Take your sun glasses and use your heat gun to warm the ends of the arms and you can bend them to fit you. As for trees, we have 5 acres and our mix of trees is a little nutty. We have pine trees that need to come down as they are nearly 220 feet tall and starting to bend with high winds. We also have oak, maple and a ton of cedars as well as others.
Lovely vlog, as usual! It's like sitting down for a weekly catch up but without you hearing what I say. Wow, that sounded a bit depressing... Still I love to see this slice of life. A few things I said: Great gifts for Tim! Growing trees are harder than you think-nature does it best on its own. Bummer about the kettle-always boil more than you think you need while you're at it. and I buy all my sunglasses at end of season sales in a store.
I love Sarah Lankashire, one of my favorite actresses. I loved her in Last Tango in Halifax. But all her stuff is good. This was a fun video - your wreath came out beautiful. Thank you! 🙏
Cornwall has been hit hard for sure. We nearly lost our old apple tree and our Victorian wall. Roots are under the wall so think that will need reassessing 😏 I’ve been looking on the National Grid power cut map and in my area alone there are about 600 houses without power. We seem to have been quite lucky and only had one power cut. Hope you enjoyed the wreath crafting ☺️
I saw the video where u did grease the rope for.the squirrels and to no avail!!! I forgot to also tell you here in Michigan the squirrels make these huge nests from twigs and leaves way up in tree branches. They look like big bee hives..but are actually squirrel nests. Your yard is beautiful. Michigan has been 5° one day, rain and 40° next day then 8" snow..crazy weather. Take care..love the advent calendar. Going to get one for my cat.❤
I love mugs too, and also have too many! Suggestion: I love my christmas mugs but I put them away after christmas to have enough space for my regular mugs. Then I only see them once a year and apprecite them so much! I might have to start doing it with some of the other seasonals as well especially autumn mugs
Hahaha so impressed with that Aussie accent!! You sounded like Kylie Minogue in Neighbours! 😂 That cheese hamper is a great idea! I would love something like that!! That will be on my wish list next Christmas!! And that wooden sign is amazing!!! Omg! 😍😍 oh those art and craft classes you’ve been going sound so good! I would totally go with you to them!
Hi Claire. Under the slab, you could plant some spring bulbs like crocus, daffs, snowdrops etc to give you a little burst of colour early next spring? I moved from Essex to a pine forest in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. Our soil is acid so under our trees are rhododendrons & ferns.
I bet that baby tree is what we call a sucker. It's probably growing out of the roots from the main tree. Beautiful garden. Tim's sign is awesome. Get some sleep.
Happily too far west to be hit by the massive snowstorm! Just winds and rain. I've just finished Madness and it was full of action! Love wreath build, so much fun so enjoy your class!
Claire, I have gone through several of those electric pots for my tea or coffee. The first one lasted about a year or better. But after that they failed so horribly. I finally got a proper tea pot, and use the stove! It saves me a lot of frustration. So 1950s, here I am.
Ohhhh yes Tim suggested we get a stove top one - this one I had was about 8 years old - and we just bought a cheap one - it is soooooo LOUD it sounds like a train is coming haaaaa
Clair, my ferns do wonderful under my thick trees. So I would think they would do just fine under yours. I love seeing your shopping trips! I would love to see you driving around town to show us what it all looks like
Ahhhh that is great to know thank you xx oh yes I should take you all round town at some stage - a lot of this town is pedestrianised but will see what I can do xx
My week was so stressful. They say things happen in 3's well they do. Monday my screen broke on my phone £430 later was fixed, Friday my shredder broke, then today woke up to 2 fence panels and posts on next doors garden. Have moved the bits back into my garden, will have to wait till 2025 to get it fixed. Will be glad when 2024 is over for me has been very sad and stressful year. Sorry for ramble, love your vlog it cheered me up no end ❤❤❤
Hi Claire hope you loved your class, the m&s calendar looks great i got the look fantastic one, i cant watch subtitles as i cant watch something and read at the same time, if im reading i cant take it whats happening, that madness sounds good tho, may try that , thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ xxx
Do you see all that green on that side of your fence? THAT'S mold/moss...DANK...very moist...ferns will appreciate it! Might want to plant them further down towards those willows. Most ferns really don't like hard, direct light. *Suggestion:* DRIP lines to keep your flowers and trees moist. Ask your dad. Those things are awesome!
Claire it’s 9.05am here in Australia and where we are it’s kinda cool and I still have my pj’s on, comfort plus. You sounded like an Aussie when talking how Lisa would like that perfume. My daughter lives and breaths TK Max. Dani turned 11 last October and he’s never been left alone, one or the other is always with her mind you it has created problems. Spray that $5.99 tag with your isopropyl alcohol. Great video Claire, I’m going to watch Jude now. Se3 you soon. 🥰. Oh forgot, come to Dartmoor (Australia), we’re surrounded with pine forests, thousands and thousands of plantation pines, a fire would be a disaster.
Lovely vlog once again,ms Claire 😍💜,George looks so excited about his advent calendars gifts😍.Loved the mugs and other stuffs 💜. Belated Birthday wishes to Tim🎂🍰💐💐,hope you all enjoyed the day 💜🎂.You look beautiful in sunglasses 💜,the pine tree looked beautiful 😍 and everything in this vlog is so exciting 😍.Hope now you will get a chance to relax 🥰😍💜
I love your channel Claire, I also watch rewilding Jude, I look forward to Monday morning to watch you both, I feel we are quite similar, you love crafting and dogs, same here your Tim, loves Vikings we do too and have ancestry back to Eric the Red, on my husbands side, my ancestry is Irish, in your Essex home in one of your videos Tim walked up the stairs to nuzzle George, it got me so emotional, reminded me of my hubby who sadly died last year, Tim looks similar with a goatee and shaved head, only much slimmer, wishing you a fab week ahead xx
Microwave for the tea fill the cup and nuke it in the microwave ,thats what i did when my kettle broke , that back area under the trees sandpit , mud kitchen etc for the kiddos if they are still young they would love it
My birthday is Dec 27th. My friends and family that would give me a birthday card would typically buy them earlier in the year cause it's an absolute nightmare trying to find a birthday card in December. Lol. My mom would just buy a whole bunch of birthday cards and keep a stash of them.
The sunglasses look awesome! With regard to them not fitting, could you try remoulding the bend at the end of the arms so that the bend happens at your ear instead of too far back? I’d use a heat gun on them if it was me, try and fiddle a bit 😂
Hey Claire. Where did you get the sign? My husband is a big Vikings fan und would LOVE the sign so much. Loved your Video ❤. Happy belated birthday to Tim 🥳
Hot water bottles must be a UK thing? Rubber breaks down from heat after awhile and can burst, burn you with the hot water. In the States we have electric heating pads and gel packs you warm up in the microwave to use for discomfort 😛😁
Ahhhh yes I believe they are a Europe thing more so than the Americas - honestly my Grandma had hers for literal years haaaaa I had no idea they have a use by date
I’m going to call you a liar!!! Last mug… right…lol But seriously, those mugs are perfection!! I have a set of dishes that look very similar… Absolutely love them!! Have you thought about planting blue hostas (plantain lillies ) the trees? Any of the blue varieties are shade tolerant… I share your love of pine trees, unfortunately we lost 3 out of 4 in the hurricane…☹️ Thanks for the Netflix recommendations, I needed them… Making tea in a sauce pan, how archaic… 🤣🤣🤣
heyyyy lovely - haaaa yeh I am used to my kettles haaaa - I honestly need to just NOT LOOK at mugs when I go out haaaa it's too much xx lol - Hosta's are unfortunately toxic for Dogs - so I need to find something safe - but I believe they are so great to grow x
GREAT vlog, Claire! LOVED Tim's gorgeous plaque! @ClairesCraftyCorner Just one thing! *DO NOT!!!* remove those tiny branches from that "proper" pine Christmas tree! That is New Growth...let them grow into actual branches! DO remove that adorable, already-sprouted tiny pine (ask a nursery hiw, or your dad, first!), and either plant it in a big container to get it to a bigger size -- OR, search about for a large enough area you can plant it in, without ever needing to move it. It might need to be protected around the roots for Winter while still a baby. Water it in WELL. 😊💕
@ClairesCraftyCorner OOOH! Can you show us how to make wreaths, too??? On your other channel? Please??? Hope you enjoy your class! Oh, wowww. I hadn't heard about the storm? That's terrible! 100 mph...that's slightly over hurricane force! Definitely dangerous. 😵🙏
This was serinipidous - its my birthday today - and im lazing in bed binging fun you tube videos. I watch Live it like lisa too - we share the same wedding anniv - watching someone else clean their beautiful huge house on rural land with ponies - far more interesting than cleaning my own house. OOh, are you guys into VIkings or The Last Kingdom? A day when i feel very ill, weak and tired, but im allowed to be in bed coz its my birthday! We seriously need a live stream vid on endo, etc and other similar conditions - share womens experiences! Would love to know more about your journey.
@@athomewithclaire HAA - Same - I think he may just be my TV husband...everyone thinks its Jamie (Outlander...) but nah...i prefer the raw Viking! Uthred son of Uthred!!
Hahaha so impressed with that Aussie accent!! You sounded like Kylie Minogue in Neighbours! 😂 That cheese hamper is a great idea! I would love something like that!! That will be on my wish list next Christmas!! And that wooden sign is amazing!!! Omg! 😍😍 oh those art and craft classes you’ve been going sound so good! I would totally go with you to them! That new mug was everything!! I too love a big mug!
Love your vlogs!! I'm so homesick this time of year, watching you shop makes me happy.
Lovely vlog ,Ms Claire, enjoyed watching each and every days fun ,be it unboxing of gifts,Tim's bday,shopping or gardening 😅😍😍💜💜
Take your sun glasses and use your heat gun to warm the ends of the arms and you can bend them to fit you. As for trees, we have 5 acres and our mix of trees is a little nutty.

Pretty good Aussie accent you have there Claire. 🦘🐨 So happy George has an advent calendar as well.❤
Thank yoooo Karen xxx
thats a baby tree growing, so at that stage you can transplant it to somewhere else or even a pot to get a Christmas tree 🙂, as always love the video

I just watched Laapataa Ladies and loved it. Thank you for the recommendation
I've been watching Jude since he started at his cottage and previous to that his wool dying videos, love him.x
oh how amazing :) I wonder if Jude's channel was recommended to me because my friends here all watch him - you tube kind of links everyone together xx
Great video Claire wish your husband a happy belated birthday and George is just too cute
Thank yoooo so much xxx
I bet that baby tree is what we call a sucker. It's probably growing out of the roots from the main tree. Beautiful garden. Tim's sign is awesome. Get some sleep.
Happy Birthday to Tim...I just finished The Madness and loved it...Not my usual genre but very good.💛💛
Ohhhh I am glad you loved it - I am only on episode 3 - the heart palpitations are real lol
oh i thought it moved on its own ❤❤❤❤❤❤love you
Happily too far west to be hit by the massive snowstorm! Just winds and rain. I've just finished Madness and it was full of action! Love wreath build, so much fun so enjoy your class!
Ohhhhh you watched the madness ? I am on episode 3 - it is giving me high blood pressure haaaaa I hope it's a happy ending lol x
😂😂Peacocks funny that i got to go back to peacocks tomorrow to take a thermal top back 😂its too big 😂i had fun getting it back in the packet ❤

Hi Claire hope you loved your class, the m&s calendar looks great i got the look fantastic one, i cant watch subtitles as i cant watch something and read at the same time, if im reading i cant take it whats happening, that madness sounds good tho, may try that , thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ xxx
Do you see all that green on that side of your fence? THAT'S mold/moss...DANK...very moist...ferns will appreciate it! Might want to plant them further down towards those willows. Most ferns really don't like hard, direct light.
*Suggestion:* DRIP lines to keep your flowers and trees moist. Ask your dad. Those things are awesome!
ohhhh yes yes totally - the ground towards the field is definitely damp and very boggy right now :) x
Tim's sign is everything. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
Claire it’s 9.05am here in Australia and where we are it’s kinda cool and I still have my pj’s on, comfort plus. You sounded like an Aussie when talking how Lisa would like that perfume.

🥰🤗
The sunglasses look awesome! With regard to them not fitting, could you try remoulding the bend at the end of the arms so that the bend happens at your ear instead of too far back? I’d use a heat gun on them if it was me, try and fiddle a bit 😂
heyyyy lovely - yes I definitely need to try that - I honestly thought I had a big head haaaa but these were designed for an even bigger one lol
Hey Claire. Where did you get the sign? My husband is a big Vikings fan und would LOVE the sign so much. Loved your Video ❤. Happy belated birthday to Tim 🥳
Heyyyy lovely - I had it made by @lothianwoodworks - he is on Instagram and you tube xxx

@ Hostas, really, I had no idea… good to know…. Let’s just say it, we will try to stop looking, but we won’t…🤣 I have the same addiction… lol
GREAT vlog, Claire! LOVED Tim's gorgeous plaque!
