I’m back in London after my little cottage break (which was both productive and properly relaxing), and this vlog is a bit of a wholesome mix: rescue cats and a massive countryside car boot. Helen very kindly picked me up and we headed to the Celia Hammond Animal Trust in Lewisham to drop off a big donation of cat food and have a little tour. We met some absolute sweethearts — Benny with his little limp, delicate Shadow fresh from being spayed, Dala (Helen’s favourite), energetic Cosmo, and Angus who’s on the mend after surgery. It was genuinely eye-opening seeing how much care goes into every cat: they’re neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, treated and properly assessed before rehoming. After that, I jump back to Somerset for some boot sale footage from Proctor’s Farm — a huge field boot sale where you really do need to “get your elbows out”. I had a proper rummage and found some ridiculous bargains: a 50p Starbucks cup, a 20p Buckingham Palace mug from 1995, a £5 Longchamp bag that just needs a bit of TLC, and a few gift-y bits too. If you love making a home you actually enjoy without spending a fortune, this one’s full of little ideas, thrifty wins, and that classic “I’m only going to look” energy.
