Simple Winter Pleasures ✨ Food, Books, and Gentle Changes

Yes to more bookish content! ❤🎉😅 Lovely video, so cosy.

[@Ann-dv2bd]

Loved this video Bethany, although I have to say that all of yours are lovely! I too am a bookworm. From my earliest years I found comfort in reading and now, at the ripe age of (almost) 78 years old, books are my refuge and a guilty pleasure! Why guilty? I don’t know why but after years of work I still feel that I should be doing something else instead of reading. I joined a reading group at my local library years ago. We meet up once a month and I absolutely love it. Best wishes to you and your lovely family….you are such a good Mum Bethany😊.

[@Alphabethany]

Thank you so much for your kind words-they really mean a lot to me! 💛 I love that reading has been a constant in your life! That library group sounds wonderful... it's something I would love to eventually get round to, finding a local book club. I think there are so many of us tucked away at home enjoying books 🥰

[@gaynorgrindle293]

Great video thank you! Loving your rambles😀you have beautiful books, the shelf looks fab👍and given me inspiration. Love from Wales UK x

[@vanessaarsenault9938]

Lovely! ❤🇨🇦 p.s. yes to books!

Lovely video! I'm not a fan of the long, dark winters here in Ontario, Canada either. It's been around -17 lately, but I get through them in exactly the same manner as you i.e. low lighting, fireplace lit, porridge, stews, (also curries, shepherd's pies, chili etc.), bouquets of flowers, but I throw in chocolate since it's good for my soul. Maybe not my hips, but I'll worry about that in the Spring, months from now! Thanks for posting.

I am a resident of Ontario, Canada and the cold weather I grew up with. I prefer it over scorching, unrelenting, hot summers, especially when we live in an apartment where temperatures are 82*F !!!!😢😢

[@d.d.mac.3773]

@@Karens-Collectibles Yikes! Don't you have central air?

[@Alphabethany]

Wow -17 is a whole new level of winter! Sound like you have the perfect plan though with all the hearty food (I've not done a Shepards Pie in a long time you might have inspired me!) 🥰 Thank you so much for watch xx

[@d.d.mac.3773]

@@Alphabethany Believe it or not, I live in the south of Ontario. I have a sister who lives in the north of the province and she's had -31. We joke that my winter is balmy. lol

[@Molly-iw8wd]

I would love more book content. And also more gardening content. Your garden is beautiful!

[@nadiabenhassine8398]

Tellement joli.....😍🙂

[@bethanyhavener5803]

I'm a big reader and loved hearing what you're reading and thinking about. Also, thanks for being brave and talking to the camera, even though I know you shared it pushes your comfort zone. Love seeing your face and hearing directly from you!

[@Alphabethany]

Thank you so much for saying that ❤️ Yes it's definitely out of my comfort zone, but I always love watching people talking to camera so I'm pushing myself. Thank you for taking the time to watch 🥰

[@tracycornfoot6078]

Love watching the shelf changes you do,I haven’t any shelves at home but I do change things around most days,it’s usually the dining table!!

[@MicheleYoung-w5s]

How lovely! Yes, more books and gardening. I feel the same about Winter reading. Like comfort food for the mind and emotions!❤

[@melaniefarman5541]

I love books so would love you to include more bookish content ❤ And adore your videos, they resonate and soothe my soul ✨

[@yanm6534]

Love your videos always! Books, recipes and gardening will be great! I enjoy always watching your vlogs. And your little one makes my day! So cute and adorable 🥰

[@KokoraLife]

Love the quiet moments you've captured.

[@beaumontpottery]

Still the best ! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. God bless you special and to keep your family healthy. Many friends here in the states are getting colds and the flu.

[@Alphabethany]

Hope it stays away from you both! Thank you for watching from your cosy pottery! 🥰

[@Fionayellow-jh4ec]

Hello from Toronto! Just came across your channel and I’m surprised you haven’t got more subscribers!!!! I love your calming videos.

[@kimcunningham2107]

Your videos soothe my soul.🥰❄️💙I agree... Books are Everything to me. I would love if you made videos regarding the books that bring you Joy. You ARE a light in this world, Bethany. 💖💕

[@Alphabethany]

Oh my goodness what a lovely thing to say 🥺 Thank you so much for taking the time to watch... so glad lots of people like yourself love books and would love book video 🥰

[@reganstandlick7520]

I love what you did with your hair. I am not very good at reading and eating at the same time. I love your rack for the laundry, once the one I have no longer works, I'd love one like that. I love the lipstick your wearing. It's always so calming watching your videos. soup is the way to go right now, so cold.

[@Alphabethany]

Thank you so much... I'm trying to try a few different up do (messy hair day) styles 🥰 Definitely going to make a big batch of soup this week. It always hits that wintery spot ❤️

[@cherylverber7672]

Great thing about a library book..how many people have touched it, been touched and enjoyed reading it.

[@claireelliott9195]

Really enjoyed your book content, I used to love reading when I was younger but I got out of the habit. I recently followed my heart with what I wanted to read and just let myself slowly get back into it. I also started a collection of books I like to read with interesting covers or antique books and I have really enjoyed searching them out. Your cut flowers were amazing last year, I was hoping you might share what you do. Xx

[@Alphabethany]

Thank you so much! It feels like putting on a old comfy pair of slippers when you get back into reading with a good book 🥰 Oh yes I definitely want to share some more cut flower stuff, though my Mum is where I get all my tips (and extra flowers) from xx

[@lucysky930]

Yes! Please do books in your videos. I love romantasy too and can relate to what you say. Also, I do agree on what you said in Lady of Darkness book two. I dnfed that book for the same reasons but she has a new series that’s supposed to be good. Might give that a try. Love your videos btw. 🤍

[@Alphabethany]

ooooh I will have to check out her new series!!! Yes I was so close to DNFing that one 🙈 Thank you so much for taking the time to watch 🥰

[@shelbycollier3586]

I love reading! But I do agree that sometimes it’s hard to find time. More book videos would be lovely!

[@stefaniebushell7205]

Bethany, I love your vlogs. I want to eat your food, you excel in making everything you make look utterly delish 😊

[@Auntie7024]

Lovely vlog. I enjoy reading, as well. If you would like to share what you are reading, that would be great. To me, books are quite cozy and give you a feeling of hygge. The changes you made to your bookshelf look wonderful. Your stew looked delicious. Perfect for a winter evening. Take care. See you again soon. ❤

Absolutely love your videos I watch them several times 💜 and would love some book content xxx

[@Alphabethany]

Oh thank you so much 🥰

[@Kay-lt3wx]

Beautiful video Bethany! I've recently discovered your channel and am in love! Thank you for all the hard work and intention you put into these videos! Also, what kind of music did you use for that end section with the stew making! I need that kind of music for making dinner every night! 😅🎉

[@dawnfisher2966]

Love watching you when you pop up on my feed. I always know i'm in for some beautiful video shots, accompanying background music, and inspiration all beautifully put together. Very relaxing with a cup of tea, Thank you!❤

[@Alphabethany]

Thank so much for watching... I'm so glad you are enjoying them 🥰 It's some Boogie Woogie I think the genre is. I've use a couple of this guys songs in my videos and I love the vibe! music.kzbin.info/aero/OLAK5uy_lkO7vuUQxWqrp1oE1v9hnMSOz15BCVwp0

Thursday Murder Club Mystery Series by Richard Osman is so FUN!

[@Alphabethany]

I've read and loved the first one... need to start the next one. Such a great bunch of characters 🥰

[@unciaciapanca]

Hi, we share a lot about books. I too love a good book during this time of the year and I also read on holidays. But my choices need to be light, to unwind a little bit. Nothing too serious, sad, deep. Too much choice is sometimes what stops me from reading and I d love a good librarian to know me well and give me advice

Hello, Bethany 🌷What country do you live in? I can't find it
