SETTLING INTO NEW HOME | WEEKLY VLOG

How ever much it’s costing… I made the right decision. I’m loving my new home! You all missed seeing Mutti so there is even a clip of her on the way to the hairdresser! Enjoy!

Matilda’s worried face when you got back out of the car.... bless her, she’s so happy sitting there between you and Mutti.

[@rosiew8-fenn]

I love to see Mutti! You brighten up my Sunday. The weather dictates my mood too! I hate winter. Absolutely love your new flat! You are radiant xx

[@chicnoir29]

The shot of the your mom, you and Mitilda tucked in the middle on the way to the salon gave me a laugh.

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

Im so pleased I have it as she is no longer with me x

[@Wendy-fi7yb]

So appealed to my childish sense of humour seeing you all masked up in the car with Matilda overseeing the situation 💕

[@elisabethdavis5882]

You looked beautiful in the last shot, the outfit and makeup were stunning. The way Mutti talks to Matilda is adorable 💕

[@AnnikaDacke]

As an avid yogini I would absolutely love to hear as much as possible about Mutti's career as a yoga teacher! How did she get into yoga and who did she teach? What styles? What are her best recommendations for living a yogic life? I'm dying to know, as I have never talked to an elderly yoga teacher. I love your content Jo, and will definitely discover Marylebone when we are all able to travel again (I live in Sweden). Pleasa show us more interesting shops and places around London, paired with your stories. You are one of my set of feelgood channels. Have you watched Karen Britchick? I think you would love her "What people are wearing in New York right now" It's made with such heart and passion, and I imagine if anyone could do a similar thing it would be you :-) You are a story teller, as am I. I enjoy nothing more than a good story. Lots of love from Sweden

[@alisondolton5603]

Love the smell of a hardware shop. They used to wear a brown overall coat. Fork handles!

[@jennybolter1102]

Four candles lol

[@lyndathorpe280]

We have one on my village in Lancashire and we say exactly the same. If they don’t sell it there it’s not worth having!

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

I immediately thought of that sketch when Jo purchased the plug; he has a bathroom plug on his list too! 😂 I need to go watch that now.

[@pippareid1894]

"3 Go Riding In The Car" like a comedy show sequence! Your mum is lovely!

[@annawilliamson934]

Love your flat and the fact that you appreciate it... after living in such a small flat before..good for you. I sincerely hope you can afford to live there FOREVER ❤️... I think the chair needs love... even a nice big throw, perhaps a fun fur for winter... you’re spirit is infectious...so positive. We are celebrating Thanksgiving here in Canada this weekend... you’d love it. Stay well, 🤗 from Anna 🇨🇦

[@Miss1Trisha]

The burning question is ............ did the plug fit? 😂😂😂 It is really lovely to see you so happy and content in your new home, wishing you many, many happy years there. I think the reupholstered sofa is going to look fab in that spot. Have a great week Jo xx

[@ds7675]

This was quite the comedy filled vlog. I had a good laugh at Elisa saying, “I’ve got no taste or smell,” and then the hustle-bustle of getting you, Matilde, and your mom in the car only to realize the house door was open. Brilliant! 😂

[@joannaatkinson875]

It was lovely to see Mutti going to the hairdressers, her coat is lovely too. Your flat looks really spacious. I love your pink dungarees! I just bought some blue denim ones, I hope they look as good as your ones do in you! Have a good week xx

[@annettalatham5437]

where did you ladies get your dungarees from

[@joannaatkinson875]

Annetta Latham I got mine from Next.. online. 😊

[@mareeschollum2986]

I laughed so much when you said you now have moved from looking like your mother to looking like your grandmother! ‘Time is on our side. ‘No, it ain’t Mick! Happens to us all. 🤭

[@susantomes6721]

You are a ray of sunshine, and Mutti and Matilda are just lovely. You all make us happy.

[@Kelsbels15]

Just started watching the video but had to comment....that opening shot of you all in the car was adorable! 💖

[@michellehughes1537]

I love it when you film Mutti and Maltida in the car, they are my favourite scenes. Please do more. A fabulous vlog.

[@suefitz-john1433]

Well Jo, I think that the old building that houses your flat is so much more characterful than the “rich” apartments in Chiltern Place. They don’t look very attractive at all looming over the little Marylebone Park!

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

Totally agree x

I just discovered you Jo and I couldn’t be happier! I truly love your vlogs. You are inspiring! Keep going! Annalisa ❤️

[@lihayes5046]

Jo, it's lovely to see the relationship you have with your mother! And she, like you, is so sunny. Give a cuddle to Matilda for us all and I look forward to seeing you midweek. Your videos are allowing me to see another part of the world and they help to keep my spirits up during this pandemic. Thank you, Jo!

[@essentiallyann2650]

OMG A CAR SCENE!!!!!!! Settling in to watch, but this video is winning already ❤️

[@nancynoo]

Lovely to see your Mum again xxx

[@christineburke4785]

Glad you're happy in the new flat. Lovely to see Mutti in her mask 💕 xx

[@SandraVLewis1]

Love the way Matilda is watching you make your breakfast.

[@fionawillsher2891]

Lovely to see you three in the car. Warms my heart. Have a lovely week. X

[@dori1425]

Matilda too funny she can get quite territorial with her spot in the car, under protest she let your mother sit there. And your mother is such a sweetheart a lovely lady indeed. 🍂🍁💛

[@abacus299]

You look radiant in the last clip - the new flat is clearly doing you the world of good. Love the trilby!

[@MsSam66ok]

I just get so happy when I view your vlogs! So happy you love your new flat. ❤️

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

thankyou x

[@dawnbeveridge2262]

Honestly, you and Mutti in the car are the best tonic! Your videos never fail to cheer me up - thank you ❤️

[@sheilapearce8561]

Another fab vlog, Jo.....You are so lucky to have your Mum....Ordinary, extraordinary days

[@marigoldcarter618]

The flat is adorable. That pink pinafore is awesome. Everything will work out Jo. Hugs to Matilda and Mutti! 💞

[@julietpowell1496]

Oh my goodness......those few seconds with Mutti and Tild were precious xxxx

[@TheRayjane]

Love your new flat ....Jo ! I noticed it has a beautiful window like your other flat...that I called the Peter Pan window. Your mom is looking well, Shes adorable bless her soul. You are a good daughter. I love your outfit at the end of the video and your skin is looking bright and glowing ❤️

[@gimmeahugnow]

I'm working my way through all your videos. I absolutely love them x

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

yhankyou x

[@Veronikabp63]

I love the fact that Phillip keeps your bloopers in. So pleased Webster's is still in Business.

[@MegMerrilies]

So many laughs. Loved the chat about Hunter and seeing Mutti was lovely x

[@nicolatweedle7509]

Flat looks lovely with your artwork and things in. So lovely to see you mum again! Matilda is so funny and very cute ❤️

[@n.j.rihari813]

Oh Tilly look at that face...LOL sitting right in the midst of everything this girls an absolute trick😊

[@paulapinter4282]

Nice to see your Mum. You look happy in your new place.

[@bethalaksa9104]

Happy Sunday, Jo! All is right with the world....Matilda and your Mum are back! Love seeing how you are settling into your new home.

[@carlkruger2972]

Love your new flat...you are so happy and I am happy for you. Wonderful to see the family together. Muti looks so well. Big kiss from me. Thanks Jo you are the best.

[@georgialewis7846]

It's so lovely to see your mum, I've really missed her 😍😍😍

[@vickiecloud7976]

I’m glad you’re bringing the sofa but what about the flowered love seat. I hope you’re bringing that in also. Your new flat is lovely.

[@karenmorrisonjewellery]

Aww, so happy for you Jo in your new one bedroom flat.... It's lovely! Loved the car share with your mum and Tild, laughing so much. Xx

[@christinasmyth5674]

That hat looks amazing on you 🌞

[@jrichardson1230]

Had the pleasure of visiting Marylebone this week. Can see why you love living there....a village feel right in the heart of London!

[@sandiecavendish9722]

So pleased that you're loving your flat, Jo. The light in there looks great, and you are looking really lovely and well.

[@cristinacalderon4543]

It was so nice to see mum again, she is so sweet🥰

[@ralphiesmom]

The sun dictates my mood, too. Luckily we’ve had gloriously crisp and sunny autumn days here in Virginia this whole week. So good to see Mutti! She’s so tiny that the seatbelt covers part of her face. ❤️ Jo, I agree that you mustn’t cover the deconstructed Brighton chair. I love it like that. You should swap places with your other armchair so people can see the fabulous back of it when they walk in. It’s like an art piece. Have a great week. 🕺

[@judyfalkner1086]

You are looking fabulous in pink Jo and your flat is looking great It's been a lovely day here in Barnet and I'm shattered as decided to dig the garden!!! I expect I will have trouble walking tomorrow but I don't really care, it was just great to be outside after all the rain. Keep well ☺️

[@ljh3732]

Loved the blog today Jo! You are such fun and full of positivity. You seem so much happier since you moved into your new flat xxx

[@christineconnell4114]

Great vlog Jo. Lovely to watch on a Sunday evening. Your mums a lovely lady. Really enjoyed this x😁

[@tluxe6135]

That bit in the car was funny, it reminded me of one of the reasons winter is not a fave, squishing into the car with Michelin man coats, hats and now masks, and a bit with a dog....you're gaining in strength, that apartment is yours, and winter there will be great.

[@paulap7386]

I know Jo, when the weather starts to get colder and grey makes me wonder why I live where I do lol, hugs from Calgary , Canada. I read this just this week and I know you will like it. " There are two types of people in the world, those who think the world is getting worse , and those who think the world is going to get better, Who would you rather hang out with ? "Hugs to you . Keep reminding yourself that you deserve what your heart loves.

[@laias.855]

I love your new flat,perfect choice, have a new week,enjoy every single minute ,❤️from Athens.

[@SevenDaysofStyleNY]

Hi Jo! So glad to see you and your Mum off for a day. I'm glad she's well and please give her my best! You looked fabulous as always... at the end, I loved the black and pink combo. Stay well, hugs to you all. xo Jan

[@leoj2319]

Great seeing Mutti 😊😊, just love the way she speaks to Matilda.. Can’t wait to see the upholstered sofa xxx

[@paulineballam5945]

Hi Jo .. you look fab, love the pink with the bows 👌, I think the new flat is making you look a bit glowy/ and youthful ... loved this video, have a relaxing Sunday, Pauline x

[@mummysunshine6593]

Jo, I love you! You cheer my heart with every single thing you share! ❤️🌿❤️ love Jackiex

[@fionapridmore9566]

Just back from a walk around York where I live. Cup of coffee and your Sunday vlog. Keep ‘em coming Jo! So nice to see three of you in the car again. Multi is an inspiration 🌼

[@deborahvaneman2713]

I just found your vlogs the other day. Your such a joy to watch. I love your new home and wish you much peace and happiness there.

[@emmamc2811]

Love your trip to the hairdressers. Matilda is so funny my dog does that she tries to take the seat she feels is her’s. X

[@michellemears6127]

Enjoy the flat please Jo - none of us know what is around the corner, so take pleasure in the now ! Love punctuating the week with both yourself and Simon Lycett, thank you for getting us through this uncertain time - Take care x

[@roberthardy7781]

Fantastic vlog Jo , I expected your mum to start talking on the video when you went to close for front door. You lol so happy in your new place it shines through. Glad I have had some giggles to end the week. You work colleagues are fab as well cracked me up . I had a lovely walk through Wanstead today before it gets even colder. Positive thoughts to all for this week as it’s not looking good. 😘

[@johnkirby-shearer2242]

Hi Jo, can I suggest you get a large piece of fabric or a throw and put it over your chair. A lovely colour will go with your newly covered sofa. Looking forward to seeing the finished article.

[@margymullins67]

Jo...please explain the British caregiver role. Lovely seeing Mutti, your kitchen and black & rose combo. Your colors🤗

[@pomme800]

Love the distressed armchair❣️I had noticed it before when you sat in it in your Mum's garden ...lovely and quirky and simply interesting 🪑🎈🛋

[@paulamilo3949]

Jo you look so happy and rested! What a great place to work and your co-workers are so much fun! Wonderful to see Mutti and Matilda, they also look great. Have a good week Jo, I’m going try and be positive!❤️xx

[@janelowe7794]

What a delish vlog! So love seeing your darling Mutti and Matilda. And adore your new flat! x

[@fionamcdonagh655]

Fun vlog Jo, love the hat 👒 Great seeing your mum(Mutti) looking so well. Artwork on your wall looks good👍

[@annaddison2130]

Really enjoyed again , lovely to see your Mum . Have a good week , Jo . 😀

[@RWhit774]

Great to see you 3 in the car again. Loved the video Jo! Take care👋🏼💗

[@shelliejerome4391]

I love you and your KZbin channel! Love seeing everywhere you go and all the adventures. I must say I am shocked by the lack of masks on the streets of London and in the BBC offices. I’m in the SF Bay Area and we wear masks every time we’re out and certainly around others.

[@lorettaweber8422]

Love the trilby hat, really suites you. Also you look lovely in the last shot, skin looks amazing. Xx

[@queens6583]

You look so hip in that brown hat and I love the walks through London. There' something about a hardware store that's magical because it sparks the imagination of the possibility of creating something, even if it's plugging a bathtub. I'm on the fence about the chair but maybe wait to see how it looks with the couch when it's done. Take your time to get a feel for your space. Seeing your mom is always wonderful for me because she looks so much like my mom ( who would have been 99 this year, but passed at 91). They could have been sister's. Jo, pinch the nose piece on her mask to protect her but it always will keep it from sliding up into her eyes. I'm tempted to buy the Pinch of Color product except I'm trying to use up so much stuff I already have so it will have to wait. Have a wonderful week and see ya Wed.

[@kimellis2912]

Hello Jo, I love your blog, you're so uplifting, positive and funny! Love your floral cushion as well, it's gorgeous. All best wishes!

[@claudettebertrand3791]

Just discovered you. Delightful. Made my morning.

[@alisonkuppusamy9085]

She’s brilliant isn’t she

[@sjsomer917]

I absolutely love seeing the three of you together. I'm going to try the "Pinch" Honey Glow stick. So glad that you introduced it last week. Btw, your skin looks great!

[@jetblack5115]

You always cheers me up...

[@carolinewilliams7797]

Lovely to see your mum! Xx

[@leezacarroll2250]

The plug and diy comment had me in stitches 🤣🤣 I don’t think you realise how funny you are. Keep doing these sort of vlogs and you’ll get so many subscribers that it’ll be no problem affording your lovely flat. Love from Australia 😁🌈

[@kiska1964]

Wonderful vlog Jo! I love your mask goes really well with your hat and coat. Was so good to see you with your Mutti , she always makes me laugh.

[@debrajohnson6678]

Omg loved seeing the three of you in the car! Like old times. ❤️. Love your new place, Jo. Stay safe and sassy! Love you! Debbie from. Seattle

[@kellyallen3692]

Good Morning from Alaska Jo-I love your whimsical personality/videos. You are a delight!

[@paulinehanna2001]

Oh, Jo, you’re such a hoot. Your laugh has me in rickets. What a fab team you work with too. Such good humour 😂

[@marchampson006]

Always good to see your mother and producer Elisa and glad your settling in your new flat onwards and upwards as they say Jo Marc in Bletchley Towers xx

[@christinerobertson]

Great to see your mum up and about Jo.

[@karenashworth4208]

Good morning...glad ur happy in ur new apartment and good to see ur mum...stay safe🌷🍂💐

[@dslatts5361]

Loving Matilda watching you unbox the advent Calendar . So pleased u r enjoy your new home. X

[@jeanjennings5712]

Darling Jo, I couldn't help but notice that Mutti is so tiny in your auto, that her seat belt is in a dangerous position up next to her neck. I believe she needs a seat belt adjusting clip, that, when applied, it lowers the cross-belt to it lays on her chest and shoulder, in a safer position. Please research this. We all love Mutti and want her to be safe! Thank you.

[@christinehodgson3826]

Love seeing the London walks and doesn’t your mum’s hair look good - and that’s pre the hairdresser visit. x

[@Italiana911]

Hi Jo, you can get a clip from Halfords, Amazon etc. for the seatbelt in the car. It’s ideal for shorter people, so that the belt is lowered, and therefore doesn’t go around their neck. I thought your Mum’s hair looked lovely pre Hairdressers too. x

[@CindyG-NYC]

Love your new home! We can tell you love it also; you look happy. 👱‍♀️💙 It seems like a palace when you walk from room to room😁

[@iolandaveziano3032]

Love you Jo! Brighten up my Sunday! You look fabulous! X

[@samszczepanski6513]

The sun definitely dictates my mood, too! Really enjoying your new flat and dreaming of separate sleeping quarters. Until that day... 😌🙏

[@donnajarvis9542]

I love Matilda. I love the simplicity of your decorating. Plus, love porridge!
