At 80, I am taking care of my husband who has dementia, and trying to survive on a tiny income. On days when I feel stuck you inspire me and reawaken my vigor and joy in my blessings.
@@maggiemaloney8599 It is not easy, taking care of someone who struggles with dementia. Care givers need breaks too. I hope there is someone helping you in this journey. Take care of yourself. ❤️❤️❤️
You should look into a home attendant to tend to your husband, I don’t know what country you live but in the US there are home attendant agencies that have home attendants come to your home and take care of a loved one who can’t manage things for free or a low fee based on how much you earn and depending on the client is they will provide 7 days a week up to 10-12 hours a day care or 24 hr care 2 home attendants do a 12 hr shift.

I relate. I'm trying youtube but the more I do, the less I feel like doing it. There's so much junk here. White noise. Nothingness. Distractions. I think what you doing is excellence @maryannknox7158
I have carved out my little indoor woodland in my little apartment here in Cincinnati Ohio. Lots of green plants, Christmas decorations and my sweet doggie, Teddie. He is a Corkie-half cocker spaniel, half Yorkie. He looks like Benjy! I’m determined to keep the “horrible, terrible “ far away from us!!
What a lovely treat for 'the girl'' Patsy. I remember seeing her completely happy sleeping on your fine clothing!!! Thanks for mentioning the storm by name....I knew it was harsh and unrelenting. Hearing the birds, the stove breathing is an absolute joy
Good morning Colette! I love your videos. It makes me realize there are nice serene places left for people. As you probably know, America is in complete turmoil now. I never thought I would ever see our Constitution and our forefathers being so disrespected. Blessings to you that you are living where you are.
Today, I’m thinking about my youngest son who passed away 29 yrs ago today. Wondering who he . .would have been and how my life would be. So much grief to bear for a boy of 23.
I think it may be the saddest thing of all to lose a child. This sadness happens every minute of every day to someone in this troubled world at the moment. Life goes on in many bittersweet ways. We find comfort in the smallest things.
I love Patsy’s little She Shed/dome 😊. A huge yes came to mind when you said Mothers Earth appreciates the woodland! I can hear her singing your praises. As always many blessings to you and yours! Thank you once again for sharing your incredible peace on earth. ❤️💕
Lovely to see Patsy settled in her lovely cosy new "den" and the wander around your woodlands and garden brought a breath of fresh air on this dark and wet Welsh afternoon.
You are so skilled with both the camera and narration Colette thank you for sharing, so inspiring. I envy you your reminiscing of ancestors, my parents never talked of theirs and I only have faint memories of two grandmothers and a much loved uncle who remains in my thoughts forty plus years since his passing. Blessings to you and Patsy 🥰
Little Patsy does enjoy her comforts! Such a lively little pup. Thank you for sharing your woodland garden this early winter. It would have been hard wet work clearing out the drains to make it flow properly. Your poly-tunnel has seen many changes over these years. I remember being enchanted by the sight of it the first time I saw it on your videos. It had beautiful rock edged beds, flowers, herbs, a water (well?), a lattice with vines and a small fruit tree. both ends were open and the little birds sheltered there and flew merrily 8n and out! It was so very pretty! I think there was even a string of solar fairy lights in the grape vine! and a round table and chairs to enjoy a break with some coffee! It was so functional and so pretty, but time and necessity changes how spaces are used, and I appreciate the need for plenty of space to age the wood you depend on for warmth and cooking. I will listen to your new "ancestors" pod caste while I make some pasta sauce for our supper. Take care Collette. Sending a big hug from the chilly, snowy 🇨🇦 prairies! ❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️
Yes indeed there have been many changes in the tunnel and it is important as you say to keep up with the times we live in and allow a natural evolution to take place.
It is quite amazing what you can find out when you start researching female ancestors. One of mine, an army wife, lived in an early Australian penal colony and made the long voyage back to England with tiny twin daughters. Another, left a widow, struggled to survive in the notorious Hollybush area of London and finally died in the workhouse leaving a young orphaned son( my grandfather). A third had 13 children and only one survived to adulthood. The fourth took her family to England during the Irish famine, while her husband tried and failed to set up a new life for them in Canada. Finally, my grandmother followed her army husband to Palestine with four children, but went into early labour on the way and gave birth to my father in Egypt.
@ I agree. I hadn’t really thought about just looking at the women until you talked about your own writing. Thankyou. I have found trying to research women so difficult. You need a marriage certificate to go back to a maiden name and most of the time women were not expected to be literate and signed with an x. Pre census info relies on parish records and having a priest who could actually spell the name. Not only could it be spelled many different ways, but the habit of using the same given name again if the first one died can be so confusing along with every extended family using the same names for most of their children. That said, I know that I have some amazingly strong female ancestors and will definitely do my best to record their stories.
Good afternoon Collette. I know I always say it but thank you again for a lovely video, they bring me a little lightness into my days and I understand where you’re coming from with what you said 🙏. Love little girls new bed, it’s ideal for this weather , cosy but she can see out of it bless her. Her collar looks well smart too. Animals are a real comfort, they mean the world to me. I have a cat 🐱. The woodland looks beautiful as ever no matter the weather there is always beauty to see. I do enjoy the walks around your garden . Many blessing to you both 🌲🌲🌲.
Hi Colette, Patsy is so cute in her cavebed 💗🐶 So nice to see blackbirds by your feeders, I miss them so much! I'm looking forward to seeing them again in spring. Much love and blessings, Giulia
I listened to your recent podcast about all your “Grans” and was totally captured by your stories, and I’m keen to hear more. Even without knowing we carry on from those before….in some way… Lovely to see you so relaxed in the cottage.🐇♥️
You have a precious little angel. Patsy is so cute. Your home is so cozy. You are so fortunate to have memories of your grandmothers. I don't have memories at all but have heard a few stories. (All had passed away before I came into the world). Yes, very strong women. We really are the sum total of our forefathers. So many times i see the same mannerisms in my distant cousins. Truly amazing. We just had Thanksgiving, Nov. 28 - we are experiencing some very cold days. Love the sound of yiur kettle. Blessings galore. USA
Most of the memories I have were passed on to me by my grandparents and my parents. This is why stories and memories are so important and should be shared.
I hope you're keeping safe in Storm Darragh - I only get nth Ireland on my weather reports, being in Yorkshire, but that doesn't mean you won't be feeling it's full force too. I wish both of you a safe, warm, dry journey into the other side of this. 💜🍀💜
Goodmorning from the Great Lakes of Michigan, US. We are snowbound, in our cosy cottage on the pond. So very happy and grateful to see your video today. I have just bought an adorable 'cat chaise' for my chihuahua/terrier, as she can no longer leap onto my bed. I do hope she likes it 🥰
@@patriciamoran9143 Hello Patricia, I'm near Kalamazoo, just east of the lake-effect snow boundary. Hope you are staying warm, with your cuppa. Toasting your good health also 🍵🍵
The beautiful light of Ireland and the green foliage…. I was compelled to comment on the kettle and the ticking clock - it invokes the essence of your land 😊❤
You can see how much Patsy loves her Mum. So sweet to watch. Love your cosy world, looks like a wonderful blissful life in a mad world. I try to create my own little haven, away from all the craziness. Love, Light & Peace. 🌺❤ 🌸❤
I think you're a formidable woman yourself and look forward to hearing the stories of your great-grandmothers. It's lovely to walk the grounds of Bealtane with you. Thank you for sharing this. ❤
Hi Goddess Colette & Princess Patsy!🧚♂️ So enjoyed the update & seeing the gorgeous scenery! Patsy's new Princess Hut will surely keep her warmer & cozy! My Soul really needed to be reminded to focus on the Reality that I want & to create! Sending you & Bealtaine Cottage much Love & Appreciation!❤❤❤
Lovely video today, Colette. Patsy seems to be loving her new little cave. She's a lucky girl! Have a wonderful day. Take care. Blessings to you and Patsy. ❤
Patsy says, "Mom, your lap is warm!"...my cat is the same. Especially if my attention is on work or the phone. Gotta love them. Glad your birthday was enjoyable. ❤
How lovely that you can garden this time of the year, it seems your weather is quite interesting, here on Vancouver Island we have the rains even though I live on the dry side of the island. Happy belated birthday Colette… your mantel is beautiful
What a love cuppa we had together. Thank you for keeping me company while I had a break from the work after having guests over. Patsy is such a cute little thing ❤ Xx Blessings from Leicester England 😊xx
LOl. My brain also goes, "bunggggggggggggggg" when trying to remember a specific thing. Ive taken to asking the ancestors to help me remember and it does seem to help! Here in Maine, always loving your insight, skills and practices. best 2 U! All ways.
Oh how I have missed you & the littlin!It has turned quite cold in DE.USA.I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I saw green leaves & blooming flowers in Dec.How lucky you are! Ihave doubled my pet grooming buz so not much time for videos or gardening for that matter.I really missed you two!Blessings
Nothing like the sound of kettle whistling in a cozy kitchen! Hope you and Patsy are well! It was 16* F here this morning when I went out to feed everyone…thankfully no snow! Parts of upstate NY have had over 5 ft of snow and it’s still coming down. I find that your garden and woodland posts give me such a sense of peace when I watch them. Especially the sounds of the birds. Thank you so much for the joy you and sweet Patsy give me…🌲❄️🌲
I'm upstate New York, too, but in the Southern Catskills. We had 16°, too, early morning bitter cold weather. At the most, we've had a foot and a half of snow in one overnight snowfall, so far. We've had snow many other days but those haven't risen to that level. I love the look of the snow on my land and in the glistening trees, especially through my window while I'm drinking some soothing hot chocolate. Stay warm & safe up there. 😊
I love how you seem to be able to transmit the peace and beautiful sounds of nature thorough your videos to us and I loved and appreciated your Blessing all those who love Mother Earth. I do so LOVE history so I’m going to hightail it over to your website to listen to that podcast you mentioned! Sadly, I have never really known any of my family history past my mum and dad as they were all in Europe. I only had one aunt, my father’s sister. I have hoped that one day I might go to their places and find out about them, it’s a dream I carry in my heart. Dad from Denmark (his family book goes back to the 1400’s but it’s all in old Danish and no one I’ve asked can translate it 😢 Mum came from Austria but her parents were from Hungary and Either Slovakia or the Czech Republic, I’m not sure which because they came out to Australia just a few short years before WW2. Back then it was still Czechoslovakia. Anyway, thank you for sharing your lovely peaceful morning with us, it’s always such a joy to watch and listen to you. Blessings to you Colette and to Patsy ✨🌏❤️
Hello Colette. I have just joined your Patreon support platform. All the best from Butler Clough Cottage here in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. I am enjoying your BC Guide to the Deep Midwinter. Blessings to you. x
@@bealtainecottage you are most welcome, sorry it is only in a limited way as I support a Buddhist charity (female monastics) here in England and the Woodland Trust also. Take care if this storm is passing your way. x
December is certainly starting the winter like weather conditions in our environments. The cave is a great resource for dear Patsy to snuggle into. We all deserve a peaceful, cozy place to go and stay warm and snuggled. Little bits and bobs are exactly what is needed for our best way to find peace and joy in life. Gardening is always a blessing and a gift for grounding and finding the love of life unfolding in the mystery with enthusiasm and joy. 🎉💚🫶🪷🌱🕉🎑 Thanks Collette for sharing your time and your energies of kindness and nurturing with all of us. We can change our own personal energies in focusing on what we love and cherish. Do things that are beneficial and can help with our best interests of finding a new perspective and understanding the importance of creativity, gratitude and love. ❤🎉😊🕊👍💫🕉✨️☮️💜💚🌏💙
Hoping you are keeping safe and warm while the storm is passing through . It's rough where I am in Cornwall goodness me ! I love all the little changes you have been making around your home . 💐x
Hi Colette and Patsy, It is so good to see you again and the work you are doing at Bealtaine. It is a deeply grey, dark, wet day here in Shropshire, England, to the point I actually think I would appreciate a cave as well! I like the sound of imminent knitting arriving as and when. I love to see your projects. Your singing kettle reminded me of my own Gran. She had one that sat on her stove all day, humming quietly away. It isn't a sound you hear so often these days. Take care, Colette. Bright blessings to you and the wee girls. Debs X
What a wonderfully inspiring video Colette. Thank you so much. I loved seeing the winter garden and was struck by how beautifully deafening the bird song is. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that Bealtaine’s resident birds are singing for joy!😍 Also, how lovely for you to have known three of your four great-grandmothers. I never met any of mine and don’t even know the name of one of them, but the two I’ve heard most about both seem to have been strong farm women. In those days women were up against such a lot! One was called Harriet Pepper and I’m ridiculously proud that she came from Norfolk. Also, unlike her husband she could read and write so she did all the farm accounts as well as knowing how to read music and play the ‘American organ’ (whatever that is!). One of my paternal great grandmothers was a Londoner called Mary-Ann Sullivan and I’m sure she was of Irish stock which needless to say also pleases me! Her grandfather was Patrick Sullivan, a London blacksmith - now doesn’t that sound magical?
I think that getting to know our ancestors allows us to understand who we are and why we are such. All I know of my great grandmothers has been handed down to me in stories and anecdotes, photographs and memorabilia. Stories are powerful and here in Ireland they are almost sacred and kept true word for word. Of course one of the reasons for this is that the Celts never wrote anything done, because to write it down was to give away the power. Harriet sounds most interesting.
@ Yes, I imagine the Celtic oral tradition is a blessing as it keeps the stories not only alive but evolving a little with each generation. When I was younger I didn’t think to ask my parents more about their own ancestors and now sadly there’s really no one left who can sate my curiosity about them.
I love your beautiful green ‘gloves’ ! I loved the podcast and the talk on recognition of our ancestors who indeed live on through us and watch on and support us ❤
Hi Colette, another lovely video I throughly enjoyed watching.Just wanted to share that you inspired me with your planting even I dont have a land to garden because of you I started container gardening.Including vegetables and micro greens.Its been succesfull and love the results.Finding your channel is been such a great blessing to me thank you for everthing many hugs❤
Thoroughly enjoyed your video Colette, thank you very much. Been feeling very stressed out of late with things and this video has left me feeling calm again. Infact I've watched it twice 😊 Thank you xxx

Parts of upstate NY have had over 5 ft of snow and it’s still coming down. I find that your garden and woodland posts give me such a sense of peace when I watch them. Especially the sounds of the birds. Thank you so much for the joy you and sweet Patsy give me…🌲❄️🌲
I'm upstate New York, too, but in the Southern Catskills. We had 16°, too, early morning bitter cold weather. At the most, we've had a foot and a half of snow in one overnight snowfall, so far. We've had snow many other days but those haven't risen to that level. I love the look of the snow on my land and in the glistening trees, especially through my window while I'm drinking some soothing hot chocolate. Stay warm & safe up there. 😊
Not long now until the Solstice.
Stay warm, safe, busy, comfortable and happy.
Blessings ✨✨✨
I’m so looking forward to the return of the light and that beautiful slow climb to Imbolc!
Beautiful photography, sacred space, Thanks for sharing this delightful adventure 🕯️🌹🕯️ Bright Blessings to you and your Patsy 🌹🤗🌹
I love how you seem to be able to transmit the peace and beautiful sounds of nature thorough your videos to us and I loved and appreciated your Blessing all those who love Mother Earth.
I do so LOVE history so I’m going to hightail it over to your website to listen to that podcast you mentioned! Sadly, I have never really known any of my family history past my mum and dad as they were all in Europe.
I only had one aunt, my father’s sister. I have hoped that one day I might go to their places and find out about them, it’s a dream I carry in my heart. Dad from Denmark (his family book goes back to the 1400’s but it’s all in old Danish and no one I’ve asked can translate it 😢
Mum came from Austria but her parents were from Hungary and Either Slovakia or the Czech Republic, I’m not sure which because they came out to Australia just a few short years before WW2. Back then it was still Czechoslovakia.
Anyway, thank you for sharing your lovely peaceful morning with us, it’s always such a joy to watch and listen to you. Blessings to you Colette and to Patsy ✨🌏❤️
You may not have known much of your family, but be sure your family knows you and you carry them forward.
Hello Colette. I have just joined your Patreon support platform. All the best from Butler Clough Cottage here in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. I am enjoying your BC Guide to the Deep Midwinter. Blessings to you. x
Thank you so much for your support, it is much appreciated, especially in the times we are in.
@@bealtainecottage you are most welcome, sorry it is only in a limited way as I support a Buddhist charity (female monastics) here in England and the Woodland Trust also. Take care if this storm is passing your way. x
Also cut back the roses to about 5 inch high. Great results. 😊😊
After the day I've had today, I just needed to sit down in front of the fire, and listen to a bit of chat. That was lovely, thank you.
I'm just a few mins in so far but I absolutely love your decor ❤
It cold here in Virginia 29 degrees and snow I love the cottage Also the woodlands
I’m just going to bed at this time and it is extremely cold outside, in fact it’s freezing. Stay warm and snug.
December is certainly starting the winter like weather conditions in our environments.
The cave is a great resource for dear Patsy to snuggle into.
We all deserve a peaceful, cozy place to go and stay warm and snuggled.
Little bits and bobs are exactly what is needed for our best way to find peace and joy in life.
Gardening is always a blessing and a gift for grounding and finding the love of life unfolding in the mystery with enthusiasm and joy. 🎉💚🫶🪷🌱🕉🎑
Thanks Collette for sharing your time and your energies of kindness and nurturing with all of us.
We can change our own personal energies in focusing on what we love and cherish. Do things that are beneficial and can help with our best interests of finding a new perspective and understanding the importance of creativity, gratitude and love. ❤🎉😊🕊👍💫🕉✨️☮️💜💚🌏💙
I hardly agree with all you have said!
@bealtainecottage Ditto dear friend 🩷💙💜💚🌱🎉✨️🙌🕊
Your home decorations and window box are lovely.
Another lovely video, your house just radiates calm and peace, thank you Colette ❤
Hoping you are keeping safe and warm while the storm is passing through . It's rough where I am in Cornwall goodness me ! I love all the little changes you have been making around your home . 💐x
I enjoy your videos so much, I never want them to end.
Hi Colette and Patsy, It is so good to see you again and the work you are doing at Bealtaine. It is a deeply grey, dark, wet day here in Shropshire, England, to the point I actually think I would appreciate a cave as well! I like the sound of imminent knitting arriving as and when. I love to see your projects. Your singing kettle reminded me of my own Gran. She had one that sat on her stove all day, humming quietly away. It isn't a sound you hear so often these days. Take care, Colette. Bright blessings to you and the wee girls. Debs X
Sounds emit energy and a whistling kettle emits an energy of comfort and peace.
So true.
What a wonderfully inspiring video Colette. Thank you so much. I loved seeing the winter garden and was struck by how beautifully deafening the bird song is. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that Bealtaine’s resident birds are singing for joy!😍
Also, how lovely for you to have known three of your four great-grandmothers. I never met any of mine and don’t even know the name of one of them, but the two I’ve heard most about both seem to have been strong farm women. In those days women were up against such a lot! One was called Harriet Pepper and I’m ridiculously proud that she came from Norfolk. Also, unlike her husband she could read and write so she did all the farm accounts as well as knowing how to read music and play the ‘American organ’ (whatever that is!). One of my paternal great grandmothers was a Londoner called Mary-Ann Sullivan and I’m sure she was of Irish stock which needless to say also pleases me! Her grandfather was Patrick Sullivan, a London blacksmith - now doesn’t that sound magical?
I think that getting to know our ancestors allows us to understand who we are and why we are such. All I know of my great grandmothers has been handed down to me in stories and anecdotes, photographs and memorabilia. Stories are powerful and here in Ireland they are almost sacred and kept true word for word. Of course one of the reasons for this is that the Celts never wrote anything done, because to write it down was to give away the power. Harriet sounds most interesting.
@ Yes, I imagine the Celtic oral tradition is a blessing as it keeps the stories not only alive but evolving a little with each generation. When I was younger I didn’t think to ask my parents more about their own ancestors and now sadly there’s really no one left who can sate my curiosity about them.
I love your beautiful green ‘gloves’ ! I loved the podcast and the talk on recognition of our ancestors who indeed live on through us and watch on and support us ❤
Agree the wrist warmers were lovely.🐝🇨🇦👋🏻
I will go and listen to your podcasts as it does sound wonderful for a winter's evening especially ❤
Please touch base back here and let me know which one is your favourite.

I think that many of us are suffering with the stress created by dark forces. We do what we can to help but must keep moving forward in the light.
