      @duncanfrere2656 In Europe in general, these are REAL professions, where you either HAVE to make an apprenticeship and will be certified in a day-long exam at the end of the few years, or get a university degree. I know, because I have more than one certification. Not like in North America for example. I immigrated to Canada, where everybody is 'skilled' and has a business, advertising 'many skills', can do EVERYTHING, but nobody really checks if they CAN do their job properly, they just get a business license and TADAA!. If there are too many complaints, they close the business and vanish.
      Europe is (fortunately) 'still' different, and people have in general no problem with rules, which protect usually consumers and their safety.

    • @Choppini
      @Choppini Месяц назад +1

      @TheRasiani Many people (incl. me) have the attitude: if I do it, why not doing it right or even perfect? I personally do not start any task or important job when I am not sure that I am in the mood or have the time to do it properly. Having to look at a crooked job, or having to re-do something because it looks 'meh' is a nightmare for me. It fills me with so much peace watching Martijn doing everything he does with patience and I guess passion as well. Unfortunately, the majority of people have the attitude "oh well, that's good enough for now!", as observed uncounted times, and also heard from skilled people, just to save time. But then, improving the 'good enough for now-work' never happens...

I grew up watching my parents make things, do things they'd never done before. Yes, sometimes you need to rethink it, but if you keep trying, you'll get it. Your flower box is absolutely gorgeous.

    Martyn,
    Your weekly uploads from the Italian mountains offers me a moment to contemplate my life and the aspirations I hold for my family. However, I must admit that there are times when I find myself restless, unable to sit still, as I watch the leisurely pace at which you work.
    It has taken me months to understand why I feel this way-that my frustration stems from my tendency towards seeking immediate gratification, a craving for that dopamine rush that comes from swiftly finishing tasks and moving on to the next. I know I'm not alone in this, having been raised with the shared belief that we must work tirelessly and mindlessly from the moment we open our eyes, for fear of being labelled 'lazy' or holding a lesser place in society.
    Interestingly, what frustrates me is also what draws me to your content: your ability to have broken free from the relentless "go, go, go" mentality that so many of us find ourselves caught up in. Your approach serves as a refreshing reminder to appreciate progress without fixating solely on speed or magnitude of accomplishments-a valuable lesson that I've been increasingly embracing since discovering your channel.
    I think I speak for all of your viewers when I say "Superbedankt" for sharing your journey with us and reminding us what it means to be human. ✌

    Martijn, from my own experience with my grandmother's flowerboxes, the all-wooden design needs to have holes drilled in the bottom. It helps prevent the wood _and_ flowers from rotting. Also a thin layer (1" or so) of soil-sand [mix] at the base can also help with drainage. Drill/cut half a dozen medium sized holes and place some broken pottery or stones to partially cover them to prevent the soil washing out.

    Anyhow, I'll be watching your eagerly awaited video, enjoy hearing the birds sing and to see you work in your usual calm and skillful way. Spring has finally come to the Italian alps! How wonderful! You know I usually feel OK about my age, but watching you, I wish I were 35 years younger, and I'd be there with you, helping you, learning from.you and maybe teaching you a few skills. But no, you seem to master everything already. It is simply mind blowing how well you do everything you put your mind to!

    while I enjoy all your videos this was exceptional, especially the photography. You have come a long way from the early days of brutal effort to a calm peaceful demeanor showing much skill and patience while you get all things done,one at a time.. Your peaceful demeanor is contagious It is what all of us admire most and that you have have become so much better at all you do .I was pleasantly surprised to see you sewing your curtains and how very nice they turned out.Continued success and much good health and happiness.

    Martijn, you're such a blessing to me, Thank you - every video just gets better and better . I've watched your adventures and hard work from the beginning : from #1 till now # 109 - the care you take in each and every shot - the drone work for the big picture scenery, the music and sound effects, the intricate photography of a small insects or a bumble bee ( or the chickens who follow you adoringly when you let them out ! ) .... when I was younger I played the game Skyrim - I loved the trees, the mountains and the grasslands , the rivers and streams in that game - at the end of this video as you walked through the mountain countryside - the trees, the water, the grasslands, I actually thought I was there again! - Keep up your amazing work and know that your many fans are inspired by you and appreciate you filming everything that you share with us.

    Your trees are in a similar state as ours in the Highlands of Virginia. Big dollops of lime green decorating the hillsides with a promise of spring. And, like you, a cold spell has interrupted its progress. It is so good to see the green again, though, and the forest floor blooms with wildflowers. I read trees smell so good because they absorb years of starlight. There is certainly a sweetness that rises in the evening air, and at dawn to hear the birds again is bliss. Hugs to you for all your beautiful accomplishments. Much love ❤️

    Seeing all the new greenery of spring, remind me of . . .
    "Spring has sprung, the grass has riz.
    I wonder where the birdies is?
    People say the birds are on the wing.
    But that's absurd, the wing's on the bird"

    There is nothing better than watching these videos on a Sunday morning. My work week is Wednesday thru Sunday, so by Sunday morning, I need this relaxation video. The stress from the upcoming 2024 Presidential election, and regular work struggles (dealing with the public) makes me completely anti-social on my time off. I am envious of your time alone, being one with nature and working on your home. The one cabin is looking so great. I look forward to watching the 2nd one transform.

    In France there's a gardner's rite around the 11,12 & 13 th of May, Les Saints Glaces, meaning up to that date it can still freeze anywhere so you don't plant fragile stuff like flowers until AFTER that date. Saves a lot of money and work.

    Your videos are truly inspiring. Your craftsmanship is incredible, patient, thoughtful, precise. A suggestion for you to think about in order to continue cooking in the heat of the summer, a "sun oven". I'm sure you could make one, but you could use it to continue making your delicious-looking meals.
