Olive and Mabel's Garden - Part 2

Five years ago, I posted the first video of Olive and Mabel which then took us down a very strange path. Those videos of covid times were all far more inventive than this, but I often feel that their company is needed as much as ever. So here is another simple wander in the garden as it continues to grow this spring and we go looking for good things.

(Birds you can hear in this one: Chiffchaff, blackbird, wood pigeon, tawny owl, pheasant. And possibly a few more.)

Every garden should have a biscuit tree ... and sticks!

Thank you very much. May the biscuit tree flourish forever.

God bless you, Mr Cotter, Olive, and Mabel! These videos make a hospitalized old woman very happy! I can not thank you enough for sharing these. The smile spread across my face says it all. I do have both of your books on audio here with me, and I play them over and over!

Biscuit tree, labrador ears, magnolia in bloom, purge and primrose, Olive and Mabel- what more could I possibly ask for today? 😍❤

[shirleyn]

What a treat! ❤ I would be happy listening to Andrew read a phone book, such a lovely calming voice, and then 2 gorgeous doggies are added. Heaven

Loving this vague commentary in a Scottish accent with shots of plants, flowers, good dogs, flowers, good dogs... from a rainy Australian day 🌻

This is about the only place where no-one writes anything negative. That is no mean feat in these tumultuous times. I'm going to watch it again to listen to the birds and imagine the smell of the beautiful flowers . Cherish every moment. Thank you

Mr. Cotter, I always look forward to your videos on Olive and Mabel. You know we’re going through some depressing times here in the United States and it amazes me that animals in particular dogs just enjoy life and take each day as it comes and all they ask for is the joy and the family. Thank you so much it decompresses and distresses watching your videos. I hope you put out more videos at this time in our world events gone haywire we definitely need something of joy.

Ahhh, you found the biscuit tree!! What a good dog-dad you are! Thank you, Andrew, Olive, and Mabel for another relaxing, sweet break. Loved Olive's loud chomp for her biscuit and Mabel's tail wagging even though she is probably asleep. And, yes, Olive gets senior privileges. ♥

Andrew, Olive & Mable, thank you for the spring update.

[lynnbailey]

Thank you Andrew and the “girls” during these horrific times in US your videos bring a smile and calm!

[terribrown]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You allow us to take a moment and take a breath and look forward to something that is light. You and the girls are truly international treasures.

[bburke]

So happy to see that Olive and Mabel have staff to look after the biscuit tree. Thank you for this, and for all the videos during the covid. These happy girls kept my heart light.

[angelikadixon]

Five years already??? You and Olive and Mabel have been making so many people so happy, thank you very much!
As usual, this lovely episode is going straight into my happiness diary ❤

Mr. Cotter, Olive and Mabel, What an Absolute Delight this is today for us to view your beautiful garden. Due to vision, I have not driven since 2007...
So I really enjoy taking vicarious trips: and This is the most lovely trip through your garden yet! My now retired Guide Dog, after working in harnesswith me for 8 and a half years, watches keenly for Olive and Mabel, while I enjoyed both the plants and Olive and Mabel. Thanks Heaps for sharing your treasures.
