Hi 👋🏼
I'm Emma, an ex-Londoner with ADHD living in the English countryside with my husband Simon and our four beautiful dogs. We are child free by choice and are have been renovating our countryside home.
Here on my channel I'm documenting slow life in the countryside, home renovations/interiors, travel and my minimalist personal style.
Videos are usually posted every Sunday but you may find a mid-week bonus video from time to time x

What have we done with our Crocs that gave us blisters and shrank by 4cm I hear you ask? We use them as wedges for our beautiful Olive trees during storms 🤣

Good morning everyone!
We are now on our Christmas break so that we can enjoy the festive period and recharge our batteries. We had planned on two videos going up this week but unfortunately as I was ill last week with Norovirus those plans had to change but we will be back with a video on January 5th.
We’d both like to thank you so much for your continued support this year and wish you all the happiest of holidays and have a fantastic new year.
See you all in 2025 🎉

Hi everyone.
I'm really sorry but there will be no video today and probably not another for a few weeks.
Our little Bean become ill at the start of the week and unfortunately there wasn't anything the vet could do for him. Very sadly he left us on Friday and both Emma and I are taking some time to grieve and reflect on his wonderful little life and all the love he gave us.
I know lots of you will want to reach out and send your love to Emma. She is currently not checking her social media but I will make sure I pass any messages of love and support on for you.
Simon. x

Good morning! I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend! Sorry there’s no video today, we needed this last week to get some bits done around the house but hopefully we’ll get 2 videos up next week to make up for it 😘
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! x

Good morning everyone! How are we all doing?
I felt like I needed to write this because amongst the lovely and kind messages I’ve been getting I’ve also had a few really pushy ones demanding content about literally anything to be made to save them from boredom. Whilst I totally appreciate the boredom, we’re all in the same boat here 🤪 I have to say I’m not a performing monkey 🐒 and I mean that in the most lighthearted sense, because I know it seems harsh, BUT, it does sometimes feel like people don’t care how I’m feeling, they just want me to ‘entertain’. The pressure of feeling like I have to create content right now is the thing I’m struggling with the most.
A few of you have been asking where I’ve gone. Well I haven’t physically gone anywhere haha and did post a note on YouTube a couple of weeks ago which said I’ll let you know what I decide when it comes to a filming schedule, but clearly some people missed that 🙈 But I’m going to say the exact same in this note, I don’t know when my next video will be but I am fine and dealing with things the best I can. I’m active on Instagram on both my main account and my personal account so you can see snippets of bits and bobs over there, and evidence that I am still present on the internet super highway.
I have hundreds of videos on my channel, so maybe there are some that you’ve missed and can watch, there are lots of other videos on YouTube (millions in fact 🙊), podcasts, books, Netflix, Disney+, video calling friends & family, cleaning, going for a walk or exercise etc. etc. So whilst I appreciate you miss my videos, and it really is lovely that you do 💞, I’m sure you can all survive without them until I’m good and ready to film again.
I can’t really explain how I’m feeling at the moment, I’m mainly unmotivated and if I’m not motivated that’s not a good mindset to be in to create videos. Being on YouTube isn’t just a ‘job’ it’s my life, which can be pretty intense as work and life are merged into one, there are no boundaries, it’s unlike any other career/job. So I’m personally welcoming and enjoying the break I’m having right now but trust me when I say I’m doing my hardest to will myself 💪🏼 to get some motivation to film some videos for you but unfortunately it’s not as easy as just ‘snapping out of it’ 🙈
Right, now I’m off to listen to all the true crime podcasts you recommended over on my IG because I literally cannot get enough of them 🙌🏼
Stay safe and sending lots of love to you all 💞

Morning guys! There's no video today because I had a flat few days earlier on in the week so took some chill time watching Disney+ 🙊 I think we're all having those off days at the moment 💞
I'm feeling much more positive now but it is looking likely that here in the UK we will be in lockdown until the end of this month. This is considerably longer than we anticipated so we may have to reassess the regularity of the videos to avoid complete burn-out on our part and I'm also worried we'll run out of content to bring you guys, either during this lockdown or after 🙈 I'll still be posting stories and posts over on Instagram and I'll keep you updated on what we decide re the video schedule.
See you all tomorrow!
Stay safe xxx

Good morning guys!
For those of you who may have missed the notification on my Instagram Stories (@emmahill), we are moving our Tuesday videos back to Wednesdays. We’ve been meaning to do this for some time now as we only ever moved them to Tuesday when we did 3 videos a week, and as we no longer do 3 videos a week this evenly spaces the videos out both for us and you guys 👍🏼
My second hand shopping video will be up tomorrow at 6am (London time) and I can’t wait to show you the bargains I got (this pic is a sneak peek 😉) 🙌🏼 #secondhandbutgrand

Sorry guys no video today but I’ll be back next week. Just needed to re-charge so those creative juices can start flowing again. BUT WHILE I HAVE YOU HERE...I feel like this really isn’t getting the coverage across social media and on the news but the Amazon Rainforest is on fire, it’s now spread over the border into Bolivia and we’ve lost over 3000 square miles. I daren’t think about how many animals (many endangered) have perished not to mention the affects on the indigenous people who call this rainforest ‘home’ 😢 These weren’t accidental or natural fires, they were started deliberately as a means of deforestation. If we lose the rainforest we lose our fight against climate change, so basically, we’re screwed.
This has now become an urgent appeal so please do what you can to help, spread the word, sign the petition and donate if possible support.wwf.org.uk/donate-amazon 🙏🏼

I’m afraid there won’t be a Cornwall vlog on Tuesday, I forgot my SD card for the camera on the first day 🤦🏼♀️ and then the weather was terrible so there wasn’t a great deal of things to vlog. Sorry to disappoint x

Hey guys, last weeks vlog will be up today but it will be a bit later, more likely this afternoon. We’ve been busy with house things so sadly we weren’t able to get it finished in time for our usual 6am time this morning 🙈 Catch you all later on for that Vestiaire unboxing 😱😉
