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 )
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 ♥️
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!
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 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!
@@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 🎉
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!
How did I live without your videos??? Bless the algorithm… What an amazing human being you are. I bought your book before watching any videos and now there is so much goodness out here on TH-cam. I am so grateful. ❤
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!
@@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!! ❤
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 ❤!
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 😊
You are putting Svalbard on the map. Does everyone there know who you are? Congratulations on the success of your book. That is awesome. I'm so happy for you. 😊
i just found your channel, and i have anxiety and autism, and i just watched a few of your videos and they bring me so Much comfort❤ I LOVE this kind of northern enviroment, and i would love to, if not in Svalbard, then in norway sometime.
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.
Hi Cecilia 👋 I suffer from seasonal depression, and winter gives me the blues. I watch your show every day, and it has helped me cope with the depression. Thank you. Your boyfriend is amazing, and I love his cooking lessons. Your show rocks....
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!
I started watching your videos when my mom started Hospice a year and a half ago. They have brought a moment of Zen that still calms my soul even now as I support my elderly father. ❤
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.
Hello ! Cecille ! To see that you have your first book means that you made a lot of people happy. Including your self. Your fun to watch ! Keep up the good works !!!
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!
HUGE applause from Canada!!! Making the NYTimes is no mean feat, congratulations from a long-time viewer, love the channel and the energy, a great, positive force.
My husband travels for work. Time apart is always bittersweet. You’ve got it right. Appreciate the time to do whatever you want to do, and eat whatever you want to eat.
Totally understand! My husband sometimes travels for work, and I do miss him while he’s gone! When our daughter (now 13) was little, he’d take a text-only version of her books that I’d type up for him in Word so that we could FaceTime at bedtime and he could read to her. Most of the time he’s gone to places in driving distance (but far enough to stay in a hotel), but in the last year he’s had to fly to places, and I’m a little jealous of it, lol. His last trip was to Salt Lake City (from Pittsburgh), and I absolutely envied his views of the mountains out there! Beautiful! Anyway, we miss each other, but it’s obviously good for his career.
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'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.
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! ❤❤❤
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 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!!!
Cecilia, remember that you wrote your book based on your lives on Svalbard and you took all those amazing photographs and these are the reasons why your first book has made it into the New York Times best seller book list! We have bought your book because you’re awesome, you!! And Christoffer and Grim!!! I am constantly picking up your book, which is on my coffee table. 💐🌻🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️
It’s been a ROUGH week here in America & I’m watching this gaining a little hope that all is still well in other parts of this world… calm in the storm. And being insanely jealous about where u live. 😉 Congrats on the book. It’s in my cart, can’t wait to buy 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
This episode was so calming after a busy weekend. Thank you! BTW, my husband is a Toyota mechanic and is always reminding people that four wheel drive only helps in deep snow. In icy conditions, it is no help. Might as well be in two wheel drive. Slowing down is what helps Be safe! 💙
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.
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 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 live in Texas where you rarely see snow and it’s warm/humid. Your videos are a little escape to a magical snowy/cold world. Thank you for these wonderful videos!
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
Thank you Cecilia! 43 minutes of peace! Your filming is amazing and your kindness… as the northern lights, beyond amazing! You deserve being on the NYT best selling list and more!
My life goal is to visit Svalbard and "secretly" run into you and Christopher to say hello 😅Sunday morning coffee and watching your channel is my favorite thing to do.
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.
How to safe firewood: Stak the wood all at once into the oven, not piece by piece - so you dont loose so much hot air in the exhaust. Start with the largest pieces and ignite from top to down to avoid unburned woodgas and smoke; Bring in the firewood some days before using it so it can dry out more; If the flames are gone close the air flow. Have a nice winter! :)
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.
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.
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! 💟🌠
Awwww. No matter the size, the family member is important. You can never replace the little soul but you can help another when it feels right. When our beloved Golden Retriever died and the next year our great ginger cat. So at 71, we took our chance to travel(in our social security and my husband's small pension). The delights of Norway are real. And England, Scotland, Budapest, Provence, Tuscany and Poland, Nederland..... living like a local a month at a time. Either way, your life is going to be rich and full. Your "little one" is resting, waiting.
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!
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
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 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 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’m doing the same thing.
She helps me with depression, because she is soooo positive and up-beat about everything!
Absolutely agree! Watching her videos always lifts my spirit!
Especially the cold dark winter.
I'm dealing with that as well, and you are so right about Cecilia. Maybe we need to visit her and overcome this. Therapy in Svalbard. 😊

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 always skip TH-cam ads, but Grim's has to be watched. Adorable!
I live in Texas where you rarely see snow and it’s warm/humid. Your videos are a little escape to a magical snowy/cold world. Thank you for these wonderful videos!
So RELAXING and seeing your continued appreciation for ALL THINGS polar nights is admirable. 😊
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
❤❤Polar nights, northern lights, snow and your videos make a great cozy season!
@5:06 Grim is zooming with his heart full of joy&love for his mom! And his hapy life mom&dad provide❤
Thank you Cecilia! 43 minutes of peace! Your filming is amazing and your kindness… as the northern lights, beyond amazing! You deserve being on the NYT best selling list and more!
I absolutely love how soothing this channel is
My life goal is to visit Svalbard and "secretly" run into you and Christopher to say hello 😅Sunday morning coffee and watching your channel is my favorite thing to do.
Congratulations, Ceciia about your book, making it one of New York’s best seller list. It’s such a great accomplishment!
CONGRATULATIONS Cecilia for your book making it into the New York Times Bestsellers list….YOU ARE FAMOUS !!!!!
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.
How to safe firewood: Stak the wood all at once into the oven, not piece by piece - so you dont loose so much hot air in the exhaust. Start with the largest pieces and ignite from top to down to avoid unburned woodgas and smoke; Bring in the firewood some days before using it so it can dry out more; If the flames are gone close the air flow.
Have a nice winter! :)
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.
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!
Cecilia! Congratulations on your book reaching the bestseller list!
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.
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!!!!
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! 💟🌠
OMG!!! Congratulations on your book! I was on the verge of tears I was so happy for you. You must be over the moon with happiness!
21:17 well deserved huge congratulations on making the NYT best seller list! Such an amazing achievement 👏👏👏👏🙌📖🍾🥂🥳
🎉 Congratulations on the book! "Life on Svalbard" is truly a masterpiece! 📖✨💯👏
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.
needed this today! my very beloved (and very old!) hamster died yesterday and i’m feeling so down. so going to get cosy with this 🤍🤍
Awwww. No matter the size, the family member is important. You can never replace the little soul but you can help another when it feels right. When our beloved Golden Retriever died and the next year our great ginger cat. So at 71, we took our chance to travel(in our social security and my husband's small pension). The delights of Norway are real. And England, Scotland, Budapest, Provence, Tuscany and Poland, Nederland..... living like a local a month at a time. Either way, your life is going to be rich and full. Your "little one" is resting, waiting.
I am sorry for your loss. I am sure he had the best life with you.
I’m so sorry for your loss…❤
@@pammillerhoward7785beautifully said ❤️ Hello 🤗 from Eastern Europe and my lifestyle and countryside channe😊🐕
Love spending my Sunday mornings in Svalbard with you and Grimm, Thanks for 43.30!!!
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!
Congratulations on the success of your book !!
OMG!!!! Your 1st book, and just THE NEW YORK TIMES best seller list🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations!!
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
So glad you shared your life on Svalbard. ❤
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 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 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.
