Barnaby November 2024 update.

Video diary of the least progress I've made on Barnaby this year. Tough one financially and mentally. Luckily some work came up and I was able to clear their work yard of off cuts of polystyrene and floorboards. It's now most usefully put to purpose and not thrown away. I'm renovating in slow time. A huge fire wood haul and process has happened and I'll need another one before winters end. Mind...

Krivan in the High Tatra's. Absolutely gorgeous mid September day. I've not peaked any Slovak hill or mountain. So for first go hike to peak why not Krivan. Woke daily to it's magestic power as a bedroom view. Now I live right at the bottom of the High Tatra's. Five hours up and four down. Nine hours with breaks and photos included. Krivan is Slovakia's national mountain peak, featured on coins...

Turning up with huge balls and an attitude stinking the place out. Oliver Crumpet Cromwell got his castration and now smells sweet and is super chill ending his years in love and warmth. Cat rescue gold this guy.

Its been a busy month and not much snow. In fact too many warm rainy days. Sunny snowboarding in Jasna Slovakia on the Lucky piste. Nice to feel the spring air but odd mid February when it's normally minus 10 and below and deep in snow. It's piste and side hits until the powder comes.

More of a tourist video than an action one. The route from Vazec to Strbske Pleso via the village train and the furnicular train from Strba to Strbske Pleso to go snowboarding ot skiing if that's your bliss. It is a lovely route and very cheap for the experience. Less carbon footprint and you can enjoy a honey wine. Planning food and drinks around the transfer times helps and Strbske Pleso is a...

Stray cat Oliver protecting me from a new stray.
Hes so happy just sitting there chatting.
He's my number one cat. The longest bond from kitten. 8 years ❤️
They don't look ferral? My wife's rescue took ferral cats and she had a mare of a time with them.
Third winter here.. It's been a full year since the last one was rescued.. Still a few more to go.. That means that they are all healthy and well cared for.. There have been moments.

Are these stray cats you've made a warm home for?
Every cat is a rescue at my place.. Terry Tabbie kitten, Calico Kookie 4 months so young... Took them out of an apartment they grew up in for two years and once they roamed the garden they got followed home by strays and ferals. About a dozen visit and the 3 above have worked their way inside.. Its taken a fair amount of policing.
Dont think your supposed to give them chicken bones!
Aw just beautiful Max ❤
He's double the size now and very soft. 🧡🙏🏻🧡 Thank you
It was great seeing you at the RJ Spina meditation today 🤩🌟💎🌏
Wanda ❤️ No way. I had my eyes closed in the bath. Most beautiful and I love how we are all connected. 🧡🙏🏻🧡
@@Max_Snellink Truly a beautiful feeling of Oneness ❣
I'm chuckling with a slight blush.. Hopefully you didn't watch the video 😂
Yes to PANG!
You serve ❤️
What's wrong with your jelly legs, boyo. Also where you going if a bear comes to say hi? 🤣
I'd immediately go live stream me making friends with Mr Yogi bear or film my passing. Small nutrition and 4 hours broken sleep prior to this adventure. Left home 0630. Got back twelve hours later.

Bet you’re feeling it today. ❤

My white kitty was Oliver too 😻😽🫶💎
Can't believe he was feral.. He's now the best cuddle cat and old Don of the house. So adorable. 🧡 I've lost a few and down to 5 cats now. 🤠
Sweet ❤
Its raining it's pouring the old man was snoring. ❤️

Cool
Hamish Gillan here
which car set up?
For this track I've got my own tune. It was the track that got me back into Forza and tee start of building tunes. Orange 8 is my most popular public tune. I've got world top 20 with it. Even though the 3 and 4 speed tunes are easier to drive and race with.. I've never seen an F1 with 3 gears so refuse to drive them. 8 speed no assists all the way. Renault RS17 in this.. Last year before Halo came in.
@@Max_Snellink in forza 7 there isn t your orange 8 set up

Aw.. I love Oliver!!!!! ❤ This is great ..poor oliver.. and the crutch incubater.. haaa. Why did he have bloood on his foot. And why hell pee on himself. What vet do to him!?
❤❤❤
Ha ha!. That was excellent.. Thanks for sharing.. I especially enjoyed the little paw prints through the snow & the "ginger raiders"?.. x
OLIVERS LIVING OUT HIS BEST LIFE RELAXIN'.. GOD BLESS "OLIVER!"
Poor pussy cats .. god bless you feeding them... You can see they really really need it.. want it.. appreciate it.. On behalf of all the cats "THANKYOU! ".. 😊
Cats are territorial ... He was telling you a story... He was telling you he loved you. And " where you been? " And " thankyou for talking to me.. '' " i wanna be here with you! " he said.. "yes. i want food. " " its been hard.." " thanks for your help." But then the other cat come up in the territory and hissed at him cause its his home / place / territory!... [ So poor oliver had to go back in his little house.. >} That was really sad😢🐱.. But he'll be ok . At least your there. He just wants to be heard.. . Thankyou for your heart . Just call me the "cat whisperer.. Haaaa❤🐈
That's a 95% whispering translation.. Slight Slovak dialect to it. He went from arriving outside my door with a funk n stunk, matted and greasy to now probably the maddest best cat with the biggest attitude I've ever had. He's old.. Got one tooth but still loves feather wand and pillows cuddles. Or ass on throat.. I'm owned. I've even managed to socialise him with my two apartment cats who are now enjoying barn and garden life. Making cat friends. I've 7 daily feeders and another 3 more twice a week.
Aw.... Hes really lovin that love... Like hes savouring it ti take with him...cause its all hes got... Beautiful boy...
Took me 18 months to gain this trust.. This is I dare say his first human touch. He was so skatty as a kitten for almost two years. I have to keep him and Oliver apart but this fighting feral actually guards my cats against bigger ferals. He's a dude.
Aw.... Jeremy!!
You sure hes a stray.. poor baby. ❤🐱
Oliver sleeps in bed with me every night and smells lovely. ❤️
Old Oliver Crumpet Cromwell, stray cat to house cat. Living his best life. ❤
Bro this is so cute ❤
Haha cheers Terry T-Bone, he's been doing this for years.. Doesn't always work.
So awesome!!
Thanks for watching 🖖🏻
Buy buy Oliver’s balls!
very cool! It looked like you almost smacked your head into a pole at one point, which was quite scary. You could do some mud boarding where I am....
Weather is crazy. My pivnica is flooded. Never had a warm February like this.. Quagmire is a great word for the current conditions. I'd possibly take some mud over a densely populated piste.. Half term mogels are quite the hilarity.. Just missing things is my specialty.
@@Max_Snellink the slopes around her are just mud now so we don't have the usual half term madness (starts next week in the east). A couple of years ago my wife went through a shabby chic phase and decorated everything with it - pastel colours. This year it looks like we're going with 'black mould chic' because that seems to be everywhere from the constant saturation of the walls and ground
@@CarpathianAdventure oh yes I have battled that and it claimed some fond clothes. Basically stored my clothes wrong.. Doh.
@@Max_Snellink leather boots and jackets get covered in the stuff really quickly
@@CarpathianAdventure My new stove is brilliant and with a huge fan and constant airation I've won so far with minor casualties.
That's rather lovely living space you currently occupy 😍I was born in the east part of the republic, Košice, and even though I am a "panelák child", I've always loved spending time at my great-grandma's house 🥰 There are only a few houses in the village where she lived, not even 50 of them, so the quietness of that place is truly magical. I simply love our old dwelling architecture and I adore our Slovak nature and countryard. It's just a pity it's getting warmer winter by winter and I haven't been able to see such a huge load of snow for quite a few years already. I remember times when I was small and even in the city we got such a huge snow blankets.
I'm just about to leave LM for Kosice reading this.. Yes the winters are warmer.. Currently February should be minus 20 and thigh deep in the villages with snow. It's all gone. Crazy warm weather. However lots of snow is a pain the zadok really logistic wise. Snowboarding is different.. You want the fresh snow.
You nuff love abandon injured people at the top of mountains 🤣
He technically could ride/walk that last 400m to the bar at bottom and he rode it out.
Nice video❤ I watched it a few times, actually 😊 I like snow as long as it's on TV or on the postcards, lovely views! A real adventure🏂, seemed to me, but a nice one. Thank you for sharing! Happy New Year to you and your loving furry babies! 💞❄
Happy New Year and may this year be a good one for us all. Much love to you Georgiana and your fur babies 🧡🙏🏻🧡
💝🙏☃️
I love Oliver❤❤❤such a sweet guy, finnaly found a home (love, warmth, a human friend) and he is sleeping soooo relax and confident that everything is okay 😴 God knows what kind of a life he had, but right now he looks happy (and you too, Max😊). I think he is dreaming about chasing birds or other cats, or running... I am so glad you have each other 💞❄🙏God bless you!
💝💝💝
I really dislike cold weather 😅 but I have to admit that the sun on the snow is amazing. And the mountain view is incredibly beautiful 😍.
Decent amount of layers and movement really helps. The crisp air refreshes the lungs like no other. 👍🏻
Them Windows are sooooooo much better. Gutted I wont see the fireworks through then on Nye. Last year was mega 🎉
Such a lovely video❤❤❤ 4:40 my favourite moment😊 and Oliver at 7:20 - so precious 💞 You have a PARADISE there, the view of the mountains, the light and your boys and girl(s)🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈 Bless you for your warm soul💝🙏 Take care!
Happy we entertained. Yeah Oliver's been a hoot and a dream today. I'm making good life choices with cats and countries. Super blessings on you 🙏🏻🤩
❤Some brown spots remained in the living room and blue still exist, but rain washed away the green. So sweet you have their paws marks on the cement 😊 like the stars on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood 😂
simply a beautiful view...
❤ Never ever bored of it ❤ Yesterday's golden hour with a full moon rising over those peaks was very special. Much love. 🙏🏻
Definitely a beautiful view. Cats are we’ll looked after your a blessing to them buddy.
It's a fun juggle. Especially keen to help in the winter months here. 🙏🏻🤠
Poor Terry😞 reminds me of Lache, who we had to trim the fur on his paws, because he stepped in fresh paint when we renovated - first green (on the stairs in the backyard),then blue (on a shelf) and finally brown (on the stairs inside).😅 Good luck with the renovation and the cats-parenting! ❤😊
Did you get any multi coloured prints around the house.. I'd have kept those. Making cement steps last year they ran through it and I've got their prints forever.
Love it 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Do a cat rad 👌🏻
Max the Cat Daddy 💖😺
I'm feline catatonic 💪🏻🤠
Sooooo MUCH SNOW 😱😱😱 love the way they welcomed you❤❤❤❤❤ they kept the Fort safe 😅 and the bed warm for daddy 😊 "Now that you fed us, you can go clean up the yard of snow and when you came back, bring some more food/meat!" Send LOVE and JOY to you all💝💝💝💝💝 Have a nice Christmas!☃️☃️☃️🎄 🙏😍🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈
Beautiful message thank you. Lots of cat love and festive fun to you. The snow here has kicked in.. So much more to come.. I end up building a snow maze for the cats. More really feral cats have set up camp in the barn out the cold.. I've 5 in and 3 barn. I only own two haha. Much love Georgiana ❤️
@@Max_Snellink All I like about snow is the possibility of building a snowman, I absolutely LOVE snowmen☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️ I have a bunch of decorations with snowmen in the house all year long(my cup of tea has 2 of them, this December I bought myself as birthday present a pair of earrings with snowmen). I built a real one a few years ago- Cipi my calico girl attacked it, but Lache, my eldest boy was so afraid of it, that I had to demolish it the next day😅 I don't know, maybe cats and snowmen aren't compatible 🙄☃️🐈? 💝🎀☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️
@@Georgiana-g.avrila Amazing. Yeah snowmen are cool. No pun intended. Riding fresh snow is the dream. Shovelling ice boulders and crusty snow isn't... 🤔 I should build a snowman. 👍🏻
@@Max_Snellink Then go and live the dream 🏂I saw your short videos on the snowboard 😎 spectacular views, even if frightening!
@@Georgiana-g.avrila Early season I've only had a couple of days and they were bad weather so not worth a camera.. I'll grab some mad footage soon. It's absolutely stunning here with clear weather.
I like the glass of treacle you served yourself at 1:30 :) We keep getting hit by random blizzards as well. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas man and I seriously hope we finally get to meet up sometime in the new year
It's been an absolute manic end to the year.. Haven't had 5mins to myself. Everything that could of gone wrong did/broke and I'm still smiling. The alcohol adventure making mead is fun. I'm pasteurising and bottling today and tomorrow a huge batch of date mead. I'm burnt out from 3 hours digging snow today. Drive.. Van was buried by the plough and the Obec people knocked on door and ordered me to take my van off road. Ironically it's off the road with a plethora of faults. To be fair they dug me a lay by up the road and laughed at me. Have a wonderful festive season will save a date wine for you. 💪🏻🤠👌🏻
@@Max_Snellink first off you need to invest in a good pair of snow shoes - I spend 90% of the time wearing a pair of fake tree-camo crocs from a Chinese shop. Great fun when wading through snow in the dark to go chop logs. We've also had a really shite end to the year with everything going wrong. The universe had an A or B choice on several occasions in some quite major ways and always chose the one which would inflict the most emotional or mental or financial damage. I hope you've got some visitors coming out this season - it'll get you out on the slopes and breathe some new life into Barnaby.
@@CarpathianAdventure I swapped labour for a Rad pair of snow boots. They should also marry up to my snow shoes for hiking later. Exactly what you said the universe dealt some wild cards and cleaned me out. Bonus is new stove and windows. Wow what a difference. Ran out of easy wood. I'm now on to emergency trunks and coal. Which gets the cottage part of Barnaby very hot. With the snow dumps a few friends have shown interest in coming out. I'm using the trains now. Gave up smoking 🚬 went cold turkey and for that first month turned alcoholic and drank all my mead. 🤣
@@Max_Snellink the wife's got me hunting wellies with fleece interiors for Christmas, but i'll probably still be wandering around in fake crocs lol. Today i have all three fires going but the wood we got this year is still wet and isn't doing its job. It didn't really get chance to dry because of all the rain and flooding making the air humidity so high. You know I live in the only region without a railway - or a motorway? Tomorrow I have to endure what Slovaks consider Christmas dinner - it's more like a test of will power and overcoming primal revulsion. "Just a symbolic portion, please" for all 13 dishes (starting with raw garlic, communion wafers and honey).... except with macanka as I can't even manage a symbolic amount of that. Cep soup made with cream and the liquid left over from sauerkraut. Seriously, WTF? Kapustnica I do like though - sauerkraut and smoked sausage soup.
@@CarpathianAdventure Did I mention my new lady is from Bardejov? She's not flinched at my barn life living and keeps coming back. Luckily I've the next 4 days being fed roasts of the British kind. My weekly shop this week was milk. You're gauntlet of food sounds interesting. 🤔
Mr this is not my cat...glad you all seem well. May you all have a nice christmas.
Thanks David you too. Much abundance and love 💪🏻🤠❤️
🥰😇😸😸
What a strong and wise cat, for an outdoor cat to live 10 years is quite unusual.
Honestly the amount of food vs litter tray visits this old cat is doing he hasn't got long left. Similar odour and frequency to a cat I lost last year. Oliver is very unusual bless him.
@@Max_Snellink ❤️Bless him and 🫶 bless you too for helping him and being by his side. Fingers crossed🙏
Barnaby looks gorgeous in the snow!
Giving the recipe to the wife now . Cheers
i would like the recipie plz
2 cups flour with a pinch of salt and a quarter teaspoon of baking soda. Knead in 1 cup warm water. In another bowl one cup warm milk with teaspoon of sugar and a bit of yeast. Roughly a teaspoon and let that activate and wake the yeast up for 30 mins.. Then mix together well everything and let it rise.. You should be looking for a frothy very loose batter. Pre heat pan and rings. No rings. Use a very small pan. Once pan and rings are oiled up and hot add in the batter two thirds of ring depth as it will rise. Cook for around 5 mins until top of Crumpet is dry. Flip and remove from rings and let cool. One min in a toaster or under grill later to warm up to serve. Great with jam. But I prefer savoury so cheese ham eggs etc also work. 👌🏻😍
