EXPLORING THE PRETTIEST SPOTS IN THE COTSWOLDS // Spring Dress Try On & Flower Pressing 🌱🤍

[@rkp5137]

Josie, your videos are getting more beautiful as time goes on. I enjoy them very much!

[@JosieIrons]

That’s exceptionally kind thank you!

[@gracepatterson4983]

I'm loving the changes you are making to your videos; the shots over the countryside and your house and garden set to music are so relaxing. I have been following you for years and have literally not missed a video! Thank you for continuing to make such wonderful content x

[@JosieIrons]

Wowee thank you so so much!

[@MyshelLeAnn]

Completely Agree!

[@emilywood7218]

I could watch this intro all day, so peaceful. What a blessing to live in such a stunning place 🤍

[@Lyuoe56]

You and Charlie are killing it with the incredible content Josie. Your dedication and hard work are truly admirable. I also loveee how your instagram accounts are constantly updated with so much content, yours, Charlies, your house, the cottages and even Dexter and Dickens haha. You then have youtube and tik tok. And not to mention the amount of work and time in the garden. You’re both inspirational, living life to the fullest while working hard at the same time. It doesn’t go unnoticed, and I had to say it.

[@JosieIrons]

Oh my gosh so kind thank you!!!

[@loislyons3724]

The pressed flowers are so lovely. I could imagine them in a frame with a lovely colored card stock. 🌸🌿

[@eileenchang2173]

Hi Josie, I found that you’ve really ‘upped your game’ with your videos - they have become so peaceful with the right balance of ‘dialogue’ and scenery, accompanied by beautiful music. 🎶🎹🥰🇨🇦

[@sahmryder6666]

Dear Josie, just wanting to say that I am new to your channel but I am so inspired. Whilst I have only been scribed for approximately a month, so far you have inspired me to make broths from my vegetable scraps and bones to make weekly soups (which I now take for work lunches), use LED lighting as part of my beauty routine and now I am planning a herbaceous border for the front of our house. Thank you so much. I am enjoying your channel.

[@bengtsson0019]

Why did this intro make me well up and close my eyes and think of my dad falling from the stars with open arms and say ‘ I’m home’. Beautiful as always Josie 😘

[@gretchenhejazi9463]

Such a beautiful opening to this lovely video. The music is so appropriate for the scenery. Great work!

[@lorrainewells3844]

Absolutely fabulous. The weather makes everything shine and grow. Flower pressing is a real art and such a pleasure to reward one’s hard work. Beautiful dress wear. The garden is fabulous. Love the artwork. Such special thoughtful moments in putting a personal touch to a wonderful warm welcoming environment. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@madelinehaynes8671]

Josie could you if you haven't already a beginner's guide to gardening. I'm new to it and would like to know all the basics to help me become amazing at gardening like you ✨🌳💐

[@Ann-xv7fw]

The pressed flowers are beautiful…you should frame them and put them up in your Strawtop Cottages!!

[@sueburkhalter8045]

LOVE THE ART, Charlie! Especially the Cotswold Lions!!

[@abundantlyinspired]

The clothing, the scenery, the music, the food..... every one of your vlogs is a mini movie😍🥰😍😘I'm absolutely such a fan!!!! PS the portrait of Dexter and Dickens is perfect!

[@beverleyroberts1025]

The linen dress looks beautiful on you Josie, perfect colour for you, very flattering.x 🌸🌼🌸🌿

[@katrinaandtheways3036]

What a sky in the intro! And those green fields! In German you would say "Natur-Spektakel" 🔝🌳🌳

[@sydneykasmar]

Thanks for showing the Wisteria - the flower really is gorgeous.

[@bmarshall4175]

I loved your flower pressing and how many flowers you can get in the press. My partner and I pressed flowers three weeks before his unexpected passing and sadly the flowers were misplaced so I never got to see/ keep them but I think that your press is so lovely to capture the beauty of what is created in our gardens so I may take that step and buy a press. Love the spring dresses

[@Frusshan40]

Those pressed flowers are art. Frame them and you could have a wall of botanical art. Wonderful vlog 🌸🩷

[@camuchanomellini903]

The piano back ground music while in your green house was so lovely 🩷🩷🩷

[@katrinaandtheways3036]

Dickie & Dexie are definitely the true the only the ultimate roaring Lions of the Cotswolds 😅😅🐕🐕 # often imitated never duplicated. They are so funny, I love them!

[@alexandrabeicht4512]

Oh, your garden looks so lovely❣️🌷🌳 And the scenery on your roadtrip ...so beautiful! The dining spot looks really tempting...such a lovely spot for a nice easy dinner with friends and family while the sun is going down.❤

[@ann-mariesadler8812]

Love your videos, as always. The music in them is so beautiful too. Your garden is looking so great, the wisteria is stunning. xx

[@debbytownsend2907]

Beautiful dresses….beautiful garden….. 🌸 I do think you should let Farmer Gracie now of the problem as I was talking to someone earlier this week who ordered some hostas and the root system was basically attached to two dead leaves, she also mentioned it’s not the first time so I think they need to be aware of your issues too. Thank you for another relaxing vlog x

[@dsmith9796]

Another beautiful video, you are so blessed to live where you do - I would gladly leave my home along the coast of South Carolina and move to the Cotswolds tomorrow if I could, Please keep sharing as I've been a faithful viewer for about 4 years.

[@cathmcclean]

I love watching your gardening segments 😍 could you tell how you prevent snails/slugs bugs etc from eating and damaging your garden? please , im going crazy in my garden Thankyou in advance xxx

[@beautycfw]

I got tonnes of bare roots from Farmer Gracy this year, probably around 50 and a good 10 haven’t shown any signs of life / have died away completely. I’m gutted too! Be keen to hear if you do get in touch with them.

[@sarahcampbell3012]

The intro to this video was amazing!!

[@user-je7xo3vz6j]

i loved hearing the sheep in the background, so cute❤🐑

[@AishaMyLove]

Love the vlog 🤍 The drone footage looks beautiful 💕🌼

[@joannetwaddle4662]

Pressed flowers look fantastic!! Definitely put up on the wall

[@leilariley936]

It's very difficult to make a choice Josie;you look truly sensational in all those dresses!!! I think they're all ''Josie Dresses'....which I might add:coincidentally matches her garden!!!As always; truly delightful,thank you my dear Josie!!👗👗🏡💚

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Gorgeous spring dresses 👗 😊💕💕

[@juliewells4282]

The Cotswolds Lions art piece is so cute! 😊

[@user-wp2st5zt1n]

Hey Josie - I also had a fail with bare root salvia from FGracy…I soaked them beforehand too. So sadly not just you! 🤷‍♀️Also have 2 slow dahlia…best of luck!!

[@katiethriveshine]

Ooh flower pressing! Yet to watch the vlog, but love the art of flower pressing so much! Need some pistachio snacks and a chai tea to settle in to watch this vlog!

[@calvinliu6304]

Hello Josie, Good afternoon hope you doing good and hope you have a great day

[@ElliesMods]

Would you feel more comfortable if you shortened the straps on the wisteria dress?

[@zentrikotcie4421]

Josie for your pesto but in the freezer...i keep mine there in a bag and i take what i need all year long :)

[@karenramosuk]

I was very interested in your comment about your salvia’s from Farmer Gracie not doing anything. I bought a number of bare root perennials from them, planted them upon arrival and several have done nothing. My dahlias from them have also been slow . They look as advanced as yours so maybe that’s normal . I really can’t remember from previous years. Maybe I’m more inpatient this year. Love the videos. I find great relaxation in them ❤

[@caroletugwell6165]

Dress number three, looks stunning on you Josie. What a beautiful Garden you have, can't wait to see when in full bloom.

[@jackyausten4737]

I had 3 dahlias from farmer gracey that did nothing , didn’t think to ask for a refund but may message them now , found Sarah raven better this year. Jx

[@joannetwaddle4662]

We are in autumn in Victoria Australia and its the dryest and warmest we have had stunning time of year. Days are very enjoyable

[@tinacarrol6702]

Josie Loving Your Garden Videos. Your So Far On Than Other Influences In There Garden. Your Doing A Brilliant job. Xx 😁😊

[@janeturner7938]

Josie those beautiful little pansies or viola’s in your greenhouse seem to have lasted forever. By the way you look beautiful in the cream tab side dress.👍😊

Really enjoyable episode!I hope to get another J&C time for this Victoria Kong weekend. Lovely flower 🌷 press! Great spring idea. Lovely dresses too! 🙏❤️👠👠Xo J

[@PThiruvoth]

Drone footage is so beautiful. You don't have to wear ill fitted clothes even if you are advertising those . The dresses are amazing but needed some alterations to fit your body like you mentioned. What a gorgeous wisteria ❤to have in your garden .

[@gailbourne4506]

Hi Josie I love the wisteria dress the best. Loving your videos. Thank you so much.xx

[@sohoantiquesirl6417]

Josie, I would recommend that you contact Farmer Gracy and let them know that some of your Plant purchases were not entirely successful. I’m a small Business Owner and My personal preference is for Customers to come back to me with any complaints as I would rather work with the Customer to resolve the issue, offer a Refund or Replacement item rather than have an Unhappy Customer who won’t want to return again and who won’t recommend my Business to others.

[@bikerandspice3706]

May I ask where the flower press is from , please? Do you have a link? Many thanks. I’m in the Staffordshire Countryside and this has inspired me!

[@susanojohnson6445]

Hello Josie... WRT the Salvia I'd contact the company & ask for tips on what you can do to boost the germination of your seedlings? They may have an inside track on helping them along Or they may offer to replace them 😊

[@traceyrose4894]

I’d not worry about no show dahlias yet - it’s been so cold, mine haven’t appeared yet either. It’s still early & they’ll catch up when it’s consistently warmer x

[@newmercies1]

Josie your videos are the loveliest and you seem like a very beautiful person in and out. But if I could give an advice to anyone these days it would be this: The only place we can ever find our true lasting peace is close to God, close to our Lord Jesus. Make an effort to reconcile with the Lord people, know Him and repent for all you have done wrong in your life, for all the people you have hurt, for all the times you knew better but you didn't follow your better judgement that came from God. Distance yourself from people that you know are not good for you, ask God to help you to get free from addictions and pray, pray with humility for forgiveness. The Lord showed me that "It's Time" - time to wake up from all the lies the society tells you, time to get back to your Father, your Maker and ask Him to come to your life like never before. He loves you - He is waiting for you.. And while all the beauty, clothing, and treasures this Earth can offer you, they are only temporary and they will not give you the lasting happiness you are looking for. What you are looking can only be found with God. Stay well, stay blessed!

Your home is a dream your garden beautiful and you are one of the loveliest people on here. Everything you wore was lovely, that third dress was dreamy on you ! Except those white trousers, they were so unflattering on you. 🫤 I do apologise for saying that, I don’t like negative comments, but I wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t mention it. You have so many gorgeous trousers that accentuate your lovely curves.

[@doyenmcintosh1732]

Suggest you look at Rosie Brooks, artist. She is so wonderful, funny, jest great…and, lives in London!

Hi Josie!! Congratulations on your videos, I love the Karen Millen green embroidered dress, what size are you? I would like to order it, just to have an idea, I am from Spain so sizes are different, thank you very much!!

[@Sarasamyavlogs]

wow, your vlogs are beautiful!

[@janpowell7536]

The pressed hellebores are beautiful .. do you use blotting paper or plain flat paper ? What a coincidence I bought some Salvia from Farmer Gracy & mine haven’t sprung up yet either & I soaked them 6 hours in water as instructed but here’s hoping, try putting straw over your Dalia’s in the winter to protect from frost .. yes I would ask for money back from Farmer Gracy I’ve read a few reviews where people have said there plants didn’t thrive, help keep him on top of his game.

[@eileenchang2173]

Hi Josie, I love artwork that is personal or meaningful. I think those beautifully pressed flowers should be framed as you suggested and perhaps a couple of them go into Strawtop cottage as well as your own greenhouse! ( Mother’s Day in 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸was on May 12. )I also think the “ Cotswolds Lions” should be in your own home as that is a very personal picture! 🥰❤️🇨🇦

[@kimberlysantos4085]

[@shalliwell5879]

Interesting! Some of the bare root perennials I bought from FG haven’t come up either. I thought maybe i’d done something wrong but i’m thinking maybe not given your experience too.

Josie you should do Country file I'm loving your videos and as I'm going to Cornwall tomorrow you have inspired me to do flower pressing of the hedgerows. More please very interesting and a nice voice to listen to. Some people's videos are so squeaky voices,I can't watch them. 😊

[@user-sh2zg8qv2f]

@josie Please could you share where Charlie's fantastic tee shirt is from?

[@christelthompson3388]

These intros and interludes are like Vlogmas in May. They certainly provide (different,but) as much joy! 🤍 P.S. Loved the tour of pit kitchen. It was like the Cotswold version of a ranch. Very fitting with your little Texas hold’em singalong at the beginning there, Josie 😅

[@terridoyle8056]

With your love of grounding/earthing (I do too) have you ever thought that the reason so many doggies are just joyful and happy is because they ground all the time? Bare paws on the grass, the sandy beach, the meadows and fields?

[@JosieIrons]

Absolutely!!!!!!

[@NoName-rx9lo]

What is the name of the edible flower? Love your content ❤️❤️

[@user-iz6un8qv3f]

Maybe share with the people that sold you the tubers that they haven’t grown. They probably would like to know. A gentle way of asking for a refund. 😊 Love the dresses and flowers 😊

[@eileenchang2173]

I have done that with a grower in Canada and they replaced it twice but I still got full refund. I had the proof and wanted to mail it back to them but they declined. For my other tubers and bare roots they were good. Not everything is 100%.🇨🇦

[@Shopaholic2000]

Don't know where you bought them from but most garden centres will happily replace a plant that fails upto in a year. You're a bit miffed with Charlie of course you're not obsessed with white dresses, dresses, fitness gear, bags...💜

Hi Josie Honestly this is the 1st time i have seen clothing on you that i do not think fits well on you, the white trousers and the dress, it is crumpled at your bust area and does not show your lovely curves, and the trousers just do nothing to accentuate your shape, you suit jeans better and other white trousers you have shown were lovely on you.
