The garden is so very pretty.
Yes please to more home vlogs.
Thank you!
You guys are adorable and wholesome, watching you get ready for baby is heartwarming. Love watching all of your gorgeous cosy content Athena, You are both going to make such wonderful parents. The baby corner you have prepared is wonderful. They don’t need much as grow so quickly.
Thank you so much 😊
Feeling quite 'special' that I was featured in your video just so wonderful to be near you all and being able to help at this incredibly special time in your lives. Love you darling xxx
I love all your content and it's so nice to escape somewhere beautiful with your travel videos but my favourites are the homey vlogs - you do them so well and they're always so lovely! (also, I'm not a mum yet but I'm really enjoying your baby content - especially you talking through setting up the changing area - it's so reassuring watching you make the space you have work so well. We just bought quite a small house and this is something I'm already stressing about for the future 😂). ❤️
So pleased to hear that and hope I can offer some tips for when you want to start a family 🥰 I’m hoping the space is enough though we do keep accumulating more! 😅
How lovely to have your Mum nearer, just in time for baby arrival! I really loved seeing those beautiful painted pictures of you! Simply gorgeous! Take care xx
Lovely blog. So excited for you, Harvey and Oslo, for when your new family member arrives. The baby changing station is perfect and the drawer linings bought tears to my eyes. A superb idea well done mum!! Love the drawings too. Important to surround yourself with things that make you feel good. XXXX
Hi Athena. Harvey strumming the guitar...practising lullaby's no doubt & Oslo being a model diva. Love it. You look like you are blooming. Take care mate xx
Athena, I really enjoy your home vlogs, it's a delight to watch it😁 you vibrate such positivity❤ take care
Thank you so much 😊
Athena you are blooming! You look so well and content..and yesssss I'd love to see homely, pottering content, I've said it before and I say it again,ppl come to watch you as a person in all that you do,and this is a very special time for you all and we/i would be thrilled to come along on your journey..take this part of your life slowly as the hormones will be all over the place,take it easy and be kind to yourself 😊..looking forward to your next vlog.
Thank you so much 🙏❤️
Everything is so wholesome about this video! Best of luck with the baby on its way ❤️
Ohh Athena you are so sweet !!! I love to see you so happy and excited for the baby. What a beautiful moment of your life you are sharing with all of us, thank you for that! These videos are a treasure for the future.
The drawings of @theremaybecats are incredible cute, she is so talented. It was emotional to see the beautiful drawing that she made of your brother. Really beautiful. ❤️
I will not go into details but I want you to know that your videos help me so much in a difficult moment of my life and I will be grateful to you forever.
Gracias Athena, desde el fondo de mi corazón GRACIAS!! Mucho amor para ti y toda la familia.
Aw thanks so much, this is lovely to hear ❤️🥰
I love these long, chill vlogs! So peaceful and relaxing to watch with my morning coffee ☺️
Love the home vlogs so much! And the baby content, and the garden content, and the toast content, and allll the Oslo content... here for it! :)
Haha aww thanks!
Your videos are always so calming...lovely to see you nesting...relax while you both wait for the arrival of your next adventure ❤
Athena does have an endearing chuckle,her videos are easy to watch with such a romantic view and feel, nice job Athena ❤️🇬🇧👍
Such a beautiful and wholesome video. Golden hour in the hills looks magical.
A beautiful evening before the rain! 😊
I love your home vlogs. There is something very comforting about watching you slice bread and make coffee, it's very soothing after a busy work day.
Mmmmm dog modeling...hard work. Baby set up is perfect. Agree that 1st few years baby can be with you. Lots of nodding in agreement as you talked through your prep. God bless you all.
Your videos warm my heart and remind me of the things, the little things, that are the most important. Thank you both for sharing your life with us, you make the world that little bit brighter. Very excited for your new arrival, and I can’t wait to see how you involve your little one in your adventures! Ours has just turned 2 and we have just bought a van to convert, I’m desperate to see Scotland again and the Lakes. Your baby is one lucky kiddo to grow up where you live, and in such a nourishing family. Keep taking good care of yourself, beautiful mama to be ❤️
I enjoyed your video at home, seeing your work area, your organized stock area, dunking your toast in the yoke at breakfast, (yum my fav too!) seeing your beautiful garden, the purple flowers, going to the stream to cool off, Oslo resting on the rug, going to the garden center with your Mom, seeing her garden. I really like your organized cabinet with the baskets, for the nursery corner. The color is perfect. I am so happy for you. I love the glow around you. I would like to know more about eco psychology. I do believe you may have used it in your videos. I love the feelings I am left with after watching alot of your videos. I love it! Like I couldn't get enough. I hope you have a really nice week.
Such a heartwarming video! Really enjoyed it. Laughed at the part where Harvey was trying to get Oslo to be the model on the bracket. Beautiful baby changing corner that you’ve created and also the garden that Harvey created for your mum.
Thank you so much 😊
Yes to ' Little chilled home vlogs'
Lovely vlog as always Athena. I love your garden pots and your mums garden. The echinacea looks amazing. Garden centres are an obsession of mine and too much money is spent there according to my husband. Loving the baby content also, nesting is such a precious time, enjoy every moment. I ordered some bits from Ramble store the other day, the stock is so well curated. Lots of lovely things for gifts and for me. Amazing job.
Thanks so much and I hope you like what you ordered! 😊
I’m totally here for the chilled, homey vlogs. Love your content, whatever you put up. Received my Isla Middleton tree postcards; they are gorgeous. Thank you. 💕
Thank you! So glad they arrived and you like them! They’re so beautiful 😍
I love watching the preparations for the baby. Such a special time washing the little garments and getting everything ready. I can remember that feeling of it not feeling real, looking at cot and thinking soon a little baby will be in there!
that is a great start to the week-end. Thanks
Beautiful vlog as always, I love your home vlogs soooo much! Thank you for bringing joy to a soggy Sunday afternoon
Yes to the home blogs, very relaxing to watch 😀 x
How sweet is that little drawing of your family group - precious
Another lovely video and so lovely to watch, I’m just catching up from this month, I equally love your home vlogs and outdoor vlogs 😁
The changing stand looks fab keep everything it looks great
What a lovely warm video so nice to watch you look so excited now with all your baby clothes Oslo looks so chilled
Awwwhhhh the liners from your Dad’s jacket are so lovely and precious, such a wonderful keepsake 🥰 Do you have any plans to add a sweatshirt or hoodies to your shop? I am already thinking of autumn/winter lol
Aw thank you! Yes we are looking into both at the moment :)
Such wonderful content. Always really grounding and heartwarming to watch. Thank you
Loving the home vlogs Athena
can't wait to see more!
Hi Athena (and Harvey and Oslo!) I just wanted to say a huge thank you for making your videos and running your store. I placed on order last week of your Ramble Guide, x2 Peak District maps and the Nalgene bottle (perfect for Osprey backpacks with notoriously shallow but wide bottle holders) which arrived extremely quickly and perfectly packaged! Your videos have really encouraged me to get out walking more, and as soon as I have finished my doctorate I will be heading up to the Peaks to try out some of your walks. Thank you for being such a trailblazer (literally and metaphorically), and showing us that life can be lived with so much fulfilment. Keep doing you! Stay safe and much love xx
Loved this home/work/life Vlog can't wait to see more :)
A lovely video. I enjoy all your output, it is so soothing. I was interested to see your mum's lovely little garden as I am planning to move back from France to Cornwall to a mobile home with a tiny garden. Home vlogs will be lovely,
It’s really lovely, and she has a deck that runs right around the caravan too so lots of outdoor space in a small space! 😊
Lovely to catch up, you are looking so well, exciting times ahead. Enjoy this time, Oslo too is looking so chilled. Take care 🙂💕
I love your mother's house and garden! 😍
Brilliant Vlog
It's so lovely to have a glimpse of your world what ever your doing
Great to hear that your mum will be close by
She will be a huge support to you and the baby...
All the best for the future😁😁😁😁🐥
Such a nice, homely feel-good vlog :) Loved it & sending you all of the good vibes in your third trimester, so exciting! Xx
Lovely video and definitely up for more of these chilled home vlogs! I'm also using them as a reminder of things I need to do before baby arrives :-D The baby changing area looks really great!
Always love your videos, no matter whether you're out adventuring or staying cosy at home. Also just wanted to say, some of the shots in this were stunning! Makes me wish I was there. Take care, looking forward to some at-home vlogs to come ♥️
Love the home videos too!! 💚🌿🌸
So good seeing you slow down a bit now. Would love to watch home blogs. Take care.
oh that wild swimming spot, so lovely!
and yes to the vlogs 😍
love the homey vlogs!😘😘
Lovely vlog! Your Mum's garden plot is a gem! Really enjoyed this enormously. PS the little paintings are just adorable. Heirlooms ☺️
Will keep them for a long long time I hope 😊
Love seeing you nesting 💓
Stunning views as always. Your garden is amazing, so many thriving pots. Athena you look so well and seem to be enjoying pregnancy. Make sure you give your body time for plenty of rest too. Maybe a suggestion for your baby changing table/mat is Harvey could make a wider top so you don’t loose things down the gap and it will give you more space on top for supplies. Xx
This was a lovely video, as always 💕 I love your adventure vlogs & also the home ones, they’re so inspiring & peaceful respectively. Keep the changing pad, it looks fine where it is and you can move it around as needed - our changing pad is technically too big for the chest of drawers it’s been sitting on for the last 10 ish months and we move it to the bathroom as needed & wherever else. It now lives under the cot 👌🏼 Xox
Enjoyed video. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Cheers Athena: I enjoyed your latest vlog and seeing all of your products you've organized in your storage space. Love Baby's new changing area plus the lovely paintings of you, Harvey, and Oslo. The flowers in your garden are beautiful too and your home looks so cozy and homey. Enjoy your nesting and preparing for Baby time. Jenny
Thanks so much 😊
@@RambleFamily It would be great if the artist who made the portraits of you all could sell them as cards or prints to sell on your website. I'd certainly buy one! Jenny
Hi folks glad to see all safe, your glowing athena all so relaxed and chilled, my dad used to say the smallest person will make the biggest changes, its so true athena I can vouch for that, stay safe folks 😎
I'd send back the changing mat as although it is wide, it isn't very long and you will find that baby will outgrow it quicker than you think! I kept a changing mat upstairs and one downstairs as you will be changing baby all the time and won't want to run up and down all the time... keep a basket of essentials in the living room for easy access x
Ah thanks for the advice! I’ve already decided to keep the mat but may just have to get another one at some point 😅
I enjoyed your film.
You live in such a beautiful place , I hope the next few months go well for you and Harvey , get plenty of rest while you can as it will soon be baby time.
Lots of love to you all.
Thank you 😊
...one of your best home vlogs!!!🙂👌💛
Aw thanks!
Hi from NZ. More home vlogs sound fab!
Such a lovely cosy vlog ❤️
I love the homely vlogs and seeing anything baby related 😁 those paintings were lovely!
My mum says take it easy 😅 (we watch your videos together 😊) x
Wonderful! You are really getting organised, but with time to go for some lovely dog walks too. I do love Sedburgh. So glad you will have your mum close by for physical and moral support when baby arrives. Just ordered my TeeShirt!
Thanks Sue! 😊
Lovely video and so nice to have your mum close by for baby's arrival! Lizx
So nice to have her near 😊
This video was simply stunning! Best video on Cornwall i found on your channel which is how i was introduced here, your town or village or wherever bouts looks so beautiful, i'd love to visit the area but i won't ask where it is as thats too intrusive just thought i'd say you guys are so cool! Excited for all content old and new xx
Maybe put another top on the baby change station to accomodate the wider change mat. Love the colour you chose and the liners...lovely idea.
Really enjoyed this one 😊❤️
Thank you! 😊
Lovely video and so happy you're settling in well. I always gravitate towards your videos exactly because they have a homey and calming feel - YES to more home vlogs! Btw, what presets/luts do you use to create that rich, contrasty feel?
Hi Athena, really enjoyed your video fantastic
Nice vlog, well done your mum moving up near you too👍
Love your videos Athena, and I agree with others - film whatever you like! My partner’s got the same van as yours (his was originally bought for transporting diving equipment) - you and Harvey have inspired us to adapt it where possible so we can go exploring and stay in it! Glad you’re nesting and the baby station looks practical and so peaceful and sweet! Also love that floral cushion on the sofa, do you mind sharing where it’s from?
You will be wonderful parents! Watching this brought back memories (my daughter is almost 30!)....so many beautiful moments in this video - you are very lucky to have your Mum close by. Much love to you guys. Relax. Athena, please do rest, you are growing a fully fledged human!!! So much love xxx
Thanks Dawn! 😊
PS I do rest a lot, I just don’t film those bits as they’re boring 😂😅
It looks lovely. You can make a shelf behind the changing cupboard so the surface is bigger.
Might get Harvey to do that! 😊
Beautiful video, you're looking amazing btw. Take care, thanks for sharing x
Thanks so much 😊
New subscriber here. Loving your vlogs and yes absolutely would love to see some more of you at home. 💜
Thank you!
Another lovely video. My partner pointed out that the baby clothes in the top baskets, lined with your Father's coat, are getting a hug from Grandad.
Lovely video
Got my T shirt thanks very much what quality, it feels great just got to find an excuse to wear it!! Got the first ramble guide so what next? a mug I think. Thanks for the continuing story keep well all of you.
Loved the egg cups you were using..any plans to include those in your store.?
Another great video( I really love seeing the hills where you live. I didn’t know Harvey plays guitar. Music is a gift that last more than a lifetime. I’ve been playing for over 45 years now. I used to love playing for my sons when they were younger. It’s something Harvey may love to do for your child as well. God bless!
He says he doesn’t play properly but he’s recently started trying to teach himself more 😊
@@RambleFamily Tell Harvey to keep at it. There’s so much to discover. Some of my favorite players are Phil Keaggy, Tommy Emmanuel, Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, and many more. They inspire me, and so does nature. On a recent hike I noticed a bird’s call - 3 phrases, with 3 notes each. I recorded it, and am in process of writing a song around it…
Athena....our friend used to refer to her bump as Baby ‘SPUD’....which sounds odd until you realise it means ‘Special Person Under Development’ So exciting & daunting for you both. Enjoy this precious time.
Ooooh😍😍😍
I noticed the “Beesten Boek” in the baby’s corner. Either one of you Dutch or Belgian? (sorry, I’m new to your channel). The little paintings of you all, by Elke, are beautiful, and so special 🥰
Oh I started crying when you showed the basket liners with Dad's jacket. 💕 Oh love, how incredibly special. I love love love the baby station. 💘👶 Im so estatic for you both!! Congratulations. So happy mom gets to be close too!
💕Sending love from USA.💕
Wonder if you could buy a storage building to put outside for hiking/bike/equipment? You could move it with you when time for a new place. Could help with space/storage? 💡❓
We’ve thought about doing this and have also looked into storage locally! We are looking to buy a house in the next year or less so we might just see what happens with that first 😊
Seeing yr mum with a Dutch supermarket bag feels odd since AH has no UK shops. Nice to have her closeby.
Lovely video Athena! The baby changing area looks fantastic and the basket liners are so sweet, what a wonderful keepsake! Can i ask where you got the baskets from that are on top of the baby changing station?
My mum actually gave them to me so not sure where they came from originally! She didn’t need them anymore and I thought they’d be perfect 😊
@@RambleFamily they're lovely! I've been on the look out for something similar 🌼
Hi athena what soil mix do you and Harvey use in your plant pots?
Great video,and love the pictures for your changing area,where are they from?
I put a link to Elke in the description 😊
Wondering if there's Dutch roots in your family, saw a Dutch children's book in the baby room? :) As a Dutch person I've been loving living and exploring in the UK, also with the help of your videos!
Hi Athena lovely video..btw do you know the books The Salt Path and The Wild Silence ..great reads..
Hi Joanne, yes I have read the Salt Path, wonderful book! I haven't read Wild Silence but will add it to my list :)
Have you tried the fillet steak from the butchers yet?
How about convert the attic space? A quick less expensive option to extend the house?❤️🇬🇧
We don’t own the house im afraid! We’re just renting but looking to buy somewhere locally in the next year 😊
No sabía que estuvieras embarazada, y estuvieran esperando un bebé. Yo espero que todo vaya bien, y tu hijo nazca sano y sin problemas.
Preciosos tus videos.
Muchas gracias 😊
Athena, this is lovely. Where did you get the floral curtains from, and were they already made up or did you sew them up yourself? Prepare now for the baby coz you look very well and mum, Harvey and Oslo are there for you. God bless.
They came with the house! It’s a rental house so not sure where they came from originally!
@@RambleFamily awww!!!
Where were you swimming? I want to go there.
The blanket looks perfect for a picnic. I have to ask because I'm learning English - I'm American - have heard sweaters being called jumpers, but you called them cardigans. We call sweaters that button down the front cardigans, so is that the same in US & England?
A jumper goes over the head and a cardigan has buttons! 😊
Those mugs look wonderful. Do you ship internationally to the U.S.?
We do! It’s a little pricey for postage though 😅
Have you had any weird or new foods you’ve craved whilst pregnant? One of my friends hated eggs until pregnant then ate soooo many!
Nothing weird, I just love all the food 😂
🌻😊🌻🌻🌞🌞🌻😊💕💕
'Beesten Boek' is Dutch? :)
Beautiful dog. Can I ask the breed? Many thanks x
He’s a Lakeland Trailhound (rescue) 😊
