    Ahhh catching up on your magical videos a month later. The bread and pumpkin looks delicious.
    The light at the beginning coming through the forest trees is sublime. I thought I was peeking into Rivendell and expected to see elves singing. Wonderful 🦊🍄🏵️🍁🍂

    Dear Scottish Fairy ~ this video brought both tears to my eyes and made me smile. . . tears, when you confirmed you'd found your path and skipped while out on your walk; smiles, when I saw the twig stems in your amazing pumpkin breads -- I imagined your kind husband looking at your with appreciation for such a festive meal and teasing you, asking if the "twigs" were additional fiber! 😄 My initial path was changed suddenly, and unfortunately, by my father's sudden death a month after high school graduation. College was delayed and my many friends (at that time) found it difficult to relate to me. Normal, of course, and I understand it now but I was not ready to become an "adult" at barely 18. My parents had NO expectations of me but, oh my, I had planned to prove them wrong! "The best laid plans of mice and men!" Many decades later and having chosen a number of "paths less traveled," it was not without costs. I suspect many here have reaped benefits and paid prices; such is the journey of life, is it not?! GRATEFUL for most of it, as it cannot be changed. I wish you and our caring community a lovely autumn week! Tapadh leat 🙏

    Gosh this reaches me on a day i cried in front of a picture of me as a baby and thought "poor little thing, you never stood a chance". But thank goodness for that, because not fitting in pushes us so much further than what was "expected" of us would have allowed for.

    Liebe Kerstin, was für ein wunderschönes Video, von einer mutigen Frau, ihren eigenen Weg zu finden, um glücklich und zufrieden ihren persönlichen WEG zu gehen. Ich freue mich so für dich und dein Leben in Schottland. Es hat mich sehr berührt und ich verstehe die Suche nach dem Sinn des Lebens. Habe mich persönlich als Frau in Wales mehr gefunden und fühle mich wirklich wohl, geborgen, sicher und weniger gestresst als in Deutschland. Du beschreibst das so wunderschön, liebe Kerstin, danke. Die Natur, der Wald, die vielen kleinen Wunder des Lebens....bleibt dir treu auf deinem WEG. Herzliche Grüße aus Llanddewi´r Cwm im schönen Powys. Heike :-)

      Es klingt für mich so, dass auch Du Dein Glück im Ausland gefunden hast, was mich wirklich sehr freut! Wir beiden wissen ja, wie und wo wir vorher gelebt haben und auch Du hattest den Mut, einen anderen Weg zu gehen.
      Ich wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende und sende herzliche Grüße aus Schottland - Kerstin 🧚

    Hello dear Kerstin. Another beautiful walk in the woods. I particularly enjoyed the autumn colours of the trees and how the ferns cover the forest floor creating a warm autumnal landscape. Your filming is very good and captures light and colour very well. We must try to follow our own paths in life in order to find true happiness. It took me a very long time to achieve this especially being highly sensitive. I have always felt out of place within my family growing up and I was never a conformist. But now living quietly and enjoying the simple things in life gives me happiness and that is my path. It’s good that you have followed your own path which has led you to happiness in Scotland with your husband and your cosy cottage in such beautiful landscapes. Good for you and I hope your chosen path gives you continuous joy. Thank you for your channel and content 🍂🍁🐝🍄‍🟫🍄🌰❤️

    Hello again our beautiful Scottish Fairy....Thank you for the wonderful, peaceful walk in the woods...along with the lovely musical accompaniment....It was such an analogy of taking the 'Road Less Traveled' and how you have found your joy and peace in a life of quietness and found such joy in Scotland and the beautiful area in which you now live. It takes much courage to find our own path especially when others expect us to follow their intention of what life should be. So many people today are caught up in the rush of life and all the expectations upon them and are living an unfulfilled and stressed existence. You have chosen the better path and are true to your self. Your vulnerability and honesty is so endearing. Seeing you skip down your chosen path is beautiful. Oh, and that pumpkin bread bowl is just delightful.....I so enjoy all your beautiful videos.....

      Hello Charlotte, thank you for this lovely comment. I am still catching up on the many I received last week. They are always much appreciated!
      I agree, the rush of life and the stress it brings hinders many to halt and look around. I am no stranger to that but I try to do what I can to re-energise and take a breath from the chores of life.
      Have a wonderful weekend 🧚

    Dear Kerstin, this week I'm watching you from the beautiful Croatia. I'm glad you found your path. I know that most people follow what family/society wants them to be. If one doesn't choose their own path, someone else will do so for them. I still didn't find mine. Your bread and soup looked delicious. I love pumpkin soup, perfect for autumn. Thank you for sharing your story as always and have a great weekend 🙏 P.S. could you give me the name of the first track you used in the beginning of this video? It's so beautiful ❤

    A day on earth
    Every day I see the world
    I am forever amazed by its unending wonders
    And all the beauty of everything around me
    Each blade of grass, every pebbles, shoot and twigs
    Drops of dew as diamonds in the morning sun
    The fresh scent of renewed hope in the early breath
    The promises of life awoken
    Riches and abundance and rewards near
    I am so very small - this world so big
    Though I look and look I cannot see very far
    But I can see I belong here
    That I belong to here
    The new day also brings hurdles and sorrow
    Streams to cross, treacherous and menacing covers
    I am just a solitary little mouse trotting along
    In this immeasurable field I call home
    And no matter the dangers and the threats
    However unkind the weather and cold the nights
    And the friends lost and the dark days
    I am grateful for this ground I walk on
    I am the life given to me
    Like a voice needs a listener
    And the dream a dreamer
    This earth comes alive under my tiny little feet
    I am bound to it as it is to me
    I am just a solitary little mouse trotting along
    Small and defenceless, sometimes scared and unsure
    But trusting and confident in this moment
    Today, there is nowhere else I would rather be
    Here and now I belong
    To this life given to me
    I am a voice, I am a dream, I am a breath
    I am just a little mouse

    I loved seeing you skipping on your path. I too have looked at a black and white picture of myself taken at my desk at school, and now think if only I could have changed things for that stressed little girl. My parents thought that they were doing the best thing, sending me to a private school, but I struggled due to being dyslexic, which they did not know about then. I just wanted to be out in nature and free, and I feel home education would have been the best thing for me, but I doubt many folk were doing that in the 60s and 70s? That is why I love being at home so much now I think, and have always preferred having folk come to me at home, or going to their homes. I love being out in nature, walking Madge, and am so lucky where I live that there are very few cars, and no traffic where my little house is. I went to work as a Nanny in Menorca in my early 20s, and was never homesick - I just loved doing my own thing, and being in control of what I was doing, not being controlled by someone else. I did get married, but was divorced after 18 years. That was 23 years ago now, and I am happier on my own, but it would be lovely to have some human company now and again. I have my Madge, and she gets me out for walks, but it is rare to see any other human being. I do enjoy being a recluse most of the time. I would rather that, than be living with someone who made me unhappy, or whom I made unhappy! Blessings to you from Jilly & Madge. xxx

      Hello Jilly and excuse my late answer. I am just catching up with all the lovely comments from last week's vlog.
      Thank you so much for sharing your story - I appreciate the trust you put into my channel to do so.
      I am sorry to read how you struggled in younger years. Like you, I love being in nature, it just speaks to me and I feel secure and calm. Humans can confuse me a lot due to my HSP.
      I am so happy that you have Madge in your life - I do understand that you sometimes would like human company though. Maybe through other dog walkers?
      I could not agree more on your last sentence. I'd rather be alone than with someone who makes me unhappy.
      Thank you for being part of this community. You are much appreciated. Have a lovely weekend 🧚

    Thank you for another insightful video. Can I share something with you.... I do not discard the pumpkin skin. The skins will soften and along with the rest of the pumpkin and add more fiber and nutrition to the soup. So there is so little waste of the pumpkin, makes it quicker and easier and it adds to the quantity of your soup. I look forward to your next video.🙂😘

    The whole social expectations thing is ridiculous. Everyone is different. Why must everyone for the mold or feel bad for not fitting? I never had kids, never liked being married. Never followed the beaten path. Yes it is not easy, people will give you a hard time. Oh well.
