I. Am. Cold. Living on a cold, damp island means the Brits are experts at warming things, particularly when that thing is water. More importantly, can someone find me a portable airing cupboard? The ones at Lakeland are massive!
In hot muggy weather fill your hot water bottle with water and put in the freezer and when you are ready for bed wrap a towel around it to stop condensation and place it by your feet it will keep you cool all night
Hi Bekah, Just found your videos and wanted to congratulate you on how enjoyable they are.Your presentation is brilliant and most relaxing to watch.Best wishes from the north of England.
Another thing we do is warm the dinner plates in the oven or microwave (1min) so the food stays hotter for longer. Why? Because we're a sensible down to earth country.
Just as the British God made us, and yes God is British. That's why we don't have earthquakes in this country, someone who builds a city on something called the San Andreas Fault really has got it coming, in fact it's not San Andreas's Fault is it.................. (Partial Quote from the legendary Al Murray).
Top tip, you can fill your "hot" water bottle with cold water in summer to keep cool. (We don't have air conditioning either). If we don't have an airing cupboard we just stick everything on the radiators.
Bekah...please please please don’t put boiling water into the hot water bottles. Boiling water can cause the seams of the water bottle to split! Be careful love....just use hot tap water. My friend burned herself severely using boiling water... Love your videos...the two of you have such beautiful energy together. Infinite Blessings, Love and Light 🙏🏻😇
This is why you need to keep the cover on your hot water bottle, at least for the first bottle of the evening. You fill the hot water bottle, tuck your jammies inside the cover and tuck the whole thing in your bed to warm your sheets. Then you can go to bed, take the cover off the bottle, slip your warm jammies on, and climb into a warm bed with a bottle just cool enough to cuddle without the cover. Simples.
So right about the umbrella; the wind will blow it inside out. Better to use a waterproof top with a hood as you said, then you have both hands free. Also i have found a baseball cap under the hood is useful for keeping the rain out of your eyes and stopping the hood from blocking your vision when you turn your head.
Jon does the same with the baseball cap! At first it seemed strange to me to see a Brit wearing an American Red Sox hat. I have always been too fussy about my hair to wear hats, but then I learned that if it's a rainy day in England my hair is going to frizz anyway so I may as well get over it!
Living in Chicago Area i feel the cold too . Layers , hot beverages and a heated throw but I like the idea of a heated cabinet very much . Once again great Video.
Hi Brit , I got 1 of those looooooong water bottles for my daughter as a stocking filler for Christmas as she’s having a baby , she loves it , the best present she got at Christmas she reckons and most used 👍
I was confused, thinking you pronounced faux as fox, then realised you actually were saying fox and not saying 'faux' incorrectly. I thought I bought you a faux fur hat. Thank you for clarifying it is actually a faux fox fur hat.
Haha, yes. It is a faux fox fur hat, which I wear with my for-real fox fur scarf. Kate Middleton was actually criticized because her hat comes with a fox fur bobble, but she claims she had the company use a faux fox fur bobble.
@@thomasjones335 You do realise if you keep standing on it, before you use it, -weakens it and it might burst when you least expect it.........just saying!
Dang it! Now I want some true wellys lol. I bought some cheap polka dot rain boots and haven't been able to use them here but tonight and tomorrow it will be raining. They sit next to the door ;) I have seen portable radiators somewhere but if you have central heating🤷🏾♀️...warm jammies would be awesome though. Over here you know hot water bottles were only for one thing so haven't seen them used as warming ones self😄 Nice bvlog! X
Thank you!! I do have a portable radiator at work lol! Once the heating is fixed there I'll probably bring it home. Hunter fit better than some of the cheap ones I've had. If I can find cheap ones in a size 11 they are usually too wide for my foot or they are so thin that even in socks my feet freeze. I use them for schlepping around the yard (for some reason our neighborhood is just...damp. I have 2 sump pumps and the drainage is still poor).
Not sure your 'trench coat' is what I as an older Brit consider to be a trench coat. Think Inspector Gadget! I know styles change and I have no doubt yours is a trench coat, but mine was always knee length, belt etc. Great video, I always like seeing British life from a foreign persons point of view.

That's a good idea! I sleep really hot in the summer so I'll try that out.

Thank you so much! I've never known of it actually having happened to someone. I usually use the water from the sink unless I'm in a lot of pain.
I'm surviving american Winter in the best way. I traveled to Africa. 80 degrees in January
I'm so glad you made it!!! Enjoy spending time with your lovely lady. Jon and I have missed hearing from you!
Ick! We have 80 degree days here already so nope! I like the cold😉
We have an inch of slushy snow with more freezing rain to come. I'll trade!!!
@@BritTucky I did hear that was going to happen

Ahhh, that's a great idea! It requires lots of planning and patience on my part, but it sounds so cozy!

Thank you! Chicago has it much rougher in the winter than we do in Kentucky.

Would be great if the faux fox fur hat was made by a company called fee-fye wouldn't it.
Be careful you do not roll over on to a hot water bottle while asleep as it is hot water and you might get scolded if it bursts!👍
Good point!

I'm watching this with one. 👌

Electric blankets are good for cold nights,apart from a partner.lol
I use Jon to warm my feet!
Hunters are shit really, just a brand, search on Amazon for neoprene wellies. Super comfortable and super warm.
I do like the way they fit my foot compared to the cheap ones I've gotten here, which is fairly narrow.
Got a pair of steely toes neoprene wellies,very comfortable but thick socks warmed on the radiator also a must.
Hog roast tasty
