Magnificent job Martijn! Absolutely beautiful! I'm a 75 year old granny who has watched from Episode One. You're a superb craftsman and have created a wonderful home for yourself. Thanks so much for including us all on such an enjoyable journey. Can't wait to see what is coming next. Well done! And enjoy your beautiful home!
Loved this video martin, also this is a formal petition for Chiara to make her own youtube channel, she's awesome!
Chiara has her own channel, read the description in Ep. #73 and above.
That is a good idea because I was unaware of "Honey Garlic."
Aye, so value her insight and extensive knowledge. Her skills are so important to pass on to be generations. Foraging is amazing, and YAH's beautiful and bountiful earth has soooo much useful, edible, medicinal plants for us to use. Would love to see her with her own YT channel.
@@_PJW_ instagram. Not youtube on there, or am I missing something?
@@_PJW_ I only see her Instagram and website no youtube?
"There's no pressure anymore." What a lovely way to end it. Thank you!
Martijn- You have absolutely earned the right to now and for many years to come to live with no pressure.
And that is the healthiest way to cope with Italy's bureaucratic machinery. They don't know the concept of urgent. And you can't appeal to anyone for help.
Something I think a lot of us wish they could say in their own lives. Every day a cabin on a mountainside is looking better and better.
Chiara is a younger version of my wife. Penelope (my wife) who was born and raised on the Portuguese vineyard I purchased as a wedding gift and presented to her. Her Father had lost the property due to none payment of tax. She's been teaching our twin daughters the joy of 'foraging' for the last 15 years... taking them on long walks through the National Forest to the East of us. The abundant and varied diet we enjoy is all down to her. Her Parents both lived nearby and were an awesome source of advice, aid and support at the start of our venture.
Sadly, Penelope lost both parents just before Christmas, last year - they were both diagnosed with Dementia and the decline was startlingly rapid and severe... Christmas was a time of grief and yet, surprisingly, joy.
To not, daily, have to interact with someone you love but who no longer remembers you, gave us time to reflect and recall the good times... tears of sadness could be turned to tears of laughter as we told stories, recounted tales and gathered their whole to our hearts.
I'm Italian, I had an uncle affected by the same illness. He was a vigorous bricklayer and a tireless cyclist all his life. I offer you a few words of comfort, I can understand your situation.
❤So beautifully said. What joy yr wedding gift is bringing/has brought to so many souls Bob. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful story….thanks for sharing ❤
Your wife's parents lived their lives in Sunshine and in Shadow. Acknowledge the shadow and then honour the sunshine that was their lives. Keep them alive, speak of them most days. x
Wow Bob hope your family thriving despite the sudden loss. Yes keep them in your thoughts. I burn candles 🕯️
Glad to see Chiara's back. So much to learn from her.
А хто вона така?
@@moskaliaky_na_giliakythese people act like they know her 😅
@@lyriclanguages3780 I don't know her. But she has already appeared in another video, and her knowledge of herbology is always welcome.
@@moskaliaky_na_giliakyShe's a friend of Mr. Doolaards'. She has been a guest in a previous episode. She is very knowledgeable about herbs and wild flora.

I love the easy way you and Chiara talk and relate. Unlike the others who want romance, I just want you to have a whole host of connections with people who are kindred spirits. Chiara brings knowledge, intelligence and a peace that can be hard to find. I know we're not the only ones who enjoy her visits. Even the chickens like her gentle energy 🥰
Oh well said! 👏
Exactly right 👍
@@JoanArc-or9sr in two words you encapsulated it all 🤣😆😅perfect!
Yeah, the others that just want romance are unhinged condepemdants that are lost without a romantic partner. Like dont project your insecurities here.
Nothing wrong with a bit of chaste, yet deep appreciation, with the 'very much at ease in each others company' that comes with it. It's heartening to see. That being said, the moment she feeds him the unnamed herb/watercress was very playful
Chiara is amazing. Her knowledge opens the door to the amazing world of plants.
Nice to see Chiara back Martjin! Proud man showing off his home. ❤❤
❤❤❤❤
Chiara is a magical creature. It's always impressive to watch someone who sees and understands the world around them so intimately and who is so comfortable in nature and in their own skin.
Love that the pressure is off and you can approach tasks at your leisure now.
The chickens are the stars and they have a mansion to prove it. Everywhere you look here it is beautiful. This video lifted me - Thank You
Didn't there used to be 3 chickens?
@@Marty_Wanlassyes. Unfortunately a neighbor's wandering dog got it. The white chicken almost didnt nake it either. But thankfully did
@@Marty_Wanlass there used to be 4 hens😀
The soft sound they make is almost musical ✨
What a wonderful episode yet again and what a joy to be able to listen to Chiara. Thank you for putting the names of the foraged food on screen and also what was made. I took a screenshot of both to act as a memo and to try and learn and remember from the information kindly imparted by you both. When I was a very small boy growing up in Wales, I asked my great-grandmother about what wild food we could eat and she told me what to collect. I remember gathering nettles and dandelion leaves and later my grandmother prepared them for my great-grandmother and I to eat. I loved my great-grandmother very much and this episode brings back fond memories of that time, long ago.
Really enjoyed seeing Chiara forage and finding plants that some of us just walk by not knowing their names and all their wonderful benefits .... excellent! Your home is becoming amazing!
“I like the rain. It washes memories off the sidewalk of life.”
I like that ❤
You sound like Chiara and the Fairies 😊
More like Woody Allen
I like the rain too. It is soothing.
Yeah! Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms watching!!
Grazie!
Meanwhile...on the part of the Planet which ISN'T the US of A......!
TY
@@andymccabe6712 The second Sunday in May is celebrated as Mothers day in over 90 countries.
Chiara has wonderful knowledge. So kind of her to share.
Everything you build, fix or construct is perfect and full of detailing. No compromises! Love it!!!
Chiara is the most beautiful jewel of the forest.
Chiara is a gem!
I've booked a foraging course with Chiara. And I gifted one to my mum
Another, all-too-short Sunday respite in the gorgeous mountains of northern Italy, with friends of goodwill for a fine person and his good work.
Ty CHIARA for your outstanding knowledge on herbs and tinxtures..❤you are a beautiful soul.❤
GOD BLESS YOU GIRL..
THANKS for your appearance..😊peace
Upon you..
You have such a calm soul Martjin. It shows in your edits. ❤
Sometimes not so calm? Lol
Oh wow! So much beauty in this episode.The cloudy atmosphere during a dinner in the rain, completion of the cabinet artfully made, but my favorite was Chiara! Beautiful and brilliant. So grateful for her knowledge and art she shares as a Forager. The names, special properties, and myths of the plants gave me a window into how people lived long ago, so much closer to nature. 🙏 Thank you Martijn and Chiara for sharing such beauty! It is nourishing ~💓
Martins most interesting and informative guest, by far.
She's definitely cool, but I like when his parents visit.
Yes, enjoyed her visit v. much, but miss Don Johannes.
🎉I only have eyes for you🎉 I know what she’s thinking, Martijn: “I wonder if this house is big enough for two people”
Enkk was the best... ❤
@@nbc902 In the comments on her earlier visit (Ep. #73?) @JasonEntine mentioned Chiara is married to Gigi from the other channel. So she was just flirting a bit. Women. 🙄
There is something about Chiara.
If she does not have a channel on UA-cam you need to encourage her to begin making content!
If she does have a channel you need to link it!
If you have already linked it, thanks. 😁
Chiara enters the property and the sun starts shining, that says enough.
And Martin as well ❤❤❤
😂
that's how they call it nowadays...foraging😊
@michenji get a life man seriously. Stop making such a innocent thing like having a skilled guest on the show into something that it's damn well not!
@@JoanArc-or9sr her we have the judge... life is already too serious my friend.. leave some space for humor and soft sarcasm... and above all there's nothing wrong in "foraging" with a nice skilled lady, so go out, watch the sunshine and smile!
I also use herbs instead of medicin but Chiaras knowledge is on another level. It will come a time when we will realise that herbs which grow freely can cure us and feed us.
Chiara is a treasure.
You make my whole week. Thank you for it! I do believe this is how man should live. Martijn Doolaard I admire you!
I would like to live like this but I'm 74 now, (and not in the best of health). Oh, if I could grab back 30 years!
It staggers me that people come from all over the world just to help!
Martijn you must be doing something which is human. What people want to do! Living their lives in normality.
May your Gods bless you! 🙂
Bryan
Absolutely correct. But even in our later years we can grow herbs in season in pots and save seeds to give to other gardeners.
@@AnitaSouthall Very true Anita 🙂
45:31. Sitting in the sunshine in the Italian alps bottling freshly picked wild produce with a gorgeous Italian lady. Bliss.
Wonderful!! She is lovely, nice to see her on the property again.
Chiara means light and she is a fairy! Seriously she is so in tune with the earth and plants it’s inspiring and beautiful. What a wealth of knowledge she has and in the midst of the beautiful spaces you foraged added complete magic to this video. Thank you. It’s wonderful also the progress you are making in your bottom room.
I am jealous as you walk thru alps with red haired beauty picking plants to eat. You are the man. Good work.
I'd say flaxen hair :)
Beautiful lady. Very knowledgeable. Enjoy see her there.
I know I’m not the only one to have my heart melt when Martin and Chaira walked down the road together 💕😍! I hope it’s not too bold to say Martin , but she’s perfect for you ! Needless to say , I loved watching the foraging walk and then to have her then make things with all the gathered herbs was fascinating!
Martin is a dyed in the wool loner and bachelor.
Sadly thru out time, women have been goddess like, men merely sticks🎄
That walk down the hill together though wow
@@reladieeven single people need dear friends
@@wdbearfan seriously swooning
"They're is no pressure anymore"
Awesome. The best is yet to come.
That faucet is absolutely beautiful! The little touches make all the difference
Loved seeing Chiara again! Her knowledge is fascinating and I enjoy learning from her😊❤️
Nice episode! and Chiara, well definitively she's a keeper!
Reading other comments obviously her existing husband would think so too.
Wonderful woman Chiara, great to see her back!
Enjoyed the helpers/visitors and what they brought to this week's video.
Chiara has some serious Earth-Mother vibes! What a wealth of knowledge!
I loved seeing Chiara, fascinating, beautiful, an earth angel or fairy, she was wonderful, brought a delicacy and beauty to Martjin's practicality and construction
That old van is cool!
"No pressure now." Time to soak it all in and enjoy. Another lovely video, Martijn!
One with God! That would be the most worshipful place for me. How could you not sit and talk to him when you see all that beauty! Things he’s created you getting the view right there. Thank you, Martin for giving us such a blessing every week.!!
Wow on the fittings! Amazing, classy!
Sunday evening angst pushed away for 50 mins, thank you.
Come on! You can do it! 👍
Address it directly from within, otherwise you'll be only covering it, God is the direction to follow, I know it from experience
Very informative and relaxing Chiara.
I absolutely love the way you edit your videos. They as beautiful as they are entertaining.
I am looking forward to your gardens and greenhouse. Thank you for another beautiful video!
Might be a good idea to scorch the ends of the fenceposts before burying them. It staves off rot and makes them last longer in the ground.
you and Chiara have a nice chemistry....cool to see her again
Chiara is everything I would ever hope for in a foraging guide ..so happy she participated in the always excellent video story.
So glad she's back! So much information resulting in an amazing and informative video! Hope to see her more often
I have immensely enjoyed the foraging with Chiara. You should do one full video just doing that. Many thanks and hugs to Chiara!
Chiara is so beautiful ! Happy Mother’s Day everyone
I truly believe one day we will all see one of Martijn's films on the big screen. He truly is a filmmaker extraordinaire.
We need chiara more often please ❤
What a sweet, gentle, intelligent and down to Earth woman Chiara is. I pray this might be a match made literally in heaven. (Edited) Edited because I forgot to say she is also beautiful!
I agree .☝️
What lovely guests you have. So glad the home is now almost ready. The pressure is off. Remember what it looked like when Martijn arrived?
She is married
@@user-lb2le3oi5h The AI Kardashian sheeple bots don't care.
O my goodness!!! That was my thought!!! She is the "perfect" match for Martijn!! We already had found the perfect male friend match. Ollie or whatever his name is but now we have found the perfect, female match!! And we are good to go :0)
Love this presenation So good to see Chiara again. She is so knowledgeable and skilled. Greetings to all here.
I so enjoy your video's, I am a 71 year old grandmother and I still enjoy learning new skills. Keep the good work, it is lovely.
this channel is one of the most precious thing here in youtube
Só cute you two together. Chiara thanks for sharing you knowledge❤❤❤
Chiara has been the most interesting and informative guest Martin’s has had. Generally you would like to introduce her to your viewers in a more engaging, respectful of her knowledge, maybe something about her background. Thank for another wonderful video ❤
Best shot of the video was you and Chiara walking down the road together. I love her and thank her for sharing her knowledge.
35:32 a song comes to mind….”love is in the air”! ❤
I think you are wrong... she is married
@@user-lb2le3oi5h Divorce has been legal for a while
Grow up bro seriously. Bunch of losers on this channel
Chiara seems to be an endless source of knowledge. She has such a kind personality and is just a lovely woman.
I love your channel! Having Chiara join you again was a nice touch. I’m interested in foraging myself, and then it never hurts to add a little feminine beauty to a video. 😊 Thanks for sharing!
These videos are the highlight of the week!
I usually watch again 3 - 4 times and currently viewing from video #1 again and at #35
Walking with the foraging girl feels like a beautiful dream walk through the forest ❤
she is a woman, not a girl
Hoi Martijn, als je de Acaciapaaltjes goed wilt houden, kun je ze na het verwijderen van de bast “verkolen”.
Vuurtje maken, het gedeelte dat in de grond gaat in het vuur leggen en flink aanbranden. Hup de grond in en klaar. Werkt perfect. Geen houtrot of wat dan ook en is de oplossing voor de laaaaaaange termijn 😎
Gr. Rob.
Hey Martijn... I'm always impressed with your capacity for hard work and at the same time your attention to detail. Bravo!
Happy Mothers Day to all, Hello From Houston, Texas
🇦🇺💜🇺🇲💚😊👍
Happy Mother's Day to all and to Martin's mom, for birthing a great Renaissance man ❤ Thank you for letting us peak in 😊
Loved that, foraging has never had so much.....tension!
You are crafting such a beautiful place for yourself. And I am so happy that your weekly videos give me the sense that I am part of the process!
That faucet! How beautiful! Such great taste you have. That's the artists eye. We call that plant with all the yellow flowers Marsh Marigold and it's one of my favorites.
A beautiful companion to a lovely vlog...
Martijn's followers open their hearts, share touching stories of happiness, pain, and reflection.
💞 Thank you Martijn, for creating a virtual space where we linger, long after the video has ended...
I'm traveling around Italy. Hiking in your area. Dropped a bottle of wine for you at your sign on the road by your cabin. You're a real artist at everything you do. Your now a master stone mason. Looking forward to your shop build.
So nice Foe Martijn to be at this point! Pressures off and he can really take his time now with everything he wants to do! He can enjoy the fruits of his labour much more now
Martijn we love you!
Really nice to see that the pressure is off for now. Really interesting to learn about plants from the foraging lady. And the hens are the cutest animals, almost like pets.
What a delightful lesson from the foraging lady.Ive learned so much, and I'm very intrigued.Thanks for another wonderful episode.
The forest fairy has returned to bless us with her magical knowledge!
Protection priority for the two wonderful feathered companions ❤🐔
Everything about this video is fascinating. ❤
Living the typical American life here in Arizona, about to hit 46 years, my eyes well with tears of longing that, someday, I’ll be able to build a slow and peaceful life like the one you depict so beautifully.
Love the walk with Chiara
i prefer the sounds of nature, rain, birds, wind, silence, to the new age music.
God’s creation is amazing… He provides everything we need.
So cosy the kitchen for having a dinner together, with the tools resting on the stool.
Chiara is so informative!! I feel like we step back in time when she visits....
very very cool, you and the girl, and spring and the smells of grass, mountains, everything is great. absolutely beautiful....keep going, we love you Martin.
Our own piece of paradise, Martijn. Hard work, but you've done it!
such a beautiful contrast to enjoy feminine energy; Chiara is a lovely person!
The foraging videos are just always so enjoyable to watch. It's like a cozy blanket for my soul
The views of the mountains when it’s bad weather is stunning glad you have willing helpers Martin always look forward every time thank you
Your amazingly beautiful video is here for us to enjoy. Thank you!
For me one of the most enjoyable episodes todate watching and listening to that knowledgeable Chiara and the lads grafting in the rain Etc Etc
Stinging nettles are some of the most nutritious greens you can eat. They have 4 times the vitamin C as oranges per volume. They also make a great concentrated liquid fertilizer when fermented.
