Hi, I’m Vicky!
I am a 30-something dungaree-obsessed, nature lover on a mission to lead a slow and cosy lifestyle. I live in the heart of Hampshire with my husband Mike, our cat Billy and our Dachshund Winston.
For years I struggled with stress, anxiety, and feeling like I had no time for myself, but after some years of slowing down, reducing my commitments and belongings, and striving to live in a more planet-friendly way, I am really starting to feel the benefits of living more intentionally.
I hope you enjoy my videos, and that it gives you some inspiration if you are trying to reduce the chaos in your life.
Thanks for watching

Your garden is coming along nicely x
Another lovely calming vlog to watch.. Nice to see you back again💚🌿🍀 xx
Thank you! 😊 glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Wonderful to have you both back again, lovely calming vlog 💕
Aww I’m glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Really enjoyed your vlog ❤
I’m pleased.
Curvy 💯
Oh i love this, I'm obsessed with house plants, our house is like a jungle and i keep taking cutting after cutting😂 I hope you guys are well xxx
lovley vlog xx
Good morning Vicky, just catching up on your vlog lovely to see Mikey 😊 another really relaxing vlog xxx ❤
I’ve recently gotten into house plants more, I’m learning as I go along, some fails but still trying 💚
It’s all about trial and error. Hopefully we’ll both get better as we go along 🥰😂
I use Planta. It gives you a checklist of your plants to water each day based on type, size and location in relation to the window. I had the same problem before of overwatering and this really helps x
Oh cool I’ll check it out! Thanks x
Really enjoyed this vlog with the plants.. Looking forward to seeing what other plants you get 🌵😊 xx
So glad you enjoyed it! I’m sure there will be many more plants to come!
Nice to see your face popping up again, missed your vlogs xx
Aww thanks. 🥰
Welcome back, Vicky. What an absolute joy to see you, I have to say you’re my favourite content creator on UA-cam. Your videos always make me feel so relaxed and I feel like I’m hanging out with my friend 🙂 I live in Manchester, that is a long drive 😮 my husband’s parents live in the south east, I always get the train, but I really miss our creature comforts whilst visiting. I’m so happy you’re enjoying filming, I and hope you will be making more content as of when you can. Take care ❤
Aww that is so lovely Cheryl, thank you 🥰. I am always aiming to make it feel like we’re hanging out so I’m glad you get that feeling 😊. I have to say I do like the adventure of a long train journey but it’s not the same when doing it alone for work.
@@vickyruthflorence I think you’re incredibly brave, travelling alone is really difficult for so many people, you’re going to inspire people to challenge their anxieties and broaden their horizons. It’s different for me, as I have extensive nerve damage from being paralysed, so I haven’t left the house or been anywhere alone for the last 13 years, but I still feel anxious about travelling. I will look forward to seeing next vlog. The in infrequency of your content makes it so much more enjoyable and appreciated. I find that people who upload the same time and day can become so expected, you can start to take it for granted. However, when I see one of your videos I’m like wooo 🥳 it’s such a treat to be surprised. So keep doing what you’re doing and make sure you are doing it for your own enjoyment and everyone enjoying it just as much is the bonus. Thanks for replying, lovely to talk to you 🙂 xXx
@@cheryllaverton2270 oh gosh that sounds incredibly challenging for you ❤️ i hope it doesn’t hinder you too much though. It is so hard to push ourselves out of our comfort zones but I know every time I do it I am proud of myself and feel better for it. Same with anything that makes us feel anxious - it’s so important not to let the anxiety win!
Hiya Vicky, lovely to see another vlog so quickly, thank you for the book recommendations the Rachel Ward book series sound right up my street , xxx ❤
I hope you enjoy them, I love that boo series 🥰
Seeds of Murder by Rosie Sandler - a gardening sleuth. Stephanie Austin the Devon series is my absolute favourite - Juno Browne lives in Ashburton and is a home help/domestic goddess and owns and antique shop. My goodness they are so gripping and being a Devon Girl myself I love them. The Dales Detective Agency series by Julia Chapman is fantastic too. On television Rosemary and Thyme is the epitome of cosy crime. Xx
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰 so many amazing recommendations x
Nice glasses ,looking forward too watching your garden and cooking vlogs.Lynn
Loved the book talk and recommendations, thank you❤
You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy the books 🥰
Hi Vicky, so good to see you back , doing what you do best , creating lots of lovely cosy vlogs 😊xxx
Aww thank you Liz. I’m so glad you enjoy them. I don’t always believe they very good!
So lovely to see you back on UA-cam.. Hope you feeling better now. You always make such natural vlogs 😊
Thank you I’m so grateful for all these lovely kind comments. I am on the mend and feeling better for being creative x
So lovely to see you again 💕
Thank you! 😊
I remember M&S in the 1980s - probably about 1984 doing loads of Country Edwardian Lady stuff.. diaries, stationary, books, bed linen, smellies and china. Beautiful drawings. No wonder you love it so. Lovely to see you back and Billy of course! Xx
Oh that was just before my arrival on the planet but make sense as you why my grandmother would have been into it so much 😍
Omg how cute are the book nooks❤❤❤
Aren’t they! I’m a bit obsessed!
Oh so lovely to see you again❤❤
Thank you, good to be back x
I didn’t know you had changed your u tube name. Nice to see you back sorry to hear you haven’t been well.
Oh yeah haha I forgot I had done that!
I wish i cud slow down more . As always feel stressed x
It takes practice but mostly it’s important to make time for it. As someone who has struggled with anxiety for years it is one of the most important ways I have learnt to feel better
Congratulations to you both on your new home. I do hope you will all (including pets) be very happy. Thanks for sharing. ❤💛💚
So pleased it’s all gone well and your now settling into your own home, looking forward to seeing you put your own stamp on it 🏡🏠🏡❤
Thanks Samantha, settling in slowly but surely 🥰
So good to see you!
🥰🥰🥰
Yay Vicky is back, so lovely to see your beautiful new home, can't wait for all the renovation vlogs, so exciting , Sending you both lots of love xxx
Aww thanks Liz! I’m glad to be back x
Lovely to see you on here again. Congratulations on your lovely home. x
Thank you Tracey 😘
Loving your house tour I’m been catching up on your Christmas vlog love the mint chocolate you made last year.
Oh wow I’d forgotten about that! I need to go back and rewatch my own videos!
Hi Vicky congratulations on the house I’m so pleased for you both, you will have lots of memories changing and updating your home xx
Aww thank you. Yeah looking forward to the process of making it our own 🥰
Firstly it is lovely to see you back on here again, and of course congratulations on your new home together 🏡 please don’t leave it as long for the next one 💕
Aww thank you 🥰. I actually have another vlog filmed I just need to edit it
That was beautiful
Thank you 🥰
Really great to see you. I need to get back to reading,problem is i have so many youtube subscriptions that i am usually on that in the evening, it's a bad hobby😅. Oh i get those fruit packs for Reece, well they are Winders so i think a bit similarxx
No such thing as a bad hobby - just too many hobbies 😂
This is so cute ✿
Thank you x
Love your honesty - you are not alone with getting food obsessed - my current fave is lemon curd Swiss roll.....it's not good (but it is)
Oooh I used to LOVE a lemon Swiss roll 😂
You look lovely in this vlog - love your hair
Thank you! I’ve actually had a haircut since then so you might change your mind in the next video 😜
@@vickyruthflorence 😂
Loved this vlog x
Thank you!!
For clarity’s sake, the old original switch was also Vick’s but I commandeered it to play Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom with every spare waking moment! So Vick had to get a lite to even get a look in - no regrets! 😂
Loved the video, hope your having a lovely bank holiday weekend ❤
❤ Beautiful cottage xxx
Thank you 🥰
Morning Vicky, lovely vlog as always, lol am totally with you about the bra situation, as soon as I am home the bra comes off !!! Sending you and Mike lots of love xxx
Haha glad it’s not just me! X
So lovely to see you. I would love to find more games I like on the Switch. At the moment I play Mario Kart with partner and son, it is the only game i really love but need to try more❤
Oooh what sorts of games do you like? I have a whole list on my switch now. Vary rarely pay more than £9 for them and most only cost a few pounds
I have started to rub the inside of a banana skin on my face and it’s really great.
😀
My cat is strange. Not bothered about tuna but will steal kebab from under my nose! Also pulls ham out of your sandwich if you’re not diligent 🤣🤣
Hahaha cheeky monkey! I used to have another cat who loved ham but it could only be the really cheap/crap stuff 😂
Still trying to talk my hubby into it! 😢
Oh you must! As much as I complain about how stubborn Winston is, he has the best character and he’s so loving 🥰
So lovely to see you both, i really love that place, so cosy❤xx
Aww thank you. 🥰💜
Another lovely vlog.. The perfect vlog to relax to in the evening and de stress Thank you. 😊❤️.
Ah thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it 💜💜💜
