🌿 A Slow Spring Day in Hampshire | Mindful Living, Cottage Life & Seasonal Cooking 🌿 Welcome to a peaceful slow living day in the English countryside. I live on the coast but surrounded by rolling green hills and woodland — a perfect blend of sea breeze and rural charm. In this vlog, I invite you to join me for a calm, intentional day in the heart of Hampshire, filled with nature, simple pleasures, and cozy moments at home. We begin the morning with a healthy breakfast made with local strawberries, natural yogurt, walnuts, and cinnamon. Then we head out to explore the magical rural village one of the most pretties village in Abbotts Ann — a charming spot nestled in the Test Valley. You'll see our quiet walk, thoughtful reflections on slow living, and a visit to a local pub for a few Spanish-inspired tapas. Back at home, I cook a wholesome brunch: poached eggs over savoury chive pancakes, topped with homemade hollandaise sauce This recipe is a heartfelt tribute to my family in Spain. And to end the day, a comforting seasonal dessert — a strawberry tart with almond pastry and lemon curd. . Throughout the video, I share mindful living tips, talk about embracing slower rhythms, and how to cultivate beauty and joy in the everyday. 🫖 Whether you're here for the recipes, the calm countryside scenes, or a dose of inspiration — I'm so happy you're here.
