Hello, I’m new to your channel and I must tell you how much peace, tranquility and balance your videos bring to me. Ireland has been one of my most treasured places I have visited but watching your videos makes me realize I didn’t fully see the beauty of Ireland while riding buses to tourist destinations, walking in Dublin ect. My dream now is to rent a small cottage and just experience the real Ireland, her lands and her peoples! Wishing you all the best! 🙏✌️💙
Aw thanks so much for your kind words! Yes, there's so much more to Ireland than the 'touristy' spots, you really need to experience the quiet and wild Ireland, that has in my opinion, so much more to offer. Renting a little cottage would be a wonderful idea! Hope your dream comes true 🙏💞🧚
Hey there, what a joy to watch this video. A shower of beauty, peace and a gentle rhythm that soothes the soul of this introvert 😁 A nod to the garden of Eden. May those who watch give themselves permission to create their own rhythm in harmony with their unique circumstances ❣
Here in Pennsylvania, it is the dreaded Black Fly! They are small, flimsy, and you can't even feel them land on you and take a bite. It's only afterwards when the pain, swelling and itching start that you know one (or more) has gotten you! I feel your pain! I adore how your buddies stroll along with you. One would think they are puppies. Some people don't understand how loving and companionable cats are. You've obviously been "chosen", as they're very particular about people. 😘Thank you, once again, for a beautiful start to my day. It was so relaxing and refreshing to "walk" along with you in your beautiful country. Wishing you a fabulous Sunday and week ahead. Diane
Oh they sound equally as bad-I guess every country has its dreaded summer fly! Ha, yes I've certainly become the 'chosen one' for all the cats in the locality! But they're such wonderful companions on my walks, and make them all the more enjoyable 🤗 🙏💞🧚
I was born and have lived all my life in São Paulo, Brazil. And for years now in an apartment so you can imagine the pleasure it is for me to watch your lovely vídeos as I am a lover of Nature and cats!!!
I look forward to your enchanting videos and dream of spending my days making art and rambling through your beautiful countryside. So blessed. With kindness, Laura
I am new to your channel too, and I love your beautiful cats. I also adore those geese you met. I came to Ireland when I was very young, and loved it, we were on a riding holiday. I am now 66 years young, so it was a long time ago. I now live in West Devon, which is a beautiful place too. I really love that you let natures sounds fill us with peace, then add some beautiful, gentle music, now and again, just perfect. Thank you for this lovely video, and I have subscribed to your channel now. Blessings from West Devon, England, and Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound. xxx
I love love love your channel. Thanks for sharing your beautiful surroundings with us. It is so soothing and makes me feel so much joy. A definite serotonin boost to my day. Looking forward to your next looking glass collection release.
I cried when I watched your stroll at the stream and I don’t know why. So beautiful . I absolutely love your video’s you are an artist with the camera and your stories are soothing. Thank you so much at a glimpse into your 🌎
Such peace and tranquility in todays video. Loved the rain and the gentle lapping of water over the rocky bed, the birds are beautiful to hear. I always enjoy seeing the cows. You live in such a lovely place Your jewelry is so lovely. Beautiful ending to the day. I had a cat named Lady Guinevere that used to go on walks with me too. Have a enjoyable weekend. Thank you for sharing your day. ❤❤❤
Absolutely lovely and relaxing ❣️I can’t get over how the fur babies follow you.🙂 What a start to my day❣️I’m so sorry about the horsefly bites. I wish I could give you helpful advice.😯 You really do a nice job with your videos. Thank you for bringing joy to my day. May you have a blessed day. 💚
We always enjoy the peaceful music and the beauty of your days ... love the ladies walking to their parlour passing by your studio ... we enjoy how creative you are with your mini gardens tucked under glass ... gorgeous!! Thank you once again for the journey !!
Loved every second of this, thank you dear! I use a spray of water and rosemary, lavender, tea tree, and lemon to keep the flies and mosquitos away here in lovely Wisconsin. I have seen these insects fly right around me and go straight at those not wearing this mix. When my kids were smaller they loved to swim and as soon as we got out of the pool I would spray them and it kept the bugs away better than any OFF spray or the like. Hope this helps sweet one. Take care and again, thank you for showing us your magical world.
Your content contains pure living art and poetry. It's medicine for someone like me who has a big busy life. Much thanks. You can try the weed/herb plantain for the bites. Crush it and rub it on the affected area. I usually use Neem-infused coconut oil as a bug repellent. Hope one of these tips helps. Keep well.
What a glorious world you live in! And then the horseflies arrive. I would not have guessed if you had not mentioned it. I was teary eyed from the beauty around you and even felt a pang of jealousy. Sorry they are horrible to you but thanks for keeping it real! I've never seen such clean cows! Amazing! Lovely, lovely video. 🥀🥀🥀
Aw thank you for your kind words! Yes, there is so much beauty but also there are downsides of course- the horseflies are just dreadful little things! The cows are so clean lately as they're getting washed every day with our warm summer rain! 🤗❤🦋🌸
Hello! Thank you so much for this wonderful trip to Ireland! I loved to spend the day with you ... feeling all the beauty and peace that beautiful Ireland brings to us! Yes, I enjoyed the sound of the water ... always brigs peace for our mind and soul, isn't it? Have a lovely week! Thanks again! 💚💚💚💚
Thank you for the peace I feel in my heart when I watch your videos. And thank you and Mama Josie for Pickles, wandering round. Peace to you and yours.
You videos are so magical, you have a gift to create that relaxing atmosphere and simplicity of the country life. Your videos are visual art for me. Greeting from Argentina.
I enjoyed every moment with you. Such a fairyland you live in. Indian summer is pathetic in plains. Winter is much to welcome. So soaking in bright cool summer with you. Thank you dear.
Love your videos - so soothing and relaxing💕! Regarding those horseflies, since you live on a farm, and you never appear on your videos, why not wear a bee keepers hat with netting for your head area, tops with long sleeves, & pants, especially when you go walking in the woods or when you go down to the bog lands, or even when you just want to enjoy the outdoors. Not the most fashionable, but it is worth a try if their bites affect you that much!🙏 Take care from a concerned Canadian viewer!🇨🇦
Thanks Catherine! They only seems to attack my legs, so I try to keep them as covered as possible while walking but they can bite through clothes- they are pure evil!😧 I've since made an EO spray and so far it's keeping them away from me 😅🙌 💕
Thank you for the joy you give to those of us who cannot live in your beautiful part of the world. Where I live on the west coast of Canada is similar in climate and vegetation......and the same biting insects. As a gardener and lover of the outdoors, I always use a product here called DEEP WOODS OFF by SC Johnson. No more bites, ever.
Good morning Gillian!! So....this is what an Irish summer looks like?! 😂The rain here has been relentless - from County Mayo to County Cork, we've had our fair share. It's been a bit depressing to be honest but we're still enjoying our time on the Emerald Isle🍀 I was watching a previous video of yours and saw Jessie. I wondered if she had passed but then here she is!! 😻As for the flies.....UGH! They are nasty little creatures, aren't they? There are quite a few essential oils that help repel them. You'll find recipes online and can make your own blend. As always, lots of love to you and the kitties💖
Aw I'm so sorry to hear that Erin- this July has just been terrible, I think it's rained nearly every day! Fingers crossed the sun will show up soon! Yes, Jessie is still going strong, but a lot slower these days, I'm still amazed she is still with us! I must check out a recipe for the EO, I am desperate at this stage 😂🙏 ✨❤😻
the peace and serenity that comes to me through this is wonderful..., pickle is a good little friend to have around. To sit in that garden each morning and gather thoughts would be terrific. ( I wonder if there are some long lost, old, herbal remedies, or repellants, to counteract the midge bights; surely, the ancients had some tricks up their sleeves with it. )
Bonjour from Quebec. My day started marvelously when I saw your vlog posted. I am going to try the baked oats. I"ve started my days with the overnight oats which I love. I have homemade cherry and strawberry jam that I use to place a dollop on top. So good. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful life you have Gillian. Your cows look sleek and healthy. I purchase Irish cheese here in the states and enjoy its superiority in taste and composition. I love to escape to peace and tranquility on your channel.
Hi! Fairly new subscriber. My husband and I love Ireland (he proposed at Bishopsquarter). Wanted to say thank you for all you do! Love your content, thoughts, visuals, kitty babies! Please never stop!💕💕💕
Thank you! So wonderful you visited a church…I loved the image of St. Faustina, and the beautiful statue of Our Blessed Mother! Your videos bring back wonderful memories of our two visits to Ireland with six of our eleven children. My husband said he would even consider living there, if not for our many grandchildren here in the U.S.A. 😊💕
Another well made, interesting video from a beautiful part of the world. My wife and I are gradually working through your videos and have enjoyed them all. Lovely to see your jewellery and your garden - I couldn’t help noticing that we have many of the same plants as you. We even get an occasional humming bird moth. Keep them coming - they are much appreciated! go raibh míle maith agat.
Aww Gillian you really have something special. The beginning, the end and everything in between this video was wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us. It brings me peace and comfort at the end of a long week. I especially loved the lakeside walk. Thank you again and I hope the pain of the ckeg bites doesn't last too long xx 💚🌳🐈🐄🦋🐞🥀
Lovely video! Thank you for sharing 😊 I live on 100 acres in the Canadian wilderness and we have lots of those dreaded horseflies and deerflies. I wear the "Dragonfly Wingman" clip on my hat which is a horse & deerfly deterrent. It works great. I think it's made in Canada. And I use Benadryl cream on my bites, it helps with the itch. Hope this helps! Looking forward to your next video!!!
Gorgeous scenery! For bugs, I use citronella essential oil from youngliving because it’s therapeutic grade. Mix with a bit of jojoba oil or any oil, and put a few drops on places the bugs will bite. They won’t come near you! After the bites, I use a tich of benzocaine to stop the itch and pain. I have a tiny bottle by prescription. I know there are also essential oils that will treat the discomfort of these bites, but I haven’t googled it yet. Youngliving also makes Lavaderm, which is for treating the pain and itch of sunburn. It has menthol in it. Yes, the bugs love me, too.😂
Ha, yes! It sounds like you have a lot of experience with treating bites! I'll certainly try out your methods, and fingers crossed they will finally leave me alone 😂❤
Soooo beautiful! Thank you!! Your “150” year old 🤣 kitty…precious! And the “boys” going for a walk with you. 💕 The video is stunning. I sometimes watch them a few times because they are so calming. As far as horseflies, I haven’t eaten sugar or wheat flour in 3 years. I don’t get bitten anymore by any bugs. 🤷♀️ So sorry it hurt. I think they are the same as when I grew up in Connecticut. At the beach there were huge horse flies. Their bite was so painful. Thank you again!! Love your videos! 💕
Thank you Gillian for this wonderful tour, for your new collection( I loved magical mushroom woodland) and especially for your way of seeing and feeling life! I have realized that your videos are so dear to me because there are no people or people's voices; nature is intuited purer and you can feel the intimacy with which you perceive it. I at least feel like I'm really there, because you see the same details as me. I wish you a rest of summer without bites!!! A citrus-based cologne would do you good! See you soon!
Aw thanks so much, that's so lovely to hear. I believe also that nature should do the talking and allow the viewer to drift away for a peaceful moment 🤗🙏💖🌺
@@LostForest I perceive that you achieve it in your videos in a natural way and that's because it's born from a pure feeling towards creation! Thanks again!
En fait, je vous aime tout simplement les chats, le jardin les paysages que vous filmez avec tant de finesses et de détails qu'il me faut toujours y revenir à plusieurs reprises, votre ouvrage d'une telle beauté, que je peux m'y perdre pendant des heures ! Ne prenez pas mal ce que je viens d'exprimer, c'est tellement évident, qu'il fallait que je l'exprime !🎶🎵🧚🤗🙏😻
Regarding horseflies as a deterrent they detest apple cider vinegar so spray that on your skin and hair. Many other things like lavender rosemary and anything with vinegar. Citronella can be sprayed in a sitting area as well. Good luck trying these! ☘️
Aaaah! The perfect way to begin a day, especially Sunday!!! I took an essential oil class during lockdown, to learn even more about these beautiful botanical oils; I find lavender oil sooths all bug bites, and I add arnica oil if the bite is really painful. 0:04 I searced around and found a recipe for human horsefly repellent! (Also found a recipe for the horses too, should you need it.) So...15-25 drops citronella essential oil (organic), in 1 ounce (29.5 ml) of organic witch hazel extract. Shake well in a spray bottle. Hope this does the trick...and Yes, absolutely trying the oats! Weather too hot to turn on an oven however. ❤
Aw so glad you enjoyed it Melody! Thanks so much for going to all that trouble of finding me a recipe- it's much appreciated! I'm going to make a bottle first thing in the morning and spray from top to toe! 😁❤✨
Such a perfect life! Would drive me bonkers. 😂 Of course only kidding, it’s an astonishingly beautiful home and land. New to your channel and feeling just a little envy from drought-ravaged California. What a lovely video-your editing skills are amazing and choice of music beautiful. Once upon a time I lived in the country and also took walks with my kitties. One would go only so far into the woods and then sit down and mew piteously. We’d leave him there and rendezvous on the way back. I guess into everyone’s life a dreaded cleg must fly. The only thing I could think if is smear yourself with mud-not terribly helpful. Thank you for a glimpse into paradise!
I continue to enjoy this channel very much - my ancestors left Co. Westmeath during the famine, and now after seeing your beautiful videos, I can understand why they chose to settle in Wisconsin, as they said it reminded them of that part of Ireland. 🥰 In any event, I have been completely wiped out by chiggers this year in the American Midwest. Insanely itchy! I have found applying ice directly to the bites (as often as needed) works better than creams. Good luck!
Thank you so much for your beautiful video. I adore your channel. I can sympathize with your horsefly situation. They can really spoil an outing! We were terrorized by them where I grew up in the Ontario woods. My Dad used to spray us with Deep Woods Off, but even that only helped minimally. I don't think there is much you can do to repel them. All my best wishes to you.😊❤
Hope this helps: While horse flies don't seem to like the smell of most essential oils, citronella oil is actually extremely effective at keeping them away. You can repel horse flies with citronella oil by spraying it on your yard or wearing it as a natural insect repellent.
Another lovely video…..thank you so much….try using lavender body soap and lotion….I have a terrible time with mosquitoes in the California summer…..the smell of lavender helps to keep them away .
Hello, I am new to your channel and love how your beautiful videos fill me with a sense of calm, but also motivate me to get back to my creative side. Thank you so very much for the inspiration! Also your cats make me smike, they are so sweet😊 Much love from Bavaria💕
Avon woodland fresh Skin so soft dry oil body spray is very good for deterring midges etc xxx 🏴 Your Irish ☘️ scenery is breathtaking I have visited Belfast and Dublin as far down as county Clare would so love to visit again 💕 I’m in the west coast of Scotland so not far away xxx
Lovely video thank you! Re the horse fly bites they are truly nasty! My sister and I suffer bad reactions to Mosquito bites my sister has started to wear a wooden beaded bracelet. Mainly an ankle bracelet in the summer which is soaked for a few minutes in insect repellent. Then let it dry before wearing. She swears by it but I’m not sure how healthy it is to have insect repellent against your skin but for a short time I’m sure it’s preferable to the bites! Have a lovely day! Xx
Thanks Susie! That's good to know, yes maybe I can swap the repellent for specific essential oils instead, hopefully that method might do the trick! 🙂🙏 ✨❤
Leider habe ich keine deutsche Übersetzung aber allein das Video hat mich glücklich gemacht, ich konnte fast den Duft des Gartens und der wunderschönen Blumen 🌷 🌺🍃riechen. Sie leben in einem Paradies🙏Ich liebe Katzen über alles 🙏🐈🐾💖soviel ich verstanden habe ist Jessie die Mama und es gibt 3 Kinder ? 🐈🐾🐈🐾🐈🐾Vielen Dank für die schönen Eindrücke 🙏Greetings from Germany 🙋♀️🇩🇪
I'm sorry I'm not sure how to add subtitles! I'll take a look into it and see what I can do. Yes, Jessie is mommy to Pickle, Pumpkin and Biddy, and was also mom to Miley (Biddy's twin) and James but they sadly have passed away 🙏🐈💖🌺
I love love your videos. So peaceful and calming!!! Try oils for the bug bites such as tea tree, lemon etc and mix with a carrier oil before you apply to your skin.
Another beautiful vlog!! 💚 Adore all the butterflies 🦋🌸💕 -- just rewatched one of your videos the other day featuring so many butterflies from a previous summer. So very sorry about the horseflies - I grew up in an area with so many of them - mosquitoes as well. It made being outdoors in the summer really unbearable so much of the time. Unfortunately never figured out anything that worked well to repel them so can relate to the misery of your bites. 😣 I used to use lemongrass essential oil (few drops added into a carrier oil or unscented lotion) as a repellent in another area I lived but there weren't as many bugs, so don't know how it would work to deter lots of them? I found it to be a good alternative to chemical bug spray though.
Thanks so much Sherri! Yes, I had even more butterflies last year as I had a lot of verbena in the garden, which they adore. Yes, I think EOs are the best way to go as they're more natural. I'll have to research which ones are best to warn off the evil clegs! ❤🦋🌸
Thank you for the enchanting video and also for the recipe ... I have the same problem with bits, I use "TeaTree" and eucalyptus oil, from Australia, very efficiente but they both have a very strong smell ...🥀🍀🐞
Hello, I’m new to your channel and I must tell you how much peace, tranquility and balance your videos bring to me.

You are such an artist in everything you do! I can’t tell what peace you bring to me!
Aw thanks so much Marie, that's so sweet of you! 🙏💞🧚
I love how the kitties enjoy following you and try to avoid the patches of water
They’re so cautious with their tiny steps, it’s just so cute to watch 🥰🐈⬛🐈🐈💕✨
Watching from South Africa. Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise. What a lovely life (and kitties) you have !
Aw so glad you enjoyed it!🥰💕✨☘️🐈

Bonjour from Quebec. My day started marvelously when I saw your vlog posted. I am going to try the baked oats. I"ve started my days with the overnight oats which I love. I have homemade cherry and strawberry jam that I use to place a dollop on top. So good. Thank you for sharing.
Aw that's so lovely to hear Linda! Enjoy the oats- your jam sounds delicious! 😊💚😻✨
What a beautiful life you have Gillian. Your cows look sleek and healthy. I purchase Irish cheese here in the states and enjoy its superiority in taste and composition. I love to escape to peace and tranquility on your channel.
Aw thanks so much for your kind words! Yes, our dairy is some of the best in the world- enjoy your cheese!🤗❤
A perfect way to start my Sunday morning with my five sweet kitties watching me make zucchini bread❤. Love your videos!
Aw thanks so much! Enjoy your zucchini bread 🙌☺️💕✨🐈🐈⬛
Hi! Fairly new subscriber. My husband and I love Ireland (he proposed at Bishopsquarter). Wanted to say thank you for all you do! Love your content, thoughts, visuals, kitty babies! Please never stop!💕💕💕
Aw thanks so much for your kind words Allison! ❤️🌺🦋💐
Beautiful nice great country thank youa lot regardings nice absolubly true God bless you
My lovely necklace just arrived and it is exquisite. I will cherish and the thought you put into the presentation. Thank-you so much
Aw that’s so lovely to hear! Thank you Cheryl 🥰💕✨🙏☘️
Thank you! So wonderful you visited a church…I loved the image of St. Faustina, and the beautiful statue of Our Blessed Mother! Your videos bring back wonderful memories of our two visits to Ireland with six of our eleven children. My husband said he would even consider living there, if not for our many grandchildren here in the U.S.A. 😊💕
Aw I’m so glad you enjoyed the video Theresa. We always pop into a church when we’re out and take a moment to reflect 🙏🥰✨🧚💕
Another well made, interesting video from a beautiful part of the world. My wife and I are gradually working through your videos and have enjoyed them all. Lovely to see your jewellery and your garden - I couldn’t help noticing that we have many of the same plants as you. We even get an occasional humming bird moth. Keep them coming - they are much appreciated! go raibh míle maith agat.
Thanks so much Brian for your kind words! so glad you're enjoying the videos 🙂🙏 ✨
Great places and beautiful nice thank you amaizing scharming
Aww Gillian you really have something special. The beginning, the end and everything in between this video was wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us. It brings me peace and comfort at the end of a long week. I especially loved the lakeside walk. Thank you again and I hope the pain of the ckeg bites doesn't last too long xx 💚🌳🐈🐄🦋🐞🥀
Aw thank you Jane for your sweet words! So glad you enjoyed it. Thankfully the bites aren’t as itchy now and I’m staying indoors for the moment 😅🙏✨💕☘️
Lovely video! Thank you for sharing 😊 I live on 100 acres in the Canadian wilderness and we have lots of those dreaded horseflies and deerflies. I wear the "Dragonfly Wingman" clip on my hat which is a horse & deerfly deterrent. It works great. I think it's made in Canada. And I use Benadryl cream on my bites, it helps with the itch. Hope this helps! Looking forward to your next video!!!
Thanks so much Noreen for the tip! You seem well prepared for the bugs!🙌😀💕✨☘️
I would love one of the new collection I will be looking out for them 🙂
Aw thanks so much, that's so lovely to hear! 🙂🙏 ✨❤
Gorgeous scenery! For bugs, I use citronella essential oil from youngliving because it’s therapeutic grade. Mix with a bit of jojoba oil or any oil, and put a few drops on places the bugs will bite. They won’t come near you! After the bites, I use a tich of benzocaine to stop the itch and pain. I have a tiny bottle by prescription. I know there are also essential oils that will treat the discomfort of these bites, but I haven’t googled it yet. Youngliving also makes Lavaderm, which is for treating the pain and itch of sunburn. It has menthol in it. Yes, the bugs love me, too.😂
Ha, yes! It sounds like you have a lot of experience with treating bites! I'll certainly try out your methods, and fingers crossed they will finally leave me alone 😂❤
Soooo beautiful! Thank you!! Your “150” year old 🤣 kitty…precious! And the “boys” going for a walk with you. 💕 The video is stunning. I sometimes watch them a few times because they are so calming. As far as horseflies, I haven’t eaten sugar or wheat flour in 3 years. I don’t get bitten anymore by any bugs. 🤷♀️
So sorry it hurt. I think they are the same as when I grew up in Connecticut. At the beach there were huge horse flies. Their bite was so painful.
Thank you again!! Love your videos! 💕
Aw so glad you enjoyed it Annie! Oh that’s interesting, I hadn’t even thought of that . I’ll try anything at this point now 😅🙏✨💕🧚
Magnifique ❤
Thanks so much! 🙂🙏 ✨❤
Thank you Gillian for this wonderful tour, for your new collection( I loved magical mushroom woodland) and especially for your way of seeing and feeling life!
I have realized that your videos are so dear to me because there are no people or people's voices; nature is intuited purer and you can feel the intimacy with which you perceive it. I at least feel like I'm really there, because you see the same details as me.
I wish you a rest of summer without bites!!!
A citrus-based cologne would do you good!
See you soon!
Aw thanks so much, that's so lovely to hear. I believe also that nature should do the talking and allow the viewer to drift away for a peaceful moment 🤗🙏💖🌺
@@LostForest I perceive that you achieve it in your videos in a natural way and that's because it's born from a pure feeling towards creation! Thanks again!
Les chats sont Toujours ensembles a ce faire des calins et vous précédent, c'est merveilleux ❤😊
They’re the sweetest little rascals 😅🐈✨💕
@@LostForest you make me laugh, i love your humour 💝 have you listen Schubert ?
Yes! I’ve been listening most days to a playlist on UA-cam- I find it so soothing and contemplative 🥰🎶✨🧚
En fait, je vous aime tout simplement les chats, le jardin les paysages que vous filmez avec tant de finesses et de détails qu'il me faut toujours y revenir à plusieurs reprises, votre ouvrage d'une telle beauté, que je peux m'y perdre pendant des heures !
Ne prenez pas mal ce que je viens d'exprimer, c'est tellement évident, qu'il fallait que je l'exprime !🎶🎵🧚🤗🙏😻
@@LostForest merci de m'avoir fait confiance!🙏🎵🎶🤗😺💐
Very sweet moments in time, from New Zealand viewer
So glad you enjoyed it Elizabeth! 🙂🙏 ✨❤
Wow thankyou for sharing. I do love the cows and your lovely boys how i miss mine so much. Sending you all the best from Scotland 💜🌻🪻🌳🐈⬛🐈🐄🐄
Thanks so much Yvonne, so glad you enjoyed it 💕😊☘️ ✨
I can see why Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle! Thank you for sharing such beauty.
Glad you enjoyed it🥰🧚✨💕☘️
For horsefly bites -> apply some apple vinegar (soak a small dressing with it) and plaster it on where the bite is.
Regarding horseflies as a deterrent they detest apple cider vinegar so spray that on your skin and hair. Many other things like lavender rosemary and anything with vinegar. Citronella can be sprayed in a sitting area as well. Good luck trying these! ☘️
Thanks Kathy for the tip! ✨
Thank you so much for sharing the link. I have it written down and I certainly will make it. It will be especially nice this winter
You're so welcome! Enjoy 🤗🙏💖🌺
Wow just wow.! What a wonderful beautiful relaxing way to start my Sunday. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Blessings from New Mexico USA
So glad you enjoyed it Judie! Yes, the recipe is linked in the text box 😊🙏💞🧚
a beautiful journey.
Glad you enjoyed it 🥰✨💐🙏
Aaaah! The perfect way to begin a day, especially Sunday!!!
I took an essential oil class during lockdown, to learn even more about these beautiful botanical oils; I find lavender oil sooths all bug bites, and I add arnica oil if the bite is really painful. 0:04
I searced around and found a recipe for human horsefly repellent! (Also found a recipe for the horses too, should you need it.)
So...15-25 drops citronella essential oil (organic), in 1 ounce (29.5 ml) of organic witch hazel extract. Shake well in a spray bottle.
Hope this does the trick...and Yes, absolutely trying the oats! Weather too hot to turn on an oven however. ❤
Aw so glad you enjoyed it Melody! Thanks so much for going to all that trouble of finding me a recipe- it's much appreciated! I'm going to make a bottle first thing in the morning and spray from top to toe! 😁❤✨
I really hope that it helps you! 😊
stunning beautiful peaceful and serene . . just subscribed
have a beautiful day ❤️🙋♀️💐🦋🌻🌺
Aw thanks so much! 🤗🙏💖🌺
❤Always an awesome video 😊 have a wonderful week 😊
Thanks so much! You too 🥰☘️💕✨🧚
❤❤❤ Thank you!
Such a pleasure 🥰
Glad you enjoyed it Deborah!🥰☘️🧚🙏✨
I thank you so very much for the beauty and peace to bring to my life 😊
So glad you enjoyed it Rita! 😊🙏💞🧚
Such a perfect life! Would drive me bonkers. 😂 Of course only kidding, it’s an astonishingly beautiful home and land. New to your channel and feeling just a little envy from drought-ravaged California. What a lovely video-your editing skills are amazing and choice of music beautiful. Once upon a time I lived in the country and also took walks with my kitties. One would go only so far into the woods and then sit down and mew piteously. We’d leave him there and rendezvous on the way back. I guess into everyone’s life a dreaded cleg must fly. The only thing I could think if is smear yourself with mud-not terribly helpful. Thank you for a glimpse into paradise!
Aw thanks so much for your kind words! Ha, yes it can’t be completely perfect with the dreaded horsefly 😅💕✨
So beautiful !!!
Aw thanks so much Jill!🧚💕🥰
I continue to enjoy this channel very much - my ancestors left Co. Westmeath during the famine, and now after seeing your beautiful videos, I can understand why they chose to settle in Wisconsin, as they said it reminded them of that part of Ireland. 🥰 In any event, I have been completely wiped out by chiggers this year in the American Midwest. Insanely itchy! I have found applying ice directly to the bites (as often as needed) works better than creams. Good luck!
Aw so glad you enjoyed it Ann! I must try the ice, thanks for the tip🥰🙏✨☘️
Oh my, Ireland is absolutely gorgeous and so is your home. I've just subscribed to you after watching this lovely video 😊
Aw thanks so much Lisa!☺️🧚✨🙏💕
Thank you so much for your beautiful video. I adore your channel. I can sympathize with your horsefly situation. They can really spoil an outing! We were terrorized by them where I grew up in the Ontario woods. My Dad used to spray us with Deep Woods Off, but even that only helped minimally. I don't think there is much you can do to repel them. All my best wishes to you.😊❤
Thanks so much Kat! I have so many recipes now to try and repel them, fingers crossed at least one works!😅🙏✨💕🤞
Hope this helps:
While horse flies don't seem to like the smell of most essential oils, citronella oil is actually extremely effective at keeping them away. You can repel horse flies with citronella oil by spraying it on your yard or wearing it as a natural insect repellent.
Thanks so much for the tip- I definitely have to get some citronella oil asap!🙌😅💕✨☘️
Another lovely video…..thank you so much….try using lavender body soap and lotion….I have a terrible time with mosquitoes in the California summer…..the smell of lavender helps to keep them away .
Thank you! Yes I must try using lavender , it’s one of my favourite scents anyway, and fingers crossed it works!🤞🤗💕☘️✨
Hi. I am new to your channel and I feel so relaxed and calm when watch your videos. Thank you💐
Aw that's so lovely to hear!🙏❤
Hello, I am new to your channel and love how your beautiful videos fill me with a sense of calm, but also motivate me to get back to my creative side. Thank you so very much for the inspiration! Also your cats make me smike, they are so sweet😊 Much love from Bavaria💕
Aw thanks so much, that's so lovely to hear! Enjoy your new creative adventure 😊🙏💞🧚
That was beautiful, Once again from me thank you
Aw so glad you enjoyed it Olga!🥰💕✨🙏☘️
Your studio is so cozy ❤ I love the details! That's what makes the difference 😊
Yes! They really do add character to the space 🥰✨☘️🙌
Magical video, such beauty ❤
Thanks so much!☘️🙏🧚💕
Avon woodland fresh Skin so soft dry oil body spray is very good for deterring midges etc xxx 🏴
Your Irish ☘️ scenery is breathtaking
I have visited Belfast and Dublin as far down as county Clare would so love to visit again 💕 I’m in the west coast of Scotland so not far away xxx
Thank you April! Oh that’s a good tip, I’ll certainly try it out! Greetings to you in Scotland🥰🧚🙏✨💕
Lovely video thank you! Re the horse fly bites they are truly nasty! My sister and I suffer bad reactions to Mosquito bites my sister has started to wear a wooden beaded bracelet. Mainly an ankle bracelet in the summer which is soaked for a few minutes in insect repellent. Then let it dry before wearing. She swears by it but I’m not sure how healthy it is to have insect repellent against your skin but for a short time I’m sure it’s preferable to the bites! Have a lovely day! Xx
Thanks Susie! That's good to know, yes maybe I can swap the repellent for specific essential oils instead, hopefully that method might do the trick! 🙂🙏 ✨❤
Such a soothing video...ahhhh. I want to try the baked oat recipe it looks delightful.
Glad you enjoyed it Becky! Yes, you should give them a try!🙏💞🧚
Maravilhoso! Não tinha tradução para o português mas as imagens são belíssimas
Leider habe ich keine deutsche Übersetzung aber allein das Video hat mich glücklich gemacht, ich konnte fast den Duft des Gartens und der wunderschönen Blumen 🌷 🌺🍃riechen. Sie leben in einem Paradies🙏Ich liebe Katzen über alles 🙏🐈🐾💖soviel ich verstanden habe ist Jessie die Mama und es gibt 3 Kinder ? 🐈🐾🐈🐾🐈🐾Vielen Dank für die schönen Eindrücke 🙏Greetings from Germany 🙋♀️🇩🇪
I'm sorry I'm not sure how to add subtitles! I'll take a look into it and see what I can do. Yes, Jessie is mommy to Pickle, Pumpkin and Biddy, and was also mom to Miley (Biddy's twin) and James but they sadly have passed away 🙏🐈💖🌺
Herzlichen ❤Dank für die Antwort und alles liebe besonders für die drei 🐈🐾🐈🐾🐈🐾💖💝💖😻
I love love your videos. So peaceful and calming!!! Try oils for the bug bites such as tea tree, lemon etc and mix with a carrier oil before you apply to your skin.
Thanks so much! I'll certainly give it a go 🤗🙏💖🌺
I am new to your channel too. Beautiful video!! I love the mix of sound nature and music ❤ and wish one day to visit your country.
Aw so glad you’re enjoying the channel Lorraine! 🥰🙏✨💕
Beautiful!
Thank you!🥰☘️💕✨
Another beautiful vlog!! 💚 Adore all the butterflies 🦋🌸💕 -- just rewatched one of your videos the other day featuring so many butterflies from a previous summer. So very sorry about the horseflies - I grew up in an area with so many of them - mosquitoes as well. It made being outdoors in the summer really unbearable so much of the time. Unfortunately never figured out anything that worked well to repel them so can relate to the misery of your bites. 😣 I used to use lemongrass essential oil (few drops added into a carrier oil or unscented lotion) as a repellent in another area I lived but there weren't as many bugs, so don't know how it would work to deter lots of them? I found it to be a good alternative to chemical bug spray though.
Thanks so much Sherri! Yes, I had even more butterflies last year as I had a lot of verbena in the garden, which they adore. Yes, I think EOs are the best way to go as they're more natural. I'll have to research which ones are best to warn off the evil clegs! ❤🦋🌸
Nice place..love to see ur vlog it's very relaxing❤
Thank you so much 🥰🧚🙏✨💕
Best vlog I've watched so far! ❤
Aw thanks so much!🥰✨🧚🙏
Dreamy 💚 many blessings dear one 🙏 oh and I’m going to try your baked oats recipe 😋
Aw thank you Tina! Enjoy the oats! 🙏 ❤
Thank you for the enchanting video and also for the recipe ... I have the same problem with bits, I use "TeaTree" and eucalyptus oil, from Australia, very efficiente but they both have a very strong smell ...🥀🍀🐞
Thank you Odette, that sounds like it should work and luckily I have both of those EOs- I must try it out! 🙏💞🧚
@@LostForest Please let me know if you find some relive! Its importante to use it as soon as you can after being stung...😹
Video molto rilassante.💚🌷
*Amazing place* 👍
Thanks so much 🙏✨🥰
