Collette please remind people to check that they are still subscribed. I think there are some shenanigans going on and I have found that I have to re subscribe almost every week. Sad. I enjoy you so much. Keep posting please. ❤
Yes Ramona , thanks for this “ heads up” as the same thing has happened to me over a few channels that I subscribe to including this one. ( I just thought it was my pudgy fingers accidentally pressing the wrong button lol )
My husband and I have stopped watching the news, as all the doom and gloom going on in the world at the moment was getting us down. The world seems a very crazy place at the moment, which is why I am so happy I have found your channel, I find you very calming to watch, thank you, Colette.
Every so often I get overwhelmed with angst because of all the things that are going on in my country and other places in the world. I keep reminding myself that I can only do so much so I focus on where I am, my family, friends and the people I meet when I need to get out and run errands. I try to be the smile, kind word that is needed as I go through my life. I pray too. I can’t solve the many problems and issues that the world is facing but I do the best I can where I am physically.
I just want to putter until I die. Putter in my garden. Putter around with my animals. Putter around the forest. ❤❤❤I can’t handle outside noise and seek calm every day.
Yes, the world is on fire, and our elected officials seem unable to cope in the least. I come to your beautiful garden for a respite from the madness and to remember to be grateful for the beauty of Mother Earth.
Our world leaders are such a disappointment and not acting as we want and representing us and what is right - it is affecting many of us alongside you Colette and l feel in good company. The corruption is depressing and mothe nature is our tonic
Welcome back ❤ the outside world is a very sad and very scary place, so many horrible things happening. We’re lucky to find peace and some solace within the garden
The world is beautiful with many beautiful humans, creatures and plants in it. While it is important to acknowledge atrocities, as individuals we only have the now and this moment. Gratitude for the many wonders, such as nature, lovely plants a good cup of tea is very important.
I love the visits to your land. Hearing the birds chirping and seeing all the flowers and healthy growth is great. I miss gardening. Your videos help me remember the feeling of peace and privacy.
Most of us must feel helpless and sad for our children and grandchildren and I could hear the sadness in your voice. You have been gentle and kind to the most precious resource, Mother Earth. So take comfort and strength from all people who love what you do and care very much for you,patsy and bealtaine.
Colette, I hear you. Those of us here understand exactly where you're coming from. Sad, mad world. I bought a tin sign recently "Out into the garden I go to free my mind and feed my soul..."
The front entrance to Bealtaine Cottage looks great! You have done a wonderful job of clearing that area out. In these distressing times I find myself looking to stay informed but later closing things out of my mind so I can keep my sanity. Sometimes we need a break. We all need a break 😑.
Keeping sane by staying firmly rooted on the earth, growing and nurturing living things is what I love doing too. It is what makes sense when so much seems senseless.
So glad to see you back Colette. Enjoy the calm, peaceful serenity of your woodland. It is a balm for all of our souls as you keep sharing it with us. I cannot thank you enough for these wonderful videos. Blessings to you Colette. ❤
35 years ago I was married to the father of my children, a Cork man. We had discussions back then about losing the British identity to other cultures and I always remember him telling me that Ireland would never go that way, would never allow it due to the fierce patriotism of the Irish. However, none of us could have foreseen the woke madness which would develop into self loathing and criticism of our own countries and culture (I’m English) in favour of allowing any other culture to invade and take over for fear of offending. The Irish are fighters and I hope you win the battle. And if you do, I hope you will put out a welcome mat for the English who have been driven out of our once lovely culture 😢
The British economy 'identity' and ' culture' has been founded on immigration for literally centuries. What do you think is the essence of ' British Culture?'
@@howareyou857 British culture is about freedom of speech and actions, tolerance and standards. What we have now is self loathing, shame and a ridiculous attitude towards our own achievements as a country in favour of allowing people from other cultures to slowly but surely take over. Cultures which have no respect for women, no standards, which marry off underage girls, which don’t allow freedom of speech or actions, and which have done worse atrocities than the British over the course of history. Cultures which don’t provide aid to other countries, cultures which have never looked inwards to see their own failings and change. Cultures which have dragged other countries down and ruined their once free countries. And we do all this self flaggelation for fear of offending others who hate us, who want to overtake us and who have no gratitude for what we provide. In short, we are despised even though we are one of the most tolerant and great countries on earth. And we are despised by people from cultures and countries who do NOTHING for must or other countries, ever, but just take take take, all the while slagging us off. We do not need to be reduced to the low standards of the countries from which they have 'escaped'. Our countries are fine. We dont need or want barbaric oppressive regimes, thanks.
@@janeknight3434 tbh Jane I live in one of oldest multi- ethnic communities in the UK and I have not ever experienced anything of your negative portrayal. I am however surrounded by people who care about their neighbours, often share their cuisine, look out for those who do not have enough and are respectful of other people's different beliefs. This has been my lifelong experience of living in a multi-ethnic British community. Britain has a long history of immigration; cities such as London, Dublin, Cardiff, Liverpool, Bristol etc would not have the rich heritage and economic status they have now without it. Fiscal studies show that immigrants bring in 12% more than they take out of the UK economy. However in return British Colonialism is not necessarily something to be proud of (if we are going to mention the UKs historical role is suppressing other countries). Probably that is a discussion for another day as it is an important but complex subject. Using the South Wales Valleys, as an example, Valleys folk embraced Italians who opened up ice cream parlours a century ago that are still run by the same families today. Ditto there is a large Thai community in the Valleys and now these communities are embracing Ukrainians. This is Britain. And always has been, a mish mash of MANY cultures, religions and identities. You evidently don't appear to be remotely ' fearful' of writing your opinions or so ' oppressed' by these so called ' barbaric regimes' that you might fear retaliation by speaking your mind so vehemently......so I'm not sure why you feel the way you do.
@@janeknight3434 A large fiscal study by the University of London found that immigrants brought 12% more to the UK economy than they took out. This is no surprise as historically this has been the case.
We empaths and HSP’s need to take good care of ourselves in this age. I feel everything and that energy is decidedly negative. There are so many terrified people and the news so bad that sometimes we all need to go full on Hobbit. Thankfully I have my weaving and spinning as a diversion and I start planting seedlings in the next week. This, as the man said, is a world where spirits are killed and eaten.
With the farce of war you would think mankind would have realised by now nothing good comes of it. Don't forget to clean the chimney after Winter, a chore easily passed by in the busyness of gardens. The peace in your garden is precious =-) Take care.
Frankly, I'm tired of it all! . We are better when we try to understsnd each other and support one another. Labels tear us apart and are meant for jars in our pantries and around plants in the garden. The only label we share is "humsn being" in all of its colors, beliefs & identities.
Colette, you have created a beautiful LIVING sanctuary, insulated from the toxicity of the outside world. Thank you for sharing your journey and all the blessings that come from honouring Her.
It’s a horrible time Colette with everything going on. Thank God spring is here and I can start sowing my seeds to take my mind of everything. Glad you’re back.
Good to hear your voice, dear friend! The outer world is upside down. We are silent warriors; women standing against patriarchy, we who honor and love the Mother, we who love creativity and compassion. We will prevail! Blessings! 💚🦋💙
Hello, as l am fairly new to your channel but have in the past visited, and never comment l will do so today. Like you, l have also been very affected with what's happening in the world. l have lost weight from not eating and have trouble sleeping. Thank god, l am feeling better because l have left it in gods hands and with lots of prayers hope for peace. l spend my days baking, sewing, and doing anything that keeps me from watching the never ending bad news. l have turned to reading the bible with my coffee first thing in the morning, and have found peace within. God Bless and keep busy, but pray for peace!
Thank you for mentioning the atrocities. Too many people of IG/RUclips are carrying on as if nothing has happened. I know many are fearful but this is exactly how we come controlled - fear. It is time to speak up and speak out and work to changing things, but as you said, we need to take some time for ourselves as well. The cottage looks lovely, makes we wish I was living there.
You're not alone! Just breathe and talk to God above....you're so lucky to be where you are, I would love to run there and get away from the world. ENJOY
You have co-created a healing sanctuary on those 3 acres Colette. So beautiful. We understand what you are feeling. Many of us feel it too. But the wheel must turn and all things will pass. Much love and blessings to you and Patsy xxx
Thank you for your video Colette. You inspire me to carry on! Terrible arthritis in knees and ankles exacerbated by breast cancer meds has limited my gardening abilities. I will not let it rob me of my love of gardening and all things nature! Just takes me longer to get things done but that’s ok! Setting simple goals. Thank you very much for the beautiful videos of your gardens, cottage, and most of all, sweet Patsy!! 🌻🌺🌻
@@valentinaleissler4212I use a folding, easily carried seat because I can't kneel. I got one knee replaced, but you can't kneel on the replacement or it voids the warranty. I made that last part up, but at least that knee doesn't swell up anymore.
@@jturtle5318 thank you very much for your suggestion! I was thinking of that and saw some that are available in the various gardening catalogs. I appreciate your help!! 🌺🌻🌺
Oh Colette so wonderful to hear your voice again… and Miss Patsy lounging in her domain… Its good to take time off to heal especially when this insane world can take its toll on sensitive people.. I hear you , I’m one of them …take care and Thankyou for taking the time to show us around your beautiful sanctuary…. Take care 💚💚💚
I do try and ignore the horrendous and inhuman things that are going on in this world and try and step back, but it is difficult as we all need each other, so isolating yourself from it all seems impossible. The last four years in my family has and is breaking us up…Some go along with the narrative, which of course they are entitled particularly in the area of what goes inside the body! The concern is that they expect others to follow even though my sister went suddenly ❤ My father was born near Cork and he came to the U.K. in the fourties’. Our town is on the coast and everyone knew one another and there were the old family names… Now we do not feel that we belong and we somehow have lost our identity. My parents and my husbands parents would not recognise it anymore😢And sadly it is no longer safe!
Your garden is heavenly and I wish I was there with you. We could walk through the beautiful garden you've created and talk about it. Cheers from Vancouver Island. Chin up my dear❤❤❤❤
The world have become more chaotic and people without empathy. Yet with all that as been happening, those of us whose souls are affected, are the ones still engaging to do what is within our means and power to allow light to shine in dark places. I am a new subscriber to your channel and I find this, been my first already so soothing and inspiring, with all the lovely plants in all the nooks and crannies. I have a lot of catching up to do...without any disappointment. Blessings to you as well.
A beauty of a day at Bealtaine. Your entrance looks just lovely. You have been working so hard. (Good for the soul work.) Thank you for sharing Colette. 💚
So glad to hear from you. I was beginning to wonder if something happened. The woodland is stunning and out by the road, looks amazing!! You really did a lot of work there and it's beautiful and fresh. It looks like with all the clearing and trimming, there will be more sunlight in the woodland, so I wonder what new things will pop up to meet the sun. I, too, have been feeling so unsettled and kind of mad at the world around me feeling. There is just so much stupid stuff going on everywhere you turn today, and more and more bad decisions are made that only affect us, not those deciding what's going to happen next. Being an empath, my goal this year was to only observe not to absorb all the negative stuff around me and let me tell you I am far from there and it's a challenge. Luckily, thoes of us who know the healing power of working in the earth, it does heal ones soul.
You are right to step away every now and then, we 'need' to do that for our mental health. The madness of the world will carry on, no matter what we do or feel. Look after you, spend time in nature... as you say, it is worth it, summer won't be long x
Each year as you build and create more, your gardens are looking more and more gorgeous Colette, The entrance is so uplifting. Enjoy the lovely long spring.
Dear Collette You being an empath - I understand completely, I am one too and I gave a talk on it recently, it can be a blessing or a curse . Thank you for the guided beautiful tour, luv n light to you and dear Patsy x
Your videos are a balm to the soul in a turbulent world! I appreciate your focus on the magic of nature and the cozy charms of hearth & home! I really like your outdoor suspended fire pit & kettle, very “witchy” and reminds me of a pre-Raphaelite painting. 💗🌱🔥
We missed you, Colette. The year ’s at the spring, And day ’s at the morn; Morning ’s at seven; The hill-side ’s dew-pearl'd; The lark ’s on the wing; The snail ’s on the thorn; God ’s in His heaven- All ’s right with the world! ~ Robert Browning
Another uplifting and heartfelt video. I feel an observer in a chaotic, and insane world, so I create my own reality, and lift myself up in the energy of joy. I allow myself to process these frustrating down times, but not to stay in this energy too long. I resonate with how you must be feeling, and our light energy and manifestations are very powerful. Blessings to you Colette, and hugs to Patsy. Take care. Love from Australia. xxx
Hello from Sweden!🇸🇪 So happy to see that you are back! The garden is so fantastic, and I so adore the Rhododendron with it's pink flowers.... It is really gorgrous with all it's flowers. And I so have felt quite anxious and have had a lot of fearful thought lately, the last couple of mounths, because of what is happening around the world, especially here in Europe and all this becaduse some are very gready.... I hope it all comes back to them!!! Anyway it is really nice that Sprin and Summersoon are here so We can be fully occupied focusing on the green hard work. 🤗💖🌱🥀🇸🇪🇸🇪
It is so inspiring and pleasurable to have this walk around your garden and woodland. What a joy to see this established planting, with pockets of interest everywhere. It is a beautiful sanctuary, and the more places of true beauty we create, the more peace we can bring into the world. You are doing a great job, Collette and thank you for sharing your garden and peaceful moments with us!
You have created a safe,peaceful,paradise. Stay close to home and nature and you will be better able to handle the sadness of the world. Thats how i survive and thrive. Hugs to you
Although we have had an extremely mild winter in the Beartooth Mountains of Montana, everything is still white with snow and sleeping. Lovely to hear your soothing Wood Pigeons and high chirps of other birds. What a sanctuary you have built for them and yourself. Thanks for sharing it's rebirthing with us.
The colour blue you have painted on one portion of your homestead is beautiful, it looks the same shade as Haint blue...fascinating lore around the colour Haint blue.
What a wonderful place of beauty you have created for yourself and all the woodland creatures. I also find comfort and joy in my garden here in Northern California. I so hope that kindness and compassion will dampen the sadness in our world. Thank you for your videos .
Here in Wiltshire the rhubarb has been up a while now. The peach tree in full blossom no surprise, but still beautiful to see every year. My heart/soul/m eyes skips with the joy…with my Mother Earth.
I'm so happy to hear your lovely voice dear Colette. The world has become a scary place, but your little corner of paradise helps mother earth to heal on bigger basis. Blessings to you both.❤
What a transformation of your roadside beds and it will make it so much safer for you coming out onto the road with the car. Lovely to see nature bursting into life once again; here in the Welsh valleys it is still so wet and cold so we are a bit further behind but still I can feel spring eager to get going. So calming to listen to you as you wander around your little world.
Yes, I agree with you Colette, when you rush around for nature you are rewarded ten fold for your hard work. Alternately Mankind EXPECTS you to rush around and gives only pain stress and anguish . Blessings in your garden journey this spring .
Watching all your videos again.l watch them on the big screen noticed this one didn’t have a like when ive already watched them your videos are a breath of fresh air harmony and feeling alive and calm.im on my phone watching the now and dont know how my likes are on when l watch on my phone.ive already subscribed cause l Absaloutly love all your videos watch them over and over again and always learn something so Thsnkyou Collette ❤❤❤❤❤❤
A lovely calming video. If I had my own land the first thing I would do is get a little willow coppice going. I confess I have no idea what's happened in the world in the last week and a half as I stopped watching the news a long time ago. I used to oscillate between perpetual anger and hopelessness, fuelled and made much worse by being on Facebook & Twitter. I can think much more clearly now that I've turned my back on all of it. Wilful ignorance maybe, but my impact on world events is exactly as it was back then (zero), and my own little world is calmer and more productive, and my thoughts and opinions are more authentically my own.
Your work on your drive..at the road side.. is amazing! You must have a 36 hour day to do as much as you do! Blessings, Colette. You are an inspiration.
Blessings to you Colette. Most of us need some time to step away from the outside world. Thank you so much for inviting us back into your beautiful garden and home. A wonderful place to find peace. ❤
Peace and sanctuary to you Colette - Your spring garden has helped with my winter doldrums. We are still under snow. One aspect about all the " white" and grays, it has turned me inwards to reflect on so many things. I was ignoring and putting off exploring these coming green months. Our spring/summer is so fleeting. Not sure what year your Stanley is, but our kitchen stove is 1930. She was a right mess when my brother-in law gave it to me. It had sat in a farm cabin for at least 40 years and was rust laden. Took me a year to restore with trial and error. She is grand now, so there is hope. Perhaps you could place an advert in the paper for someone who can restore a Stanley. I have always like those stoves. The outside world is at our small town's door. We are doing our best to keep it there, as well as taking sanctuary on our farm. We no longer advertise, but rather make a modest living by selling hay and livestock to the local communities. Our peace and privacy is more important. Take heart Colette. Enjoy your family and your land ~ Diane
good to see you back, I too have been overwhelmed with things and have been "hiding" out for awhile now. I have had to turn off the news and put on my reiki/fairy music and get outside more. So I totally get the hibernation need. I always look forward to a stroll in your garden. I use to walk with my bestie in the woods with our dogs everyday. Then I had to move and so that has been missing for awhile now. So, your strolls cheers my heart.
I really don’t know how you do it all, I think you are amazing 🥰 I severely restrict the amount of news I watch these days. It’s all too much that I have no control over . I just try & be the best I can be.
I think you are a miracle worker. Your love for nature blooms in all your footsteps. This is a lovely video and I enjoyed it even more the second time around. Sending love and respect. Kisses for Patsy.
As I watch, I think, it's serene, a sanctuary and haven. Thanks for sharing. So good to see it coming to life again. I'm expecting some sheep braying in the distance soon.
There is much stress and confusion out there. It’s wonderful we have our gardens to bring balance to our lives. I love your lovely Eden and enjoy listening to your voice. Welcome back Colette. 🥰

@@jturtle5318 thank you very much for your suggestion! I was thinking of that and saw some that are available in the various gardening catalogs. I appreciate your help!! 🌺🌻🌺
Its always a pleasure to walk through the woodland with you!😊🌸🌹🌺🌲
Oh Colette so wonderful to hear your voice again… and Miss Patsy lounging in her domain… Its good to take time off to heal especially when this insane world can take its toll on sensitive people.. I hear you , I’m one of them …take care and Thankyou for taking the time to show us around your beautiful sanctuary…. Take care 💚💚💚
I do try and ignore the horrendous and inhuman things that are going on in this world and try and step back, but it is difficult as we all need each other, so isolating yourself from it all seems impossible. The last four years in my family has and is breaking us up…Some go along with the narrative, which of course they are entitled particularly in the area of what goes inside the body! The concern is that they expect others to follow even though my sister went suddenly ❤ My father was born near Cork and he came to the U.K. in the fourties’. Our town is on the coast and everyone knew one another and there were the old family names… Now we do not feel that we belong and we somehow have lost our identity. My parents and my husbands parents would not recognise it anymore😢And sadly it is no longer safe!
Oh my gosh! The rhododendron is simply beautiful! Everything is so pretty! The earth has awakened Colette!
Mine has no flower buds on it yet.
@@margarethughes3763 Rest assured, they will come!
Your garden is heavenly and I wish I was there with you. We could walk through the beautiful garden you've created and talk about it.
Cheers from Vancouver Island.
Chin up my dear❤❤❤❤
Thank you
Gardens look stunning as always. Your brave soul keeps you grounded. Blessings to you Colette
The world have become more chaotic and people without empathy. Yet with all that as been happening, those of us whose souls are affected, are the ones still engaging to do what is within our means and power to allow light to shine in dark places. I am a new subscriber to your channel and I find this, been my first already so soothing and inspiring, with all the lovely plants in all the nooks and crannies. I have a lot of catching up to do...without any disappointment. Blessings to you as well.
A beauty of a day at Bealtaine. Your entrance looks just lovely. You have been working so hard. (Good for the soul work.) Thank you for sharing Colette. 💚
Oh, Dear Colette, I can hear the strain in your voice. And we breathe.
Looks so pretty in front. ! Wow great job 👏
So glad to hear from you. I was beginning to wonder if something happened. The woodland is stunning and out by the road, looks amazing!! You really did a lot of work there and it's beautiful and fresh. It looks like with all the clearing and trimming, there will be more sunlight in the woodland, so I wonder what new things will pop up to meet the sun. I, too, have been feeling so unsettled and kind of mad at the world around me feeling. There is just so much stupid stuff going on everywhere you turn today, and more and more bad decisions are made that only affect us, not those deciding what's going to happen next. Being an empath, my goal this year was to only observe not to absorb all the negative stuff around me and let me tell you I am far from there and it's a challenge. Luckily, thoes of us who know the healing power of working in the earth, it does heal ones soul.
You are right to step away every now and then, we 'need' to do that for our mental health. The madness of the world will carry on, no matter what we do or feel. Look after you, spend time in nature... as you say, it is worth it, summer won't be long x
Each year as you build and create more, your gardens are looking more and more gorgeous Colette, The entrance is so uplifting. Enjoy the lovely long spring.
Your garden is so beautiful I love just seeing it. I can't imagine what it would be like walking it. From Missouri USA
Dear Collette You being an empath - I understand completely, I am one too and I gave a talk on it recently, it can be a blessing or a curse . Thank you for the guided beautiful tour, luv n light to you and dear Patsy x
Welcome back . I agree things happening in the world so scary and sad .❤❤❤❤
Your videos are a balm to the soul in a turbulent world! I appreciate your focus on the magic of nature and the cozy charms of hearth & home! I really like your outdoor suspended fire pit & kettle, very “witchy” and reminds me of a pre-Raphaelite painting. 💗🌱🔥
Look at the flowers! Spring has definitely sprung! WOW!
I can’t believe how early spring arrives in Ireland. So beautiful. Best to ignore the world as best you can. Stay safe.
Yes empathic here too, I'm really struggling rn.. trying to find my ground in this current madness is difficult.. ❤
Thank you Collette my mams dad came from cottage on tullamore, they grew veg and made butter etc., they had peat fires x
Home to one of the finest whiskeys in Ireland in my estimation!
Thank You for the update Colette. Blessings to You and Patsy.☘✌.
We missed you, Colette.
The year ’s at the spring,
And day ’s at the morn;
Morning ’s at seven;
The hill-side ’s dew-pearl'd;
The lark ’s on the wing;
The snail ’s on the thorn;
God ’s in His heaven-
All ’s right with the world! ~ Robert Browning
Another uplifting and heartfelt video. I feel an observer in a chaotic, and insane world, so I create my own reality, and lift myself up in the energy of joy. I allow myself to process these frustrating down times, but not to stay in this energy too long. I resonate with how you must be feeling, and our light energy and manifestations are very powerful. Blessings to you Colette, and hugs to Patsy. Take care. Love from Australia. xxx
Thank you for such a lovely, positive comment.❤
Time outs are essential in this world, so happy you are doing well. Sending lots of love
Thanks
Thanks 🙏 so much
Hello from Sweden!🇸🇪
So happy to see that you are back! The garden is so fantastic, and I so adore the Rhododendron with it's pink flowers.... It is really gorgrous with all it's flowers.
And I so have felt quite anxious and have had a lot of fearful thought lately, the last couple of mounths, because of what is happening around the world, especially here in Europe and all this becaduse some are very gready....
I hope it all comes back to them!!!
Anyway it is really nice that Sprin and Summersoon are here so We can be fully occupied focusing on the green hard work.
🤗💖🌱🥀🇸🇪🇸🇪
I have the same feeling that it is "rush, rush, rush". There is so much to do in the garden now.
Welcome back ❤
It is so inspiring and pleasurable to have this walk around your garden and woodland. What a joy to see this established planting, with pockets of interest everywhere. It is a beautiful sanctuary, and the more places of true beauty we create, the more peace we can bring into the world. You are doing a great job, Collette and thank you for sharing your garden and peaceful moments with us!
You have created a safe,peaceful,paradise. Stay close to home and nature and you will be better able to handle the sadness of the world. Thats how i survive and thrive. Hugs to you
Although we have had an extremely mild winter in the Beartooth Mountains of Montana, everything is still white with snow and sleeping. Lovely to hear your soothing Wood Pigeons and high chirps of other birds. What a sanctuary you have built for them and yourself. Thanks for sharing it's rebirthing with us.
Love this ❤❤❤
Spring will show herself here in about one month. I am enchanted to see how early it arrives in Ireland. Peace and Blessings Colette and everyone! 🌻🏡🌲
The colour blue you have painted on one portion of your homestead is beautiful, it looks the same shade as Haint blue...fascinating lore around the colour Haint blue.
Beautiful garden everyday is such a wonderful day lovely weather for everyone this year ❤️ your place is beautiful
Sending love and blessings. It’s certainly a tough time 💜
The birds🎶😊❤
What a wonderful place of beauty you have created for yourself and all the woodland creatures. I also find comfort and joy in my garden here in Northern California. I so hope that kindness and compassion will dampen the sadness in our world. Thank you for your
videos .
Thank you Colette it's good to hear from you again and to see all the different shades of green.
An oasis in a troubled world ❤
Here in Wiltshire the rhubarb has been up a while now. The peach tree in full blossom no surprise, but still beautiful to see every year. My heart/soul/m eyes skips with the joy…with my Mother Earth.
What a lovely peaceful tour. What solace nature provides.
What a sanctuary you’ve built🌿🩷 every home should have this calm. And a library lol! I’m so itching to get in the garden.
Listen to those little birds singing their little hearts out. So peaceful, you have a true paradise there.
I’m glad to see you and sweet Patsy again…feeling sad and helpless and you made the day a bit better…💜💜
So ready for Spring and getting into the garden. Watching things grow, and getting my hands in the dirt seems to bring so much clarity to everything.
I'm so happy to hear your lovely voice dear Colette. The world has become a scary place, but your little corner of paradise helps mother earth to heal on bigger basis. Blessings to you both.❤
So Beautiful Colette, you have done such a Lovely job in all your acres. Love to You & Patsy 🙏🙏
It is wonderful to see you back. Everything is looking beautiful in your woodland. Have a blessed week.
What a transformation of your roadside beds and it will make it so much safer for you coming out onto the road with the car. Lovely to see nature bursting into life once again; here in the Welsh valleys it is still so wet and cold so we are a bit further behind but still I can feel spring eager to get going. So calming to listen to you as you wander around your little world.
Nice to see you back. Thank you for sharing your garden and home with us. Blessings 💜
Yes, I agree with you Colette, when you rush around for nature you are rewarded ten fold for your hard work. Alternately Mankind EXPECTS you to rush around and gives only pain stress and anguish .
Blessings in your garden journey this spring .
Watching all your videos again.l watch them on the big screen noticed this one didn’t have a like when ive already watched them your videos are a breath of fresh air harmony and feeling alive and calm.im on my phone watching the now and dont know how my likes are on when l watch on my phone.ive already subscribed cause l Absaloutly love all your videos watch them over and over again and always learn something so Thsnkyou Collette ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Relieved to know you and Patsy are well and good! So nice to "walk" around your woodland again. 🍀
A lovely calming video. If I had my own land the first thing I would do is get a little willow coppice going. I confess I have no idea what's happened in the world in the last week and a half as I stopped watching the news a long time ago. I used to oscillate between perpetual anger and hopelessness, fuelled and made much worse by being on Facebook & Twitter. I can think much more clearly now that I've turned my back on all of it. Wilful ignorance maybe, but my impact on world events is exactly as it was back then (zero), and my own little world is calmer and more productive, and my thoughts and opinions are more authentically my own.
Your work on your drive..at the road side.. is amazing! You must have a 36 hour day to do as much as you do! Blessings, Colette. You are an inspiration.
Blessings to you Colette. Most of us need some time to step away from the outside world. Thank you so much for inviting us back into your beautiful garden and home. A wonderful place to find peace. ❤
I love everything about your property!!❤ 🏡 Blessings to you as well 😊
Peace and sanctuary to you Colette - Your spring garden has helped with my winter doldrums. We are still under snow. One aspect about all the " white" and grays, it has turned me inwards to reflect on so many things. I was ignoring and putting off exploring these coming green months. Our spring/summer is so fleeting. Not sure what year your Stanley is, but our kitchen stove is 1930. She was a right mess when my brother-in law gave it to me. It had sat in a farm cabin for at least 40 years and was rust laden. Took me a year to restore with trial and error. She is grand now, so there is hope. Perhaps you could place an advert in the paper for someone who can restore a Stanley. I have always like those stoves.
The outside world is at our small town's door. We are doing our best to keep it there, as well as taking sanctuary on our farm. We no longer advertise, but rather make a modest living by selling hay and livestock to the local communities. Our peace and privacy is more important. Take heart Colette. Enjoy your family and your land ~ Diane
good to see you back, I too have been overwhelmed with things and have been "hiding" out for awhile now. I have had to turn off the news and put on my reiki/fairy music and get outside more. So I totally get the hibernation need. I always look forward to a stroll in your garden. I use to walk with my bestie in the woods with our dogs everyday. Then I had to move and so that has been missing for awhile now. So, your strolls cheers my heart.
Lovely area by the road,you have been working hard.
I really don’t know how you do it all, I think you are amazing 🥰 I severely restrict the amount of news I watch these days. It’s all too much that I have no control over . I just try & be the best I can be.
WHAT A MAGICAL/SPIRITUAL PLACE
I think you are a miracle worker. Your love for nature blooms in all your footsteps. This is a lovely video and I enjoyed it even more the second time around. Sending love and respect. Kisses for Patsy.
As I watch, I think, it's serene, a sanctuary and haven. Thanks for sharing. So good to see it coming to life again. I'm expecting some sheep braying in the distance soon.
Gorgeous ❤
There is much stress and confusion out there. It’s wonderful we have our gardens to bring balance to our lives. I love your lovely Eden and enjoy listening to your voice. Welcome back Colette. 🥰
Our disconnect from Earth Mother has created confusion and fear. To be in the garden, to create a garden helps to reconnect ❤
Lovely walk with you through your homeland. This is like visiting with a dear friend. Willows are my favorite tree.
