Genuine Living in a Filtered World | Our English Countryside Easter

In a world of digital fakery and AI-generated perfection, we’re choosing to step back. This Easter weekend in our Shropshire cottage, we found ourselves longing for the analogue memories of our childhood—back when life felt slower, simpler, and the chocolate eggs were definitely bigger. Between preparing our home to host a traditional Easter Sunday meal and taking quiet walks through the village, we’re asking the big questions: is this digital age really for us? We’re reminiscing about the nostalgic times of yesteryear and finding beauty in the unpolished, real moments of today. In this week's vlog, we also share our personal progress: Elliot is working on instilling healthy sleep habits, and Matt gives an honest update on his weight loss journey. Thank you for joining us for a slow living Easter in the English countryside. We hope this weekend brings you a little bit of analogue peace in a digital world.
