Waking Up In Our New Home In The Cornish Countryside 

“Brava” for female, “bravi” for a heterosexual couple.

@@Italiana911 Bravo in Spanish (I think hahaha I'm not sure)

@@Italiana911 Bravo used in the English way of saying well done. It’s not common to use gendered versions of words like in Spanish or Italian.

Facts

@@Italiana911 you must be fun at parties

Thank you!! Glad you're enjoying them as much as I am making them! xx

Legit can relate

@@stani.k OMG girrls - this comment is soo sweet!! ahahaha

It is so beautiful, I live for these video with the lovely views, and the beach they go for their walk is wow 😍

Try watching chateau diaries too

Just came here to say the same thing!

This!

Jup. Def for herbs.

i think so, too.

Yes, and for drying lavender & wildflowers. 🥰

Yes, even if they get some of the pollen on their fur, and then groom themselves afterward, they can get dangerously ill. I hope Madeleine sees your comment!

Good advice Olivia. Unfortunately my darling ginger puss died day after nibbling just a couple of lillies in a pot outside my kitchen door ! I had no idea they were so poisonous. Devastated...😿

@@juneprince-iles8390 I'm so sorry to hear that!! That is heartbreaking. Its not commonly known and there really isn't enough awareness at all. I am so sorry for your loss!

That’s what I was thinking as well!

That's a smart idea! I'm gonna do that in my kitchen right now lol

That thin string around room could be used for a climbing flowering vine, like morning glory or clematis or ivy. It would look beautiful with tiny "fairy lights" within the vines too. You can even use battery operated ones, tucking the baytery case behind the sitting potted plant base. Another thing done in kitchens of old...a strong thin rope or cable up high in tall ceilings was used as an indoor clothes dryer...the kitchen was warm from baking and cooking, windows were opened for a breeze...the clothes were high above your heads. A wooden wheel pully system on both ends of the line allowed for slowly letting slack in line, lowering dry clothes to be snatched off the line, and then other freshly laundered damp clothes hoisted back up. Wash day was usually Mondays and again Weds. if families were large. Baking was daily in our family home. Tuesday was cooking several meals and tidying up the house a bit. Monday and Weds. was washday with leftovers for supper. Thursday was canning, sewing, working garden. Market day was Saturday, cleaning whole house then catching up with sewing,, and perhaps a quick visit. Sunday was church and day of rest, with a nice fancier meal for dinner...and all the Aunts, Uncles, grandparents, kids and cousins coming together at a family home each Sunday afternoon.

Thank you! Feeling very happy and content for sure! xx

Me, me, me! It's looking so homey already! Congrats on the new house :D

Wow it's beautiful 😻

I absolutely, positively LOVE it! It’s just so serene. The lighting....the way your things fit so beautifully. Just love it all! Congratulations to you and Alex!!!

Hi Madeleine, congratulations to you and Alex, from what we've seen so far, you new home looks amazing. Just to make you aware, if you're not already, I noticed you have lilies on your kitchen table, they are highly toxic to cats. It's not advisable to have lilies in your home with cats. Just thought I would let you know. All the best in your new home.

So dreamy 😍

I agree!

I have a surefire way to make moving day easier. I write the room name on a package label and pack everything wrapped up in huge plastic tubs with lids, then use a colored magic marker and draw a big colored dot on each label...according to the color assigned for each room. Before movers haul boxes in...I have taped correct color dot ...cut from construction paper...on each room's door or entrance wall. Say, blue for bathroom, orange for living room, etc. The movers look at label color dot...take it to the room that has same color dot on its door. Easy, right? No hefty boxes for homeowners to move from one room to another later...because it got jumbled up. Also, at afternoon of closing...I get our new key and go clean the empty house, then put toaster oven, coffee pot and mugs on counter. In bathroom, put towels, soap, shampoo, robes...hair dryer and toilet paper...all set. We set up the bed and mattress, make it up with sheets, blanket, pillows, a lamp etc.... then stay the night in our new home. Set the alarm clock, have a quiet night's sleep in your new home....waking up to a great smooth start for movers coming. Pack a bag, bring a couple lamps, extra lightbulbs and flaslight....all set for big moving day in morning. It lets you have some quiet, wind down the night before...and feel prepared, with a lets get to it attitude in the next day when movers are coming. You could also make and freeze a few meals ahead of time, then pop all that in an ice chest and put it in new frig and freezer at new house night before movers arrive. A couple bags of ice put in bottom of one of those big plastic tubs allows you to load all frig food items over in one haul. can haul vanity and bedroom drawers inside them too, with items still in drawers. Jyust cushion with towels or rolled sheets...no dings or scratches. When you unpack, just put drawers back in...all ready to go...and towels go in linen closet in adjoining bathroom. Little things like that save a lot of time. I use my "extra pillows and blankets" as cushioning in bottom of big tubs. blanket folded at bottom of tub, pillows on side. Paper plates between stacks of plates, then painters tape wound round the stack, use small washclothes or kitchen towels as buffers between stacks...dishes srrive fine, no chips or breaks. Dont pack in too tightly, just a little buffer between. I go to dollar store, buy clear plastic shoe box with lids...add my spices in one, undersink items for bath , kitchen, laundry, etc. add label for which room...put all little bins into a big tub with pots and pans, etc. filling it up test of way. Upon unpacking, you can quickly haul little clear boxes to bath, kitchen...put in right cupboard...all ready to store. Same way for siverware, linens, etc. More drawers you pack with stuff in the drawers....faster it gets put away. You can do "sorting" at leisure on rainy night...idea is get those drawers back into place for desks, bedroom chests etc.

I was about to mention the same thing!

I started decluttering with a 30day challenge where you get rid of one item on day 1, 2 on day 2....... until you get rid of 30 items on day 30. This process makes it really manageable. It might help you to declutter stuff you don’t need. I did it last month because I’m probably moving in autumn so I wanted to give myself a headsart and I’ve already planned on starting the whole process again In a few months. Plus you can always declutter some last minute pieces when packing

Thank you! So am I!! xx

A cat jumped in through your window?? Holy shit, was it even yours?

It’s because I’m happy 😊 we are happy! The last house was beautiful but we went through a lot of hard times there. Excited for the next chapter here xx
