Nothing beats curling up on the sofa in front of a cosy fire on a wet & stormy day. The smell of the turf, the feel of handknit thick & soft woolly socks on my feet, a good book and a cat or two curled up with me. Perfection.
Catherine, this was a lovely video! I also want to say how appreciative I am of how you have spent years making your house a home. Every nook and cranny is evidence of the love and care you put into it. So much nicer than buying something freshly new and ready to go.
Hello dear Catherine 👋😊 As always BEAUTIFUL! Your videos are a caress for the soul. THANK YOU FOR BEING AND MAKING LIFE MORE BEAUTIFUL. I wish you and your pets all the best 😺😺 I like you. Maťa from Slovakia 🇸🇰👋😊💕💕🐾💕🐾
Catherine....you are such a good person. Thank you so much for your videos. I always enjoy watching them. I also love your little furry babies. They are so happy and have a wonderful, safe life. I have 2 cats both just over 1 year. They are best of friends and so entertaining. Take care sweet girl. You are loved by many. Thank you so much for sharing .❤
Seeing your fire, reminds me of staying with one of my friends parents in Lincolnshire. In the evening a fire would be lit, out then came the toasting forks and an uncut loaf of bread. We would all take it in turns, toasting our slice of bread. It's the best memory I have of past winters.
Oh, and I've been rolling my eyes at all the seed starting noise here on YT. Not right now, please. I have to say I'm loving the short days and cozy nights!
The pink and blue cat dishes are adorable. Thank you for the reminder that it's okay to slow down. The sun streaming in at the end of the video is just divine!!!
Your lunch looks deeelicious ! On cold and rainy days I love to bake something yummy. Either from a recipe or a packet or box it doesn't matter. Cooking and baking fill a home with warmth and comfort. I love your fireplace. I have a big electric one. 🥰🌱🌷💗✝
I love winter Catherine , twinkly lights, cosy fires, staying in and relaxing, I love it. I thankfully do not suffer with SAD. ( my mum did god love her, she hated the dark nights). Having said that January is when things start to get a little bit lighter and you can see hints of the spring to come. Beautifully filmed video, well done and thank you. ❤️🏴
Well, I need to get on the ball and clean out my drawers too 😂. Another lovely video. Your landscape where you always walk is gorgeous ❤. What a fabulous way to finish the day ❤
Catherine your house is so cozy and inviting, you have done a wonderful job decorating it. I hope that someday I can get mine to look half as nice. But sadly till I have an empty house so I can keep things the way I want it's gonna be A LONG time to wait. Lol
It think God gives us winter with the short days to rejuvenate us for the longer summer days. Your home is so cozy and the cat up the chimney made me laugh.
❤I had chili and rice with some shredded cheddar for lunch today. Perfect for a cold, wintry day. Yum! It gave me enough energy to finish taking Christmas down.😊 Wintering is very wise!
Fall is my favorite time of year. Its what i think if as the start of the year. Usually don't do well in january but just soent 5 days painting some furniture, ornaments and picture frames. But plan on doing puzzles or something relaxing the rest of january into february.
Absolutely stunning video. Just perfect on a cold, snowy January day. One of these days I will visit Ireland, it’s on my bucket list. ❤ Thank you so much for your videos.
☘🇮🇪 Hey Irish Girl, Love your cozy update. I prefer the Fall & Winter. Nothing better than sitting by your Laughing Fire🔥 with your Furbabies🐺🐱 good books📚 and a cuppa hot cocoa🍫☕
Oh yes,new Years resolutions! Mine got struck down by flue,so my January has si far been all about resting and restoring. Wishing I had a fire to cozy up to. 😊
Such a lovely video. I love the shorter days in Jan for the exact reason, it’s slow down and enjoy things that are cozy. After the Dec rush of so many things, I love Jan for the quiet!
Thank you for the video Catherine, it's an amazing country you live in, the walking trail has such beautiful sceneries. I noticed the vines gowing up the trees, it's very interesting, we don't have that in Canada. Your house is so cozy with the fireplace going, our dogs also enjoy laying in front of a fire. Enjoy this time of year to relax and rest. See you later and have a great weekend.
🥘🍲Catherine - For a simple chili dish, it looks very appetizing & I bet it tasted delicious. Scheduling periods of rest and rejuvenation during the early months, allowing yourself to unwind from holiday stress and set a positive tone for the coming year by prioritizing your well-being - it makes such a difference - A fireplace creates an ambiance, comforting and cozy space in the home, something about the flickering flames in the evenings - have a great weekend 🍵🔥
Take a pot, earth, and bulbs, when they have bloomed, you know where to plant them. That's what I do with forgotten bulbs. Now I am older and a tiny bit wiser I go with the seasons. January has 123 days, all the other months are normal but January takes forever. The sun is finally coming back. Days are getting longer, yay!
I can imagine that it must be hard when you're self employed bc you must always feel you have to be working. But you have to give yourself some time off. I'm with you on struggling with the cold days of January. I need sunshine for my mental health. Otherwise, I tend to sleep a lot. Good bless you Catherine! Love the video! ❤
I was out in the garden for three hours this morning, tidying up and replanting some shrubs that needed moving before they get too big. I love going out in the winter to garden as in the summer its too hot for me to do the big jobs. I filled up a large planter after finding a garden centre that delivered compost and no way would I do that in the summer. Looking at your rain I wouldn't go out in that rain. I'm all prepared now so I can sit back until it's time to plant.
I can’t believe Bjorg went up your chimney 😂. Watch Johnna Jinton. She will tell you the new year doesn’t start until spring. Now is the time for rest. You would love her videos.
Wonderful winter impressions, dear Catherine.❄️ I also like the cosiness the fire provides.🔥 And on top there are your two lovely kittens. 🐺🐺 Seems perfect, indeed.😇
nice video!!! love those kitties. found a few bulbs that need planting in a pot. we have snow on the ground here in Maryland and quite cold weather! so on with the wood stove and enjoy the indoors! cheers
It's been really cold over here in Germany Snowy too. We have taken early retirement and now have started to have our main meal at 13.00 strange thing we have lost weight with no diet. Hoping the weather stays mild as we are coming over to England ferry - Rotterdam Hull as a surprise for our daughters birthday at the end of January. Stay warm and take care
Keeping it real. Love it. My office area is taken over with granddaughters toys and sleep over stuff. It just is what it is. Glad you don't feel you have to show everything's perfect.
Hi Catherine that scenery was beautiful,I love an open fire so cozy I’m sure the cats loved it,I have bags of bulbs which were meant to be planted in November and are still in the same spot,good intentions and all that😂have a nice weekend.
Hi what a great reminder to us all to take it easy. 😊 I leave out anything I need to do or post it notes reminding me, in my case out of sight is out of mind. 😂
GUILTY, if I put things away, I forget to do them. My sewing table is set up, and fabric is out. Now, I just need to work on my project. I like to think your Mom is right about the freezing temps, killing all the viruses. ❤ to you
What a beautiful place to take a walk. I can see why you go there. I'm the same way. I leave stuff out so I do it. Especially things I don't really want to do.😄 That way I do it just so it doesn't keep sitting there!
January is definitely a time to hibernate as well as an opportunity to evaluate life. Not only do I leave the things out, I also put a reminder in my phone to do that task lol. I know you are super watchful over the cats but don't trust them with the fire. My older cat jumped on top of my woodstove and got 3rd degree burns, which resulted in major treatments for the burns then a trip to the vet every 2 weeks for 6 months for an antibiotic needle. It was absolutely horrible, and is something I still kick myself for.
I love to make taco salad with my taco mix. The salad mixing, cheese, tomatoes, onions with the meat mix and Doritos crunched up on it. Then use Classic Catalina dressing on it and it’s the bomb! I could eat it everyday. I also use taco meat in burritos. So good. Just a little change from boring food. I am making a pot roast this weekend. Where I live in Michigan it is cold and snow. I stay indoors most of the winter. Hugs to you and the cats! 💜💙💜💙👍🥰🐈⬛🐈⬛
This video came at a very relatable time - I’m trying to organize all of my supplies today, too. Why can’t we all have magic cabinets with infinite space? 😂 The room looks great!
Such a lovely video Catherine, thank you. I too have been trying to slow down this January. I do love this cozy season. I am reading and learning more that the winter months are for exactly that, rest and relax. Catherine could I ask please, what were those logs you were burning? We have a stove and an open fire and they looked perfect for both 🥰 xx
Your dinner looks delicious I always keep meaning to get one of those chocolate sticks seen them advertised My dog always loved the open fire we had one many years ago he would snuggle there all day night time he would follow us upstairs and make himself comfy on the end of the bed summertime he would always be out I’m starting to feel a bit emotional he’s been gone a lot of years still get choked when I think of him
Wish I had a real fire it takes me back years to when I had one in sitting room and one in the kitchen that had the boiler for hot water, no radiators. Could you please tell us about the collars on the cat they look like some sort of tracking devices. X
@DaintyDiaries everyone needs some personal time! Naturally an introvert. Ready to get our motorcycle out soon as winter ends. Warm sun and the wind in my face ♥
Aw, how sweet to see Ban and Beag relaxing by the fire! So cute 😍 Lovely video, Catherine x
Nothing beats curling up on the sofa in front of a cosy fire on a wet & stormy day. The smell of the turf, the feel of handknit thick & soft woolly socks on my feet, a good book and a cat or two curled up with me. Perfection.
Yes! Perfection ❤ the perfect afternoon in winter

Oh I bet the smell of the toast was amazing! What a lovely memory x
@DaintyDiaries it was the best smell and the best toast too.
❤❤❤
What a wonderful memory to have. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Yep I just want quiet and and peace. I love January it’s cozy reading, resting, watching movie month:)
Yes! Love getting cosy watching box sets or binging series x
Oh, and I've been rolling my eyes at all the seed starting noise here on YT. Not right now, please. I have to say I'm loving the short days and cozy nights!
As a dog person, I’m amazed that your kitties are working their magic! So cute! Maybe I could do a cat!? 😍
Awww they are so cute, their brother and sister, so their bonded and so cute together
The pink and blue cat dishes are adorable. Thank you for the reminder that it's okay to slow down. The sun streaming in at the end of the video is just divine!!!
I got those cat bowls in homesense, they do have really cute pet bits ❤ glad you found the video relaxing x

7:45+ is just the sweetest! Beautiful scenery!
Im glad you enjoyed it x
The sunrise and sunset at this time of year is glorious. Unless you're driving into it!
Isn’t it fab! But yes, sunglasses need now more than ever in the car
Ooh Catherine how lovely within a few minutes i was breathing more slowly! Thank you ❤️😘
Awww I’m happy to hear that 🥰
Well, I need to get on the ball and clean out my drawers too 😂. Another lovely video. Your landscape where you always walk is gorgeous ❤. What a fabulous way to finish the day ❤

Awww…the kitties living on each other! THAT is why we have two. I could watch that forever
They are so cuddly! Don’t be fooled though sometimes they love a little play fight too🤣
What a lovely cozy home you have and such cute cats ❤
Hey Catherine, that fire is so inviting and watching the cats enjoy the warmth it’s so relaxing❤😊 appreciating those moments
I think January too should be at your own pace. I love the cats in your bags. They are so cute.❤
It think God gives us winter with the short days to rejuvenate us for the longer summer days. Your home is so cozy and the cat up the chimney made me laugh.
❤I had chili and rice with some shredded cheddar for lunch today. Perfect for a cold, wintry day. Yum! It gave me enough energy to finish taking Christmas down.😊 Wintering is very wise!
It’s been so cold an open fire is gorgeous ❤
Yea, last week was so chilly!
La pluie ´la cheminée et un chocolat chaud ,,,trop le chat la cheminée et les deux chats qui ce lavent trop choux
Fall is my favorite time of year. Its what i think if as the start of the year. Usually don't do well in january but just soent 5 days painting some furniture, ornaments and picture frames. But plan on doing puzzles or something relaxing the rest of january into february.

You can't beat a chilli! To warm your belly, enjoy your early night x
☘🇮🇪 Hey Irish Girl,
Love your cozy update. I prefer the Fall & Winter.
Nothing better than sitting by your
Laughing Fire🔥 with your Furbabies🐺🐱 good books📚 and a cuppa hot cocoa🍫☕
Love your fire, so cozy.
Oh yes,new Years resolutions! Mine got struck down by flue,so my January has si far been all about resting and restoring. Wishing I had a fire to cozy up to. 😊
I hope you feeling better, it was such an awful dose that has been going around x
Such a lovely video. I love the shorter days in Jan for the exact reason, it’s slow down and enjoy things that are cozy. After the Dec rush of so many things, I love Jan for the quiet!

A hoover can clean out all of the fireplace soot as long as it’s fully cooled. Has saved us hours of brushing it up doing that 😊
I have a Dyson ( which I regret buying) and it clogs the filter in a few seconds. I regret getting rid of my Henry, he was great with soot.
You cud buy a zap ash😊

Your video was so relaxing. I really needed your words of wisdom today...thank you. I really appreciate you
I love doing dinner for lunch as well. I have more energy early in the day. Thanks for sharing your cottage with us all.
Yeah me too! This time of year especially, I don’t load my day to get all my stuff done because once it’s dark I’m so sleepy ❤
Take a pot, earth, and bulbs, when they have bloomed, you know where to plant them. That's what I do with forgotten bulbs. Now I am older and a tiny bit wiser I go with the seasons.

Needed the calm today, hubby home and recooping from knee surgery. It was a pleasant deep breath in a busy day. Thank you.
Aw I hope he has a smooth recovery and you also get some me time soon too ❤
Nothing like blue skies over the frosty foliage and grass. ❤. It is so beautiful there. And those kitties are so cute 🥰.
I can imagine that it must be hard when you're self employed bc you must always feel you have to be working. But you have to give yourself some time off. I'm with you on struggling with the cold days of January. I need sunshine for my mental health. Otherwise, I tend to sleep a lot. Good bless you Catherine! Love the video! ❤
It’s all about the balance ❤️ so important!! Thanks for stopping by xx
Your kitties are so adorable 🥰
Lovely relaxing video, the kitties are just adorable ❤❤
I always love the smell of an Irish burning fire it's the peat smell it reminds me of Ireland when visiting relatives xxx
What a lovely gentle vlog to watch on a very cold Winters night. 😊
I was out in the garden for three hours this morning, tidying up and replanting some shrubs that needed moving before they get too big.

You are so right in all things concerning January. Lovely cosy video, many thanks for sharing 😊

Lovely video, thank you.
Spreading shaving foam on the rug stains might work. 😊
I loved this video and all the animals on it. It was really relaxing 😌 ☺️ ❤xx
It smells delicious . And it looks so comforting. The cats are beautiful. How are you Catherine.

lol, I make my hot chocolate as I always do and then put the chocolate stick in just to make it chocolatier.❤
😂 I just found a bag of bulbs growing in the bag. I was like 😮 guess I have to plant these now. I like the new stickers.
That was a abrupt end! Lovely video, as always. Love a cosy day at home.
Glad you enjoyed it ❤ have a lovely evening. Thanks for watching
We're supposed to slow down in the winter.
A lovely relaxing video. Love the cat's antics. Lol. - Frances
Thank you! 😊 I hope you have a lovely evening

Did I miss the video where you got new sofa covers? 😊
Love your videos Catherine, thank you❤

My daffs and hyacinths have woken up and I’ve got catkins on my hazel (and it’s been freezing!)
Yes! I have noticed loads of bulb foliage too
Ive got a single daffodil about to come out. As far as I'm concerned spring has sprung. Exciting to see the plants are waking up😁
This video came at a very relatable time - I’m trying to organize all of my supplies today, too. Why can’t we all have magic cabinets with infinite space? 😂 The room looks great!

Hi so happy to click on your video❤❤❤
🥰 so happy to hear you enjoyed it
Left out stuff 👋🏻
Found you about a year ago, and I love your content. Also, you’re absolutely beautiful
Have you had your sofa recovered? X
Jealous of that fireplace! I work midnights be relaxing on days off at 2 or 3 am reading with a cup of tea or coffee ☕
Its great that you’ve found that time for yourself that’s what’s most important ❤️
@DaintyDiaries everyone needs some personal time! Naturally an introvert. Ready to get our motorcycle out soon as winter ends. Warm sun and the wind in my face ♥
@@Chris-farmer awww enjoy, those country road drives hid different in summer. All lush and green 🏍️
