Olive and Mabel - Non-Gardener's World.

- Again I wonder about posting a video where not a huge amount actually happens.
But I suppose that in this noisy world there are worse things than a few minutes of flowers and birdsong in a garden and - above all - a couple of dogs wandering through it.
Yes, I am aware that Monty Don will not feel that his job is in danger.
Any further information on plant and bird identification welcome in the comments...

Mabel isn’t bringing you sticks for no reason. She wants a promotion to Branch Manager. 😊
Awesome.
😂
😂😂
😂 love it
Oh God, that’s too funny :-)
Ah yes, of course it's an azalea. 20 years of going to Augusta should have given me that. I was clearly channeling my inner Mabel.
Not to the extent that you're chewing sticks, I hope! 😂
@@kayfj4903not to worry … I’m sure someone will go in after it
Highly toxic to dogs.
Beautiful garden.
Yes, those are highly invasive autumn olive, and grow quite large.
Pink lily of the valley and lilacs blooming their little guts out right now, the yard smells like a perfume factory. Looking forward to the summer perfumes, Summer Sweet and rosa rugosa.
Pls do this in your football commentory style !!!
Your garden is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for letting us visit it! Olive and Mabel are in charge of stick management, which is obviously a great help to you. 😊
Yes, I discovered long ago when I had my own Lab just how important it is to have a stick wrangler on the team. My neighbor in Vermont would see Dodger bringing home a huge stick--a branch, really--and observe, "Looks like it's going to be hard winter."
Among all things in your magnificent garden, all Mable wants is a stick and she was willing to sit for it.
They're competing for the title of Branch Manager...😂
Whose garden were you strolling through? It's a lovely space. Do those dear dogs ever have zoomies there? Looks like they could have a lot of fun racing around the rhododendrons and the pink flowers!😉

My blood pressure went down about 20 points while watching this. Thank you Andrew, Mabel and Olive.
Well said, me too! 😊
Me as well.

Yep! 😊

"Oh, to be so pleased with small things"
Which is why being a dog must be awesome.
Is that a Burns quotation?
..@kieranelliott5607............ I've heard A very similar Saying to you.............
........."little things 'Please' little minds but bigger fools look on!"
(I'm not meaning to be rude, honestly but am wondering if it's another version of what you said!)
That's why they like humans..small thing indeed
Trust us, Andrew Cotter, watching Olive and Mabel wandering oblivious through a garden is the best possible thing to watch right now. Thank you for posting your dogs. Lovely garden, BTW.
"Not swingers. Thanks for asking".
Hilarious!!! 😆
I had to go back and watch it again for the 'swingers' context, which I had missed on first watch. May even take a 3rd stroll, just for the peaceful moments and gentle commentary.
(I'm obviously one of Life's innocents - dummies? - as I had no clue about a link between Pampas grass & swingers 😳)
"The Yellow Flowering Idiot". Poor Mabel!
Meanwhile Olive just wanders about, unhurried and unworried.
Thank you Olive, Mabel & Mr Cotter for the wonderful garden tour! Between the “swingers, yellow idiot, & ice hockey” comments I almost fell off my chair! Hilarious! Love how Olive just lets Mabel be Mabel & does her own mellow thing. Best dog pair on the tube!
❤😂🐶
always appreciate the small things and the joy in a dog's face - and having a moment where "not a huge amount actually happens" is a blissful moment of any day! We LOVE Olive and Mabel🥰
A fabulous start to the week with the wonderful Olive and Mabel 🥰
🐶🐕💖💖
I was in a bad mood when I got home, and now I'm not. Thanks to Olive and Mabel😀
And Andrew’
@@susanyoung10 Yes! And Andrew!
Mabel’s devotion to getting her roughage is admirable.
Thanks for the tour. Very Zen. Always enjoy seeing Olive and Mabel.
...and hearing his voice!!!!! That accent and calm tone!!! Love it!!!❤
Funny thing to me is that in this day and age, a man can publish videos that have entirely as their content, with no other material or commentary added, of a quick tour of the garden (and a lovely garden it is too) accompanied by his two pet labradors (and lovely labradors they are) while making off-the-cuff comments about it all. And that's it. That's the video which has 6.4K "likes" (and rising). AND I WHOLEHEARTEDLY APPROVE!! Lovely video Mr. Cotter. They don't come often and I love it when they do. You provide a moment's peace and tranquility in an otherwise chaotic world. Thank you. 🙂
I identified two very good and beautiful dogs ❤
You have a beautiful garden.
On behalf of the Hedgehogs 🦔 and other wee beasties, thank you for the wilderness half. 😊
Indeed, Olive and Mabel are the most beautiful things in the garden, along with your own self. Thank you for this journey through your lovely sanctuary with your adorable dogs.
Such a beautiful garden! I especially enjoyed those two traveling plants named Olive and Mable. Thank you for the quiet tour.
Lost my chocolate lab last Friday after 14 years it really leaves a big hole in your life. So seeing these guys enjoying themselves is good therapy indeed.
🐾🌈♥️🇦🇺
Sorry to read that. An awful time.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I bet you gave your lab a beautiful life. ❤
Bless you. Enjoy the wonderful memories which you shared. Time spent with our four-legged friends is always so very special.
My heart broke when our 12 year old choc lab passed. Sending you love 💐💐💐
I adore the beautiful older black labs who wear their grey with such style ❤
Olive is a classy girl
Mine just turned 10 and he definitely has the grey.
@@geewhizify Expand this for a view of Whiteface Black Avatar Dog.
BEAUTIFUL garden and 2 adorable and precious young ladies to help with the tour. THANK YOU 🥰
Not to worry... I'd watch this over anything else - simple pleasures are more needed than all the other "noise".
Life is a gift, manifested by flowers, dogs, and even the enjoyment of a stick. We should all be so fortunate.
Thank you, Andrew and friends, for bringing us once again so much joy❤❤❤
Lovely Garden , lovely dogs…slow and easy in this oh so chaotic world… thank you MR Cotter, Olive and Mabel❤️
Your garden is stunning The bird songs made my heart happy. Thank you ladies for your companionship 💕. Thank you Andrew. 😊
Thank you for the tour of your lovely garden. I also love the two labrador species in your garden. They are of the genus Adorabilis. Until next time, take care.
Please take us through the seasons of your beautiful garden.
Beautiful trip through the garden! Love the end, ".....and you, Olive!" TWO beautiful dogs ! ❤
Absolutely an AMAZING GARDEN! Thank you for sharing! The two most BEAUTIFUL flowers though are sweet Olive and Mabel!!! Again, thank you for making my day with this video! ❤
These few minutes with you, Olive and Mable and your garden have brought a lovely moment of peace, thank you
I love the Yellow Flowering idiot!! Thanks for the upload @mrandrewcotter
Any garden is much improved with the addition of a yellow flowering idiot!
and Olive!
Never underestimate the importance of hockey stick gathering and daisy pruning.
Gorgeous garden complete with wild patches.
Such a lovely enchanting garden. Nice to see Olive and Mabel 😊
Thankyou for sharing your lovely garden with us, what could be better than a few minutes of sunshine, flowers and birdsong? Ah yes: Sunshine, flowers, birdsong, happy dogs and all narrated with a Scottish voice! I love the wild areas, so good for wildlife! I think that pink flowering shrub may be an azalea, which is part of the huge rhododendron family.
What a fabulous garden! I live in the high desert in northern Nevada (US) and I can only dream about such a garden. And watch your video a bajillion times. LOL Love the walking K-9 shrubs. :)
Thank you for sharing and giving me calm. I was having an anxiety attack and heading towards destress but your voice, the dogs &your beautiful garden worked wonders. They should prescribe your videos on the NHS! Take care 😊
Glad they all helped.
That is why my Blood Pressure was rising. It dropped when I had no access to Social Media, and had "Olive, Mabel & Me", instead. He is correct. They did crop him out of the North America version.
And just when you need them - they appear. Thank you.
Yes, we all need our regular fix of Olive and Mabel, don't we?
Thanks, Andrew, for this peaceful ramble through your beautiful garden. The birdsong, blooming shrubs, and your sweet girls made my day. How lovely to see Mabel on stick patrol and Olive keeping watch over everyone. Their simple pleasure in each moment is exemplary. And how fitting to end on a shot of Mabel’s magnificent schnoz. Warmest wishes to you all.
Rhododendron appears in captions as (among other things) “roaded engine” and “rotary engine,” and it makes me happy in a way I can’t explain.
Thank you for sharing your garden and pretty girls with us!
AI, doing its usual tone deaf job.
Thanks for that lovely walk with your beautiful assistants.
You have a very pretty garden, Mr Cotter. And 2 very pretty dogs. 😊
Always a pleasure to see your girls, and you have a lovely garden for them...
And......Spanish Bluebells!
Love your videos & your two very, very good & beautiful doggos ❤️ 🐾🐾🐕🐕
I've always enjoyed your lovable dogs, your clever, droll sense of humor, and your very appealing brogue, but who knew what a wonderous garden you had, Andrew. (I've never seen so many rhododendrons before! 😉) But your closing remark about the most beautiful thing(s) in the garden blindsided me in such a deeply touching way. Quite possibly your finest hour.
What a stunning garden! Also such beautiful and wonderful dog helpers 💜💜
Wow, stunning garden and the quality of the tour guides was sublime! Just what we all needed in this crazy world, some beautiful bird song, joyful flowers, Andrew's dulcet tones and the most adorable doggoes on the planet! Thank you....
Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden with us. Love those scrumptious doggies.
Beautiful garden, gorgeous dogs and the dulcet tones of Mr Cotter. Bliss.❤
Andrew, Olive and Mabel, three of the best in the world.
Beautiful Mabel and beautiful Olive 💓💓😍
A beautiful natural living garden. My compliments.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful Garden. I love seeing Olive and Mable.
As a Brit who has been transplanted into Malaysia for the last God knows when, it is very restful to be taken round a huge, slightly unkempt garden, listening to the birds in the background. May your life, and that of Mabel and Olive, always be so peaceful.
What an amazing garden! olive and Mabel have clearly worked hard on it.
❤
You have some unusual plants in your beautiful, tranquil garden. No better way to end the video than a close up of lovely Mabel's face. 💖
What a lovely large garden. Love the layout. Can you please take us again when everything is in full bloom? Would love to see the Wisteria Tree in full bloom. Thank you.
That pink flower I think would be an Azalea. BTW all you need is a wet nose and a wagging tail to make a good video!
“The most beautiful things in the garden” Mabel and Olive ❤
I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!!
Lovely; just lovely! A glimpse of calm in a chaotic world. A gorgeous garden, two wonderful dogs, and AC's usual gently ironic and affectionate commentary. Can't you bottle this stuff?! Thank you, Andrew, Olive and Mabel.
Pink azalea. Gorgeous, just like O&M.
Love the reference to ice hockey. Very clever and made me chuckle. ❤️
The pink-red flowering bush is an azalea I think. We had loads in all sorts of colours in my childhood home.
Your estate is fabulous. The girls look good among the foliage.
That’s not a garden, it’s a park! Thanks for sharing the video, Olive and Mabel never fail to cheer me up.
I thought it must be a famous botanic garden. How many gardeners would be needed to maintain it?!
I envy your beautiful garden and variety of plants and flowers. I do not have a green thumb by any stretch and enjoyed your lesson in flora and the girls.☺️🌷🐾🐾
Beautiful garden! Something I'll never have 😢 Thank you for sharing 💙💙💙 to you, Olive and Mabel... stay well and happy!
Never have? Can one ask why not? A garden can be any size (Mr Cotter's is exceptional!) but we can all aspire to some form of gardening pleasure, surely?
@marciamcgrail5889 definitely aspire... true! I was referring to the immensity and beauty it embodies. Believe it or not, I've been known to "kill" cactus 🤣 My dad had the green thumb 😊 I received a Ponytail Palm a while ago, and miraculously, it still lives! Keeping my fingers crossed that continues... stay well!
Omg what a beautiful garden, I’d pay to walk around it
Love the gardens and it goes without saying, love the dogs! ❤
Azalea - The pink flowers
What is the scrub May in the saying "never cast a clout out to May is out"?
That's what I thought. I have several in my garden.
Your instinct was correct…it is an azalea, but all azaleas are rhododendrons…but not all rhododendrons are azaleas.
Oooohh thank you!
@@norabrown5584clout means cloth or clothes. It means don’t take off your clothing till May goes out because it’s too cold
I only recently discovered Your videos which are wonderful ! Gorgeous garden! And oh, my, a true dog lover goes into their dog’s mouth to remove something that might be bad. Be Extremely Careful of the “ pink flower” which is an azalea, and it is VERY TOXIC to dogs!!
Smaller fuschia flowers are azaleas. Such a wonderful garden and space to sit
The birdsong was like a soundtrack to your garden wonderland - so serene. Great to see Olive and Mabel!
Such lovely gardeners 😊❤🐾🐶
Hearing you at Wimbledon was commentating was lovely and I feel like next year you and Andy Murray would be grand to do it together!
Beautiful and you have such great helpers too 🐾🐾
You have a beautiful garden full of lovely smells for the girls. Thanks for sharing. x
What a beautiful, beautiful home! I couldn’t even dream of ever having a garden like that, wow 🪴
A hockey stick, pruning the daisies and other green things 😂😂😂
What an amazing garden and always Olive and Mabel the stars of the show 💖
Thank You for Sharing. Absolutely Beautiful!
A few others I saw while you were giving us this exemplary tour... The first two unidentified pink ones were deciduous azaleas, close in appearance to rhodies. Noticed what might be a very mature pieris japonica alba ( white lily of the valley shrub ) next to the wisteria? And lots of lady fern athyrium in with the forget-me-nots, looks to be cynoglossum variety rather than the shorter fuller myosotis ones? Several Dutch and Siberian iris ( flags? ) Holly ( ilex )... Hedera ( ivy ) over the stumps on the hill... Fun fact: commonly called bluebells can be either scilla varieties or hyacinthoides hispanica and those look Spanish? Oi vey, Scots struggle with the buttercup too, which we hate over here in Canada - very invasive, eh? I am glad to see Olive still climbing the hill in her seniordom. Both your girls and the garden are just lovely - thanks!
Beautiful garden! Mabel is just doing her part to provide mulch. 😊
Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden. Mable makes me think of all the jokes about blondes that was around when I was younger.
This was so peaceful and calming. Loved it.
Your garden is really lovely - strangely, I enjoyed your video much more than watching Gardeners World lately. The wilder meadow areas provide lots of insects for birds to eat and the wild garlic and bluebells were very pretty.
Listening to Mr Cotter commentating on the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony. LEGEND.
Mabel has the most beautiful smile when she looks at you ❤️
Oh to have such a great garden with two great dogs. The birdsong was terrific.
What a gorgeous garden and with Olive and Mabel, that just makes is perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Andrew, your videos are fantastic, Please dont ever stop posting even if you think not alot happens, hearing you and seeing olive and mabel brings so much joy to so many people.
Thank you.
"Garlic and Forgetmenots" Sounds like the title of a lovely novel!
I think, but don't quote me, that that pink plant is an azalea. Lovely garden.
Your garden-cum-local park is absolutely beautiful, all set to the music of birdsong. Just perfect. 😊🐾🐾
Thank you for the tour great fun hugs to olive and Mabel ❤❤
Maybe posting a video where not much happens and the natural world is just celebrated a bit is what we need more of. Thank you for posting. High points were Mabel's sticks and the bee identification. And a wilder garden is a more interesting place. I agree. "Oh to be so pleased with small things." A good wish for the whole world.
Love your videos, whatever their content. The flowers and birdsong are beautiful. Your canine assistants add the finishing touch. P.S. I, too, cannot get my dogs to “leave it.”
Wonder not about posting such a video where nothing much happens . It is precisely that which makes this such a joyful experience . A beautiful garden , two beautiful dogs and your commentary and the decision to share with strangers creates such a glorious thing . Thank you and best wishes
Gorgeous garden! Thank you for sharing it, and of course your two excellent assistants. ❤
"Autumn Olive" so, that's a bit of a pest. Andrew, your garden is so gorgeous! Everything I like grows here in your wonderful climate and soil. Your azaleas are much more bold in color than they they grow where I live in North Central Florida. I love your pebble path, too. Your rhododendrons are out of this world! I love an interesting, winding, wild garden with so many different plants, grasses and flowers. Florida, even North Central Florida gets too hot and doesn't have enough continuous rainy seasons to have the variety you do. I am not living in the best place for the sort of gardens I love. Just love seeing Mable's pretty face and Olive's sweet, dogged attention to detail in the garden. You are living in Heaven on Earth, dogs and all. 😊❤
Thank you for sharing your lovely garden and beautiful dogs. What a peaceful place to wander with the birdsong and wonderful flower scents.
Excellent garden tour, Mr. Cotter, and your co-hosts were amusing as always. YES, it is perfectly okay to tell Mabel of her beauty, AND Ms. Olive, too! Enjoyed very much. Cheers from still-nippy Canuck-land!
