If you have Willow trees nearby and able to cut off long branches ,they make excellent support for sweet peas ( you probably already know !) but just remember to remove them …..before they take root and you end up with trees where you don’t want them !, 😂

[@ask.charlie]

We don’t but that’s a good option xxx

[@tamaracarter1836]

Thank you for another beautiful vlog. You’ve motivated me to get going in the garden myself! Hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend X

[@ask.charlie]

Thank you I hope you have had a good weekend xxx

Lovely vlog - thank you. Have you read Longbourn by Jo Baker? If you haven't read it already I reckon you would really like it. It is written from the angle of the below stairs staff at the Bennett's house (as in Pride and Prejudice) and is a great read.

I haven’t thank you so much will order 😊

Any advice on finding your style, de cluttering your wardrobe etc would be great! I'm 25, I still have clothes from 10 years ago and I'm not the same person I was when I was 15! I don't really like any of my clothes anymore, feel like I've outgrown them style wise but don't know where to even start!

[@ask.charlie]

Oh I understand, try everything on, if you really don’t think you will ever wear it again, get rid! Charity shop or sell, don’t hang onto things just because, but try everything on first, have a play with your clothes see what feels good, what makes you feel happy and confident. Xxx

@@ask.charlie thank you🥰 Think a weekend fashion show is calling 😂xxx

[@shelaghward9621]

P.s Anitger great vlog 🎉

[@Cksncrm]

Lovely video, but I have a question-at one point in the video I saw clothes hanging above what looks like the stove in the kitchen? I'm American and I've never seen that before. That's so weird but cool. Is it designed for that or is it just there's a space there that you can hang a clothesline under? Genuinely curious.

[@ask.charlie]

It’s an Aga which are very popular here, I have a clothes airer tucked away above it and it’s the best spot for drying! Xx

[@Cksncrm]

@Ask Charlie Wow, that's so interesting! Thanks for replying. You learn something new everyday!:)

Don't worry about growing too many tomatoes you can freeze them then preserve later

[@ask.charlie]

I just don’t have enough space I grow them in the greenhouse

[@thistledome9283]

@@ask.charlie outdoor girls are perfect for outdoors and any green tomatoes at the end of the season makes delicious chutney too

Mrs Grundon from the corner shop bought a second hand wedding dress in Oxfam last week and has had it dyed navy for everyday wear. It looks absolutely appalling on her and it's got a full train and leg o' mutton sleeves and everything. I saw her in it in Waitrose on Tuesday and at first I thought tinned goods was being haunted by Queen Victoria. I'd describe her body shape as 'porcine' but I'm not sure what would suit her, however we can conclusively say that whatever it is it certainly isn't 15 metres-worth of crushed satin. It's also much too big for her and when she sits down she disappears into the bodice like a turtle. The effect of sitting opposite a talking dress with a bad perm where a head and bust should be is bizarre to say the least.

I had scoliosis repair when I was 6 years old and I’m the shortest person in my whole family (I’m 5’3 ) and my twin sister is taller I think she is a whole head taller than me. Obviously being twins I’m meant to be her height we have the same leg height but it’s my back that is shorter so I have no idea what to wear to make me feel/look equal up and down. I’m over weight at the moment due to low physical activity and depression and the medication I’m on for that. I think I’m hourglass as I do have a )( shape. I did want to get my colours done by a colour me beautiful consultant and I was going to spend £500 just getting it all done in a day but I’m a weird shape due to my shorter spine so I’m not sure any of these beauty and fashion consultants would want or know what to do with me.

If you find a good one they absolutely will be able to help you, but before you spend the money have a try one at home and play with clothes in front of the mirror and see what you feel good in. Try wearing longer tops and not tucking in to make it look like you have a longer body xxx
