If you’re looking for moments of calm and a way to disconnect from the rush of everyday life, this cozy autumn vlog is for you. 🍂 ☕️ We’ll bake homemade English muffins and a traditional Somerset apple cake with Bramley apples — a cake that’s simply perfect for afternoon tea, in the most English way. The kitchen fills with warm, comforting aromas that make the season feel extra special. Later, I take you on a gentle walk through the peaceful Hampshire countryside, with thatched cottages and golden autumn light. Along the way, I share thoughts on the art of letting go, family life, and embracing the simple joys of slow living. This video is all about cozy recipes, autumn flavours, countryside walks, and mindful reflections — a little pocket of tranquility to carry into your own day If you enjoyed this video, let us know your favourite moment in the comments, give us a like, share it with someone who might enjoy the calm — and don’t forget to subscribe and click the bell so you don’t miss the next one.
