You are absolutely right, Colette. We have become so used to just pressing buttons or taking things off shelves - expending minimal thought and effort to have every convenience, and not even things we really want, that we've lost sight of how happy we can be with a very few simple, meaningful things, and that is the way to live a truly enriching and balanced life.
Yes Collette- using clean water to wash out our waste. Like you said- “the height of stupidity” 😔🤦🏽♀️❤️❤️❤️
Stay warm and all cuddle up together . It's getting very cold now in Kent , they reckon Tuesday is going to get really cold and feel like -10 Brrrrrr . I think we should all hibernate for a few days . Take care . Blessings and warm hugs to you all xxxx
could you possibly put a thick door curtain up they are very good at keeping heat in and thick window curtains too,,,,ide gladly stay in your wonderful lodge in the autumn even winter 👍 its just so amazing really it is,,,,i love to recycle and up do furniture its just a great feeling being resourceful,,,all my clothes are from charity and most of my furniture,thank you for sharing your life experiences in your amazing home 👍🥰❤️
A friend of mine only uses rain water for their shower it collects from the roof. Really great idea xx
I luv these curtains!
My kitties all fell asleep listening to you. You have that magic even through a video. =)
The lodge is so cozy and lovely.
This is the first time I've seen the inside of the lodge. It makes me heart happy to see that room has been made for books.
You are such an inspiration. I'm heading in much the same direction here in the US. Deep bow of gratitude for sharing your life and cottage!
The Arctic is 5.6° C above normal. The colder air has been split into the continents and now the jet streams are so wavy that it's bringing the cold your way. I love science, but not when it reveals bad things. I hope you stay warm and find comfort in the lodge. Looks wonderful! Blessings to you and the fur babies.
Such a beautiful calm home you've made ❤️
The Lodge looks comfortable and cosy and warm!
Thank you for always teaching us about ingenuity
Blessings blessings blessings to you also. Stay warm and cosy 😊 xx
The Lodge is such a lovely space.
Thank goodness you got that new glass for the fire ... just in time!
We had the same problem with our front door letting the cold in and we adapted a clear plastic shower curtain that we hung in front of it, covering the door frame from side to side, and shower curtain plastic because it's a bit heavier than the average bear and lets in lots of light. We were astounded at the difference. If not a curtain, a blanket would do just as well ... which we've hung to separate the bedrooms from the main living area.
Jack, the sun-bunny. :)
Blessings to you from Canada, Colette. It has been very cold here, too, with more snow this morning. However, cold is relative to what you are used to, all temperature is, and I fully appreciate just how cold you must be feeling. Cover that door with a warm blanket, do the same for the windows, too, keep the kettle and the soup pot on the boil, and soon the cold will pass. Much love to you and to the furries 💕
I am sorry you are cold. We use to put a blanket over our door. It helps alot. God please bless and look after you forever. And your sweet Goddess protect you and warm up your little lodge. I send my love to you, Jack, and the lovely kittens.
Watching Jack and how much of your conversation he understands! It’s quite amazing! 💚
Blessings of warmth
I have missed your videos for a few days as you were busy working in the garden! It is a joy to see you back today! Absolutely love your home & gardens and way of life! You are a beautiful person, Colette! God bless you. ❤️
Beauty knows you should stay in the lodge in the cold weather!
Blessings Colette. The lodge looks warm and cozy. Bundle up and cuddle up to your furry friends!! :) Be safe!
You got the stove door repaired just in time!! Those polar vortex are horrible things. Hope it dissipates soon!!
Currently it’s 10*c but just 2-3 days ago it was 26*c . I live in a 2 story home & had to turn the ac on it was too warm upstairs. It was lovely to see & get outside for a bit. But I accomplished nothing as I haven’t felt up to the getting ready of my pots & planters out on my patio. Now it’s raining, and is supposed to continue to do here on the west side of the Smokey Mountains. I’m desperate to see & feel the sun & warmth again as the rain makes me hurt so bad. I literally struggle thru getting my plants & veggies planted because it take so much energy. Not hard work but enough that coupled with the rain, I’m down for a couple of weeks after, trying to recover. Blessings to you! Hugs, Summer xo sending lots of warmth to you & your fur babies💗🌸
I loved watching this video. I got some great ideas.
Love all your recycling to build the Lodge, just need a heavy curtain over that drafty door. And water conservation, YES, people are generally oblivious (and uncaring) as to how much they use
Looks beautiful out your window, very cozy inside, love your fireplace. In Minnesota here it can get very cold in the winter. We have had a cool spring this year which sets planting back a bit . Love the lodge.
KEEP WARM! ITS IN 80'S HERE IN FLORIDA. ✌🌞
It's cold here in the UK as well, they have mentioned that word again "snow"! I haven't been outside the door today LOL! I love the lodge Collette, it looks really cosy and snug in there. Stay warm and enjoy that lovely bowl of soup. Blessings and hugs to all from Megan x :)
Lovely video. Love to watch Jack paying attention to whatever you are saying..
Jack is ready to go outside ☺
You have such a sweet, cozy and inviting place. I do enjoy your videos so much. Being a city girl all my life I get educated by your experiences I wouldn’t know how compost toilets work but I hear and learn from you. It’s raining in New Jersey, US. It’s been an indoor weather this weekend. Keep yourself cozy and thanks so much for the posting of this video.
Blissings to you, too! So jealous of the cozy atmosphere..a great sense of imperviousness to the perils of this tempestuous season..
I bought the special today!! 2019 calendar and midwinter book. Can’t wait to get it, and little by little get the other books and map keep warm!!!
Blessings x 3 to you too. Stay warm.
Going out today certainly blew the cobwebs away! It's so cold I could hibernate! Keep warm 😊
Blessings Collette, let's hope that this cold weather changes to the milder spring climate we look forward to. Love to all from me and Molly 🐕💖🌲♥️🐈🐈🌿🐕♥️
Blessings to you, hope you manage to keep warm and snug xx
I hope a warm-up happens for you soon. It was extremely cold here around the holidays (equivalent of -25c at the worst) and I could not wait until the deep freeze broke! Hope you and your pets and plants make it through unscathed!
Sending warm, glowing thoughts your way. Blessings on you, Colette.
I have a slow well (1/4 gal/min.), so I have a 3,000 gallon storage tank. Plus, you can do rain water collection off gutters. Several of us around here have tanks.
Ohhh the lodge looks soooo cozy!!!! Love it!!!
The New Zealand flags! I love that being a Kiwi xxx
We're in a "heatwave" this week in Nebraska...45 F today ( about 7 C ?) anyway it's nice to see the sun after the ice storms of last week. Stay warm and enjoy the soup! Blessings.
It's been sooo biting cold, snow blizzards, & then rain with the cold here since Christmas in Northern Illinois..We all want spring so bad..I have lots of projects to keep me busy, BUT cabin fever big time..Last winter was mild..Stay warm & I love love the cozy lodge..blessings
We had a spell like that at the beginning of January...didn't get above freezing for three days and went under 0F a couple nights. I used some painter's tape around my door downstairs (in the room that I do lots of my work and I have my wood stove) and put a rolled up towel at the base...made a big difference! Stay warm and safe!
Lovely video as always. Here in New england the weather has been freakishly warm.
Could not agree more about how disgusting it is (imho) to ruin clean drinking water by using it in a toilet. Why have we not stopped doing this? There is so little clean water on the planet. Surely we could do better!
We have been through a couple of weeks of 47,48,49 degrees Celsius still 40 degrees at 7pm. Love to watch you cozying up to a fire with the fur baby's. my eldest son flew to London yesterday so he's going to feel the cold I expect. Thanks for your lovely videos.
Love and cozy Blessings!
Hope you have stayed warm x
somewhere in my mind, there is a ( painting box ) the incredible string band
Stay cozy with that wonderful wood fire! I always wondered at the wastefulness some places have about water. I remember watching a video on earth ships a few years ago and thinking they had it right with the grey water systems and compost toilets.
I have just ordered a couple of books, using PayPal. Thank you so much for everything you do. Please email me, as I would love to have an inscription in the books.
Sorry you are having this cold spell after the nice bit you just went through. Stay warm and cozy in your Lodge. I have shared this video to my group www.facebook/groups/tinyhousebuild/ as I thought they would really enjoy it and give those still trying to get to the "tiny house life" some inpiration and what a bang up job you've done at Bealtaine Cottage. Have a good night and blessings to you and Jack.
Its weird in New Hampshire, was near 80 2 days ago and not its below 40 and half a foot of snow.
"Weird" becomes normal and expected when you dive into climate change. It takes a brave soul to do that because it can be scary and depressive. =(
In Northern California and last week a sudden cold has desended and is suposed to last well into March! Colder now than it was in the deep winter!!!
Its been in the 70s here in South Carolina and the flowers are blooming. :)
The Lodge looks soooo cosy and furry friends know where to be comfortable. Forecast is now for snow, even in SE England so keep safe and warm. Blessings,
Hi Colette! I think you should consider renting that beautiful "tiny home!" BUT...either have the condition that they bring their own water (perhaps from the lovely spring near there??) or only rent in spring and autumn when there's enough water from your well. I think this could be a truly good experience for people to learn about "off grid" life and permaculture, etc. I think you could earn some great money from it, and save up for your new property! It's just a thought. :-) I'm not personally interested (in renting / visiting) because I don't travel...health and family issues...plus travel is expensive...but I can see the appeal! Air B&B or something like that might be an option for you. I think you can set your own price. (Note: I've never worked with them so I don't know much about it. Just sharing my thoughts with you.)
After days of flooding rains, it’s 50F and mostly cloudy in SW Ohio (USA) today. I hope our bitter cold is over. I have Spring fever now!
It's so cold right now and it's even snowing 😊
LOVE the lodge...almost as much as the cottage.:) Here in Cardiff, getting hold of 'scraps' for projects is NOT easy. Just like the curse of TV chefs resulting in foods which used to be the cheaper options for us folks leaner in the wallet, have made those foods into fashionable things to use and thereby the prices skyrocket too, all of the scraps and even pallet wood gets snapped up by folks who have cottoned onto a trend and then sell their projects for more than we can afford...Fair enough, if they are going to start businesses, it is great that they can do it using recycled stuff. Just means that the rest of us can't get hold of it for the NEEDED things.
oysters and caviar, were considered poor peoples food, and champagne, was considered as mouthwash, only fit for the poor, oh well crazy world

Dear Colette, I have worried about you being so cold. We are due to get the 'Siberian Weather' here this week in England. I am used to living in draughty houses so this is my plan. Block up doors that are unused with at least a fraught excluder 'sausage' made from an old towel or blanket rolled up. Can I be brave an suggest that you block up the lodge front door with a mattress off one of the single beds I'd instant double glazed door! Next make a pot of your fantastic soup and get that on the go for the next few days nourishment. Also I make thermos flasks of hot drinks and keep them by the fireplace to keep warm all day. Wear vests!! Keep your dressing gown on over your clothes and sleep in fleece jacket and dressing gown at night. Keep mobile phone charged in case of power cut. Candles are already at hand in your lovely home. Have you got enough pet food for a fortnight in case of being snowed in and fill up petrol in
Sorry I ran out of room. Yes fill up the car with fuel. You might need it in emergency! Keep warm Colette it's vital else you will be poorly. Keep hot drinks, eat regularly and enjoy your lovely home. We are preparing for shutdown here too. I am going to catch up on my study reading and crochet project. God bless you and the fur babies. Love Mel xx
All great advice...Bless you XXX
@@melpage302 don't forget warm socks with slippers with a sole. Great list! Mine is close to it. Blessings.
Good luck to everyone. The whole country has a red warning for now. Stay safe and be indoors by 4pm (1st of March 2018)
I watch these nice films ewery ewening. Sorry. I began to larn englesh sam months ago. I like them very much. Me home is same. And I have too 1 dear dachund and 2 cats. And me favorite film + Loulou channel in the youtobe. Thank you these videos. ♥️
I remember what bitter cold feels like even though I have not seen so much as frost in eight years. Personally, I'd think the outdoor video could wait a week or so until it warms up. The last thing you need is the flu when your long planned visit happens.
BTW I have one of those stripey rag carpets too although mine has been around a while and washed within an inch of its life over the years. They dry in a few hours in the insane heat here in Australia. The tassles have somehow shortened without coming undone so they hold up incredibly well. I plan to get a few more when I am next in Ireland. : )
And what is great is that they are made from rags.
Hi Colette, is your Christmas Book still available? 💚
Yes, it is!
❤️🧡💚💜
Is that all you have for heat? Do your pipes freeze?🥶
The sun is Splitting the trees in Belfast I’m out with a bottle of wkd getting a sun tan
It's all relative, we finally had sun today and it was 47, and I wore a sweater to church.Although I get it, in October I was freezing, then you acclimate. Layer up,this too shall pass.
Are you going to start rain water catchment?
Already do.
Bealtaine Cottage 👍😉
Have u ever considered doing asmr? So many nice things to tap on or scratch :) im sure there would be plenty of ppl that would donate
