Losing a pet is SO hard and heartbreaking. I went through it 4 times by now, and I still miss my pups and think about them often and look at their photos. Mine were all adopted (after their previous owners abandoned them), and as I told my friends, I'd rather have my heart broken a thousand times over when it's time to say goodbye rather than letting them waste away in a dog shelter, because I know I've given them the best life I could and loved them with all my heart. Grief is the price we pay for love. Lovely vlog, Josie and I really like your hair like that. You look absolutely lovely.

Hi Josie, I am Darlene from United States and i just started to watch your videos and i love your pressed flowers and sharing your vacations places. Just lovely! Thank You

[@jennifer6833]

I’m loving the mermaid 🧜🏻‍♀️ hair Josie! The style works beautifully on you! As a country girl myself I completely get you on the city exhausting you. The slower pace is something to be embraced. Happy Birthday 🎉 Lala! 🫶🏻 💖🌷

[@kamilatrela123]

I would absolutely buy some of the pressed flowers! ❤

[@BC1.2.3]

Josie, I think a wall of your framed pressed flowers on a wall in the strawbridge cottages would be great! I think your quest would enjoy seeing what grows in the Cotswolds.❤😊

[@rachelmclinn6921]

Yes Josie! I’d totally buy one of your pressed flowers if you were selling them. They’re beautiful 😍

[@genesisdeters1886]

Your videos are so wholesome! 💜

[@SharonBishop-Reynolds]

Yes would love framed pressed flower xx 😘

[@MissFlophie]

You should make a calendar of all your pressed flowers, 1 pressed flower for each month :) x

[@katrinaandtheways3036]

The pressed flowers are impressive and you are getting better and better in this art, Josie! 😍 🌼🌺🌷

[@katrinaandtheways3036]

Hat! 👒 What a great idea to use different ribbons with the hat, Josie! 😍🤩

[@DollyBobsPaws]

HAT! And you should definitely sell your flower pressings, they're really quite lovely x

[@risk5riskmks93]

I’m so impressed that you are explaining the benefits of “barefoot” shoes. It’s a world of difference, especially for the elderly.

[@ginahamlyn2569]

We have a sugar cane farm and this year to rest the one fields, we've planted sunflowers. So lucky me and my flower vases!

[@leilariley936]

Watching you doing your gardening always reminds me of my mom growing up...she's was a seamstress for many many years....and whenever she wanted a break from the sewing,or any form of stress for that matter....she would go and do some form of gardening!! In her words'it gives me such a sense of peace,that I can't even explain'.As a child;I found it so bizarre...now all grown up and watching you work your magical thumbs....I finally understand!! Love always,my dear Josie!!🏡👒🥀🌻💮💛

[@jennyjohnson9012]

Josie, I got divorced after 23 years of marriage and my main worry was what would happen to my dog. Luckily my ex didn't want him so it was ok. Since then I have lost my border collie aged 14 and my daughter lost her labrador. We now have a spaniel of almost 13 and waiting for the dreaded day.It's heartbreaking. I love the pressed flowers, I do this too and have framed some of them.A lovely way to capture your garden! x

[@newfoundland3030]

Happy Birthday, LaLa!

[@tonyahoward8861]

I lost one of my little dogs a few weeks ago , she was 13 but it’s just heartbreaking. I had her ashes put in a plant pot with a plant with the same name Poppet 😢and my other little dog Lola turns 15 next week and it’s so sad I won’t get more dogs because it’s so painful when they go❤

[@helenstella2666]

Oh I’m so sorry to hear about your little dog 😓 but what a lovely thing to do 🐾☺️ Our dogs are so precious aren’t they . Hugs ❤️

[@lotimol3288]

😢🙏🙏

[@clarerobbins37]

Sorry for your loss. Our dogs bring so much love and joy, and I too know how painful it is to lose our beloved four-legged friends 🥲

[@JosieIrons]

So so very sad, I’m so sorry xxx

[@LeliaVoinea]

Last year I lost my female dog of 14 years because of cancer. In March 2022 I lost my paternal grandfather to cancer 😢 I had two rough years in a row and I hope this year will be better. At least I managed to save my male cat from his sickness and now he is recovering slowly.

[@Carebear7170]

Hat, of course!! ❤❤

Lovely hair, just switched in so I am sure I will have something else to say in 1hr 15mins love you Josie. xx

[@constancemurphy6230]

I LOVE the HAT on you. And I would treasure a pressed flower from your garden.

[@trudiegordon6327]

The last silky looking dress you showed from H&M was the most beautiful print and shape and I have the exact same design in a different material from 2 years ago and it is lovely for a social occasion and I thought it looked lovely.

[@lorrainewells3844]

Beautiful Spring Tablescape Your flower arrangement is stunning. Barefoot shoes look fabulous. Your baking is amazing and such a delightful idea. Love your new hat with the option to create your own style. The flowers, herbs and leaf that you have been pressing are wonderful. Definitely getting better each different pressing you create. Hope your mum had a lovely Birthday. Thank you for sharing ❤ HAT ❤

[@sandyneino4219]

YES, I would buy...make sure to sign your creations!

[@kimberlysantos4085]

Yes I would buy your pressed flowers Josie pls consider it ❤

I always think your cosy autumn and winter vlogs are my favourite, but I’m absolutely loving all your gardening content. I called in Daylesford and Burford garden centre today, managed to pickup some digitalis - I thought Charlie might have had his hands on them all 😂

[@MyshelLeAnn]

Yes, I was actually watching another video and Josie video showed up on the right side of my screen and I immediately exited and went to her’s. Much more enjoyable to watch while eating my lunch😊

[@sadieizzie]

A fun video as always, so many great ideas. I hope there will be an opportune time when you can share which David Austin roses you've chosen to grow in your gorgeous garden. I love all the segments you share but my absolute favorites are the ones related to gardening and flowers, your flower arrangements for your home are so very pretty and always make me smile.

[@Fleurdonvariadv2264]

Nothing is rubbish ~ evolving and growing learning and blooming. I do enjoy watching all your content. And I love it so much! Simply a outstanding English Lady. 💐 Classic beauty

I found these as a smaller pair in green on a website called Amos for £60! I'll eat my hat if I'd pay £120 for one lamp.

[@sylwia8811]

I have the same walking shoes!!! I've had them for 2 years, love them. I've been only (apart from smart hills) buying barefoot shoes ever since buying my first pair. Love them.

[@SharonBishop-Reynolds]

Hi , I was thinking of getting some barefoot , have been reading and some say about sizing down ? Would you agree?

[@sylwia8811]

@@SharonBishop-Reynolds Hi, barefoot websites usually have a guidance on how to measure and choose the right size. I find the majority to be true to size. However, I've always had wide feet - may be the reason they are the same size as regular shoes??

I think you should frame your pressed flowers, and sell them. They are absolutely beautiful. Lovely video. 😊🇨🇦

[@trudiegordon6327]

H&M clothes are the only ones I am interested in these days as they are wearable, cost right, stylish and beautiful designs and materials. They do the best shorts and shirts and the children's range is amazing too.

[@1964TurquoiseSky]

Hat. Lots of wonderful creative ideas you shared! I have a couple of David Austin roses. I bought one several years ago for my mother for Mother's Day. She loved pink roses. She is passed away now, but I think of her every time the pink roses bloom. David Austin roses are some of the most fragrant roses! I can't wait to try the rose jammies. I would be interested in one of your botanical pictures if you ship overseas. Especially if it's for charity. I retired from the US Forest Service - worked for the outdoors for many years so I love anything to do with promoting nature. Thank you for another lovely video! 😊

Hat What a wonderful wholesome video dear Josie ❤

[@terridoyle8056]

Just thought you might like a tip I heard one of the celebrity guests on the tv coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show mention - obvious but useful - and that is to plant your seeds in the veggie garden in alphabetical order 'because when the seedlings start to show they don't have labels'!! so it's easier to identify them than just relying in memory. Not sure how it works if you have several B's, C's or D's though.

[@wendynicholls6231]

I love everything Josie! The jammy dodgers 🫶🏻and shoes and your garden is so beautiful and so therapeutic ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ryanphilyaw8707]

I have found that us ladies who wear leopard print coats smile when we spot each other 😊. I am glad the beetle is ok, I did see something crawl in the press so I hope he didn’t have a friend 😮.

I used to wear vivobarefoot all the time, for dog walks and for day to day life. I have really high arches and unfortunately they gave me really bad shin splints and eventually a stress fracture in my shin. I would say be careful if you have very high insteps!

Hi Josie, the farmer will probably rotivate the peas into the soil. Yes very legume has nitrogen fixed to its roots 😍😍 it could also be a cover crop. Love your videos 😍

[@dippysnippyhippy362]

The mermaid hair ,,to me,and I'm in the hair industry 37yrs, looks like you had it in plaits overnight which would be a quicker way of achieving this look... but of all the hair looks i still prefer the hair wrapped around the silk bendy overnight,, ,i put a shower cap on as well...because its waterproof it creates moisture and holds the style /curls longer... you have to take the shower cap off an hour or 2 before releasing the hair just so the moisture can evaporate and the curls will stay all day ❤❤❤

[@leemccray3908]

HAT! Loved your vlog per usual😊 I was excited to see how easily you incorporated the dried rose petals in the dough for the jammy dodgers! I have some lavender that I bought on Amazon with the idea of making something yummy too. You've inspired me to get off my derriere & just do it! Thank you, Josie. Btw, the butter stain in your new dress should come out if you pre-treat it with dish liquid & let it sit for at least an hour before you wash it (it always works for me). I look forward to your next vlog!❤❤❤

[@lotimol3288]

Beautiful hair style 😊 flour and water cooked together are often used as glue for paper maybe beaten egg whites 😉 something more natural Hat

[@juliewells4282]

The hat is adorable but I wouldn’t tie the ribbon under the chin unless it’s actually windy and needed. I’d tie a loose knot in the ribbon and wear it with the knot in back over the hair. 😊 The garden is looking so beautiful!

I have a feeling you are right and the crops in the field are a turn over crop and will just be plowed right back into the ground. The farmers around my parents use flax to do this and its absolutly beautiful when they flower

[@katherinesage]

Josie 🌸 Just north of Carmel, CA is Castroville, the “Artichoke Capitol of the World” (fun fact - Marilyn Monroe was Queen at Artichoke Parade). A dusty old western field teaming w artichokes! Another interesting place is Gilroy “Garlic Capitol of the World”. You might want to visit Carmel and Pebble Beach, CA with a drive to Big Sur and Post Ranch (look up Post Ranch). 17 Mile Drive and Point Lobos (Robert Louis Stevenson’s inspiration for ‘Treasure Island’) a lovely hike area. Carmel itself is nonstop flowers in its Fairytale Village and famed Candy Store. You’d love to Vacay there. Last fun fact… my late husband, renown Master Piano Restorer Gary Sage, was born in Carmel.

[@RecipeRemedy]

My parents were married in Carmel and I would go there during the summer. I so agree with you. It’s a magical place. You need to visit, Josie.

HAT Peas are legumes as well as beans, so they do the nitrogen fixating as well

[@Pocketfullofpebbles.]

The crop is a covering crop, legumes are nitrogen fixers, farmers also plant clover, alfalfa and I think rye grass, it saves the ground being bare.
