You have so many talents, Leonora! The flapjacks look scrumdiddyocious! I really hope one day soon you have a recipe book! I'm so grateful for all the time you spent making this vlog. I would definitely love to see more recipes please. Seeing the little sausages having the time of their lives running around fills my heart with joy. They're so adorable. Have a wonderful week. Thank you ❤x
I love your channel, and I would love to see a kitchen and pantry tour with all the details.
Leonora, your love for life is so bright. We love you and your beautiful family. Your USA Family. Happiness and More Blessings.
Love watching you cook / Bake Leonora 😊 so soothing . 😂😂the Doggies having their mad half hour running over the Grass Brilliant. Watching them trying to pinch the plumbs out your Basket naughty 😜. Enjoy your plumb Flapjack have a lovely evening 🥰
The look on his face! He loved being your little plum thief 😊 I don’t like baked fruit but my husband and everyone else in this one horse town does! I will have to try this when I find some plums this summer. My mother in law will love it too they are from Oklahoma so they love anything pie or crumble. Or in this case flap plumble!
The end of summer warm days are so beautiful. I can see the dogs are enjoying them as well !
You are such a joy to watch!!! I'm American and I wish I could get on a plane and spend the day hanging out lol. I love when you post videos it always makes me happy. I had a awful day today and this video made me forget all about it watching it with a nice cup of pumpkin spice tea.😊💞
Watching this vlog was like the most calming meditation! LOVE
Being from the USA when you said flapjacks I was waiting to see a pancake recipe.😊🥞 But I love this recipe it looks absolutely delicious!😋 Thank you for sharing!

@LeonoraSmee95 Same! In the US, we’d probably call this an “oatmeal plum bar”. It truly looked delicious. Loved seeing you and your sous chefs out in the orchard and baking in your kitchen! Congrats 🎉 on reaching 20k on KZread, Leonora! Come on 50k!! I hope you plan to vlog your brother’s birthday party preparations. You seem so in your element when you are entertaining and your family really seems to excel in hosting, etc! I loved the place setting you arranged at the caterers. I guess you getting the honor of being “in charge” is down to you winning that little competition. 😂😂 Have a great week ❤❤
All I can say, Leonora, you are certainly heaven on earth to me, I thoroughly enjoyed your clog, so down to earth. The orchard, the doggies, picking the fruit then baking with it, so wholesome and wonderful, certainly made my Sunday. I really loved this one and wanted to eat all the crispy ends off of the flapjacks . You’re amazing! ❤️
Dear Leonora. When you are busy in your kitchen, I have still the feeling, that your kitchen is moving always and always going higher and higher, like the elevator in the movie StarTrek. Beam my up Scotty 😉. Greetings from Belgium.
Leonora, Leonora, Leonora! You have no idea how uplifting your videos are. I have so much on my mind and I was feeling overwhelmed with worrying about my problems. Then, you appear and take me away! ❤
I love watching you in the kitchen! But I love all of your vlogs, especially ones in and around your home!
I want to thank you for the perfume recommendation - Jo Malone peony and blush suede. Mine just arrived and I love it. ❤
It's so much fun to watch you in the kitchen! With your glamorous lifestyle, I'm impressed that you cook and love it! Do you ever make tradtional afternoon tea? That would be fun to see, especially with your lovely table settings! Thank you for another charming video!
My perfect vlog the orchard the adorable sausages and your cooking perfect 😊❤
Oh gosh what a dream!! Your land and orchard is a dream world. I didn’t even know one could be so blessed. Good on you Leonara 🎉
I love that you are so many things in one person! You are obviously a great cook and baker, a model, an influencer, and on top of that, you are beautiful. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you for doing them. From Minnesota, USA -- blessings on you!
You are a breath of fresh air, i could listen to you all day, what a truly wonderful person you are, your life is stunning ❤
Dear Leonora Who looks after your wonderful sausages while you are away?
The flapjacks sound like they would be good warm with ice cream. Do you use most of the fruit in the orchard?? There is such an abundant amount. Thanks so much for sharing.
Simply scrumptious! Thank you Leonora. Love the dress and the adorable sleepy sous chefs and the hilarious zoomies!

Thank you so much! 🤍
Nothing better than watching your cute fur babies follow you around the orchard. Your place is absolutely beautiful. Truly, heaven on earth. You are very blessed and deserve every bit of it.
OMG! I could literally spend days into the nights in that kitchen! Never come out! Why would I? What a dream! Love the McKenzie Child pots and thingies! Goodness! This is what I enjoy: Girlie things, lots of doggie talk, orchard walks, scrumptious food, and more of that English countryside content! 🤩❤🙏🏼
I love your positive energy. And i love these home videos. And the love you give your 🐶😍. Thanks to following Josie I’m following you. And now you are on my top KZread and IG . Thank you for giving us good vibes
Hello Leonora , loving your vlogs especially the cook alongs x please please do more entertaining ones where you cook for dinner parties ....... Many thanks Catherine xxx
Hi Leonora, so cute to see the sous chefs having a quiet little doze after a hard day's plum collecting in the orchard. Speaking of plummy-ness, yes please do ignore the naysayers and the negatives and just go on being yourself. I've had a few comments about my accent, but my husband is from Liverpool and we are frequently in absolute hysterics trying to mimic each other, so who cares! The pinny is so sweet, what a lovely present. xx
I so very much enjoyed this. You would make a great cooking presenter on tv replacing the rather over the top cringey presenter they have. What a natural sunshine girl you are . Your parents are blessed. 🥰👍❤️
You just ooze happiness and it’s so infectious! Great recipe. Chocolate brownies next? X

You are such a breath of fresh air and so entertaining to watch and listen to, as well as educational! Love your lifestyle! And your interactions with your dogs are delightful. Your family is wonderful, too. Love your vlogs! And I’ve bought some Charlotte Tilbury products featured on one of your vlogs, so I’m sure your sponsors are happy with you as their ambassador! Keep up your great work! Blessings!
Would like to see you cook other meals and sweets. Loved the orchard picking of the fruit too. You are so lucky you can walk barefoot in the orchard and garden. Loved your pinafore too. And nice to see you doing a floral arrangement from flowers from your garden too.
What a lovely, cosy video, even better than your wonderful content, the uplifting comments full of affection. You have created a little sanctuary of love and respect amongst your community, bravo for that ❤

Only my third video of yours that I have watched and I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying..I live in the Southern part f the USA ,and our days are beginning to get cooler, Fall decorations as in Pumpkins,Mums etc are a big big thing here soon,do you all do Fall decorating there ,again Thanks 🍁🍂🍃
Started with ZOOMIES ended with YUMMIES! ❤Another Leonora classic! Yes everything in moderation …. Including moderation! Fresh fruit in a home baked dessert, what’s not to love!! Now I must say, here in the US a “flap Jack” is a pancake. So I guess here we’d call this a , cobbler, no a well whatever ….a fabulous-plum goody! Maybe with some vanilla ice cream, crème fresh! Yea! Perfect for a cup of tea! Excited for the bday party you’re planning, the photo shoot upcoming ! The whole shebang (a Leonora word!) Thank you, thank you and yes please keep baking and cooking ! I must tell you I am now completely used to the flashing kitchen lights, and I don’t notice them at all anymore just your beautiful, smiling self!!! Yay! Much love as always ! See you soon!❤
My heart belongs to hydrangeas ☺️
We love you!!!🎉🎉 Hope you are celebrating!!! (ADORE your sausage pups too!!😘)
Such a heavenly Autumn vlog. I can practically smell the cinnamon… Enjoying your channel so much Leanora. Well done 🥰
Hello, New subscriber here! I’ve been enjoying your videos. Watching your sweet sausage dogs running around & playing made me giggle! 😊
Hi gorgeous 💕 you are just wonderful! I can watch you all day long! What a wholesome vlog. I shall try to make this myself. My mouth was watering watching you devour the flapjack. I appreciate your dedication, love, warmth soo much. You have no idea how zen your videos make me feel. Love and well wishes always…. X Nahed ❤
This is a beautiful video, such a beautiful atmosphere in this video. Everything here is done masterfully.
Gorgeous gorgeous vlog thank you. Will you be doing vlogmas this Christmas? I think you would smash it!! 🥂xx
Hi Leo, I agree with everyone who is suggesting that you be our Blonde Nigella. You have a real gift for showing us how to cook something, just like a TV cooking show host. It’s really uncanny. Thank you for sharing such a lovely day in your home with your furkids 😊
What a bueatyful day in England enjoyed going through your orchid its bueatyful. And seeing you make that delicious sticky plum flap jack, it really looks delicious. By the way that apron suits you so well.Your cute little doggies are adorable. I really enjoyed this vlog. Thank you Leonora.
As the saying goes...you can only be yourself, everyone else is taken!! We love you just the way you are Leonora and especially with a pinny on!! Thank you for the recipe, we shall be having a go with some tweaks here there for food allergy/intolerances but basically the same. Really want to see you make the pear anc dark chocolate crumble you mentioned. Sounds delicious 😋 Much love 😘
Can't wait to see Josie try this recipe 😊❤. Looks delicious 😋
😍 thank you for this delicious content ❤

You make the BEST food! What a great way to use plums! My FAVORITE youtuber!
A slice of flap Jack heaven...I have said it before that if the powers that be ever want a replacement for Nigella,they couldn’t choose anyone better than you Leonora,not as her understudy,because you can truly hold you’re own,your garden is an outstanding beauty,unique like your beautiful classy self,you have great communication skills engaging a comprehensive step by step informative guide,whilst creating this delicious looking bundle of baked goodies,all in your own way & style of course. Have a good day & a great week just ahead.Wishing you all the very best in all you do as alway’s.X
Leonora that was a fantastic video, your enthusium knows no bounds, enjoyed it immensely.. will certainly give your plum flapjacks a go xxxx😘😘
Hi Leonora, I watch you every chance I can. You home and especially your orchards are breathtaking. You have taste and style in whatever you do. I can’t wait to see your finished villa in Spain. Ciao MaryAnn from Canada
Congratulations on reaching 20k! I was wildly conservative when I predicted you’d reach 20k by Christmas…..

Wow Wow Leonora what a pretty pretty vlog and I am so so excited to watch this vlog you are my inspiration and I wish you have a beautiful weekend💖🙂💫
Hi Leonora, enjoying the channel and the sausages. Your orchard looks like it needs some hard pruning and soil nourishment. A feed of fish, blood and bone meal and a good dose of horse manure in order to get a really good crop next year.
