Hello lovely people from all around the world! Let me know which bird song you would like as a longer video... 1. The dawn chorus with a real time sunrise Or 2. Birds eating with bird song background. Stay well my friends 💕🌷🧚♀️
Thank you for the gorgeous Sounds and scenes... in lockdown in South Africa and we are not allowed out for exercise or to walk the dogs...so I imagined I was walking out there in Ireland...
For once in my life I'm actually enjoying my life in lockdown no pressure with no routine just breathing and revaluating everything about my life after Corona viruse has passed I'm going to lead a much more simplistic minimalistic life than I do already 💕🙏🧚🕊️
I agree, it makes you appreciate what God created and living a simple life. We get so caught up with life that we don’t take the time to take a deep breathe and revaluate life and enjoy it. I wish you the best God Bless you and stay safe!
Hi Niamh! My name is Skyler I'm watching this video before bed (It's currently 10pm here in Australia) and I just wanted to say that I appreciate the amount of work and effort you put into all of your videos. They're so peaceful to watch and I'm sending so much love to you and your loved ones during this time of uncertainty and thank you for always creating such wonderful and uplifting videos 💜
cocopops994 Hi dear Skyler, so far yet so close. Sending loads of love to you and your family. Thanks for your kind words. I love making the videos and I’m really glad you like them 💜✨🌺
Here in Italy people is suffering, we need hope and strenght more than ever. So, thanks for this moment of beauty and peace. Now i feel grateful again.
Beautiful message, thank you! One of the silver linings from this situation is I am hoping that society as a whole will FINALLY get the message: use what you have, buy only what you need, don’t waste, respect the earth, be kind, and appreciate the simple pleasures. Bless you for your wonderful videos, which give so much comfort!
These days, I’m so grateful that I can wake without needing an alarm-I wake up gently, and I have the time to bask in my bed for a moment. I like to start the day watering my roses and doing a batch of laundry if I need to. 🌹
I don't know how I found you but I am so glad I did. You seem like an angel amidst this chaos right now! Keep doing what you're doing. We appreciate you 💚
No matter what struggle or hardship or uncertainty we are facing, life must go on, tomorrow will always come. It is in that simple fact that we may put our fears or anxieties to rest, and become even better than we were before. 🌹
Hello from Madrid! I'm so looking forward firstly to cuddle my parents, daughter, family and friends♥️♥️. I would even say anyone I meet when this is over! and having a walk 😍😍 Thank you for your calming videos. They help me relax. I enjoy seeing you doing things, potter around and watching the nature surrounding you. Ireland must be such a beautiful country! 🍀💚Take care. Lots of love ♥️♥️
@@helenculhane5737 thank you so much ♥️. Trying to the best we can. Lookafter yourselves. Spain is a beautiful country. Hoping to visit Ireland too💚. We will. 💪🏽 We're all in this together. The whole world, we can do this together you'll see. Lots of love ♥️♥️🌈🌈 #stayathome #quedateencasa #juntossomosmasfuertes
Hello Nimah :). I have been wondering how you are feeling, being a nurse and all. It's so good to see you well. So much gratitude for all the health care workers, first responders, grocers, and garbage collectors.
As horrible as this virus is, I do think that there is good to come from it. Nature is able to breath cleaner air, our pets are getting more time with their hoomans, and people are slowing down, taking in their surroundings, and starting to see what is most important to them. stay safe and wash your hands xx
As a disabled person, with RA. It is so relaxing to watch your videos in the morning. Mornings can be so hard for a person suffering with rheumatoid arthritis. So my meditation is your channel. I do feel very relaxed afterwards.
Indigo Brooklyn i have ra as well! i always struggled to find a morning routine that helped me but this one is fantastic and gives good advice. i’m glad you’re finding it helpful as well ❤️
I find her voice very comforting. After a day of dealing with work, deadlines, emails, crazy drivers, hand sanitizer, masks etc. her voice combined with images of nature is soothing. Thanks from Canada.
I start off my day by making the beds and playing nature music. Then, throughout my day between caring for my disabled son & doing regular household chores, I try to sew or craft. Whenever possible weather pertaining I crack open a window & or, light incense and play my singing bowl, to help release stress.
I'm in awe of the beauty of the land your have near your (lovely) home. Just being in areas like that eases my anxiety a great deal. If I can hear wind in the leaves and birds chirping, it's a good sign.
Good morning😊 I love your simplicity. I’m awake. I start my day with a 16 oz celery juice. I go into my sunroom and with my juice I sit there quiet, in that room I pray, I cry, I praise and I give thanks or I stay quiet. I pray everyone stays well. Our health in number one. Blessings
Forgive my folly, because of course I do not know your life..❣ I do not see one single thing you could do to improve you videos. But if I could be selfish, lol, it would be that they were longer. (Just a compliment , sincerely felt) One serious wish would be you might publish a book...filled with all things you, recipes, philosophies, country history..many lush pictures ! Oohhhh that's a book for buying and for gifting !❣❣❣
@@FairylandCottage I would be the first to buy any book you publish, especially if it's on living a slower and more meaningful life (with tips, recipes, and nice illustrations) 😍
Thank you Niamh. Such a wonderful start to my day with you here in Ontario Canada. Spring has arrived here too and yes we are self isolating. I am fortunate to live in a small cottage myself across from the lake. Hear the geese and swans calling. Love to listen and watch you every Sunday to remind us all to appreciate the little things especially now in these times. We are all in this together.
There is value to be found in exploring your own life when your interaction with others is no longer a part of your daily routine. For many of us there is harmony in this place. For those without, dare to explore it. While listening in silence, you may just hear the soft inner voice that has been there all along. What is it saying? 🙏
I assume you work in the hospital... If you are doctor or nurse or from any other medical profession, heaps to gratitude and salute to you. God bless you.
I love the combination of videos that you share, the food recipes, the sustainable beauty tips, and the sustainable house cleaning tips plus the woodland and nature walks. I mostly aspire to living like this although in a built up area living with three men who don't share my philosophy. But I live in my little oasis of my mind where I do all I can to help me and the planet survive. God bless your good works
Hey Niamh, I'm Samarpita....Hope u'r well so as your country.....Please stay safe....In these quarantine days one thought always come to my mind is your teachings....U always say to live simply and sustainably.... Don't live for your possessions but live for your mother nature...But we don't listen to u....& See today our mother nature is taking revenge....We r all home quarantined......But one thing is very positive is our nature is healing....Our country India is over crowded and so noisy....But now it's like we are living in any island where the only sound is of birds', wind's and sometimes our neighbours ( but not so much).... I hope everybody in this world is learning lessons that don't spoil your nature.....Plzzzz stay safe, stay inside.....loads of love from my side to yours.....💕💕💞💞💓💓💓💓
Thank you for brightening up our world! Your videos have come to mean so much to us. Stay safe and take special care. Kind regards from Upstate New York, US.
Beautiful way to start your day. We've been practicing yoga followed a short meditation then joining a worldwide chanting with Deva Premal and Miten. It's really wonderful connecting with people around the world ( like you ) lifting spirits and sharing love. 😊🙇💞💖
such a lovely video! I've been thinking about this situation a lot. Living simply is not just good for us, in a way it's also our duty to society. We shouldn't take more than we need, whether that's food, healthcare or toilet paper. How much burden could be lifted from our healthcare systems if people chose to eat healthy, take a walk and meditate, instead of ordering takeout and watching netflix on the couch? I struggle with my weight and I've always felt bad about it... but this crisis just drives home how my actions regarding my own health could impact other people. I'm feeling really guilty. What a strange wakeup call it's been...
ta vh we are all forced to live more simply. You are a conscientious person indeed. No need to be hard on yourself. Everyone is doing the best with what they know. When we know better we do better.
Your videos are so calming, and comforting, in a way that feels like coming home. I hope this doesn’t come across as offensive, but I could listen to your voice without hearing the words and it would still be a peaceful experience. But then really listening in, you have a unique, quiet wisdom that helps me to re-center on what things are truly important in life. So thank you. I’m grateful for your presence in this world, and how you share it❤️
Hi Niamh, thank you for posting another wonderful video. I was thinking as I watched it, that I hope that slow living continues as a lifestyle for people when this is all over. I know certain aspects of life will be back to some kind of 'normal' at some point, but I hope that we remember what it is to stop, pause and learn to love and accept ourselves and the loved ones around us (which this time period has sort of forced us to do). To remember the contentment that comes from reading, drawing, walking, gardening, cleaning (or whatever you find yourself doing). I live in a nice area, but it is not nearly as nice as the one you live in. Stay safe & well. (Oh and I like the birdsong at the feeder! ;-) ) -Diane
Very glad to have found your channel, even if I can’t currently follow your more practical tips very easily. I’ve spent a lot of my time at home in the last few months due to being on a gap year between uni and postgrad, but now my parents and sister are home all day so I’ve spent a lot of time with either earplugs or headphones in, desperately trying to block out the sounds of other people. I’ve spent my time reading and researching and playing music, generally distracting myself from the world, and it’s difficult to do any of these simple tasks like cooking in a quiet or mindful way when I’m surrounded by people. For that reason I really appreciate being able to watch you go about these tasks, to hear all the sounds of your day that in my house are drowned out by my family.
I already lived a fairly simple life, but this has helped me see how much deeper I can go. I was born a farm girl, so have always gardened, now I am focusing on expanding even more. I have always wanted to experiment with sourdough starter, so I am doing that. My plan for my "golden years", has always been to work from home and homestead. I have a small home business. I am still able to go to my little part time job that I love, twice a week, otherwise I realized recently that I am already living my plan. I am using this time as a tool to tweek things.I am full of gratitude. Thank you as always for your calm presence.
Love this. So peaceful. I am living in a construction condo building 6 all around me. I don’t hear the birds anymore that used to be around in the spring. It’s very noisy. I can’t go out and I miss it. I hope this will soon pass and we can continue to more normal life. I appreciate all the front line workers and I send out silent prayers that we will win this year!
One good thing about being shut in is the return to the old ways; time to bake and clean and time for a cup of coffee or tea. I have caught up on my sewing and am working on a linen rag rug. This makes your videos all the more needed. Thanks so much
Thank you Niamh, a beautiful morning indeed! I'm in western Canada and it is still winter here. We live in the country and feel so fortunate to be together with our adult children. My morning routine is to read (currently Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline Myss), write in my journal, and then meditate. It is a lovely way to start the day. I am grateful for this message to slow down, be creative and feel gratitude.
Thank you for the calming video. Early morning in my part of the U.S.(West Virginia). Scary times. I'm praying for us all. Don't know how or when this will end.
Don´t worry too much. It will end, I think it won´t take more than a couple of weeks. It´s a severe flu, that much is true, but mankind has seen things far worse, just think of the plague or the Spanish flu or illnesses that were incurable in the past. However what we will most certainly see after covid is a crash of world economy which could be much more dangerous that the current disease. Take care, love from Germany
Greetings from America. For the past two weeks my daughter and I have been staying inside and only going out for food and household needs. I really enjoy watching your beautiful video's...they are a calm oasis during these scary times. Take care and stay safe.
Hello Niamh! Wilma here from Manila Philippines. Sending you lots of love, really appreciate and love all your videos, please never get tired of doing it, I'm your number 1 fan. This is exactly what the world and everybody needs now. Wishing and praying for our Mother Earths healing. Mabuhay ka (Live Great)! ❤
I live in New Zealand and people are similar enjoying outdoor activities being resourceful,mindful to ourselves to others around us and being responsible for our planet. Love your beautiful Irish voice🇳🇿❤️
More ramblings in the countryside please. Love the spring fauna in Ireland. A quality world indeed. Thank you for your positive words. I think when this time passes we will all be in a better place. A better quality place. A more creative, self reliant, peaceful state.🙏
Hi Niamh. This time at home is very precious for me! I love spending time with my family and relax as much as I can. Thank you for this special content. 💖
Niamh, I look forward to your videos every Sunday morning. I find them rejuvenating, and inspirational. Also, thank you for being a nurse and taking care of others. I know that what healthcare workers do today is with great risk. Take care and thank you.
Love this one too.. I requested a video on quarantine on instagram and u replied that a morning routine was coming this sunday.. I didn't expect this to be so calming .. 💛
Good morning Fairyland! Calm and peaceful. How pleasant in days such as these. We are on a stay home order but are still able to go on walks. So daily we walk our three dogs and I am able to enjoy this beautiful spring weather and flowers blooming. It is soothing to the soul.
Hi Niamh, inspirational video as always! To be honest with you I don't really want things to go back to normal, if by normal we mean the rat race people around the world have been used to all their lives. This quarantine might not be the best thing in the world, but hopefully is teaching many people to appreciate more what they have and a simpler, slower life. So, when this will be over, I hope we'll all find the courage to change our habits for good, as the Earth is trying to heal now and we need to keep helping her doing that for a long time. Let's all give up useless consumerism, cars, and all those things that make our life and other creatures' life difficult and stressful. Let's enjoy what Mother Nature offers us for free every day. A new life, a new world is possibile, it's up to us all. Lots of love ❤
So glad I found you. I will never have my dream home in the country but I can live it through you. I a striving for a more simple and materialistically less life.
I put this video on for my kids while I gave the baby a nap this morning. They huffed at first, but by the time I came back in the room, they were proclaiming all the great things they learned from you :) Thank you for the relaxing and well-produced content
Beautiful video as always!! We are in New Zealand, and my family and I are very fortunate to live in the countryside, so we've been going out for walks every single day. Usually we are fairweather everything-ers! Hehe... But right now we get out for at least an hour, rain, hail or shine. I have a nearly 5 year old and nearly 7 year old, and they are thriving with the daily explorations. For us this has been a time of absolute blessing and an opportunity to spend real quality time as a family. Stay well!! xx
I love your videos! You are so inspiring. I yarn for a simple life, surrounded by nature. So your videos are like a breath of fresh air to me. What kind of jam is that? Elderberry? If yes, could you share the recipe with me please? Thank you. Have a wonderful Sunday! Greetings from Romania.
I live in a small town....so no rivers or woods to walk or pick any herbs along the way....but i do love my life...peaceful just like yours....i take my time doing the housework as i please n i love doing my crochet work...i love my country Malaysia
There is something so hopeful in finding that not every life is drastically changed by this pandemic. That's why living simply should be more of a goal for everyone: it's sustainable even during the hardest of times.
I am finding this forced slow down is helping me make changes. With extra time and without the temptations that are normally available I am finding success. Silver linings.
Dawn chorus would be lovely Niamh. Today, I will hand wash our bedding as the marina laundromat is closed due to Covid19. Luckily it is sunny and breezy so I can hang on some lines around the boat. Opening up the hatches, letting the fresh air flow through the boat. Ending the day with a glass of wine on the foredeck and watching the sunset if the rains don't come. Quiet. Peaceful. Take care and stay well, Niamh. My best to you and yours.
Hi Niamh, thank you for another lovely vlog. So heartening to see and hear the outdoor world when we Can't always access it so easily at the moment. Stay safe and well.
Fairyland cottage Thank you very much for this video! Sending you love and warm regards all the way from India to Ireland! Although presently we cannot go out of our homes, but I have this hope that I'll see a cleaner and more beautiful nature the day I will go out again! Mother Earth is healing 🌸
Love your videos Niamh. I’m from Donegal and I had great memories-of my father bringing us on walks to get the bogbine in a marshy area. We also used dock leaves to cure warts. My father also carved walking sticks and always brought us on nature walks naming all the different plants. We had a wonderful childhood all 13 of us
Thanks for another lovely view into the land, the flora and fauna around you. The little birds at the feeder at the end gave me joy. Living life in a rhythmical way is important and that can sustain us when things around us get wobbly. That is what I have had to stick to so that I keep my inner center, that and also having a practice of meditation or mindfulness help to keep the keel straight as we sail through uncharted waters. All the best to you and yours-good health!
We retired 3 years ago and have a routine each day, so for us the lock down hasn't affected us too much, we love being home and making food from scratch etc, sitting in the garden, a walk around the block, playing a game of cards, dinner and early to bed. I find it strange so many people have trouble doing nothing but enjoying some alone time and not running around the stores or working.
I also started my morning with porridge. I added sliced apple and a little brown sugar too! I love your videos so much, they give me a calm place to go during all of this this. So I just wanted to say thank you xx
Good morning! I love how your videos are the first ones I get on a Sunday morning. It is spring here in Canada too. Where I am the snow is just leaving. I did a walk about yesterday, and was just thrilled to see the rhubarb coming up and some spring onions too. Also some bulbs were surfacing. I can’t wait to get out to the garden, this will be my first spring in this cottage. What kind of birds were those on the feeder? They are too sweet. What were they eating? Did you make their food? I can’t wait to get the feeders set up. I moved here in October and didn’t get a chance to do it. I want to plant a tea garden as well. Have a beautiful week. ☮️💕🌱
What a beautiful environment around you. I love watching your videos and sharing it with you. I am vulnerable and need to stay home and I’m fine with my cat and all my hobbies but love enjoying the world through your eyes. Thank you.
well, it is now July and the second wave in many places is happening. to me is so scary as altho I am thankful for a paycheck, where I work was considered essential workers. so, now we are having many more cases of the virus and it is stressful! so with that thought, thank you so much for your video! your voice and the video itself is so soothing! something that is badly needed right now! and I do believe that mother earth is taking this time to regroup! your videos are truly enchanting! xoxo
Your videos are so calming and pure, so beautiful. I love the way you describe your life, the sounds, your voice, the colors, everything! You are a bliss.
Thank you for another soothing video, Niamh! I have been thinking about you and your loved ones in Ireland, and how you are faring as a nurse in this difficult time. Sending you gratitude and prayers for excellent health and well being. You are so right...we now have the opportunity "to choose what we let back into our life". 'Hope others do this mindfully as well. This could be a much better, kinder world this time next year.
I don't believe I could choose a bird song. They are both so beautiful. I am also going to pick nettles for a dinner of beans and greens. I have also found it to be fun to try to be resourceful in new ways. I'm glad to see you are well! Beautiful video as always. ❤
These videos make me earn for Wales once more. I moved to Canada since my husband is Canadian, but the more I think about it, the more I long for the countryside again and a cottage with a garden and a view of nature. Perhaps in the future this can be something achievable. This video's always help me remind myself what Is important to me.
Totally unplanned, but I'm watching this while making your Aquafaba Soda Bread. I started making it and logged into RUclips for company, and this video was the first thing in my feed, As always, an absolute pleasure :o)
Your videos are always so soothing! Especially now. I finally got laid off (was expected) but I've had more time at home which is something that I cherish. I've been baking, cooking, spending time with my husband, reading, playing video games... it's been relaxing.
Hello lovely people from all around the world!
Let me know which bird song you would like as a longer video...
1. The dawn chorus with a real time sunrise
Or
2. Birds eating with bird song background.
Stay well my friends 💕🌷🧚♀️
Thank you for the gorgeous Sounds and scenes... in lockdown in South Africa and we are not allowed out for exercise or to walk the dogs...so I imagined I was walking out there in Ireland...
Dawn chorus please💕
Both!!! )))
I would say both too. But the dawn chorus is especially lovely
Dawn chorus and sunrise. Happy Sunday! 🙏
For once in my life I'm actually enjoying my life in lockdown no pressure with no routine just breathing and revaluating everything about my life after Corona viruse has passed I'm going to lead a much more simplistic minimalistic life than I do already 💕🙏🧚🕊️
Im glad that im not the only one who Gods made that impression on. I wish you the best as we try for a new life post-virus!
I agree, it makes you appreciate what God created and living a simple life. We get so caught up with life that we don’t take the time to take a deep breathe and revaluate life and enjoy it. I wish you the best God Bless you and stay safe!
How are you doing now, dear?🪴☀️🐈

God bless you and all in Italy
I am praying for the people of Italy 💜

WE CAN CHOOSE WHAT WILL GO BACK IN OUR WORLD....love that!💚
Planet Earth is sending us a message that we need to change gear and live a sustainable life like this before she starts getting rid of us🌿
Moonie The Pretty Giant indeed. Hopefully we will listen 🍀
I fully agree. Lets all keep trying to do better and better xxx
Absolutely true ...stay safe
So, so true! Planet Earth needed a break from our excesses.
Yes ! Is not what we take from the earth... is what we give back!
Beautiful message, thank you! One of the silver linings from this situation is I am hoping that society as a whole will FINALLY get the message: use what you have, buy only what you need, don’t waste, respect the earth, be kind, and appreciate the simple pleasures.

monica sinsterra such a nice routine x
Forgive my folly, because of course I do not know your life..❣
I do not see one single thing you could do to improve you videos.
But if I could be selfish, lol, it would be that they were longer. (Just a compliment , sincerely felt)
One serious wish would be you might publish a book...filled with all things you, recipes, philosophies, country history..many lush pictures !
Oohhhh that's a book for buying and for gifting !❣❣❣
I completely agree and I love how nicely you put this☺️
A wonderful idea! I would certainly buy one for myself and some for loved ones! Be safe Phyllis.
Phyllis Chaput ah that is so kind of you. I would love them to be longer too and a book. I better get working! 😁❤️🤗
@@FairylandCottage I would be the first to buy any book you publish, especially if it's on living a slower and more meaningful life (with tips, recipes, and nice illustrations) 😍

There is value to be found in exploring your own life when your interaction with others is no longer a part of your daily routine. For many of us there is harmony in this place. For those without, dare to explore it. While listening in silence, you may just hear the soft inner voice that has been there all along. What is it saying? 🙏

A G so so true and so valuable
"the soft inner voice that has been there all along" I love that 💖
I love my early mornings before the sun is full. Listening to the birdsong is my form of meditation before heading off to the hospital 😷
I assume you work in the hospital... If you are doctor or nurse or from any other medical profession, heaps to gratitude and salute to you.
God bless you.
Thank you for helping others in such a frightening time 💕

Yes, we also need a house next to the forest like Niamh's.
Not everyone can afford it...
Hey Niamh, I'm Samarpita....Hope u'r well so as your country.....Please stay safe....In these quarantine days one thought always come to my mind is your teachings....U always say to live simply and sustainably.... Don't live for your possessions but live for your mother nature...But we don't listen to u....& See today our mother nature is taking revenge....We r all home quarantined......But one thing is very positive is our nature is healing....Our country India is over crowded and so noisy....But now it's like we are living in any island where the only sound is of birds', wind's and sometimes our neighbours ( but not so much).... I hope everybody in this world is learning lessons that don't spoil your nature.....Plzzzz stay safe, stay inside.....loads of love from my side to yours.....💕💕💞💞💓💓💓💓
so peaceful ... thank you
Thank you for brightening up our world! Your videos have come to mean so much to us. Stay safe and take special care. Kind regards from Upstate New York, US.
Beautiful way to start your day. We've been practicing yoga followed a short meditation then joining a worldwide chanting with Deva Premal and Miten. It's really wonderful connecting with people around the world ( like you ) lifting spirits and sharing love. 😊🙇💞💖
such a lovely video! I've been thinking about this situation a lot. Living simply is not just good for us, in a way it's also our duty to society. We shouldn't take more than we need, whether that's food, healthcare or toilet paper. How much burden could be lifted from our healthcare systems if people chose to eat healthy, take a walk and meditate, instead of ordering takeout and watching netflix on the couch? I struggle with my weight and I've always felt bad about it... but this crisis just drives home how my actions regarding my own health could impact other people. I'm feeling really guilty. What a strange wakeup call it's been...
ta vh we are all forced to live more simply. You are a conscientious person indeed. No need to be hard on yourself. Everyone is doing the best with what they know. When we know better we do better.
It’s still completely dark where I am, so I’m starting my day with this tranquil video and a cup of tea :)
@Lauren :)))
Your videos are so calming, and comforting, in a way that feels like coming home. I hope this doesn’t come across as offensive, but I could listen to your voice without hearing the words and it would still be a peaceful experience. But then really listening in, you have a unique, quiet wisdom that helps me to re-center on what things are truly important in life. So thank you. I’m grateful for your presence in this world, and how you share it❤️
softersarahnade thank you Sara for your kind words. I feel your sincerity and appreciate your softness ❤️
Your videos are like meditation sessions for me. The footage of the birds was wonderful.
Hi Niamh, thank you for posting another wonderful video. I was thinking as I watched it, that I hope that slow living continues as a lifestyle for people when this is all over. I know certain aspects of life will be back to some kind of 'normal' at some point, but I hope that we remember what it is to stop, pause and learn to love and accept ourselves and the loved ones around us (which this time period has sort of forced us to do). To remember the contentment that comes from reading, drawing, walking, gardening, cleaning (or whatever you find yourself doing). I live in a nice area, but it is not nearly as nice as the one you live in. Stay safe & well. (Oh and I like the birdsong at the feeder! ;-) ) -Diane
Diane Chaniewski hi Diane, maybe people will remember this quiet time but most won’t!
Very glad to have found your channel, even if I can’t currently follow your more practical tips very easily. I’ve spent a lot of my time at home in the last few months due to being on a gap year between uni and postgrad, but now my parents and sister are home all day so I’ve spent a lot of time with either earplugs or headphones in, desperately trying to block out the sounds of other people. I’ve spent my time reading and researching and playing music, generally distracting myself from the world, and it’s difficult to do any of these simple tasks like cooking in a quiet or mindful way when I’m surrounded by people. For that reason I really appreciate being able to watch you go about these tasks, to hear all the sounds of your day that in my house are drowned out by my family.
Achilleus you sound like a very artistic and sensitive person. You keep protecting yourself. You are doing great
I already lived a fairly simple life, but this has helped me see how much deeper I can go. I was born a farm girl, so have always gardened, now I am focusing on expanding even more. I have always wanted to experiment with sourdough starter, so I am doing that. My plan for my "golden years", has always been to work from home and homestead. I have a small home business. I am still able to go to my little part time job that I love, twice a week, otherwise I realized recently that I am already living my plan. I am using this time as a tool to tweek things.I am full of gratitude. Thank you as always for your calm presence.
Love this. So peaceful. I am living in a construction condo building 6 all around me. I don’t hear the birds anymore that used to be around in the spring. It’s very noisy. I can’t go out and I miss it. I hope this will soon pass and we can continue to more normal life. I appreciate all the front line workers and I send out silent prayers that we will win this year!
One good thing about being shut in is the return to the old ways; time to bake and clean and time for a cup of coffee or tea. I have caught up on my sewing and am working on a linen rag rug. This makes your videos all the more needed. Thanks so much
Thank you Niamh, a beautiful morning indeed! I'm in western Canada and it is still winter here. We live in the country and feel so fortunate to be together with our adult children. My morning routine is to read (currently Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline Myss), write in my journal, and then meditate. It is a lovely way to start the day. I am grateful for this message to slow down, be creative and feel gratitude.
Katherine Crerar beautiful morning routine. Love Myss work. She is great
Birds eating!! Love, love birds! Thank you!
Thank you for the calming video. Early morning in my part of the U.S.(West Virginia). Scary times. I'm praying for us all. Don't know how or when this will end.
Brenda Kelley thanks for watching Brenda! Loads of love sent your way. X
Don´t worry too much. It will end, I think it won´t take more than a couple of weeks. It´s a severe flu, that much is true, but mankind has seen things far worse, just think of the plague or the Spanish flu or illnesses that were incurable in the past. However what we will most certainly see after covid is a crash of world economy which could be much more dangerous that the current disease. Take care, love from Germany
Thank you. I find your videos so relaxing and calming. 💕 xxx
Thank you for easing my anxiety and giving me a moments peace. 💋
Greetings from America. For the past two weeks my daughter and I have been staying inside and only going out for food and household needs. I really enjoy watching your beautiful video's...they are a calm oasis during these scary times. Take care and stay safe.
pretty bullet glad to hear you are getting some quality time with your daughter.
what a lovely outtro with the birds, thank you xx
Thank you for this wonderful, calm video... it's beautifully peaceful and reminded me of my childhood
I've been feeling so very stressed and your video has really helped to ground me, thank you!
Hello Niamh! Wilma here from Manila Philippines. Sending you lots of love, really appreciate and love all your videos, please never get tired of doing it, I'm your number 1 fan. This is exactly what the world and everybody needs now. Wishing and praying for our Mother Earths healing. Mabuhay ka (Live Great)! ❤
I live in New Zealand and people are similar enjoying outdoor activities being resourceful,mindful to ourselves to others around us and being responsible for our planet. Love your beautiful Irish voice🇳🇿❤️
More ramblings in the countryside please. Love the spring fauna in Ireland. A quality world indeed. Thank you for your positive words. I think when this time passes we will all be in a better place. A better quality place. A more creative, self reliant, peaceful state.🙏
I wish that I once again lived in the forest but I have good memories of the peace and quiet. Thank you for your videos🤗
Desert Diva I just released a comprehensive video on slow living and dopamine addiction this morning if that sounds interesting to you.
Thank you Niamh for this beautiful video
Hi Niamh. This time at home is very precious for me!
I love spending time with my family and relax as much as I can. Thank you for this special content. 💖
Very soothing video...
Swapna Sreedhar nice to hear...
I love how peaceful your life and videos are! I am enjoying my morning by watching how you spend your morning! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Niamh, I look forward to your videos every Sunday morning. I find them rejuvenating, and inspirational. Also, thank you for being a nurse and taking care of others. I know that what healthcare workers do today is with great risk. Take care and thank you.
Love this one too.. I requested a video on quarantine on instagram and u replied that a morning routine was coming this sunday.. I didn't expect this to be so calming .. 💛
Good morning Fairyland! Calm and peaceful. How pleasant in days such as these. We are on a stay home order but are still able to go on walks. So daily we walk our three dogs and I am able to enjoy this beautiful spring weather and flowers blooming. It is soothing to the soul.
Hi Niamh, inspirational video as always! To be honest with you I don't really want things to go back to normal, if by normal we mean the rat race people around the world have been used to all their lives. This quarantine might not be the best thing in the world, but hopefully is teaching many people to appreciate more what they have and a simpler, slower life. So, when this will be over, I hope we'll all find the courage to change our habits for good, as the Earth is trying to heal now and we need to keep helping her doing that for a long time. Let's all give up useless consumerism, cars, and all those things that make our life and other creatures' life difficult and stressful. Let's enjoy what Mother Nature offers us for free every day. A new life, a new world is possibile, it's up to us all. Lots of love ❤
So glad I found you. I will never have my dream home in the country but I can live it through you. I a striving for a more simple and materialistically less life.
I put this video on for my kids while I gave the baby a nap this morning. They huffed at first, but by the time I came back in the room, they were proclaiming all the great things they learned from you :)
Thank you for the relaxing and well-produced content
Beautiful way to start my Sunday morning! Your videos are so beautiful and peaceful. Hello from Toronto, Canada.
Beautiful video as always!! We are in New Zealand, and my family and I are very fortunate to live in the countryside, so we've been going out for walks every single day. Usually we are fairweather everything-ers! Hehe... But right now we get out for at least an hour, rain, hail or shine. I have a nearly 5 year old and nearly 7 year old, and they are thriving with the daily explorations. For us this has been a time of absolute blessing and an opportunity to spend real quality time as a family. Stay well!! xx
I love your videos! You are so inspiring. I yarn for a simple life, surrounded by nature. So your videos are like a breath of fresh air to me.
What kind of jam is that? Elderberry? If yes, could you share the recipe with me please? Thank you. Have a wonderful Sunday! Greetings from Romania.
Sabou Denisa o that is some blueberries!
I’m not a jam maker. Our neighbour gives us all our jam! I should have learnt from my grandmother!
So glad you meditate. I recommend breath work as a really powerful tool too. 🦋💙🙏🏻
What sort of breathwork would you recommend? I know about the Wim Hof Method for example...
Who the Hell is Lexi? Hi there, check out Audra Bear on Instagram and RUclips. Her and many others practice Tummo Breathing. Much love
I live in a small town....so no rivers or woods to walk or pick any herbs along the way....but i do love my life...peaceful just like yours....i take my time doing the housework as i please n i love doing my crochet work...i love my country Malaysia
There is something so hopeful in finding that not every life is drastically changed by this pandemic. That's why living simply should be more of a goal for everyone: it's sustainable even during the hardest of times.
Wilma Vuokko that’s very true what you said. My life hasn’t changed too much which has made the transition easier for sure.
It's always great to hear from you. Thanks!
Such a comforting video. Thanks so much.
I am finding this forced slow down is helping me make changes. With extra time and without the temptations that are normally available I am finding success. Silver linings.
Dawn chorus would be lovely Niamh. Today, I will hand wash our bedding as the marina laundromat is closed due to Covid19. Luckily it is sunny and breezy so I can hang on some lines around the boat.
Opening up the hatches, letting the fresh air flow through the boat.
Ending the day with a glass of wine on the foredeck and watching the sunset if the rains don't come.
Quiet. Peaceful.
Take care and stay well, Niamh. My best to you and yours.
What a wonderful way to start my day..... in these stressful, and dangerous times, YOU are what most of us need....
Hi Niamh, thank you for another lovely vlog. So heartening to see and hear the outdoor world when we Can't always access it so easily at the moment. Stay safe and well.
Fairyland cottage Thank you very much for this video! Sending you love and warm regards all the way from India to Ireland!
Although presently we cannot go out of our homes, but I have this hope that I'll see a cleaner and more beautiful nature the day I will go out again! Mother Earth is healing 🌸
Love your videos Niamh. I’m from Donegal and I had great memories-of my father bringing us on walks to get the bogbine in a marshy area. We also used dock leaves to cure warts. My father also carved walking sticks and always brought us on nature walks naming all the different plants. We had a wonderful childhood all 13 of us
Wise.
So peacefull 💛🌸
Lucie Roman 🌈🌷💕
Thank you for your lovely videos. I am learning so much about simplifying my life and enjoying what I have and making my home my sanctuary.
Debbie Smith I just released a comprehensive video on slow living and dopamine addiction this morning if that sounds interesting to you.
Thanks for another lovely view into the land, the flora and fauna around you. The little birds at the feeder at the end gave me joy. Living life in a rhythmical way is important and that can sustain us when things around us get wobbly. That is what I have had to stick to so that I keep my inner center, that and also having a practice of meditation or mindfulness help to keep the keel straight as we sail through uncharted waters. All the best to you and yours-good health!
Thank you for the calmness and the tips and the all the greenness. And the gorgeous little birdies at the end
We retired 3 years ago and have a routine each day, so for us the lock down hasn't affected us too much, we love being home and making food from scratch etc, sitting in the garden, a walk around the block, playing a game of cards, dinner and early to bed. I find it strange so many people have trouble doing nothing but enjoying some alone time and not running around the stores or working.
I also started my morning with porridge. I added sliced apple and a little brown sugar too! I love your videos so much, they give me a calm place to go during all of this this. So I just wanted to say thank you xx
Good morning! I love how your videos are the first ones I get on a Sunday morning. It is spring here in Canada too. Where I am the snow is just leaving. I did a walk about yesterday, and was just thrilled to see the rhubarb coming up and some spring onions too. Also some bulbs were surfacing. I can’t wait to get out to the garden, this will be my first spring in this cottage. What kind of birds were those on the feeder? They are too sweet. What were they eating? Did you make their food? I can’t wait to get the feeders set up. I moved here in October and didn’t get a chance to do it. I want to plant a tea garden as well. Have a beautiful week. ☮️💕🌱
Mary Egerton the birds are blue tits and great tits. Common bird in Ireland! I buy bird balls in my local pet shop
What a beautiful environment around you. I love watching your videos and sharing it with you. I am vulnerable and need to stay home and I’m fine with my cat and all my hobbies but love enjoying the world through your eyes. Thank you.
I always like your routine videos they are so relaxing and peaceful
well, it is now July and the second wave in many places is happening. to me is so scary as altho I am thankful for a paycheck, where I work was considered essential workers. so, now we are having many more cases of the virus and it is stressful! so with that thought, thank you so much for your video! your voice and the video itself is so soothing! something that is badly needed right now! and I do believe that mother earth is taking this time to regroup! your videos are truly enchanting! xoxo
Your videos are so calming and pure, so beautiful. I love the way you describe your life, the sounds, your voice, the colors, everything! You are a bliss.
Thank you for another soothing video, Niamh! I have been thinking about you and your loved ones in Ireland, and how you are faring as a nurse in this difficult time. Sending you gratitude and prayers for excellent health and well being. You are so right...we now have the opportunity "to choose what we let back into our life". 'Hope others do this mindfully as well. This could be a much better, kinder world this time next year.
I don't believe I could choose a bird song. They are both so beautiful. I am also going to pick nettles for a dinner of beans and greens. I have also found it to be fun to try to be resourceful in new ways. I'm glad to see you are well! Beautiful video as always. ❤
This morning I made some nettle tea with a squeeze of half a lemon. Fabulous!
BRILLIANT💚💜💙🙏😊!
These videos make me earn for Wales once more. I moved to Canada since my husband is Canadian, but the more I think about it, the more I long for the countryside again and a cottage with a garden and a view of nature. Perhaps in the future this can be something achievable.
This video's always help me remind myself what Is important to me.
Teatime with Naomi ah Wales is beautiful. We visited Snowdon once and loved it!
@@FairylandCottage If you ever get a chance, the Brecon beacons is beautiful.
Great video thanks for sharing 👍Dawn chorus please
Tom O'Hawk okedokey! 👍
I adore your channel. Thank you for cultivating a place of peaceful retreat!
Totally unplanned, but I'm watching this while making your Aquafaba Soda Bread. I started making it and logged into RUclips for company, and this video was the first thing in my feed, As always, an absolute pleasure :o)
Marsha A. Branch hehehe I just made that bread yesterday! Hope you enjoyed
Nice video.
Your videos are always so soothing! Especially now.
I finally got laid off (was expected) but I've had more time at home which is something that I cherish.
I've been baking, cooking, spending time with my husband, reading, playing video games... it's been relaxing.
