Jumping on the bandwagon, everyone is a gardener all of a sudden...seen those Aldi greenhouses on so many profiles!All this sudden gardening hysteria - why is she suddenly Monty Don?! Such a desperado
Exactly. This is precisely why I dislike her so much. She is taking the same approach as she did with cooking and baking. She knew absolutely zero about them but made videos and adverts, as though she was the expert telling the sheep what to do. She is 'teaching' us about gardening. For goodness sake. Talk about teaching your granny to suck eggs. Nearly all of her followers will have a garden and already work on it. To take a tiny example, if you are going to show us all how you are planting Dahlias, at least get it right and tell people that root cuttings will give a far more vibrant and bigger flower etc. It is all just for content and to show off the allotment that she shares and doesn't own! Very few people would plant in a rented garden unless it was in pots and she doesn't even mention this - all smoke and mirrors!All this sudden gardening hysteria - why is she suddenly Monty Don?!

I’m reading this too!I’m reading a good book called People like her by Ellery Lloyd - the main character is a very successful influencer and the story is told from her and her husband’s perspective - some of the story background brings Lauren and Col to mind and it’s very interesting to see how the influencer business works.
She had hanging baskets in her story .And primroses which only last for one season. I could understand people in rented homes planting bedding plants as they tend to flower soon after planting. ( obviously I don't see the point in planting massive trees in a rented garden cos the tenant may not be there to see it grow).Exactly. This is precisely why I dislike her so much.

Yes, she planted up Primroses but said the were Daffodils!She had hanging baskets in her story .And primroses which only last for one season.

I can also understand how people are jumping on the gardening bandwagon due to it being one of the industries not under restrictions due to lockdown.
It’s because it’s very “in” at the moment. She’s on that bandwagon with super bells on.All this sudden gardening hysteria - why is she suddenly Monty Don?! Such a desperado
She needs to drop fashion from her life as a blogger!I’m sure & Other Stories are thrilled - perhaps not quite their demographic? How to make a lovely cardigan look like something from a mid-level department store in one easy step.
It really reminded me of that era! I always forget that she’s younger than me... I feel quite cool in comparisonShe needs to drop fashion from her life as a blogger!
Again, another fashion fail from Laur. The jean peddle pushers and nude pencil heels are so 00s.
How simple is it to stick on a pair of mum jeans, some cool trainers/boots, and french tuck that cardigan in, then youre halfway to looking on trend and 30s, not the decades and frumpiness she has managed to make the & other stories cardigan into. *sigh * i despair. Get another day job Laur....
Can you imagine someone walking past whilst she poses like this?! She must be the talk of the town in Ledbury!Laur’s to do list:
Buy granny cardigan
Sit in car wearing cardigan
Aff link cardigan
Stage a photo shoot (full hair, make up and heels) to give sheep another look at said cardigan
Has she had loads of filler in her cheeks differentSo many ads with Next, her predictive has remembered it too
How have you not explodedFWIW, I don’t swear at my children or do ‘big farts’ in company (where I can help it, my husband & I don’t do it in front of each other either). I agree she’s irritating and the Blyton routine is overkill but there is a middle ground between Blyton and Waynetta Slob.

Sometimes these things cannot be controlled, right!? I for one love a bit of toilet tumour - life is too short to take ourselves so seriously.How have you not exploded
