A truly lovely vlog! I am so looking forward to trying your recipe for Mincemeat Cake! I love a Mincemeat Pie, but this sounds delightful! Thank you for sharing the recipe and tip about the fruit addition midway through baking. I also think the fabric wrapping was fabulous! I like the unique look it gives and the addition of some embellishments is so clever too. The students who had you as a teacher were very lucky.
@@adventuresforthecurious Ahhh this is a lovely comment to read! Thanks so much for taking the time to write to me. Oh yes, you must try the mincemeat loaf cake, it is delicious. Fabric gift wrap is so easy and effective. How are your festivities going? Take good care of yourself and please keep in touch. Cher xx

Hi Cher x Awww thank you for the mention bless you x what a great cake you made I must do this and you will now of spread the love of a memory here! That’s special 💗…..the gift wrapping looked gorgeous a very personal touch! …..I had to laugh when you said you like to think of all the foxes 🦊 and little animals in their homes 🏡 great minds think alike I’ve always been that “wind in the willows “ person too 😂 I have a fabulous photograph of my dog and my beautiful Archie the fox 🦊 together at a door they were best friends my dog Lulu would run to me bop my lap or leg with her nose run back to the door to tell me Archie was here for his food! Which I promptly took to him normally 6-8 drumsticks I soon realised he was feeding his vixen and cubs which a few weeks later he brought these bundles of fluff to meet lulu and I so later I bought safe toys for them and loads of balls and we used to watch the 6 cubs play in our garden with them all it was magical and when Lulu and I walked into the garden late at night she and Archie would play together they had a good bond I have a fabulous pic as said and would share with you and your channel family here but not sure if you would want to do this or how even. But you are very if you would like! Fabulous vlog as usual just love them My chill time! love to you both have a great week 🩵🩷 xx

It was so fun seeing this video after watching the Cotswold’s vlog, because it brought to mind all the places that you visited. Your gift wrapping with the fabric was so beautifully done, and I love how you make memories with when you find the piece of fabric. Greetings from the desert 🏜️ of Arizona, USA! Rebecca

The movie you referred to The shop around the corner was remade 2 twice . The last time it was called You've got mail. You may remember Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. x
Cher, I adore your fabric gift wrap idea! Everything looks so beautiful and elegant. I am going to have to hunt for some beautiful fabric of my own. Thank you for the wonderful idea. xx
Hi, hope you are doing ok in the run up to Christmas, I know things may be feeling different for you this year. Thinking of you. Yes, the fabric is beautiful and so easy. It surprised me with how easy it is to be honest! Take care and catch up again soon, Cher x
@@seasonal-stories Thank you, Cher, x Things have been very different this year. Its been quite a difficult year in general. I am a forever hopeful kind of person, but things have been running me down. My husband is battling stage 3 colon cancer and stage 3 liver disease. Your videos and kindness help me escape for awhile. Take care x
@@soaringangel Good morning, it sounds like you have had a difficult year and I am so sorry to hear this news about your husband. Thank you for sharing this with me. Thinking of you over the festive season, take time to rest and reflect as well making memories - I know this is easier said than done. Take good care of yourself. Cher x

Hi Cher, we didn't get too much of the storm in 🇳🇱 . Just a bit of rain. Growing up I loved (and still do) any animal documentaries like Attenborough 🦁 It's a shame what humans have done to animals over the centuries but I focus on positive stories like your's 😊 And I also like peppermint and sometimes chocolate with peppermint bits. Sinful 😅Take care 💙
Hi Coty, Hope you are well and keeping warm, it storm really hit the UK, a lot of damage. Yes I know exactly what you mean about humans and animals. Chocolate and peppermint sound delicious! Cher x
Hi Cher, your cake sounds wonderful, but when you made it you put butter in it. Neither your list of ingredients or method includes putting butter in it, so I wonder if you could clarify this for me please. I love your videos, Merry Christmas to you both
Hiya, that was very well observed and thanks so much for noticing. You are absolutely right, I did use butter and I attached the wrong recipe unknowingly. I have edited it now! 🥰. Thanks so much for noticing. Also, thank you for watching the vlog and taking the time to comment too, would love to know if you give the cake a go. It is delicious. Remember to add the dried fruit to the top mid bake so they don't sink. Cher x
Foxes are brutal, they prey on pets and will even pack together and take down deer. I think they are fascinating but carnivores and cunningly mean! Oh and the chicken don’t even have a chance!
I was unaware about them taking down deer. It's a cruel world out there isn't it? I just wish all the animals could live happily among one another but know that is very far from reality and the living cycle. Yes, friends with chickens do say they can be a problem. Hope you are well this week. Cher x
Have lived a rural life and while foxes frequently raid chicken runs, ducks,rabbits etc have never heard of them catching deer. Is this a recent problem? I know that deer numbers have increased in recent years.
Midweek is here already and we are most certainly into the run up to Christmas! Hope you enjoy this very cosy day at home. Lots of love Cher (& GB) x

Yes, you are absolutely right - one of our favourites! A '90s romcom classic! We have compared the scenes before - very interesting isn't it? Cher xx
