Darling Hannah what a beautiful inspirational vlog. I’m 64 extremely active, however my life has changed drastically because I now take care of my husband in his 70’s who is suffering mid stages of memory issues. We had such a beautiful life, and he was such a loving man. That has all changed, as I’m sure you have heard often does with loved ones with memory issues. Watching yours and a couple of other inspirational younger women reminds me of myself in younger years. I have taken a lot of your healthy ideas, and taking care of yourself, and reminded myself to take time out for myself. I owned. A commercial real estate company as well as working as legal advocate for domestic violence with women in the courts here in the U.S. one of the things I used to lecture at women’s studies at universities, was women starting over. How to feel confident on your own again. One of the ideas I gave rather shy, or not confident women was this: When going out on your own have this idea of what you WANT TO BE, AND look like, and present yourself as a confident women. You may not be there YET, but keep that new you in your mind. When you walk in that room behave AS IFyou ARE NOW that confident women. It’s uncomfortable at first but it gets easier fairly quickly. my young students would come back and say…” I couldn’t believe how it worked for me”. Being on my own again, because I no longer have my husband at my side, has had to take me back to my own advice. You are a great role model for young women. I love your book titles. It seems we have almost identical taste in books. I appreciate your recommendations on books, beauty and cooking. Sending a warm snuggly hug from Southern California
Sending love to you ✨
Such wise advice for all women thank you do much xxx
What a wonderful message. Wishing you all the best ❤
Lovely advice
😊❤
I absolutely loved this video. I was always asked how I coped when my husband was travelling 7 months of the year and my answer was that I loved my own company! I love to cook, to read and to organise time with my own friends. When I was in my 20's I was a flight attendant and I loved my overnights in 5 star hotels. I finished my Bachelors Degree and decided I didn't want to read a non fiction book for a year so I only read fiction, applied to Qantas and started flying all over the place. It was incredibly liberating and made me feel comfortable being on my own. I was scared at first to sleep in hotel rooms alone and to go out for my dinner or lunch alone, but that was a short term problem and eventually I loved it! I have always loved shopping alone too, I feel like I can think more clearly and find things I need quickly. ❤ I think it is wonderful to be with people but to be alone and comfortable in your skin is an important skill to learn.
I just retired about a year and a half ago and everyone said I’d need hobbies to keep busy. I’m 70 and I love my time alone and my hobbies are like yours, reading, hiking, walking around, keeping my home and antique window shopping. I’ve been alone since 1990 and I’m much happier being that way. You don’t need other people to make you happy.
I really relate to what you said about hobbies. Like you, I was never sporty, musical or artistic, and often felt out of place at school. Now I've grown to love my hobbies like reading, walking and watching my favourite shows (with tea or wine depending on the time of day😂). They give me a sense of joy and calm. They reflect my introverted personality, and give me the alone time I need to recharge. Love your vlogs so much 🧡
Loved this video !
I feel like doing things on your own should be celebrated more, I love doing things on my own and it took time to stop caring what people think, take yourself for dinner and take your book with you, book a weekend trip away, go to the cinema and have a huge popcorn all to yourself, go to a gym class you haven’t tried before but always wanted to, go for a long walk or a bike ride and take yourself for a beer or whatever it is you want to drink,
There is sometning so empowering about taking yourself on a date, whatever it is!❤❤
Dear Hannah, one day you will look back on your ‘own’ time and remember how very special it was (and is), it’s a time to get to know yourself, so treasure it as it will enrich your life. You appear to be an ‘old soul’, a special person. Petra
You're so right about hobbies. Love how you put that.
Wow, exactly how I feel about ' hobbies' I LOVE doing what you enjoy, we are so fortunate!!!! With love to you X
i've been "dating myself" like you described there for almost a year now & i can honestly tell you, my quality of life has gone through the roof ever since (or maybe just the way i look at things, but that can do a lot for you as well). wouldn't be surprised if that became the new societal standard some time in the near future, and it's kind of what i hope for too 🤞😛
Thanks for being so positive about a subject that is still quite taboo. Living by yourself can be a really enjoyable and empowering experience. You are a great example of this Hannah as you seem to be really growing as a person. I find your vlogs so uplifting and inspirational. Thank you for being you.
Wow, what a beautyful, cozy, comfy video. Thank you for this. Makes me happy ❤
So enjoyed your video. I'm also on my own and starting to really enjoy it. Looking forward to next week.
Totally agree with you on the hobby thing, had the same experience and have grown into loving my less ‘exciting’ hobbies ❤️
I’m so pleased you covered this topic Hannah and how it can be enjoyable to be alone xx
Happy Sunday ❤ i also enjoy to do things alone recently, i really find peace in it ❤
I am in Canada and love your videos. I also love cinnamon in my oatmeal and I usually change it over to pumpkin spice for the fall.
Loved it all Thankyou for inspiring so many who need a jolt of confidence. Have a beautiful blessed day.🙏🕊💕🌹
I used to use wild for the longest time. I moved to Korea a year and a half ago and unfortunately my packages have gotten lost multiple times shipping here, so I've had to switch to a regular Korean brand of deodorant. I miss Wild, but I'm visiting home soon so I'll be able to bring some back with me.
Does anyone want to just drop what they are doing, sell everything and move/live at the cotswolds?
Probably everyone watching😂
Hi Hannah I've just discovered your channel & can I say how charming & relaxing it is. I luv how down to earth you are even talking about how you feel and female issue's each month. I can so relate! Absolutely luv your house, trips to Cotswoulds Baking dog walking & shopping n Farmers Market's. I'm currently binge watching all your uploads. Much ❤😊
That was lovely as always and yes time on your own can be daunting and scary but for someone who is 67 and suffers from a chronic illness that severely limits me I’ve learnt to live on my own this past year. It is surprising and can be beneficial. Good luck with this week…. And thank you for highlighting life on your own
Hannah I really enjoyed this vlog I too after many years am enjoying being by myself with 2 cats.Your vlog is inspiring andRoo is so sweet ❤❤❤
Hi Hannah, found your vids couple weeks ago n I love them. Self-love n care is extremely important, being alone doing things that makes you feel good. Alone time is good for your soul. Can learn great deal about yourself and find true happiness from within ones self. You n Kenny make me smile, n long distance relationships aren't easy although it can make you bond stronger , (n keep the spark going). Roo is so adorable. Your healthy lifestyle is quite inspiring. Have incorporated more vegan foods into my daily life, (fruuts, vegs, legumes, nuts, grains, healthy oils). Feel better when I eat this way. Like your positive minset. Have a lovely week, enjoy your time@Cotswolds, it's quite beautiful. ❤💜🌻✨
I love cinnamon in porridge particularly with apple, so delicious .
Thank u so much for this Hannah as always such a pleasure! I am in the process of moving to a new country on my own so this speaks volumes to me :). Also started a round of the becoming her challenge since it was a bit chaotic here at first. Luved the topic and the convo actually feels like ur my BFF haha :) 💗
Hello Hannah, I have loved watching this video. It’s so nice to hear your book recommendations. I’ve read The Foundling based on your review and I’m now keen to try A Little Life.
I’m strongly recommending you The Sanatorium (set in Swiss alps, murder mystery but not scary), and also The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (Set in 16th Century France and beyond- it’s unbelievably good!) I honestly think you will love it. 🥰 📚 📖 The buzz is that it will be made into a film too, which is exciting.
I’m currently reading It Ends With Us, I’m a little late to the party with this read, but I’m absolutely loving it! 🥰
Have a terrific weekend, enjoy the Cotswolds and can’t wait for the next vlog. xx
love from South Australia
Just found your vlogs last week been binge watching them 💝
Thank you for being here 🥰
I highly recommend Catherine steadman for thrillers (Something in the water is my favorite.). I also liked the Villa by Rachel Hawkins, but that is maybe more a dual timeline mystery than a thriller. I also liked the It Girl by Ruth ware. Happy reading!
For page turners, I highly recommend The Man who Disappeared and The Love of my Life both by Rosie Walsh. They are both non scary mysteries and I stormed through them - as I did The Silent Patient. I also found The Forgetting a really good page turner too.
what a lovely vlog 🩷 I grew up in England and then our family moved to the Austrian alps when I was 10, I’m now 27 and when people ask me where home is, I always say Austria is where I live, but England is my home. Watching your videos really makes me feel that. Thank you for inspiring me to take care of myself Hannah 🥰 also a book recommendation from me: The Housemaid by Freida McFadden. I read it in one day, real page turner and not scary.
I just visited Bath, and imagine my surprise when I found your little chihuahua mug in a shop- when I tell you I literally screamed- my bf was so confused 😂 I just bought some stuff from the Emma Bridgewater sale and brought it back home with me to Canada- love having the same crockery as you ❤🥰
Thank you I really need this ❤ I have the opposite situation, as my husband and I are business partners. We spend every moment together, and I don’t really get to see anyone else. I really needed some time to myself this morning to relax and feel more feminine energy! ❤ xxx
Your kind heart shines through! I hope to see the Cotswolds someday! ❤
The miniaturist and Norwegian wood are two books I also liked the look of and picked up!
Lisa Jewell writes really good page turner thrillers like silent patient! Also her books are alwayssss in charity shops for 50p/£1!!!
One of your ho bbys are deffoo reading, gardening, walking with roo and also baking i would say ❤
Hannah - After watching your video this morning, I made your recipe for dinner. It was great, and even pleased my picky husband. :)
As for a book recommendation involving crime (but not suspenseful or scary), I recommend English author Tim Sullivan's DS Cross series. I don't like suspense, being frightened, or crime in general as entertainment, and yet I couldn't get enough of this smart series. It's about a brilliant police detective who is also autistic, and how he approaches life, his colleagues, family, and crime solving. His books are so, so good.
Enjoy!
I loved The silent patient too. Claire Douglas books are thrillers that are good page turners and not too scary xx
Loved the video, thank you!!
I love your vlogs! I find them to be very inspirational. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Well done you for putting yourself out of your comfort zone - I spent many years working in sales and often dined alone in hotels, I used to enjoy playing the game of guessing which table they would sit the "solo female diner" on 🤣🤣, thankfully things have changed a lot since those days! But I enjoy my own company and like you say, you should look at that alone time as time to do the things you love, my partner is usually away a couple of nights a week, so I'm now enjoying cooking veggie dishes for myself and I'm going to give your butterbean dish a go - I loved the squeezy bottle you used to put oil onto your veggies for roasting - could you share where you got that from please? x
Perfect Aesthetic is the way you are living. Would love to move to English countryside from Germany but can’t get visa sadly.
Just adore your vlogs thank you xx
Loved this video. Lovely way to spend Sunday morning. Thank you.
I absolutely love your vlogs. Always such cozy vibes 💗
My Dad always told me growing up when I felt down on myself about other ppls opinions was “There just like you;” They put their pants on one leg at a time”! 😂❤
It’s kinda funny but also when ever I felt intimidated by someone or an event I’d remind myself of that! So snobby girls/women or speaking in front of crowds it helped me in life even now at age 54 and social media gets to me I say it to myself! I won’t lie there’s been times especially in high school & girls were snots I would picture them “falling over” whilst putting their pants on one leg at a time😂😂😂😂 I
Bonjour Hannah, j'adore tes vidéos ! Quel magnifique endroit où tu vis ! Je regarde tes vidéos depuis la Nouvelle Calédonie 🌴🌸 ! Gros bisous 😘
Happy Sunday ❤️
Beautiful vlog, interesting and very relaxing to watch. Have a great week ❤
I ❤your vlogs and so appreciate the vegan recipes 😉Such beautiful spots you take us to...Thank you 🤗🌈
Lovely vlog, I drove past the Wild Rabbit last week, I was going to stop I heard it's nice food...will definitely look up *The Fox* next time I am in the Cotswolds.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. 💜
I love the fact that you had the same hobby question as I did (and probably most of us). Our hobbies overlap significantly. I love reading and cooking/baking as well, especially when I get to try something new that I know most of my family wouldn’t want.
The one book that I read last year that flew by was The Last Word by Taylor Adams. It has a thriller tone, short chapters that fly by. The only warning is that it features a woman who is house sitting and alone with her dog and reading book after book. She leaves a negative review and the author starts coming after her to try to get her to remove the review. The premise is great but living mostly alone may not be the best time to read it! Your recipe looked great btw. I want to try it as well.
Happy Sunday
Such an inspirational vlog 🎉. Thank you.❤
Thank you for such a lovely video, that came at the perfect time for me. I’m newly out of a relationship that made me lose all sense of self and the confidence to do a lot things. This video has made me excited to get back to my happy, peaceful single life getting so much joy from the little things ✨
Book recommendation - Verity by Colleen Hoover is fantastic if you haven’t already read it!
Nice calm video. Maybe place the camera different when you are exercising. 😬. Love seeing your city. Love your kitchen.
I truly don't understand why it's in this day and age still a topic of eating/being or going somewhere on your own? Why is it "normal/acceptable" that going somewhere in couples or with 2 is the norm? I do quite a lot on my own, dining out, travelling etc. If you're not confident on your own, it raises the question why you would be needing someone else to make you complete? It doesn't make sense. Maybe it's daunting, but if you don't try, life passes you by, not having had the experiences ❤
It’s to give us company who are alone and show that it’s okay to be that way?
It seems like you do understand why some people find it hard to go alone. They are not as confident in themselves and are afraid of being seen. I am one of these people who have social anxiety, but as I get older I care less what people think. Taming that inner hard critic is key for people like us. It's different for various situations obviously, like going to the grocery store is easy to go alone. Going to a social function like brunch, you may feel that you need someone there as a buffer in conversation to limit awkwardness. Some people find it hard to open up and may put up walls which isolates them even in a crowded room. I heard someone say it's not the people there that make you feel lonely but your own perceived gaps in communication which make you feel incompetent and small.

The Alice network by Hannah Quinn is a great read
This was such a cozy and wholesome video Hannah! I love seeing how you spend time on your own since I also enjoy my alone time a lot. Reading is such a nice hobby ❤📚
Would love to see you going to the cinema by yourself. This is something I'm trying to do more of ☺
I do this all the time! Will definitely film it at some point 🥰
I'm running to the comments to suggest 'The Stranger Diaries' by Ellie Griffiths for your next thriller read! It's so atmospheric and will be a great read for Autumn. Love your content as always! X
I feel like the Codswalts feels like it’s Italy influenced. Please I hope to Not offend anyone by saying that. It’s the brick buildings and beautiful flowers everywhere ❤ I’m from The US an love seeing peoples vlogs from other countries. I actually have a younger cousin who lives somewhere in London. She married a man from there and I think I’ve seen her 1 time since! She has two kiddos I’ve never met which is sad to me.
I love your outfit. What brand is the bodywarmer ?
Mystery thriller rec: Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson!
Please could you tell me where your fruit bowl with the handles is from and also your reading chair! another great video, thank you! 💕💕
Also have you tried Nicci French books , they’re great too xx
Oh! Hello, regarding page turner mystery thrillers: this year, my book club has just read both “Birnam Wood” and “Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead” and both are absolutely fantastic and have very little actual scariness at all-if any-but definite cozy mysteries and very difficult to put down.
Hi Hannah,
Loved the video. The Maidens is a great book by the same author as The Silent Patient
I like Martina Cole lady killers, it's a gritty crime drama and is probably my favourite book of hers. It's not scary, as in a horror, but it's quite dark. You could imagine the story being in an episode of the TV series Luther, if that makes sense x
Yes.
Hi Hannah, it’s not a thriller, but I really enjoyed “The Echo of Old Books”, by Barbara Davis. 😊
The Dead Romantics was a change of pace for me in my reading. Absolutely LOVED it. It was refreshing from my usuals reads but also made me feel invigorated afterwards to get back to my comfort reads.
Would love to hear how you find ‘Wilding’ 📖
Ps would recommend the last thing to burn by Will Dean if you want a page turner!
Great cosy video 😊 This could be a good time to take some classes to hone skills you'll use in the future. Not that you need it but cooking classes could be fun. Time to learn a new language or renovation/DIY skills for your new home, etc. You're doing so well!
hello, all the way from NYC - When traveling and booking hotels are you ever nervous about safety and how people are going to treat you in a nother part if the country / place you are visiting. - I may go on a solo trip in September but I'm a little nervous .. to be honest I ve never done it before and I want to see if I can do it on my own. How do you go and do that and how do you deal with I guess travelers anxiety?
My life has been changing and sadly, I feel like I need new insperation, a different outlook on life, and the drive to do this is very strong ... to see like you said " see if you can learn being on your own..
Can you please what teas you drink? I love cinnamon flavored but worry the brand I use is not the best. TY
I use Clipper teas because they’re organic, no plastic and no bleaching the tea bags 🥰
@@HannahAdkins thank you! 💗
❤❤❤
😊i love cinnoman
I think "hobbies" is outdated. I think we should ask "what do you like to do to be creative"? That encompasses many more past times and actions.
Hi Hannah, loved the vlog. What was the first book you mentioned? I am curious what the book is that you previously read by the author. Love you and Roo💜
I’d love to stay in hotels on my own but it’s so frustrating that there’s no adjusted pricing for solo travellers :(
Can I please ask what oil do you use xx
Hi Hannah, I love your videos & your gentle nature. I’ve noticed that you do not have any artwork or decor on your walls. Was that a conscious decision or have you just not decided on anything yet?
Hi what do you add to your porridge? is it oatbran? or flaxseed? x
Flaxseed x
@@HannahAdkins Thanks lovely xx
The Miniaturist was made into a mini series with Anna-Taylor Joy too.
Kamu harus coba masakan Indonesia yg sangat enak...
영화의 한장면 같아요^^
I think if it is an event where its mostly going to be women you really shouldn't worry. I just rock up and talk to the nearest half friendly looking female and you are generally good to go after that. As women when we see another one of our kind alone at some event or another, I think we should just invite her to be with us. You can and I do often gather quite the eclectic group of friends that way.
Hannah, First of all, I love your videos. They are beautiful and you have a gentle spirit. Secondly, I appreciate that you miss Kenny and are filling your time with self care. But, and I mean this with no disrespect, there are millions of military spouses that dealing with this for years while they are separated from their loved one every day. And, many of them have children they are raising by themselves. They are trying to carry on knowing that their loved one is in daily danger. Kenny is playing football. I think it is important to keep things in perspective. I realize you are trying to help others and your heart is genuine. As a former military mom I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to share this thought. I pray for all soldiers daily.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ooh if you liked The Silent Patient, I'd really recommend two other books by the same author called The Maidens and The Fury! Also The It Girl by Ruth Ware is another favourite of mine.
Where does she live? It looks sooooo beautiful!!
we love your videos and want more content, like if you think so too
I love your videos, all the places you show us are a dream, you have very fine taste from my point of view, you are sick, you speak very hoarse, I hope not, just as I hope you don't adopt that North American fashion of speaking hoarse that sounds very common.
Please continue being as elegant as you have been until now, I love your videos
kadang mukamu terlihat cemberut
I can highly recommend ‘convicted’ it’s a page turner, I couldn’t put it down 📚
I loved The silent patient too, Claire Douglas books are thrillers that are good page turners and not too scary xx
❤❤❤
