Hi Fran & Rich It’s Phil here from Glass Roots Cornwall. Wow thank you for the mention. Well chuffed. It was a pleasure to meet you both at Crick. As for the glass, it can also live outside as well as being inside. (Gives you more options) Loving your garden! Philip & Emma

Eggs and chokolade sounds like the start of a new baking session I guess, chokolade cake is fantastic.

I think I've commented before, but I'm going to comment again, I absolutely love your choice of music ❤

Good to see you again

Your videos have the canals, life with its ups and downs and history of where you are. Seeing the countryside as you walk on errands or sightseeing brings out more of England. One thing that is here on your walk , and it has been in others , is the path goes across private lands and public with full right of way. Here in the US, we would have to go around . All the best, Hal

Hi Hal. Glad you are enjoying the videos. We are very lucky to have a network of public footpaths all across the country giving us access to walk through farmland.

I know it is a bit old news for y'all but I am glad that Jess is responding to the meds well. I'm always appreciative of what ever number and kinds of videos you do but I wouldn't mind some more foraging and cooking with Fran segments :)

Hi - Your glass gift - Why not frame it with Oak into a kind of shallow box (1" deep), put an "LED light cable" (very thin strip light) right around inside in a routed groove, then plug it into 12v and you will have a lovely wall light. Another thing....Don't be envious of electric narrow boats, because part of the joy of the narrow boat is the chugging diesel, and may I say the older the engine, the better it sounds! Also, near tight corners the other boat can hear you coming. Or if you buy an electric boat, get yourself a fog horn!! I like your boat, it is a work of art too!! Lovely! All the best John

Nice idea about the glass John. Also I tend to agree about the engine noise. I love the chug of an old engine and just like electric cars, it is not always good if you cant hear them.

Beautiful views!

I so enjoyed this vlog. You packed a lot of stuff in it. I wasn't sure about how your new lifestyle would translate to a vlog, but...CONGRATULATIONS!..it's absolutely riveting. Thanks as always. I love your garden. I love the foraging. I love your lifestyle.

I agree please more recipes from Fran. I know she only does one once in a while but inso enjoy seeing her recipes too! Even when she shows her making lunch or dinner or something.

We are so sad. Sad because your video's are far too short. We could sit and watch your walks up and down the Pennines, to the farm. Seeing what is behind each little door 🤔 What a fun adventure - will there be eggs, will there be chocolate? It's so good to see Jess romping around and having a good time sniffing here and there. I think I need the same medication so I could romp around, too. 😂 Can you imagine, wild raspberry bushes and strawberries, too. What marvelous jam is in store for Christmas giving and stocking up the cupboard. I had to laugh when Rich said, 'of an age'. You two can't be nearly as old as we are. We're in our middle to late 70s and dream of being able to walk the miles you both have traveled. 🙌🏼 Fingers crossed next time you'll share what is happening in and around your garden. Be well, take care and keep filming ~ love & hugs, Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾

Oh my goodness, beautiful. Because of illness/caretaking, my husband & I can't really travel. We live in a city (albeit with a garden), but we're both from small towns originally. So many of your videos are like walks we would have taken... noseabouts we would have enjoyed. Just lovely, really.

Sorry to hear that, I hope our videos bring back some happy memories for you

More videos of you two foraging, cooking, gardening and a bit of travel. I follow a few Narrowboats and when they stop videos I have to remove them from my great canal maps. You were still hanging on I was waiting to see if you left too. So happy to see you back on. They only thing I bet Fran would like added is a bath tub.

Hello! I am the same!! I get it people overload and yes I understand when you have a quieter life. I am like that after people days, I have to have a quiet me only day and yes "neutral" I agree with others more videos would be lovely IF you would like! So lovely to see you again. Go Haven Locks! I love Laura Masie the best but nice additions on the new ones

It's over already? I could watch you two all day! Rich, I hope your ankle heals up for you, and Fran, I'll be watching closely for your " hunting/gathering", as my dad called it, videos. I love natures' sweet, sweet bounty. Oh, and I'm glad Jess is doing better. I think I'll watch it again. Take care. xx

One reason i bought this house...it had a nice sized bed of rhubarb. Lol..loved the field/ nature shots . Reminded me of days gone by whenvi didnt look for every garden weed etc. By the way as far as the ankle Rich , come up with your own exercises and stretches fir your ankle. It will be worth it. When i hurt my knee i went to therapy and didnt get any exercises from any of the people there that helped. So i made up my own that looked like i was going to go downhill skying and they worked. I have been trying to remind myself to do them thru the years and bpno more problems and its been almost 45 years.

Yeh , Rich, take some omega 3 fish oil supplements or eat lots of oily fish to help your joint/tendon problems and I have broken my left ankle which isn't too bad but my right one struggles after "spraining" it more than once. I'm glad that little Jess is doing well and I hope that you are all doing well and having a great time in this lovely sunny weather. Take care and all the best. Stevie

As always a bright spot in the week. Another wonderful look into the perfect way to live.

It’s always nice to get home to your own comforts. Your coal scuttle with the little shovel is adorable. Farm fresh eggs are the best find these days and they usually have a richness often missing in eggs now. Poached egg on a toasted crumpet for breakfast. 😋

Hi another great vlog Rich many years ago I was running and fell over and I pulled a tendent in my shoulder the pain was unbelievable and the doctor said it would have been better if I had broken it as it would heal muck faster keep safe and well cheers Barry Victoria Australia 🇦🇺

No RICH! you do not want a break as they love putting metal plants in and in the heat and change of weather people having an awful time with pain and discomfort. I hear you thou I did my ankle and I have my wrist and its a nightmare long time, just lots of arnica cream 4 times a day & strap up for weeks and lots of stretching. One of the best things I did Rich at the time I was swapping my Full Body Reiki for a full body massage with a friend who had reflexology etc, maybe try and get a serious of massages and they can focus on it and loosen scar tissue that's the big problem also they can give you stretches and exercise. I have no problems now. I am 61 so similar age. *Also you get compensation on your other side from protecting the injured side highly recommend some full body massages, 3 is good to help the whole body back on track. Wishing you swift healing.

It is always a breath of fresh air to see the two of you. I am delighted to see Jess doing so well. I actually did break my ankle many years ago and it was no picnic (plate and 8 screws). While that was a lovely gesture to gift you the plant, I must confess that years ago when I grew up on my stepfather's farm, rhubarb grew all over the place. Perhaps it was my stepsister's method of preparing it, but to this day I'd rather gnaw off my arm than ever eat it again. Leigh
