Scottish viewer here, very much appreciating your video from Edinburgh. Thank you xx

I love that Mum/Donna wore a top of tartan cloth for this episode celebrating Burns Night and Scottish writers.

Hello Miranda and Donna. Thank you for sharing such beautiful Scottish poems and excerpts. My maternal grandmother's family came to the USA from Scotland and I have always been drawn to all things Scottish. The marmalade pudding looks so good. I think my husband may be going out to the store later and I am definitely adding a jar of marmalade to the list. Have a wonderful weekend..... Crystal.

Hey!!! Miranda and Donna, 👋🏾..,,I was so happy when I saw a new Tea Reads...I’ve never in my life had marmalade but I’ve had plenty of peach preserves and strawberry preserves living in the South in the US and I love them both but now I’m going to try marmalade..That Marmalade Pudding Cake looks delicious.🍰, I wanted you to keep reading Paddington 😂😂😂(THE BEST!!!!) I love Paddington, I have a Paddington bookmark that I purchased from Waterstones and I treat with special care 😂😂 (and it’s just a bookmark)....and the silliest part about my love for Paddington is that I’ve never read the books only seen the movies...watching your videos always sends me on a book buying adventure of books that wouldn’t otherwise be on my radar whether I’m familiar with them or not...Thank You🥰

I love listening to you and your lovely mother, thank you for all the comforting readings, so well read, for the recipes and ultimately, for all your videos, Miranda. I have recently bought The magic apple tree, it is a beautiful book, I read it slowly, I am afraid that my English is a little poor, but I adore it and I like to learn.

As a Scottish viewer I really appreciate your readings of Burns and the other Scottish stories! Your Dundee marmalade jar is very pretty. Dundee was famous for producing marmalade, not sure if they still have a factory there but the reputation remains. Love Paddington! Always a favourite. Many thanks again and I hope you are both having a lovely weekend x

Hello Donna and Miranda, I absolutely adored this episode of Tea Reads as I love all things Scottish. The pudding cake looked so tasty and the readings you chose were so enjoyable. Scotland has played such a large part in my life since I first started visiting there as a teenager pony trekking (Montgomery's grandson was in charge of us 'futile females') and I really would urge you both to explore as many parts of it as possible - you have evoked so many memories for me, how do you always seem to do that! I am so looking forward to your Scotland inspired reading choices. Take care both and enjoy your weekend and Burns Night, Teresa ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥮📚 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

I love your tea reads and baking Fridays! Thank you Miranda and Donna!

Hi Miranda and Donna I have been catching up with your last two videos while watching it snow this afternoon, such wonderful Dramas I think I will be watching some of these over the next few weeks if the weather stays cold and with nights still being long and dark. When I saw you were making marmalade cake I smiled remembering my father who loved to cook, he used to bake marmalade cake but he called it giggle cake the reason for this was he told me when I was a little girl if I had some it would make me giggle as it had whiskey in it. Still one of my favourite cakes in the winter. Thank you for such wonderful content and books to add to my list Janet 💕

Hello I just found your channel and I love it! You have a have a beautiful relationship with your mother. It's such an uplifting channel. It's a wonderful remedy and escape from the stresses of life. Thank you so much!❤

So lovely to learn more about Burns night and I will definitely try the marmalade pudding, thank you!☺️😋✨✨✨

Nigella's recipes are so reliable. Have you tried her sticky toffee pudding? It's fabulous and so easy to make in the food processor. Love the Tea Reads with your mum. So lovely x

Love your weekly vlog from your kitchen and fireside essential weekend viewing. Have a good week x

Thank you Miranda & Donna, the marmalade pudding cake Yum! I’m going to make this as I have Nigella’s cookbook. But not today! It’s very hot today here in Australia. My poor husband would pass out if I lit the oven!🥵 I absolutely love my copy of The magic apple tree by Susan Hill. I love your little tea set your using today - very cute... ❤️🥀🥀

Wow! That looks so delicious. Love you two so much. We always get a giggle too. So looking forward to your Monday video xx

That cake looks scrumptious! Oranges were my favorite fruit when I was young, so I could never quite understand why I didn't (and still don't) like marmalade. Even the sound of it, so much more melodious than jam or jelly. But I do enjoy it in baked goods. "They're not used to having to queue." I laughed at the image that conjures of impatient, flustered birds. Thank you, as always, for the delightful short reads and the time by the fire.

You would both love the Highlands and Isles of Scotland. As a family we made the trip once a year for a weekly holiday. May is the absolute best time to go. Very lovely people and scenery.

Hello Miranda and Donna, thank you for this video and I had to laugh when Miranda read the Paddington story. It was so funny! Have a good weekend😘

I love your tartan dress, Donna. My husband and I got married at Gretna Green over the anvil! It was so romantic, our minister was wearing tartan trews, too. We have fond memories of interesting places nearby, like the Samye Ling Buddhist monastery and Tibetan centre. The Lockerbie memorial gardens was also quite a poignant place to visit. I love Alexander McCall Smith's Edinburgh books filled with lots of interesting quirky characters. Must get back to Scotland.

I just adore the videos with you and your mum.

Crofter and the Laird is on my soon TBR list! Ah! And Paddington with his marmalade sandwiches!! Love it.

💗🥂👋🏽Slainte for Burns Day!

Such a cozy video. Thank you both. ❤️

Oh my gosh, my paternal grandmother was Scottish and her last name was Reid. She was born in Edinburgh and came to the US when she was only one. My paternal grandfather was also Scottish. I would love to visit there some day. I’m afraid I don’t care much for marmalade either although I would probably like the pudding cake. I also loved the readings tonight that you and your mother shared with us. Have a wonderful week❤️

And Nan Shepherd enjoying a new wave of interest? Hurrah!

I made Seville Orange marmalade last year for the first time and loved it so much, I am doing it again this year. I do not care for marmalade usually but homemade is completely different. If you want a good Haggis Ramsays of Carluke have online shop and are the best. I loved your book choices yet again, beautifully read xx

Thank you Miranda and Donna! I adored the Ruby Ferguson Jill books as a child and the extract from Lady Rose and Mrs Memmary was delightful - I think I will have to track down a copy of that!

Thank you for this wonderful video. I can't wait to make this cake.

Please tell me one, or both of you, runs your finger round the bowl off camera, your mixes look so scrummy, I don’t know how you manage to resist it 🤣 Local Hero, such a classic! Always amazed by your reading choices, you’re both so good, Paddington though, what can I say, what an inspired read 😍

Oh, I've made marmalade buns before, but this sounds delicious 😋. I think I'll give it a try at the weekend! Really enjoyed this like always. Thank you 💞!

I know that I speak for all Americans here 😉, we all have 8 or 9 inch square pans for our brownies and cornbread (although cast iron is used for the latter, too).

Oh Paddington! I have so enjoyed your video today after just having consumed my own breakfast of toast and homemade marmalade.

Hi Miranda and Donna! Loved your cheerful faces and uplifting video today - yay! Your marmalade cake looked absolutely yummy. I made a batch of fudgy brownies yesterday, but now I want to bake a cake! lol. Were those Persephone napkins you were using? I've been dying to buy myself a set. Maybe I'll buy the napkins and the Lady Rose book at the same time. Loved that passage about Lady Rose's bedroom. So sweet! It really reminded me of the Little White Horse, too! I could read books describing bedrooms, kitchen and food every day of the week - my favorite. Many warm and cozy winter hugs from New Hampshire! xoxoxo :D

The marmalade pudding looks so tasty and thank you both for the book readings😃

What a lovely episode !I just adore lil Paddington . Used to read his books to my son and we used to have such a lovely time going to his world! Thank you for such a fabulous job reading from. The first thing which we did when we were in UK was to go to Paddington station and buy a Paddington bear! The pudding looks yummy!🙂

Thank you both..so beautiful ❤️

Enjoyed this very much. The cake absolutely made my mouth water. Yummy. Thank you ladies for sharing your books and baking. ❤️

Lovely video Miranda & Donna. The marmalade cake looks delicious! The Susan Hill book is a favorite of mine and I’ll have to look out for the Ferguson. Of course every night is Burns night in this house! Haha!

Just watching this video and wondering how pudding cakes are not a thing in the U.S...🧐 Custard or cream? Sign me up! 🍰

Oh Miranda! How can you not love marmalade? It's the only thing I have on toast, jams are too sweet for me. Especially a chunky peel one like the Tawny one by Wilkin & Sons on sourdough toast and a cup of tea is the dream, like eating sunshine. And is that a Keiller Dundee earthenware pot for your daffodils I can spot? Loved this, gx

Please tell your mum I got A Nest of Magpies by Sybil Marshall based on her recommendation and love it. I bought it 2nd hand but it is a clean readable copy.

I’m going to make the marmalade pudding to go with our Sunday lunch looks so yummy.

Wow this is looking good Miranda and mum:) ❤️

I love watching you both! You both have the cutest laugh almost exactly the same! So I'm curious, your mum talks so fondly of your dad. He lives in the states? Also do you have any siblings? Thank you!!! : )
