วีดีโอ

I have just realised that I missed this first video. Reminding me of the excitement we felt when moving into our second home in Essex. We only planned to be here for five years but it turned out to be where we were to spend all our married life - thirty four / five years!

The view from your house is stunning!

The house start looking realy nice!!!❤

Have a marvellous Xmas Bee and Simon! Thanks for sharing your wonderful journey and experiences over 2024. Your vlogs have bought us such inspiration, peace, joy, and laughter 😊

Hi Bee just wishing you and Simon are happy Xmas and hope you have a lovely time and hope the kitchens all done for your xmas dinner 😊 xx

Another lovely video oozing "kindness" something hopefully we might see more of in society next year..Take care from a very stormy west of Ireland ❤❤❤

Hola Bee. Holland looks beautiful, but I know exactly what you mean. I'm just back home after a trip to Uk, and as much as I miss family I don't think I could go back to the hectic hustle & bustle, noise, traffic & crowds everywhere. Simon & the dogs will have missed you, but looks like he's been busy. Have a lovely Xmas , rest & get ready for another year. Love& hugs ♥️🌲♥️

Thank you for showing Holland. I live nearby Utrecht in Doorn. My friend has her whole life the same as you, not very happy in NL, now see lives half/half in NL and Africa and is content. I am always happy to be back home in NL, but I enjoy every holliday. Thanks for sharing your lives with Simon in Greece, I enjoy it. Have a nice Christmas and a happy 2025.

Lovely to see you and some of the Netherlands, which I love too. Have a lovely Xmas ! 🥰💖

Hi Bee I understand you I’m from the Netherlands also,and always knew I’m not going to live here was just a feeling . That game true a long time ago to a country in the Middle East,not far from you…. Nice to visit family and that your father is better greetings and Merry Christmas to you both ❤

Enjoy being back home and have a cozy family Christmas 💕🎄

Missed you and good to see your father pick up and family are well. I shall look into Hawthorn and share it with my cousin's daughter-in-law, who is taking an extensive course in all things herbal. I enjoyed seeing Uttecht. (I have a 16th Century connection to Amsterdam.) I relate to being wandering spirit, too. Though, you speak better English than my few years learning Nederlandse! All the best to you and Simon for Christmas and New Year. Xx P.S. Would be lovely to learn about any customary celebrations at your location into 2025. Tot siens.

I wish you both a very peaceful Christmas. 'See' you in 2025, look forward to see what wonders Simon creates and the continued work of your lovely home. Blessed be 🙏

Everything is so clean and beautiful!

Totally understand about fitting in, I'm 61 and still trying to work it out. Merry Christmas to the both of you 🎄🎊🎉🎅

Holland is a very beautiful country too. Have a nice time!!

Nice to visit your home . We are where we are supposed to be . Καλες γιορτές 🎁

Glad your back safe and well. The dogs will have missed you.. Have a great week.

Have the best possible time with family Bee! Much love and many many blessings. Val❤️🙏🥰🙌🌹💖

Hi Bee and Simon, we have only recently discovered your vlog so have gone back to the beginning of your series. We watch one episode every morning and it inspires us for the day. Thank you so much, we love your vlogs and your authentic and positive outlook! Keep sharing your beautiful message! Suz & Jen 😊

Have you contacted GAR? Based in the UK but very active helping dog rescue organisations in Greece. They might help you find new homes with land for those 2 lovelies. 🤞🤞

ok you don't need much space to live ha, so if normally what would you need half the island, or half of Crete

Simon is an artisan. Loved to hear his input. Again, a beautiful creative video.

ΚΑΛΑ ΝΑ ΠΕΡΆΣΕΙΣ ΜΕ ΤΗΝ ΟΙΚΟΓΈΝΕΙΑ ΣΟΎ ❤❤😚🤗🙏🙏🌼🌷🌷🌷🍁🍄🍁

Even though I live in Athens it was lovely to see your view on it. Just so you know you can take the metro from Syntagma to the airport. There is also a bus from there and it’s a bit cheaper. The bus also runs all night long unlike the metro. Have a good time with your family!! Hope to see some videos from there.

Wonderful property

A few surprises in this one 😊

Looking fantastic Bee. X

Hi guys it’s ok just take it one day at a time. it’s is what it is it called life see you in your next video ✌️👍🤙❤️🇬🇷❤️

Simon, the kamara is beautiful! Ditto the fires. Bravo!

Enjoy your time with your family ❤

great video ☺

Aha, you bought the whole catalog from Ikea 😂. What a nice place is the caveroom, but also the whole house and garden are so nice. Have a good time with your family. Greatings from Aruba where a stay till 5 december, Joke

Hola, Thankyou for another lovely video, and for beautiful Athens. Enjoy your family, safe trip home. ❤

Hi Bee didn’t know you was from Holland I would have said ou was from England your English is Brilliant enjoy your holidays with the family x

You are both magicians! It's wonderful to see how your hard work pays off. Thanks also for the Athens scenes. I went there alone on my first trip in 2010, and the magic continues...✨💛

I’ve been thinking about Pip and assuming she had passed. I’m so sad for you Bee ❤😢

Wow so much work on your little home has been achieved lately and really looking so peaceful and calm. Love your pretty art work, have a lovely time away with your family. 💚

Hi Bee! Your artwork is beautiful! I'm referring to your paintings and also your crochet. Your love of animals, plants and nature is admirable and is the time you spend taking care of them. Your home is coming along beautifully but I must admit I was disappointed to see your choice of aluminum windows and doors on a stone house and especially in the Mani area. It would have been more authentic, a natural product and true to form to have enhanced the stone with wood. I'm sure there are many woodworkers in the area that would have been a good choice. Throughout Greece I have seen stone houses on beaten paths with wooden doors and windows that have stood the test of time with one hundred year old doors and then some. All the best to both you and Simon nonetheless.

That lentil stew looked delicious. Could Simon share the ingredients as I’d like to make something that looks and I’m sure tastes that good! Thank you 🙏 🙏 ❤

I need stone work done too, what is pointing called in Greek?

You're both such hard workers - I admire that! And the results will make it all worth it. Your art is also really inspiring. Thank you for sharing. I hope your trip goes smoothly. You deserve a holiday. Enjoy! 💌

my wife and i thought you drank the green paint !

It's all coming along nicely now 😊

Now I know how a crab Apple looks like. Crab Apple is a remedy from Bach and it is a cleaning remedy for body and soul. I used it a lot and it helps me. You and Simon did a lot of work these months. Have a nice time in Holland.

Love your channel so much. One small suggestion...when you put the camera on your face, it would be better to be not so close. Lovely camera work otherwise.

Thank you for a beautiful video! And I really like your small paintings, they're so adorable 💜

I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Your watercolours are beautiful. Have a good week ♥

You are an artist! such nice little paintings. Looking forward to every sunday to watch. ❤

I’m so not surprised your views and subscribers have grown. It’s so easy to be sucked into your world, to beautiful Mani, to the dogs and to your energy. Well done Bee, well done. I don’t care that in your eyes there are glitches, quite honestly I don’t see them and will watch very video with immense pleasure. Thank you ❤
