MOVING HOUSE!! AND CHARLIE'S CAR ACCIDENT....

[@HappyNonna4]

No biggie. Family member moving to Cotswolds and Charlie slid his defender into the side of muddy road and had to be towed. Everyone is fine.

[@camilamenezes3073]

I’ve followed you and Charlie for At least 4 years now and it’s so lovely to see you using Brazilian music in your video. The bossa nova during your gardening portion was a breath of fresh air for me and as a proud Brazilian myself I feel the love! ❤

[@indi7466]

am i the only one who adores the fact Josie can do gardening in a white jumper... fabulous.

[@TERRISELLSROCKFORD]

I have been thinking that for weeks.

[@Esh486]

I don't even eat a meal with a white shirt on, I'm way too clumsy 😂

George and Petra are lucky to have such generous friends/family. How lovely it will be to have them close!

[@togood4u1]

I love listening to Charlie. He tells the best stories. You two are made for each other. I just love your love.

[@fionaseager3940]

How nice having George & Petra near by. It’s great being able to help family or friends get set up in new homes. Xxxx

[@bellavanlaarhoven]

Dear Josie, I’m so happy Charly is ok and that you’re getting even more family close to you. It warms my heart. To be honest my favourite vlogs are of you gardening and spending time in the greenhouse. Could watch those vlogs for 90min or more. 😅😂 it truly fills my heart with joy to see all the seedlings and feel all the relaxation. 💗 so my Josie home vlogs are in my opinion the best!

[@erindaly]

Oh my goodness, I’m literally drooling over your sweet holiday cottage. You’ve both done an incredible job of creating a space that is gorgeous whilst being approachable. Well done!!

[@dellareeves473]

Love the way you do you gardening with a cream jumper and pearl earrings you are a breath of fresh air I love your blogs and Charlie is great thank you x

[@ulrichweber5215]

Josie, it's so heartwarming to see how close your family is. Having your mom on the estate, your brother in law and Petra being 20 min from you

[@lynseycobden203]

@@annecampbell9236 I suppose it depends on what your definition of country house is. Probably small within its price bracket but definitely larger than average houses in the area (I live near there). You’re right though, it’s definitely not an estate.

[@KariTSays]

How wonderful that you have your family moving close by. Nothing more important, enjoy each other and have many happy memories.

[@bikerandspice3706]

I’m loving your music! People always associate relaxation, our Countryside with classical. I adore Classical music- but there’s so much FUN in our English Countryside and beauty to be enjoyed. Thank you for keeping it upbeat and deliciously fabulous!! And Charlie really needs a regular Cooking slot/ channel!! Please!! 🌿

[@dalefriesen8676]

Josie, your working visit to Oman was both intriguing and enchanting! And Jo Malone is such a wonderfully inspiring mentor!

[@xoxo_nathalie9739]

I'd love to stay one day at the Straw Top Cottage. It would be nice to come with my mom, since she is obsessed with the English country side (coming from Germany) and never has been. Your cottage with all the charme and amenities would be perfect. And as a long time viewer of yours, it'd be amazing for me to finally see the cotswolds and the renovation you've done in the cottage in real life. Much love from Germany

[@ProfSaraHsu]

I'd be interested in a Charlie podcast of shopping/sourcing different items, like food, antiques, etc.

[@heavenj7]

Yes yes yes ! Me too! He’d be great at that!!

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Sorry to hear about Charlie's car 🚗 accident and I'm glad to hear that he's OK!

Congrats to George and Petra moving to the Cotswolds! So glad Charlie is okay from his car accident. Yes to a Charlie Irons podcast! Can’t believe guests would leave Strawtop Cottage in that state, so disrespectful. Lovely content as usual Josie! 💖

[@ktrp20]

This was such a lovely video, you've done so well with the cottage, it's perfect! I especially love the banter between you and Charlie. He's a gem! x

[@newfoundland3030]

I needed to pause the vlog, Stawtop Cottage is stunning. I followed its transformation, and the little touches are stunning. So warm and cosy, and authentic. I just adore when you and Charlie do your chats on the vlog, its adoreable. I also love the fact that you have another cottage in the works.Watching your tranformation, both in style and interiors is so lovely and authentic to the area . Charlie should do styling as another job! Your gardening passion has bought back my joy of gardening and started sowing my seeds again last year, all thanks to you. The kindness and manners you and Charlie show have brought great joy to me. Thank you Thank you. I hope you and yours will have a wonderful Easter weekend🌷🌷

[@helenalexander2567]

So pleased Charlie is ok x Josie I’m so sorry for the negative experience at strawtop I do not understand people. When I stay in a cottage I always clean it thoroughly; hoovering dusting etc I always strip the beds too just to save the owners/ cleaners time. I think it’s the least one can do after a lovely stay. I hope to stay at Strawtop very soon xxxxx

[@janelem3448]

a bit extreme as part of what you pay is for cleaning service, definitely one should leave a Airbnb or hotel room reasonably tidy and clean but no need for what you seem to do.

[@helenalexander2567]

@Bay Leaf Thanks Bay, it’s lovely to know I’m not alone xx

[@dionnevoller2903]

My hubby often dusts and vacuums the cottages we’ve stayed in while we are there and before we leave - we never even leave a dirty mug etc 🤣🤣🤣 and we strip beds too.

[@valerierichardson6457]

I would most definitely watch Charlie’s cooking channel or blog I love his stories

[@midwestlakelife]

Charlie has inspired me today to trim my flowering trees and bushes. Thank you Charlie! You make us laugh!

The cottage looks amazing! I loved going through the whole Reno and decor with you guys. It’s beautiful ❤❤

As a young man, I want to say THANK YOU, JOSIE. Now I know what type of wife I need. Now I know that I must find Josie 2.0🔥

[@darcieeve]

WOW! cant believe someone would leave an airbnb like that. thats so sad for you guys:( especially when you spent so long making it as beautiful as it is

[@Sky47467]

Have you bought the cottage across from Strawtop as your next rental? Wondering why you were trimming the plant across from Strawtop if it isn’t yours?

[@helenaesteves862]

The best part of this video is that you chose Brazilian Bossa Nova as your gardening background music. I'm Brazilian and it is so good to know that our music is known in the UK.

[@beverleyroberts1025]

I would listen to Charlie's passionate about cooking podcasts. I make scrambled eggs by cracking them into a frying pan and only moving the whites around when they start to go opaque. When the whites are scrambled I pierce the yolks last. And you get a lovely eggy marbled scrambled eggs! Yum! 😋🥚🐣 x

[@denisedoran8734]

Charlie is so funny with his scrambled eggs techniques and his buying antiques, just love him

[@janacabana1]

Josie Darlin, you’re a good partner…….cooperating with Charlie like you did when he asked you to trim & fertilize those hydrangeas 😊. My husband & I are coming up on our 55th anniversary, and it takes willingness to work together (even when we may not prefer it😐) to “go the distance”. You are a treasure💗💕💖💓💝

[@susanojohnson6445]

QOTD: Josie darling, who is the "music maestro"? I am requesting a playlist from at least the last 6mos of vlogs!!! I can imagine your music choices playing in the background during a number of different events, chores or just chillin' with a beverage & a book 🤗😘💕

[@hannahtran8912]

Charlie has so many antiques packed into that garage that you could open your own shop.

[@eileenchang2173]

Charlie has a seriously and expensive addiction.😂 I think he wanted to get Josie to prune so she didn’t discover anything else that he purchased that she is not aware of😂!

[@rubyl3980]

Hey Josie - pls do a Charlie Irons cooking segment! Could be a regular once a month episode!😊

[@autumnlynch2655]

So happy for you & Charlie, having family close now. Thanks for the fun gardening videos, Josie. You make me so eager to get out in the garden. It will be a while before I'm able to here in Utah, it snowed yesterday! Also, I'd really enjoy watching Charlie's channel. He can talk on so many subjects & is really entertaining. :)

hahah Charlie is literally my mother in law. love it!!!! best things, too much of it and always trying to give it away lol. Love her. Love your cottage it is beautiful

[@trudiegordon6327]

Euphorbia usually seeds itself and you see lots of new shoots coming up. What are you going to have in your flower picking garden? Delphiniums and foxgloves and hollyhocks are delightful along with cornflowers and daisies. I expect a wedding theme this year and the excitement of that.

[@louiselill1528]

First time I have seen the cottage and its absolutely beautiful anyone who stays will not want to leave . I have Charles love for furniture it's hard to choose when you can get so many beautiful pieces

I love the new area rug at Straw Top Cottage. It’s so colorful and brightens up the room. I think it actually makes the room appear larger. You and Charlie have excellent taste and both your homes benefit from it! Someday I hope to visit the Cotswolds and stay in your adorable cottage.

Sorry but that's a ridiculous price. Think of the holidays you could take abroad for 2 weeks for less than that. For a lot of people that would cover 2-3 months of rent or mortgage. 😳 For the vast majority of people that is completely unaffordable and sounds like a rip off. Doubt they are getting many bookings at those rates.

I have another scrambled egg technique for Charlie! you basically sit a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler. Drop a couple of eggs in and add a pinch of salt. Whisk!!! Don't stop whisking until you are left with a beautiful silken "curd." I even have a special whisk for the job - the brand of whisks is Best, and its their Standard French Whip. these eggs are honestly so creamy and silky xx
