Thank you. I feel the same with you tube atm. I cant understand how you tube dont change up its feed instead of putting watch again ou my saved for later up.
❤❤❤ you are one of the few you-tubers I still watch...many others have lost their flavor or something...always so glad to see you...a real Blessing ❤❤❤
I have just watched your grief diary and it really resonated with me. I lost my dad to dementia over 10 years ago and whilst you get over the sadness you never forget. Thankyou for your comments which were really helpful.
Dear Caroline, thank you for mentioning Karen, the Geordie Grandma’s husband ‘s recent cancer diagnosis. I am a volunteer at a local cancer support charity in Newcastle and have told her about the huge amount of information there is to help families when this dreadful disease hits a family. The last thing they need to have to worry about is money. I hope many of your lovely followers will subscribe to Karen’s channel to boost her numbers. Many thanks
Absolutely xx If we can boost her numbers it will help. My sister went through a double mastectomy last year and got through it. Not having financial pressure helps enormously x
I'm obsessed with Cruising on Narrow boats it's so chill out people who now live permanent on board and have a slower beautiful way of life there are many varied types, I watch Unadventurous Mandy lovely lady, Tiffany thinks and my absolute favourite Mrs M 😅
Subscribed to your friend Karen's channel. I'm a US granny so I am sure I will enjoy it. Thank you for mentioning her and her husband's illness. Glad to support them in this small way.
I enjoy Cecilia’s videos about Svalbard - very gentle, all about her life there & her dog Grimm & her partner Christopher. I wasn’t aware of the ‘playlist’ function on RUclips, happy to pop Karen’s videos on my iPad and leave them and the ads playing - great idea!! ❤
Really enjoying the weekly vlogs, a bit of everything, chats about books, clothes, cosmetics, a rant, a recipe and words of wisdom at the end. Nice one 👍 and I agree with you… the world would be a nicer place if people didn’t start their sentences with “You should…”
Hi great weekly vlog as usual ! The weather has a huge effect on me too I’m so fed up of rain, and when it’s not rain dull grey skies 😡so it’s nice to know I’m not the only one . Loved the words at the end of the vlog and will endeavour to do better on that Thanks Caroline
I have become addicted to Flawless Cleaning Services and Ben's community projects. Makes your heart so full! There is also Scotland Unplugged, Midlife Stockman, Holmes Inspections by Mike Holmes are what I watch on a regular basis besides Helen Mary Jo, yourself and a few others.
I watch Flawless Cleaning Services too. Ben, his dad and his lovely family. Always goes the extra mile, helping the elderly with their outdoor spaces. He is very popular. I've been watching him for quite a long time and his channel is really growing.
❤ Gosh here I am sat watching The Customer is always right, and low and behold who should pop up on screen was you with your son. What a nice surprise that was Caroline. ❤
Just a FYI, my hairdresser recommended that I use a purple mask /conditioner instead of the shampoos. It's easier on the hair, gets the brassiness out and not drying. I have gray/silver hair and in my late 60s, it's gets dryer and sometimes wiry. I found I liked using my normal regular shampoo and then the purple conditioner much better.
Caroline how lovely of you to support Karen. She is such a lovely lady and it has been devastating for them. I love RUclipsr recommendations and I love to watch Simon Wilson. His vlogs are very different.
I heard Karen’s news. I watch her regularly. I was widowed suddenly at 55. It was shocking in every way. I will continue to support her channel. Love your channel and thank you for being a friend to listen to when I am lonely. From h in South Africa.
We visited your neck of the woods in June and it was glorious with sunshine most days. How is the tortoise getting on. Mine has a greenhouse with a lamp. Poor soul. He is definitely a sunny jim. Thank you for all the time and effort you put it. .its really appreciated 🎉❤
Lovely video as always. Yes, terrible news for Karen and her family, my heart goes out to them. On a different note, I was watching you and William on the TV I think it was Monday. It was a repeat of a show called The Customer is always right. I wasn't taking a lot of notice until I thought "That sounds like Caroline!" xx
Great video thanks, you can be so funny at times. I loved the inspirational words at end and couldn’t agree more with them. Have a lovely weekend love 😊😊
I enjoy Helen MaryJo on RUclips. She does clothing hauls, cooking, some household tips and occasionally crafting (I'm no crafter!) - a wide variety. I enjoy her "asides" and anecdotes too. She has both professional and practical experience to share from over 40 years of marriage and a career. Certainly worth dipping into, Caroline. I'm looking forward to other recommendations in the comments.
Hi Caroline. Great vlog. I do watch Karen and will continue to do so. Such sad news, lets hope treatment goes really well for him. As a Cancer survivor I know first hand how difficult the next months are going to be. So kind of you giving Karen a shout out.
Sorry to hear about your friend’s husband - I’ve subscribed. I very much enjoy watching Ran Sailing on RUclips - a Swedish sailing couple. They are currently living on land and building a sailboat - a 50’ sailboat - and will resume sailing when it’s finished. They still put out very interesting videos each week on Friday. They have years of videos from their extensive travels; their sailing videos are so well done in my opinion. I discovered them during Covid and have watched them all! I very much enjoy your weekly vlogs!
Hi Caroline. I understand your upset sometimes in receiving the emails from the care home your dad was in. Maybe can you opt out of them for a bit? Love your videos. XX Have a great holiday.
What devastating news for your friend Karen she must beside herself especially with her husband being self employed double whammy. It resonates with me as I got diagnosed with leukaemia when I was 58 too, and apparently was only weeks away from it turning from chronic to acute, so was lucky it got diagnosed when it it did. I wish her and her husband a lot of strength Love and and also believe that you will get through it, it never goes away and you have treatment all the rest of your life, so I hope that can help him like they have me . Love and Best wishes to Karen and her husband xxx❤
Really enjoyed your vlog, you cover a wide range of topics. I loved you white v neck top and pink cardigan it is so flattering. I try to buy v necks for that reason,. Also enjoy the words at the end of your vlogs, thank you.
Hi, be grateful for the rain! I live in Vancouver, Canada and it has been +30 for a few weeks with no rain. The government will probably increase our level of water restrictions which is bizarre considering the amount of rain we had in the fall and spring. Forest fires are on the rise so some rain would be welcome. Sun during the day and rain overnight is the perfect summer weather.
Hi Caroline. Ive only recently found your channel and since trying out your recipes of the week my family say they are enjoying my cooking more! I also love to watch My home on the hillside. Its another Caroline, a welsh one and she does crafting but its not the sort of crafting where you need to buy lots of expensive craft supplies. She is jolly and fun and a lovely accent to listen to.
Hi Caroline, I’m watching the following on YT at the moment as well as you of course-Helen Mary Jo, Camper Vibe and Middle Aged Minx. Camper Vibe is something quite different - the 2 girls have now bought a 200 year old cottage and are in the throws of renovating it. 🏡😎
Hi Caroline, just finished your suggested book A Half Baked Idea, by Olivia Potts. Enjoyed it, so thanks. Curt and Snow on RUclips are an older couple travelling the world in their Mercedes Van with their 2 cats. Very enjoyable!😊
Hi Caroline, hope your beginning to feel better - coming off HRT can be a nightmare. Enjoyed the video - thank you - I have also popped over to Karen's channel and subscribed - will watch through content - adverts and all - when time allows - thank you for highlighting an opportunity to help. xx
Brilliant vlog as always Caroline enjoyed all your segments!! I can highly recommend the Garnier superfood repairing 48 hr repair body butter it is amazing for very dry skin it does what it says on the tin!! I am usually a relatively shy person but when I see someone who looks nice or has had their hair done or wearing something nice I always make a point of saying it and I know it is appreciated as often the person usually a girl will often say how nice it was to be told that!! Your lovely quote this week really resonated with me we should be holding each other up and not tearing souls apart!! Have a lovely week Caroline whatever you are doing xx
You cheered me on so sweetly and with humor today, Carolyn. I laughed aloud half a dozen times, each time surprising myself that I enjoyed your vlog as though I were seated across the table from a best friend with coffee and probably something delicious to have with coffee. Every topic you addressed was interesting, sometimes a bit dark, but reliably softened by a funny word or remark, almost an aside. During your try-on, the long caftan you decided to send back looked wonderful on you except, of course, for the length. The dark star dress, I thought, wasn't up to your usually fine taste. I thought it lacked something, but maybe I was squinting through that try-on. The sweater you wore in the final segment was gorgeous! The texture and pinkish color, even the cut of the sweater, were all so pretty, chic, summery. Thanks for a pleasant 46 minute visit. It was delightful, rant and all!
lol Caroline - you made me smile when you did the film star thing about not filming the ‘wrong’ side of you - I think Robert Redford was famous for that! And I loved that pink/coral cardi you had on - beautiful colour. So like it when you do the cooking bits ❤ 😊
Hi Caroline, my YT followers are Liz Earle Wellbeing, Nancy Birtwhistle, Stacey Solomon, Mr Carrington, Clodach McKenna, The Batch Lady, Books and things…Good to see you using your local library and reserving books, (I work in a library), it keeps the issues up. x
I was 70 on 13th. Had planned to entertain friends in the garden. The weather put paid to that. I did have a nice day but nothing like I had planned in my head. I watch Flawless Cleaning, Rosie Henshaw, Bealtine Cottage, The Last Homely House, Toni's Interiors, to name but a few. I also watch several animal related channels and support two sanctuaries. I shall check out Karen's channel. Have a lovely week Caroline. 😊
Loved the pink cardigan. I watch Karen every wèèk I also watch LINDA TEE at 70. Give her a look up , she's hilarious without trying, good blog this week as always😊
I followed Geordie Grandma. It's not much, but I hope it helps. I'll let it run in the background while I'm about my business. My family has been touched by cancer too many times. Hoping for the best for Karen's husband and Karen. xx Patty
Thanks for the book recommendations, I was looking for some good reads. I’ve just started ‘Mrs Winterbottoms gap year’ and so far I’m really enjoying it 📘😊📖 xx
What a wonderful final thought. I must learn from that. I loved the blue starry dress and the zebra print one, both very comfortable for lounging around in hot weather (when it comes). The Demis Roussos dress - not a fan! Thank you for the recipe - will try. Warm wishes to Karen and her husband who are going through a difficult time, I will subscribe.
Last summer where I live in Australia we only had a handful of warm days. I’m holding out for a decent warm summer in 2024 but if yours is anything to go by I am not hopeful. All this cold and wet weather does not say Global warming. Great video, glad you got to spend time with Will, makes a Mum’s heart happy.
Morning Caroline, the weather dear me it's so depressing I'm not getting any use out of my summer clothes I think there will be lots of sales I'm so lucky I get to go away abroad about three times a year I find I buy summer clothes to wear on holiday then I don't get the chance to wear them, really liked the vlog I did watch the gorge grandma what awful news for her family I did not no if you watch the adds on the vlogs it helped the person that makes them so ill not skip them any more hope you have a good week ❤😊x
Hi Caroline. I enjoy your vlogs. I watch a lot of creative textiles/ mixed media content, but enjoy Liz Earle Wellbeing, The Chateau Diaries, and La Carte de Voyage, among others xx
I watch some craft videos but have also discovered Fabulousover50 and Marie-Anne Lecoeur French chic. I have learned a lot about style from both of them. Love watching the variety you have most of all though. Take care
The Monika way is good. She goes charity shopping and recommends ways to find the best items. Agree about the weather. Really miserable. Sorry to hear about your friend. I will have a look at her channel ❤
Cold baked beans......... eeeew🤢. Love your weekly rant, makes me laugh👍. I've been given a plant to look after by my son in law while they're on holiday. He knows my form with plants and still entrusted it to my care. Alan (the plant, can't remember his correct name unfortunately) is currently residing in my greenhouse and so far is still alive. I've got him for another 16 days before I return him to his rightful home. Praying to the ether he makes it🤞. Oh and breaking news from Somerset...... it's sunny 😎😀
Hi Caroline. I use Paul Mitchell leave in conditioner. It's in a lavender coloured pump bottle. I buy it from my hairdresser, but you may be able to purchase it elsewhere.Wash you hair twice then towel dry. Put two pumps of conditioner in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together then gently squeeze it through your hair with your palms and fingers. Its a game changer. I will never go back to wash out conditioner again.
Hi Sue - I've never found a leave in conditioner that doesn't weigh down my fine flyaway hair. I love the idea of one though. Might give this one a go.
@@CarolineMrsM I always water down leave in conditioner - save an empty bottle, transfer half, or less of the new product and add cooled boiled water. It still works and stops the hair feeling weighed down.
Strictly star Dianne Buswell has some lovely travel vlogs lately, showing us around Malta a week or so ago. She also loves boot sales and charity shops. She has tremendous zest for life .You may enjoy her vlogs.
My husband found it Caroline. Solar Radiation Management it's called. The Met office video is named What is geo engineering. It's only short. The rain of course will be cloud seeding just as they've done for long time in Dubai. All very bad for crops and normal people trying to grown their own food, probably part of it too, Make us eat genetically modified stuff. I expect Brits will still talk about the weather but it's rather pointless now.
Hi Caroline, great vlog as usual. I wonder if you would consider doing a "packing for a cruise" video. Doing my first med cruise in August and would really appreciate some tips. (Flying from NZ first so have limited suitcase space) ❤
A RUclips channel I love is Freckles in her forties. She does vlogs that I always find comforting to watch and has a lovely personality. I get quite excited when she uploads a new video. I’ve been a subscriber for years. Another channel I recently discovered is Sophie May. She has a very engaging demeanour and an infectious smile. I will definitely go and watch some Geordie Grandma videos. Cold baked beans are delicious!
I was just going to recommend Freckles in her forties she’s great 👍 I follow Geordie Grandma and it made me very sad to hear about her husbands cancer diagnosis, very kind of you Caroline to mention her, she will need a lot of support right now xx
Love all of that. Recipe looked yummy. Cold beans noooo I don’t think so. Yes I hate those hard plastic bottles that need two hands to squeeze how do people cope with arthritis and the such. ❤❤ thanks for sharing. ❤
Hi Stella - yes, it definitely motivates me. I've always been a fairly organised person, but I think vlogging encourages me to do things to have things to film, if that makes sense!
Hello Caroline, I'm the same when it comes to the football 😀⚽ you picked up some fabulous books, the Lisa Snowden book sounds like a good read. I love to watch Mitsi Brown, Pamela from the scottish beauty and spa guide, blonde tea party, finding my style, susan knight, wrap around plus, some are fairly new channels i've found and lesleyanne sparkle is one of my favourite channel 😃Great try-ons love the star and zebra print dress and love the jeans too. With you on the baked beans. I heard Karen's news and her hubby's recent diagnosis. Fab empties and loved the rant. Lovely video, sorry for the long comment I've wrote a book 🤣xxx
Thanks, Caroline, that was a lovely vlog. I got some argan oil OGX shampoo and conditioner. The conditioner is so thick that’s it’s nearly impossible to squeeze out. Very frustrating.
I have just got out of the shower after also using the OGX conditioner and had to shake and squeeze the bottle so hard I ended up bashing my elbow on the tiles!! The Oplaplex bottle is the same you also have to keep that upside down as the product is so thick and when you are spending a significant amount I think down right ridiculous!! Do they not test these bottles before release!!!
Caroline, I have a recommendation for a RUclips channel I think you would enjoy….it’s called Stylish & Grateful - Fashion over 40, by a woman named Liz in the U.S. She puts out a decent amount of content each week and I have really been enjoying her channel! I agree with you that it feels like a good number of people have been slowing down and I too have been searching for additional content…I look forward to hearing any other suggestions in the comments!❤
I look forward to Wednesday’s great vlog as always. Yes, weather is abysmal here in 🏴 too. Was down your way on the 8th for qtr finals at Wimbledon saw Lulu and Alcaraz amazing day but spoilt by rain, no outside play thank goodness for the roof. Must mention something I think that’s funny I have a tiktok channel and have just noticed I say “I can’t tell you” often I wonder where who I get that from 🤔 😂. Was sad to see Karen’s latest vlog do you remember way back we had a book group zoom years ago with yourself, Karen & Tina? Have a great week I’ll look forward to next Wednesday 😊
Yes, I remember it well! And I think there was a lady from Australia who had trouble connecting as well, from memory! What's your Tiktok channel, Jacqui, I'll pop over and follow?
. I saw Geordie Grandma announce her news as I subscribed to her a while ago.. So sad. Here in Wales we don't pay for prescriptions. When it was decided the powers that be said it was bad enough being ill without having to worry about the cost that comes with it. Re the woman who corrected you.. naughty Caroline😂. I don't know if you noticed but I had replied to her. I said ' you should not ' 😂😂😂😂😂. Not really but did say, in a polite way, if course, how unnecessary her remark was. When I was a child I sometimes went to my grans for Monday dinner. It was always the same; cold leg of lamb, creamy mashed potatoes with cold baked beans. Your mention of the beans brought back lovely memories.. Great vlog as usual though the haul wasn't to my taste. I won't be shopping there. Demis Roussos decided for me.🤣 Have a good week Caroline, filled with sunshine.
Hi Caroline. I'm from Ireland. I generally enjoy the content of your vlogs. You offer a good variety. I like the clothes hauls as I'm the same age and size as you, im just a much taller version. I like your chats and your rants amuse me so much. Your irritations are very similar to my own. I had been following helen mary joe but unsubscribed recently as she can be can go on and on about nothing, and she tends to be rude about her husband. That speaks volumes. I love your holiday videos and your tips for the home. I'm also curious about what's in your shopping bag. I often followed your recommendations. I recently purchased that concentrated fabric scent booster, and it's so so good. Another blogger I really enjoy is Mr. Carrington. He goes to car booties and charity shops and brings us on his hols. He's really easy to watch as he gas a very gentle nature. I also like steve marsh and ruth aisling. They both travel around Scotland. They are nice people and a bit mad, which I like. Hope that helps. Get your Asley out hiking around Scotland or come over to Ireland to stay in a shedherds hut beside a beach. 😅 Just keep doing what you are doing. It works for me. And I'm quite fussy 😊
Love Mr Carrington too. Used to listen to Helenmaryjo, up until I made a very nice and positive comment about her upcoming cruise and she came back with a very sarcastic, nasty reply. She thought I was being sarcastic according to her, but I commented on most blogs up to that point and was never rude. I try to stick to "if you've nothing good to say, say nothing". Unsubscribed right away and will not watch or recommend her again. Life's too short.
I find her rude too. No filter. I unsubscribed on the day she was moaning that her dog groomer failed to show up because she had mental health issues. How could anyone say that on a public platform? 😮 @bexp436
@@bexp436 please could I gently let you know that I find this thread uncomfortable. I don’t know the lady in question personally at all, but as a fellow video creator, I know that I’d be really upset to find myself being discussed in somebody else’s comment section so negatively.
I'm afraid it's true. Sometimes 40 different pieces of advice on the same subject can be a bit overwhelming (though obviously intended in a kind and positive way).
We have had so much rain here too in Sheffield- I could count on one hand the number of nice days we have had this summer. ( And I’d have fingers left over!) I too always watch Mr Carrington like other viewers have mentioned here. Also watch his friends Luke Catleugh and Dainty Diaries ( I’ve seen you mention Freya Farrington before). I go to 2 libraries. My local one is run by volunteers and I go to a bigger one which is open more. 14 libraries closed here a few years ago so we need to support them. I’m going to take my Good Housekeeping supplement and see if I can find any of the recommendations.
Some nice outfits and lovely colours on you. I like a spoonful of cold baked beans just before i warm them up yum! Sad to hear of Karen the Geordie grandmas husband. I will sunscribe, every little helps. Such a worry.x
To funny I’m watching your video and you’ve just popped up on the tv trying to a swimming cap on standing on your verandah in the rain . 😅 I think it’s an old show the customer is always right . X
Hi Caroline , I have been enjoying your videos since I first discovered youtube so thank you .I think you might like the American lady Linda Davis Smith . She is based in New England and the content is very relaxing.
Hi Caroline. I would love you to talk about your decision to go off hrt. It’s something I am considering. I think it would be informative. It’s very pro hrt at the minute and it would be nice to hear the other side. Of course you may wish to keep t it private ❤
Hi Caroline. Can I add my rant of the day? I was writing comments to this video and my iPad battery went! Lost them. That was my fault for not looking, but sometimes my iPad seems to have a mind of its own as well! I share your irritations, and could mention quite a lot more. That conditioner bottle was not fit for purpose! I was so pleased you mentioned Karen’s channel. I already subscribe so had seen the video, but thank you for encouraging viewers. RUclipsrs often mention the percentage of viewers that watch but do not subscribe and it amazes me that is often so low. It cost nothing, and if you like the content then why not subscribe. For interesting cruising info, I watch FraserAtSea - you probably do to. I find him helpful and any criticism is constructive. He reports in a calm way without drama! Someone mentioned Steve Marsh who I watch, and I also like Scott of Planes, Trains and Everything, a fellow Scot of Steve’s. Scott gets to places and areas many people would not have been etc. and has quite a quirky attitude. Mr Carrington has such a lovely calm relaxing composure, and has two beautiful cats that must have THE best life! Thank you for this vlog - I often am able to have a giggle, and at the moment need it, so thanks once again. I like the variety in some of them like today’s.
Thank you for the recommendations, Hazel. Yes, around 50% of my views are from people who aren't subscribed. I suspect the word 'subscribe' on the button puts some people off, as they don't realise it's free, 'subscribe' sometimes indicates payment required, I guess. I bet if the button said 'subscribe here, it's free', there'd be more uptake! I do have a plan to improve this situation soon, however - stay tuned!

Love your vlogs, I especially look forward to your rants!
Really enjoying the weekly vlogs, a bit of everything, chats about books, clothes, cosmetics, a rant, a recipe and words of wisdom at the end. Nice one 👍 and I agree with you… the world would be a nicer place if people didn’t start their sentences with “You should…”
Hi great weekly vlog as usual !
The weather has a huge effect on me too I’m so fed up of rain, and when it’s not rain dull grey skies 😡so it’s nice to know I’m not the only one .
Loved the words at the end of the vlog and will endeavour to do better on that
Thanks Caroline
I have become addicted to Flawless Cleaning Services and Ben's community projects. Makes your heart so full! There is also Scotland Unplugged, Midlife Stockman, Holmes Inspections by Mike Holmes are what I watch on a regular basis besides Helen Mary Jo, yourself and a few others.
Ben is amazing and his Dad , funny hardworking and incredibly heartwarming
I watch Flawless Cleaning Services too. Ben, his dad and his lovely family. Always goes the extra mile, helping the elderly with their outdoor spaces. He is very popular. I've been watching him for quite a long time and his channel is really growing.
❤ Gosh here I am sat watching The Customer is always right, and low and behold who should pop up on screen was you with your son. What a nice surprise that was Caroline. ❤
Ha, yes, my mum told me they were repeating that again on the BBC!
Just a FYI, my hairdresser recommended that I use a purple mask /conditioner instead of the shampoos. It's easier on the hair, gets the brassiness out and not drying. I have gray/silver hair and in my late 60s, it's gets dryer and sometimes wiry. I found I liked using my normal regular shampoo and then the purple conditioner much better.
Caroline how lovely of you to support Karen. She is such a lovely lady and it has been devastating for them. I love RUclipsr recommendations and I love to watch Simon Wilson. His vlogs are very different.
I love a RUclipsr called Live it like Lauren, she does day in the life things she’s really good, very addictive like your channel 🥰
I watch Lauren too, hydration! She's gone off the boil lately though in my opinion 😊
I heard Karen’s news. I watch her regularly. I was widowed suddenly at 55. It was shocking in every way. I will continue to support her channel. Love your channel and thank you for being a friend to listen to when I am lonely. From h in South Africa.
Thank you, Heidi :)
Thanks I enjoy your videos I watch Diane Denmark I watched Karen always and Kirsten keep going
The Gingham tunic top looked really nice. The length looked lovely over the wide legged trousers, but you have to feel right.
We visited your neck of the woods in June and it was glorious with sunshine most days. How is the tortoise getting on. Mine has a greenhouse with a lamp. Poor soul. He is definitely a sunny jim. Thank you for all the time and effort you put it. .its really appreciated 🎉❤
Freddy is fine thank you - enjoying the sunshine when it appears!
Lovely video as always. Yes, terrible news for Karen and her family, my heart goes out to them. On a different note, I was watching you and William on the TV I think it was Monday. It was a repeat of a show called The Customer is always right. I wasn't taking a lot of notice until I thought "That sounds like Caroline!" xx
Yes, my son Will and I took part in two series back in around 2018 I think it was. It was fun to film! x
Love your rants so amusing
Great video thanks, you can be so funny at times. I loved the inspirational words at end and couldn’t agree more with them. Have a lovely weekend love 😊😊
I enjoy Helen MaryJo on RUclips. She does clothing hauls, cooking, some household tips and occasionally crafting (I'm no crafter!) - a wide variety. I enjoy her "asides" and anecdotes too. She has both professional and practical experience to share from over 40 years of marriage and a career. Certainly worth dipping into, Caroline. I'm looking forward to other recommendations in the comments.
Me too
And me 👍
And me.
Yes, me too.
Greetings from South Africa. 😊
Me too
Hi Caroline. Great vlog. I do watch Karen and will continue to do so. Such sad news, lets hope treatment goes really well for him. As a Cancer survivor I know first hand how difficult the next months are going to be. So kind of you giving Karen a shout out.
Your final words of this video were absolutely beautiful, lovely quote,
Sorry to hear about your friend’s husband - I’ve subscribed. I very much enjoy watching Ran Sailing on RUclips - a Swedish sailing couple. They are currently living on land and building a sailboat - a 50’ sailboat - and will resume sailing when it’s finished. They still put out very interesting videos each week on Friday. They have years of videos from their extensive travels; their sailing videos are so well done in my opinion. I discovered them during Covid and have watched them all! I very much enjoy your weekly vlogs!
Another great vlog…..loved your rant this week 😂xx
Hi Caroline. I understand your upset sometimes in receiving the emails from the care home your dad was in. Maybe can you opt out of them for a bit? Love your videos. XX Have a great holiday.
What devastating news for your friend Karen she must beside herself especially with her husband being self employed double whammy. It resonates with me as I got diagnosed with leukaemia when I was 58 too, and apparently was only weeks away from it turning from chronic to acute, so was lucky it got diagnosed when it it did. I wish her and her husband a lot of strength Love and and also believe that you will get through it, it never goes away and you have treatment all the rest of your life, so I hope that can help him like they have me . Love and Best wishes to Karen and her husband xxx❤
Well, taking your ending quote to heart…I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you today!😂. Re audio books….perfect while doing jigsaws!
Really enjoyed your vlog, you cover a wide range of topics. I loved you white v neck top and pink cardigan it is so flattering. I try to buy v necks for that reason,. Also enjoy the words at the end of your vlogs, thank you.
With you on baked beans, hubby eats them cold, i detest cold beans , your readly recommendation has saved me a fortune, I love it
Here in Kent the weather hasn't been too bad!
Hi, be grateful for the rain! I live in Vancouver, Canada and it has been +30 for a few weeks with no rain. The government will probably increase our level of water restrictions which is bizarre considering the amount of rain we had in the fall and spring. Forest fires are on the rise so some rain would be welcome. Sun during the day and rain overnight is the perfect summer weather.
Hi Caroline. Ive only recently found your channel and since trying out your recipes of the week my family say they are enjoying my cooking more!
I also love to watch My home on the hillside. Its another Caroline, a welsh one and she does crafting but its not the sort of crafting where you need to buy lots of expensive craft supplies. She is jolly and fun and a lovely accent to listen to.
So glad the recipes are going down well :)
Hi Caroline, I’m watching the following on YT at the moment as well as you of course-Helen Mary Jo, Camper Vibe and Middle Aged Minx. Camper Vibe is something quite different - the 2 girls have now bought a 200 year old cottage and are in the throws of renovating it.
🏡😎
As soon as you mentioned your friend Karen, I found her and subscribed. Anything to help. I will definitely watch. Keep up the good work 😁😁💕💕
Hi Caroline, just finished your suggested book A Half Baked Idea, by Olivia Potts. Enjoyed it, so thanks. Curt and Snow on RUclips are an older couple travelling the world in their Mercedes Van with their 2 cats. Very enjoyable!😊
Thank u Caroline for a wonderful vlog xxx❤
Hi Caroline, thank you for introducing us to Karen. I wasn’t familiar with her channel and i very much enjoy it and have subscribed.
Hi Caroline, hope your beginning to feel better - coming off HRT can be a nightmare. Enjoyed the video - thank you - I have also popped over to Karen's channel and subscribed - will watch through content - adverts and all - when time allows - thank you for highlighting an opportunity to help. xx
Brilliant vlog as always Caroline enjoyed all your segments!! I can highly recommend the Garnier superfood repairing 48 hr repair body butter it is amazing for very dry skin it does what it says on the tin!! I am usually a relatively shy person but when I see someone who looks nice or has had their hair done or wearing something nice I always make a point of saying it and I know it is appreciated as often the person usually a girl will often say how nice it was to be told that!! Your lovely quote this week really resonated with me we should be holding each other up and not tearing souls apart!! Have a lovely week Caroline whatever you are doing xx
We came down to Paignton 15th June and we had a lovely week.
You cheered me on so sweetly and with humor today, Carolyn. I laughed aloud half a dozen times, each time surprising myself that I enjoyed your vlog as though I were seated across the table from a best friend with coffee and probably something delicious to have with coffee. Every topic you addressed was interesting, sometimes a bit dark, but reliably softened by a funny word or remark, almost an aside. During your try-on, the long caftan you decided to send back looked wonderful on you except, of course, for the length. The dark star dress, I thought, wasn't up to your usually fine taste. I thought it lacked something, but maybe I was squinting through that try-on. The sweater you wore in the final segment was gorgeous! The texture and pinkish color, even the cut of the sweater, were all so pretty, chic, summery. Thanks for a pleasant 46 minute visit. It was delightful, rant and all!
Thank you so much, Susane
lol Caroline - you made me smile when you did the film star thing about not filming the ‘wrong’ side of you - I think Robert Redford was famous for that! And I loved that pink/coral cardi you had on - beautiful colour. So like it when you do the cooking bits ❤ 😊
Hi Caroline, my YT followers are Liz Earle Wellbeing, Nancy Birtwhistle, Stacey Solomon, Mr Carrington, Clodach McKenna, The Batch Lady, Books and things…Good to see you using your local library and reserving books, (I work in a library), it keeps the issues up. x
Hi Helen, thanks for the recommendations. Absolutely love the library - it's my 'happy place'! x
@@CarolineMrsM…btw..as well as BorrowBox, try Libby - libraries use, it’s free. xx
I was 70 on 13th. Had planned to entertain friends in the garden. The weather put paid to that. I did have a nice day but nothing like I had planned in my head. I watch Flawless Cleaning, Rosie Henshaw, Bealtine Cottage, The Last Homely House, Toni's Interiors, to name but a few. I also watch several animal related channels and support two sanctuaries. I shall check out Karen's channel. Have a lovely week Caroline. 😊
I love cold baked beans, in fact it's hard not to eat half of them from the saucepan before heating them up! 🙂
Loved the pink cardigan. I watch Karen every wèèk I also watch LINDA TEE at 70. Give her a look up , she's hilarious without trying, good blog this week as always😊
I followed Geordie Grandma. It's not much, but I hope it helps. I'll let it run in the background while I'm about my business. My family has been touched by cancer too many times. Hoping for the best for Karen's husband and Karen. xx Patty
Thanks for the book recommendations, I was looking for some good reads. I’ve just started ‘Mrs Winterbottoms gap year’ and so far I’m really enjoying it 📘😊📖 xx
I love Miranda Mills on RUclips. Books, beautiful places, tasty baking and more books!
Thank you for vlog, I loved the star dress, the conditioner sounded a nightmare, I’ll definitely avoid that one!! X
Caroline, that Demis Roussos comment had me laughing out loud!!!!!😂😂😂
What a wonderful final thought. I must learn from that. I loved the blue starry dress and the zebra print one, both very comfortable for lounging around in hot weather (when it comes). The Demis Roussos dress - not a fan! Thank you for the recipe - will try. Warm wishes to Karen and her husband who are going through a difficult time, I will subscribe.
Last summer where I live in Australia we only had a handful of warm days. I’m holding out for a decent warm summer in 2024 but if yours is anything to go by I am not hopeful. All this cold and wet weather does not say Global warming. Great video, glad you got to spend time with Will, makes a Mum’s heart happy.
Libby from some libraries - is a good one too (free) xxxx thks Caroline for cheering us along the way x😊
Morning Caroline, the weather dear me it's so depressing I'm not getting any use out of my summer clothes I think there will be lots of sales I'm so lucky I get to go away abroad about three times a year I find I buy summer clothes to wear on holiday then I don't get the chance to wear them, really liked the vlog I did watch the gorge grandma what awful news for her family I did not no if you watch the adds on the vlogs it helped the person that makes them so ill not skip them any more hope you have a good week ❤😊x
Hi Caroline. I enjoy your vlogs. I watch a lot of creative textiles/ mixed media content, but enjoy Liz Earle Wellbeing, The Chateau Diaries, and La Carte de Voyage, among others xx
I watch some craft videos but have also discovered Fabulousover50 and Marie-Anne Lecoeur French chic. I have learned a lot about style from both of them. Love watching the variety you have most of all though. Take care
What a lovely package from Garnier, how nice.
Definitely like my baked beans hot!
Xx
The Monika way is good. She goes charity shopping and recommends ways to find the best items. Agree about the weather. Really miserable. Sorry to hear about your friend. I will have a look at her channel ❤
Cold baked beans......... eeeew🤢. Love your weekly rant, makes me laugh👍. I've been given a plant to look after by my son in law while they're on holiday. He knows my form with plants and still entrusted it to my care. Alan (the plant, can't remember his correct name unfortunately) is currently residing in my greenhouse and so far is still alive. I've got him for another 16 days before I return him to his rightful home. Praying to the ether he makes it🤞. Oh and breaking news from Somerset...... it's sunny 😎😀
Great vlog thank you x
Love baked beans hot or cold, grew up with them like that. Made your delicious Thai rice dish at the weekend it was so tasty xx
Glad you enjoyed it :) x
Hi Caroline. I use Paul Mitchell leave in conditioner. It's in a lavender coloured pump bottle. I buy it from my hairdresser, but you may be able to purchase it elsewhere.Wash you hair twice then towel dry. Put two pumps of conditioner in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together then gently squeeze it through your hair with your palms and fingers. Its a game changer. I will never go back to wash out conditioner again.
Hi Sue - I've never found a leave in conditioner that doesn't weigh down my fine flyaway hair. I love the idea of one though. Might give this one a go.
@@CarolineMrsM I always water down leave in conditioner - save an empty bottle, transfer half, or less of the new product and add cooled boiled water. It still works and stops the hair feeling weighed down.
Brilliant idea!
@@VooodoooDoll Great idea!
Love cold baked beans straight out of tne tin 😊
Strictly star Dianne Buswell has some lovely travel vlogs lately, showing us around Malta a week or so ago. She also loves boot sales and charity shops. She has tremendous zest for life .You may enjoy her vlogs.
My husband found it Caroline. Solar Radiation Management it's called. The Met office video is named What is geo engineering. It's only short. The rain of course will be cloud seeding just as they've done for long time in Dubai. All very bad for crops and normal people trying to grown their own food, probably part of it too, Make us eat genetically modified stuff. I expect Brits will still talk about the weather but it's rather pointless now.
Royal blue really suits you Caroline.
Hi Caroline, great vlog as usual. I wonder if you would consider doing a "packing for a cruise" video. Doing my first med cruise in August and would really appreciate some tips. (Flying from NZ first so have limited suitcase space) ❤
Yes, I can do that! Coming up soon!
@@CarolineMrsM lovely, thank you, will look forward to that 😊
A RUclips channel I love is Freckles in her forties. She does vlogs that I always find comforting to watch and has a lovely personality. I get quite excited when she uploads a new video. I’ve been a subscriber for years.
Another channel I recently discovered is Sophie May. She has a very engaging demeanour and an infectious smile.
I will definitely go and watch some Geordie Grandma videos.
Cold baked beans are delicious!
Thank you for the recommendations :)
I was just going to recommend Freckles in her forties she’s great 👍
I follow Geordie Grandma and it made me very sad to hear about her husbands cancer diagnosis, very kind of you Caroline to mention her, she will need a lot of support right now xx
I tend to wear longer tunics with cropped white leggings , somehow makes them look better , the blue one was nice on you albeit a little long
Hate baked beans full stop. 🤣
Love all of that. Recipe looked yummy. Cold beans noooo I don’t think so. Yes I hate those hard plastic bottles that need two hands to squeeze how do people cope with arthritis and the such. ❤❤ thanks for sharing. ❤
Hi Stella - yes, it definitely motivates me. I've always been a fairly organised person, but I think vlogging encourages me to do things to have things to film, if that makes sense!
Hello Caroline,
I'm the same when it comes to the football 😀⚽ you picked up some fabulous books, the Lisa Snowden book sounds like a good read. I love to watch Mitsi Brown, Pamela from the scottish beauty and spa guide, blonde tea party, finding my style, susan knight, wrap around plus, some are fairly new channels i've found and lesleyanne sparkle is one of my favourite channel 😃Great try-ons love the star and zebra print dress and love the jeans too. With you on the baked beans. I heard Karen's news and her hubby's recent diagnosis. Fab empties and loved the rant. Lovely video, sorry for the long comment I've wrote a book 🤣xxx
Thanks for the recommendations, Kaz, some new ones there for me to check out, hope all is good with you and the family xx
That’s great re borrow box ! I hope it works in Ireland 🇮🇪🙏
Also loved the tshirt dresses and black crops were fab
Thanks, Caroline, that was a lovely vlog. I got some argan oil OGX shampoo and conditioner. The conditioner is so thick that’s it’s nearly impossible to squeeze out. Very frustrating.
I honestly wonder if they even test product packaging sometimes, so annoying!
I have just got out of the shower after also using the OGX conditioner and had to shake and squeeze the bottle so hard I ended up bashing my elbow on the tiles!! The Oplaplex bottle is the same you also have to keep that upside down as the product is so thick and when you are spending a significant amount I think down right ridiculous!! Do they not test these bottles before release!!!
Caroline, I have a recommendation for a RUclips channel I think you would enjoy….it’s called Stylish & Grateful - Fashion over 40, by a woman named Liz in the U.S. She puts out a decent amount of content each week and I have really been enjoying her channel! I agree with you that it feels like a good number of people have been slowing down and I too have been searching for additional content…I look forward to hearing any other suggestions in the comments!❤
I look forward to Wednesday’s great vlog as always. Yes, weather is abysmal here in 🏴 too. Was down your way on the 8th for qtr finals at Wimbledon saw Lulu and Alcaraz amazing day but spoilt by rain, no outside play thank goodness for the roof. Must mention something I think that’s funny I have a tiktok channel and have just noticed I say “I can’t tell you” often I wonder where who I get that from 🤔 😂. Was sad to see Karen’s latest vlog do you remember way back we had a book group zoom years ago with yourself, Karen & Tina? Have a great week I’ll look forward to next Wednesday 😊
Yes, I remember it well! And I think there was a lady from Australia who had trouble connecting as well, from memory! What's your Tiktok channel, Jacqui, I'll pop over and follow?
I’m with you with stock cubes. I’m aware of the salt content so do not use any more.
. I saw Geordie Grandma announce her news as I subscribed to her a while ago..
So sad. Here in Wales we don't pay for prescriptions. When it was decided the powers that be said it was bad enough being ill without having to worry about the cost that comes with it.
Re the woman who corrected you.. naughty Caroline😂. I don't know if you noticed but I had replied to her. I said ' you should not ' 😂😂😂😂😂. Not really but did say, in a polite way, if course, how unnecessary her remark was.
When I was a child I sometimes went to my grans for Monday dinner. It was always the same; cold leg of lamb, creamy mashed potatoes with cold baked beans. Your mention of the beans brought back lovely memories..
Great vlog as usual though the haul wasn't to my taste. I won't be shopping there. Demis Roussos decided for me.🤣
Have a good week Caroline, filled with sunshine.
I did notice, thank you :)
Hi Caroline. I'm from Ireland. I generally enjoy the content of your vlogs. You offer a good variety. I like the clothes hauls as I'm the same age and size as you, im just a much taller version. I like your chats and your rants amuse me so much. Your irritations are very similar to my own. I had been following helen mary joe but unsubscribed recently as she can be can go on and on about nothing, and she tends to be rude about her husband. That speaks volumes.
I love your holiday videos and your tips for the home. I'm also curious about what's in your shopping bag. I often followed your recommendations. I recently purchased that concentrated fabric scent booster, and it's so so good. Another blogger I really enjoy is Mr. Carrington. He goes to car booties and charity shops and brings us on his hols. He's really easy to watch as he gas a very gentle nature. I also like steve marsh and ruth aisling. They both travel around Scotland. They are nice people and a bit mad, which I like. Hope that helps. Get your Asley out hiking around Scotland or come over to Ireland to stay in a shedherds hut beside a beach. 😅
Just keep doing what you are doing. It works for me. And I'm quite fussy 😊
Oh I like Mr Carrington too - very nice chap!
Love Mr Carrington too. Used to listen to Helenmaryjo, up until I made a very nice and positive comment about her upcoming cruise and she came back with a very sarcastic, nasty reply. She thought I was being sarcastic according to her, but I commented on most blogs up to that point and was never rude. I try to stick to "if you've nothing good to say, say nothing". Unsubscribed right away and will not watch or recommend her again. Life's too short.
I find her rude too. No filter. I unsubscribed on the day she was moaning that her dog groomer failed to show up because she had mental health issues. How could anyone say that on a public platform? 😮 @bexp436
@@Brandysnaps7492 she may hope that others have more empathy if she ever needs any. Glad it's not just me. Many thanks
@@bexp436 please could I gently let you know that I find this thread uncomfortable. I don’t know the lady in question personally at all, but as a fellow video creator, I know that I’d be really upset to find myself being discussed in somebody else’s comment section so negatively.
Comments can sometimes be a bit tiring, can’t believe you said that Caroline.
I'm afraid it's true. Sometimes 40 different pieces of advice on the same subject can be a bit overwhelming (though obviously intended in a kind and positive way).
We have had so much rain here too in Sheffield- I could count on one hand the number of nice days we have had this summer. ( And I’d have fingers left over!)
I too always watch Mr Carrington like other viewers have mentioned here. Also watch his friends Luke Catleugh and Dainty Diaries ( I’ve seen you mention Freya Farrington before).
I go to 2 libraries. My local one is run by volunteers and I go to a bigger one which is open more. 14 libraries closed here a few years ago so we need to support them. I’m going to take my Good Housekeeping supplement and see if I can find any of the recommendations.
Yet the met office are saying it was the warmest May since records began, yes and I’m a millionaire watching this on my yacht
The Met Office is located about 15 miles from me, seems like I need to lend them my thermometer as theirs is clearly broken 😂
Some nice outfits and lovely colours on you. I like a spoonful of cold baked beans just before i warm them up yum! Sad to hear of Karen the Geordie grandmas husband. I will sunscribe, every little helps. Such a worry.x
You are not alone Caroline. Yesterday here in Toronto Canada we had over 100 mm of rain , our highways were like rivers. Global warming at its best
To funny I’m watching your video and you’ve just popped up on the tv trying to a swimming cap on standing on your verandah in the rain . 😅 I think it’s an old show the customer is always right . X
Ah yes, my mum told me yesterday the BBC had been repeating that again!
❤😊
Ooh off to Borrowbox ty x
Yes Borrow Box also has audio books for free!
Hi Caroline , I have been enjoying your videos since I first discovered youtube so thank you .I think you might like the American lady Linda Davis Smith . She is based in New England and the content is very relaxing.
Hi Caroline. I would love you to talk about your decision to go off hrt. It’s something I am considering. I think it would be informative. It’s very pro hrt at the minute and it would be nice to hear the other side. Of course you may wish to keep t it private ❤
Happy to chat about it, I’ll prob film a separate video about it 😊
I'm with you with the baked beans, ok hot, inedible cold.
We had a dinner lady at my convent school named Mrs Winterbottom.
Inevitably she was known as Mrs Coldarse. Vulgar little brats weren’t we? 😂
That made me giggle!
My son also won on Lewis too!
Hi Caroline. Can I add my rant of the day? I was writing comments to this video and my iPad battery went! Lost them. That was my fault for not looking, but sometimes my iPad seems to have a mind of its own as well! I share your irritations, and could mention quite a lot more. That conditioner bottle was not fit for purpose! I was so pleased you mentioned Karen’s channel. I already subscribe so had seen the video, but thank you for encouraging viewers. RUclipsrs often mention the percentage of viewers that watch but do not subscribe and it amazes me that is often so low. It cost nothing, and if you like the content then why not subscribe. For interesting cruising info, I watch FraserAtSea - you probably do to. I find him helpful and any criticism is constructive. He reports in a calm way without drama! Someone mentioned Steve Marsh who I watch, and I also like Scott of Planes, Trains and Everything, a fellow Scot of Steve’s. Scott gets to places and areas many people would not have been etc. and has quite a quirky attitude. Mr Carrington has such a lovely calm relaxing composure, and has two beautiful cats that must have THE best life! Thank you for this vlog - I often am able to have a giggle, and at the moment need it, so thanks once again. I like the variety in some of them like today’s.
Thank you for the recommendations, Hazel. Yes, around 50% of my views are from people who aren't subscribed. I suspect the word 'subscribe' on the button puts some people off, as they don't realise it's free, 'subscribe' sometimes indicates payment required, I guess. I bet if the button said 'subscribe here, it's free', there'd be more uptake! I do have a plan to improve this situation soon, however - stay tuned!
I already subscribe to Karen’s channel, she’s a lovely lady.
