IT’S BEEN A BIT OVERLOAD 🤪recently.... From the premiere of the @smithsonian_channel TV series here in 🇬🇧 (Episode 4 airs Tonite from @boughton_house_official )
.
while at the same time covering the Prince Harry & Meghan Markle move across the pond on nearly every network available
.
to running and organising my 200 hour @wholeselfyoga Teacher Training, 30 hour Mandala + Mentoring (starting this week), 50 hour Advanced Teacher Training with @ambrasana and @manu_d93_ in early March
.
to many meetings about many more 2020 events at @mapperton_estate (2 yoga retreats included)
.
to stressing about Jack getting into @edinburghuniversity (he did!) and passing his driving test (he did today!)
.
while still teaching my regular yoga classes during the week and still finding time to fit in my own practice....
.
my body gave up over the weekend and gave me a fever 🤒 instead to tell me to slow the heck down! I listened!!! I’m now moving from the duvet at home and slipping into another one here at @gazelliwellbeing for a ZEN facial and energy healing. I’ve emerged feeling much lighter. Revived and recharged. And my head feels like it’s got some space! Hurray! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Oh, and the yoga class last night with @rocketyogini massively helped too (btw - one of the best classes I’ve ever taken in London FYI)
.
I’m going to continue with this slow down mode next week - when I’m off on a short holiday to 🇮🇹 where Jack has promised me he will speak Italian the entire time. 🤞🏻

Sprawling estates and magnificent castles dot Britain’s landscape, passed down from one aristocratic heir or heiress to the next. But life in a stately home isn’t quite the fairy tale it’s made out to be. Join me tomorrow night Tuesday 11th Feb. at @boughton_house_official as I venture through some of the most storied and remarkable estates in Great Britain. This is an all-access look at grand residences and the families who keep their histories alive.
Airing on the Smithsonian Channel On the 11th February I travel to Boughton House in Northamptonshire, one of the most well-preserved seventeenth century stately homes in the UK.
Boughton House is owned by Richard Scott, the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensbury – a distant relative of Julie’s family. This connection allows her to learn more about the Montagu family history, ahead of giving public tours for the first time at her own family estate – Mapperton in Dorset. During my stay, I discover how the house was built to encourage a visit from King William III in 1695, and learn how the Montagu dynasty was elevated when one of my ancestors purchased a noble title from the crown in 1621.
Along the way, I investigate how Boughton operates today; out on the estate, it’s lambing season and I join shepherd, Mick Johnson, to check on the new arrivals; I learn the ancient craft of thatching from Master thatcher, Nick Shields, who maintains the picture-perfect thatched cottages across the Boughton estate. I also follow In the footsteps of the 2nd Duke, to learn how to dance a minuet.
On the final day of my visit to Boughton, My husband, Luke, and and sister-in-law, Lady Jemima Montagu arrive for a family supper hosted by the Duke of Buccleuch.
