I am only at the beginning of the vlog and I had to stop and tell you that I could just sit and watch those leaves falling in your garden all day long, together with the music soundtrack. Very soothing and restful. Just love the nature content you produce. 🌿🌿☘️🍀
Apart for the noisy pheasant, there were some awesome birds twittering in the background. You have them well trained! Loved the intro of the video with the leaves falling. The best part as ever, was little Lumi come running up to you from the brambles!!
Let the leaves stay. As they break down they put good nutrients in the soil. The soil will compact some with the rain over the next few months so you'll have to top it off after about a year or so. You will also lose some as you pull out dead plantings. It looks great!
I just love your videos, really do. This had me especially happy with the bird's sounds in the evening. It just made me so nostalgic for a summer evening in the country...oh...
Your vlogs are so calming, and also love the changes. The raised flower beds look amazing. On the Decaf subject, it is strange for most, however I am speaking for myself, I have decaf because I cannot drink caffeine due to certain medications that I take. I love coffee so decaf it is for me. You are always so gracious.
Great job Ali!! Can't wait to see your newly renovated rooms!!

Hey Ali, had you guys thought of buying land and building your dream home that way instead of renovating this one? My husband and I are doing this as we've spent over a year searching for the right house and just couldn't find one that didn't need allot of renovations, so we've decided to build it instead. Could be close to the same price as the house + all the renos.
@@sallyannc3176 Yea I also drop a lot of stuff on my floors filming ect.. could get pretty damaged but that could also play into the ageing of the floor...
*'ELLO Ali, as a fellow gardener* I wanted to share, that those are looking really good! I bet Lumi thinks your putting in luxury potty for her though...🤣 *Some helpful advice. If you put in square foot gardening grids then, clear plastic forks tins up, it is low profile kitty deterrent.*
A storm with Ali’s name cancelled Ali’s plans for golf! What an irony!😂 I loved the videos about your wardrobe and office before! By seeing those designs I can say that I’m over exited and I cannot wait to see the final results! The design and though behind them are perfect!
Oh God! I sat down and wrote so many things that RUclips decided to cut out the half comment OR I did something stupid and deleted the comment myself😅😅😅 I wrote Ali’s name because Ali told us in another video that his actual name is Alistair! As many of you don’t know Alistair delivers from the Greek name Alexander!!! Yes! The name Alexander is the most spread name in the world!!! It has been translated into many languages and adopted by many nations! First things first, Alexander is a Greek name and its etymology is this: Αλέξανδρος / Alèxandros Αλεξ - ανδρός / alex - andros Αλέξω + άνδρας / alèxo + àndras Alèxo is a verb meaning I repel, I’m pushing back, and àndras means male/man So, Alèxandros means the one that repels the other men (the enemies) and keeps safe his country/family whatever! Of course, it spread globally because of the notorious Greek Emperor Alexander the Great! The king and Emperor of the Makedonian Empire! The translations of his name are the following: Alasandar : Ireland 🇮🇪 Ալեքսան (Alek’san) : Armenia 🇦🇲 Alexander : England 🏴 Aleksandër : Albania 🇦🇱 Александър(Alexandūr) : Bulgaria 🇧🇬 Alexandre : Portugal 🇵🇹 Alessandro : Italy 🇮🇹 Alexandre : France 🇫🇷 Александар (Aleksandar) Serbia 🇷🇸 Aлександр (Alyeksandr) Russia 🇷🇺 Aleksandrs : Latvia 🇱🇻 Aleksander : Estonia🇪🇪 Sweden🇸🇪 Norway🇳🇴 Finland🇫🇮 Slovenia🇸🇮 Poland🇵🇱 Alejandro : Spain 🇪🇸 Alexandru: Romania 🇷🇴 Iskander : Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 Egypt 🇪🇬 Iskandiar : Iran 🇮🇷 (Persia at ancient times) İskender : Turkey 🇹🇷 Sándor : Hungary 🇭🇺 Sikandar : India 🇮🇳 Xander : South Africa 🇿🇦 Xandru : Malta 🇲🇹 אלכסנדר : Israel 🇮🇱 And finally : Alasdair and Dair are in Gaelic languages 🏴 Scotland, Wales and England, they are all speaking English but every places has its own language! Welsh language has Celtic roots! Scottish and Irish have Gaelic roots! But Irish and Scottish are not quite the same languages, there are many different ways to write the name due to the differences between Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic! Alasdair, Alistair, Allistair, Alisdair, Aleister, Alastair και Alister are all the same name, Alèxandros! I don’t know if you have Scottish or Irish roots but your name is from Scotland/Ireland!
OK I've only started watching and that decaffeinated coffee is doing you No favours pet.. It was so sweet I had to tap back a few times to make sure I heard you right.. "Raised Vegetable bedages " Bless ya Ali, get strong coffee down ya pet. Lol X
I never understand why you didn’t have one of the many rooms in the home as an office, From the beginning ? Now your finally doing it 🤔you guys are spending so much money and time on redoing everything you’ve already done. Not being negative, but its quite crazy.
🇬🇧 I’m really looking forward to your TWO new rooms; I’m hoping for motivation inspo for me to begin the arduous prep work needed in my home as, I wear all the hats in my decorating process the labourer hat (ripping out/stripping/filling/sanding and ceiling painting) is my most disliked hat in the colder months🥺
Very cool and unpretentious. However don't let any drama grumpiness and negativity around you rub on you. Love your videos. Very polished and talented. Tune out the noise in your life. Stay blessed 💐
Move to the Countryside, Ali. Come join the Country set! Save your money- buy another house and get into our way of life. Would ADORE those vlogs. Golfing and loadsa space ⛳️
So exiting with the bees 🐝 I just want to share a little tip and share a story. My parents once had two beehives in their garden and my yorkie got stung. I found out that he was allergic to bee sting and fortunately my stepmom had antihistamine that we quickly gave him and therefore saved his life. So I just want you to have in mind that sweet Lumi might be allergic and can get stung if she tries to catch the bees around the garden and in the woodland. I'm not trying to frighten you but you might want to consult with your wet and get some antihistamine in hand in case accidents happens.
It’s a fair point. We actually have three active bee hives within half a mile of the house and often have honey bees in the Garden so Lumi is already susceptible to stings, it’s a great idea to try and pick up something for her. I’m also concerned about people who visit which is why i’m going to be taking a h&s course.
@@AliGordon Okay so she is obvious used to lots of bee flying around and hopefully won't be as interested in them as my yorkie was. I definitely think that the course is a must. My parents took one as well and learned so much from it. Also a good point to have in mind that humans can be allergic as well. We actually had an accident where a bee got inside a bee suit and crawled up a persons leg but fortunately nothing happened to the bee or the person. After a couple of years they sold the colony and hive because of my dog and small grandchildren in our family. To bad because they really enjoyed the hobby and the honey was so so good. I look forward to go along your beekeeper journey and hope you will inspire other to keep bees and give them a helping hand to survive in the future. Also I would like you thank you for excellent content and I'm really enjoying your weekly vlogs.
I think probably best to create a compost heap, otherwise putting grass clippings directly on the beds will deplete all the nutrients from the soil whilst they rot. Having a compost is perfect when creating a vegetable garden.👍
If you follow Justin Rhodes, he is a permaculture farmer. They have raised beds as well and they had put in rotten stumps in the bottom of their raised beds as it helps fill it and it will decompose providing nutrients throughout the box. Full of information. And if you want to have a proper farm one day, he’s your man.
Loved the start of the video with the leaves falling...so beautiful. You are such a hard worker Ali...you remind me of my husband who when we first got married and got our first house...learnt how to do plumbing and electrical etc....now 37 years later and in our 2nd forever home there are still projects to be done! He is such a little older and slower..lol!
(Sorry, two comments) the plant pots in your kitchen - do they ever “stick” to your window sills? If not, do you happen to know what type of paint finish is on your sills? Random question I know, but I can’t put any pots on my window sills or on top of the fireplace because the paint finish sticks to the terra-cotta 😭 and I’m not sure how to fix it
I dont like the picture frame under light should leave it alone more classy looking without it! Dont get me wrong just for M own opinion , good thing you guys has a good taste ni matter what!!
I am a new subscriber. Ali, what is the brand and color of the black wall? I am going to start our project at home and I will ask my husband to do it too while he is off this week. ;)
Hi Ali, i just wanted to recommend a channel to you. I know how much you love your photography and filming and I watched this guy he came up on my recommended feed and i couldn't help but think of you. You may already know him anyway, he has a huge amount of subscribers and views. His name is Peter Mckinnon. Photographer. He did some amazing shots with a car. I know how busy you are but you might like to take a look. I know this is nothing to do with your video today but just thought you might like what he does. Thanks :-)

Hard working and responsible (going on a bee keeping course 🐝), this is why we love Ali.
Thanks for the update. I enjoy your home and garden vlogs so much. All your hard work is producing an amazing home. Well done.
❤️
I preferred the garden with no raised beds as they spoil what was a lovely open space.
Let the leaves stay. As they break down they put good nutrients in the soil. The soil will compact some with the rain over the next few months so you'll have to top it off after about a year or so. You will also lose some as you pull out dead plantings. It looks great!
Ahh this is amazing to know thank you for sharing
The autumnal colours in the garden look amazing, I think it shows the garden at its best this time of year.
I completely agree 👌🏻. Autumn is well up there as the best time for the country aesthetic.
Loved your intro. With all those beds, you are going to have enough food to feed an army!
I’m sure the wildlife will make good use of them hahaha
@@AliGordon the deer are gonna love the garden...not only do they eat veggies they eat flowers...
The mood board for your dressing room has a Gentlemen's Club, Ralph Lauren Home look. Very sophisticated.
@19:12 Lumi is already picking out her favorite new loo in the vegetable garden
Quality control in the veg department falling apart from day one haha
That’s what I thought! Gee thanks Dad for the great, big litter boxes!!
I just love your videos, really do. This had me especially happy with the bird's sounds in the evening. It just made me so nostalgic for a summer evening in the country...oh...
Looking forward to going on your bee journey with you! 🐝🐝🐝
I got an email today with my course dates 🙌🏻
Your vlogs have become such a treat lately Ali :) both calming and informative!
Your vlogs are so calming, and also love the changes. The raised flower beds look amazing. On the Decaf subject, it is strange for most, however I am speaking for myself, I have decaf because I cannot drink caffeine due to certain medications that I take. I love coffee so decaf it is for me. You are always so gracious.
Next level productivity! Can’t wait to see the planted veg gardens. Plans for house updates look beautiful 😍
Its probably the best time to learn bee keeping, now you will be an expert for when you do get your bees.
🤞🏻
Awesome plans Ali. Can’t wait to see them underway. Garden looks great as always...and you are just amazing! 😁👏🏻👍
Ali your content is just leveling up constantly, like your videos are turning into feature films. Keep up the amazing work.
I love the mood boards & I’m so excited for you both. I can’t wait to see the transformations. 🎉👌
Fingers crossed we can get working on the rooms soon
Can't wait to see the transformation. Such a lovely home!
You are such a lovely husband. You put all the other lovely husbands to shame.
I doubt that we all have our different strengths
@@AliGordon I agree with the lovely husband part. You have a kind heart.
Good luck with the Study/Office and your Dressing room. Fingers cross that the latter can be done before Christmas for you.
Μy mum grows her own veggies and she loves your videos waiting for yours to grow! As for me i love lumi♥♥
I’m sure we are going to fail a few times but will be nice when we get a little routine going
Love the intro! Everything is looking wonderful! U both have done a great job!
Really obsessed w the b-roll at the start of your videos. Always so beautiful.
Great job Ali!! Can't wait to see your newly renovated rooms!!
Hey Ali, had you guys thought of buying land and building your dream home that way instead of renovating this one? My husband and I are doing this as we've spent over a year searching for the right house and just couldn't find one that didn't need allot of renovations, so we've decided to build it instead. Could be close to the same price as the house + all the renos.
This is one of the dream house i think for everyone! For this house , somebody must work really hard ,like he! He deserved that!💪🏻🙌🏻 Good luck man 🍀
Once you get a natural hardwood floor, you will want the whole house to be hardwood.
😅 I can imagine
@@sallyannc3176 Yea I also drop a lot of stuff on my floors filming ect.. could get pretty damaged but that could also play into the ageing of the floor...
I love your videos. They're always so lovely and fun. I like getting the guy's point of view from the Millen-Gorden household.
*'ELLO Ali, as a fellow gardener* I wanted to share, that those are looking really good! I bet Lumi thinks your putting in luxury potty for her though...🤣 *Some helpful advice. If you put in square foot gardening grids then, clear plastic forks tins up, it is low profile kitty deterrent.*
I have started herbs in my kitchen. It's addictive. You guys make gardening trendy. I have bought a watering can from Selfridges.
You are one worker bee, aren't you! (No pun intended 😜)
A storm with Ali’s name cancelled Ali’s plans for golf! What an irony!😂

I would worry about resale with two top rooms being wardrobes and no space for beds...
I was thinking that too but they have I believe 3 bedrooms downstairs
It’s a”forever”house!
Most people buying this level of home would want two dressing rooms. Not uncommon at all in a luxury home.
Fair enough, but I'd expect a house of this size to have more bedrooms and a whole top floor of wardrobes seems excessive to me
@@omygod9062 🤣
You should put all the grass clippings and leaves in your garden beds. Great for them!
I think probably best to create a compost heap, otherwise putting grass clippings directly on the beds will deplete all the nutrients from the soil whilst they rot. Having a compost is perfect when creating a vegetable garden.👍
All looks fab - well done you 👍

we have an eggshell paint on them, they don't stick but the muddy water stains them however so far it's managed to wipe off.
Ali Gordon thanks!
It was so satisfying to watch!
Great decision!
Great update video Ali.
why have you put a liner on the base of the veg beds? the worms won't be able to come through
possibly weeds?
What's the name and shade of white colour on the wall behind you? It's great
I drink decaf as I get a lot of headaches but I still love the taste of coffee and don’t want to go without
Very fair point
Caffeine is actually used to alleviate headaches...
Love Ali!! Jsi šikovný. Přeji Ti hezký život, czech republic , Pavla.
What app can I use for mood board?
Ali! What’s the lazer you use for placing your frames? I’m looking for one don’t know how it’s called
Mines a PLS laser, also DeWalt do a version of it.
I was hoping it would be a study!
It’s all looking lovely x
I always enjoy your vlogs, thank you.
