Just Plain Sadie
Великобритания
Добавлен 27 июн 2016
Nothing exciting here, just the uneventful life of an ordinary housewife in England, living her best life and loving it. If you enjoy watching snippets of all things homely, seasonal, and with a few badly made cakes thrown in, then this channel might be for you. Welcome!
Too hot, 🥵 so thinking of Autumn! 🍂

Oh it's a scorcher here in England right now. Well, it is summer so that's ok, but I'm getting through it by sneaking in a few autumnal purchases. I've linked up to one here in the description box if you're interested. I have nothing to gain from doing so (i.e, I'm not sponsored , I buy things with my own money, they aren't given to me!!!), I just like to share when I've found something rather fabulous.
Lots of Henry cat in this video, so enjoy!

Summer picnics & other stuff! 🌞🥗🍰

#britishvlogger #suffolklife #summerliving #housewifelife #aroundthehouse Who doesn’t love a picnic in summer? I love to know what other people take on picnics & here I show you what I put together. Like to channel my inner Enid Blyton and make lots of scrummy goodies! The washing machine needed repairing, so I’ve been busy handwashing. Also squeezed in a little - some might say pointless - fes...

A Saturday in Suffolk

#suffolk #britishvlogger #ordinarylife A bit of a different vlog this week. Bill and I went to an antique place in the Woodbridge area called Marlesford Mill, so I did a little discreet vlogging while I was there. Had a great time and stopped for a coffee on the way home. Little snippets of Suffolk for you to see, along with a slice of the Summer Vibes concert at Venue 16 on Saturday evening. 🎶...

A productive week, with a lot of decluttering and getting prepared.

Hello! Welcome to this week's vlog. A vlog about re found cups aged 40 and 71, lots of food, lots of flowers, and a bit of spilt paprika. urgh. Not fun to clear up. Hope you have had a good week, and if you are in the UK, I hope you haven't wilted in this rotten heat. 🎶 Music from www.epidemicsound.com/

Been a lovely week of online shopping! Thought I’d show you my swag 😃 Apologies for super loud music in some places. Didnt notice just how loyd it was until proof watching. Would have re-edited, but the truth is that at this time of year neighbours are noisy. Lots of grass cutting, kids playing in gardens, & home improvements, so if I waited for quieter days I wouldn’t get blogs out until Octob...
British weather & minor mishaps

A mixed bag of a vlog. Lots of flowers, good old British weather, general chit chat and ramblings about bits and pieces I bought from the supermarket, and ..... a little bit of baking! 🍪 Of course things didn't go smoothly, what did you expect?! Also in this video I boldly announce Bill and I have been married 'almost 18 years'. Nope. we celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary later this year, o...
A beautiful birthday 🎂

There was a very lovely birthday celebration in the house this week, so let me show you a few snippets from the day. An incredibly easy to put together Tiny 2 tier cake (NOT made by my hand I hasten to add), lunch out, a spot of shopping and the now traditional balloon🎈 arch around the front door. Probably for the last time. 😥 over the years we have thrown lots of parties as Violet has grown up...

Slices of ordinary things from the past week. Baby birds tweeting in the garden, both Henry cat and Tiger cat say hello. 🐈⬛🐈 The snacks that I sneak in during weekly shop, and lots of flowers. Just ordinary life. And of course, I make a new summer wreath! 🙄 Because did a Sadie vlog even happen if a wreath wasn't included?! Music from www.epidemicsound.com/
Planning ahead & a badly decorated cake!

Is it too early to mention Christmas? Well yes, but sometimes it's not a bad idea to think about things and plan ahead. Just little bits and pieces, I promise. Made a cake and did my trademark diabolical decorating, which naturally I share here as I have no shame whatesoever!

Raindrops, food, and favourite places
Sadie, your Tarragon Chicken recipe is now a firm favorite with me and my Mum, we absolutely love it. ❤
I open boxes about as well as you 😂 glad it’s not just me.
I love seeing Henry hehe. He looks like my Comet.
Love Henry cat, he is gorgeous ❤
Hi, Henry! 🤗 🐈⬛️
I also love and collect beautifully packaged items and keep them for my posey bouquets. You can keep them for seeds,buttons ,pins or just about anything else. Love your videos and have been binging all night!!
Lots of great ideas here, thank you! 😊 hope you are enjoying the videos, thank you for watching!
Your flower arrangement is beautiful ❤❤
Lovely of you to say that, thank you 🥰
I AM impressed and just may get a felting kit myself!! Love your content and calm voice.❤❤
Let me know how you get on if you get a kit, I hope you enjoy it ! It’s definitely not for me but it was kind of fun to try. That’s so kind of you, thank you ❤
So happy I found your channel tonight! I love all things British and can't wait to return. Pining away for England here in the US !!
A very warm welcome to you! I hope when you do return things are more settled here, it’s just a little bit crazy at the moment but I’m sure we’ll be back on track soon 😬
Wish I could come to one of your picnics!
You would be welcome! ❤
hi sadie ive just been to the suffolk food hall , how super it is. we live in norfolk but my daughter has recently moved near stowmarket. had a lovely time meandering around the food hall plus some brunch . hoping to move back to suffolk next year. previously lived there for twenty years. its so picturesque you just cant beat it. i love picnics too and i agree enid blytons tales of her food did seem amazing. used to love the famous five stories plus mallory towers etc .did you not go on the picnic? im going on one today and also visiting holkham hall. cant wait weather already looks good. love your vlogs , nice positive and refreshing.
Pippa, I love that you’ve recently been to SFH! It’s one of my favourite places, so good. It’s the nearest thing we have to Daylesford , which is my absolute favourite foodie place. I love Malory Towers, & St Clare’s. The midnight feast descriptions were fabulous. No, I didn’t go to either picnic, I’m not a huge fan of being at the beach hut all day, but will happily make sure the troops have all they need! ❤
The tiptoe of autumn 🍂 love that expression. Your videos are such a nice way to relax - thanks for sharing with us!
You are welcome! The way the world is right now I just feel it’s a good distraction to focus on the good bits, however small. Tip toeing autumn is definitely one of the good bits! ❤
The picnic food collection looks tempting, lovely vlog ❤
Thank you. I do love putting together picnics! ❤
Lovely fun video again. Love to see Henry cat and Tiger cat. Scrumptious picnics also. Here, we tend to include BBQs also in the picnics as parks and beaches often have BBQ pits installed for the use of visitors. Can you share your potatoe salad recipe? I would love to make some using freshly dug potatoes from the garden.
Thank you Linda. The recipe is very simple. Boil the potatoes, cool, then add mayo mixed with whole grain mustard and spring onions - scallions? - I can’t give exact quantities as it would depend on the amount you are making, and I swiped the idea from the ingredients list on the one we bought in Suffolk Food Hall! It’s so simple but my new favourite! ❤
What a delicious looking picnic! We had a family picnic recently for husband's birthday , everyone took something and I had an idea to use up a glut of potatoes by roasting them. I ended up with about 40 lovely crispy roasties which were eaten in about 5mins!! I'll definitely take those again.
ooh, that sounds so good! I need to copy that idea. What is it about picnics? They are just so much fun and so scrummy!
I have just discovered you Sadie! Love watching and listening to you. Have just binged watched loads of your videos. x
Hurrah! Thank you, and welcome!
I understand where your coming from on the menopausal weight gain. I was there a year ago. I have managed to lose over 2 stone and feel like a new stronger me. I did have to change the way I ate and exercised though. No more high intensity cardio and more focus on weights and walking. It is definitely doable and it's not as difficult as you might think. Just needed to be consistent. Good luck on your journey.
Thank you annl4329, you are inspirational. Well done on the more than 2 stone weight loss, that's impressive and not easy. You are right, it's a change of attitude. My issue is I'm very much 'ooh time for breakfast/lunch/dinner', when what I need to be saying is 'am I actuallly hungry' and take it from there. Not easy to change habits I know, but it has to be done. x
You have a very soothing voice. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Very nice thing to say Cheryl, thank you! ❤
That's the trouble with lovely places, they attract the tourists 🤣. It looks like you got the best meal of all of your options...and in the comfort of your own home as well. Lovely visiting with you again, as always 🥰
Yeah, it’s bittersweet. Need the tourism but …. People!!! 😒 it was crazy busy at the pub so I agree, the smart choice was made! ❤ x
The flower arrangements look so pretty, the food looks delicious, thanks for sharing this wonderful vlog ❤
That’s very kind of you, thank you ❤
Such beautiful scenery!!
I agree! It is a very lovely part of the country, we are lucky ❤
We might be having an inadvertent no-mow-rest-of-the-summer because I broke the lawnmower a week or so ago 😂.Let's just say, I'm not in a rush to replace it! Lovely video...thank you! xo
oh no to the broken lawnmower but hurrah to No-Mow-rest-Of-The-Summer! the wildlife will thank you for it. 🦋🐝🐞 Aw, thank you, you are always so kind xx
Hi Sadie, I thought you did a magnificent job with the felt cat. It doesn’t look easy! Although, I loved when kitty head looked like Chewie… I’ve always been a super Star Wars fan! Henry looks handsome as ever. Blessings and hugs 🥰
Thanks Wynne, it really wasn’t as easy as I hoped! But it gave me a laugh. I remember your Star Wars love ❤️! I shall pass on your comment to Henry Cat, but he’s getting a bit big headed. Started walking around in sunglasses and saying he’ll let me know when he’s ready for his close up! 🎥 🍿 😜
Such a lovely part of the UK. No mow May continues here, although we've mowed a path through a part of the lawn. It's definitely starting to look a bit wild!!
Love that you are still doing No Mow May! Would have loved to have carried on, but twice last week I got caught up & nearly fell 😅 it was time to get it cut after that! 😢
Nice vlog & a lovely garden ❤
Thank you ❤
I adore December and January, in fact all the Autumn and Winter months are to be cherished for me. x
Same, I much prefer colder weather! 🌦️
My first time seeing white lavender. Does it smell the same? Your food always looks yummy. Somehow reminds me of Christmas 🎄 and I'm counting down. Love your videos ❤
Yes, it smells the same just makes a change to see it in a different colour 😊 I love that the food reminds you of Christmas, that makes me smile ❤
You always get the most yummy-looking food! That wedge of chocolate cake looked delish...as did the quiche! Oh and the price of that rose was outrageous (I did a quick currency exchange in my head and that's almost $60 !?!) ye gods! Even for a David Austin that seems pricey. I order bare-root ones from DA and even with shipping from the US they're not quite that much. They are lovely, though... xo
They are lovely roses, but the prices have gone insane. And between you & more, I’ve been disappointed in them more than once. A big part of the reluctance of parting with the money for them. I do love finding a good deli, and that quiche was a 10/10! ❤ x
The start of this vlog really reminded me of your old blog 'A Life in The English Rain' and Henry looked so cosy in the basket - even more adorable when he jumped in just to make sure Pixel knew it is his house! Great tour of Suffolk and you do live in such a beautiful part of the world. I hope Bill and Violet enjoyed the concert - it looked great! Love, Parveen xxx
Henry is getting quite big headed in every way - he knows he’s the star of the show! 😂 thanks Parveen, have a fabulous day xx
Seems you had a wonderful day! Thanks for sharing ❤
It was a good day. Thank you for watching & commenting ❤
The perfect Saturday! That quiche looked delicious, lovely wobbly egg filling xx
It was so very good! 😊
Delicious looking quiche! We have a Notcutts near us - I find their plants very expensive though, but their other bits & bobs are very nice.
It looked like a David Austin Rose, and that is the normal price for them wherever you go ❤
@@gillwoolley6515it was. Still pricey for one plant, David Austin or not!
Agreed @Mrsh3972, prices have gone up quite a bit, and while I like David Austin roses I think Pete Beales are just as good but better value ❤
Bonjour Sadie, Thank you for a lovely video. I very much enjoy visiting England or your part of the country with you as a guide. That cheese looked so delicious and sinful. I very much enjoy english cheeses; we have some sold here in Quebec and the blues and cheddars are my favourite. See you soon:)
Bonjour! Thank you, that’s a kind thing to say. I love a good blue cheese, the Suffolk Blue is described as the blue vein bring seasonal! Not quite sure why or how, but it sounds intriguing! 😊 x
Enjoyed every bit of your video! Looking forward to next time!
very kind of you Alaine, thank you, and Welcome! 💜
Thank you Sadie for another lovely upload with lovely Henry. I thought your felting effort was much better than the example on the box. I once bought a felting kit but the instructions left me scratching my head so it ended up being donated. Glad that Violet is making the most of her break and had a lovely trip up to London. Parveen xx
oh, now that is really too kind Parveen! I laughed so much at my attempt V the one on the box. If you want to see a really amazing felting crafter, then click on @MrsPinkyCrazyBagLady (she has left a comment here), her work is amazing. I'm in total awe. Violet is loving this pause between uni, she's out in Brighton today, she's certainly making the most of her time! x
@@justplainsadie Thanks and I definitely will look at her work - I shall blame you if I end up being inspired to try again! How lovely that she commented and her opinion as a felter must count! This break is a lovely long one and it is great that she is enjoying the time. Well, I am off to watch your next video - what a treat! Parveen xxx
@@mrsbarnes8011 😘 x
Lovely vlog & interesting crafting. Thanks for sharing ❤
❤ thank you ☺️
lol aww I liked the cat it was vey cute ❤❤❤
ha ha, thank you! I've seen your creations and know you have proper talent with this craft, but I feel it is not for me! x
Sadie thank you! I have just discovered your channel due to having a little more time on my hands that usual, I find them so calming and a delight to watch, thank you for such beautiful content. ❤
Thank you Craig, that's really kind of you. And Welcome! 👍
Hi Sadie, from a totally rainsoaked and stormy north Italy!!! Weather atrocious, just like the UK. I loved your efforts with felting, as someone mentioned you could hang him on your Christmas tree. Love your videos they really cheer up a gloomy summer. Have a good week. Hugs Ro (n.w. italy)
ah yes, it sounds like our weather is very similar to each other! That's kind of you to say that, but it's ok, I know it's not a talent I was meant to have. Good laugh though! I love it when I'm told my videos cheer someone up, it just about makes my day! x
Gosh, that was a big seagull, wasn't it? I quite like your little felted cat -- he has a lot of character! Not as much as Henry Cat, of course. I'm so impressed with your Christmas/birthday organization...I really must do better! xo
massive! Even the normally bold and brash magpies were subdued and looked tiny in comparison. Ha ha, the felted cat is hilarious! But I gave it a try and if it made anyone watching the video smile or laugh, then it was time well spent. Ah yes, now is the time to make a start. What really gave me a push was when I bought cheese in the supermarket recently, the date said September and all of a sudden I realised the Ber months are creeping up quickly, and once they arrive Christmas is here in a flash! x
Good morning, I have kept a patch of the lawn going wild and I also see different wildflowers and grasses. I believe the purple flowers are ''self heal'' A tea from the flowers can soothe a sore throat.
ooh, that's very interesting, thank you for that Linda. I know one flower we have in the front garden is a type of orchid, and that's never shown up before. I need to make sure I get a little video of it while it's still there!
I love your hand felted cat! You could hang it on your Christmas tree. We have a couple of black felted labradors that I hang on the tree- not made by me though, they were in the EB sale. No mow may also continues here - I'm attempting to re-wild the garden & so far we've got lots of pretty things coming up.
You are kind, but it's not very good at all! I couldn't stop laughing once it was done, it looked nothing like the picture on the box! But it's ok, I've tried, I know I really shouldn't do it again, and hopefully it's given everyone a laugh. I'm sure your EB labradors are beautfiul. I love no mow May/June/July! Just as I think it's looking a bit straggly and needs a good cut, I spot something pretty and tell Bill to leave it for a little big longer. At this rate it'll be No Mow 2024! x
I admire your efforts with the felted cat! I’d just like to know who sat down one day and dreamed up such a craft!!
a very good point! who did that? Who thought 'here's an idea, I'll stab a serrated needle into felt and see if I can fashion it into another shape'! who? and why? I've seen some people create amazing things with felting, sadly, I will not be one of them! x
Thank you for capturing and sharing your ordinary British life for us Anglophiles to enjoy, Sadie. Extra points earned for featuring adorable Henry and neighborly Tiger. 🐈⬛️🐈
Thank you Susan, that's lovely of you to say. I often think I'm too boring to bother vlogging, but I focus on the happiest part of my weeks, which tend to be very plain and ordinary, but luckily, it seems to be what people like to watch! Ah yes, Henry and Tiger are my secret weapons, those two characters are proving very popular! x
