    Someone commented on your last video that you were like the American version of a flower child in the 70s. I so agree! Love watching you playing with the goats with your flower crown on, just like it’s an ordinary day. You have no idea how beautiful you are. Love the life you two have created, love your channel! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

      I’m thinking that Deivids is a lucky man and chose well.

    I was so jealous of those beautiful wild meadow flowers. And what fabulous midsummer crowns they made. It’s such a special way to be able to celebrate this time of year. I loved the whole vibe of this lovely video. Everyone got to share in the midsummer magic. Old traditions should always be honoured. Bad luck that the sun did not cooperate but I loved the mist over the water.

      Looks like yall had fun! More important for you to be in the moment with your friends & each other you can't get the time back, only the memories.

    Despina in that white lacy dress and with a bunch of wildflowers gave me bridal vibes☺️ Beautiful video❤️

    I must be in my dotage because I really enjoy your traditions, costumes, handmade wreaths, dances, singing (although, of course, I didn't understand a word), but the people's enjoyment was infectious and pleasant. Here in the US, a lot of traditions that folks brought over from the "old world" have generally been forgotten by younger generations. Now, the Polish folk sure remember theirs as do the Spanish-----my ancestors came over from Switzerland and I couldn't yodel if my life depended up on nor do I play the accordion (much to my father's dismay). Thank you for bringing us along.

    You remind me of a flower child plucked right out of the 70's. Love it!

    Despina made a wonderful job of showing off the white dress, and all the other changes she wore. Being young and healthy with all the outdoor work she does really showed in the images.

    You are a very beautiful young lady.
    Your husband is good looking, gentle and kind. I miss seeing the three geese roaming around. I love you both. God bless you. 🌹🌹

    • @minime7375
      @minime7375 Год назад

      The geese made a cameo in the video😂 I think the female is nesting and the two boys are impossible to deal with, they make such terrible noise in the videos, they’re probably more agressive defending the nest. Pewpews are hilarious😂☺️

    How beautiful is this feast, what is the meaning of the feast and of burning the crowns? Sorry I'm Brazilian, I don't speak English so I didn't understand Despina's speech. I use the translator to communicate. I watch the channel from when they started renovating the house 🥰💙💞. I love it lol 🤭 Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷❤🎉😊

    • @birgitc.rudolph9123
      @birgitc.rudolph9123 Год назад +2

      They burned the old crowns from last year... I don't know exactly why ,but here in Greece, it's like an offer and "thank you" to mother earth

    • @aivele
      @aivele Год назад +1

      This holiday is the summer solstice when it's the longest day of the year. Latvia has four very different seasons, so the solstice is important.
      They celebrate the sun and fertility. The flower crown is a symbol of the sun. It helps to connect to your feminine/ masculine nature. Burning flower crowns of the previous year means getting rid of the old and the bad energy.
