Exploring the world of mindfulness, slow-living and self-improvement. It's a journey!
Life as an introvert... to me means finding those moments for solitude and reflection, stillness and a slow paced life.
I love nature and I make it a priority to fill my day with moments of quiet.

"Wintering" At Home: Decluttering, Resolutions & The Ritual of Tea Making
My thoughts on "wintering" as I spend a slow day decluttering my shed and harvesting homegrown herbs to make my own herbal tea. I abandon the idea of New Years Resolutions... winter is a time to rest and restore. Take small tasks slowly, and enjoy the ritual of tea making, which after a day in the garden is a cozy way to wind down and relax.

Secret Garden in London • Autumn Days • Urban Gardening (Slow Living Vlog)

Autumn has arrived in England and it's time to slow down... I spend a zen November afternoon in the garden harvesting the last of the vegetables and reflecting on the recent changes in my life. An Eckart Tolle quote sums up my feelings about creating space for change to happen, and although the unknown is scary, I trust that life is unfolding just as it should. With my apartment sold, I will so...

I spent a few nights in this tiny house on wheels, in the Scottish lowlands. It gave me a taste of slow living, and a chance to think about my future move to the countryside. I'll be leaving London soon for more zen surroundings, to enjoy nature, and live a slower life of quiet and solitude. Join me for a life update from this cabin in the woods retreat in rural Scotland. #slowliving #cottageco...

What a beautiful home you made.
I wet the bed three times
😂😂😂😂😂 its so funny
All these years and I still can't get over this❤🎉
Such a beautiful space, and youve fitted in so much into it- wish you could share a plan so we can fully understand and appreciate what you've done here
I've recently moved house so starting all over again, would it be interesting to see an "in progress" update? or just wait until it's all finished?
you have a good taste, i liked every moment in the video
I appreciate that! Thank you!
Incredible attention to detail. Great apartment.
Thank you very much!
Fabulous place….
Thanks!
Very nice! The dining area with the colored triangles on the walls coordinated with the triangles on the chairs is my favorite part. ❤
Thank you! I’ve moved home now so I’m starting all over again with a new place 😂
Wow! The dark, saturated colors are so good! Your use of lighting is what really sets the spaces apart and is creating a lot of drama and interest. That laundry room is also fab. I love the trick with re-doing the grout & the bit of tile paint. I think this is the classiest, smoothest, most well produced home tour I've ever seen. Well done!
Wow thank you! Such a kind comment. I’ve just moved house so will be starting all over again with the new place 😂
sorry, just do not like 'plants' in homes...true designers don't do this, unless it's a big unique potted plant...they're just dirty and add nothing IMO
🙂🏡
New subscriber here!! Everyone on RUclips should make more videos like this! Very calming ❤
Thank you! 🙏🏻
What an absolute Amazing place to call home. Thank you for sharing 🌿💚
Thanks! Glad you liked it 🙂🙏🏻
'Promo sm' ❣️
finally a small apartment that is cozy and has character. not just a white box... nice job.
Thanks! Literally packing the place up to move now, excited to get going decorating a new place 🙂
omg!!
This video is definitely reaching the right audience. It was a pleasure listening to you, I share your thoughts about letting ourselves rest and wait through the winter and start taking action in spring. This has been the first new year I've spent without resolutions and I never realized what a stress they caused before. I am barely awake in the mornings, all my energy goes into my obligations, I am in no shape to set new goals. When spring comes, if I feel like it, I'll see what I want to change. For now, I'll settle for cups of tea and time indoors.
I love this - especially “if I feel like it”. Well said! 🌱🌼🙂
In recent years I've also found that making resolutions and starting a new year in the middle of winter made no sense to me. All of nature is still sleeping, taking it slow, and so should we ! I am resting now and will be ready to take on new things and truly wake up hen spring comes ! As nature intended.
Well said! I’m having a guilt-free restful season. When the garden needs me, that’s when I’ll wake up 🙂🌱🌼🌷
Listening to your " a day in the life" is mentally soothing. Its as if I am listening to an excerpt from a Kindle novel. You use just the right word to describe each thing you touch, pursue or consume. Poetry in motion. That is the definition of your life at this time. Thank you for reminding us how rewarding simple pleasures can be in a single day. 🫖
Thank you so much 🙂 The world is so noisy at the moment, it’s lovely to know you found it soothing, that’s definitely what I want to share in these videos 😊🧘🏼♂️
Um sir, why have that pair of pants on?
Not sure what you mean tbh, sorry!
@@duncan-carter I didn't realize my answer got jumbled. I edited. I asked it. Why have that pair of pants on? They're literally blown out from the back.
@@RoseTorn411 😂why not? cleaning out a shed isn't a glamorous job to be wearing your best clothes.
Although I think I'd be paranoid that a little creepy crawly might get in cleaning out something like my shed 😅
@@StochasticGreen surly there is a draft back there with those jeans lol.
it feels weird seeing how green and alive your garden is this time of year. i’m in minnesota and even though it’s the warmest winter i’ve ever seen everything is still mostly dead/hibernating usually this time of year it rarely reaches 20 degrees fahrenheit (-6C) and there’s like 2-4 feet of snow on the ground
Oh wow! We rarely get temperatures below that to be honest, sounds like a real winter with you! Some parts of Scotland get a lot of snow but down in the south east of England it’s rare to get more than a few days of light snow in the year. I’ve had the occasional tender plant make it through the winter some years. I bet all that snow is very pretty in Minnesota though 🙂❄️
@@duncan-carter usually it is, this year it’s all been melting in a few days though 😑 it’s an el niño this year
Hi Duncan. Really enjoyed your video, and always find your Scottish accent so calming. Enjoyment can be found in the simplest things in life as you show here, and can provide a 'mindfulness' kind of experience.
Thank you! 🙏🏻 that’s kind of you 🙂 I’m also trying to approach the whole video making process with a bit more calm (and less perfectionism! 😂) I have spent hours in the past editing the tiniest details and now I’m just trying to be a bit looser with it all 🤷🏼♂️😁
You are 100% CORRECT. The new year (according to the ancients) begins the first day of Spring, the start of Aries season. That’s when we should go full force on resolutions. They’ll actually stick! Lovely video. Lovely you.
Oh wow, I didn’t know this but it makes total sense! Thanks for sharing 🙂 (and for your kind comments 🙏🏻😊)
“I refuse to treat my life like one long to-do list” 🙌🙌🙌
so many people accidentally end up in this trap I feel... something about just taking a slow day to read and eat and potter in the garden is so much fun, especially with no real direction or things to do! ☺️
I’m a new viewer, thank you for your video to remind me that not everything needs to be rushed. I am trying to be more mindful even with mundane tasks as well. Thank you.🤗
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Ahhh always good to declutter. Did you see any creepy crawlies 🦟🦂🕷️ 🥴🥴
I did! Only one wee spider though... and a few long-dead ones 😳 generally didn't seem to be too much activity at this time of year (thankfully haha!)
Hello. You will always find peace because you listen to your inner voice. Peace and happiness to you always
thank you! :)
I’ve really enjoyed the beauty and thoughtfulness of your videos. I enjoyed the peacefulness of our recent hibernation, too, and am noticing fewer expectations and more acceptance of my life in the last ten years. As I recently read, “Go with the flow, as the flow knows where to go.”
Thank you so much 😊 And I totally agree, it definitely feels like just letting it happen seems to offer a more peaceful life of ease and gentleness, even when things could be interpreted as more stressful, generally that’s just worry about some future issue or problem that hasn’t even happened yet. 🤷🏼♂️🙂 🙏🏻
Please post your new home…loved the one in London and the gardens…I know decorating can be rather addictive…maybe you’re over it. Going off-the-grid would help me cut the cord. Blessings on your new ventures!❤
@@Donna-rw7by I can hardly wait to get decorating again, but still having lots of delays with moving to my new permanent home so it's all up in the air at the moment, but hoping I can do a "before" tour soon... then months of work to get a nice "after" tour haha
So beatiful and cozy
Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻☺️
Hi from 🇯🇵. Is this your new apartments after selling the former one? Your channel is like having the ideal friend but on internet. Beautiful apartment and reflections
Thank you so much - what a lovely comment! This is the “old” apartment (although I’m still living here as there have been a lot of delays) but I’m excited to get creative in a new place soon 🙂
@@duncan-carter Thanks for your reply. Great that you enjoy the process and the results of your planning and creativity. Looking forward to see your new apartment and how you will decorate it. Wish you health 🙏🕊🙇🏻♀️
Nicely narrated.
Thank you 🙂🙏🏻
Life definitely doesn’t go as planned 😮💨 The noise and “hustle” culture of living in a big city can def be overwhelming. Glad that you found solitude 🌳 🌲 Lastly ! I saw that you replied to EACH comment. That speaks volumes about your character 😊
I’m trying more and more to just trust that life unfolds as it should. And to take what seem like obstacles to be “redirects”. 🙂 I’m so grateful for people taking time out to comment it’s great to be able to reply 🙂🙏🏻 thank you and hope you enjoyed the video!
@@duncan-carter obstacles are definitely redirecting you to where you need to be ! And yes, I enjoyed the video. Chill vibes 😎
💕🏡💕
Beautiful apartment! You did a great job!
Thank you!! 😊
Really enjoyed watching your jam making process. Its inspired me to have a go. Love your kitchen cupboards and worktops too.
Thank you! Definitely give it a go, not nearly as tricky as I used to think 😂
Lovely video. So relax and nice.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So relaxing to watch... let us know how it tastes!
Yummy! Hehe. But not that sweet tbh!
What a lovely day :) I love making jam in the autumn, usually, but now I think I'll try doing it in the winter too 🤍🤍
It was on the to do list for all of autumn hehe, but took me a while to get round to it. Definitely seems to work well with frozen fruit 🙂 I’ll be interested to experiment with different types of sugar in the future so see how that affects things 🙂
I had a great afternoon making this little batch of rhubarb and strawberry jam, it's a great way to spend a cozy winter day! I've left the recipe I followed in the video description, but I only learned how to make jam recently so do let me know if you have any tips. 👨🏻🍳🍓
Very lovely, but the kettle under the cupboards boiling away is a disaster waiting to happen. Truly, the finish will bubble and the wood may warp.
Oh I never even thought of that - will look into it. Thanks for the tip! 🙂🙏🏻

I love that quote! 😻
Duncan is charming and I adore his touches. The paint colors are yum, the use of mirrors and flowers is double yum. An enchanting flat, I believe you call an apartment. Peace from California. ✨
Thank you for the kind comment. Glad you liked the apartment tour 🙂
You have a really lovely home.
Thank you!
Thank you so much, you have a lovely home. Well Done.
