I took my 76 year old mum on a bike ride to explore Sweden (Story 87)

- My mum and I explored Sweden by bike for 8 days. My mum did a lot of bicycle touring in the 70s, and I'm just getting into it myself, so a small adventure was had. We brought our French press, sleeping bags, a cookset we never used, one good bike and one really bad bike. We saw trees and hills and rocks and a bit of rain but the thunder never came :)

wonderful learning all about your mum's adventures when she was young. We forget , when people get old, that they had lived interesting lives. Our society seems to have lost the culture of listening to the elders. Which is a pity, because they have so much to teach us. I've just spent a really pleasurable 20 minutes listening to you and your mum, and feel all the happier for having done that. So thank you.
@lifelearner47…wonderful comment 👍💖
❤ I totally agree
The last photo in this video is so warm and tender when Elisabeth looks at you.
Great time with your mother - building memories you both will cherish.
Exactly!
Like mother like daughter. Thanks Mom for giving the world an inspiring person and blazing a trail for her to follow ...Love love love the spirit of the Mother and daughter!!!
Dear Rosie and mum, thank you for sharing your beautiful journey.
I just😊 love your Mom. You are blessed to have her. My Mom was never healthy enough to do that. ❤😊
76 years old...respect! Power girls ❤
💞 such a lovely storytelling video about two women, mother & daughter, different experiences with similar willpower & spirit💞 on a trip together to make memories
You really captured your mothers spirit, it was beautiful. Thank you
Looks like you were enjoying your time with your mom. How nice!
My goodness your mom is incredible for 76-year-old to do everything that she does
Thank you for sharing with us the beauty .. your words .. your dear mother. I see where your formidable nature comes from. I cried while I watched her dance. Thank you both.
Me too, cried. I wonder what it was about that part? My mum used to dance in the living room...
Someday you will be so thankful that you have a video diary of memories like this with your Mum to look back on. Precious!
Hey Rosie, dat was a lot my language I heard !! I moved from Holland to California over 40 years ago. Wat leuk dat je met je moeder op pad kan en al die fietstochten samen kon doen. My Canadian husband came to pick me up from Amsterdam to LA where he lived.
We retired to Monterey eventually where he passed some 20 years ago. I am 88 now and housebound. I have subscribed to your channel for years and enjoy it very much. I admire your can do attitude and your many talents. Thank you for posting ! Love from Monterey ❤❤
ik lees nog eens goed wat u schrijft. maar dat is ook heel wat.
i wish you all the best.
Oh dat vond ik ook zo leuk, iemand even Hollands te horen praten. Ik woon al eeeeeeuwen in Los Angeles, ben tachtig en niet al te goed ter been. U heeft ook veel meegemaakt, en wat jammer Uw man zo vroeg verloren te hebben. Big hug!
@@reentjekay7597 thank you , love from Monterey 🙏💜
I like every one of your videos. I love your authenticity. I love how real you are with your feelings with no exaggeration or modesty - enabling them to pass over you with no resistance but rather with acceptance. video editing of the outdoors is unbelievable. And I especially love this video. A dedication to a wonderful mum from the daughter for all she is- adventurous, courageous and determined- providing all the strength you need to stand strong all alone in the wilderness. Hugs and thank you.
So beautifully put.
I’m so happy that you and your mama were able to spend this precious time together❤❤❤
You are so like your mum when she was younger. Lovely to hear and see her while having some quality time together.
I love you and your mother share this adventure together...❤ My mother and I were similar, but we were always flying together or working on airplanes together. That's what we bonded over.❤❤
Bardzo dziękuję za tę przygodę, za piękną naturę, muzykę. Dużo zdrowia dla mamy
Niech żyje sto lat i więcej ❤
What a joy to be loved by a daughter called Rosie. May God continue to bless and keep you both.
What a joy to have such an example from loving and encouraging mother.❤
Cherish your mama. We don’t realize how quickly our mom’s age, how time passes by so fast. Their stories and voices gone to history, their quirks that may have annoyed us are the things we miss the most. Write down her recipes and her stories. Enjoy your mom.
Respect for your mum...lovely to make those memories❤
I would never have guessed your Mom is 76. How wonderful that she can hike, cycle, help you build the garden. Indomitable spirit: you both have it. Sweden is beautiful. Thank you both for the effort that went into the trip & the video.
Your mum is just wonderful. And I admire her deeply. She was fortune to stay fit and healthy but also did something to get where she is today. And she raiced a wonderful woman. ❤
I applaud you both for going on this adventure. I love your choice of music in all your videos. I am living vicariously through you and find peace in your videos. Thank you!
Das war schon beeindruckend wie du deine Mutter zu diesem Trip inspirieren konntest. Am Ende saht ihr beide glücklich und befreit aus. Danke für diese Impressionen.
One word.... Well no three.. Beautiful, heartwarming and inspiring!! Thank you Rosie and Mum for sharing. ❤
Simple beautiful a video to treasure x
Your mum is a rock star for her age, I can see where you get your energy from 😊
What a memory you made with your mom...well done ❤ 🇨🇦
You are a very blessed woman to still have your mom with you. Take good care of each other. Thank you for sharing your adventure!
My dad grew up in a community in upstate New York populated with the descendants of Dutch immigrants. You and your mother look like family to me. My great-grandmother, who immigrated from Holland in the early 1900s, was something of a magic garden sprite like you. She would have loved this channel and your stories.
This felt like a love letter to your mother and made me tear up. I’m on holidays with my family right now and I appreciated the reminder to enjoy every minute. It was a great video!
❤️
You two are a force of nature! Hoping for many more adventures with team Rosie and Mum. 🌲🌲🌲
You are so determined, focused and have such stamina and drive- then we meet your lovely mum and see where you got it from x Love your videos Rosie Xx
Dear Rose thank you for your videos I like them a lot ❤❤❤
I love that Rosie whips up a perfect bag to carry essentials on her bicycle. Well done!😊
Good to see you better equipped this time around Rosie. Plenty of food for energy etc. You're Mum obviously used to packing for cycling trips 🚴♀️🚴♂️ Xx ☺
Wat een prachtige ode aan je moeder! ❤
Liebe Rosie, danke für das großartige video. Im Moment suchte ich all Deine Videos und kann kaum glauben, was Du alles alleine auf die Beine stellst. Du bist ein absolutes Multitalent!!!. Meinen größten Respekt an Deine Mama, sie ist eine ganz besonders sympathische Frau und für Ihr Alter voller Energie. Viele Grüße aus Köln.
Mum on an adventure, I love it. My sisters n I take my Mom all over. She loves to travel so we feed that! PS I love reminding her of her age too. 😂
Thank you for sharing Mom with us.
Rosie, what an intoxicating treasure: family, bicycle, path, forest, freedom... Addictive narrative and production. A big thank you from Portugal.
That was like a true testimony to your mother.... what an adventurous unapologetic woman.
It was nice to see you do things with your Mom. It is great to see that your Mom is strong & healthy enough to go biking and help you in different ways. I am sure you are alot like your parents.
Dearest Rosie, thank you for this sweet and beautiful video! Peace and blessings to you and your adventures mom! 💖
Wat een leuke en lieve video! Stoere moeder en stoere dochter, geniet van elkaar!
I am the same age as your mother, and you are so fortunate to have this special time with her. Elizabeth is so capable and full of energy, that probably comes from the fact she is keeping busy. I love that you said you had a great trip and your mom said it was awful.
😂😂😂!
Wonderful!!!!👍😎🇨🇦💙🙏⚘✌💛🚲🚲🌻🌿🌲🌹 I'm still hiking at 70 and take great inspiration from your mom.❤
Is there anything you can’t create Rosie? I mean creating your bike bags without a pattern, and renovating your home! You so encourage me!😮
Your Mom is awesome. I am 79 and wish I was in as great shape as she is. I lost my Mom in 2014 and was thankful she didn’t have to go through Covid issues. She chose when she was ready to leave. I am so grateful that I had her as long as I did. She was amazing. As I age I look at all the things she did for me and all the sacrifices she and my Dad made for me. Parents are so amazing. Enjoy every day you have with her and be so grateful for her because she is the reason you turned out the way you did! You are awesome.
I love seeing you and your Mom together. My mom turns 75 this year and she’s still very active. She’s not only my mom but also feels like a friend, a person I really like to be with. But for the first time I am really seeing she’s getting older and more frail. Its such a long time where your parents are your pillars and then slowly that role is shifting a bit. Its such a weird and confronting thing. I hope I can still enjoy loads of active years with my mom like you have with yours and get to do a lot of fun stuff together. So I am glad to see someone taking the time to travel/ do activities with their parents. We all should do that more.
Dear Rosie, ❤ seeing you and your mother together was so lovely. I'm following you from Iran. Thanks for sharing your unique and incredible experience with us. Take care 😘
We do take on some of our parents traits. Fortunately, for us, you brought to life your mother’s sense for adventure and indomitable spirit. The pair of you are exceptional women. ❤
You are so blessed to have a mom healthy enough to adventure with you . She’s got the spirit of her youth still alive and well within her ❤️ I admire how you include her but give her space to do as she wishes , the respect you have for each other is the way love between a parent and an adult child should be ❤️❤️well done ladies 😊 you’re mom is absolutely beautiful
Loved listening to your mom tell her story in Dutch. It brings me back to when I was young. Next year she will bring her own bike from home and you are going to go on a true adventure.
Family resemblance without a doubt. 21:08 Also making that bike bag takes deep skills and creativity.
I watched all the videos up till this one without leaving a comment (cause I'm usually a silent admirer), but this video really touched me. It's moving to see your daughter-mom connection and the thread between her character and yours. This is such a wonderful video to make and a beautiful trip together 🙏
Making wonderful memories with your mom, you’re blessed to be able to do that. You are so talented, you have a very pretty mom and 76 I would not have thought she was that age 😊
These vlogs are so beautifully put together with the different camera styles blending seamlessly, and the music perfectly complementing the different segments. The vlogs were always well made, but they're now on a different level.
Your mum is a fantastic character!
Rosie, thank you for sharing this remarkable story, of you and your mum sharing these tender and enriching moments together. My husband and I cherish your videos, and appreciate the time and compassion you spend editing, and sharing your stories with us. Your calming, as well as productive lifestyle is truly amazing, and we truly look forward to each and every video you share. We sometimes even watch them twice. :) Jill and Gary
What a great trip. Your mom is in great shape for her age. Unfortunate that she didn’t have her own bike. I loved the sound of gravel under the bike tires. Your choice of music is so relaxing that I hardly noticed it.
Initially, I was sad that this new video would not be about what you’re up to with your home building/summer gardening. But, sadness was short lived as I am a big fan of mothers & daughters (being one & having some 😉). I think we already knew what a treasure your mum is from seeing her in other videos. I always love your comments filled with honesty & subtle humor & am in awe of your videography skills (& the time that takes to get such excellent results). Many of us must be envying what a wonderful adventure to have & keep alive in your heart …spent with the person who gave you life. Thank you for sharing this special time with all of us. I am a devoted subscriber from Vermont, USA 🇺🇸
I agree with everything that you’ve said. It’s very nicely expressed. From a Rosie fan in the Toronto area🇨🇦
Elisabeth you are truly impressive, always enjoy watching you when you visit and help your daughter. Have lots of fun together!
how lovely - this video is beautiful. Your mum is a stunning and strong, red head, just like you. Gorgeous ladies. xxxx
Love this . I always say there's two people not to trust politicians and the weatherman 😂! Beautiful country. I loooved the little gnome cups lol. That smile in the sunshine at the end of the video definitely lifted my heart. Have a most Soulfully Satisfying Sunday Sweet ladies🤗
Thank you for sharing your Mum, Rosie. We can see that you're definitely your mother's daughter, indomitable and adventurous and fearless. And if I may say, beautiful too. I hope she gets to ride to the North Cape one more time. I'm 79 and gave up cycling quite a few years ago. Brava! Blessings to you both. 💞🤗
Love seeing you and your mother enjoying new sights in Sweden. Gorgeous videography. You certainly have your mother’s adventurous spirit and natural beauty, Rosie!
It seems so isolated, no cars. What a privilege to have your mother help you and join in the bike trip.
Your Mom is my age!! Most people dont believe all the activities I was part of when I was younger, as theyve only known me in the last decade. I've done nearly everything there is to do, professionally, artistically, creatively, sports-wise, competitively, etc. I still miss a lot of it, but my body has taken quite a beating from having 'fun' thru the years. Ahh, memories!! 🥰🥰
What a great video. Such a lovely tone and pace.
Please wear a helmet Rosie, we need you safe to keep creating awesome content for us 🥹🙏🏻
Your mum looks like 50 years old!!!
Thank you for sharing your adventure! It's so inspiring!
Your mum is so beautiful and strong ❤😊
Wat a touching segment. You must have felt bad about the electric bike debacle, but your Mom is a gem, you are very fortunate! Love you show!
I can see now where all the impulse and determination I (we) admire in you comes from. Best regards to yr mom, yr dad, and their generation; the people that never did anything because of views but for the sheer pleasure of doing it (cue Beautiful People by Melanie).
Just loved seeing your mom's zest! Beauticul. Very special. Thank you so much for sharing your mom adventure. Feel so good I got to enjoy it with you. 78 in Wisconsin
Que maravilha Rosie. Está na natureza com sua mamãe. Seria lindo se todos os filhos fizessem isso com seus pais.❤❤
Your mom and you are amazing! Wild and free. ❤
Your mum is so cool! Loved that episode. That's what I want to do when I retire. Just in a car. And in the States. Kinda started already, circling the Lake Superior this summer. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You're a guest in my home in the evenings. I'm totally binging on your videos, catching up now to almost today, almost now.
Wat een mooie video Rosie! Een mooie herinnering maken met ouders is zo belangrijk.
En geweldig om Nederlands te horen. Fijne zomer nog!
Every video no matter where you are is just so engaging. Thank you 😊
Wat een mooie tocht een dan in zon omgeving met goed gezelschap ,je moet wel genoten hebben !
Another beautiful memory for both of you ♥
Love the elves definitely live here❤ Beautiful adventure with your mom. 🩷🩷🩷
Oh, the hard boiled eggs! 🙌 My parents also brought them to every hiking trip, train or car ride. 😂
Rosie, this story is wonderful. I usually don’t comment on a video, and only do when I am moved by it. I kept asking myself why I follow your channel… I’m not so much into DIY stuff, but now it’s clear to me that I watch your videos because of your gift for storytelling. Your cinematography and your voice is a gift I love tuning in to. Much love from Nevada, USA! ❤
Great video Rosie. Your Mom is amazing. You inherited her stamina and sense of adventure. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing this special bike trip with your Mom. 🥰
Wow! What an inspiration 👏👏👏. I can’t imagine a spirit so strong that you would take an adventure like that with your Mom! This is beautiful ❤. Not only was the trip a feat in itself, but you also had to film it and get the drone footage. Truly amazing! Congratulations 🎉. Thanks for sharing 😊
Sweden is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. Spending time with family is always wonderful.
Nice to see someone enjoying the same things I loved when I was young. My knee won't let me do this anymore. Thank you Rosie and Elizabeth for sharing your adventure.
Rosie, I love to see you and your mom’s relationship, and your affection for each other. How wonderful she is still a part of your life and sharing an adventure with you! Thank you for a lovely video. ❤️💐
Now we see where you got your drive, your Mom set a good example for you to reach for the stars. My Mom died when I was 14, you have no idea how lucky you are. I am blessed with two wonderful daughters though so I understand it from the other side.
Wow. Your mum Elisabeth is as amazing as you Rosie. Thanks for the trip and the beautiful music.
Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure.
Stunning scenery!
🌲❤️🌻🌳
Wat geweldig dat je dit met je moeder kan doen. Wat een sterke energieke vrouw❤en al die avonturen op de fiets! Petje af👍👏je lijkt op haar😊
Helemaal mee eens 😊
Are you so looky to have your mother with you God bless her it was just to see you having a lovely time thanks for all the lovely video

Very nice and cute you seem to be

I don't have enough video of my mother younger, vibrant and able to tell stories. Cherish this. You are so very lucky to have the talent and skills to make these films. Thank you for sharing your mom with us.
Hello Elisabeth. It’s such a pleasure to meet you and hear you speak. Your daughter has given such joy with her videos and now this special, special video. I’m a little melancholy. Just a little although my daughter and I are close the opportunity to do this seems far off so I am loving to watch you both.
Kathrine Hepburn, and Audrey Hepburn.. would no doubt have played your parts.
You represent the women of your country proudly! Such admiration for you both❤️
That's a SUPER MUM you are blessed with seldom do we have the privilege to have such a parent pity about the weather .
Rosie, thank you for another great post, your mum is right Sweden is indeed beautiful. I am 78 and my mum is no longer with use but you still have yours and it’s great seeing you are both making memories by spending quality time together. Thank you both for shearing. Tot ziens ❤
You are so resourceful making a bag for your bike! Good job Rosie! I’m impressed with your mom! Love videography riding bikes! Beautiful.
Beautiful storytelling with your mom, Rosie. You resemble her a lot. So wonderful see mom and daughter on an adventure together, sharing a similar passion.
This was a lovely portrait of your mother and your trip together❤
Cried 3 times watching this, 😢. 2 Beautiful souls.
An overlap might help keep the bike bags from filling with water. Or have the gather longer so it can fold over and protect the opening. Your talent is amazing.
