Winter Stillness in England | Slow Breakfast | Cosy Dinner | Country Walk

Video Description

Welcome to my little home, made for slow mornings, cosy spaces, and the quiet stillness of winter days. Today, I’m embracing the calm rhythm of January here in England – a month that isn’t made for rushing, but for slowing down and making peace with a gentler pace. In this vlog, I share how I navigate the January blues through nourishing food, simple routines, and small, meaningful rituals. We’ll prepare a nourishing kale and eggs recipe — a simple, healthy breakfast nestled in greens — followed by a traditional Northern Irish beef and stout stew. This dish, simmering with over 250 years of history, is the perfect comforting dinner for a grey winter day. Humble food, made slowly and with care. Living here, you quickly learn that the secret to our damp winters isn’t just a heavy coat, but layers. I’ll be heading out for a crisp countryside walk wearing my classic British country kit — a tweed jacket, a warm waistcoat, and a baker cap — the traditional way of embracing the outdoors while staying warm and dry, and reconnecting with the land, with my dog Alma by my side. We’ll also bring a tiny piece of spring indoors by planting a snowdrop — a quiet reminder that hope is always blooming beneath the frost. If you’re feeling low on energy, remember that self-care often begins with the smallest details. Eat well, stay warm, and be gentle with yourself. 🥚 Slow Breakfast · Eggs in a Kale Nest 2 eggs 1 small bunch of kale (cavolo nero) 1 leek 2 tbsp olive oil 150 g cream 150 g grated mature cheddar (or feta / ricotta) Salt and pepper, to taste ½ tsp dried thyme Freshly grated nutmeg Sweet red pepper, finely chopped (optional) Bread, for toasting Tea, to serve 🍲 Cosy Dinner · Northern Irish Beef & Stout Stew 800 g stewing beef 4 tbsp olive oil 2 medium onions, sliced 4 medium carrots, cut into chunks 2 tbsp plain flour 1 bottle stout (330 ml) 300 ml hot beef stock 1 bay leaf 500 g small potatoes, peeled (or dumplings) Salt and pepper, to taste Subtitles are available in English and more than 20 other languages — you can turn them on in the settings to follow the story If you enjoyed this moment of calm, please consider subscribing for more slow living and seasonal rituals. #slowliving #wintervlog#simpleliving #englishcountryside #cosyhome #cosyvlog #asrm #quietmoments #quiet #comfortfood #englishhome
