When you first started the garden beds, I remember thinking…..Lydia, the garden is so much like life. It’s never done, it’s never perfect, you learn as you go. Years and seasons are different and the garden evolves just like we do. Love love love what you are creating.
Touch grass lad
Amazing word " garden is so much like life" ❤
There is a house in my neighborhood that has always, for decades, had a “messy, run down” front garden. It isn’t until these past couple months that I realized, via you and Ali, that it is not as it appears. It is wild and wonderful, and those are wild flowers meant for bees! I can’t thank you enough for helping change my mindset on a day to day basis. ❤
I don’t know why but I never really comment on your videos Lydia. But just had to mention what an amazing gift you are to so many people. You’re my reminder to keep going and keep reaching for my dreams. Thank you so much for being brave enough to pour your soul into a book and share it with the world ❤
I’m about to cry 🥹 After so many years of following you across all platforms, I am so happy to see the peace in your world ❤ It brings me so much joy to see you doing well, Lydia!
Thank you so so much 🤍
It’s so nice that you each “prep” the house for each others return home ❤
Congrats on your book 👏👏 This was a very raw and real video for you and to me before videos seemed to say “look at me and what I have” - but lately they say “listen to me and how I feel” which is so real and refreshing to value where you are in your life and all you have accomplished doing what you love 👏👏❤️❤️
Lydia, you have no idea how much your words today have effected me! I feel like I’m sinking into quick sand and cannot catch a life line. Thank you for reminding me that the struggles I am currently facing WILL end and there is a happier story on the other side.
Take heart dear. I was in a really dark place recently too but I am on the other side of it now. You will get there. Sending love, prayers and hugs your way. God will see you through just like He did me ❤❤❤
I agree, home grown food can bring so much joy. The best things in life are free.
Lydia, this was probably my most favorite videos of yours. I have been watching you for years, and you are becoming such a lovely and grown up woman right before my eyes. Life is a journey, and each of us have our own soul paths that have been perfectly laid just for us.... but watching someone share each step in their own personal story in weekly videos is quite special. When you started to read the passage from your journal about buying a bag (but it didn't make you happy) it really resonated with me. I have a closet full of designer bags that are now 10+ years old and collecting dust. It is a museum of my professional "success" if you will .... but it also never brought me more than a day or two of momentary happiness. I use the same one or two bags over and over now and it is just fine. I don't actually CARE anymore about what bag I have on my arm....and it is just a great stage of life to be in. Too bad I had to spend thousands to get here. :-) I love the direction you are taking your channel, and I can't wait to see more.
Thank you for your video today. I suffer from depression and am a full on clutter gal. Your video inspired me to make a change as I have done many times when I've felt better.
If you can, exercise! Good chemicals are produced in your muscles that travel to your brain.. you may feel better! And don’t forget, you are truly and always loved ❤
The best things in life are free: The sound of children’s laughter, your babies first smile, butterflies on your flowers, birdsong first thing in the morning - I could go on. Cherish every second
Lydia can we please talk about what the book is about? I still don't know what it is about!! Like what's the theme? Chapters?
On Amazon if you click Book Description it tells you all about the book. I have a fair few months ahead of me until the book is released so I decided to talk about the journey to the book for the announcement but I have copied the book description below if you can’t wait until we get into that as I wanted to talk through that when I had the physical book to do so
Inspired by the wisdom of the natural world, Evergreen is the essential guide for anyone who is looking to unearth their inner strength and bring more joy and contentment into their everyday.
Season by season, Evergreen offers practical advice and ideas that will inspire you to reconnect with nature, follow what you truly desire deep down and channel your inner strength throughout life's inevitable ebbs and flows. From learning to fall in love with nature to embracing the power of amateur status, rethinking your relationship with comparison to embracing solitude when you need it, Evergreen will take you by the hand and empower you with the tools to pursue your own version of an evergreen life in the days and months ahead.
Whether Evergreen finds you at a time of peace and fulfilment or a time of challenge and uncertainty, this is a book that will uplift you with a fresh perspective and be a comfort you can return to at every age and stage of your journey to come.
As the season turns is a podcast dedicated to what to look out for in nature per month. It’s very educational when it comes to nature but it’s nothing like my book. x
Lydia please cook more. It’s so nice watching you cook and prepare food from the garden 🪴 🌸
Lydia, I have been following for at least 7 years and I love to watch you grow and become much more at peace with yourself and happier. You are such a joy in the YT community. I love your mix of gardening, home content and sprinkles of glamour, its so refreshing 💚
I've followed you for years, and have been inspired by your journey, finding who you are and sharing it with all of us. So lovely to see you blossom and be truly happy.
Lydia, your skin looks amazing without makeup ! Don't ever ruin that lovely complexion with tanning !
Every day I thank my family for my life. I appreciate my husband, my children, my dogs and my mother so much and I thank them for being there for me to enjoy x
Your destiny was to write the book, yet all you had to experience to give you the material is what is filling your heart with emotion. But you have done it and this is how you pay it forward 💕
This is it! I had to go through the stuff, sit with it, dissect it, understand it and make peace with it to be able to write the book x
You reflecting on your journals has reminded me of my own journey. Im finally in a decent place mentally. I lost my heart horse of 14 years last April to Congestive heart failure. That loss put me in a very dark place in life. He helped me through my childhood trama and abuse. To lose him was devastating! But I have a baby horse that im starting under saddle. I havnt beem this joyful in years. Dont get me wrong i have some big stressors in life but the experience of getting my baby horse under saddle has brought so much pure joy and has given me the confidence boost i desparately needed for at least the past 5 years.
P.S. i would put a wire mesh topper on the chicken run to protect them from falcons and hawks.
Paris Opera Ballet is amazing. I was fortunate to witness their artistry in New York City. Giselle performance was memorizing! Continued success!!
Love Carrie , shes rocking ot lately with her fantastic look , a hidden gem 💎
I have been watching you for so many years and I have preordered my book for myself my two daughters and my two daughter in laws . You are a true inspiration watching you makes my heart sing and I’m beyond excited to read your book
Lydia - as 54 year old who is a bit ahead on her journey when it comes to personality development - I must compliment you: it strikes me how your inner growth and development show now on the outside. You look like an accomplished Lady in your Oscar de la Renta gown and especially with your new hairstyle that keeps you from fluffing around with your hair all the time as you did before. So your satisfaction and calmness on the inside manifests itself now on the outside. You are truely beautiful. I take a great pleasure in watching you!
How magical were that performance and setting! Beautiful! I always cry when I see art like that. I cry in book shops, just from the emotion of the space, and when I look at art. It's so funny because I am not one to cry when someone tells me a sad story. But in any sort of art performance or space, I find it really hard to control the tears.
I truly enjoy your content since you moved into this home and your growth with it. We moved into our new home last August and I found myself rewatching your early vlogs moving into your home. I totally feel the same peace, happiness and growth in our new home over the last year. It amuses me that I get to experience a similar gratitude towards life but a few years behind yours. It makes me smile to watch your vlogs and I hope our life in this new space will be as happy as yours with your family.
So happy for you, Lydia. You can really tell how much this book means to you. Can't wait to get a copy here in America.
Lydia, thank you for continuing to share your life with us! I love the joy and motivation is brings me to follow along. Would you mind sharing where you purchase the wicker baskets you organized with in your cabinets?
Thank you!
I have always kept my daily planner/diary from each year, such an important growth and mindfulness tool. I've also rediscovered passions and interests by going back and remembering what used to make me happy in moments when I've been down too, so it works both ways. Thank you for your vulnerability. I feel like I've been on the same journey alongside you over the past few years, incuding reconnecting with nature and learning more about myself. I can't wait to read your book and celebrate your, and our, journey to happiness and fulfillment. Love.
Love the vlog. Just wanted to mention that with trees over the coup, it can be a watch point for hawks or other raptors. Some people put wiring over the top as well.
Your "home alone" vlogs are some of my favorites. Looming forward to the book. Best wishes!
Congratulations on your book! Thank you for always reaching out to your entire audience. You mention America's holidays...I watch you, to learn more about England, as I find other countries so interesting. You never boast, and are always grateful. You were as excited about your eggs as you were the launch of your book. You include your team, by doing special things with them. I appreciate the type of channel that you have. I have dropped others because it seemed to become more about what they have and always about them attaining what others have. Please forgive, as I don't usually post things like this, it is just getting ridiculous. Thank you for sharing your lifes journey with us.✌♥️
My mornings are similar to yours Lydia! I rise at 8:00 and go to the stables to feed the horses, let them out into the pastures, groom them sand then do the stalls. The stalls are the least bucolic but I enjoy because this is my ‘thinking’ time. Then I feed the chickens, my 2 Yorkies and care for my gardens which have been quite prolific this year. Then I have my breakfast outside on the patio, weather permitting, and watch you. The perfect good morning! I usually go hiking in the afternoon with the dogs!
What a dream morning 🥰 love this so so much x
What a delightful video it felt calm and wholesome and enjoyable just doing everyday things and bringing us along with you.
So excited for you and this wonderful chapter in your life 🎉🥰🫶🏻🤍
Thank you for bening vulnerable with us❤ you are so humble, i don't think people realise and its so nice to see this side of you x
Happiness comes from knowing God has your plan and he loves you and wants the best for you. The world doesn’t know. Trust the Lord.
My husband and I have four dogs, and we don’t think they are overwhelming at all. We never regret getting them or having four dogs at once. I think it depends on the person/couple of how many pets they can care for, kind of like having children.
I absolutely LOVE seeing you pottering around the house Lydia!! It makes me feel so both calm and peaceful and excited to organise my own home!!!
Hi Lydia! I just wanted to thank you for this lovely video! I have been a long time viewer and today’s video really helped me. I unfortunately lost my cat Denver very unexpectedly 2 days ago on my birthday to a heart condition. He showed no symptoms and I have been a wreck ever since and your video has been the first thing that took my mind off it for a little. I know how connected you are to your animals and I connect and love that so much. Thank you!
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, Pet loss is something very difficult to navigate. The feelings we have for our animals are so intense and very unexpected. You almost feel guilty for your grief because others experience the loss of people so close to them but I think I realised that my animals are my family when we lost lynx and so now I’m not so hard on myself. I hope you aren’t either, because you need to feel these emotions. x
Just checking as I know how much you love Lumi, the kibble needs to be air tight or it can get mites in it, plus it’ll go off/soft without a lid. Loved this vlog but & congrats on the book (& getting the chickens), can’t wait, I’ll be an audible listener ❤
This was so cathartic to watch, knowing you have come so far and taken us all along for the journey! So great to celebrate your accomplishments with you! Ps cried my eyes out!! 🌱🌱
Why did you cry
I have to be completely raw and honest with you. I was a long time subscriber way back before you even moved into this house. A few years ago I had to sadly unsubscribe. Your channel had drastically changed and I couldn’t relate to you anymore. It just wasn’t a good place for me to watch. I have watched a few vlogs here and there and have seen a few of your emotional vlogs talking about how you were struggling and not yourself. I don’t know why… but today when I was on RUclips and saw you had uploaded a vlog something just drew me in….Something just came over me and made me click on it. From the very beginning of the vlog I was captivated. I watch the whole thing and it just really touched me. I couldn’t not just watch and not comment. It just left me feeling so good and inspired. I sat here thinking for a long time. If this is the new Lydia I will definitely be back. Just absolutely beautiful, so relatable, so raw, homey, just lovely. So proud of you ❤ Also so surprised by the announcement of the 2 new doggies. How exciting.
the eggs oh my goodness!!! how exciting!
How exciting? Eggs?
Right!! How exciting to eat eggs from your own chickens. I can’t wait to have my own chickens one day and have fresh eggs everyday 😊
@@leighmartin8672😅😅😅😅😅 🥚🥚🥚🥚😅😅😅😅😅
I feel so privileged to be a part of your community. I started following you right as you moved to your beautiful home. You felt like family, another sensitive soul that felt life very deeply. I have been on the same journey my whole entire 59 years. I cry when you cry just as if you were my daughter. My lovely daughter and I decided together back in 2019 that we would give each other space but still work on our relationship. We were and are so connected so much so that we were both internally hurting for each other. So needless to say I watched and learned with you and it made me feel less alone, my daughter feels the same by the way. We found our way in this world by creating as much daily happiness as we could. We had to learn balance and not over- do it, even if we had the juice. Cognitive behavior therapy was my lifeline as I struggled with Fibromyalgia symptoms. Some days I just wouldn't get out of bed and instead power watched sad shows like Nurse Jackie. I was my own worst friend until I made the effort to get help and then actually do the things to make myself happy consistently. You felt like a friend and you were going through it with online hate and I cried with you. However now you know what works, what doesn't and who to keep in your circle. I can't wait to hear you read your book and yes will be doing the pre-order this week. You are the "it" gal we all want to walk n talk with; laugh, cry and just be silly with. Honestly Estee Lauder needs to make you their face for the next 40 years!!! ❤🥰 Auntie Deb from Florida couldn't be happier for you and your loves.💪🤗
Such a beautiful comment 🌸
So lovely to see you thriving and at peace☺️ Congratulations on the book Lydia!
My new favourite vlog of yours. I totally enjoyed this one. Organising, potting around, chats. Going start journaling again :) thank you for being open
Loving the more laid back vlogs with you pottering around your house and garden 🥰
I pre-ordered a signed copy book from Jaffe and Neale, today. I have asked for it to be signed with myself and both my young daughters names to. They are 7 and 4, I hope that when they are older they will read and enjoy it too. Xx
Lydia you have made me cry listening to your journey. Honestly I am so inspired by your transition over the years. Keep going as you are changing so many people for the better Xx
Absolutely lovely vlog Lydia. This is you. Open, honest, vulnerable. Just beautiful. Loved every minute of it.
YEESSSSS!!! A German Shepherd...!! They are so funny and goofy and silly... you'll be a convert to GSDs for sure! Yaayyy!!!
Thank you for a lovely and uplifting video. Somehow they always makes me in a good mood 😊
Lydia, there is nothing like growing your own food. I started a Balcony garden after a trip outside London. My friend's brother bought me a tomatoes plant from a trust shop. Sadly that tomatoes plant died along with a few more. But once I realised what I was doing wrong, my tomatoes, green, red, and yellow bell peppers, scotch bonnet, chilli pepper, thyme, parsley, rosemary, sweet basil, leeks, red onions are thriving. I started in May and I cannot believe how far I have come and I hope by September I will be able to harvest a lot of what I planted. Lydia are you going to show us those chickens?
We moved to 5.5 acres in December and inherited sheep and chickens. I have a house vegie bed in and am now also making a larger vegie bed in one of our side paddocks. The simple pleasure and joy of my own eggs and spinach in the mornings and then wandering to check the garden with a coffee in hand while the morning fog is still over the hills . . . just magical.
Last Friday I received a very bad cancer diagnosis - for the length of this lovely video you took my mind off of my worries. I almost never comment but I just wanted to says thanks for sharing a happy and positive vlog.
My thoughts are with you at this very scary time.
You got this 🌸
Sending u love n light❤❤❤❤
Sending you so much love ❤
Never give up hope! Lots of strength and love ❤❤❤
crying….the part of you reading your journal. I felt that deeply. Thank you for sharing ❤
I noticed fungus gnats flying from the pot as you were working on the plant. It maybe had too much water then.. they are nasty little flies.. once they come it can be hard to save a plant 🌱 sometimes they can already be in the soil on purchase
If there is one thing I wish I had done when I started reading, (which was sometime ago now) and that is keeping a reading journal. Writing down the book title, author, and the date it was read. It's just nice to look back 😊
That's a great idea Alison. I've often thought of doing the same thing (also with movies), but not been disciplined enough. I suppose all that I need to do is simply START!! 🥰
You can do it Lydia 💪🏻I’ve pre ordered and cannot wait!
Honestly the best episode yet! Just unbelievably inspirational and emotional. Thank you so much Lydia!! 🤍
Definitely one of my favorite blogs.
Love your wild garden & the dress looks beautiful on you.
Thank you Lydia!!!!
Why didnt u show the chickens??? 😟
One suggestion: look up recipes for filled courgette flowers, do not throw them away. They are delicious. I ate them at the Cóte d‘Azur for the first time years ago and had Champagne with them. Really easy to make. I‘m sure you will love them!
How do you find gardening with such a serious phobia of spiders? Watched the other vlog where you had to change rooms 🫣
When you can find your happiness and joy, regardless of your circumstances that is true peace. It is a constant work that never ends, but we’ll worth it. Everyone’s journey is different. Finding peace is the goal👍. So happy for your eggs, your book, just all of it!! Be well Lydia and congratulations again on your book. What a major accomplishment🎉
What a super exciting chapter of your life. So happy for you ❤
Sometimes we work so hard to make the dream come true that we forget to live it once it does arrive .
Lydia! Your book on Amazon says release is March 12?! Is this a mistake? Ordering in America
If you don’t have cream for pasta, you can always use egg like a carbonara
Lydia iv been following you for a long time & I just want to say I am so happy to see the peace in your world ❤ I am Happy to see you happy & doing well x
Lydia, thank you so much for sharing this. I appreciate you being so vulnerable with us.
Lovely to see you so relaxed and happy.all that sorting is good for the soul and mind. Well done keep it up .
Just ordered your book....and so delighted to hear about the cocker spaniel & german shepherd! Oh My Goodness Me!
I know your life coaching has made a big difference to your mindset and resilience, but how much would you say the dogs have contributed to you turning things around? I lost my sister in 2019 and getting a dog later that year really saved me from going to a dark place xx
Honestly, Porter is one of the dedications of my book for this very reason 😂
The “ ballet” dress is crazy lovely!!
Lydia kibble in a vase without a lid will go soft same with your dishwasher tabs they are sealed for a reason chicken ❤x
You’ve been such a transformative person in my life!! Your joy is felt around the world, congratulations on your chickens!
What you said after reading some of your journal, well done and spot on ❤
This is LITERALLY my favorite video of all the 7 years I have watched. The beginning was such bliss. Praying God has this simple country garden life in store for me. ❤🎉
I hope so too x
Just a hint but bees are attracted to any scent you may be wearing. So if you have scented lotion or perfume or even shampoo with a scent they will be more apt to bother you. My father is a beekeeper and I make sure not to wear any fragrance when I'm there. 💙
Careful with the pet food in open vases! You could probably find something to seal the top to keep them fresh. I found interesting stretch lids at IKEA.
Hi Lydia, I think I have been following you for over a year. You are a great inspiration to me. Your current vlog has convinced me even more of how authentic you are. I learn so much from you and you are so far ahead of so many people. Will your book be available in other languages? For example in German. That would be wonderful. 😊
convincedc how
Lydia, you are beautiful inside and out😊I’ve been watching you for so many years but I have never left a comment until today. Congrats on your book you deserve all the happiness and success, listening to you reading from your diary had me moved. You’re a rare and kind soul, never change that genuine warm person that you are. The way you love your animals absolutely melts my heart,as a dog mom myself I understand the bond is is so beautiful 😊🤗❤️🐾
Loved this vlog!!! Perfect amount of everything. You are a natural story-teller with an authentic delivery! The audio book wil be a treat. Wait…Two more pups???? 😊
The ballet looks lovely
The eggs! I nearly teared up! So exciting 🥹
I tried to order your signed book, but I couldn't get it to go thru. Maybe this is because I live in the US? Amazon is showing here that the book will not be available until March 2024? And I don't see anything about a video......😮💨
Lydia where is your white dress from when you are doing the haul at the end? I can’t find it linked in the description box! It’s so lovely
Just ordered the book. I’m so excited for you. Here in the states, per Amazon, it should be delivered March 13,2024.
Wow - oh Wow.
This Vlog was so wholesome, raw and stripped back. Beautifully honest and it’s just what I needed ❤
This was my favorite vlog of yours. Thank you Lydia. You have changed my life.
I struggled in my twenties and thirties and as I got older I realize that happiness is a choice. I chose happiness
Your vlogs are getting more n more wholesome enjoying everyday, a little bit of everything keeps the heart topped up , Thanku so much Lydia I needed that today ! ❤
Feels soo good when you get productive doesn’t it. I need motivation at the moment x
I’ve always had a German Sheppard! You’ll love her. They’re fabulous dogs.
Thank you for sharing your journal entries with us. Journaling saved me last year❤🤗
You are a constant source of inspiration to me. Please ignore the naysayers… you have worked so very hard to get to where you are now. You’ve set yourself goals and visions, done the inner work and tackled all the many things that you’ve found tough. I LOVE your videos and when you reminisce about the journey. With very best wishes x
So excited for your book. It doesn’t come out in the USA until March 2024 though. 😢 Also, it looks like you don’t have a covering over your chicken enclosure. We had chickens growing up and had problems with hawks getting our chickens. We had to continue the outside fence around their coop over the top as well. I’d hate for something to happen to your little ladies.
Congratulations. Have you added the team names to your book as it’s a huge team effort??
Ordered the book straight away. Looking forward to reading it especially as I spend so much time housebound with M.E. wishing you every success and blessing. X
Lydia your face is glowing of happiness !!!!So beautiful!!!❤
Are you going to paint the chicken wire on the coup black? It makes a huge difference.
Another relaxing vlog ,i have followed you for years when you and Ali lived in your first little house then getting engaged moving to this house putting your own stamp on it, you look so happy and at peace with everything you have achieved the house and garden are so gorgeous not forgetting the greenhouse of course and Wow the chickens have arrived with eggs how exciting . Congratulations on everything Book/chickens/eggs Love Love Love
