    Here in my region of the US (southeast) you really can’t avoid politics. It’s in everything anywhere you go. I’ve become a literal hermit over the past two years simply to avoid constant conflict. That’s one reason I enjoy your channel, though; I love the idea of a natural spiritual oasis. It’s inspired me to start looking for a little acre somewhere I can plant and teach my daughter to tend for when I’m gone.

      I'm in MT and it's the same. I too refuse to talk about politics with anyone. I have created a haven for myself and I watch this channel for the serenity.

    Goodness...Another great surprise today! I just enjoy you and Bealtaine so much, your videos have become my little go to "happy place." When I see a new video posted, everything comes to an abrupt halt and I sit down and go to my "happy place" for about 10 min. or so and it is always full of nature, whimsy and wise words from a beautiful soul. I am so thankful for you and that you share or yourself and your space. Thank you Colette and I hope you have the best evening. Edited to add... I just ordered A Cottage and Three Acres. I am so excited!! 🤗

    Wow, I was there last week (Museum of Country Life) when on holiday in West of Ireland. Fantastic resource right enough and free. And I bought another book by Jo Kerrigan whilst I was over (in Westport)! You look great Colette. Really enjoy your face to camera chats. All best, Kate xx

    You look lovely. I love green and black together, as it reminds me of a wet forest. Two quotes came to mind as I watched this: "Be the change you want to see" and "Be grateful for what you have, and more will come". Blessing to you, too! 👍😎🇨🇦📷🌲🦋🌾🐝⚘

    So nice to see you again Colette. Glad you had a fun day out with family. You look pretty. I just love your alpaca shawl. So very cozy. And yes, no politics. That is part of what makes your channel a wonderful restful retreat for me, and of course your sweetness. I think we are the same age and that is kind of nice. The gardens look so healthy and peaceful. You have done a magnificent job planting over the years. I am sure the earth and all the little creatures that inhabit your acres are quite grateful. Hope the black birds come. Take care until next time. Thank you.

    I so enjoy your videos and doing a bit of a catchup on some I missed due to my own life needing a bit of attention, and dealing with the covid twice in August and then burying my Mom in September. Life is good though. Thanks for your uplifting presence in my humble life😇

    Hi Crazy Woman from West of Ireland, who speaks complete sense by the way, I agreee with your point about politics, there is a time and place. Anyway more importantly the house is looking amazing both indoors and out. You have a wnderful eye for detail and have proven that such beauty and comfort can be acheived with limited finances. The Garden is a credit to you and Mother Earth. My Besty Kim has a small back Garden in the outskirts of Glasgow beside a canal and she has been very much intriqued by your project. I payed her a visit recently and although a small area she has visits from lots of different wildlife. This has been an incredible benefit to her mentally. Your project is helping so many people. Thank You Colette.

    I just realized that I had clicked on the white bell for notifications and changed that to the black bell for UA-cam to show me all your videos and immediately I've got a long queue of videos to watch! Your videos are a treat to watch especially as your photographs were among the first (more that ten years ago!) that shaped my dream of rural living. I live in a rural town attached to a city in India and my dream is to move further out into a nearby village, although I'm nearing my sixtieth and I do wonder if living alone and at a fair distance away from good hospitals would be a good idea...

    I love the crazy woman in Ireland that talks to her camera, so good to see you again. I learned from a Lisa Schraeder podcast a few weeks ago that the maiden, mother, crone is one season short, somebody removed a whole season of human experience, maiden, mother, queen and crone, where did the queen go, the wonderful creative autumn of female power, the king went down the drain with her so I suppose it was that important to hide that truth. Everything tingled back to place in my life as I had felt very out of place in both mother and crone season, and I think everyone needs to feel for themself what part they are in, I do not think it follows age. Being in my glorious autumn I wildly enjoy you and all that you share with the world, and I am ever so grateful, love from Sunniva

    Love your blouse. That book looks like a good read. You and Bealtaine Cottage have spent 18 years growing. That's more than can be said for many politicians and business bigwigs. Not mentioning names. He doesn't know his arse from his elbow is a very apt observation. Pleased to see you two days in a row.

    How wonderful to see you on camera! I must say you look radiantly beautiful! You perfectly reflect the beauty of your environment. Your videos are always a balm to my fatigued spirit. I love your generosity in making these videos that lift the spirit and foster the wealth and goodness of nature. The wonderful blue color of the cottage is such a gorgeous backdrop for the vibrancy of Mother Earth! May all the rewards and blessings of your work surround you as you generously give of yourself…

    Lovely to see you again Colette, in front of the camera. Your cottage is looking so happy, after you painted it all, and the plants look wonderful against the coloured walls you chose. Like you, we too have had rain at last in Devon, England. We had a big downpour of rain in the night, which did everything a lot of good. So calming to be at Bealtaine again, a breath of fresh air. Thank you Colette for a lovely vid. xxx

    I looked up your book and found it on Google. Looks to be very interesting. Read about the rowan, hawthorn, and apple trees as being beneficial to plant around your house. I will have to remember that. Your blouse and wrap look quite pretty on you. Love the pattern of the trees. I will try to buy your book as my present to myself. 😀😃

    Colette, so good to see you in front of the camera for a change, and you do look quite lovely, the green suits you well. Your channel is such a joy for me . My old boy Jack ( my gorgeous terrier) is coming to the end of his life, and I'm trying to prepare myself, but failing massively. Just can't imagine life without him, he's seen me through so much these past few years, the hardest losing my amazing mum suddenly. What a price we pay for loving our dogs eh?.... he's my boy.
    On a lighter note, the "Arse from your Elbow" saying is very popular here in Yorkshire, I often shout it to someone on the telly, yes usually a politician 🤬
    Been catching up on your video's as I'm up most of the night with Jack, hes most restless then. Thank you so much for the company 🌻💞 Karen (& Jack 🐾) xxx

    Hi Colette! You're looking refreshed and lovely. Our elders certainly can have the funniest sayings. I won't put some of my dad's here, but I chuckle heartily when I think of one. I think gratitude will be the saving force of our beautiful earth and I am grateful every day for her and the opportunity to nurture and learn from her. Today is oldest DS's birthday and when asked if he'd like a gift of some sort, he declined. He, like his dad and me, just enjoys life and being together. This is wealth. Blessings on your day and week! xoxo
