Just thought I'd mention, after a few comments on the topic, that my partner and I both work remotely (me as a photographer, creating imagery for brands, and Alex works in software). More and more people are finding this kind of lifestyle possible after remote work became more common during/after the pandemic ☺
Have you thought of investing in a drone to capture all the stunning Welsh countryside? You don’t need to reveal where you live, just pick and choose on your travels. Apologies if you already have, just caught up with your channel today. Subscribed, liked and wish you well. Carmarthenshire is absolutely beautiful too.
So happy to have found you. Recently, my darling husband passed unexpectedly, and seeing the two of you so young and in love made me feel happier and hopeful that, with the change of seasons, my life force will gain strength. Glad you invited me.
That last line ‘I’d always like to remember when the feeling of being lost arrives at my door, to trust in the wild places to bring me back to myself. It works every time’ 😍
@@cerridwencottagediary9194 I think it was wet all over the U.K. this year, but it does give me some reassurance that so many are saying it’s been a lot wetter than normal! And thank you so much 🩷
Codswallop I have driven around Snowden(not Guinness Mont or whatever the local tongue says) three times and all I saw was mist, then, when entering shops, the locals turned away, refused to engage and started speaking in the local patois with a malice that was palpable. I am far from the only foreigner who has experienced that there.
@@terencefield3204 I've been to Eyri / Snowdon in all weather (sun, rain, mist and snow) and it's always glorious. I'm sorry you didn't find any friendly faces, that hasn't been my experience of Wales at all. The Pembrokeshire residents are some of the friendliest people I've ever met, without fail!
I started crying when the cows that were closest to you turned their heads up so they could face you, and at the same time. for some reason I found this so beautiful.
I live in pembrokeshire , out in the country with no close neighbour and I love it. I have a large garden and love being out their. Now at 70 I'm on my own but would never move.
if you get dementia you would need to move, or if there are no public transport links and you dvla don't allow you to drive anymore. My cottage is on a farm but it is near a bus stop and trains. I don't have a car because I don't want one. I want to be more prepared in old age. If I have dementia I will have to move too
My gran had a saying, the gist of which was that the difference between living for the little moments and the grand ones is simple. There are bound to be millions of little ones, and only a handful of the grand. We all know the grand ones when they come along, so you don’t have to worry you’ll miss out on them. But true living is embracing all of the small moments. That's where you’re most likely to find yourself. I missed a lot when I was younger, because I was sure that I, the globe trekking, big moment seeking wanderer, had it right. I didn’t. So glad the two of you are living the small, truly extraordinary moments together, and sharing them here as well. Enjoy!
Thank you for this beautiful comment, it gave me goosebumps, it was so lovely! I was also a big-moment seeker in my early 20s, I think it was the pandemic that finally helped me to appreciate the everyday stuff too ❤
My grandparents had a Welsh name, yes,I live in rural Scotland, I absolutely love everything about it! I've got chickens, sheep& lambs in field at back, a hedgehog that visits every night,bats flying at dusk, pheasants all around,deer, its so tranquil & relaxing
I'm from Cardiff, and I've always lived in a city my whole life, but lately I've been yearning for the countryside. I'm done with the hustle and bustle of the city, I really want the peaceful countryside. This would be a dream for me.
I'm American and my ancestors left Pembrokeshire in the 1630's for the new world. It doesn't look like it's changed very much! Incredibly beautiful. Good luck!
@@colinpotter7764 OMG! How exciting! My family name is "Bowen" and the earliest ancester was Richard Bowen who went to Massachusetts. I would love to participate. Can you please post the link? Thank you so much!
@@trudymeans3520 just search for the Dyfed Family History Society, Dyfed is the old name for the area before the Normans changed it. I have Bowen’s in my family tree!
I’m finding life here in the U.S. daily more unbearable and unbelievable although I’m born and raised here. Your beautiful vlog brings me mental respite from the burnout I feel watching my country self destruct. I’m older now and I have animals too, so I fully appreciate your love for yours. If I knew how to make life happen in Wales for us, I believe I’d do it.
I live in the rural U.S., West Virginia. I wouldn't even know there was turmoil if it weren't internet news, which, I believe is the point, but my point is that the majority of the U.S. is normal people trying to live a more honest life, back to basics, and finding happiness in the interim, like this lovely young couple in Wales.
@@jamikatechaos9972Would you recommend living there? I am moving back to the US next year after many years away. I work remotely from a tiny home in a big city and rarely leave...I see friends a few times a month but honestly love my alone time. I've been trying to decide where to set up in the States but it's so vast that it's hard to choose (hometown is in FL and I don't think that's a wise call, as much as I love it).
“I’d like to always remember that when the feeling of being lost arrives at my door to trust in the wild places to bring me back to myself.” I love this. So grounding and so true. Thank you for those words. ❤
This video has filled my soul in such a way. I cried watching the cows and the birds and the flowers and the beautiful stillness of the damp and rainy and foggy days. I too have been in a place of rain and calm and felt the need to shake it up and move away to feel alive, but your video has giving me a perspective I truly needed. Thank you.
I relocated to Wales 4 years ago, and the relentless winter grey does take bit of getting used to! This winter was particularly long and wet, but I now structure the bulk of my work to those dreary months, and take the lighter months off. The late spring and summers here are lovely, but it is definitely an adjustment. Lovely video!
@@KayeRobs that’s an interesting idea! I have always tended to take the winter months off because of low energy, but then felt sad to work all through summer. Maybe I’ve been doing it wrong! And I completely agree, the summers are gorgeous, and can’t complain about how green everything is! Thank you ☺️
I do creative stuff in the winter (spinning/dying fleece/weaving/decorating) and now I'm retired doing lots of vanlife and gardening and doggy walks to the beach. You do get a bit lazy when you have no deadlines about I'm enjoying it thoroughly after 44 years at work. Enjoy the slower pace my lovelies. It's better for your health.
This video is the best. I am from South East Wales, just sold my house and bought a bungalow in Pembrokeshire. Been my dream to move there for 2 years. Your video has just made me even more excited to move. Thanks for posting!
I am a new subscriber and I need to say “More please!” This was such a beautiful and honest episode. A true treasure that I’ll be watching several times. Thank you for sharing these moments with us.
Last November I moved from Sheffield to a small village in Scotland, was without a car for 7 months. Thank you for this video, it's made me realise so much about how I've been feeling.
This little film was beautiful, my hubby and I have moved to a cottage in the countryside and I still get mesmerised by the scenery and nature at it's best, I was ill and it healed me, especially watching the birds and the first time hearing an owl hooting, seeing deer and foxes, total bliss 😊 ☺️ 😊
Oh, hearing the owls hooting is such a big one for me! We love watching them swoop over the fields at dusk. I'm so glad your slice of countryside healed you ❤
Love this video. I'm an American who lived/studied in Carmarthenshire for six months during college and still miss it to this day. Thanks for helping me visit Cymru vicariously until I can make my way back there again.
This video was good for my soul! Thank you!❤🙏 I live in Nevada and we have sunshine nearly everyday, the sun is relentless here. Seeing your gloomy days makes my heart sing!🌷
I’ve just found your channel. What a beautiful house you moved into. That big window and the deep window sills are so cosy. The Pembroke coast is so lovely. Your video made me have a tear or three for all the things that make me homesick. Beautiful trees, animals in fields rugged coastlines the Dawn chorus, beautiful little towns. To live remote you need more cats!! I now live on a small island on the Atlantic coast of Canada, Fairly remotely, 2 hours for a big shop. I love it. I don’t miss people. I watch the deer, pheasants and eagles flying over, I embrace the little things every day. A pretty cloud, the change in colour of the ocean, the different wild flowers. I try and embrace the best of the seasons every day, whatever it may hold. I miss my family and friends and go back to visit England. I miss the quintessential Englishness of things so much but it’s so busy, fast paced, people aren’t always friendly.
Thank you so much for this comment - your life sounds so peaceful and beautiful, I've always wanted to visit Canada. We like the birds too much for more cats, my house cat has already started venturing outside to try and catch them 😂 You should visit pembrokeshire one day, people here, as a rule, are aaaaalways friendly, and the pace is nice and slow ☺
An amazing post! Love the ocean views and the pizza oven! Best to do outside cooking now since I expect winters are cold and windy! In studying abroad in London a life time ago (I was so broke) I visited two places: Oxford and Wales. Went to Brecon Beacon park, the grey beach, loved the moors and sheep painted with blue dots! Best, from Colorado!
Ive lived in pembrokeshire near saundersfoot for 23 years on an ex farm so im familiar with your experiences. I found friendships through yoga and karate! Join a group or classes.....Narberth (a village feel small town) has alot of great things going on and is a bit bohemian. There's gigs, comedy club, singing groups plus lovely cafes and shops. I live opposite a beautiful little 13th century church and have met and been supported by a small congregation. I have plenty of family...your age too..teachers... moved here aswell so if you need a cuppa or a curry night let me know. Love and blessings x
I have just found your site, and am enraptured by it! I shall binge watch your videos. I myself have moved from a large city to a very rural location. It fills my heart and soul with peace and happiness. I wish you the same xx
Lovely home and property. I ❤ the landscape and seascape. The isolation would weigh on me unless I had a ton of books, great music and dvds to watch.....oh, and an Amazing Man to share it all with 😂😉😂.
Growing plants in boots seems like a nice idea as rainbows soon arrive after that. Spring in Scotland seems wonderful and beautiful coastlines. Thank you for showing us your beautiful house. You painted and decorated it yourself. Kudos to you
I love wales have been going to St David’s, Tenby, Solva since childhood and so have my parents since the 70s, we always retrace their holidays on farms helping and it’s so nice. Recently been going to Little Haven and Broad Haven for the last 3 summers and love it. I’d love to move there ❤
This is so wonderful. I find myself in deep thought and contemplation these days. I am a minimalist and I write in my spare time. I often take time for just silence. I’m in Finance, so work is demanding. Watching your videos is so rewarding- THANK YOU
sounds beautiful and I love the silence too and also contemplating alot these days… we can be simply happy - just be and learn to realize how precious and also unimportant snd short our stay on earth is… if I see all the people around me running… for what? happiness?? we are sll so deluded… we need more of simple living people and I feel it’s increasing ❤
Thankyou for sharing, I relocated to wales 17 years ago, I lived remotely for 11 of those years and it’s very hard… I could never live anywhere else but I now live in a village with my own business and I must admit I’m far happier! ❤
I stayed a couple of times on the Pembrokeshire coast more than 30 years ago, and have never forgotten the feeling and how stunning it was - your film really captures it so well. ❤ A spell of isolation and getting back to basics is good for the soul now and again after stressful events, especially in these naturally beautiful landscapes. Loved what you said about the hard winter stripping away things you needed to let go, and making your roots stronger. I've come to feel that's the point of these spells of isolation in more natural landscapes. It's a cleansing and strengthening experience, somehow.
@@adventuringbeth Definitely someone who feels landscapes very much, it's fascinating to me how different places have their own energy. I'm currently living in the West of Scotland, been here three years now and it's been incredibly healing. ❤
I was born in a rich city in Asia, then went away to Cardiff for uni. Stayed in Wales and England for 6 years. Now I'm back in the city. What I miss most are the Welsh and English countryside. I learnt to love life there. There is always going to be a part of me missing it. This video reminded me of it. I long to be back.
This is the most beautiful video I’ve ever seen! You have a wonderful eye for the little things and can capture atmosphere incredibly well. love the vibes ❤ this Video feels like a warm hug
this video almost made me cry. I miss the gentleness nature has to offer. Hopefuly one day I get to live somewhere like that in your videos! It was truly beautiful how you showed us your world. Thank you
I just realised alot of yous being fond of this place (Wales), it's probably because you live in a hustling, bustling place yourself & daily commute & busy city life is your norm. I know, i come from London. You must get out and about to places like the countryside, hills, mountains, running water & animals - be close to nature from time to time. This 9-5 isn't in tune to our innate state & calm disposition. Take a break & give your soul its satiating drink, find those travels in this beautiful world. 🌎🫶
What a beautiful video, one of the best I've seen this year. I've also been pondering doing versus being. Good luck with your new home. Wales looks magical.
Such a beautiful place… even in the rain and fog it’s beautiful and full of life. You would have to work hard to remain unhealed in such a place. It’s nice to see you are adjusting to the quiet life. Congratulations!🐝❤️🤗
This video was raw and honest. I love how you embrace your natural environment, especially the realization re: the Atlantic gales clearing and cleansing your soul. Thanks for sharing!
Gosh, despite the struggles you described- I feel like nothing bad could ever happen to you in a place like that! What a charmed life to live, especially to get to enjoy still in your youth too ❤
So peaceful. I grew up in the countryside of Oxfordshire but since moved to Shanghai… very different to the slow paced cottage life I loved so much. Maybe one day I’ll go back to it 😭
What exquisite video footage and photos. Sounds like it was a rough winter but you are taking in the lessons. Your scumbled walls are my favourite way to paint walls too! I look forward to seeing more of your home decorating and rural life!
What lovely footage and thoughtful journey. We all need to go back to where we feel like ourselves again, away from the pressure. Those clay birds are absolutely beautiful.
I know exactly where this is - my husband's family have spent a week in a cottage visible at 0.14 every summer for the last few decades, and for the last seven years I have been lucky enough to join them. It's such a beautiful, special place, our long-term goal is to move here too. Wishing you every happiness!
Hello, I’m from northern Ohio, USA. Your video just popped up on my algorithm and it was such a beautiful and pleasant one, thank you. I love your country side, and your clay birdies. I also like to cook outside as much as possible. I had an awning added to the back of my home. I like metal because I love to hear the rain dripping❤ Good luck with your new lifestyle, and business, and good health to you both, and kitty❤
Wow. I watched this video with tears after stumbling across your channel. We moved from central England to rural and remote Scotland in 2022. It has been filled with challenges but more than anything, it has been a healing balm for me. The winters can be long and harsh as you have seen in wales, sometimes it’s relentless but oh it’s rewarding too. Your video was beautiful, your words poignant. Keep going. ❤
Thank you so much for this comment and your kind words - I felt the pull of remote Scotland back before we settled on Wales. These wild places have so much to teach us, don't they? x
I live in Honolulu and it's been 90 degrees with high humidity, no tradewinds, just hot sticky and uncomfortable even at night. Loved seeing some fog and cold cloudy or rainy days that you've shown. Too bad we couldn't trade places for a month or two LOL! Aloha!
I can quite relate… love to rest, have no appointments and just being at home, making art or being in nature… but I also know the feeling getting restless… and then I love to meet friends… so I think a balance is natural and I guess you can drive by car somewhere or to his parents??? Enjoy this stunning nature…❤ for me nature gives me the most but a few people around me makes me feel comfortable to be honest
this video truly touched my heart. being present & still away from all the noise truly heals the soul. blessings to you both on your life journey together. sending love from texas!
It's almost like I'm watching myself. We sold and moved this year in April. We are only 10 minutes away from Wales, and we are in a fairly rural location. We are still adjusting also. But we absolutely love it here. The peace and the beauty of the stillness. The wildlife. We are yet to experience our first winter, but for once in my life, im actually looking forward to it. Even as Autumn has now arrived, it evokes a totally different sensation in me. All the leaves are slowly turning into warm colours, and Im even looking forward to snowfall. I hope so. Apparently, we will get a lot. I'm so excited. I do find myself feeling isolated at times as well. My family is scattered all over. But, I keep myself busy with projects and crafts. It really helped. I also got burned out when we first arrived on top of Fibromyalgia. I had to learn to be kind to myself and rest until I had the strength to continue. You do learn a lot. Im glad I discovered your channel. Maybe I won't feel so alone now. I wish you all the happiness.
this was such a beautiful video !! - having all the lil subtitles, peaceful music & breathtaking views was all just so calming! Really appreciated a video without any talking, it was just so relaxing & felt like 12 mins of mindfulness thank you ✨😌✨
I just subscribed, find my own way here from YT's recommended. I felt the most cosy-autumn-dark-academia-with-wood-burning-smell vibe, I absolutely love it. Be well :)

We like the birds too much for more cats, my house cat has already started venturing outside to try and catch them 😂 You should visit pembrokeshire one day, people here, as a rule, are aaaaalways friendly, and the pace is nice and slow ☺
wow where? British Columbia? Cuz that sounds kind of like Vancouver
i remember being cooped up in a caravan at tenby as it rained all week, i actually really enjoyed the cosiness of it and just reading and tv
An amazing post! Love the ocean views and the pizza oven! Best to do outside cooking now since I expect winters are cold and windy! In studying abroad in London a life time ago (I was so broke) I visited two places: Oxford and Wales. Went to Brecon Beacon park, the grey beach, loved the moors and sheep painted with blue dots! Best, from Colorado!
can I just say the editing is impecable. The bg music and cinematography capure the cozy mood perfectly🤍
@@GID3ONedits that’s so kind of you! My stronger suit is photography so I’m still learning with video - I really appreciate your comment ☺️
yet another atmospheric, cozy short film about your personal adventures, masterfully shot. thank you!
Thank you so much ☺
My husband is from Pembrokeshire and we moved here 2,5 years ago. Thinking about relocating but glad to see so many people enjoy living here!
Ive lived in pembrokeshire near saundersfoot for 23 years on an ex farm so im familiar with your experiences. I found friendships through yoga and karate! Join a group or classes.....Narberth (a village feel small town) has alot of great things going on and is a bit bohemian. There's gigs, comedy club, singing groups plus lovely cafes and shops. I live opposite a beautiful little 13th century church and have met and been supported by a small congregation.
I have plenty of family...your age too..teachers... moved here aswell so if you need a cuppa or a curry night let me know. Love and blessings x
I have just found your site, and am enraptured by it! I shall binge watch your videos. I myself have moved from a large city to a very rural location. It fills my heart and soul with peace and happiness. I wish you the same xx
Thank you so much for these words 🥰 that's so kind of you! I'm so glad to hear you've found your special place xx
I lived in Wales for 2 years. This blog really made me miss the place I considered my second home. Beautiful videography. ❤
Lovely home and property. I ❤ the landscape and seascape. The isolation would weigh on me unless I had a ton of books, great music and dvds to watch.....oh, and an Amazing Man to share it all with 😂😉😂.
Growing plants in boots seems like a nice idea as rainbows soon arrive after that. Spring in Scotland seems wonderful and beautiful coastlines. Thank you for showing us your beautiful house. You painted and decorated it yourself. Kudos to you
I love wales have been going to St David’s, Tenby, Solva since childhood and so have my parents since the 70s, we always retrace their holidays on farms helping and it’s so nice. Recently been going to Little Haven and Broad Haven for the last 3 summers and love it. I’d love to move there ❤
A sweet contemplation, setting down roots in a place close to family and nature, and enjoying the love I see with this couple. Thank you.
Thank you so much ❤

Living life as a dream. Beautiful places and beautiful colors. What a lovely life for the both of you
More of a nightmare, one would’ve said
This is so wonderful. I find myself in deep thought and contemplation these days. I am a minimalist and I write in my spare time. I often take time for just silence. I’m in Finance, so work is demanding. Watching your videos is so rewarding- THANK YOU
sounds beautiful and I love the silence too and also contemplating alot these days… we can be simply happy - just be and learn to realize how precious and also unimportant snd short our stay on earth is…
if I see all the people around me running… for what? happiness?? we are sll so deluded… we need more of simple living people and I feel it’s increasing ❤
Thankyou for sharing, I relocated to wales 17 years ago, I lived remotely for 11 of those years and it’s very hard… I could never live anywhere else but I now live in a village with my own business and I must admit I’m far happier! ❤
I'm so glad you found the right place for you! It's a beautiful country, isn't it?
What a beautiful place!! Community comes in many ways and with many beings!
Very true! And we've since met some of our lovely neighbours who are always around to chat or lend a hand ☺
I stayed a couple of times on the Pembrokeshire coast more than 30 years ago, and have never forgotten the feeling and how stunning it was - your film really captures it so well. ❤ A spell of isolation and getting back to basics is good for the soul now and again after stressful events, especially in these naturally beautiful landscapes. Loved what you said about the hard winter stripping away things you needed to let go, and making your roots stronger. I've come to feel that's the point of these spells of isolation in more natural landscapes. It's a cleansing and strengthening experience, somehow.
Thank you so much for your comment, you sound like a kindred spirit ❤
@@adventuringbeth Definitely someone who feels landscapes very much, it's fascinating to me how different places have their own energy. I'm currently living in the West of Scotland, been here three years now and it's been incredibly healing. ❤
The clay birds are beautiful 🌿
I was born in a rich city in Asia, then went away to Cardiff for uni. Stayed in Wales and England for 6 years. Now I'm back in the city. What I miss most are the Welsh and English countryside. I learnt to love life there. There is always going to be a part of me missing it. This video reminded me of it. I long to be back.
I hope you can visit again one day, the countryside here will always be here to welcome you back :)
That rainbow at the end with white birds, breathtaking 😍😍😍
This is the most beautiful video I’ve ever seen! You have a wonderful eye for the little things and can capture atmosphere incredibly well. love the vibes ❤ this Video feels like a warm hug
What a beautiful place! Just breathtaking! Great video! Calm and peaceful ❤
Thank you so much, dear Beth, for sharing about this journey and being so honest and vulnerable about it 🧡 wishing the four of you all the best 💫
this video almost made me cry. I miss the gentleness nature has to offer. Hopefuly one day I get to live somewhere like that in your videos!
It was truly beautiful how you showed us your world. Thank you
What a beautiful place! I love birds and cows. So sweet!
Thank you! I'm hoping the cow neighbours will return this Autumn ☺
I just realised alot of yous being fond of this place (Wales), it's probably because you live in a hustling, bustling place yourself & daily commute & busy city life is your norm. I know, i come from London. You must get out and about to places like the countryside, hills, mountains, running water & animals - be close to nature from time to time. This 9-5 isn't in tune to our innate state & calm disposition. Take a break & give your soul its satiating drink, find those travels in this beautiful world. 🌎🫶
I really enjoyed watching this. I've lived in Pembrokeshire all my life and love it here.
@@JulieHawkins-rm2tr it’s a wonderful place! Must have been a magical childhood here. Thank you 🩷
This was so lovely. Thank you from the dry, hot desert of Las Vegas, Nevada.
what a lovely, calming video. thank you!
What a beautiful video, one of the best I've seen this year. I've also been pondering doing versus being. Good luck with your new home. Wales looks magical.
Such a beautiful place… even in the rain and fog it’s beautiful and full of life. You would have to work hard to remain unhealed in such a place. It’s nice to see you are adjusting to the quiet life. Congratulations!🐝❤️🤗
Lovely and fun. Thank you. Wales is my favorite part of Britain, Wild and beautiful. Thanks again, and keep up the good work!
it's a magical place. Thank you so much for your comment! ☺
This video was raw and honest. I love how you embrace your natural environment, especially the realization re: the Atlantic gales clearing and cleansing your soul. Thanks for sharing!
Gosh, despite the struggles you described- I feel like nothing bad could ever happen to you in a place like that! What a charmed life to live, especially to get to enjoy still in your youth too ❤
Beautiful. Peaceful. Thank you for sharing.
The birds in your garden are glorious!!!
So peaceful. I grew up in the countryside of Oxfordshire but since moved to Shanghai… very different to the slow paced cottage life I loved so much. Maybe one day I’ll go back to it 😭
More folks should do this in their life. Cheers and best of luck in your adventure! ❤ from 🇨🇦
What exquisite video footage and photos. Sounds like it was a rough winter but you are taking in the lessons. Your scumbled walls are my favourite way to paint walls too! I look forward to seeing more of your home decorating and rural life!
Thank you so much :) I think I'll paint all walls this way forever now, I love it too! Posting a little home tour on friday!
The vibes of this are completely immaculate ❤
What lovely footage and thoughtful journey. We all need to go back to where we feel like ourselves again, away from the pressure. Those clay birds are absolutely beautiful.
I know exactly where this is - my husband's family have spent a week in a cottage visible at 0.14 every summer for the last few decades, and for the last seven years I have been lucky enough to join them. It's such a beautiful, special place, our long-term goal is to move here too. Wishing you every happiness!
Hello, I’m from northern Ohio, USA. Your video just popped up on my algorithm and it was such a beautiful and pleasant one, thank you. I love your country side, and your clay birdies. I also like to cook outside as much as possible. I had an awning added to the back of my home. I like metal because I love to hear the rain dripping❤
Good luck with your new lifestyle, and business, and good health to you both, and kitty❤
Wow. I watched this video with tears after stumbling across your channel. We moved from central England to rural and remote Scotland in 2022. It has been filled with challenges but more than anything, it has been a healing balm for me.
The winters can be long and harsh as you have seen in wales, sometimes it’s relentless but oh it’s rewarding too. Your video was beautiful, your words poignant. Keep going. ❤
Thank you so much for this comment and your kind words - I felt the pull of remote Scotland back before we settled on Wales. These wild places have so much to teach us, don't they? x
What a magical place you were lead to.
I’m sure there are faeries on that land and selkies in that ocean.
Thank you for sharing it with us💖
This brought me so much peace. Thanks for sharing your view on the world; it's really lovely.
Aw. That was the most lovely and tranquil vlog I have ever seen. You transported me to Wales. Thank you. ❤
I live in Honolulu and it's been 90 degrees with high humidity, no tradewinds, just hot sticky and uncomfortable even at night. Loved seeing some fog and cold cloudy or rainy days that you've shown. Too bad we couldn't trade places for a month or two LOL! Aloha!
The painted birds are beautiful ! Thanks for posting .
Beautiful video! The landscape is breathtaking! I could easily live there and soak it all in. Great job! I wish you well!
I can quite relate… love to rest, have no appointments and just being at home, making art or being in nature… but I also know the feeling getting restless… and then I love to meet friends… so I think a balance is natural and I guess you can drive by car somewhere or to his parents??? Enjoy this stunning nature…❤ for me nature gives me the most but a few people around me makes me feel comfortable to be honest
❤ just found your channel. I love how peaceful it is and when you found the cows and were just there reading , got me emotional so beautiful ❤
Aw thank you! 🥰 I loved having the cows as neighbours, hoping they'll return in a month or so! ❤
Lol I cried. I think I need this kind of life. Thank you for sharing.
What a gorgeous little house. The floors are amazing.
This might be my favorite video I've ever watched on RUclips. Moving, relaxing, inspiring. I plan to save this video and revisit many times
oh my gosh, what a compliment! Thank you so so much ❤
This video,you coming into my life is Perfect timing and gods plan. May you grow,heal and prosper . Much love
this video truly touched my heart. being present & still away from all the noise truly heals the soul. blessings to you both on your life journey together. sending love from texas!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment ❤️
It's almost like I'm watching myself. We sold and moved this year in April. We are only 10 minutes away from Wales, and we are in a fairly rural location. We are still adjusting also. But we absolutely love it here. The peace and the beauty of the stillness. The wildlife. We are yet to experience our first winter, but for once in my life, im actually looking forward to it. Even as Autumn has now arrived, it evokes a totally different sensation in me. All the leaves are slowly turning into warm colours, and Im even looking forward to snowfall. I hope so. Apparently, we will get a lot. I'm so excited.
I do find myself feeling isolated at times as well. My family is scattered all over. But, I keep myself busy with projects and crafts. It really helped.
I also got burned out when we first arrived on top of Fibromyalgia. I had to learn to be kind to myself and rest until I had the strength to continue. You do learn a lot.
Im glad I discovered your channel. Maybe I won't feel so alone now.
I wish you all the happiness.
This video moved me ❤ thank you for sharing your journey of growth and such lovely moments
What an absolutely beautiful, moving and gorgeous vlog! Thank you for this ❤️
Gorgeous peaceful place bless the little nest of yours😊
What a lovely video. You made a very brave move to a wild and remote part of Wales. I’m looking forward to watching more about your life.
These are the days you will remember and treasure. Greetings from US
Thank you for sharing such beauty with us. As Alex sat looking out to the sea, it felt like a sailing ship from centuries ago might appear!
this was such a beautiful video !! - having all the lil subtitles, peaceful music & breathtaking views was all just so calming! Really appreciated a video without any talking, it was just so relaxing & felt like 12 mins of mindfulness thank you ✨😌✨
So atmospheric and scenery🩵
Beautiful video👍🏻
Beautiful in every way...birds are amazing and so are you!!!
I just subscribed, find my own way here from YT's recommended. I felt the most cosy-autumn-dark-academia-with-wood-burning-smell vibe, I absolutely love it. Be well :)
Aw thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear that ☺
What a beautiful and hopeful video. Thank you
