New York City in September is like nowhere else in the world. The awful humidity has finally broken, and it's still warm enough and bright enough outside for people to enjoy the outdoors before the cold sets in - and it is so beautiful. (....That's one reason why September 11th 2001 was so bittersweet - it was shaping up to be such a BEAUTIFUL, beautiful day that day.)
Spring is "springing" for us, longer days, sunshine, daffodils and bumble bees... that's September for me. Love September.
Something about listening to this slower paced video has just calmed and centred me today, after a hectic morning with work. Happy September!
Hello, as much as I loved your videos in the garden, I'm really glad to see this one about getting your home ready for autumn. You have such a great home design aesthetic. I'm just so happy and ready to see you're moving indoors. Thank you🤗

Maybe try and get some advice on whether you can get the jacket dry cleaned and they get it relaxed. Hard to get into the cosy Autumn vibe when it's been so warm and sunny , you have to enjoy the lovely late Indian summer.

Hey, I hope this helps, but Thursday videos are for the home and Sunday ones are for the garden, the KZread algorithm desk;t show everyone every video, so if you prefer the home videos, pop back on Thursday evenings at 7 x
Just watered my thursty tomatoes and saw the notification for your video. Looove the Barbour jackets, but definitely get it dry cleaned ( proper dry clean, not banging it in chemical wash) or send it off for them to refinish. Its an investment 😊 I am September baby, Sunday's my birthday and as far as im concerned untill 23rd is still summer. There are definitely signs of change in the seasons, but i am enjoying the here and now, the hot sunny days and warm violet evenings, the abundance of flowers, fruit and veg. Managed to forage blackberries and have made blackberry jam, and cherry jam, and only couple nights ago made baked walnut and plum jam. So handmade gifts for Christmas are allready in the making. I love when September gifts us with pretty unexpected hot days 😊

Kathrine, give the jacket company a call . Get the advice if it’s worth paying for the treatment if your not sure it’s been in a washing machine. Even with the cost of the service it’s a bargain and I love it. Slow paced video is all I can manage at the moment and your grand voice. 🤗 just remembered I watched lol your pod cast with the lovely Lad that came to your house …… any more dates 😳I mean any more pod cast in the future 😊.

Love that woodwick and mug at the last scene, sooo beautiful and cozy, must put that on my list. Also, great find on the Barbour jacket, but I'd return the wax and have it done professionally, let them refresh it fully and you know they're doing it right, plus it's only about 50 more than doing it yourself which for a lifetime piece is a song.

The month of September for me is the best time of year, I love the fall when the weather starts to get cooler. However, living in Canada I am not a big fan of our winters. Loved you hack for cleaning your oven. I find that if you place a piece of aluminum foil on the bottom of your oven, it will catch all the mess. Then you just need to replace the foil. Makes for less messy cleaning. Much love from Canada. Have a great rest of your week.

We’re in the process of downsizing to a much smaller house and I’m finally tackling our adult daughter’s bedroom. She’s lived on her own for almost 20 years now, so it’s about time! Like me, she loves books…..so it’s very hard to get rid of them. But, I’m passing them on to her much younger cousins, matching reading material to their ages and it’s making me feel so much better about turning them loose. I guess, like your bar cart it’s knowing someone can potentially appreciate them as much as we do that makes all the difference. September is definitely my favorite month because for us in Wisconsin we have the best of both worlds. Fresh apples to pick, pumpkin flavors popping up everywhere, in what we eat and drink……BUT we can still enjoy fresh tomatoes, corn on the cob and much of the lovely summer harvests. Also knowing each warm day here on out is a gift to be savored until the cold winter snows come. Sorry, got a little wordy here. But, I just love this time of year!!!

Barbour - get it dry cleaned (if you put it through the washing machine the dissolving wax may well gum up you washing machine/pipes) and they ALWAYS smell ... the smell of the wax is very distinctive. I quite like it however 😊
I completely agree. I love the lighting in September and am not ready for pumpkins yet!

Fun vlog. Totally agree.. hot weather in September is not unusual.. "Indian Summer"... Autumn doesn't start until 24th September.. I'm happy to wait until it is here... I'm still enjoying the summer! We have 35°C ..so swimming and ice-cream is still the best thing.
Ha ha ha, still avoiding the linen press of doom I see. 😊♥
I love fall and autumn along with Spring! Both are my favorites ❤❤
Still in the 80’s here in Idaho Love the slower pace video Love fall but still enjoying the late summer garden !!!!!! Still some swimming days left !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like September because I associate it with the start of new things, probably because school always started in September. Like it’s a better new year than new year to me

Your bed is so pretty, and it says sweet dreams all over! That is a good-looking jacket; I can see it with a nice pair of jeans and ankle boots. Have you tried spraying it with Febreze the fabric spray? It really works. Here is a tip for the oven: aluminum foil in the bottom to catch any drips. I will also put a baking/cookie sheet under whatever I am baking. Have a great week, xoxo's Sandie 😊🍁🍂
Oven tip: lay some tin foil down at the bottom of your oven and then you can just remove and replace whenever needed rather than have to clean the bottom :-)

Lovely video, Catherine. Your duvet cover is so pretty and colourful 😍 I'm also slow to change from summery to autumny, as I love summer brightness and clothes, but I'll get there.
That's a nice looking jacket, never heard of the brand. It's seems strange to have an outer garment that you can't clean though, guess I never thought about it. Hope you get it figured out, keep us updated and model it for us. Thank you.
I adore all the September and early October colours. The Barbour jacket, I had one years ago never got rid of that distinctive smell.

Great tip!
Exactly... September is the intro to Fall like March is for Spring!
Vinegar and baking soda neutralise each other, so the lovely fizz is literally they becoming salty water. Each are great cleaners separately, though. Baking soda and peroxide, on the other hand is a good combination to clean the oven. No need to preheat it, just make a paste with both ingredients, I like mine runnier than tooth paste, but not too liquid, spread it and leave it to work its magic for at least 30 minutes, longer if necessary and then clean as you do here in the video.
Love your beautiful garden videos but my favorites are your indoor videos. I originally found you looking for home organizing and decorating videos and so I'm always delighted to see you return to those.

I agree Catherine, September is awesome, it’s the beginning of Spring for Australia and it’s also my birthday month. I love Spring 🌼🌸🌸 although I wish our weather reflected Spring, this week our temps have been 27 and 28 deg C
Odd jobs and procrastination - Yes. Sadly. But on my summer break (which ends on monday) I takled a lot of them. It feels good, right? I have no idea for your jacket. I bought a second hand leather jacket once and it smelled so bad (I didn´t notice at the store) - I could not get the smell out. I love September - I love the last warm days, I love the sunlight in September (it´s so soft), I love cozy nights, and it´s my birthday month. Thanks for sharing your calming video with us. Hugs from Germany 🌻
I'm with you on loving the magic of September, my favourite month, I take out my Autumn journal I made, and get inspired to write about the change in nature, and how I'm feeling, also because I use this month as my annual re-set of taking stock, having a good declutter and clean, starting fresh on projects I need to do...much nicer to do this now rather the dark and dismal January-thats my hibernation time! Really enjoyed this video, thank you!

Hello from sunny Arizona, USA. I'm a newbie here. Our Septembers are typically still very warm. Today it is going to 106F (41C) and up from there for most of the rest of the week. Our weather doesn't get tolerable until October and then through the winter it is cooler. We do not have much use for a waxed jacket in the desert where I live, but I did Google a website called " How to rewax and care for your Barbour Jacket " with a video that might be helpful. Love your garden.
