    Colette O'Neill lives at Bealtaine Cottage, once a forlorn, abandoned home set in some of the poorest land in Ireland. Land restoration through planting has been a work of faith and hope and Colette weaves this passion for the Great Mother into all of her work, writing about, photographing and filming Mother Earth in all her seasonal joy and beauty. Bealtaine Cottage now shines as a beacon of hope, that all is not lost and we can bring forth Eden, even in the midst of so much destruction.
    Colette O'Neill is an author and founder of The Bealtaine Project, in the west of Ireland.

    I have to say, I went on to re-watch The Unseen Host in the Fairy Wood. One of my favorite videos. It magical for sure. SammyBear was playing with the fairies 🧚🏻‍♀️ who came out early to play, I’m just convinced of it! You talked about Kristi and her donation and how it moved you to tears. I loved how your dreams manifested into reality that day. But, one of my favorite things is just after the 29 minute mark, where you zoom in on the setting sun reflecting off of a tree. I could stare at that one thing all day as it is just absolutely beautiful. You have truly created an amazing place and we are blessed that you chose to share it with us! Thank you Dear Colette. ❤️

    I have to laugh, we had a tree with a hole as children. When mom made veggie soup I'd ask to eat outdoors and dump mine in the tree. It probably thrived on it.

    Utter nonsense...love it! I’ve grown many things in dappled shade that do fine even when rated for full sun. As a side note, I was rear ended in my car today, we all now how that sets off the adrenaline! I was able to drive home, make a strong cup of calming tea, watched this video and the jitters subsided. Bealtaine, birdsong in the background and your lovely narrative garden walks are healing in more ways than you know. Blessings.

    Love the walk today. Homemade bread with homemade hummus and avocado is my favorite breakfast! It is exactly what I had before heading to the community garden (an old dairy farm that is now Trust land and gardened in community, no individual plots) to work this morning. Hope you are having a wonderful day in your garden today!

    How lovely it all looks like there, even if it is cold enough to freeze over the pond. The sunshine surprises me as I had thought Ireland was always wet. As ever, your walks and talks are a balm to soothe my soul. Especially appreciated during a current rough patch, I feel stuck in the brambles on this highway called life. Thank you and blessings to all at Bealtaine Cottage.

    It’s so peaceful there. I love all the care and thoughtfulness you have put into the land. The animals are so funny too! This is peaceful for me to watch these videos and learn. Thank you much from New Jersey!

    Hello Collette, great to see Bealtaine's beautiful gardens even under the start of the beast from the east weather, and so sad to see the frozen frog spawn altho it is nature.. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, with all your wisdom, influence and reach amongst the online masses, do encourage viewers to remember to not only put out food for wildlife, but remember to put out clean, fresh water daily cos most of our non -running water ( and even our canals) are freezing over, like your pond. I walk around the allotments with a hammer, breaking the frozen surface of water butts so the birds can drink. No, I'm not a dangerous person at large with a blunt weapon, really. Bless you and thank you for all your beautiful videos xx xx

    The plastic is mostly likely polyethelene. Plastic on a tunnel will break down in a few years but the degrading in poly is mostly in loss of light transfer. When I take the poly off my big tunnel I move it to another where I store firewood for drying. Great stuff!

    Gosh... it looks so beautiful and sunny... and the water and pond is iced over. Bloomin cold!! I wonder, does Ireland have ticks? I just remember midges and wolf spiders... earwigs... those creepy crawlies. Stay safe and warm Colette, Jack, Sammy bear and Beauty. Raven and Dobby, our Grey's and all of us here wish you well. 💐

    • @bealtainecottage
      @bealtainecottage  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, there are ticks, during the summer. I remove any I see on my pets. Occasionally I have to remove one from me too. I have never seen them as a particular problem.

    Beautiful walk this morning Colette, thank-you. What is the lovely lush dark green plant you have arched?

  • @TD402dd
    @TD402dd ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm sure the question must pass from time to time why Fairies, Leprechauns, and pixies live in Ireland more than anywhere else. The answer is rather simple; the people there believe in them.

    Collette, I don’t recall ever seeing rabbits in your gardens. Are there any and if so what varieties? We enjoy watching the wild rabbits frolic from dusk to dawn here in the south west of Florida.

    • @bealtainecottage
      @bealtainecottage  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We have hares here in the west of Ireland...very few, if any, rabbits.

    Colette, let me know if you get snowed in. I will hook my Jack Russell's to a sled and send Edward with supplies. It may take awhile as he is coming from Waterford and the Jack Russell's have short legs. So does Edward! Respect, C Annette 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄

      Spring well is fine...it never freezes. SammyBear is in my bed...almost permanently.

      Oh I hope! I will have kitty withdrawal. =) But I also honor and respect the boundaries of animals and humans. No sense in stressing anyone.
