OH MY I swear this is the last time I'll talk about the heatwave lol For this week's video, I filmed a sweaty vlog over Monday & Tuesday, where we saw the hottest temperature on record for the UK!
Hope you guys stayed safe and (somewhat) cool!

Happy Saturday, everyone!!
This was supposed to be a PO Box video, but it turned into something else! Don't want to spoil the surprise, but I hope you like the video!
Also I hope everyone is keeping cool out there - we've had quite the heatwave!

I'd like to do a Q&A Youtube video soon, but need your help with some questions!
Please feel free to leave your questions down below if you have any - they can be serious, silly, thoughtful, weird, whatever! They can be about the UK, Canada, or something totally random!
Thanks so much and hope you're having a great Sunday!

Hi everyone!
For July I'm going to be reading Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland (you can buy it here if you're interested! It's also available on Kindle and Audible!)
Shout out to Tushar who sent this to the PO Box! It's a big boi but I'm excited - I know very little about Northern Ireland.
If you're reading something else this month, let me know what! Read a goo...
2022-06-29 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThis month I read the Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck (you can buy it here if you're still interested in reading it!). I remember this book being HUGE when it first came out but I never got around to reading it.
I thought a lot of the concepts were really interesting - and there were definitely lot of stuff that resonated with me. Certainly lots of bits that I hope to incorporate into my own life! I really ...
2022-06-28 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! Unfortunately I don’t have a Saturday video to post 😩 I actually had to go to a walk-in clinic here in Ontario as I’ve been getting more sick, yikes! I have new medicine so hopefully I can see some improvement soon.
Hope you are all doing OK and thank you for your support! 💛
2022-06-25 00:25:07 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! I'm here in Canada and I've the most sick I've ever been! I don't have an Early Access video for Maple Friends and Best Buds today but I don't have a video ready for tomorrow - unfortunately I'm not able to sit up for very long :( We've tested and it's not Covid, but I've never felt anything quite like this before - what bad timing!
I'm hoping things will change soon and I'll be ready for Thursday/Friday but I'll keep you all posted 🙏🏻

Happy Saturday, everyone!! I made my very own Gypsy Tart!
Any Brits out there: Do you guys ever choose to have these, or was it just a school lunch kind of thing?
Non-Brits: Ever seen one of these before??
Hope you like the video!

Hi everyone! This week I looked at a Reddit thread talking about the most absolutely British stuff that you won't see anywhere else!
Big thanks to Aaron for the suggestion - hope you guys like the video!

Hi everyone! Hope you're having a great day!
I'm launching a newsletter as a new project - I'm aiming to send an email the first Sunday of every month (but we'll see how it goes if I want to increase it).
These emails will have some life chats, behind-the-scenes video updates and hopefully will be a great way to reach viewers!
If you'd like to sign up, you can do so here!

Wow! SO much stuff arrived to the PO Box last month - a whole video worth!
Thank you so much to everyone who has sent stuff, I really do appreciate it and I hope you guys enjoy this unboxing!
We're going to CANADA in the next few days! WHAT! I know! So please hold on to any PO Box stuff until we return in July (I'd hate for something to go missing or lost while we're away) but if you'd ever like to send something in the future, our address is:

This month, I'm finally reading the cult-favourite: The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Manson - you can buy it here if you'd like to read along! I remember it being HUGE in 2016 when it came out - would be interesting to see if it still holds or if it's a bit dated!
My partner actually had this on our bookshelf and I realised I've never read it - so here we go! I'll check-in at the end of the month...
2022-05-30 18:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThis month (and technically, last month...) I read A Man Called Ove and I loved it! You can buy it here if you'd like to try it, too.
It was such an easy read, lots of good characters and you really felt like you knew them! Great story, lots of feels - definitely reminded me of an earlier Book Club read Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine (which I also loved).
Many of you commented th...

As part of our recent Croatia trip, we spent a few days in Hvar! It was definitely a welcomed break from walking tours. - hope you enjoy the video!
We'll be continuing our trip with Split for Tuesday's Youtube video!

Hey, everyone! Happy Saturday!
Today is another instalment of Butler's Kitchen - where my partner picks a recipe and I have to make it... to varying success lol

Take a shot every time I say that I'm excited! lol
This week I wanted to share some secret travel updates AND do a taste test of some of the cool treats sent to the PO Box by Iain!
Once this video is live, I'll be in Croatia!! If you want to see real-time updates make sure to follow me on Instagram! Once I'm home again, I'll start looking through my Croatia clips and see if there's a video...

Hey guys! For May, I'll be reading A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman! I love reading books without knowing what they're about - this one included! All I've read is:
"This multi-million-copy phenomenon is a funny, moving, uplifting tale of love and community that will leave you with a spring in your step."
Cute!
If you'd like to read along, you can buy it on Amazon here.

WOW! This one was tough to read at point, but overall a really interesting story! While this was originally March's Book Club review, I really struggling putting aside time to read lately, but finally finished The Power this month!
I thought it was fast-paced and I really like when books have chapters that are from the perspective of other characters - makes the story progress that much faster! Interesting story, easy to follow, dark, grim and something totally di...

Hi everyone!!
This week's video I'm making my very own hot cross buns!! I wouldn't recommend it!!! lol
Like I mentioned in the intro, this was originally filmed for Youtube but it seems that audience isn't too keen on cooking videos anymore.. so you guys get to see this cursed video instead!
If you make your own hot cross buns, let me know how you do it!! Hope you guys have a great rest of your weekend and a good Easter if you celebrate!

Hey guys! For St. Paddy's day this year, I tried making Potato Break!
Thanks to Aaron for suggesting this idea! I used this recipe. I realised afterwards that her cups were actually "Australian cups" which are apparently different to North American ones! Who knew!
If you like potato bread a certain way, let me know! I'd love to try out some of the different variations.

Hi everyone!
This Friday, 18 March at 2:30pm GMT I'll be having a live birthday party on Twitch!
It's free to watch on Twitch but all donation and Twitch subscriptions will add time to a timer - and I'll be streaming for whatever length the timer is! I've got lots of games and funny bits planned and we'll be live for as long as the timer goes!
All money donated will go towards buying a new computer!
Hope to see you there! 🥳 2022-03-16 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post
