Just love your mum. It’s clear where you got all that positivity from. Please more walks through London- I’m noting them all. When we get through to the other side I’ll be catching a train down to the smoke and retracing your steps. Well after I’ve had my barnet sorted of course.

It must be very strange x

[@carolinefotios3858]

An absolute breath of fresh air!! Started listening to your radio show up North 👌❤️ awesome!

[@wendybrookes1878]

I am sitting here with a smile of my face. Thank you so much. So great to see your mother and to hear her laughing. Loved the walk to work. Seeing the sun is uplifting. It is a dull morning here near Toronto. I was trying to save your video until later, but just couldn’t wait..lol. We were lucky to have Filipe, George and Michelle this week. Matilda is priceless. So sad Michele’s work got cancelled. I remember her from C street and Eastenders...back in the day. Stay safe Jo. I will try to catch your radio show as well. I can’t work either so now have time. Take care and thanks.

[@bethalaksa9104]

Also enjoying Jo and company in Toronto! My must see KZbinr on Wednesday and Sunday!

[@MegMerrilies]

Jo, you are always glamorous! Strange to see London so quiet - I love seeing the nooks and crannies off the beaten track. Your mum has amazing spirit, like my mum. George should let his hair grow again. Must tune in on BBC sounds this week, thanks for mentioning it. The radio app kept crashing so I've not listened for a while - hopefully you won't be talking about the virus like all the other stations, we need an escape.

[@janehicks9368]

These are priceless especially seeing the centre of London in these times

[@WAG24205]

Hi Jo, just loved that blue blouse you wore with the tie at the neck. So nice to see Phillipe again and of course it’s always nice to see George. What a darling mom you have. Seems she’s doing well. And thank you for taking us on the little stroll on Oxford as you walked to work. And enjoyed your chat with Michelle!

[@roberthardy7781]

Another fabulous blog and the lovely Michelle Collins who I managed to meet years ago. Bless your mum , it must be hard . I have had a tough week with with losing two relatives and unable to do anything or attend their funerals or even give give a hug to family . I am just so lucky my parents are here in the house with me . Keep up the great work love it . Oh and would like to see George in more videos wink wink 😉. Have a great week 😘

[@morebalz1]

Just listened to Filipe he has a lovely voice. Tuned in to your radio show too , I love radio , it was very good listening. x

[@isabellawharton-gaffney6518]

Stay safe Jo...had a listen to Filipe's song's on Spotify, love his voice...so I am now following him on there... I've been listening to your vlogs for a while now Jo and I love them... I am also the same age as you too, so keep them coming please.... they are helping to keep me sane in these mad times.x

[@donnanancekivell9430]

Lovely to see you again, your Mom is ever the optimist and happy as ever, bless her heart......I hear your weather has been fabulous as I have friends in Ealing and they said it was 22 there one day last week......summer is coming......Happy Easter and have a wonderful week..........Donna in Toronto

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

Donna the weather has been glorious x

[@anadecarvalho6928]

Thank you, dear Jo, how lovely to see your mum looking cheerful and what a treat to see a different part of London. Very interesting interview with Michelle Collins. As for Matilda lolling on the sofa, she's more catlike than dog, sleepwise

[@audreypennant7591]

Thanks Jo, for your upbeat jovial manner. Love seeing your mum and that she's doing well, i can only speak to my mum by phone bless her she doesn't really get what's going on as she has vascular dementia. Keep up the good work Jo, and keep it positive with your mum. Happy easter to you and your team.🐣🐣🌻🌻

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

Oh Audrey...its such a worry isnt it x

[@isobelgordon3847]

Glad your mum is safe Jo. Really enjoyed seeing George and Michelle Collins. Phillipe seems a little shy. London looks so sad with everywhere closed. The result is going to be devastating. Stay well Jo 🥰

[@cherylsimmons4540]

Glad your Mom is ok and love the hairband.

[@angieagentlesoul]

The did you have a beard last week? Yea. So did you.. comments had me rolling on the floor laughing.

[@lynn9935]

I look forward to all of your videos. Can't wait for the time when we can hug our mom's again. It's the hardest part of all of this. I do believe also that much good will come of this. We will never take our lives for granted again. You add so much pleasure to our lives. Michelle was great. Your content is great!

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

Thankyou Lynn

[@moniquecunningham762]

Happy Easter jo🐰🥳🌻🌞I will catch the vlog later. My little girl is waking up for her eggs xxx

[@Scarlett777Red]

Late to the party today,I was enjoying the sun in the garden....Nadine Baggott's voice whispered in my head and so I kept SPF'd up and face out of the rays!! St.Christopher's Place is where I go on my birthday for crepes,weird to see it so quiet but glad that people are staying safe. Keep up the good work and I.m sure all of your KZbin family hope that all three of you keep safe and well xxx

Loving your blogs Jo, and you're always so upbeat. Your Mum is so sweet, too. Its great you still can go to work and keep some routine. I like the natural look on you, as we're all embracing! Where did you get your nice hairband, it would tame my hair. Keep well, Jo. xx

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

little shop in Marylebone which is now closed. x

[@helenomara8481]

I loved your walk through St Christopher's Pl. I lived in London from Australia in the early 90's & I loved that find. Made my work lunchtimes fab.

[@BadPhotographer]

Love a bit of Michelle Collins....FABULOUS xxx

[@samszczepanski6513]

It was such a treat to see a bit of sunny W1... I’m really missing my after work strolls from Soho to Waterloo, calling in at favourite haunts along the way, perhaps at Zédel for their yummy goat’s cheese and beetroot salad. I know it will pass but at the moment I can’t imagine a time when I’ll fancy the West End crowds again, much less a tube carriage. Thanks for the much needed reconnection, Jo. 🙏 x PS Your hair looks great.

[@johannacollins1130]

Oo Filipe you have a nice voice!

[@filipe_oliv]

Jo Collins thank you! :)
