Love watching your videos, today we had frost and here in Scotland the clocks went back an hour last night so it will slowly be dark by 4pm and it will be about 9 am before its totally light, today i did what you do stuck my duvet outside for a few hours and oh my they smell so fresh, I love the dark winter months here in Scotland, love getting up on a frosty morning hot shower and then heading down stairs from my flat to my shop to start work ( I own 2 convenience stores )
A quick google search states around 3 million books are published each year just in the United States (both traditionally and self published). You’re number 15 on the NYT bestseller list. That’s a big deal. A REALLY BIG DEAL. Congrats Cecilia ❤!
There's a reason you're so popular Cecilia and it's not just the beautiful scenery around you. You are authentic and fun and just enjoyable to watch ♥️
Your book was mentioned so I wanted to convey an anecdote. My father was in town for my wedding and when he was visiting with us in our house he was asking about honeymoon plans. I told him that since my wife and I are cold weather people, we were considering something in the Scandinavian region. At this point, he has asked me if I had ever heard of a town named Svalbard because he had just bought a book written by a woman who lived in Svalbard with her partner and her Finnish Lapphund, Grim. I had but one guess as to the author, and it was exactly who I suspected. He does not watch UA-cam, but I recommended the channel. Your book is reaching far and wide, and I am very happy for your success.
Cecilia!! You should write a children’s book about polar night! The main character could be afraid of the dark so they’re scared about polar night approaching, but then they discover all the beautiful things that come with polar night and they get over their fear. 🥲❤️
That is a very good idea! The story would be wonderful for children, and the pictures could be beautiful, the wonderful Northern lights, the millions of stars in the sky!
Received my book 🎉 I have enjoyed reading it twice so far. What a beautiful book. 10 out of 10, highly recommend for oneself and/or a gift. Thank you Cecilia
I read your e-book today. It was brilliant! The photography and story were so good. You are a gifted story teller, and your photos are so well composed.
You are an ambassador for Svalbard. You put them on the map, for those of us that have never heard of this magnificent place. Congratulations from Louisiana, USA.
Yess exactly the same for me. Like an early chrismas morning with family and so calming ❤ they made me enjoy wintertime also so much more by showing the beauty of it 😊
One of the best channels on UA-cam! I love your videos. The cinematography, the authentic personality you have, and all the positivity you spread. Keep doing what you’re doing, we all appreciate it!
I just want you to know I absolutely, love your chanel. I am in the Midwest in the United States and I am now kind of obsessed with Svalbard because of you. I am excited to get your book soon and congratulations on that as a fellow writer I know your excitement on getting that first copy in the mail. Your chanel is so soothing and calming just what my brain that is always going needs. So thank you for that. I am always looking forward to your next video
I am so happy for you and Christopher. It just goes to show how admired your lifestyle is and how enjoyable your channel. I am very happy for you both.
You are an wonderful ambassador for Svalbard. You put them on the map, for those of us that have never heard of this magnificent place. Congratulations from Poland.
@@CeciliaBlomdahl please tell me where your BLUE SWEATER/JACKET was from when you announced you're a New York Best-seller girl! I want that blue sweater with the half zipper. And congrats 🎉
On Sundays after my routine is done, I get on you tube to get your video. This morning I was going to tell you how awesome your book is with all your pictures, and congratulate you on your work. I am watching you video and then you tell us that you got an email about your book making the New York Bestseller List, I had tears in my eyes. I was so happy for you. Also proud of the work you have done. Your book should sell for double what it cost. It is beautiful. Cecilia, you are an amazing person and I love Grim so much and can’t leave Christoffer out. He is a nice man as well. I thank you for sharing a part of the world I would not ever have seen if not for you showing us. Keep up the great work and enjoy your polar night for the rest of us.😊. A true follower from the USA. North Carolina. Kim H.
I want to know get secret and maybe also Christoffer’s. They have such an amazingly positive outlook on life! Is it a cultural thing? Is it their upbringing? They both just really impress me!
It's actually one of the seven different kinds of intelligence, an affinity with nature, colour, sound, a deeper appreciation of nature and a love of it!
You deserve to be on the list you are a great story teller and very interesting. You live in a very unique area of our world and introducing people to your Northern Island is a gift for us to learn and experience through your knowledge. ❤
Congratulations on your book.!! You deserve it.!!! Thank you for sharing your life. I am disabled and have to be flat in bed up to 16 hours a day. You and Christopher are such a treasure!! Grimm as well.
I am mostly in bed all day too. I have several family members who think I’m “faking it”. But we know different don’t we! Love and prayers to you. Maybe we should be pen 🖊️ pals! Enjoy your day.
I live in southeast Alaska and I have historically had a lot of trouble and depression with short winter days, but you are making me look at it differently and I'm dreading it less.
Amazing!! Congratulations Cecilia on your book’s success. I enjoy watching your channel so much and have learned so much about Svalbard and your region of the world from you. It is a well deserved accolade, so happy for you!
Your channel makes living in cold weather so magical. Your enthusiasm is contagious. A Filipina girl living in Texas actually looking forward to visiting Svalbard?! Who would have thought it. Thank you! ❤❤❤
Dear Cecillia and Christopher, I enjoy watching your channel. I am an old lady and I was 49 years old when I started learning English. Now I'm 62. You help me a lot of. And the wonderful nature around you. I am following you from the small country of SLOVAKIA.This beautiful country is in the heart of Europe👍👍👍
67 and I think I need to learn Spanish. I do things to keep me feeling young despite my body falling apart! From the USA. She has helped me to like winter so much more. ❤❤
I am 77 and loved winter as a child. Seeing winter through the eyes of Cecelia, Christopher and Grim delights me even though myself does not venture out in ice and snow. I like falling snow not falling me.
Cecilia, even when it is dark or rainy outside, when I look at your channel, watching you, Christoffer and Grim makes the sun shine brightly!!! You are like a ray of sun, honey, you make people happy with your positive vibes!! Thanks so much, dear, for being yourself, for showing us your part of the world, a wonderfull place called Svalbard!! Lots of love and huge hugs to all 3 of you, from an old (rebel), Pinkie
I'm in MN - home of the Steger Mukluks - and I love delving into the dark depths of winter with you!! Some folks hate it but there is so much about it that I love and I'm so glad I found someone else who can see the positivity of this season!!
God really does make all kinds of people. I do NOT like the short days of winter. Your love of polar nights has really helped me see this time of year in a new light, um, way. What a beautiful place you are blessed to live. It is absolutely stunning. I love your videos. Keep doing you. Its great content! From SE VA USA
I recently started watching from Phoenix AZ USA, where we just dropped below triple digit temps. I can't imagine living in your temps, but escaping to your channel with snow, polar nights, and sparse population is a refreshing escape, especially right now during a volatile political time here. Thanks for bringing us into your world!
Received your book yesterday and by the time I’m done reading it, my brother will now get a used Christmas present. Love all of the detailed information with the breakdown of months etc. You have really out done yourself. Absolutely beautiful. You go girl and thank you for sharing your slice of heaven. My brother was there in the summer so your book has inspired me to visit.
This channel has just become a part of my routine at this point. Every Sunday after work, I come home to a new Cecilia video. Honestly can’t beat it. Every video is always such a joy to watch
Cecilia, I am so glad to have been able to pre-order your book. I'm halfway through it, and every page is magically fascinating. Your voice shines so clearly through your work. The recognition is well deserved, you go girl! 🧡
I just spent one of the best 43 minutes of my life. I love the 0C temperatures, the moon shining on the ocean , the crunch underfoot. I live on the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia so I’m living amongst nature, and I never tire of the sights. Our temperatures don’t usually drop below 5 in the winter and I’m a lover of the frosty days. We get more rain, hence all the fir and pine trees. I’m living my best winter sights through your channel.
I turn 55 in about 2 weeks, and I saw the aurora for the first time in my life!! I live in Maine USA, so I don’t have a lot of open sky near me, but the aurora a couple of weeks ago was right over my house!! I saw so many colors, it was amazing!! I love the scenery around your cabins! I don’t do well in the cold, I’m a wood stove hugger all winter here, but I love to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your life. And congratulations on your book!!!
So many of us in the US use your postings to get centered, balanced and as an escape from the craziness on our side of the pond.I feel like I have been to a life long friend’s house, and have recharged my energy. Thanks Cecilia and Christoffer and Grim for letting me use escape for a few moments ❤❤❤❤
You deserve being on the best sellers list because you are a great cinematographer. I just love your imagery and will continue to watch whatever you do. Love my book!
@@KnittingFoole omg, that's adorable!! Although I have to wait awhile to be able to squeeze the purchase into my budget, I absolutely plan on buying it as a present to myself for Christmas!! ❤
I loved watching Grim and his zoomies! I love when our animals run like that. They seem so happy, and that all is right in the world! 🐶 I just enjoy seeing them so happy!
Good for you Cecilia!!! Congratulations! You have worked really hard to make a great channel and share your life so making the list is so well deserved. I never comment but felt moved by happiness for you. I watch every video with my five year old. We live in Wisconsin and celebrate our Norwegian family traditions here and appreciate Christopher’s authentic scandi cooking 😊 Wishing you the very best.
Cecilia, I am so happy to have received your book: Life on Svalbard. It has been worth the wait, I must say! Stunning photos (especially Grim!) and delightful stories that make me feel as if I am right there. Thank you so much for the wonderful chronicle of your life on Svalbard. May God bless you and watch over you, Christoffer and Grim! 💟🌠
As someone who moved far enough south that we only have 2 months of winter, I admire you. I get cold at 50 degrees so it makes me smile to see you in just your pjs perfectly happy at 32F. We had the ice storm 3 years ago and our living room was 32F for 6 days. I was miserable, but I think you would have happily made coffee and carried on :)
Congratulations Cecilia , so well-deserved! I absolutely love your book. Easy to read and so beautiful to look at. I’m a hygienist and I’m always telling my patients about you and your UA-cam videos, and your dog Grim. Can’t wait to see you get to 1 million subscribers!
Since receiving my copy of your book I've been taking time every day to grab a cup of coffee and sit down and read a section. It's absolutely gorgeous. Congrats on it becoming a bestseller!
Philips Hue lights helped with my sleep schedule, circadian so much. Their recent “natural light” setting that automatically transitions the color warmness and brightness through the day is amazing. e.g If you need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and you turn it on it’s the lowest brightness and warm color. It’s an invenstment for sure but totally pays off on the long run with health benefits.
I love your enthusiasm for polar night - it's contagious. I have really bad S.A.D. every year, and your videos and embrace of cozy winter have been making me feel more at ease about the coming darker months ahead. I wonder if you maintain your same level of exercise routine and activity during polar night, or do you find yourself having less energy for these things? I've heard mixed reviews about maintaining fitness routines during the winter season vs slowing down with nature and letting yourself rest. Thanks
I admire your lifestyle! It’s so refreshing to see someone living in harmony with nature. You make living in Svalbard look so appealing! Thanks for sharing this beautiful experience. ❤
I remember finding you during COVID and you did that video where it was like 'get ready with me to go to work' when you worked at the school. How time flys!
I live in northern Illinois and I’m 32, this year was my first time seeing the northern lights and I absolutely CANNOT get enough!! Been on my bucket list for years and I was literally jumping up and down with excitement seeing them!!
I’m so sorry for your loss! They’re part of the family! I have a 16 1/2 year-old Shih Tzu, and while I cherish every day we have with her, I know that day is coming sooner rather than later. I dread it. She has given us some of the best 16 years and counting of our lives! Watching Grim does remind me of her a little when she was younger! Except for the love of snow. He loves it, and mine has always been a big sissy with it, lol. Anyway, my condolences on your fur baby!
I'm in Quebec and it's hard to explain to people from warmer climates but today is significantly colder and it isn't snowing yet but you can "smell" the snow in the air... I'm sure you know what i mean.
I miss that smell! I got a hint of it last year and my kids thought I was insane until they woke up the next morning and frost was all over the cars and roof! 🙂 I'm originally from Northern Michigan.
I lived on a small island off the coast of Connecticut for a year and it was one of the best years of my life. The weather, ocean, sunsets and boat watching was just so life-affirming. Miss it terribly.
I own a Haflinger pony whose color is similar to Grim. He too likes to have morning zoomies - galloping and bucking past me just like Grim runs past you, ignoring the toy. So cute!
I totally bought your book when it came out :) we've been reading a few pages every night out loud. We live near Seattle and all the leaves are falling and it's now so rainy and getting dark early. Our 2 huskies like to watch Grim. You need to buy a foldable wagon to bring your groceries to the house :) keep the wagon in the truck.
Cecilia loves every single day, her positive energy is such a joy to watch. My favourite season is winter, however our winter is short and rarely gets below 4 degrees Celsius and top temperatures usually 17 to 22. Thought your slip and slip routine on the deck was funny. Love watching your videos
Congrats on making the best sellers list , what an honor which you can use for the rest of your life . I love driving trucks myself . Polar night is finally here .
It’s a crispy Sunday morning here and I needed my cozy time with you guys. The whole time you were sliding on the deck I was cackling and saying don’t fall, don’t fall 😂 I adore the fall cup it is so beautiful. I want all of them! I have the same issue in my living room. I love that light. It works. You do deserve to be on the best sellers list. Your book brings me directly to Svalbard for all the seasons. When I read it I could hear your lovely voice. You were telling me your story and it was wonderful. I’ve told you before that you’re my happy place and the book just solidifies it. My Sunday doesn’t start until I’ve watched your video and I am perfectly fine with it! Hope Christoffer landed safely. Have an incredible week. You deserve it
Cecilia I think one of the loved BBC weather guy's is a fan. We actually had a report that polar night begins on Svalbard on 6pm news weather segment. I shouted to the TV 'bet he subscribes to Cecilla'. Then a list of UKs sunrise and sunset times. So I was waiting for tonight's episode, you did not disappoint. Congrats on the book. 🎉
1:57 I don’t know why, but you going up & down the deck and the noise of your shoes made me think: “Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down”! They were little toys we had as kids,but they’re probably quite a bit “older” than you are……. What a great life you have there, I enjoy your knowledge & research, that you share with us. The music was especially good today too!! Congratulations on your book!!
When I had school stress with exams I’d love to watch one of ur videos after revising and stressing over work. It was so relaxing and would put stuff in perspective
Congratulations on making it to the NYT best seller’s list! I absolutely look forward to your videos. The scenery is breathtaking and you are so talented in your recording and editing that the rugged and raw beauty of Longyearbyen shines through. Your positive outlook and work ethic is so refreshing. Congrats again.

Hi Cecelia
Thanks for sharing..
It's Awesome watching you 3
A quick google search states around 3 million books are published each year just in the United States (both traditionally and self published). You’re number 15 on the NYT bestseller list. That’s a big deal. A REALLY BIG DEAL. Congrats Cecilia ❤!
Cecilia, you live your life with gratitude and joy, that is what attracts viewers to you ... ❤❤
That’s really sweet, thank you! 😊

I second that !!
Yes she’s a lovely soul.
Agreeeeeeed ❤
Love her energy.
She's really great.
Grim is the Best.
Christopher is a Cool Cat too.
Your book was mentioned so I wanted to convey an anecdote. My father was in town for my wedding and when he was visiting with us in our house he was asking about honeymoon plans. I told him that since my wife and I are cold weather people, we were considering something in the Scandinavian region. At this point, he has asked me if I had ever heard of a town named Svalbard because he had just bought a book written by a woman who lived in Svalbard with her partner and her Finnish Lapphund, Grim. I had but one guess as to the author, and it was exactly who I suspected. He does not watch UA-cam, but I recommended the channel. Your book is reaching far and wide, and I am very happy for your success.
Hunkering down is a very specific and special feeling . Primal content . Deep and comforting . I need this mentally
Cecilia!! You should write a children’s book about polar night! The main character could be afraid of the dark so they’re scared about polar night approaching, but then they discover all the beautiful things that come with polar night and they get over their fear. 🥲❤️
That is a very good idea! The story would be wonderful for children, and the pictures could be beautiful, the wonderful Northern lights, the millions of stars in the sky!
That’s a wonderful idea😀
Ooo or make the main character be Grimm.

And congratulations on your book!!!
21:17 well deserved huge congratulations on making the NYT best seller list! Such an amazing achievement 👏👏👏👏🙌📖🍾🥂🥳
@5:06 Grim is zooming with his heart full of joy&love for his mom! And his hapy life mom&dad provide❤
So many of us in the US use your postings to get centered, balanced and as an escape from the craziness on our side of the pond.I feel like I have been to a life long friend’s house, and have recharged my energy. Thanks Cecilia and Christoffer and Grim for letting me use escape for a few moments ❤❤❤❤
I’m doing the same thing.
@@smontoneme too
You deserve the best book seller of your village...from New York aTimes....so happy for you n it didn't surprise me ❤ you're amazing!!!!
You deserve being on the best sellers list because you are a great cinematographer. I just love your imagery and will continue to watch whatever you do. Love my book!
I typically dislike UA-camr ads, but your NordVPN ad with Grim was simply adorable! ❤️🐶
Same for me. I never skip her ads 😍😍
I also love that if you get an autographed copy of her book both her and Grimm sign it.
@@KnittingFoole omg, that's adorable!! Although I have to wait awhile to be able to squeeze the purchase into my budget, I absolutely plan on buying it as a present to myself for Christmas!! ❤
So agree with you :) He is so adorable!
NordVPN needs to sign Grim up for a contract, he's too cute to fast forward through.
I loved watching Grim and his zoomies! I love when our animals run like that. They seem so happy, and that all is right in the world! 🐶 I just enjoy seeing them so happy!
Good for you Cecilia!!! Congratulations! You have worked really hard to make a great channel and share your life so making the list is so well deserved. I never comment but felt moved by happiness for you. I watch every video with my five year old. We live in Wisconsin and celebrate our Norwegian family traditions here and appreciate Christopher’s authentic scandi cooking 😊 Wishing you the very best.
Life's been getting me down lately but i know turning your channel on chills me out and cheers me up. Congratulations on your book.
CONGRATULATIONS Cecilia for your book making it into the New York Times Bestsellers list….YOU ARE FAMOUS !!!!!
Cecilia, I am so happy to have received your book: Life on Svalbard. It has been worth the wait, I must say! Stunning photos (especially Grim!) and delightful stories that make me feel as if I am right there. Thank you so much for the wonderful chronicle of your life on Svalbard. May God bless you and watch over you, Christoffer and Grim! 💟🌠
As someone who moved far enough south that we only have 2 months of winter, I admire you. I get cold at 50 degrees so it makes me smile to see you in just your pjs perfectly happy at 32F. We had the ice storm 3 years ago and our living room was 32F for 6 days. I was miserable, but I think you would have happily made coffee and carried on :)
OK but you get that in places with cold winters our houses are warm, right?
@@kaclama Yes, it was a light hearted comment.
This time of year, every year, I start CRAVING these videos. This and Gilmore Girls, I can’t explain it!
Congratulations Cecilia , so well-deserved! I absolutely love your book. Easy to read and so beautiful to look at. I’m a hygienist and I’m always telling my patients about you and your UA-cam videos, and your dog Grim. Can’t wait to see you get to 1 million subscribers!
Since receiving my copy of your book I've been taking time every day to grab a cup of coffee and sit down and read a section. It's absolutely gorgeous. Congrats on it becoming a bestseller!
I usually hate the commercial portion of any video. But Grim makes them adorable. Nord needs to hire him.
Cecilia! Congratulations on your book reaching the bestseller list!
Philips Hue lights helped with my sleep schedule, circadian so much. Their recent “natural light” setting that automatically transitions the color warmness and brightness through the day is amazing. e.g If you need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and you turn it on it’s the lowest brightness and warm color. It’s an invenstment for sure but totally pays off on the long run with health benefits.
I love your enthusiasm for polar night - it's contagious. I have really bad S.A.D. every year, and your videos and embrace of cozy winter have been making me feel more at ease about the coming darker months ahead. I wonder if you maintain your same level of exercise routine and activity during polar night, or do you find yourself having less energy for these things? I've heard mixed reviews about maintaining fitness routines during the winter season vs slowing down with nature and letting yourself rest. Thanks
You’re one of the best parts of Sunday. Hello from St.Kitts in the Caribbean.
That’s so sweet, thank you! 😊
The Caribbean! I was vacationing there a year ago. Another dream location!
I admire your lifestyle! It’s so refreshing to see someone living in harmony with nature. You make living in Svalbard look so appealing! Thanks for sharing this beautiful experience. ❤
I remember finding you during COVID and you did that video where it was like 'get ready with me to go to work' when you worked at the school. How time flys!
Thanks for giving Americans a moment to exhale. Your videos are my moment of zen in a sea of chaotic social media
I live in northern Illinois and I’m 32, this year was my first time seeing the northern lights and I absolutely CANNOT get enough!! Been on my bucket list for years and I was literally jumping up and down with excitement seeing them!!
My dog passed away this morning at the age of 15 and now I’m really enjoying watching Grim- enjoy each day with him
Sorry for your loss 😢 xx
Oh no…..I’m so very sorry for this grievous loss…..my heart breaks for you…..💔🐶💔
I’m so sorry for your loss! They’re part of the family! I have a 16 1/2 year-old Shih Tzu, and while I cherish every day we have with her, I know that day is coming sooner rather than later. I dread it. She has given us some of the best 16 years and counting of our lives! Watching Grim does remind me of her a little when she was younger! Except for the love of snow. He loves it, and mine has always been a big sissy with it, lol. Anyway, my condolences on your fur baby!
So sorry 😢
Sorry for your loss, but he's with five of my Golden's ✌️
I'm in Quebec and it's hard to explain to people from warmer climates but today is significantly colder and it isn't snowing yet but you can "smell" the snow in the air... I'm sure you know what i mean.
Buffalo NY here! You can definitely smell the snow in the air when it's coming! Iykyk lol
I was born and raised in Buffalo as well, snow most definitely has a smell and a "sound" or lack thereof I suppose
can't wait visit Quebec in November
I miss that smell! I got a hint of it last year and my kids thought I was insane until they woke up the next morning and frost was all over the cars and roof! 🙂 I'm originally from Northern Michigan.
Northern Vermont here - first daytime snow today. I simply love the smell and the sound of snow. ❄
Congratulations On Making it to the NYT Best Seller List! Well Deserved.
Aw thank you so much, I'm so happy! 🙏🏻😊
I lived on a small island off the coast of Connecticut for a year and it was one of the best years of my life. The weather, ocean, sunsets and boat watching was just so life-affirming. Miss it terribly.
I own a Haflinger pony whose color is similar to Grim. He too likes to have morning zoomies - galloping and bucking past me just like Grim runs past you, ignoring the toy. So cute!
Living without bugs, how lovely for you!
I know, right? Sounds lovely!
I totally bought your book when it came out :) we've been reading a few pages every night out loud. We live near Seattle and all the leaves are falling and it's now so rainy and getting dark early. Our 2 huskies like to watch Grim.
You need to buy a foldable wagon to bring your groceries to the house :) keep the wagon in the truck.
It's so great to see Grim having fun running all over the place, and with that beautiful view out there. :)
Cecilia loves every single day, her positive energy is such a joy to watch. My favourite season is winter, however our winter is short and rarely gets below 4 degrees Celsius and top temperatures usually 17 to 22. Thought your slip and slip routine on the deck was funny. Love watching your videos
Congrats on making the best sellers list , what an honor which you can use for the rest of your life . I love driving trucks myself . Polar night is finally here .
Grim needs an agent. That dog has charisma!!
It’s a crispy Sunday morning here and I needed my cozy time with you guys. The whole time you were sliding on the deck I was cackling and saying don’t fall, don’t fall 😂 I adore the fall cup it is so beautiful. I want all of them! I have the same issue in my living room. I love that light. It works.
You do deserve to be on the best sellers list. Your book brings me directly to Svalbard for all the seasons. When I read it I could hear your lovely voice. You were telling me your story and it was wonderful. I’ve told you before that you’re my happy place and the book just solidifies it. My Sunday doesn’t start until I’ve watched your video and I am perfectly fine with it! Hope Christoffer landed safely. Have an incredible week. You deserve it
The night sky at 5 pm was just glorious. And as you said the moon glistening across the water. 😊❤
Grimm is so sweet and loves his new toy!
She has such a great sense of humour and such a wonderful way to explain it. ❤ I can’t wait to visit!!
So glad you shared your life on Svalbard. ❤
Cecilia I think one of the loved BBC weather guy's is a fan. We actually had a report that polar night begins on Svalbard on 6pm news weather segment. I shouted to the TV 'bet he subscribes to Cecilla'. Then a list of UKs sunrise and sunset times. So I was waiting for tonight's episode, you did not disappoint. Congrats on the book. 🎉
1:57 I don’t know why, but you going up & down the deck and the noise of your shoes made me think: “Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down”! They were little toys we had as kids,but they’re probably quite a bit “older” than you are……. What a great life you have there, I enjoy your knowledge & research, that you share with us. The music was especially good today too!! Congratulations on your book!!
Those were my favorite toys when I was little.
When I had school stress with exams I’d love to watch one of ur videos after revising and stressing over work. It was so relaxing and would put stuff in perspective
Congratulations on making it to the NYT best seller’s list!
I absolutely look forward to your videos. The scenery is breathtaking and you are so talented in your recording and editing that the rugged and raw beauty of Longyearbyen shines through. Your positive outlook and work ethic is so refreshing. Congrats again.
