ROOM INSPECTION, BIRTHDAY FLOWERS AND EXCITING NEWS!!

[Music] hello everyone welcome to a new vlog um i'm in my room well not anymore i'm moving out um this is a busy week because we got to be in b guess coming on friday so obviously i can't be in the b b wing anymore so i moved back to du park and um i just got the clear signal to move from nutty so i'm just doing everything in one go so i'm just yeah moving out of the room and just tidying up i'm vacuuming everywhere first and then i'm gonna clean and just leave the room as i found it you probably remember me and telling you that i took photos of how everything was in this room before i moved in so i have those photos and i will be placing everything nice and neatly and back where it is but yeah just vacuuming making sure it's all clean and tidy and then obviously we'll have to do the beds and everything but oh it's taken me a few hours we have had um dinner and um i'm doing this today it's tuesday just because i want it to be done because uh tomorrow i'm doing a big shopping for the bb dinner um because i'm cooking a three course meal on friday and saturday for our guests very exciting and i'm also doing flowers for the rooms because i think that's something that's so nice to do when we have the guests and um there's so many flowers in the garden so um yeah i'm just trying to get things done before the weekend so that i don't get swamped at the end so yeah that's basically what i'm doing i've really been enjoying living in here but it's going to be nice to be back in the alarmed working wing where like the crew is um as well so i'm going back to du park as i've said and i've stayed in that room before and it's really lovely it's got a beautiful view so i'm not complaining something that i've been thinking about or thought about as i was packing up my stuff and moving across and trying to leave everything as nice as possible is about something that my mother said at some point a long time ago i remember we were tidying out of a house that she was moving out from with her husband and um that was this is in the uk and i remember i was a teenager i remember asking my mother why we had to clean so thoroughly and make sure it was all nice and tidy and she said something that has really stuck with me ever since and she said marie it's about how you leave a place and there is such a big truth to that and i'm a big believer of karma and like obviously i've been so um blessed to stay in this room but it's so true even if it's a room or it's a house you're leaving and you um are moving out from somewhere it's just so important to leave wherever you are living in a nice proper order because it's just yeah it makes sense doesn't it to make sure that the next person coming in is going to enjoy this space and feel comfortable and happy so little sentimental memory there from many years ago which i'm proud that i carry with me to this time and that i find that to be important to be proper and to live wherever you are leaving in a nice and proper tidy order so yeah and um yeah i've got the cleaning basket mary poppins cleaning basket and i'll be cleaning all the surfaces and yeah just sorting it out just sorting it out anyways um yeah it's going to be a um a busy busy week tomorrow yeah as i said shopping and i'm also making a birthday bouquet for ian's wife tina she has her birthday tomorrow and um he asked me if i could do some flowers and i've bought a little bit and i'm going to pick some in the garden and hopefully she will like it [Laughter] anyways um i'll see you guys tomorrow good morning [Music] i'm in a new room chamber do park which is been a room that i've had in the past when i was here um before so i managed to sort of sort everything out roughly and got my clothes up and opened the windows because the view is so pretty and the weather is beautiful so nice um yeah excuse the mess i seem to leave my prunus everywhere so i better take this with me and put it back in the studio i usually put them in my pockets and then they just stay there throughout the day so um yeah probably have lost a few pruners and scissors by this but they said handy to have look at this weather oh my stunning absolutely stunning so in the morning now it's so warm i always start with iced coffee in a jar because um i can fit a lot of coffee in this and i use this machine inside here i also have a coffee machine in the studio so i can use that later in the day so i've got two pods i'm gonna start with two pods today because yeah it's marine nuts i i put all my coffee pods in here so i have everything in one place and i'm gonna add there we go looks delicious all ready number two and now we have a lot of coffee and i'm gonna get some ice so a few ice i like to use them uh the ones from the freezer just because the one from the ice machine doesn't really make the drink cold so just like that and then i have oatmeal i'll just check it and i'll have a little dash of that yeah good dash that's perfect and that will be my start off drink today there you go just perfect no sugar but i do have um like a little bar that i do smack on i think it's in the car so i found my two favorite ones at the moment i think i'll be going for the honey roasted nuts and sea salt but i do like this crunchy oats and honey it's a tough choice i just wanted to show you the beautiful roses that are outside the studio absolutely stunning and they smell amazing so pretty good morning good morning how are you good you good what are you up to watering watering oh that's great trying to keep everything alive yeah that's a good idea good good good did you like this area this area well you've been missing that view of the day yeah i can't see the bidet now because it's overgrown no i don't know what happened about we should plant flowers in it for you yeah you know like yeah why not if you have the time [Laughter] no no i'm liking this really wild it's almost like a wild cottage garden you know outside here yeah well you know if you have the time you're normally not doing anything no just opened my door and ruby's outside hi what are you up to and thought i'd show you my studio it's beautiful looking um i think at least because there's so much wildflowers um i've uh just recorded well a few days ago i recorded uh the first video for my new channel success stories and i used this as a backdrop um and um yeah quite excited about that and i've got some flowers here on the floor um i um have foraged a bit so i found some fox glow and um chamomile beautiful chamomile but i won't be using that in the bouquet because i think tina doesn't like yellow which is unfortunate because i got all of these beautiful yellow roses um so i went to jardi land to see if they had any cut flowers because basically i can't get wholesale flowers unless i spend a minimum amount of 500 euros and when i'm just making one bouquet which is normally something i don't do uh just because of that reason um i have to buy um flowers normal price like everyone else so i was looking at jardi lanka sometimes they have cut flowers unfortunately there aren't many um flower markets around here or flower grower as far as i've known so anyway i went to jardilen and i saw this wheelbarrow full of cuts of roses and they're probably just trimming their roses and i was like wow these are beautiful um so i just picked up a few and i went to the tilt and i was like uh it's cool excuse me um can you know may i pay for this and she just looked at me uh strangely didn't she did not understand what i was saying um but after a few seconds she says oh no no no uh gratitude so i got them for free and obviously they are you know almost tilting and done with but i figured they could look stunning in a few photos look at that are so stunning so yeah i'll definitely be going to garden center again because you never know when they're trimming their roses um i bought some beautiful peonies for tina's bouquet and a little bit of greenery some alstroemeria and i found some hedge vets glaring along the way as i was driving back home yesterday beautiful purple so i think we're going in a sort of dark purple color i'm going to mix a bit of white in i also have beautiful campanula in different shapes this larger one and then the small capanola which is a bellflower i think it's called um and then i found some beautiful columbine which i haven't seen since i was in lofoten and it's just so beautiful look at that so pretty and i found them in a darker blue as well this is just from a hedge grow can you believe it um and it's just so stunning so stunning so i probably will use those as well and i got a little dry bouquet as well because i love using all these small bits and pieces like this dry lavender for example um quite a lot of yellow in here but um there is some green as well oh i also got some um nigella from cassie's garden that may go quite nicely with um with a purple dark burgundy blue style i'll take these away for later i'll have some fun with those um but yeah i think we're looking at this type of bunch so kirsty told me to go and look at the snapdragon and i haven't seen them like this so pretty wow this makes me so happy because now i know that i'll have some really beautiful flowers for the guest bedrooms i'll be picking some flowers today and tomorrow and then i'm gonna arrange some flowers for all of the guest rooms this weekend so pretty wow it's so nice to see the garden come to life again and ah to see this abundance of flowers so stunning look at these lupines are so beautiful and i can see some roses wow they've really popped out i must say so the general rule of picking flowers in the garden is that as long as it goes into the house it's okay um obviously in moderation i like to leave everything like nobody seen me be here so i like to pick a little bit here and there and this way it keeps the garden beautiful and lovely for the guests to explore but it also brings some of the garden into the guest bedrooms for the guests so look at that can you see that that's so stunning oh my gosh wow that's so pretty and there are many more here and look oh my look at this all of these have been popping out very um just recently i think look at this that's so stunning i'll definitely be picking one of these for the guest race wow oh it's so beautiful look at that and look over here wow that is so stunning gosh smells amazing wow what a beautiful day well they seem happy to be roaming free in the garden that's for sure i'm just going to start clearing some of the stems sorry about the noise so much work going on around here what is nice but my uh bother you with a sound a little bit but i think it will be okay so when i make a bouquet i always clear the stems usually before i start so it's easy to grab them um and as i've just picked these i'm still going to just put them in the water so they can soak up a bit i just leave that as it is ian hi when do you want your bouquet for tina will it be ready i can be ready in 20 20 minutes all right are you gonna go straight to her then uh perfect all right okay right let's get to it um look at that it's so stunning a beautiful headstretch these i'm just going to slide into the bouquet um because they're so delicate you don't want to treat them like a normal scent but they're so stunning so pretty good good good and then we got the campanula beautiful [Music] little hint of white in there not much but a little bit and then i'm going to use a few of these beauties as well the fox glow all right there we go i'm gonna start with a little bit of this company [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] right we are ready to go i've sprayed taken photos and place the gem jar in

inspection and be honest [Laughter] right oh right obviously the beds are not done yet but you said leave that we're going to do that big cut to make sure that everything is ready yes yeah well wow
