Life at the cottage- a slow living, silent vlog
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- I really enjoying being able to learn to do things the "old-fashioned" way, as so today, I thought I'd share the process of making butter :). I made a quick sandwich with honeycomb and lavender to take with me for a quiet afternoon at the river.
Butter-making process:
1. Add room-temperature cream to the butter churner
2. Churn until the solid butter separates from a white liquid (buttermilk)
3. Strain and squeeze as much of the liquid from the butter as possible
4. Rinse the butter thoroughly in clean water (you may need to replace the water a few times) (If the butter is too soft, you can add a few blocks of ice to the water which will help harden the butter and make it easier to manipulate)
5. Add salt/herbs of your choosing, mixing well with butter paddles
Scripture: Matthew 17:20
I hope you enjoy!

This is the life I want after high school. I love this kind of video, that’s why I subscribe 💗 Upload more videos, we love to see more relaxing, calming and peaceful video🍃
The way you enjoy little things in your life always inspire me to do so. The life you live by nature is the best of all. How privileged and wonderful your cottage life is, simple and adorable. Always looking forward to the next. Much love💕 "There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more” -Lord Byron🐝🍃
This is beautiful! thank you. it’s definitely a privilege to be able to spend time at the cottage 😊
Lovely! ❤
Your hand lettering is beautiful. 💕 I love the simple picnic with your Bible. So refreshing!
Thank you! I'm so happy to hear you found it refreshing!
The faith the size of a mustard seed...such a beautiful & powerful verse!! Such a lovely video. From you cutting that yummy looking bread & fresh churning the butter to seeing & hearing that clear running stream- just very relaxing & pleasant. ❤️
I'm so glad you enjoyed everything! I really enjoy creating them, so always glad when someone else can get pleasure out of the videos too!

Gosh how lovely it would be to be by that water stream, open up my Bible and listen to God's voice
It is a wonderful spot I must say!
This has been pure joy! I needed to hear this music and relish the calm that you are sharing here. Our world is so dark right now and this brought me great bliss…thank you so very much!
I'm so happy you enjoyed it :)
Your videos are such a comfort, and make me want to travel SA
I’m so happy to hear that! SA is definitely worth a visit in my very biased opinion! 😉
First and foremost, I never seen butter and bread look so good 😄 but then again, your touch makes the simple things look exquisite. Really loved this video, again, like I've loved the previous ones too.
Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you! 😄 It was good bread and butter! Thanks for the kind words!

I sometimes enter into deep Depression and to get out of it, I watch these videos to remember that not everything in this world is negative and we need to accept our situation and keep on moving ahead in our lives. Thank you, Your Videos are really Calming .
I was so sorry to read about your sadness; but so glad that these videos can help even just a little 🤍 That means so much.

That was once again a beautiful, calm video from you! 🤗 I also love to make my own butter and the combination with freshly baked bread is just unbeatable - unless you add honeycomb 😍 that looked so delicious! I always love it when you take us on a walk with you, the nature at your home is wonderful! 🌳❤️
That’s very true! Nothing quite like freshly baked bread and butter! I’m happy you are enjoying the nature walks- it is a very special corner of the world 😊

your vids never disappoint!
That’s wonderful to hear! thank you!
🙏🍀
Very nice to live in such forest& I like fresh bread with butter and honey😊❤
It is a very special place :) So glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm 70 and grew up on an isolated farm in NZ. We had no electricity, relying on tilly lamps, wood burning stove and kerosene fridge. I remember butter being made by our cowman-Gardner and mum doing the washing on a washboard after it had been boiled in woodfired copper. When we got a huge diesel generator she got an agitator washing machine and the house was wired for lighting. We thought we were very modern. Mum had three of us children plus dad and the farm staff to cook for so she was never able to do anything as serenely as this utube shows.
Wow! That's just amazing- it sounds like your mom was really a hard worker. This video does definitely try and focus on the "beautiful, ideal, and peaceful" way of looking at things😊 , but I can imagine that not having the option of going out to quickly buy butter when you really don't feel like churning it, must have made it a real chore and not serene at all!!😄
Lovely!
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it!
Beautiful! Loved your lovely picnic by the creek. Such a calm and beautiful place. And of course, your doggie is adorable.
Thank you so much! I also find it such a peaceful place. 😊😊
@@walkinginbetween you’re welcome! Enjoy. 🌸
Wow so lovely! 🥰
Thank you! 🤗
omg that verse really spoke to me - in your bible - you have no idea xxxxxxxxxxxx
I'm so happy to hear that!
❤
omo so relaxing vlog, country life is really good 💖
Thank you! I'm so happy you found it relaxing!
I loved this video, Melissa. I would enjoy making butter like you did.
Thank you so much! I’m sure you would! I never realised before how easy it was to make 😊
Beautiful 🌿
Thank you! 😊 So glad you liked it!
I think my new favourite word is ‘spruit’! It’s so phonetically pleasing 😊
😊 You’re right! It’s a really good one!
This video left me with no words. What a wonderful life! I really want to live like this one day. I'm happy that you're also a Christian since you can rarely find someone who is Christian on the internet. Also, thank you for the calmness and beauty you show here. Lately, I've been painstakingly feeling the passing of time, and this video made me feel grounded. The modern world is moving too fast with all the new technology, careers, and productivity, and you brought calm and meaningfulness into my life. Thank you!
Your comment really made me smile! Thank you!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍😍😍😍
My wish when i'm old enough to be independent is to find my peace, which i longed for so long.. I want to be more close to nature and be more grateful for the beautiful things that surrounds me..
There is definitely something to be said for being surrounded by nature! Definitely a good goal to focus on the beauty and simple pleasures around you 😊💜💜
Amei a sua arrumação vai com Jesus aproveite descanse
Thank you! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for your videos This is so beautiful serene love you I would like to know where are you from which place every thing you showed is what I dreamt of
Thank you! I'm so happy you are enjoying the videos and finding them serene :) I live in South Africa :)
Your video is so beautiful... Where did you buy your wooden spoon
Thank you! I wish I could remember, but I got it so long ago I can't remember where it came from!
I want to live like this but where do you find land like this? Did you build the cottage yourself? How do you find land that is safe from hunters?
The cottage was build many years ago by my great great uncle :) It's not totally secluded so there are people around, and it's not a big hunting area, so I feel very safe :)
Another beautiful video hehe yaay! Also I was wondering if you had any social media platforms that relate to this account? It’s totally fine if you don’t and prefer to keep things private 💕☺️
Thank you so much! I haven't actually set up any other social media accounts- maybe I'll have to do that :)
One side of me want this life another side want a rich ceo life
How does it feel to live my dream? 😭
How sweet, sweet and sweet was this video!!! Can I ask you I you have links to your beautiful apron and clothing?
My girls would love trying making butter! We are so blessed we live very close to an organic milk farm... this would make for a perfect homeschooling project! Thanks for the idea! Many blessings to you and yours!💝
Thank you for the kind words! I think but the r making would be a great activity for kids!! So easy and satisfying 😊 The dress is from a small company in South Africa, called Dear Dawn; but I made the apron 😊😊
大自然是心靈的治療師
This is such a true statement- it definitely always helps me 🌳🌳
Isn't that risky drinking from a river?
I definitely wouldn't do it in most places; but it's safe to do so in this area :)
🐕🦺 😍😍😍
Thank you!
Dislike for the background music…
