I adopted my kiddo from China and a bunch of families who also adopted from China get together for NYE. We go to a local hotel, have tons of snacks and games, chat and swim, watch the ball fall, stay over and then have breakfast together. We have done that for ten or more years now and it's a lovely tradition
Not sure why people always look to New Years in order to make a change for the better, or change the course they are on. ANY day ending in "Y", is an excellent day to make a new start in any area of your life. Your next day is never guaranteed, so make today count in how you choose, whatever you choose. You are a lovely "role model" Josie, and I agree with your ethos. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!
You and Charlie's energy and work ethics is to be commended! You both have alot on your plate, yet you never complain! You still go about everyhing graciously and seamlessly. I admire you both! Wishing all good things for you and yours in 2025!❤
Thank you for inspiring me to start taking a reformer pilates at 63 yrs old!!! A new i tention for 2025 to improve my health, strength and mobility. All the best to you and Charlie from South Florida!!
I started reformer Pilates 12 months ago at 65 years old. Best decision, feel stronger and healthier and more flexible. Hope you enjoy it from Australia
This video is a game-changer! So much helpful information packed into one clip. I personally don't like promoting anything in comments, but I simply have to share with you a book called The Gilded Nexus of Prosperity, that book changed my approach to money, the methods in that book are impressive
Hi Josie, I don't think I've ever commented, but I love your videos. It's such a treat to follow you and Charlie, living your best life in The Cotswolds. Wishing an amazing 2025! ✨
Hello, Josie. I hope you had a great New Year's Eve and are ready for the best 2025 ever. I love that you are moving slowly and decisively into self care. Thank you for everything! Happy 2025!
not many talk about the real struggles of pregnancy, but the book First-Time Blossoms by Emily Harper does, it helped me manage the journey with more peace
Happy New Year and thank you Josie for a wonderfully informative video. I share your ethos for eating clean and avoiding processed foods. I was so ready to ditch all our holiday food and get back to my normal routine. I love watching you and enjoy your surroundings. Definitely checking out those books especially Greens and Beans! Thanks for teaching this old lady new things - you’re so right about aging healthily. Keep these coming please xx
Starting off my morning with a cup of tea watching this lovely Vlog. Feeling so inspired to eat less processed food and learn more about nourishing my body (and mind) with more natural foods this year. Thank you Josie for the inspiration. You are glowing and look amazing. I also love the beige jumper you are wearing.xx
Comfort nutrition food is always a welcome meal at this time of year. I do enjoy a blend of apple, lemon, ginger and turmeric as a hot drink. Your cook books look so interesting and very well illustrated. Thank you for sharing ❤
I'm going to make your lemon, ginger & turmeric tea - I love the idea of freezing it so it's ready whenever needed/wanted. You might be surprised that I've never seen raw turmeric for sale in my local grocery stores here in the US so I hope I can find some!! This was a really nice vlog - thanks. Wishing you a Happy New Year from SC, USA.
So admire you for talking about these topics! I started this journey 20 years ago because I went from being so active snd career to being bed ridden! I was going to let my autoimmune disease take my life away Started to do allbthe research because the medical field just pushed medication, which causes other side effects! Food , highly processed food!! Cut it out completely! Change my life completely!! Healthy and strong today! Also products that we use on our body, facw ans hair Is as important!!
A pinch of fresh cracked black pepper will help to activate your turmeric shots! The compound piperine in the pepper is known to improve the body’s absorption of the curcumin in turmeric 😊
Hi Josie love your videos always feel like I have a very special friend in my room 😅 I wish you and Charlie and your little doggies a happy and healthy new year . Let’s hope it’s a good one xxx
didn’t have the chance to comment at all this vlogmas but better late than never especially since it’s new years. always so happy when watching your vlogs Josie:) adored vlogmas felt extra special this year (tbh every year is special) can’t wait for the amazing content in 2025! happy new year and wishing you, Charlie, ofc the doggies and the extended fam good health and fortune!!❤😊
Happy, Happy New Year to you & Charlie & your entire family! Thank you for working so hard to bring us good, quality content & share information that helps us better our lives. Looking forward to new ideas, healthy choices, new yummy recipes & new adventures with you! The best is yet to come in 2025! 🙏🏻❣️💪🥳🤗
Happy New Year Josie & Charlie! 🎉🍾 Loved vlogmas and all of the content of 2024. You are one of my top three British vloggers whose content is must-see for me. And now that Charlie’s channel is back up and running, I suppose I’ll be opening a fourth spot for him, haha. Would love to see more Cotswolds chronicles and recipe making from both of you this year. Thank you for all your tireless work. I love it! 👏🏻
have been following u for few years now - u definitely seem to b glowing these days (Watever u r doing nutrition/skincare etc seems to b working well !!)
A lovely vlog to start the new year off Josie!! Looking forward to see what the new year has in store for all of us. I love love Marzipan as well. Have a wonderful evening. Sending you a big hug from Boston US 😇🤩🥳🎉
Happy New Year Josie! I spent new year’s eve and today reading Ultra-Processed People, after your recommendation - so good!! Also really enjoyed Glucose Revolution this year. I think I will be reading Spoonfed next. So thank you for the recommendations regarding health books!
I love the idea about blending ginger and freezing cubes with lemon ready for tea! I accidentally bought way too much ginger (online shopping) and was trying to figure out what to do with it so it doesn't go to waste.
Happy New Year Josie and Charlie! I really enjoyed your Vlogmas! I look forward to your future vlogs! You have been inspiring me to eat better and do pilates. You have such spirit.
We've been making chicken, parsnip, carrot an😢d swede soup for our dog,who collapsed with Vestibular Desease a week beforeXmas, she's a lot better now and on the road to recovery.❤
As a qualified Nutritional Therapist, I love all things food related in terms of nutrition, our health and maintaining our wellness through our diet and fitness 😍
The dining room looks to be a very poor room to dry washing in as it gets very little sunlight so can risk being cold and damp which can promote mould. I'd recommend a warmer, sunnier room and definitely a dehumidifier! We bought one a few months ago for our utility room - where I'm fortunate enought to have a ceiling 'pulley' - and it makes a huge difference in terms of time the washing takes to dry - the amount of water it pulls out of the air is incerdible!
Cooking and food for improved Immunity is something I’ve been looking at too! Just a few months ago I had a two week stay in hospital due to pneumonia. The antibiotics left me with a compromised immune system that I’m trying to bring back up. I’ve just cut out ‘bad’ sugar and will be growing fruit, veg and herbs to help with this! Will be sharing the journey on our channel. X
@@JosieIronsYes I’m looking at growing a home ‘apothecary.’ I’ve found that going low/no bad added sugar diet does help as a starting point as by cutting out the sugar you also cut out the ultra processed foods. Think it’s important to go off the rails a little at Christmas though! 😊
Lovely video Josie! I use the Tara Harper Regenerating Cleanser, it’s also a facial scrub and it’s been nice to use through the winter. It’s quite a fresh one and you’ll definitely need a moisturizer too afterwards 💖
I had to take down our tree early this year as we just adopted new kittens and one of them is particularly crazy and loves to climb into it and play with the delicate ornaments! I kept the nutcrackers out though as they are slightly less Christmassy and I still want some wintery touches lol
Happy New years Josie and Charlie. I have decided I want to move in with both of you. You guys are so sweet. I also want to live in your beautiful home.
Interesting about ingredients , I’ve noticed the increase use of sulphites. As a 60+ year old who was incredibly fit in younger years and reasonably fit in later years I would say keep it going, don’t stop as it’s really hard to get it back later on as I’m finding out, and finding classes at my level local to me is so hard plus expensive. You are so lucky to have a super gym. Daylesford soups yummy. Excellent idea for the healthy shots. Love you idea on improving cooking, however it really depends on how good your shops are, sadly no Daylesford type shop near me, in fact very low on organic, gluten free, lactose free ingredients. Yes, to batch cooking especially when living on your own.
Happy new year darling !! Thanks for this fab vlog to start the new year 🥳 PS I just finished ‘Wives Like Us’ on your recommendation and loved it !!! ♥️
I adore marzipan fruits too! My favourite treat. Love this slower paced vlogs… definitely not a fan of resolutions in January, the Spring equinox is more my time to burst into new energy 😂. Can I request a Charlie Irons interiors guide please? He has made Strawtop two so beautiful and I’d love a guide to his favourite British manufacturers/suppliers….
You do what most people do not. Most rush into things they do not even want because it is the only way they were taught to be and do things. These same people tend to be miserable and complain all the time. I admire people who live to the fullest on their own term, do things for them and live by their own book , not others.
Josie, speaking of rooms you never show, can you please do a tour of the chapel? I’ve heard you mention it in a previous video but don’t recall having ever seen it?! Ty! ❤
Hi Josie, happy new year to you all ❤! One question: where is your lovely advent calendar from? Would get one for our next Christmas 😊. Thanks heaps! .
I loved this video Josie, thank you. I’m also very interested in nutrition and have just bought Tim Spector’s Food for Life cookbook…..I think that’s what it’s called! Lots of inspirational recipes and some very sound advice on how to avoid, where possible, ultra-processed food. Not always easy but worth making the effort to keep learning. Best wishes to you both for the New Year, wishing you both health and happiness .
You don’t need a slow cooker when you have an Aga. The simmering oven acts as a slow cooker. All you do is start the stew or whatever on the hob and transfer to the simmering oven. When you get home, you’ll have your dinner ready.
Hi darlings - happy new year!!! I hope you had a fabulous festive break
I was in bed fighting an IBS attack.😞
Darling Josie,
I wish you a happy new Year, with all of Joy. I'm looking forward for your nicely vlogs.
All the best for you, Aileen 💕
@@Erin_29me too! I feel your pain 😢 hope you are better x
@@lovevivi2945 it's so so hard....thanks, you as well.🙏
Dear Josie, I wish you an Happy New Year 2025 and all the best for you and your family.🍾🥂
These slower vlogs are my absolute favorite - love to see you doing “normal” things everybody does, like laundry!
Please remember she is normal and human like all of us:)

the tips in the book First-Time Blossoms by Emily Harper are exactly what first-time moms need, itebook helped me feel so much more prepared.
I requested this video almost to the letter - thank you! :) have ordered a load of these to my local library 💃
Happy new year Josie ❤
I have 28 nutcrackers , one for every year of our marriage xx it’s always a special time when they come out xxx

Loved all the information ❤
Hello josie love your videos ,thank you lovely ❤🎉😊 xx
Loved the vlog...random question but what is through the glass door next to the tumble dryer in the utility room?
I loved this video Josie, thank you. I’m also very interested in nutrition and have just bought Tim Spector’s Food for Life cookbook…..I think that’s what it’s called!

Happy New Year from Kelowna BC. 💋💋🇨🇦
Hi Josie. I make my veggie stock in my New Ninja slow cooker. I know you have one too😊. It works great for that.
Josie, can you link that beautiful knit you wore when making the Minestrone? Thanks!
You don’t need a slow cooker when you have an Aga. The simmering oven acts as a slow cooker. All you do is start the stew or whatever on the hob and transfer to the simmering oven. When you get home, you’ll have your dinner ready.
