have a right festive day together! Funnily enough, the bit in the car, snacking, and watching the sunset together made me tear up. Such sweet moments to savor! ❤

[@helenstella2666]

Josie & Lala .. what a magical duo ☺️just the best Christmas in the Cotswolds Vlogmas 🎄🥰

[@mimib6787]

Question for you (as I only recently started following Josie). Why does she call her mum Lala?

[@helenstella2666]

@@mimib6787 Hello! I believe it goes back to when Josie & her Mum wanted to hire wet suits on one holiday. The chap said her Mum needed a ‘Lady Large’ size .. or LL for short. This this became Lala & a sort of nickname as they found it so funny! I hope this answers your question 😊

[@mimib6787]

@@helenstella2666 thank you!

[@nicolethorpe6498]

I know it's a lot of work but I think Charles's holiday calendar to you is just the sweetest thing! It takes a lot of thought and work instead of just getting you a new purse.

Truly enjoyed this vlog. The beginning church bells instantly brought back forgotten memories of the hymn. Loved the car chat with your mum and the cuddle time, at the end, with the doggies. This video was so heartwarming with all the people and things that are really important, not only in this season, but always.

Those Christmas markets always look so happy & fun! The countryside scenery was just breathtaking!😍

Lovely to see LL and watch you both enjoying nature and all it’s beauty and wonder…..it’s the simple things of life we often forget to appreciate.

[@roarul]

@josie, I am following a number of content creators/influencers, and you are BY FAR the BEST one. Your Vlogmasses are of highest quality: visually and content wise. I wanted to acknowledge that here. You deserve the praise. Your videos are fun, inspirational, insightful, relaxing. I wish you and your loved ones all the blessings and wonderful holidays!

[@JosieIrons]

Such kind words thank you!

[@annebrown886]

Every year me and my daughter have a day out together at Christmas at Chatsworth house, we take my 2 little dogs as well and it has become a tradition, it’s lovely to spend 1 day in the year together just the 2 of us, she doesn’t allow anyone to join us as she always says that’s ’our day’ for mum and daughter and the comments are right, it is so special 🎄🐾

[@romyb5099]

LL is so cute, don’t you just love mums when they’re there trying their hardest at stuff, it’s just so sweet.

[@andraskewes5804]

This is why I love your channel. You show your real life day. It's not always an unboxing or a glamorous outing but just ordinary life with a bit of sparkle thrown in here and there. I love that. Thank you ❤

[@newfoundland3030]

Seeing you out and about with LaLa makes my heart melt. Cherish Each and every moment with her, as you do. I'm around your Mum's age, and I miss my mother so much; we were so close and loved going out. My children also had the privilege to be with her and get up to mischief that only a grandmother would, always with a twinkle in her eye and such humor. Please send her our Christmas good wishes.🎄

[@kerrymcwilliams5990]

LL. I LOVE!! Please more content. I’d love to hear her tell us about her childhood in England. And about life raising you as a child. She is lovely

[@jennifer6833]

You and Lala are so enjoyable together. It’s certainly nice too see her in your vlogs. ❤🎄❄️ Hopefully Charlie will feel like himself soon, zero pressures from us on anything. The charm of the vlogs is being completely transparent. Dickens and Dexter ❤❤

[@sarahcampbell3012]

It was lovely to see you spend the day with your mother. Ceramics classes are very popular here at the moment too. On an another subject: I know that you don't want to spoil the Vlogmas cheer, but I hope that Charlie has someone to confide in about the stress that he is experiencing with work. I fear that he will not regain his health unless he "get's it off his chest". These work situations can really impact physical and mental well being and it is sad to see him so unwell. 🥰

Thank you, Josie for all the beautiful landscaping and the drive thru the Costwolds. And thank you for taking your sweet mother along. My daughter and I flew from Atlanta, GA to London straight on to Bath and then a rental car to drive thru (& stop) for B & B’s, dinner in the pubs, and tea shops thru many of the lovely villages. I’ve travelled a lot but the Costwolds have always been a fave. Our trip was about 23 years ago!! I’ve been in London twice since but never got back to the Costwolds…definitely in my dreams! BTW: I spent 2 weeks Grendewald in the Swiss Mtns. While touring around…..another dreamy travel I’ve been blessed! Love your channel. Happy Christmas to you & Charlie❤️🎄🤶⛪️

Seeing Chipping Camden brings back wonderful memories of the week in 2005 when my London born husband , his sister and I stayed in Little Thatch cottage in Chipping Camden and explored as much of the Cotswolds as we could! It was a dream vacation for this American!
