WHY I COULDN'T VLOG, A WHITE SHIRT THAT ISN'T A SHIRT, AND A VERY PRETTY PIG

Описание: Hello!

I’m so sorry there has been such a long delay in posting this video, I had a family emergency ( I explain a little in the introductory part of this video - note, it's a bit emotional, so do skip forward if you're not in the mood for that.. ).

In this vlog, I discover an amazing white shirt cheat, plus I share some wonderful local art, along with a peek of my garden and bedroom. I talk a little about author Susan Hill and have a quick look at a book entitled ‘Literary Lunch’ although I’m not sure about the recipe selection and you'll see why …

At the end of the video, my family arrive for a few days’ stay - it's pretty chaotic, but hopefully in a positive way.

I mention a new YouTuber called The Muddled Magpie who has started an Art Centre here in Somerset, plus I give details on an amazing charity, fundraising for women in crisis: Peaks for Pants.

Here are the links, (some will be affiliate)
Susan Hill - her short stories are particularly exceptional, but honestly choose anything (she writes a mean ghost story too - The Woman in Black is also a HUGELY successful play and film). Susan is now 83 and as prolific and relevant as ever.

Peaks for Pants   / dihzhqqz7up  . (Looking at the photo, the inspiring woman I met is called Sally Chamberlain - go Sally! )

Rose & Lyons: I meant to bring this enamelware plate home with me to show you, but it's the most simple and charming thing to use on the table or to hang on a wall https://roseandlyons.co.uk/products/b...
Wellness Works: a hub for expertly curated wellbeing products and services https://www.wellnessworkswest.com
Sophie mentions Ffern, the organic perfume company that works on a subscription basis. I know nothing about it other than Sophie is unbelievably fussy, so if she actually enjoys a fragrance, it must be wonderful. https://ffern.co
White 'Shirt': this is mine https://amzn.to/4jli6Jo but you can also buy them in Cos etc.

As ever, thank you so much for watching my videos. If you have enjoyed this, please do consider subscribing (and if you have already subscribed - THANK YOU), it doesn't cost anything and helps small channels like mine to be viable in the long term. I've also set up a Buy Me A Coffee, in case you would like to do this. I think it can be anonymous if you would prefer that, or of course it can be public too - either way, I would be very grateful.

If you are a brand and you have something wonderful that you think my subscribers and the people who watch my videos might like to see, do please get in touch, I'd love to hear from you.
