    Banana bread with blueberries is delicious! Or also banana bread with chocolate chips so delicious as well. Sometimes I make banana muffins instead of bread and it's great too.

    Everything goes straight from the washing machine to the dryer, I rarely hang anything out. My granny had a clothesline like yours with a stick to raise it up so the sheets didn’t drag in the dirt. Your jeans look fabulous as do the muffins.

    We use lines under cover at the back of the house when it's wet here in Ireland. When I bring the laundry in I hang it on the drying rack in the kitchen which is always cosy and warm. I put things on hangers if I need to and find if dried outside most things don't need ironing. Love your cat! Enjoyed your video, thank you Kay and God bless. PS you might want to watch Diane in Denmark, I love her channel..she's Scottish married to a Dane and I think you'd enjoy her.

I love it though 😍xx

    Fun video! Have you thought of switching to 100% cotton clothes, instead of microfiber? I myself just learned that microfiber contains plastics which, when laundered, send minute particles into the water system - destroying the environment.
    I love that you dry your laundry on the steam radiator and outdoors! I do the same. It’s
    both ecological and economical. Kudos to you!

    I love to dry washing outside, but in the winter I dry it all indoors on my ceiling airer. It dries overnight and I would hate to be without it. You don't need to worry about condensation if you keep an upstairs window open a crack, all the moisture will be drawn outside by what is called the stack effect. I have only just found your channel and am really enjoying it. Thank you.

Here in Canada, drying clothes inside was always a great idea because it was good humidity , and lessened the dryness in a home.Dryed ever so quickly as well.!! Keep up the wonderful videos, love them 🙂❤

    Lovely following along with your day. I love seeing wash blowing on the line, too, and there is no better scent than air dried clothes! Freshness itself. Very nice idea to arrange your ingredients for baking in order! Because I'm almost 60 and can be forgetful or easily distracted, I take it one step further...I set the ingredient far off to the side, once I've used it. Otherwise, if the phone rings, or I'm interrupted, I won't remember what's gone into the dough, lol! Because I have to bake wheat free and low carb, there are always multiple ingredients to keep track of! I'm new here, and have been loving your sweet personality...you are such a loving fur mama : )

    Obsessed with your channel at the moment! Came across you a few months ago when I find you via the Cosy Log Cabin Tour you did in Scotland and I just love your spirit! I relate to you so much in wanting an enjoyable, chill life. I saw in your minimalist journey video that you went to Australia & New Zealand and I was just curious how much it costs to go there if you’re on a budget as I’ve always wanted to go but never had the money! Keep being amazing ✨

    Hello love! Your weightloss journey seems to be full steam ahead, hun, you look awesome! Will you be doing an update on that playlist soon? The baking. It's a lot more work in the end, for sure, but always worth it. Did and doing a lot of that this week! I did a memorial cake for my uncle/dad's birthday yesterday, and then birthday scones for my afternoon tea on Saturday, and another set of scones for Mother's Day Sunday heehee. Then I start watching the baking ;) No point before my bday :D. Fluffernut is always a bright part of my day. I started following you with your moving in and redeco videos for the cottage, but when you shared the video bringing him home, it was very much like I did too and I have loved watching him grow. I miss my baby so much, and can't have another, so this helps me heal and feel like I can love a little fur one again, even from a distance. You are both blessings, and Dom of course as well! Tell him, I agree with his baking choices Heehee. xo. Much love to you all from across the pond. Kayla

I also have a highlight on his instagram that goes through his food and grooming routine.

      @@sadie4me2 Yes, we've always had Echo just in our room at night and plan to continue it until we have two cats and we're happy they're not going to get up to no good while we're asleep! 😂 Because it's all he's ever known he has no issue with it, we've left the door open from time to time but he still just stays with us.
      We move his litter tray up and down each day which gets annoying but our house is too small and open plan to keep one upstairs. If you're planning on keeping your kitten in your bedroom i'd recommend a a few toys, litter tray, water and food in there too. If you have any other questions just let me know - happy to help :) x
