Can you please 🙏 😢 write ✍️ 🙏 us the name of that cheese 🧀 so we can find it all over the world 🌎 🙏???
Cecilia please do scenery more longer :)
Just an ambient song and scenery. Its my sleeping pills. Hehe
Cecilia, would love for you to do a video on the wifi and cell phone coverage in Svalbard. For instance, here 3:43 can you get cell phone coverage?
Just bought a lifetime subscription to Babel… to learn Swedish. (Norwegian or Danish might be next… ) I had been thinking about it for a while but “Grimm’s ad” in your video pushed me to have another look at their site and the deal was just too good to pass up.
I always dreaming to love in a calm place like yours. Full of snow and very calm surround u. By the way, I wanna say this from long ago.... I love your cabin and it's very inspiring me to have like yours 1 day. It's so cozy and homey.
Cecelia, I realized you are the human equivalent of Grim. Always happy and full of joy for a new day and going outside. This is your appeal. It’s lovely!
Yesss supposedly dogs pick up on their owners traits and basically has their personality
Aww yes, so sweet comment and true 🌸
Yes so true!😊
She is like grim but she passes up the frozen poop 💩 lol
“Lovely”……perfect word for Cecelia.
The storytelling, editing and low key presentation on this channel is absolutely next level. Thank you Cecilia, Christoffer and Grimm for giving us a glimpse of your slice of heaven, an area that most of us never knew before you and probably will never visit but enjoy living vicariously through your family
Awww THANK YOU! 🙌🏻🫶🏻
Cecilia, hello from Canada!
I came here to say exactly this! I’m new to your channel, Cecilia, and really enjoying your stories and life on Svalbard. Please continue to share your wonderful stories! ❤️
So beautifully said! 👏🏻👏🏻
I agree 💯!! So well done. Cecilia, your love of life comes through loud and clear in each video. Thank you for sharing with us.
100% Agree! Well said. ❤
Thank you Cecelia, Christoffer & Grimm.
I love that she just calls the airport and says, hi, it's Cecilia
Yes! That was great 😂
She's Svalbard famous now 🤣.
OMG the way Grim reacted when the glasses slid down his face, it was so cute, almost human-like. Grim is the best.
Length of video isn’t as important as content. The content today was full and left me wanting more. Which is the goal. Excellent job giving glimpses into life in Longyearben and Svalbard! It’s fascinating to me that babies nap outside…and that’s normal for your part of the world! I’m sure there are other things. Your channel is the best and I’m thankful I stumbled across it. You do a great job! It’s good to see more of Christoffer, too.
Thank you so much for these kind comments 🙏🏻 😊
I laughed so much when Christoffer said “I’d say stark. I don’t know what it means but it is very stark”. I love his sense of humor. Love you, guys!
Your videos are always a treat to watch. Your soothing voice and the stunning scenery, along with the gentle music, create a perfect harmony. They help me relax and sleep well at night
Wow, thank you! ♡
The babies taking their afternoon nap outside is hilarious and amazing at the same time. How wonderful to live within such a safe environment. 😊
I love your summer videos, but the autumn into polar night videos are like soul fooood. I love them. I get a bit of seasonal depression and incorporating your videos into my self care in the winter makes it so much nicer!!! ❤🎉
My day started a little rough, but it brightened as soon as I heard your voice! I thought ,"Geez, I really like her, I wish we could be friends."Cecilia you are such a warm , interesting and funny person. I really love your videos, you make this tropical beach lover want to explore the artic. You help me to find the beautiful in everyday. Keep being you, and thank you for sharing! 💛
Awww thank you! I hope you have a better day! Lots of love from us here! 🧡
“They will check your papers……..your blah blah.” 😆
I love Grim. He looks so content in his world there.
2:22: in the gentlest way possible, I demand a footage focused on Grimm doing THAT.
I love the polar night season! I started to watch your videos at this time of the year in 2021. Coming to my 3rd Christmas with you guys, you always crack me up on that livestream, Cecilia.
I'm so happy to hear that! 🧡 haha I look forward to another Christmas mess on youtube 😂
@@CeciliaBlomdahlYes I as well, a great appreciation of another part of our great big world with the most wonderful couple... yes, yes Grimmmm we love you too. For all your happy viewers, keep up the amazing sharing of such a spy place. ❤❤❤
Thank you, Cecelia, for showing Svalbard. I found your channel a couple of months ago and have been enjoying it immensely. My family and I have been struggling with winter the last few years and watching your videos is giving me ideas on how we can appreciate the dark and snowy months again. Hope you, Christoffer, and Grim have an amazing day.
I don't comment often but I watch religiously. Knowing there was going to be a video from you got me out of bed this morning. Thanks to you, Christoffer, and Grim ❤
Thank you sooo much for being here! 🧡🫶🏻☀️
I just love your voice, Cecilia. So comforting,... I could listen to you speak all day long. You ever thought about doing audio books? Ha ha. Cheers....
Food Festival looked great and not expensive at all given the prices of food these days. Look forward to seeing more town activities. Have a great weeks!
Loved the concept of small portions with small prices. I've seen festivals where you make a blind choice on one vendor.
I need to be there. Away from this mad world. Than you again for taking me away for a bit. I really do find your videos calming.
That was fun. Christoffer is getting so much more comfortable in front now, such a co-host 😊 I'm from Calgary, Canada, so it won't be long until I'm seeing the same weather ❤ you look out the window, I go to Banff, check it out, I'm sure you would love the views, and know why I love your home too. Roll on polar nights with all the cozy vibes 😊
I noticed how comfortable Cristoffer is too!
"Gjetost" is what we called brown cheese when I stayed with relatives in Trondheim, Norway. I was not a fan of it on its own, as I just don't prefer goat cheese or milk. However, I would definitely eat the heart shaped Scandinavian waffles with Ski Queen, sour cream, and jam! I would eat everything you tasted, and might pick up some Ski Queen in Minneapolis, next time my relatives ask me to bring them some specialty Norske meat. (I was eating pickled herring with crackers and Lingonberries in yogurt just today!)
Ok, Grim with his proper glasses and proper flannel....can you say SUPER ADORABLE?!?!?!?
It' so interesting to see the word "smak" in a different language, because in polish it also means taste!
@gabrielaturemka, hello 👋 from Poland 🇵🇱 and my channel 😊 and countryside 🏡!
In Dutch "smak" describes a sound you make with your lips and "smakken" (which is the verb of "smak") means clapping the lips or tongue when eating and drinking!
I just love watching your videos, your so lucky living in such a magical place. Feels a million miles away from the troubles of the world, there seems to be an amazing feeling of peacefulness. Grim is awesome 😊 . ❤😊 xx
It's not gloomy! Its simply divine! Here in Australia, we are 1 month into spring, so lots of windy days that are cool but the sun sure is hot when the wind isn't around. Thanks for the tip on the cheapest time of year to come to Svalbard. It's definitely on my bucketlist.
Mine too. Love her videos
Australia is on my bucket list. Amazing how it is spring down under.
Stark-Christoffer cracks me up 🤣🤣
Really liked your extra goofy vibe thus video 'you're not in a bad mood. You're in a good mood. So, think about that for a minute' 😆. I'm gonna say that to my husband when he's cranky.
Your home is so beautiful in such a unique way. Not the life for everyone, but surely the life for you and Chris ❤
I LOVE the Babbel add with Grim typing. That is sooooo cute!
I stayed up til midnight in Australia waiting for your new video! Beautiful as always. I can't get Svalbard out of my mind. Thank you Cecilia for telling us about the Ski Queen cheese, I will order some.
"Sarma" is a traditional food in my home country, Romania (I guess in all Eastern Europe &Turkey). With every video I watch on your channel I am one step closer to buying a plane ticket to Svalvard 😂❤
I'm so glad i found this channel. I live in southern Italy, where the weather is completely different, rarely too cold and very often too hot. It snows maybe once every 10 or 15 years and it barely even sticks. I enjoy Svalbard crispiness vicariously through your videos. I just LOVE them, and I can't wait for polar night to start! Please make LOTS of polar night videos!
Cecilia thank you for helping me each Fall and Winter see the dark days with so much more wonder and comfort. Living in Northern Illinois we are entering shorter days and frost at night. I have decorated my home with more candles and string lights because of you! ❤
I love your channel
It is very original true and shows us your life
Just got back from Longyearbyen. By far the most magical trip of my life. Thank you for your videos!
SOOO glad you enjoy it! 😍🫶🏻
Yay…Polar night is on it’s way! Your attitude and embrace of winter & P.N. has helped me to embrace the five months of subzero cold & darkness at 45°N 93°W. Thanks, Cecilla, Christopher & Grim(the wonder pupper)✌🏼
So ur in Minneapolis I doubt you get sub zero temperatures there
@tshelby5212 I live in the twin cities metro, and I can assure you it gets subzero about a month out of the year. A year or two ago, it was -30 Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -60 for a few days.
@@tshelby5212 You’re incorrect! We have subzero (f) temps most of January and February. I’ve lived here my entire life. How long have you lived here?
@@firstlovemusicmn I’m sure he’s never even visited Minneapolis!!😂
Scariest part is when ice/frost gets build up in the windows inside the house during sub-zero temps! michigander here 😂
Christoffer at 2:35 "Very stark. I don't know what it means, but it looks very stark." I almost fell out of my chair laughing! 🤣
I bought your cookbook last week and everything looks so unique and yummy. I still have to make a recipe.
Christoffer should have his own food stall with all his amazing recipes 🤩
Christopher is such a handsome man as well as an amazing cook. I'm so happy you both are together.
♡♡♡
So nice to see what you were doing on Friday afternoon in Longyearbyen - and yes, how cute was Grimm with his glasses on!!! I can sense your excitement at moving into the winter season Cecilia and I completely get that! Although not such a dramatic change in the UK - we are now moving into autumn so getting the jumpers ready and stockpiling the firewood!
What a cool food festival. I don’t think $60 pp is that much ( especially if you ever go out to dinner in a big city). Love your puppy! He’s so chill❤
Hahahah when she tells Grim to think about his actions. Had me laughing so hard.
Visiting Svalbard is definitely a must for me. This time last year, I was on a ship touring the Antarctic and landed in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. I'm eager to see Longyearbyen so that I can add the northernmost city in the world to my bucket list.
“Cooking with Christoffer” at the Food Festival 2024??? 👍🏽💥💨 😁
I have found brown cheese on Amazon and they deliver to me here in Peterhead 34 miles north of Aberdeen Scotland... oh happy day xxx
My favorite part of every weekend is a new video from you. Thank you for sharing your amazing life with us. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Svalbard is so beautiful! Always love your drone footage!
Still beautiful!!! I would love to stay in Svalbard for at least a year just to experience all the seasons.
I was waiting for Cecilia ❤❤❤❤
Same
I'm always surprised at how fast Cecilia's videos go by. Great scenery, great content.
Whenever I am watching your videos,this is what you call "Bring your own sunshine wherever you".I wanna experience life there in Svalbard but I am not sure how long could I live there.I
Seeing you guys so close to that drop off, especially Grimm walking near it continually freaks me out.
If all your ads were that cute no one would skip ahead!
I only visited Longyearbyen for 3 days back in April, but I absolutely loved it...I so want to go back one day.
I’m so jealous, they way you eat so much and look so fabulous!
Hi Cecilia.. I love watching your videos.. I wait the entire week for it.. the glaciers n everything gives some kind of inner peace.. plz provide us more videos in between the week
Grim in glasses is too adorable!!! I love your videos. It's so interesting to learn more about your polar small town
Oh I think October would be the best time to visit. Love the transition into winter here as well.
I have visited Svalbard twice for photography trips. I was absolutely enchanted by the village and atmosphere. I hung out in a cafe/ yarn shop, a coffee shop, and loved the general store, mall area. Everyone was welcoming and kind. Watching your videos makes me want to return for a longer stay. I love your posts!
I love how Cecilia can transfer that warm fuzzy, arctic feeling through her videography and ediiting. I wish to feel that arctic feeling soon!
Wow Patti Smith played their. You so lucky
Cecilia, I happened upon your channel and I totally LOVE it! Thank you Cecilia, Christoffer and Grim for sharing your lives with us! You live in such a unique and beautiful place on earth!!!!❤
Love your videos!!! Look forward to them each week. I don’t mind that the weather is gloomy. I live in Michigan. The weather is gloomy all winter here in Michigan. We measure how much we see the sun for months in minutes!!! Today is a beautiful fall day and the sun is shining but it will not stay like that. November will come soon enough and so will the gray days. Cannot wait for the Polar nights videos. I have been with you since your channel was very small and I love Polar nights!!!❤❤❤
Grim in glasses is the best!
LOL.. love Grimms paws typing on the keyboard
I sure do like that Grimm. He's adorable.
One of the definitions of the word stark is barren and desolate so....spot on Cecelia.
Hi Cecelia, I have been to Svalbard in the summer, but after watching your channel, I just booked a cruise to Svalbard in late October 2024. I want to experience the polar night you showed us. Thank you again for all of your videos.
Hello from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦.
I found your channel a few months ago and I fell in love ❤️. Fantastic video today. Thank you so much for sharing. Take care.
Cecilia + Christoffer = Couple goals! Seriously the perfect balance for each other!
I remember it was the beginning of Polar Night 2022 when I started following this channel. So lovely to have come around full circle on Svalbard, and so eager to go around again 😌
Loved it as always. Thankyou 🎉🎉🎉
Hi Cecilia, I just came across your channel.and am greatly enjoying it. I'd hoped to do a Northern Lights trip 10 years ago but was prevented by urgent back surgery. Svalbard was not on the itinerary as the trip was in December. I didn't realise that it would have been polar night so all dark. The colours of your vids are amazing. Thanks for sharing your life with Christoffer & Grim with us. I don't know whether I'll ever make it to Norway now due to mobility issues so this is great. Thanks for mentioning the brown goats cheese. I was introduced to it as a child in Singapore by Norwegian neighbours and just loved it. We're about to go into a long hot Aussie summer here while you're wearing your winter woolies etc.
As a lover of winter and snow, I look forward to Polar nights!
Literally love your videos and you!
The drone footage of the mountains with the buildings below looks like a negative image. The red roof of one building helps to orient that it isn't. I think I have been looking at too many negatives lately to notice this. Beautiful as always.
Glorious ❣ Thank you ❣
Can not wait!❄️ btw loved the cookbook!
Enjoyed this video. Cecilia you were in rare form in this video, lol but loved it. You show just how much you love your village when most would shy from it or possibly be less enthusiastic due to the polar nights and no sunshine. I would never think about going to a place where there is this much snow. However, you just changed my mind. The tranquility of Svalbard seems so relaxing. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. Maybe someday my husband and I will visit with our husky in your area.
Love it!
Fabulous! Thank you! 💐💃🥰
Thanks for sharing these beautiful sceneries; from São Paulo, Brasil. It's s a rainy sunday' s morning. Good day for you guys.
I love to watch your videos, they are so calming
I love your videos so much, they're so calming and I always feel like I've travelled to Svalbard when I watch!
This was such a great video!! I enjoyed every second of it!!❤❤❤❤
The video was quite lovely, Cecilia. Thank you, as always ❤
fabulous!
Short, but sweet and fun. The glimpse into village festival life & culture was a real treat (& it appears - so was the food!). I already can't wait for the next one with its winter preparations for the approaching season. You & your little family & circle of friends have truly brought Svalbard to life in a way which manages to invite the viewer into sharing its unique set of delights and challenges. And your talent both in front of & behind the camera (along with your superb narrative skills) are outstanding & just continue to get better & better.
I'm always looking forward to your videos!! Thank you for creating beautiful content!
Love you & all that you share 😊
That you for sharing Cecelia❤❤
A great way to start my day. ❤
Hello Cecilia! Have a wonderful week ahead! Thank you for the video, made my work day better 💙
Hi Cecilia and Christopher! Loved this video ❤️❤️
Lovely as always.
Wonderful video as always 💕
Grim made my day!! Love all the content lately. Stay safe lady!😊
I enjoy your videos so much.
So absolutely beautiful! 💚
Beautiful!
