We’re recovering from Hurricane Helene in the mountains of North Carolina. We were lucky and didn’t sustain much damage, but my heart is broken for my mountains and my people. I was just thinking yesterday, “I need a visit with Collette.” Thank you for this respite. I wish you were my neighbor and we could ramble in your woods together and sit in the garden with a cup of tea. Seeing you here this morning is almost as good. Thank you for being a bright spot in the world and on mother earth. Blessings to you! ❤
I have been following closely...probably too much. I have cried more than once...mostly because of the incredible spirit of the people there. You are all in my thoughts in all my waking (and some sleeping) hours.❤

What a beautiful transitional time for you. This is GOOD. I am 71 and about to go out on my own for the first time in MY LIFE! I have very little $$ and I’ve waited for years to find government housing to get OUT of an unhealthy living arrangement. I now received a voucher for housing… have 3 months to find a place, so I am searching now for my first Apt. I am scared and excited. I have watched you for many years and have vicariously held onto strength from your own story. I won’t have a woodland… but if I can even have two pots of something organic.. green… and growing, It will represent my own success. For the first time I will have the chance to become my authentic self… on my own with ALL I have been learning about life.. people, relationships as Many have all fallen away. It’s probably a good thing and hoping for new doors to open. Mostly…. I am realizing that the relationship I have with “ MYSELF” is what will support my path forward. Thx Collette for your life…. As it has helped mine. My own journey Continues 🙏🙏☮️☮️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm excited for you! I can hear the energy in what you write. Good for you. Makes me kind of feel life the pure joy a dog long in the shelter experiences when they find their forever home. And often its to older dogs who show the most joy. They find unadulterated joy and love in everyday activities without money. We can learn a lot from dogs....we are both animals after all. Enjoy your new life!
Dear Colette, I have exactly the same feelings about the world in general at the moment. I have been worrying and terrorising myself about politics in America, the state of the EU, the state of GB politics, war in Ukraine, war in the Middle East, hurricanes and natural disasters happening world wide and I have realised that actually, I cant do a flipping thing about it!! Worry is just making me sad, tired and ill! So, I am going to do my own thing and live my life for the things I love and can do something about, my environment, my lifestyle, my health, my happiness. I will always care about everything else, but I can't carry it around with me anymore as though I am the only one who can do anything to bring it all to a happy conclusion! That way lies insanity and an early grave, neither of which particularly appeal to me! I love watching your channel and am happily subscribed. Lots of love to you and the wee Patsy. Debs X
Exactly how I feel at 73! UI can't carry the stress and worry any more about the chaos. I now look after my health, nutrition, things that make me happy.🌹🌹😃😃
I so resonate with this! I feel exactly the same way and I think there is a lot more of us than one might think! And because of that we are unwittingly changing the world we create our own reality and this is how we do it. Thank you for sharing 😊

When I was a child a very eccentric woman lived a few houses down from me. She was an older woman. The kids in the neighborhood would call her names (witch) being the primary term. She wore tule skirts without any over dress or fabric skirt. Lots of blush and red lipstick. Large amounts of costume jewelry and crowns 👑 on her head of different sizes. Ruffled scarves....I thought she was fabulous!!!!! I made a point to befriend her. I genuinely was impressed with everything related to this woman. We would have random conversations, and she would always have a hard candy ready for me....She still remained a mystery. I never seen children, grandchildren or spouse. It was only her...I still remember her so fondly. Living automatically. Living her way unapologetically. I used her as inspiration in my own life. I admire you being able to live automatically ,purpose driving. ❤
How wonderful you were able to connect with such a magnificent beautiful woman who was not thinking about what other people might like, expect or require to be like the crowd. Unique and individual expressions are very important for our soul's enrichment and the clarity of honoring our existence with creative passion and delight ❤🦄🕊🦋🪷🌈✨️🎊🎉🎀🥰🤩😍🥳🙈🙉🙊💚💙💜💫✌️👍🫶🙏🤲🙌 💫❣️💯💥👋
I love this inspirational comment. Remember dressing up as kids? No? How about our kids or grandkids? They were amazingly brave and shared their joy. One of my granddaughters would wear her princess crown, favorite T-shirt, and tulle skirt with her yellow rain boots. ❤ Yes, I need to find a crown, or at least a tiara or two. How fun to just be your true unique self.
Hear, hear ❤🕊🌻❤ Embracing you, your rants, your core....my word, there is so much I can relate to in your spirit 🌿 thank you ever so much for sharing and might I add...what a gorgeous home you are caretaker of 😍
I can't imagine not being a subscriber! I wouldn't want to miss a thing. I missed you while you were gone and am thankful for your presence here. You help to make social media a better place for me.
Self care is something that women need to re learn.. What you are saying makes complete sense and even getting help for the bits in the garden work area that are needed but out of scale for one person to do themselves.. I look forward to some of your walkabouts .. I love walkabouts!
I thought you looked lovely today, I love your hair style and colour it really suits you and those gorgeous earrings too. Right that’s enough of the flattery, I agree the world is a frightening place , I am so anxious for our beautiful planet, I love connecting with nature , I’m fortunate enough to live in the countryside in Cornwall I’m surrounded by trees , I’m to old at 76 to buy land and create a woodland and I have never had enough money to buy a piece of land when I was young enough , but I applaud you for doing that and maybe inspiring other’s who maybe in that position to do just that. I must try the meditation thing I feel I need to find a way to rid my head of this anxiety . Wandering round your woodland is the best way to start my day so thank you for sharing it all with us.its nice to see little Patsy living her best life with you too.❤️
Dear lord, we are on such crazy similar paths. I am an off grid homesteader, I am a weaver (two floor looms), I am embracing my lifestyle unabashedly, changing my self-care priorities, and am sick to death of the mental illness afflicting this species. Bring it on baby, you ain’t scaring me!!
The perfect time for more self care. The head start/repair to Mother Earth you gave your land has reached the point where she and the land at Bealtaine are now largely on self-sustaining autopilot. It has reached the point where the woodland gives you more energy than you give it (literally and spiritually). Let the woodland thank you by helping infusing you with energies for more personal pursuits - spiritual healing, writing, crafting, music, art, etc etc. Its a time of transition, a joyous milestone! Enjoy it!!!
Hi Colette , with you all the way . We are lead by complete idiots that want to destroy us and we must go back to a time when life was simple and enjoyable . Life is for living so let's get on with it .xxx
Finally! Wise words from my favorite woman on YT! I noticed your conspicuous absence and missed you much! You are looking good Colette! Peace and Blessings to you, Patsy and all!🌳🌻🧶🐕🏡😊
I agree Collette, I would find it very easy to rant in my videos. Everything just seems so dreadful at the moment, so I tend to hide away and just concentrate on the little things I can do to help nature and wildlife. With warm greetings from South Wales.
Your words inspire with the wisdom and grace of a natural leader and defender of what is sacred. Thank you so much Colette. You are right, politicians and corporations destroy life out of pure selfishness and greed. We must nurture nature and teach others to respect it in every small action of our day, especially the young ones. Blessings and continued abundance to you, Green Goddess of the woodlands!
You surely have performed a miracle Colette. Your precious land is so alive, The birds are singing their hearts out. The wind seems to sing its way through every leaf On every tree. You have nurtured the land to offer up A bountiful harvest for the wild life. The joy you must feel to walk down your Driveway and know that it’s all down to you. Don’t let the madness of those apparently In charge of us enter your world, After all Mother Nature will always win In the end, Best wishes from England.
When you said 20 years ago in 2004; I was just stopped in my tracks, has it been that long, it went so fast! I hope the next 20 doesn't go by that fast. I need to practice "slow living," I want to savor each day, and do things that bring me joy. 🌺
Oh colette, I feel your frustration with the terrible things going on in this world. Please don't let it rob you of your joy and peace. I look forward to what you will be sharing with us in your future videos. I am sure they will be very relatable. You are such a joy to share a few quiet moments with. Each time brings me happiness and warmth. You are a treasure to many. Wish you didn't live so far. What a lovely friend you would be. Take care, stay well and thank you! 💖
Collette, I'm with you on all you said. My garden, hobbies, family, and pets are what give me the greatest pleasure, so that's what I now focus on. Getting up in the morning and wandering around the garden checking on my plants and talking to the hens brings me great pleasure. Take care from New Zealand.
Same here Maree .I do exactly that , apart from the hens , but my cats love the morning garden walks . I am in the Nelson region , where are you , Nth or Sth Islander ?
Glad to see you again Colette! You look great and full of energy.. Go ahead.. experience the new, enjoy your creativity, do it for yourself and for your audience too😀 Blessings to you and Patsy😍🌸✨️
Really love watching your videos and looking forward to see what you have in store for us ! Love seeing your travels and your creative ideas ! Thank you 🙂🙏🏻🌻
My mother passed away a little over a year ago and I've been on a similar journey of focusing on slowing down and reimagining my life. Creativity has always been important to me but got lost in all the responsibilities of my life over the years. I have been getting some much needed resting and reflecting in and it feels so good. I have been juicing and eating less. Sorting through life in so many ways and tuning out the noise of the world is vital. ❤❤
And spread out your own wings and soar with your heart felt energies of love for all of the many blessings that exist right now in your own unique life...soar along with creativeness and your continued love of life unfolding in the mystery moment by moment with wonderment and joy. You are absolutely able to live freely and unencumbered by craziness and the weight of the world keeping you from focusing on your journey with healing and love....soar with your own personal journey in which you are flying highly and in this process with flow and creativity through flexibility and peacefulness of heart and soul. You're precious, holy, sacred and beautiful in your own unique ways that are authentic and true representations of your essence and your love 😍 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings...I just wanted you to know that you are absolutely incredible and very important for our species to evolve and grow with exuberance and dedication to live harmoniously and joyously as individuals who are honoring their own existence with love 😍 ❤🎉🕊🦋🐝🪷🌻🌺🌹🌱🍀🌿🦄
I keep your map on my bedroom wall😅❤ and live in gratitude 🙌 Walking has helped me. 4-5 miles a day now where only a few short years ago I walked with a CANE! ❤you are amazing 🤩 and I appreciate all your videos!!
Dear Colette, I come from a family who encouraged us to take an interest in world affairs. However now that I am 73 I also share your feelings about the political, economic and ecological chaos! I feel totally despondant towards everything negative in the news today. I have always believed in looking after my own corner of the world which I share with many feathered and furry friends... in return we have a small oasis of woodland and garden which feeds our bodies and souls. Channels like yours which uplift us are what I choose to watch... you are an example of the positive role social media can play, but there is so much to steer clear of as well. I only hope our children and grandchildren will have the support and education to make good decisions for themselves and their futures. Much love to you and all the lovely people who follow you. ❤️
Ah Colette, I'm so happy to see you again, rejuvenated by your retreat. How I long for connection to people who share my passions for Mother Earth, for celebrating the festivals peacefully around a fire. It seems to me, that even sacred celebrations are becoming commercialised and trendy, not in a good way. Maybe I'm getting old and cynical... I'm so thankful for your down to earth honesty and natural wisdom.
I like your style. I decided, during Covid, to let my hair go grey. I’ve always wanted to be one of those old ladies who does what they like, dresses how they like, and says what they like. Like one of your earlier comments, it would be nice to sit down with a cup of tea and chat! Your videos are like that for me!
Dear Collette, I have been with you from the very beginning, Especially learning you born in Co Tyrone As my Grandmother was from Stewarsrown Co Tyrone I was reared in West Belfast until my family Immigrated to Toronto in 1982 Now I am a senior and a widow And my greatest delight is following your wonderful vlog Plus all the wisdoms you educate us with I miss *Jack' such a beautiful calming presence in your Life Now of course you wisly for yourself chose Wee Patsy, my reasoning tells me You could never replace your wondefful *Jack So you chose a little female doggie companion How precious this walk in life for both yourself You make my Heart ❤sing with joy Mary Vancouver BC,🇨🇦 And Patsy.
Thank you, Mary for being so observant because that is why I chose Patsy! I could never replace Jack but was ready, after two years of mourning him, to move on.
We have a mad woman pol in the US state of Georgia. I am also getting back to my Celtic roots and getting funky, fun, and creative in my older years. It’s time!
What is it about these times where so many malign dark lunatics have risen from their hiding places into places of power, what is it in us who are actually electing such low beings? I feel like we are in Lord or the Rings or viking sagas and some dark force has crept over the land and the weak of mind/character are succumbing to it and becoming its army. In such times, we need to find the light, save the light, nurture the light until more good returns to the land. Like the Irish monasteries found, saved, nurtured the light of learning during the dark ages! Good luck to you, to us all!
I think we are experiencing the Age of Aquarius shift, the Picean Age has ended and the old guard is having a rough time transitioning..those who are rigid and dogmatic can't go with the Humanitarian flow in this Golden Aquarius Age.. I'm hopeful compassion, empathy and a collective awakening that is happening will shed light in dark places..thank you Collette for all the inspiration and beauty you bring to us all its a beautiful journey to be a part of with your collective...your channel has brought me much enjoyment much gratitude ❤ To my fellow Americans in NC and Florida..we send love in abundance prayers unfailing you are not forgotten and God is with you❤
I just love all of your videos. Been following you for about 5 years?? And I always enjoy seeing what you are making or doing in the cottage as well on the land just don't leave us!! Selfishly, I need your calm voice. Practical views. Acknowleging what I actually feel over here in the U.S. .Sending Peace, Love, and Light to you! Blessed Be!
Thank you for the reminder to do self-care - it helps get us through all the craziness of the world - and benefits us body, mind, spirit and soul. As my garden season draws to a close here in Indiana USA, I'm anticipating spending more time in my art studio and taking myself on artist dates. Blessed Be!
The Bealtaine Cottage project has been an inspiration for me for many years now. I don’t have the space to create a forest with thousands of trees, but I’m doing my best. But not everyone is able to do what you are doing, even with the best intentions. Usually it’s because they are afraid. Afraid to deviate from the norm, afraid to move into unknown and therefore dangerous territory. When all that is needed is seriously to look and listen. When I moved in, and my house was totally new, my neighbour took one look at the bare soil in the front yard and authoritatively said to me, you still have a lot of work to do. Looking at his front yard, the hint was clear: put tiles and concrete, maybe a couple of pots of geraniums. Needless to say, I had my own ideas… 😊
Flamboyant is such a wonderful word to describe how we love to be. We are all individual's and we embrace our flamboyant nature. Boo to the bolloktitions we say.😂❤️🏴🇬🇧
Im on the same path Colette! Living on a farm with my animals in Maine. Love your channel and been watching for years. Youve been my respite and cup of tea in this crazy world❤❤❤😊
So looking forward to where you're going with this Colette and learning more about your other passions. You have so much creativity. Thank you for taking us on the journey with you.
I’m on the same wavelength. I need to pullback to what matters to me; family, pottery, gardening and needle arts. I’m at peace in those arenas and I just refuse to allow myself to be terrorized anymore.
Good morning Colette, it is so nice to see you again. Welcome back from your retreat. Your woodlands are as beautiful as ever. Take care in this crazy world. Focus on what brings you joy and peace and share that with others. Many blessings to you and Patsy. ❤
Love your video today. I learned a new term that is delightful..."bollocktician"!! Subscribed right then. I am so blessed to live in Oregon in the Pacific NW. Our lovely community of Astoria is on the mighty Columbia River and very near the where it joins the Pacific Ocean. Wonderful wooded areas and seaside at our door. Nature is the best for healing heart, mind and spirit. I wish you joy in this season. You brought inspiration and a smile to mevtoday. 🙏🙏
Thank you, Colette, for sharing your woods and your life! I am glad you are taking care of yourself. Love and blessings to you, your family, and the community you have created for those of us who need the healing and joy you and your channel provide for Mother Earth as well as all of us.❤
Wonderful Colette ! With you 100%. The world has gone mad. Let's make the most of our lives when and wherever we can. Focus on what we can control. Love you and the beautiful corner that you've created in Ireland. Wish I could buy the house next door and do the same. Blessings to you. ❤
I love your garden and I always have. I've rarely watched these past six years as my ex stalked me. This is a lovely video! Very uplifting, peaceful, life affirming. Like everything, my home, my garden--all is destroyed--I'm not even sure the lovely earth I had will be fertile . . .so not all your old subscribers who don't watch have abandoned you or the dream. You give me hope.
We need sincere down to earth people and even though I don't have much free time I enjoyed your RELAXING garden and I don't blame you for getting frustraded with everything I am in SC and we are getting back to normal whatever that means anymore ❤❤❤❤ we all need to go inside of ourselves and do the necesary shadow work, good luck with everything! ❤❤
Gardening is coming to a close in this location. That provides me with the time necessary to change and improve things for next season. Focusing on things I am able to control helps keep my mind from outside "clutter",noise and confusion. " You have a lovely week/weekend, Collette.
You place is beatiful. Iam inspired! Glad you are taking good care of yourself. As beautiful as your place is... you are the reason God created this. For you😊❤😅
Mission accomplished Colette you have brought so much Peace & Beauty to the World! This globalist agenda will eventually fall because they are too consumed by greed & power. They are losing the battle slowly but surely! Much Love & Many Blessings to You & Precious Patsy Always❤🐦🐝🌹👌
Lovely video loved the walk self care is very important and lovely to see Patsy enjoying her walk you live in such a beautiful place and it is all your doing I love to see your videos and walk with you and Patsy
I have been following you since around 2020 and I too started an important fruitful journey exactly 20 years ago. I must say it has been big and human and spiritual too. As in the paradise you've created. Both your project and mine are about life. I thank you for this video because I too have to open up a little more and visualize those aspects of myself I have left a little behind and work on them.Becsuse, as yourself, it's taken full time devotion to make things work. I too am a single woman and have done the masculine part too in this journey. I have artistic passions as you have and I too need to get out there and lose some weight and be in better shape to be able to enjoy the outcome of my dedication of two whole decades of love and struggles. Finally, just to say that you are not alone when it comes to having to deal with the craziness and evilness of our governors, politicians and others in charge. I am in South America and it's gotten pretty ugly. But let's do what we came here to do as good humans. Let's continue our journey of beauty, health, love and joy because it'll outgrow the ugly, the greed and the rest not even worth mentioning!!! Blessings and love to you Colette. ✨ 💛 ✨ ☄️ ✌️ 🕊️
Your message about nurturing nature resonates with me. Although I'm in a major metropolis of Los Angeles, I find refuge in a property of over 50 years (where my parents raised their family and a place I've returned to care for my mother in her later years). Many fruit trees were planted and are still fruiting while I invest my daily care to growing new harvests. It is a source of joy and reprieve from the world. I've followed your channel for months/years and find it interesting to see commonalities, even many miles away on the globe.
Love your hair, Colette. You know, I didn’t realize that behind your house is a hill. Your woodland is absolutely marvelous and can probably survive nicely with a little less loving care from you, smile. I, too, am walking walking walking. I’m jealous that you can walk in your loafers. These days I need good gym shoes and, gasp, compression socks to go on my walks. 😊
Good vibe Colette. I'm still follow your posts but not so frequent anymore as in the years 2020/22 but still love to watch you. Have a beautiful weekend and all goods from Belgium, daniëlle.
Oh goodness Colette I got a fright when you first talking, i burst into tears and thought you were going to say you are going off u-tube, so thankfully you are not. But it gave me a chance to get alot of pent up emotional out, thank you for that. Im really looking forward to the coming video's and was so happy to go on a walk with you and Patsy, blessings to you both ❤
Just so happy that you have returned and that you are going to continue to share your wonderful life with us!! When you started the video, i got scared for a moment that you were going to leave us! So over the moon happy that you are back and going to stay❤ I saw the Aurora Borealis again last night and thought of you and Bealtaine Cottage. I'll never forget that night it was over the cottage on her 20th Anniversary!! It is one of my favorite memories of my life!! Thank you for still wanting to stay with us. We love you sweet lady!! Blessings in abundance to you and dear Patsy xxxx
Dear Collette. I have been a subscriber for years and have enjoyed the videos of your life on your little slice of heaven. You and I are about the same age and live very similar lives - mine on a small woodland farm in Central PA. My husband is a retired physician and I am a retired nurse. One of the things we have personally learned on our own health and maintaining healthy weight journeys is to shrink the hours of the day in which you eat.... a form of intermittent fasting. We don't eat anything until about 11 AM and then we have a large, mostly vegetable and home-raised egg breakfast. We eat our last meal by 5 PM.... no snacks, and nothing but water or unsweetened herb tea after our supper. I lost almost 20 pounds over a year period, just by doing that. From a medical science point of view, it helps to boost the functioning of your pancreas as well. We feel better and have adapted to this schedule nicely. Best of luck to you in your journey. And by the way.... I love the haircut - it truly suits you!!! Love and Peace from Pennsylvania

What a beautiful transitional time for you. This is GOOD.
I am 71 and about to go out on my own for the first time in MY LIFE! I have very little $$ and I’ve waited for years to find government housing to get OUT of an unhealthy living arrangement. I now received a voucher for housing… have 3 months to find a place, so I am searching now for my first Apt. I am scared and excited. I have watched you for many years and have vicariously held onto strength from your own story. I won’t have a woodland… but if I can even have two pots of something organic.. green… and growing,
It will represent my own success.
For the first time I will have the chance to become my authentic self… on my own with ALL I have been learning about life.. people, relationships as Many have all fallen away. It’s probably a good thing and hoping for new doors to open.

I love this inspirational comment.
Remember dressing up as kids? No? How about our kids or grandkids? They were amazingly brave and shared their joy.
One of my granddaughters would wear her princess crown, favorite T-shirt, and tulle skirt with her yellow rain boots. ❤
Yes, I need to find a crown, or at least a tiara or two. How fun to just be your true unique self.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!GREAT THAT YOU LOVED HER TOO
As a woman of many passions, I’m 100% with you. I’ll come along!
I wish I were your neighbor, you are an inspiration. Thank you
Me too!!❤
To be the neighbour and extend the wonderful woodland already created.
Hear, hear ❤🕊🌻❤ Embracing you, your rants, your core....my word, there is so much I can relate to in your spirit 🌿 thank you ever so much for sharing and might I add...what a gorgeous home you are caretaker of 😍
I can't imagine not being a subscriber! I wouldn't want to miss a thing. I missed you while you were gone and am thankful for your presence here. You help to make social media a better place for me.
Self care is something that women need to re learn.. What you are saying makes complete sense and even getting help for the bits in the garden work area that are needed but out of scale for one person to do themselves.. I look forward to some of your walkabouts .. I love walkabouts!
I thought you looked lovely today, I love your hair style and colour it really suits you and those gorgeous earrings too. Right that’s enough of the flattery, I agree the world is a frightening place , I am so anxious for our beautiful planet, I love connecting with nature , I’m fortunate enough to live in the countryside in Cornwall I’m surrounded by trees , I’m to old at 76 to buy land and create a woodland and I have never had enough money to buy a piece of land when I was young enough , but I applaud you for doing that and maybe inspiring other’s who maybe in that position to do just that. I must try the meditation thing I feel I need to find a way to rid my head of this anxiety . Wandering round your woodland is the best way to start my day so thank you for sharing it all with us.its nice to see little Patsy living her best life with you too.❤️
I am here for it all! IMHO - your rants make me feel sane and seen. I can't wait to hear about all of your passions.
Good to see a post from you. You and dear Patsy have been missed. To new beginnings! Blessings .
Dear lord, we are on such crazy similar paths. I am an off grid homesteader, I am a weaver (two floor looms), I am embracing my lifestyle unabashedly, changing my self-care priorities, and am sick to death of the mental illness afflicting this species. Bring it on baby, you ain’t scaring me!!
Thankyou for coming back Collette n Patsy 💗🤗💗 New creative beginnings, look forward to seeing your creations 🦋 Love n Blessings too you both XX 💕
The perfect time for more self care. The head start/repair to Mother Earth you gave your land has reached the point where she and the land at Bealtaine are now largely on self-sustaining autopilot. It has reached the point where the woodland gives you more energy than you give it (literally and spiritually). Let the woodland thank you by helping infusing you with energies for more personal pursuits - spiritual healing, writing, crafting, music, art, etc etc. Its a time of transition, a joyous milestone! Enjoy it!!!
I am obsessed with the loud sound of birds in your garden it’s blowing my mind it’s so relaxing
Hi Colette , with you all the way . We are lead by complete idiots that want to destroy us and we must go back to a time when life was simple and enjoyable .
Life is for living so let's get on with it .xxx
Finally! Wise words from my favorite woman on YT! I noticed your conspicuous absence and missed you much! You are looking good Colette! Peace and Blessings to you, Patsy and all!🌳🌻🧶🐕🏡😊
I agree Collette, I would find it very easy to rant in my videos. Everything just seems so dreadful at the moment, so I tend to hide away and just concentrate on the little things I can do to help nature and wildlife. With warm greetings from South Wales.
I do love your videos! Very informative and relaxing ☺️
@@bealtainecottage Thanks so much.
Your words inspire with the wisdom and grace of a natural leader and defender of what is sacred. Thank you so much Colette. You are right, politicians and corporations destroy life out of pure selfishness and greed. We must nurture nature and teach others to respect it in every small action of our day, especially the young ones. Blessings and continued abundance to you, Green Goddess of the woodlands!
@@Blancobobea beautiful words 💜
You surely have performed a miracle Colette.
Your precious land is so alive,
The birds are singing their hearts out.
The wind seems to sing its way through every leaf
On every tree.
You have nurtured the land to offer up
A bountiful harvest for the wild life.
The joy you must feel to walk down your
Driveway and know that it’s all down to you.
Don’t let the madness of those apparently
In charge of us enter your world,
After all Mother Nature will always win
In the end,
Best wishes from England.
Thanks for being such an inspiring advocate for woodlands.
You do make me laugh ‘hold back Colette’ I nearly choked on my tea 🤣🤣
Same....
😂
When you said 20 years ago in 2004; I was just stopped in my tracks, has it been that long, it went so fast! I hope the next 20 doesn't go by that fast. I need to practice "slow living," I want to savor each day, and do things that bring me joy. 🌺
Oh colette, I feel your frustration with the terrible things going on in this world. Please don't let it rob you of your joy and peace. I look forward to what you will be sharing with us in your future videos. I am sure they will be very relatable. You are such a joy to share a few quiet moments with. Each time brings me happiness and warmth. You are a treasure to many. Wish you didn't live so far. What a lovely friend you would be. Take care, stay well and thank you! 💖
Collette, I'm with you on all you said. My garden, hobbies, family, and pets are what give me the greatest pleasure, so that's what I now focus on. Getting up in the morning and wandering around the garden checking on my plants and talking to the hens brings me great pleasure. Take care from New Zealand.
Same here Maree .I do exactly that , apart from the hens , but my cats love the morning garden walks . I am in the Nelson region , where are you , Nth or Sth Islander ?
@@chambielion70 North Island, Waikato area. I do love the South Island and make the most of it when visiting my sister in Dunedin.
Glad to see you again Colette! You look great and full of energy..
Go ahead.. experience the new, enjoy your creativity, do it for yourself and for your audience too😀 Blessings to you and Patsy😍🌸✨️
You're looking fabulous. Love your hair, it really suits you. ❤
Really love watching your videos and looking forward to see what you have in store for us ! Love seeing your travels and your creative ideas !
Thank you 🙂🙏🏻🌻
Bollocksoligy from the bollockticians 😂 love it ❤
Yay!!🤣🤣🤣
😂
What is a bollocktician?
😂 Collette will explain
Be as flamboyant as you want. The world may be coming to an end but we can be well dressed to meet it. No joke.
My mother passed away a little over a year ago and I've been on a similar journey of focusing on slowing down and reimagining my life. Creativity has always been important to me but got lost in all the responsibilities of my life over the years. I have been getting some much needed resting and reflecting in and it feels so good. I have been juicing and eating less. Sorting through life in so many ways and tuning out the noise of the world is vital.
❤❤
The kitchen looks beautiful! Good job!
I will hang on for dear life as you fly us to the moon and back!💃🧞♀️🧜
And spread out your own wings and soar with your heart felt energies of love for all of the many blessings that exist right now in your own unique life...soar along with creativeness and your continued love of life unfolding in the mystery moment by moment with wonderment and joy.
You are absolutely able to live freely and unencumbered by craziness and the weight of the world keeping you from focusing on your journey with healing and love....soar with your own personal journey in which you are flying highly and in this process with flow and creativity through flexibility and peacefulness of heart and soul.
You're precious, holy, sacred and beautiful in your own unique ways that are authentic and true representations of your essence and your love 😍
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings...I just wanted you to know that you are absolutely incredible and very important for our species to evolve and grow with exuberance and dedication to live harmoniously and joyously as individuals who are honoring their own existence with love 😍 ❤🎉🕊🦋🐝🪷🌻🌺🌹🌱🍀🌿🦄
I keep your map on my bedroom wall😅❤ and live in gratitude 🙌
Walking has helped me. 4-5 miles a day now where only a few short years ago I walked with a CANE! ❤you are amazing 🤩 and I appreciate all your videos!!
You look glorious today. Thank you for the inspiration ❤❤
Dear Colette, I come from a family who encouraged us to take an interest in world affairs. However now that I am 73 I also share your feelings about the political, economic and ecological chaos! I feel totally despondant towards everything negative in the news today. I have always believed in looking after my own corner of the world which I share with many feathered and furry friends... in return we have a small oasis of woodland and garden which feeds our bodies and souls. Channels like yours which uplift us are what I choose to watch... you are an example of the positive role social media can play, but there is so much to steer clear of as well. I only hope our children and grandchildren will have the support and education to make good decisions for themselves and their futures. Much love to you and all the lovely people who follow you. ❤️
Ah Colette, I'm so happy to see you again, rejuvenated by your retreat. How I long for connection to people who share my passions for Mother Earth, for celebrating the festivals peacefully around a fire. It seems to me, that even sacred celebrations are becoming commercialised and trendy, not in a good way. Maybe I'm getting old and cynical... I'm so thankful for your down to earth honesty and natural wisdom.
Mama your place looks beautiful. Like stepping into another world.
I like your style. I decided, during Covid, to let my hair go grey. I’ve always wanted to be one of those old ladies who does what they like, dresses how they like, and says what they like. Like one of your earlier comments, it would be nice to sit down with a cup of tea and chat! Your videos are like that for me!
Thank you Colette. Great to see you and patsy, your hair is lovely xx
Dear Collette,
I have been with you from the very beginning,
Especially learning you born in Co Tyrone
As my Grandmother was from Stewarsrown Co Tyrone
I was reared in West Belfast until my family
Immigrated to Toronto in 1982
Now I am a senior and a widow
And my greatest delight is following your wonderful vlog
Plus all the wisdoms you educate us with
I miss *Jack' such a beautiful calming presence in your Life
Now of course you wisly for yourself chose
Wee Patsy, my reasoning tells me
You could never replace your wondefful *Jack
So you chose a little female doggie companion
How precious this walk in life for both yourself
You make my Heart ❤sing with joy
Mary Vancouver BC,🇨🇦
And Patsy.
Thank you, Mary for being so observant because that is why I chose Patsy! I could never replace Jack but was ready, after two years of mourning him, to move on.
Inspirational. Thank you so much Colette.
What a great chat dear Colette! Loving your haircut too xx
Enjoy these precious walks. Thank you for sharing. 👍💖
Beautiful still of you @ 8:37. Such freshness in the air. Nice.
We have a mad woman pol in the US state of Georgia. I am also getting back to my Celtic roots and getting funky, fun, and creative in my older years. It’s time!
Yes she's crazy and so is he.
She’s a disgrace and so is your state government. 😢.
What is it about these times where so many malign dark lunatics have risen from their hiding places into places of power, what is it in us who are actually electing such low beings? I feel like we are in Lord or the Rings or viking sagas and some dark force has crept over the land and the weak of mind/character are succumbing to it and becoming its army. In such times, we need to find the light, save the light, nurture the light until more good returns to the land. Like the Irish monasteries found, saved, nurtured the light of learning during the dark ages! Good luck to you, to us all!
I think we are experiencing the Age of Aquarius shift, the Picean Age has ended and the old guard is having a rough time transitioning..those who are rigid and dogmatic can't go with the Humanitarian flow in this Golden Aquarius Age..
I'm hopeful compassion, empathy and a collective awakening that is happening will shed light in dark places..thank you Collette for all the inspiration and beauty you bring to us all its a beautiful journey to be a part of with your collective...your channel has brought me much enjoyment much gratitude ❤
To my fellow Americans in NC and Florida..we send love in abundance prayers unfailing you are not forgotten and God is with you❤
thank you,dear Colette................wise words from a wise woman..................Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘
I just love all of your videos. Been following you for about 5 years?? And I always enjoy seeing what you are making or doing in the cottage as well on the land just don't leave us!! Selfishly, I need your calm voice. Practical views. Acknowleging what I actually feel over here in the U.S. .Sending Peace, Love, and Light to you! Blessed Be!
I missed you 💚 we love Beauty!✨ Beauty will save the world... hopefully.🍀 Nature gives so much comfort! 🌻
Thank you for the reminder to do self-care - it helps get us through all the craziness of the world - and benefits us body, mind, spirit and soul. As my garden season draws to a close here in Indiana USA, I'm anticipating spending more time in my art studio and taking myself on artist dates. Blessed Be!
The Bealtaine Cottage project has been an inspiration for me for many years now. I don’t have the space to create a forest with thousands of trees, but I’m doing my best. But not everyone is able to do what you are doing, even with the best intentions. Usually it’s because they are afraid. Afraid to deviate from the norm, afraid to move into unknown and therefore dangerous territory. When all that is needed is seriously to look and listen. When I moved in, and my house was totally new, my neighbour took one look at the bare soil in the front yard and authoritatively said to me, you still have a lot of work to do. Looking at his front yard, the hint was clear: put tiles and concrete, maybe a couple of pots of geraniums. Needless to say, I had my own ideas… 😊
I so love your channel! This is great, I love your coining of the word "bollocktitions"!
Flamboyant is such a wonderful word to describe how we love to be. We are all individual's and we embrace our flamboyant nature. Boo to the bolloktitions we say.😂❤️🏴🇬🇧
Im on the same path Colette! Living on a farm with my animals in Maine. Love your channel and been watching for years. Youve been my respite and cup of tea in this crazy world❤❤❤😊
Your woodland & house are exceptional. I so enjoy your videos.
So looking forward to where you're going with this Colette and learning more about your other passions. You have so much creativity. Thank you for taking us on the journey with you.
I’m on the same wavelength. I need to pullback to what matters to me; family, pottery, gardening and needle arts. I’m at peace in those arenas and I just refuse to allow myself to be terrorized anymore.
Hi Collette! I’m a subscriber and so enjoy your positivity for creating beauty in the world! Nature and nurture is the way forward!
Good morning Colette, it is so nice to see you again. Welcome back from your retreat. Your woodlands are as beautiful as ever. Take care in this crazy world. Focus on what brings you joy and peace and share that with others. Many blessings to you and Patsy. ❤
Good to see you back Collette. You look really well. Thank you for your words of wisdom xx
Love your video today. I learned a new term that is delightful..."bollocktician"!! Subscribed right then. I am so blessed to live in Oregon in the Pacific NW. Our lovely community of Astoria is on the mighty Columbia River and very near the where it joins the Pacific Ocean. Wonderful wooded areas and seaside at our door. Nature is the best for healing heart, mind and spirit. I wish you joy in this season. You brought inspiration and a smile to mevtoday. 🙏🙏
Thank you, Colette, for sharing your woods and your life! I am glad you are taking care of yourself. Love and blessings to you, your family, and the community you have created for those of us who need the healing and joy you and your channel provide for Mother Earth as well as all of us.❤
Wonderful Colette ! With you 100%. The world has gone mad. Let's make the most of our lives when and wherever we can. Focus on what we can control. Love you and the beautiful corner that you've created in Ireland. Wish I could buy the house next door and do the same. Blessings to you. ❤
Embrace the joy and live in gratitude. YES! 💖💖💖
I love your garden and I always have. I've rarely watched these past six years as my ex stalked me. This is a lovely video! Very uplifting, peaceful, life affirming. Like everything, my home, my garden--all is destroyed--I'm not even sure the lovely earth I had will be fertile . . .so not all your old subscribers who don't watch have abandoned you or the dream. You give me hope.
Thank you Collete and darling Patsy. You are an inspiration. Much love 💖
Kitchen looks Beautiful
We need sincere down to earth people and even though I don't have much free time I enjoyed your RELAXING garden and I don't blame you for getting frustraded with everything I am in SC and we are getting back to normal whatever that means anymore ❤❤❤❤ we all need to go inside of ourselves and do the necesary shadow work, good luck with everything! ❤❤
Gardening is coming to a close in this location. That provides me with the time necessary to change and improve things for next season. Focusing on things I am able to control helps keep my mind from outside "clutter",noise and confusion. " You have a lovely week/weekend, Collette.
Me too. I love gardening, but I also cherish the winter as a time of rest and recharge, spiritually and physically!
Ooh I’ve really missed you, so glad you’re back, you help me to stay positive about life during these very horrible times we’re going through xx
Thank you, Colette. Hugs to you and Patsy ❤
You place is beatiful. Iam inspired! Glad you are taking good care of yourself. As beautiful as your place is... you are the reason God created this. For you😊❤😅
You keep me sane Colette! You`re great.
Mission accomplished Colette you have brought so much Peace & Beauty to the World! This globalist agenda will eventually fall because they are too consumed by greed & power. They are losing the battle slowly but surely! Much Love & Many Blessings to You & Precious Patsy Always❤🐦🐝🌹👌
Lovely video loved the walk self care is very important and lovely to see Patsy enjoying her walk you live in such a beautiful place and it is all your doing I love to see your videos and walk with you and Patsy
Thanks so much!! I love your work!!
Change is good! Your hair is sparkling! Thank you...🙏🪷✨️🌳🐸🐝🌿💝😎🇨🇦
Satanists, I rant every day,got to the point that I can't and won't watch the magic black box in the corner.Thanks Colette. ❤
I have been following you since around 2020 and I too started an important fruitful journey exactly 20 years ago. I must say it has been big and human and spiritual too. As in the paradise you've created. Both your project and mine are about life. I thank you for this video because I too have to open up a little more and visualize those aspects of myself I have left a little behind and work on them.Becsuse, as yourself, it's taken full time devotion to make things work. I too am a single woman and have done the masculine part too in this journey. I have artistic passions as you have and I too need to get out there and lose some weight and be in better shape to be able to enjoy the outcome of my dedication of two whole decades of love and struggles. Finally, just to say that you are not alone when it comes to having to deal with the craziness and evilness of our governors, politicians and others in charge. I am in South America and it's gotten pretty ugly. But let's do what we came here to do as good humans. Let's continue our journey of beauty, health, love and joy because it'll outgrow the ugly, the greed and the rest not even worth mentioning!!! Blessings and love to you Colette. ✨ 💛 ✨ ☄️ ✌️ 🕊️
Colette, I admire you and your lifestyle.. you are inimitable 👋🫳🌱💓😘🌸
I'm excited to see what you're up to Colette!
Your message about nurturing nature resonates with me. Although I'm in a major metropolis of Los Angeles, I find refuge in a property of over 50 years (where my parents raised their family and a place I've returned to care for my mother in her later years). Many fruit trees were planted and are still fruiting while I invest my daily care to growing new harvests. It is a source of joy and reprieve from the world. I've followed your channel for months/years and find it interesting to see commonalities, even many miles away on the globe.
So wonderful to hold on to a property that helped raise a family. ❤
I was excited to see your post this morning! Happy to hear you are prioritizing yourself and great to see little Patsy!!
You have created a real paradise on Earth and you inspire so many people, you deserve self-care, and please enjoy life as much as you can! 💚
Love your hair, Colette.
You know, I didn’t realize that behind your house is a hill.
Your woodland is absolutely marvelous and can probably survive nicely with a little less loving care from you, smile.
I, too, am walking walking walking. I’m jealous that you can walk in your loafers.
These days I need good gym shoes and, gasp, compression socks to go on my walks.
😊
Love the crunch of your steps😊
Good vibe Colette. I'm still follow your posts but not so frequent anymore as in the years 2020/22 but still love to watch you. Have a beautiful weekend and all goods from Belgium, daniëlle.
Oh goodness Colette I got a fright when you first talking, i burst into tears and thought you were going to say you are going off u-tube, so thankfully you are not. But it gave me a chance to get alot of pent up emotional out, thank you for that. Im really looking forward to the coming video's and was so happy to go on a walk with you and Patsy, blessings to you both ❤
Oh wow it looks lovely not overdone but peaceful,good for you doing your own thing 👍🏻😊
Just so happy that you have returned and that you are going to continue to share your wonderful life with us!! When you started the video, i got scared for a moment that you were going to leave us! So over the moon happy that you are back and going to stay❤ I saw the Aurora Borealis again last night and thought of you and Bealtaine Cottage. I'll never forget that night it was over the cottage on her 20th Anniversary!! It is one of my favorite memories of my life!! Thank you for still wanting to stay with us. We love you sweet lady!! Blessings in abundance to you and dear Patsy xxxx
❤❤ I love this. I love nature and the peace. You are a very special human being. Nature is grateful and thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank You!
Dear Collette. I have been a subscriber for years and have enjoyed the videos of your life on your little slice of heaven. You and I are about the same age and live very similar lives - mine on a small woodland farm in Central PA. My husband is a retired physician and I am a retired nurse. One of the things we have personally learned on our own health and maintaining healthy weight journeys is to shrink the hours of the day in which you eat.... a form of intermittent fasting. We don't eat anything until about 11 AM and then we have a large, mostly vegetable and home-raised egg breakfast. We eat our last meal by 5 PM.... no snacks, and nothing but water or unsweetened herb tea after our supper. I lost almost 20 pounds over a year period, just by doing that. From a medical science point of view, it helps to boost the functioning of your pancreas as well. We feel better and have adapted to this schedule nicely. Best of luck to you in your journey. And by the way.... I love the haircut - it truly suits you!!! Love and Peace from Pennsylvania
Thanks!
Thank you so much, Zoe! It is very kind of you indeed. Blessings Colette and Patsy XXX.
I'm right there with you. What next and how do we women move forward to create sanity, joy and manifest our creativity.
Love whatever direction you will take us ❤ 😊
❤❤❤ blessings to you and for sharing beauty and inspiration in this chaotic life. ❤️❤️❤️
