A 1950’s Inspired Day in the Life

Hello Darlings!
A lot of you have requested more vintage day in the life videos, so here it is!! I had a lovely vintage inspired day with James and Granny, and I really enjoyed filming the whole process. Usually, I’m not able to live like this every day because I’ll be at university or on nursing placement. So, I had a really lovely day taking my time, making wholesome meals and spending time with the chickens!
I hope you enjoy the video and I’ll see you soon,

Lots of love,
Sage Xx

Here is the Marmalade recipe:
7 small grapefruits
2 ½ cups sugar
Cinnamon and allspice (or whatever spice you fancy!)
½ - 1 cup honey (optional – I did this because my grapefruit were VERY bitter)

Method:
Peel or slice off rind. Cut away white pith from grapefruit (the bitter part).
Slice up grapefruit and rind and put in pot with sugar.
Bring to boil then simmer for 10 minutes, stirring every so often.
Add in honey and spices and simmer for another 10 minutes. Do the freezer test to check whether marmalade is ready. (Put a spoonful of marmalade on saucer and put in freezer for 3 mins. Draw a line with your finger or spoon through the marmalade and if it stays and doesn’t move back together then its ready!)
Sterilize jar and then pour in your marmalade, let set overnight on bench or in fridge. (Marmalade should last for a year in fridge if in sterilized jar).
Enjoy!! xx

l loved how you first open the windows, , when I'd spend Summers with my Nana, every morning I'd come downstairs to all the Windows being opened, with the smell of biscuits and her coffee. Another lovely video♥️♥️

What does Granny think of your vintage style? It must be very familiar to her.

[iHeartAmySue]

She’s got dimples fit for a 1950s pinup. ♥️ love it.

The nostalgia your grandma in law is feeling must be crazy!

This brought so many smiles to my face. Ive always loved learning how other people lived in different decades. Ive of course loved the fashion. This was so nice to have a nice relaxing start to my day. Thank you!

I love the better homes and garden cookbook. My mom bought all of her girls one when they got married. I've been using it for almost 40 years now. Very good recipes!

Making sweet memories with James’ grandmother! I loved when he joked about bread being too thick. I’m sure his gran remembers years where you were cutting bread super thin to make it go farther. It’s fun to see you all having winter while I’m here in the USA complaining about the heat, ha. I agree with you about tea! Always a comforting pause in the day. ❤

These are my favorite kind of videos! You could make 50 of ‚em and I’d still watch it, they’re so fun! ❤️❤️

[AllStarPrincess]

You always brighten up my day Sage! This is so therapeutic and inspired 🥰😍😘

I got weepy when you talked about breakfast with your Gran, and talking at the table afterwards. Reminded me of my Grandma! Cherish those moments!

I swear the way you wear vintage clothes, do your hair, cook and live makes me believe that your just an old soul re-living your old life in a new body and generation. Many people do (or not) believe in reincarnation and when those persons know more about a timeline, which they had never lived in, there’s always a possibility they lived in the other (or had their previous life cut short) before they could complete it. I thought I knew a lot about the 1920’s, 30’s, 40’s (and so forth) from my great aunt and uncle or my mother. Come to find out that I learn more everyday. I always consider your videos/vlogs the biggest treat of my older life. Until then, you, James and Granny stay warm and many blessings; it’s a bit warm in the Tampa Bay Area (Florida) today, where I live too. With a high of 91F/33C but with the heavy humidity it feels like 102F/39C., I could use a bit of that cool you have there. And I was raised here. 😮‍💨

Love the day in the life videos! So glad you're back to putting up content. It's funny, I live in Georgia USA and it's so weird to see you cold when we are in the 90's here! It looks like you had a lovely day and your grandmother is wonderful!

[merinashylaja]

I loved this video Sage. You are so sweet and feminine, the younger girls now must learn to be more like you. It was nice to see grandma too. God bless you all.

Good morning Sage from Northern Illinois USA. I love your videos. You have such a beautiful spirit. You inspire me.

[pamp]

Sage I do love your videos. They take me back to my childhood.. I'm 72 so I remember a lot of the styles and ways of doing things.

[melissas.]

I'm just curious...could you make a day in the life of Sage? I absolutely love your 50s style..I just wonder how you dress, fix hair, your makeup and what meals you enjoy on regular days. Much love from Tennessee ❤❤❤

[linnylionheart]

Give it up for Gran! I absolutely adore her! ❤️

[lauren]

Airing out the bed and opening the morning light are game changers

[ERICSHELLY]

So cute! Love when you are dancing! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family

[sheryldougherty]

I always air my bed before making it. Two cups of coffee, then get dressed. The bed it made then.
