days of winter
a few Frosty mornings came as a last goodbye of this beautiful and challenging season
the spring is about to merge
what are you making today I'm making faux oh it's a Vietnamese like noodle soup yeah it's
really nice really fresh we've got a punnet of wild mushrooms onion all the herbs and spices
miles made the soup twice now it's delicious and full of warming spices
this is the only soup I know that has cinnamon in it going out for foe is one of our favorite meals
so we are I mean miles started making it at home it's already very similar just after two attempts
I have not filmed for a couple of days and for a very good reason
drum roll today I passed my driving test really happy I can't be happier it's my first attempt
so glad I did it the weather was awful it was raining really hard I was incredibly nervous
I was shaking that nervous but luckily I managed to pass yesterday I had my last full lesson
and I told my driving instructor that I'm so sick of buying out plates I have to pass just because
I'm tired of buying the L plates but the last two weeks I've just been doing a lot of driving
um a lot of practicing with instructor and with miles and it was just very busy time
so I didn't do any filming and focus on getting this done and I did it the reason I kept losing
the L plate is because every weekend we would do a drive somewhere out of town for a longer
distance it was Mother's Day and Mars's birthday a month ago so we went out of town and we went
on Fast roads and I guess driving 60 miles an hour tying a little magnetic plate couldn't
handle it so a couple of times we came back and we lost the back one so I'm going to the car now
and I'm going to change the outlets onto the P plates
what have you done today my test you pressed your test you've now got the pleb plates on and
the loser plates are oh what we're going to do tonight to celebrate go for an Indian I'm gonna
go with the Wiz aren't we yeah that we're on the move with the Wiz talking about winter summating
how it's been comparing notes comparing notes ropes and nuts it's been raining for the last week
and it's picking up pace it's fluctuating in like the same area but it looks like another
week's worth of rain I think we should put some more water in tonight actually see if
we can before before it gets too high that we can't decant it of rain last week in a week
this week so if it carries on we might have to put the post in I was hoping we
could turn them into firework but I don't like that we're not as on we're not on as
we're not on as stable of a mooring as where we were at Henley there are posts here
but I don't trust them I've seen many of these posts wiggling in wobbling in the ground
it's been very gloomy lately for the past few weeks it feels like it just rained rained and
rained I think we only had one sunny day in the last couple of weeks it feels a little
bit Melancholy so I'm doing a few things to keep my energy up first of all I've been continuing
my runs I've been running every other day or so it's really challenging to go out running
in the rain but it's not as cold so I guess it's not that bad and I can't really go um and
do my favorite route because it's incredibly muddy and wet and yeah I don't even go there
so unfortunately I have to go on the pavement which is okay but it is not my first choice
foreign
to eat healthy and in Spring I don't normally do it in winter because I just
don't feel like doing it in winter but in spring and summer I like to make smoothies
so today I'm going to make a smoothie a green smoothie to Boost energy have some nutrients and I
feel like it does help the mood the energy levels and generally gets me through the gray weather
foreign
let's try this
really yummy love it I tried to have one a day but realistically I probably have about five a
week and I alternate between green powder and bear powder and apple and banana in
the summer I'll have some berries maybe frozen berries so just to keep it all a bit different
I'll wear another one just realized there's a little bit more left so I'm going today it's
like two tablespoons so my test was yesterday as I said it passed and in the evening we went
for dinner with the Wiz from we're on the move if you guys not watching their Channel yet definitely
have a look I'll leave the link below they gave me this card I didn't even know that you can get
cards for passing a driving test but yeah I've got one I've got a card and a succulent and a little
air freshener for the car which is really sweet so thank you guys so yesterday Mars and I went for a
drive just to drop off recycling in the nearest Village which was good that it was like a first
drive as a full driver however I haven't been in the car on my own yet Mark said yesterday that
it's important to start immediately basically so I think tomorrow my challenge is to go to Tesco's
because that's a route I've been going to and from for the last six months so I know it really well
I don't even I'm not even gonna need a SAT now for it although I might put it on just in case in
case I get really nervous or something but I know it really well feel a little bit nervous about it
um I've been told that the first drive on your own can be quite stressful I'm gonna see how it
goes and let you know I'm not going to be doing any filming obviously I probably will report to
you guys before and after we were really excited that we found water and nearby and we were hoping
that we can get water now and whenever we want but unexpectedly it's rained really heavily for
the last few weeks so the river is on red on high we can't go anywhere so we've continuously been
using our 100 liter container and filling that up and bringing it manually to the boat every
time we use it we're very grateful that we have it we're like oh we're so like we've got it that you
know we just go once and bring this container it's about 100 liters and it will last us for
three days we know you know we don't need to do any small containers or going every day or
anything like that so it's really good in that way but it's still you have to go two to three
times a week so we were really hoping that we're gonna start driving to cruising to Wood point
and actually filling up properly but it's not happening yet the weather report says that it's
going to rain for another four days at least so the river might go up a little bit more but
we don't think it's gonna need extra poles this time I think it should be fine it's interesting
because the water on a field is coming up through the ground and there are puddles already in the
field nearby well we moored so I can easily see like as soon as the river Rises the whole
field next to it is going to be flooded as well we might end up seeing the floods 12
twice this season one in Henley and one in Pangborn but hopefully it won't flood
doing something creative especially when it involves bright colors
is another thing that helps me on Gray days today I'm going to do a watercolor painting
this is a birthday card I was giving last year it's so beautiful I'm inspired to recreate it
thank you

just in time and it's getting dark now so yeah but I finished my rabbit it looks pretty awesome
it's nice and wonky um obviously but it's very colorful and I'm really happy how it turned out
so today is going to be my first drive on my own I had my first drive on my own yesterday but I went
to pick up miles from a train station because there was some train problems so it was like a
seven minute drive at 10 o'clock at night so there was no one on the road so that felt completely
fine and today I am going to Tesco and just gonna pick up some food going out properly on my own
it's not that far I'd say maybe 15 minutes I won't be filming it so I will report when I get to the
shop or maybe when I come back here so I just made it to Tesco which was about 16 minute drive
and I had a most I had a challenge on the way um as soon as I started driving
um it set it to rain but it wasn't like a rain rain it was flush flood rain
with about an inch of water running all down the road so I couldn't see
any markings I couldn't actually see anything but I went really slow
and then that went on for the first maybe seven minutes I thought oh it's gonna be a quick one
but just went on and on and on and then I got to the point where there were like Road works
and I stood there for about five minutes and the light the temporary light didn't work so
people were coming there were like three sets of cars coming from the other side
so stressful I was like first one in the queue I had to make decision what to do in
that situation oh my gosh that was stressful but then as soon as I came out of the village
it's completely dry here all the roads are dry I didn't even rain so it was fine
um as soon as I came out of the traffic light and the flashblood Zone it was completely fine
I generally feel confident apart from driving in treacherous conditions with lights not working
so I just came back so um on the way back I realized that the traffic light
was definitely broken it's stuck in Red so everyone is just going
whenever they can so luckily I went on red for the first time on the first drive and I
was really worried about it but actually it was okay because it didn't it wasn't working
so yeah I've got some food got some oat milks and the first drive proper drive on my own
he's complete I did it I did it so so good thank you guys so much for watching a massive thank you
