Colette I walked alot last year all the way to December !! It really helped me overcome my breast cancer recovery!! Cancer free now!! I was stage 4!! I did homeopathic therapy and tumors disappeared !! Started walking again until June then the weather was so humid I had to stop!! Now I've started again!! ❤ Thanks for sharing!! Carolyn
Walking is the cheapest and most profound benefit to achieving better health. It encompass the entire body's organs to work together in order to achieve its goals.
well done Carolyn , homeopathy rocks blessed be x
Good to hear, I had a small stroke on 1/1/2024, and now am starting a journey with cancer. Walking helps cope with fears of the unknown, lifting mood, physical health, weight, and appreciation of nature. So good you are well!

Sometimes I look at your woods and think it’s unbelievable that this came out of what was thought to be useless land all thanks to one woman respect to you Colette ❤
You planted a woodland ,what a wonderful project ! It will grow ,transform and do its own thing . Just magick !
Colette, I am pleased that you decided awhile ago to be on camera and not just behind it. It really is nice seeing you sharing your beautiful surroundings and art.
I love that just when you talked about opening up the door and kicking out the trolls, with a physical kick....the gusty wind picked up at just that moment for emphasis! Mother Earth agreed!
Same!! 🌬️🍃
Your voice is so soft and soothing. I'm 83, live in Santa Barbara, California, and have followed your channel for some years. I've been a vocal coach, piano teacher and have recorded a few albums of original songs and piano pieces which my daughter is helping me upload onto Spotify and other Internet platforms - one album is all about trees. Your videos are beautiful.
Thank you for the sound of leaf under foot and the vision of autumnal heaven, blessed be, Love from Norway
Amen sister! You’re 100% correct! Speak your mind because it is your right and we all need to be heard. What we say does matter.
Thank you for taking us along with you and patsy. I'm in a wheelchair so going through dense woodland is a rare beauty. I appreciate every second you take me out with you. ❤ Pam
Oh!! I'm 56 and have been thrifting clothes since I was a 14 year old punk rocker and 2nd hand was seen as bad. LOL!!!! I would be happy to have you send some clothes to me! What a wish! lol. I am sure the charity shops will be well pleased with your offerings. Always a pleasure spending time with you and Pats and the Land. Blessings be.
Oh yes me too, 63 trips around the Sun and have been buying preloved since I was about 13 ...love how no one else has the same LOL
Hi Colette, Thank you for taking us on a beautiful walk with Patsy around Bealtaine and along the lane, I really enjoyed this! Many blessings to you both ❤❤
I have to say I absolutely loved how the wind picked up right when you said you opened the door and kicked them out to the universe. Like the wind was blowing them away. Thank you for another wonderful video. 💚🌱
@@karab.8621 I didn't see your post and wrote virtually the same comment. It was a pretty cinematic moment!
It was just so perfect!
You live in absolute paradise Collette 😍

You have lovely clothes Colette, very much my type of clothes:)) I rarely buy new clothes , it would have to be very a special occasion , charity shops are my favourite place , they are filled with so many treasures and so affordable. Thank you for a lovely walk this Sunday, we are having a storm today in North West, so I am enjoying the walk in the sunshine with you and Patsy even more ☀️😍🍁🍄🟫🍁☀️😍
I love charity shops, and I get loads of amazing bargains almost every time I go in one.
And that wardrobe of yours... 🥰
Happy Birthday for your upcoming celebration, you look absolutely top notch for your age. Such a beautiful lady!

What a Sunday afternoon treat. Horticultural and wardrobe treasures… that delicate lace blouse is so special. Thank you for sharing Colette.
This channel is a haven and not a place for contrary souls. So glad that you are reinforcing your online boundaries.
❤ Always a pleasure xx
I loved the clothes and walk in the woodland. My cat likes to watch Patsy walk in the woods. Happy upcoming birthday!
Hello Colette and Patsy❤ I celebrated my 69th birthday this past April…I feel very blessed as well…it is a privilege that many haven’t experienced. I do consider myself a Crone…I practice the craft and have no characteristics of cronyism! I am a healer and light worker in the making as I learn more about my practice. You are definitely a wise woman and I have learned so much from you in the years of following your journey. Your vintage clothing collection is fabulous..that is one of my styles when I can thrift them and the Woodland is so amazing. So you and Patsy have a wonderful day and week. Much love, Blessed Be
Beautiful. Thankyou and blessings to you both. 🥰🇬🇧
I love how the wind picked up when you talked about booting out the negative comments. Always good to clear out that energy!
💞🙏♾️
What a beautiful woodland you’ve created! You are such a great inspiration!
I thought the very same thing... Mother Nature at work! I LOVE to do a wind cleanse when negativity tries to creep in! Blessed be! xx
It’s so lovely to see you! I love vintage and thrifted things because they are so well-made. Your videos are a balm to the noisy world❤️
Mother Earth Blessings Collete
merci Colette et Patsy 🐾 chaque jour une benediction 🕊️🤍🕊️🤍🕊️🤍
We've had the tail-end of your storm here in Bristol, this morning. So I re-watched your magical walk with Patsy on my manual treadmill! It's set permanently to walking uphill, your walk took me 17 minutes! Yet another way you inspire me to get healthier, Collette! ❤
Patsy is adorable. So glad for the two of you. My sister had a Jack Russell on their farm. What a pistol! I enjoy your garden/woodland walks and tours of your cottage. You are inspiring.
The best part for me was little Patsy 🥰 She’s so cute. And the Aran jumper, love anything Aran. Beautiful garden flowers and berries, Colette. Lovely walk, lovely video.
I love the sound of the water trickling along down the stream . I could sit for hours . Thanks for sharing . Very beautiful !
Lovely , lovely lovely Colette make us sooo happy ! Thanks .💋💋💋💋💋
Wonderful little walk.. I am constantly amazed how much the forest has grown 🌿
Thank you Colette. xx
Patsy is one lucky pup! What fun you two have on your walks through your enchanted garden woodlands! Thanks for taking us along.🙂
An oasis is what you have, Collette. Thank you for the walk into another world. Gratitude and Love. Blessings Always Dear One. 💚🙏💙🍁🍂🌻🌼🏵🐞💛🧡❤️
Lovely walk with you and “Pats” I especially like when you identify the flowers. 😊
“O suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October’s bright blue weather.”~ Helen Hunt Jackson
Perfect timing to find this video; I'd just come out of my clothes closet, determined to share my own assortment of clothing with others. Some will go to a nearby charity shop, but mostly I'm grateful to donate winter clothing to the folks who've lost everything in the mountains above me. What a beautiful walk, Colette!
The colors of the leaves spread out on the woodland floor are nature's mosaic. So beautiful and the sound of the water is amazing. You are looking fantastic, and you and patsy have a blessed day💚🍂🍃🍁
The walk was as if walking with you. The jackets look great. Very much better quality then todays buys. 😊😊
Mother Nature is DEFINITELY smiling!😊
Hiya Colette appreciate you sharing a walk about in the woods. This is my fave time of year. Blessings to you and yours southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
Oh, your home and property are so beautiful! What you have done with your land is just amazing. Thank you for taking us along. Your clothes are lovely. I can relate to your passion. I, too, love fabrics and their textures and colors!
The quality,cut and fabric of vintage clothes is amazing
Hello Colette magic as always. Love from Devon.
Good morning Colette, it was a lovely walk today in your woodland. I love hearing the sound of running water from the stream. Patsy is such a sweet little one. Blessings to you. Have a wonderful week. ❤
Perfection! My dream home Collette! I understand how a blank canvas can be transformed. Mother Nature is miraculous and does what she does best! I had a gorgeous cottage style filled up garden on a small rental block in suburbia. It was glorious (to me anyway) some thought it was a jungle! Ohh the bees and the birds and all the other critters were aplenty! After 23 years we needed to leave our little piece of glorious nature and beauty. Later we discovered the whole lot was wiped out by the new owners. Oh well, hope they're happy with their grass, at least they have sensational soil under foot! and I'm sure they have all manner of plants and life popping up too!💚🌸🌿🌻
My friend sold her little cottage bear Seattle and the new owners cut down every tree and bulldozed every plant. Now it’s a concrete blob surrounded by gravel. Looks like a bank.
I must say, I love your haircut. Beautiful. Nature is so fascinating to see, smell, and touch. I love how creative it is. Collette, you and Patsy have a blessed day
Sending hugs from USA Virginia
I love wind in your garden and your vintage cloths! I am a fan of (what we call in America) thrift stores. I have found the most amazing quality and stylish cloths there. And it always seems I only get compliments on my thrift cloths, not the others. You are a wise women!
Hi Colette, your 3 acres is becoming more majestic as it ages. Just beautiful!
Beautiful clothes Colette and don’t worry about the bed it’s supposed to be left open to air just like the clothes. That’s my excuse anyway.
Loved the walk amongst the amazing colours and leaf fall….amazing.
Thanks for the beautiful walk with Patsy. Your garden is sooo alive with wild spirit. It’s walking between parallel universes and connecting with my ancestors at same time. Thanks for sharing. It’s heart warming ❤
For many decades when I was working and needing to wear suits and business attire for my work, I often had 2-3 sizes of clothes to deal with my fluctuating weight which was due largely to stress and what I chose to eat. So, I have been retired for going on 6 years and reduced my wardrobe by half as I have lost nearly 50 pounds gradually as I have taken better care of my body and what I chose to eat. I still have pounds to go before I sleep😊, but your sorting and donations of clothes has inspired me to make another pass through clothes to donate that have not been worn in a long while. The changing of the seasons is a great time to take on this project.
Thank you for your lovely videos. They are a welcome part of my Sunday routine🍁💙🍁
Hey Colette, Ashley is blowing us away in Ballycastle. Wild. What a day. Mother Nature is speaking clearly today
How wonderful it is to take a stroll with you and Patsy in your beautiful woodland. 😊
So beautiful and so autumnal. I love the clothes Colette, it's so expensive buying everything from new.
Thank you for your video xxx
What a fabulous collection of vintage clothing you have. We have similar tastes in clothing, and I fell in love with all the pieces you showed.
As you walked us through the woodland, I was thinking what a stunning autumnal backdrop for a vintage fashion show 😊.
Colette, if your ears have been burning, that was me.
I went to Norfolk last week to help my parents decluttering 2 sheds and a garage.
Well, my dad found old tiles and was about to put them in the skip when I called out. No, I need them. I then talked about your amazing flooring and how I was going to do my own version in my bathroom and kitchen.
So that's 15 large tiles saved from landfill ❤.
Just thought I'd share and encourage you in all you do. You are an inspiration.
Thank you from Leicester England xx
This lovely walk with you and Patsy was a treat! Thanks for all you share on your chanel!!
Thank you so much for this beautiful post. I thoroughly enjoyed your walk in your very beautiful and precious woodland Collette.
Thank you Collette for another lovely video. Since loosing both My parents, your videos yourself & patsy give me great comfort 🧡
Thank you for creating such a wonderful woodland 🪵🌳🐦⬛🐝
grá & beannacht ✨☘️✨
Hello Collette, you look a good size, your vintage clothes are beautiful! Just turned 71 here.
I’ve followed you on UA-cam for a few years now, and never in all of the videos I’ve watched have I failed to be in awe at your woodland. Every time without exception. It could easily be unbelievable that one woman could create this. I love these walking experience videos too
I liked the little black n white top❤have you got photos of you very young dressed up in some of these vintage wonders...would be great to see❤love what you've done to your property...I watched your videos pre covid and redesigned my garden for a more natural look etc
You look wonderful, Colette! Stay strong & healthy! Your yard & woodland is beyond beautiful!!!
Good morning friend and thank you for the lovely walk about thru your woodland this morning. I thoroughly enjoyed spending this time with you and Patsy. Have a beautiful day!!
Colette, your hair looks fabulous and we have the same fashion sense, (all second hand) you're looking amazing. Thanks for the wonderful videos 🕊
You are so right- vintage clothes are so much better. The quality of the fabric, sewing, and artistry is unmatched compared to what is sold in stores today. I've been shopping in thift shops and sewing since I was a youngster and love the thrill of the treasure hunt.
My Appalachian Grandma had a pet crow.
My Bohemian Grandma always grew an amazing garden. As a kid, I thought it was weird that she ate roasted pumpkin seeds and canned weird foods like beets. She lived to be 98 and I absolutely believe it was because she kept active in her garden and ate what she produced. The irony of me becoming interested in alternative medicine and healthy eating is not lost on me, lol.
My hubby rode horse up in the Black Hills yesterday and took our Border Collie puppy along for the first time. The fall colors in the pictures he sent were beautiful.
Oh first one, cool! Hello beautiful! Thank you
Dear Colette, It's amazing how, in a few years, you've transformed a somewhat barren area into a paradise of your very own. I loved the walkabout, seeing the colors and the beautiful carpet of leaves gently being caressed by the shadows of the trees. Patsy is wonderful and comical at the same time, her funny skipping on three legs as she enjoys all nature offers to her sensitive nose. You've reminded me to collect my unused clothes and donate them to a thrift shop. Got to go now and walk for about 20 minutes. Enjoy the coming week. Jersey Ann from NJ in USA😀💕
Beautiful, Colette, your wood is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for the walk.
I have walked a dog(s) almost everyday since I was 9, except for years in college and the bits of time after the loss of a dog. Now going onto my 65 year of doing so! I cannot walk as far as I once did due to bad knees, but I still walk my two dogs twice a day. I must walk each separately now because they get too frisky and want to play, leaving me either tangled among their leashes and at risk of falling. I would be at a loss without a walking companion. Enjoyed your walks as much as i do mine.❤🐕🦺❤
😊I have been watching for a good few years now and I just wanted you to know you and your cottage and your lovely woods are looking very snazzy lately . Very nice and I am happy for you . ❤
Enjoyed the walk! The sounds of water and nature! Thank you❤
My favorite shot was the forest floor with a carpet of varied shapes and colors of leaves. Beautiful! I much enjoyed the fashion show; if people knew about the thrill of the hunt one experiences in any second hand store (our charity shops are Goodwill and Salvation Army), they might find shopping at a mall or online quite stale in comparison.Thanks for the walk and all its lovely views of trees and brush and stream and all.
I genuinely look forward to you videos every Sunday morning from central Texas! You inspire me! I love shopping a consignment shops here in Texas for clothes and household goods. It brings me joy to find bargains that serve me!
Thank you for taking us on the lovely quiet walk--especially for leaving moments of quiet. I am trying to reacclimate myself to longer stretches of quiet. Your occasional comment helps keep me reigned in. Love the sounds of crunching leaves under your feet! 😊
I have an Aran sweater knitted with Merino wool, that I bought new in 1977. It is my absolute favourite vintage wardrobe item. If I had the money I would order a couple more...maybe I should knit my own from thrifted wool jumpers.
Absolutely love the colors and smells of autumn.
Thank you for the beautiful Sunday morning. I"ve been sitting here enjoying my coffee with you as you and Patsy have your walk in nature. Thankyou for taking me along. Yes it is about 7 hours earlier here.
Such beautiful items of clothing thank you for showing them to us and I absolutely love to stroll through your woods.
Happy Sunday to you and your little doggie....beautiful video...your Cottage sums up peace and tranquility in one ❤❤
Patsy is so precious. I'm so glad to see you taking good care of yourself. A lovely side benefit is being able to enjoy your wonderful collection of vintage clothing. Hurrah!
Clothes are marvelous! Some real gems in there. Hope you curate and keep most of what you shared.
Our walk is a balm to my soul. Bless you Colette.
You have some lovely vintage outfits. I get most of my clothes from charity shops, I'm often amazed at the bargains that are available! You are a year younger than me as I will be 70 next month, I feel very blessed to have reached this milestone. Blessings to you. ❤
That’s what I always love about your channel-the woodland walks. Forest bathing, beauty,peace. Thank you❤
I absolutely love your cottage woodland. Thank you for sharing how beautiful it is. I really do love your vintage clothing. You do have many beautiful things. I look forward to you video's.
The dog (Arthur) and I take a Sniffy Walk everyday. He just takes off with the “go be a dog” command. And I just meander behind him. It is the most wonderful time of the day!
Colette I found it amazing when you talked about kicking the war trolls out, the natural world spoke out by sending a massive gust of wind to send us a message about how it feels about what these wars are doing to our planet and to innocent people. Bless you and Patsy ❤
I'm 74 now and have always reused clothes and fabric to make items for the family. It was how I was brought up after the war. When my children were small I used to buy adult clothes from jumble sales and cut them down to make outfits for them. I still (if I can find them) buy hand knits from charity shops and pull back the wool to make new jumpers.
As a child I was fascinated by shat I called "leafy tunnels" and now you have one all the way up to your little home; Glorious. Thankyou for this lovely interlude.
Hello Colette! Only one minute in and I’m loving today’s topic. And that vest/waistcoat is sending out vintage “Annie Hall” vibes! Love it. 😎
It is gorgeous
The spring well is so soothing of a sound.
dear Colette.....you are blessed in this landscape............................I recicle paper and I create Diaries..from all that papers....................Patsy is so cute.....I love your style........Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘
What a beautiful woodland to be walking on! Seeing Patsy so happy as she walked, reminded me of my own Precious. She too loved to walk and explore. Blessings dear Colette ❤
You and Patsy have a wonderful week.
🙂🙂
Hi Colette just love your hair . Your clothes are just fabulous. Love your videos .
Good morning to you and Patsy! Enjoyed the Autumn stroll through the woods with my coffee! Your vintage collection is beautiful. I love your vest, I wear them with everything. Thanks for sharing your story. 🍁☕️🧡
Thank you, Colette, for this lovely video. I feel second hand is a better way to shop.We don't have nice vintage or charity shops where we live. We would have to drive an hour or more. Hugs and love to Patsy and you ❤
Thank you for that beautiful walk this morning, I enjoyed it with a coffee in my hand. It is such a nice start into the day 🌳🌻🌍🌈
Love your style. In Australia we call them Op shops and it’s great to see how popular they are for all ages. Keeps us away from fast fashion. When I donate I always say that it’s someone else’s turn to have this.
Your woodland is so beautiful Colette , utterly magical , thank you for sharing with us ❤
