Vlog of a couple living in a 500 year old house in the English countryside.
English Antique Life.
my weekend routine
I think she used to do it, but before I knew it, it became my job.
The cherry blossoms in the garden bloomed again this year.
The cherry blossoms at my house are a little different, with two types of flowers blooming on one tree.
This bamboo leaf is useful
I'm pretty used to this work now.
I love the convenience of a Japanese-made electric pressure cooker that has a boiling bean mode.
After that, just leave it like this for 24 hours and the natto will be completed.
Wife: Have you finished preparing the natto?
From now on, we will be holding a cherry blossom viewing event, which is an annual event held every spring.
Wife: Come here for a second.
It's getting hard to read small text
Sakura latte, perfect for cherry blossom viewing
With that in mind, she saved the things she had received as a gift for this day.
What a gentle cherry blossom colour....
Kampai for cherry blossoms ~
Unlike in Japan, cherry blossoms in the UK have a mixture of flowers and leaves, so I feel like they don't bloom as gorgeously as they do in Japan.
That's why we sometimes find ourselves missing Japanese cherry blossoms and wanting to go to Japan at this time of year.
The cherry blossom-shaped baked goods are also slightly pink and look nice.
Although they are not in full bloom as gorgeous as the cherry blossoms in Japan, we are happy to be able to enjoy cherry blossom viewing in our garden.
Time passes very quickly, and it's been almost 11 years since we moved into this house.
Already 11 years? Is it still 11 years? It's a mixed feeling
Let's take a walk in the garden
When spring comes, various flowers begin to bloom.
Primula
Maybe it's forget-me-not?
white bluebells
She is currently expanding her vegetable garden here as well (lol).
This area seems to have been turned into a potato field.
This is Jerusalem artichoke, apparently a superfood.
This is a walnut tree. She is eager to harvest, but I wonder how many years from now.
I wonder if this is edible bracken?
This conker tree seems to be about 180 years old.
The cherry tree planted last year has bloomed.
The buds of the Greengage tree are sprouting from this place.
Every year around this time, various cherry blossoms bloom in various places in the garden.
It's not as luxurious as in Japan, but we're enjoying it.
She seems happy because the peach tree she planted last year has also bloomed.
But will the peach saplings planted last year bear fruit in a year?
If other people saw this scene, they would probably think something was strange about it.
If things keep going like this, I might be able to finish the work in a few weeks.
