    What gorgeous progress you have made there. I love watching your older videos to catch up and learn something from you. The pollinators will save us if we can only learn how to care for them and the lands.

    Watching your videos is so relaxing. Your words are very true and inspiring. I enjoyed hearing the sound of the wind rocking the trees and the rain, your steps through the forest to get home ... for me, THAT'S LIVING . Thank you for everything you share. I would like to give you a hug. sending blessings to you and Lord Jack. May the goddess always blooming in you.🌺🧚‍♀️🧙‍♀️🌲☘️🌼

    YES! Another video and I am just smiling ear to ear to be able to step into your beautiful part of the world Colette. Your voice is just the most calming thing. I find myself looking at the world in a very different way recently. More in the way I used to look at the world when I was younger, and it's amazing how much better I feel and how much more I want to do. Your videos help me greatly. Wishing you the very best. ❤️

    oh I agree with you, dear Colette. whatever is going on in politics and on TV, has nothing to do with our reality. I too totally distance myself from all that. Now I not blind nor deaf to it - I keep an eye on the suckers ;-) But my life and reality is my home, my garden, and my relationship with myself and mother earth. Thank your for the lovely message in this video. Love the walks you take us on, around your grounds. Blessings from DK.

    Good morning Colette, what you explained at the beginning of your video about the absence of flooding at your place no matter how much it rains and pours is very enlightening.
    For those who have not yet read “a cottage and 3 acres” I encourage you to do so as as I discovered myself , this beautiful haven wouldn’t have come to existence without a careful planning.
    I had been especially interested in the part where you had explained the digging work that you got done at the very beginning so the extra water would be channeled out.
    Like everybody else here, I long for a new video from you and I check my iPad for alerts daily, it is only recently after reading your book that I understand even more how come this spectacular environment came to life, subsisted and thrived to this day.

    Bealtaine cottage videos you put up, always bring motivation, inspiration , joy and peace as I witness the miracles and magic of Mother Earth through them. Video like this one, always helps me with Hope, because I live in a city which has started bursting at it's seam. A beautiful and green town once, has become a living example of destruction at the hands of humans and their greed. It hurts immensely to witness this deterioration. But then a video like this stops me from being frustrated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping my hope alive. 💚

    Bless the rain! I've found the cotoneaster is one of the most popular early bloomers in the garden. Even though I only have the commonly planted American variety, I´m still amazed at how many wild bees and especially bumblebees are attracted to it come early spring. I used to call it "Bumblebee-Bush" before I knew its proper name. I want to get the European variety this fall and am really looking forward to how it will do in the garden. I´m always amazed at the biomass my small garden produces in just one season. I´m also regularly cutting back and clearing to maintain the status quo. I just love it!
    Also, your nuanced perspective is much appreciated.

    Well said there, re. creating your own reality. Before I built my house I also spent a great deal of time walking the land, observing the drainage, the direction of the wind, even feeling into the energy of different areas. I formed an intimate connection with the land before disturbing anything. Everything I did was intuitively guided which is how I’ve always been. It came as quite a surprise and shock to learn how many people are so disconnected and behave like a bull in a china shop especially when it comes to Mother Nature.

Peace and love to you and your beautiful home. Time stops when I work in the garden. Mother Earth is powerful. Reinvigorating and planting our gardens to support Mother Earth's flora and fauna is an act of respect and love. Its up to us to provide the opportunity restore and renew as we depend on her abundance. You are inspiring!

    Beautiful, profound words at the end there, Collette 🙏🌍. You are right, we can either become absorbed with the negativity of all the "drama" in the world, or make the choice to surround ourselves with joy and gratitude, this is the advice that I give to my children.
    We make choices within our reality...
    In the past 6 months I have gone from having absolutely no gardening experience/knowledge, to now having a patio full of beautiful flowers, I am growing sweetcorn and herbs, I even have a mini greenhouse and a compost bin now!. I tend to the garden daily, and it brings me such happiness.
    Still small steps, and I still haven't got a vast amount of knowledge, but I have successfully kept all these plants healthy and alive, to which I am really proud of!.
    You have been such an inspiration Collette, thankyou🙏.

My space is small but I've managed to create my own little haven however while both back and front gardens are quite lush the side of the house has always had me pondering. It's not too wide and it slopes a little but this video has prompted me to 'lose the grass' lol so I'm going to fill it with green lushness in dedication to u and your beautiful and inspirational Bealtaine Cottage! Love and blessings to u and Jack

    I just finished a novel, The Overstory, by Richard Powers. It's very long and involved but a textbook about trees and our relationship to them. As you say, they have been here long before us, and then are all connected to each other and to the rest of creation. What a new perspective I've been introduced in the years I have been walking the woods with you and Jack. I love hearing the rain. Thanks for your thoughtfulness.

    Leather is also part of an artisanal world which is in peril. We are not from the throw away generation so leather shoes as we know were highly prized polished cleaned and treasured. My job as the youngest was to clean wax and polish the family shoes using Kiwi shoe polish. I wouldn’t buy new leather now though. Gorgeous upholstery in real cars from the 50s should be looked after. Modern cars are ugly. I’m glad Jack has his fabulous new bed.

      @@bealtainecottage That's fair enough. When the time comes though it wouldn't hurt to have a few plants for animals and your herb collection for cooking. As regards to it becoming a cash crop, I do think that hemp will need to be grown on a large scale for the sake of saving our trees and other things. But I think it needs to be grown in a "Good over Greed" or "Protect over Profit" system.
