ENGLISH MARKET TOWN LIFE | Garden Centre Trip, Cooking at Home & Preparing for Guests

SPRING DAY IN A QUIET ENGLISH MARKET TOWN | Garden Centre Trip, Cooking at Home & Gentle Homemaking

Hello and a warm welcome back to another calming, seasonal, and comforting slow living vlog.

Today we enjoy a slow spring day in our old English market town of Hitchin in Hertfordshire, we visit the local market and garden centre, then come home for balcony planting, mindful cleaning, and cooking three homemade curries. This real-time vlog ends with preparing a cosy, hygge-inspired home to welcome guests.

I would love to hear from you, how are you this weekend?

Love Cher x
