I think Charlie has just a direct way of speaking and I think people in general have a hard time with that and assume it’s always negative where as I think it’s refreshing to have someone who speaks their mind in a respectful way! I appreciate his opinion on things and love his bits throughout the vlogs!
As an American I find it very relatable. People want to understand and be understood in conversations. I am not sure why anyone would have a hard time with that. I find him very respectful and endearing. I appreciate his honest opinion on things it is refreshing! Both Josie and Charlie are refreshing in this way.
Charlie loves to talk a lot so he should get his own You Tube channel to talk about everything he thinks he knows so much about I think? Boy did he take in his screen time here 😳😳
I don’t comment often but really appreciated Charlie’s honesty & transparency here! Just like when talking to a friend, giving advice is not pretending to be an expert, rather sharing what you know and works for you 😊
Thoroughly applaud you both for being so genuine with your opinions when it comes to brands and who is great and who could do with an overhaul! The truth really does set you free… kindest, Francesca
We love ‘Story Time with Charlie’ 😂 in all honesty though, it’s so refreshing hearing people talking honestly and openly about topics such as the ones over the last few videos. I think it’s really important we have these discussions, even if we don’t all agree. And I don’t really wear dresses but I’m so tempted to try a jumper dress now!! 🤎 the one at the beginning and the white one are stunning!!
Maybe let's not throw in comments like "as a nation we are overdosing on protein". Overdosing, really? Very strong use of words there. Where's the proof? Don't need to take everything Tim Spector says as gospel, he's not a nutritionist/nutritional therapist.
And I'd love to taste it, especially a Daylesford rib of beef! I often watch while I'm preparing our Sunday roast, perfect end to a weekend. Brown silk trousers are gorgeous but personally I'd like them less wide leg as you're only petite. Liked the HC jumper dress but none of the shorter ones not because of the length but the shape or lack of it.
Hi Joise. I've been following your channel for many years and I love that Charlie has a "bigger role" on the channel now, he brings something else to the channel and I love how the two of you balance each other out. I know his views sometimes divide the opinions of your subscribers but I think you're both right about that this is your channel and it feels much more like a "real friendship" rather than a one hour advert when you share your honest opinions. So happy for you two and the journey you have been on since buying the house :)
100% agree. Companies that deliver poor customer service should be called out just as good companies are. Your honesty and authenticity is why I watch! At the end of the day it is your experience and your opinion. X
I love vlogs that have you both sharing your perspective. I love Charlie’s thoughtful and diplomatic consideration of all subjects. He is always polite, discreet and wonderfully direct. You two are simply lovely together. ❤❤
How refreshing to hear Charlie’s comments on products being presented on your videos! As said it is your video and you have every right to voice your opinions, experiences and thoughts!!
Bravo Charlie…. Sadly we live in a world where people are too afraid to have an opinion. I respect both of you for being honest and real! No apology is needed! 😊
Charlie is quite polite even when he isn’t necessarily on board with something. People are just too sensitive and cannot take constructive criticism even if it’s going to help in the long run. It’s ok Charlie. Lots of Love from California ❤
It's good to know not everyone wants to live in a "woke" world. As you say it's interesting to hear different opinions and ideas as long as they're expressed respectfully😊
Love, love, love these chatty discussions with you and Charlie, about health, food, vitamins, finances, everything that is usual in all our lives. And other people's tips on these subjects are great, this is how we learn, from others experiences. More of these debates for me please Josie! 🙏 so interesting! 😃 x 😚
Please remember that investing in something that is overall cheaper in the long run, is not something that is accessible to everyone. Not everyone is able to stock up on expensive vitamins or products. Yes, although lemsip and own-brand versions are a 'horrible cure', sometimes this is all someone may have financial access to. People can work hard and still financially struggle.
I appreciate when you talk about and share the behind the scenes sometimes, because it shows that you are human and it gives me and I am sure others a chance to see what you actually have to do, to make your life look so perfect. Thank you for what you offer, because I know you work hard.
Hi Josie ❤️ try a icecream scoop to portion your cookies much easier than a spoon and always rifrigerate dough with lots of butter and sugar in it. Bythe way you should cream your Butter and sugar with a whisk before adding the other ingridients....i whish you good baking 😊 Lots of Love from Switzerland Jenny
I love Charlie's perspective on supplements! It's so important to research into what we are taking and why, but also to source accordingly. It all adds up and makes a difference to our health, but also on our wallets, as we want to ensure we are spending wisely in that regard too. And when it comes to higher quality or organic food I personally think it is so so worth the "sacrifice" of giving up unhealthy or more processed foods, as I feel they taste better and leave me feeling more satiated longer. Never mind that once you do give up buying unhealthy or processed foods, it leaves more room in the budget for higher quality items.
Another fantastic story time with Charlie and Josie. I’ve learned so much, thanks for sharing your views and information. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to share your company dislikes or company’s that don’t have good customer service. Things are so expensive now days and people are watching their penny’s. Glad you’ve chosen the lighter green arga it’s going to look so nice and warming. Josie the pumpkin apples burnt as you put the cinnamon sugar on them. Cook first then sprinkle with the sugar as they come out of the oven. You and Charlie most definitely need to do a joint cook book. I’m disabled and cannot stand anymore to bake like I used to but I still love watching you bake and cook. If I had a therma mix I think I might be able to manage baking. Maybe I should save and invest. You have definitely made me think about products I use and made me look at ingredients more. I used lots of rap seed oil and oat milk. I don’t anymore. I also make sure every night I do a full skincare routine. At 52 I’ve always moisturised twice daily but now I do serums and eye gels to. Didn’t realise how my skin is begging for moisture. Happy Halloween guys. Xx
Oh Charlie that would be wonderful if you could cook and share it with us. I love the chats with Charlie with you. I think you both are amazing. I have benefite so much from you and Charlie. I have been fighting cancer and you both have helped me get through it. Bless your hearts. I love you both lots xx❤❤
Oh & I add a sprinkle of turmeric to my dogs food (1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon for every 10 pounds of dogs weight per day) to help her joints as she’s ageing ☺️🐾💕
While blood tests can show if you're deficient in vitamins and minerals, they are only a snapshot of a moment in time. And it's important to note that you should never exceed recomended daily doses, as you can poison yourself with potentially serious repercussions. I'm lucky that I don't get SADS or lower energy levels in winter, and working in a hospital I rarely get ill (I put that down to continuous exposure to different virus's etc, building my immunity). As far and fruit and veg goes, I pretty much only buy local as there are more restrictions as to farming chemicals in Denmark than there are in europe generally, apart from the fact that food tastes better when it hasnt travelled far. While there are still differing opinions as to whether organic food is more nutritious, and I do think cutting out chemicals, including most perfumes (including scented candles and scented detergents) is a more cost effective way of boosting our health. Taxing unhealthy food isn't as easy as it sounds unless a very expensive case by case assessment is made (and new products needing an assessment going forward). It was tried in Denmark several years ago, and some healthy foods ended being affected, while some unhealthy foods didn't get taxed. What did happen was that food prices went up and didn't go noticeably down once the tax was scrapped.
Very interesting points. I'm trying to source pure candles as we like to light up when it's getting dark in the UK. They are more expensive but I guess worth it on the health front. Regards Rosie O from Devon England x 👌🇬🇧
You are right, blood tests are the snapshot in a moment in time. To what I understand - blood tests can not check vitamins and minerals in the body tissues, just in blood itself.
Agree wholly. I think we also need to remember that most of these vitamins are woefully low in their actual delivered dosage at cellular level. We also need to remember that as robust as Tim Specters work is he also selling a very expensive product so there will always be bias and a financial incentive to sell your product regardless. Relentless Blood tests can also create a new group of worried well... believe me I work and live in this space every day.
Charlie and Josie❤you two are fabulous! Yes, with so many subscribers Charlie you two do have a huge job steering young people your age into clean living, right priorities etc good job👍💜love from California
My favorite vlogs are the ones that always include the most content with Charlie! I love how diplomatically direct he is. His knowledge on so many subjects is dead on. Great OOTD’s! Cooking! Gardening! He is real, no pretentious with Charlie! The majority of the people I know watch this vlog because of him. 👍
I always enjoy when you both share what you are interested in at the time❤❤It's always interesting to learn from people and hear their opinions. And I think your cooking and baking are marvelous!!!! You always inspire me to get up and bake something lovely myself.😊
I loved listening to you and Charlie chatting in the kitchen and I do appreciate your honesty. Of the jumper dresses I’ll be honest the last one suited you the best particularly teamed with the brown belt. The others were either not the right cut or color for you. Inspired to try a turmeric latte although it’s Spring here in Oz . My daughter makes American style choc chip cookies and she says you must follow recipes precisely as baking is such an exact Science and doing smaller scoops using an ice cream scoop onto parchment over a couple or more trays and refrigerate the cookie dough prior to cooking. I ❤️ your vlogs 😊 🇦🇺
Josie, I started using wild nutrition, based on your recommendation, I bought the iron plus, vit d and the protein powder and so far very pleased. Will definitely be my source now for supplements
Charlie shared his experience….no need for an apology! I’m so confused as to why some others feel so upset by his comments regarding his own personal experience.
Your kitchen seems quite dark. Does it face North? Won’t dark counter tops and a dark Aga reflect even less light? Planning to improve the ceiling lighting?
Josie im watching video and my dog and 2 cats are all curled up so relaxed. Like me they seem to love listening to your soothing voice ❤ Love your videos 💗
Is there a scientific proper research paper that informed you about body recognising supplements and absorbing them all, please? The phrase expensive wee relates to body eliminating via wee excess of vitamins that is above what body needs.
I am here for Josie , I like her cooking and fashion . Charlie loves the sound of his own voice and he isnt a healthcare professional so always consult your own doctor rather than take opinions off a platform , do your own research ! Look most young people these days cant afford an ARGA with mortgages going up £400 a month on a loan of only £300 k add that to childcare costs in an economic downturn is not viable . The young people I know your age all have degrees at a doctorate level and have good jobs and they are struggling , think they should all just become influencers as it seems better paid ! find it hard to look up to any footballers especially the likes of Beckman and Rooney , however I look up to a dad I know looking after his handicapped son .
Yes, Charlie really does love the sound of his own voice wow and he can go on and on. He just does not have an off switch. I don’t mind that he’s sprinkled into the shows here and there obviously he’s part of Josie‘s life and it’s very charming that she includes her husband, but he talks about. We built this and we and R and we and I understand that they are together, but Josie created this Channel and it is successful because of her and I’ve been watching it for years because I get ideas that I would’ve never tried before. It began with fashion. It began with looking and dressing smarter more chic more expensive looks without breaking the bank, and it just grew and grew and Sometimes I feel like I’m talking to a friend or a friend is talking to me and giving a very informative opinion with the reasoning behind it when I speak to Josie. And I’m not speaking to Joseph of course, but that’s what it feels like so I really enjoy her channel. I really enjoy her Vlogs. I watch them all the time. I’ve watched them for years, but when there’s too much of Charlie or too much of her friends kind of pushing their faces in the camera I’m not trying to sound disrespectful or rude or mean, I shut it off because it’s not really them their advice or their opinions that I wanna hear or see and it’s not their faces in their camera that I’m anxious to watch. It’s Josie’s recommendations for outfits jumpers here in United States, sweaters, boots, shoes, coats, jewelry, different types of recipes different type of pastry, desserts, as she tries gardening herbs that she grows. I’ve gotten a little bit braver with some of the things that I plant in my garden or some of the things that I make as far as pastries and desserts some of the teas that I try because of Josie, I watch her doing them and I think I think I would like that. I might tweak it a bit to fit more my taste, but I give it a try. I give a lot of things a try ultimately though I wanna hear Josie and her opinion, it’s she that has gained credibility and the trust of the people that watch her of her audience not Charlie and not her friends. No offense Charlie or her friends meant, but we’re not here to see or hear them. It’s really Josie and her advice and opinions, unboxing, and recommendations that were here for.
Sorry for some of the grammatical errors, but I was doing text to talk on my phone. But you get the gist. Anyway, thank you Josie for all your advice over the years you excellent opinions, informative opinions. And some of the chuckles you’ve given us. You’re down to earth real attempts at different projects and recipes. Some successes, some learning experiences. But we learned along with you. Thank you for all that. One of your loyal, Vlog watchers. Renee Ciddio. From Las Vegas New Mexico USA
Your health chats are always enjoyable as neither of you claim to be experts, you’re simply sharing your knowledge and personal experience honestly in real time. My four “round table” guests would be, Dr Christiane Northrup author of women’s bodies, women’s wisdom; a leader and pioneer in women’s health. Nigella Lawson, not that her recipes are always healthy, but I adore the way she speaks and writes about food! Dr Gabor Mate to cover mental health issues and Julius Roberts to chat farming, cooking and wholesome living!
Love that you grow your own vegetables I know you have saved a lot of money by doing it and eating your vegetables so you are doing better than a lot of people in the city but saving money. I think you do very well and are in touch with society in the pros price of things, because you have a very big garden and you save a lot of money in the summer and going on into the winter because you freeze freeze and put food up in the freezer to save.
Oooww Charlie what an excellent idea!!! 🤩 cooking healthy on a budget!!! THAT would be a book, boost your viewing numbers? One of my most used cookbooks is Delias cheats book? A value, healthy meal planning book you both need to do it!!! We are still going with Hello Fresh by the way! 😊
Hi Josie, brown is definitely your color! You look good in everything but, I loved dress #3, & the white dress & of course the faux fur vest is superb! Have you ever thought of writing a cookbook/gardening book? I for one, would buy it😊
Loving your ginger tumeric latte. I actually chop and blend fresh ginger with tumeric and splash of water to help with blending. I then sieve out the mush and pour the juice into an ice cube tray. Add frozen cubes to hot water for a tea or add to smoothie. Delicious x
I went on the Tusting website and they have a mini crossbody bag that I am now a bit obsessed with, they have it in a gorgeous green and a stunning "pecan" colour....sooooo pretty! I loved the aga versus the other company discussion, Personally, I appreciate your honest opinion about your experience with any brand...shows your authenticity when you can share the negative or positive experience!!
I 💯 absolutely appreciate both you Charlie’s options as I know you have done the research and would never recommend products/companies that you both don’t 💯 believe in. I am always learning and appreciate your opinions.
I love the darker days but we have had lots of sun with it and the rain was so much needed after none during Summer. Glad you took a day off. Soup making is so much fun this time of year and roasting vegs in the oven gives such a lovely sweet flavour. I have squash, pumpkin and swede waiting for soup and then there is Halloween and will have to get the sweets ready for that. Beautiful Autumn. Wellie walking weather with the change of the colours and the fall of the leaves so gorgeous.
Josie your skin looks beautiful after your skin peel- I always enjoying hearing yours & Charlie’s conversation- actually it makes me laugh when you try to move on in the conversation & Charlie still has more to say - your expression says it all 😂- I can so relate - I love when Charlie joins in bc what he shares is always informative based on your experiences -
Just a heads up on the ashwagandha, i was also taking this supplement but was making my anxiety worse because i wasn't taking it right. My best friend is a nurse and she told me that ashwagandha should only be taken for a couple of weeks and then take a couple weeks of a break and then go back on it and repeat.
Josie, ive said it a hundred times, and will say it again….. you look so classy and elegant in pants/ trousers😊 and you that lily silk pants is everything 🥰🥰 I’m just dreading for summer to come, where you’ll go back to wearing those over voluminous dresses😞
You are so painstaking with the apple and pastry dish. I was amazed as I have never seen that before and I usually only do baked apples with brown sugar and sultanas at the core and they puff up beautifully - always amazes me. Rice pudding home made is the best too with cinnamon sprinkled on top. It is also custard time - what could be better?
Hi Josie ! Can you please explain very well what procedure you did to your upper lip and if when you go to your Dr to do it can you film it . I want to do it to my lips but I don’t know what is it call to tell the Dr . And it look so pretty . Your lips look great . You look great all around .
Josie I do that all the time - keep left over vegs as the base for my soup and great way of not wasting. The chat you and Charlie had was lovely and I am so into health (always have been). Nutrition has been an interest of mine as my mother followed a Swiss nutritionist called Gayelord Hauser and I even make my own herbal teas. Zinc and turmeric and eggs etc and fish all help our bodies as do the olive oils, eve primrose, cod liver and krill. As for eating healthily some organic mixed in with non works and I always wash everything I buy.
Well actually… Charlie was right !? 😅 you all are always sooo positive! I think it’s cool you speak truthfully when needed…I would love a dark green aga though 💭
You know it is autumn when dear Josie shows us the warm cozy house at costwalds ❤ sorry if I spelled the region wrong ❤ greetings from Greece ❤🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 all these years I am growing and learing all the best tips for everything from you, thank you ❤❤😘😘
totally agree with Charlie on eating more veg and looking for local fresh produce. In season produce is usually cheaper and small meals also help health and the environment 😊 in Asia the meal sizes are half or smaller than in the western countries 😮 love the chats on food, nutrition and finances - thank you both
I love the idea of doing some affordable meals with you and Charlie that are Tim Spector approved - sign me up! Also, if you put up a petition for the BBC to get this Round Table with Charlie Irons idea some traction, I think the support from the community here will pretty much see it done! Exceptional vlog, as always.
I live in the US but am a huge fan of Tusting! I have a few pieces and all are classic, timeless, and gorgeous. I'm so excited to see Tusting bags in your video!
I froth my maple syrup and vanilla paste in the frother with the milk! Add the milk into the frother first. I think it’s kind of a game changer! Make sure to wash the frother right away so the maple syrup doesn’t gunk-up any of the frothing equipment.
Bless you worried about your baking - I am sure everyone will absolutely love them and the cookies looked adorable in their box with those pretty little fabric pumpkins. You make an effort for your friends and that is amazing. The cookies and the doughnuts will be amazing and lucky friends is all I can say. Cinnamon sugar too is a great idea and the smell is the thing and of course the taste.
You are the most consistent vlogger I think !! I love your content, cannot explain: you and your Cotswolds fairytale just became part of my routine I guess 🥰🥰🥰
To make the turmeric beneficial for you, add a dash of black pepper. It makes you absorb the goodness of turmeric. It's the same as having vitamin D to absorb all the calcium in milk
Charlie no one is overdosing on Vit D as no one can possibly get it from the Sun in this country. In fact Vit D amounts are always underestimated. Darker skins need more. For every thousand IU’s of Vit D you need 100 k2. Also need zinc and magnesium to absorb the Vit D. Also you should be taking Vit D3 and not just a Vit D.
Agree w you. There is so much more science involved in taking Vit D3 (and vit D) that just going into shop and buying any of the vit D suplements is just bonkers. People can overdose on Vit D, can take more of D3 but sadly unless you have professional advice on how to take D3 and with what and how much you can end up with serious health issue. Vit D3 saps calcium from blood, and that spells disaster if you do not know about it.
You are correct about vitamin D3, taken along with K2. There are some consequences when K2 is not taken, unless you eat a lot of fermented foods. One can safely take 5,000 of D3 with 100mcg K2. I have one supplement that is a combo of those numbers.
I really like your vlogs❤ when it comes to baking, you really have to follow the recipe or the consistency will not be right. Also I have noticed you sometimes shap out sugar for eg. coconut sugar. This will change the consistency because all types of sugar, flour eg. does not absorb liquid in the same way. And when you measure you really have to be presise. Sometimes I can see that you add a completely different amount than what you say you are going to add.😅 You got this!❤😂 love from Norway!
Coffee and caffeinated tea blocks the absorption of nutrients so if you're taking them around coffee you're probably not getting much out of your supplements
ooooh my... Dexter❤ kills me with that look, so cute. I still haven't given up hope of being the first Portuguese to have an Aga😊, and when that happens I'm going to sleep next to the stove for a long time with great joy. That's why I love your channel, you show who you are with class and without exhibitionism and humility and I love hearing Charlie's opinion, they say there are no princes but with all due respect, Josie, you found yourself one and I'm happy for you because you are also a princess without a shadow of a doubt.
Josie do love you with straight hair and so much better for it. You and Charlie together works so well. Still want to see the garden. My daffodils and bulbs coming up - they are so confused. I buy in February also and they do well.
hi Josie, having watched a lot of USA cooking shows...they use an ice cream scoop- to make the cookies(Ina Garten) ... thus making a standard size "cookie" love from Cornwall xx
I think Charlie has just a direct way of speaking and I think people in general have a hard time with that and assume it’s always negative where as I think it’s refreshing to have someone who speaks their mind in a respectful way!

Honestly is ALWAYS the best policy. You tell us not to waste our money when you are not happy with what’s happened to you. You go Josie & Charlie. Xxx
I would love to see Charlie do a step by step tutorial of his Sunday roast. It looks so delicious.
And I'd love to taste it, especially a Daylesford rib of beef! I often watch while I'm preparing our Sunday roast, perfect end to a weekend. Brown silk trousers are gorgeous but personally I'd like them less wide leg as you're only petite. Liked the HC jumper dress but none of the shorter ones not because of the length but the shape or lack of it.

Josie- I think you and Charlie are lovely- thank you for sharing so many wonderful suggestions. We really enjoy your vlogs!
I'm slowly going through your vlogs. I love Charlie's chats
Did you ever do the Zoe healthy study? I know you were talking about it and showing the kit. Would be interested to find out what you thought.
Me too.
Hear hear!! Spot on Charlie!! Authenticity is the key and you and Josie are! Excited for the rest of the journey!❤
Love, love, love these chatty discussions with you and Charlie, about health, food, vitamins, finances, everything that is usual in all our lives.

When Charlie runs with an idea.. one day he will keep going and find his “ thing” so creative and imaginative that brain of yours Charlie 😊

Josie your dentist did a fantastic job, I worked for a dentist a few years and he was very picky. I like that.
Oh Charlie that would be wonderful if you could cook and share it with us. I love the chats with Charlie with you. I think you both are amazing. I have benefite so much from you and Charlie.
I have been fighting cancer and you both have helped me get through it. Bless your hearts. I love you both lots xx❤❤
Thank you for another fabulous vlog. Its great when you and Charlie chat together. A monthly kitchen vlog with you both would be great 💯
I could listen to you guys talk about anything and everything!!!! Love that you share so much!!!! ❤
Thank you Josie and Charlie for the info and the baking tips, another wonderful blog. xx
Oh & I add a sprinkle of turmeric to my dogs food (1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon for every 10 pounds of dogs weight per day) to help her joints as she’s ageing ☺️🐾💕

While blood tests can show if you're deficient in vitamins and minerals, they are only a snapshot of a moment in time. And it's important to note that you should never exceed recomended daily doses, as you can poison yourself with potentially serious repercussions.
I'm lucky that I don't get SADS or lower energy levels in winter, and working in a hospital I rarely get ill (I put that down to continuous exposure to different virus's etc, building my immunity).
As far and fruit and veg goes, I pretty much only buy local as there are more restrictions as to farming chemicals in Denmark than there are in europe generally, apart from the fact that food tastes better when it hasnt travelled far. While there are still differing opinions as to whether organic food is more nutritious, and I do think cutting out chemicals, including most perfumes (including scented candles and scented detergents) is a more cost effective way of boosting our health.
Taxing unhealthy food isn't as easy as it sounds unless a very expensive case by case assessment is made (and new products needing an assessment going forward). It was tried in Denmark several years ago, and some healthy foods ended being affected, while some unhealthy foods didn't get taxed. What did happen was that food prices went up and didn't go noticeably down once the tax was scrapped.
Facts right here.
Very interesting points. I'm trying to source pure candles as we like to light up when it's getting dark in the UK. They are more expensive but I guess worth it on the health front. Regards Rosie O from Devon England x 👌🇬🇧
You are right, blood tests are the snapshot in a moment in time. To what I understand - blood tests can not check vitamins and minerals in the body tissues, just in blood itself.
Agree wholly. I think we also need to remember that most of these vitamins are woefully low in their actual delivered dosage at cellular level. We also need to remember that as robust as Tim Specters work is he also selling a very expensive product so there will always be bias and a financial incentive to sell your product regardless. Relentless Blood tests can also create a new group of worried well... believe me I work and live in this space every day.
Charlie and Josie❤you two are fabulous! Yes, with so many subscribers Charlie you two do have a huge job steering young people your age into clean living, right priorities etc good job👍💜love from California
My favorite vlogs are the ones that always include the most content with Charlie! I love how diplomatically direct he is. His knowledge on so many subjects is dead on.
Great OOTD’s! Cooking! Gardening! He is real, no pretentious with Charlie! The majority of the people I know watch this vlog because of him. 👍
I always enjoy when you both share what you are interested in at the time❤❤It's always interesting to learn from people and hear their opinions. And I think your cooking and baking are marvelous!!!! You always inspire me to get up and bake something lovely myself.😊
Love these wholesome autumnal vlogs 😊😉
I loved listening to you and Charlie chatting in the kitchen and I do appreciate your honesty. Of the jumper dresses I’ll be honest the last one suited you the best particularly teamed with the brown belt. The others were either not the right cut or color for you. Inspired to try a turmeric latte although it’s Spring here in Oz . My daughter makes American style choc chip cookies and she says you must follow recipes precisely as baking is such an exact Science and doing smaller scoops using an ice cream scoop onto parchment over a couple or more trays and refrigerate the cookie dough prior to cooking. I ❤️ your vlogs 😊 🇦🇺
Josie, I started using wild nutrition, based on your recommendation, I bought the iron plus, vit d and the protein powder and so far very pleased. Will definitely be my source now for supplements
Exactly Charlie… I watch your channel because it is authentic.
I would love to watch Charlies channel. where do I find him?
Love yours and Charlie’s chats. 🥰
Charlie shared his experience….no need for an apology! I’m so confused as to why some others feel so upset by his comments regarding his own personal experience.
Your kitchen seems quite dark. Does it face North? Won’t dark counter tops and a dark Aga reflect even less light? Planning to improve the ceiling lighting?
Yes it does!
Josie im watching video and my dog and 2 cats are all curled up so relaxed. Like me they seem to love listening to your soothing voice ❤ Love your videos 💗
Vlogmass is never boring 😂😂😂😂😂 - I can’t wait ❤
Is there a scientific proper research paper that informed you about body recognising supplements and absorbing them all, please? The phrase expensive wee relates to body eliminating via wee excess of vitamins that is above what body needs.
I am here for Josie , I like her cooking and fashion . Charlie loves the sound of his own voice and he isnt a healthcare professional so always consult your own doctor rather than take opinions off a platform , do your own research ! Look most young people these days cant afford an ARGA with mortgages going up £400 a month on a loan of only £300 k add that to childcare costs in an economic downturn is not viable . The young people I know your age all have degrees at a doctorate level and have good jobs and they are struggling , think they should all just become influencers as it seems better paid ! find it hard to look up to any footballers especially the likes of Beckman and Rooney , however I look up to a dad I know looking after his handicapped son .
Yes, Charlie really does love the sound of his own voice wow and he can go on and on. He just does not have an off switch. I don’t mind that he’s sprinkled into the shows here and there obviously he’s part of Josie‘s life and it’s very charming that she includes her husband, but he talks about. We built this and we and R and we and I understand that they are together, but Josie created this Channel and it is successful because of her and I’ve been watching it for years because I get ideas that I would’ve never tried before. It began with fashion. It began with looking and dressing smarter more chic more expensive looks without breaking the bank, and it just grew and grew and Sometimes I feel like I’m talking to a friend or a friend is talking to me and giving a very informative opinion with the reasoning behind it when I speak to Josie. And I’m not speaking to Joseph of course, but that’s what it feels like so I really enjoy her channel. I really enjoy her Vlogs. I watch them all the time. I’ve watched them for years, but when there’s too much of Charlie or too much of her friends kind of pushing their faces in the camera I’m not trying to sound disrespectful or rude or mean, I shut it off because it’s not really them their advice or their opinions that I wanna hear or see and it’s not their faces in their camera that I’m anxious to watch. It’s Josie’s recommendations for outfits jumpers here in United States, sweaters, boots, shoes, coats, jewelry, different types of recipes different type of pastry, desserts, as she tries gardening herbs that she grows. I’ve gotten a little bit braver with some of the things that I plant in my garden or some of the things that I make as far as pastries and desserts some of the teas that I try because of Josie, I watch her doing them and I think I think I would like that. I might tweak it a bit to fit more my taste, but I give it a try. I give a lot of things a try ultimately though I wanna hear Josie and her opinion, it’s she that has gained credibility and the trust of the people that watch her of her audience not Charlie and not her friends. No offense Charlie or her friends meant, but we’re not here to see or hear them. It’s really Josie and her advice and opinions, unboxing, and recommendations that were here for.
Sorry for some of the grammatical errors, but I was doing text to talk on my phone. But you get the gist. Anyway, thank you Josie for all your advice over the years you excellent opinions, informative opinions. And some of the chuckles you’ve given us. You’re down to earth real attempts at different projects and recipes. Some successes, some learning experiences. But we learned along with you. Thank you for all that. One of your loyal, Vlog watchers. Renee Ciddio. From Las Vegas New Mexico USA
Your health chats are always enjoyable as neither of you claim to be experts, you’re simply sharing your knowledge and personal experience honestly in real time. My four “round table” guests would be, Dr Christiane Northrup author of women’s bodies, women’s wisdom; a leader and pioneer in women’s health. Nigella Lawson, not that her recipes are always healthy, but I adore the way she speaks and writes about food! Dr Gabor Mate to cover mental health issues and Julius Roberts to chat farming, cooking and wholesome living!
Love that you grow your own vegetables I know you have saved a lot of money by doing it and eating your vegetables so you are doing better than a lot of people in the city but saving money. I think you do very well and are in touch with society in the pros price of things, because you have a very big garden and you save a lot of money in the summer and going on into the winter because you freeze freeze and put food up in the freezer to save.
Oooww Charlie what an excellent idea!!! 🤩 cooking healthy on a budget!!! THAT would be a book, boost your viewing numbers? One of my most used cookbooks is Delias cheats book? A value, healthy meal planning book you both need to do it!!! We are still going with Hello Fresh by the way! 😊
Hi Josie, brown is definitely your color! You look good in everything but, I loved dress #3, & the white dress & of course the faux fur vest is superb! Have you ever thought of writing a cookbook/gardening book? I for one, would buy it😊
Loving your ginger tumeric latte. I actually chop and blend fresh ginger with tumeric and splash of water to help with blending. I then sieve out the mush and pour the juice into an ice cube tray. Add frozen cubes to hot water for a tea or add to smoothie. Delicious x
I went on the Tusting website and they have a mini crossbody bag that I am now a bit obsessed with, they have it in a gorgeous green and a stunning "pecan" colour....sooooo pretty! I loved the aga versus the other company discussion, Personally, I appreciate your honest opinion about your experience with any brand...shows your authenticity when you can share the negative or positive experience!!
Love, love, love you guys!!❤
I 💯 absolutely appreciate both you Charlie’s options as I know you have done the research and would never recommend products/companies that you both don’t 💯 believe in. I am always learning and appreciate your opinions.
Yay! Josie followed the recipe and the cookies turned out perfectly 👏
I love Charlie. Always makes sense and always just productive. I want to know the brand of your green sage cookware (eggs)
And think it’s ‘our place’ 💜
I love the darker days but we have had lots of sun with it and the rain was so much needed after none during Summer. Glad you took a day off. Soup making is so much fun this time of year and roasting vegs in the oven gives such a lovely sweet flavour. I have squash, pumpkin and swede waiting for soup and then there is Halloween and will have to get the sweets ready for that. Beautiful Autumn. Wellie walking weather with the change of the colours and the fall of the leaves so gorgeous.
Josie your skin looks beautiful after your skin peel- I always enjoying hearing yours & Charlie’s conversation- actually it makes me laugh when you try to move on in the conversation & Charlie still has more to say - your expression says it all 😂- I can so relate - I love when Charlie joins in bc what he shares is always informative based on your experiences -
Just a heads up on the ashwagandha, i was also taking this supplement but was making my anxiety worse because i wasn't taking it right. My best friend is a nurse and she told me that ashwagandha should only be taken for a couple of weeks and then take a couple weeks of a break and then go back on it and repeat.
I’m a registered nurse and it actually can be very liver toxic . Not all ‘natural things ‘ are healthy
Josie, ive said it a hundred times, and will say it again….. you look so classy and elegant in pants/ trousers😊 and you that lily silk pants is everything 🥰🥰
I’m just dreading for summer to come, where you’ll go back to wearing those over voluminous dresses😞
Love starting my day with your videos ❤
You are so painstaking with the apple and pastry dish. I was amazed as I have never seen that before and I usually only do baked apples with brown sugar and sultanas at the core and they puff up beautifully - always amazes me. Rice pudding home made is the best too with cinnamon sprinkled on top. It is also custard time - what could be better?
Hi Josie !
Can you please explain very well what procedure you did to your upper lip and if when you go to your Dr to do it can you film it . I want to do it to my lips but I don’t know what is it call to tell the Dr . And it look so pretty . Your lips look great . You look great all around .
Josie I do that all the time - keep left over vegs as the base for my soup and great way of not wasting. The chat you and Charlie had was lovely and I am so into health (always have been). Nutrition has been an interest of mine as my mother followed a Swiss nutritionist called Gayelord Hauser and I even make my own herbal teas. Zinc and turmeric and eggs etc and fish all help our bodies as do the olive oils, eve primrose, cod liver and krill. As for eating healthily some organic mixed in with non works and I always wash everything I buy.
Love the green decision kids. Also, as you’re my fav folks to follow, I truly appreciate your honest and sincere sharing. 💟
Men aways think they are right never take. Any supplements in my life and still don’t waist of money ❤
Yes, invite Tim Spector for one of your Sunday roasts! 😃 There would be amazing conversations from all of you! x 😚
Well actually… Charlie was right !? 😅 you all are always sooo positive! I think it’s cool you speak truthfully when needed…I would love a dark green aga though 💭
You know it is autumn when dear Josie shows us the warm cozy house at costwalds ❤ sorry if I spelled the region wrong ❤ greetings from Greece ❤🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 all these years I am growing and learing all the best tips for everything from you, thank you ❤❤😘😘
Commenting for the algorithm. Loved this vlog!
totally agree with Charlie on eating more veg and looking for local fresh produce. In season produce is usually cheaper and small meals also help health and the environment 😊 in Asia the meal sizes are half or smaller than in the western countries 😮 love the chats on food, nutrition and finances - thank you both
I love the idea of doing some affordable meals with you and Charlie that are Tim Spector approved - sign me up! Also, if you put up a petition for the BBC to get this Round Table with Charlie Irons idea some traction, I think the support from the community here will pretty much see it done! Exceptional vlog, as always.
I live in the US but am a huge fan of Tusting! I have a few pieces and all are classic, timeless, and gorgeous. I'm so excited to see Tusting bags in your video!
A little tip in regards to turmeric, always add a sprinkle of black pepper it helps your body absorb tumeric better ❤
I froth my maple syrup and vanilla paste in the frother with the milk! Add the milk into the frother first. I think it’s kind of a game changer! Make sure to wash the frother right away so the maple syrup doesn’t gunk-up any of the frothing equipment.
Insulin bomb!! Start the blood sugar roller coaster for the day!! Way to go.
Bless you worried about your baking - I am sure everyone will absolutely love them and the cookies looked adorable in their box with those pretty little fabric pumpkins. You make an effort for your friends and that is amazing. The cookies and the doughnuts will be amazing and lucky friends is all I can say. Cinnamon sugar too is a great idea and the smell is the thing and of course the taste.
May I suggest you add a bit of black pepper to your turmeric. It helps the turmeric to work in your body.
You are the most consistent vlogger I think !! I love your content, cannot explain: you and your Cotswolds fairytale just became part of my routine I guess 🥰🥰🥰
You look fantastic in that first brown dress Josie! The color is so lovely.
To make the turmeric beneficial for you, add a dash of black pepper. It makes you absorb the goodness of turmeric. It's the same as having vitamin D to absorb all the calcium in milk
JOSIE made the channel successful.
Charlie no one is overdosing on Vit D as no one can possibly get it from the Sun in this country. In fact Vit D amounts are always underestimated. Darker skins need more. For every thousand IU’s of Vit D you need 100 k2. Also need zinc and magnesium to absorb the Vit D. Also you should be taking Vit D3 and not just a Vit D.
Agree w you. There is so much more science involved in taking Vit D3 (and vit D) that just going into shop and buying any of the vit D suplements is just bonkers. People can overdose on Vit D, can take more of D3 but sadly unless you have professional advice on how to take D3 and with what and how much you can end up with serious health issue. Vit D3 saps calcium from blood, and that spells disaster if you do not know about it.
You are correct about vitamin D3, taken along with K2. There are some consequences when K2 is not taken, unless you eat a lot of fermented foods. One can safely take 5,000 of D3 with 100mcg K2. I have one supplement that is a combo of those numbers.
NICE guidelines very clear about Vit D supplementation and wholly agree with this!..
It's nice to hear when a man admits he's been wrong, Charlie is a smart and opinionated man ❤😊
I really like your vlogs❤ when it comes to baking, you really have to follow the recipe or the consistency will not be right. Also I have noticed you sometimes shap out sugar for eg. coconut sugar. This will change the consistency because all types of sugar, flour eg. does not absorb liquid in the same way. And when you measure you really have to be presise. Sometimes I can see that you add a completely different amount than what you say you are going to add.😅 You got this!❤😂 love from Norway!
Love the Tusting bags, so beautiful!
I really enjoy your vlog guys
Loved the vlog . Baking is always trail and error and practice makes perfect. Your cookies looked delicious. Loved your haul ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
Coffee and caffeinated tea blocks the absorption of nutrients so if you're taking them around coffee you're probably not getting much out of your supplements
Loved this vlog - Preach!! 🙌 Also love your & Other Stories dress Josie. Added to my wishlist 🤍
A spice is from a seed or pod, an herb is from something leafy.
Josie you and Charlie are adorable.
Can’t wait to see the kitchen changes 😊
ooooh my... Dexter❤ kills me with that look, so cute.
I still haven't given up hope of being the first Portuguese to have an Aga😊, and when that happens I'm going to sleep next to the stove for a long time with great joy.
That's why I love your channel, you show who you are with class and without exhibitionism and humility and I love hearing Charlie's opinion, they say there are no princes but with all due respect, Josie, you found yourself one and I'm happy for you because you are also a princess without a shadow of a doubt.
Hi Josie ! I love watching your vlogs , and also I love you fashion style🥰
Josie do love you with straight hair and so much better for it. You and Charlie together works so well. Still want to see the garden. My daffodils and bulbs coming up - they are so confused. I buy in February also and they do well.
hi Josie, having watched a lot of USA cooking shows...they use an ice cream scoop- to make the cookies(Ina Garten) ... thus making a standard size "cookie" love from Cornwall xx
