Loved your sunny presentation Cheryl, esp with special guest ...lil chick. Happy 2025 to you, Mark...and 2-4 legged friends. Great recap on ur top 10...thank you❤
Hello Janine, I responded to your comment earlier, but You-tube seems to have lost it, so I shall begin again. Thank you so much for your support and kind words. We truly do appreciate everyone watching and possibly getting something out of the videos. The morning was too bright and cheerful not to have filmed outside. We wish you the very best for 2025. May it be everything you hope for and more. 'See' you next year. Take care, happy reading and safe travels Cheryl, Mark, Arthur, Rune and Flynn.
That little chick..🐣 I really hope he/she will make it, it won't definitely be because of lack of care. ❤️ Big applause for making things a little easier for yourself! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I loved the outside video,including the rooster and the train and the little chick chirping. Fingers crossed the fires will be under control and that you get to relax for a little bit. Absolutely loved your top 10,I'm going to think about mine,but I already know 'A Country Farm Christmas' which I've just finished will be in it,I can't tell you how much I enjoyed those 4 stories. It was a lovely Australian Christmas for me 😍 Have a safe New Year's Eve,and here is to a new year filled with love,light and lots of books 😍 Ps: I'm super tired too,all these festivities and Christmas mail deliveries has worn me out 😆😘
Good Morning Anne, It was lovely sitting outside for this video, although it was a little distracting, in a nice way. Each Summer is a stressful time, firstly trying to prepare for the event of wildfire and then worrying about fires in the area, and the weather (which can start fires such as lightening strike or can fuel fires, such as wind. Always a testy time. It is wonderful to know that you love 'A Country Farm Christmas'. They are great Australian authors. Have a wonderful New Year's Eve celebrations and we shall 'see' you next video. Happy reading and safe travels Cheryl and the rest of the crew. (ABT)
Great books recommended for the year. I am going to add them to my never ending Good Reads TBR list. I have read Miss Benson’s Beetle and it was a delightful read. No need to apologise for the natural noises it adds depth to the videos, love train whistles too and love chooks and roosters. 👋👍
Good Afternoon @deborahkingston5063, Thank you for joining the channel and watching. So pleased that you also think Miss Benson's Beetle was a delight. Although it was witty, it also had a few deep and meaningful threads. I loved it. Some viewers may be annoyed by the farm/outdoor noises, even though I adore them and they give me great comfort in my lifestyle, so I do feel a little' self conscious' or at least mindful of them on the videos. But I absolutely agree...I too, adore train whistles and locomotion sounds.....love our rooster too. I find these sounds so grounding and present, don't you? We hope you had a lovely Christmas or break and wish you a very Merry New Year. Cheryl and company (ABT)
Lovely video with an aspirational book list for me. Your shade house is pretty gorgeous, too. Thanks to you all and good wishes for 2025. P & J I am currently reading Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood
Good Afternoon Peter and Jasper! Thank you for your kind words. Mark built the shade-house a number of years ago, based on an English design. It was built so that we could grown our own plants from seed. It has now become a garden and seating area of its own and a bit of an 'orangery' for our potted citrus in Winter. The ten novels chosen for this year, truly are my favourite. In some way, shape or form they have inspired or moved me to help shape who I am and how I envisage life ahead and some are just jolly good fun or beautiful reads. I hope you enjoy them as much as I. I have read Stone Yard Devotional and I 'reviewed' it on the channel. I would be interested in your thoughts. Enjoy this time before the New Year! Happy reading and safe travels....Oh, are you home now or still in Newcastle? Cheryl, and all at ABT
Cheryl your channel has provided great companionship through 2024. Have loved both the travel and book recommendations vids. Looking forward to 2025. Wishing you a happy and safe New Year 🎉
Oh Andrina! That is so lovely to hear. We are so pleased that the channel has provided even just a small difference or comfort to you and others. 2025 is definitely a chance for growth and improvement. We are wanting the channel to do that and more, so ...Bring on 2025!!!! Wishing you and yours a wonderful, peaceful, happy, and prosperous New Year. 'See' you next year! Cheryl, Mark, Arthur, Rune and Flynn xx
I’ve been wondering if you were affected by the fires…such a worry every summer. What a delightful surprise with the chickens! Hope the little one makes it. A terrific book list there…more to add to my TBR! Take care and all the very best for 2025 💚
Hello Sue! Yes, there has been a few tentative moments at ABT HQ. Always a worry at this time of year. A surprise with both the frog in the house gutters and the new chickens but it all made to help us focus on something other than fires and heat. These ten novels are definitely my top ten for this year. I enjoyed each and every one for one reason or another. There are some amazing and talented story-tellers out there. As readers, we are all so very lucky. We hope you have a wonderful New Year celebrations and look forward to 'seeing' you, next year!! Happy reading Sue and do take care when travelling. Cheryl and the motley crew.
