When Lucy said “if this is content you don’t enjoy anymore, it’s okay”, I literally said LUCY, OMG, NO WE LOVE THIS CONTENT! Welcome back, we missed you loads!
So good to see you back Lucy. Condolences on the loss of your Nan. I lost mine three years ago last Thursday, which is about when this video went up. We try to still talk about her and include what she would have said into conversations. On the first birthday without her we had a cram tea in her honour. She’s gone, but not forgotten. Congratulations on starting movement and on writing. So proud of you. Congratulations to Adam too on the job. I know what you mean about the kitchen and delays. I need a new kitchen as the one in this house was falling apart when I moved in. Six months ago I to replace the built in cooker which had become unsafe, so I bought the cooker I wanted rather than a stop gap. Massive lead time. Had to demolish the kitchen. There are now no cupboards in their original location with the exception of the sink unit. Its like a load of missing teeth….. and of course I can’t afford to replace everything now so will have to wait till I have the money and then for the lead time. So glad I’m not having to do windows. Good luck with that. Wish this was a two way conversation too. I did my best!
I went thru a spell of not watching YT at all (because of stress, not bc lack of content/interest) and started catching up with people I missed. Your channel was top of my list & when I saw there were only 3/4 videos on yours I panicked, went to IG, and had to make sure you hadn't "quit" while I wasn't looking. (Two people I watched regularly did. 🙁) I'm glad you posted & glad you are working on things you love, like your book & crossstich, reading. I love the content you put out & your personality is refreshing. Sending good vibes to all! 💚🧚♀️🔮
Really proud of you for finding joy in movement that works for you, would love a video about peloton as its so expensive and I'd like to know why its so popular 😅 also well done Adam on the amazing job! So lovely to hear from you Lucy, keep on with that writing as you never know 🧡
LUCYYYYYYY!! So happy to get this notification! I legit teared up when you spoke about writing your book and the huge accomplishment it is to create an entire fictional world and write the words “the end.” That, my friend (can I call you that even though we’ve never met? 😹 I feel like we’d be friends in real life 😬😽), is so fricken inspiring and beautiful and really hit me in the soul. So happy you’re doing it and that you’re back! Yayyy! 🖤
Congrats to Adam with the job! How exciting! And welcome back Lucy! I feel like your videos are always so relatable so it's so lovely having you back! I'm totally with you, not kidding when I say the peloton has changed my life. My relationship with exercise now comes from such a place of love and fun. We've only had ours since December but for me and my partner it's made a huge difference to our lives.
If you want to buy a big cross stitch then heaven and earth designs are really beautiful and really big. Also there is a thing called flosstube on yt where people talk about their cross stitch pieces. Maybe that could be your cup of tea or you can get some inspiration for your next cross stitch piece.
🥺 I love that you’re writing a book! And I can appreciate the not wanting to put pressure on yourself and letting it just happen! Be kind to yourself ✨ (But also I hope you finish it because that is a huge accomplishment - but also I’d love to read it!!)
Yaaaaaay! Hi Lucy, so good to see you!! (Also, I feel like "Am I being to weird?" is the best sign for you being on the right track 🙏) Also, quick edit as someone who's gone through a spell of dizziness as well: Mine was caused by extremely cramped and tense neck muscles from working too much at my desk and not doing enough stretching and exercise to counterbalance it. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Yes! You are so right, simply writing and finishing the thing is huge! A whole book that didn’t exist before! You’re so cool. So glad to see you again.
I came up with the premise of a book and then laughed at the idea of me writing a book (I'm in med school and suck at writing 3-page essays). I am amazed by anyone's brain who can organize a story, dialogue, character development. That is such an astounding skill! I cannot wait to see the kitchen reno. I have loved watching everything you have done to your adorable bungalow
Listen... listen... I have always wanted to write a book. If you were to make ANY book videos, I will absolutely love them. I just have no idea where to even begin in feels so intimidating.
I do not jump on the TH-camr books bandwagon at all but I know that what you create would be fab, and I would snap it up in a HEARTBEAT. Hopefully these comments will be reassurance enough for a publisher or agent to pick it up!!
As someone who is also trying to write a book, you should 100% be proud of what you’ve done!! People don’t understand the effort and time and energy that goes into creating the books they read. It’s so impressive and I’m rooting for you so hard!! 🥳🥳🥳
Sorry Lucy, you are stuck with me because there isn't a corner of the internet that I enjoy more than here. So glad to see you back and to hear that life is a solid 7/10. Congrats on starting your book, I have no doubt that you will finish it and that it will be picked up xx
Would absolutely love a video about peloton as someone who is also terrified of the word 'exercise' tbh!!! Have seen so much good stuff and wondering if it will crack the wall of anxiety for me too. So happy you posted, I love this coffee catch up videos, it's like sitting with an old friend :)
Welcome back Lucy! Love seeing you (and the ever-gorgeous Flo) back. I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, that's really hard, sending lots of love. I hope also you feel better very soon, it sounds as though you've had a rough time of it. Well done on continuing to write your book, that's amazing motivation no matter what speed you do it at. Keep going! :) On a slightly different note, as a Brit who travelled back and forth to New England on and off for a few years, I can confidently recommend New England in the autumn / fall, it's gorgeous. No matter when you get the chance to go, you'll love the season there, promise. Boston is an amazing city, but there's a lot of gems outside it as well. Hope this isn't too cheeky, but thought I'd share a few recommendations of things I loved that you and Adam might as well: - Salem on Halloween is a very busy but memorable experience. If you opt to go at that time, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the view of it, the lights that are strung about are so pretty. It's a definite bring your camera occasion. - Honestly though, I recommend seeing Salem on quieter days too. A lot of people miss out on it when it isn't spooky season, and it's beautiful. Make sure to drop by Harrison's Comics, it's wonderful in there. - Hot apple cider donuts. Incredible during the fall season. If you see them anywhere made fresh, try them, it's a zero regrets sort of situation. - If you like a bit of a drive, head for Shelburne Falls (still Massachusetts) and see the Bridge of Flowers. It's at its best in spring, but it's still a gorgeous view in the fall and wonderful to walk around the village. - I also recommend stopping by Bernie's Dining Depot in Chicopee for excellent prime rib amongst other dishes. It's an experience in itself because the seating is inside a converted train car! - Other interesting things in the area: Howe Caverns in nearby Schoharie County (New York state) is a lot of fun and really interesting to look at. I also strongly recommend visiting Emily Dickinson's homestead (Amherst, MA, also a lovely place to eat and walk around), the Mark Twain House and Museum (Hartford, Connecticut, not that far away) and Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House (Concord, MA, where she wrote and set Little Women). Wishing you and Adam and Flo and family all the best!
"I never said it's gonna be cool around here." Excuse me, your mug, your humour, cross stitching, your outfit, a bookclub, writing your own book (and all your thoughts around it), wanting to visit boston in the fall ... it's like hearing myself talk and I've finally found someone who is just like me! I am so excited and grateful for TH-cam that it suggested this video to me! Definitely subscribed now! Thank you for this lovely chat and I'm looking forward to the next videos. :)
I went to school in VT and you’d LOVE Burlington in the fall! If you fly into Boston it’s only a 3 hour drive. Well worth it! And check out Champlain Chocolates too!
So sorry to hear all you’ve been going through Lucy. What a blessing to have your Nan until age 30 though! 💕 looking forward to your lively and hilarious self appearing online more often! and I can’t wait to read your book one day 😎
I think it’s great that you are writing a book! I would also read it! Without sounding like a stalker me and my friends are also pencilling in a New York Salem trip around October. Apparently in sales they do something every weekend leading up to Halloween, so we want to drive around explore New England
I love what you said about spending so much time with Adam and having a whole new understanding of each other after lockdown. No one I've tried to explain that to has understood what I meany so thank you for putting it in to such clear words. I'm very glad you're back and I'm looking forward to your next video. Whatever it might be.
So good to see you ! So sorry to hear about your grandmother 💗it’s never easy …congrats Adam ! How exciting ! A whole new venture …and whoop whoop ! To you working on a book !! Something I shall look forward to reading ! 💞💞
If you ever publish fiction I will definitely buy and read it because I love your brain and humour but also because it would be a great way for me to support someone who has given me a lot of joy over the years. (It isn’t like fiction but I’m currently working on my MA in history and writing the ~100 pages I have to finish for June gives me that same feeling of satisfaction some days… and the next day it all feels like a bunch of nonsense.) Sending love as always ❤️
First, it's wonderful to see you! Second...I can so relate to the wait time for EVERYTHING! Our stove died and we were lucky enough to get one, delivered broken, sent back and unable to get another for three months. Ended up with a more expensive one because they were in stock:( But when you have a family to feed... The sales person said at least we didn't need a freezer...wait time, 6 months. As for the book...don't ever think you won't deliver a wonderful effort. Look at J.K. Rowling...Deb Harkness. When there is a fire burning inside to create, do it for you with no regrets. I'm sure it will be wonderful. Can't wait for the new kitchen and what ever content you want to put out, I'll be there!
Literally minutes before my Nanna's funeral a squirrel fell onto the power lines and blew all of the eletrics at the funeral parlor. We were waiting outside to go in and suddenly heard a bang like a gunshot that made us shit our pants. Ended up having to wait it out at the pub with the hopes it would still be able to happen that day which it thankfully did. At the time it was mildly traumatising but we took as one last weird gag Nanna played on us, she had a very odd sense of humour and likely would've found the whole thing hilarious. Grief is weird.
Honestly watching your vids is like catching up with a pal I haven't seen in months, nothing changes 💗 also can I just say how proud I am of you to see how proud you are of yourself? Especially with the book. You're incredible ✨💫💖
So good to see you Lucy, nice to have a catch up! So happy you are being brave and going for a book, what a brilliant thing to do, put no pressure on yourself and just doing it for your own joy and love of writing, we could all use a bit of that spirit xx
So amazing for you to say hello 💓 Good news & oversharing....anxiety has been a huge thing for me (24) and for 2 weeks now I've gone to an adult gymnastics club by myself. Driving by myself too and it's taken me so many months to go but I done it🕺 🥂 Also you look really healthy and happy 💓 appreciate you sharing your life and updating us 💓
Yay a Lucy video 😁 Your videos are so soothing to me, they help ground me to the gentle kind funny side of life. Congrats to Adam on the job. And congrats to you on all the stuff you have accomplished in the last few months; the planning of the kitchen, the work writing, the book writing, the movement, the dealing with grief, the reading, the pom poms.. and finally congrats on the thumbnail, it is just excellent
Absolutely relate to the dizziness spells (hooray for random illnesses) and writing a book!! Just dedicating your time to a project that makes you happy is worth it. Side hustles aren’t everything and publishing doesn’t have to be the goal. Good luck with it!❤️
I loooved using the peloton app. I was doing it pretty consistently, but over the summer I went through a very traumatic death in my family and my grief has just taken all my motivation to get on my stationary bike. I know starting it up again will only be positive but I'm just still so down that anything other than laying on my couch sounds like running a marathon. Hoping that I can get back into it this year. Hearing you talk it up makes me want to start again!
If you do make it to Salem, you should take a mini trip to Washington, CT!! It’s the town that Star’s Hollow from Gilmore Girls is based off of and it’s around a 3 hour drive away from Salem.
So happy to have this video to watch. Always worth the wait. I saved it to watch while I had my late morning coffee. 😅 It's great to hear you're writing a book. I hope you it becomes more successful than you can imagine. I love how you call it movement instead of exercise. It sounds less daunting that way. My boyfriend got a peloton last year and I don't think either of us have been on it in the last 6 months. I keep meaning to though so I'll need to look up some classes soon. My good news is I got back home to see some family and friends for my 30th last week and also got engaged at the same time which I really wasn't expecting. ☺I was given some money as gifts for my birthday which allowed me to sign up for a month of therapy which I've wanted to do for ages. I had my first session yesterday which is great. I'm excited for some self improvement in the coming months. I hope your dizzy spells take a hike and leave you able to do what you want and need with no bother. Have a great day! 🙂
:D glad to see you back! My biggest news is that I now have a pet bird. His name is Miko, a green cheek conure (pineapple). He's so cute and cuddly and fun to play with.
Lucy! So glad you’re back. I have missed you so much. I’m sorry about the loss of your Grandma and your vertigo-symptoms. I really hope for a beautiful 2022 for you. Thanks for the catch-up xx
Hello Lucy! Nice to see you back on TH-cam!! Congrats to Adam for his new job 🙂 Yes please to a pelaton video!! Oooooo what exciting news about the book 📖 just the act of writing a book is amazing!! You are all kinds of aces 🌟
I read Brideshead Revisited last year! I'm Catholic and over the pandemic I wanted to read more books about the faith and that one came up as like essential reading. But I am with you.....ohhh no, haha. It took me forever to get through, but we did it.
Idk where this quote can from, but it helped me immensely as an ArTisT: "Being an artist is half self deprecating and thinking you're the worst to ever do (insert your field) and half self centered and thinking you're the greatest." I think it's awesome you're writing a book! Life is short y'all, so just do thing to anyone reading looking for a sign this is it XX
Holy moly; massive congratulations to Adam! That is truly an incredible achievement. I'm so impressed that you've decided to write a book. For any of us that studied Literature/Language, I think we all think about doing it but actually doing it... Ballsy. I got so in to watercolour and painting over lockdown. I've loved being able to be creative again and started writing for our D&D campaign (yeaaah I'm that nerdy, dungeons and dragons became a regular thing as well)
I'm so sorry to hear about your Nan. I actually lost one of my very best friends in the world before Christmas. I still haven't really dealt with it. Anyway, so happy to see your face. Yayyyy Adam!!!!! That's so awesome about the job. So much luck to you Adam. And Lucy, I'm rooting for you, which I think you know 😁. And by the way, weird is always welcome and Dick Van Dyke is one of my favorites.
So lovely to see a new video! My Saturday pamper mornings often consist of binge watching your old videos, I just feel like you're an old school friend that I've not seen in a while! 😘 I suffered with Labrynthitis a few years ago, absolutely horrendous but once it subsided I felt like a brand new woman 💁♀️😂 Hope you feel better soon! X
I would love to hear more about learning to enjoy more movement as it is one of my goals but I really struggle with it... Is the peleton bike loud ? I live in a flat and don't want my neighbours to complain... Also excited about your future projects 🤩 Thanks for sharing your life with us, sending love for the more difficult times you’re going through ♥️
You're so relatable Lucy, I've watched you for years and I've always found you open and honest. I lost my nan in September too and the grief still hits me. Also love the book recommendations! I hope you're okay xx
I'm hanging in... tested positive for covid today, but I finally became a hoMEOWner a week before christmas! So nice to have my own place, but I do miss the cats back at my mums 😫 I'm busy painting and sanding literally everything, I cannot wait for things to be dust free 😂 big project for me is to tackle the bathroom soon!
I was wondering where you were and then you popped up. Good luck with the book. I too am writing one, like you at my own pace. I started a masters degree as well. Think that was the craziest but worthwhile thing i have done for myself. xxx
Hey! You’ve been such a miss, glad the warm cosy Lucy vibes are back! Very intrigued on the novel front, much like everyone else in the comments I’d have no hesitation in buying and reading anything you’ve written! Congrats to Adam on the new job too 💕
Missed you! Thanks for the updates. So cool that Adam now works at Disney, congrats to him. And to you for working on a book! Sounds like a busy year ahead for you guys, enjoy x
So lovely to watch a Lucy video ☺️. Glad you’re ok (sorry to hear about your Nan 😔). Excited to hear your plans for this year and look forward to watching it unfold. And good for you starting the book! I honestly hadn’t twigged from your stories! X
If you go to New England, you should definitely try to go to Portland, Maine!! It’s beautiful and has a lot of great restaurants. It’s only a couple of hours from Boston.
Lucy! I think our stars are aligning. I have got into movement in the last year too (specifically weight lifting of all things) and I’m like you- my brain just clicked and now I’m hooked and I love exercising after a lifetime of resisting it. I am also trying to write my first book this year, and I’m so proud of you for pursuing this goal of yours. It’s such an intimidating idea, so thank you for talking about it, it was inspiring and motivating to hear. Also I just love that you found a BF who looks like Harry Potter and works for Disney- dreams really do come true 😂 Big love to you and Adam and Flo ❤️
Always love your videos lucy! Its good to know you and adam (and flo) are doing well and please take all the time you need to take care of yourself! We will stick around!
Just finished your video. So sorry to hear about your nan ❤️ It's never easy when you lose someone you love. Huge congrats to Adam on his new job! How amazing does that sound?! I bet Flo is loving all of your pompoms 🤣 I am a few years older than you and started writing a book years ago. Then marriage and kids came along and I haven't picked it up in a looong while. One day... I'm sure your book will be totally awesome and, I for one, would read it x
So happy to see a video from you! Im so sorry to hear about your Gran. Sending you love. I HIGHLY encourage you to visit New England in the fall. I’m a southern New Hampshire native and, while the “leaf peepers” can cause annoying traffic, it really is so beautiful here in the fall. Central to northern Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine and western Massachusetts are some of the best spots to take in the seasonal colors. Boston is a great city too. I’d love to hear you share your journey with movement. It’s a journey that I’ve started in earnest this year and it’s been really helpful for my mental health. Stay well!
Yes please to a Peloton video!! I had mine delivered this week and honestly it was because of you that I thought of it as an option. I also have a strained relationship with "exercise" so really hopeful that the fun element of the classes will help me. As well as classes you love, I would love your recommendations for making the seat more comfortable 🤣
Been rewatching your Disney vlogs while feeding my new baby girl, so excited to hear from you again! Tip for New England in fall - definitely go a little later than you’d think! I went early October and was bummed not to see many orange leaves. But we loved it, especially Maine!
Native Bostonian here to agree with this. Later October/earlier November is better for aesthetics. But the closer to Halloween the crazier Salem is, which isn’t a huge deal for a lot of people but worth noting imo.
Well 2022 started out for me positively cos I've got a new flat which i love 😊 So happy and grateful to watch your amazing content! It's always lovely to watch you 😊
Oh Lucy! I had the exact same thing last year... (Also watched a lot of diagnosis murder in my time ❤️, in fact, there was a time I felt totally better but really faked still feeling ill so I could watch the 2nd half of a two-parter...! Wasn't missing that for the world!!!) It definitely got better, so I hope you feel more yourself really soon. It was so horrible. ❤️❤️❤️
Yayy so happy to hear you might be coming to Boston!! FYI, Salem has all the vibes in the fall but it's VERY VERY BUSY. But in general New England is the best and so pretty in the fall :)
So glad you're doing okay, sending you my love. Your videos are honestly my favourite things to watch on TH-cam. Honestly you are the most loveliest and kindest youtuber ever and I honestly love your videos so much. I would love to read anything you write because I know it will be incredible. No pressure though 🥰
So fun to hear an update! Also thanks for being brave enough to talk about your writing! I for one would totally be excited to read and pay you for whatever you end up creating (and wanting to share)🥰🥰
So glad that you are back! I was frequently returning to your channel to see if TH-cam was just not sharing updates with me. Your videos have always felt that I'm sitting down with a cup of tea and chatting with a friend. I'm so excited for all of the positive things you have going on in your life for 2022!
![FINISHING TOUCHES AND A COSY CATCH UP | LUCY WOOD [AD]](/img/n.gif)
No pressure, but I would buy a book from you in a heartbeat!
That means so much! 🥰
When Lucy said “if this is content you don’t enjoy anymore, it’s okay”, I literally said LUCY, OMG, NO WE LOVE THIS CONTENT! Welcome back, we missed you loads!
Checked in with myself: am I still here for this content? Honest chats, book writing, kitchen reno, Flo, Adam and Lucy. Yes absolutely ofcourse 100%.
Was literally thinking about you and how long it’s been since last time I’ve seen you just yesterday! Hope you’re doing well Lucy ❤️
HERE I AM! Hope you're good my friend :)
Ditto this ❤
So good to see you back Lucy.
Condolences on the loss of your Nan.

Lucy you're like a forever friend we could not see you for a while but when we do it's like nothings changed 💛
Congrats to Adam with the job! How exciting! And welcome back Lucy! I feel like your videos are always so relatable so it's so lovely having you back!
I'm totally with you, not kidding when I say the peloton has changed my life. My relationship with exercise now comes from such a place of love and fun. We've only had ours since December but for me and my partner it's made a huge difference to our lives.

Been missing you!!! Glad to see you back!!!

New England listener and former Salem resident here. Hope you get to do your autumn trip- it can be pretty magical here that time of year.🍁
Yaaaaaay! Hi Lucy, so good to see you!! (Also, I feel like "Am I being to weird?" is the best sign for you being on the right track 🙏)
Also, quick edit as someone who's gone through a spell of dizziness as well: Mine was caused by extremely cramped and tense neck muscles from working too much at my desk and not doing enough stretching and exercise to counterbalance it. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Pahaha my most frequently asked question

I hope so!!

That’s so wonderful to hear! Thank you for stopping by 😊
I went to school in VT and you’d LOVE Burlington in the fall! If you fly into Boston it’s only a 3 hour drive. Well worth it! And check out Champlain Chocolates too!
So sorry to hear all you’ve been going through Lucy. What a blessing to have your Nan until age 30 though! 💕 looking forward to your lively and hilarious self appearing online more often! and I can’t wait to read your book one day 😎
So nice to have a catch up! Missed you!! Hope the dizziness goes away, that must be so awful!! Sending so much love from NZ ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think it’s great that you are writing a book! I would also read it!
Without sounding like a stalker me and my friends are also pencilling in a New York Salem trip around October. Apparently in sales they do something every weekend leading up to Halloween, so we want to drive around explore New England
I'm so sorry for your loss. Congrats to Adam on his new job. I hope you come to New England in the fall. It's magical. Salem in autumn is divine.
I love what you said about spending so much time with Adam and having a whole new understanding of each other after lockdown. No one I've tried to explain that to has understood what I meany so thank you for putting it in to such clear words.
I'm very glad you're back and I'm looking forward to your next video. Whatever it might be.
So good to see you ! So sorry to hear about your grandmother 💗it’s never easy …congrats Adam ! How exciting ! A whole new venture …and whoop whoop ! To you working on a book !! Something I shall look forward to reading ! 💞💞
One piece of advice about the kitchen renovation - open shelves are pretty to look at and style but you will miss that storage space so much!!
I don't think I've ever been this early, but I also have been really missing your videos, so that's to be expected 😂 So happy to see you here again 🥺
Wahey! Thanks so much for stopping by x
If you ever publish fiction I will definitely buy and read it because I love your brain and humour but also because it would be a great way for me to support someone who has given me a lot of joy over the years. (It isn’t like fiction but I’m currently working on my MA in history and writing the ~100 pages I have to finish for June gives me that same feeling of satisfaction some days… and the next day it all feels like a bunch of nonsense.) Sending love as always ❤️
First, it's wonderful to see you!
Second...I can so relate to the wait time for EVERYTHING! Our stove died and we were lucky enough to get one, delivered broken, sent back and unable to get another for three months. Ended up with a more expensive one because they were in stock:( But when you have a family to feed... The sales person said at least we didn't need a freezer...wait time, 6 months.
As for the book...don't ever think you won't deliver a wonderful effort. Look at J.K. Rowling...Deb Harkness. When there is a fire burning inside to create, do it for you with no regrets. I'm sure it will be wonderful.
Can't wait for the new kitchen and what ever content you want to put out, I'll be there!
Literally minutes before my Nanna's funeral a squirrel fell onto the power lines and blew all of the eletrics at the funeral parlor. We were waiting outside to go in and suddenly heard a bang like a gunshot that made us shit our pants. Ended up having to wait it out at the pub with the hopes it would still be able to happen that day which it thankfully did. At the time it was mildly traumatising but we took as one last weird gag Nanna played on us, she had a very odd sense of humour and likely would've found the whole thing hilarious. Grief is weird.
Glad you're back. Love your videos.
Honestly watching your vids is like catching up with a pal I haven't seen in months, nothing changes 💗 also can I just say how proud I am of you to see how proud you are of yourself? Especially with the book. You're incredible ✨💫💖
Lucy, we all adore you and miss you! So glad to see you again. 🥰
I WOULD READ IT! You go Lucy, no pressure, just the best energy!! I believe in you!!!
So good to see you Lucy, nice to have a catch up! So happy you are being brave and going for a book, what a brilliant thing to do, put no pressure on yourself and just doing it for your own joy and love of writing, we could all use a bit of that spirit xx
So amazing for you to say hello 💓
Good news & oversharing....anxiety has been a huge thing for me (24) and for 2 weeks now I've gone to an adult gymnastics club by myself. Driving by myself too and it's taken me so many months to go but I done it🕺 🥂
Also you look really healthy and happy 💓 appreciate you sharing your life and updating us 💓
Yay a Lucy video 😁 Your videos are so soothing to me, they help ground me to the gentle kind funny side of life. Congrats to Adam on the job. And congrats to you on all the stuff you have accomplished in the last few months; the planning of the kitchen, the work writing, the book writing, the movement, the dealing with grief, the reading, the pom poms.. and finally congrats on the thumbnail, it is just excellent
Absolutely relate to the dizziness spells (hooray for random illnesses) and writing a book!! Just dedicating your time to a project that makes you happy is worth it. Side hustles aren’t everything and publishing doesn’t have to be the goal. Good luck with it!❤️
I loooved using the peloton app. I was doing it pretty consistently, but over the summer I went through a very traumatic death in my family and my grief has just taken all my motivation to get on my stationary bike. I know starting it up again will only be positive but I'm just still so down that anything other than laying on my couch sounds like running a marathon. Hoping that I can get back into it this year. Hearing you talk it up makes me want to start again!
I would love a video about Peloton. I got mine last June and I feel exactly the same as you, I’m obsessed. X
If you do make it to Salem, you should take a mini trip to Washington, CT!! It’s the town that Star’s Hollow from Gilmore Girls is based off of and it’s around a 3 hour drive away from Salem.
So happy to have this video to watch. Always worth the wait. I saved it to watch while I had my late morning coffee. 😅 It's great to hear you're writing a book. I hope you it becomes more successful than you can imagine. I love how you call it movement instead of exercise. It sounds less daunting that way. My boyfriend got a peloton last year and I don't think either of us have been on it in the last 6 months. I keep meaning to though so I'll need to look up some classes soon. My good news is I got back home to see some family and friends for my 30th last week and also got engaged at the same time which I really wasn't expecting. ☺I was given some money as gifts for my birthday which allowed me to sign up for a month of therapy which I've wanted to do for ages. I had my first session yesterday which is great. I'm excited for some self improvement in the coming months. I hope your dizzy spells take a hike and leave you able to do what you want and need with no bother. Have a great day! 🙂
I will be first in line for a Lucy Wood book when it makes its way to America!!! Hope you are well!
:D glad to see you back! My biggest news is that I now have a pet bird. His name is Miko, a green cheek conure (pineapple). He's so cute and cuddly and fun to play with.
So glad to see you back! But damn it Lucy, you’re absolutely right and now I have to write a book.
Lucy! So glad you’re back. I have missed you so much. I’m sorry about the loss of your Grandma and your vertigo-symptoms. I really hope for a beautiful 2022 for you. Thanks for the catch-up xx
Hello Lucy!
Nice to see you back on TH-cam!!
Congrats to Adam for his new job 🙂
Yes please to a pelaton video!!
Oooooo what exciting news about the book 📖 just the act of writing a book is amazing!!
You are all kinds of aces 🌟
I read Brideshead Revisited last year! I'm Catholic and over the pandemic I wanted to read more books about the faith and that one came up as like essential reading. But I am with you.....ohhh no, haha. It took me forever to get through, but we did it.
Idk where this quote can from, but it helped me immensely as an ArTisT: "Being an artist is half self deprecating and thinking you're the worst to ever do (insert your field) and half self centered and thinking you're the greatest." I think it's awesome you're writing a book! Life is short y'all, so just do thing to anyone reading looking for a sign this is it XX
Hahaha the two moods exactly!
@@LucyJaneWood it's silly but it did help me 🤷 I love a quote
LUCY'S BACK *happy dance*
Holy moly; massive congratulations to Adam! That is truly an incredible achievement.
I'm so impressed that you've decided to write a book. For any of us that studied Literature/Language, I think we all think about doing it but actually doing it... Ballsy.
I got so in to watercolour and painting over lockdown. I've loved being able to be creative again and started writing for our D&D campaign (yeaaah I'm that nerdy, dungeons and dragons became a regular thing as well)
Soo good to see your lovely face! one of my must do this year is see the colors in the northeast, granted my trip is certainly shorter than yours :)
lovely to hear for you, thanks for cheering up my evening xxx
Love having Lucy Wood involved with BookTube! I hope to read your book someday! Even if this one doesn’t sell you can still try again 💙
I'm so sorry to hear about your Nan. I actually lost one of my very best friends in the world before Christmas. I still haven't really dealt with it. Anyway, so happy to see your face. Yayyyy Adam!!!!! That's so awesome about the job. So much luck to you Adam. And Lucy, I'm rooting for you, which I think you know 😁. And by the way, weird is always welcome and Dick Van Dyke is one of my favorites.
So lovely to see a new video! My Saturday pamper mornings often consist of binge watching your old videos, I just feel like you're an old school friend that I've not seen in a while! 😘 I suffered with Labrynthitis a few years ago, absolutely horrendous but once it subsided I felt like a brand new woman 💁♀️😂 Hope you feel better soon! X
Sorry to hear about your grandma, I also lost mine in December. Congratulations to Adam on the new job.
I would love to hear more about learning to enjoy more movement as it is one of my goals but I really struggle with it... Is the peleton bike loud ? I live in a flat and don't want my neighbours to complain... Also excited about your future projects 🤩 Thanks for sharing your life with us, sending love for the more difficult times you’re going through ♥️
You're so relatable Lucy, I've watched you for years and I've always found you open and honest. I lost my nan in September too and the grief still hits me. Also love the book recommendations! I hope you're okay xx
I'm hanging in... tested positive for covid today, but I finally became a hoMEOWner a week before christmas! So nice to have my own place, but I do miss the cats back at my mums 😫 I'm busy painting and sanding literally everything, I cannot wait for things to be dust free 😂 big project for me is to tackle the bathroom soon!
You are writing?!?! Oh my god!! 😁 i am so excited 🤗
Your mindset right now is really beautiful 💙 Thank you!
I was wondering where you were and then you popped up. Good luck with the book. I too am writing one, like you at my own pace. I started a masters degree as well. Think that was the craziest but worthwhile thing i have done for myself. xxx
Hey! You’ve been such a miss, glad the warm
cosy Lucy vibes are back!
Very intrigued on the novel front, much like everyone else in the comments I’d have no hesitation in buying and reading anything you’ve written!
Congrats to Adam on the new job too 💕
I’m watching this having a cold beer in the bath 😂 that’s how my 2022 is going so far! So nice to see you back 🥳
Missed you! Thanks for the updates. So cool that Adam now works at Disney, congrats to him. And to you for working on a book! Sounds like a busy year ahead for you guys, enjoy x
So lovely to watch a Lucy video ☺️. Glad you’re ok (sorry to hear about your Nan 😔). Excited to hear your plans for this year and look forward to watching it unfold. And good for you starting the book! I honestly hadn’t twigged from your stories! X
Best notification ever! 😍😅 anyone else is ready to pre order that book?!
If you go to New England, you should definitely try to go to Portland, Maine!! It’s beautiful and has a lot of great restaurants. It’s only a couple of hours from Boston.
Lucy! I think our stars are aligning. I have got into movement in the last year too (specifically weight lifting of all things) and I’m like you- my brain just clicked and now I’m hooked and I love exercising after a lifetime of resisting it. I am also trying to write my first book this year, and I’m so proud of you for pursuing this goal of yours. It’s such an intimidating idea, so thank you for talking about it, it was inspiring and motivating to hear. Also I just love that you found a BF who looks like Harry Potter and works for Disney- dreams really do come true 😂
Big love to you and Adam and Flo ❤️
You’re such a genuine person. I’m glad to hear your voice and wish your little family well. 💗keep up the hard work!
I hit my Pom Pom phase last year. It is weirdly relaxing and satisfying.
Hey, lovely to see you again. Congrats Adam on your new job. Loved this catch up, your looking really well. How's Flo?
Best of luck with the book ❤️
Always love your videos lucy! Its good to know you and adam (and flo) are doing well and please take all the time you need to take care of yourself! We will stick around!
Nice to see you back! Sorry to hear of your Nan 😞 hoping 2022 will be a fresh new year for you!
Just finished your video. So sorry to hear about your nan ❤️ It's never easy when you lose someone you love. Huge congrats to Adam on his new job! How amazing does that sound?! I bet Flo is loving all of your pompoms 🤣 I am a few years older than you and started writing a book years ago. Then marriage and kids came along and I haven't picked it up in a looong while. One day... I'm sure your book will be totally awesome and, I for one, would read it x
so wonderful to see your beautiful face , Hope you and Adam are doing well
I kept coming back to your channel to see if you had uploaded. So happy to see you are back!!!!!! Day has been made
Ahhh thanks for checking up on me! Hope all is well :)
So happy to see a video from you! Im so sorry to hear about your Gran. Sending you love.
I HIGHLY encourage you to visit New England in the fall. I’m a southern New Hampshire native and, while the “leaf peepers” can cause annoying traffic, it really is so beautiful here in the fall. Central to northern Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine and western Massachusetts are some of the best spots to take in the seasonal colors. Boston is a great city too.
I’d love to hear you share your journey with movement. It’s a journey that I’ve started in earnest this year and it’s been really helpful for my mental health.
Stay well!
Yes please to a Peloton video!! I had mine delivered this week and honestly it was because of you that I thought of it as an option. I also have a strained relationship with "exercise" so really hopeful that the fun element of the classes will help me. As well as classes you love, I would love your recommendations for making the seat more comfortable 🤣
As an American, hearing you wistfully describe New England in the fall is so endearing haha.
So lovely to see you in my TH-cam feed xx You’re such a delight to (virtually) hang out with!
Been rewatching your Disney vlogs while feeding my new baby girl, so excited to hear from you again! Tip for New England in fall - definitely go a little later than you’d think! I went early October and was bummed not to see many orange leaves. But we loved it, especially Maine!
I'm from Maine, living in the UK now, and the autumn is when I really get the feels for going back :)
Native Bostonian here to agree with this. Later October/earlier November is better for aesthetics. But the closer to Halloween the crazier Salem is, which isn’t a huge deal for a lot of people but worth noting imo.
Well 2022 started out for me positively cos I've got a new flat which i love 😊 So happy and grateful to watch your amazing content! It's always lovely to watch you 😊
Oh Lucy! I had the exact same thing last year... (Also watched a lot of diagnosis murder in my time ❤️, in fact, there was a time I felt totally better but really faked still feeling ill so I could watch the 2nd half of a two-parter...! Wasn't missing that for the world!!!)
It definitely got better, so I hope you feel more yourself really soon. It was so horrible. ❤️❤️❤️
Yayy so happy to hear you might be coming to Boston!! FYI, Salem has all the vibes in the fall but it's VERY VERY BUSY. But in general New England is the best and so pretty in the fall :)
So glad you're doing okay, sending you my love. Your videos are honestly my favourite things to watch on TH-cam. Honestly you are the most loveliest and kindest youtuber ever and I honestly love your videos so much. I would love to read anything you write because I know it will be incredible. No pressure though 🥰
So fun to hear an update! Also thanks for being brave enough to talk about your writing! I for one would totally be excited to read and pay you for whatever you end up creating (and wanting to share)🥰🥰
So glad that you are back! I was frequently returning to your channel to see if TH-cam was just not sharing updates with me. Your videos have always felt that I'm sitting down with a cup of tea and chatting with a friend. I'm so excited for all of the positive things you have going on in your life for 2022!
Cannot even begin to tell you how much I have been HOPING that you are secretly writing a book! 👏
