    Your chickens must have been so happy to have such a big area to scratch, especially with all of the left over tomatoes! We have 15 chickens on our little homestead and they are such a treat to watch! Our 3 oldest will be 9 years old this March, and they still lay occasionally! The other 12 will be a year old in May. Our ladies lay all kinds of colors as well - brown, pink, blue, and green! Are you able to have roosters where you live? We live out in the country, so our two roosters don't bother anyone when they crow at midnight. But, in the city, you cannot keep roosters, only hens.
    The soap turned out beautifully!

If I were there I would sing and dance around it, honestly...... Unfortunately we have to compromise lots of things this Christmas. Hopefully the new year will be healthier and we all come out of this with a new appreciation of the simple things in our lives.

    The mere fact that any shop or store owner has the fortitude to do one single thing for Christmas decorating during lockdown (especially lockdown Number 2) ... gets my 100% hands down seal of approval. When most feel like giving up or giving in... they are pushing forward. Isn't there a way to secure the tomato plants to the netting that isn't plastic, but more bio-degrade able?? Then when you cut it off the netting, if it falls into the soil, it's bio degradable. Even butchers twin would work and it's 100% cotton. That would be good for the soil as well. ?? Your soap making portion of the video was so great to watch... and you... like a kid riding a bike... you didn't forget. Nothing to worry about. And I can't wait to see the cured and finished product. Great video Nicki!

    Only Carlos can look at soap and make a connection to food... he's a gem 🥰 The soap looked lovely and took on a marble effect... they will make great little gifts but maybe not in time for Christmas. There's lots of silicone moulds that you can use too, not necessarily the patterned one but you can use bread moulds etc..they will stop the soap mixture sticking... Lovely to see all the decorations and Elizabeth and Skye or their contribution with Christmas decorations... thanks for sharing.. great vlog a s always xx

    Well done to Skye and her friends for finding and decorating a real tree... (I can't stand fake trees) that can be put out in the garden and used again. I have a bay tree (laurel) in a pot in the garden (actually I have three) the shape is perfect, and mine is taller than me now, which I bring in and decorate for Christmas , and water.. Then in mid January I put it back into the garden to keep growing. Well done on that pretty soap, wrapped in muslin with a ribbon they will make gorgeous gifts.

Your soap is very pretty. I would love to see one that's blue and green. Not the darkest shade of each nor the lightest shade of each. Somewhere in the middle would be really pretty. Love Skye's Christmas tree shopping. What a lovely gesture to give your tree a name! I'm certain it appreciated it. Thank you all for making this video possible for our enjoyment.
